That night the moon was nowhere to be seen as the wind howled through the mountains. Countless stars scattered moon dusts throughout the night sky, reanimating the footprints from eons ago.
“Girl, am I being too cruel here?” Jiang Ming muttered softly.
“No!” Linglong shook her head explaining, “For cultivators, once we are at opposing groups, then it’s either kill or be killed. Senior Brother, why do we name the devil as the devil? That’s because they don’t draw any lines and even kill the commoners. On the other hand, we cultivators only kill other
cultivators. Cultivators rob and steal from the creations of the heavens and earth, seeking for longevity themselves. The heavens and earth see cultivators as robbers and the commoners see us as the source of chaos. There is no right or wrong, no morals to be spoken of and no justice or maleficent to be
judged upon for bloodshed between cultivators. It’s simply kill or be killed and there’s no need to feel any guilt about it. Whether you kill someone or have your life taken from you, there’s no one to be blamed for it! This applies to both you and 1! But if anyone goes against you, then I will slaughter 36,000
clans!” Linglong had extraordinary resolution when she said that last part.
“Thirty-six thousand clans? Girl, if you counted like that then it’d be annihilating the whole world!” Jiang Ming could not help but laugh.
“So what? If something really happens to you, then the heavens and earth shall be sacrificed for your burial!” Linglong muttered as she laid her head onto his shoulders.
“Stop speaking nonsense. You are fine and so am I!” Jiang Ming muttered as he hugged her even tighter, “Since you’ve already created clones, try your best to let your real self be safe in the mountains.”
“Okay! I’ll listen to you, Senior Brother!” Linglong agreed.
The two quietly sat together listening to the silence of the peaceful night.
It didn’t take long before the combat mannequin returned to Jiang Ming.
The first alliance formed by many great monarchs of different clans came to seek justice from Jiuyang Sect but was totally annihilated. Even the monk Hui Xin and the rest were all killed, including Ming Yuan who was a Paradis expert. There were no survivors at all.
From the incident, immense fear immediately loomed over all the other alliances and broke up the alliances altogether.
Qingyun Sect
“Master!” The Holy Son Ming Yuzi greeted Qing Fengzi and continued, “We’ve just received news from the Qing province that the alliance lead by Ming Yuan, the expert of the Fo Sect was disbanded.”
“Oh? That was fast. What happened? Did Ming Yuan get killed?” Qing Fengzi was taken aback.
“That’s right! Even though many Great Monarchs were not at the scene, there were still quite a number of people from the alliance. However, it didn’t take long before they were all killed and even Ming Yuan didn’t manage to cause any problems. From our speculations, it seems that there’s at least one
Extreme Path expert protecting Jiuyang Sect.
“An Extreme Path Expert?” Qing Fengzi pondered to himself as numerous thoughts were rapidly racing through his mind. “Long ago, Jiuyang Sect has always been quiet and respectful to our clan. Ever since.
He paused a little before continuing on, “Ever since Mu Shuiyun’s son went to propose his marriage, there seems to be some changes from then on. Mu Shuiyun’s son was killed around that time and upon investigation, it was discovered that a faction formed from the Yinmo sect was prepared to launch
their attack onto Jiuyang Sect. This erupted into a great war. Later on, Mu Shuiyun tragically died but no one knew where. Bishui Sect who launched their attack onto the Jiuyang Sect was then annihilated and there were even a few Paradis Experts who died in the battle!”
“Not long after, there was a huge explosive wave of terrifying aura coming from the direction of Qingyun Sect. Qing Xuzi and I went over to investigate but we bumped into two Extreme Path experts from the Yinmo Sect instead. A great battle erupted that night!”
“Traces of Jiuyang Sect’s shadow could be seen from every one of these incidents!”
“Now that I think of it, I’m suspecting that the total annihilation of Yinmo Sect, Long Yuan and the Submerged Dragon Immortal Union had something to do with Jiuyang Sect!”
Qing Fengzi kept analyzing what happened before and after the Great Eastern War, carefully going through the information he received, careful not to miss out any details. Yet the more he thought about the whole incident, the more he felt that Jiuyang Sect had a lot to do with all of them.
