Chapter 295: Luo Qinghan's departure

"Seventh Brother, I've come to find you this time to ask you to use the connections you have with the Lightning Sword Sect to get your contact to monitor Zhou Donghuang's actions… Once it is confirmed that he has left the Lightning Sword Sect, we can send someone to murder him!"

Qi Rui spoke in a harsh tone. "Not only did he disregard me personally, indirectly, but he also disregarded the Qi Dynasty, and this cannot be tolerated!

"Furthermore, it is clear that he has no intention to join the Qi Dynasty. Who knows if he intends to join the Guangling Academy? The Guangling Academy is our Qi Dynasty's direct nemesis, and we cannot allow the Guangling Academy to take him in!

"Since the Qi Dynasty can't have him, let's destroy him!"

Qi Rui spoke with a forceful tone, and it sounded as if he had a huge grudge against Zhou Donghuang.

However, after hearing Qi Rui's words, Qi Feng maintained his neutral expression and spoke casually in reply. "Little brother, could it be that in extending your invitation, you were not sincere enough and rushed him for a decision? True talents are often arrogant and hard to sway."

Qi Feng himself was talented and could have been considered one of the most outstanding princes of the Qi Dynasty. Naturally, he had assumed that Zhou Donghuang of the Lightning Sword Sect would similarly possess the same high level of arrogance.

"Seventh Brother, you weren't present then. If not, I can guarantee that you would have wanted to give him a slap as well!" Qi Rui said.

"Whether or not we should kill him is not something we should decide now… You have not shared this news with Father, right?" Qi Feng asked.

"No." Qi Rui shook his head. "I only returned recently with Uncle Chu Wei. According to him, this matter should be reported to Father by you."

"Ah, he is obliging indeed."

Qi Feng smiled lightly. "Alright, this matter does not concern you any further. I will share this news with Father now. Afterwards, I will probably pay the Lightning Sword Sect a visit and extend a personal invitation to Zhou Donghuang to visit the Qi Dynasty."

"What if he rejects the offer yet again?"

Qi Rui was doubtful that Zhou Donghuang would change his mind and join the Qi Dynasty.

"If he rejects my offer, well… As per what you said earlier, for what we can't possess, we will destroy so as not to create complications for ourselves in the future."

Once Qi Feng had spoken, a look of murderous intent entered his eyes.

…

It was late at night.

Under the moonlight, an unsuspecting guest suddenly appeared at the galaxy teleporter on the outskirts of the Jihan Sect.

"It's time to leave."

A beautiful young lady dressed in purely green robes spoke lightly before she entered the galaxy teleporter. She chose a discrete teleportation path, and she did not know where she was being sent to as she dialed in the request.

This girl was no ordinary figure; she was a disciple of the Jihan Sect, Luo Qinghan.

With yet another request for teleportation, Luo Qinghan's consciousness slowly drifted… Many years ago, she had used this same method and ended up on the Ziyun planet. Afterwards, she had a fateful encounter with the young man called Zhou Donghuang.

In her eyes, that had been a fateful encounter.

She had assumed that after she left the Ziyun planet and returned home, she would never meet Zhou Donghuang again.

However, not only had Zhou Donghuang appeared before her very eyes yet again, he had even gifted her father and grandmother with many presents… Those favors were things that she could probably never repay him for even with her entire life.

A good lady deserved a gentleman, and this outstanding young man had naturally captured Luo Qinghan's girlish heart.

Had she been moved by Zhou Donghuang?

It was undeniable to Luo Qinghan that she indeed had been moved by him.

"Perhaps, it is hard for us to meet again… but again, perhaps, we will meet in the future. I hoped that I would have caught up to you by now. If there really is such a fateful day in the future, perhaps I will be less indecisive at that point.

"The promise I, Luo Qinghan, made to you, I will never forget… Be it whether you are alive or dead, even if any other outstanding young men appear before me, I will not engage in any romantic relations with them."

As she spoke softly to herself, a white figure suitably appeared in Luo Qinghan's brain.

This figure in white was almost identical to Zhou Donghuang. However, the figure had on a mask, and his face was hidden, and it was thus hard to ascertain his identity.

This was Zhuge Haotian.

Whoosh!

Once the galaxy teleporter cast out a blinding flash of light, Luo Qinghan's figure immediately disappeared, and it was as if she had never visited the teleporter.

A short while after Luo Qinghan had left, within the Jihan Sect, some disciples eventually found the message she had left behind, and the news of her departure also spread to the Jihan Sect Leader, Meng Yuping's ears, within a short period of time.

Within the Jihan Sect, although Luo Qinghan was considered to have rather decent abilities, due to the fact that there were many other outstanding individuals, she was not the most popular and could only be considered one of the slightly above average disciples.

If someone of her level left the sect without any prior notice, the Jihan Sect Leader, Meng Yuping, would not have cared much, and others would not have bothered to notify her as well.

However, it was different in the case of Luo Qinghan.

Although Luo Qinghan's martial arts skills were average, and it was unlikely that she would be immensely successful, the issue was that she was in a relationship with the talented disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect, Zhou Donghuang!

If Luo Qinghan remained in the Jihan Sect, the Jihan Sect would be considered one of her homes, and any of Zhou Donghuang's future successes would be attributed to not just the Lightning Sword Sect but also the Jihan Sect!

Now, however, Luo Qinghan had left without any notice and had only left a letter behind.

"Sect Leader, do you think Luo Qinghan left our sect to visit Zhou Donghuang at the Lightning Sword Sect?" the Jihan Sect elder who reported this news guessed aloud.

"Let's pay a visit to the Lightning Sword Sect together."

Meng Yuping's eyes sparkled. "If Luo Qinghan is indeed at the Lightning Sword Sect, we have to convince her to return here with us. I am willing to accept her as a direct disciple and allow her to enjoy luxurious treatment within the Jihan Sect."

Zhou Donghuang's achievements were too stunning to ignore.

Now, as Zhou Donghuang had not yet reached his full potential, she and the Jihan Sect could use Luo Qinghan and Zhou Donghuang's relationship to their advantage. Once Zhou Donghuang had fully developed himself, the Jihan Sect and Meng Yuping would definitely be held in high regard!

Without any hesitation, once she had spoken, Meng Yuping brought the elder that had reported this piece of news to her and left the Jihan Sect, heading directly for the Lightning Sword Sect through the galaxy teleporter. They were sent to the Tielao planet, where it was situated.

Once they had arrived, they immediately visited the Lightning Sword Sect.

"Luo Qinghan?"

Once he had heard that Luo Qinghan had left the Jihan Sect, the Lightning Sword Sect Leader, Yu Yucheng, was shocked as well, and he replied casually to Meng Yuping, "Unfortunately, I have little information on this matter as well… Perhaps you would like to visit the Autumn Valley Head about this?

"If Luo Qinghan visited the Lightning Sword Sect, she would definitely pay the Autumn Valley a visit as Zhou Donghuang resides within the Autumn Valley," Yu Yucheng said.

"Sect Leader Yu, if it's convenient, do accompany me," Meng Yuping said.

Yu Yucheng glanced meaningfully at Meng Yuping before nodding his head. "Alright."

Towards this sudden visit by Meng Yuping, the Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, was also a little shocked.

However, after hearing that Luo Qinghan had left the Jihan Sect, he shook his head. "She did not visit the Autumn Valley. As for Zhou Donghuang, he has isolated himself for training, and I did not hear of any news that he had brought Luo Qinghan over."

Eventually, He Jin still brought Meng Yuping to where Zhou Donghuang resided.

As for Zhou Donghuang, who had been training hard, he got a shock as well.

"Has anything happened to Luo Qinghan?"

This was the first sentence that Zhou Donghuang had uttered once he had left his room and met with the Jihan Sect Leader, Meng Yuping.

He had had no interaction with the Jihan Sect Leader, Meng Yuping, before and thus assumed that something had happened to Luo Qinghan since she was now paying him a physical visit.

"She hasn't come to find you?"

Once Zhou Donghuang had left his room, Meng Yuping's gaze focused solely on him as if she was trying to read him, but she did not manage to infer anything.

"No."

Zhou Donghuang shook his head and frowned at the same time. "Did something happen to her?"

"She has left the Jihan Sect, and she left a note behind before leaving. She mentioned that if there's a chance in the future, she would like to give back to our sect to thank us for aiding her with her training."

As Meng Yuping spoke, she took out the letter that Luo Qinghan had left behind and passed it to Zhou Donghuang.

Once Zhou Donghuang read the letter, he pocketed it before saying, "Perhaps she has returned home… Of course, it is possible as well that she did not and went elsewhere."

"Do you know where she lives?' Meng Yuping asked.

"I do."

Zhou Donghuang nodded his head and followed Meng Yuping and He Jin on a visit to the Luohe galaxy's Tianxuan planet, where the Luo family resided. However, as Zhou Donghuang had predicted, Luo Qinghan had not gone home.

"What's the matter?"

Be it the head of the Luo family, Luo Wuchen, or Luo Qinghan's grandmother, once they had been notified that Luo Qinghan had left the Jihan Sect, they were rendered speechless, and their facial expressions changed.

Once they had heard of Zhou Donghuang's astounding performance in the Alliance Hunt, Li Yu smiled bitterly. "One thing about that girl is that she is truly too stubborn… Actually, I could tell long ago that she was interested in you, Donghuang.

"From when she was young till now, she has always felt that women should be independent and not depend on strong men… You're too outstanding, and she probably felt slightly threatened.

"She probably left the Jihan Sect for an alternative destination to see if she could catch up to you… if she stayed in the Hengliu galaxy, she would be living in your shadow forever…"

In the entire world, the person who understood Luo Qinghan best was definitely her grandmother, Li Yu. Even her father, Luo Wuchen, did not understand Luo Qinghan half as well.

"Let's hope that silly girl, Luo Qinghan is doing well."

Luo Wuchen had on a bitter smile as well as he glanced casually at Meng Yuping, thanking her repeatedly. "Sect Leader Meng, I can't believe you spent time visiting us personally over the matters of my daughter, especially in your position as the esteemed Sect Leader. I appreciate it."

A Divine Transformation adept had actually traveled to the Tianxuan planet within the Luohe galaxy to the Luo family home simply for Luo Qinghan's sake! If this news were to spread, it would definitely be hot gossip among the entire Tianxuan planet and possibly even the Luohe galaxy!

One had to know that there were no Divine Transformation adepts within the Luohe galaxy.

"You're too kind, Sir Luo."

Meng Yuping smiled slightly and did not act condescendingly despite the fact that Luo Wuchen was merely a Dharma adept. Instead, she was friendly and personable. "If Luo Qinghan ever returns home, do help me pass on the message that we would like for her to return to the Jihan Sect… Before she left, I had already intended to take her on as a direct disciple. However, before I could make an announcement regarding this matter, she already left.

"If she returns home, do inform her that as long as she returns to the Jihan Sect, we will spare no resources in training her!"

Chapter 296: You care so much for her!

Zhou Donghuang felt indifferent and impassive at Meng Yuping's passionate disposition.

After traveling across the infinite universe for thousands of years in his past life, he had met too many scheming people with ulterior motives, and many were just like Meng Yuping.

Why exactly was Meng Yuping so persistent on keeping Luo Qinghan by her side?

Why was Meng Yuping so courteous and gracious towards Luo Wuchen and Li Yu?

As for the answers to these questions, Zhou Donghuang was aware of it all.

"In that case, I'll take my leave first, Sir Luo and Madam Li Yu."

Before leaving, Meng Yuping first bid farewell to Luo Wuchen and Li Yu. She then bid farewell to Zhou Donghuang and He Jin, who were standing at the side, before leaving for the nearest galaxy teleporter available.

As she intended to directly teleport herself back to where the Jihan Sect was located, she did not travel with Zhou Donghuang and He Jin.

"Sir Luo, Madam Li Yu, I will take my leave as well."

After Meng Yuping had left, Zhou Donghuang suitably bid farewell to the two Luo family members as well before leaving with He Jin under the watchful gaze of the former duo.

Seeing Zhou Donghuang's back slowly disappear, Luo Wuchen sighed. "I prefer it when he calls me 'father-in-law.'"

"Hmph! I wish you had taught Luo Qinghan better. He's such a good candidate for her to marry, and yet she is resisting him so much! In the future, if he is to marry some other lady, she will definitely regret it upon seeing such a sight!" Li Yu scoffed aloud and glared sternly at Luo Wuchen.

Luo Wuchen was rather speechless at this.

Luo Qinghan had actually grown up alongside her grandmother, who was Luo Wuchen's mother-in-law. As a result, she was more likely to have followed the teachings of Li Yu.

How could Li Yu blame Luo Qinghan's character on him now?

Of course, Luo Wuchen could only complain to himself in his heart as he did not dare to utter these words.

In any case, even without comparing status in the family, he was also no match for Li Yu in terms of ability.

Although he had already entered the ultimate Dharma stage, his mother-in-law, Li Yu, had already entered the Primordial Soul stage some time ago and had become the first Primordial Soul adept on the Tianxian planet in the last thousand years.

Of course, only Luo Wuchen was aware of this at the moment.

"Valley Head."

After leaving the Luo family home for the nearest galaxy teleporter and going on their way, Zhou Donghuang could not help but speak up. "Valley Head, tell me… How do you know when you like a woman, and how do you know you've fallen in love with a woman?"

To him, since He Jin had such a close daughter, He Mengxi, even though his wife had already passed away, he would definitely have good advice to share on this topic.

On the other hand, Zhou Donghuang had no experience at all and was extremely confused.

"You would like to know how to differentiate between liking and being in love with a woman?"

After hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, He Jin's eyes became tiny slits as he smiled. "Liking a woman and being in love with a woman are two completely different concepts… There are many different levels of liking a woman. You could purely like her innocently. You could also have the intention of making her yours or even have the desire to convert this like into love.

"As for love… this concept is rather hard to express in words.

"When two people are in love, it could be said that they are ready to live the rest of their lives together," He Jin said.

"In that case, how about you and third senior sister's mother?"

"Mengxi's mother…"

In an instant, He Jin's eyes widened, and a wistful look appeared in his eyes. "Her mother was rather average in terms of skills. In terms of how we met, it was a complete coincidence.

"When Mengxi was ten, that year, our family was hunted down by enemies, and we only had a slim chance of survival… At that point, we were a family of three, but with my abilities, I was only able to leave with Mengxi. Of course, I did not leave her behind willingly, but at a critical point, she chose to sacrifice herself!"

As he spoke to this point, He Jin's eyes flashed with unmistakable sadness and pain. "I can still visualize that scene clearly in my head to this day… If not for the fact that I wanted to take revenge on her behalf in the future, I would have chosen to die with her!"

"Valley Head…"

At this point, Zhou Donghuang suddenly remembered that in his past life, his third senior sister, He Mengxi, had also mentioned her biological mother to her. This included the fact that her biological mother had sacrificed herself to save her and her father.

It was just that Zhou Donghuang had forgotten about this as it had been a distant memory.

If not, he would not have brought up the topic of love to He Jin as he knew it would definitely pain him.

"It's fine."

Before Zhou Donghuang could offer an apology, He Jin had already cut him short. "Even if you do not bring up this matter, I think about it every now and then when I am dreaming as well… Although this happened more than 20 years ago, every time I think about it, it takes me back to when it happened.

"Do you think my relationship with Mengxi's mother was one of love?" He Jin glanced at Zhou Donghuang and asked.

"Of course."

Zhou Donghuang nodded his head. Although he was still clueless towards the topic of romantic relationships, the fact that He Jin's wife had actually chosen to sacrifice her own life and the fact that He Jin often felt pained when he thought about his wife were all definitely stellar examples of love.

"Zhou Donghuang, are you asking me these questions because of Luo Qinghan?" He Jin asked.

Zhou Donghuang froze. Had he been that obvious?

Nevertheless, he nodded his head. If this were any typical youth being asked such a question, he would definitely have been red-faced and longing to escape the topic. However, although Zhou Donghuang was only in his twenties, his memories stretched back to thousands of years ago, and so he was less embarrassed when discussing topics like this.

"As for the situation between you and Luo Qinghan, I am not familiar enough with it to say anything."

"However, I could ask you a few questions for me to familiarize myself with your relationship before giving you my opinion," He Jin said.

Zhou Donghuang's eyes flashed. "Go ahead."

"If… If you happen to come across Luo Qinghan carrying out acts of intimacy such as kissing with other men, would you be unhappy or even angered by that scene?" He Jin asked.

Just as he Jin had spoken, an image appeared in Zhou Donghuang's head of Luo Qinghan being intimate with other men. She was laughing happily as well. Momentarily, he felt extremely angry, and his facial expression changed as well.

This reaction was completely involuntary.

Once he had regained his composure, his facial expression then returned back to its original look.

At the same time, this reaction was observed by He Jin, who sighed to himself in his head.

"I guess Mengxi has no chance with Zhou Donghuang," he thought.

Although Zhou Donghuang viewed He Mengxi as a senior sister and He Mengxi had viewed Zhou Donghuang as a junior brother without any other feelings… As Mengxi's father, He Jin had always hoped to find a chance for them to venture into a romantic relationship.

He could tell that Zhou Donghuang was like a dragon; he was bound to reach for the skies one day, and if his daughter could be by his side, she would be successful in the future as well.

Of course, although this was ideal, he had never intended to force any romantic relations on them.

Even without discussing other factors, with Zhou Donghuang's personality alone, even though his daughter was just temporarily his senior and he would definitely achieve much in the future, he would definitely not mistreat his daughter.

Previously, before the Alliance Hunt had started, Zhou Donghuang had spoken up and mentioned that Luo Qinghan belonged to him. At that point, He Jin had already begun to give up on his plans to matchmake Zhou Donghuang and his daughter… Now, he was ready to completely give up this thought.

"Seeing your reaction to my words, I'm assuming you pictured such a scene in your head," He Jin said as he wanted to be sure.

Zhou Donghuang nodded his head.

He Jin nodded as well. "From your reaction and expression, I could tell that you like her to the point where you would like her to be exclusively yours and that you would not like other men to be involved with her.

"Either way… it means that you care for her.

"Now, let me ask you a second question.

"If she is in danger, the type of danger that is life-threatening… and your involvement means that you will die as well, would you choose to do nothing or reach out a helping hand to save her?" He Jin asked yet again.

Zhou Donghuang imagined such a scenario in his head yet again.

Rational thought told him that under such a situation, remaining a bystander and protecting oneself as well as choosing to take revenge later would be the right choice. However, once he thought about it harder, he knew that he would not mind risking his own life even if he would likely die as there was the chance that he could save Luo Qinghan.

Under such a situation, he could not bear to do nothing.

Even if he had thousands of years of experience telling him to decide rationally, he could not bear to ignore his feelings.

"I would take action."

When Zhou Donghuang replied He Jin again, his tone was slightly raspy.

He Jin nodded his head once again. "Your answer to this question is enough to show that you truly care for her to the point where you are willing to risk your own life if it means having the chance to save hers.

"Treasure her and your relationship well," He Jin replied with a warning tone before saying, "For the second question, if it stood alone, I think if it were not Luo Qinghan but He Mengxi, your answer would still be the same… However, when I put your answer for the second question alongside that of the first question, this represents a different reality.

"In any case, if you saw He Mengxi being intimate with other men, you would probably be indifferent about it.

"I don't know what exactly happened between you and Luo Qinghan. However, with the current situation, it is very obvious that you care about her. Even if you are not conscious of it, she definitely has a special place in your heart that cannot be replaced so easily.

"Treasure her well, and do not miss this opportunity."

As He Jin spoke, Zhou Donghuang had remained silent. However, he had already made a decision in his head. "Perhaps, I was really wrong before… Although she had distanced herself from me, what I should do is not to accommodate this but to find a way to break the ice and approach her again.

"I can only hope that she does not meet with any trouble after leaving the Jihan Sect."

…

After returning to the Autumn Valley of the Lightning Sword Sect where he resided, Zhou Donghuang had been preparing to return to training but was called out by He Jin once again.

"Zhou Donghuang, after we left, the seventh prince of the Qi Dynasty, Qi Feng, had arrived and was waiting for you… I just heard this piece of news from one of the elders, and the Sect Leader wanted this elder to inform me of this matter once we had returned. I'm to bring you to visit him," He Jin explained.

"Another representative of the Qi Dynasty?"

Zhou Donghuang frowned. "Previously, wasn't there someone, the 14th prince, who came over? Now that I have already consumed the Sky Sun fruit, I definitely will not join the Qi Dynasty. Why didn't the Sect Leader directly reject him on my behalf?"

He Jin smiled bitterly. "Zhou Donghuang, come along with me… The seventh prince of the Qi Dynasty who is here now has a completely different status in the royal lineage of the Qi Dynasty as compared to the 14th prince of the Qi Dynasty, even though they are biological brothers."

"If Emperor Qi were to choose… even if he had to give up 10 out of his 14 princes, he would definitely hold on to the seventh prince!"

Chapter 297: Give me 10 years!

Zhou Donghuang was not at all interested in meeting with the seventh prince of the Qi Dynasty.

However, so as not to put He Jin in a difficult position, he eventually followed He Jin to find the Lightning Sword Sect Leader, Yu Yucheng.

"Zhou Donghuang, this representative of the Qi Dynasty is different from the one who visited before. Although they are biological brothers, however, their status within the Qi Dynasty is different… That is why I felt awkward to reject his proposal to meet with you."

Yu Yucheng smiled bitterly. "Of course, regardless of whether he wants you to follow him to the Qi Dynasty or whether he is interested in your Sky Sun fruit, you can also reject him.

"You just have to meet with him, this…"

Before Yu Yucheng could complete with his sentence, Zhou Donghuang had already interrupted him. "Sect Leader, just bring me to see him. I would like to complete this as quickly as possible so that I could return to my training."

"Sure."

After hearing Zhou Donghuang's frustrated tone, Yu Yucheng felt annoyed as well. If this visitor had been that same 14th prince of the Qi Dynasty, he would definitely help Zhou Donghuang reject him. However, this time, the visitor was the seventh prince of the Qi Dynasty!

As for the seventh prince of the Qi Dynasty, his status in the Qi Dynasty was akin to that of the Dongfang elder of the Guangling Academy who had visited the sect previously.

…

"Seventh Prince, this man here is our disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect, Zhou Donghuang.

"Zhou Donghuang, this is the Seventh Prince of the Qi Dynasty, Prince Qi Feng."

Yu Yucheng brought Zhou Donghuang to meet the Seventh Prince of the Qi Dynasty and took the initiative to introduce them.

Zhou Donghuang glanced lightly at Qi Feng and observed that this seventh prince of the Qi Dynasty was a lot humbler than the Qi Dynasty's 14th prince, who was of lower status in the Qi Dynasty. When he looked at Qi Feng, he was smiling warmly and gave someone a feeling of being in spring, unlike the 14th prince, who had been domineering.

Behind Qi Feng, there was also another old man. This old man was extremely skinny. When he stood beside Qi Feng, who was really tall, he seemed to almost disappear in terms of size.

However, as the old man stood silently, he gave off an aura of mystery and authority.

Zhou Donghuang could almost confirm that this old man was definitely a Divine Transformation adept.

"This is the eighth elder of the Qi Dynasty, Elder Qi Yuankai."

Yu Yucheng then turned to introduce the old man standing behind Qi Feng. The old man also opened his eyes and glanced at Zhou Donghuang with a smoldering gaze. A normal Dharma adept would have been shocked by such an intense look, but Zhou Donghuang was unmovable and maintained his neutral expression.

"Elder Yuankai is also a Divine Transformation adept."

Yu Yucheng mentioned the old man's level of practice, and it was exactly as Zhou Donghuang had predicted.

"Mm."

Even so, when facing this Divine Transformation adept, Zhou Donghuang still had on an impassive look, as if it would be impossible to shake him up. This caused Elder Qi Yuankai's eyes to fill with a shocked look.

"Please speak directly as I would like to return back to my residence to train."

Zhou Donghuang casually looked at Qi Feng and spoke without any hesitation despite knowing that the person he was addressing was the highly esteemed seventh prince of the Qi Dynasty.

Zhou Donghuang had travelled across the infinite universe over the past thousands of years. Be it a prince of the Qi Dynasty of the Hengliu galaxy or even the princes of dynasties of the top cities in the universe, no one would be able to force him to grovel in front of them.

"Brother Donghuang is truly a training addict. No wonder you are able to be at where you are at this young age!"

If this were to be the 14th prince of the Qi Dynasty, Qi Rui, seeing Zhou Donghuang's attitude, he would definitely go crazy. However, for the seventh prince of the Qi Dynasty, Qi Feng, he maintained a friendly attitude and his smile was still bright.

"Brother Donghuang, I'm here on behalf of my father, King Qi, and we would like to personally invite you to visit the Qi Dynasty."

Qi Feng spoke directly without beating around the bush. "My father has said that as long as you are willing to follow us, you will receive the most preferential treatment an elite and talented disciple can have in the Qi Dynasty. King Qi is willing to give in to all your demands and will not be stingy simply because you do not have Qi blood.

"Furthermore… my father has personally mentioned that he is willing to adopt you as a step-son!"

Qi Feng's first few sentences were rather typical and Yu Yucheng was not surprised at all. However, the last part of Qi Feng's proposal scared him greatly.

That top member of society of the Qi Dynasty had actually personally claimed to want to accept Zhou Donghuang as his step-son?

Who was King Qi?

He was someone who stood at the peak of the Hengliu galaxy and who was one of the two strongest men in the entire Hengliu galaxy.

Such a figure was actually willing to adopt Zhou Donghuang as a step-son!?

If Zhou Donghuang had already grown up and was mature enough to take on responsibilities concerning the entire Hengliu galaxy, it would make a little more sense… The problem was, although Zhou Donghuang had indeed demonstrated much talent, he was still not fully grown.

After sighing coldly to himself, Yu Yucheng glanced at Zhou Donghuang meaningfully with a look of worry and uncertainty.

He knew that if he were to be in Zhou Donghuang's shoes, he would definitely be swayed by Qi Feng's words.

As one of the step-sons of the top figure of the Qi Dynasty, not only could Zhou Donghuang roam the Hengliu galaxy freely, the Qi Dynasty could thoroughly develop his skills, and he would enjoy the best training resources and training environment they could offer.

Now, he was truly worried that Zhou Donghuang would be snatched away.

However, in the next instant, as Zhou Donghuang spoke, Yu Yucheng felt completely relieved. At the same time, he was shocked as he realized that despite his age, he was still unable to fully understand a mere youth of 20 years old.

"I'm not interested."

Zhou Donghuang rejected Qi Feng without an ounce of hesitation.

"Brother Donghuang, will you not even consider the offer?"

Qi Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his face dimmed a little as well. Of course, if one was not observant, they would not notice this slight change.

"If you become my father's step-son, your position in the Qi Dynasty will be similar to my royal status as a prince. The resources we can offer you for training purposes far outweigh those of the Lightning Sword Sect as well."

Qi Feng continued his attempts to persuade Zhou Donghuang.

"Be on the same level as you?"

Zhou Donghuang smiled, and his eyes sparkled. "Does that mean that I would also have a shot at becoming the next king of the Qi Dynasty and be able to control the whole Qi Dynasty?"

"Zhou Donghuang!"

Yu Yucheng's facial expression changed greatly. He had not expected that Zhou Donghuang would utter such a phrase, and such a ludicrous and taboo phrase at that!

The smile on Qi Feng's face froze with shock now.

"What audacity!"

The old man behind Qi Feng, Qi Yuankai, now barked out an indignant reply, and his inner core shook the area surrounding him, as if he could and would strike a blow against Zhou Donghuang right there and then.

Seeing this, Yu Yucheng immediately shielded Zhou Donghuang and stared steely at the old man, prepared to exchange blows with him.

Qi Feng raised a hand to stop the old man. At the same time, he looked deeply at Zhou Donghuang. "Brother Donghuang, I'm afraid that will not be possible…. The Qi Dynasty has strict rules that only those of royal blood can ascend the throne. All kings of the past were of Qi blood.

"In this case, despite your talents, you cannot become the next king of the Qi Dynasty.

"Previously, Kaishan of the Guangling Academy had also been frighteningly talented, and I could daresay that he was more talented than the entire batch of ancestors of the Qi Dynasty… Even so, due to the constraints of lineage, he was unable to become the next King Qi and that was why he left the Qi Dynasty to create his own Guangling Academy."

As Qi Feng mentioned this story, he had a faraway gaze in his eyes which was both stony and cold.

"Hm?"

Zhou Donghuang's previously neutral expression was now finally changing as he was curious at the fact that the Guangling Academy's founder had originated from the Qi Dynasty.

The Guangling Academy of today could be said to be the only organization that could compete with the Qi Dynasty in the entire Hengliu galaxy.

In the Hengliu galaxy, there were three top organizations: the Qi Dynasty, the Guangling Academy and the Alliance.

As for the various sects of the Alliance, they were considered the top elite sects of the Alliance, but alone, they were still unable to fight against the two Transcendental Forces of the Qi Dynasty and the Guangling Academy

"You actually believed what I said?"

