The news that Wuma Jiuxing had mastered the saber technique and defeated Zhuo Yunong with seven strikes spread quickly throughout the Celestial Court and Infernal Court under the influence of someone who intended it to. It created a sensation all over the world.
“The Fane of Destiny has been defeated” was said by countless cultivators on the same day.
Wuma Jiuxing’s name resounded throughout the world because of the battle. He was like the top powerhouse below divinity. People looked up to him and were eager to challenge him.
The universe was very big, and there were countless powerhouses. There were still cultivators who wanted to challenge Wuma Jiuxing.
Fane of Death.
One of the most powerful female cultivators of the Deathkin, Yuan Shu, met Yuan Qianmo, who was ranked first in the Tome of the Divines.
Before Wuma Jiuxing defeated Zhuo Yunong, Yuan Qianmo was definitely the most famous Supreme Saint below divinity in Infernal Court. His cultivation was extremely profound. There was once a god who said that he could reach divinity with just a thought. Even the Divine Tribulation could not stop him.
The reason why he remained below divinity was that he wanted to accumulate more.
Only then would he be able to condense more Divine Planets after breaking through to divinity.
Yuan Qianmo was an extremely talented man. He had played the zither with Sword God Feng Chen and painted with Yu Qiu.
At this moment, he was washing the plum blossoms while listening to Yuan Shu’s narration.
He twirled his fingers and washed the plum blossoms.
Every petal of the plum blossom was washed extremely red as if it had been soaked in divine blood.
At his level of cultivation, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to take another small step forward, and closed-door cultivation was practically useless. It was because of this that he had the leisure to focus on all sorts of things that ordinary people found boring.
And this was actually also to comprehend the Path.
To seek the Great Perfection stage in the state of mind.
There were very few people and things that could interest Yuan Qianmo after reaching his current realm. The battle between Wuma Jiuxing and Zhuo Yunong finally stirred up ripples in his heart, which had been calm for a long time.
“Zhuo Yunong is not a weakling, and he even used the Supreme Artifact, the Axe of Judgement. Hmmm, it seems that Wuma Jiuxing has had a great opportunity in the past two hundred years. His Path of Saber has most likely reached divinity. Even though he hasn’t entered divinity, his Path has already entered divinity,” Yuan Qianmo said indifferently.
Yuan Shu stood under the plum blossom. Her perfect figure revealed her curvaceous outline under her golden clothes. She wore a crown on her head and had a noble temperament. She said, “As far as I know, many pseudo gods have not cultivated their Path to divinity.”
“Aside from pseudo gods, even some true gods who have just broken through to divinity will need quite a long time to cultivate their Path to divinity,” Yuan Qianmo explained. “In general, cultivators will first step into divinity and then convert their Path into the divine Path.”
“It seems that it’s not unreasonable for people to say that Wuma Jiuxing is invincible in the secular world,” said Yuan Shu.
After Yuan Qianmo finished washing the last plum blossom, he took the silk satin from the maid and wiped his wet fingers dry. He said, “There are mountains beyond the mountains and heavens beyond the heavens. Whoever dares to claim that he is invincible in the secular world will become the target of everyone.”
Yuan Shu nodded her head lightly, and a smile appeared in her phoenix eyes. She said, “Since Senior Brother has no intention to fight Wuma Jiuxing, then we will just sit back and watch the show. I believe that the Fane of Destiny will definitely take action.”
“No!” said Yuan Qianmo.
Yuan Qianmo waved his hand, his eyes solemn, he said, “I can sense that the opportunity for me to become a God has arrived. “It is precisely the time when I need to become the target of everyone. Before I make a breakthrough, I must train myself repeatedly. Wuma Jiuxing is my first furnace flame before I become a god.”
Yuan Shu looked surprised and confused.
He was training himself by refining.
Wuma Jiuxing was his furnace. If he was not careful, his furnace would be destroyed.
Was it too risky for a heavenly blessed son who was bound to become a god?
“I must go to Hoth,” said Yuan Qianmo.
Yuan Qianmo raised his head and looked at the horizon. He was deep in thought.
Why did Zhuo Yunong and Wuma Jiuxing appear on Hoth at the same time? It was very strange, and he had to go.
It was the last test before becoming a god, and it was also to solve the doubts in his heart.
…
“The person who defeated Wuma Jiuxing in the Fane of Destiny is in the Illusion Palace.”
Xu Rulai, an Overseer of the Divination Division transmitted the message to the new Scioness, Pan Ruo.
Pan Ruo walked out of the Scioness Hall and went to the Illusion Palace, one of the Fane of Destiny’s twelve palaces.
The Illusion Palace was one of the most mysterious places in the Fane of Destiny. It was not built on Mount Destiny, but in the void. One had to pass through the teleportation array in the fane to reach it.
