On the other side, with Dragin’s suppression, the cultivator’s face slowly regained his calmness.
He slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Dragin and then at the group from the Heavenly Palace. A consoled look was on his face.
He had already expected the worst. He never expected such a surprise. Dragin had not been targeting him, but the Unknown!
At the same time, he noticed that Dragin and the others clearly had traces of gray mist around them. Yet, they were different front he others.
“Y-you’ve already purified the gray mist? You’re on the path to repairing Wisdom?!”
The cultivator’s eyes shone. He was so emotional he started to tremble.
It had been so many years. He had finally seen someone do it. Someone could purify the gray mist and restore the true Wisdom.
“Little girl, I have a question. When a sliver of light appears in the darkness, is the light right or wrong?” the cultivator looked into Dragin’s eyes and said calmly.
Even though it was just a question, Dragin could see a whole different world in the cultivator’s eyes. She placed herself inside and saw that the whole world had already been contaminated by the Unknown. Those people cultivated with the gray mist and claimed that it was true Wisdom. Their cultivation levels improved leaps and bounds, claiming it was a new era.
She remained alone, not absorbing the gray mist. It was like she had been discarded by the new era.
She believed that the gray mist was wrong. However, when everyone absorbed the gray mist except for her, she ended up being the wrong one.
There was no point in her saying anything. She looked on as more and more people were contaminated…
She turned into an anomaly. She turned into a crime.
That was a chaotic era. It was the nightmare of all the cultivators whose hearts were firm. They stood up and swore to eradicate the Unknown. Even if Wisdom had to be broken, they could not allow the Unknown to bring chaos into the world.
However… In the end, even they started to wonder if what they did was right or wrong.
The cultivator looked at Dragin, waiting for her answer.
Dragin was silent for a moment. She had listened to a lot of stories ever since she was by Li Nianfan’s side. She had heard Li Nianfan talk about similar problems before, so the answer was not that difficult.
She said, “If this sliver of light never leaves the darkness, it will become a saving grace. Being in the darkness, people will naturally seek the light. The light will become…a guide.”
“A guide?
“Hahaha, you’re right!”
The cultivator laughed. There were tears in his eyes. “It was right. Everything we did was right. I finally saw the results.”
Dragin looked at him with eyes that were filled with respect.
The pressure they had faced in the beginning was something no one could imagine. If they had not been firm back then, this era would have already fallen.
In the next moment, the cultivator’s eyes shone. His calm demeanor exploded again. An immense power caused the whole battlefield to stop. Even those from the Heavenly Palace could not help but stop their fights in fright.
“Get lost!!!”
The cultivator shouted. It was like thunder that shocked the world, causing everything to shake.
The moment that was heard, a face made of gray mist escaped his body with a ferocious look on its face.
The gray mist floated in the air, merging with the mist that was everywhere. Suddenly, a massive face formed as it venomously stared at Dragin and the cultivator.
It was the origin of the gray mist in the area. It was filled with power.
Everything had been going exactly as it had been planned. Yet, at the last moment, a twist happened. Everything it did crumbled into pieces, greatly angering it.
It said in a low voice filled with killing intent, “So you’re the ones being nuisances. No wonder I feel like the gray mist is greatly weakening in the outer world. You dare purify our power?! You should die. Die!!!
“And you, do you think you can do anything to me with your power?!” the gray mist bellowed as it started to turn into countless hands, trying to attack everyone.
The whole place was filled with gray mist. It was everywhere!
“Forced Independence!” the cultivator lightly spat out. All of the attacks from the gray mist passed through everyone. It was like an illusion, unable to interact with anything.
“T-this is…”
Everyone widened their eyes as they looked at the cultivator that was standing on the ground.
His clothes were ragged and his hair was incredibly messy. His body was straight, and there was a calmness on it that would remain for thousands of years on his face. He looked like nothing special, but with just a word, he had changed everything!
That cultivator had separated the space Yang Jing and the others were in with the gray mist!
That caused the gray mist to be unable to touch those from the Heavenly Palace. It was like two space-times intersecting. They could see each other, but could not touch each other.
That level of power was something Yang Jing and the others could not understand at all. It was already more than just Laws and Wisdom. He created a world with just a word!
That was the power of a supreme being that was at the peak during the ancient times!
Even with the corrosion of countless years, he could casually do something so unbelievable.
“How powerful!”
Sky One and the others had shocked looks on their faces. They were believers of the mist, but they felt a chill in their hearts at that moment. They felt like the gray mist could not beat the cultivator.
“Nanan, let me help you get the battle spirit!”
Dragin immediately set her sights on Tian Luo. More precisely, her eyes were on the Sea Boiling Pearl in his hands.
That was one of the seven ancient battle spirits. They had to get it!
Tian Luo frowned, planning on retreating.
With the help of another cultivator, he had barely managed to get an advantage against Nanan. With Dragin in the mix, they would be hard-pressed to do anything. He had wanted to use the gray mist to eliminate the Heavenly Palace’s group, but it seemed like things had gone wayward. The gray mist seemed to be in a difficult spot, and it looked like they were going to lose.
“Have you ever heard the sounds of the tides?”
As if seeing through his thoughts, Dragin raised her hands and cast a spell. Immense amounts of power started to surge out of her small and cute body.
“Ha!”
Tides surged forth, hitting everyone around them.
It had turned into a massive ocean. Everyone was within it. They were unable to tell which direction was which, and they could not run away either.
It was a large area of control spell. It allowed the Heavenly Palace to relax.
At the same time, Nanan pulled at her bow again. The terrifying killing intent locked onto Tian Luo. The aura of life and death formed an arrow that could kill everyone!
Tian Luo’s face completely sank. He never expected that he would be forced into this state by two little girls.
The Ancient Forbidden Area might be strange, but those two brats had only been alive for a short time. Where did they find so much power?!
It was no longer something that could be explained with talent. They were absolutely cheating!