Zhou Donghuang smiled lightly. "Even if all the people of the Qi Dynasty begged me to go over to be the next king, I would not be interested as well… What is the point of standing at the peak of the Hengliu galaxy? The Hengliu galaxy is but one of the average galaxies in the entire infinite universe.

"Even if I were to be the next king of the Qi Dynasty, although I would have more power, if you give me ten more years, I am sure I can become more powerful than your king!"

When Zhou Donghuang spoke, he appeared to spare no thought for the prestigious status of King Qi at all.

"How dare you!"

The elder behind Qi Feng, Qi Yuankai, was angered till he raged once again. In the end, he only cooled down slightly after Qi Feng shook his head subtly.

"Brother Donghuang is indeed ambitious, and I admire that… However, having ambitions does not mean you will succeed. I'll be watching in anticipation."

At this point, Qi Feng's smile had diminished greatly to a cordial one and he finished his conversation bluntly with Zhou Donghuang before saying some courteous farewells to Yu Yucheng. Afterwards, Qi Feng brought the elder with him and left quickly.

As for Yu Yucheng, after he had recovered from his shock at Zhou Donghuang's words, he began to consider them in his head.

Zhou Donghuang intended to exceed King Qi in a mere timespan of ten years?

This was surely too arrogant and ambitious of him!

That was all Yu Yucheng could think of.

Although it was true that Zhou Donghuang was talented and could be one of the strongest of the entire Hengliu galaxy, where his talents were slightly wasted… Nevertheless, to be able to be stronger than King Qi after only ten years was almost impossible!

King Qi was still one of the two strongest men in the entire Hengliu galaxy, and he was at least at the late Divine Transformation stage. At this point, he was at the end of the stage where he was close to the ultimate Divine Transformation stage.

There were even rumors that the king of the Qi Dynasty or the head of the Guangling Academy could possibly already be ultimate Divine Transformation adepts. It was just that neither had shown their true powers, and everyone thus assumed they were still at the late Divine Transformation stage at this point.

Of course, these were just rumors and it was uncertain as to whether they were true or not.

"Sect Leader, I'll take my leave."

As Zhou Donghuang bade farewell to Yu Yucheng and returned to the Autumn Valley, the two representatives of the Qi Dynasty had also left the grounds of the Lightning Sword Sect and were nearing the most convenient galaxy teleporter.

"Seventh Prince, that boy is really too arrogant. He is a mere youngster and yet he claims to want to overtake King Qi within the next ten years. This means that he does not respect King Qi's status and position at all!" Qi Yuankai fumed aloud. "You should not have stopped me from attacking him!"

"Attacking him?"

Qi Feng turned to give a stern look to Qi Yuankai. "Eighth elder, do you actually have confidence in defeating that Yu Yucheng?"

Hearing this, Qi Yuankai first froze before shaking his head, speechless.

Chapter 298: White-haired youth

Although Qi Yuankai was an early Divine Transformation adept, among the early Divine Transformation adepts, he was only around average at best.

As for Yu Yucheng, as the Lightning Sword Sect Leader, although he was also an early Divine Transformation adept, he was still a leader of one of the top sects within the Hengliu galaxy and definitely had some extra skills that were inherited from the Lightning Sword Sect.

If Qi Yuankai were to fight Yu Yucheng, he would not be confident in winning the duel at all.

Instead, Qi Yuankai also agreed that there was a higher chance that he would lose to Yu Yucheng.

"Well, Eighth Elder, since you do not have the confidence to defeat Yu Yucheng, there was no point in you taking action against Zhou Donghuang if Yu Yucheng were to protect him," Qi Feng said.

"Well, there's also you, Seventh Prince!" Qi Yuankai replied.

"Me?"

Qi Feng shook his head. "Eighth Elder, did you notice that as we were leaving out the doors of the sect, there was someone standing a short distance away from the door. Did you notice that?"

"Yes."

Qi Yuankai nodded his head. "It was a middle-aged man who looked rather average."

"Average?"

Qi Feng smiled. "Eighth Elder, if I'm not wrong… That person was the Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, of the Lightning Sword Sect. He is one of the strongest Primordial Soul adepts of the Lightning Sword Sect. Zhou Donghuang is one of the disciples of his Autumn Valley."

Qi Yuankai frowned.

"Even without discussing any other matters, with the number of achievements Zhou Donghuang has at his young age, it already trumps that of everyone else in the Hengliu galaxy and this includes our ancestors… If we were to simply discuss the Primordial Soul adepts and below in the Hengliu galaxy, we could even say that Zhou Donghuang is the strongest in terms of martial arts in the entire history of the Hengliu galaxy."

Qi Feng appeared indifferent. "It is very normal that the Lightning Sword Sect reveres this talented man."

"Well, not only did he reject you, Seventh Prince, he also dared to belittle our king… Are we to just let it go then?"

Qi Yuankai frowned and his eyes glinted with unwillingness and annoyance.

"At the moment where he rejected me, he was already digging his own grave."

Qi Feng's tone was light and breezy as if he were simply discussing a casual matter. "Eighth Elder, this time, after we return, it will not be long before Zhou Donghuang will cease to exist within the Hengliu galaxy and the entire infinite universe."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuankai's eyes instinctively lit up. "Do you need me to step up?"

Of course, he had understood the meaning behind Qi Feng's casual words.

"Why would we need you to waste your energy?" Qi Feng replied lightly. "Although he may be a genius, he is still a Dharma adept… It is not worth it for a Divine Transformation adept of the Qi Dynasty to step forward to kill him personally!"

From the start to the end of their conversation with Zhou Donghuang, Qi Feng had had on a pleasant and amicable front.

As for him now, every time he spoke, it seemed as though he was already envisioning Zhou Donghuang's death.

"That is true, Seventh Prince," Qi Yuankai smiled and said. "Indeed, this matter does not require me to take action."

…

To Zhou Donghuang, the visit by the seventh prince of the Qi Dynasty, Qi Feng, was merely a slight disruption, and it was not of much consequence.

After returning to his quarters at the Autumn Valley, he continued to train and digest the power of the Sky Sun elixir.

At the moment, he had already consumed three Sky Sun elixirs, and they had all respectively helped three of his late Dharma Powers of the Green Dragon Dharma Power, White Tiger Dharma Power and Vermilion Bird Dharma Power. As his three biggest Dharma Powers were being aided, the power of the three Sky Sun elixirs was also partially aiding his Black Turtle Dharma Power, which was not yet at the late Dharma stage. Because of this, two days ago, his Black Turtle Dharma Power had also crossed over to the late Dharma stage.

"It feels as if they are sharing the medicinal value of the Sky Sun elixir."

After training for a few more days, Zhou Donghuang realized this point, and so he did not hesitate and took out the last remaining Sky Sun elixir for consumption. This now allowed for his four Dharma Powers to train at the same time.

In the process, he could also clearly sense that his four Dharma Powers had already reached a certain limit of power due to the absorption of the Sky Sun elixir's medicinal properties. After fully digesting the power of the four Sky Sun elixirs, drinking more would not provide greater help to the four Dharma Powers.

"Indeed, one Dharma Power can only be helped by one Sky Sun elixir."

Originally, Zhou Donghuang had assumed that as the medicinal value of the Sky Sun elixir could be shared among the four Dharma Powers, it may be possible for him to drink all the Sky Sun elixirs he could get his hands on. That would allow his Dharma Powers to absorb their medicinal value as well, allowing himself to improve his training greatly.

Well, in the end, such a theory was proven to be false.

Even though the four Dharma Powers were indeed able to share the power of each Sky Sun elixir, after it was split among each Dharma Power, in the end, each Dharma Power was only able to be influenced by the cumulative power of one single Sky Sun elixir, nothing more.

"Forget it… Even so, this is still enough for my four Dharma Powers to cross over to the ultimate Dharma stage in a short period of time!

With the four Dharma Powers crossing over to the ultimate Dharma stage, as well as the Divine Will being cultivated due to him being a Primordial Soul adept, Zhou Donghuang was confident that for those who were below the Primordial Soul stage, he would be able to kill them and it would take no effort at all as well.

As one Dharma Power was attacking, the other three would simultaneously be absorbing Spirit energy from the skies and the land to rejuvenate themselves. This would be akin to the rebirth of these Dharma Powers, and they would possibly never run out of energy.

Unless, the area that he was in particularly lacked Spirit energy.

As he thought about the fact that his four Dharma Powers would soon fully cross over to the ultimate Dharma stage, even though he had thousands of years of other good thoughts and memories, such an image in his head still made him feel excited and grateful.

Previously, in his past life, when he had entered the ultimate Dharma stage, the big sects and the geniuses of the bigger families of the same stage would have been able to crush him, and he had felt the huge disparity between his training methods and theirs.

However, in this life, the tides had turned and he, Zhou Donghuang, trained using the Lord of Four Supremes. If he dueled with someone of the same training stage as him, he would easily triumph in terms of training style.

As Zhou Donghuang was hard at work in training, both Da Zhuang and He Mengxi were not slacking off either. Once they had consumed the elixir, they both went into isolated training as well.

Within the Autumn Valley, there was peace and quiet.

Within the Lightning Sword Sect, it was absolutely quiet and peaceful as well.

…

Three months later.

A man who was dressed in green robes with pure white hair but youthful features appeared near the galaxy teleporter that was closest to the Lightning Sword Sect.

Afterwards, he glanced in the direction of the Lightning Sword Sect. Within an instant, he had already entered the grounds of the Lightning Sword Sect and from the start to end of this movement, the elders and disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect who were on patrol never noticed him at all.

"This is the Autumn Valley?"

After a while, this white-haired young man with white eyebrows met with a disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect near the Autumn Valley.

"Yes… Yes, Senior."

This disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect that met with the youth was an external disciple. Towards this white-haired youth, who had managed to freeze his entire being's essential core within an instant, he was filled with horror and fear. As long as this youth raised his finger slightly, he could even be crushed to death!

"Do you know where the Autumn Valley disciple, Zhou Donghuang, lives?"

The white-haired young man spoke with a light tone that did not betray any emotion.

"Senior, I'm unaware of this… Perhaps you should ask a disciple of the Autumn Valley instead."

The external disciple's face was fraught with worry. He was truly afraid that his ignorance towards the question posed by the youth would cause his own painful death. This was because he had heard before that many strongmen were merciless and killed others easily.

"Mm."

The young man replied calmly and released the external disciple. At the same time, the external disciple's essential core was no longer bounded by him. "You can go."

Once he had spoken, the young man produced one spirit stone vein and threw it to the external disciple, who caught it in his palm. Once he had observed this spirit stone vein, his nostrils flared as his face lit up with surprise and excitement. "Is this… an… ultimate-quality spirit stone!?"

One had to know that one ultimate spirit stone was worth ten high-quality spirit stones!

"He was so generous… If I find an elder and rat on him, would that make me an ingrate?"

This external disciple was now in a dilemma.

However, he still decided to report this matter to the elder of the sect in the end. He reported that an outsider had entered the Lightning Sword Sect, allegedly to find Zhou Donghuang. After all, this trespasser could have other ill intentions as well.

If the young man were to carry out any bad schemes, with his tip off, which managed to save the Lightning Sword Sect from much trouble, it was likely that he would be approved to enter the inner sect or even receive rewards that were worth far more than one ultimate spirit stone!

After the external disciple had regained his composure and realized that the white-haired young man was nowhere to be seen, he immediately rushed back to the outer sect to report this matter to an elder of the outer sect.

"What!? Someone has trespassed into our grounds? Furthermore, he was here to find Zhou Donghuang!?"

This elder of the outer sect naturally also recognized the severity of the situation. Without further hesitation, he headed for the residence of the Lightning Sword Sect Leader to report this matter.

A man who was able to trespass without being discovered was definitely no ordinary being. This was because out of the elders who patrolled around the sect on a daily basis, there were at least three late Primordial Soul adepts who were looking out keenly for intruders.

Furthermore, the Lightning Sword Sect had the great idea of planting several formations around its grounds and even adepts of the ultimate Primordial Soul stage would possibly be caught while trying to trespass into the Lightning Sword Sect.

At the same time, in the Autumn Valley:

"Zhou Donghuang."

Before Zhou Donghuang was rudely awakened by sounds outside his door, he had been training the four Dharma Powers of his that had just crossed over into the ultimate Dharma stage. He was sure that the voice that had come from outside was one that he had heard before.

Nevertheless, once he had heard the call, he immediately jumped up from the bed and opened the door, walking out.

Once he had reached the yard, he saw that a young man was already standing before him. This young man had white hair that was flying with the breeze and a pair of white eyebrows. He had on a cold and icy composure and looked to be about the same age as Zhou Donghuang.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Donghuang's facial expression became guarded as he saw the cold look in the young man's eyes. At the same time, his expression became cold and cautious as well.

Although this young man before him looked like an ordinary person, Zhou Donghuang activated his Divine Will and made use of it. Without startling the man before him, he was only able to access the area that was about three meters around the man.

He was completely shut out otherwise.

What did this mean?

Only those whose who had Divine Will that was able to surpass past merely reading someone could achieve this.

Now, Zhou Donghuang could definitely confirm that the young man before him was definitely at least an early Primordial Soul adept, judging by the power of his soul!

Chapter 299: Liu Pingsheng

"Guangling Academy, Liu Pingsheng."

The white-haired youth stared at Zhou Donghuang with a rather fiery look. Afterwards, without any prior provocation by Zhou Donghuang, a strong wave of essential core was sent out directly towards Zhou Donghuang.

Zhou Donghuang had not thought that the other party would attack him without any provocation, and his face darkened instantly.

However, once he realized the power that the other party was controlling, a look of inspiration flashed suitably in his eyes, and he immediately utilized his White Tiger Dharma Power. The ten-meter-tall White Tiger Dharma Power was thus shown for the first time.

This was the first time Zhou Donghuang had fought since his White Tiger Dharma Power had crossed over to the ultimate Dharma stage.

"Roar…!"

The White Tiger Dharma Power growled and, with one outstretched paw, it directly toppled the white-haired youth's essential core as if he was bringing the weight of the world. The entire process was as if destruction had been rained down.

"You actually managed to cross over?"

Liu Pingsheng's tone was full of surprise and shock, and his gaze became even more fiery and intense. At the same time, he delivered yet another strike, and a wave of thicker essential core shot out directly towards the White Tiger Dharma Power.

Afterwards, the essential core suddenly became a taut string mid-air as it was locked tight by the White Tiger Dharma Power.

Once the essential core was bounded into a string, it quickly turned itself around the White Tiger Dharma Power in a perfect noose, as if it were about to choke the White Tiger Dharma Power to death.

At this moment, with Zhou Donghuang's Divine Will, the White Tiger Dharma Power morphed into a beam of light like a shooting star in the night sky, and within an instant, it managed to successfully escape the noose that was Liu Pingsheng's essential core.

"It really is Dharma Power Control!"

A surprised voice rang out belonging to Liu Pingsheng. At the same time, he also released the essential core that he had summoned, and the string that was Liu Pingsheng's essential core disappeared without a trace as if it had never existed.

Seeing as the other party had taken a step back, Zhou Donghuang used his Divine Will to retract his White Tiger Dharma Power as well.

At the same time, he furrowed his brows and looked somewhat annoyedly at the other party. "If you are here to invite me to join the Guangling Academy, I'm afraid you've made a wasted trip.

"As for the Sky Sun fruits, I have already consumed them all. If not, I would not have entered the ultimate Dharma stage so easily within such a short period of time."

With the way the other party had attacked just now, although essential core had been suppressed, with Zhou Donghuang's experience, it was not difficult for him to tell that this Liu Pingsheng was a late Divine Transformation adept!

If not, he would not even bother to explain his circumstance to him.

With the training stage of the person before him alone, if he really wanted to kill Zhou Donghuang, even the strongest mid Divine Transformation adept of the Lightning Sword Sect, an elder, would not be able to save him.

After hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, Liu Pingsheng's facial expression did not change. "I am not here to ask you to join the Guangling Academy. I am also not here to ask you for the Sky Sun fruit."

"Hm?"

Liu Pingsheng's words came as a surprise to Zhou Donghuang. If he was not here to invite him to the Guangling Academy and was also not here for the Sky Sun fruit, what was this Divine Transformation adept of the Guangling Academy here for?

"Donghuang!"

Just as Zhou Donghuang was frozen with confusion, an urgent sound that seemed somewhat distant could be heard as a figure materialized from afar. Within an instant, this figure had already arrived at Zhou Donghuang's living quarters. Upon realizing that Zhou Donghuang was fine, he sighed a breath of relief.

This was no ordinary person. Instead, he was the Autumn Valley Head, He Jin.

"He Jin?"

Seeing as He Jin had appeared before Zhou Donghuang and was taking on a stance of protection, Liu Pingsheng spoke with a rather surprised tone. "Young man, you actually managed to enter the Divine Transformation stage so quickly?"

Young man.

Upon hearing Liu Pingsheng's words, Zhou Donghuang could confirm that Liu Pingsheng's status was higher than He Jin's.

Of course, he was not surprised as he had guessed this long ago.

After all, this fellow, Liu Pingsheng, was a late Divine Transformation adept after all. He was also a member of the Guangling Academy and was definitely not young either.

"You are?"

Seeing as the other party had recognized him and even called him "young man," He Jin first froze before giving the former a searching look. Although he felt as if he had met this man before in the past, he could not remember exactly when or where.

Liu Pingsheng replied casually, "When you were young, you visited the Guangling Academy to find core drugs with your senior and we met once."

Once Liu Pingsheng had spoken, He Jin's childhood memories instantly surfaced very clearly in his mind, and he suddenly recalled why this man was so familiar. "You… you are… Senior Liu Pingsheng!?"

Seeing this, He Jin immediately recalled why he had found this man before him to be so familiar.

The truth was that when he was young, he had met him before.

At that time, this man had looked how he looked now.

It was unexpected that although He JIn had changed much since young, this other party had had no physical changes at all, and he still looked as young and youthful.

"I'm surprised that you remember me."

Liu Pingsheng smiled lightly. "I heard that you are now the Autumn Valley Head? You have come a long way since the last time I met you when you were still young…! Zhou Donghuang is a disciple of your Autumn Valley?"

Once he had spoken, Liu Pingsheng's gaze returned back to Zhou Donghuang, and the intensity in his gaze returned.

"Yes, Senior."

After recognizing the identity of Liu Pingsheng, He Jin's attitude and demeanor became much more courteous. At the same time, he opened his mouth to do an introduction for Zhou Donghuang. "Donghuang, this is the Honorary Dean of the Guangling Academy, Honorary Dean Liu Pingsheng."

Once he had spoken, he added on for elaboration, "Honorary Dean Liu Pingsheng has an admirably high status that is untraversed among the Guangliang Academy, and he is ingenious and clever… Even the Dean of the Guangling Academy is extremely courteous to him and views him not just as a mentor but also as a fatherly figure."

With a few sentences, He Jin managed to explain Liu Pingsheng's background to Zhou Donghuang.

At the same time, Zhou Donghuang's heart jolted slightly. He had not expected the other party's status to be so high. One could even say that Liu Pingsheng was at the peak of the Hengliu galaxy.

Furthemore, the Dean of the Guangling Academy even saw him as a mentor and as a fatherly figure?

According to what he knew, the Dean of the Guangling Academy was already considered high ranking among the leaders of the Hengliu galaxy…

This seemingly young, white-haired "youth" was viewed as a mentor and a fatherly figure by the Dean of the Guangling Academy. Didn't this mean he was ranked even higher?

"Zhou Donghuang!"

At the same time, another urgent voice could be heard from the skies of the Autumn Valley, and two figures quickly flew into the Autumn Valley to Zhou Donghuang's residence.

One was the Lightning Sword Sect Leader, Yu Yucheng.

The other person was an old man with white hair and white eyebrows. Although he looked to be elderly, he had eyes that shone brightly and spirit that only someone young could have.

At this moment, Yu Yucheng was following behind the old man.

"Junior Uncle."

Seeing the old man, He Jin immediately greeted him courteously as he acknowledged the Lightning Sword Sect Leader, Yu Yucheng, at the same time.

Zhou Donghuang's gaze also landed on this old man, and he could vaguely guess this old man's identity… This old man was most likely the mid Divine Transformation adept of the Lightning Sword Sect, who was their strongest member.

"Who are you? Why have you trespassed into my Lightning Sword Sect?"

As Liu Pingsheng's back was facing the two figures who had arrived, be it Yu Yucheng or the old man in front of him, both could not see his full features, and they were both glaring at him in a hostile manner.

He Jin reacted to Yu Yucheng's words by shooting him a warning glance. Before Yu Yucheng could react to this, Liu Pingsheng opened his mouth and spoke with a neutral tone. "Before, when Yu Cang was still around, he did not even dare to question my motives… Yu Cang has a good successor indeed!"

Yu Cang.

Yu Cang was the previous Lightning Sword Sect Leader, and he had been Yu Yucheng's senior.

Yu Yucheng was actually an orphan that Yu Cang had brought back from his travels. Afterwards, Yu Cang had sworn in Yu Yucheng as a disciple of the sect, and he became Yu Cang's direct disciple.

Many years ago, Yu Cang had left the Hengliu galaxy to work towards reaching the Separating Divinity stage.

Now, hearing someone call out the name of his beloved senior as well as making the personal comment that his senior had previously not dared to question him, Yu Yucheng's facial expression became grave. When he spoke again, it was with a much more cautious tone. "Who… who are you?"

Following this, under the watchful gaze of Yu Yucheng and the old man before him, Liu Pingsheng slowly turned around.

Upon seeing Liu Pingsheng's features, both Yu Yucheng and the old man before him's eyes widened dramatically, and they froze on the spot as if they had been electrocuted.

An instant later, the old man first regained his composure, and he bowed to greet Liu Pingsheng courteously. "I am Lan Gui, senior."

After the old man had spoken, this jolted Yu Yucheng to his senses, and he bowed in greeting to Liu Pingsheng as well. "I am Yu Yucheng, Senior Liu Pingsheng!"

Who was Liu Pingsheng?

As the Honorary Dean of the Guangling Academy and as a late Divine Transformation adept, he was effectively the most senior in rank among the elites of the Hengliu galaxy.

Even the Dean of the Guangliang Academy would call him "teacher" when he met Liu Pingsheng.

Yu Yucheng had never expected that the trespasser who had entered the Lightning Sword Sect would be this man standing before him. At the same time, he was nervous from his blunder from before he had recognized this man. He hoped that Liu Pingsheng would not be petty about it and forgive his rudeness. If not, even if the other party chose to slap him to death, even the Alliance would not be able to save him from it as well.

The Alliance could in fact go against the two Transcendental Forces of the Hengliu galaxy.

However, that did not really apply when it came to this senior.

This matter was enough to cause chaos within the entire Guangling Academy, and the Alliance could only be bystanders.

And that was only considering the Guangling Academy alone.

It was rumored that the current Emperor Qi of the Qi Dynasty admired Liu Pingsheng as well.

Other than the fact that the Hengliu galaxy did not have any ultimate Divine Transformation adept yet, even any who surfaced would not have the same influence, power and status within the Hengliu galaxy as this man even if he was only a late Divine Transformation adept.

Furthermore, it was rumored that this late Divine Transformation adept had previously killed an ultimate Divine Transformation adept who had traveled to the Hengliu galaxy from a different galaxy to find trouble with the Qi Dynasty and get revenge. It meant that his powers were not weaker than that of an ultimate Divine Transformation adept… Furthermore, the admiration that the two leaders of the two Transcendental Forces had for Liu Pingsheng meant that his influence and control were the highest among the entire Hengliu galaxy!

"Why is this senior here at our Lightning Sword Sect?

"Furthermore, he came here for Zhou Donghuang.

"Why exactly is he here?"

At this moment, Yu Yucheng had too many questions due to his state of confusion.

Chapter 300: Divine Dharma

The name "Liu Pingsheng" signified "transcendental" in the Hengliu galaxy.

Even more transcendental than the two Transcendental Forces.

In the Hengliu galaxy, this name was not only a synonym for the word "transcendental," but it was also a synonym for "unparalleled."

However, this person spent most of his days hidden within the Guangling Academy and hardly stepped outside. In the last few centuries, he had not been known to step out of the Guangling Academy at all… and when he had appeared in the Hengliu galaxy a thousand years ago, he had already been a late Divine Transformation adept.

Now, nobody but him and God knew how powerful he really was.

Of course, Zhou Donghuang knew nothing about this.

Otherwise, he would definitely have thought that he had made a judgment error. When he had tried to sense Liu Pingsheng's inner Yuan earlier, based on his experience from his previous life, he had guessed that Liu Pingsheng was at the late Divine Transformation stage.

A late Divine Transformation adept a thousand years ago, and still a late Divine Transformation adept a thousand years later?

Unless there was some special reason behind this, it could not be possible!

Dharma adepts had a lifespan of six hundred years, and when they reached the Primordial Soul stage, their lives would be extended by another four hundred years. This was why Primordial Soul adepts were also known as "millennium adepts."

When Primordial Soul adepts reached the Divine Transformation stage, their lives would be extended by another five hundred years. Divine Transformation adepts had a maximum lifespan of a thousand five hundred years.

As for the Separating Divinity stage above the Divine Transformation stage, the lifespan could be extended by another five hundred years to a total of two thousand years.

Once the person reached the Immortal stage, the lifespan would be extended by another thousand years to a total of three thousand years!

As for the Deity stage, those who reached this stage would either die or overcome it to reach the spirit world and become a God.

For a Divine Transformation adept, to still be alive when he was a late Divine Transformation adept a thousand years ago, this meant that he had reached the late Divine Transformation stage before the age of five hundred years.

Such a person was still a late Divine Transformation adept a thousand years later?

Even in the Hengliu galaxy, this possibility was minute.

"Senior, may I ask… why have you come to our Lightning Sword Sect?"

Lan Gui, the most senior person in the Lightning Sword Sect and the most powerful man in the sect currently, looked at Liu Pingsheng fearfully as he asked in a respectful tone.

At that point, both Yu Yucheng and He Jin were looking at Liu Pingsheng uneasily.

They felt as if they could not breathe properly.

This was simply because the man in front of them was simply so special. His position was so unique, and his power was so immensely unfathomable that with just a word from him, he could easily destroy the entire Lightning Sword Sect and wipe it off the face of the Hengliu galaxy!

"No need to be anxious," Liu Pingsheng glanced at Lan Gui and replied slowly.

"I am here today to look for Zhou Donghuang for something, nothing to do with your Lightning Sword Sect.

"Now, I have something to speak to Zhou Donghuang about, please give us some time."

Once Liu Pingsheng had spoken, Lan Gui hastily agreed and left quickly. He looked knowingly at Yu Yucheng and He Jin, his gaze filled with caution.

"Yes, Senior." Yu Yucheng also left.

"Donghuang."

As He Jin was leaving left, he turned to look at Zhou Donghuang and said, "This Senior Liu Pingsheng is the current leader of the Guangling Academy and a senior even to the current Emperor Qi of the Qi Dynasty. You must not treat him with disrespect."

He Jin's words not only reinforced the position of Liu Pingsheng in the Guangling Academy, but they even reminded Zhou Donghuang of his position in relation to Emperor Qi, the most powerful man of the Qi Dynasty.

He had reminded Zhou Donghuang about this because he knew that Zhou Donghuang was always relaxed and loose with his manners, and he was afraid that Zhou Donghuang would anger the man.

Zhou Donghuang only nodded slightly at He Jin's reminder. Still, he was quietly surprised… this white-haired young man in front of him was not only powerful in the Guangling Academy, but also influential in the Qi Dynasty as well?

In that case, wouldn't this man be able to do anything he wished in the Hengliu galaxy?

"You have something to tell me?"

If He Jin found out that after he, Yu Yucheng and Lan Gui left, Zhou Donghuang would speak first and question Liu Pingsheng in such a tone, he would have been scared witless.

Even when his senior mentor was around, He Jin would have to greet Liu Pingsheng as "Senior."

However, faced with the disrespect of Zhou Donghuang, Liu Pingsheng didn't appear unhappy at all. Instead, he smiled at Zhou Donghuang and asked directly, "Do you believe that for Dharma adepts… Dharma Power Control may not be the final frontier of perfecting Dharma Power?"

Zhou Donghuang was taken aback, as he had never thought that Liu Pingsheng would say something like that.

As far as he knew, in the history of the Hengliu galaxy, there had never been a Dharma adept who had perfected their Dharma Power to the extent of Dharma Power Control, and he was the first and only person who had done so.

And now, the Divine Transformation adept from the Guangling Academy in front of him was now asking him such a question?

He looked at the man and thought, when this man was a Dharma adept, did he even master the technique of Dharma Power Control? Why was he now asking if he believed that Dharma Power Control was the final limit to perfecting Dharma Power?

This was as if an adult had asked him: "Do you believe that a three-year-old child can lift up to a ton of weight?"

"I have never heard of a Dharma adept who managed to perfect his Dharma Power beyond the limit of Dharma Power Control."

This was Zhou Donghuang's response to Liu Pingsheng.

Towards Zhou Donghuang's answer, Liu Pingsheng was not surprised. "That is because… in the history of the galaxy, there has never been a Dharma adept who could make this first crucial step.