Whoosh
Pan Ruo walked out of the teleportation array and arrived outside of the Illusion Palace. She just happened to see a sword light flying out of the towering and ancient palace in front of her.
This sword light was extremely sharp, and it cut a Celestial Captive who was at the Banshi Isshou Realm into two halves.
This Celestial Slave’s spiritual power wasn’t sealed, and he held the Supreme Artifact, Pentastone Sword in his hand. His battle prowess wasn’t something Lord Hornless could compare to.
Unfortunately, his opponent was even stronger.
BOOM!
BOOM!
The two pieces of his body fell to the ground, and it was difficult to reconnect them.
Furthermore, the flesh and blood on the wound were rapidly disappearing.
Pan Ruo glanced at the Celestial Captive who was lying on the ground and she recognized him. He was once a Supreme Saint of the Fane of Destiny. His cultivation level was at the Late-stage of the Banshi Isshou Realm. He was quite powerful.
Unfortunately, he was found to be a spy sent by the Pangu Realm to the Infernal Court. Naturally, he became a Celestial Captive and was tortured.
Who could cut him into two with a Supreme Artifact?
Could he be the Paramount Realm Supreme Saint of the Illusion Palace?
Pan Ruo quickly saw the figure of the swordsman.
That person walked out of the gate of the divine palace. He was holding the sword, Kagemaru, which was as thin as a cicada’s wings. He walked down the stairs step by step and came to the side of the Celestial Captive.
It was Que.
This was not the first time Pan Ruo had seen Que. However, the current Que was like a completely different person compared to when he was on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.
His aura was so strong that she found it hard to breathe.
The sharpness of his sword intent made it seem like he was the embodiment of the essence of Swordsmanship.
“I said that if you can take three strikes, I will spare your life. It’s a pity that you didn’t even manage to take the first strike,” said Que.
Que’s eyes were indifferent. He waved using Kagemaru and instantly, the Neverwither physique of the Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint turned into dust and flew away.
In the end, even the dust dissipated into nothingness. There was nothing left, including the Sainthood Source.
Pan Ruo activated the Nether River and circled her body to resolve the immense pressure Que gave her. She said, “Your current cultivation level doesn’t seem to be at the Early-stage of the Thousand-Koan Realm.”
The Kagemaru in Que’s hand disappeared and he picked up the Pentastone Sword on the ground, he said, “My state of mind is flawless and my heart of the Path is firm. There is nothing for me to question. The Thousand-Koan Realm is not a barrier to my cultivation. After breaking through to the Thousand-Koan Realm, I took the fifth step and reached the Middle-stage of the Thousand-Koan Realm. After taking the fifteenth step, I have reached the Late-stage of the Thousand-Koan Realm.”
After taking the fifteenth step, he broke through two realms.
Pan Ruo was amazed. No wonder the Destiny Division had predicted that the person who had defeated Wuma Jiuxing was in the Illusion Palace. Only a talented person like Que could ascend to the top of the mortal world and save the reputation of the Fane of Destiny.
In terms of the state of mind, Que had devoted himself to cultivating the Oblivion Swordsmanship. He had reached a state that no one could compare to.
A swordmaster and his sword. He didn’t need anything else.
Other so-called geniuses or God Candidate looked mediocre in front of him.
Que continued, “I thought I could reach the pinnacle of the Thousand-Koan Realm in one go, so I continued to move forward. When I reached the 99th step and was about to break through the realm, Zhang Ruochen’s figure appeared in my mind, along with two questions.”
“What are the questions?” asked Pan Ruo.
Que said, “Can I defeat a Yuanhui-level genius in the same realm? If I didn’t lose the Emperor Grade Saintwll Pill, can I condense the 10th Saintwill? These two questions are related to Zhang Ruochen.”
“So you must find Zhang Ruochen if you want to break through the realm?” asked Pan Ruo.
Que nodded deeply and said, “Zhang Ruochen is the inheritor of Saint Monk Xumi. He and I are destined to have a fight. I got this Pentastone Sword from the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. A gift to you.”
“This is a Supreme Artifact!” said Pan Ruo.
Pan Ruo was surprised. She couldn’t calm herself down and deal with the situation.
Que said, “So what if it’s a Supreme Artifact? It’ll only be an obstacle for me. It’ll be an inner demon that hinders my cultivation. Besides, Zhang Ruochen can give away a Supreme Artifact. Why can’t I?”
“You want to beat him in terms of the state of mind. In fact, his state of mind isn’t as good as yours,” said Pan Ruo.
Pan Ruo took the Pentastone Sword. Two snow-white fingers slid across the sword. Suddenly, the colorful light shone brightly. The sound of the sword shook heaven and earth. It was indeed a peerless sword.