Today, this incident has further confirmed his speculations.
“That can’t be! Jiuyang Sect looked so innocent and without any background. What can they even be hiding? Master, don’t forget that when Yinmo Sect and the rest were destroyed, how many experts were present? There were a few Imminent Immortal experts and even a few Extreme Path experts among
them! Even when our Qingyun Sect is in its glorious days and has ample preparation, we might not be able to take them down overnight!”
“That’s what I’m saying! There’s just so much mystery shrouding over this incident!”
“Master, what should we do now? Now that we know the Jiuyang Sect is hiding a Yinmo Sect’s remnant, should we continue to investigate the matter?”
“Don’t take any drastic action before we understand more details. After all, we can’t afford to experience another fiasco again. For the sake of our own safety and to find out more about the real situation of Jiuyang Sect, we will just ensure that the news is thoroughly spread throughout the Eastern Region,
sit back and watch them fight among themselves.”
Jiang Ming did not know about the Qingyun Sect’s situation, nor did he care.
Five people appeared hundreds of miles away from Jiuyang Sect.
Leading them was a shirtless man who had two curved homs on his forehead. Although the aura emitted from his body was very obscure, it still gave off a strong oppressive feeling and boiling rage.
He stopped atop the mountain, gazing around with his bloodshot eyes.
“This is indeed a perfect planar world with ample spiritual energy and obscure Dao Fluctuation!” With a sigh, the man turned around and said, “The mission to investigate details on Jiuyang Sect seemed to be considered a lower level mission of only C-Grade, yet the time given for this mission is one whole
month. This seems a little abnormal. To be on the safe side, we will follow what we did previously, find the location of Jiuyang Sect, collect information and then control the disciples of the Jiuyang Sect to infiltrate into their internal departments. How about that? Does anyone have anything to add?”
“No! Let’s do what you’ve just said!” the rest of the figures replied.
“Alright then. We will split up here and go collect more information. Regroup here after a day!” the shirtless man commanded.
Among the five of them, some flew away, some dug into the ground, some disappeared just like that, while some took out their flying machine and everyone was just gone in a blink of an eye.
In Chuyang Peak.
“It’s late at night now, go and rest!” Jiang Ming shook Linglong who was lying on his body.
“I don’t want to! It’s comfortable like this!” Linglong simply shook her head.
“Well, if you don’t want to rest, I still need to go to sleep!”
“You could just sleep like this!”
“Stop making trouble!”
“Fine!” Linglong finally gave up and reluctantly left.
Once Jiang Ming went back to his room, with a simple thought, the room was completely sealed, not allowing any outsiders to peek into the room.
“Guess it’s time to head into the Supreme Pagoda for a look!” As Jiang Ming thought in his mind, he took out the Supreme token and vanished instantly.
Name: Jiang Ming
Cultivation Base: Level 8 (Paradis Realm)
Points Accumulated: 991 points.
Honors: [3rd Level: 6 stages record, 21 levels record, 992 units of special ability], [4th Level: 6 stages record, 15 levels record], [5th Level: 9 stages record, 21 level record, 68672 units of special ability]
Since he had improved in his cultivation, he naturally returned to the Supreme Pagoda again to take on the third test and passed the test without any hitches.
As he stood in the middle of the square looking around. It was very spacious yet very empty.
He knew that even if someone left anything such as a sofa around here, it would be recycled or wiped away when there was no longer anyone around.
“So very few people were chosen by the Supreme Pagoda!” Jiang Ming muttered to himself.
He later opened up the Supreme Chat room and started chatting inside.
Uiang Ming: I’m now at the Level 8 of cultivation and currently in the 6th level of the Supreme Pagoda. Anyone up for some gathering?}
[Zhan Ge: What a surprise group admin! Unfortunately, I’m now at level 9, otherwise I will be able to take a look at the peerless face of our group admin.]
Uiang Ming: I’ma straight man, don’t have a peerless look and I’m very masculine!]
[Dongfang Chenxi: Hehe! This I can vouch for. From his masculinity there’s a hint of peerlessness in them!]
[Ao Jiu: That means he can be both on the giving and the receiving end right? Oh mighty group admin! Care to have in-depth interaction with me?]