"The Dharma adepts in the Hengliu galaxy always failed to even master the technique of Dharma Power Control because of natural talent limits or training resource limits… as for the other galaxies rich in resources, although there were Dharma adepts who mastered the technique of Dharma Power Control, they often did not have much time left to understand the deeper meanings and secrets of Dharma Power."

"Of course, in the universe, there were surely many Dharma adepts who tried to perfect Dharma Power beyond the Dharma Power Control limit… However, whenever they spent too long without any progress, they either began to doubt themselves and rushed to enter the Divine Transformation stage, or their elders did not allow them to continue going down this road, and they forced them to reach the Divine Transformation stage."

As Liu Pingsheng spoke, he glanced at Zhou Donghuang and said, "Towards the determination of these Dharma adepts in perfecting their Dharma Power beyond the limit of Dharma Power Control, what are your thoughts?"

"I disagree with it," Zhou Donghuang shook his head and said.

"Since the universe has never had a Dharma adept achieve it in history, it is still unknown if the first step beyond Dharma Power Control is possible.

"If there is an end-goal in mind, there might be something to work towards.

"If there is no goal, it is difficult to proceed further. Not only is it difficult to progress, but it is also a huge test for one's mental state."

Zhou Donghuang had thousands of years of memory from his previous life. Still, he had never heard of anyone being able to perfect Dharma Power beyond the stage of Dharma Power Control. Dharma Power Control was recognized by the countless races of the universe to be the final limit of perfecting Dharma Power.

"You are wise, indeed," Liu Pingsheng's eyes flashed as he sighed heavily and said.

"And the truth showed that this was indeed the case.

"Let me ask you another question… as a Dharma adept, if you knew that the limit of Dharma Power was not Dharma Power Control, but a technique even more powerful than that, what would you do?"

Before Zhou Donghuang could respond, Liu Pingsheng added," And if you knew that by achieving a technique superior to Dharma Power Control, that will become such a good base for you that no matter how poor the technique you are training in or how poor your foundation is, you will have a hundred percent chance of reaching the Deity stage… what would you do?"

Initially, Zhou Donghuang had wanted to say that he would try his best so that his progress in increasing his skill would not be affected by this technique beyond Dharma Power Control.

However, after hearing what Liu Pingsheng added, he was stunned.

At the Dharma stage, by mastering the technique that was said to be superior to Dharma Power Control, no matter how poor the training technique or foundation in the future, there would be a hundred percent chance of reaching the Deity stage?

Was this possible?

If that were really possible, then that would be an incredible foundation for the future.

But was it possible?

This was too unbelievable.

"What are you trying to say?"

Zhou Donghuang looked at Liu Pingsheng, his expression serious. He could tell that Liu Pingsheng definitely had something to say.

Liu Pingsheng sighed and said, "A thousand years ago, when I was still a Dharma adept, I chanced upon the dying place of an ancient person… there, I did not gain any treasures, and his space ring had been taken a long time ago. All that was left was a small book that was his diary.

"After every year ended, he would write a diary entry in the book. In it, he recorded everything that he had experienced in his life.

"It was then that I found out… in fact, in ancient times, there were many talented adepts who managed to perfect their Dharma Power to the stage of Divine Dharma.

"Divine Dharma is exactly the technique that Dharma adepts can master that is superior to Dharma Power Control."

As Liu Pingsheng spoke, his gaze was complicated. "The place was destroyed because I had invoked a protective formation when I left… but I brought that small notebook out together with me.

"That small notebook… nobody believes that it is real. Only I, who went to that place, can confirm from the corpse that the person lived in an ancient time, a long time ago.

"But, nobody believes my words, and they say that the small notebook may have been an act of mischief.

"Although they do not believe it, since I experienced it myself, I have to believe… furthermore, at that point, I had already mastered Dharma Power Control as an ultimate Dharma adept.

"You could imagine… after experiencing all of that, I was so drawn to the technique of Divine Dharma.

"Among all the sects at that point, I was the youngest in the new generation of powerful adepts… but because of my determination, I spent another five hundred years in the ultimate Dharma stage and only continued to the Primordial Soul stage just before my life was about to end.

"At that point, the rest who were the same age as me, and who used to be inferior to me, had all reached the Divine Transformation stage, and some who were more outstanding had even reached the Separating Divinity stage!"

Chapter 301: Ancient Primordial Soul Technique?

"Of course, I have no regrets… if it was not for the fact that I was reaching the end of my life, I would not have continued to progress to the Primordial Soul stage, as that would mean that my efforts for the past hundred years would have all gone to waste!"

At this point, a tinge of reluctance could be heard in the voice of the usually calm Liu Pingsheng.

"You can only imagine how I felt then.

"Hundreds of years of effort gone to waste… and those who were previously inferior to me had already surpassed me one by one.

"At the time, I chose to leave the sect.

"After that, I traveled around and happened to meet two people. They were people who left the Hengliu galaxy… one was from the Qi Dynasty, and the other was from the Guangling Academy.

"The three of us accompanied one another for a long time… until we got attacked by others. The two of them died while protecting me. I was only able to survive because of their sacrifice."

Liu Pingsheng let out a sigh, and a sense of reminiscence could be seen in his eyes.

"As I had known them for years, I knew that although they had left the Hengliu galaxy, they still cared for and missed their descendants in the Hengliu galaxy dearly… That was also why I returned to the Hengliu galaxy after taking revenge for them. I planned to protect their descendants for a thousand years before leaving.

"In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed… I had also planned to leave the Hengliu galaxy soon to search for gifted adepts who mastered the skill of Dharma Power Control. I wanted to impart to them the knowledge that I have learned over the years. Hopefully, someone will be able to fulfill my wish in my place.

"I would never have thought that I would hear of you just as I was about to leave this planet."

Liu Pingsheng looked into Zhou Donghuang's eyes, his face filled with amazement. "To be honest, after hearing about your performance in the Alliance Hunt and all your achievements at such a young age, I was very surprised.

"An astonishing young talent like you is rare to come across not only in Hengliu galaxy, but even in sects that are in galaxies that have more resources for training than the Hengliu galaxy.

"Furthermore, the disciples of those sects have been living in those galaxies since young. The resources you had for practice was nowhere comparable to what they had.

"And it is precisely because of this that I see so much potential in you. Now, you must have already guessed… why I am here, right?" Liu Pingsheng asked.

For Zhou Donghuang, he was already in shock when Liu Pingsheng was halfway into his speech.

If Liu Pingsheng was telling the truth, then he was definitely not just a late Divine Transformation stage adept or even an ultimate Divine Transformation stage adept. He was at least a Separating Divinity adept, even more superior than the Divine Transformation stage!

A thousand years ago, he reached the Primordial Soul stage as he was approaching the end of his life, which meant he was already nearing 600 years of age a thousand years ago.

Moreover, he had even traveled with two people from the Qi Dynasty and the Guangling Academy for a period of time. This meant that a thousand years ago, he was already more than 600 years old, or even older than that.

Unless he practiced the "Technique of Everlasting Youth," then it would be simply impossible in any other circumstances.

The lifespan of a Divine Transformation adept was only 1500 years.

In his past life of a thousand years, Zhou Donghuang had never heard of any technique other than the "Technique of Everlasting Youth" that could extend one's lifespan.

"Your purpose of approaching me is to pass down the knowledge that you learned over those centuries, for me to continue polishing my Dharma Power and hopefully master the technique of Divine Dharma?"

It was not difficult for Zhou Donghuang to guess why Liu Pingsheng had come to look for him.

"Not bad."

Liu Pingsheng nodded. "In the time ahead, I will be staying at your Lightning Sword Sect for a while… to personally pass down the knowledge I have gained for the past few hundred years to you. Once I have given you all my knowledge, I will then leave."

After hearing Liu Pingsheng's words, even the usually unshaken Zhou Donghuang could not help but gasp.

In fact, Zhou Donghuang was already moved when he had heard that by mastering the technique of Divine Dharma, even with a poor foundation in practice, there was still a hundred percent chance of entering the Deity's Tribulation stage.

By practicing the "Lord of the Four Supremes," Zhou Donghuang could at most reach the Primordial Soul stage. To progress further to later stages, he would have to create his own technique.

Even with his thousand years of memory from his previous life, it was still a challenging path to take to forge his own technique beyond the Primordial Soul stage.

If the technique of Divine Dharma was indeed this powerful, the moment he mastered the technique, there would be no need for him to create his own technique anymore. He could reach the Deity's Tribulation stage through mastering Divine Dharma.

"I have to confirm something.

"As long as the technique of Divine Dharma is mastered, one can really reach the Deity's Tribulation stage no matter how poor their practice technique is?" Zhou Donghuang asked.

"If I can only reach the Primordial Soul stage with my current method of practice… I can still reach the Deity's Tribulation stage as long as I master the technique of Divine Dharma, without changing my method of practice?"

Upon hearing Zhou Donghuang's question, Liu Pingsheng looked at him in shock. "Your method of practice can only reach the Primordial Soul stage?"

"Yes." Zhou Donghuang nodded.

"What a coincidence." Liu Pingsheng smiled as he shook his head.

"Coincidence?" Zhou Donghuang was confused as he did not know what Liu Pingsheng's words meant.

"In the past, even the most outstanding techniques that the ancient people practiced only allowed one to progress up to the Primordial Soul stage.

Liu Pingsheng sighed and continued, "I found out about this from the book left behind by the ancient ancestor.

"Even so, the outstanding adepts could still enter the Deity's Tribulation stage. This was because when they were at the Dharma stage, they mastered the technique of Divine Dharma.

"By using the technique of Divine Dharma, even as they entered the Primordial Soul stage, they were able to cultivate the powers of Primordial Soul Dharma Power to devour and absorb all the energy of heaven and Earth, even those in spirit stones and crystals.

"Their practice method after reaching the Primordial Soul stage was rather straightforward. They simply utilized the technique of Divine Dharma to aid in their practice.

"For ordinary Dharma adepts, even if they could master the technique of Dharma Power Control, they were unable to use their Dharma Power the moment they reached the Primordial Soul stage as they were unable to continue cultivating their Dharma Power… however, for adepts who were able to master the technique of Divine Dharma, even when they entered the Primordial Soul stage, they could continue cultivating their Dharma Power on the foundations of Primordial Soul stage.

"This was also termed as Primordial Soul Dharma."

At this point, Liu Pingsheng paused for a while before continuing, "When I first heard about this, I was also extremely shocked as I could never imagine that in the ancient times, even the greatest adepts were only able to reach the Primordial Soul stage.

"During the ancient times, reaching the Primordial Soul stage was already considered the highest level of practice, and this was extremely rare.

"Moreover, those who were able to reach the Primordial Soul stage during the ancient era and those who were able to reach the Primordial Soul stage in this era are different… even for those who are practicing a Deity's Tribulation technique now, they will also be defeated easily by a Primordial Soul adept from the ancient era who was practicing the ancient Primordial Soul level technique!

"Those who are practicing Primordial Soul in our era, even if they are able to reach the Primordial Soul stage, they may not be comparable to the ancient people who were practicing the ancient Primordial Soul technique to the ultimate Dharma stage.

"The difference is just too great. The techniques that were practiced during that era were more powerful than we can imagine."

At this point, Zhou Donghuang's eyes narrowed as he was taken aback.

Liu Pingsheng's words seemed like a bolt of lightning that struck from the heavens above, splitting the thick fog that shrouded Zhou Donghuang's heart.

Ancient Primordial Soul technique?

If Liu Pingsheng was telling the truth, then the "Lord of the Four Supremes" technique that he had been practicing could possibly be the Ancient Primordial Soul technique from the ancient era.

Not only that, but it was also considered a rare and top practice method in the ancient era, as the "Lord of the Four Supremes" could allow one to practice all the way to the Primordial Soul stage!

"Everything that you said… was recorded in that book?" Zhou Donghuang asked.

"Yes." Liu Pingsheng nodded.

"The ancient era's history may be divided, but there must be differences between the words used during that era and now… you can recognize them?" Zhou Donghuang asked once again.

"You even know about this?"

Liu Pingsheng was taken aback, as he would never imagine someone from a small galaxy like Hengliu galaxy would know something like this.

"In the sect that I was previously in, there were records written in ancient text. In my youth, as I was interested in these ancient languages, I learned to understand them," Liu Pingsheng said.

"Can you let me take a look at this book?"

Zhou Donghuang's gaze flickered as he finally let the words out of his mouth.

"No problem, it's just that… will you be able to understand it?"

Liu Pingsheng glanced at Zhou Donghuang suspiciously, clearly not believing that Zhou Donghuang would be able to understand the text from the ancient era.

"Yes."

Zhou Donghuang nodded as he had encountered a few stelae from the ancient era in his previous life. As he was curious about the inscriptions on the stelae, he specifically learned the language of the ancient era from people who understood the characters.

However, those stelae only recorded ordinary information, and he did not gain much knowledge from them.

While Zhou Donghuang was nodding, Liu Pingsheng had already retrieved the book from his space ring. Although the material used to weave the book seemed old and damaged, there was no sign of damage or decomposition on the book itself.

"What is written on the cover page?"

Liu Pingsheng was not hasty in handing the book over to Zhou Donghuang. He turned the cover page towards Zhou Donghuang and seemed to be testing him on purpose.

Zhou Donghuang immediately recognized the characters on the booklet, "The Diary of Yun Yi."

The moment Zhou Donghuang finished his sentence, Liu Pingsheng exclaimed, "You… you can actually recognize the characters?!"

The booklet in his hands was indeed left behind by an ancient person, named Yun Yi.

On the cover page, the words written were indeed what Zhou Donghuang had just said.

Chapter 302: Three Months

As Zhou Donghuang took the book and flipped through it, Liu Pingsheng stared at him unblinkingly, his eyes filled with shock.

Even for someone like him, he had spent a few decades understanding the ancient language that was used in this book. The young man in front of him seemed to just be slightly older than twenty years of age, yet he could still somehow read the ancient language that was in the book?

In fact, from his lack of expression from start to end, he clearly had not encountered any words that he did not recognize.

Even Liu Pingsheng could only roughly grasp the meaning of whatever was written in the book; some obscure words were unknown to him because these words did not appear in any other texts in that ancient language.

"You know these words?"

When Zhou Donghuang flipped to a page again, Liu Pingsheng pointed to a row of words on the page and asked him seriously.

When Zhou Donghuang translated those words for Liu Pingsheng, this left him in a state of shock. He looked at Zhou Donghuang with a complicated gaze.

Where did this boy come from?

Not only was he skilled in martial arts, but he was also able to read this ancient language?

From what it seemed, this young man had a better grasp of this ancient language than him.

Zhou Donghuang flipped through the small book quickly, reading more than two hundred pages in the blink of an eye. He confirmed that whatever Liu Pingsheng had said earlier was the truth, and he even confirmed that the "Lord of the Four Supremes" technique that he was training in was indeed an ancient Primordial Soul level technique.

In ancient times, Primordial Soul level techniques were the supreme techniques.

Furthermore, Primordial Soul level techniques that allowed one to train up to the ultimate Primordial Soul stage were scarce in those times.

"Earth actually has one of the supreme ancient techniques, "the Lord of the Four Supremes…" Looks like Earth could have flourished once many years ago. In fact, Earth could have possibly had many talented adepts."

"Those legends from Earth could have been true," Zhou Donghuang guessed.

"Looks like I should return to Earth in the future and take a good look around for anything that was left behind by the people of those ancient times."

In his past life, he had not known about the supreme techniques of the ancient ages on Earth.

Now that he knew about this, he knew that he would have to search Earth well to try to discover more items… perhaps the Lord of the Four Supremes was just the tip of the iceberg among these ancient supreme techniques.

"I am grateful that you want to teach me the Divine Dharma technique that you spent centuries learning… but if I do not see any hope in this, I will not be as persistent as you, and I will just continue on to the Primordial Soul stage."

As he returned the small book to Liu Pingsheng, Zhou Donghuang reminded him, "If you want me to perfect my Dharma Power to such an extent before I reach the Primordial Soul stage, which will affect my progress… you do not have to teach me whatever you learned."

Now, Zhou Donghuang had made up his mind.

The technique of Divine Dharma seemed alluring, but it could also be a trap.

Hence, he had to make himself clear to Liu Pingsheng to avoid him placing all his hopes on Zhou Donghuang. This technique could also prevent him from reaching the Primordial Soul stage if he did not master it, but Zhou Donghuang did not wish to spend too long at the Dharma stage.

If he did not see any hope, he would insist on improving his level of skill and reach the Primordial Soul stage.

"Haha…"

Hearing Zhou Donghuang's worries, Liu Pingsheng laughed and said, "This rascal, are you worried that I will be so stubborn that I will use my power to dictate your fate, to stop you from progressing to the Primordial Soul stage before you master the technique of Divine Dharma?"

"Yes."

Zhou Donghuang nodded. He had no need to hide his thoughts. This was exactly what he had been worried about.

Liu Pingsheng was simply too powerful when compared to him. If Liu Pingsheng forced him to comply, he could not do anything to resist.

"Do not worry."

Liu Pingsheng shook his head and smiled. "I do not wish to hang myself on a tree like you… after I teach you whatever I learned about the technique over these years, I will leave the Hengliu galaxy and continue searching for other Dharma adepts who have mastered the technique of Dharma Power Control to teach them the same thing.

"To say the truth, even towards you, I am just trying my luck, and not placing all my hopes on you to actually master this technique," added Liu Pingsheng.

Zhou Donghuang only relaxed after hearing this. He stared at Liu Pingsheng and said seriously, "In this matter, take it as I, Zhou Donghuang, owing you a favor. I will pay you back in the future."

Hearing these words from Zhou Donghuang, Liu Pingsheng was taken aback, then began to laugh as he said, "How interesting… but if you want to repay the favor, you will have to master the technique of Divine Dharma first.

"Otherwise, you may not be able to return this favor."

Of course, Liu Pingsheng did not take Zhou Donghuang's promise to heart.

It was only many years later that he realized the value of the promise that the young man had just made.

Just like that, Liu Pingsheng began his stay in the Lightning Sword Sect.

To make it more convenient for him to meet Zhou Donghuang, He Jin, the Autumn Valley Head, expanded Zhou Donghuang's courtyard and built a new room to allow Liu Pingsheng to live there.

At the start, when Liu Pingsheng had come to look for Zhou Donghuang, He Jin had been worried about Zhou Donghuang's safety.

Now, he was no longer worried; instead, he was overjoyed that Liu Pingsheng was staying in the Autumn Valley. In fact, he hoped that he could stay longer in the Lightning Sword Sect. For such an incredible presence to stay there and guide Zhou Donghuang was undoubtedly Zhou Donghuang's great fortune.

Of course, the leader of the Lightning Sword Sect also hoped that Liu Pingsheng could stay indefinitely in the sect, so that he could lead the Lightning Sword Sect to become the third Transcendental Force in the Hengliu galaxy.

Furthermore, as long as Liu Pingsheng was at the Lightning Sword Sect, the two Transcendental Forces of the Hengliu galaxy, the Qi Dynasty and the Guangling Academy, could no nothing against the Lightning Sword Sect.

Of course, this was nothing but wishful thinking on his part.

Liu Pingsheng only stayed at the Lightning Sword Sect for three months, then left.

Originally, he had intended to stay there for a few years.

However, he did not expect that this martial art talent from the Lightning Sword Sect would be able to easily grasp all that he had learned and cultivated over all those centuries. He did not need him to repeat himself to the boy at all.

Finally, before he left, Liu Pingsheng had a strong feeling that this martial art talent from the Lightning Sword Sect would really be able to master the Divine Dharma technique in the future and create history!

Since the end of ancient times, in the thousands of clans and sects in the galaxies of the universe, it was unheard of for one to perfect their Dharma Power to the extent of Divine Dharma. It was widely acknowledged that the final limit of the Dharma stage was Dharma Power Control.

"Goodbye."

As he left, Liu Pingsheng's greeting was short and simple.

"Farewell."

Zhou Donghuang's reply was equally as simple.

Chapter 303: Three Ultimate Primordial Soul Adepts

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

In three months, besides what Liu Pingsheng had learned about the technique of Divine Dharma through his experience all those years ago, Zhou Donghuang and Liu Pingsheng did not talk about anything else.

However, after three months, the two of them felt as if they had known each other for a long time.

In the three months, Zhou Donghuang had worked on the foundations laid by Liu Pingsheng centuries ago. Zhou Donghuang's understanding of the technique left Liu Pingsheng shocked. In fact, he guessed that if he had met Zhou Donghuang in the past, he could possibly have successfully mastered the technique of Divine Dharma.

Liu Pingsheng left the Lightning Sword Sect quietly. Besides Zhou Donghuang, nobody else noticed his absence.

It was only a month after Liu Pingsheng had left that He Jin, the Autumn Valley Head, came to look for him to ask for advice on a problem that he had met with during his practice… that was when he found out that Liu Pingsheng had already left the Autumn Valley and the Lightning Sword Sect a month ago.

"Donghuang, why didn't you inform me?"

He Jin smiled awkwardly. Liu Pingsheng's absence was a huge matter to both him and the Lightning Sword Sect.

"Valley Head, what problem did you face with your practice?"

Knowing that He Jin had come to look for Liu Pingsheng to ask for advice related to his training, Zhou Donghuang could not help but laugh quietly to himself.

Wasn't this going around the sun to meet the moon?

Right before him was someone who used to be a martial art talent at the ultimate Immortal stage!

"It's something about breaking through… I always feel as if I am about to break through to the Divine Transformation stage, but something's still missing."

He Jin laughed sadly as he said, "But since Senior Liu has already left, I can also consult the Sect Leader or an elder instead."

The two Divine Transformation adepts of the Lightning Sword Sect were nothing compared to Senior Liu Pingsheng, who had already left, but they could surely give him enough advice. After all, they had their own experience with reaching the Divine Transformation stage.

"Valley Head, after you converted to using the Thousand Star Sword Technique, it is only a matter of time before you reach the Divine Transformation stage… typically, you should not encounter such a huge bottleneck," said Zhou Donghuang.

He Jin had converted to practicing the Thousand Star Sword Technique quite some time ago, and Zhou Donghuang had expected him to already have reached the Divine Transformation stage. He did not think that he would still be stuck at the Primordial Soul stage after so long.

"Normally, you should have broken through a long time ago," added Zhou Donghuang.

Hearing this, He Jin replied awkwardly, "Normally, I should indeed have broken through by now… however, I was greedy. When I first converted to the Thousand Star Sword Technique, I tried to keep some of what I had learned from my previous technique that I believed was crucial. However, at the end of the day, it proved to be creating unnecessary trouble for myself, and I wasted much effort on that.

"Although I managed to correct myself eventually, when I tried to reach the crucial point before the Divine Transformation stage, I still reached a barrier."

Besides his slight embarrassment, He Jin was also extremely helpless.

"Keeping some things from the previous technique?"

Zhou Donghuang was speechless. Although that would allow one to learn the new technique more quickly, it would still be more work in the end because the technique came as a package. If one were to keep things from the old technique, it would definitely hinder the progress of mastering the new technique.

"What is the situation now?" asked Zhou Donghuang.

He Jin shook his head and replied, "I am not too sure myself… I just have a feeling that after I converted wholehearted to the new technique, there are still remnants of the old routes from the previous technique. When the inner Yuan and Spirit energy pass through my body, some of them will somehow end up following the previous routes.

"I have tried to correct it; I spent one day, ten days, one month, three months, and the longest I spent was even half a year… but there was no improvement," said He Jin sadly.

"Not even after half a year?"

Zhou Donghuang frowned slightly and said, "Valley Head, when you were trying to correct it, did you at times allow your Spirit energy or inner Yuan to automatically flow through those routes?"

"Yes."

He Jin nodded and answered, "Sometimes, I try doing that to test if I have successfully corrected it, but usually not for long."

Hearing He Jin's explanation, Zhou Donghuang shook his head and said, "That is the problem.

"During this period where you are correcting it, you must not allow your Spirit energy or inner Yuan to automatically flow through those routes… why don't you try again, whenever you are practicing, whenever anything flows through those routes, you must control the flow and not allow it to flow automatically.

"If all goes well, within a month, you will surely be able to correct it," Zhou Donghuang said.

"Of course, within this month, you must remember not to allow your Spirit energy or inner Yuan to automatically flow through those routes… because before you successfully correct this problem, if you allow the Spirit energy or inner Yuan to flow automatically through those routes, all your previous efforts will have been for naught.

"If you keep this up for a month and ensure that the Spirit energy and inner Yuan avoid those routes, you will be able to break that bad habit and correct the problem once and for all."

He Jin's problem was a small one that Zhou Donghuang could solve easily.

He Jin was not stupid either. After hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, he clearly understood the feasibility of his idea, and after quickly bidding farewell to Zhou Donghuang, he disappeared to try it.

After He Jin had left, Zhou Donghuang returned to his room to continue his practice.

"I never would have thought that… after Dharma Power Control, there is Divine Dharma!"

As Zhou Donghuang sat cross-legged on the mattress, four bright sources of light emanated from his body. These were none other than the four supreme beasts. They surrounded Zhou Donghuang and swallowed the Spirit energy in the air with large gulps.

The Spirit energy of the Qi-Gathering formation was thick, and Zhou Donghuang had hardly been able to use it up during his normal practice. But now, the speed at which the Qi-Gathering formation was absorbing the Spirit energy was far slower than the speed that the four beasts were swallowing up the Spirit energy.

This was simply the Divine Dharma technique.

Before Liu Pingsheng had left, Zhou Donghuang had already mastered the Divine Dharma technique, but he had not exposed himself in front of Liu Pingsheng… he did not wish to become a target for everybody.

If Liu Pingsheng had no untoward thoughts, that would be fine.

But if Liu Pingsheng had other intentions, that would be trouble for him.

"I did not think that by using the Lord of the Four Supremes together with the foundations laid by Liu Pingsheng's knowledge, I would be able to master the Divine Dharma technique in just three short months."

Up to now, Zhou Donghuang could not help but sigh. "Looks like the Lord of the Four Supremes is an ancient Primordial Soul level technique that is indeed very helpful in mastering the Divine Dharma technique."

The effect of the Divine Dharma technique was to allow one to produce the light of the Dharma Power and allow the Dharma Power to swallow Spirit energy to aid its practice.

Typically, the speed at which one's Dharma Power swallowed Spirit energy was already very fast, but with the help of four Dharma Powers surrounding him, Zhou Donghuang absorbed Spirit energy at an incredible rate.

Now, there were visible disturbances in the Spirit energy around Zhou Donghuang's house.

Of course, this was only noticeable if one came closer.

Before Liu Pingsheng had left, Zhou Donghuang had not dared to use the Divine Dharma technique to absorb Spirit energy to aid his training. Now that Liu Pingsheng had left, he could then use it at ease.

"Feels like… with this speed, in no time at all, my ultimate Dharma Powers will be able to reach the Primordial Soul stage and become four supreme Primordial Soul beasts!"

Zhou Donghuang's eyes flashed open abruptly, shining brightly.

Previously, with the help of the four Sky Sun elixirs, the four supreme beast Dharma Powers within Zhou Donghuang had reached the ultimate Dharma stage.

Now, after mastering the Divine Dharma technique, his practice had become even faster. He could sense that he would be able to reach the Primordial Soul stage very soon and become a Primordial Soul adept!

Furthermore, he no longer had to worry about the problem of practicing beyond the Primordial Soul stage using the Lord of the Four Supremes. With the help of the Divine Dharma technique, he would follow in the footsteps of the ancient humans who came before him.

He would no longer have to work on the foundations of the Lord of the Four Supremes to try to produce a technique for further improvement. Even if he wanted to produce the continuation of the technique beyond the Primordial Soul, he would not be able to do so. Since ancient times, countless talents had tried to do the same, but none had managed to figure out the continuation of the technique beyond the Divine Transformation stage.

Of course, there was no need for that.

The Divine Dharma technique was enough to allow one to successfully reach the Deity stage.

However, Zhou Donghuang could not forget about the mysterious huge demon that lay on the Guiyao planet.

…

"That Zhou Donghuang, is he still cooped up at the Autumn Valley?"

As Zhou Donghuang was trying to reach the Primordial Soul stage, a figure was standing at the galaxy teleporter not far from the Lightning Sword Sect on the Tielao planet.

This was a middle-aged man, and beside him, there was an old man and another middle-aged man.

If Zhou Donghuang were here, he would be able to know with just a glance that the man who had spoken was none other than Chu Wei, the Chu official of the Qi Dynasty who had visited him along with the fourteenth prince of the Qi Dynasty, Qi Rui.

"Yes."

The man who had reported the news was young and one of the disciples of the Autumn Valley of the Lightning Sword Sect. His real identity was a spy that the Qi Dynasty had placed within the Lightning Sword Sect.

"Continue watching him. If he does anything, inform me immediately," ordered Chu Wei seriously.

"Yes, Official Chu."

The man bowed, then turned and left.

"Chu Wei."

Then, the middle-aged man beside Chu Wei frowned and said, "This time, are we not here to kill a Dharma adept? It would be more than enough for you to do it alone, but Seventh Prince still asked both of us to come with you.

"Three ultimate Primordial Soul adepts to ambush a Dharma adept… if news were to be leaked out, how embarrassing would it be for us?"

