Chapter 193: Killed in an Instant

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Divine Light Sect had been thrown into chaos after that one line from Zhou Donghuang. Under such circumstances, if the sect did not do anything, how could it continue to maintain its reputation on Ziyun planet? If the Divine Light Sect did not take any retaliatory action, it would definitely become the laughing stock for the other four large sects in Ziyun planet.

"This… that sounds like Zhou Donghuang!" Although two years had passed, as one of the three Golden Essence elders in the Divine Light Sect, Ci Xuan could recognize the owner of the voice that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was none other than the young man whom he had met in the black market, Zhou Donghuang.

"His strength… is he so powerful that he does not even fear the three of us?" Ci Xuan's face was serious as the thought crossed his mind. A man who had been able to defeat Tuo Ku two years ago would definitely have grown in strength since then. He would not even doubt it if one said that the man was stronger than him now.

But, stronger than just him was hardly the same as being able to take on all three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect. Even for himself, if he were in Zhou Donghuang's place, he would not last longer than three breaths. Furthermore, both he and his senior had spirit weapons. Together, their power was incomparable to that before.

Soon, Tuo Jin, the leader of the sect, came to the door as he said seriously to Ci Xuan, "Elder Ci Xuan, the visitor is not friendly… may you and senior please help us to protect the dignity of our sect!"

Tuo Jin's senior was none other than Ci Yun, Ci Xuan's senior and one of the three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect. He was the most powerful man in the sect! Ci Yun was almost 280 years old, and if he did not reach the Dharma stage within the next twenty years, he would reach the end of his life. Hence, in recent times, Ci Yun had rarely appeared before people.

But what had happened that day threatened the pride of the Divine Light Sect, hence even though the leader of the sect, Tuo Jin, was reluctant to disturb his senior, but he had no choice but to do so.

"Senior Ci Xuan, you have seen Zhou Donghuang and even spoken to him… that voice just now, was it him?" Although Tuo Ku had already guessed as much, he could not help but ask.

"Yes," answered Ci Xuan.

…

Every elder and disciple of the Divine Light Sect who was at least in the Primal Core stage had all gathered in the sky, floating in formation as they stared at a white figure in the distance.

"So this is the man who claimed to kill Tenth Elder? And even said that he was waiting for us to avenge the death of Tenth Elder?" The group of elders and disciples of the Divine Light Sect all stared at the young man in white in shock.

"Where is his arrogance coming from?"

"This young man looks at most twenty years old… he is already a mid Primal Core adept?"

"Could he be Zhou Donghuang?"

…

Just as the group of elders and disciples from Divine Light Sect were discussing fervently, a booming voice resounded and disrupted their discussion. "Distinguished Elder is here!"

The distinguished elder of Divine Light Sect, Lin Jue was one of the three Golden Essence adepts of the Divine Light Sect. Most importantly, Lin Jue was the grandfather of Lin Hantian, the tenth elder of the sect. Lin Hantian was his sole grandson; he was so important to Lin Jue that he even valued him more than himself!

"It was you who killed my grandson, Lin Hantian?" Lin Jue was an old man dressed in a long gray robe, his white hair tied up behind his back. His frame was skinny, and he looked almost like a deity there. But now, as Lin Jue confronted Zhou Donghuang, his eyes were piercing, its intensity enough to make one shiver in fright.

"Distinguished Elder." Before Zhou Donghuang could respond, two figures had already emerged from the crowd and came behind Lin Jue and greeted him respectfully. They glared at Zhou Donghuang. These were both old men who looked as old as Lin Jue. They were his disciples and the late Primal Core adepts of Divine Light Sect.

"Yes," replied Zhou Donghuang flatly.

Instantly, Lin Jue turned red with fury. His gray robe billowed despite the still air, the golden inner Yuan that surrounded his body glowing even brighter.

"Lad, since you are looking for death, I shall grant you your wish!" In that instant, Lin Jue totally disregarded Ci Xuan's warning about the possible backing that Zhou Donghuang had.

All he had in his mind was one thought: kill Zhou Donghuang and seek revenge for his grandson Lin Hantian!

If Zhou Donghuang really had some powerful backing, he would just escape from Ziyun planet after killing him. He did not believe that he would be able to find him in the whole universe!

Boom!

Just as Lin Jue's words left his mouth, a thunderous sound seemed to shake the eardrums of all the elders and disciples in the crowd that had gathered in the air. This was the sound of Lin Jue's golden inner Yuan turning into a bolt of golden lightning that streaked straight towards Zhou Donghuang.

"Senior, I will help you!"

"You will die today for killing Lin Hantian!"

As Lin Jue streaked out towards Zhou Donghuang, his two disciples also followed him, their arrogance evident.

In that moment, the crowd stared at Zhou Donghuang. As everybody watched on, it was only when Lin Jue had crossed more than half the distance and was almost at Zhou Donghuang did Zhou Donghuang finally react. On his calm and expressionless face, his mouth finally curled slowly upwards. It was a mocking smile.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

…

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhou Donghuang transformed into a line of ten shadows, leaving one at the original spot as the line of shadows trailed behind him.

Lin Jue landed right at Zhou Donghuang's shadow, meeting with nothing.

"Not good!" Lin Jue did not expect Zhou Donghuang to be so fast. After his strike had landed on nothing, his expression changed as he screamed, "Be careful!" He turned around hurriedly to rescue his two disciples.

But just as he turned, he saw Zhou Donghuang and his shadows streak past the two disciples. As he passed them, the heads of the two disciples rose to the skies. Zhou Donghuang had simply beheaded the two of them as he rushed past them at an unimaginable speed!

The heads of Lin Jue's two disciples still had an expression of anger. They clearly did not have the time to react before they had been killed by Zhou Donghuang.

…

Seeing the young man in white easily kill the two late Primal Core elders of the Divine Light Sect, the crowd of elders and disciples of the Divine Light Sect all sucked in a deep breath. Their eyes were filled with utter astonishment.

This man who looked at most twenty years of age had so much power?

This power must be equivalent to that of an ultimate Primal Core adept?

"Father… isn't Brother Donghuang simply too powerful?" On the back of the golden-crowned eagle, Little Gold, Chen Yong looked at the young man in white as if he was a god, his eyes filled with admiration.

He recognized the two old men. They were the fourth and ninth elder of the Divine Light Sect, who were both late Primal Core adepts. The power of the fourth elder was even stronger than his grandfather, the sixth elder of the sect, Tuo Ku!

"Yong'er, Brother Donghuang is now the enemy of our Divine Light Sect… if you want to call him Brother Donghuang, you had better keep your volume down, otherwise if someone hears it, they will produce a whole article on it," said Chen Yan softly to his son. He was afraid that his son's words would cause unhappiness in some others.

"Didn't you go to the capital? Why are you back?" Just then, an old monk in a silver robe with a stocky build and ferocious brows landed on the back of Little Gold. Just as Little Gold noticed this stranger on its back and was about to angrily chase him away, Chen Yong and Chen Yan greeted the newcomer.

"Grandpa."

"Father."

Hearing this, Little Gold then suppressed its anger. This whole journey, it had had a good impression of the father and son of the Chen family, so now he decided to show them some face.

"Mm." The newcomer was none other than Tuo Ku, the sixth elder of the Divine Light Sect. He stared seriously at the young man in white who kept morphing his shape. Lin Jue could not touch him at all. "This Zhou Donghuang is even more powerful than Distinguished Elder… he is simply playing with him!"

Realizing that both his disciples had been slaughtered by Zhou Donghuang, Lin Jue was furious. He struck out at Zhou Donghuang again. But Zhou Donghuang's movements were so ridiculously fast that Lin Jue, who was a Golden Essence adept, could not even get close to him.

In that moment, Zhou Donghuang emanated an inner Yuan that was no longer a milky white color, but a brilliant silver color.

"How did he do that? Isn't he a mid Primal Core adept?" Not only had Chen Yan noticed the change in Zhou Donghuang's inner Yuan, but all the other elders and disciples in the crowd had also noticed the change.

At the start, as he had stood there without any movement, the glow that surrounded Zhou Donghuang was clearly a milky white, the hallmark of a mid Primal Core adept. But now, as he evaded the attacks from Lin Jue and when he killed the two disciples earlier, his inner Yuan was a silver color. Now, the inner Yuan that surrounded him was so intense that it seemed like he was immersed in a great silver flame.

"Only the inner Yuan of a late Primal Core adept can be so thick!"

"No wonder fourth elder and eighth elder were killed in an instant by him… this inner Yuan is more than twice as intense as that of any ordinary Silver Essence adept."

…

The crowd of Divine Light elders and disciples stared at Zhou Donghuang with amazement. He had truly toppled all that they had known about Silver Essence adepts.

Chapter 194: Challenging Three Golden Essence Elders

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Is that all you can do? Run?" Lin Jue was getting frustrated as he simply could not keep up with Zhou Donghuang's speed. Of course, he was well aware that based on his speed, if he chose to directly fight him, he was most likely not Zhou Donghuang's rival.

Speed was also dependent on inner Yuan. The fact that his opponent was faster than him signified that his inner Yuan was also stronger than his.

"Run?" Hearing Lin Jue's words, Zhou Donghuang stopped immediately. Faced with the ferocious onslaught from Lin Jue, he stood stationary as he easily fended off the attacks. He looked calm as if he was not exerting at all. Despite the repeated attacks from Lin Jue, all his efforts were easily defeated by Zhou Donghuang.

Lin Jue was so furious that he almost vomited blood. This little monster, where had he come from? Although he was just a Silver Essence adept, his inner Yuan was so strong that it was even so much stronger than his as a Golden Essence adept?

"If I did not see it with my own eyes, who would have believed that… a Golden Essence adept would be unable to defeat a Silver Essence adept." The crowd of disciples of Divine Light Sect could not help but mutter.

"This young man, where did he come out from? Do they exist in Ziyun planet?" Many people were shocked by Zhou Donghuang's strength.

"From the start, he has just been defending and running, he has not taken any action against Distinguished Elder at all… what does he mean? Does he look down on him?"

"If you did not mention it, I would not have noticed that he really has not taken any initiative against Distinguished Elder."

…

Soon, many people noticed that Zhou Donghuang had not attacked at all.

"Father, Brother Donghuang… why isn't he attacking?" Chen Yong could not help but ask Chen Yan.

Before Chen Yan could reply, Tuo Ku had already turned to Chen Yong in shock. "Yong'er, you… call this Zhou Donghuang 'Brother'? You know him?" Tuo Ku was stunned that his grandson knew Zhou Donghuang?

"Father, we only just met Brother Donghuang," replied Chen Yan awkwardly with a smile. "In fact… I was the one who brought him here. Father, I have not introduced you… this is Brother Donghuang's sister, Miss Yun Lu. As for this flying beast, this is Little Gold, this is Brother Donghuang's…"

Just as Chen Yan introduced Yun Lu to Tuo Ku and was about to introduce the golden-crowned eagle Little Gold, he realized that he had no idea how to introduce it.

"Brother! I am Young Master's brother!" Little Gold finished for him.

Tuo Ku felt like he was becoming faint. Zhou Donghuang had been brought to the Divine Light Sect by his son? Wasn't that like inviting a wolf into the house?

Furthermore, Zhou Donghuang had only just met him and he had already left his sister with him, wasn't he afraid that the Divine Light Sect would take his sister hostage? Thinking of this, Tuo Ku looked at the figure in white in the distance and thought to himself, "Perhaps… he is simply not worried that we would dare to take his sister hostage."

Just as Lin Jue could not seem to break through the defenses of Zhou Donghuang, his expression darkened and a scream rang through the distance.

"Zhou Donghuang!!" A loud voice rang through the crowd, and soon the sound of three figures rushing through the air was heard by the crowd from the Divine Light Sect. As the crowd turned to look, they saw two old monks in golden robes standing shoulder to shoulder with the Divine Light Sect leader, Tuo Jin, standing behind them.

"The Right Shield!"

"The Right Shield is here!"

"Beside the Right Shield… could that be the Left Shield?"

"My goodness! The Left Shield… he hasn't appeared before anyone in many years, right?"

…

The new arrivals were none other than the leader of the Divine Light Sect, Tuo Jin, the Right Shield, Ci Xuan, and the Left Shield of the Divine Light Sect, Ci Yun.

Ci Yun looked even paler than Ci Xuan. His body was frail and thin, but his eyes were kind. He looked like an ordinary old monk who had one foot already in the grave. Despite that, the faint golden glow that surrounded him revealed the truth that he was a formidable Golden Essence adept.

Amidst the cheers of respect from the crowd that had gathered, Ci Xuan, Ci Yun and Tuo Jin finally arrived at the scene where Zhou Donghuang and Lin Jue were dueling.

By this time, Lin Jue had already taken the opportunity to back away as he came alongside the three of them and greeted Ci Yun and Ci Xuan. As for Tuo Jin, even though he was the sect leader, Lin Jue only slightly nodded his head at him.

On the other hand, Tuo Jin greeted Lin Jue respectfully with a bow.

The man who had called Zhou Donghuang just now was none other than Ci Xuan. "Zhou Donghuang, I never thought… in two years, you would have such power."

What a joke! An ordinary Golden Essence adept would not be able to play around with Lin Jue like that.

"Since you are all here… all of you can come at me together." Zhou Donghuang ignored Ci Xuan as his eyes landed on Lin Jue, then Ci Xuan and Ci Yun as he spoke calmly.

Challenging all three Golden Essence adepts at once! As his words rang out, everyone turned dead silent. Not a single person had thought that Zhou Donghuang would say something like that. Challenging all three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect at one go?

Soon, the crowd broke into chaos.

"Crazy! He's crazy!"

"He really thinks just because he can take on one Distinguished Elder, he will be able to challenge all three Golden Essence elders of our Divine Light Sect in one go?"

"Even Ci Xuan is stronger than Distinguished Elder, and Ci Yun is even stronger than Ci Xuan. In fact, Ci Yun is said to be almost at the Dharma stage!"

…

Not only were the elders and disciples of the Divine Light Sect shocked by Zhou Donghuang, but even the father and son duo of Tuo Ku and Chen Yan were shocked too.

Was Zhou Donghuang insane?

Although he could easily handle Distinguished Elder, but the Left Shield of the Divine Light Sect, Ci Yun, could do the same! In fact, that was referring to the Ci Yun of the past. Now, he was definitely stronger than before. After all, Ci Yun had been so determined to attain the Dharma stage that he had been practicing without any distractions for the past few decades, and his level of skill was surely nothing that Lin Jue could compare to.

"If only I can be like Brother Donghuang in the future… how cool would that be?" Chen Yong's eyes were fixed on the figure in white as if he was a die-hard fan looking at his idol.

"In your dreams!" Yun Lu laughed. "Brother is the one and only of his kind, nobody can be like him!"

Chen Yan said to Little Gold, "Little Gold, Brother Donghuang might be too cocky… our Divine Light Shield, Ci Yun, is not any weaker than he is. Do you think we should advise him?"

"Just three old fellas who are almost in their graves, how can they be any match for my Young Master?" Little Gold replied arrogantly. He was firm in his belief in his young master.

Chen Yan had nothing to say to that. It seemed that not only the lass Yun Lu, but even this flying beast had been completely brainwashed by Brother Donghuang.

At the same time, hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, Lin Jue's expression darkened. Ci Yun was furious as the anger was clear in his face, while a glint of coldness also flashed in the depths of Ci Yun's kind eyes.

"Such arrogance from you, young lad." Ci Yun flew out and stood face to face with Zhou Donghuang. "But, since you requested it… let us grant you your wish. Only then will you understand that there is always someone stronger than you!"

In that instant that the words left Ci Yun's mouth, Ci Xuan and Lin Jue flew out together and stood on both sides of Ci Yun.

"I give you the time of three breaths to produce your strongest blow," Zhou Donghuang ignored Ci Xuan as he said flatly.

"What arrogance!" Now, despite Ci Yun's good temper, he had been angered too. The golden glow about him expanded, and the faintly glittering golden inner Yuan now became a golden fiery glow. Ci Xuan and Lin Jue had also been so agitated that their inner Yuan radiated strongly from them.

At the same time, Ci Yun produced a four-inch-long dagger, while Ci Xuan produced an Exquisite Hill in his hands. As for Lin Jue, he did not have any weapons. For Primal Core adepts, besides spirit weapons, other weapons were all burdens and were not useful.

"The three elders are furious."

"How can they not be? This Zhou Donghuang is so arrogant!"

"I just hope that his arrogance is founded… otherwise, he is most probably going to die here today."

…

The crowd of elders and disciples of the Divine Light Sect were mostly of the opinion that Zhou Donghuang was no match for the three Golden Essence elders combined. In the Ziyun planet, the three elders together could defeat anybody if they combined forces!

"Now!"

On Ci Yun's command, not just his body moved, but the inner Yuan of the dagger in his hands also expanded and became a shimmering blade that flew towards Zhou Donghuang. Ci Xuan and Lin Jue followed closely behind.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

…

Ci Yun and the knives flew out towards Zhou Donghuang.

Boom! Boom!!

…

Ci Xuan acted as the Exquisite Hill in his hands floated in the air above Zhou Donghuang, falling down towards him with the weight of a thousand tons.

Lin Jue's inner Yuan crystallized into a sword that sliced through the air, straight towards Zhou Donghuang's eyes as if it was about to kill him with one strike.

The three big Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect acted together. Both Ci Yun and Ci Xuan used their spirit weapons. Although Lin Jue did not use a spirit weapon, his power was still enhanced when he combined forces with Ci Yun and Ci Xuan.

Time seemed to stop in that instant.

Everyone watched on, transfixed by the sight even if some of them were not able to catch the swiftness of the movements. Those who were able to perceive the movements analyzed the situation, while those who were not able to see the quick movements were simply there to watch the commotion.

"The three elders attacking together… if he is able to block that… in Ziyun planet, as long as there are no Dharma adepts, he will be the most powerful person on the planet!" Although the thought seemed incredible, Chen Yan could not help but imagine.

If anyone else from the sect had known what was going through Chen Yan's mind, he would have been reprimanded by all of them.

You, Chen Yan, are the twelfth elder of the sect, is that right?

You, as the father of Chen Yan, are the sixth elder of the sect, is that right?

And you, the son of Chen Yan, who is also part of the sect, is to the right of you?

Chapter 195: Frightening Silver Essence Adept

As everybody watched on, faced with the ferocious onslaught from the three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect, Zhou Donghuang suddenly produced a fan in his hands. This was a spirit weapon that he had just taken out of his space ring. In fact, this was an ultimate spirit weapon, the most powerful spirit weapon among all Primal Core spirit weapons.

Whoosh!

Zhou Donghuang raised his hands as he opened the fan in his hands. His actions seemed slow and unhurried as the elders and disciples of the Divine Light Sect watched on, speechless.

This fella was going to use just this against the combined forces of the three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect? Now, to everyone who could see, it was clear that the three Golden Essence elders of the sect were leaving no room for mercy. After all, their Distinguished Elder had just been played with by this man.

Faced with a character like this, if they showed him any mercy, the opponent might gain an opportunity and it may even prove fatal for them!

But in the next instant, their eyes all widened in shock. They watched as the fan in Zhou Donghuang's hands unfolded, and as he fanned, waves of silver inner Yuan emerged from the fan. This silver Yuan was so thick that it was like a silver sea, bringing up massive waves that rushed towards the three of them. Most importantly, the silver Yuan not only looked massive, but the energy that radiated from it was so concentrated that it did not seem like the inner Yuan was being diffused at all.

A typical Silver Essence adept would only be able to dissipate the inner Yuan to such an extent. But after dissipating the inner Yuan to such a stage, even an early Primal Core adept would be protected from any blow when covered within this inner Yuan. But, the concentrated silver Yuan that was coming out in waves from the fan in Zhou Donghuang's hands was so dense that it was as strong as the concentrated inner Yuan of a Silver Essence adept.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!!

…

The silver Yuan that seemed to block out the skies rolled towards them menacingly, like an army of a thousand troops and horses rushing towards them, aggressive in its onslaught.

On the other side, three bolts of golden Yuan, seeming like bolts of light, were taken aback.

"Three Golden Essence adepts?" As the silver Yuan rolled out in massive waves towards the three elders of the Divine Light Sect, Zhou Donghuang's mouth raised slightly, the ends curling into a slight smile.

As everybody watched on, the three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect finally came up to the wave of silver Yuan that was gushing towards them. Before they had neared it, they had appeared fine. However, once they approached the massive waves, their expressions changed entirely.

"How can he produce so much inner Yuan?"

"Inner Yuan as dense and concentrated as this is almost equivalent to that of at least six Silver Essence adepts combined!?"

…

Faced with six Silver Essence adepts, the three Golden Essence adepts of the Divine Light Sect were naturally not afraid as they could easily defeat them individually. However, if a single person had the power of six Silver Essence adepts combined in their inner Yuan, the power that this one person could release was far beyond that of the six Silver Essence adepts together. In fact, even if sixteen Silver Essence adepts combined forced, they would not be as strong as this one man.

In the next instant, the disciple and elders of the Divine Light Sect who had gathered around witnessed something that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

Although the three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect were bursting with golden Yuan, the gold brilliance shining brightly, but faced with the great wave of silver Yuan, the lights seemed especially minuscule.

"Grain of light comparing itself with the brilliance of the moon?" Zhou Donghuang's words rang in every person's ear as the massive wave of silver Yuan, which covered the skies and earth, met with the three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect.

His voice was not loud, but it was enough to shock everyone.

Boom!!

Ci Yun, the Left Shield of the Divine Light Sect, holding the dagger spirit weapon in his hands, was leading the attack. But, faced with the tsunami of silver Yuan that rushed towards him, he was simply thrown away with just a light hit.

It was just like a small soldier being kicked away by a knight on a horse, simply thrashed.

"O…" Fresh blood gushed out of Ci Yun's mouth as he flew backwards. The crimson blood caught every one's eye, shocking one and all.

Boom!!

Next, the Right Shield of the Divine Light Sect, Ci Xuan, met with a similar outcome as Ci Yun. Not only was the spirit weapon in his hands thrown out, but his body was also flung backwards.

"Wa…" Blood spewed in the air, dropping down like the petals of a bright red rose.

"Hmph!" Just as the crowd thought that their Distinguished Elder would end up just like the right and Left Shields, a loud grunt rang across the skies.

In the next instant, everyone saw the young man in white shake the fan in his hands that was wide open.

Immediately, the huge tsunami of silver Yuan appeared to extend and folded in on itself before splitting into two pieces. One piece rolled behind Lin Jue, as the silver tsunami attacked the Distinguished Elder of the Divine Light Sect from both sides.

"No…" Lin Jue's wispy breath rang in the air, his voice filled with despair. And this was the last sound that Lin Jue made in this world.

Boom!

Boom!!

…

The two halves of the silver inner Yuan crashed into each other, with Lin Jue's body between them. His body was squeezed and crushed into a bloody fog. The only thing that remained was his spirit stone that slowly floated in the air as his body disappeared into thin air.

The material used to forge the space ring was a special mineral that was extremely unique. Inner Yuan could not destroy it and could hardly even change its shape. But the fire crystallized from inner Yuan was able to melt and forge it into various shapes. Even then, it was almost impossible to destroy it.

On July 22, 1233 of the Ziyun era, in the skies above the Divine Light peak of the Divine Light Sect, Zhou Donghuang defeated two Golden Essence elders with a single blow and killed the Distinguished Elder Lin Jue!

After the battle, the whole place was silent.

Chen Yan, the twelfth elder of the Divine Light Sect who had brought Zhou Donghuang here, swallowed nervously. His eyes were opened so wide that his eyeballs almost looked like they were about to pop out.

He had initially thought that his idea just now had been absurd, thinking that if the young man managed to withstand the combined attack of the three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect, he would be at the top of the food chain in Ziyun planet.

It was only now that he realized that he had underestimated the young man. With just a simple flick of his hand, the fan in his hands had been enough to defeat the two Golden Essence shields of the Divine Light Sect. With another flick, the Distinguished Elder of the sect had been destroyed… absolutely destroyed! As if it was something as simple as stepping on an ant!

It was no accident. After everyone in the crowd had regained their senses, including the leader of the Divine Light Sect, Tuo Jin, they would not help but draw in another deep breath.

The crowd looked once again at the young man dressed in white. In their eyes, there was nothing but fear.

"What kind of sorcery is this? A Late Primal Core and already so powerful?"

"Not even at the Golden Essence stage and already so powerful… once he attains the Golden Essence stage, even a Dharma adept may not be his match!"

"In Ziyun planet, as long as there is no adept of the Dharma stage, he will always be the star fighter on the planet, powerful enough to defeat anyone!"

…

The scene that had just unfolded in front of their eyes was unforgettable for all the Primal Core adepts of the Divine Light Sect who had gathered to watch it.

"Is there anyone… who still wants to avenge Lin Hantian?" Zhou Donghuang floated in mid-air, his hand slowly flapping the fan beside his body. He glanced at the Divine Light Sect present and said, "Of course, if anyone wishes to take revenge for the three persons whom I had just killed, you can also step forward and try to avenge their deaths."

Faced with this challenge, the crowd was silent. In fact, some of them silently scolded Zhou Donghuang for asking a rhetorical question. You even managed to defeat the combined forces of our three Golden Essence adepts, who else would dare to anger you?

"Brother." Yun Lu's eyes were shining. Although she had been confident in her brother, she did not think that her brother would be able to defeat the three Golden Essence adepts so easily and swiftly.

"Young Master… is already so strong?" The golden-crowned eagle Little Gold swallowed its saliva. From its understanding of its young master, his young master would definitely not do anything that he was not confident of, so it had been sure that he would be able to deal with the three Golden Essence adepts of the Divine Light Sect. However, dealing with them was one thing, but defeating them so easily was another. It did not think that its young master would be so frighteningly powerful.

Little Gold could see that just now, if its young master had not had mercy, not only would the Distinguished Elder be dead, even the two shields of the Divine Light Sect would definitely have been slaughtered by Zhou Donghuang!

"Thank you sir for having mercy." The Left Shield of the Divine Light Sect, Ci Yun, caught his breath slowly. Although he had lived for almost three hundred years, when he looked at the young man again, he could not help but feel some kind of fear. He hurriedly bowed and thanked the young man profusely.

At the same time, the corners of his mouth slowly formed a bitter smile. He, Ci Yun, had been the genius disciple of the Divine Light Sect since he was a child. After training for nearly three hundred years, he ended up being defeated by a young man who was just slightly more than twenty years of age.

Someone like him, trying to attain the Dharma stage? Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!!

In that instant, a minute tear appeared in Ci Yun's steely heart, and he no longer had the possibility of attaining Dharma.

"Thank you for your mercy." After Ci Xuan regained his senses, he bowed in thanks to the young man too. He had thought that he had overestimated the young man. However, he would never have thought that not only had he not overestimated him, but the young man was far more frightening than what he had formerly imagined.

"Besides the elders, the rest of you may leave now." At the same time, the leader of the Divine Light Sect, Tuo Jin, ordered firmly and loudly. With this, the crowd of early Primal Core disciples slowly left. As they left, they all heaved a sigh of relief. That frightening figure, if they could avoid it, it would be best not to meet him.

Although the man had killed their Distinguished Elder, Lin Jue, but from the fact that he had spared the two shields of the Divine Light Sect, it was clear that he had no malicious intent, otherwise he would not have had mercy on them. If he had wanted to destroy their sect, he would not have to spare any mercy. Hence, they were all well aware that they were not in any form of danger as long as they did not actively provoke the young man.

"Sir, you came to our Divine Light Sect… surely it is not just to see who wishes to avenge Lin Hantian's death?" Being the leader of the Divine Light Sect, Tuo Jin asked Zhou Donghuang respectfully after the rest of the disciples had left.

Chapter 196: Traversing the Galaxies

As the leader of the Divine Light Sect, Tuo Jin's mental capacity far surpassed that of any ordinary person. If the young man in front of him had wanted to eliminate the person who had wanted to avenge Lin Hantian, he would have also killed Lin Jue after killing his two disciples.

Why spend so long toying with Lin Jue? With his power, it was easy to just kill Lin Jue. But, he had waited until the other two Golden Essence elders of the sect had appeared before he had made a move. Furthermore, he had challenged the three of them at once… and in the end, he had only killed Lin Jue.

What did this mean?

It signified that the man wanted to demonstrate his power in front of all of them. By challenging the three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect, it was simply for him to shock the whole sect. The man was definitely not here just regarding the death of Lin Hantian.

"Sir, you have come to our Divine Light Sect… surely it is not just to find out who wishes to avenge Lin Hantian?" Hearing their own sect leader ask Zhou Donghuang this, the highest ranking persons in the sect, including the Left and Right Shield of the sect, all turned to look at Zhou Donghuang.

"Mm." Zhou Donghuang nodded as he replied, "Seeing who wants to avenge Lin Hantian was just a whimsical idea of mine. I am here today to discuss something with the Divine Light Sect." Zhou Donghuang went straight to the point.

"May I ask what it is regarding?" Seeing the power of the young man before him, Tuo Jin, the leader of the Divine Light Sect, did not dare to put up a front. He even brought himself down and asked respectfully.

"Your Divine Light Sect shall move out of this area around the spirit stone quarry… I want this place," answered Zhou Donghuang flatly.

The Divine Light peak on which the sect was built was the biggest quarry of spirit stones in the whole Ziyun planet. It was because of that that the forefather of the sect had opened a path through the mountains and founded the sect here.

Zhou Donghuang had come to get the Divine Light peak from the sect. Before leaving the planet, he wanted to find a good place for his family to stay. The Divine Light peak was clearly the best spot on the planet.

After Zhou Donghuang spoke, the whole place was quiet.

In a moment, Tuo Jin regained his senses as he stared at Zhou Donghuang in shock, his voice trembling as he asked, "Sir… you… you must be kidding?"

"I, Zhou Donghuang, do not have the time to joke with you," responded Zhou Donghuang. In that instant, his eyes turned fierce, showing his seriousness.

In that moment, the faces of all the highest-ranking persons of the Divine Light Sect turned dark, including the sect leader Tuo Jin, the sixth elder, Tuo Kong, and the twelfth elder, Chen Yan.

The young man in front of them had really asked the whole sect to leave their Divine Light peak and hand over the base of their sect, on which they had been founded a thousand years ago, to him?

…

Luohe galaxy, Tianxuan planet.

"Granny, Father, you don't have to take me any further." In the skies above the Luo family household, a young girl in a long dress with beautiful features stood beside a woman in a long black robe, whose expression was stone-cold. She spoke to an old woman and a man in front of her.

The old woman was dressed in a billowing green robe, her figure shriveled. She looked at the young girl, her eyes filled with unwillingness. Her mouth trembled as if she was about to say something, but finally, she did not say a word.

"Qinghan, be careful out there, don't be too careless." The old man was in a flowing silver robe, his features upright and clear. He looked handsome and had a royal air. This was none other than the chief of the Luo family, Luo Wuchen.

"Granny, Father, once I enter the sect and familiarize myself with the environment, I will find time to come back," said Luo Qinghan as she nodded to the old woman and the man. She then turned to the woman beside her as she said, "Senior, we can leave now."

"Mm." The woman nodded, then brought Luo Qinghan and the other people behind her as they flew away from the Luo family household.

Luo Qinghan did not dare to turn back. She was afraid that if she saw her granny, she would regret her decision and back out. But she was well aware that if she continued to stay on Tianxuan planet, her progress would be limited.

A year ago, a group of people who claimed to be from faraway Hengliu galaxy had descended upon Tianxuan planet. They had claimed to be recruiting disciples for the premier sects in Hengliu galaxy.

They had just one condition: an ultimate Primal Core adept who was less than thirty years old, or a late Primal Core adept who was less than twenty-five years old.

Of course, this was purely on a voluntary basis.

As long as anyone fulfilled the condition, they could register and before leaving, someone would arrive at the door to personally fetch them from Tianxuan planet, leaving Luohe galaxy for Hengliu galaxy.

"Tianxuan planet is too small, and Luohe galaxy is also too small." Tianxuan planet had not had a Primordial Soul adept in more than a thousand years, despite the fact that Tianxuan planet was among the most resource-rich planets in Luohe galaxy.

If one did not leave the galaxy, no matter how talented, one would find it difficult to enter the Primordial Soul stage. Although Luohe galaxy had a Primordial Soul adept currently, it was still extremely rare.

But in Hengliu galaxy, any ordinary Primordial Soul adept was as common as a dog, while stronger Primordial Soul adepts were rather common too. Even early Primordial Soul adepts were plentiful. In the sects of Hengliu galaxy, an ordinary Primordial Soul adept could not even become an elder. But in Luohe galaxy, any ordinary Primordial Soul adept was regarded so highly that they were considered supreme in the whole galaxy.

Hence, Luo Qinghan had taken this opportunity to leave Luohe galaxy while she was still young. The woman who had fetched her was just one among the group that had arrived from Hengliu galaxy. Some other adepts had recruited many others from the planet.

"Yuan Zheng!" As the woman led Luo Qinghan to meet with the others who had been recruited from the planet, Luo Qinghan saw a familiar figure.

It was none other than Yuan Zheng, the youth sect leader of the Yunzhou Sect.

Back then, her close friend had drugged her and tried to sell her to Yuan Zheng. If she had not managed to escape then, her whole life would have been ruined! So, now, seeing Yuan Zheng, Luo Qinghan's expression turned cold. A murderous glint flashed deep within the recesses of her eyes.

At the same time, Yuan Zheng also noticed her. His eyes lit up as he came towards her, saying, "Miss Luo, you are also going to Hengliu galaxy?"

Luo Qinghan did not pay him any attention. Although she was confident that she was no weaker than Yuan Zheng was, but it was extremely difficult for her to kill him right then. Furthermore, even if she had the ability to kill him, she would not be able to do anything right then. If she had made a move, it would have been taken as a form of disrespect by those from Hengliu galaxy, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

All she could do was to ignore Yuan Zheng for now. Eventually, once she grew strong enough and surpassed his level of skill, it would not be too late to take her revenge then.

"Miss Luo, I hear that there are many premier sects in Hengliu galaxy… why don't we enter the same one? Then, the two of us from the same hometown can look after each other and improve together." Seeing Luo Qinghan ignore him, Yuan Zhen was not only not infuriated, but seemed to take it as normal, as he smiled and spoke.

"Scram!" Luo Qinghan glared at him as she muttered lowly. Her voice was sharp enough that it attracted the attention of many others around her.

No matter how thick-skinned Yuan Zheng was, when he was faced with the stares of the group of people, his expression faltered slightly. As he looked at Luo Qinghan, there was a murderous glint in his eyes that made Luo Qinghan feel as if she had caught the eyes of a poisonous snake.

"Since Miss Luo does not wish to be disturbed, I will not disturb you." On the surface, Yuan Zheng was smiling gleefully, as if he was entirely unaffected. Of course, this was nothing more than a facade. Inside, Yuan Zheng was furious as he muttered quietly, "Luo Qinghan, you had better pray you do not end up in my hands… otherwise, I will rape and kill you!"

"Let's go." Soon, after the group had gathered, they had made their way towards the galaxy teleporter and planned to teleport away from Tianxuan planet towards one of the transit planets along the way to Hengliu galaxy.

"We'll be leaving Tianxuan planet soon." On the way to the galaxy teleporter, Luo Qinghan could not help but feel a tinge of unwillingness, as if she could not bear to leave. After growing up for so long, this was the first time that she had left Tianxuan planet and traveled out of Luohe galaxy.

As for the time where she had been mistakenly sent by the teleporter to Ziyun planet, that was nothing more than an accident and could not be considered a long journey to her.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the depths of Luo Qinghan's memory. A young man in white, his features sharp and handsome, his aura extraordinary. This man had appeared many times in her dreams and had once again appeared without warning in her memory.

"Based on his age and level then, he would be bound for nothing much on Ziyun planet… now, he probably has already married and started a family, leaving a simple but happy life?" said Luo Qinghan to herself. Although she did not understand why but whenever she thought of that, there was always some kind of despair that emerged strongly within her, as if she had lost something especially important to her.

She took in a deep breath to shift her attention. "Who knows… what kind of sect I will enter in Hengliu galaxy?" There were many resource-rich planets in the galaxy and many sects that she could possibly enter. The recruiters had come from an alliance that had been hastily assembled by the many premier sects of Hengliu galaxy.

The alliance had been distributed across many different galaxies that were not as resource-rich as Hengliu galaxy, and they intended to recruit people who were interested in joining the premier sects of Hengliu galaxy and bring them back. Then, after bringing together the hundreds and thousands of adepts from across the galaxies, the premier sects would then evaluate them together.

Chapter 197: Xuanyan City

The grand Ziyun banquet was a traditional banquet that had been passed down for over seven hundred years. It was a banquet hosted by the five main sects of the Ziyun planet, for all who lived on Ziyun planet.

This grand banquet was hosted once every two decades, and the five main sects took turns organizing it. Every century was one cycle, which meant that each sect would have to organize a grand banquet once every hundred years.

This year, 1233 of the Ziyun era, it was the Xuanyin Sect's turn to organize the grand banquet. For the occasion, the four other sects would send some of their disciples along with the high ranking elders to attend the banquet.

The grand banquet was hosted on October 10 to symbolize the idea of perfection of 10/10.

The five main sects, including the Xuanyin Sect, had already decided on the grounds seven hundred years ago, each having a plot of land beside their base dedicated to hosting the event. Nonetheless, preparations had to begin more than a year before. Otherwise, they would never be prepared in time.

Since the end of last year, the Xuanyin Sect leader had already ordered preparations to begin to decorate the site of the event. Hence, a group of elders and disciples of the Xuanyin Sect had already been busy since last year. The grounds that the Xuanyin Sect was using to host the grand banquet was within a vast city, a huge plot of land set aside for the grand banquet for all five main sects.

Within the city, there was a ring of buildings. These buildings were all guest inns under the Xuanyin Sect.

From the guest inns to the center of the city where the banquet was hosted, there was a huge stretch of market. In the ten days before the grand banquet, the city would be open to all. All those who had come to the city for the banquet would be able to exchange for goods they wanted in this market.

The city that was used to host the grand Ziyun banquet was named "Xuanyan City." The first word, "xuan" came from the title of the Xuanyin Sect, while the second word, "yan," was the shortened form of the term for banquet.

"Xuanyan City will be opening its doors in an hour's time!" On September 30, 1233 of the Ziyun era, early at dawn, the sun slowly rose in the sky, and a huge group of people had gathered outside the four big doors between the Xuanyin Sect base and Xuanyan City.

Besides the people outside the four city doors, there were also many people dotting the skies above the city walls. Most of the people were perched on the backs of flying beasts, either sitting or standing. Others were Primal Core adepts who simply floated in the air.

But before Xuanyan City was officially open, not a single person dared to barge into the city from the air, even the group of Primal Core adepts. This was because there were many mid Primal Core adepts who were floating in the air above the city, who were the elders and disciples of the Xuanyin Sect who had been sent to ensure order and discipline. With these people ensuring security, no one dared to do anything.

"Old Li, you are here too? If you had said so earlier, I would have come with you… The journey here from the Qianqiu Empire was so boring." In the skies above the exterior of Xuanyan City, an old man radiating a faint white mist was talking to another old man floating a distance away.

"You didn't ask me either," replied the other old man as he shook his head.

The two old men were both from the Qianqiu Empire and were old friends who were both early Primal Core adepts.

The Qianqiu Empire was an empire of the Qianqiu sect, one of the five main sects of Ziyun planet. It was extremely far from the Xuanyin Empire, and there was even the Divine Light Empire in between the two cities.

