On Chuyang Peak
“Little Ming, I’m still worried. Tell me, what can we do if the Qingyun Sect is joining forces to attack us? Can we block them? We need to prepare for the worst. Please don’t fool around. This is, after all, a matter related to our sect’s survival.” Gu Hai directly questioned Jiang Ming as soon as he got back.
“Master, don’t worry. If the Qingyun Sect dares to attack, I’ll let the Jiuyang Sect be the only Sacred Land in Eastern Region.” Jiang Ming promised in a serious manner.
“Don’t bluff. Tell me the worst scenario!” Gu Hai was not pleased with the answer. He was very concerned about the sect because the sect was, after all, his home.
“You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you. I’m the one who wiped out the Yinmo Sect, Long Yuan, and Submerged Dragon Immortal Union,” Jiang Ming said.
“Sh*t, you’re getting out of line! Can you not boast? If you’re to talk nonsense again, I’ll make sure you get punished!” Gu Hai was furious.
“Come with me. Let me show you!” Jiang Ming felt rather helpless. Thus, he rose to his feet and flew toward the mountain’s back.
Gu Hai was confused, but he followed after.
Meanwhile, he took a glance at the Combat Mannequin, which was still standing straight at the side of the abyss. That glance actually convinced him slightly, but he still felt it was too absurd.
When he came to the sealed spiritual field, he froze with his mouth wide open.
“Lit… Little… Ming, this, this is not an illusion, right?” Gu Hai stammered.
He saw supreme-grade spiritual medicine, and spiritual fruits were everywhere. Dazzling immortal lights were intervening, Dao fluctuations were congregating, the air was filled with mists formed by spiritual essence, and on earth, where rives water was flowing, was all spiritual liquid.
He even saw four little men flying around and a few tall tree demons.
Sh*t, what did he just see? A mountain of spirit crystals? No, he thought it should be some crystals beyond supreme grade. He tried sensing the bead embedded on the mountain, and the monstrous spiritual essence in it shook him to his core.
He also saw a spiritual fountain. ‘Wait… A spiritual fountain? What was it? But why did its aura make my soul tremble?”
Gu Hai was utterly amazed at what he saw.
At that moment, Jiang Ming started explaining, “Master, I’ve got a supreme immortal encounter. A supreme existence who calls himself the Immortal King of Pan Gu preached to me in my dreams and also bestowed countless benefits. The Life and Death Illusion Formation Disc and the Combat
Mannequin are all small things given to me. Just little things, Master, do you understand?”
“Tm even more confused!” Gu Hai replied with a confused look. He could not imagine that both the Combat Mannequin and the supreme-grade Formation Disk were merely little things. What’s more about the preaching in the dreams and Immortal King Pan Gu?
After a while, Gu Hai smiled slyly, “Little Ming, you aren’t being seized, are you?”
Jiang Ming knelt instantly. His Master alone was the only one on earth he was willing to do so. Let alone the grace of upbringing, he would have died if it was not because of his Master.
Gu Hai was startled for a moment before he collected himself. He began feeling excited as he helped Jiang Ming rise to his feet. Then he could not help but laugh out loud. “I never thought that I’d have such heaven-defying disciples. Linglong, who defeated all geniuses, and you who’s been hiding your
exact cultivation base to the point that I don’t even know. Tell me, what’s your current cultivation base now? And how strong are you?
“Tm afraid that I may scare you off if I tell you, Master.” Jiang Ming scratched his head.
“Don’t tell me then. I can’t really endure such a surprise! Well, now I know already.” Gu Hai immediately shook his head before he added solemnly, “You’ve been hiding well all this while. Keep hiding your real self, and do not reveal anything until it’s absolutely possible. Your boundless immortal encounter
can easily incur jealousy, and the fortune here too can easily induce conflicts. Therefore, I’ll zip my lips, not telling even your Senior Aunt Yin Yue and Sect Master. I’l just say that a peerless expert is protecting your Junior Sister.”
“Great!” Jiang Ming felt grateful for the promise of the old man.
Following that, Gu Hai left in relief while Jiang Ming returned to the balcony.
Jiang Ming saw Linglong and asked, “Why did you go away?”
“Master came back. And it’s clear what’s his main purpose. Therefore, I’m afraid that I’d get a headache with him asking this and that,” Linglong replied.
“And then leave me alone facing the headache? Girl, you’re not behaving well anymore,” Jiang Ming said.
“Senior Brother, who said I’m not behaving well? Didn’t I obey you doing whatever position you wanted?” rebutted Linglong.
“That’s Spatial Junior Sister.’
ang Ming felt rather embarrassed.
“She’s me too.” Five Elemental Linglong got herself closer and said, “Senior Brother, I want to feel and experience the wonder of the Unity of Heaven and Man too.”
Jiang Ming pursed his lips. Suddenly, he turned his head and saw a bee flying over. It was not flying at a very fast rate, but it was almost reaching the peak.
“What’s wrong, Senior Brother?” Five Elemental Linglong looked over, “It’s just a bee. Wait, if you’re paying attention to it, it must be a problematic bee.”
She gleamed with five elemental rays trickling and found the clue. “This is a bee being controlled. It seems like it can share its view with its controller, and it has probing functionality too. Who in the sect has such ability? Or is it a spy?” Thoughts raced through her mind in just a short while.
“Tl deal with it.” Jiang Ming had already targeted the controller through the karma line connected to the bee.
‘There was a peak 50 miles away. It was where many inner disciples lived. One of them was sitting cross-legged cultivating, but he was secretly controlling the spiritual bee.
“An inner disciple actually dares to probe Chuyang Peak?” Jiang Ming was very surprised.