As the middle-aged man spoke, he was clearly unhappy.

"This was not decided by me… if you must ask, you will have to question Seventh Prince."

Chu Wei shook his head. He was equally confused about the decision.

Hearing Chu Wei's words, the middle-aged man then shut his mouth and did not pursue this topic further. Clearly, he did not have the guts to question the seventh prince of their Qi Dynasty.

"Seventh Prince has said that this matter was personally instructed by Emperor Qi himself… So even if all three of us have to be involved, then we have to do a good job!"

The old man beside Chu Wei, who had not spoken a word, finally spoke up.

Chapter 304: Ambush

Time waited for no man.

In September 1234 of the Ziyun era, Zhou Donghuang had left the Ziyun planet and finally arrived at the Hengliu galaxy. He entered the Autumn Valley of the Lightning Sword Sect.

In September 1237 of the Ziyun era, Zhou Donghuang took part in the Alliance Hunt of the Hengliu galaxy, and three months later, which was December 1237 of the Ziyun era, he successfully won the Alliance Hunt.

In the blink of an eye, it was now the end of the year 1238 of the Ziyun era.

At this point, it had been more than half a year since Liu Pingsheng had left, and Zhou Donghuang had also been training in isolation for a full six months.

In the six months, with the help of the Qi-Gathering formation produced using his spirit stones and the Divine Dharma technique, Zhou Donghuang finally reached the Primordial Soul stage successfully… of course, it was not the Primordial Soul stage recognized by the Lord of the Four Supremes.

The Lord of the Four Supremes required all four Dharma Powers to reach the Primordial Soul stage for the adept to be considered a Primordial Soul adept. If only one, two or three of the Dharma Powers transformed from the Dharma stage to the Primordial Soul stage, that wouldn't be enough.

"In the blink of an eye, it has already been more than three years since I left the Ziyun planet… when I come back from the Guiyao planet this time, I will go to a few more places to collect some things, then make my way back to the Ziyun planet and bring some spirit stones and elixirs back for them."

More than three years ago, when Zhou Donghuang had left the Ziyun planet, he had planned to return once he had gathered enough training resources to give to his family and those of the Donghuang Sect.

Now, it seemed about time to do so.

Of course, after three years, Zhou Donghuang's appearance had hardly changed. He looked as youthful and as handsome as before, but his pair of eyes looked like it had aged as if it was no longer the bright eyes of youth.

"Little Brother, you're finally out?"

The moment that Zhou Donghuang walked out into the yard, Da Zhuang's voice rang out from outside.

Da Zhuang had rushed over when he had heard the creaking of Zhou Donghuang's door being pushed open.

"Da Zhuang, have you reached the ultimate Dharma stage?" asked Zhou Donghuang with a smile.

"Not yet."

Da Zhuang rubbed the back of his head sheepishly as he said, "I'm more stupid. Sister already reached the ultimate Dharma stage two months ago, but I have not reached it yet.

"Valley Head said there is no use for me to lock myself up to train; it may even be counter-productive… so these few days, I have been training some of the moves taught in the Fiery Thunder Training Regimen in the courtyard."

As he spoke, Da Zhuang glanced furtively at Zhou Donghuang, as if he was afraid that Zhou Donghuang would be disappointed at his poor performance.

"You have already done well."

Zhou Donghuang smiled and said, "Third Sister has always been more naturally talented than you, so it is normal that she progressed earlier than you.

"Continue training those moves. I have something that I need to discuss with the Valley Head."

With that, Zhou Donghuang turned and left to meet He Jin, the Autumn Valley Head. After meeting He Jin, Zhou Donghuang did not return to his own residence. Instead, he directly left the Lightning Sword Sect and headed to the Guiyao planet.

He had waited a long time for this day.

"Typically, that huge demon of the Guiyao planet should still be there… after all, one year ago, the Guiyao planet did not have any signs that the demon was reaching the end of its stay there."

As he thought of this, Zhou Donghuang's eyes lit up as he left the Lightning Sword Sect.

He did not head towards the galaxy teleporter that was located near the Lightning Sword Sect. Instead, he made his way through the stars with his body alone, towards the Guiyao planet. There were no galaxy teleporters between the Tielao planet, where the Lightning Sword Sect was at, and the Guiyao planet.

He would need to go to a different galaxy teleporter to reach the Guiyao planet, but it would be more efficient to simply make his way through the stars himself.

Not long after Zhou Donghuang left the Lightning Sword Sect, a figure discreetly left the Lightning Sword Sect and headed to the galaxy teleporter stationed outside of the Lightning Sword Sect.

"Official Chu, Zhou Donghuang has just left the Lightning Sword Sect," the figure said.

This man who had just leaked this information was none other than one of the spies that had been placed in the Autumn Valley by the Qi Dynasty.

"Left the Lightning Sword Sect?"

Chu Wei, an official of the Qi Dynasty, appeared excited as his eyes lit up. He asked, "Where was he headed?"

"He stepped into the skies and seemed to be heading for outside the galaxy… from what it looked like, he did not intend to use the galaxy teleporter," the spy of the Qi Dynasty answered.

"He did not intend to use the galaxy teleporter, but just headed into the galaxy by himself? Which direction did he go in?" Chu Wei frowned slightly as he asked.

"There."

With the direction pointed by the spy, Chu Wei looked though his telescope, and his eyes landed on the far distance. "This direction… is this the way to the Guiyao planet?

"Is Zhou Donghuang trying to go to the Guiyao planet?"

In the past, the various sects of the Alliance had the Alliance Hunt on the Guiyao planet. He and the fourteenth prince of the Qi Dynasty were nearby then and had sped through the stars with their bodies alone and arrived at the Lightning Sword Sect on the Tielao planet.

Precisely because of that, he was familiar with the route towards the Guiyao planet.

With the direction pointed out by the spy, he immediately realized that Zhou Donghuang was headed towards the Guiyao planet.

"Alright, you may leave now."

After the spy took his leave, Chu Wei spoke to the two men beside him, "Gentlemen, it is time for action.

"I know you think that he is just a Dharma adept, and don't think he is worth your abilities… but this matter was personally instructed by Emperor Qi himself, so I hope that the two of you do a good job. Do not be careless.

"If there is any mistake, it will be difficult for us to report this to Emperor Qi and his son, the seventh prince."

Upon Chu Wei's reminder, the other middle-aged man, who had had a look of disdain on his face, now turned serious. As for the other old man, he had a calm expression on his face from the beginning till the end, hardly displaying any happiness or anger.

"Let's go!"

The three officials of the Qi Dynasty, three ultimate Primordial Soul adepts, turned into three streaks of light as they disappeared from the galaxy transporter and into the skies above. In a moment, they had disappeared from view, as if they were never there.

"We will split up as we go forth, once anybody discovers his tracks, we'll gather again and kill him!

"Seventh Prince said that there should be nobody left alive to tell the story!

"A presence as outstanding as him, if he has the chance to escape from this ambush, he will surely take revenge on the Qi Dynasty. That will definitely be trouble for our Qi Dynasty.

"So we have to ensure that he is killed today, and leave no trace of the attack by destroying the body as well!"

Chu Wei spoke seriously to the other two alongside him. The three ultimate Primordial Soul officials of the Qi Dynasty made their way through the clouds and fog above the Tielao planet and appeared among the stars of the galaxy.

In the next instant, the other two separated and maintained a distance from each other as they flew together.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three people formed the three points of a triangle formation, led by Chu Wei, as they rushed towards the Guiyao planet.

At the same time, Zhou Donghuang was similarly making his way through the galaxy flying towards the Guiyao planet ahead of Chu Wei and the other two officials of the Qi Dynasty.

In fact, Zhou Donghuang's speed was faster than Chu Wei had expected.

The three of them only discovered him after a long period of time, and when they witnessed his speed, they could not help but question, "This… this is a Dharma adept?"

The two men beside Chu Wei looked at Chu Wei together and asked, "Are we following the wrong person?"

The figure in front of them was moving at a speed that was impossible for any Dharma adept to achieve.

He was at least an early Primordial Soul adept.

Although there was still a large distance between them, Chu Wei's eyes were still sharp enough to recognize Zhou Donghuang's back at a glance. "No mistake! It is definitely him!

"This rascal, I would remember how he looks from the back, even if turns to ashes!"

As Chu Wei spoke, his tone was frightening.

Back then, if the leader of the Lightning Sword Sect, Yu Yucheng, was not standing by the side, he would surely have disciplined this rascal right there and then for being so rude towards them!

"Looks like he was almost at the frontier of the ultimate Dharma stage back then… then, after using the Sky Sun fruit, he managed to reach the Primordial soul stage within just a year," guessed Chu Wei.

"Sky Sun fruit?"

Hearing Chu Wei's words, a tinge of regret seemed to flash across the eyes of the two men beside him. "What a waste that such a precious fruit would be eaten by someone who is about to die.

"So what if this Zhou Donghuang used the Sky Sun fruit? In the end, he does not have long to live. Such a waste of something so precious, it would've been a better use if my grandson used it!"

The conversation between the two men revealed their sense of disappointment that Zhou Donghuang had wasted something as valuable as the Sky Sun fruit.

The Sky Sun fruit was an extremely rare spirit fruit, but now, it had been used by a man who was about to die.

Not just them, even Emperor Qi would feel a tinge of loss towards this.

"A Primordial Soul adept at just twenty-seven years old… even in the history of our Qi Dynasty, I don't think someone like that has appeared before, right?"

The middle-aged man asked suddenly, his eyes shining.

"No."

The other old man shook his head and answered, "In the history of our Qi Dynasty, the youngest disciple to reach the Primordial Soul stage only managed to achieve it at the age of twenty-nine… that disciple reached the late Divine Transformation stage before he left the Hengliu galaxy."

"Haha…"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed as his eyes shone brightly. "To be able to kill such a talent with my bare hands will be my pride and glory for the rest of my life!"

"Let's go."

Chu Wei spoke calmly. In a swift motion, he transformed into a comet that shot through the skies, inching closer to the figure ahead of them.

The other two men followed suit.

The three ultimate Primordial Soul adept moved at unbelievable speeds and quickly caught up to the figure that was ahead of them. They not only blocked his way but also trapped him. It was if Zhou Donghuang was locked within tight walls.

"Zhou Donghuang!"

Chu Wei blocked his path and glared at him. "You must have never imagined that we would meet again so soon."

As he spoke, Chu Wei's lips curled into a smile of disdain and mock.

"Why?"

However, when faced with the appearance of Chu Wei and the other two men, Zhou Donghuang did not seem surprised at all. "You all from the Qi Dynasty, are you trying to kidnap me back to the Qi Dynasty?"

"Kidnap you to the Qi Dynasty?" Chu Wei laughed coldly as he replied.

"Zhou Donghuang, you think too highly of yourself. Do you think our Qi Dynasty would dare try to kidnap someone and use them?"

When Chu Wei looked at Zhou Donghuang again, it was as if he was looking at an idiot.

Chapter 305: He Jin takes action

"What you all here for then?"

Zhou Donghuang asked casually and his words made it seem as though he was truly ignorant as to why the others were here.

This perceived ignorance was further demonstrated through his lack of reaction or change in his temperament.

"To kill you!"

Chu Weimo spoke up. "For a threat like you, since you refuse to join the Qi Dynasty, there is only one other option, which is for you to die… Your fate was decided the moment you chose to reject first the 14th Prince and next the Seventh Prince of the Qi Dynasty previously…"

"It seems as though the Qi Dynasty is extremely scared of me."

Zhou Donghuang smiled and this was an extremely relaxed smile for someone who was facing a life or death situation.

"Hmph!"

The old man had on a guarded and cautious expression as Chu Weimo and Zi Menghu glanced beadily at Zhou Donghuang, as if they were about to take action at any moment. Suddenly, something whizzed past in the end and this was an extremely well-timed arrival.

Within an instant, under the gaze of the three people, a figure materialized and he appeared at Zhou Donghuang's side very quickly.

"He Jin?"

Seeing the arrivla of He Jin, Chu Weimo frowned slightly before glancing cautiously in the direction that He JIn ahd came from. After discovering that there was no one else following behind, his frown was replaced by a relaxed expression again.

If only He Jin was present, there was nothing much to fear.

After all, He Jin was at the same Primordial Soul stage as him.

Perhaps, if they duelled one on one, He Jin would be able to win the fight.

However, now, they had three ultimate Primordial Soul adepts present. If these three ultimate Primordial Soul adepts were to join forces, even the strongest ultimate Primordial Soul adept of the Lightning Sword Sect would not be able to defeat them, let alone the Autumn Valley Sect Leader, He Jin!

"The Valley Head of the Lightning Sword Sect Autumn Valley?"

As Chu Weimo shouted out He Jin's name, the two beside him all recognized his identity. Although they had never met him, they had heard of him.

"What are you three of the Qi Dynasty doing here?"

Out of the three before him, He Jin had only met one person before and this was Weimo. He had met Weimowhen the 14th Prince of the Qi Dynasty had first visited the Lightning Sword Sect with Weimo and that had been their first meeting. He knew that Weimo was loyal to the Qi Dynasty and was an ultimate Primordial Soul adept.

"Qi Dynasty?"

Upon hearing He Jin's words, Weimo merely replied shortly, "we are not people of the Qi Dynasty. You are mistaken."

It was clear that Weimo had no intention of admitting to his identity.

In any case, the deed that they were about to carry out was not an honorable one at all.

"Let's get rid of them for once and for all!"

The next sentence was uttered by Weimo in an extremely straightforward and undisturbed manner.

Seconds after Weimo's words had been uttered, other than him, the two men beside him attacked at the same time. The strong Primordial Soul powers visibly rose up like three towering, giant mountains. As they rose up, they looked like gods of war that would cover the skies and light shone in halos around them.

Weimo's Primordial Soul power was shaped like three huamns and it was clearly a three figured Primoridal Soul power, adding on strength to the outer powers of the other two.

Boom!

Weimo's Primordial Soul Power reached out and heavily dealth a blow to Zhou Donghuang and He Jin's heads like a giant mountain crashing down from the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

…

Chai Menghu's Primordial Soul power was weilding a knife. Without much effort, he managed to shoot beams of gleaming knives towards Zhou Donghuang and He Jin, and the scene looked as if knives were raining down from the skies.

Crash!

As for the Primordial Soul power of the remaining old man, his previouly frail frame was now suddenly expanded. With one fist, chaos rained down as if he had managed to knock a hole in the skies. A humungous fist the size of a giant meteorite appeared and flew towards Zhou Donghuang and He Jin at a ridiculous speed.

The combined attacks by the three people surrounded Zhou Donghuang and He Jin thoroughly and it was clear that they intended to kill both individuals at the same time.

Towards this hostile attack by the three people, Zhou Donghuang maintained a calm and undisturbed expression, standing where he was casually. As for He Jin, who was standing by his side, he too stared impassively at the combined attack by the three enemies.

As the three enemies' attacks approached Zhou Donghuang and He Jin, He Jin spoke up with an indifferent tone. "If this were the me of three months ago, I would probably die facing the three of you today… It's a pity for you that the me now is vastly different from the me of three months ago!"

Almost instantly after He Jin had spoken, his body suddenly became illusory and increased in size. His Primordial Soul power, which was as big as a huge mountain, rose up in the endless sky and it was so big that it was looked to be able to pluck down planets and destroy seas.

An overwhelming and scary aura filled the air as this Primordial Soul adept, He Jin, shot out beams of clear and sharp swords like arrows. His Primordial Soul power surrounded him like a Primordial Soul stage version of the Sword God Dharma Power, looking extremely magnificent as it swirled in the air.

As He Jin revealed his Primordial Soul powers, the other three Primordial Souladepts as well as other bystanders of the Primordial Soul stage now had on extremely shocked expressions.

He was much stronger than the others had thought and the three Primordial Soul adepts now regretted belittling him. They had originally attacked as a trio with the intention to kill both Zhou Donghuang and He Jin at the same time to present to the Qi Dynasty. However, upon seeing the Primordial Soul power that He Jin had demonstrated, the three big ultimate Primordial Soul adepts' eyes collectively widened and their facial expressions changed dramatically.

"A Divine Transformation adept?!"

The trio almost collectively shouted out at the same time and their tone was full of shock and disbelief. Clearly, they had imagined that the Lightning Sword Sect Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, would be a Divine Transformation adept.

In the entire Lightning Sword Sect, even if another Divine Transformation adept was produced, surely He Jin had not been one of those with that potential?

How did He Jin achieve this?

"This is the first time I, He Jin, am using my power after crossing over into the Divine Transformation stage."

He Jin's voice rang out and it was clear and loud, causing the entire planet to tremble

"Since you three have barged in here, you will also die here today!"

As he spoke, almost instantly, that giant Primordial Soul power of He Jin's that was as big as a mountain now opened its mouth and spat out countless numbers of swords that looked like flashing beams of light. These beams of swords immediately broke up the combined attack of the trio and turned them into useless dust.

"This is not good! He is not just a typical Divine Transformation adept!"

"My goodness! This level of attack is not possible for even a mid Divine Transformation adept!"

"This He Jin actually managed to conceal such strong powers!"

…

The facial expressions of Chu Weimo and his two companions changed again. This time, they exchanged glances of extreme determination.

Afterwards, the trio headed for different directions and flew far away.

The strength of He Jin's was far more than they had imagined.

Even with the full force of their combined attack, which they had unleashed like a giant ball of fury, it was not able to combat even a single attack by He Jin's Primordial Soul power, which had spat out countless swords in beams of light.

The He Jin of now was definitely much stronger than even an average mid Divine Transformation adept's powers!

On the other hand, they could very well confirm that He Jin's essential core was only that of an early Divine Transformation adept's and the ability of his to demonstrate this shocking level of skill was only because his methods were extremely unique. One could also say that the training method he used was rather peculiar.

"At least one of us has to live long enough to return home to report this matter… This training method by He JIn has definitely topped even the best training method of the Qi Dynasty!"

"Run!"

…

For the trio, when they had first arrived, they had been showy and arrogant as they had assumed that everything was well within their control.

Even when He Jin had first arrived, they had not cared much as they felt that killing Zhou Donghuang alone or killing him alongside He Jin would make little difference.

However, never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that He Jin had become a Divine Transformation adept, let alone the fact that he was able to demonstrate a Divine Transformation power that was stronger than that of a typical mid Divine Transformation adept at the early Divine Transformation stage!

"You wish to escape?"

He JIn watched this scene with a smile and casually waved his right hand. Immediately, a beam of swords that looked like shards of glass whipped through the air like a glass shooting star.

Swish!

Swish!

With this attack by He Jin, Chu Weimo as well the old man's souls disintegrated and their bodies vanished instantly.

They had been mid-way through their escape and had not even the time to drop their shocked expressions before they werre hit.

Swish!

The swords flying cut through the air and created a glimmering path in the infinite universe as they made whooshing noises. The giant, towering Primordial Soul power of He Jin's continue to shoot out these swords and within an instant, managed to focus on the remaining middle-aged man, Chai Menghu.

As Chai Menghu froze, he had the sudden realization that his fellow comrades were already dead and his face changed to become as white as a sheet.

"He Jin!"

Glancing at He Jin, who was standing before him, Chai Menghu's eyes flashed and he forced himself to swallow the fear that was rising up within him. In a gravelly voice, he yelled out, "You can't kill me! If you kill me, the Qi Dynasty will not forgive the Lightning Sword Sect!

"The three of us were sent here by the Seventh Prince of the Qi Dynasty and we were under an oath to assasinate Zhou Donghuang.

"As for the Seventh Prince of the Qi Dynasty, he had received the permission of King Qi before he had given this order.

"If all three of us were to die here, the Qi Dynasty would definitely carry out a thorough investigation and this would implicate the entire Lightning Sword Sect… At that point, none of you would be able to survive!"

As he spoke, Chai Menghu could not resist adding in some baiting words as well. "If I were to be alive, well, the situation would be different then… I could return to the Qi Dynasty and vouch for the fact that the other two had died accidental deaths. The Qi Dynasty would not think to exact revenge on the Lightning Sword Sect then and you would not be implicated!

"Although you are powerful and stronger than any typical mid Divine Transformation adept… However, King Qi as well as the other late Divine Transformation adepts of the Qi Dynasty will be able to triumph over you very quickly. They would also take the chane to kill the other two Divine Transformation adepts of your Lightning Sword Sect!"

After he had uttered such a lengthy speech, Chai Menghu assumed that He Jin would stop to consider the suggestion he had made.

However, he had not expected that He Jin would merely glance and him and reply, "What Qi Dynasty? Are you representatives of the Qi Dynasty?

"Just now, your companion mentioned that you three are not from the Qi Dynasty, after all."

As he spoke, sparkling swords emerged from He Jin's body and surrounded the areas near ghim. Tens of thousands of swords all flew in the direction of Chai Menghu.

"No! We are people of the Qi Dynasty!

"Just now, Chu Weimo was trying to conceal our identities. We are actually from the Qi Dynasty, all of us are!

"You can't kill me, you can't-"

As he faced his death, Chai Menghu continued to yell in vain. At the same time, his hands were kept busy as he tried to counter He Jin's attack. However, he eventually perished under the pursuit of the tens of thousands of swords that He Jin had produced and his remains slowly filled the infinite universe.

He Jin's attack was truly too impressive and it caused all bystanders to look on in awe.

Those beams of swords were extremely accurate and sharp, directly allowing He Jin to claim the life of Chai Menghu.

Chapter 306: Return to the Guiyao planet

Whoosh!

After killing Chai Menghu, He Jin put his Primordial Soul power away. At the same time, he had on an expression of wonder. "I just entered the early Divine Transformation stage recently, but yet I've managed to reach such a high level of power. Once I've stabilized my training methods, does that mean I will become even more powerful?"

On the other hand, Zhou Donghuang was not surprised at all at He Jin's showcase of power. After hearing He Jin's monologue to himself, he smiled and replied casually, "Valley Head, do not forget, the method you are using to train is the Deity's Tribulation practice method, which is the most elite of methods in the entire universe!

"This training method is usually only employed by those at the peak of the top tribes of the planets and of the most powerful sects.

"This is why the early Divine Transformation adepts of the top families of the planets and of the most powerful sects would probably be able to defeat any mid Divine Transformation adept of the Hengliu galaxy.

"After all, do not forget that your added powers only came about after you transferred to the Thousand-Star Sword Technique."

Once Zhou Donghuang had spoken, He Jin was then reminded that the Thousand-Star Sword Technique, which had switched to, was an elite practice method that the entire universe would acknowledge.

"However…"

All of a sudden, Zhou Donghuang's facial expression became slightly more grave. "Valley Head, if you don't intend to create trouble for yourself, you should try not to demonstrate your full power to others.

"Just from the fight that just took place, many could already tell that although you are at the early Divine Transformation stage, you demonstrated powers that exceed that of a mid Divine Transformation adept… Under such a situation, they would immediately first assume that you had switched to an extremely high-level practice method.

Zhou Donghuang did not see a need to continue speaking words of caution as he knew that He Jin was probably aware of these facts as well.

After all, He Jin was a Valley Head of the Lightning Sword Sect, and he was extremely experienced and had seen much in his life.

"This time, I was truly too careless." He Jin nodded. "However, it is lucky that they all died so that they would not be able to spread the word after returning to the Qi Dynasty.

"Give me some time to familiarize myself with my powers. Next time, when I launch an attack, I will be able to control my abilities better."

Now, He Jin was sweating out of fright as well. Once news that he had transferred to a high-level practice method had spread, it would be hard to control the gossip within the Alliance, much less the two Transcendental Forces of the Hengliu galaxy. They would definitely find trouble with him.

After all, it was shocking that a new practice method allowed He Jin, a mere early Divine Transformation adept, to be able to have powers that exceeded that of a mid Divine Transformation adept.

Even the best practice methods within the two Transcendental Forces of the Hengliu galaxy, the Qi Dynasty and the Guangling Academy, were unable to do so.

"Mm."

Zhou Donghuang nodded his head before turning to He Jin. "Valley Head, let's continue heading towards the Guiyao planet."

This time, before heading out, Zhou Donghuang had paid a special visit to He Jin.

He had visited He Jin to request that he escort him on his journey to the Guiyao planet. After all, he had previously turned down offers by the two Transcendental Forces of the Hengliu galaxy, and it was likely that they would find trouble with him as he traveled.

After traveling for thousands of years in his past life and having many experiences, that would not surprise him at all.

In any case, although Zhou Donghuang had requested for He Jin to escort him on his journey to the Guiyao planet, he had not travelled alongside He Jin. He had instead requested that He Jin keep the furthest distance possible while travelling in the same direction as him.

Through the previous series of events, it was clear that Zhou Donghuang's precautions had not been in vain.

The Qi Dynasty had really taken action and had even sent three ultimate Primordial Soul adepts to kill him.

"Yes," He Jin replied favorably, and the duo hurriedly continued towards the Guiyao planet. This time, He Jin directly travelled alongside Zhou Donghuang.

"Donghuang, the Qi Dynasty really viewed you as a genuine threat… After all, just to kill you, they actually sent three of their ultimate Primordial Soul adepts on this mission."

Along the way, He Jin glanced at Zhou Donghuang and smiled bitterly.

Although He Jin had agreed to Zhou Donghuang's request as he had understood Zhou Donghuang's fears, he had merely assumed that the Qi Dynasty and the Guangling Academy would probably only send one or two typical Primordial Soul adepts at most to kill Zhou Donghuang.

He had not expected that the Qi Dynasty would actually send three ultimate Primordial Soul adepts on this mission!

Against the trio of ultimate Primordial Soul adepts sent by the Qi Dynasty, if He Jin had not switched to the Thousand-Star Sword Technique before crossing over to the Divine Transformation stage, he definitely would have been doomed, much less Zhou Donghuang.

"I had not expected that either."

Zhou Donghuang smiled lightly and seemed to display little emotion on his face. However, even as his eyes narrowed, internally, he took note of this fact as well.

This was the first attempt by the Qi Dynasty to get rid of him and they had been serious in their attempt.

Furthermore, it had been a direct order by the highly regarded seventh prince of the Qi Dynasty at that.

In that case, he would then choose to remember this grudge against the seventh prince of the Qi Dynasty. Since he had chosen to attempt to kill him once, he would attempt to kill someone of the Qi Dynasty as well. This target would then be the seventh prince of the Qi Dynasty.

He Jin was oblivious to Zhou Donghuang's train of thought. If he had known that Zhou Donghuang intended to kill the seventh prince of the Qi Dynasty in the future as revenge for this assassination attempt, he would definitely get a shock.

One had to know that the seventh prince of the Qi Dynasty was definitely one of the top candidates in line for ascending the throne of the Qi Dynasty.

He could even be said to be the top choice.

To the Qi Dynasty, they would rather sacrifice 100 mediocre princes like the fourteenth prince instead of losing the seventh prince.

"I'm afraid this is only the beginning." He Jin smiled bitterly.

"This time, the Qi Dynasty sent out three ultimate Primordial Soul adepts on this mission, and they were all killed. The Qi Dynasty will definitely not take this well.

"Even if they do not demonstrate this indignation directly, they will definitely feel it.

"This time, they already sent three ultimate Primordial Soul adepts… The next time, the assassins will definitely be Divine Transformation adepts.

"Donghuang… Will you consider going into hiding for a period of time?"

After speaking, He Jin could not help but suggest the option of going into hiding.

He Jin was confident that as long as the mid Divine Transformation adepts sent out by the Qi Dynasty weren't too strong, he could guarantee Zhou Donghuang's safety. In fact, he was confident even against mediocre late Divine Transformation adepts.

However, just as Zhou Donghuang had cautioned, he had to be careful not to reveal his true powers as well.

Once his powers were revealed, the fact that he had switched training methods would be revealed as well, and it would be chaotic for He Jin!

Furthermore, there were several Divine Transformation adepts of the Qi Dynasty who were definitely stronger than him. If these Divine Transformation adepts launched an attack, even the two other Divine Transformation adepts would not be able to protect Zhou Donghuang, let alone He Jin!

He felt that it would be suitable for Zhou Donghuang to go into hiding for the time being.

"Valley Head, do not worry. I have plans in mind."

Zhou Donghuang smiled casually and did not seem to be too affected by the attack from the Qi Dynasty. This time, his journey to the Guiyao planet would be his last moments spent in the Hengliu galaxy.

After his travels to the Guiyao planet, he planned to leave the Hengliu galaxy to visit other galaxies where he could steal the rare treasures that others would gain in the future, ahead of time.

Formerly, when he was at the Primal Core stage, he had made use of the memories from his past life to obtain several treasures, and they had provided many benefits to his training.

However, those items were only useful for his old practice method.

As for better treasures, with his past level of training, he was unable to obtain them.

Now, the four Dharma Powers within him had all crossed over to the Primordial Soul stage. His powers had already exceeded that of a typical Primordial Soul adept, and he was confident in using better treasures now.

At the same time, he wished to return to the Ziyun planet.

He also planned to visit Earth.

In this life, he only had a singular goal, which was to upgrade himself at the fastest speed possible in order to change the fate of all his loved ones and save his biological parents!

In his previous life, the death of his parents was one of his biggest regrets.