The old men had come from so far abroad to be part of the festivities of the Ziyun grand banquet.

Although the grand banquet itself was limited only to people from the five main sects, the other carnival was open to all, so whenever there was a grand banquet, people from all over Ziyun planet would come to join the fun. For many of those in Ziyun planet, it was an honor to be a part of the Ziyun grand banquet once in their lives.

"The doors are open!" An hour later, shouts of glee were heard as the four huge city gates finally opened slowly.

Soon, the crowd that had gathered outside the gates streamed into the city endlessly… from the air, it looked like an army of ants sending itself into the open mouth of a giant beast.

The people in Xuanyan City came from all over the planet, some were of the five main empires, while others were from beyond. This referred to those who were not in the five empires nor training in the five main sects, who were just training privately or in external sects or families. For example, the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley near the Divine Light Empire, or the Fourteen Countries of Southern Jiang, were all considered part of the external lands.

Typically, those from the external lands were all of a low level of skill due to the scarce resources in those lands, although there were some exceptions who were those who had received huge gifts or opportunities that granted their rapid growth.

"Young Master, Xuanyan City is right ahead." In the southern direction from Xuanyan City, a huge shadow broke through the clouds and rushed down towards the city. This massive black shadow was a huge black eagle with a majestic, fiery golden crown. On its back, a handsome young man dressed in white sat cross-legged.

In front of the young man was a small girl who looked eight or nine years old sitting on his lap. She stretched out a finger towards the city in the distance, saying happily, "Brother, the city gates seem to be open."

"Just in time then, we don't have to wait."Read more chapter on NovelFull

The little girl's face was filled with excitement.

The young man in white was Zhou Donghuang from the Divine Light Empire. Seeing his sister Yun Lu so happy, he could not help but smile.

"Little Gold, find a guest inn for us," ordered Zhou Donghuang.

"Yes, Young Master," answered Little Gold. With a flap of his wings, he streaked into the city like a bolt of lightning.

Xuanyan City was much smaller than the capital of the Divine Light Empire. From the top, it seemed like the throngs of people flowing through the streets of the city seemed no less than the population of the capital of the Divine Light Empire.

The guest inns in the city were all owned by the Xuanyin Sect. They were centrally controlled, and the prices of the rooms varied. The best courtyard only accepted spirit stones, not gold or silver. It cost a spirit stone per night.

The entire event from the day that the city gates were open till the last day of the grand banquet was a total of ten nights. That would cost ten spirit stones in total!

Even among the five main sects of Ziyun planet, only Primal Core adepts were eligible to receive spirit stones distributed by the sect. An early Primal Core adept would only receive one spirit stone a month. Though the mid Primal Core elders would receive slightly more spirit stones a month, but they only received three spirit stones a month. Hence few people could afford to live in the best houses and courtyards in Xuanyan City's guest inns. Even if they could afford to, few would be willing to.

Before the grand banquet began, besides the host, the guests from the other four sects mostly stayed in the base camp of the Xuanyin Sect. Under such circumstances, the best guest inns of Xuanyan City were usually empty.

A year ago, there were five of the best guest inns in the city, but they were all empty most of the time… this time, the Xuanyin Sect further reduced the number down to just three rooms.

The Xuanyin Sect was responsible for receiving the elders and disciples of the guest inn. They had thought that even though there were just three of the best guest inns left, there would be nobody interested in staying there.

None of them expected that on the first day that the city gates were opened, someone would check into the best courtyard of one of the best guest inns.

"Wow! Brother, this yard is so big!" It was none other than Zhou Donghuang, Yun Lu and the golden-crowned eagle, Little Gold who had moved into the courtyard. The whole backyard was Little Gold's bed. As for Zhou Donghuang and Yun Lu, they each had their room, and this guest inn only had two rooms in total, such that there wasn't even a third room.

"A spirit stone per night for just two rooms… the Xuanyin Sect is really scamming people!" remarked Little Gold.

The fewer the rooms, the less people could stay. Thus if a group of four people who could not stay in the same room arrived, would have to book two courtyards in the gust inn. That was how the guest inn could earn twice the amount.

"Brother, can we go out to shop now?" Yun Lu looked at Zhou Donghuang expectantly.

"Yes," Zhou Donghuang said with a nod. He had come so early to Xuanyan City for the free market within the city. In the ten days before the grand banquet, there would be people from all over the planet trading their goods in the market. Zhou Donghuang had come to take a look at the market to see if there was anything he wanted that even the Divine Light Sect did not possess.

Of course, this was only his secondary purpose here. This time, his main purpose was to resolve the threat from Chen Dandan…

After all, he was about to leave Ziyun planet son, and he could not leave such a threat that could harm his family. He had originally planned to go straight to the base camp of the Xuanyin Sect. But knowing that the Ziyun grand banquet was about to be hosted, he was in no hurry.

If he were to solve the matter during the grand banquet, it would be much more effective than if he went straight to the Xuanyin Sect base camp. This way, not only could the Xuanyin Sect witness it, but all four sects of the planet would be able to witness it. In fact, others outside of the four sects who had come for fun would also be able to see what he was about to do.

In the Xuanyin base camp, all he could do was to threaten those of the Xuanyin Sect. On the other hand, here, he would be able to send a threat to all in Ziyun planet, and he would never have to worry that anyone would pose a threat to his family after he left Ziyun planet!

Chapter 198: Dharma Spirit Weapon?

The Ziyun grand banquet was a huge event for everyone from across the Ziyun planet and was definitely not something to be missed. Many of the people who had come had even arrived early in the city for the event. In the waiting time before the banquet began, the free market of Xuanyan City became where everybody spent their time.

Some people possessed special treasures and would be able to take this opportunity to fetch a high price for the treasure from buyers from all over the Ziyun planet.

"Brother, is this nice?"

"Brother, I want this."

"Brother, does this look good too?"

…

In the free market in Xuanyan City, a small girl who looked just eight or nine years old threaded through the maze of stalls. As long as something caught her eye, the young man in white behind her would buy it all for her without a second thought. This scene made many people shake their head in disapproval, thinking that this brother was irresponsible and would spoil his sister rotten. As for the stall owners, they wished that the little girl would take a fancy to something from their stall.

Along the way, the young man was spending so lavishly that he had attracted the attention of many people who had their eyes on his wealth. But nobody dared to do anything, because there were guards from Xuanyin Sect maintaining order in the city. Unless they headed out of the city, they would be powerless to do anything no matter how much they envied the young man's wealth.

"Hi! Old man, this broken dagger looks like an antique, and is quite intricate… how much is it?" A voice rang out in the distance, stopping Yun Lu in her tracks out of curiosity. Zhou Donghuang standing behind her also stopped and looked in the direction that Yun Lu was staring at.

With just a glance, he saw an old man in a grey robe sitting cross-legged behind a stall, with a broken dagger placed horizontally at his stall. The dagger was only one-foot-long, but although its scabbard was intact, the blade was broken. The broken dagger was not rusty, but it looked extremely ancient, and on closer inspection, there were many fine carvings on its surface.

"A hundred spirit stones." The old man was originally resting with his eyes closed, but when he heard someone asking about his dagger, he suddenly opened both his eyes and glanced at the man in front of his stall.

What he said not only shocked the man, but even the group of people who had been observing the commotion were all shocked.

A hundred spirit stones?

Even the late Primal Core adepts of the five main sects did not earn that amount in a year.

"This old man must be insane?"

"This broken dagger, selling for a hundred spirit stones?"

"He's gone crazy for spirit stones!"

…

Before the man could respond, many people had crowded around as they reprimanded the old man.

"Hmph!" Faced with all the criticism, the old man's eyes turned stone cold as a faint white glow suddenly radiated from his body and lifted him into the air. He floated cross-legged in mid-air.

Seeing this, the crowd which had been criticizing him immediately shut their mouths and did not dare to make another noise.

My goodness! This old man was a Primal Core adept?

The man standing in front of the stall, who had been about to make a snide remark, turned quiet as his expression changed upon seeing the old man demonstrate his ability as a Primal Core adept.

Whoosh!

As everyone watched on, the old man lifted his hand, and inner Yuan shot out of it and lifted the broken dagger into the air, as it floated in the air beside him.

"This broken dagger was an unexpected find for me. It can withstand Samadhi fire of the third level." As the man spoke, his inner Yuan transformed into Samadhi fire that encircled the broken dagger. As time passed, the broken dagger not only showed no signs of melting, but even maintained its original dark green color, as if it had not been burnt at all.

"Not only is it able to withstand Samadhi fire, but even if I use Samadhi fire of the third level to burn it for three days and nights, its blade and scabbard would still be cold to the touch, as if it was not affected by the heat at all," continued the old man.

As he spoke, the old man closed its eyes once again and kept the Samadhi fire that had been produced by his inner Yuan. His body slowly lowered itself to the ground. The broken dagger also returned to its original spot on the stall.

"Withstand Samadhi fire of the third level?" Even if it was a spirit weapon, it would be melted by Samadhi fire! What exactly was this broken dagger?

"The spirit weapons used by Primal Core adepts are all Primal Core spirit weapons… but even ultimate Primal Core spirit weapons will be melted by the Samadhi fire of an early Primal Core adept. This broken dagger, could it be a Dharma spirit weapon?"

"Dharma spirit weapon?"

"Dharma spirit weapons are used by Dharma adepts, and only the Samadhi fire of the fourth level of a Dharma adept will be able to melt it."

…

The crowd consisted of people from all over the planet who all had much knowledge about martial arts. They seemed to suspect that this was a Dharma spirit weapon.Visit web novel. live If You like manga , comics

"If it really is a Dharma spirit weapon, even if it not fully intact, a hundred spirit stones would not expensive."

"Indeed."

Although many of them suspected that it was a Dharma spirit weapon, which would be a steal for just a hundred spirit stones, but none of them stepped forward to buy the broken dagger. The first reason was that most of them did not have a hundred spirit stones to spare. Secondly, it was all a hypothesis if the dagger was actually a Dharma spirit weapon or not, so even if they could afford that many spirit stones, they would not have the guts to actually buy the dagger.

"I want this dagger." Just as more people started to crowd around, a young man in white appeared in front of the stall and attracted the attention of everybody present.

The old man opened his eyes again and looked at Zhou Donghuang as he said flatly, "One hundred spirit stones."

Zhou Donghuang did not say a word. In front of the crowd, he simply retrieved a hundred spirit stones from his space ring and sent it with a wave of his hand to the old man. The milky white inner Yuan that appeared not only shocked everyone's eyes but also… their hearts.

Just now, seeing this young man who looked not more than twenty years of age step forward and claim to want to buy the broken dagger, the crowd had thought that he was just kidding.

A hundred spirit stones, how could this man produce that?

However, when he really did take out a hundred spirit stones and send it to the old man using his milky white inner Yuan, their doubts were all shattered.

"A mid Primal Core adept?"

"Gosh! If he really is the age that he looks… his level of talent is simply unnatural!"

…

As the crowd watched on, the old man hesitated for a moment before he regained his senses and took the hundred spirit stones and collected them.

"Thank you, sir." The old man stood up and bowed to the young man.

In Ziyun planet, where strength was power, even though the young man looked no more than twenty years old, the level of skill that he demonstrated was sufficient to make this old early Primal Core adept bow in respect.

"Mm." Zhou Donghuang nodded slightly. With a flick of his hands, his inner Yuan circled around the broken dagger and brought it to his hands and sent it straight into his space ring.

The broken dagger was a Dharma spirit weapon, just as the rest had guessed. But it was not just any Dharma spirit weapon. It was an ultimate Dharma spirit weapon. Even if the spell that had been cast on it was somewhat imperfect, based on Zhou Donghuang's analysis, it would still be able to display the power of a mid-quality Dharma spirit weapon.

"Once I enter the Dharma stage and use my Samadhi fire of the fourth level to forge it once again, and recast the spell… it will once again be able to display the power of an ultimate spirit weapon!" said Zhou Donghuang to himself.

As the crowd watched on quietly, the young man in white walked away slowly into the distance, the little girl beside him jumping alongside him.

Watching them leave, many of those present were still filled with shock.

"He… he… is a Primal Core adept?"

"Gosh! He looked like he was spending so carelessly on things for the little girl, I even got greedy. If not for the guards from the Xuanyin Sect here, I would have robbed him right there and then."

"Me too. Now that we think about it, we almost lost our lives there."

…

Zhu Liancheng was a disciple of Xuanyin Sect and an early Primal Core adept. But because he was not even fifty years old, his treatment in the sect was no less than any elder. Most importantly, his teacher was the second elder of Xuanyin Sect, a late Primal Core adept. His senior teacher was one of the two Golden Essence elders of the Xuanyin Sect.

Hence, in the Xuanyin Sect, Zhu Liancheng was considered as one of those in the sect whom the elders, no matter if they were middle or late Primal Core, did not dare to offend.

"Dharma spirit weapon? Mid Primal Core adept?"

Zhu Liancheng had seen everything that had just unfolded. His eyes flashed excitedly as he followed the young man in white quietly.

Although he thought that he was being stealthy, he had been discovered by Zhou Donghuang long ago. But Zhou Donghuang paid no attention to him because he was lazy, but also because he could not be bothered.

It was only after he personally witnessed the young man bring the girl back to the guest inn did Zhu Liancheng finally stop and turn to leave Xuanyan City for the Xuanyin Sect base camp.

"Senior, I saw a young man spend a hundred spirit stones to buy a suspected Dharma spirit weapon at Xuanyan City market just now." Upon returning to the Xuanyin Sect, Zhu Liancheng looked for his senior, Li Pingzhi, the second elder of Xuanyin Sect.

"Dharma spirit weapon?" Li Pingzhi was dressed in a loose black robe. He was aged, his face covered with wrinkles and emanated a ghostly aura. However, upon hearing Zhu Liancheng's words, his eyes lit up as he asked, "Are you sure it was a Dharma spirit weapon?"

"I'm not sure," replied Zhu Liancheng as he shook his head. "But the man selling the broken dagger was an early Primal Core adept. And the man buying it was a mid Primal Core adept. And… the mid Primal Core adept looked at most twenty years old. His appearance must be young for his true age, so he must have maintained his appearance well to be able to look so young despite his age."

Chapter 199: Hope You Are Well

"A hundred spirit stones, but that mid Primal Core adept produced it so readily," said Zhu Liancheng.

"A hundred spirit stones?" Li Pingzhi's nostrils flared. Even though he was the second elder of the Xuanyin Sect, he only earned 96 spirit stones a year from the Xuanyin Sect, not even a hundred. That mid Primal Core adept was able to give someone a hundred spirit stones without a second thought, just to buy a suspected Dharma spirit weapon?

"That broken dagger, the early Primal Core adept used his Samadhi fire of the third level to burn it in front of everyone, but it was not only unable to melt the dagger, but the dagger did not even get hot," continued Zhu Liancheng. "Furthermore, on the dagger there are many carvings and inscriptions… this made it rather similar to the spirit weapon we have here in the sect."

"That mid Primal Core adept cannot be a fool," said Li Pingzhi after some silence. "That broken dagger must have been a Dharma spirit weapon, no doubt about it. You go and make a trip to buy the broken dagger from him… he bought it with a hundred spirit stones, so offer him a hundred and ten spirit stones. I believe he will show the Xuanyin Sect some respect." With a wave of his hand, Li Pingzhi produced a hundred and ten spirit stones and sent them to Zhu Liancheng. His tone was confident.

Xuanyin Sect was one of the five premier sects in the Ziyun planet. This was exactly the source of his confidence that the young man would pay them some respect.

"Yes, Senior." Zhu Liancheng backed off and left the Xuanyin Sect to Xuanyan City, straight to the doorstep of Zhou Donghuang.

It came without question that Zhu Liancheng was rejected immediately.

"Sir, my senior is the second elder of the Xuanyin Sect, Li Pingzhi… he is the one who wants to buy your weapon." Zhu Liancheng looked at the young man in white as he spoke quietly.

"Not for sale," answered Zhou Donghuang flatly.

"My elder senior is one of the two Golden Essence elders of the Xuanyin Sect," said Zhu Liancheng as his voice got even deeper.

"Oh?" Zhou Donghuang's eyes flashed. "Zhong Ya?"

"At least you know something, you know my elder senior's name. That's right, he is Qi Ming, Zhong Ya's brother," declared Zhu Liancheng proudly.

Zhu Liancheng had thought that once he mentioned his elder senior, the young man would show some respect to the Golden Essence elder of the Xuanyin Sect.

He did not expect to be rejected once again. This man was not giving him any respect at all.

"Sir, are you disrespecting our two Golden Essence elders of the Xuanyin Sect? Are you not showing the Xuanyin Sect some respect?" Zhu Liancheng's expression darkened.

"Scram!!" Hearing the threat that lay hidden in Zhu Liancheng's words, Zhou Donghuang's expression turned stone cold as a murderous glint shone in his eyes. This frightened Zhu Liancheng so much that he did dare to utter another sound as he turned and left hurriedly. A mid Primal Core adept would easily be able to kill him if he wanted to. As he left, Zhu Liancheng did not even dare to say a word.

"Chen Dandan, Zhong Ya… we will meet soon." After Zhu Liancheng had left, a playful smile rose on Zhou Donghuang's lips.""

Three years ago, when Zhong Ya had taken Chen Dandan away, Zhou Donghuang had reminded him that once he did so, would be going against him. Zhong Ya ultimately still took Chen Dandan away. That was how he had begun this feud. This time, Zhou Donghuang had come to Ziyun grand banquet in order to end this unfinished business in front of everyone in this planet.

"Damn! Damn it! That rascal did not show us any respect at all!" Zhu Liancheng left the guest inn and returned to the Xuanyin Sect, his expression extremely nasty.

"No respect at all? Did you mention me?" The second elder of the Xuanyin Sect, Li Pingzhi's expression was equally nasty.

"I not only mentioned you, but even our two Golden Essence elders of the Xuanyin Sect… but he still did not show us any respect at all," answered Zhu Liancheng furiously. "Finally, I brought up the Xuanyin Sect, and he not only did not budge, he even told me to scram! Senior, why don't you personally go and take the dagger from him? If he is not willing, then you can just kill him!" Zhu Liancheng had a murderous glint in his eyes.

"The grand banquet is in ten days. Before we are clear of this young man's background and details, we must not be rash… after all, the Xuanyin Sect is the host of this grand banquet."

Li Pingzhi was furious, but he had not lost his rationality. "I will look for your elder senior and ask him to send someone to watch that young man. After the grand banquet is over, if he still does not know his place, we can then take it from him by force!" With that, Li Pingzhi looked for his senior, Qi Ming, who was one of the two Golden Essence elders of the Xuanyin Sect.

Qi Ming was also the Distinguished Elder of the Xuanyin Sect. The Xuanyin Sect had two Distinguished Elders, who were the two Golden Essence elders, Qi Ming and Zhong Ya.

"Dharma spirit weapon?" Qi Ming was an old man dressed in a long blue robe. He looked even paler than Li Pingzhi because he was many years older than he was.

"Senior, Elder Zhong Ya is not left with much time left, he probably has no chance of entering the Dharma stage… this broken dagger, if it really is a Dharma spirit weapon, perhaps you can use it to understand its meaning and make use of the remaining tens of years to enter the Dharma stage and lengthen your lifespan by three hundred years!" Li Pingzhi said excitedly.

"You have planned well," said Qi Ming as he heard the full story from Li Pingzhi. He nodded, satisfied but said, "But… you are wrong about something. Your senior uncle is almost at the Dharma stage after accepting Chen Dandan under his wing three years ago, which helped him to clear his mind and crystallize his inner peace. It is likely that if everything goes well, he will be able to enter the Dharma stage and become a Dharma adept before the end of his lifespan!" Qi Ming's eyes were blazing. "As for the sect leader, I will update him… however, I must inform your senior uncle about this. If that really is a Dharma spirit weapon, it will definitely be helpful for him in becoming a Dharma adept."

Qi Ming headed to find his brother senior, Zhong Ya.

Zhong Ya was the Golden Essence adept who had suddenly descended upon the Valley of Medicine Masters and rescued Chen Dandan right before Zhou Donghuang had been about to kill her, and then took her under his wing as his disciple. In the last three years, Zhong Ya had looked even paler than before, but his eyes were still as bright and sharp as ever. His energy was blossoming, unlike what it was three years ago.

"If I have the Dharma spirit weapon, I will definitely be more likely to enter the Dharma stage." Knowing about the spirit weapon, although Zhong Ya's heart was as calm as still water, he could not help but get worked up. "This matter, let us just follow that Li Pingzhi's plan. Brother, you go and update our sect leader to send two late Primal Core adepts to watch that young man. If he tries to leave before the end of the grand banquet, then follow him and kill him. Take the broken dagger, the supposed Dharma spirit weapon, from his hands!" Zhong Ya's eyes were gleaming, like two bright stars shining in the dark night sky.

"Understood," responded Qi Ming before he left.

"Congratulations, Teacher!" In the backyard of Zhong Ya's house, a young girl who had been trimming the bushes put down what she was doing as she congratulated Zhong Ya profusely once Qi Ming had left.

This young girl was none other than the disciple that Zhong Ya had accepted three years ago, Chen Dandan. Three years later, Chen Dandan had lost all her childish innocence. In her sky blue long skirt, her long legs were extremely eye-catching, as were her beautiful features and figure.

"We are still not sure if it is a Dharma spirit weapon, it may be too early for congratulations," said Zhong Ya as he shook his head.

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Dandan and continued, "At the grand banquet in ten days, our Xuanyin Sect and the other four main sects of the Ziyun planet will send disciples to duel everyone from the early Connate to the ultimate Primal Core stage… each duel will have a prize for the winner. I intend to let you represent the Xuanyin Sect as one of the early Connate adepts."

Half a year ago, Chen Dandan had already entered the Connate stage.

"Thank you, Teacher," answered Chen Dandan, her eyes flashing.

"There, you will have four chances to fight. As long as you win three of the matches, after the end of the grand banquet, I will send your senior together with you back to your hometown to kill your nemesis," said Zhong Ya.

Hearing this, Chen Dandan's eyes lit up even more. Her senior, and the lead disciple of Zhong Ya, was the head elder of the Xuanyin Sect and the second most powerful late Primal Core adept in the Xuanyin Sect, his level of skill was inferior only to the sect leader himself.

"Prepare yourself… the banquet is in ten days." With that, Zhong Ya returned to his room to continue his practice.

Chen Dandan was elated. She finally caught her breath as her eyes shone with glee, "Zhou Donghuang, I hope you are well. After the grand banquet, I will return to the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley with my senior. There, I will kill your mother, Lin Lan, before your very own eyes! Then, I will cut you up into a thousand pieces!" Chen Dandan muttered to herself, as if she was filled with confidence about her performance at the upcoming competition.

…

In the next ten days, the four main sects, including the Divine Light Sect, all arrived at the Xuanyin Sect base camp.

Ten days passed in a flash, and the day of the grand banquet arrived.

In Xuanyan City, before the sun had risen, a large group of people had already gathered in the skies above the huge empty plot of land in the center of the city. These people were all here to reserve seats. By then, most of the seats with the best view had already been filled.

Now, on the vast plot of land, a large stage had been erected. On the five corners around the stage, rows of seats had also been set up as spectator stands. These spectator stands were meant for those from the five main sects, the stars of the banquet.

"The Ziyun grand banquet, all five sects will each send nineteen representatives to duel with those of the same level from the other four sects… the winner of each duel will win a prize given out by the five sects. Among the nineteen representatives… there are three early Connate, three mid Connate, three late Connate and three ultimate Connate adepts. Two early, two mid, two late and one ultimate Primal Core adept."

Chapter 200: The Feast of Ziyun

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Feast of Ziyun, put in plain words, was simply a chance for the five major sects of Ziyun to show off their skills and foundation.

The reason they had invited various people of Ziyun here as guests and spectators was also to let everyone in Ziyun know that as long as the five major sects remained in Ziyun for another day, Ziyun would continue to be in its heyday!

"They're here!"

About an hour after the sun rose in the east, the group of people in the sky of the Xuanyan City Center cleared a path, whether they were Primal Core adepts riding flying beasts or riding on the wings of the wind.

As for those who did not have the ability to fly in the sky, they were also gathered around at this moment with their eyes collectively fixed on the sky.

Over there, there was currently a group of people riding towards them on the wings of the wind.

Upon closer look, they also realized that these people were separated into five groups.

"That's the head of the Xuanyin Sect, Liu Yi!"

Someone recognized one of the two people in the sky, leading the group of people at the very front.

The old man dressed in a long green robe with a forehead covered in wrinkles and hair that was grey and white was none other than Liu Yi, head of the Xuanyin Sect.

"The leader of the Xuanyin Sect? Although he's traveling alongside the other person, it's obvious that he's deliberately lagging behind by half a shoulder's distance… if there's anyone who can make the head of the Xuanyin Sect behave this way, it's probably one of the two Golden Essence elders in the Xuanyin Sect!"

Very quickly, many people then turned their gazes to the old man beside Liu Yi, an elder of the Xuanyin Sect, who looked much older than him but whose gaze was still exceptionally sharp. They had vaguely guessed his identity.

"One of the two Golden Essence elders in the Xuanyin Sect is turning 300 years old in a few years. He's currently at the critical juncture of becoming a Dharma. He can't possibly have come… this person is probably Elder Qi Ming of the Xuanyin Sect."

When someone successfully guessed which of the Golden Essence elders in the Xuanyin Sect this man was, the gazes of many people started to become heated.

Golden Essence adepts.

The most powerful existence in the Martial Way of Ziyun.

If not for an occasion like this, most of them would never be able to encounter a person like this.

"Elder Qi Ming of the Xuanyin Sect, a Golden Essence adept. He's like a god. Even though I'm from the far-off Thousand-Year Empire, still, I've heard so much about him!"

"Twenty years ago, three non-affiliated adepts of late Primal Core and five non-affiliated adepts of mid Primal Core joined forces, intending to steal a large volume of spirit stones created by the spirit stone vein from the Xuanyin Sect from… at the time, Qi Ming, who had just entered the ultimate Primal Core stage, took action alone. In the mere span of 10 breaths, he killed and beheaded all eight of them. Because of this, he also rose to fame!"

"Although Senior Qi Ming is a Golden Essence adept, he's still not the strongest in the Xuanyin Sect. The powerful person is still Senior Zhong Ya!"

"Of course. Senior Zhong Ya is the most senior in the Xuanyin Sect at the moment. A hundred years ago, he was already an ultimate Primal Core adept and had become a Golden Essence adept!"

…

The five major sects of Ziyun would also send their Golden Essence adepts to attend the Feast of Ziyun. They could have friendly matches, swap pointers with each other, and inspire awe everywhere with the display of the best martial arts of each of the major sects.

It was clear that Qi Ming, a Golden Essence adept of the Xuanyin Sect, would be taking part in the fights at today's feast.

"Among those people, most of them are monks… they're probably members of the Divine Light Sect!"

In no time, the crowd's gaze landed on another group of people.

Most of the people among them were not just bald, they were also dressed in kasayas. Each one was obviously a monk.

"The foundation of the Divine Light Sect is the most powerful among our five major sects… the Divine Light sect is in possession of the best spirit stone vein in Ziyun."

"In the history of Ziyun, a total of two Dharma adepts have appeared… the first Dharma adept was from the Tianwu Sect. As for the second Dharma adept, the Dharma adept who appeared only recently, he happens to be from the Divine Light Sect!"

"The Dharma adept from the Tianwu Sect left Ziyun when he first entered the Dharma stage. He didn't bring any advantage at all to the Tianwu Sect… unlike the Dharma adept of the Divine Light Sect, who continued to stay in Ziyun. Even though he has almost never made a move, with him overseeing the Divine Light Sect, it was publicly acknowledged to be the top sect of Ziyun. The Divine Light Sect seized the opportunity to lay a great foundation!"

…

After confirming that the people before them were people from the Divine Light Sect, more people began to focus their attention on the two people leading them.

"That middle-aged monk among the two people in front of the Divine Light Sect are probably the current head of the Divine Light Sect…Tuo Jin. Although he just crossed the hundred-year mark, he's already a late Primal Core adept. Furthermore, he's second only to the three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect in terms of power."

"Lord Tuo Jin entered the late Primal Core stage even earlier than the monks of the Divine Light Sect back then. Even earlier… many people say that he will be the next monk of Ziyun!"

"The old monk beside Lord Tuo Jin, who's dressed in a golden kasaya is probably one of the two Shields of the Divine Light Sect… I wonder if it's the Ci Yun or Ci Xuan."

"It must be Ci Xuan! Ci Yun is quite mysterious about his whereabouts and he's reaching the maximum age of 300 years old. He can't have come here to attend the Feast of Ziyun."

"Forty years ago, Ci Xuan was always the one attending the Feast of Ziyun on behalf of the Divine Light Sect… this time is surely no exception."

"Ci Xuan went up against Elder Qi Ming from the Xuanyin Sect 20 years ago and emerged triumphantly."

"Ci Xuan entered the ultimate Primal Core stage a long time ago. Whereas Elder Qi Ming only entered the ultimate Primal Core stage 20 years ago. It's normal for Ci Xuan to be more skillful."

…

After paying close attention to the group of people from the Divine Light Sect, everyone's gaze shifted uniformly to the three other groups of people.

People from the Thousand-Year Sect.

People from the Tianwu Sect.

People from the Xuesha Sect.

Apart from the Xuanyin Sect, which had more people coming because it was the official host, there were only 20 people from the remaining four major sects who had come. Or at least, there were only 20 people who had shown themselves at the moment.

Of course, there would definitely be elders and disciples from each of the major sects hidden in the spectating crowd. It was just that they had not accompanied the main characters of the major sects attending the Feast of Ziyun today.

Apart from the Xuanyin Sect, among the 20 people from the four major sects who had appeared at the moment, the remaining 19 people, excluding the leaders of the major sects, were all going to participate in the friendly matches today.

Primal Core adepts from the various major sects also brought along with them a group of Connate adepts as they flew in the sky. They landed at the grandstand in Xuanyan City which was surrounded by a high platform, split into a few rows and sat down.

The people from each sect occupied one area of the seats in the grandstand.

In each area, only two people sat in the first row: the leaders of the major sects and the Golden Essence adepts who were accompanying them.

"Everyone's here… the Feast of Ziyun is about to start soon!"

Anticipation shone in the eyes of the spectators from various parts of Ziyun.

These people had traveled over 10 thousand miles to Xuanyan City for the precise purpose of personally bearing witness to the entire process of the Feast of Ziyun this time. This would not only be one of the most unforgettable experiences of their lifetimes, but it would also be something for them to brag about for the rest of their lives!

"The five major sects of Ziyun along with the five Golden Essence adepts at the apex of Ziyun are gathered together in the same place… a scene like this can only be seen at the Feast of Ziyun."

"Because I can see the leaders of the five major sects in Ziyun, and the five Golden Essence adepts in one shot… I have no regrets in this lifetime."

…

Under the anticipating gazes of the people in the crowd, the Xuanyin Sect in its capacity as the official host finally opened the ceremony.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Liu Yi, leader of the Xuanyin Sect."

Lord Liu Yi of the Xuanyi Sect stood up from his seat in the grandstand. In the blink of an eye, he had flown to the platform in the sky. He made a 360-degree spin in midair and swept his eyes over the spectators.

"Now, I announce… the official commencement of the Feast of Ziyun!"

…

At the same time that the Feast of Ziyun started, a huge eagle of massive proportions soared into the sky from the Xuanyan City Inn. A beautiful and fair little girl was sitting on its back, and a young man was standing behind her.

The youth was dressed in a spotless white robe with his arms behind his back. He gazed straight ahead calmly, and the disdain in his eyes was completely obvious.

In that moment, the youth's tall figure seemed to be of indomitable spirit.

Zoom!!

In a split second, the giant eagle turned into lightning and flew into the clouds.

"Stop."

The giant eagle followed the youth's words. As for the little girl on the eagle's back, she turned her head with a dumbfounded expression on her face. "Big Brother, aren't we going to watch the Feast of Ziyun right now?"

"Xiao Lu, wait here for a while with Little Gold. I'll go and settle some trivial matters first."

Zhou Donghuang patted Yun Lu's small head dotingly and smiled faintly. Then with a sway of his body, a white light flashed and all traces of him disappeared in a flash.

Whoosh!

The white figure flashed past the two stealthy figures in the sky that were about to fly through the clouds, causing them to stop in their tracks hastily.

"You guys have been watching me for a full 10 days."

Zhou Donghuang put his arms behind his back. His white robe swayed with the breeze as he looked at the two old men from above.

"You noticed us that long ago?"

At the same time that their expressions changed slightly, the two old men also noticed the silver rings around Zhou Donghuang's body. "You… you've made a breakthrough to late Primal Core?!"

In their eyes, the youth before them was merely a mid Primal Core adept.

But now, it seemed that he was no longer a mid Primal Core adept. He had made a breakthrough over the past 10 days and was now a late Primal Core adept. He had caught up with them in terms of his level of practice.

Meanwhile, in the moment the two old men's faces changed, the silver inner Yuan surrounding Zhou Donghuang's body exploded. In a split second, raging flames were ignited.

The aura of the boundless and majestic inner Yuan hit them squarely in the face, enveloping and suffocating the two old men directly.

"What rich inner Yuan!"

"We're all Silver Essence adepts, but why does it feel as if his inner Yuan is more than twice as rich as mine?!"

Their expressions changed completely when they sensed the inner Yuan emanating from the youth in front of them.

Boom!!

When the silver flames on the surface of Zhou Donghuang's body spread rapidly with a loud rumble, it did so at a speed that the two old men were completely unable to keep up with. The flames closed in on them rapidly.

Swoosh!!

His palm swept past, emitting silver light. The head of one of the old men flew into the air directly. Fresh blood splashed out and rained down on the other old man's face.

By this time, Zhou Donghuang had already moved to the other side. His back was facing the surviving old man, who was so frightened that his face was alternating between green and white, and his entire body was trembling violently.

"Tell Zhong Ya… that I'm at the Feast of Ziyun. I'm waiting for him to settle any enmity between us."

Chapter 201: A Sudden Sound

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xuanyan City.

At the venue of the Feast of Ziyun.

Thud!!

A faint echo reverberated. It was the sound of a youth lifting his hand and landing his palm on the body of another youth, pushing him off the high platform, and emerging triumphant in this friendly match.

Qi spread a third of a meter from the youth's palm.

As for the other youth, a layer of Qi also swept under his feet when he landed on the ground, battered.

Clearly, the two of them were both early Connate adepts.

By now, the Feast of Ziyun had already begun. The early Connate adepts from the five major sects of Ziyun, who were here this time, were divided into three groups of five. They were first to take part in the friendly matches.

"Number two."

Dressed in a long green robe, a young girl of delicate appearance sat in the second row of the audience seats. She was looking at the inscribed jade tag in her hand with shining eyes.

"The first group of matches is going to end soon."

The girl looked at the monk on the high platform who was dressed in a white robe. Her heart twitched. "As long as there's an outcome for the match between the two people from the Tianwu Sect and the Divine Light Sect… it will be time for the second group of people, which includes me, to take the field.

"Teacher said that if I win three matches, he will tell my senior to accompany me back to the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley and help me take revenge."

"But I want to win four matches!"

The girl was none other than Chen Dandan. Her eyes twinkled and her expression was filled with confidence.

At the Feast of Ziyun, the first batch of people to take the field were 15 early Connate adepts, three from each sect.

Fifteen people drew lots to divide themselves into three groups. The strongest person in each group was to be determined.

Thereafter, the three people who distinguished themselves in each of the three groups would all achieve the generous reward given collectively by the five major sects.

Now, the most powerful person in the first group was going to be determined.

"Does Senior want to take a break?"

The monk dressed in the white robe was none other than the early Connate disciples of the Divine Light Sect. He appeared to be around 20 years old. When the youth defending himself on the high platform smiled, two dimples appeared on his cheeks.

"I didn't expend much energy. It hasn't affected me."

The young man, also the first early Connate disciple from the Tianwu Sect to take the field, shook his head gently.

"If that's the case, Senior, please make a move first,"

The disciple from the Divine Light Sect said politely with his palms pressed against each other.

"Sure."

The youth did not stand on ceremony either. From head to toe, a layer of Qi wreaked havoc and seemed to immediately transform his entire body into cyan flames. It pounced on the disciple of the Divine Light Sect as if about to devour him.

Faced with the youth who attacked him with full force, the disciple of the Divine Light Sect had an imposing expression on his face too. When the youth was surging towards him, he simultaneously pulled back while warding off the attack.

After a short period of time, he finally gained the upper hand.

Thump!!

After ten moves, the disciple of the Divine Light Sect randomly threw out his fist. The destructive power of his Qi increased sharply, mercilessly ousting the youth, who had already won three matches in full, off the high platform.

Victory!

The disciple of the Divine Light Sect attained the top position in the Feast of Ziyun this time.

"As expected of a disciple of the Divine Light Sect. Although he's merely an early Connate adept, he has shown immense power. If you survey the entire Ziyun, there are probably very few early Connate adepts who are on par with him."

"Even if a typical mid Connate adept emerges triumphant in a battle against him, it will probably take them a lot of effort."

…

The performance of the disciple of the Divine Light Sect made the audience gasp in awe.

The Divine Light Sect was deserving of its name as the best sect of the Ziyun since the olden days. Even a mere early Connate disciple from the sect was this impressive.

"Lord Tuo Jin, Cao Gang is already our strongest early Connate disciple in the Tianwu Sect… the disciples of the Divine Light Sect are amazing,"

The sect leader of the Tianwu Sect, a sturdy middle-aged man dressed in loose training clothes who looked like a street performer that smashed rocks on his chest, said in admiration.

"We don't deserve Lord Ye's praise."

Tuo Jin smiled modestly.

The head of the Tianwu Sect, whose name was "Ye Wen," looked incredibly rough. But his name described a scholarly person as opposed to a person from a military background.

After the Divine Light Sect's disciple achieved victory and came down from the stage, the head of the Xuanyin Sect Liu Yi who was seated in the audience area said in a clear voice, "Now, the disciples of various sects who drew lots with the number two, can ascend onto the high platform."

Whoosh!

Before Liu Yi had even finished speaking, a green figure had already left the audience area behind him like a phantom and ascended onto the high platform in the blink of an eye.

It was Chen Dandan.

The goal that Chen Dandan's mentor, Zhong Ya, had set for her was to win three rounds. So she was the first to take the field so as to guarantee that she would attain her objective.

Even if she was confident that she was no weaker than the early Connate disciples from the other four sects, she was nevertheless the first to take the stage.

"A female disciple?"

"The Xuanyin Sect is going to send a female disciple?"

…

When Chen Dandan made her appearance, it was not just the spectators who felt that the Xuanyin Sect was messing around. Even the people of the other four major sects felt that the Xuanyin Sect was taking this way too lightly.

Because it was believed that female adepts could not compare to male adepts physically, females were usually at a disadvantage in fights between adepts of the same level of practice.

"Lord Liu, is the Xuanyin Sect giving the disciples of the four major sects benefits by doing this? I can't believe you're sending a female disciple to take the field."

These words were said by the head of the Xuesha Sect while shaking his head and smiling as he looked at the leader of the Xuanyin Sect, Liu Yi from afar. He was a middle-aged man with a curly beard who was dressed in a long scarlet robe.

"Lord Hu, you definitely shouldn't underestimate this female disciple from our Xuanyin Sect."

Liu Yi smiled calmly.

