Zhou Yuanhai had a cold look on his face as he said bluntly, “What’s the progress on the matters I asked all of you to do?”
“Leader, we’ve done everything as you asked.”
“Very good.”
Zhou Yuanhai nodded with a cold smile.
He hoped that the group from the Heavenly Palace would not disappoint him. He hoped that they would be more efficient and gather more gray mist.
In truth, everything since the Divine Sword Mountain had been his plot.
The Sky Merging Sword had always been in the Heaven Plundering Alliance. He had released it and appeared as a sword servant. It had been for the sake of using Yun Chen to get close the Xiao Chengfeng and the others.
He had managed to infiltrate them and earn some of their trust.
Right after that, he revealed the internal secrets of the Wisdom Pill Pavilion. It had deepened his infiltration and established some merit for himself, making him an even more trustworthy figure.
He had already achieved the initial success! At the very least, he was already getting closer and closer to the expert!
He had even arrived at the foot of the expert’s mountain and seen many secrets!
“Being able to refine heaven and earth, fixing the flaws in Wisdom. You’ve finally appeared.”
Zhou Yuanhai narrowed his eyes. His expression quickly flashed from excitement to coldness.
He had seen the Fallen Immortal Mountain. He had found out that the expert was about to cleanse the gray mist. He was certain that the expert on the mountain was the person he had always been waiting for. It was just a pity that he could not see the expert!
He had just been a step away from going up the mountain. However, he knew that that step was not so easy to take.
If he forced his way in, he would definitely die. He could only take things step by step.
“I’ve waited for countless years. There’s no hurry. I don’t care about this insignificant amount of time,” Zhou Yuanhai mumbled to himself as he looked into the distance, staring toward Fallen Immortal Mountain’s direction.
“Leader, are we to continue our actions?”
“Of course!”
Zhou Yuanhai said, “Continue getting the Heavenly Palace to look for the gray mist. Have them gather even more and increase their efficiency.”
“But leader, can’t we use to gray mist, too?” the disciple asked, not understanding anything.
The Heavenly Plundering Alliance could be said to be the first to ever obtain the gray mist. However, with the explosion of the gray mist, the leader actually decided to stop collecting it. He was merely getting others to collect it. Was that not just strengthening the others?
Zhou Yuanhai laughed, “Hahaha, what’s the point of just having gray mist? Are my plans something someone like you can understand? Just do it!”
“Understood!”
The disciple immediately acknowledged his orders and left.
Zhou Yuanhai continued to walk deeper in. Very quickly, he arrived underground. That place was filled with gray mist. There was much more inside than even the Wisdom Pill Pavilion had. However, he was within the gray mist, but not contaminated at all.
Instead, he opened his mouth and started to train with the gray mist.
He was actually able to cleanse the gray mist as well!
…
Time flowed quickly.
A month passed by in a flash.
During that time, the people of the Heavenly Palace, such as Yang Jing, Xiao Chengfeng, Juling Shen, and Tong Tian had been hard at work, helping those who were contaminated by the gray mist in the Origins Realm. At the same time, the Divine Sword Mountain and the Yun Clan had joined them as well, collecting the gray mist.
Yang Jing and the others were filled with admiration and envy when they found out that Xiao Chengfeng had broken through to become a Wisdom Dictator after witnessing the chess match. They increased their efforts, trying to establish as many merits as possible.
The warriors that had absorbed the gray mist should have become a lot stronger and exploded in terms of their temperament. They should have brought disaster to the world, but thanks to the existence of the Heavenly Palace, they ended up acting more like street rights, all trying their best to hide themselves. They did not dare to act out, for fear of being noticed.
One day, at some mountain in the Southern Star Region, a crack appeared in the ground. Large amounts of gray mist started to come out from that crack.
“Who has been killing my seeds? I want to be born and cleanse the world completely! I am God. Praise my name, and live forever!”
An incredibly imperious voice was heard from those mountains. In a flash, the warriors and the beasts within the mountains all submitted. They walked toward where the gray mist was.
With the gray mist that was constantly being cleansed, the gray mist that had been hiding in a certain hidden realm finally exploded, trying to reappear in the world.
Slowly, many of the strong cultivators in the Southern Star Region felt tremendous power. They had thought that a hidden treasure had appeared and all of them gathered.
Another month passed.
That day, an indescribable power erupted toward the skies like a volcano.
The power was too terrifying. The Origins Realm had no limits, but at that moment, everyone felt a shudder in their hearts. That power had actually encompassed all five star regions of the Origins Realm.
“Praise my name, and live forever!
“Praise my name, and live forever!
“Praise my name, and live forever!”
…
The sound seemed low, but it resounded throughout the skies. It reverberated in everyone’s ears.
When they heard that sound, countless people were first confused. Then, they were shocked. After that, they become fanatical as they also started to chant, “Praise my name, and live forever!”
They all started to move toward the source of that power.
The cultivators that had absorbed the gray mist were even more fanatical. They no longer hid themselves, and instead, rushed toward the source of the summon.
In cities, underground, royal palaces, and every star, contaminated cultivators came out of hiding.
All of them were surrounded by gray mist. Their whole bodies were full of white hair. The seeds of gray mist had encompassed the whole Origins Realm. There was no way to kill them all!
“I can feel it. God is summoning us. Revered lord, we’re coming.”
“Hahaha, this is the true origin of Wisdom. We’ll never be defeated!”
“With God’s instruction, we won’t need to hide anymore.”
…
“Get lost!”
Xiao Chengfeng and Yang Jong shouted at the same time, dispersing that strangely alluring voice. Their expressions turned heavy at the same time.
Yang Jing had a cold look in his eyes. “It looks like we’ve cleansed too much of the gray mist. We angered the so-called ‘God’. Another calamity might be happening.”
Xiao Chengfeng let out a cold snort. “Humph, the last time, it hid itself just from a single arrow by the expert. Has it finally lost patience? This is better. There’s no reason to fight all these small battles, we can head straight for the source!”
As they said that, their powers surged as they stopped all the nearby gray mist users that had revealed themselves.
“God is summoning us. You actually dare stop us?!”
“Deviants. Prepare to suffer God’s wrath! You’ll definitely die!”
“The gray mist is true Wisdom. Join us. Submit to God and achieve eternity.”
…
The contaminated cultivators had already gone crazy. They looked at those from the Heavenly Palace without fear and even started trying to tempt them.
Yang Jing shook his head. “How scary. There’s no saving them. Kill them all!”