In this life, given the chance and opportunity, he would not let this painful scenario repeat itself.

"Donghuang, what are you planning to do on the Guiyao planet? Previously, I thought you were heading to the Guiyao planet to lure out the attacks by the Qi Dynasty and the Guangling Academy… However, now that the assassins of the Qi Dynasty are already killed and I can confirm that no members of the Guangling Academy are lurking around, why do you insist on heading for the Guiyao planet?" He Jin asked doubtfully.

"Valley Head, I'm heading to the Guiyao planet to confirm a few suspicions for myself," Zhou Donghuang said.

"Of course, if you are interested, you could accompany me in confirming these suspicions. If not, you could remain outside of the planet to train while waiting for me."

"I shall just wait outside for you."

He Jin shrugged as he did not have much interest in the Guiyao planet.

To He Jin, the Guiyao planet was merely a strange, isolated planet that was home to many beasts. However, none of these beasts had managed to cross over to the Primordial Soul stage, as if there was some kind of magical barrier preventing these beasts from doing so.

Many had been curious about this fact and had wanted to enter the Guiyao planet to investigate this matter. This included people of the Alliance as well as of the Qi Dynasty and the Guangling Academy. However, they had all done so with no answers.

Over time, the number of people still interested in this matter gradually dwindled.

Now, He Jin assumed that Zhou Donghuang was headed towards the Guiyao planet over the same matter. However, he suspected that it would not be easy to get to the bottom of things.

It was rumored that even the late Divine Transformation adepts of the Qi Dynasty and the Guangling Academy had traveled to the Guiyao planet in the past to explore its uniqueness and its secrets, but to no avail.

With such knowledge in mind, He Jin thus did not see any point in following Zhou Donghuang into the Guiyao planet and instead chose to wait outside.

"Be careful."

After speaking, He Jin regretted his words as he suddenly remembered that within the Guiyao planet, even the strongest beast was only at the ultimate Dharma stage.

Those beasts had been inferior to Zhou Donghuang even one year ago.

Within a year, Zhou Donghuang had also successfully managed to cross over to the Primordial Soul stage.

This point had been observed by He Jin long before he had agreed to follow Zhou Donghuang to the Guiyao planet, merely through the progress of Zhou Donghuang's training.

As of now, the beasts within the Guiyao planet were definitely no threat to Zhou Donghuang.

"I hope I will be satisfied with my results from the planet."

After responding to He Jin, Zhou Donghuang went forth and entered the Guiyao planet.

Now, the Guiyao planet's defense formations were not activated, and he could travel in and out of the planet with ease.

Chapter 307: Mo Ningsang

As he watched Zhou Donghuang's back become smaller and smaller, He Jin shook his head and laughed bitterly.

"This young man is really quite stubborn."

This time, before leaving the Lightning Sword Sect, when Zhou Donghuang had visited He Jin and uttered his request, Zhou Donghuang had mentioned that he believed the Qi Dynasty would send someone to kill him.

At that point, his first words had been, "You could simply greet those people of the Qi Dynasty and mention that you are an acquaintance of Liu Pingsheng. I'm sure they would not dare to touch you after knowing that."

Although Liu Pingsheng was not from the Qi Dynasty and instead was from the other Transcendental Force of the Hengliu galaxy, be it the Guangling Academy Dean or Emperor Qi of the Qi Dynasty, both saw him as a mentor and as a father figure.

If Zhou Donghuang mentioned his name, the Qi Dynasty would definitely not dare to threaten him again.

However, Zhou Donghuang rejected this notion as he did not want to owe Liu Pingsheng further.

To Zhou Donghuang, the fact that Liu Pingsheng had shared his Divine Dharma knowledge with him was already an extraordinarily heartwarming and generous gesture. He did not wish for Liu Pingsheng to offer him any more favors.

…

Upon reaching the Guiyao planet, Zhou Donghuang once again felt the unique Spirit energy of the planet. "I guess that Connate demon is still here."

Once moonlight shone down, Zhou Donghuang began to explore the Guiyao planet in search of any clues or traces of the Connate demon, and he did not leave any rock unturned. Every area was scrutinized without anything being overlooked.

Zhou Donghuang was patient, and he remained patient despite having no progress as each day went by.

This was because he knew that being impatient would lead to him missing out on tiny details, and he would then be unable to find the breeding ground of the Connate demon.

Nevertheless, this breeding ground of the Connate demon was hidden really well. After all, there were many natural guises and traditional spells that helped to conceal it. So although the Guiyao planet was extremely strange, no one from the Hengliu galaxy was able to successfully discover its secret, even after many years.

One month went by in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Donghuang still had not met with any success.

Another month went by.

Zhou Donghuang was still unsuccessful.

Three months went by to no avail.

Nevertheless, Zhou Donghuang remained as calm and as patient as before, using his Divine Will to meticulously sweep over every corner of the Guiyao planet.

Now, out of Zhou Donghuang's four Dharma Powers, two had already entered the Primordial Soul stage. This was because while he was at the Dharma stage, he had already used the Divine Soul Shaper to cultivate his Divine Will. Now, the reach of the Divine Will of his two Primordial Soul powers was much stronger and bigger than that of a typical early Primordial Soul adept.

These two channels of Divine Will went in separate directions and reached out.

"I've finally found it."

Eventually, during the fourth month of his stay on the planet, Zhou Donghuang finally managed to find a clue.

Splash!

…

Zhou Donghuang now froze before a giant waterfall in the air. The water seemed to fall from the skies, and they splashed against the mountains and rocks below. The droplets of water that bounced off managed to reach about 10 meters tall.

Zhou Donghuang's gaze was now fixated on the core of the waterfall. "In the story of the 'Journey to the West' back on Earth, the cave was hidden within the waterfall… Is it possible that it is the same here, except that the cave of this planet births more than just a monkey?"

After muttering to himself, Zhou Donghuang first shook his head amusedly at himself as he felt that he had become too obsessed with the narrative after reading too much of 'Journey to the West.'

However, now, he could confirm that the breeding ground of the Guiyao planet was definitely hidden behind this giant waterfall.

If he had not been patient and meticulous, it would have been impossible for him to find this place.

"Even if a Separating Divinity adept had been here, without patience and diligence, using pure Divine Will would not have been enough for him to find this clue… Perhaps only Immortal adepts would be able to find this place with ease."

After speaking thus far, Zhou Donghuang flew forward, and he suspended himself in the air using a layer of essential core as his shield. Carefully, he dodged the water and crossed the waterfall without getting a single drop of water on his body.

After crossing the waterfall, a giant mountain that seemed untouched lay before him.

However, once Zhou Donghuang stepped onto the mountain, where his foot landed suddenly changed from being a piece of the mountain to reveal a giant hole that was only now visible.

This hole was many meters deep and it was close to ten meters wide as well. The interior of the hole was pitch dark, and occasionally, a soft noise could be heard from within. This gave anyone who stood at the entrance chills.

Zhou Donghuang walked into the hole without any change in facial expression.

Randomly, Zhou Donghuang's palms suddenly had a gust of sparks fly up. Clearly, this was essential fire that he had created with his internal essential core, and this was used to illuminate the hole and allow Zhou Donghuang to see into the distance.

The walls of the hole were rather uneven, and they looked to be rather coarse. This was similar to that of the ground.

"I've arrived."

After reaching the end of the hole, Zhou Donghuang halted in his steps. At this moment, he could smell a strong scent coming from within, and this gave him a feeling of claustrophobia.

He knew that the Connate demon had to be within.

"I wonder what type of demon it is."

In the instant where the formation before him disappeared, Zhou Donghuang's eyes lit up, and he found himself in a giant yet brightly lit cave house. Before him, spirit weapons that looked almost real seemed to form.

Spirit energy within the cave house was unfurling from its walls, and it was clear that the source of the Spirit energy was coming directly from the various spirit stone veins on the Guiyao planet.

The Spirit energy here was unlike that of the outer world's.

"This…"

As for Zhou Donghuang, he was now mostly enthralled by the altar in the middle of the cave. More accurately, he was attracted by the items that were on the altar.

The altar was hexagonal, and there were many complicated lines and patterns on it, giving it an archaic look and somewhat reflecting the history it had been through.

On this alter, there was a crystal coffin that appeared to float above it, and the surrounding Sprit energy of the skies and the land seemed to be attracted to it. From within the crystal coffin, the Spirit energy that was emitted brought along with it the special qualities that were unique to the Guiyao planet.

Within the crystal coffin, a young lady who was dressed in pure white was lying in it, and she had a lean figure and perfect features. Her eyes were shut tightly, and Zhou Donghuang was unable to look away from her face.

"Could she be the giant Connate demon I'm searching for?"

Zhou Donghuang mused to himself. From his past life till now, this was still his first time coming across a woman with such a timeless look. She was beyond beautiful. Although her figure was rather uneven, she caused an indescribable feeling to overwhelm Zhou Donghuang.

After taking a deep breath, Zhou Donghuang could not resist it further, and he extended his Divine Will to probe the girl in an attempt to determine whether or not she was a demon.

This was a completely instinctive move.

If this girl had been a scary-looking Connate demon, Zhou Donghuang would of course refrain from using his Divine Will to probe it as that would be an extremely dangerous action to take. It would possibly awaken the Connate demon and cause it to attack him and kill him.

However, Zhou Donghuang reached out his Divine Will in a somewhat possessed manner. It was only at the moment when his Divine Will reached the crystal coffin that he had a sudden realization and regained his composure.

At the same time, the neutral expression he had been maintaining was replaced within an instant, and his eyes widened as he realized his mistake. His heart pounded. This was not good!

Within the next instant, his first instinct was to recall his Divine Will.

At the very same time, even before he could do so, he realized that within the crystal coffin, extremely strong Divine Will collided hard against his own Divine Will.

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Zhou Donghuang feared that it was all over for him.

However, within the next instant, he realized that this scary Divine Will that had emitted from within the crystal coffin had no aura of rage when it had collided with his. Instead, it was like the autumn waters, fusing perfectly with his Divine Will.

At the very same time, in Zhou Donghuang's brain, many pictures flashed by, and he managed to experience another living being's life. He saw where she had come from, her experiences and why she had ended up here, lying in a deep sleep within the crystal coffin and absorbing the Spirit energy of the Guiyao planet to maintain her own body.

Zhou Donghuang suddenly also felt as if his entire mind was being read and swept through.

"Now that I've been familiarized with her life… could she have been familiarized with my entire life, too?"

In the next moment, Zhou Donghuang's gaze landed on the lady in white lying within the crystal coffin. This lady was like a saint, having undisturbed and perfect features. Nevertheless, she was extremely hard to read.

"What do you think?"

A clear and heartwarming voice floated out in Zhou Donghuang's brain all of a sudden, giving him goosebumps.

He was the only one present in this entire, roomy cave, right?

At the very same time, Zhou Donghuang could see that the woman within the crystal coffin, who had previously been lying down, had suddenly stood up and was floating midair, staring at him with an impassive gaze.

This flawless lady in white glanced at Zhou Donghuang, "No wonder you were able to wake me up… I see now that you're someone who has transcended time. You managed to live thousands of years and then return back in time. That's rather hard to believe."

As the lady spoke, it was similar to the voice that Zhou Donghuang had just heard, clear and appealing.

However, although Zhou Donghuang could not help but admire the lady's beauty and clear voice, his facial expression darkened as well, and a cold, murderous look filled his eyes.

This was his biggest secret yet.

If anyone else were to know about it, this would be a giant threat to his safety!

"You do not need to feel threatened by me."

Although the lady's voice remained clear, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly in a smile, giving him a feeling of being swept away by a cold wind. "When you shared your memories with me, I too shared mine with you.

"For people of my type, we only receive a single change to share memories with another.

"With the rules of my tribe, the privilege of sharing memories can only be utilized with one's soulmate.

"Although it is a little hard to accept… However, I cannot go against the rules of my tribe.

"From now on, you are my man. My name is Mo Ningsang."

Just as the lady, Mo Ningsang, had spoken, Zhou Donghuang froze with that same murderous look in his eyes, and his face became numb with shock.

What nonsense did she just spout?

What did she mean when she said that he was now her man?

He had merely shared a portion of his memories with the other party… What kind of rules did the other party's tribe have?

Chapter 308: Late Primordial Soul Stage

Of course, this tribe of ladies had experienced accidents before involving sharing memories with others, in which their one opportunity was lost.

If the other party was satisfactory to them and willing to be their soulmate, then that was still considered acceptable.

However, if they were unsatisfied or the other party was unwilling, they would kill the other party without any hesitation!

Under such situations, it was most likely because they were all unsatisfied with the man whom they had shared their memories with.

"Should I be thankful that I managed to satisfy her?"

Zhou Donghuang mused bitterly to himself.

The tribe of ladies that Mo Ningsang belonged to was one that he had heard of in his past life. it was just that he had never met them before. The people of the tribe were all females, and they had a huge base. For men who were not part of the tribe, once they had children with a lady of the tribe, as long as they were girls, they would all inherit the bloodline of the tribe.

These ladies of this tribe were ideal candidates for marriage for all men within the infinite universe.

They were pale and flawless like jade, and they would only ever recognize one man as their own throughout their entire life. Once they had matched with a man, they would bring many benefits to this man and become an excellent foundation for the men to build upon for their training.

In his previous life, a few male adepts had also planned to match with the ladies of this tribe.

These men were naive and assumed that they could forcefully match with the ladies of this tribe. However, before they could even attempt to do so, the ladies would choose to self-detonate their Primordial Soul power to maintain their purity, and both the man and woman would thus die together.

Those who were smarter would openly chase the ladies of the tribe and date normally before matching together.

Of course, the ladies of this tribe were extremely picky as well.

When picking their soulmates, they would not pick any mediocre men as they had to think for themselves and their children as well.

Just as it was now.

Zhou Donghuang did not think that his experience was what had satisfied the lady before him.

The thing that had satisfied her had to be the memories that he had shared with her, where she had probably seen his future achievements.

Since his memories originated from thousands of years ago, these years of memories made him stand out. Furthermore, in the past, he was at the ultimate Immortal stage. In this new life, he would probably better himself and expand beyond that stage.

"Divine Soul Shaper…"

At the same time, the lady, Mo Ningsang, cast a deep gaze upon Zhou Donghuang. "My man, as long as you do not give up or slack off along the way, in the future, you will definitely become a god… I am also rather interested in a few things in your memories, and they can suitably become the betrothal gift you offer me when we get married.

"As for the dowry, I shall not be stingy as well, and I will provide something beforehand."

Just as Mo Ningsang had spoken, the Spirit energy in the air became extremely volatile, and this volatility continued to grow… Simultaneously, at the corners of the Guiyao planet, the Spirit energy in the air became active as well.

The movement of the inner Spirit energy of the Guiyao planet caused the beasts within to run amok. At this point, some of the tame beasts even started violently attacking each other.

"What's happening?"

The Spirit energy's unusual movement was noticed by He Jin as well, even though he was situated in the skies outside of the Guiyao planet. He immediately entered the Guiyao planet, and he realized that the inner, active Spirit energy of the planet was moving in a certain direction.

"Could it be that Zhou Donghuang really managed to find out the source of the active Spirit energy on this planet?

"Is he the one causing this unusual sight?"

Even though He Jin was rather frightened, he was curious towards this matter and thus followed the direction the Spirit energy was moving towards and quickly arrived at the giant waterfall, the entrance of the cave.

However, He Jin was unaware that there was a hole behind the fountain. This was because the Spirit energy that accumulated from all directions had entered this place from the various mountains and valleys that surrounded this giant waterfall. He Jin could only ascertain that there had to be something special hidden among this piece of nature surrounding the waterfall.

"Hm?"

Just as He Jin had activated his Divine Will towards a mountain valley to explore it, he somehow sensed something and first froze before his face changed.

This was because an extremely strong gust of essential core had unfurled from within the mountain valley like a giant, violent thunderstorm. This scared him so much that he immediately recalled his Divine Will.

Boom!

Crash!

…

He Jin took to the skies as he heard this loud noise sound out. At the same time, he sensed that there was a strong yet invisible force surrounding him and pinning him down. No matter how much he struggled, he could not adjust his inner essential core.

His essential core was completely trapped.

"What a strong force!"

He Jin's nostrils flared as he panicked, and an expression of shock appeared on his face. "Even an ultimate Divine Transformation adept would probably not have the powers that I have!

"This force has managed to suppress me!

"Although I am only at the early Divine Transformation stage, my powers are stronger than that of any average mid Divine Transformation adept!"

He Jin was shocked, and he was feeling rather frightened as well.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, He Jin's facial expression changed once again. "Oh no! Donghuang could be trapped inside!"

He Jin was extremely aware of the reason why Zhou Donghuang had wanted to make this journey to the Guiyao planet.

Now, this strange sight before him made him guess that Zhou Donghuang most likely had something to do with it.

Because of this, he guessed that all this was controlled or influenced by Zhou Donghuang. The fact that Zhou Donghuang could possibly be in danger made He Jin anxious.

It was true that he had only known Zhou Donghuang for an extremely short period.

However, Zhou Donghuang's appearance had allowed him and his daughter's lives to be improved tremendously in all aspects.

He was forever grateful to Zhou Donghuang for this.

Today, he did not wish to watch helplessly as Zhou Donghuang was in trouble.

He wanted to enter the waterfall to explore the situation within, which would allow him a chance to save Zhou Donghuang. However, the force that seemed to surround him from all directions greatly limited his movements, and he was trapped. The fact that he was still able to float in the air was also because of this force that was propping him up.

His own powers were completely frozen, and it was hard for him to take any action at all.

…

"The man that came with you, He Jin, is standing outside," within the cave, Mo Ningsang said to Zhou Donghuang.

"It is lucky that I managed to access your memories just now. Otherwise, if I had sensed someone like him approaching, even before he could come close, I would immediately kill him!"

"Valley Head?"

Upon hearing Mo Ningsang's words, Zhou Donghuang first froze before he regained his composure and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, the chaos that Mo Ningsang was creating was extremely violent, and the entire Guiyao planet's Spirit energy was affected. This situation would of course have attracted the attention of He Jin, who was near the Guiyao planet.

With He Jin's personality, it was unlikely that he would abandon Zhou Donghuang in his time of need.

"Alright, moving on, sit cross-legged and focus on transferring the Lord of the Four Supremes."

Mo Ningsang spoke once again.

Wordlessly, Zhou Donghuang sat down obediently and began to transfer the Lord of the Four Supremes. He had already shared his memories with Mo Ningsang, and the fact that the other party knew his secrets was not surprising at all.

Of course, it still felt rather strange.

However, he also knew that he was helpless in this situation.

If he was stronger than Mo Ningsang, he could possibly kill Mo Ningsang to prevent anyone from finding out about his secret.

The issue was that Mo Ningsang was above the Divine Transformation stage; she was a Separating Divinity adept.

Anyone at the Separating Divinity stage would be stronger than the entire Hengliu galaxy; they would be able to triumph over all. Even if the two Transcendental Forces of the Hengliu galaxy joined forces, they would not be able to go against a Separating Divinity adept.

Of course, Zhou Donghuang was no match for her as well.

In that case, even though the sensation of having his mind accessed by someone else felt strange, Zhou Donghuang could not do anything about it.

"How should I settle this matter, all I can do is wait it out… Now, I have to concentrate on staying alive first," Zhou Donghuang mused bitterly to himself.

Being weak still disadvantaged him at the end of the day.

All that was happening now was all directed by Mo Ningsang. Even if Mo Ningsang wanted to kill him, he would be defenseless.

As he was training, Zhou Donghuang could sense that waves of steady liquid Spirit energy were flowing into his body. As the Lord of the Four Supremes was being transferred out of him, from here on out, his training quality would probably be boosted.

This was a strong and helpful boost at that.

Time passed, to which the exact amount was unknown to Zhou Donghuang.

He realized that his two Dharma Powers that had not entered the Primordial Soul yet had now both done so.

Now, the four early Primordial Soul powers of his continued to evolve.

One by one, the Primordial Soul powers crossed over to the mid Primordial Soul stage.

Next… the late Primordial Soul stage.

Mo Ningsang only stopped accessing Zhou Donghuang's body with the external Spirit energy after his four Primordial Soul powers had crossed over into the late Primordial Soul stage.

It was accurate to say that the gathered Spirit energy here was now mostly depleted.

Zhou Donghuang opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Mo Ningsang's flawless and beautiful face. At this point, her face was drenched with sweat, and it was not hard to guess that her energy had been depleted as well.

Seeing this, Zhou Donghuang could not help but feel a twinge in his heart.

Furthermore, he felt gratitude towards her as well.

"You need not feel this way."

Zhou Donghuang smiled bitterly. "If I wanted to achieve this, I would require a lot of time… Your efforts and essential core, as well as the disruption of the Spirit energy on the Guiyao planet, made you tired!

"I'm afraid that for the next year and a half, you will be in a weakened state. Now, even any normal Separating Divinity adept will be able to kill you."

At the start, Zhou Donghuang was unsure as to what Mo Ningsang wanted to do. But now, after experiencing it firsthand as well as using Mo Ningsang's memories to guide him, he now knew what Mo Ningsang intended to do.

Mo Ningsang had used the secrets of her tribe to forcefully disrupt the Spirit energy within the Guiyao planet in order to allow him to upgrade.

This secret method could only be practiced once in their entire lives for all ladies of the tribe.

Furthermore, it would use up a lot of their energy.

"My man, after accessing your memories, I understand your desire for power, and I am only doing what I can to help you. However, I can only help you up to this point," Mo Ningsang replied calmly.

"This could also be considered part of the dowry that I intended to give you ahead of time. I anticipate the day you enter my tribe and marry me in front of everyone.

"Furthermore, as for the girl named Luo Qinghan, she is the bottom of the barrel. In the future, before your powers exceed mine, I will not allow you to have interactions with any other girls. If you do, then I will kill you!"

Once she had spoken, Mo Ningsang's pure white figure disappeared before Zhou Donghuang's eyes.

It was clear that she had taken her leave.

As for the last words that she had spoken, they caused Zhou Donghuang to feel as though a cold gust of wind had just brushed past him.

Chapter 309: Qi Feng's Murderous Intent

"These spirit drugs should be of use to you, I'll give them on to you. Now… it's time for me to go.""These spirit drugs should be of use to you, I'll give them on to you. Now… it's time for me to go."

Although Mo Ningsang had spoken one last sentence, her god-like figure had already left Zhou Donghuang's line of vision. She disappeared completely after uttering this last sentence.

"You have already accessed all of my memories, and there is no need to explain them further… I will be waiting with my tribe for you to come and marry me."

Once Mo Ningsang had left, Zhou Donghuang was still a little stunned as if he was stuck in a dream.

An instant later, after regaining his composure, he smiled bitterly to himself. "I was single in my old life, so the gods probably assumed I was lonely and placed many attractive girls in my way. First, it was Luo Qinghan, and now, it's Mo Ningsang. Such coincidences!"

At the start, Zhou Donghuang was extremely wary of Mo Ningsang accessing his memories, and he had wanted to attempt to kill her to seal her mouth. But now, he had thrown that idea out of the window for the short term.

With the situation now, it could be seen that Mo Ningsang did not have any evil intent towards him and was truly viewing him as a possible soulmate. She had used up her energy and utilized the secret of her tribe to force the disruption of Spirit energy around the Guiyao planet to enable him to upgrade himself at a breakneck speed.

"In my memories, that kind of secret can only be utilized by core and related members of the tribe… There is a limit to it, and they can only use it once in their life without it impacting them much. However, if they forcefully choose to use it twice, it will deplete their energy and affect their lifespan. Unless they are forced to, no member of the tribe would be willing to perform this secret twice."

Anyone with a conscience would not think to harm someone who had been good to them.

Now, Zhou Donghuang similarly had also diminished the thought of killing Mo Ningsang.

However, this random marriage was simply too sudden, and he was unsure as to how to react to it. Luo Qinghan alone had already caused him so much emotional turmoil, and bow he had to deal with Mo Ningsang.

If he could choose, he would rather fight someone physically than deal with matters of the heart.

"Forget it… I'll think about it when the time comes. Let's just go with the flow and let fate decide."

After he thought to this point, Zhou Donghuang had another realization.

"The late Primordial Soul stage…"

As Zhou Donghuang's mind wandered to this topic, four powerful auras unraveled from his body. Within an instant, four glorious and giant Primordial Soul Powers appeared in the skies, and each gave off potent energy.

The first Primordial Soul Power was a dragon, and it meandered in the skies. It was about ten meters long and was extremely magnificent to look at. Clearly, this was his Green Dragon Primordial Soul Power, the result of the Lord of the Four Supremes.

The second Primordial Soul Power was a flying beast, and essential core surrounded his body as if he was on fire. A fiery and intense aura emitted from him; this was Zhou Donghuang's Vermilion Bird Primordial Soul Power.

The next Primordial Soul Power was a giant tiger that was extremely fierce and fearless. It had explosive energy hidden within it; this was the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power.

Lastly, the final Primordial Soul Power was a huge creature that resembled a turtle. However, its tail was short, and it actually contained another brain like a python. This was his Black Turtle Primordial Soul Power.

"A typical Primordial Soul adept usually has two choices… One would be to create a human-based Primordial Soul Power that they liked. If not, they would have to convert their Dharma Powers to Primordial Soul Powers. As for me, through the Lord of the Four Supremes, I have no choice but to train up my four Primordial Soul Powers.

"Of course, with my Divine Will, any of my four Primordial Soul Powers can transform into a human-based Primordial Soul Power that resembles me if I wished for it."

Just as Zhou Donghuang was thinking these thoughts, in the skies, the four Primordial Soul Powers vibrated violently and quickly morphed into four human-based figures, which were carbon copies of Zhou Donghuang.

Furthermore, the aura that each Zhou Donghuang lookalike gave off was unique, and they belonged to the four different Primordial Soul Powers.

"With my abilities now… as long as one is below the Divine Transformation stage, then I will be able to kill them. I would even be able to kill some weaker adepts of the ultimate Primordial Soul stage!"

After gaining this insight, Zhou Donghuang felt that he had become more familiar with his new powers.

This could be said to be Mo Ningsang's work.

"I really owe her too much."

Zhou Donghuang sighed silently to himself before collecting his thoughts. He collected the spirit drugs that that were in a pile, which had manifested from the old Spirit energy of the cave. Mo Ningsang was right to say that these spirit drugs would be useful to him.

They were all spirit drugs that could be used to create the core drugs that Divine Transformation adepts needed.

"Valley Head is still waiting outside."

After retrieving the spirit drugs, Zhou Donghuang suddenly remembered He Jin, who had traveled to this planet with him. "Since Mo Ningsang has left, I'm assuming that Valley Head is no longer trapped and under her control."

As Zhou Donghuang flew out of the waterfall, he realized that He Jin was floating in the skies nearby, and he had on a grave expression as if he expected enemies to attack him at any moment.

He Jin's grave expression disappeared only after seeing Zhou Donghuang emerge. He asked Zhou Donghuang with a face of bewilderment, "Donghuang, you actually emerged from behind the waterfall? Is there a powerful being back there?

"Even without seeing it physically, I could sense the power coming from within. It trapped me and bound me against my will.

"Were you also hurt by it?"

Although the pressure and control over his body had since disappeared, before understanding what had happened, He Jin was still cautious and hadn't moved around much.

He had waited patiently until Zhou Donghuang had emerged.

"No."

Zhou Donghuang shook his head. "She has already left."

"Left?"

Zhou Donghuang's words caused He Jin to take a long and deep sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good…"

If he could, he would really like to avoid a repetition of the situation that had just happened.

It was lucky that the other party had had no intention to kill him. If not, he would have died a few hundred times over at this point.

"Valley Head, this time, after following you back to the Tielao planet, I plan to leave directly and not return to the sect… Do help me pass on this message to Third Senior Sister and Da Zhuang," Zhou Donghuang said to He Jin.

With his powers now, he was able to take on a lot of tasks that were impossible in the past.

In the future, he would be extremely busy.

"Noted," He Jin replied.

On the journey back, although He Jin was extremely curious as to what Zhou Donghuang had experienced back on the Guiyao planet, he did not ask. He understood that everyone had their own secrets. The fact that Zhou Donghuang had not shared anything meant that it was rather inconvenient for him to ask.

However, when Zhou Donghuang next revealed his training stage, it shocked He Jin.

"Late… late Primordial Soul stage!?"

One had to remember that when they had arrived here, Zhou Donghuang was only an early Primordial Soul adept. Only a short period of time had passed, and yet, he had managed to enter the late Primordial Soul stage!?

"It seems as though the large amount of lost Spirit energy on the Guiyao planet was probably related to Zhou Donghuang's upgrading of powers… That powerful being at the Separating Divinity stage most likely took action and helped Zhou Donghuang out."

Now, it was not hard for He Jin to guess this point as under normal circumstances, no matter how ingenious and talented Zhou Donghuang was, it would be impossible for him to surpass two stages at the same time.

After returning to the Tielao planet, where the Lightning Sword Sect was located, and bidding farewell to He Jin, Zhou Donghuang went to the galaxy teleporter within the Lightning Sword Sect's land and used it to take his leave.