"Why? Could it be that this disciple from the Xuanyin Sect has incredible qualities or something?"

The face of the Xuesha Sect Leader Hu Chengshuo was filled with disdain.

After Chen Dandan took the field, the other early Connate disciples from the four sects who had drawn the number two still did not move. Each and every one of them felt that they had an unfair advantage when pitted against a female.

No one was willing to come forth.

All of them were afraid of being a laughingstock.

"Her name is Chen Dandan."

Without waiting for Liu Yi to respond to Hu Chengshuo, the old man seated beside Liu Yi, the Taoist Elder Qi Ming of the Xuanyin Sect glanced briefly at Hu Chengshuo. "She's the disciple my senior took under his wing three years ago."

Qi Ming's words were immediately followed by a deathly silence across the whole venue.

Who was Qi Ming?

The Taoist Elder of the Xuanyin Sect!

One of the two prominent Golden Essence elders of the Xuanyin Sect!

In the Xuanyin Sect, the only person whom he called "Senior" was the other Golden Essence elder of the Xuanyin Sect, the most powerful person in the Xuanyin Sect, Zhong Ya!

"She's… actually a disciple of Senior Zhong Ya?"

The disdain on Hu Chengshuo's face vanished completely. In its place was an expression of shock. He could not have expected this female disciple from the Xuanyin Sect to be a disciple of Elder Zhong Ya of the Xuanyin Sect.

Zoom!!

Just when many people had yet to register what was happening, a figure rapidly flew out from the audience area where members of the Thousand-Year Sect were seated, and mounted the high platform directly.

It was a young man dressed in a brocade garment, an early Connate adept from the Thousand-Year Sect who had drawn the number two.

"Damn it! He beat me to it!"

"This chap moved way too quickly."

"I missed the chance."

When the disciple from the Thousand-Year Sect mounted the high platform and stood facing Chen Dandan, the other early Connate disciples from the remaining three sects who had drawn the number two beat their bests and stamped their feet in unison. They felt that it was such a pity.

Earlier, they felt that attacking Chen Dandan was a disgrace to them, but now, they felt that this was their chance to become famous in the span of one battle instead!

In their eyes, Chen Dandan was no longer a mere disciple of Xuanyin Sect, but the disciple of the Xuanyin Sect's Golden Essence elder, Zhong Ya!

As long as they defeated this Chen Dandan, they would be at full liberty to go around boasting that they had once defeated a Golden Essence disciple of the Xuanyin Sect.

This feat would be impressive enough for them to boast about for the rest of their lives!

"Junior Dandan, I'm Zong Tan from the Thousand-Year Sect…"

While the disciple from the Thousand-Year Sect was introducing himself, Chen Dandan interrupted him and said indifferently, "I'm not interested in knowing the name of a losing opponent."

The moment Chen Dandan said these words, the Thousand-Year Sect's disciple was so infuriated that his expression changed completely. As for the other people, they went into an uproar. They could sense the immense confidence in Chen Dandan's words.

Bang!

By the time Chen Dandan finished speaking, a layer of Qi had risen dramatically beneath her feet. Her entire body pushed off the ground and flew towards the Thousand-Year Sect's disciple like an arrow that had left its bow.

"Hmph!"

After the Thousand-Year Sect's disciple regained his senses, there was an extremely unpleasant expression on his face. He wanted to gain the upper hand using some tricks, only to realize that Chen Dandan was not firing blindly. Her skills were indeed at a higher level than his.

On top of that, Chen Dandan had gained the initiative by striking first and had the upper hand. After three moves, the Thousand-Year Sect's disciple was sent off the high platform by Chen Dandan's palm.

Just then, the expressions of the remaining disciples from the three major sects who had drawn the number two also became more solemn. They no longer dared to underestimate Chen Dandan because she was a woman.

Thud!!

Snap!!

Boom!!

Under the stupefied gazes of the spectators, Chen Dandan defeated one of the remaining three people in two moves. As for the other two people, she defeated one in five moves and the other in six moves.

Chen Dandan successfully emerged victorious in the second group of battles among the early Connate adepts in the Feast of Ziyun.

"Impressive! Impressive!"

"As expected of a disciple of a Golden Essence adept. Women are no less capable than men!"

…

After Chen Dandan reached the top, as expected, a wave of admiring exclamations started around her. As the crowd of people discussed amongst themselves, they were not stingy at all with their compliments.

At the moment, even some of the higher-ranked members of the four major sects had collectively started to praise Chen Dandan.

They also took the chance to flatter the Xuanyin Sect's Golden Essence elder, Zhong Ya.

"Senior Zhong Ya is not just powerful. Even his methods of teaching his disciples are equally awe-inducing."

At this moment, Chen Dandan stood on the high platform as the "main character." She listened to the gasps of admiration and flattering compliments emanating from around her. She lifted her head proudly like an arrogant peacock.

At the same time, a figure dressed in snow-white clothing flashed in Chen Dandan's mind without any warning signs.

"It's a pity that Zhou Donghuang can't be here to see this.

"Zhou Donghuang, I hope you're still alive… after the Feast of Ziyun ends, I, Chen Dandan, will bring Senior back with me to the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley. I will make you witness firsthand your mother being tortured to death by me. Then, I'll make mincemeat of you!"

…

Just when Chen Dandan had recovered her senses and was about to leave the stage.

"It's been three years… Chen Dandan, have you only improved to this extent?"

These indifferent words suddenly traveled through the air and landed. As if it possessed some kind of magic power, it suppressed all the noise at the venue.

Chapter 202: Blood Showers filled the Sky

At the venue of the Feast of Ziyun.

Above the high platform, a youth was suspended in midair with his hands behind his back.

Dressed in garments as white as snow, he had a dashing appearance and an extraordinary elegance. At the moment, he was looking down from above at Chen Dandan, who was about to leave the stage.

In that instant, that voice of his, which seemed to possess magical powers, successfully attracted the attention of everyone present at the same time that it suppressed all the noise at the venue.

"After three years… Chen Dandan, is that the mere extent of your progress?"

The crowd looked in the direction of the voice. When they saw clearly the youth's appearance, the Primal Core adepts led by Ci Xuan of the Divine Light Sect and Lord Tuo Jin smiled bitterly. Apart from them, the remaining people collectively narrowed their eyes.

"A Primal Core adept?"

"Look at the dense milky-white inner Yuan around his body. He's obviously a mid Primal Core adept!"

This young man, who seemed to be a mid Primal Core adept, appeared to be around only 20 years of age. No matter how skilled he was in maintaining his youthful looks, he could not be much older.

"Who is he?"

"I don't know… judging from his mannerisms, he doesn't have good intentions. Furthermore, he seems to be targeting Chen Dandan."

"He's but a mid Primal Core adept. How dare he offend Chen Dandan? Chen Dandan is a disciple of the Golden Essence elder of Xuanyin Sect, Zhong Ya. What's more, there are so many highly-ranked people in the Xuanyin Sect here right now."

…

The group of people from the Xuanyin Sect included, everyone's gazes instinctively landed on Chen Dandan once again.

"Zhou… Zhou Donghuang?!"

There was no way Chen Dandan could have expected that the person she had just been praying and hoping was still alive, would immediately appear in the flesh right before her eyes.

He was not just alive, but had even entered the mid Primal Core stage, attaining the rank of a mid Primal Core adept!

In the span of three years.

The childish air about his face had already faded. He looked much more mature now.

Most importantly, he had further widened the gap between himself and her.

And this gap nearly suffocated her and made her feel hopeless…

Over the past three years, from a level-four Qi-Gathering adept, she had broken through again and again at breakneck speed. Now, she had become an early Primal Core adept.

Within the same span of time, the Zhou Donghuang in front of her had advanced from early Primal Core all the way to a mid Primal Core adept. He had surpassed her completely.

"A 22-year-old mid Primal Core adept?!"

Others may have thought that the youth in front of them looked around 20 years old because he was good at maintaining his youthful looks. But Chen Dandan could not be more certain of the age of the youth before her.

He was only 22 years old this year.

"That's impossible!"

Chen Dandan dared not believe it. She even found herself constantly wondering if she was dreaming.

But after a brief moment, she was sure that she was not dreaming… the youth before her had indeed succeeded in becoming a mid Primal Core adept at the age of 22!

"No!"

All of a sudden, a thought flashed in Chen Dandan's mind. As if something had occurred to her out of the blue, her eyes immediately lit up. "So what if he's a mid Primal Core adept right now?

"Would he even be a match for Master?

"Even among the higher-ups in Xuanyin Sect, a majority of them have the ability to kill him."

At that thought, the shocked expression on Chen Dandan's face vanished, substituted with an ice-cold expression. Within a split second, a stern killing intent emanated from her gaze that was fixed on Zhou Donghuang.

"Zhou Donghuang, I really didn't expect you to actually enter the mid Primal Core and become a mid Primal Core adept."

Chen Dandan raised her head to look at the youth. "I must say that this is surprising. But that's all it is. Since you've come here today, you can forget about leaving."

After she finished speaking, Chen Dandan was deeply afraid that the young man would escape. The first things she did was look at the audience area where the higher-ups of the Xuanyin Sect were located. "Uncle, Sect Leader, Senior… this person is my mortal enemy. Three years ago, he once criticized Master and even declared that he was going to take revenge on our Xuanyin Sect!"

The moment Chen Dandan said these words.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Distinguished Elder Qi Ming of the Xuanyin Sect, the Sect Leader Liu Yi and the Head Elder Bai Shitang rose in unison. In the blink of an eye, they surrounded Zhou Donghuang in a triangular formation.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

…

After Qi Ming and the other two people had made their move, the remaining Primal Core adepts of the Xuanyin Sect came forward in unison too. They formed an outer ring and stared at Zhou Donghuang in a predatory manner.

"You spoke rudely about my Senior? And you even declared your intention to take revenge on Xuanyin Sect?"

Qi Ming stared with an electrifying gaze at the youth before him dressed in white. Although his face was expressionless, a chill emanated from his gaze.

A thunderous noise!

Simultaneously, the crowd of people around them went into a collective uproar.

Chen Dandan's words had shocked them as well.

They could not believe that this early Primal Core adept had spoken out of turn to the most powerful person in Xuanyin Sect, Zhong Ya, and had even declared his intention to get revenge on Xuanyin Sect.

Was he mad?

"But… if he had been rude to Senior Zhong Ya three years ago, why didn't Senior Zhong Ya get rid of him then?"

"I find it strange too. Logically, with Senior Zhong Ya's capability in mind, killing a mid Primal Core adept would be as easy as slaughtering a chicken."

Someone questioned this.

"Three years ago, Master disdained to kill him."

After Qi Ming and the others looked towards her skeptically, Chen Dandan said through clenched teeth, "At the time, Master hoped that I would kill him with my own hands. Because… he was my enemy. But, I didn't expect that… in the mere span of three years, he would manage to enter the mid Primal Core stage!

"I asked myself… will I ever have the chance to kill him with my own ability in this lifetime?"

Nearing the end of her sentence, Chen Dandan's tone was laced with slight bitterness. She looked towards the young man again, and her eyes turned even colder.

The entire venue turned deathly silent again when Chen Dandan spoke.

In three years, he had entered mid Primal Core? Was it possible for such an adept to appear in Ziyun?

Right now, apart from the group of Primal Core adepts from the Divine Light Sect, and including Qi Ming and the other higher-ups of the Xuanyin Sect, the remaining people all had very skeptical looks on their faces.

No one dared to believe Chen Dandan's words for the sole reason that her words were too terrifying. They were literally unbelievable!

From early Primal Core to mid Primal Core in the span of three years?

Was that possible?

"Uncle, Sect Leader, Senior."

Chen Dandan swept her eyes over Qi Ming, Liu Yi and Bai Shitang. With a solemn expression on her face, she said, "This Zhou Donghuang progresses at such a terrifying speed. Fortunately, he came today. If we allowed him to develop further… in a few years, I'm afraid no one in Xuanyin Sect would be able to subdue him."

"Chen Dandan."

The moment Chen Dandan finished speaking, Zhou Donghuang started speaking. As he gazed at Chen Dandan, there was contempt, sarcasm and mostly mockery in his eyes.

"What you mean is… now, there are people in Xuanyin Sect who can defeat me?"

There was a strong air of sarcasm about the upturned corners of Zhou Donghuang's lips.

The moment Zhou Donghuang spoke, he predictably attracted everyone's gazes.

"As expected, he came."

Lord Tuo Jin of the Divine Light Sect looked at the youth dressed in snow-white with a complicated gaze. Then, he sighed gently.

"The Xuanyin Sect… is done for."

The Right Shield of the Divine Light Sect, Golden Essence adept Ci Xuan, followed suit and shook his head.

Unlike the Primal Core adepts of the Divine Light Sect, the remaining people present felt instead that Zhou Donghuang had gone mad after they heard his words!

A mere mid Primal Core adept dared to say something so outrageous?

What was he, if not mad?

"Where did this lunatic come from?"

"Provoking the Xuanyin Sect like this, he's dead meat!"

"Given his personality, how did he survive until now?"

Whether they were from the Thousand-Year Sect, the Tianwu Sect, or even the Xuesha Sect, and whether they were in as high a position as Golden Essence adepts or the sect leaders, or in as low a position as early Primal Core disciples, they looked at Zhou Donghuang as if they were looking at a dead person.

"Little Gold, that Chen Dandan thinks that people from the Xuanyin Sect can defeat Big Brother."

In the distance, Yun Lu stood on the back of the golden-crowned eagle, Little Gold. A chill emanated from her eyes as she looked at Chen Dandan.

Although it was her first time meeting Chen Dandan, she had heard much about how Chen Dandan had repaid kindness with ingratitude by betraying her mother, Lin Lan and her big brother, Zhou Donghuang.

When it came to Chen Dandan, she similarly could not wait to destroy her and take revenge for her mother and Big Brother!

"Sometimes, being ignorant is a good thing too… at least, before she leaves the mortal world, she won't despair for too long."

Little Gold shook its head. It looked at Chen Dandan as if it were looking at a fool, an idiot.

The group of people from the Xuanyin Sect had heard Zhou Donghuang's words and went into a brief daze altogether. Afterwards, they all had mocking smiles appear on their faces.

Whoosh!!

The condensed and milky-white inner Yuan around Zhou Donghuang's body was instantaneously drowned by a majestic and vast silver blaze. It seemed to transform him into a silver fire god.

This scene immediately stupefied the entire crowd once again.

The Primal Core adepts of the Xuanyin Sect who were surrounding Zhou Donghuang, including the Golden Essence adept Qi Ming, could not help but cower at this moment. Their minds could not keep up.

They were completely confused as to how a mid Primal Core adept could suddenly release silver inner Yuan, which was exclusive to late Primal Core adepts.

What's more, inner Yuan that was so ridiculously dense!

Whiz!

Under the watchful gazes of the crowd, Zhou Donghuang's figure swayed. Silver flames sliced through the air and immediately attacked Qi Ming, who had yet to register what was happening.

In the split second that Qi Ming regained his bearings, an arm peeked out from the silver flames heading towards him. It was holding an open folding fan, and the ribs of the fan shone with cool light as cold as ice.

Buzz!!

The silver flames brushed past Qi Ming's body. The folding fan parted the air and brought with it the sound of a blade.

"No-"

At nearly the same time that the crowd saw a streak of fresh blood spurt into the sky and the head of the Xuanyin Sect's Golden Essence adept Qi Ming left his body and flew upwards, they heard a piercing and hopeless scream, the last sound Qi Ming made before his death.

They had seen with their own eyes that it had traveled at the speed of light.

And light traveled at a faster speed than sound.

At the top of Qi Ming's head, which had flown upwards, the unwavering and wide eyes were filled with terror. The face covered in blood also had an expression of complete despair.

At this sight, everyone present subconsciously held their breaths.

Qi Ming, a Golden Essence adept of the Xuanyin Sect, was dead?

They breathed out.

…

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Before Qi Ming's head had even landed on the ground, and while the crowd had not recovered from the shock, Zhou Donghuang attacked decisively and executed all of the Primal Core adepts surrounding him.

…

Head after head flew into the sky, and fresh blood splashed about. A shower of blood rained down directly on Chen Dandan's face.

Chapter 203: Zhong Ya Is Here!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Whoosh!

…

At the Feast of Ziyun, which was now dead silent, bloody rain fell, and the droplets splashed clearly and audibly.

Chen Dandan's body and face were fully splashed with bloody water. As for her, she was rooted to the ground as if her entire body had been stunned, staring at the youth in the air shakily.

Apart from a bunch of Primal Core adepts from the Divine Light Sect, as well as Yun Lu, who appeared to be rather indifferent, the other attendees were all extremely shocked and fearful.

A moment ago, the group of Primal Core adepts from the Xuanyin Sect had rushed out and surrounded the youth.

At that moment, everyone had clearly seen that the Xuanyin Sect's Distinguished Elder, Qi Ming, had a golden halo surrounding him, which was very likely to be the unique golden inner Yuan that Golden Essence adepts possessed.

As for the Xuanyin Sect's Young Lord Yuan, Liu Yi, the Xuanyin Sect's head elder, Bai Shitang as well as another elder from the Xuanyin Sect, their bodies were wrapped with silver inner Yuan.

These were the three late Primal Core adepts.

As for the other four Primal Core adepts of the Xuanyin Sect, two had a pure white inner Yuan halo while the other two had a milky, pale white fog around them.

They were mid Primal Core and early Primal Core adepts respectively.

These were the people who were all mass beheaded by the youth in the blink of an eye!

Thud!

Thud! Thud!

When the corpses of the group of the Xuanyin Sect's Primal Core adepts hit the ground, the entire crowd slowly regained full consciousness and their faces all had on expressions of extreme shock, fear and bewilderment.

All of them slowly cast their glances once again on the youth floating in the sky. He held a folding fan in his hands and was dressed in white as if he were a scholar and was floating scarily above all.

"The Golden Essence adept… was killed by him just like that? His brains even flew and splattered everywhere!"

"Within the time it takes to take two breaths, all the Primal Core adepts from the Xuanyin Sect, including the Golden Essence adept Qi Ming, head elder Liu Yi, the two mid Primal Core elders and two early Primal Core disciples were all killed!?"

"In front of this youth, the status of the Golden Essence adept and the early Primal Core disciples seemed to mean nothing! He managed to kill them all casually and cut out their brains…"

Hushed voices began to ring out in the setting of the Feast of Ziyun as everyone began to voice their opinion on what had just happened.

Now, for the other three big sects who had been watching the spectacle gleefully, be it those from the Tianwu Sect, Thousand-year Sect or the Xuesha Sect, their expressions had changed to that of fear. In fact, they were so afraid that their faces were now extremely pale. Even the Golden Essence adepts within these three big sects were now glancing at the youth floating steadily in the sky with a gaze of utmost fear and fright. They knew better than to delude themselves into thinking that the Golden Essence adept of the Xuanyin Sect, Qi Ming, had been killed simply due to carelessness.

Just now, when the youth had taken action, his body had been moving extremely fast and had far surpassed them! Furthermore, utilizing the fan in his hand, the youth's attacking prowess was extremely strong and they could not guarantee that they could win over him even if they all joined forces and worked hand in hand.

This was scary!

Way too scary!

"Although his inner Yuan is only that of a Silver Essence adept, silver, but… that thickness and pureness is double the strength of a normal Silver Essence adept's inner Yuan!"

"It's comparable to the perfect fusion of three Silver Essence adepts' inner Yuan… this isn't any weaker than a Golden Essence adept's inner Yuan! A Golden Essence adept's inner Yuan is only stronger by double of a normal Silver Essence adept's inner Yuan…"

"That folding fan of his has got to be a heavenly spirit weapon! Not only that, it should be a unique heavenly spirit weapon!"

At this very moment, everyone, including the Divine Light Sect's Golden Essence adept, Ci Xuan, stared on with growing intensity at the folding fan in the youth's hand.

Well, that was all they could do.

Although they stared on intensely, none of them held on to any greedy ideas of acquiring the fan.

It was not that they did not want to own the fan. It was more of the fact that everyone knew they were not eligible to own this item.

Based on the showcase of ability by the youth, if they dared to thirst after this object, they would probably face the same fate as the Xuanyin Sect's adepts…

"No…!"

A cry of utmost shock and confusion rang out. This was Chen Dandan, who had now regained full consciousness. She had collapsed to the ground, shaking her head continually with a look of horror in her eyes. "No… This is impossible! This is simply impossible!"

"How could he be so powerful? This is impossible! It's definitely impossible!"

"I must be dreaming! I must be dreaming!"

"Yes, I'm just dreaming! This is all a bad dream!"

Chen Dandan sat wearily on the ground and glanced at the piercing fresh blood surrounding her. Her entire body trembled intensely. The sight of the fresh blood hurt her eyes and caused her to feel limp and weak.

Did Chen Dandan truly think this was all a bad dream? No…

Seeing as Zhou Donghuang had floated in the air and become a Primal Core adept, Chen Dandan had already known that she was not merely dreaming.

Now, her cries of the situation being a dream was but her desperate attempt to forcefully console herself. Chen Dandan feared that she would reach a point where her organs would burst and her entire body would explode with horror.

The atmosphere in the air felt thick and oppressive all of a sudden.

"I say, I can't believe three years was all it took for you to become powerful enough to kill all the elders in our the Xuanyin Sect!"

An old voice, which was still energetic and full of vigor, rang out from afar.

Although the voice came from a distance, it pierced the air with a shocking intensity and flowed to the Feast of Ziyun, into the ears of everyone present.

This person's voice was heard even before he had appeared physically.

"Teacher!"

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Dandan, who had previously collapsed onto the ground with four trembling limbs, now stood up like someone who had been injected with vigor, her face flushed with color and relief.

Well, a second later, the voices echoing around her caused Chen Dandan to collapse on the ground once again.

"Chen Dandan called out to the voice and called it, 'Teacher?'"

"Is that the other Golden Essence adept of the Xuanyin Sect, their strongest elder, Zhong Ya?"

"Well, this youth managed to kill the Xuanyin Sect's Distinguished Elder, Golden Essence adept Qi Ming… Even if Zhong Ya were stronger than Qi Ming, how much stronger could he possibly be?"

"He is definitely not this youth's match! This youth's strength, although not yet surpassing that of a Dharma adept, is definitely enough to crush any adept that is below the Dharma stage…"

…

No one present here, including the people of the four big sects of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, as well as the lucky Connate adepts of the Xuanyin Sect who had survived, believed that the Golden Essence adept elder, Zhong Ya, was strong enough to defeat Zhou Donghuang.

Chen Dandan began to have her doubts as well.

Hua!

Hualala!

In the calm surroundings of the Feast of Ziyun, a grey shadow suddenly appeared. This figure's voice was especially bright, and his robes swayed with the wind, making rattling noises.

The owner of this grey shadow was an old man dressed in long grey robes.

Zhou Donghuang identified this figure in an instant.

This was the Golden Essence adept that had appeared in the Valley of the Medicine Masters three years ago, the Xuanyin Sect's elder, Zhong Ya.

"Hm?"

Once he realized that Zhong Ya looked much more youthful than he had three years ago, Zhou Donghuang was momentarily stunned before he regained his composure. His eyes flashed a few times.

"Young man, three years ago, I did not kill you simply because I was afraid that the deed would interfere with my crossing to the Dharma stage… I can't believe that three years later, you'd dare to appear here!"

Zhong Ya stared steely at Zhong Donghuang and spoke in a tone devoid of emotion. "Since you're here, your life will be lost today, here and now."

"Teacher!"

Just as Zhong Ya had finished his sentence, Chen Dandan shouted out in a panicky fashion. "You'd better leave! You'd better leave!"

"He killed Elder Qi Ming, head elder and our strongest brothers! You should wait till you've crossed over into the Dharma stage before challenging this Zhou Donghuang and avenging their deaths!"

At this very moment, all Chen Dandan wanted was for her teacher to quickly flee and enter the Dharma stage before returning to seek out Zhou Donghuang for revenge.

With Zhou Donghuang's showcase of ability earlier on, unless Zhong Ya managed to enter the Dharma stage, he would definitely be no match for Zhou Donghuang!

Ah!

Upon hearing Chen Dandan's words, Zhong Ya's face changed. He glanced meaningfully to the side and saw that there were tens of corpses on the stage of the Feast of Ziyun, which included all his sect's people apart from his personal disciple Chen Dandan, who had collapsed on the floor.

These corpses were either rid of their brains or were separated from them.

Among the corpses, there was the sect's main disciple, the Xuanyin Sect's head elder, Bai Shitang, as well as his other disciples, the sect's Distinguished Elder Qi Ming as well as Liu Yi.

"Qi… Qi Ming?"

Towards the death of Bai Shitang and Liu Yi, Zhong Ya simply felt rage. However, the death of Qi Ming was something unfathomable to Zhong Ya. After all, Qi Ming was also a Golden Essence warrior.

Yet, he had died here?

"You…"

When Zhong Ya looked up once again at Zhou Donghuang, who was floating in the air a short distance away from him, his eyes were full of confusion and disbelief. "As a mere late Primal Core adept, you managed to kill a Golden Essence adept?"

Zhou Donghuang stared back at Zhong Ya calmly and said, "Three years ago, I warned you about this… Zhong Ya, as you brought away Chen Dandan against my wishes, you brought a grudge with me upon your entire sect… Today, I, Zhou Donghuang, am here to put an end to this entire grudge."

Once Zhou Donghuang had spoken these words, everyone who was present noticed that the youth dressed in white had appeared here and massacred the people of the Xuanyin Sect because of Chen Dandan.

She was the root of all their troubles!

At this moment, several people turned to glance at Chen Dandan and collectively had the thought of her being a true troublemaker…

"Hahaha… Hahahahahaha…"

Zhong Ya laughed without any hint of mockery in his tone, and his laughter grew with time. Afterwards, he stopped suddenly as everyone looked on with shock.

After laughing, Zhong Ya shot a glance that was as cold as steel at Zhou Donghuang. "Young man, if you had taken action three days ago, you probably could have done as you pleased and killed me, as well as destroyed the entire the Xuanyin Sect.

"Instead, you chose to take action only today. Your goals are fated to stay as mere dreams forever!"

Almost immediately after Zhong Ya had spoken, a strong scent unfurled from his body, and this was followed by a gust of black power that flew out from within.

Within an instant, a shadow about one-foot tall rose from Zhong Ya's body. It was about the size of a small hill and the shape of a black raven, standing upright.

Surrounding this one-foot tall shadow of a black raven, there was a small trail of black halo that wrapped around him like flowing water, giving off a strong yet unique scent.

Although Zhong Ya was not near the attendees of the Feast of Ziyun, the onlookers who were weaker were still overwhelmed with this scent. Some flushed red while others even began to bleed internally.

"Is this… Dharma!?"

Many immediately averted their eyes.

Chapter 204: What a Pity!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Ah, it's no wonder that I felt something was amiss previously… Senior Zhong Ya from the Xuanyin Sect, as a Golden Essence adept, was floating in the air without a golden halo surrounding him. I guess it's because he has already crossed over into the Dharma stage."

A senior from the Thousand-Year Sect sighed and said, "The Dharma stage allows one to go back to the basics. Those who have crossed over will have an inner Yuan that is invisible."

"Dharma… I guess this means that our powerful supreme sect of Ziyun now has our third Dharma adept…"

At this point, other than the wild happiness that was displayed on the Xuanyin Sect member's faces, other attendees from the other big sects had on more complex and troubled expressions.

The powerful supreme sect of Ziyun's third Dharma adept was a member of the Xuanyin Sect… Of course, those of other sects would have preferred a different outcome.

In the past, the first Dharma adept of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun was someone from the Tianwu Sect… During that period, the Dharma adept of the Tianwu Sect had wanted to extinguish all the other sects and unify them all under Tianwu before he left the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun.

As the only individual who had crossed over to the Dharma stage in Ziyun, that Dharma adept from the Tianwu Sect had been invincible and was able to do as he pleased.

However, in the end, the other sects had all joined forces and worked together to force the Tianwu Sect to surrender their weapons as they refused to be defeated that easily.

That day, the sects had made a stern announcement: If the Dharma adept of the Tianwu Sect dared to take action against them again, the Primal Core adepts of the other big sects would all isolate the area, leave the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, vanish into the skies before one day coming back stronger, unleashing revenge on all the Tianwu elders and disciples.

What did it matter if only the Tianwu Sect had a Dharma adept?

He was still unable to protect every single elder and disciple in the Tianwu Sect if every other big sect worked together against him.

They would kill all his sect members!

With this joint determination by the other big sects, the Dharma adept then gave up on the idea of unifying the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun under the Tianwu Sect's name. Furthermore, the Dharma adept of the Tianwu Sect had been determined to leave the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun. Naturally, he would not have wanted to leave the Tianwu Sect in a troubled state.

Afterwards, when the Divine Light Sect produced the second Dharma adept of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, although the other sects were slightly fearful, they no longer flew into a panic.

They knew that with the previous incident of the Tianwu Sect's Dharma adept serving as a severe warning, the Divine Light Sect would not dare to make any reckless moves.

"Go!"

"Go!"

…

The Golden Essence adepts of the Divine Light Sect, Thousand-Year Sect, Tianwu Sect and Xuesha sect all flew up into the sky from where the masses were sitting and flew towards different directions at an extremely fast speed.

This leave taken by all the Golden Essence adepts of the different sects was due to their fear that they would all be defeated together by the Xuanyin Sect's elder, Zhong Ya, who had already crossed over to the Dharma stage.

Furthermore, they had an obligation to return back to their sects to spread the word that Zhong Ya had crossed over to the Dharma stage. They also had to make preparations to defend against Zhong Ya as they had the constant worry that he would attack their respective sects and extinguish them in the future.

The other members of the four big sects, under the direction of their head elders, stayed to watch this spectacle.

Since all the Golden Essence adepts had left to make their own preparations, even though Zhong Ya had crossed to the Dharma stage, he still had to be aware and would not easily attack the other sects.

The scene of the Golden Essence adepts of the other four sects leaving of course did not go unnoticed by Zhong Ya. Not only so, but he also understood their intentions on making a quick escape. However, he did not bother to attempt to stop them.

If he did so, he possibly could prevent all the Golden Essence adepts from leaving and destroy them.

Yet, if he chose to focus on them, the youth dressed in white would definitely have an opportunity to escape then.

Once this youth escaped, it was highly possible that it would signal the future destruction of the Xuanyin Sect!

Three years.

The youth standing before him, who was as tiny as an ant in his eyes and was originally an early Connate adept, had not only crossed over into the late Primal Core stage and become a Silver Essence adept but also now possessed the power to kill the Golden Essence adept of the Xuanyin Sect, Qi Ming!

The existence of this youth was too dangerous and threatening to the existence of the Xuanyin Sect.

Zhong Ya could thus only stare emptily as the Golden Essence adepts of the other big sects left and disappeared into the distance.

"Is that… Dharma?"

At the same time, a group of people, who were shocked into a daze by the presence of Dharma on Zhong Ya's body, regained their senses and shocked expressions flitted across their faces.

A Dharma adept.

To them, such people only existed in legends and folk stories.

Yet today, they had personally witnessed the existence of a Dharma adept right before their very eyes.

"It's simply unexpected that this time's Feast of Ziyun encapsulated so many surprise events… First, a young man appeared out of nowhere and managed to kill the eight biggest Primal Core adepts of the Xuanyin Sect, including their Golden Essence adept, Qi Ming, within two breaths' time… Afterwards, the Xuanyin Sect's Distinguished Elder, Qi Ming, had appeared in person and revealed that he had crossed over to the Dharma stage."

"The Golden Essence adepts of the other four sects have all taken the opportunity to run… Clearly, they are also worried that Elder Qi Ming, who is now a Dharma adept, would take action against them…"

"Well, the unlucky one here is no longer Elder Qi Ming but the youth. He probably did not even dream that Elder Qi Ming could have crossed over to the Dharma stage."

1

"Based on Elder Qi Ming's words, it is highly likely that he crossed over to the Dharma stage only two days ago."

…

The onlookers all stared anxiously at Zhong Ya with flushed and intense looks on their faces.

A Dharma adept.

if this was the past, they would not even have dared to dream of meeting a Dharma adept in person!

Being able to witness this sight gave them bragging rights. No, it gave even their next generations bragging rights… To think, they had met a Dharma adept!

"Teacher… you've become a Dharma adept?"

Chen Dandan had regained her senses as well, and she stood up. She stared at Zhong Ya and bowed courteously. "Congratulations, you've successfully achieved your goal of becoming a Dharma adept!"

Clearly, Chen Dandan herself had not been aware of Zhong Ya's achievement previously.

"Hm."

Zhong Ya glanced at Chen Dandan warmly. Chen Dandan deserved some credit for this achievement of his. Just as he had mentioned three years ago when he had arrived at the Valley of the Medicine Masters, Zhong Ya's plan to enter the Dharma stage involved mental enlightenment. When he had saved Chen Dandan's life and accepted her as a disciple, it was to gain mental enlightenment.

The more mental enlightenment he gained, the higher his chances were of crossing over to the Dharma stage.

Two days ago, he had successfully entered the Dharma stage and extended his lifespan by 300 years. This was why he seemed to have physically gone back in time and looked younger than before.

The Zhong Ya now could live for another 300 more years!

Two days ago, after his breakthrough, Zhong Ya had isolated himself in his room to adjust fully to his new status. He had only appeared today after a Late Primal Core adept elder from the Xuanyin Sect had visited him and informed him hurriedly of the news of Zhou Donghuang.

Once he had removed himself from isolation, Zhong Ya had made his way here.

"Zhou Donghuang!"

When Chen Dandan focused her glance once again on the youth dressed in white, it was with a completely new mood. She was now energetic again like she had been born into a new life, and her eyes were full of greed and evil intent. "I bet you never dreamt that my teacher, Zhong Ya, had already crossed over into the Dharma stage."

"I have to admit, your progress was indeed rather shocking and unexpected, which led to your strength today and your ability to kill the other adepts. However, it's a pity that you're now unlucky enough to meet my teacher, a Dharma adept!"

Chen Dandan then turned to gaze at Zhong Ya. "Teacher, since you are now a Dharma adept, you no longer need to worry that the act of killing Zhou Donghuang would affect your mental enlightenment."

Zhong Ya replied in a cold tone, "Even if I had not yet crossed over to the Dharma stage, with his powers now, I'd have the intention to kill him, and it still would not affect my mental enlightenment.

"Of course, if I didn't cross to become a Dharma adept, I would admittedly be no match for him now."

The next time Zhong Ya glanced at Zhou Donghuang, the corners of his mouth turned up into a sinister smile. "Young man, didn't you want to inflict the consequences of this grudge you have against me and the Xuanyin Sect?

"Make your move.

"I'm actually curious to see… How you, a special Silver Essence adept who could kill a Golden Essence adept, manages to act against me, a Dharma adept!"

As he spoke, Zhong Ya's eyes flicked with mockery.

"I can't believe you actually became a Dharma adept."

Zhou Donghuang glanced calmly at Zhong Ya with an undisturbed expression on his face.

Previously, when Zhong Ya had first appeared, Zhou Donghuang had already observed that Zhong Ya did not have a golden inner Yuan halo surrounding him. Furthermore, physically, Zhong Ya had looked younger, and it was easy to guess that he had crossed over to the Dharma stage and had successfully become a Dharma adept.

"Well, the higher you rise, the more damage you will receive when you come crashing down… Saving Chen Dandan and becoming a Dharma adept merely allows you to live 300 more years. If you did not save her, even if you never crossed to the Dharma stage, you, Zhong Ya, could actually still have lived out a few good years."

Zhou Donghuang shook his head. "What a shame, what a shame."

"Yet again, gaining a few days of status as a Dharma adept in exchange for a few years of life is probably a worthy exchange to you."

With Zhou Donghuang's words, both Zhong Ya and Chen Dandan froze momentarily. The entire place fell yet again into a deep silence.

These words uttered by Zhou Donghuang had a deeper meaning that everyone could understand. What he meant was that despite Zhong Ya crossing over to the Dharma stage, he would still ensure his death today!

"Zhong Ya is now a Dharma adept… but he still has the confidence of killing him?"

The Divine Light Sect's head elder, Tuo Jin, was wavered by Zhou Donghuang's words. Previously, after realizing that Zhong Ya was now a Dharma adept, he had assumed that Zhou Donghuang was unluckily doomed. After hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, however, he felt swayed once again.

Could this Zhou Donghuang really kill Dharma adept, Zhong Ya?

"Is he crazy?"

"Although he is indeed rather powerful, the difference between a Primal Core adept and a Dharma adept is as vast as an ocean. He wants to cross a big stage and kill a Dharma adept? Is he dreaming?"

"What an idiot!"

The head elders of the Thousand-Year Sect, the Tianwu Sect and the Xuesha sect shook their heads and spoke up among themselves after hearing Zhou Donghuang's words.

This was especially so for the head elders of the Thousand-Year Sect and Xuesha sect. The glance they gave Zhou Donghuang was one they usually reserved for fools or the mentally disabled.

"Brother!"

Yun Lu was standing on Little Gold's back. Her small face no longer had on a hazy expression, and her eyes had brightened.

Previously, upon seeing that Zhong Ya had become a Dharma adept and demonstrated training of the Dharma stage, she was still worried that Zhou Donghuang was no longer his match.

However, upon hearing Zhou Donghuang's confident words, all ounces of worry disappeared.

"Weirdo!"

Even Little Gold spoke up now. Originally, even Little Gold had not expected that the master of his home would not fear someone as powerful as a Dharma adept.

As for the other onlookers, however, they were still unconvinced of the chances of Zhou Donghuang winning this fight.

At the end of the day, what Zhong Donghuang faced was still the third Dharma adept of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, who had only appeared after thousands of years had passed!

Chapter 205: Battling Dharma

"Zhou Donghuang, you're facing your death, and you still dare to utter such ludicrous words!"

Chen Dandan regained her composure and smiled coldly. She was confident that Zhou Donghuang would not be able to win a fight against her teacher, Zhong Ya.

If her teacher, Zhong Ya, was the old Golden Essence adept of before, she would have a different opinion and fear for her teacher's life when fighting against Zhou Donghuang, given that he had managed to kill the Xuanyin Sect's other Golden Essence adept, Qi Ming, easily.

However, Zhong Ya was now a Dharma adept.

A Primal Core adept would definitely be unable to match up to the powers of a Dharma adept.

In the mind of a Dharma adept, a Golden Essence adept and a normal early Primal Core adept did not differ much as both could be easily killed within seconds.

"Young man, do you really… think that you could kill my brother, Qi Ming, and win over me?"

Zhong Ya smiled mockingly at Zhou Donghuang before suddenly taking a giant step forward. His body flew upwards and evolved into a Dharma-level, black raven about one-foot tall and had a pair of double wings.

Suddenly…

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

With the vigorous flapping of the Dharma-level, black raven's wings, the Feast of Ziyun's setting was suddenly engulfed in a violent wind. Those onlookers of weaker status were taken aback by the wind and forced to take a few steps back.

In the skies, several flying beasts were blown until they immediately ran away and escaped.

As for the other party, Zhou Donghuang, the robes on his body were also swept up like a white flame burning up.

"Today, I'm going to show you the power of the third Dharma adept in the history of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun!

As Zhong Ya uttered these words, his entire body flew forward forcefully.

Once everyone heard his words, they immediately turned their gaze to Zhong Ya.

More accurately, they turned to glance at the one-foot-tall black raven that had arisen from Zhong Ya's body.

This one-foot-tall, Dharma-level beast was the symbol of an early Dharma adept.