He called up his Human Path Record.
Name: Long Qian
Race: Demon
Gender: Male
Cultivation base: Level 7 (Primal Spirit)
Background: The Chameleon Family of the Fighting Dragon Planar World (Remark: Heaven Reincarnation Hall’s beneficiary, one of the Black Tiger Clan’s members)
Relationship: -55
Innate talent: Nine Stars
Status: A Heaven Reincarnation Hall beneficiary who accepted a C-grade mission together with his teammates. Hence, they descended into this world to survey the Jiuyang Sect’s exact details.
Reached an agreement with another four members to take surveying the Jiuyang Sect as their main task, but at the same time, they shall besiege the sect and try to annihilate it to earn a superb evaluation.
‘The other teammates are creating chaos outside.
Because he’s good at disguising, he captured an inner Jiuyang Sect disciple to replace him and entered the sect. Carefully, he explored and surveyed the sect. He has basically learned about the sect structure and that there’s a Great Monarch known as Huo Daoren.
‘When he learned about a peerless genius Zi Linglong in Chuyang Peak, he knew the peak must have something. However, he never gets to find a reason to go and dares not take the risk.
‘When he learned that the First Seats had gathered earlier today, he knew he must not wait any longer. Thus, he maneuvered a spiritual bee to have a peep at Chuyang Peak.
“It’s the Heaven Reincarnation hall again…” Jiang Ming frowned.
He let his Junior Sister stay and immediately vignetted and vanished into thin air.
‘The next moment, he appeared before Long Qian. But no one saw him, including Long Qian.
Jiang Ming took out the Human Path Records, which floated in midair, showering rays of lights that also enveloped Long Qian.
He pressed on Long Qin’s forehead with a finger, probing his memory.
His memory was simple. Long Qian came from Qing Province, and a Jiuyang disciple destroyed his clan. He was the only one left. He later had an encounter where his cultivation base suddenly improved greatly. Hence, he thought of taking revenge on the Jiuyang Sect.
“Why is it so short?” Jiang Ming was bewildered.
At this moment, Long Qian abruptly opened his eyes, and a streak of blades erupted from his body, sweeping and attacking indiscriminately in all directions.
However, they were all frozen when they were only half an inch away from Long Qian himself.
Long Qian was bewildered.
‘The bee he was controlling had entered Chuyang Peak. When he was trying to maneuver it into the manor, the system notification suddenly rang out in his mind.
“Ding: Beneficiary Long Qian, your soul is under attack.”
“Ding: Beneficiary Long Qian, your memory is under probing.”
“Ding: Beneficiary Long Qian, your background memory has been covered.”
“Ding: A reminder, whoever reveals the secret of Reincarnation Space will be killed.”
Upon hearing the notifications, Long Qian was terrified. He immediately activated a treasure without any hesitation, but he was still trapped.
Jiang Ming also showed himself, but neither he nor Long Qian could be seen from the outside because he had sealed off the surroundings.
“I feel your aura does not belong to our world here. Tell me, where are you from?” Jiang Ming asked without any expression. Meanwhile, he pointed his sharp, glittering fingertips at Long Qian as though he was to kill Long Qian at the next moment.
“Senior Brother, I’m… just an inner disciple of the sect. W-Why are you doing this to me?” Long Qian revealed a look of resignation.
“know how to read your mind and know the trustability of your words. I’ll give you three chances. If you aren’t speaking the truth, I’ll kill you and disintegrate your soul. You’ve now used one of your three chances.” Jiang Ming said indifferently.
“L…” Cold sweat started oozing out of Long Qian’s forehead. Meanwhile, thoughts ran across his mind, ‘How strong is this guy when he could appear before me and probe my memory without my knowing until the system reminded me?
“all my family members were killed by Dongfang Lie. Thus, I’m here to get revenge.” As Long Qian spoke, he showed great hatred, “My father, my mother, my older brother, and younger brother, all were killed by that devilish Dongfang Lie. Tell me, is it wrong for me to take my revenge?”
“This is the second time, you’ve got the last chance.” Jiang Ming’s voice rang out.
Long Qian’s body stiffened, and he smiled slyly, “I’m a demon, and I’m here to find out the details of the Jiuyang Sect. After all, your sect is quite secretive. And that Zi Linglong may be a demon too.”
“Interesting. Tell me, how many teammates do you have?” Jiang Ming laughed. Long Qian gave a smart answer, and it was correct too.
“Four!”
“What’re their names?”
“Wang Yu, Jiang Hai, Liu Hu, and Zhang Xuan!”
“Do you think you can fool me by giving a mixture of truth and false? Tell me the names of your other four teammates.” Jiang Ming snorted.
Jiang Ming tested the four names with the Human Path Records but with no results. Therefore, he knew Long Qian was lying.
Long Qian remained silent.
‘When Jiang Ming wanted to interrogate Long Qian further, he held back forcefully because he thought he probably should find out on his own by executing the Karma Law. But to his surprise, Long Qian’s karma was limited only to the sect. No line was linked to other teammates.
“They can shield each other from karma?’ Jiang Ming frowned.
Pat!
He slapped and scattered Long Qian’s skull and captured his soul. Meanwhile, the Human Path Records released a burst of light on the soul to start the probe again.
But Long Qian’s soul expressed its extreme fear because of the system notifications.
“Ding: Beneficiary is under the attack of a supreme artifact that’s about to break apart the Reincarnation’s lock.”
“Ding: Must not reveal any secret about the Reincarnation Hall based on the Reincarnation Contract.”
“Ding: Erase the will, erase the memory.”
Long Qian’s soul abruptly dispersed.