Just as Zhou Donghuang was leaving, a figure appeared near the galaxy teleporter.

"It seems as though Zhou Donghuang did not die… This means that Seventh Prince's guess was correct, and our three assassins failed in their mission!

"However… With He Jin's powers alone, how was it possible that he could attack the three assassins?"

The scene of Zhou Donghuang and He Jin arriving at the sect was seen by this figure as well. He knew that He Jin had traveled out with Zhou Donghuang and that the loss of the three assassins of the Qi Dynasty was most likely due to this duo.

However, He Jin's powers now seemed suspicious.

"Forget it, I won't trouble myself over this matter… After all, I am simply a messenger! I'll just report my findings to Seventh Prince."

…

On a faraway planet, the seventh prince of the Qi Dynasty was anxiously waiting for any updates.

Chu Weimo and his two companions were in pursuit of the Lightning Sword Sect disciple, Zhou Donghuang, and had not yet returned. The seventh prince had sensed that something was probably amiss, so he had sent out a second spy to the Lightning Sword Sect and tasked him with following Zhou Donghuang's movements carefully.

"Seventh Prince." Outside, a voice sounded out.

"The spy from the Lightning Sword Sect is here with news."

"Finally, some updates."

Although Qi Feng had on an uncertain expression, he felt more concern in his heart. Nevertheless, he walked out to hear the news personally.

After hearing the report by the spy, although he had been somewhat prepared for bad news, he could not help but freeze in shock.

"Zhou Donghuang managed to escape completely unscathed? Furthermore, he returned to the Lightning Sword Sect with the Autumn Valley Head, He Jin?"

He had never imagined that such an ending would be possible.

If it had been the combined counter-attack of the two Divine Transformation adepts of the Lightning Sword Sect, such an ending would be more probable.

But He Jin?

This Autumn Valley Head of the Lightning Sword Sect had never really been significant in Qi Feng's eyes.

In the Hengliu galaxy, those who had not entered the Divine Transformation stage were all not worthy of Qi Feng's attention.

"Have the other two Divine Transformation adepts of the Lightning Sword Sect left the grounds of the sect?" Qi Feng asked in a low voice.

"According to my spies, from the time Zhou Donghuang left the Lightning Sword Sect until he returned, the two Divine Transformation adepts had not left the sect at all," thy spy came forth reported.

Hearing this, Qi Feng was silent for a long time before the corners of his mouth turned up, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "Interesting, interesting… It seems as though the Autumn Valley Head of the Lightning Sword Sect, He Jin, might have entered the Divine Transformation stage.

"Even so… With our planned ambush, it is difficult to imagine how he managed to kill the trio from our Qi Dynasty.

"Unless, he had external help. However, that is extremely unlikely," Qi Feng uttered his suspicions out loud.

"Seventh Prince."

At this point, the spy spoke again. "I've received news on the destination Zhou Donghuang was headed for when he utilized the galaxy teleporter not long ago."

"That's not a concern of ours." Qi Feng returned to his neutral expression and spoke casually.

"As long as he is not stupid, he would first choose to go to any random place to take a stroll and conceal his true destination before making his way to where he truly intended to go… Furthermore, even if he really went to the place shown by the galaxy teleporter, finding him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Nevertheless, we cannot simply let this incident go.

"We shall first kill He Jin. That may lure Zhou Donghuang out of hiding as it would be on his conscience to not save his own Valley Head."

Chapter 310: Divine Beast Cub

Zhou Donghuang was actually unaware that his appearance in the Hengliu galaxy in this life had caused many other peoples' lives and fates to change drastically.

Not only did his presence affect those around him, including the people of the Autumn Valley, the Lightning Sword Sect, as well as several members of the Qi Dynasty, but these people now had a completely new direction in life.

All their fates were changing simultaneously.

Zhou Donghuang had traveled back 1000 years, after all. Like a butterfly, he had flown into a time period that had had its own course and direction. Although he was weak, from the time he was young until now, he had still managed to cause quite a bit of change in this time period and in this dimension.

Truth be told, ten years ago, such changes had started on the Ziyun planet.

Many peoples' fates had already been intertwined with his, and thus, as he went through changes in his life, others followed suit and began to experience changes as well.

"As far as I can remember… In my past life, the divine beast cub that was accidentally killed in the war between several galaxies and planets that were fighting for it had appeared where I am now. I need to go and find it before this war happens."

After leaving the Tielao planet of the Hengliu galaxy, Zhou Donghuang did not directly head for his intended destination, which was where he was now, the Yetang planet of the Xuanting galaxy.

He had first randomly selected a destination and was sent to a random planet in another galaxy before arriving here.

This time, he was headed here for one reason alone: the divine beast cub!

The divine beast was actually one type of beast, but it had one of the most esteemed bloodlines of all the beasts. According to folklore and rumors, its memories could be inherited and passed down to future generations. This meant that given enough time, the divine beasts would eventually be able to evolve into divine creatures and enter the Divine Realm.

In its realm, the divine beast was the most powerful, and no others were a match for them.

It was also rumored that in the past, there were legendary humans who managed to fight divine beasts. However, now, this was impossible.

In his past life, Zhou Donghuang did not know the difference between ancient human adepts and the current, more modern human adepts. However, he was aware of this difference now after he had met Liu Pingsheng. The people of the past had trained using ancient methods, such as the Lord of Four Supremes, which was an ancient method that he now used.

"With the Lord of Four Supremes, I should still be able to fight with divine beasts in my realm."

This time, Zhou Donghuang had traveled to the Yetang planet to find a divine beast cub.

In his past life, he had also similarly participated in a fight over a divine beast cub.

Of course, at that time, he was more of a bystander watching the fight rather than participating in it.

This was because he was not strong enough at that time, and he was no match for the other powerful humans. He could only watch the fight with other non-affiliated practitioners, and he personally witnessed how great powers fought over the divine beast cub and accidentally killed it in the process.

"That divine beast cub looks like a dog, and it doesn't seem too impressive… In fact, compared to the typical dogs on Earth, it looks quite similar to rural Chinese dogs. The only difference is that it has a horn on its head, which normal Earth dogs clearly do not have."

Of course, previously, although Zhou Donghuang had been standing a distance away from the fight, he had still clearly seen the features of the divine beast cub.

It was a dog with a single horn on its head, and it was completely black with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

As great powers were fighting over it, it had tried to escape, but instead, it was mistakenly shot to death.

The people who had accidentally shot it to death was unsurprisingly a group of angry powers who were out to kill eachother over the divine beast cub.

"This was where the fight over the divine beast cub had happened."

Now, Zhou Donghuang floated in the air above an expansive forest. This was a forest of beasts, and many beasts resided here. In his past life, he had visited this forest once, and now he had used that past memory to navigate himself back here.

"I have to do some exploring within."

The Yetang planet was a planet that had about the same amount of Spirit energy as the Tielao planet, which was where the Lightning Sword Sect was. Within the Xuanting galaxy, the Yetang planet was considered one of the less developed planets. In the past, it was only able to attract several powers to come forth due to the leaked news of a divine beast cub's presence.

The birth of a divine beast caused much chaos in the galaxy, and this auspicious event would last for many days.

Once the news had spread, the powers of each major galaxy all immediately rushed to the Yetang planet through their own galaxy teleporters. They all had only one goal in their minds—obtain this divine beast cub.

This time, Zhou Donghuang intended to find the divine beast cub before it recalled its inherited memories and was officially birthed. After that, he wanted to bring the cub to an empty and isolated place just as it started recalling its inherited memories so that it would not startle anyone else.

If not, the events of the past would repeat themselves, and the beast cub would be doomed to die again.

"Before the divine beast truly recalls its inherited memories, it is almost the same as any ordinary beast… However, normally, since this is the place where it should by right inherit the past memories, it should be residing here right now. After all, before the divine beast can inherit past memories, it is at the Connate stage."

Once beasts entered the Primal Core stage, they would be able to access their inherited memories.

At that point, carps would become dragons, and wild chickens would become magnificent phoenixes; the inherited memories made a world of difference!

Before that point, even divine beasts themselves would perhaps assume that they were only ordinary beasts.

Now, what Zhou Donghuang wanted to do was find this divine beast cub even before it had inherited its past memories… Afterwards, using whatever method that was at his disposal, be it gentle or forceful, he had to bring this cub away.

It would be a huge help to him in the future if he had a divine beast by his side, and a divine beast which had not yet recalled its inherited memories at that!

Furthermore, if the divine beast were to grow up, it could definitely fight an entire sect or tribe without much trouble.

"The strongest beasts in this forest are most likely only at the Primordial Soul stage."

He was not afraid of beasts at the Primordial Soul stage with his current level of power.

Whoosh!

Within an instant, Zhou Donghuang's body entered the forest of beasts below him, and he followed the path within to the center.

At the start, he met with some resistance as some beasts tried to attack him.

Of course, those beasts all died by his hands, and not a single one managed to survive.

The closer he got to the center of the forest, the stronger the beasts became. Eventually, the beasts stopped blocking Zhou Donghuang's path. It was clear that the power he had shown by killing the previous beasts scared those who were lying in hiding.

For beasts, as long as they did not come from the Guiyao planet and as long as they could enter the Connate stage, most of them would have intelligence.

For those who managed to enter the Primal Core stage, they would be able to speak.

Those at the Dharma stage would be able to morph into a human form but would still have some traces of being a beast left on them. This meant that others could easily tell that it was a beast in human form and not a true human.

Once a beast has entered the Primordial Soul stage, it can perfectly morph into a human without any identifying features affecting its disguise.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As Zhou Donghuang neared the center of the forest, on the path that he was on, where there was little disruption, two figures appeared before him and blocked his path.

These two figures seemed to look human.

However, although they looked human, their brains and four limbs were not fully free of beast-like features. They were clearly not 100% human. If they had appeared on Earth, they would definitely be seen as monsters.

Clearly, these were two Dharma beasts.

"Human, leave this place now. It is not a place where you should set foot in."

One of the Dharma beasts had an eagle head, and although his two arms resembled human arms, they were conjoined to the rest of his body. He even had some scars that hinted at him having eagle wings before. This was clearly an eagle beast at the Dharma stage, and at this point, it was staring beadily at Zhou Donghuang.

"I haven't met such reckless beasts who dare to confront me in a while," Zhou Donghuang replied casually as he glanced at the two beasts before him.

Along his journey in this forest, other than the few attacks he had originally fended off, he was left alone by the rest of the beasts. Although these beasts had noticed him, they had all sensed the danger emitting off him and did not dare to provoke him.

Of course, this was partially because Zhou Donghuang had revealed some Divine Knowledge along the way.

The strength of his Divine Knowledge had conditioned the beasts to stay away from him.

Seeing as he was almost nearing the deepest part of the forest, Zhou Donghuang had retracted his Divine Knowledge with the intention of resting slightly before furthering his journey.

However, he had not expected that after retracting his Divine Knowledge, beasts would appear to stop him.

"Human, do not compare us to those weaklings you met earlier on!"

The other Dharma beast had the face of a leopard. Like the first beast, he had human arms, but these arms were covered with leopard fur. He had claws as well, which also revealed his identity as a leopard beast.

"Is that so?"

Zhou Donghuang's eyes narrowed into slits. Without any warning, he raised his palms, and in an instant, his essential core formed a giant palm that came sweeping down. It hit the leopard beast straight into the ground, and its body was completely buried.

"Wah…"

Zhou Donghuang did not have the intention to kill it, only to deliver heavy injuries to the leopard beast. When the leopard beast glanced up at Zhou Donghuang, his face was dripping with blood, and its eyes were filled with extreme fear. His voice shook slightly as he spoke, "You… you're a Primordial Soul adept!?"

Whoosh!

…

Zhou Donghuang's attack caused a violent gust of wind to appear as if the wind was howling away. The eagle beast saw the attack, which highlighted Zhou Donghuang's Primordial Soul power, and its two limbs buckled. He flew up like an arrow, clearly planning to take to the skies and escape.

However, just as it had flown up and before it could fly out of the forest, Zhou Donghuang's giant palm, which had been formed by essential core, grabbed hold of it.

"Lord, have mercy, please have mercy!"

The eagle beast's beady eyes were full of fear, and he begged Zhou Donghuang repeatedly. "We were not smart enough to sense that you were actually a Primordial Soul adept. We did not know our place! Please spare our lives on account of our ignorance!"

"Have mercy! Have mercy!"

As if he had been inspired by the eagle beast's begging, the leopard beast also looked at Zhou Donghuang with a helpless expression and began begging as well.

"Hmph!" Zhou Donghuang scoffed lightly. "If I truly wanted to kill you, would I have let you live until now?"

He was not an indiscriminate killer, whether it be towards humans or intelligent beasts.

Along his journey, he would not kill intelligent beasts unless they tried to attack him first. Even then, he would merely teach them a violent lesson.

As for the two Dharma beasts before him, since they had not attacked and him and had merely tried to block his path, he thus had no intention of killing them.

Chapter 311: Demon King

"Your Excellency."

Zhou Donghuang had generously chosen to spare them. Instead of killing them, he continued to walk towards the depths of the forest. Seeing this, the eagle beast's eyes flashed uncertainly before he spoke up to remind Zhou Donghuang of the danger within.

"There are many Primordial Soul beasts in the forest, and some are rumored to be near the Divine Transformation stage. They could almost be said to be Divine Transformation adepts. If possible, I advise you to leave while you can. Although I'm unsure as to your reasons for entering the forest, I'm assuming it's not as important as your life! It would be suicide to continue."

Upon hearing the beast's reminder, Zhou Donghuang glanced at it with a somewhat shocked look. However, without saying much, he continued on his journey.

As he walked, Zhou Donghuang muttered to himself, "Primordial Soul beasts that are nearing the Divine Transformation stage? How is that possible?

"Well, as long as they are not actually at the Divine Transformation stage yet, then with my abilities now, I will definitely be able to take them on!"

…

As Zhou Donghuang walked over and disappeared into the distance, the leopard beast, who had crawled up from the ground, glanced at the eagle beast and said coldly, "Why did you even bother giving that human a reminder? He nearly killed us both!

"Wouldn't it be a good thing if he somehow died in the forest?"

As the leopard beast spoke, his eyes were filled with a vengeful and murderous look as he recalled the human who had almost killed him just now.

"Well, he didn't kill us in the end, now did he?" The eagle beast did not seem fearful of the leopard beast and merely replied back casually.

"Think about how much time and effort you have spent training to be where you are today… If you had died just now, it would have all been lost just like that.

"The fact that he spared our lives is already something we should be extremely grateful for. Don't forget that."

Once he finished speaking, the eagle beast turned to leave, leaving the leopard beast behind who had chosen to stay put. His eyes flashed fiercely, and his face showed an intense and grave expression.

Of course, Zhou Donghuang was oblivious to all this going on.

Zhou Donghuang had now entered the depths of the forest, and he had not met with any other beasts who dared to provoke him because they were all low levels. They all ran away and did not dare to block his path. This made the already quiet environment seem even more silent.

"Hm?"

Eventually, Zhou Donghuang walked until he saw a wooden house, and he stopped in his tracks.

The wooden house was not big, and it looked rather carelessly built. However, since it had appeared out of nowhere, he was still rather curious about it."

Creak…

Just as Zhou Donghuang was observing this wooden house, the door to the house opened, and an old man wearing brownish-green robes walked out from within.

Although the old man seemed to be extremely old and had a head of white hair, he was in extremely good spirits. Once he spotted Zhou Donghuang, his casual gaze became sharp and lit up.

At the same time, he began to analyze Zhou Donghuang's surroundings, and he did not miss a single thing.

Zhou Donghuang could clearly sense that the old man was unleashing his inner Divine Will and probing the area around him as if he were searching for something.

"There's no need to search further," Zhou Donghuang glanced peacefully at the old man and said lightly.

"I'm here alone."

He could obviously tell that the old man thought he had company and so was using his Divine Will to test this theory.

Swish!

Just as Zhou Donghuang had spoken, the old man gathered up his Divine Will and focused it on Zhou Donghuang instead.

"Hmph!"

Zhou Donghuang's eyes narrowed at the hostile force of the old man's Divine Will, and it looked like a layer of frost had appeared on his face. With a snort, an even stronger gust of Divine Will was unleashed from within Zhou Donghuang, and it clashed with the old man's Divine Will.

Boom!

Two Divine Wills clashed.

Within a split second, Zhou Donghuang's Divine Will easily destroyed that of the old man, and it even created a counterattack against the old man. Instantly, the old man's faced changed to become as pale as a sheet.

His body trembled slightly before his face turned red. In the end, he could not help but spit out a huge mouthful of fresh blood.

The counterattack of Zhou Donghuang's Divine Will only attacked the soul, but still, it had caused much damage to the old man's body.

"A primordial… a late Primordial Soul adept!?"

When he looked at Zhou Donghuang, the old man's face was full of shock and disbelief as if he had seen a ghost.

This young man was actually a late Primordial Soul adept?

"Bring me to meet the Demon King."

Zhou Donghuang did not care much for the old man's shock and spoke again.

In places where demons gathered, there would most likely be a Demon King.

In the past, when Zhou Donghuang met Big Gold and Little Gold on the Ziyun planet, they were the kings of the Lost Forest.

The old man before him was a demon at the Primordial Soul stage and was able to take on a human form. It was clear that he was probably able to battle the strongest demon in this forest to be able to live and stay here.

If not, he would either be hunted or killed.

At this point, the old man's attitude towards Zhou Donghuang took on a 180-degree turn, and he became much more docile. "Yes, Your Excellency."

To him, such a human definitely had good backing. It was thus possible that the "king" of this forest could also be no match for him. After all, he had not been able to resist Zhou Donghuang's strength.

The old man thus had no choice but to obey Zhou Donghuang.

The old man led Zhou Donghuang on his way. Before they had gone too far, someone once again blocked their path.

This was a middle-aged man who had a big build.

Zhou Donghuang glanced at this middle-aged man and realized that he was indeed big, even bigger than Da Zhuang. With wide eyes, he glared at the old man who was leading Zhou Donghuang away and growled angrily. "You old fox, you dare bring a human in to invade my territory!? Do you think that I'll leave you alone just because the Demon King favors you? In your dreams!"

Just as he had spoken, the tall middle-aged man unleashed his essential core and created a big and solid-looking great ape. It stood tall and proud like a mountain, looking glorious.

This was not a Dharma Power but rather a Primordial Soul Power.

This solid-looking great ape was erect like a mountain and looked like a veteran proudly fighting in battle.

Clearly, this Primordial Soul demon in the form of a middle-aged man was actually a great ape.

"Mid Primordial Soul stage."

This Primordial Soul beast's powers were clearly stronger than the old man's. The old man was only at the early Primordial Soul stage, but this beast was actually at the mid Primordial Soul stage.

"What a fool."

Faced with this threat, the old man merely looked the middle-aged man in the eye and said, "How dare you! You had best apologize to this man over here. If you anger him, he could easily blow your head off!"

"What did you say!?"

Once the middle-aged man heard the old man's words, he froze before flying into a rage. His originally violent glare turned even more intense, and anger visibly radiated off him.

"He is merely a small human. I could kill him with one palm just like I do with mosquitoes! He is nothing compared to me!"

The old man's emotions seemed to have intensified with the old man's words. After shouting aloud, he quickly changed into his great ape form and upgraded his Great Ape Primordial Soul Power to become stronger.

"Roar!"

With a loud growl, the great ape raised its hands and, as promised, used a palm to strike Zhou Donghuang.

This slap was fierce and violent, aiming directly for Zhou Donghuang's head.

Seeing this, the old man felt uneasy in his heart.

Faced with this attack by the great ape, Zhou Donghuang did not flinch at all. Just as the great ape's palm was about to land on his head, the essential core within him was then unleashed in one go like a giant wave.

A huge and solid figure appeared and almost instantly took to the skies of the forest, enlarging itself in the process.

This was clearly a giant tiger.

The Great Ape Primordial Soul Power used its palm to slap Zhou Donghuang's White Tiger Primordial Soul Power. The area surrounding these two Primordial Soul Powers immediately trembled with their force. The white tiger growled ferociously and unleashed a terrifying amount of essential core. Instantly, it was able to easily defeat the great ape.

It did not take long at all.

The moment the great ape was defeated, the middle-aged man's figure once again appeared. However, this time, he collapsed to the ground with a thud. When he looked up at Zhou Donghuang, his eyes were filled with fear. "A beast at the ultimate Primordial Soul stage!?"

Whoosh!

At the same time, the middle-aged man's figure began to fade out, and it was replaced by a giant black ape that was more than 10 meters tall. On the great ape's head, there was a tuft of silvery-white hair that was extremely eye-catching.

At this point, the look that the great ape gave Zhou Donghuang was one full of fright.

"He is not a beast; he is just a human."

A voice that was full of vigor and strength rang out, and out of nowhere, another figure had silently appeared at the scene.

Of course, Zhou Donghuang was aware of the arrival of this figure for some time now, unlike the great ape and the old man.

"Your Excellency."

Seeing the arrival of this figure, the sly and triumphant look in the old man's eyes disappeared and was replaced by a look of awe. He then kneeled to the ground entirely, and he even pressed his face to the ground as well.

"Your Excellency."

"Your Excellency."

…

Other human-based figures who had arrived at the scene also followed suit and knelt to the ground out of respect for the figure floating in the sky.

Out of these people, there was a teenage boy, a young girl, an old woman and a pretty woman.

"Your Excellency, didn't you say that he was a king? But… his Primordial Soul Power is a beast! How can that be?" the injured giant ape cried out with some level of disbelief.

"A human is also able to have a beast Primordial Soul Power. But the human must first be very talented."

In the skies, a middle-aged man who was wearing long silver robes held a folding fan in his hand. He had on an elegant yet strict look on his face, and he looked at the giant ape with indifference before speaking unhurriedly.

"I've let you down, Your Excellency."

The great ape struggled to kneel. His body was damaged from his fight with Zhou Donghuang; he was weak and trembling. Nevertheless, he forced himself to kneel and ignored the fresh blood dripping from his body.

At the same time, the gaze in the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly turned cold, and it landed on the old man, who had been leading the way for Zhou Donghuang. He casually said, "Did you plan to use this man to kill Fang Yuan?

"Are you overlooking the rules that I've set? Or perhaps… You do not care much for the words that I've said?"

The tone that the silver-robed, middle-aged man used was enough to make anyone feel instant regret.

"Your Excellency, I've… I've made a huge mistake."

The old man, who was kneeling on the ground, shook visibly from his fear, and even his voice trembled as he spoke.

Chapter 312: Single-Horned Little Black Dog

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

"Since you were wrong, you have to pay the consequences."

When the silver-robed, middle-aged man spoke up next, his voice was fully devoid of emotion. Because of this, his words scared the old man till his eyes fluttered and his expression changed greatly.

In the next instant…

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

…

The old man continuously kowtowed, and blood flowed all over the floor. It was almost as if he did not know he was bleeding out! He did not appear to be stopping anytime soon, and he even continued to do so with greater speed.

"Hmph!"

The middle-aged man in the silver robes scoffed aloud. The old man, who was previously kowtowing on the floor, suddenly jerked violently, and he slumped over without a second opinion.

The instant he fell to the ground, the old man disappeared, and he was replaced by a large, greenish-grey fox.

This was not a normal fox as its body was much bigger than that of normal wolves. On the large fox's head, there was also a tuft of white hair, and this was said to be a scar left behind from its earlier days.

It was clear that this large fox was quite old.

With the death of the fox beast, the remaining on looking beasts all turned away, except for the giant ape beast. When they looked at the middle-aged man in silver robes, their eyes were filled with even more respect and awe.

"Human, you can go."

When the silver-robed, middle-aged man looked at Zhou Donghuang, it was with a cold expression. He used an even tone that did not reveal any emotion.

Faced with such an "invitation," Zhou Donghuang did not take any action immediately. He merely looked at the middle-aged man with a peaceful gaze and said, "Are you the king of this forest?"

"Yes, I am."

The silver-robed, middle-aged man was visibly frustrated now. "Human, although your skills are not bad, if you think you can do as you please here, you are wrong. Seeing as you are of a high martial arts status, I will let you pass this time."

"I came here to find you." Zhou Donghuang's face did not change. "Before I've settled the things I'm concerned with, I will not leave."

"Human, are you trying to provoke me?"

The middle-aged man was now enraged, and his robes started trembling and shaking. Previously, his eyes were normal and human-like. However, now, they had a touch of gold in them before eventually turning completely golden.

This time, Zhou Donghuang did not say much either. The White Tiger Primordial Soul Power appeared again, and it stared beadily at the silver-robed, middle-aged man.

Once the middle-aged man's face darkened, the beasts surrounding him who could turn into human forms all spread out, and they closely surrounded Zhou Donghuang. The looks that they all gave Zhou Donghuang were full of extreme fear.

Although they had just appeared, the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power that Zhou Donghuang was now using made them feel uneasy, as if their own souls were somehow being trapped.

As for the middle-aged man in silver robes, his face had on an extremely nasty expression.

A big battle was to ensue.

"What did you want to find me for?"

In the end, they did not fight physically.

The silver-robed, middle-aged man glanced at the breathless giant ape before looking at Zhou Donghuang's confident figure and stance. In the end, he did not take any action, and his eyes had on a look of fear as well.

Seeing this, the surrounding beasts that had entrapped Zhou Donghuang all breathed a sigh of relief.

If they had a choice, they were all unwilling to make the human youth before them an enemy. The beasts had a gut feeling that caused them to be extremely fearful of the human youth before them.

The feeling that this young man had given them was not because his Primordial Soul Power was unique. It was as if his inner body was hiding some other form of power that caused the on looking beasts to feel uneasy.

In truth, the silver-robed, middle-aged man, the Demon King of this entire forest, who was in human form, had figured this out as well.

"I would to ask you for a favor," Zhou Donghuang replied without beating around the bush.

"A favor?"

The middle-aged man furrowed his brows. "Your powers are not weak. If there's something you cannot settle, I'm sure I would not be able to take care of it either."

If he had known that this young man was weak, he would have had more confidence in killing him.

He had personally witnessed this human take action and injure the giant ape under him. The young man's Primordial Soul Power was extremely strong, even though it was only at the late Primordial Soul stage. The power the young man had unleashed was comparable to that of his own ultimate Primordial Stage Power, and it gave him a strong feeling of being trapped. His soul had felt suffocated.

Due to that incident, he had felt much fear towards this young man, and he was not confident in defeating him, even if he took action against the young man.

"I'm not asking for you to help in killing something." Zhou Donghuang shook his head.

"I came to find you because I would like you to use the beasts under you to help me find a small demon."

"A small demon?"

Upon hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief before following up with another question, "What kind of small demon are you looking for?"

"A dog."

As Zhou Donghuang spoke, he began to vividly describe the divine beast cub that he remembered from his past life. As long as he shared the specific characteristics of this divine beast cub, with the influence that this Demon King had among the demons of the forest, it would be easy to find it.

After describing the characteristics of this divine beast cub, Zhou Donghuang spoke again.

"If you help me with this favor, I will not be ungrateful. I will help you enter the Divine Transformation stage."

Zhou Donghuang's first sentence did not affect the Demon King much. However, after hearing the second sentence that Zhou Donghuang had uttered, the middle-aged man's eyes immediately narrowed, and his face had on an expression of shock. "What? Do you mean to say that you can help me enter the Divine Transformation stage?

"Are you speaking the truth?"

Normally, under typical circumstances, he would not believe such words of a young, human man.

However, the young man standing before him gave him a feeling of wisdom and importance. The Primordial Soul Power that the young man had trained was not only a Primordial Soul beast, but it could also affect and influence his own soul, causing it to feel trapped. That sort of feeling was comparable to when he stood before demons that were at a training stage much higher than his.

"If my assumption is right… You have crossed over to the ultimate Primordial Soul stage for many years, but you have been unable to cross the last obstacle to get to the next training stage."

Zhou Donghuang spoke once again, "This is all because there is an issue with the way you train."

"With your body type and well as the tribe you come from, normally, the strongest you can be is only an ultimate Primordial Soul adapt. Also, the oxygen flow in your body is complicated, it's not smooth. You probably used some human-based training methods and damaged your body in the process to try and enter the Divine Transformation stage… am I right?"

At the end of his speech, Zhou Donghuang looked deeply at the Demon King before him.

Although he had not used his Divine Will on the other party, the other party's volatile essential core and aura made his observations easy to infer.

Such situations were common for many demons that he had met in his past life, and they had all suffered from the same issues, just as what he had described.

Zhou Donghuang had a solution prepared for this.

As for the Demon King's face, even before Zhou Donghuang had finished speaking, it had already changed completely.

This was because the other party was right!

Furthermore, he was the only one aware of his own issues.

"Your Excellency, please help me!"

The silver-robed, middle-aged man begged Zhou Donghuang with a look of gratitude. Because of this, his body also trembled slightly. His voice shook as well as he used a tone of awe and respect.

One had to know that if he did not cross over to the Divine Transformation stage, after a few more decades, he would reach the end of his life.

Faced with this, he was extremely frustrated because he had not found a solution for it.

But this young man before him had given him hope again!