In full view of the audience, Zhong Ya raced forward, and the black raven similarly flapped its wings hard and moved forward like a floating shadow towards Zhou Donghuang.

"This is the power of a Dharma adept?"

"The power of a Dharma adept lies in the concentration of his inner Yuan… Even the inner Yuan of an early Dharma adept can easily defeat that of a Golden Essence adept's golden inner Yuan!"

"This Zhou Donghuang is doomed…"

…

The black raven flew forward at an astonishing speed, and he dived forward with his body, looking extremely glorious. His huge body was a sight to see, and it rushed towards Zhou Donghuang murderously. The onlookers in the crowd all had on expressions of pity for Zhou Donghuang as they watched this spectacle.

Although everyone would agree that Zhou Donghuang's skills were impressive, he was definitely not on Zhong Ya's level yet.

"Die! Die!" Chen Dandan had on a maniacal expression and she laughed coldly to herself. "Zhou Donghuang, once you're dead, I will return to the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley, kill your mother and send her on her way to reunite with you!"

The lucky survivors from the Xuanyin Sect similarly watched this scene joyously, happy at the thought of revenge for their dead comrades.

"If you were from the supreme sects or the Star Clan, with the powers I possess now, I definitely would not be your match… It's just a pity that you, Zhong Ya, are only a Dharma adept of a low practice planet. You simply are unable to utilize the real potential of a Dharma adept in battle!"

Towards the murderous Zhong Ya, Zhou Donghuang could not help but laugh to himself.

Next, he raised up his hand and opened up the eighteen-fold fan in his hand. The silver halo continued to wrap around him, and it looked as if there were eighteen dragons swimming around the fan.

"Today, I, Zhou Donghuang, will put you, Zhong Ya, to shame as the most short-lived Dharma adept of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun!"

Zhou Donghuang spoke up. Even before that, his body had trembled, and the eighteen-fold fan in his hand exploded outwards like eighteen sharp arrows, flying towards Zhong Ya.

Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!

…

The 18 wings of the fan cut through the air and made a whipping sound as if they were 18 separate swords. This sight was magnificent to behold, and the wings of the fan were all directed towards the black raven.

"What powerful inner Yuan!"

Once Zhou Donghuang reached out his hands, Zhong Ya had immediately realized just how powerful the former's developed inner Yuan was. In fact, it was rather scary! As compared to the inner Yuan that Zhong Ya possessed before he became a Dharma adept, it was about double that amount!

"Good thing I'm a Dharma adept now… If not, I would definitely lose this battle!" Zhong Ya cheered to himself silently.

"He is but a Silver Essence adept. How could he have such great amounts of strength? The fan in his hand seems to be enabling his inner Yuan to expand greatly… could it be an ultimate spirit weapon?"

While Zhong Ya made guesses on whether the fan in Zhou Donghuang's hands was indeed an ultimate spirit weapon, his heart raced as it was a shocking matter to him should this guess be true.

"I really cannot believe that your inner Yuan has developed to this level of strength… However, in any case, it is still not nearly enough to battle a Dharma adept like me!"

With a deep breath, Zhong Ya quelled the surprise that had welled up within him and gazed at Zhou Donghuang with a stern glare that was as piercing as lightning.

"Is that so?"

Zhou Donghuang laughed coldly and lightly. Within an instant, his body shook, and his entire body rushed forward and brushed past the eighteen wings of the fan like a ghost.

Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!

…

The eighteen wings of the fan not only began to glow silver but also largely began to change direction once they brushed past Zhou Donghuang's body.

Within an instant, the eighteen wings of the fan moved from all directions towards Zhong Ya and eventually converged to surround him fully, intending to kill him. It was as if eighteen silver shooting stars had appeared in the sky, determined a common direction, and had rushed towards a singular planet to attack and destroy it.

"Ridiculous!"

Zhong Ya glanced at this sight and laughed coldly. "Do you really think your attack can truly fight the power of a Dharma's inner Yuan?"

Just as Zhong Ya had spoken, the black raven on his body let out a piercing and high-pitched shout. This exclamation was ear-shattering and caused all who were present to feel almost deafened. For those who were standing close to this scene, these adepts even started to bleed and some even died on the spot.

This only added another layer of tension to the already tense atmosphere.

…

The black raven gave off an extremely aggressive aura, and it was vibrating tremulously as well. This aura was given off in all directions like a first attack wave and turned the entire Feast of Ziyun into chaos. Chen Dandan, who was standing on the high stage, was flung into the distance. With a shout, she spat out a mouthful of blood and quickly ran to escape as her face turned pale.

"Run!"

"Let's run far, far away, lest we become casualties of this fight!"

…

Apart from the people of the four great sects, who were still watching the fight, others began to quickly leave the scene.

Although the people of the big sects had not left, a group of Primal Core adepts had reached out their hands collectively to unleash their inner Yuan, creating a shield layer to protect the other adepts of their respective sects.

Their collective inner Yuan was still somewhat able to provide a respectable cover against the black raven's power.

"This is the extent of a Dharma adept's power!? Zhou Donghuang is doomed for sure!"

When Chen Dandan had run to a far distance, she stopped again to watch the scene. Although she was now in an extremely ragged state, when she raised her head to glance at the skies once more, her face was still filled with excitement as if she had already witnessed Zhou Donghuang being killed by Zhong Ya.

"Once a Dharma adept has grasped his Dharma power, one definitely needs to train hard to allow that power to become full and intact."

Zhou Donghuang's words suddenly filled the air just as the eighteen wings of the fan attacked like swords in the direction of the black raven's body.

"If I'm not wrong… Not only have you not trained your Dharma power, but you also haven't even identified the cracks in your Dharma power yet, am I right?"

These words by Zhou Donghuang angered Zhong Ya slightly when he heard them. Zhong Ya furrowed his brow slightly before relaxing again. "Young man, it's not your place to lecture me!"

"If my Dharma power is not intact, feel free to attack me and see for yourself!"

Clearly, Zhong Ya did not believe a word that Zhou Donghuang had uttered.

Ping!

Ping!

Ping!

…

At this moment, the fan by Zhou Donghuang completely split into its eighteen wings. Encompassing solid silver inner Yuan, some of it shot out and landed simultaneously on Zhong Ya's black raven.

In this first wave of attack, the majority of the eighteen wings were easily blocked by the black raven's wings.

Twelve remaining beams were shot out. Six landed on the black raven's body again, while four did not create any significant damage to the black raven. As for the last 2 beams, however, once they had landed on the black raven, they caused him to let out a shout of anguish.

"This is not good!"

In that instant where Zhong Ya heard the black raven call out, he began to feel a force of repulsion travel quickly from the black raven's body to within him, causing his entire body to swell internally.

An instant later, the shock made him tremble violently as well.

"Wah…"

Witnessing this first exchange, the audience could not help but cry out in shock. The black raven had now shrunk from being one-foot tall to merely being five-meters tall. Furthermore, Zhong Ya was now spitting out a large amount of blood. His face turned as pale as paper and his entire being seemed to have aged greatly all at once.

"What an embarrassment for a Dharma adept!"

Just as Zhong Ya was damaged and spitting out blood, Zhou Donghuang had already arrived before him. By raising his hands, the eighteen wings of the fan returned to him and reformed into a singular fan.

"I thought hitting one of the weak spots in your inner Yuan would be quite lucky… Instead, I managed to hit two of them!

"You're really weaker than I thought you were."

Zhou Donghuang's body's silver flames exploded like a ball of fire and directly flew towards Zhong Ya, who was badly injured.

The black raven was now unable to fend off any attacks.

"How is this possible!?"

Zhong Ya had never imagined that he would be so badly injured in the mere first round of battle. He was also not ready for the attack by Zhou Donghuang, which was apparently able to overcome that of a Dharma adept.

"Is my Dharma power truly lacking in some ways?"

Just as he was mumbling to himself, Zhong Ya realized that Zhou Donghuang was coming forward with an attack yet again. This time, he did not use the fan in his hand but instead rushed forward with his whole body.

"Even if I'm injured, it's still enough to summon up some remaining power… I have to kill you and end this whole saga properly!"

Zhong Ya's face was stony and cold, and the shortened black raven began to withdraw. It formed a thick and solid layer of black light around Zhong Ya, like a layer of black armor.

Dharma armor.

This was one of the main methods a Dharma adept could use in war. The Dharma power could be used to surround the body as a defense lawyer and utilize the Dharma adept's inner Yuan at a shockingly fast speed.

Of course, when a normal Dharma adept attacked others, it would be using Dharma power to create explosive attacks, and many seldom bothered with the Dharma armor, which was more of a defensive move.

However, the method used by Zhou Donghuang had already scared Zhong Ya enough, and he was now more concerned that Zhou Donghuang would exploit more of his Dharma power's weaknesses instead!

Chapter 206: Cause and Effect

Woah!

The black, glowing halo around Zhong Ya started flowing, and the inner Yuan emerged from his body just like a giant black ball of fire. His entire being suddenly became like a worldly, glorious god, floating mightily in the air.

Afterwards, both his hands trembled. He reached out with both his hands, welding a knife and whipped forward as if he wanted to cast Zhou Donghuang aside before sticking a knife into him to end him once and for all.

"Just by converting your Dharma into armor, you believe that will cover up and make up for all your weak spots?"

Towards Zhong Ya, who was charging towards him, Zhou Donghuang's mouth arched into a mocking smile, and he then violently shook the hand holding his folding fan, sending it flying forward.

Swish!

The fan cut through the air and slightly brushed past Zhong Ya's left palm, frustrating him.

At the same time, Zhou Donghuang's moving body brushed past Zhong Ya's palm at the same time while the former reached out his hand like a shot of lightning, pulling the fan back to him.

All these things happened in an instant.

As for Zhong Ya, he had never imagined that Zhou Donghuang would be able to have such a fast reaction within such a short period of time and manage to open up his left hand.

One had to know that his right hand's fist had been aiming for the folding fan that Zhou Donghuang was holding on to.

"That reaction time was scarily fast!" Zhong Ya's heart lurched.

This was the first time he had met such a powerfully scary being. It was as if Zhou Donghuang was able to anticipate his enemy's every move and gain an advantage even before his enemy could take any action.

It was as if Zhong Ya was not fighting with a young man of about 20 years old, and instead, it felt like he was fighting with an old beast that was a veteran of war, or who had experienced hundreds of years of battle.

"Well, what does it matter that he evaded my one palm? My power can easily take him down!"

Zhong Ya's right hand shot out like a knife, and in it, he welded a narrow knife that had a black tip. He lunged forward towards Zhou Donghuang, slicing the knife down in the air. The sound this action made was piercing and caused one to wince.

"If he doesn't bother to hide, he's really stupid then!"

Zhong Ya's eyes flashed and a maniacal expression appeared on his face. "As for me, at most, I'll just suffer a few more minor injuries."

Just as the black tip of the knife was about to slice Zhou Donghuang's body in half, at that very moment, Zhou Donghuang's waist, as well as the lower part of his body, glowed with silver light. Strangely, his upper body folded up and now seemed to be extremely malleable, like it did not contain any bones and could be folded at will.

This was also all out of Zhong Ya's expectations. It greatly confused everyone presently watching the fight as well.

How could someone transform their body like that?!

Hm!

The knife in Zhong Ya's hand fell just like his previous punch had.

"How can this be!?"

Seeing as Zhou Donghuang had miraculously managed to push away the knife that he so confidently thrust out, Zhong Ya's face immediately changed and a cold sweat began to drip down his face.

At the same time, he frantically adjusted the power within him in hopes of launching a second attack. However, right at this very moment, the lower half of Zhou Donghuang's body, which had folded up, now used the tension amassed to bounce forward like a strong arrow shot by an archer, aiming directly for Zhong Ya.

"Oh no!"

Quickly, Zhong Ya activated all the remaining inner Yuan within him and emptied it all out. He used the pure black armor that was created to hide himself.

Hm!

Towards the fan that Zhou Donghuang had re-brandished, Zhong Ya could feel the silver glow and the power emanating from the fan. He put his hands together in preparation for a strong attack by Zhou Donghuang.

Pshhh!

Suddenly, the fan that Zhou Donghuang had thrown across in the air was blocked by Zhong Ya's two hands. It had met with Zhong Ya while it was glowing bright with silver light.

"Young man, do not overestimate the power of a Dharma adept. It's much more powerful than you think!"

Zhong Ya smiled victoriously as he had managed to fend off Zhou Donghuang's attack. "Just you wait till my next move!"

"Well, it's not too shabby for you to be known in the future as the first to be killed by me, a Dharma adept!"

At this moment, Zhong Ya acted as if he had already won this battle.

Psh!

Zhou Donghuang laughed mockingly in return and, at the same time, he waved the fan in his right hand violently. Zhong Ya's heart immediately had an uneasy feeling. He clasped his hands together once more and attempted to snatch Zhou Donghuang's fan by force.

Yet, the fan in Zhou Donghuang's hand was as slippery as a slug. No matter how earnestly Zhong Ya tried, the fan still easily slipped from his hands.

"No…"

After the fan slipped from Zhong Ya's fingers, Zhong Ya felt as if something was amiss, and his facial expression suddenly changed as well. He suddenly let out a frantic and pained cry.

Psh!

The fan that had escaped Zhong Ya's hands acted as if it was a wild beast that had escaped its cage. It flopped around like a fish out of water, shooting around in the sky like a beam of silver light.

Psh! Pow!

Fresh blood spattered everywhere.

Phew!

A brain flew into the sky.

Zhong Ya now suffered the same fate as the Xuanyin Sect's Primal Core adepts who had previously died at the hands of Zhou Donghuang.

On the 10th of October, 1233 of the Ziyun Era, after 3 years, Zhou Donghuang had appeared at the Feast of Ziyun and murdered Zhong Ya of the Xuanyin Sect in front of all the various guests present. He delivered the consequences he had promised Zhong Ya when the latter had disobeyed his orders back then in the Valley of the Medicine Masters.

Zhong Ya had thus also become immortalized in history as the Dharma adept who had lived the shortest life.

He had been killed after stepping into the Dharma realm for a mere three days.

This battle between Zhou Donghuang and Zhong Ya was extremely fast-paced, and if one were to be distracted or failed to observe closely, they would have missed several exciting scenes.

The entire Feast of Ziyun had thus fallen into a silence ever since the duo had started fighting.

Seeing as Zhong Ya's brain had flew into the sky and he had been killed, although the entire scene remained silent as before, the sound of Zhong Ya's motionless corpse hitting the ground still shook the audience greatly.

How could the third Dharma adept of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun have passed away so easily?

"No…"

"This is impossible! This is impossible!"

Among the crowd that was murmuring about the events that had just happened, Chen Dandan was the first to recover, and she had on an expression of disbelief and shock.

"Brother has won!"

Sitting on the golden-crowned eagle, Little Gold's back, Yun Lu cheered excitedly with a flushed face. Little Gold, similarly, had let out rings of light in his excitement.

So what if Zhong Ya was a Dharma adept? He was still killed in the end by their master!

"Chen Dandan!"

When Zhou Donghuang's voice rose up once more, everyone else regained their senses as well. After sighing to themselves, they glanced at Zhou Donghuang with a completely different expression as before.

They could not help but only view him with fear now.

This young man, dressed purely in white, was merely a Primal Core adept. However, he was immensely powerful, and his skills were already at a shocking level.

He could easily kill a Golden Essence adept.

Similarly, killing a Dharma adept was also of no issue to him!

"Who… who exactly is he!?"

"What kind of evil being is he? Could he really be a member of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun!?"

…

As the crowd of people stared at Zhou Donghuang fearfully, Zhou Donghuang had already moved to where Chen Dandan was standing. He glanced stoically at Chen Dandan with an unreadable expression.

Just as Zhou Donghuang stared at Chen Dandan, those people who had been standing around her were now so frightened that they had scattered in all directions, keeping a distance from Chen Dandan lest they became casualties in this new conflict that was about to explode.

"Zhou… Zhou Donghuang…"

Glancing at this young man dressed in white before her, Chen Dandan's face was full of desolation. She had never imagined that even with the backing of the Xuanyin Sect, one of the five powerful sects in the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, she would still lose to Zhou Donghuang.

This youth had now become the strongest of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun.

To Chen Dandan, several things were clear:

In the battle today, the young man before her had already ascended to the peak of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, and no one from the several sects would dare to offend him.

Did she regret it all? Of course she did.

If she had not been someone who betrayed the adoptive mother who had taken care of her, if she had not betrayed the man before her, she probably would have already been married to this man under the direction of her adoptive mother.

In that case, Chen Dandan would have been able to ride on Zhou Donghuang's acquired glory and become a member of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun. It was a pity that one wrong step had led to her downfall of today.

"All I wanted to say and ask, I have already done so three years ago."

Zhou Donghuang glanced sideways at Chen Dandan, and the corners of his mouth turned up into a mocking smile. "Before I kill you, do you have anything to say, Chen Dandan?"

Chen Dandan sighed deeply. "You have won this fair and square. I have nothing to say!"

Three years ago, Chen Dandan knew that this person before her would never spare her so easily and would eventually kill her. Today, although she truly wished to live, she knew that Zhou Donghuang would never allow her the chance to do so.

It didn't matter if she remained defiant or fell to her knees. Today, she was destined to die.

Why not die with a bit more dignity?

"If that is so, then off you go."

Under the watchful gaze of the entire crowd, Zhou Donghuang's body emitted silver flames, and these flames suddenly formed a giant hand in the sky, which landed on Chen Dandan's head.

Ping!

A giant explosion rang out, and the ground shook, dust spraying everywhere.

Some people's faces suddenly went numb with the impact.

When the dust had settled, a giant hand-shaped valley appeared in the ground. In this giant valley, blood was everywhere, and they were some traces of clothes and long hair.

Chen Dandan, who should have died three years ago in the Valley of the Medicine Masters, had managed to survive till today, but eventually met her death as well.

However, now, many others accompanied her to their graves.

After Chen Dandan's death, the entire venue remained silent.

Those present were all too fearful to utter a word in front of the young man dressed in white. They were all afraid that any noise they made would irritate him.

"Lord Tuo Jin."

Zhou Donghuang turned to look at a monk who was sitting in the front row among the audience and spoke lightly, "Have you thought about it?"

Once Zhou Donghuang had spoken, momentarily, everyone in the crowd become confused.

"The Divine Light Sect will follow your wishes, Lord Donghuang."

Almost immediately after hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, Young Lord Yuan of the Divine Light Sect, Tuo Jin, immediately stood up and bowed.

Next, under the glances of a confused crowd, he barked out an order, and several of the Golden Essence adepts of the Divine Light Sect got up and rushed towards the remaining adepts of the Xuanyin Sect.

Like a wolf devouring a pack of sheep, within an instant, all the adepts of the Xuanyin Sect were killed.

This scene shocked everyone present once again!

Chapter 207: Destroying Xuanyin Sect

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Tuo Jin, leader of the Divine Light Sect, ordered for the people of his sect to kill the people of the Xuanyin Sect. This situation was one that nobody present could have expected, and it left them at a loss.

How did the people of the Divine Light Sect become pawns to the youth who was dressed in white all of a sudden?

"Lord Tuo Jin."

After the Primal Core adepts from the Divine Light Sect had killed the Connate adepts from the Xuanyin Sect, Zhou Donghuang exchanged greetings with Lord Tuo Jin. At the same time, he quickly swept over the auditorium that housed people of the big three sects—the Thousand-year Sect, Xuesha Sect and Tianwu Sect.

"It seems like someone was making rude remarks about me earlier on."

The second Zhou Donghuang said that, the faces of the big three sect leaders and their people changed immediately.

The three sect leaders sprung up from their seats. They were about to apologize, but Zhou Donghuang beat them to it, and said, "Each of your three families have to pay me a hundred thousand spirit stones as compensation for the psychological damage you have dealt to me. I want to see the stones before Year 1234 of the Ziyun Era.

"Lord Tuo Jin, come find me if any of the three refuse to cooperate and I will pay them a visit myself to collect the stones! I'll also spar a little with their Golden Essence adepts while I'm there."

There was as cold glint to Zhou Donghuang's eyes as he spoke, which caused the three sect leaders to blanch.

A hundred thousand spirit stones?

Not just that—this young man was going to visit them personally if they refused to cooperate?

To spar with their Golden Essence adepts?

Qi Ming, a Golden Essence adept from Xuanyin Sect, had been killed by the man in a matter of seconds, a man who had killed a Dharma adept, no less. The Golden Essence adepts of the big three sects were just no match for him!

Sparring?

Who was he kidding?

It was obviously a threat—if they dared to not hand over the stones, Zhou Donghuang would kill the Golden Essence adepts standing behind them as interest.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Tuo Jin hurriedly responded. At the same time, he glanced over at the three sect leaders. "Sect Leaders, please go back and have the spirit stones delivered to us at the Divine Light Sect, please.

"Remember to have them delivered before Year 1234 of the Ziyun Era."

Tuo Jin reminded them emphatically.

At the same time, the man felt somewhat relieved.

It was a good thing that the people of the Divine Light Sect had realized just how frightening the young man was and had refrained from gossiping. Otherwise, it was likely that the Divine Light Sect would be just as unlucky as the other three sects were today.

"Your Highness."

Hu Chengshuo, leader of the Xuesha Sect, looked towards Zhou Donghuang with a pale face. The man fought to speak first, "I can apologize if my words have offended you, Your Highness, and I can also compensate you with some spirit stones.

"But a hundred thousand spirit stones… isn't that a little too much?"

Hu Chengshuo could not help but let his anger seep into his words. He felt that what the man before him was doing was tantamount to extortion.

At the same time, the sect leaders of the Thousand-Year Sect and the Tianwu Sect cast their gaze toward Zhou Donghuang simultaneously.

Xuesha Sect Leader, Hu Chengshuo had spoken his mind.

"Too much?"

Zhou Donghuang's eyes gleamed for a second, but he quickly schooled his expression. He turned to look at Hu Chengshuo then offered blandly, "Two hundred thousand spirit stones."

A deathly silence fell over the crowd at his words. The people looked at him as if they had seen a ghost, and the only thought that was running through their heads was that the man was going too far.

"Your Highness, y—you're joking, right?"

Hu Chengshuo's face was flushed with anger, but he suppressed it and responded in a low voice.

Even if he totaled the entirety of the Xuesha Sect's reserve of spirit stones, he would barely scrape together slightly more than two hundred thousand spirit stones. And the young man standing before him had the audacity to ask for them to handover what they had been accumulating for a thousand years?

The other members of the Xuesha Sect looked at Zhou Donghuang, anger written clearly all over their faces. They would never have expected for the young powerhouse to be so vicious.

Two hundred thousand spirit stones?

Why not just go rob someone?

This time, Zhou Donghuang responded to Hu Chengshuo with a slap.

Thump!!

Though not as fancy as the time he killed Chen Dandan, he slapped Hu Chengshuo firmly. It felt like a heavy piledriver had fallen on his head and sent him straight through the sturdy floorboards. The man was turned into a pile of meat in an instant.

The Xuesha Sect Leader, a late Primal Core, died just like that.

The remaining members of the Xuesha Sect were even more enraged, but all of them kept their heads bowed. Not a single one of them dared to lift their head up.

This was no laughing matter!

What would they do if Zhou Donghuang had them killed in a fit of rage?

The surrounding crowd was made up of people from Ziyun. Though they were not from any of the three sects, they could not help the shiver that ran up their spine.

They felt that the young man before them was too barbaric!

Of course, they knew this much: This young man could afford to be this barbaric!

"After you return to the Xuesha Sect, relay this message to the person who'll step up as leader… Two hundred thousand spirit stones, not a single stone less than that."

Zhou Donghuang said as he glanced at the people of the Xuesha Sect.

When he cast his gaze to the leaders of the Thousand-Year Sect and the Tianwu Sect, the two of them hurriedly bowed at their waist with their heads low. "Your Highness, we will personally deliver the hundred thousand spirit stones to the Divine Light Sect after we return!"

"Mm."

Zhou Donghuang nodded. "Since the two of you are being so cooperative… I'll give the both of you two spirit weapons each."

After he said that, Zhou Donghuang waved his arm carelessly and tossed two swords and two daggers to the two sect leaders as if he were tossing garbage.

Wordlessly, the two sect leaders collected a dagger and sword each. They tested the feel of the blades of a while before they turned to look at each other in pure glee.

"These are real spirit weapons!"

The two of them chorused. Just like that, the resentment that had built up in their chest dissipated and was replaced by a surge of excitement.

A hundred thousand spirit stones in exchange for two spirit weapons.

This was a lucrative deal!

In this moment, it was not just the people of the Thousand-Year Sect and Tianwu Sect who felt this way, but even the bystanders thought that the two of them had really profited from this—and they had profited a great deal, at that.

There was one thing you had to know: Before this, there were only two spirit weapons in the whole of Ziyun.

The people of the Xuesha Sect, on the other hand, were seething with rage. Not only did they miss out on a spirit weapon, but they had to pay two hundred thousand spirit stones on top of that?

Resentment was building up in their hearts, directed at Hu Chengshuo, the previous leader of their sect who was now dead.

After all, they only landed in this plight because the man had stepped forward.

If not for that, they would have profited instead of incurring a larger loss.

"Lead the way, Lord Tuo Jin."

Zhou Donghuang returned to perch on Little Gold's back. After he was back beside Yun Lu, he looked again to Divine Light Sect Leader Tuo Jin, signaling for the latter to lead them to where the Xuanyin Sect was.

"Yes."

Tuo Jin responded. Before he left, he looked towards the leaders of the Thousand-Year Sect and the Tianwu Sect. "Gentlemen, the Divine Light Sect will be making its way to the Xuanyin Sect along with His Highness. Will the two of you be coming along?" Tuo Jin asked.

Without waiting for the two of them to respond, he brought the Primal Core adepts from his sect to move to where the Xuanyin Sect was.

Little Gold, the golden-crowned eagle, started to move from where he was in front of the crowd. He followed closely behind the people of the Divine Light Sect.

After the leaders of the other two sects shook themselves out of their stupor, they scurried to gather their people and followed behind as well.

They had their own guesses for what Zhou Donghuang and the people of the Divine Light Sect were going to do to the Xuanyin Sect. "The Xuanyin Sect… it will no longer exist after today."

The spirit weapons Zhou Donghuang gave to the two sects had pleased the people greatly and put them in a good mood. They were now more partial to currying favor with Zhou Donghuang and carrying out tasks for him.

As such, when they were at the Xuanyin Sect base, Zhou Donghuang did not even have to lift a finger.

The man went straight to looking for the sect's secret storehouse, completely emptying it off all their spirit stones and a plethora of other valuables they had accumulated over the years.

There was so much to loot that his space ring was not enough.

It was a good thing he killed a few of their higher-ups in Xuanyin City earlier on, as well as the Xuesha Sect Leader. Their space rings were barely enough to store all of the stuff.

…

"Lord Tuo Jin, did you guys… did you guys already know that His Highness was such a frightening man?"

Ye Wen, the Tianwu Sect leader who had killed a Xuanyin Sect elder earlier on, turned to the Divine Light Sect leader to ask him.

The Divine Light Sect had not uttered a single word of disrespect to Zhou Donghuang earlier on at the Feast of Ziyun.

On top of that, it was clear from Zhou Donghuang and Tuo Jin's interactions that the pair had known each other before this, long enough to have achieved some sort of partnership.

"I've long known that His Highness had the power to kill Golden Essence adepts… But I never once imagined that you would also be strong enough to kill off a Dharma adept," Tuo Jin exclaimed.

If he had known earlier that Zhou Donghuang had the power to kill Dharma adepts, then Ci Xuan would never have had to flee in fear of Zhong Ya.

"Lord Tuo Jin, this base will become unoccupied after the Xuanyin Sect falls, and it's a good base… there's a spirit stone vein right under the base."

Ye Wen's eyes gleamed. "Did His Highness Donghuang mention anything about the management of that vein?"

The spirit stone vein of the Xuanyin Sect produced more spirit stones in a year than the one Tianwu Sect's does.

"The Divine Light Sect will relocate here."

Tuo Jin added, "This will be the new base of the Divine Light Sect."

"Your sect is relocating here? Your entire sect?"

Ye Wen stared with wide eyes. "Then what will become of your current base? The spirit stone vein your current sect sits on is far larger than the one here."

"Our current base?" Tuo Jin asked with a chuckle. "That place will belong to His Highness."

This was the agreement he reached with the Divine Light Sect when he had sought them out. The plan was to have the sect relocate from Shenguang Peak to the Xuanyin Sect base.

In exchange for that, Zhou Donghuang promised to help refine spirit weapons for every one of the Divine Light Sect adepts in Late Primal Core.

And it was precisely because of this that the Divine Light Sect—whether it was Lord Tuo Jin or the other higher-ups—was very pleased with the deal.

The downfall of the Xuanyin Sect was something that had already been predetermined when Zhong Ya abducted Chen Dandan three years ago.

Something that was set in motion three years ago had finally come to an end on this day.

"It seems as if His Highness has given the Divine Light Sect no shortage of perks."

It was easy for Ye Wen to come to this conclusion. Not only was Tuo Jin not dissatisfied with having to relocate to a base that was not as good as his current, he actually seemed rather happy.

"Brother… are you leaving soon?"

From up above the Xuanyin Sect base on the back of Little Gold, Yun Lu stared resolutely at Zhou Donghuang, her pretty face marred by a rare show of solemnity.

"Mm."

Zhou Donghuang smiled dotingly as he stroked Yun Lu's hair. "After I've sent Mother to Shenguang Peak and made the necessary preparations… then I'll leave."

Zhou Donghuang had brought up the topic of his departure from Ziyun to Yun Lu a long time ago.

"Brother… will you return?" Yun Lu asked again.

"Of course." Zhou Donghuang nodded. "I can't bear to leave you behind, you brat… Hmm, wait for me to come back. I'll definitely bring you something good."

"I don't want anything good… I just want for you to come home regularly," Yun Lu replied, solemn.

"Alright, alright… Alright."

Zhou Donghuang responded with a smile. At the same time, he scanned the base of Xuanyin Sect. There were swords and knives everywhere, but it was a completely one-sided battle where there was not even a shred of suspense with regards to how the battle will turn out.

The strongest of Xuanyin Sect had been killed by him at the Feast of Ziyun.

Even the strongest of the remaining people were no match for Divine Light Sect Leader Tuo Jin, much less the adepts under the leadership of the Thousand-Year Sect and the Tianwu Sect leaders who had joined the fray.

In just an hour, the dust settled.

"Your Highness, I will have a hundred thousand spirit stones transported to the Divine Light Sect the moment I return. The stones will be handed over to Lord Tuo Jin, who will deliver it to you."

Tianwu Sect Leader Ye Wen brought his men and bowed in greeting to Zhou Donghuang. Ye Wen said, "Also, if time permits, please feel free to stop by our sect… We of the Tianwu Sect will greet you with the warmest welcome!"

"Your Highness, I, too, will have the spirit stones delivered to you as soon as possible… The Thousand-Year Sect awaits your arrival as well," the Thousand-Year Sect Leader declared.

After the battle today at the Feast of Ziyun, both leaders knew full well that the young man clothed in white standing before them was destined to be a god!

The young man had more power than all of the adepts in Ziyun combined. There was no doubt that he was the strongest in all of Ziyun.

Such an existence should be one they had on their sides and not against them.

"Mm."

Zhou Donghuang nodded mildly. He then turned to look towards Divine Light Sect Tuo Jin. "I'm leaving to pick somebody up now, Tuo Jin… You return too, to make your preparations."

"Yes, Your Highness," Tuo Jin replied respectfully.

Shortly after, Little Gold flew up with a flap of its wings, bringing Zhou Donghuang and Yun Lu up with it and disappearing into the clouds.

The people of the big three sects stared in awe up until the eagle had completely disappeared from their sight.

"Lord Tuo Jin, you're rather chummy with His Excellency… Is he really from Ziyun like the rest of us?"

After Zhou Donghuang had left, the Tianwu Sect leader could not help but ask Tuo Jin.

In the history of Ziyun—which spanned more than a thousand years—this was the first time they had seen someone who defied the laws of nature like Zhou Donghuang did. All of them were suspecting that the man in question was not actually from Ziyun.

The leader of the Thousand-Year Sect looked at Tuo Jin as well, clearly curious about the man.

"Lord Ye, I know what you're thinking."

Tuo Jin sighed, then spoke again, "But His Excellency is really from Ziyun."

"I can't believe someone like him is actually from Ziyun," Lord Ye sighed in response.

"After the people who attended the Feast of Ziyun have gone home, they will take this news back with them… It's only a matter of time before the name 'Zhou Donghuang' will spread through the entirety of Ziyun!" Ye Wen exclaimed again. "You can just imagine the history of Ziyun in the future, a lasting one, one where his name will have its own place.

"The few Dharma adepts that have appeared before him simply paled in comparison. He just overshadows them!"

…

Things unfolded exactly as the Thousand-Year Sect Leader Ye Wen had predicted.

In the short span of a few months, there was no one in the whole of Ziyun—barring the remote and desolate outskirts, like the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley and the Fourteen Countries of Southern Jiang—who did not know that name.

Zhou Donghuang.

A late Primal Core adept.

Why did they say that he defied the laws of nature?

He who was barely twenty.

He who had killed the Xuanyin Sect's Golden Essence elder, Qi Ming, a man who stood on top of the entire Ziyun, and then went on to kill Elder Zhong Ya despite the latter having stepped into the Dharma stage!

He who had wiped out the Xuanyin Sect, one of the five great sects of Ziyun, with his own strength.

"Even if the combined strength of all the Golden Essence adepts of the other four great sects of Ziyun is somehow a match for him, the more important thing is that the man is still young. His potential is boundless!"

"Zhou Donghuang will become a prominent figure for Ziyun."

"His Excellency is the role model for the adepts of Ziyun!"

…

It seemed like Zhou Donghuang had become a lifelong goal for many people through the whole of Ziyun, whether they were adepts who had been at Xuanyan City witnessing the man's prowess first-hand, or adepts who had heard of but never seen the man.

There were also a few adepts who had seen Zhou Donghuang in Xuanyan City and committed his image to their memory. They then returned to have his likeness carved out as a statue to be put in their sects and families for worship.

Zhou Donghuang was none the wiser about any of this.

After he had left the base of Xuanyin Sect, he brought his younger sister, Yun Lu, back to Valley of the Medicine Masters. He then picked up his mother, Lin Lan, and the rest of the people back to the base of the Divine Light Sect—Shenguang Peak.

The Valley Head Su Mo immediately commanded that the Valley of the Medicine Masters will disband. Instead, the Donghuang Sect will be established.

His master, Zhou Donghuang, will serve as the founder and first leader of the new sect while he would be the vice-leader, in charge of its general affairs.

After the Divine Light Sect completely uprooted and relocated away from Shenguang Peak, the place had become the base for the Donghuang Sect and was subsequently renamed to Donghuang Peak.

And the Shenguang Empire had been renamed the "Donghuang Empire."

As for the original Valley of the Medicine Masters base, it was not left deserted. It had become a branch base for the Donghuang Sect, to be owned by Lu Qinghu. Lu Qinghu was the former head of the Lu family from Yunfeng Prefecture, the Western Chu Ridge in Yunyang.

"Spread the word to every one of the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley: the Valley of the Medicine Masters is hereby dissolved, and the Donghuang Sect has been established. Detail the deeds of our Donghuang Sect leader, His Excellency, and have it bound into books to be delivered to the royal families of each of the Sixteen Countries. Have them replicate it and circulate it to even the furthest corners of the East Valley."

Following the announcement made by Lu Qinghu, every single person in the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley knew of Zhou Donghuang's deeds not long after.

They also knew that, from this day forth, the new master of the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley was no longer Valley of the Medicine Masters but the Donghuang Sect.

The Valley of the Medicine Masters had now been incorporated into Donghuang Sect.

And the previous Valley Head, Su Mo had declared Zhou Donghuang to be the Donghuang Sect leader.

"To think that there would be so many Primal Core adepts of legends here in Ziyun… This is completely unheard of in the five great empires and the five great sects of Ziyun!"

"So the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley is but a remote village in Ziyun… The five great empires are so vast, tens and hundreds of times more so than the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley. How fascinating."

"Who would have thought that the Xuanyin Sect, which was once part of the five great sects of Ziyun, would have been leveled by someone from our Sixteen Countries of the East Valley… Not only that, but that person was currently the strongest in the whole of Ziyun and has singlehandedly founded Donghuang Sect. He is crowned leader by the Head of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, no less. He seems so much like someone from Yunyang."

"They say that, in the future, the Donghuang Sect will return here to the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley every year to recruit new disciples… The really talented adepts have a chance of being sent to the main sect of the Donghuang Sect."

… .

This year, 1234 of the Ziyun Era, was meant to be an unforgettable one for the people of the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley.

This year, they learned about a lot of things that they had never heard of before.

This year, they knew that an outstanding figure had walked out from the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley. That person was now the Donghuang Sect leader, who had the whole of the Donghuang Empire in his palm.

Of course, the ones who felt this the most were the people in Yunyang.

"Zhou Donghuang… Is it that Zhou Donghuang?"

"It's him."

"The preeminent Lu Family that used to reside at Yunfeng County beneath the Western Chu Ridge… they've been escorted to the Donghuang Sect… That family is also on good terms with Zhou Donghuang—Lu Qinghu of that family has always been following Zhou Donghuang's lead, no less!"

"For a preeminent family like theirs to hit it big in one go like that, they're practically superior to the royal families of the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley!"

"They say that Lu Qinghu is the leader of the Donghuang Sect, and he's now a Primal Core adept!"

"He picked a good man to follow, huh. His master's hit it big, and now he's reaping the benefits as well."

…

A group of high-level officials from the Chu royal household were gathered in the Chu royal city in the Western Chu Ridge. They were sighing and laughing bitterly as they chatted.

If they had befriended Zhou Donghuang instead of making an enemy out of the man in the beginning, this success could have been theirs!

"There are quite a few people in the influential, aristocratic Tang Family who followed the lead of Ren Jiapei, the first lady of the Ren Family, to the Donghuang Sect. I heard that the she was sent directly to the main branch of the Donghuang Sect."

"That's to be expected. Ren Jiapei's on good terms with Yang Zixi, who's always by Zhou Donghuang, but she's also on good terms with Zhou Donghuang himself."

"I heard quite a number of people from the Yang Family are fuming."

"I really didn't think that the young man who had been an adept back then is now standing on top of the entirety of Ziyun, completely peerless!"

…

Qingshan town.

Residence of the Qin Family.

"Miss Xiaoyu, Uncle Zhen, I've been sent by my brother to come pick you up."

The huge black eagle hovered above the front yard of the Qin residence, and on its back sat a young girl who seemed to be around eight or nine years old. When she opened her mouth to speak, her voice seemed to magically carry to the Qin residence below.

Not long after, many people were gathered in the front yard.

"It's Miss Yun Lu, younger sister of Young Master Donghuang!"

"She's come to personally pick up Xiaoyu and Elder Qin Zhen? Are they being brought to the main branch of the Donghuang Sect?"

…

Now, even a small town as remote as Qingshan town was well aware of what had happened regarding Zhou Donghaung.

It was to the extent that a statue of him had been placed in front of the main gates of the Yunxuan Restaurant in the town. There was a tablet on one side of the statue, and carved onto it were the various things that Zhou Donghuang had done after his departure from Qingshan town.

Chapter 209: About to Leave

Sometimes, a single decision could determine your fate.

Within Yunyang, those who were on good terms with Zhou Donghuang were bound to succeed in time to come. Even the Primal Core stage was not an unachievable feat.