[Ming Ji: Pervert!]
Uiang Ming: You know the group admin can mute people right?)
[Ao Jiu: Well, don’t mind me. I was sleepwalking just now.]
[Hei Gu: Guys, I’m in trouble.]
[Ao Gu: What happened? Still haven’t fended off their attacks?]
[Hei Gu: No I haven’t. The enemy is just too strong. Even with the world’s law suppressing him, it still couldn’t stop him. I’m losing ground on my side now and I think I’m about to die.]
Uiang Ming: Hei Gu. What’s this about?)
[Ao Jiu: Let me have the honor! Wait, wait. I need to adjust myself before the story.]
{Zhan Ge, Jiang Ming, Tian Fozi: ….]
All three were speechless.
[Ao Jiu: (Cough) Right! The planar world that Hei Gu is in right now is facing invasion by another small chiliocosm. Even under the suppression of his world’s power, there were still quite a number of level 9 and level 10 experts who descended into their world and started a bloodbath. I heard from Hei Gu
that they seemed to be trying to completely annihilate his world. We’ve given a few Immortal Weapons to back him up but still couldn’t stop them.]
(Jiang Ming: Complete annihilation? What good does that do for them? Won’t there be a lot of restrictions when a peerless outsider descends into another world?
[Ao Jiu: Of course there’s a lot of benefits to it! Once they completely take over, they will be able to lay their hands on a sea of fresh and blood spiritual essence and also souls. They can then draw out the power of the world’s origin and even forge the world into a special vessel for example.]
[Ao Jiu: It’s typically very hard to fend off once a planar world faces invasion. But it’s not impossible!]
[Ao Jiu: Every world is protected by the world’s laws. When a foreign living being descends, it will naturally be rejected and suppressed. Moreover, it also takes a huge effort for them to descend into a foreign world. Another thing to take note is that when descending to another world, if the person has a
cultivation level higher than what the world is able to withstand, then it will be directly destroyed by the Heavenly Curse. There are of course certain ways to hide from this but the cost is much greater.]
[Ao Jiu: A planar world is typically located deep in the boundless spatial time and trying to locate it is extremely difficult. Once a planar world is discovered and a person wants to infiltrate into the world, the coordinates of the place will be marked to allow a Great Divinity to open up an inter-world
gateway for them to descend. When a planar world is discovered yet its coordinate is not found, it will still be very difficult to reveal the real location of the world because the spatial time realm is an enigma. This also serves as a protection to the planar worlds.]
[Ao Jiu: The world that Hei Gu is in now has been found and its coordinates marked. Once the gateway is activated, countless invaders will descend into the world. Invaders typically invade with the aim of dominating the world, using the place as a temporary base for them to nurture geniuses. Very few
invaders came over just for the sake of wantonly killing living beings. Hei Gu’s invaders should be those who came from malicious factions. He was unlucky. ]
Hearing Ao Jiu’s detailed explanation, Jiang Ming’s heart shrank.
He recalled killing the three who were members of the Reincarnation Hall. Could it be that they also had invasive nature?
“The more I know, the more I feel insecure!” Jiang Ming sighed inside.
Uiang Ming: “Aren’t there any peerless experts from the higher-level world to manage these sorts of things?]
[Ao Jiu: “Well. My cultivation is still low and the level I’m at is also not high enough. I’m not sure about that!]
[Hei Gu: I’m done for! They slaughtered their way towards me!]
[Hei Gu: I plan to rip space apart and try to escape from the world!]
[Hei Gu: Damn! They’ve sealed off the surroundings by using Devilish Soldiers that exceed level 10! There’s a total of 32 of them!
(Hei Gu: I’m doomed!]
(Hei Gu: Can anyone save me?]
[Hei Gu: I don’t have any accumulated points left! Can anyone give me something for protection? I’ll return the favor in doubles! ]
(Hei Gu: L….]
[Dongfang Zhenxi: I’ve got some! Give me a second, I’ll send it over right… just wait for a bit more!]
Immediately after, Hei Gu’s avatar turned dim.
There was a sudden numbing silence in the whole chat room..