Zhou Donghuang glanced at the middle-aged man indifferently before saying, "I stand by what I say… As long as you activate the demons under you and help me find that little demon, I will immediately help you cross over to the Divine Transformation stage."

"Your Excellency, I'll give the order right away."

Now, in light of Zhou Donghuang being a potential life saver, the middle-aged man nodded wildly. Without any hesitation, he turned to look at the tens of demons before him. "All of you heard what Your Excellency just said, right? Immediately spread the message and hunt for this little demon!"

After the demons had acknowledged his order and left, the Demon King turned to glance at Zhou Donghuang again. "Your Excellency, do wait for a while… I will go give the order to my other followers as well."

The Demon King was in control of the entire forest.

Now, all the demons within the forest served him and were loyal to him.

Those who were unwilling to be led by him were killed long ago.

Not only the human world respected the strong. The demon world was similar, just as the universe and divine world were!

Not long later, the Demon King returned. "Your Excellency, my quarters can be said to be respectably clean. In the next few days, please use it as a rest stop!

"I can guarantee that as long as the little demon lives within my forest, within a maximum of three days, it can be found and brought to you."

Faced with the Demon King's courtesy, Zhou Donghuang was not surprised at all.

This was because he could tell that the Demon King's days were numbered.

Furthermore, it was only under such pressing circumstances that a demon would choose to switch to human-based training styles in hopes of crossing over to the next training stage… However, humans and demons were inherently different.

Human methods of training could be borrowed, but the number of demons who had successfully utilized them were few and far and in between.

Furthermore, for those demons, most were the most outstanding members of their tribe.

As long as they were able to develop themselves as they grew, they would become leaders.

The Demon King's living quarters were located at the center of the forest. There were four lakes there and a courtyard that looked like a human home. This courtyard was situated right in the middle of the four lakes, and the roads along this piece of land had many trees growing alongside them.

It could be inferred that the Demon King had good taste and had adapted a human version of decoration.

The Demon King gave up his quarters to Zhou Donghuang, and he personally set out to the corners of the forest to find the little demon that Zhou Donghuang was looking for.

Within an instant, all the demons in the forest who were intelligent enough were all activated, and the entire forest was put to work. Many little demons also started to run around because of this hunt.

…

Two days later:

The Demon King once again appeared before Zhou Donghuang.

"Your Excellency, we got lucky!"

At this very instant, a purely black dog the color of ink was sleeping soundly on the slender shoulders of the Demon King.

On top of this black dog's head, a small horn stuck out, and this gave him an oddly shaped head.

"It's him!"

Zhou Donghuang's attention was already on the single-horned little dog once the Demon King had appeared. Although it was smaller than he had remembered from his past life and his horn was smaller than before, Zhou Donghuang recognized it in an instant.

This was the divine beast cub that he had been looking for!

Chapter 313: The Lightning Sword Sect's in Trouble!?

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

"Woof!"

Seeing as the Demon King was about to pass him over to the person before them, the black puppy was visibly frightened. Although it had not inherited its memories yet, it was at the early Connate stage and was intelligent enough to sense that the person before them was not a demon.

In the eyes of a demon, humans were aliens.

Although the person carrying it was in human form, his body gave off the aura of a demon, and so he felt safe.

"Little guy."

Seeing as the black puppy was prejudiced against the human before them, the Demon King spoke up gently, using demon language to comfort it.

"Although I'm not sure why this human wants you, he is an extremely talented man. If you follow him, you will receive benefits and not come to harm."

"No… I do not want to follow a human!"

The black puppy panicked. "Humans are all evil; they are the natural enemies of the demons. Some of my friends were killed by humans."

This time, even before the Demon King could speak, Zhou Donghuang spoke up, "It is very normal for demons to be killed by humans… Do not forget that demons kill other demons as well."

Zhou Donghuang spoke up using demon language as well.

"Your Excellency, you…"

The Demon King stared at Zhou Donghuang in shock as he had not imagined that the other party could speak their language.

As long as humans were willing to, they could learn the demon language through a demon. However, that required not just effort but also the natural ability to learn languages, and there were very few humans who were willing to do so.

Because of that, to the Demon King, the number of humans who knew the demon language was very low. From the time he was born till now, he had not met a human who could speak it fluently.

"Follow me, and not only will I not kill you, but I will even provide you with core drugs for you to upgrade your training stage."

1

Zhou Donghuang glanced at the black puppy and took out a bottle of core drugs from his space ring. "These core drugs can be used by both humans and demons at the Connate stage, and they will greatly help you in your training."

"I want this! I want this!"

As for the black puppy, upon hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, it shot forward like a bolt of lightning and rushed towards the core drugs in Zhou Donghuang's outstretched palm with its mouth wide open.

However, Zhou Donghuang stretched out his other hand, holding off the black puppy and causing it to retreat in disappointment.

Zhou Donghuang then casually threw the black puppy on the ground and said lightly, "Since you are not willing to follow me, you can stay here."

At the same time, he glanced at the Demon King again, "Even though the puppy is not willing to follow me, I will still fulfill the promise I made to you… In the next few days, I will try my best to help you enter the Divine Transformation stage."

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

The Demon King had on an extremely grateful expression and thanked Zhou Donghuang repeatedly. Afterward, he glanced at the black puppy on the floor, who had on a mournful expression, and gave it a reminder.

"Little fellow, if you can follow that human, you will have good luck. Treasure this opportunity."

Over the next few days, Zhou Donghuang helped the Demon King to adjust the essential core within his body, which had become abnormal due to him using all sorts of human methods to train. This process took three whole days.

At the same time, Zhou Donghuang passed on a method of crossing over to the Divine Transformation stage for demons to him. "With this method and with your situation now, you will become a Divine Transformation adept within three months at most!"

"Your Excellency, if you have any requests in the future, please feel free to find me. I will do all I can to help you!"

Before Zhou Donghuang left, the Demon King bowed to him and made a promise to him courteously.

"Mm." Zhou Donghuang nodded and took his leave.

As he walked away, on his shoulder sat a tamed black puppy. This was the exact same black puppy as before, the divine beast cub that he had used core drugs to try to entice and tame.

Of course, the black puppy was not aware that it was a divine beast.

"Boss, where should we go now?" the black puppy asked Zhou Donghuang with narrowed eyes.

Over the past few days, Zhou Donghuang had used core drugs to buy over the black puppy, and it had thrown away all customs and habits of a typical demon. Now, it was used to calling Zhou Donghuang "boss" and took on the role of a junior.

"We are going to another planet in another galaxy," Zhou Donghuang said.

Zhou Donghuang had already made preparations for the path that he had to take next.

Using his memories from his past life, he wanted to visit the places where Divine Transformation adepts had left behind their inheritances so that he could collect them. He would then find an isolated place where he could groom the black puppy until it reached the Primal Core stage.

When he had first met the black puppy, it was only an early Connate adept.

Now, within a few days, it had crossed over to the mid Connate stage.

If it continued to follow Zhou Donghuang and eat core drugs, this black puppy would quickly reach the Primal Core stage where it could then inherit its memories… At that point, a miraculous event would happen.

In Zhou Donghuang's previous life, the black puppy had created a similar miraculous event after it had inherited its memories, and that was the reason why many strongmen of various galaxies had wanted to snatch it away.

In this life, with Zhou Donghuang's intervention, the black dog's life now met with a very drastic change.

At the very least, the time it took to enter the Primal Core stage was now greatly lessened.

Afterward, with Zhou Donghuang paving the way for it, after the black dog became a divine beast, it would naturally not startle anyone else. It could safely pass over the most dangerous stage of growth of an orphaned divine beast's life.

"Orphaned divine beasts," this title referred to the orphans within divine beasts who did not have parents by their side to protect them.

No one would dare touch a divine beast cub who had parents or loved ones by their side to protect them, even if the cub were to inherit their memories and create a miraculous event.

In any case, for demons who could give birth to divine beast cubs, they were definitely considered the most elite of the beasts.

They could even be divine beasts themselves or even adult divine beasts!

Adult divine beasts were at the Heavenly stage, and using their natural bodies as well as other inherited traits, early Heavenly stage divine beasts could kill humans at the ultimate Heavenly stage. They could even directly hunt Deity's Tribulation adepts.

Because of this, those from the bigger galaxies or top elite sects wouldn't dare to provoke adult divine beasts.

In the next two months, the black puppy followed Zhou Donghuang to several planets in several galaxies. It also personally witnessed Zhou Donghuang uncovering many inheritances left behind by past human adepts.

Zhou Donghuang naturally collected all these inheritances.

During this time, they met with a few obstacles. At their resting places, these human adepts had left behind a few spells and tricks to guard their inheritance. However, to Zhou Donghuang, this did not mean much, and he easily overcame all these tricks.

"Boss, how did you know about this place?"

"Boss, are all these human adepts your ancestors?"

…

As Zhou Donghuang followed his past memories to uncover one treasure after another, the black puppy following him naturally felt shocked at this progress. In the end, he was in awe of Zhou Donghuang.

Of course, within this entire process, Zhou Donghuang had gathered many rare herbs and managed to manufacture core drugs for the black puppy to consume. The black puppy's training stage thus increased at an exponential rate.

Within a short two months, he managed to cross over to the ultimate Connate stage.

It was even close to crossing over to the Primal Core stage.

"How much longer do you think you'll take?" Zhou Donghuang asked the black puppy.

Once the black puppy crossed over and inherited its memories, a miraculous event would happen, and this would be noticed by all that surrounded them.

"At most, half a month." The black puppy smiled cheekily. "Boss, I will quickly improve myself so that I can help you."

"Mm." Zhou Donghuang nodded his head. "Next, I will bring you to a planet and arrange a place for you to train… When you cross over to the Primal Core stage, I will find you."

Originally, Zhou Donghuang had wanted to find an isolated place for the black puppy to train.

In the end, however, he felt that the Guiyao planet was still the safest.

Although the spells set in place no longer worked at Mo Ningsang's previous place of rest on the Guiyao planet, using the shared memories he had with Mo Ningsang, it was easy to reactivate the spells for security.

Furthermore, once the spells were reactivated, they could provide more security than any spell he created himself.

This would be able to completely conceal the miraculous event created by the black puppy when it inherited its memories.

"Boss, could I follow you instead?"

The black puppy stared doe-eyed at Zhou Donghuang. Over the last two months, it had become reliant on Zhou Donghuang, although the latter had been strict with him.

This was because Zhou Donghuang was the first person who had treated him kindly.

Before it had met Zhou Donghuang, it had depended solely on itself. After meeting Zhou Donghuang, it became reliant on him. He was the closest thing to family, even though they had only known one another for two months.

"I've said it before, once you cross over to the Primal Core stage, I will come and get you," Zhou Donghuang replied lightly. "Of course… That is if… At that point, you are still willing to follow me.

"But if you no longer wish to, I will not force you to either."

The meaning behind Zhou Donghuang's words was only understood by him and not by the black puppy, who was now extremely confused. After all, it was still young, and it could not have dreamt that it would develop into a divine beast, which was one in a million among beasts.

"Go on now."

Zhou Donghuang stepped into the galaxy teleporter and keyed in the coordinates for the Lightning Sword Sect, which was situated on the Tielao planet in the Hengliu galaxy… But there was no response.

"What is happening?"

Zhou Donghuang froze before trying once again, but to no avail.

Instantly, Zhou Donghuang's face changed dramatically.

Normally, this situation would only occur if the galaxy teleporter at the destination was destroyed.

However, this galaxy teleporter could be said to belong to the Lightning Sword Sect of the Hengliu galaxy. Why would it be destroyed out of the blue?

Unless someone launched an attack on the Lightning Sword Sect.

Instantly, many guesses appeared in Zhou Donghuang's mind. "Could it be that the assassins of the Qi Dynasty dying incurred the wrath of Emperor Qi, who then decided to take revenge on the Lightning Sword Sect?

"Or perhaps… The catastrophe of the Lightning Sword Sect happened ahead of time?"

Either way, they were both not favorable outcomes to Zhou Donghuang.

This was because his third senior sister, He Mengxi, her father, and Da Zhuang were all still at the Lightning Sword Sect!

"The Hengliu galaxy, the Tielao planet, the Lightning Sword Sect!"

Zhou Donghuang had on a dark expression, and he changed his coordinates.

Within the next instant, the galaxy teleporter was activated, and this meant that his new destination's galaxy teleporter was active and working.

Chapter 314: Lying in Wait

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

The Tielao planet in the Hengliu galaxy.

A galaxy teleporter was situated near the Thunder Knife Sect, and this was the designated teleporter for the sect.

Near the galaxy teleporter, there was an old and wrinkled man sitting cross-legged on the floor. His eyes were shut tightly, although one was unclear as to whether he was training or meditating.

Behind the old man, a middle-aged man and teenage boy were present as well. One of them was sleeping soundly, while the other was closely observing the galaxy teleporter before him. He only blinked once in a while, as if he was afraid to miss something.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the galaxy teleporter produced a figure out nowhere like a sudden gust of wind.

The figure was a handsome young man wearing pure white clothes. On the young man's shoulder was a black puppy, and this black puppy looked like a typical stray black dog on the streets. However, if one observed this dog carefully, one would realize that this dog had a single horn on its forehead, and it looked extraordinary.

"Zhou Donghuang!"

The teenage boy who was keenly staring at the galaxy teleporter instantly narrowed his eyes as the white-clothed man appeared. He turned to the old man, who was still sitting cross-legged on the floor. With an urgent tone, he yelled, "Sir Wu Qian, it's Zhou Donghuang!"

"Hm?"

Zhou Donghuang, who had just passed through the galaxy teleporter and arrived at his destination, sensed someone watching him from afar, and he looked in this figure's direction. As he turned, he immediately heard the owner of the voice yell out, catching his attention. Zhou Donghuang began to sense that something was not right, and his face changed slightly.

Within the next instant, his entire body shook and shot into the sky like a white bolt of lightning.

At the same time, the old man who was still sitting cross-legged in the air with his eyes shut now opened his eyes. He was also holding on to a piece of jade.

Boom!

Crash!

…

Not far away, the galaxy teleporter that was originally working was instantly enveloped by a frighteningly strong force. It was fried to dust and ashes that filled the entire sky, being reduced to almost nothing. There was almost no trace left of the once huge and towering galaxy teleporter.

"That is Zhou Donghuang?" the old man glanced steely at the white figure in the distance and asked in a low voice.

"Sir Wu Qian, that's him!" the teenage boy behind the old man replied in affirmation.

As for the middle-aged man, who had at some point opened his eyes, he spoke up as well.

"Sir Wu Qian, he is the disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect's Autumn Valley, Zhou Donghuang."

"They…"

At the same time, Zhou Donghuang, who was not far away, could sense that the two figures behind the old man were familiar. After thinking carefully, he somewhat recalled meeting them before in the Lightning Sword Sect. Now that he had heard the middle-aged man speak, he knew he had not made a wrong guess. The two figures had to be people of the Lightning Sword Sect.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Donghuang glanced steely at the old man. He was suspicious of the three figures, which included two people of the Lightning Sword Sect, who had been lying in wait for him here.

"I am Wu Qian, a servant of the Qi Dynasty."

The old man looked passively at Zhou Donghuang as if he were staring at a dead man.

"If you could get me, Wu Qian, to lie in wait here for almost a month for you to appear, even if you die today, then that is already considered an honor."

Seconds after he had spoken, a towering Primordial Soul Power appeared behind Wu Qian, looking like a giant. This Primordial Soul Power towered above Zhou Donghuang.

"Ultimate Primordial Soul stage?"

Faced with the emergence of this Primordial Soul Power, which demonstrated that Wu Qian was an ultimate Primordial Soul adept, Zhou Donghuang appeared indifferent. His gaze turned to the two figures standing behind the old man. "Are you both disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect? Why are you both here? Did something happen to the Lightning Sword Sect?"

"Let me answer that." Before the two disciples could speak, Wu Qian had already spoken up coldly.

"The Lightning Sword Sect was exterminated a month ago by the Qi Dynasty. These two disciples are here because they were kept alive by the Qi Dynasty for them to help us identify you.

"Now, they have already helped me to identify that you are Zhou Donghuang. They are of no use to me now, and it is time for them to join the rest of the deceased members of the Lightning Sword Sect."

Once the old man had spoken, the two figures behind him both turned pale. "Sir Wu Qian, did you not promise that if we helped you identify Zhou Donghuang that you would spare our lives?"

"Sir Wu Qian, you… you cannot go back on your word!"

Just as the two figures were begging for their lives, Wu Qian had already taken action, and the giant Primordial Soul Power trapped the two like animals in a cage. With great force, it clammed down on the two, and before their reflexes could kick in, it smashed them dead!

Zhou Donghuang was nearby, and he watched this solemnly.

Faced with the death of the two betrayers, he had no sympathy for them at all.

Now, his face no longer had on his usual peaceful expression. It was dark, and his eyes glittered with rage and murderous intent… In the end, his troubling guess had been right.

The Lightning Sword Sect really had met with trouble.

Indeed, it had been the Qi Dynasty, one of the Hengliu galaxy's two Transcendental Forces, that had caused harm to the Lightning Sword Sect!

"Zhou Donghuang, thank you for choosing to appear at this galaxy teleporter near the Lightning Sword Sect… Your life is worth as much as a Divine Transformation drug! After this, if I manage to enter the Divine Transformation stage after consuming a Divine Transformation drug, I'll really have to thank you for it."

Wu Qian once again glanced at Zhou Donghuang, and this time, he smiled evilly and made his Primordial Soul Power step forward. Its giant fist reached out for Zhou Donghuang.

After hearing this, it was clear that Emperor Qi had offered up the reward of a Divine Transformation drug in return for Zhou Donghuang's head.

Divine Transformation drugs could help those who were close to crossing over to the Divine Transformation stage successfully close the gap. It was extremely precious, and even the entire Qi Dynasty only had less than five of such drugs. The fact that the Qi Dynasty was willing to use one of these five drugs as a reward for finding Zhou Donghuang meant that they greatly prioritized this matter.

"Roar!"

At almost the same time Wu Qian's Primordial Soul Power reached out to attack Zhou Donghuang, Zhou Donghuang's body also materialized a giant Primordial Soul Power behind him. This was a white tiger, and it let out a roar that shook the land and skies. This terrifying sound washed over everyone and caused waves of vibrations that forced Wu Qian's Primordial Soul Power to retreat a little.

"How can this be!?"

Once Zhou Donghuang's Primordial Soul Power appeared, it scared Wu Qian till his nostrils flared and his facial expression changed. "You… How can you be an ultimate Primordial Soul adept too!?"

"Nothing is impossible," Zhou Donghuang replied impassively.

At the same time, his White Tiger Primordial Soul Power took action and rushed towards Wu Qian's Primordial Soul Power. Wu Qian's Primordial Soul Power was unable to defend itself or back away, and the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power managed to scratch at it. Within an instant, as if a giant cage had landed and trapped Wu Qian's Primordial Soul Power, it was broken and greatly damaged.

"Wah…!"

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Wu Qian's face turned as white as a sheet of paper. His eyes and facial expression were full of shock.

"How can this be? As an ultimate Primordial Soul adept, how could you have such great powers?"

"Like I said… Nothing is impossible."

Zhou Donghuang spoke again, and his voice rang out like a gong. Within an instant, under his command, the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power took action again.

"Zhou Donghuang, spare my life! If you do so, I'm willing to become your most humble servant!"

By now, Wu Qian was badly injured, and he was unable to resist Zhou Donghuang's further attacks. Although he was doubtful, he still chose to bow down. His body trembled visibly as he spoke these beseeching words to Zhou Donghuang.

However, the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power's attack did not seem to stop.

The White Tiger Primordial Soul Power reached out a claw and hit Wu Qian to the ground, where he was forced into a bed of soil and pushed underground.

Whoosh!

The black puppy on Zhou Donghuang's shoulder shot forward and snatched up Wu Qian's space ring like a hungry gold digger. Before it left, it even took a bite of Wu Qian's corpse.

"Old fellow, with such looks, you want to act like a dog? You are an embarrassment to us, what an idiot!"

Afterwards, the black puppy returned to Zhou Donghuang's shoulder, and he coyly passed the space ring that he had collected to Zhou Donghuang. "Boss, in any case, this old man was an ultimate Primordial Soul adept. The things he stored in the space ring are probably useful for you.

"As for the items that are worthless to you, I can eat them! You can give them to me!"

After saying these words, the black puppy salivated at the thought of food.

"You can hold on to it first," Zhou Donghuang said. The black puppy excitedly put the space ring into the collar that was around its neck. More accurately, it was within an empty stone that was embedded onto the collar.

This collar had been handmade for the black puppy by Zhou Donghuang, and it was a manufactured spirit weapon. On the collar, he had attached two space stones which could be used as storage spaces for the puppy's items.

Not long after Zhou Donghuang had left with the black puppy…

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two shadows appeared at the venue where the galaxy teleporter of the Lightning Sword Sect had been destroyed. If Zhou Donghuang were here, he would immediately recognize with a single glance that one of these two figures was no ordinary man. This was the Thunder Knife Sect Leader, Luo Yuanqiu.

However, Luo Yuanqiu now glanced at the corpse buried underground with chills running down his spine.

"Who could have taken action against him… I did not expect Wu Qian of the Qi Dynasty to die such a violent death!

"Could it be that the Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, had taken action? After all, out of the three Divine Transformation adepts of the Lightning Sword Sect, only he managed to survive… Furthermore, if someone were to be able to kill Wu Qian, an ultimate Primordial Soul adept, so easily before we arrived, he would have to at least be at the Divine Transformation stage!" the old man beside Luo Yuanqiu guessed aloud.

"That's impossible!" Luo Yuanqiu shook his head.

"As far as I know, although He Jin did in fact manage to survive, he won't stay alive for long… he was poisoned by a man from the Qi Dynasty, and now he is just waiting for his death!"

This man of the Qi Dynasty was a Divine Transformation adept who specialized in using poison. He had trained himself to attack using poison and could infect any adept at the Divine Transformation stage and below.

"If this was not He Jin's doing, then who could it be?"

The old man's eyes shone with suspicion and doubt.

"I'm not sure either." Luo Yuanqiu smiled bitterly.

"However, since we have discovered that a servant of the Qi Dynasty has died here… Although it was not our doing, we had best inform the Qi Dynasty since it was us who discovered it… They can investigate this matter themselves."

Previously, before this Qi Dynasty servant had arrived at the Thunder Knife Sect's galaxy teleporter to lie in wait for Zhou Donghuang, he had first paid a visit to the Thunder Knife Sect to greet the Thunder Knife Sect Leader. He had requested for the Sect Leader to accompany him on his mission. At that point, Luo Yuanqiu did not disagree as he was deeply fearful of offending the Qi Dynasty.

Chapter 315: That's Impossible

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

After leaving the Thunder Knife Sect, Zhou Donghuang brought the black puppy to the Lightning Sword Sect.

Once he had arrived at the Lightning Sword Sect, even though he was prepared for this, Zhou Donghuang was still shocked… Previously, the Lightning Sword Sect was bustling with activity, but now, this piece of land was flattened and was completely changed into a dump.

Furthermore, the Spirit energy here had become extremely thin, and one could vaguely guess that the spirit stone mines of the Lightning Sword Sect had all been mostly ransacked.

Clearly, when the Qi Dynasty's people had arrived to ransack and destroy the Lightning Sword Sect, they had also taken the chance to clear the mines of the Lightning Sword Sect, robbing them of Spirit energy.

Among the debris, there were dried-up bloodstains everywhere, and there were mountains of corpses to the point where one was unable to count the exact number of dead people.

"The Qi Dynasty…"

Even though Zhou Donghuang had lived a past life of thousands of years and had seen many deaths, when he saw the condition of the Lightning Sword Sect, he could not help but feel rage rise up within him.

This was because the Lightning Sword Sect being attacked was due to his appearance.

According to his memories of the developments in his past life, at this point, the Lightning Sword Sect had not yet met with such a disastrous event. However, now that this event had been carried forward, it had to be linked to him.

"What a disaster… Who is the Qi Dynasty? They were extremely cruel here, crueler than beasts even…"

On Zhou Donghuang's shoulder, the black puppy witnessed this scene and could not help but comment. As he spoke up, he shook his head like a human would.

Whoosh!

With a shake of his body, Zhou Donghuang flew up across the land that used to be the Lightning Sword Sect. Among the corpses that he saw, there were several familiar faces including elders of the Autumn Valley, Autumn valley disciples, and even the three other Valley Heads.

The Lightning Sword Sect Leader, Yu Yucheng, had also been a victim of the Qi Dynasty's attack. However, he was propped up on an arm, and his huge, lifeless eyes showed signs of a struggle, showing his refusal to surrender.

What allowed Zhou Donghuang to breathe a sigh of relief was that after observing the corpses meticulously, he could conclude that out of the casualties of the Lightning Sword Sect, those three most familiar faces were not part of them.

His third senior sister, He Mengxi, as well as the Autumn Valley Head He Jin and Da Zhuang were all not among the sea of corpses.

Clearly, all three of them were all possibly alive.

"Rest in peace… If this really was my fault, I will take revenge for you to make up for this wrongdoing."

After Zhou Donghuang had a moment of silence, he unleashed the essential core within him and instantly swept up the entire area of the Lightning Sword Sect. Dust flew up to the skies and covered the entire land, burying the corpses well.

Boom!

Crash!

…

It was true that Zhou Donghuang had already trained his White Tiger Primordial Soul Power to the ultimate Primordial Soul stage. Furthermore, this White Tiger Primordial Soul Power was extremely powerful, much more than any normal ultimate Primordial Soul adept. However, to activate his Primordial Soul Power to sweep up sand to bury the entire Lightning Sword Sect was still a rather tiring thing to do.

"Hm?"

After he had fully buried the entire Lightning Sword Sect, Zhou Donghuang seemed to sense something, and his eyes darted around.

In the next moment, two figures appeared from afar and appeared almost instantly before his eyes. One stood to his left and one stood to his right, surrounding him in the middle. They glared at him beadily. "Are you a survivor of the Lightning Sword Sect?"

"Actually, it does not matter if you are a survivor of the Lightning Sword Sect or not… Either way, you should die. We are from the Qi Dynasty, and we chose to destroy this sect, why should he be allowed to give them a proper burial?"

The two people surrounding Zhou Donghuang were a middle-aged man and an old man, and both were staring coldly at Zhou Donghuang. The old man, who had last spoken, even had a murderous look in his eyes.

"People of the Qi Dynasty?" Zhou Donghuang asked impassively.

Within the next instant, even before the middle-aged man or the old man could speak, Zhou Donghuang narrowed his eyes, and the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power appeared once again, towering above them all. The White Tiger Primordial Soul Power let out a frightening roar, and this sound reverberated in the skies!

"An ultimate Primordial Soul adept?"

Just as the middle-aged man and old man exchanged doubtful glances, the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power had already caught sight of them. It first headed for the old man, and its solid, thick essential core was used to reach out a claw to squash him!

"Do you think you are the only ultimate Primordial Soul adept here?"

The old man laughed coldly, and his human-based Primordial Soul Power appeared accordingly. With an outstretched fist, it attempted to fend off the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power's huge and mountain-like claw.

In the next second, the two Primordial Soul Powers clashed.

Crash!

With a loud ringing sound, the old man's Primordial Soul Power crumbled first. The old man himself was badly injured and cried out in pain. He spat out a huge mouthful of blood, and his face was as white as a sheet.

"How is this possible!?"

Just as the old man looked up with fear at the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power, the white tiger's next attack had already hit him.

Boom!

The old man's body instantly exploded, and blood rained down to the ground. This was an incredibly shocking yet exhilarating scene to watch!

Only his space ring was left behind. It floated down and was quickly picked up by the black puppy who had fast reflexes.

Seeing this, the old man's partner quickly regained his composure after the old man was killed. He unleashed some of his essential core, shook his body and attempted to run for the hills.

He was now extremely frightened, and he was no longer interested in taking action. All he could think of was to escape.

What a joke.

The old man that had accompanied him from the Qi Dynasty was stronger than he was. However, the old man had died almost instantly at the hands of that white-robed young man. If it were him being attacked first, he would definitely suffer the same fate.

"Trying to escape?" Zhou Donghuang's mouth turned up into a mocking smile.

In an instant, his White Tiger Primordial Soul Power already managed to catch up with the middle-aged man and blocked his path of escape.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man who was running away could sense that it was nearly impossible for him to escape the clutches of this young man, and his facial expression changed again.

Afterwards, his body began to tremble, and he spoke up in an apologetic and humble tone.

"Sir, I did not mean to take action against you, that was that old fellow's idea… I'm willing to gift you with all my fortune in exchange for my life!"

As the middle-aged man spoke, he began to take off his space ring and removed his claim over the items inside.

Whoosh!

The black puppy shot out and snatched the space ring. It then returned to Zhou Donghuang's shoulder.

From start to end, the middle-aged man only watched this speechlessly but did not dare to take any action.

"You are from the Qi Dynasty?" Zhou Donghuang glanced at the middle-aged man and asked in an impassive tone.

"Sir." The middle-aged man was quaking with fear. "I am merely a lowly servant of the Qi Dynasty unlike that of the royal family and those directly attending to them… Today onwards, I will leave the Qi Dynasty and I will no longer be one of their people!"