As for the people who had made an enemy out of him, they were all wallowing in their regret.

Just like now.

The people watched as the teenage girl and the middle-aged man stepped onto the back of the huge eagle to join the small girl. In the blink of an eye, the giant eagle flew up and into the clouds. The higher-ups of the lesser Qin Family from Qingshan town were filled with regret.

"The Qin Family has missed its chance!"

"If we didn't stop this family from adopting Xiaoyu back then, the Qin Family wouldn't have cut ties with that Young Master Donghuang… I regret it, I really do!"

"Xiaoyu and Qin Zhen are bound to succeed after they leave! And as for us, we're doomed to only look up at them in the days to come."

…

But it was not just the lesser Qin Family from Qingshan town—there were a lot of people who were stewing in regrets.

Like the preeminent Lin Family from the capital of the Yunfeng Prefecture.

If the Lin Family had not chased Lin Lan out, Zhou Donghuang would have been a guest disciple with their family and much, much closer to them than he was with the Lu family.

But alas, because of the Lin Family's miscalculations, they had completely and utterly cut ties with Lin Lan and missed their opportunity with Zhou Donghuang.

"The people of the Lu Family, every last one of them are with the Donghuang Sect now… And the Donghuang Sect is now located where the Valley of the Medicine Masters once was."

"I heard the people of the Lu Family are gifted, all of them are, and all of them stand a chance of being sent to the main branch of the Donghuang Sect. For example, Lu Qinghu, previous head of the Lu Family, is now the leader of the sub-sect, and his son was sent to the main branch of the Donghuang Sect."

"I heard Lu Qinghu is a Primal Core adept now… I remember how he was like back then, and he was nowhere near as competent as our Lin Family head."

"If not for the fact that the family head had kicked Lin Lan out of the family, he would have been a Primal Core adept by now. And the position of the Donghuang Sub-Sect leader would definitely belong to the family head."

"One wrong move is all it takes."

"My God! We of the Lin Family really missed the opportunity of a lifetime!"

…

The disciples and elders of the Lin Family alike were all lamenting and wallowing in regret back in the Lin Residence. No one said it but, deep down, all of them thought the family head must have been blind to have let such a golden opportunity slip through his fingers.

On the other hand, the Lin Family head, Lin Zhuoye, had fallen sick. When he had first heard of how the Zhou Donghuang of today had risen to become such a hulking figure, he was so angry that he became bedridden.

Now the whole of the Yunfeng Prefecture capital was mocking Lin Zhuoye, the foolish head of the Lin Family who had shut his doors on such an opportunity.

"Hahahaha… Serves you right, Chen Dandan! Good kill, it was a good kill!"

Hong Yunfei, the first young master of the Hong Family, had once been chased out of Valley of the Medicine Masters by Chen Dandan. After a desperate return to the Hong Family in the Yunfeng Prefecture capital, he cooped himself up at home to train and rarely left his home.

After he caught wind of the news that Zhou Donghuang had killed Chen Dandan in the Feast of Ziyun, he was overcome with joy. He felt vindicated, like his revenge was complete.

"If I had known that that brat Zhou Donghuang would become the person he is today… I would have succeeded if I just sucked up to that b*itch Chen Dandan and Zhou Donghuang at the same time."

The Hong Family Head, Hong Wei, lamented not taking action when he could have. "Otherwise, I would have been in a decent place now, even if I wasn't as competent as Lu Qinghu."

Now, he was a merely a Qi-Gathering adept, while Lu Qinghu was already a Primal Core adept!

He even looked up to the Connate adepts, much less a Primal Core adept.

"Father! I'm making preparations to take part in the assessment that the Donghuang Sect will host this year at Yunyang. I'm going to do my best to pass the assessment and become a Donghuang Sect disciple!"

Hong Yunfei responded to Hong Wei with a serious face, "The current Donghuang Sect is even stronger than the Valley of the Medicine Masters was… but I still want to join the Donghuang Sub-Sect!"

Of course, there was still one thing he left unsaid.

He wanted to meet the legendary Donghuang Sect leader, Zhou Donghuang. He wanted to personally thank the man for killing Chen Dandan and indirectly exacting his revenge for him!

"Zhou Donghuang, h-he's actually accomplished so much?"

In the Li Residence, Li Rui paled. He never would have expected for Zhou Donghuang to climb up to the top of Ziyun in the span of a few short years.

The Zhou Donghuang of today was just like the sky of Ziyun; with just one word, he could take the life of any person in Ziyun.

He stood on top of the world, and there was no higher place than his.

…

The Donghuang Peak was now the base of the Donghuang Sect.

Of course, the Donghuang Sect had not started recruiting for disciples yet.

The Divine Light Sect left the area completely vacant when they up and relocated, and not a single elder or disciple was left behind.

Of course, that was partially because Zhou Donghuang did not let them leave a single person behind. Otherwise, one word of his and the Divine Light Sect would leave anyone he so wanted.

"Sister Jiapei, I know you like Big Brother Zhou too."

Halfway up Donghuang Peak in a sequestered courtyard, Yang Zixi was currently sitting beside Ren Jiapei who had just arrived at the Donghuang Sect. She held on tightly to Ren Jiapei's hands as she confided.

"Don't worry, Sister Zixi, I… I won't compete with you."

There was a strained smile on Ren Jiapei's face.

"Sister Jiapei, that's not what I mean."

Yang Zixi shook her head. "I just wanted to tell you that you don't have to worry about me if you really like Big Brother Zhou. Because, to be honest, I'm just a third-party to him."

Yang Zixi heaved a huge sigh. "Big Brother Zhou has long had someone else in his mind."

"Who?"

Ren Jiapei's pupils constricted. All along, she had truly believed that Zixi would have been the first choice if he wanted a good partner.

But now, the lady was telling her something else. Big Brother Zhou had been in love with someone else all this time?

"I don't know her either… All I know is that she's not from Ziyun.

"I've asked Xiao Lu before, and she said that the person he's in love with has been a Primal Core adept when she was only twenty."

"A twenty-year-old Primal Core adept who is not from Ziyun. This person must come from an extraordinary background. There's no telling the heights they will soar to in the days to come."

"I'm telling you all this mainly because I want to say that if you really like Big Brother Zhou and you don't mind the fact that he's being surrounded by so many women all the time, you need to train hard to keep in pace with that lady."

"I… I'm thinking the same."

"This is the only way we can be of help to Big Brother Zhou. We might even be recognized by him."

Yang Zixi had kept these words tucked away in a corner of her heart for a very long time and only said it all in front of Ren Jiapei, who was taken aback and fell silent in the face of the confession.

In the next moment, Ren Jiapei's gaze steeled, hardened over by resolve.

"Of course, be that as it may, there's a possibility we won't be by his side in the future… Love is not love without reciprocation.

"But I do think that, since we like Big Brother Zhou, we should at least help him with some tasks or share his burdens, even if we won't end up together."

Yang Zixi fell into a trance as she spoke, her face clouded over with infatuation. "I think it's worth if I get to see him smile."

Lin Lan stood in another secluded courtyard not far off, staring at the two ladies from a distance as she heaved a deep sigh. "Such good girls… It'd be great if one of them could be my daughter-in-law."

"Miss, Young Master Donghuang is all grown up now… Let time take its course with the matters of the heart," Granny Lian said with a smile from where she stood behind Lin Lan.

"Sometimes, I just can't understand what goes through that kid's head."

Lin Lan shook her head. "Leave it. He's leaving Ziyun soon anyway, just let him do what he wants.

"If he sorts out his relationship with those two girls right before he leaves, it wouldn't be fair to them anyway. If we look at how things are now, at least they won't be dealing with too much heartbreak even when Donghuang leaves."

Lin Lan looked up after she said that, looking towards the higher part of Donghuang Peak. "Donghuang's probably more or less done with the spells.

"He'll leave soon, when the time comes."

The depths of Lin Lan's gaze betrayed a sense of reluctance and unwillingness to let him go.

Of course, she had no intention of stopping her son from leaving even if she did not really want him to go, since she knew that her child had his own path to walk.

"A twenty-three-year-old Primal Core adept… Ziyun cannot contain him."

Lin Lan sighed gently.

Zhou Donghuang, clad from head to toe in clothes whiter than snow, was floating high above the apex of Donghuang Peak. He used his finger as a brush, condensing the inner Yuan and using it to draw out intricate patterns and lines on the cliffs.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

…

After carving for some time, spirit stone after spirit stone started falling from between his hands, as if they were not worth much. Every last one fell into one of the patterns he had carved out.

He was currently casting spells to protect the Donghuang Sect.

This would also be the very first protective spell in the whole of Ziyun.

Whether it was the other great four sects of Ziyun of the Xuanyin Sect that Zhou Donghuang had already wiped out, not a single one of them had this spell.

Throughout the entire universe, this spell to protect the sect could only be cast by the sects that had individuals who were at least as strong as Primordial Souls.

Because casting the spell simply required too many resources that the average sect just could not afford.

Even though Zhou Donghuang was carving out the spell now, he was only able to do so by recalling the most basic of the spells and discarding quite a few bits of it.

Otherwise, the resources he had on hand would not be able to sustain this.

"I don't want the defensive spell or any of the other spells. Leave only the offensive spell.

"I'll fill the spirit stones with the offensive spell, enough for it to be activated three times.

"Once the offensive spell is activated, even the early Dharma adepts will not be able to escape from its clutches! Surprisingly, it's also able to injure the mid Dharma adepts."

This was also the trump card that Zhou Donghuang was leaving here before he had to leave this place. He would then leave things in the hands of his mother, Lin Lan, and his sister, Yun Lu.

"Done."

Zhou Donghuang completed the spells after half a month.

Of course, it was not like he had been working on the spells round the clock during that period of time. The spells he had done up were not just to protect the sect, there were also several other energy-gathering positions.

Zhou Donghuang had been practicing during this half-month, and he used what time he had left to do up the spells. As such, his practice was not affected in any way.

"I have to keep mother and Xiao Lu company in the next two days… After those two days, I'll be leaving Ziyun!"

It was late in the night. Zhou Donghuang looked up at the vast sky, dotted with an innumerable amount of stars, eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.

He was finally leaving Ziyun!

He was even more excited than he had been when he had left Earth!

Chapter 210: Leaving the Powerful Supreme Sect of Ziyun

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

During the period of construction of the Donghuang Peak, not only did Zhou Donghuang continue to train hard, he even managed to create some ultimate spirit weapons and superior spirit weapons for those closest to him.

At the same time, he also created a giant batch of core drugs.

Of course, he prescribed a few core drugs specifically for his mother, Lin Lan.

His mother, Lin Lan, was generally a more meticulous person. Furthermore, she trained under the Technique of Everlasting Youth. After she entered the Primal Core stage, she was able to consolidate her Samadhi fire, which was extremely useful for core-forging.

Furthermore, from the way Lin Lan favored certain prescriptions by Zhong Ya, it could be assumed that she was extremely interested in pharmacy as well as alchemy.

Holistically, it was easy to see that Zhou Donghuang's mother, Lin Lan, had the potential to become an outstanding core-forging master.

"Donghuang, with the standard that you are at now, if you stay in the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, I would be assured of your safety and status… However, if you leave us, there are many dangers and obstacles that lie ahead for you outside."

Lin Lan had on a stern expression as she spoke to Zhou Donghuang. "I only have one request for you. Please be careful no matter what!"

"Mother, do not worry." Zhou Donghuang smiled confidently. In the previous world, he had roamed the entire universe and several planets solo for thousands of years before he could be at the peak of it all. With such an experience previously, the infinite universe was nothing terrifying to him as every area was familiar and traversed before.

"Brother, please come back soon… if not, I will miss you very, very much."

Yun Lu had on a face of sadness as she gazed at Zhou Donghuang. After many years of interaction, she had already accepted this teenager before her as her own brother.

"Alright, I'll do as you command." Zhou Donghuang smiled lovingly back at her, indulging her.

Since he had already made all the necessary preparations beforehand, Zhou Donghuang was able to spend his entire day with his mother and sister, telling them all sorts of stories and advising Lin Lan on how to protect the sect.

At the same time, Zhou Donghuang had also prepared some core-forging hearts for his mother, which would allow Lin Lan to face fewer obstacles and issues when core-forging after she had entered the Primal Core stage.

"Donghuang, tomorrow, spend some time with Zixi and Jiapei… It'll be convenient since they live together. When you intend to leave, let me know."

At night, before Zhou Donghuang returned to his living quarters, Lin Lan had said these words to him.

Zhou Donghuang had frozen slightly before nodding casually.

"Alright, sure."

Yun Lu added, "Brother, Sister Zixi and Sister Jiapei are all fond of you… If you leave before spending some time with them, they will be extremely sad."

"Fancy you speaking like a grownup!" Zhou Donghuang said heartily as he glanced at Yun Lu before leaving.

Once he had returned to his room, Zhou Donghuang sat on his bed and took an internal look at his essence point.

Now, within his essence point, 4 Primal Cores were floating within. Two of these Primal Cores were silver and were surrounded by silver inner Yuan. As for the other two Primal Cores, they were gold and surrounded by gold inner Yuan.

For the two Golden Essences, they were rotating endlessly. Even if Zhou Donghuang did not take special care to train them, they would adjust their Qi according to the Lord of the Four Supremes' route and absorb external spirit energy to train itself.

Of course, this was not as effective as when Zhou Donghuang underwent training himself. Nevertheless, this was the specialty of adepts who were at the Primal Core stage and above. Even if there was no deliberate training, the golden Primal Cores within the essence point would still train by itself.

However, as this was self-training, the two Golden Essences would only grow by themselves and would not help the remaining two Silver Essences to train. That responsibility still lay with Zhou Donghuang himself.

"It is most imperative for me to train the two Silver Essences till they become Golden Essences right now," Zhou Donghuang mused to himself.

Now, there was about a year left before the Xuanyan City Inn were to organize the Feast of Ziyun. Previously, Zhong Donghuang's essence point had three Silver Essences and one Shi Essence. Within a years' time, with the help of some rare herbs preserved by the Xuanyin Sect, Zhou Donghuang had greatly improved himself by leaps and bounds. Not only had the Shi Essence been successfully converted to Silver Essence, but two out of three of the Silver Essences had also been converted to Golden Essences.

"With my powers now, even if that fellow I met, Zhong Ya of the Xuanyin Sect, managed to train himself to the Dharma level, I can still use my ultimate spirit weapon to destroy them!" The level of strength and power of Zhou Donghuang now was completely different from that of a year ago.

"Tomorrow, I'll have to face Zixi again… Jiapei, too." Thinking of Lin Lan's instructions, Zhou Donghuang could not help but feel weary. At the same time, he could not help but recall an event of the past with a girl called Luo Qinghan.

"Previously, I thought I had truly fallen for her. However, as time passed, till now… That fluttery feeling that I had towards her has now dulled significantly. If I think hard about it… I don't understand her and she does not understand me. Why should I be so invested in her?

"However, duties still have to be obliged. No matter what she feels, she is still my woman. This is a fact that cannot be changed. As a woman who has been my partner, no other men will be allowed to touch her!"

Once he uttered those words allow, Zhou Donghuang's eyes glinted coldly for a short period of time before they dulled again.

"Although it is true that I do not have many substantial feelings for her, well… They can be developed over time."

…

The next day, Zhou Donghuang followed his mother's instructions and visited Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei's home. Perhaps due to them knowing that Zhou Donghuang was about to leave, Zixi and Jiapei both studiously avoided any sensitive topics when speaking.

"Brother Zhou, do not worry. When you leave the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, I will take good care of Aunty Lin Lan and Yun Lu on your behalf," Yang Zixi said heartily.

"Thank you," Zhou Donghuang replied, smiling.

"Brother Zhou, we'll be waiting for you to return." Ren Jiapei's gaze was rather clouded, and she had a slightly saddened expression on her face.

Around evening time, Zhou Donghuang bid farewell to Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei before heading to visit Fu, Freezing Wind, Zhou Han and Zhou Feng. Zhou Donghuang only left their company in the early morning after instructing them of certain matters, following up on their training and sharing some advice and tips.

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

Before leaving, Zhou Donghuang had left the group with a few words of advice. "Train hard… I hope that when I return, you will all have already entered the Dharma stage."

After hearing these words, Fu and the rest had the understanding that their master, Zhou Donghuang, was to leave for an extremely long period of time. Of course, the expectations that Zhou Donghuang had for Fu and the others were not considered too unreasonable. Within ten years, he would definitely return. With the giant energy-gathering position that he had installed upon the Donghuang Peak, Fu and the others would have their training speeds accelerated. As long as they were hardworking and did not slack off, within ten years, they definitely would be able to cross to the Dharma stage!

…

The next day, as Zhou Donghuang prepared to leave, almost everyone in the Donghuang Peak came forward to send him off:

Lin Lan, Yun Lu.

Yang Zixi, Ren Jiapei.

Fu, Freezing Wind, Zhou Han and Zhou Feng.

Qin Xiaoyu, Qin Zhen.

There were even the golden-crowned eagles, Big Gold and Little Gold.

"Brother Donghuang, I'll be awaiting your return!" Qin Xiaoyu called out to Zhou Donghuang longingly, her eyes red with impending tears.

Now, Qin Xiaoyu was no longer the little girl of the past. She was now a grown woman, and the childish looks of her youth were transformed.

This was unlike Yun Lu, who somehow managed to still look like a little girl of eight, nine years old.

"Within ten years, I'll have to return." In the sky, Zhou Donghuang waved and nodded at the crowd. With a shake of his body, the area surrounding him looked like it was lit up with golden flames.

In the next moment, these golden flames became a shot of golden lightning, shooting up in the sky and disappearing into the clouds.

"Wow…"

Yun Lu, who was maturely holding back her tears, could not help it and ran into Lin Lan's embrace as she burst into tears.

As for the adults, be it Lin Lan, Yang Zixi or Ren Jiapei, tears were similarly streaming down their faces.

Clearly, to allow Zhou Donghuang to leave unburdened, they had been holding back their tears as well.

"Yun Lu, let's not cry anymore," Qin Zhen consoled her daughter. "Remember what Brother Donghuang said? Within ten years, he will be back."

Ten years.

If one did not enter the Primal Core stage, their lives would only be extended to around that number of years.

…

This leave by Zhou Donghuang was done by him alone. He had not brought anyone with him, not even the golden-crowned eagles Big Gold or Little Gold, and instead left them behind to protect the Donghuang Sect.

"The Donghuang Sect is now only left with a few people and is grossly misrepresented. However, when I return, I assume that they would already have developed greatly."

This time, before leaving, Zhou Donghuang had not just placed several energy-gathering positions around the living quarters of Lin Lan, but he had also placed several energy-gathering positions in other areas of Donghuang Peak. Of course, these energy-gathering positions varied in terms of power.

However, even the best of the energy-gathering positions at other parts of the area were quite weak as compared to those that he had placed in Lin Lan's living quarters. Those were simply prepared for the Donghuang disciples that came forward to visit and pray to the Donghuang Peak.

"If I remember correctly, in the entire powerful supreme sect of Ziyun's many planets, none have energy-gathering positions. Let's find the nearest energy-gathering position now, first."

Zhou Donghuang raised his hands, clutching a light blue ball the size of a baby in one of them. This was an "energy-searching bead" that he had invented.

It was used to find the closest energy-gathering position around him and the magic within it would sense others nearby as well.

It had been rather easy to make. As long as one understood the materials needed, even manufacturers of the early Primal Core stage would be able to make such a bead as well.

As for the materials, it was rather flexible, and anything could be used as long as it could withstand the spells it had to hold.

Of course, in the entire powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, other than Zhou Donghuang, 80 to 90 percent of the people did not really know how to make an energy-searching bead. This was because there was no single true alchemist in the entire powerful supreme sect of Ziyun.

In Zhou Donghuang's eyes, a true alchemist would be able to curate an inferior spirit weapon at the very least. If one only knew how to forge sword spheres and space rings, they could not be considered a true alchemist.

Whoosh!

Zhou Donghuang focused his inner Yuan on the energy-searching bead. The energy-searching bead flew forward towards a certain sensed direction, and Zhou Donghuang followed on its tail.

"Now that I've teleported… Where should I go next?"

Zhou Donghuang racked his brains as he followed the energy-searching bead, trying to recall his memories from his previous life.

"It is now the year 1234 in the Ziyun Era. At this time in my past life, I was still on Earth!"

Chapter 211: Galaxy Teleporter

"Although I did meet them in my previous life on Earth, other than lending them a helping hand and meddling with their life tracks at the end, my encounter with them did not really impact their fates or destinies too greatly."

Zhou Donghuang kept the energy-searching bead and increased his speed as he traveled in the direction that the bead had pointed out. He planned to leave all the stars of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun behind and travel out.

"In this life, although I did not reappear on Earth and meet them once more, I am sure that their life tracks have not been disrupted other than those who have met with special incidents.

"Amongst them, by right, the earliest person to meet with an incident would only do so ten years ago… At this point, it is not yet urgent to return to Earth.

"The next time I return to the powerful supreme sect of ZIyun, I'll make a detour to Earth and help them ease their troubles."

Very soon, Zhou Donghuang managed to make up his mind regarding his plans.

"However, before I reach the planet with the teleporter, I need to consider where else I would want to go. For places that I have not yet visited, there is no reason to venture there now as it would be dangerous and risky. There is also lots of uncertainty involved.

"In this world, my greatest advantage comes from having memories from my previous life."

Zhou Donghuang was not a pedantic person. With the advantage of remembering his memories of the past, he of course would not recklessly choose to explore unknowns in this world.

He would simply take whichever route was most ideal.

He already had an advantage and was not foolish enough to relinquish or ignore that!

After all, he was not a fool.

"Let's think hard… Before I left Earth in my previous life, I remember hearing rumors of the appearance of relics or treasures being left behind in certain places."

As Zhou Donghuang hurried on his way, he continued to rack his brains and run through his past memories. He had too many memories from his past life, especially that of the time period after he had left Earth. If he did not actively seek them out one by one, he could not remember the details of any. The memories most clear to him were naturally of the last few hundred years.

As for those memories, there was much information to be gleaned regarding inheritances and relics.

However, they were of not much use to him at this moment. This was because his current powers now were not strong enough for him to gain the inheritances for himself even if he was aware of their whereabouts and how to get them. Since he did not have the means, he could not achieve the desired end result.

Zhou Donghuang was firm that he would not seek to do things that he knew were beyond him.

"I've got it! I'll head down to the Honglong planet of the Tianma galaxy!"

A memory flashed across Zhou Donghuang's mind like a flash of lightning, giving him some inspiration.

The Honglong planet! That was one of the planets that he had visited in his past life. At that time, someone had received a Dharma Peak adept's inheritance.

According to that rumor, that Dharma Peak adept was a non-affiliated practitioner. At the end of his life, he had set up a spell to conceal all traces of his life, lying in wait for someone who, according to fate, would meet him and collect his inheritance.

Afterwards, that place was discovered by a few disciples of a giant sect on the Honglong planet. Naturally, the inheritance was thus passed on to the people of the sect.

That event had been the hottest news on the Honglong planet, and everyone who was not a hermit on the Honglong planet had heard of it as well.

"It seems that that whole thing took place to the north of the Sky Sword Sect of the Honglong planet, in the mountains of the flying beasts… I can't remember the exact name of that mountain, though.

"However, that was where the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect as well as other hardworking youths used to train together. Mm. After I arrive at the Honglong planet, I'll head to where the Sky Sword Sect is located."

Zhou Donghuang made his decision.

"In my previous life, I only found out about this news about 130 years after… However, at that time, the news that had traveled through the Sky Sword Sect had mentioned that the Dharma Peak adept had already lived to about 200 years old.

"That also means that that Dharma Peak adept ended his life 70 years ago. Now, his inheritance has already been placed at his intended location."

"Although I don't know the exact location of the inheritance within the mountain, I am nevertheless sure that it is there. If I am meticulous enough, over time, I'm sure that I will be able to find it."

At this point, Zhou Donghuang was feeling rather confident.

"I hope the teleporter that the energy-searching bead directed me to is in the neighboring area to the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun. If not, I'll still have to travel through other planets and waste a lot of time," Zhou Donghuang mumbled to himself softly.

In his previous life, Zhou Donghuang had been brought to Earth by a mad cultist, and he had traveled through the universe.

As for the stars of the Earth, they had been neighbors of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun. Of course, that was not where Zhou Donghuang was heading towards now.

Now, Zhou Donghuang was heading for another galaxy.

In the galaxy of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, there were no teleporters. This meant that anyone with the intention of visiting the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun had to be randomly transferred here or be transferred to a nearby galaxy and then travel themselves physically. Apart from these two methods, there were no other ways to arrive here.

On the other hand, among the stars of Earth, there were many teleporters. On Earth itself, there was not just one but in fact nine teleporters alone!

Whoosh!

A path was directed by the energy-searching bead, and Zhou Donghuang followed it steadfastly.

Golden flames exploded around him, and his entire being looked like a golden shooting star in the sky, blasting off and leaving sparks in his wake.

A month later, Zhou Donghuang eventually physically arrived at another galaxy. This was because the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun was relatively closer to this galaxy. If he had wanted to go to Earth and had traveled out from the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, with is speed, he would have needed three months at the very least to enter into the galaxy of the Earth.

When he had left the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, the spirit energy of heaven and Earth had already been rather thin. The further he traveled from the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, the thinner the power of the heavenly spirit weapon as well.

All along, Zhou Donghuang had been depending on the spirit stone vein to allow his inner Yuan to revitalize, heal and help him on his way.

Within the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.

"I still can't see the star, and yet the spirit energy has thickened considerably. It seems as if the energy-searching bead has brought me to a teleporter that is on the planet ahead."

After the two-month journey from another planet, Zhou Donghuang could feel that the spirit energy in the air had thickened significantly, and this only continued to increase as he rushed on his way.

In these two months, Zhou Donghuang had approached three planets. However, the three planets did not possess spirit energy, and there were clearly no spirit stone veins present. They were not habitable by man, and there was no one in sight.

"I see it!"

Ten days later, a planet appeared before Zhou Donghuang's eyes. Not only was it larger than Earth, but it was even bigger than the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun.

However, it was not as beautiful as the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, let alone Earth. Earth was the most aesthetic and beautiful planet that Zhou Donghuang had seen to this day, without exception.

"The spirit energy is extremely thick!" A day later, following the lead of the energy-searching bead, Zhou Donghuang arrived at the skies of the teleporter of the planet before him. He easily cut through the air and landed unhurriedly.

The thickness of the spirit energy of this planet far surpassed that of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun.

"In the environment of the powerful supreme sect of ZIyun, it is hard for even Dharma adepts to thrive. However, on this planet, be it Dharma adepts or Primal Core adepts, one can definitely flourish here!"

Zhou Donghuang had to admit this fact as he breathed in the spirit energy deeply. Of course, only planets that had developed Primal Core adepts or those who had visits by Primal Core adepts would even have a teleporter.

The structure behind a teleporter was not complicated nor hard. However, there were requirements for one's level of practice, and only those who were at the Primal Core stage and above could create one.

"I've arrived."

Quickly, using the directions of the energy-searching bead, Zhou Donghuang found the location of the teleporter in a barren desert.

This desert looked empty and desolate. An expansive stone stage stood in the middle of it.

On the stone stage, there were nine separate regions. Each region had complex and detailed prints and images portrayed on them, and they were all identical. Furthermore, at the four corners of the stone stage, they were four giant stone pillars erected. The four giant stone pillars would require at least fifty young people working together to embrace it. They were a hundred feet high and looked extremely glorious. On them, they similarly also had detailed prints and images portrayed on them.

This was a highly accurate galaxy teleporter.

Under the main array, there were nine sub-arrays, and altogether, they could enable nine people to teleport to other planets or stars at the same time.

Furthermore, within the four pillars of this galaxy teleporter, there were three rows of words printed:

The Akiyama galaxy.

The Heyu planet.

The North Desert.

Very clearly, this was the Heyu planet, and the area Zhou Donghuang was in was the North Desert.

Furthermore, the Heyu planet existed on the Akiyama galaxy.

These three lines etched upon the pillar could be said to be the coordinates of this teleporter in the infinite universe. For other planets and galaxies, one could use a teleporter to arrive there.

"Is there anyone here?"

Once Zhou Donghuang had arrived at the stone stage, Zhou Donghuang appeared to have found something, and he furrowed his brows as his gaze landed on one of the pillars.

"Ah, I've been found."

"There's only one target, a Golden Essence adept."

"Leave now."

Three simultaneous voices sounded out brashly from behind the stone pillars, and three figures enveloped in golden flames immediately appeared as well. Within a short period of time, they had surrounded Zhou Donghuang.

"If you don't wish to lose your life, step away quickly!"

Towards the three Golden Essence adepts, Zhou Donghuang retained his neutral gaze and called out somewhat annoyed.

These three Golden Essence adepts had clearly been hiding in wait in the galaxy teleporter and been planning to use the teleporter to ambush adepts who were utilizing it.

Only Primal Core adepts and above were able to use a galaxy teleporter.

This was why be it someone who had traveled here or someone being sent away, they would be of a rather privileged background.

For those who lay in wait here, it was equally likely for them to would meet someone weaker or stronger than them. This was not the first time Zhou Donghuang had met people like this; he had had plenty of experience back in his past life.

Of course, he had only ever met such people on planets with Primal Core adepts.

On planets that housed those stronger than Primal Core adepts, it was hard to meet people like this as they would not want to risk their lives.

If someone from the Dharma stage and above did not take action, it was usually hard to distinguish them, unless the adepts of the Primal Core stage and above used their Divine Will to investigate the situation.

However, for the adepts of the Primal Core stage and above, they did not generally join the ranks of those who lay in wait at teleporters to ambush people.

Chapter 212: Arrival at Honglong Planet

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

For the three Golden Essence adepts who were surrounding Zhou Donghuang, they were momentarily stunned upon hearing his words.

After recovering from their initial shock, they glanced at each other and could not help but laugh out loud. "Hahaha… what a joke! He is merely a Golden Essence adept and he dares to challenge us?"

"Does he think he is a Dharma adept?"

"Ridiculous!"

The three Golden Essence adepts laughed at Zhou Donghuang mockingly. At the same time, they brandished a weapon, two knives and a sword. Their Golden Essence inner Yuan was embedded within these tools, and golden light shone around them.

"Three superior spirit weapons?"

Zhou Donghuang's brows furrowed.

He had not imagined that these random three Golden Essence adepts challenging him would all own superior spirit weapons… Superior spirit weapons could enhance one's inner Yuan by sixty percent!

In the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, due to the limited nature of resources, Zhou Donghuang had been unable to gift all his closest friends and family with an ultimate spirit weapon. Most of them merely had one superior spirit weapon each.

"Well… perhaps this planet does not even house any Primal Core adepts. if that is the case, they would be much more superior to the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun. Any random Golden Essence adept would be able to own a superior spirit weapon."

As he thought about this, Zhou Donghuang felt relieved.

"Since you all don't feel like leaving, you can stay if you wish."

Zhou Donghuang spoke again with a neutral tone. This time, in his right hand, he held up a heavenly spirit weapon fan, which was exploding in golden flames with golden inner Yuan embedded in it.

"A heavenly spirit weapon?"

The three Golden Essence adepts were all not sheltered like the people of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun. They could immediately identify that the object Zhou Donghuang was holding onto was a heavenly spirit weapon.

On the Heyu planet, there weren't even alchemists that could create Dharma heavenly spirit weapons, let alone normal spirit weapons.

Furthermore, even if there were alchemists who could create Dharma heavenly spirit weapons, they may not have been able to create ultimate spirit weapons as those were extremely hard to make.

Ultimate spirit weapons' spells were extremely complicated and were about ten times more complex as compared to the spells of Dharma heavenly spirit weapons.

On Heyu planet, alchemists who could create ultimate spirit weapons were extremely rare and these few alchemists were also mostly unsuccessful in their attempts.

Because of that, the Heyu planet's ultimate spirit weapons were mostly in the hands of disciples coming from bigger families and sects.

"Wow! It's an ultimate spirit weapon! We're so lucky!"

"Wow, this is a lucky encounter!"

"Let's get him!"

The three Golden Essence adepts' faces lit up with greed. Almost simultaneously, they reached out with their knives and sword. With a giant glint of golden glow, like three beams of golden light, they rushed towards Zhou Donghuang.

"Are you all really risking your lives?"

Towards this attack by the three Golden Essence adepts, Zhou Donghuang could not help but shake his head and sighed. The golden glow surrounding him increased exponentially within the next few instants.

As for the inner Yuan of the fan in his hand, well, its power increased exponentially as well.

Zhou Donghuang's golden inner Yuan within his essence fused together perfectly and exploded together. They added an extra layer of power to the ultimate spirit weapon and made it even stronger, sucking in even in the energy of the surrounding air.

Whoosh!

Zhou Donghuang moved forward to clash with one of the knife-wielding Golden Essence adepts. He was fully faster than the other party and easily brushed past him.

Boom!

Bright and golden light shone as the Golden Essence adept's brain was sent flying into the sky.

Whoosh!

Before the other two Golden Essence adepts could recover from this shocking scene, their faces changed as yet another Golden Essence adept's brain flew into the air.

There was only one Golden Essence adept left, and he screamed wildly to himself internally, "What kind of monster is this!? His inner Yuan is thicker than ours combined! How could there be such a difference? Who is he? Is he really a human being!?"

Boom!

The last Golden Essence adept was sent on his way along with his fallen comrades. With a trail of blood floating in the air, the last brain was sent flying as well.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The three brains landed on the ground consecutively within the time it took for one to take a singular breath.

While this happened, Zhou Donghuang casually put away the objects and space ring previously owned by the three Golden Essence adepts.

"The quality of the three objects are all rather decent… it is just a pity that the technique used by the alchemist was too poor. I need to remanufacture these items, but it is possible to convert them all into ultimate spirit weapons.

"As for these three space rings, they are made of better space stones than the one on my own ring. I should play around with them to allow my ring to have more internal capacity.

"As suspected… this planet has many mid-quality spirit stones."

In the space rings left behind by the three Golden Essence adepts, they all encompassed a number of unusual spirit stone veins. Among which, there were mid-quality spirit stones. Normally, for a mere Golden Essence adept, unless they were of significant background, they could not be rich enough to own such items. In the infinite universe, one mid-quality spirit stone was worth the price of about ten inferior spirit stones combined.

These three Golden Essence adepts had all gotten these items through their robberies and wit. Although they did not have much background, their luck was rather good, and thus, they were considerably wealthy from their deeds.

They were simply unlucky to have met Zhou Donghuang this time.

Now, Zhou Donghuang possessed the inner Yuan of a Primal Core adept as well as thousands of years of fighting experience from his past life within his head. He also possessed an ultimate spirit weapon… Even Dharma adepts in the entire universe would not be able to win against him easily, and competitors would be hard to come by.

Of course, there would still be rare exceptions.

This universe was huge and included many, many species and races, of which, they were some which were naturally primed for battle. As for Zhou Donghuang, he was merely one of the more experienced people out of the entire universe.

Of course, in the entire universe, he was part of the biggest race, the humans, who took up about eighty percent of the overall population.

Other bigger races included beasts, which were about ten percent of the overall population.

The remaining ten percent was made up of the other races.

"It's time to go."

After putting away the products he had salvaged, Zhou Donghuang ascended the stone stage within a flash of light and landed on one of the subarrays of the galaxy teleporter.

At the same time, Zhou Donghuang threw ten mid-quality spirit stones at a long notch before him.

This notch was huge and could hold hundreds of spirit stone veins.

Once the ten mid-quality spirit stones hit the notch, a strange and invisible power enveloped Zhou Donghuang's body. At this point, Zhou Donghuang started to chant place names to himself.

Tianma galaxy.

Honglong planet.

Sky Sword Sect.

Using the galaxy teleporter, different adepts of different powers used different amounts of spirit stone veins.

For Primal Core adepts, if they only wished to cross stars within one planet, they only required one mid-quality spirit stone. Ten spirit stone veins were sufficient as well.

As for Dharma adepts, if they used the galaxy teleporter, they needed to pay about ten times the price of a Primal Core adept.

Traveling within a planet would require ten mid-quality spirit stones or one high-quality spirit stone.

At this point, they could even use one hundred inferior-quality spirit stones to carry out this transaction.

As for crossing planets, one then needed a hundred mid-quality spirit stones, ten high-quality spirit stones or one ultimate-quality spirit stone.

At this point, no matter how many one had, inferior-quality spirit stones would be useless.

This was because the teleporter could only carry one hundred spirit stone veins at maximum.

As for Primal Core adepts who used the galaxy teleporter, they had to pay ten times that of the price of a Dharma adept…

If this were the past life of Zhou Donghuang, for those who had the ability, if they wanted to use the galaxy teleporter to travel across planets, they would need one hundred ultimate-quality spirit stone!

Hua!

Hualala!

Almost immediately after Zhou Donghuang had completed the recitation of his destination, the prints below him suddenly lit up into a field of light. The four pillars surrounding him lit up as well.

In the next moment, Zhou Donghuang's entire body was enveloped by light.

A second later, the glow faded and Zhou Donghuang was nowhere to be found as if he had simply disappeared.

The mid-quality spirit stones in the notch had disappeared as well.

The galaxy teleporter's stone stage and stone pillars all returned to their original stage of calm as if nothing had happened.

To Zhou Donghuang, in that instant where he was enveloped by the force that had shot out from the galaxy teleporter, lights had flashed before his eyes, and the view had changed to become that of another galaxy teleporter.

In reality, this galaxy teleporter was almost identical to the previous one.

However, due to the difference in landing area, Zhou Donghuang could identify that this had to be another galaxy teleporter. Furthermore, the three lines of words written on the four stone pillars surrounding the galaxy teleporter were different as well.

Tianma galaxy.

Honglong planet.

Sky Sword Sect.

Clearly, he had arrived at his destination.

This, of course, was the Honglong planet of the Tianma galaxy.

Of course, although the coordinates indicated that this was the Sky Sword Sect, it only indicated that the Sky Sword Sect was nearby and definitely not within the sect itself.

This was only to be expected as else, any random stranger would be able to easily trespass into the sect!

This galaxy teleporter was most likely to be planted by the Primal Core adepts of the Sky Sword Sect to enable the people of the sect to easily travel to other stars and planets.

"Sky Sword Sect should be that way."

This galaxy teleporter was located in the mountains and forests. Zhou Donghuang saw that not far away, a few high peaks could be seen and he remembered from his past life that that was the home of the Sky Sword Sect.

"Now, it's time to visit the north side of the Sky Sword Sect, visit that mountain and find the inheritance left behind by the Dharma Peak adept!"

Zhou Donghuang went on his way towards the direction of the north of the Sky Sword Sect.

On the way, Zhou Donghuang's thoughts moved to that of the galaxy teleporter.

"The galaxy teleporter is not that hard to draw on. As long as someone is Primal Core stage ad above, as long as they remember the correct details, they can etch on the teleporter and set one up… On the other hand, if one wanted to explore it thoroughly and study the science behind the galaxy teleporter, it may be hard."

"Time travel… Even I, from another life, am unable to figure it out, let alone the normal people of this world who have only lived one life…"

"The back of the galaxy teleporters… feels as if there is the shadow of the divine realm from all the folktales."

"It's as if there was the divine realm all along and under the rules governing the infinite universe, those who are Primal Core adepts and above would be able to use the Primal Core stage to utilize and activate the galaxy teleporters."