Que shook his head and said, “I wasn’t thinking of defeating him every time. I just want to learn from my opponent, do what he did, and understand his mentality,” he said. “Only if you know your opponent well enough can you be more confident in defeating him. Zhang Ruochen is my last obstacle in breaking through to the Banshi Isshou Realm. It’s also my first challenge.”
“An unprecedented challenge? As far as I know, Zhang Ruochen hasn’t cultivated to the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. He’s far from being your opponent now,” Pan Ruo said.
“No! He’s my greatest enemy since I started cultivating. I can look down on anyone, but I won’t underestimate him. I know you’re here for Wuma Jiuxing’s matter, but you don’t know that Wuma Jiuxing is far less important to me than Zhang Ruochen.
“For other Supreme Saints, the cultivation of the Thousand-Koan Realm is to perfect the state of mind and challenge the self. But for me, I have long defeated myself. My only goal is to defeat Zhang Ruochen in the same realm.”
“What if you are well prepared, but you still can’t defeat him?” asked Pan Ruo.
“Even if I can’t defeat him, it is still an answer. What I want is an answer. I will do my best to get the answer I desired.”
Pan Ruo faintly felt that Zhang Ruochen’s greatest enemy in the Thousand-Koan Realm had appeared.
Zhuo Yunong’s defeat had indeed dealt a heavy blow to the reputation of the Fane of Destiny.
The Death Palace had initiated and took the lead. The Death Palace’s Black Robe High Priest had sent ten powerful figures, the Ten Wraithions, to Hoth to kill Wuma Jiuxing and get rid of the culprit who was about to bring chaos to the secular world.
Wuma Jiuxing might not be a threat to the deities, but he was indeed a rock that could cause a thousand ripples. All the top powerhouses below the divinity in Infernal Court were shocked as they looked at Hoth.
…
The House of Enchanteurs on Hoth was located in Hothfrost, but it was not built in Hoth City.
The House of Enchanteurs was about a thousand miles away from Hoth City. Because of its existence, more and more cultivators gathered around it. In the end, it turned into a city.
Enchanton.
Enchanton could be considered the 18th city on Hoth. It was also covered with Supreme Saint inscriptions, Divine Marks, and Path locks. However, compared to a real city, it was much smaller.
Those who could enter the city were at least in the Fish-dragon Realm.
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t go to Devala in the end. He was traveling with Guye Jing like he was her captive.
Before entering the city, Zhang Ruochen told Guye Jing, “With your current appearance and having been to too many places. Bai Qing’er is so smart, how could she not know your identity? Once you enter the city, you will definitely be noticed.”
Thus, Guye Jing changed her cyan-robed scholar robe and put on a bright red flowing fairy dress.
She was originally a woman disguised as a man. She untied the hair on her head and her black hair fell down. At the same time, her face became seductive. Her chest was full, and she was very perky. She exuded a seductive aura all the time.
Guye Jing was charming. She raised her snow-white chin and pretended to be flirtatious. She tidied Zhang Ruochen’s clothes with her two hands and smiled. She said, “Master Ruochen, is this okay?”
Blackie’s eyes were wide open. He couldn’t help but say, “Amazing.”
Even Zhang Ruochen didn’t think that she would change so much, let alone Blackie. Her every frown and smile could seduce a man to the point that he couldn’t extricate himself.
In the past, any man wouldn’t have any thoughts about her.
But now, even a male hedgehog wouldn’t be able to stand her!
Zhang Ruochen remembered that at the engagement party when she was with Luo Sha and her close friends, she looked so seductive and tender.
Zhang Ruochen sniffed the fragrance coming from her body and looked at her white and smooth face up close. He looked down and saw where he should not look. But in his heart, he told himself that he must be rational. This woman was very dangerous.
“Say something. I’m still waiting for your answer. You just keep looking at me. Are you attracted to me? And you’re saying you don’t have other intentions?” She laughed, her chest heaving.
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath and said, “Do you have two souls in your body? How can one person change so much?”
“Yes, the one you met before was my sister, Guye Jing. My name is Guye Huanhuan.” Guye Jing nodded and said seriously.
Zhang Ruochen suddenly understood and said, “I see.”
“You believe that? You are so gullible! Little Sha is so smart. How could she find such a stupid fiancé? It’s fine if you are stupid. She even treated you as a treasure. Anyway, I didn’t see anything good in you. Let’s go. What are you waiting for? Are you mad because I called you stupid?”
Guye Jing smiled sweetly at Zhang Ruochen. Then, she put her hands behind her back and smiled charmingly. She walked into Enchanton, jumping up and down.
Zhang Ruochen stared at Blackie and said, “Am I stupid?”
“No, you’re not stupid. This woman is too wicked. I almost believed her just now! Fortunately, I’m a little smarter than you, so I didn’t believe her completely,” Blackie said seriously.