"The source of the galaxy teleporter's maps and diagrams are hard to trace… In fact, it may even be impossible. If I really wish to do so, I'd have to trace back to the ancient times and before!"

Chapter 213: Disciples of the Sky Sword Sect

"Forget it, let's not think about that anymore. The secrets of the galaxy teleporter are too complex for me to ever understand or comprehend. It's useless for me to ponder about such things now…"

Once Zhou Donghuang had rationalized his thoughts, he casually let go of them.

"I've traveled to Honglong planet before in my past life. Coincidentally, I had had a breakthrough at that point and had stayed here for a while… After hearing that there was an inheritance left behind by a Dharma Peak adept, I had even visited this particular area out of interest.

"At that time, I was just a normal Primal Core adept. I simply wanted to poke my nose in and explore the possibility of doing some excavating myself. Of course… I wasn't the only one with such thoughts.

"However, at that time, the beast mountain had been secured by the Sky Sword Sect, and it was a wasted journey."

With his past experience, Zhou Donghuang had retained a considerable amount of knowledge on the Sky Sword Sect.

For the Honglong planet, at this moment, they had a Primal Core adept. However, he only had tens of years left in his life. In his previous life, when Zhou Donghuang was visiting the Honglong planet, he had already heard that this Primal Core adept only had tens of years left.

The Sky Sword Sect was considered a rather decent sect among the Honglong planet. It was considered a favored sect as their sect had a Dharma Peak adept that had trained within before.

Because of that, to a training sanctuary where, many years ago, a Dharma Peak adept had left his inheritance, the Sky Sword Sect had become extremely protective and would definitely not allow outsiders to get their hands on this treasure.

"I've arrived."

As Zhou Donghuang was lost in his thoughts, he took a second to glance ahead and saw that there was a wide mountain right in front of him that was lush with greenery. The path up the mountain was tedious and winding. After spinning in the air, Zhou Donghuang realized that he could not find anything at all.

"There's no Divine Will and thus, I can't stay in the air long enough to check out the situation below."

As Zhou Donghuang landed, he shook his head and sighed. "Divine Will can only be formed after the Primordial Soul stage… The me now is still far from being able to do so."

Zhou Donghuang, who trained under the Lord of the Four Supremes, was now approaching the Dharma stage. Of course, he was nowhere near the Primordial Soul stage at this moment, which was above the Dharma stage.

"Since I can't see much from above, let me go in and check it out… Although it may waste time, it's better than being lost and confused."

After cutting through a part of the forest, Zhou Donghuang entered the mountain and planned to crawl through to explore the entire mountain and find the inheritance that the Dharma Peak adept had left behind.

"Hm?"

Just as he had landed, Zhou Donghuang felt a slight vibration of the ground.

Just as he turned around, he saw that there was a giant wolf with a thick, sharp black coat running towards him from afar. It stared at him with bloodshot eyes as if it was summoning all its energy.

The giant wolf ran at an extremely fast pace, and its strides were big.

"A Connate-level demon?"

Zhou Donghuang could immediately see that this giant wolf was actually a late Connate Connate demon.

In the eyes of Zhou Donghuang now, this sort of beast was no different from a mere insect.

"Roar…"

The giant wolf did not seem to sense its impending danger. Although it was intelligent, the man before him only looked to be about twenty years old and did not seem to pose any threat.

Within an instant, the giant wolf arrived before Zhou Donghuang and attacked with its jaws wide open. Its teeth had saliva dripping from then and it looked extremely menacing.

Zhou Donghuang did not move much physically but a rush of silver inner Yuan rushed from his body, suspended in the air like a giant silver palm and hit the giant wolf on the head.

Ha!

With a giant clap, the giant wolf's body, which was rushing forward, suddenly froze midair and it collapsed onto the ground without a sound. Its giant brain had been destroyed and the brain juices were flowing all over the floor.

After killing the giant wolf, Zhou Donghuang did not bother to give it a second glance and begin surveying his surroundings. He wanted to check if the place of death of the Dharma Peak adept was nearby.

"It's the Black Wolf King!"

Out of a sudden, a woman's shout of shock came from behind and Zhou Donghuang instinctively turned around.

With his peripheral vision, Zhou Donghuang could see that a young woman had run here from afar and was crouching beside the giant wolf he had killed. This young woman was dressed modestly in green, had a clean appearance, could be considered pretty and was wielding a long sword on her back.

Following on her heels were two other young men.

Be it the young woman dressed in green or the two young men, both looked about the same age as Zhou Donghuang and could be assumed to be around 20.

"It really is the Black Wolf King."

A young man dressed in grey and holding an equally long sword reached where the young lady was and glanced at the dead wolf. "My goodness! What power! Someone directly exploded this Black Wolf King's brain… The person who killed him must be really strong!"

"Did you kill the Black Wolf King?"

The last young man dressed in green, who was rather handsome and gave off a confident aura, did not chase forward with his soft sword unlike the rest. Instead, he glanced warily at Zhou Donghuang.

Zhou Donghuang was standing a distance away from the wolf. As the young lady and previous young man had been focusing on the corpse of the giant wolf, they had not noticed him.

Now, hearing their friend's voice, they turned to glance at Zhou Donghuang and expressions of confusion and fear filled their eyes.

Could this young man dressed in white and well-groomed be the one who had really killed the Black Wolf King?

One had to know that the Black Wolf King was not any random late Connate-level demon. Unless one were an extremely strong late Connate adept or of the ultimate Connate stage and above, it would be impossible for one to kill the Black Wolf King alone.

Now, the Black Wolf King's corpse lay motionless and was untreated. This young man dressed in white was standing nonchalantly nearby and it could be assumed that he was indeed the killer.

"Mm."

Zhou Donghuang nodded lightly although he got excited internally. He opened his mouth and asked, "Are you… disciples of the Sky Sword Sect?"

"Yes." The young lady affirmed this while asking hesitantly, "Are you not?"

Zhou Donghuang shook his head.

"You aren't?"

The young lady in green's nostrils flared slightly as she got a shock. Similarly, the young man dressed in grey also had on a face of shock.

As for the confident young man dressed in green, at this moment, his brows also furrowed slightly. They all clearly had never thought that this man who had killed the Black Wolf King was not from their sect.

The young lady in green had just been thinking whether this man dressed in white could have been a fellow disciple.

This was because in the surrounding cities, other than Sky Sword Sect, there were no other sects of families that were stronger.

As for these other sects and families, it was impossible for them to develop a late Connate adept at such a young age, let alone an ultimate Connate adept.

"Are you an ultimate Connate adept?"

This time, Zhou Donghuang did not open his mouth and merely shook his head before looking away and continuing to survey his surroundings, looking out for the place of death of the Dharma Peak adept.

"No?"

Seeing Zhou Donghuang shook his head, the three assumed then that Zhou Donghuang was merely a mid Connate adept, probably an elite one at that.

Only late Connate adepts and above would be able to kill this giant wolf alone, after all.

"Friend."

At this point, the young man dressed in grey glanced meaningfully at the young woman before looking at Zhou Donghuang again and speaking extremely courteously.

"This Black Wolf King that you killed was our target as well… We want a pair of its teeth and the wolf's heart. Are you willing to share it with us? Name your price," the young man in green glanced at Zhou Donghuang and said lightly.

When Zhou Donghuang had shaken his head in response to their query on whether he was an ultimate Connate adept, this man had noticed that there had been a change in his gaze.

At first, it was fear. Now, it was indifference.

Zhou Donghuang glanced blankly at the young man in green before looking to the young man in grey, who was more polite. "I never wanted the items on that wolf. If you want it, you can have it."

"You never wanted them?"

The young man in green became even more suspicious.

The late Connate Black Wolf King had treasures all over his body. If someone of the late Connate stage and above killed it, the person would surely raid the wolf of all its treasures.

This young man dressed in white was merely a mid Connate adept and yet was cocky enough to pretend he did not care for these treasures?

What a joke!

Just as the young man dressed in grey had frozen and opened his mouth once more, before he could finish his sentence, the entire ground vibrated violently and he was unable to continue.

A second later, five whole wolves similar to the one lying on the ground had appeared before the group. They stood in a pack and glanced silently at Zhou Donghuang.

Occasionally, they glanced at the wolf that Zhou Donghuang had killed and expressions of rage and hatred appeared in their eyes. Their coat of fur was standing upright and alert.

"Haha… I didn't think we would be so lucky. Another five wolves have appeared. Alright, we do not need to take treasures from this man anymore. We can get them ourselves."

The young man in green smiled.

"Five Black Wolf Kings."

The young lady in green glanced at the wolves, shell-shocked. "Zhao Si, Xie Yu and I can only defeat one at most if we work together. Are you sure you can fight the rest?"

This young lady and the man in grey had only entered the late Connate stage not long ago. Their skills were only about that of a weak late Connate adept and definitely could not face a wolf alone.

"Ru Lan, do not worry. This is a piece of cake for me."

The young man in green, Zhao Si, smiled confidently. "Join forces with Xie Yu to kill one of the wolves. Allow that rather skilled young man to take two others. Within twenty breaths, I'll be able to kill the remaining two and help you all out later on."

Just as he had assured Ru Lan, Zhao Si glanced at the young man in white who was still looking around and barked a command at him assuredly. "Lad, if you don't want to die, do as I say!"

Chapter 214: Justice Will Prevail

"Useless fellow, did you hear what I said? Are you deaf?"

Seeing as Zhou Donghuang had ignored his instructions and was continuing his stroll, Zhao Si's face changed into a nasty expression.

"Awoo…"

Perhaps it was Zhao Si's yelling that annoyed them, but the five wolves began to rush towards Zhao Si after letting out a united cry.

Within a second, they had surrounded Zhao Si.

"Damn it!"

This scene made Zhao Si's expression change to one of extreme anxiety.

Previously, he had been focusing on Zhou Donghuang and had not noticed that the wolves were surrounding him.

If not, as someone of the ultimate Connate stage, he would have at least ensured that he did not allow himself to be trapped and surrounded like this.

The five Black Wolf Kings stared steely at Zhao Si with bloodshot eyes, and this caused goosebumps to rise on his arms.

Although he was an ultimate Connate adept, he had also only just reached this stage.

If it were one Black Wolf King, he would be able to kill it easily.

If it were two Black Wolf Kings, he would probably be able to take them on.

If it were three Black Wolf Kings, it would be a gamble of life and death.

If it were four Black Wolf Kings and he had ten lives, he would die nine times out of ten.

Now, with five Black Wolf Kings, there was no way he could live!

"Young man, if we die… You will definitely die as well! I urge you to do something!"

Zhao Si observed the five Black Wolf Kings warily while glancing occasionally at the young man dressed in white. His tone had changed slightly, but it was still full of arrogance.

Just as Zhao Si had said these words, the wolves let out more cries.

"Awoo…"

"Awoo…"

The five Black Wolf Kings shot forward simultaneously like five bolts of lightning and rushed towards Zhao Si from all directions, their jaws wide open and their pearly whites flashing under the sunlight.

"Zhao Si!"

The young man dressed in grey's face changed, and his body curled forward like a cat, with his long sword out as well. With a pierce of the sword, he managed to hit one of the five Black Wolf Kings.

This one Black Wolf King had no choice but to turn his attention to this sword instead of Zhao Si and he now glanced at Xie Yu instead.

Whoo!

The young lady in green followed her friend and took action as well. The long sword of hers was thrust forward, and with a green flash of light, she joined the battle with Xie Yu in an attempt to fend off the Black Wolf King the former had distracted.

However, even with their combined attempts, in handling a Black Wolf King, it was rather tiring and stressful.

On the other hand, for Zhao Si, it was even tougher as he was facing four Black Wolf Kings alone. He looked extremely weary as all he could do was bank on his speed and attempt to dodge the four wolves' attacks.

The qi of the four Black Wolf Kings was not much, and it only had a range of one foot, but it was extremely solid.

In comparison, Zhao Si's qi was three-feet long, but it was rather incomplete and was not very formidable.

"Friend, please help us."

After identifying Zhao Si's plight, Xie Yu smiled bitterly at Zhou Donghuang while he fought alongside the young lady beside him against the Black Wolf King. "I know Zhao Si is not the most pleasant person to interact with. However, with the situation now, if you don't help us out, once Zhao Si dies, we will die as well!

"I apologize on his behalf."

Be it Xie Yu or the girl beside him, both could easily tell that the young man dressed in white was displeased with Zhao Si as he had not responded to any of Zhao Si's calls all along.

Zhao Si was disrespectful and arrogant. They were well aware of this and were still often annoyed with his manners after all this time. As a stranger, Zhou Donghuang would of course have been annoyed as well.

Just now, Zhao Si's tone was extremely cocky and condescending, making it irritating to the ears. If they were in Zhou Donghuang's shoes, they would have been ticked off as well.

That was correct.

Towards Zhao Si, Zhou Donghuang did not have a good impression at all.

However, he was still rather amicable towards the other two.

Since the other two had spoken, Zhou Donghuang stopped glancing around casually and turned to see the skewed fight.

Well, it would be more accurate to say he was glancing at the pitiful sight of an ultimate Connate adept in battle.

The other two were still doing well as they were fighting together against a single Black Wolf King.

Just as Zhou Donghuang was able to activate the silver inner Yuan within him to kill the group of Black Wolf Kings, Zhao Si yelled out.

"Why did the two of you have to apologize to him!?"

Zhao Si's call was full of rage. "If we die, he will die as well! If he doesn't take action, he'll be risking his own life!"

"Well, I've changed my mind now. If he's to die too, he must die in front of us!"

Just as he had spoken, Zhao Si's eyes were full of explosive rage, and he casually waved his sword around, forcing the Black Wolf Kings to momentarily take a step back. He put his foot down and decided to ignore the issue of having limited qi. He simply forcibly left the trap by the four Black Wolf Kings and rushed towards Zhou Donghuang like a flash of lightning.

The four Black Wolf Kings rushed forward in pursuit.

"Die, stupid fellow!"

Zhao Si's eyes were now filled with a maniacal expression. It was as if he had lost all rational thought and was about to die alongside the person he wanted to kill!

Psh!

Zhao Si's sword flew straight through the air like a poisonous snake and headed in the direction of Zhou Donghuang. Specifically, it was aiming for Zhou Donghuang's throat.

"Zhao Si, have you gone mad!?"

"Stop it!"

Zhao Si's friends stared at this scene, aghast, and frantically yelled at Zhao Si to stop his actions.

Had Zhao Si really and truly gone mad?

Of course not.

Just now, in dodging the attacks of the Black Wolf Kings, he had used up a lot of his qi, and he was well aware of it. Even if the young man in white were to take action and be able to distract two out of the four Black Wolf Kings, he did not have the capability to kill the remaining two on his own and would probably lose his life even so.

He thus decided to explode with all his remaining qi in a short period of time, rushing forward and hopefully causing the four Black Wolf Kings to change their targets and aim for Zhou Donghuang instead. He would then use this opportunity to break free and escape.

Well, if he did so, he knew that he would have to abandon his two counterparts.

"Is he trying to escape at such a crucial time, in the middle of the battle?"

Zhou Donghuang stood where he was calmly and did not take any action. He had seen Zhao Si put away his sword during the previous moment and knew what his plan was.

"Young man, although I want to kill you, you have allowed me an opportunity to escape. I'll leave your life in the hands of the Black Wolf Kings then! Hahaha… hahahaha…"

In the instant where Zhao Si brushed past Zhou Donghuang, he had even laughed aloud as he had assumed that the four Black Wolf Kings would definitely kill Zhou Donghuang and allow him time to run away.

At this moment, the other two friends suddenly realized that Zhao Si intended to leave them behind and save his own skin!

Their faces changed in an instant.

If Zhao Si escaped and the young man in white were to die, they were both doomed as well!

Wait… What happened in the next instant made them freeze in shock again.

Wait!

What exactly were they seeing?

Was… was this real?

Were they dreaming?

Under their shocked gazes, that young man in white, who had been sacrificed by Zhao Si and thrown to the wolves, had risen up in the sky like a deity at the most crucial moment, causing the four Black Wolf Kings to leap up and howl.

Once the four Black Wolf Kings had leapt up and continued to chase Zhao Si, due to Zhao Si's depleting qi, they quickly closed the gap between them and Zhao Si.

With such a progression, within the next few seconds, Zhao Si would be killed.

"This is not good!"

As the two had been completely enraptured by the stunt of the young man in white, they had completely forgotten about their own battle. As they regained focus, they realized the last Black Wolf King was hurtling towards them.

Now, even if they wanted to defend against it, it was too late.

Boom!

Just as the two had prepared for the moment of death, an explosive silver palm appeared from the sky and directly smashed the Black Wolf King to the ground, grinding him flat.

The Black Wolf King instantly died before their eyes, just as the first Black Wolf King had died.

"A silver… Silver Essence adept!?"

Just as the two were sighing in relief, their hearts were beating fast at the same time as they had never imagined that this young man dressed in white before them, who was about their age, could be a Silver Essence adept!

Even the most talented disciple in their age range in the Sky Sword Sect was merely at the early Primal Core stage.

"What happened!?"

On the other hand, Zhao Si had assumed that he had successfully used the young man in white as bait and distracted the four Black Wolf Kings. However, he realized that the thunderous footsteps behind him were getting heavier and louder.

He quickly turned his head and saw the young man dressed in white floating in the air.

"A silver… Silver Essence adept!?"

Zhao Si's face changed dramatically, and with this moment of distraction, he tripped and fell clumsily to the ground.

Within that instant, the four Black Wolf Kings caught up with him and attacked.

"Help me! Help me!"

In his moment of desperation, Zhao Si glanced at the young man floating in the sky and opened his mouth to beg for assistance. To him, he knew that if this Silver Essence adept took action, he would be able to live.

"Justice shall prevail here!" Zhou Donghuang merely glanced at Zhao Si lightly and said these words unhurriedly before going back down to the ground at his own speed.

As for Zhao Si, he was torn to bits by the four Black Wolf Kings immediately.

Once they had killed their prey, the four Black Wolf Kings turned to glance at Zhou Donghuang. They were intelligent and knew he would pose more of a threat. After hesitating slightly, they simultaneously bounded off towards the far forests.

Everything went back to normal then.

"Thank you good sir for saving us!"

At the same time, the two remaining disciples of the Sky Sword Sect thanked Zhou Donghuang profusely at the same time. Their eyes shone with gratitude and admiration.

"Mm."

Zhou Donghuang nodded to the two of them before leaving this part of city. Just now, he had already examined it all closely and he had not found any trace of the inheritance that the Dharma Peak adept had left behind.

It was time for him to try another location.

Seeing as Zhou Donghuang was leaving, the two Sky Sword Sect disciples regained their senses and glanced warily at the corpse of their friend, Zhao Si, on the ground with hatred in their eyes.

"I can't believe this fellow Zhao Si was thinking of abandoning us and escaping on his own!"

"Hmph! He deserved to die like this, the selfish bastard!"

Towards Zhao Si's death, they did not feel any pity as Zhao Si had betrayed them and turned them against him.

"However… Zhao Si's father is the fourth elder, after all. We better find an excuse for this as we cannot allow him to know that Zhao Si died while with us."

"Yes, that is true. We are not as strong as Zhao Si, but we managed to survive. With the fourth elder's favoritism and bias, he would not be pleased at all, and we will have to suffer if he finds out."

Chapter 215: Divine Soul Shaper

After separating from the two disciples of the Sky Sword Sect, Zhou Donghuang began patiently scouring through the beast mountain to find the place of burial of the Dharma Peak adept, although it was somewhat like finding a needle in a haystack.

One day passed to no avail.

Two more days passed to no avail as well.

…

Zhou Donghuang used a grand total of five days to find the suspected place of burial of the Dharma Peak adept. Of course, before he confirmed it, it could only be said to be the suspected place.

That was because it was hidden too well.

"It's hidden too deep in… If not for the two beasts killing each other and knocking over the thorns here, loosening the ground, I would not have found it at all."

Zhou Donghuang glanced at the cracks in the ground formed by the broken thorns, broke through these cracks and saw that there was a dark cave passage hidden below.

Beside Zhou Donghuang, two giant creatures were lying on the ground without making any sounds. These were the two Connate beasts that had been fighting and killing each other.

Once Zhou Donghuang had appeared, they had stopped fighting and turned to attack Zhou Donghuang instead. They then ended up dying in his hands.

"These few days… I've visited this place at least three times and never discovered it till now."

With a shake of his head and a sigh, Zhou Donghuang raised his palms, and a silver glass palm rushed out, cracking apart the passage with a giant "boom!"

The crack could fit a middle-aged man passing through and was suitable in size for Zhou Donghuang.

"I must be right, it has to be here!"

Zhou Donghuang walked into the cave passage and there were no obstructions to be found. Finally, he entered a dark cave house. With Zhou Donghuang's inner Yuan forming into Samadhi fire, the entire cave house suddenly lit up.

The cave house was not extremely spacious and was rather simplistic in design.

On the floor, in the middle of the ground, a man was sitting cross-legged. He was now a bag of bones, and his entire body's clothes were torn and tattered. On the middle finger of his left hand, he wore a space ring.

Other than that, there was nothing else left in this room.

"Thank you."

Zhou Donghuang bowed towards the skeleton-like figure before removing the space ring that was on his hand. Afterwards, he checked the room to ensure that there were no other valuable items before retreating out.

"No one else will ever disturb your valuable peace again."

After leaving the cave house, Zhou Donghuang waved his hands, causing the entire cave passage to shake and collapse. He then settled the thorns at the entrance of the cave house such that it looked ordinary enough before going on his way.

"I can't believe this space ring is actually a galaxy space ring!"

Zhou Donghuang had wanted to explore whatever was in the space ring. However, it did not respond at first until he pinched his fingers and dripped a drop of blood from the torn flesh onto it.

Only a galaxy space ring required the owner's drop of blood as a recognition and activation method.

Furthermore, for a galaxy space ring, its inner capacity was at least three square feet and above. The biggest galaxy space ring could even be ten square feet… If ten feet were translated to Earth's current measurements, it would be about over thirty meters.

Now, Zhou Donghuang's galaxy space ring in his hand had an inner capacity of a perfect square that had a length of more than twenty Earth meters.

This was considered a better than average galaxy space ring.

Furthermore, a galaxy space ring had the following advantage: Even if it was stolen by someone else, as long as the owner was alive and it did not abandon its owner, no one else could retrieve the items within it.

"Let's see what there is inside…"

Zhou Donghuang began to explore what the Dharma peak adept had left behind in his galaxy space ring. Firstly, he found a letter.

While items were stored in the galaxy space ring, time was suspended within. This letter thus looked crisp and brand new. On the letter, it stated, "To the lucky inheritor, from Mo Gan."

It was obvious that the name of the Dharma Peak adept who had left the inheritance behind was Mo Gan.

"I hope it's just some random garbage."

While Zhou Donghuang removed the letter from the envelope, his brows furrowed slightly. If it were possible, he would much rather not open the letter at all.

Normally, for chance encounters, he preferred those who left behind challenges as it meant that he had earned the rewards fair and square.

Furthermore, for those who left behind chance encounters, after one passed the countless challenges set in place to win the rewards, they would not leave you with any other problems.

Even if they did, you could choose to ignore them entirely.

"I already passed the test you left behind to gain this inheritance… Now, after passing the exam, there's yet another task… This is a little unorthodox."

However, if the owner had not left behind any tasks and gave away chance encounters for free, the inheritor would be at the beck and call of this owner as whatever the former wanted, the inheritor would have to follow and try his best to help fulfill it.

This was the other consequence.

As for Zhou Donghuang, he was someone who was very respectful of human relationships.

"As expected."

After opening the letter and reading its contents, Zhou Donghuang shook his head and sighed.

"These old people are really quite evil.

"I'd better see what he has left behind first… If it is not enough for me to desire it, or not worth the price, I'll return it at the very least."

Even if he was unwilling to waste his time, that could be the most viable solution for items that were not valuable enough.

If this person was an ingrate, even after seeing the words on the letter, Zhou Donghuang could choose to ignore it and there would not be any impact on him.

However, to Zhou Donghuang, this was a cause that he could not just ignore.

That was unless he chose to ignore it. If he took it on, he had to see it through. If not, when he entered the Divine Realm through the Deity's Tribulation in the future, he would become a scary Tribulation of Demon-in-the-Heart.

"Two ultimate Dharma heavenly spirit weapons, tens of thousands of mid-quality spirit stones, many core drugs…

"Wait… is that Core King Fruit!?"

If Zhou Donghuang had been rather calm before, once he saw the giant golden spirit fruit the size of a giant core drug, he lost a bit of his composure.

A Core King Fruit could only be consumed by a Primal Core adept to activate its abilities.

For a Primal Core adept who had just entered the late Primal Core stage, within a short few days, one could become an ultimate Primal Core adept!

Of course, for a spirit fruit like this, any Primal Core adept could only experience its effects once.

"What a beauty!"

"If I eat this medicine, for my remaining two Silver Essence… one of them will surely become Golden Essence after a few days!"

Of course, he was now a little swayed.

At this point, Zhou Donghuang had basically finished exploring all the items within the space ring. Just as he was preparing to calm himself down, he realized that at the corner of the space ring lay an item that was akin to a dried-up tree branch. It looked extremely boring and it was no wonder that he had missed it at first.

However, once Zhou Donghuang discovered it, his eyes widened yet again, and he excitedly whipped it out.

This dried-up tree branch was about four-feet long and the prints on it were extremely strange. It looked like it had many scales stuck on it and was completely covered in grey.

"This is it!"

In an instant, Zhou Donghuang's breathing became rapid due to his excitement. His chest heaved up and down like a ship's sail in the wind.

"Soul Shaper! This is a Soul Shaper! A complete one at that!

"My goodness!

"This is something that everyone in the universe agrees is an infinite treasure!

"If a Soul Shaper is present, big planets, stars and cities would send their best sects and disciples forward to fight for it… Even in my past life, if there was a chance to find a Soul Shaper, I would have risked my life!

"If I had gotten this Soul Shaper in my previous life, I would not have had to care about the Tribulation of Demon-in-the-Heart in the Deity's Tribulation! If I had this Soul Shaper, I would long have entered the Deity's Tribulation stage, defeated the Deity's Tribulation and entered the Divine Realm!"

A Soul Shaper could be refined by those who were in the Dharma stage and above.

For Dharma adepts, as long as they refined the Soul Shaper, they could agglomerate their Divine Will. Once they had mastered that, they would be able to defeat all Primordial Soul adepts and below!

If anyone had refined a complete Soul Shaper and entered the Primordial Soul stage, the cohesive Primordial Soul's Divine Will would be at the same level as a Primordial Soul adept, but its power would be greatly enhanced and go beyond that of the normal Divine Will attacks of a Primordial Soul adept.

After one entered the Divine Transformation stage, they could also go beyond and disregard the Divine Will attacks of a Divine Transformation adept.

Those were the possibilities of this fruit.

Once one entered the highest stage in the universe, the Deity's Tribulation stage, the Primordial Soul stage would be even more frightening and one could even disregard the Tribulation of Demon-in-the-Heart in the Deity's Tribulation!"

"A complete Soul Shaper…

"In this entire universe, if anyone took out a Soul Shaper for auction… when I was at the peak of my past life, even all my wealth would not have been able to pay for 10% of the value of it…"

Zhou Donghuang sighed to himself. At the same time, he carefully placed the Soul Shaper back into the inner capacity of the galaxy space ring for safekeeping. "That Dharma adept probably did not know that this was a Soul Shaper.

"Perhaps… he did not even realize such an object existed."

Due to the unbelievable power of the Soul Shaper, many used to dub it as "Divine Soul Shaper" as well!

"I guess I will have to take on the burden of the Dharma adept if I wish to keep these items."

Zhou Donghuang glanced at the letter once more and sighed again.

In the letter, the Dharma adept named Mo Gan, the person who had left the inheritance behind, had wanted him to seek revenge.

The person he wanted to exact revenge on before his life had ended was a Primal Core adept, and he was the sort of adept who stole other peoples' bodies.

This person was Mo Gan's only kin, his step-son.

He and his step-son had severed ties due to this, and they had murderous intentions towards one another.

"Hengliu galaxy, the Great Star (a nickname for the Soul Shaper), Fireism, Gong Sunling… Alright, I've memorized it all.

"He even listed all the evil deeds that Gong Sunling had done… Mo Gan was probably worried that the person who collected this inheritance would only kill those who were evil and not those who were innocent.

"What foresight indeed."

A Primal Core adept only had one chance in his life to fight for rebirth. Normally, one could use it at any time or just before they died if they chose to.

However, once they were successful, they would be stuck at the Primal Core stage forever, and it would be impossible for them to cross over into the next stage.

This was why no one would easily try to steal others' bodies unless it was absolutely necessary.

Chapter 216: Tianxuan Planet's Top Beauty

"Gong Sunling, a Primordial Soul adept, stole others' body before… He is destined to remain as a Primordial Soul adept for his whole life, and he has no hope of becoming a divine being.

"When I enter the Primordial Soul stage, I will avenge your death, Mo Gan, and end the connection between us."

Zhou Donghuang glanced at the letter in his hand. Suddenly, the inner Yuan within his palm burst into Samadhi fire, burning the letter into ashes that flew away with the breeze.

Actually, with this priceless treasure, the Soul Shaper, Zhou Donghuang could enter the Deity's Tribulation Stage and face the Deity's Tribulation in this life and be able to disregard the scariest Tribulation of Demon-in-the-Heart within.

Even if he did not end the connection between him and the Dharma adept, it would not affect his future skills and life.

However, even so, he did not intend to let go of this connection as he was not the sort of ingrate who turned his back on his benefactor.

Furthermore, this time, he had received a full Soul Shaper, and this was something that was beyond what he had imagined to gain.

In the infinite universe's many races, a Soul Shaper was widely known as a "passport for the Divine Realm." If anyone was able to refine a full Soul Shaper, this person could disregard all the various Tribulation of Demon-in-the-Hearts among all the Deity's Tribulations of the universe.

"Once I've digested the Core King Fruit, I'll leave this Honglong planet for my next destination… However, if I remember correctly, there are only a few places suitable for my chance encounter where I can get ahead at this moment."

Next, Zhou Donghuang stayed on the Honglong planet for a few more days and completed his digestion of the Core King Fruit. Of the two remaining Silver Essence in his body, one of them became a Golden Essence successfully.

Now, within Zhou Donghuang's essence points, there was only one Silver Essence and three Golden Essences.

Zhou Donghuang could now fight anyone below the Dharma stage even without divine objects as long as he had enough space for him to activate his swiftness and was not surrounded by too large a group of Golden Essence adepts that all had ultimate spirit weapons.

"It's time to go."

The nearest galaxy teleporter was still the one he had used previously, the Sky Sword Sect's. Zhou Donghuang used this galaxy teleporter to leave the Honglong planet and the Tianma galaxy.

After this, he would probably never return here ever again.

The universe was huge, and there was still lots to explore.

The Tianma galaxy was merely one out of many in the universe, and there were larger galaxies that were about a hundred times the size of it.

…

One year later, he arrived at the Luohe galaxy, the Tianxuan planet.

Whoosh!

A white-clothed shadow appeared in mid-air in the galaxy teleporter of the Tianxuan planet and glanced up somewhat lazily at the stone pillars around him.

The stone pillars had three lines of words for all to see:

The Luohe galaxy.

The Tianxuan planet.

Yunke City.

After he had glanced at the pillars, Zhou Donghuang turned his attention to his surroundings. In one direction, there were sprawling hills. In the other three directions, there was a lush rainforest, a vast piece of grassland and a city on a flat piece of land.

"This city should be Yunke City!"

Zhou Donghuang's heart skipped a beat.

He had already visited all the places that he had to visit. He had also successfully obtained the items that he had wanted to gain.

Now, he was here at Yunke City on the Tianxuan planet to meet Luo Qinghan.

He had had a one night stand with Luo Qinghan in the past when he was in the Lost Forest of the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun's Yunyang Country. Taking the scene to be like husband and wife, they had both engaged in sex for the first time. This was why Zhou Donghuang viewed Luo Qinghan as his woman.

He was now here to find her.

"I'm not even sure if this planet is the one that she's living in," Zhou Donghuang mused to himself.

In the past, when he had had that one night stand with Luo Qinghan, she had told him before that he was from the Luo Family of Tianxuan planet.

Zhou Donghuang had been unsure as to which part of the Tianxuan planet Luo Qinghan had been referring to. He had come to the Luohe galaxy as he had heard that there was a Tianxuan planet within it, and he was here to try his luck.

Whoosh!

Just as Zhou Donghuang was preparing to leave the stone stage of the galaxy teleporter towards Yunke City to ask about Luo Qinghan, another person appeared in the galaxy teleporter beside him.

A middle-aged man who looked to be about 40 appeared. He was wearing Chinese clothes like a king, and his upper lip had eight words tattooed on it. His eyes sparkled brightly.

"You're so young, but you're already a Primal Core adept?"

This middle-aged man dressed in traditional Chinese clothes glanced at Zhou Donghuang with shock on his face.

After all, only Primal Core adepts and above were able to utilize the galaxy teleporter to move from planet to planet or star to star.

"Yes."

Zhou Donghuang nodded. Before the middle-aged man could speak again, Zhou Donghuang asked, "On this planet, is there a family named 'Luo'?"

"I see you are not from here."

The middle-aged man smiled. "On our Tianxuan planet, there is indeed a Luo family. Furthermore, this Luo Family can be considered the most elite of families throughout the Tianxuan planet. They are extremely powerful and one of our greatest sects."

Zhou Donghuang lit up internally, and his heart skipped a beat. "It seems as though I have come to the right place.

"Where is the Luo family located?" Zhou Donghuang asked again.

"Brother, the location of the Luo Family's home… well, I can tell you, but you may still be unable to find the exact location."

The middle-aged man shook his hand. "I do not have a map of the Tianxuan planet with me right now. I think you should visit Yunke City to purchase a map before heading to find the Luo family."

"Thank you."

Zhou Donghuang nodded his thanks and with a shake of his body, directly floated into the air in the direction of Yunke City.

Although the middle-aged man knew long ago that Zhou Donghuang was a Primal Core adept, seeing as Zhou Donghuang had silver inner Yuan surrounding him, his eyes twitched yet again.

"A Silver Essence adept?"

Just now, although he knew this twenty-odd-year-old young man dressed in white was a Primal Core adept, he had assumed him to be about early Primal Core stage.

He never imagined that he young man before him could be in the late Primal Core stage like him, and a Silver Essence adept at that!

"Brother, wait up! I am heading for Yunke City as well!"

The middle-aged man called after Zhou Donghuang and floated into the sky simultaneously.

Similarly, silver inner Yuan surrounded him. Zhou Donghuang slowed down for the man to hurriedly catch up with him.

"Brother, my name is "Chen Aotian." How do I address you?"

The middle-aged man smiled and became much friendlier.

In any case, a twenty-year-old Silver Essence adept definitely had some strong forces supporting him. This twenty-year-old Silver Essence adept must have a pretty good status!

Having a good relationship with such a person would definitely be advantageous!

"Zhou Donghuang."

Zhou Donghuang replied directly but kept his gaze on Yunke City, which they were fast approaching.

"Brother Donghuang, where exactly are you from? I think my assumption that you are only around twenty years old is not wrong, but if that's the case, that is extremely young for a Silver Essence adept!" Chen Aotian questioned curiously.

"Even if I tell you the answer, you will not understand it," Zhou Donghuang replied lightly.

Chen Aotian could sense that Zhou Donghuang was not willing to elaborate on his previous question and so did not continue to ask further questions. Instead, he changed the topic.

"Brother, why are you finding the Luo family? You know someone from within?"

"Mm."

Zhou Donghuang nodded his head and glanced at Chen Aotian. "Do you know a Luo Qinghan from the Luo family?"

"Of course I do!"

Chen Aotian nodded his head, and his gaze grew animated. "That is the crown beauty of the Luo family and the youngest Primal Core adept of the family!

"A few years ago, when I left the Tianxuan planet, she had already become a Primal Core adept… At that time, she was only 20.

"Furthermore, it is rumored that… For everyone who has met her, they had labeled her as the number one beauty in the entire Tianxuan planet!" Chen Aotian exclaimed.

Zhou Donghuang's mouth turned up in a rare smile. It seemed as though his luck was not bad as the Luo Qinghan of the Luo family on the Tianxuan planet was exactly the woman that he was looking for.

"Brother, you know Luo Qinghan personally?" Chen Aotian's eyes shined as he asked.

Zhou Donghuang's reply caused him to become shocked yet again.

"She… she is my woman."

This was Zhou Donghuang's reply.

Chen Aotian took a long time to regain his composure. Then, without any warning, he showed obvious signs of excitement as he gazed deeply into the distance.

A second later, his excitement then died down.

Chen Aotian glanced at the city that they were approaching and smiled at Zhou Donghuang.

"Brother Donghuang, we are approaching the city. Do you want me to bring you to buy a map?"

Chen Aotian was extremely earnest now.

"Bring me to the shop. I can do my own shopping from there," Zhou Donghuang replied.

"Sure."

Chen Aotian agreed and brought Zhou Donghuang to an independent, multi-storied shop once the duo had arrived in Yunke City.

"Brother Donghuang, this is the most elite and high-class "treasure chest" of the Tianxuan planet.

They sell almost everything you could think of, including the Tianxuan planet's map. If you have any other needs, feel free to browse around inside."

Chen Aotian smiled. "This is where I leave you."

"Thank you."

Zhou Donghuang thanked Chen Aotian before reaching out his hand with ten mid-quality spirit stones. "This is to thank you for your efforts."

Seeing as Zhou Donghuang had taken out mid-quality spirit stones, Chen Aotian's gaze became glassy and bright. However, his face remained neutral as he said, "Why, this is too much of you, Brother Donghuang. I've taken you here as a friend, what do you think of me as?"

As he spoke, he turned and walked away without a second glance at Zhou Donghuang.

Zhou Donghuang glanced long and hard at Chen Aotian's retreating back before walking casually into the shop.

Within the shop, very quickly, a young female salesperson came forward to address Zhou Donghuang.

"Dear guest, do you require any assistance?"

"I want to buy an extremely detailed map of the Tianxuan planet," Zhou Donghuang said.

"Furthermore, I also want to buy some drugs as well as a high-quality core furnace. Do show me the best core furnaces this shop offers."

Zhou Donghuang now had ultimate quality spirit-stones with him as well as several other ultimate Dharma spirit weapons with him for usage after he entered the Dharma stage. He thus did not really need to purchase any metal ores that were meant for alchemy.

Of course, if he happened to come across some rare materials, he would not miss his chance to get his hands on them.

Half an hour later, Zhou Donghuang had made all his purchases and left with a cheery wave from the salesperson.

In one shot, he had spent thousands of mid-quality spirit stones.

Such large spenders were rare in this shop.

Chapter 217: Luo Family

"Luo family."

After leaving the shop, Zhou Donghuang unraveled the map in his hand and glanced at the general location of where the Luo family home was. It was extremely far away from his current location within the Yunke City.

Furthermore, there was a galaxy teleporter near the Luo family home, and it was labeled as the Tianshui Empire.

"From Yunke City's galaxy teleporter to the Tianshui Empire… I can then head for the Luo family home. This is probably the fastest way."

Zhou Donghuang mused to himself and made his plans.

"Ah?"

Once he had floated to the skies towards the outskirts of Yunke City, Zhou Donghuang's face changed from a serene expression to having his brows furrowed for a while before he calmed down again.

After he had flown out of Yunke City, Zhou Donghuang traveled towards the galaxy teleporter with the sign labeled, "Yunke City."

At the start, when he had first arrived at the Tianxuan planet, he had not known where the different galaxy teleporters and their symbols were. When he was teleporting, he had simply recited the lines "Luohe galaxy" and "Tianxuan planet" instead of uttering all three specificities.

In a situation like this, the galaxy teleporter would randomly send him to any of the available other galaxy teleporters within the Luohe galaxy.

Zhou Donghuang had coincidentally been sent to the galaxy teleporter that was near to Yunke City.

After he had flown half his intended distance, Zhou Donghuang halted his movements.

At the same time, two swift figures suddenly flew up from behind and almost instantly appeared in front of Zhou Donghuang, effectively blocking his path.

"Brother Donghuang, we meet again."

Out of the two figures who were blocking the path of Zhou Donghuang, one was the middle-aged man dressed in traditional Chinese clothes, Chen Aotian, who had previously helped Zhou Donghuang cheerily in giving directions to Yunke City.

At that point, Chen Aotian had sent Zhou Donghuang to the city's big shop, and Zhou Donghuang had even prepared ten mid-quality spirit stones as thanks for the guidance. However, Chen Aotian had rejected the offer then.

As for the other figure, he was an old man dressed in blue. This man was tall and strong-looking, making him significantly different from the likes of Chen Aotian. He glanced at Zhou Donghuang with a fiery expression and a greedy look in his eyes.

A golden halo surrounded this old man's body and this was his golden inner Yuan. It was clear that he was a Golden Essence adept who had entered the ultimate Primal Core stage.

"Mm."

Zhou Donghuang nodded his head lightly and his face remained passive. His expression did not change at all.

"I'm sorry, Brother Donghuang."

Chen Aotian licked his dry lips as his eyes shone with unsatisfied greed and desire. "Through experiences, have you not learned that it is unwise to travel alone?

"And if you must, are you not aware that one should not flaunt one's wealth so easily?"

As Chen Aotian spoke, his motives for appearing in front of Zhou Donghuang could be clearly inferred immediately. He was here to fight Zhou Donghuang and rob him of his wealth!

After all, at the young age of twenty years old, Zhou Donghuang was already a late Primal Core adept. It was clear that there was probably an extremely strong and respectable force behind him and it could even be a Primordial Soul adept.

With the discovery of such a man, he must have a shocking amount of wealth in his possession. Even a normal Dharma adept would possibly have lesser amassed wealth as compared to him!

To Chen Aotian, this meeting with such a wealthy man was too tempting.

As he considered the fact that Zhou Donghuang may have a powerful force backing him up, Chen Aotian had no intention to allow him to live after he was done with the robbery.

He had to make all traces of Zhou Donghuang vanish!

If not, it was possible that there would be terrible consequences that Chen Aotian was not prepared to face.

"No wonder you rejected the token spirit stones I offered you at the sop. I guess that was too little for your liking." Zhou Donghuang had a sudden realization.

"My goodness, why are you still chattering away with him? We are wasting time! Let me, as your father, take the first step to kill him and obtain his space ring!"

The old man dressed in blue suddenly exploded with a blinding flash of light, and the golden inner Yuan halo around him exploded as well. At the same time, a gleaming, lean knife appeared in his hand as well.

Once this knife was brandished, his inner Yuan was funneled into it, and its aura expanded by a significant amount.

"An ultimate spirit weapon?"

Zhou Donghuang furrowed his brows.

"Die!"

The old man yelled out brashly, and his entire being flew across the sky at an astonishing speed like a golden ball of fire. He brought with him the knife, which left trails of golden flames, and rushed towards Zhou Donghuang.

Although the old man could tell through the silver halo around Zhou Donghuang that he had to be only a Silver Essence adept, he did not let down his guard just yet.

He would do his utmost best, even when handling a minor issue.

This old man was careful and would not allow himself to make mistakes due to overconfidence.

Although the opposing party was just a Silver Essence adept, he did not hold back and attacked with all his might. The old man wanted to kill Zhou Donghuang with one blow!

"I wonder just how much wealth he is holding on to…" Chen Aotian commented casually as he watched this scene. The gaze he gave Zhou Donghuang was filled with evil intent, and the corners of his mouth turned up with a malicious, beaming smile.

However, in the next instant, his smile was suddenly frozen.

His eyes bulged out comically as if he had seen something extremely unbelievable.

"How… How is this possible?"

Previously, Chen Aotian had already prepared for the scenario where Zhou Donghuang would be killed with a single blow from his father. However, instead of that happening, the scene that took place before him nearly caused him to have a heart attack.

The young man dressed in white was standing firmly on the ground, where he had not moved from.

At this very moment, the silver inner Yuan surrounding the young man had disappeared. In its place, there was a vast and unmatched halo of golden inner Yuan. From far, it looked as if there were golden flames burning around him.

Zhou Donghuang reached out his right hand steadily, and a heavenly spirit weapon, a knife, landed in his palm.

Seeing a Golden Essence adept attack fully with an ultimate spirit weapon was like watching a child pretend to enact martial arts to Zhou Donghuang, and it did not pose any threat to him at all.

"Wait… isn't he a Silver Essence adept? How could he be a Golden Essence adept!? What is happening? This is impossible! It's impossible!

"Furthermore, even if he were to be a Golden Essence adept, how could he intercept the ultimate spirit weapon that my father used all his strength to throw? Now, with his inner Yuan embedded within it, the ultimate spirit weapon's power has been doubled!

"What situation is this? Did Father hold back? That's not right either… It's not like Father has no experience in killing other Silver Essence adepts.

"Even when facing Silver Essence adepts, he also uses all his strength to kill them within seconds!"

Chen Aotian's facial expression changed dramatically, and thoughts swarmed in his mind. His heart beat rapidly as he grew worried and confused.

He was completely unable to comprehend the scene before him!

Wham!

Boom!

Two consecutive sounds rang out, and they were both so explosive that Chen Aotian's eyeballs nearly popped out of his head.

This was the explosion of the golden inner Yuan in Zhou Donghuang's right hand. He casually snatched the old man's ultimate spirit weapon, the lean knife, and threw it back, sending the old man's brain into the sky as it was whipped out of his skull.

Fresh blood floated in the air like several roses that had just bloomed, and the scene was almost mesmerizing.

The old man's brain floated for a short distance in the air before it came hurdling down. That bloody face was full of shock and hatred as it stared out with a gaze of confusion and utmost shock.

Perhaps, up till the moment he had died, the old man still had not comprehended how a Silver Essence adept could explode with the inner Yuan of a Golden Essence adept out of the blue.

Furthermore, why was that inner Yuan able to easily overcome the added inner Yuan he had given to the ultimate spirit weapon?

"Father…"

Seeing this, Chen Aotian let out a cry of anguish and hatred. He glanced murderously at the young man, unable to believe his father had just died.

Whoosh!

As if a wind had just blown by and killed the young man, obtaining his space ring, Zhou Donghuang appeared like a bolt of golden lightning right in front of Chen Aotian's eyes.

Chen Aotian felt like he had just fought a tough battle and had only just regained his senses. Seeing the young man standing in front of him with a neutral expression, he directly knelt and begged.

"Brother Donghuang, I know my mistakes now. I was wrong!

"Please, show some mercy and let me go. Please let me live!"

Chen Aotian was fully panicking at this moment.

Chen Aotian's skills and power were greater than those of his father. It could even be expected that he would enter the Dharma stage in 100 years, and at that point, he would be able to extend his life for another 500 years. The him now was not even 100 yet!

He still had about 500 more years to live, and he did not want to let that go so easily at this point.

However, Zhou Donghuang's reply to Chen Aotian's begging was a casual slap with his palm.

Boom!

The golden palm, which was as big as a mountain, smashed down heavily. Chen Aotian did not even have any time to react before his entire body was smashed in a loud explosion and became a stream of blood.

All that was left was a space ring that floated down singularly in the air and was caught by Zhou Donghuang.

Zhou Donghuang felt as if he was experiencing a scene of deja vu.

Over the thousand years of his past life, he had experienced too many similar scenes.

One misstep could lead to endless consequences!

A martial arts adept could easily die at any point.

Ah!

After killing the duo, Zhou Donghuang did not waste time trying to keep his golden inner Yuan and quickly hurried on his way towards the nearest galaxy teleporter.

He then used the galaxy teleporter to transport himself to the Tianshui Empire, which was near where the Luo family home was.

The galaxy teleporter of the Tianshui Empire was outside its capital. Once Zhou Donghuang had landed, he took another glance at his map before flying towards the opposite direction he had previously arrived from.

The Luo family lived on one side of the Tianshui Empire's capital, and their home took up an entire patch of mountains. This entire piece of land belonged to the Luo family, and he could not simply trespass as he wished.

The Luo family mansion was surrounded by the mountains, just like how the stars and moon surround Earth. Flowers bloomed around it, and the entire area was tranquil and peaceful like a dystopian paradise.

At this very moment, in the sturdy and elegant living room of the Luo family home, the head of the family, Luo Wuchen, was staring at the young man before him with surprise and confusion in his eyes. "Are you Miss Qinghan's friend?"

The young man before him was dressed in pure white and looked polite and graceful. He gave off a polished aura and did not look like any ordinary man.

Well, at least to Luo Wuchen, even the most outstanding of young men out of the top great sects in the Tianxuan Empire, based on appearance and aura alone, could not compete with the young man in white before him.

"I am Zhou Donghuang, and I'm pleased to meet you, my father-in-law!"

Zhou Donghuang bowed courteously to Luo Wuchen.

He knew at least to demonstrate some proper manners.

Of course, he also bowed due to the fact that the person before him was Luo Qinghan's father. If not, even if the person was of the Heavenly stage, he would not do such a degrading thing.

"What… what did you call me!?"

Luo Wuchen's eyes grew wide, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.

After he had regained his composure, this shock turned to anger, and a murderous look appeared on his face. A giant sword Dharma about three feet tall appeared before him, and this sword spat out a dangerous and menacing aura towards Zhou Donghuang.

How could this audacious young man carelessly address him with such terms?

When did his daughter marry a man like that?

Chapter 218: Old Ms. Li

Whoosh!

As Luo Wuchen's sword surged forward towards Zhou Donghuang, a thick Golden halo of inner Yuan appeared around his body and easily deflected and resisted the attack.

"A Golden… Golden Essence adept?!"

Seeing this, Luo Wuchen temporarily forgot his anger, and he glanced at the teenager before him with a look of shock on his face.

This young man looked to be around twenty years old and could even be younger than his daughter, Luo Qinghan. How could he be a Golden Essence adept!?

Furthermore, two years ago, when his daughter Luo Qinghan had left the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, she had already been a Golden Essence adept, but yet the thickness of her inner Yuan was far less dense than that of the young man before him.

Just as Luo Wuchen stared at Zhou Donghuang with a look of utter shock, many thoughts came to mind in his head.

"After Qinghan's encounter previously, she became extremely talented and known throughout the entire Tianxuan planet. No one could beat her. And yet, this young man before me seems to have greater talent than Qinghan!?

"Something is wrong!

"Qinghan only blossomed a few years ago. If she had gained enlightenment 10 years ago, she would probably be in the Dharma stage now!

"Even so, the talent that this young man possesses far surpasses Qinghan now!"

Within an instant, Luo Wuchen's facial expression softened slightly as he considered the young man before him. Zhou Donghuang was extremely young, and yet he managed to have such commendable achievements. It was 80% possible that Zhou Donghuang had a powerful force supporting him, which Luo Wuchen did not want to risk offending.

"Father-in-law."

Zhou Donghuang opened his mouth yet again, and Luo Wuchen's face darkened in response. Even before Luo Wuchen could speak, though, Zhou Donghuang glanced at the three-foot giant sword Dharma that Luo Wuchen had produced and said, "Your Dharma power has two obvious flaws. I believe you would have identified them before and tried to cover them up but… They can be identified easily even so as the cover-ups are too flimsy.

"A Dharma adept with a good eye would be able to identify these flaws almost immediately."

Once Zhou Donghuang had uttered these words, Luo Wuchen's nostrils flared angrily as his situation was fully exposed by the young man.

It was true that his Dharma power had two obvious flaws. These flaws had emerged due to the lacking traditions and methods that had been passed down the Luo family line and had been present for many generations.

One could polish the Dharma but, just as Zhou Donghuang had pointed out, those Dharma adepts with a good eye would be able to see through the facade almost immediately.

It was just that Luo Wuchen would never have imagined that the flaws in his Dharma power would be pointed out by a Golden Essence adept and even exposed in his face!

"If I did not guess incorrectly, this is due to your practice methods. Something is amiss with your methods."

When Zhou Donghuang spoke, Luo Wuchen was shocked yet again. He suddenly felt that the young man standing before him was somehow privy to all his secrets.

"Who… who exactly are you!?" Luo Wuchen asked extremely suspiciously.

He could not comprehend why such a man would visit him at his home and label him as "father-in-law."

He had never heard his daughter, Luo Qinghan, speak of any man that she fancied or had an interest in.

"Father-in-law, I already introduced myself earlier… My name is Zhou Donghuang and I am your son-in-law. I am here at your home to seek permission to marry your daughter," Zhou Donghuang said.

"Ask for my daughter's hand in marriage?"

Luo Wuchen sighed in relief upon hearing Zhou Donghuang's words. He then furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Even if you are here to ask for my daughter's hand in marriage, calling me "father-in-law" before receiving my blessing is jumping the gun a little, is it not?

"Furthermore, this marriage may not even happen if Luo Qinghan does not consent to it.

"I am not aware of your background either. I need to do my own research on you and think about it."

Due to Zhou Donghuang's display of talent and astonishing words, Luo Wuchen's attitude now was at least slightly gentler and more lenient. He was now much more polite than before.

"Father-in-law, I have already had pre-marital relations with your daughter many years ago. I am now here to ask for her hand in marriage as it is the right thing to do."

This direct and blunt sentence uttered by Zhou Donghuang shocked Luo Wuchen till his entire face changed. With a murderous tone, he yelled out.

"What did you say!?

"You… you had an affair with my daughter before marriage? This happened many years ago?"

The Luo Wuchen now was pale with rage, and the first thought that emerged in his mind was that the young man before him was uttering pure nonsense.

Yet, when his gaze met Zhou Donghuang's, it was hard to identify whether the latter was telling the truth.

Furthermore, Zhou Donghuang's gaze was clear and sharp, giving Luo Wuchen the sense that he would regret it if he doubted the young man.

"Yes."

Zhou Donghuang nodded with an earnest and serious expression.

"When? Where?"

Although Luo Wuchen still found the whole issue ridiculous, he forced himself to calm down and face the issue seriously.

Before Zhou Donghuang could reply, Luo Wuchen's gaze turned cold, and he added, "If this is not true, I will not care. However, if this turns out to be a made-up story, and I have found out that you involved my daughter in an untrue scandal, I will see it as a sin befitting of death and you will not leave my home alive!"

Luo Wuchen warned Zhou Donghuang.

Following which, as Zhou Donghuang opened his mouth, Luo Wuchen realized that the timing that Zhou Donghuang had spoken of coincided perfectly with the time period that his daughter had set out on her expedition.

Furthermore, his daughter had also undergone a full change overnight after returning from that particular expedition.

"Someone come here now!"

With Luo Wuchen's sharp command across the living room, a maid quickly rushed in following the call and bowed respectfully, awaiting orders.

"Find Mrs. Li and tell her that I have urgent matters awaiting her. I will meet her in the living room."

Once Luo Wuchen had given his order, the maid rushed off.

"Father-in-law, this is my betrothal gift."

After the maid had left, Zhou Donghuang raised his palms and revealed a stack of papers, which was the betrothal gift he had prepared for the Luo family.

Previously, in his other life, although he had never asked for anyone's hand in marriage, he was still aware of the general customs one should follow when carrying out such tasks.

"This… betrothal gifts?"

Seeing as Zhou Donghuang had presented a stack of papers and labeled them as betrothal gifts, Luo Wuchen furrowed his brows. He had never seen such a strange gesture or stunt.

What kind of betrothal gift was this!?

On the Tianxuan planet, marriages of status and power would include a large amount of spirit stone veins as a betrothal gift as well as several spirit-weapons.

This young man was presenting paper? Was this a joke?

"The betrothal gifts are not important right now. I want to first confirm whether the events you mentioned are true."

Luo Wuchen waved his hands dismissively and said in a low voice.

"As to whether my words have truth, we could just invite Miss Luo over to confirm them," Zhou Donghuang said.

"Hmph!"

Luo Wuchen snickered under his breath and glanced lightly at Zhou Donghuang. Originally, he had wanted to claim that his daughter had already left the Tianxuan planet. However, in the end, he did not let these words escape his mouth.

About a second later, an old, frail woman dressed in a flowy green robe breezed into the living room as if she was a gust of wind.

"A late Dharma adept?"

Although the old woman did not showcase her Dharma, Zhou Donghuang was still able to sense that she was a late Dharma adept due to the aura of her inner Yuan.

This old lady was even stronger than the head of the house, Luo Wuchen!

Zhou Donghuang felt confused internally. "Who is she? At this point, shouldn't my father-in-law invite his daughter to come forth instead!?"

"The maid mentioned that you have urgent matters to discuss with me?"

The old man glanced at Luo Wuchen lightly before speaking.

At the same time, her gaze landed on Zhou Donghuang, who was sitting beside Luo Wuchen, and she nodded to herself furtively.

This young man was clearly talented and could be the most accomplished young man of his age that she had ever met.

"Mother-in-law."

Luo Wuchen bowed to the old lady, and Zhou Donghuang was able to ascertain her status in the family through this greeting.

"Grandmother." Zhou Donghuang followed Luo Wuchen's behavior and similarly bowed to the old lady.

"Grandmother?"

The old lady was shocked. What was happening?

In an instant, an idea appeared in her mind, and the old lady's face darkened. A murderous gaze filled her eyes, and she barked coldly, "Luo Wuchen! Don't tell me this is an illegitimate child that you have been fostering!

"I told you a long time ago that unless your powers exceed mine, you will not do anything that goes against the honor of my dead daughter, so long as I am still alive!"

As she spoke, the old lady's tone turned icier.

"Mother-in-law, you're mistaken."

Luo Wuchen smiled bitterly and said, "He… he is here to ask for Qinghan's hand in marriage and my permission for him to do so."

"Ask for her hand in marriage? Marry Qinghan?"

The old lady mused to herself before her face softened again. She glanced at Zhou Donghuang and began to evaluate him in earnest. "Young man, you wish to marry my granddaughter?"

"If your granddaughter is Luo Qinghan, then yes, that is correct," Zhou Donghuang replied.

"Mother-in-law."

At this point, Luo Wuchen stared suspiciously at the old lady and asked in a low voice, "Previously, when Qinghan had set out on an expedition and had that chance encounter, what exactly happened?

"Although I know about the chance encounter, every time I question her as to how she came across it, she refuses to elaborate.

"Just now, this young man told me that he had an affair with Qinghan while she was out on her expedition… Has Qinghan mentioned this to you before?"

Luo Wuchen could not help but grow more suspicious as time passed.

Now, he realized that his daughter's reaction in the past had been rather strange, as if it was not convenient for her to share details of her expedition.

"Are you Zhou Donghuang?"

Under Luo Wuchen's unwavering gaze, the old lady glanced at Zhou Donghuang and a shocked expression appeared on her face.

With such words, Luo Wuchen's confusion grew, and his heart became even more troubled.

His mother-in-law knew this young man's name!?

Could it be that this young man had really slept with his pure and innocent Qinghan?

At this point, Luo Wuchen could not help but feel irritated and unsettled as he glanced yet again at Zhou Donghuang.

There was the Chinese saying that daughters were their fathers' lovers in their previous life.

At this point, Luo Wuchen could not help but feel that his daughter had been snatched away from him.

Chapter 219: I Approve of this Marriage!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Yes."

Towards the question posed by the old lady, Zhou Donghuang nodded his head. At the same time, he observed that most likely, the old lady had heard about him from Luo Qinghan.

As to Luo Wuchen's cluelessness, Zhou Donghuang was not surprised as well.

In any case, for the matter that had transpired between Zhou Donghuang and Luo Qinghan, from Qinghan's perspective, it would definitely not be convenient for her to share such details with her father given their difference in gender.

However, in contrast, it would be normal for Qinghan to share such intimate stories with her grandmother.

This old lady was indeed Qinghan's grandmother, Li Yu, who was a late Dharma adept and extremely powerful.

"You… Aren't you from the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, which is located within the Kaiyuan galaxy? If I recall correctly, that place does not even house a galaxy teleporter! How did you manage to travel to the Tianxuan planet?"

Hearing Zhou Donghuang's confirmation, Li Yu sighed calmly and said, "Also… you're in the Primal Core stage now?

"Perhaps… Someone else brought you here?" Li Yu asked in detail.

Before Zhou Donghuang could speak, Luo Wuchen first spoke up in a low tone, "Mother-in-law, this young man is a Golden Essence adept and is even close to entering the Dharma stage."

Seeing his mother-in-law's reaction, Luo Wuchen could ascertain that the words Zhou Donghuang had uttered previously were probably true.

Instantly, his face darkened considerably, and he glanced unhappily at Zhou Donghuang with a look of dissatisfaction.

How dare this young man sleep with his daughter!?

He ought to die!

Furthermore, from his mother-in-law's words, this young man was from a galaxy that did not even possess a galaxy teleporter?

For galaxies which did not possess any galaxy teleporter, it was normal to assume that they did not produce any Primal Core adepts. Even if a rare Primal Core adept were to enter the galaxy, they would still be disinterested in building a galaxy teleporter.

To Primal Core adepts, galaxies that did not own a galaxy teleporter were usually useless to visit and build one for, and they would not do so unless they felt that there was something to gain from visiting the galaxy or had thoughts of returning again.

Building a galaxy teleporter did not require many treasures, but it required a long period of time. No Primal Core adept would waste time unless they found value in doing so.

"How… For someone who was born in a galaxy that does not even have a galaxy teleporter, you still managed to enter the Primal Core stage and become a Golden Essence adept at this age!?"

Luo Wuchen did not doubt his mother-in-law, Li Yu's words and was thus even more muddled now.

"A Golden Essence adept? And one that is approaching the Dharma stage at that?"

Li Yu was shocked by this news.

When her granddaughter was about 16 or 17, at this young man's age, she had only been a Great Consummation of the Qi-Gathering adept. She had not even entered the Petty Consummation of the Qi-Gathering stage.

And yet with a few years' difference, this young man had become a Golden Essence adept!?

Boom!

With no warning, an ear-piercing, thunderous roar suddenly resonated within the living room; it was a giant, hunched-over, Dharma-level beast that rose up behind Li Yu.

Clearly, it was a great ape.

This great ape was bent over as it was too big to fit in the dimensions of the living room. If it were to stand up straight, it would tear through the ceiling of the living room, which was already standing at an impressive height of over ten meters.

Previously, the three-foot Dharma power of Luo Wuchen's was already this close to touching the ceiling of the living room, let alone this ten-foot tall great beast.

However, even as it bent over, its back was already close to the ceiling as it was just too ginormous.

Wah!

As the giant ape let out a wild cry, it also sent a strong wave of aura towards Zhou Donghuang. At the same time, golden flames of inner Yuan rose up steadily around Zhou Donghuang's body.

Furthermore, the golden flames created out of Zhou Donghuang's inner Yuan far surpassed that of a normal Golden Essence adept's.

Nevertheless, when facing a ten-foot-tall giant ape, Zhou Donghuang's body still experienced the breaking of its inner Yuan despite his powers. The pressure on his body caused him to tremble slightly on the spot.

"You are really a true Golden Essence adept!"

Li Yu smoothly retracted her Dharma power before glancing a second time at Zhou Donghuang with a spooked expression, as if she had seen a ghost. "It seems that that lass Qinghan has been outmatched!"

"He is not simply mediocre or average. This young man is so much more accomplished than Qinghan now. He is precocious and a genius!" Li Yu mused to herself.

Although she did not speak loudly, these words were still overheard by Luo Wuchen. Luo Wuchen could not help but open his mouth to give Li Yu a reminder, "Mother-in-law, do not forget that Qinghan only changed a few years ago.

"If she had been changed since young, she would not be any less accomplished than this young man!"

As Luo Wuchen spoke these words, he glanced scornfully at Zhou Donghuang, feeling a sense of irritation and dissatisfaction rise up between him. What a joke! This man had actually dared to corrupt his daughter and destroy her innocence!

"A few years ago, when Qinghan first met this man, he was only a Great Consummation of the Qi-Gathering adept! He was not even at the Petty Consummation of the Qi-Gathering stage!"

Once Li Yu had spoken these words, Luo Wuchen was stunned into silence once again. He glanced at Zhou Donghuang with a spooked expression and could not regain his composure for a long period of time.

"You are Donghuang, right? Come over here and let me take a good look at you!"

Li Yu waved at Zhou Donghuang and appeared to be extremely pleased. Zhou Donghuang obediently took a few steps forward hesitantly as he was a little shocked by the overwhelming friendliness of the old woman.

Her attitude had changed drastically, and it was a fresh welcome from Luo Wuchen's hostility.

"Not bad, not bad indeed… Handsome, good aura, comparable to the most outstanding disciples of the big sects down the street… Not bad, not bad indeed!"

The longer the old woman stared at Zhou Donghuang, the more her approval for him grew.

Now, the way she stared at him was unlike a stranger glancing at another stranger but rather with the gaze a mother gave to her son.

"You've come to visit our home to ask for Qinghan's hand in marriage? You are prepared to marry her and settle down with her?" Li Yu smiled and asked.

"Yes."

Zhou Donghuang nodded his head.

"Very good, very good… At such a young age, you are sensible and courteous enough to respect customs. There aren't many youths nowadays that are as mature as you. Mm, I am extremely satisfied. I approve of this marriage!"

Li Yu nodded her head in satisfaction.

"Ah?"

Li Yu's passion and casual reply caused Zhou Donghuang to feel slightly uncomfortable.

However, that was simply his first reaction.

After he had regained his senses, Zhou Donghuang immediately bowed out of respect to Li Yu and signaled his gratitude. "Thank you, Ma'am."

"No thanks needed, we are a family now…"

Li Yu smiled and continued to stare at Zhou Donghuang, mentally evaluating him further. As she did so, she continued nodding to herself as if she was extremely satisfied to have found a son-in-law like Zhou Donghuang.

"Mother-in-law!"

At this point, Luo Wuchen had finally regained his senses, and he smiled bitterly. "I am Qinghan's father! If I have not given permission for this marriage to take place, how could you give your blessings just like that?"

"Hmph!"

Towards Luo Wuchen, Li Yu had on a less friendly expression, and she replied to him in a cold fashion, "In any case, I have already acknowledged and approved of this son-in-law. Why? Do you have a problem with this?"

Li Yu glanced steely at Luo Wuchen without flinching.

"No… No, I have no problem with that."

Luo Wuchen smiled bitterly and shook his head as his heart grew heavier.

He knew that his mother-in-law was not any ordinary woman. If not, as a woman, she definitely would not have been able to cross to the late Dharma stage and become a late Dharma adept even before she had turned 500 years old.

Today, his mother-in-law was acting extremely out of the norm. There had to be some information that she knew that he didn't!

"Donghuang, you were born in the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun?"

When she turned to look at Zhou Donghuang once more, Li Yu's old face now had on a smile that looked forced, almost as if she wanted to cry.

"I guess so," Zhou Donghuang replied.

"You guess so?"

Li Yu was confused.

"When I was young, my father sent me to the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun. I was raised up by my adoptive mother. My earliest memories stem from the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun."

Zhou Donghuang explained his situation. At the same time, a cold glance flickered in his eyes, and he clenched his fists together tightly. The already dense golden flames surrounding his body flared out once again and flickered around his clenched fists. He now looked as if he were enveloped in a thick fog of gold.

Zhou Donghuang was now thinking about his biological father, Zhou Haotian and his biological mother, Zhuge Jing's misfortune in his past life.

"There are still about 100 years to go… Father, mother, in this life, I will definitely save you both before anything horrible happens!"

With the wavering of his heart, Zhou Donghuang's gaze grew stronger and more resolute.

"As expected."

Li Yu sighed coldly to herself, and she had an internal realization. All along, she had suspected that the young man standing before them had been able to allow her granddaughter to undergo changes overnight back then due to the fact that his bloodline was royal and superior. This young man had martial arts talent that far exceeded that of her granddaughter which allowed him to help her improve drastically.

Now, Zhou Donghuang's words had confirmed her suspicions.

"The fact that this boy's father abandoned him in such an isolated and unknown galaxy's planet, well, there must be a good reason behind it all! I'm quite sure that between his father and his mother, at least one of them is not any ordinary person! If not, they would not have been able to give birth to such a talented and unique child."

Li Yu mused to herself.

"Donghuang."

Now, no matter how she looked at the situation, Donghuang seemed to appeal to Li Yu more and more. Not only was he extremely talented, but he was also handsome as well. Donghuang also seemed extremely mature and stable. It would be hard for that granddaughter of hers to find a more outstanding and capable man to marry!

Most importantly, that young man had had sexual relations with her granddaughter.

Li Yu was extremely traditional in this aspect.

Of course, despite this important point and all the other details, the main point was that she had already acknowledged this young man before her as her grandson-in-law. She also believed that if her granddaughter dated and married this man, she had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

She had lived close to 500 years thus far and had gotten rather experienced at reading people.

"Grandmother-in-law?"

Zhou Donghuang had regained his composure, and his tightly clenched fists were loosened as well. With that, the inner Yuan surrounding him also subsided accordingly in intensity.

"Well, it is rather a coincidence though… About a year and a half ago, that lass Qinghan followed the Primordial Souls from the Hengliu galaxy as well as a few martial arts talents aged about 30 years old from the Tianxuan planet to visit the Hengliu galaxy. They wanted to visit the top sects within the Hengliu galaxy."

Li Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Now, she probably should have already visited several of the top sects in the Hengliu galaxy.

"Before she left, she had mentioned that once she was familiar with the environment there, she would return to visit.

"Perhaps you could stay and wait for her?" Li Yu asked.

With such a speech, Zhou Donghuang realized that Luo Qinghan was not home at the moment. Instead, she was out on an expedition to the Hengliu galaxy, visiting their top sects.

As to which of the top sects she was visiting in the Hengliu galaxy, both Wuchen and Li Yu were not sure. They all had to wait till Luo Qinghan was back to find out.

"The Hengliu galaxy?"

"The Hengliu galaxy. Isn't that the one mentioned in the letter the top Dharma adept from the Honglong planet of the Tianma galaxy gave me? He mentioned an enemy in that letter, isn't that where that enemy is from?"

Zhou Donghuang remembered very clearly that the nemesis of that supreme Dharma adept was currently a Primordial Soul adept from a Fireism sect, somewhere in the vast wilderness of the Hengliu galaxy—Gong Sunling.

And Fireism—it was obvious from its name that this was a sect that prided itself on its religious teachings.

"Grandmother, I'm not waiting for her any longer. If she comes back, tell her that I'm also at the Hengliu galaxy. We'll probably meet there very soon if everything goes well," Zhou Donghuang told Li Yu, then used his inner Yuan to pass the stack of papers in his hand over to Li Yu.

"This is my betrothal gift, Grandmother."

Right after he said that, Zhou Donghuang hurriedly bid Li Yu and Luo Wuchen goodbye. He then turned to leave and prepared to head to the galaxy teleporter nearby to head to the Hengliu galaxy!

Then he was gone with the wind. Li Yu and Luo Wuchen only recovered after his silhouette had completely disappeared from their sight.

"What an impatient brat!" Luo Wuchen chided softly under his breath.

"I think the way he does things is rather up my alley, actually."

Li Yu smiled a little.

"Mother-in-law!"

There was a bitter smile on Luo Wuchen's face. "Why did you entrust Qinghan to him so recklessly? It's not just that, we haven't even talked this through with Qinghan yet, so how do you know if she'll be up for this?"

"'Recklessly'?"

Li Yu shook her head. Her eyes were filled with a certain wisdom. "You think that I, Li Yu, am a reckless person?

"Haven't you always wanted to know what exactly had happened to Qinghan that time she went out a few years back and came back a new person armed with a newfound sense of martial talent?" Li Yu stared firmly at Luo Wuchen and asked.

"Yes."

Luo, Wuchen nodded. "I asked that girl a few times but she always changed the topic. She didn't want to tell me."

"It's normal that she didn't want to tell you. Though you're her father, you're also a man. There are just some differences between men and women."

Li Yu asked, "Did Donghuang tell you about the thing between him and Qinghan? You wouldn't have sent someone to me for confirmation if he didn't, right?"

"Yes."

Luo Wuchen nodded. "At first, I knew about the issue with He Meng of the He Family where he drugged Qinghan, but I didn't know that Qinghan had suffered that much after that."

Luo Wuchen was aware that Luo Qinghan had gone with his mother-in-law who was standing in front of him now to murder the first lady of the He Family, He Meng, that year.

"Qinghan's transformation was a result of the night she spent with Donghuang."

Luo Wuchen fell into a shocked silence when he heard Li Yu's response. It took him a while to shake himself out of his stupor, and he stared at Li Yu in disbelief.

"Mother-in-law, so what you're saying is…is that Zhou Donghuang, the one of noble blood who's supernaturally talented and far superior to Qinghan, all of which was the reason why her martial talent underwent such a drastic transformation?"

In this boundless universe, the blood that flowed through human beings were not all that different at the start.

But some people eventually succeeded in improving themselves, and so their blood would undergo a subtle transformation and improve in the same way the body did.

The coupling of those people brought about descendants whose blood was naturally better than others.

When one of the two people who coupled had far better blood than the other, and when that person in question was still a boy or a virgin, the martial talent of the other in the pair would undergo a dramatic transformation.

Luo Wuchen knew this well.

"Yes."

Li Yu nodded.

"Is there a possibility that Qinghan had any other encounters?

Luo Wuchen followed up.

"It's impossible."

Li Yu shook her head. "Qinghan told me every single thing about that incident that happened that time, and she didn't leave a single thing out. I can conclude from her account that the transformation of her martial talent is intrinsically linked to Donghuang.

"There's just this one thing. Back then, Qinghan had mentioned that Donghuang was only a Qi-Gathering adept, which really puzzled me. But we know now that certain circumstances had made for Donghuang to still be a Qi-Gathering adept when he was already around sixteen to seventeen years old.

"However, it's obvious that Donghuang's talents have fully developed in the past few years, or there's no way he would be a Golden Essence adept at this age.

"On top of that, his inner Yuan is so powerful, much more superior to that of the average Golden Essence adept. It's so powerful that some people find it difficult to believe just how strong it is. Come to think of it, he's barely half a step away from the Dharma stage."

Luo Wuchen could only listen silently to Li Yu as she spoke.

"I was initially rather puzzled: How could someone of such good blood exist on a small planet in the stars with no galaxy teleporter? But Donghuang answered my question earlier."

When Li Yu opened her mouth to speak again, her eyes were gleaming. "Donghuang had only grown up on Ziyun; he's not a child of that planet. He was abandoned on Ziyun by his birth father.

"Qinghan is blessed to be able to be in this marriage with him."

"I can also tell that Donghuang has a maturity and stability uncharacteristic of people his age, and he's really responsible, even if a little quiet. This will not be a loss for Qinghan."

Li Yu's spoke at length, not the least bit stingy with her praises for Zhou Donghuang. Luo Wuchen felt a little jealous as he listened to her speak. This mother-in-law of his had never praised him like this!

Jealous as he was, he was still rather careful when it came to the issue of his daughter's marriage.

He was finally able to put his mind at ease after hearing Li Yu's analysis.

He mulled over it for a bit, and he realized that the brat was actually not all that bad. He would be tolerable if Luo Wuchen actually made the effort to accept him as his son-in-law.

"He was able to see through the flaws in my dharma power while only being at the Primal Core stage… It seems like his father had left him quite a few gifts when he was abandoned on Ziyun or whatever, or there's no way he would be able to pick out my flaws with that level of training," Luo Wuchen muttered.

"I don't know about the future, but for now, it's not just Qinghan's who's losing out. The entire Luo Family is!"

Luo Wuchen's gaze landed on the stack of papers clutched in Li Yu's hand, and he cursed out, "That brat just hands over a few spirit stones to pass off as a betrothal gift? All he offers is a meager few pieces of paper, is he really that stingy?

"Us Luos are not going to be offering a dowry if he's going to be that stingy!"

Luo Wuchen was rather exasperated and frenzied.

"Betrothal gift?"

Li Yu lifted the stack of papers at Luo Wuchen's reminder. She became serious, and her face started hardening over.

"Hm?"

Luo Wuchen's heart skipped a beat at the look on Li Yu's face. "What did the kid write on those pieces of paper?"

After a beat, he saw glee creep onto Li Yu's face, then a manic joy. Her eyes and then her whole face morphed into glee, and she could no longer restrain herself from bursting out into raucous laughter.

The old lady's laugh echoed in the large hall, which made Luo Wuchen all the more curious about just what was written on the paper.

"Good, good… Good!"

"I, Li Yu, will definitely cross into the Primordial Soul stage with this practice method!"

Li Yu was speaking excitedly.

"Practice method?"

Luo Wuchen's pupils constricted. Those were practice methods that would help his mother-in-law cross into the Primordial Soul stage?

The thing was that, though his mother-in-law had been trying to do so for over a hundred years, it was practically impossible for her to do so.

This was something that the lady in question had personally admitted a long time ago, an outcome that she had long since been preparing for.

He just did not expect this that his mother-in-law would take one look at the practice methods left behind by his future son-in-law and already proclaim that she would definitely cross over into the Primordial Soul stage with these methods?

Just what kind of practice methods were these?

"Mother-in-law, what are the practice methods that the kid left you?"

Luo Wuchen balked at Li Yu. He could not help his curiosity, so he asked her.

"It's the Technique of Everlasting Youth!"

Li Yu's eyes were broiling as she stared at the paper in her hands. She flipped through the pages quickly. "This technique is far superior to the one I had been training with and the one your family owns.

"I'd even go so far as to say that what I had simply pales in comparison to this technique!

"Not only will this technique speed up my training time, but it will also strengthen my Dharma power… For Dharma adepts, their Dharma power is strengthened if their practice methods are good.

"If I succeed in completely switching over to this practice method, I'm confident I will be able to go head-to-head with the Supreme Dharma adepts from the top sects of Tianxuan, even if I'm still just a late Dharma adept."

"And it's not just that. My lifespan will be extended by three centuries if I succeed in switching over. Even if I don't become a Primordial Soul, I can still live to be 900 years old!"

The Technique of Everlasting Youth was the very same practice method that Zhou Donghuang had handed over to his mother, Lin Lan, in the past. Once they trained enough to reach the Primal Core stage, their lifespan could increase by 50% longer than that of Primal Core adepts.

The longest the Primal Core adepts who trained with this practice method could live to be was 450 years old.

Once they crossed over into the Dharma stage, they could live to be twice as old as that, which was a 50% extension of the average Dharma adept's lifespan of 600 years.

So on and so forth for the subsequent levels of practice.

Anyone who trained using this practice method would have their lifespans extended by 50% of their peers.

"To think this practice method would be able to extend one's lifespan… This is no different than playing God!"

Li Yu became increasingly excited the more she spoke. "Donghuang added a note at the back. This practice method is the best of its kind, no matter where you are in this boundless universe!

"He said that he would hand the latter part of this practice method to us after we step into the Primordial Soul stage.

"With this practice method, you can train until you become a deity!"

…

Luo Wuchen was completely stunned.

Just up until a moment he had been talking down that future son-in-law of his, calling him stingy for only handing a stack of paper and some spirit stones over as a betrothal gift.

Who would have known that he would be slapped in the face like this just a moment later?

He took over the records of The Technique of Everlasting Youth from Lin Yu who was still rambling on and on. He then looked over it to verify that it was authentic, and he could not help the look of excitement that appeared on his face. He was so excited that he started to slap his thighs.

"Good, good… Good! A good son-in-law, what a good son-in-law he is!

"I, Luo Wuchen, acknowledge him as my son-in-law! If that Qinghan has anything to say about this, I'll break her legs!"

It was rare, but Li Yu did not counter what the man had said this time. Instead, she exclaimed in agreement, "That's right! If that girl dares to go against this marriage, you break her left leg and I'll break her right!"

Chapter 221: Third Senior Sister

"The Lightning Sword Sect… It should be right up ahead."

After he arrived by the galaxy teleporter, the young man clad in white from head to toe stayed afloat in their air. He stared out in the distance as he muttered under his breath, his gaze fixed on the buildings nestled in the midst of the tips of blades.

The galaxy teleporter was behind the young man. On it, the coordinates were clearly marked out:

Hengliu galaxy.

The Tielao planet.

The Lightning Sword Sect.

The young man clad in white was Zhou Donghuang, who had just left the Tianxuan planet of the Luohe galaxy, and traveled all the way to the Tielao planet in the Hengliu galaxy.

"This time… Third Senior Sister should still be in the Autumn Valley of the Lightning Sword Sect."

Zhou Donghuang came to this place because there was someone he knew here. More accurately, someone he knew from his previous life: his third senior sister.

He did not care for many people in his previous life, but this person was one of the people he held close to his heart.

He was not the reason for her demise, but he did owe her a great debt of gratitude since she had saved his life on multiple occasions, and it was because of this that the man was heartbroken when she had passed.

His heartbreak had translated into a self-hatred. Why was he not strong enough to prevent her death? Why could he do nothing but watch as she died in front of him?

Although he avenged her eventually, there was no way to bring her back to life.

But he had the power to alter history now that he had reincarnated into a life that existed a millennium before his previous one, and there was no way he would let the person he cherished like his own mother and sister slip through his fingers again.

"In my last life, the Lightning Sword Sect was tragically wiped out, but she was lucky to have escaped with her life. After they left the Hengliu galaxy, she joined the same sect and served the same master I did.

"I'd even go as far as to say that the only reason I was able to join that sect was because of her… Otherwise, there was no way the master would have even taken a second look at me."

His Third Senior Sister went by the name, "He Mengxi" and was an entire decade older than he was.

In his previous life, she had already been an ultimate Primordial Soul adept by the time he met her, and her powers were simply astonishing.

An adept at the Primordial Soul stage who had not even been 200 hundred years old was considered gifted, even when compared to the vast universe.

It was important to note that plenty of people improved by leaps and bounds in a short time when they were still in the early phases of their training, but they would also hit a bottleneck and cease to improve.

In his previous life, Zhou Donghuang knew of a person who crossed into the Dharma stage before she turned thirty, then into the Primordial Soul stage before fifty.

However, that person had been stuck at the Primordial Soul stage all the way until the last second of the thousand-year limit before eventually dying in his sleep.

It was worth noting that he had already crossed into the Primordial Soul stage before he turned 300.

He had not been able to cross into the Divine Transformation stage in the 700 years that followed and had ended up dying when his lifespan expired.

The average Primordial Soul adept lived to a thousand years.

Of course, if the adept trained using the Technique of Everlasting Youth, they could extend their lifespan to 1,500 years.

"Your Highness, why have you come to the Lightning Sword Sect?"

Zhou Donghuang was stopped by someone the moment he came close enough to the perimeter of the buildings that were nestled in the midst of blade tips.

He was stopped by two young men who looked to be about 30 years old. The golden inner Yuan that swirled around them made it clear that the both of them were Golden Essence adepts.

One of the men had a lanky build, and strapped to his back was a sheathed long sword.

The other man had a large, unsheathed blade strapped horizontally to his back. Well, a good craftsman never blamed his tools.

The two men were the two people from the Autumn Valley of the Lightning Sword Sect who were on patrol duty. They had managed to stop Zhou Donghuang in time when they found him getting closer to the sect.

"Gentlemen, I'm looking for He Mengxi from your sect," Zhou Donghuang said.

"You're looking for Junior Sister He?"

At Zhou Donghuang's words, the two men on patrol squinted a little, and the cold expression they had on their faces a while ago melted into something more friendly.

He Mengxi was none other than the daughter of the Autumn Valley Head of the Lightning Sword Sect, the cherished daughter of the sect.

"Who are you, boy? Why are you looking for Junior Sister He?"

There was a hint of a smile on the lanky disciple's face as he asked very politely. The man's condescension had nothing to do with the fact that Zhou Donghuang was only a Silver Essence adept.

The silver inner Yuan surrounding Zhou Donghuang's body at this very moment was a clear indicator of that.

"She's my senior."

Zhou Donghuang chuckled blandly.

"Your senior?!"

Zhou Donghuang's response shocked the two disciples. Was this man saying that he was a disciple that the Autumn Valley Head had accepted outside of the sect?

He seemed to be about 20 years or so, slightly older than 20 at most, but he was already a Silver Essence adept.

It could be possible.

"Junior Brother, I'll bring you to Autumn Valley right now."

The lanky disciple brought Zhou Donghuang into the sect after he exchanged greetings with someone else.

On the way there, Zhou Donghuang scanned the mountains that had stood tall, resembling sharp blades that were piercing through the clouds with their tips. It was rather obvious that these blade tips were carved to look the way they did now; every single one of them looked like a sword.

It must have taken quite a bit of effort to carve the dozens of these mountains into such sharp blades, even if the one doing the carving were Diving Transformation adept.

"Junior Brother, you're the disciple our Autumn Valley Head accepted outside of the sect, right? Why are you only here now?" the lanky disciple questioned curiously.

"There were some issues I had to deal with."

Zhou Donghuang responded flippantly. It was not like he could admit that he did not know the man and had never even seen him, right?

When he had been acquainted with his third senior sister in his past life, her father—who was the Autumn Valley's Head—had long passed following the collapse of the Lightning Sword Sect.

Now, his priority was meeting his third senior sister.

Everything would be easier if he met her.

"How do I address you?"

"Zhou Donghuang."

"So it's Junior Brother Zhou, huh… Junior Brother Zhou, I'm Liu Ping. I'm a disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect."

Liu Ping was leading the way to the Autumn Valley of the Lightning Sword Sect. He was very enthusiastic and hospitable, so much so that it was unnerving Zhou Donghuang.

Why was that?

Zhou Donghuang was growing suspicious of his enthusiasm. This Liu Ping, did he know that he had been an adept at the Heavenly Stage in his previous life?

Why else would he be this enthusiastic, to the extent of bootlicking?

The sect divided its disciples into outer and inner disciples, and only the inner disciples could join the Autumn Valley, which was part of the Four Valleys, to become a disciple of the Four Valleys.

The four valleys were as followed: Spring Valley, Summer Valley, Autumn Valley, and Winter Valley.

Generally speaking, there was only one way for an outer disciple to become an inner disciple is to enter the four valleys: that was to reach the Dharma stage and become a Dharma adept before turning 30.

The other way was to catch the eye of the four Valley leaders and have them accept you personally… And it was precisely because of this that there were a few young disciples in the four valleys that were not yet at the Dharma stage.

These young disciples who had joined the Four Valleys were still considered inner disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect even if they were not at the Dharma stage yet.

Liu Ping, who was currently leading the way for Zhou Donghuang, was but an outer disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect. He was about 30 years old and not yet at the Dharma stage.

The inner disciples were all individuals who were naturally gifted, and even the worst of them could become an elder in the Lightning Sword Sect in the future when they were more experienced.

They were not like the outer disciples who could spend their whole lives training and still become nothing more than an in-charge for matters outside of the sect.

Liu Ping thought that this Junior Brother Zhou standing in front of him must be someone who was born with a talent that set him apart from his peers, someone who had a limitless potential within him, for the Autumn Valley head to have made an exception to take him in.

He had the chance to exchange words with this guy and make a friend out of him now.

In the future, he might not even have the opportunity to speak to him.

It was best that he got acquainted with Zhou Donghuang now before that happened; there were only pros and no cons to doing so.

"Junior Brother Zhou, we're at the Autumn Valley."

Under Liu Ping's guidance, Zhou Donghuang came to a stop in front of a spacious valley. The maple leaves were floating in the space of the valley, and it made for quite the picture of autumn.

The ground was covered with red maple leaves, and many of the flowers and grass had withered to nothing. Some of the fruit trees had ripened fruits hanging from them.

"This is the Autumn Valley?"

Zhou Donghuang's heart skipped a beat.

"An outer disciple? What are you doing here?"

A shadow flew out from a side of the hillside of the Autumn Valley. It was an impressive young man clad in green robes. Though he was walking on air, not a trace of inner Yuan was visible around his body. It was clear that this man was a Dharma adept.

One had to at least be a Dharma adept to be able to conceal their inner Yuan.

"Outer disciple Liu Ping. I offer my greetings to you, Senior Brother Huang."

Liu Ping greeted the man respectfully, introducing Zhou Donghuang in the same breath. "Senior Brother Huang, this is Junior Brother Zhou. He's a disciple who's been accepted by Valley Head He from outside. Today is his first day here with us at the Lightning Sword Sect."

Without waiting for the other man to respond, he smiled and turned to speak to Zhou Donghuang, "Junior Brother Zhou, I'll be taking my leave now since I've already brought you here to the Autumn Valley."

The man in green robes took a good look at Zhou Donghuang after Liu Ping left. "You. You're a disciple the Valley Head accepted from outside?"

Zhou Donghuang did not respond. Instead, he smiled blandly at the man. "Please take me to Senior Sister Mengxi, if you don't mind."

"Follow me."

The young man decked in green did not ask any more questions after he heard that Zhou Donghuang wanted to meet Mengxi, someone his Valley Head cherished like gold. He moved ahead to lead the way.

"Junior Sister Mengxi, someone's here for you."

The young man brought Zhou Donghuang to the other side of the hill where there was a spacious courtyard built atop an expansive stone platform.

Not long after the young man spoke, a charming silhouette floated out from the courtyard. It was a young lady dressed in a long, sky-blue dress.

The lady looked to be about 20 years old—it was impossible to tell that she was over 30 just by looking at her. She had beautiful eyebrows that looked drawn on and eyes that shone like stars. Her cheeks were stained with delicate beauty, and her long hair was draped on her back like a waterfall. She stood there, a slim woman 1.7 meters tall with long legs that caught one's eye.

Zhou Donghuang's gaze was completely fixed on her as she walked out. His body was trembling inconspicuously, and he could not keep his calm any longer.

More than 800 years.

It had been more than 800 years since he had seen his third senior sister.

She looked exactly like the memory he had of her, just a little younger and not as mature as he had remembered her to be.

"Who are you, and what are you here for?"

He Mengxi stared at the young man in white robes who stood to the side of the one clad in green, confusion clouding her features.

"Junior Sister Mengxi, you… you don't know this man?"

The man's face changed in an instant.

Chapter 222: Pack of Lies

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Who are you? Why are you pretending to be an Autumn Valley disciple?"

The young man glared at Zhou Donghuang. Never in his wildest dreams had he expected someone to pose as a disciple of the Autumn Valley.

Wasn't he afraid of death?

He had only agreed to bring this young stranger to He Mengxi because he could never have imagined anyone pretending to be an Autumn Valley disciple.

He'd failed to consider that perhaps He Mengxi did not know that the Autumn Valley Lord had already accepted this young man as a disciple. However, this scenario was practically impossible.

He Mengxi was the Autumn Valley Lord's only daughter!

"Posing as an Autumn Valley disciple?"

He Mengxi frowned a little when she heard what the young man said before finally turning to take a good look at him.

The young man dressed in white met her gaze. She had a weird feeling. It was almost as if he knew her.

Then, a different young man dressed in green took a step forward. Dharma manifested around his body. He Mengxi stopped him before he could harm Zhou Donghuang. "Wait, Senior Brother Huang Long."

The young man dressed in green was named Huang Long. Although he was not as strong as He Mengxi, he was older than her and had been a part of the Autumn Valley before He Mengxi had even entered the Dharma stage. By these merits, she had to address him as "Senior Brother."

Huang Long could not defy her. The Dharma disappeared, and he sheathed his sword, still glaring warily at Zhou Donghuang.

"Do you know me?"

He Mengxi looked at Zhou Donghuang. Suspicion swam in her eyes.

"Third Senior Sister."

Zhou Donghuang finally snapped out of his daze. He worked hard to suppress his emotions, which were threatening to swirl out of control because of his agitation. He took a deep breath, then smiled and greeted He Mengxi.

"Third Senior Sister?"

He Mengxi was taken aback by the title Zhou Donghuang had used to greet her. "Have you mistaken me for someone else?"

"Third Senior Sister, I wish to speak with you alone," Zhou Donghuang said.

"Listen, punk. It's bad enough that you're posing as an Autumn Valley disciple. Now, you're even trying to make ridiculous requests of Junior Sister He Mengxi!" Huang Long ranted angrily.

He Mengxi's eyes met Zhou Donghuang's. After a moment, she turned to look at Huang Long and said, "Senior Brother Huang Long, you have your own business to attend to. I'd like to hear what he has to say. I'll deal with him appropriately. If he doesn't have a good explanation for his actions, I'll chase him out of Autumn Valley and the Lightning Sword Sect."

Huang Long nodded. Before taking his leave, he glared at Zhou Donghuang and warned, "Don't pull any tricks, punk!"

It was more or less an empty threat.

He Mengxi was far stronger than him, and he did not think that this Silver Essence adept posed much of a threat to He Mengxi.

After Huang Long left, He Mengxi stared at Zhou Donghuang, who had not moved an inch since his arrival. "Now that it's just the two of us, what was it you wanted to say?"

"Third Senior Sister."

Zhou Donghuang stared at He Mengxi. His speech was neither too fast nor too slow. "When you were six, you secretly put a mouse in your father's boots. You were afraid that he would punish you, so you snuck back to retrieve the mouse."

"How do you know that?!"

He Mengxi paled immediately. Only she knew about that. Not even her father knew.

As this young man standing in front of her told her about this incident, a chill ran down her spine.

Who was he? How did he know her secret?

Zhou Donghuang did not answer, but pressed on, "You reached the Connate stage on the very first day of the year when you turned 13. You wanted your father to praise you, so you told him that you reached the stage on the last day of your twelfth year."

He Mengxi's pupils constricted. Again, this was something only she knew.

"When you were 19…"

"When you were 21…"

Everything Zhou Donghuang recounted were stories that Third Senior Sister had shared with him in his previous life during moments of idle chatter.

She had told him all of these things before, and they were stories no one else knew but her.

"You…Just who are you?"

He Mengxi stared at the young man in front of her, and her face was devoid of any color. She felt that she had no secrets from this person.

"Third Senior Sister," Zhou Donghuang said with a smile, "there is no reason for you to be afraid. These are the only secrets of your that I know. You may not believe me, but I learned all of this from my dreams.

"During the last year and a half, I had a long, long dream. You were my Third Senior Sister in that dream, and you told me of your origins. You are He Mengxi, a disciple of the Autumn Valley of the Lightning Sword Sect in Tielao in the Hengliu Stars.

"I'm not a Tielao native. I'm not even from the Hengliu Stars. I come from Ziyun, a planet in the Kaiyuan Galaxy.

"The strongest of the Top 5 Sects in Ziyun is the Donghuang Sect, and I am its current leader. I left Ziyun half a year ago.

"Third Senior Sister, you can verify all of this. I just never thought that it was anything other than a dream!" Zhou Donghuang exclaimed.

While he was telling her all this, he could see suspicion and doubt in her eyes, so he decided to tell her everything. He feared nothing.

"If what I said earlier about your secrets is true and those are things that only you know, how else would I know about them? You don't think I can read other people's memories, do you? Besides, I'm a decade younger than you. I wasn't even born yet when you were sixteen," Zhou Donghuang continued talking.

The only reason why he was lying through his teeth like this now was that he knew of no other way to explain everything to his Third Senior Sister.

Other than what he had just come up with, he could not think of a better way to go about encouraging her to accept him as a Junior Brother without divulging the fact that he came from the future—one century from now.

He Mengxi's eyebrows relaxed after listening to what he said. She thought that it made sense.

"So, you're saying that you came all this way to the Lightning Sword Sect and the Autumn Valley because you wanted to meet me to test the veracity of your dream?" He Mengxi asked.

"It's not only that," Zhou Donghuang said with an imposing air. "There was something else in my dream. In the near future, the Lightning Sword Sect will face an existential danger! A disaster will bring about the death of your father, the Autumn Valley Lord. As for you, you will leave Tielao and the Hengliu Stars.

"I met you after this catastrophe occurred. At that time, you were already a Primordial Soul adept. Both of us were in the same sect studying under the same master. The disciples under Master—Big Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister—had already passed before you joined us. Under Master, you ranked third, and I ranked fourth because I joined last. That is why I call you 'Third Senior Sister.'"

Zhou Donghuang did not continue. Different emotions crossed He Mengxi's face.

She thought that everything Zhou Donghuang had said was a little absurd. It was undoubtedly a far-fetched tale.

But he had also revealed several of her secrets, secrets that no one should know. Of this, she was a hundred percent certain!

She took everything in. On the whole, she thought it was ridiculous, but a part of her that believed him.

Anxiety was written all over her face as she asked, "Why would the Lightning Sword Sect face such a thread? When exactly will this happen?"

Zhou Donghuang knew from her question that she had bought his tale. "It was mainly brought about by the Summer Valley Lord. As for the specifics, you never told me in my dream. You didn't mention when exactly it would happen, either."

He Mengxi frowned, and her brow furrowed. Zhou Donghuang interjected, "At that time, you told me that you had not been at the Dharma stage for long when the sect was wiped out.

"Unless my appearance before you today affects your training, when you step into the Dharma stage, take your father with you and leave the Lightning Sword Sect. You should be able to escape unscathed," Zhou Donghuang said.

He Mengxi heaved a sigh of relief.

"Third Senior Sister, Ziyun, from where I come, is no longer a suitable place for me to continue training. I wish to stay in Autumn Valley from now on. Can you help me by putting in a good word with your father?" Zhou Donghuang asked He Mengxi.

He Mengxi listened, then looked steadily at him. "You cannot join Autumn Valley before you turn thirty and step into the Dharma stage. How old are you? And what kind of adept are you?" He Mengxi asked.

"I am 24 and became a Golden Essence adept the year before," Zhou Donghuang responded.

"A Golden Essence adept at 23?"

Her shock was evident. Even she had only become a Golden Essence adept at 24. This young man had become a Golden Essence adept earlier than her?

On top of that, it was clear that the planet he came from was not a more environment suitable for training than here on the Tielao planet, where the Lightning Sword Sect was based.

Within the Autumn Valley, there was a formation used to detect a person's age using their bones. He Mengxi took Zhou Donghuang to have his age assessed, then observed the golden inner Yuan swirling around his body before she finally believed him.

"The martial abilities you've demonstrated are sufficient, for now. I can ask my father to accept you into the Autumn Valley," He Mengxi said to Zhou Donghuang. "However, if you cannot advance to the Dharma stage before you turn thirty, then you will have to leave the Lightning Sword Sect to join the five halls that are outside this sect, no matter how much you want to stay."

The 'five halls outside the Lightning Sword Sect' referred to the Gold Hall, Wood Hall, Water Hall, Fire Hall, and Earth Hall.

Liu Ping—the disciple who had been on patrol earlier and brought Zhou Donghuang to the Autumn Valley—had declared himself a disciple of the Wood Hall.

"Alright."

Zhou Donghuang nodded, but he reminded He Mengxi at the same time, "Third Senior Sister, I think it's best if you refrain from telling your father what I told you just now, just for the time being. It wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't believe it, but it could cause a bit of trouble if he did."

"I know how to deal with this," He Mengxi said. "You mentioned earlier that you were from Ziyun in the Kaiyuan Galaxy and that you're the current leader of the Donghuang Sect, the strongest of Ziyun's Top 5 sects?"

"Yes."

Zhou Donghuang nodded. His eyes twinkled, and he carried himself with a bit more dignity. "When it comes to martial abilities, not a single person in the whole of Ziyun would dare declare themselves stronger than me. I, Zhou Donghuang, am peerless in the whole of Ziyun!"

Chapter 223: Entering Autumn Valley

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Third Senior Sister, you can't travel directly to the Kaiyuan Galaxy and Ziyun using a galaxy teleporter because there aren't any in the Kaiyuan Galaxy," Zhou Donghuang said to He Mengxi. "However, I have the exact coordinates of the galaxy transporter closest to Ziyun, which is adjacent to the Kaiyuan Galaxy. I can give them to you.

"Additionally, I can also make you a three-dimensional map of the stars to show you how to get to Ziyun from the planet with the galaxy transporter."

Zhou Donghuang was truly magnanimous.

In his previous life, he had known Third Senior Sister really well. Since she was extremely cautious and meticulous, she would undoubtedly head to Ziyun to investigate his background. Nothing less would put her heart at ease.

The moment he made the offer, Zhou Donghuang immediately fished out paper and a pen. He set to work drawing up the map and marking out the route from the galaxy teleporter with the coordinates of the Northern Wilderness of Heyu in the Akiyama Galaxy. Then he handed the map to He Mengxi.

He Mengxi did not intervene. Sooner or later, she would ask this man before her to draw an exact map of the stars.

He Mengxi was visibly shocked. Zhou Donghuang said, "I had a series of dreams in which you were a cautious person, so I concluded that you'd make a trip to Ziyun.

"Besides, I will be busy trying to break through this training stage in the days ahead, so I'm planning to stay here in Autumn Valley. That's why I can't take you there," Zhou Donghuang explained.

When she took the map from him, He Mengxi looked at Zhou Donghuang with troubled eyes. In front of him, she felt transparent, as if she could not keep any secrets.

"You said earlier that you dreamed for half a year straight, but the dreams have stopped now. When did they stop?" He Mengxi asked.

Zhou Donghuang took a deep breath. "I woke up from the dream when you passed, Third Senior Sister."

"I died?"

He Mengxi paled. Everyone feared death, especially a woman who had just turned 34. With her current level of training, she should have lived to be 600.

"How did I die?" He Mengxi asked, somber.

"You were killed."

Zhou Donghuang heaved a deep sigh, then said immediately, "But you can rest assured, Third Senior Sister. Now that I'm here in Autumn Valley, I will change the fate that I saw for you in my dreams.

"Besides, based on the fact that you left the Lightning Sword Sect with your father during the crisis, my dreams can be changed.

"In reality, I've already changed our life paths as shown in the dream by appearing in front of you and telling you all of this. In my dream, I only came to know you a hundred years from now," Zhou Donghuang said.

He Mengxi heaved a sigh of relief. If this were the case, it would not be impossible to change her and her father's fates.

"I'll bring you to my father, and he will accept you into the Autumn Valley."

He Mengxi brought Zhou Donghuang to her father, He Jin, who was Autumn Valley's current leader.

He Jin was a man of average height and appearance. He wore a mustache and a goatee, and it was difficult to find any point of similarity between him and He Mengxi.

One could even go so far as to say that it was difficult to imagine that He Jin, who was so plain you could easily lose him in a crowd, could be the father of such a pretty daughter.

Zhou Donghuang scrutinized He Jin and at last managed to find a similarity: their ears were practically identical.

"Father, this is Zhou Donghuang, a martial genius whom I met outside. He turned 24 this year. Last year, he became an adept at the Golden Essence stage, a year earlier than me."

As He Mengxi stood in front of He Jin, the air of maturity she had exuded earlier disappeared. She became a lively little girl, clinging to He Jin's arm as she introduced Zhou Donghuang to him with a smile.

"Valley Lord," Zhou Donghuang greeted He Jin with his head bowed and his hands in a fist-and-palm salute.

Of course, he was only greeting the person in front of him out of respect for his Third Senior Sister, He Mengxi.

She was the only reason he was greeting anyone at all. He would not greet the Lightning Sword Sect's leader, even if the man appeared in front of him. If she werne't there, he certainly wouldn't greet He Jin, who was only the leader of Autumn Valley's Lightning Sword Sect.

This was a result of the pride he'd acquired in his past life as a peerless adept.

"I trust Mengxi's judgement."

It was evident that He Jin was genial and approachable. He smiled as he looked at Zhou Donghuang. "Friend, since Mengxi has brought you before me, it's obvious that you wish to join the Lightning Sword Sect and my Autumn Valley."

"Yes." Zhou Donghuang nodded.

"I can allow you to join Autumn Valley, but I must remind you of something…"

Before He Jin could finish, He Mengxi interrupted him, "Father, I've already told him that he'll be kicked out of the Autumn Valley and sent to the five outer halls if he does not move to the Dharma stage before he turns thirty. He'll go from being an inner disciple to an outer disciple."

It was obvious that He Mengxi knew exactly what her father was going to say.

"Since you've already told him all of that, there's no need for me to repeat it."

He Jin stared at He Mengxi affectionately. "It's a yes from me, Mengxi, so you can take him to have the proper procedure carried out."

"Yes, Father," Mengxi agreed. She stared at He Jin longingly, unwilling to leave. She finally left with Zhou Donghuang when her father shot her a startled look.

"That brat. She's never been this clingy before."

He Jin shook his head and chuckled at her longing gaze. His eyes filled with even more affection.

The procedures for entering the sect were not conducted in Autumn Valley but Earth Hall, one of the Lightning Sword Sect's five outer halls.

However, accompanied as he was by He Mengxi, the sole daughter of He Jin, the Autumn Valley Leader, things went smoothly for Zhou Donghuang. Everything was settled within an hour.

Zhou Donghuang collected a total of three items.

The first was a high-quality spirit stone. Only inner disciples could collect spirit stones.

The second was an identity token for the Lightning Sword Sect's inner disciples. It was a silver token shaped like a sword with the word 'Lightning' carved onto it. Zhou Donghuang's name was carved on the reverse side.

The last item was a red metal badge in the shape of a maple leaf, and his name was again carved on the back. This was the symbol of Autumn Valley's disciples. He pinned the badge to his chest.

"For inner disciples, there are a total of four valleys, and the Autumn Valley is one. There is also the Spring Valley, the Summer Valley, and the Winter Valley. Including you, there are 56 of us in the Autumn Valley.

" Inner disciples who graduate to the Primordial Soul stage before turning 100 are eligible to become core disciples. Then, they can leave the Four Valleys and head to Lightning Peak to train.

"Lightning Peak is where the core disciples and the sect's strongest gather and train. Every once in awhile, some of the sect's strongest hold lectures there.

"As the leader of Autumn Valley and one of the pillars of the Lightning Sword Sect, my father goes there to give a few lectures every year.

"Core disciples collect ten high-quality spirit stones every year."

Zhou Donghuang listened to He Mengxi's explanations. He thought about Ziyun, where the five strongest sects had miniature, inferior-quality spirit stone veins. He could not help but sigh.

It was obvious that the Lightning Sword Sect had deep pockets by comparison.

And not only that—based on what Third Senior Sister had told him in his previous life, he knew that the Lightning Sword Sect was the top sect among the Hengliu Stars.

Initially, when he had learned that the nemesis of the Dharma adept who had left behind the Soul Shaper was in the Hengliu Stars, he had thought it was a coincidence because he had already been planning to head to the Lightning Sword Sect to train.

After reaching Tianxun in the Luohe Stars, he'd learned from the Luo family that his fiancée, Luo Qinghan, was also in the Hengliu Stars. This was too much of a coincidence.

"Third Senior Sister told me in my previous life that there were adepts at the Divine Transformation stage in the Lightning Sword Sect. With their power, they should have at least one small-scale, high-quality spirit stone vein and several large-scale, mid-quality spirit stone veins."

Zhou Donghuang's heart skipped a beat.

"Let's go back to Autumn Valley, and I'll introduce you to the other disciples."

After He Mengxi brought Zhou Donghuang back with her to Autumn Valley, she took the skies. She officially introduced Zhou Donghuang to a group of disciples and informed everyone that there was a new disciple in Autumn Valley.

"Why don't you introduce yourself, Junior Brother?" He Mengxi prompted Zhou Donghuang.

She had referred to him at first as 'Junior Brother Zhou,' but he insisted on her calling him 'Little Junior Brother' instead. Since he was so adament about this, he Mengxi could only agree. After all, he was the only one she could rely on to change her and her father's fates.

She also had a thought—a fleeting one, which she never vocalized nor shared with Zhou Donghuang. She wanted to change the fate of the whole of the Lightning Sword Sect so that they might avoid eradication.

"Hello, everyone. I am Zhou Donghuang." Zhou Donghuang stepped forward. He looked around at the levitating crowd surrounding him and greeted them.

"Haha! Hello, Junior Brother Zhou!"

"Junior Brother Zhou is so handsome. Is it okay if I seduce you?"

"Junior Brother Zhou is only an adept at the Golden Essence stage, but he's already a part of Autumn Valley. It seems like the valley leader has a lot of faith in Junior Brother Zhou's martial talents."

"Junior Brother Zhou, you haven't picked a training ground yet, have you? Why don't you stay at mine? There's a yard nearby where you can rest. I'll guide you when I have time this evening."

Even in the worlds beyond planet Earth, good looks were useful. The power of charm was ubiquitous in the universe's endless expanse.

The most welcoming of all were the female disciple. They cast flirty glances at him.

Many male disciples stared at him, jealously.

"That punk. Did the valley leader accept him without Junior Sister Mengxi's knowledge?"

Huang Long, the disciple who had brought Zhou Donghuang to He Mengxi two hours ago, floated over. He had his guesses.

"Then again, it's only been two hours. How did he go from being at the Silver Essence stage to the Golden Essence stage? Did he break through in two hours?"

Zhou Donghuang was hovering right in front of He Mengxi. Golden swirls of inner Yuan conspicuously surrounded him.

Chapter 224: A Giant Three Meters Tall

Zhou Donghuang already had a plan before ever leaving Ziyun.

He would leave Ziyun and make for Tielao in the Hengliu Stars. Then, he would go to the Lightning Sword Sect to look for his Third Senior Sister, He Mengxi, and help her reverse the sect's fate so she wouldn't be lost.

However, if things worked out, He Mengxi might not become a disciple of the same master under whom she'd trained in her previous life. Still, he would respect any decision she made, as long as she was the one making it.

"The Lightning Sword Sect, Tielao, and even the Hengliu Stars are adequate training environments before I reach the Primordial Soul stage. I'll stay in the Hengliu Stars to train before I move to that stage." This was Zhou Donghuang's plan.

"Da Zhuang."

He Mengxi looked out at the crowd and noticed a sturdy figure hovering around the fringes.

"There is an unoccupied yard beside yours. Bring the little Junior Brother along with you. While you're at it, help him tidy up the place. You entered the sect before he did, so you have to look out for him," He Mengxi said in a gentle tone, and she sounded very much like a gentle spring breeze.

"Yes, Senior Sister."

As he spoke, Zhou Donghuang's gaze fell on the man.

The sturdy figure floated over, coming closer to Zhou Donghuang.

This young man was so fit it was almost comical. He looked to be about three meters tall, but in terms of his build, he was more or less on a par with one zhang of Dharma as coagulated by adepts at the early Dharma stage.

One zhang was equivalent to about 3.3 meters.

In the blink of an eye, this giant of a man stood firmly in front of Zhou Donghuang. He was unmoving like an iron pagoda.

His mouth split into a grin to reveal two rows of pearly white teeth. He looked rather honest and straightforward when he smiled—almost a little foolish. "Hello, Little Junior Brother. I'm Da Zhuang. It's nice to meet you."

Da Zhuang's build was hulking. Even though Zhou Donghuang was 1.8 meters tall, he was dwarfed by Da Zhuang and felt like a child.

Just then, He Mengxi appeared beside Zhou Donghuang in a flash and whispered to him so quietly only he could hear, "Little Junior Brother, Da Zhuang is only an adept at the Golden Essence stage, even though he's already 29. He's always been a little slower than his peers, so you better not bully him."

She spoke earnestly, and Zhou Donghuang gathered from her tone that this Da Zhuang held a special place in Third Senior Sister's heart. Why else would he trigger her maternal instincts?

"Da Zhuang."

After she quietly instructed Zhou Donghuang, she turned to look at the giant. "I'll have to leave the sect in a few days for a place that's quite far away, so please help me take care of Little Junior Brother."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I'll be around, and anyone who messes with Little Junior Brother will have to deal with me!" Da Zhuang grinned, looking like a fool.

At the same time, Zhou Donghuang's gaze, which was directed at Da Zhuang, softened. His heart stirred. "This must be the person that Third Senior Sister told me about in her past life, the disciple who fought to send her to the galaxy teleporter when she was heavily injured, then sacrificed himself to buy her more time.

"I remember Third Senior Sister mentioned him before. His name was Da Zhuang."

The fog around his past life memories lifted.

In his past life, He Mengxi's eyes shone with a mother's love every time she mentioned Da Zhuang, the Autumn Valley disciple who had given up his life to save hers. She heaved a heavy sigh each time she spoke his name.

And it was precise because he had remembered this that his attitude toward Da Zhuang started changing somewhat.

"Little Junior Brother, why don't you go with Da Zhuang?" He Mengxi suggested to Zhou Donghuang.

Then, she looked at the rest of Autumn Valley's disciples. "As for the rest of you, run along now. Get back to what you have to do!"

In terms of seniority, He Mengxi was not high up on the ladder. But as the only daughter of the Autumn Valley Lord, He Jin, she had been born with an inherent charm that could sway crowds.

With just one word from her, the horde of disciples scattered. Of course, there were still a few stragglers throwing flirty glances at Zhou Donghuang before reluctantly taking their leave.

Although there were quite a few male disciples in Autumn Valley, not a single one had caught the eye of any female disciples.

This disciple who had just joined the valley made their hearts skip a beat. His face alone beguiled them. It was as if their hormones, which had been dormant for many years, were suddenly triggered.

"Come with me, Little Junior Brother." Da Zhuang grinned dopily at Zhou Donghuang. He walked ahead to lead the way, and Zhou Donghuang followed closely.

The yard where Da Zhuang stayed was near where He Mengxi and He Jin were staying—they were all situated on the east side, halfway up the hill.

Of course, there was still some distance separating their yards.

Halfway up the hill, they heard the sound of water below. A small waterfall poured down. It hit a stone platform then bloomed into water flowers.

There were two yards behind the stone platform.

Each yard housed a spacious room, and in front of the doors to the rooms was a courtyard where plants and flowers grew. There was also a stone table surrounded by several stone stools.

One of the yards was clean and tidy, but the other was covered with a layer of dust and several cobwebs.

"I'll help you clean this up, Little Junior Brother," Da Zhuang said as he rolled down his sleeves and headed into the dusty yard. Zhou Donghuang wondered what he was going to do with his sleeves like that. He soon realized Da Zhuang intended to use his sleeves to wipe the table and the door.

"He's an adept at the Golden Essence stage, after all. Is this necessary?" Zhou Donghuang was speechless. This man was a bit of an inflexible blockhead.

Cling!!

Cling clang!!

Zhou Donghuang walked into the yard, which Da Zhuang was still tidying, and golden inner Yuan forcefully seeped out and around his body. The inner Yuan started tidying up the area, looking every bit like a mini-tornado.

In the blink of an eye, all the dust and cobwebs in the yard were swept up by the inner Yuan swirling around Zhou Donghuang's body.

Just like that, the yard was spick and span.

Whoosh!

Under Da Zhuang's stunned gaze, Zhou Donghuang left the stone platform and nimbly leaped into the air.

Along with the inner Yuan that had dissipated the dust, he filtered down through the air.

As for his white robes, they remained shiny and new, untouched by the dust.

"You're so clever, Little Junior Brother. Why didn't I think of using inner Yuan to tidy up the yard?"

Da Zhuang followed him out and extended a hand to hit his head. "No wonder Senior Sister is always calling me an idiot. It turns out, it's because I am one! Little Junior Brother, what can I do to become as clever as you?"

Da Zhuang stared eagerly at Zhou Donghuang.

"Being clever isn't always a good thing," Zhou Donghuang said with a shake of his head.

So the saying went: win some, lose some. The smarter the person, the more numerous their worries.

And as for people like Da Zhuang, who were born with gigantism, they were not always very bright. Though they might not be the sharpest tools in the shed, at least they did not have a lot of worries.

Da Zhuang could not understand. "Why would it be a bad thing? Senior Sister said that if I were smarter, I wouldn't be a match for the rest, even though I'm just an outer disciple," Da Zhuang said as he scratched his head. His worries were written all over his face. "I'm too stupid. Senior Sister says I react too slowly, and I'm always half a beat behind."

Slow reaction?

Zhou Donghuang smiled.

In his past life, he had met quite a few people like Da Zhuang with hulking builds. They'd all been in the same situation he had just described. Without exception, they were all powerhouses.

He might be a little dull, but he still had a functioning brain.

He might be slow, but he was not inept.

He was probably better situated in life than the average person, provided that he found the right path.

"Come! Strike me," Zhou Donghuang said to Da Zhuang all of a sudden.

"Huh?" Da Zhuang was shocked and unable to react.

"I'm asking you to strike me with all you've got," Zhou Donghuang repeated.

"With all I have? Attack you?"

Da Zhuang finally recovered from his shock. He hurriedly shook his head. "I can't, Little Junior Brother. Although I can strike the other adepts who are at the Golden Essence stage, I can't say the same for you. I'll become really strong the moment I strike you. The strength of my punch is far stronger than that of the average adept at the Golden Essence stage. Not even they dare to challenge me," Da Zhuang refused to hit him. As he spoke, it seemed like he was afraid of hurting Zhou Donghuang.

"You're strong?"

Zhou Donghuang was taken aback then smiled. "Well, then. Now I want to witness this for myself…"

As soon as he said that, he made his move.

Whoosh!!

The golden inner Yuan surrounding Zhou Donghuang swept through the air and moved toward Da Zhuang in a split second. It took the shape of a punch packing golden essence and flew at Da Zhuang.

Flames surged out from the fist like golden fireworks.

Zhou Donghuang's punch forced Da Zhuang's hand, but he remained cautious. He tried to estimate the strength of the hit before retaliating with a blow that was more or less as powerful as the one Zhou Donghuang had dealt him.

Boom!!

A loud sound rang out. Da Zhuang's huge fist collided with Zhou Donghuang's. Two golden flames collided, equally matched in strength.

"I've only used 70% of my strength, Little Junior Brother," Da Zhuang said to Zhou Donghuang with a grin.

"You're strong, indeed."

Zhou Donghuang was a little shocked. Da Zhuang's strength came from his physical body. That alone was already stronger than the power of mid-quality spirit weapons summoned by adepts at the Golden Essence stage.

This strength was a natural battle machine.

Not only did his vast body look colossal, but the strength it contained was immense. Zhou Donghuang could also tell that this strength was untainted by any training.

A person like this, who could possess such strength solely through tempering his body with inner Yuan, could be regarded as a one-in-a-million genius in terms of physical training!

"Alright, let's stop here," Zhou Donghuang said to Da Zhuang.

"Okay."

Da Zhuang withdrew his fist with a dopey grin. Zhou Donghuang also lowered his and stood up straight. He looked at Da Zhuang with sparkling eyes. "This Da Zhuang was born to train using the Fiery Thunder Training Regimen!"