He did not know the true relationship between the white-clothed youth and the Lightning Sword Sect. However, to save his own life, he still decided to be more cautious and assume that the youth had a deep connection with the Lightning Sword Sect.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Donghuang asked again.

"I'm here because of the seventh prince… The Qi Dynasty's seventh prince, Qi Feng, asked for me and the old fellow to lay in wait to look out for surviving disciples, if possible," the middle-aged man replied immediately.

"He ordered us to kill any survivors that we came across and to bring these heads back to the Qi Dynasty for him to personally inspect.

"According to what I know… What he is looking for should be a disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect named Zhou Donghuang."

The middle-aged man said all this quickly, and when he was done, he stared up at Zhou Donghuang with a face of fear.

"Zhou Donghuang?" Zhou Donghuang's brows furrowed. "Why is he looking for Zhou Donghuang?"

"I heard that it is because Zhou Donghuang's powers are too strong, and he was unwilling to join the Lightning Sword Sect. In order to not allow Zhou Donghuang to threaten the Qi Dynasty's position within the Hengliu galaxy in the future, he wanted to trap Zhou Donghuang and kill him as a precautionary measure."

The middle-aged man continued to respond quickly. "In the beginning, he sent out three servants of about the same level as me to kill Zhou Donghuang but those three were all killed.

"He then suspected that the Lightning Sword Sect was responsible for killing the three Divine Transformation adepts sent out by the Qi Dynasty… Rumor has it that the Lightning Sword Sect's Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, took action alongside Zhou Donghuang. He suspected that He Jin had already crossed over to the Divine Transformation stage and became a Divine Transformation adept.

"He thus sent out Divine Transformation adepts to find out if this was true and found that his hypothesis was right. Not only was He Jin a Divine Transformation adept, but he was also an extremely strong one that surpassed others at the same level.

"At that point, the seventh prince was suspicious of He Jin's changes, and he suspected that it was due to Zhou Donghuang's help. If He Jin continued to grow, he would become a threat to the Qi Dynasty as well.

"The seventh prince then obtained permission from Emperor Qi to destroy the entire Lightning Sword Sect.

"Coincidentally, the son of the Lightning Sword Sect's Spring Valley Head, Liu Lang, previously had an affair with an illicit daughter of the Qi Dynasty's second prince, who was living outside our territory… With this as an excuse to bear a grudge against the Lightning Sword Sect, even before the sect could excel Liu Lang, the Qi Dynasty directly took action to execute the entire Lightning Sword Sect and announced that it was the sect's fault for sheltering Liu Lang, which ignited the wrath of Emperor Qi.

"Under such circumstances, the Alliance, which the Lightning Sword Sect was part of, could not help them out.

"Before you appeared, sir, we had already killed many other survivors of the Lightning Sword Sect and kept their heads for the seventh prince."

As the middle-aged man spoke to this point, the black puppy, who was standing on Zhou Donghuang's shoulder, let out a yelp, and it threw out the human heads that were put inside the two space rings with a look of disgust as shown by its furrowed brows.

Zhou Donghuang casually unleashed a wave of essential core, burying the heads into the ground. Throughout the process, he was patient and had on a solemn expression.

"Of course, the seventh prince wanted to us to stay here mostly to wait for the appearance of Zhou Donghuang… However, out of those people that we've killed, none should be him as I've heard that Zhou Donghuang had always worn purely white clothes, and…"

As he spoke to this point, the middle-aged man could no longer continue his sentence, and he stared at Zhou Donghuang's white clothes with a dazed expression.

Somehow, he felt like the person he had been talking to was Zhou Donghuang, the man the seventh prince was hunting, all along.

"This is impossible… That's impossible… Zhou Donghuang… Even if he had managed to enter the Primordial Soul stage, he would be a normal Primordial Soul adept… How could he be at the ultimate Primordial Soul stage!? How could he be such a scary and intimidating ultimate Primordial Soul adept!"

The middle-aged man tried to comfort himself internally.

"Boss, it seems as though he has recognized you at last!" The black puppy chuckled gleefully.

Of course, the black puppy's words were unintelligible to the middle-aged man as he was speaking in demon language. Only demons who had entered the Primal Core stage were able to speak human languages!

Chapter 316: The Valley Head Can't Hold out for Long!

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

"This time, when the Qi Dynasty attacked the Lightning Sword Sect, did anyone manage to escape?" Zhou Donghuang glanced at the middle-aged man and asked coolly.

The middle-aged man first froze at the question before nodding. "Three people managed to escape. One was the Lightning Sword Sect's Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, and the other two were probably disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect. It was He Jin who fought his way to freedom, and he led them out.

"However, even though He Jin managed to escape this time, he will not be able to live for very long."

As he spoke to this point, the middle-aged man shook his head.

"Why?"

Zhou Donghuang's eyes flashed coldly, and his previously impassive and indifferent tone was now replaced by one with doubt. He urgently wanted to understand what the middle-aged man was trying to say.

The middle-aged man could also sense the change in Zhou Donghuang's tone, and he became more cautious and collected. "The Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, was poisoned by one of the Qi dynasty's poison experts… The poison method of the Qi Dynasty was created by an adept who specialized in the field, and he was a late Divine Transformation adept… One dose of poison would cause the death of any individual at the late Divine Transformation stage or below!"

Now, Zhou Donghuang had mostly established that his third senior sister, He Mengxi, was still alive. This meant that Da Zhuang was probably still alive as well, and they had been rescued by He Jin.

"As I suspected… The disaster that the Lightning Sword Sect met with was brought forward due to my presence."

In his past life, Zhou Donghuang had heard his third senior sister, He Mengxi, mention that the destruction of the Lightning Sword Sect had to do with the Spring Valley Head's son, Liu Lang, but he had not asked her for the details.

As for this life, the destruction of the Lightning Sword Sect did still relate to the same incident with Liu Lang.

However, because of him, the event had been brought to fruition sooner.

Whoosh!

Zhou Donghuang suddenly turned and faced the ground where he had buried members of the Lightning Sword Sect, and he spoke up with a steady tone and gaze, "You all died because of me…

"Today, I, Zhou Donghuang, promise you all that in the near future, I will right this wrong on your behalf!!"

This speech by Zhou Donghuang was overheard by the middle-aged man, and his face changed greatly. "Zhou… Zhou Donghuang? You… you are Zhou Donghuang!?'

"How can this be!?"

"This is impossible!"

Now, Zhou Donghuang had personally revealed his identity with no qualms and had certainly given the middle-aged man a good scare.

Previously, he found it hard to believe that a person who was only at the late Dharma stage a year ago could actually manage to enter the Primordial Soul stage within just one year. Furthermore, this same person had actually managed to reach the ultimate Primordial Soul stage and have such power!

Zhou Donghuang's Primordial Soul Power was extremely strong, and it was similar to that of an early Divine Transformation adept's. He had personally never met such a powerful and scary ultimate Primordial Soul adept before.

Even for those at the peak of the universe's top galaxies, the big tribes of the most talented sects, would not be able to become so strong while they were ultimate Primordial Soul adepts!

As the middle-aged man looked at Zhou Donghuang, his gaze became unfocused. "He… He is actually Zhou Donghuang…

"Run! Now!"

Just as the thought occurred to him, without any hesitation, the middle-aged man turned to run at the speed of light, as if he were an arrow flying through the air.

The question was, would he succeed in escaping?

Roar!

The same roar that shook the skies sounded out as a giant white appeared like a mountain towering in the sky; it instantly caught up with the middle-aged man.

Of course, this was Zhou Donghuang's White Tiger Primordial Soul Power.

Crash!

With the attack of the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power, the middle-aged man's life ended right then and there.

Now, Zhou Donghuang was responsible for the death of three ultimate Primordial Soul adepts of the Qi Dynasty.

"The Qi Dynasty…"

Zhou Donghuang narrowed his eyes towards the skies, focused on a particular direction. "This is only the beginning.

"The debt owed to the Lightning Sword Sect will be repaid by me personally, no matter how long it takes!"

Zhou Donghuang's face returned to its usual peaceful expression. However, his eyes now blazed brightly with determination.

After this, Zhou Donghuang did not linger where the Lightning Sword Sect used to be. Instead, he left the Tielao planet and went in the direction of the Guiyao planet. He wanted to first send the black puppy to the Guiyao planet before setting off to find his third senior sister, He Mengxi and the others.

He felt that unsurprisingly, his third senior sister, He Mengxi, must have brought Da Zhuang and Valley Head He Jin to his hometown, which was far off in the Kaiyuan galaxy on the planet of Ziyun.

This was because He Mengxi had personally visited his hometown in the past and so knew that it was his home.

Of course, this was a guess on Zhou Donghuang's part, but he assumed it to be the most probable.

"Boss, I'll be waiting for you to return!"

In the cave house hidden behind the waterfall on the Guiyao planet, where Mo Ningsang had first rested, Zhou Donghuang used his accessed memories from Mo Ningsang to repair the spells there. He then left the black puppy behind and departed.

Before he left, the black puppy was extremely reluctant to part ways.

Although it had only known Zhou Donghuang for a short time, Zhou Donghuang's care and assistance had caused the black puppy to view Zhou Donghuang as a loved one.

One had to remember that before it met Zhou Donghuang, it was an insignificant demon within the forest.

It was Zhou Donghuang's appearance that had changed its life.

"The next time I return, the black puppy will already have inherited its memories… Whether it chooses to stay by my side or not, I, Zhou Donghuang, already had a positive and fortunate encounter with this divine beast cub…"

The black puppy was a divine beast cub, after all. After it managed to inherit its memories, Zhou Donghuang was unsure as to whether it would have a change of heart or not.

However, no matter the outcome, he would respect the black puppy's wishes.

From a personal perspective, Zhou Donghuang of course hoped that this divine beast would stay by his side as it would be a tremendous boost of strength.

Divine beasts were the elite beasts of the universe, and they were extremely rare as well. Such an existence meant that their talents, learning ability and growth all improved at tremendous speeds!

Furthermore, as long as divine beasts did not give up halfway and continued to develop themselves, they would definitely become divine beings!

Previously, in order to get the black puppy and boost his powers, Zhou Donghuang had visited the forest where it lived.

However, when he personally met this black puppy, and after interacting with it for a short time, he suddenly felt that he was rather selfish in the past. Some things could not be forced. If not, they would possibly backfire.

Divine beasts were not easily controlled by human will, after all.

"How time flies! It's been close to five years since I left the Ziyun planet."

After leaving the Guiyao planet, Zhou Donghuang did not return to the Tielao planet. The Tielao planet was close to the Guiyao planet, but other than that, there were other nearby planets, and so he randomly picked one to go to.

Using the galaxy teleporter, he was sent to another galaxy near to the Kaiyuan galaxy, where the Ziyun planet was.

This was also the first galaxy that he had arrived at after leaving the Ziyun planet four years ago, and this was the same galaxy teleporter that he had used at that time.

The Akiyama galaxy.

The Heyu planet.

The North Desert.

He now felt a sense of nostalgia as he returned to where he had been four years ago.

Previously, when he had first arrived here, he was pursued by three Golden Essence adepts as they wanted to steal his wealth.

However, they had underestimated him, and he ended up killing them instead.

"The Ziyun planet!"

As he stepped out from the galaxy teleporter of the North Desert, Zhou Donghuang felt as if he were traveling through time once again. As he headed for the Ziyun planet, which was situated in the Kaiyuan galaxy, he had also traveled along this path in the past, and it was now familiar to him.

Of course, he was now much more talented. Within a mere few days, he managed to travel the entire distance and quickly appeared before the familiar planet.

"I've arrived."

Seeing the planet before him, Zhou Donghuang's originally impassive gaze became warm in an instant.

No matter if it was Earth or the Ziyun planet—he viewed them all as his home.

Now that he was finally back, he felt a sort of calm and gratefulness surge through him.

Whoosh!

…

Four years was enough for many things to happen.

If one wanted to discuss the Ziyun planet, nothing much had changed over the last four years other than the new Transcendental Force that popped up on the planet. This was the "Donghuang Sect" that Zhou Donghuang, whom everyone on the planet viewed as a top adept, had created.

At the start, the Donghuang Sect was rather empty. Although it was esteemed, it still had few disciples in the sect.

However, with the influence of the Donghuang Sect Leader, Zhou Donghuang, who was mysterious and seldom seen, countless people had arrived from all over just to join the sect on the Ziyun planet.

Because of that, after four years, the Donghuang Sect had already become an elite sect within the Ziyun planet and was extremely well known.

Even without the mysterious Sect Leader Zhou Donghuang, the Donghuang Sect now was skilled enough to battle with other top elite sects, and it could possibly even exceed them in terms of development.

The Donghuang Peak was where the Donghuang Sect was located.

Right now, in a spacious courtyard at the center of the Donghuang Peak, three beautiful ladies were sitting before a table with tension lingering in the air.

"Sister Mengxi, is there really no other way? I can't believe it…" Yang Zixi stared at He Mengxi across the table and spoke up with a worried look.

"Uncle He Jin is a Divine Transformation adept and should be much more powerful than those at the Primordial Soul stage, so how can he die because of mere poison?"

In Yang Zixi's eyes, a Primal Core adept was already considered impressive. In this case, Primordial Soul adepts definitely trumped any Primal Core adepts, much less Divine Transformation adepts who were much stronger. Because of this, she greatly admired Divine Transformation adepts for their sheer power.

How could someone at the Divine Transformation stage die because of mere poison?

"Zixi, this is not a normal type of poison," He Mengxi replied with a bitter expression.

"This is poison from the Qi Dynasty, and it was created by a Divine Transformation adept who specializes in it. Rumor has it that anybody at the late Divine Transformation stage or below is sure to die if they are infected with this poison!

"The fact that my father could hold out until now is only because little brother managed to give him an extremely strong training method. If not, he would have died a long time ago," He Mengxi replied.

Just as she had spoken, an urgent voice rang out from outside, and this caused He Mengxi's face to drastically change.

"Senior Sister! Senior Sister! Valley Head can't hold on for much longer! He wants to see you for the last time!"

Chapter 317: Grafting

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

The person who was here to find He Mengxi was Da Zhuang, who had accompanied the father and daughter duo to the Ziyun planet.

Da Zhuang now was even more stocky than before, and his original calm and peaceful face now looked more mature and aged, giving him a sense of maturity as if he had grown up overnight.

At this very instant, Da Zhuang's face and eyes were full of urgency and worry.

Whoosh!

He Mengxi rushed out of the yard without even greeting Da Zhuang and immediately headed for another courtyard on another side of the mountain. That was where his father, Da Zhuang and she had been residing.

He Mengxi traveled with big and urgent steps with Da Zhuang following closely behind.

As for Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei, they accompanied He Mengxi and Da Zhuang as well.

"Father!"

In one of the rooms in the courtyard, He Mengxi knelt before the bed. On the bed, an exhausted and worn out middle-aged man was lying down. This middle-aged man's body was thin, frail and weak. Dark energy surrounded his entire body, and he looked like skin and bones.

It was hard to imagine that this was the great Autumn Valley Head of the Lightning Sword Sect.

"Don't be sad."

He Jin squeezed out a smile that was absolutely devastating to see, "Promise me that you will not be rash. Before you become strong enough and receive Donghuang's permission, do not seek revenge on your own… Next time, do listen to Donghuang. Although he is younger than you, he is more mature and far-sighted than you.

"Wait for him to return here, but before he returns here, do not leave the Ziyun planet. As for me, I'm afraid I will not be able to wait for his return."

After speaking these words with great difficulty, He Jin's energy seemed to decay further as if he were a twig burning in a fire and could be extinguished anytime.

Just as He Mengxi's face changed, Da Zhuang, Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei's faces changed as well.

A voice sounded out from outside:

"Valley Head, I have returned!"

This voice was full of determination, warmth and a hint of concern. Once it traveled into the ears of those present, their faces all lit up.

Even He Jin seemed to momentarily earn back some energy.

Whoosh!

As if a gust of wind had blown in, a white figure flew in at top speed and appeared at the bedside. Clearly, this was a handsome young man dressed in white. He gave off a glorious aura, and once he appeared, everyone was at a loss for words.

"Miss Mengxi, this young man says that he can help Sir He Jin to get rid of the poison."

A young man dressed in plain clothes walked in. He had a friendly demeanor, and his gaze was warm. Clearly, this was Fu, who had been by Zhou Donghuang's side for a long time.

It was also Fu who had brought Zhou Donghuang here.

After Zhou Donghuang had arrived on the planet, he first went to find his mother, Lin Lan, and sister, Yun Lu. However, they were nowhere to be found, so he visited Fu's residence and immediately rushed here with Fu leading the way.

Once Fu had spoken, He Mengxi's eyes, which were already brighter, now glowed even brighter than before. "Little brother, do you… do you really have a solution to cure my father of this poison?"

"Third Senior Sister, this little bit of poison is no match for me."

Zhou Donghuang then helped He Jin up from the bed and placed him in a cross-legged position. He then took out a space ring, reached within and pulled out some core drugs before feeding them to He Jin.

"Valley Head, this is a Poison Nullifying drug that I managed to get somewhere else. It is known for being able to cancel out many types of poison. Even if it is unable to nullify the poison completely, at least the poison's toxicity will no longer affect you.

"Just to be cautious, after you consume this pill, I will support you in getting rid of the poison… I know a method for dispelling poison. Even if this Poison Nullifying drug does not manage to cure the poison that has traveled to other parts of your body, as long as it can suppress the majority of it, then I have confidence in handling the rest."

Upon hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, He Jin swallowed the Poison Nullifying drug that he had been given without any further hesitation.

Afterwards, the black poison that He Jin's body was affected with was suppressed just as Zhou Donghuang had promised, but it did not disappear completely.

"Fu, go to the yard and pick a flower or a leaf for me."

Zhou Donghuang quickly gave Fu instructions.

"Yes, Young Master."

Fu acknowledged Zhou Donghuang's request, left the room and brought back both a leaf and a flower. Zhou Donghuang then instructed him to place these items flat on the ground next to He Jin.

Png! Png!

At the same time, Zhou Donghuang sat behind He Jin with both palms outstretched and placed them on He Jin's back.

Next, Zhou Donghuang began to transfer the essential core that was within him into He Jin. This essential core slowly and steadily flowed without facing any obstacles or issues. This was because He Jin's internal essential core was used up to defend against the poison that had entered him.

This easy transfer made the entire process more convenient for Zhou Donghuang as well.

As he worked, Zhou Donghuang began to utilize the Grafting method that he remembered from his past life. This method was used to dispel poison. His essential core continued to work until it covered He Jin's entire body. It accessed the places where the poison had infected and worked to reduce this poison.

Then, Zhou Donghuang uttered more spells, and He Jin's internal poison all heeded the command of Zhou Donghuang's inner core and left He Jin's body. The poison was then transferred to the flower and leaf that had been placed beside He Jin's body on the ground.

The entire time, He Mengxi stared anxiously at Zhou Donghuang and He Jin without looking away for even a second.

About a minute later, everyone saw a beam of black light fly up from the top of He Jin's head with a flash. They all turned their heads and saw the black light enter the flower that was placed beside He Jin.

At the same time, the flower began to shed all its petals turned completely black as if it had been burned.

"This…"

He Mengxi's nostrils flared in shock. She was originally kneeling at the bottom of the bed, but she now instinctively stood up due to her shock.

The soft wind that was created due to her movement then swept over the ashy and dead-looking flower on the bed. The flower was instantly torn to pieces and flew up in a cloud of black ashes.

"It's done." Zhou Donghuang then spoke up suitably.

However, one could tell that his voice was rather strained and weak, "As for the Valley Head, he… The poison within him has been completely dealt with. After this, he only needs to rest for some time before he returns back to his original state.

"Third Senior Sister, you need not worry about me."

Zhou Donghuang's clothes were now fully soaked in sweat from top to bottom, and his forehead was drenched in sweat as well.

Even though only a minute had gone by, it was almost as if he had used up all the energy within his body. The four Primordial Soul Powers within his inner core had also become dull. With his weakened state, it was clear that he had overworked himself, and this showed just how taxing the Grafting method was.

"Fu, assist me in cleaning up. I would like to change into a fresh set of clothes."

After speaking to Fu, Zhou Donghuang shut his eyes. However, his fast heartbeat could still be clearly heard in the quiet room.

"Yes, Young Master."

Fu quickly agreed and came forward to assist Zhou Donghuang. Under the keen gaze of the other three ladies and one male in the room, he brought Zhou Donghuang away.

"Father, how do you feel?" He Mengxi questioned her father anxiously.

Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei made the decision to stay with He Mengxi instead of catching up with Fu. As He Mengxi helped her father sit up, she spoke to him with concern.

"I feel much better, the poison within me is gone… Do check in on Donghuang, he spent quite a bit of energy on me."

In actuality, He Jin had already discovered that the poison in his body had been dispelled. However, he had been sub-consciously floating in Zhou Donghuang's seemingly endless essential core, which was as wide and expansive as the ocean… Within Zhou Donghuang's essential core, not only was there something as strong as an ultimate Primordial Soul adept present, but there were also three other essential cores at the late Primordial Soul stage as well.

However, he felt that the essential core that was at the ultimate Primordial Soul stage was actually comparable to a normal early Divine Transformation adept's essential core.

One had to know that although he was only at the early Divine Transformation stage, he was even stronger than typical mid Divine Transformation adepts. This was because he had used the training method Zhou Donghuang had given him, the Thousand-Star Sword Technique, and this had allowed his essential core to become much stronger than counterparts at the same stage.

Furthermore, Zhou Donghuang's three other Primordial Soul essential cores were all comparable to a typical ultimate Primordial Soul adept's essential core.

His essential core was that powerful indeed!

However, the volatility of his essential cores had gone beyond expectation, and this seemed to be the case with all his essential cores.

Because of that, He Jin was extremely shocked.

"Four essential cores… This is as if there are four Primordial Soul Powers within Donghuang's body. My goodness, how did he manage to train up four Primordial Soul Powers? Furthermore, he only had such a short time to do so, but yet he managed to train up all four of his Primordial Soul Powers to respectable stages! The last time he left, what miracles did he encounter?"

The He Jin now was trying his best to calm down to allow his daughter to check in on Zhou Donghuang. However, it was hard for him to recover from this shock.

He naturally knew that training four Primordial Soul Powers would definitely be much more difficult than training a single Primordial Soul Power.

Such a method was one that he would not try to do, even if he was given the chance to do so.

The stages that Zhou Donghuang's four Primordial Soul Powers were at were unequal. One of the four Primordial Soul Powers had clearly exceeded the other three. If Zhou Donghuang were to train all of them equally, the other three would definitely lag behind.

Under such a situation, crossing over to the Divine Transformation stage would be hard for Zhou Donghuang.

It was even possible that Zhou Donghuang would have to train his remaining three Primordial Soul Powers until they crossed over to the ultimate Primordial Soul stage before he could become a Divine Transformation adept.

"Go ahead… I'm fine."

As he instructed his own daughter to check on Zhou Donghuang, He Jin glanced at Da Zhuang, Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei. He had long guessed that the three of them had wanted to check in on Zhou Donghuang. They just felt awkward to leave as that would have been seen as impolite.

Just as he spoke, Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei immediately headed for the door.

As for He Mengxi and Da Zhuang, they then followed suit.

However, after the four arrived at Zhou Donghuang's residence, he had already closed his door. Fu was standing outside, and he smiled as he spoke to the four anxious people standing before him, "Young Master wanted me to tell you all that he is doing well and that he is merely a little worn out. He will recover after taking a bath and resting for a while."

After hearing Fu's words, the four then breathed a sigh of relief. However, they did not leave and continued standing in the yard.

"Sister Mengxi, Zixi and I can stay. You can return to take care of Uncle He Jin," Ren Jiapei said to He Mengxi.

Just as He Mengxi was hesitating, Yang Zixi and Da Zhuang echoed this sentiment. He Mengxi and Da Zhuang then left and returned to where He Jin was resting.

Chapter 318: A Mistaken Encounter with Zhou Donghuang

Inside the house, Zhou Donghuang sat cross-legged and meditated until he replenished his inner essential core.

The him now had already consumed many core drugs that could help with the replenishing of his inner essential core.

After resting for a while and being assured that he had enough essential core to set up formations, he began to set up energy-gathering positions within the room to allow the four Primordial Soul Powers within him to replenish their inner essential cores as well.

Of course, the Spirit energy on the Ziyun planet was definitely lacking in comparison to the Spirit energy on the other planets he had visited in the past. As a result, these energy-gathering positions had less potency, and he had to rely more on the spirit stone veins within the energy-gathering position to accumulate Spirit energy for him to train with.

After three days and three nights and after using up many spirit stone veins, Zhou Donghuang managed to get his White Tiger Primordial Soul Power back to its original state of energy.

As for his other three Primordial Soul Powers, they had only managed to regain a small portion of their essential core.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Donghuang stopped his training and decided to rest further. This was because resting would help his Primordial Soul Powers to recuperate, and it was not urgent for him to help them recover. With his strength now, he was mostly dependent only on the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power.

Furthermore, his White Tiger Primordial Soul Power had already crossed over to the ultimate Primordial Soul stage. In the entire Kaiyuan galaxy, with this White Tiger Primordial Soul Power, he would be able to take on anyone without fear, let alone mere citizens of the Ziyun planet.

Now, what Zhou Donghuang wanted to do most was to see his mother, Lin Lan and his sister, Yun Lu.

Knock knock…

After opening his door, Zhou Donghuang immediately saw some people stand up before the stone table in his courtyard. Out of this group, two were young ladies that he had met when he had first returned. The other two were the people he had wanted to meet the most but couldn't find.

"Brother!"

A tiny and endearing figure shot directly into the arms of Zhou Donghuang. He smiled and obligingly opened his arms, embracing the little girl.

"Brother… you're finally back! I've missed you, I've really missed you."

The little girl who had ran into Zhou Donghuang's arms was naturally Yun Lu. Although it had been five years, time did not seem to have any effect on Yun Lu as she still looked extremely small and childish.

Seeing this, Zhou Donghuang was unsurprised, although he felt saddened by this as well.

Yun Lu hadn't entered puberty yet, and she forcefully used up the maximum strength of her muscles. After that, her body could not grow at a normal speed unless she crossed over to the Primordial Soul stage and took over someone else's body.

If not, she would have to enter the Heavenly stage and reconstruct her own body.

"I've missed you too."

Zhou Donghuang picked Yun Lu up in his arms and walked over to where the other three ladies were. Seeing as his mother did not have too many changes, he spoke in a relieved tone, "Mother, I'm back."

"It's good that you're home."

The person he was standing before was naturally his foster mother, Lin Lan. It had been five years since she had last seen her son, and tears streamed out her eyes in relief.

As Zhou Donghuang had been venturing out to unknown lands, she had naturally been extremely worried for him.

It was undeniable that Zhou Donghuang had always brought her peace of mind.

However, the places he chose to go were often dangerous galaxies where he could possibly meet with problems at any time. Because of that, over the last few years, she had been concerned about her son's safety.

Now, seeing as Zhou Donghuang had managed to return home in one piece, she could finally let go of the burden that had been weighing her down the past few years.

"Brother Zhou."

"Brother Zhou."

Now, both Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei stared at Zhou Donghuang with a look of relief as well. They had both lost their childish looks long ago and now looked much more graceful and ladylike.

Although they had seen each other three days ago, that was not the right time for them to reunite, given the circumstances then. Now that they had the rare chance to meet up again, they were thankful for the opportunity as they recalled their past memories together.

"You've all grown up."

Zhou Donghuang glanced at the two ladies and smiled while sighing to himself internally.

He had assumed that after these five years, when he next saw these two ladies, they would no longer be infatuated with him like they had been previously. He had hoped that they would go about their own business in their own lives.

Perhaps, they could possibly meet other men that they were interested in.

However, at this moment, upon seeing the two ladies' hopeful glances, he could infer that he had made a wrong assumption.

In reality, be it Yang Zixi or Ren Jiapei, even though they had met him when they were still young, Zhou Donghuang's talents had long been admired by them.

It was not like there weren't any other suitors that were chasing after them. However, they either found them too childish or too incompetent. Either way, none of these men could match up to the great Zhou Donghuang in their eyes.

To them, he was the golden standard that others would find it hard to match up to.

"Brother, was it fun exploring other galaxies?"

Not only did Yun Lu still look like a child, but her nature was similar to that of a child as well. In the entire Donghuang Sect, everyone endearingly called her by her nickname, "little princess."

Seeing Yun Lu stare at him with big, watery eyes that were filled with curiosity, Zhou Donghuang sat down at the stone table with her on his lap. He smiled and said, "Of course it was fun."

Upon hearing this, Yun Lu's face filled with anticipation as well as desire. "In that case… Brother, when can I leave the Ziyun planet and explore other galaxies?"

Yun Lu's big eyes widened, and she stared wistfully at Zhou Donghuang.

"If you wish to go out there, I can bring you anytime."

Zhou Donghuang smiled. "After I've finished settling my work, let me take you on a trip. Does that sound good to you?"

"Yes!"

Yun Lu's eyes shone. "Brother, don't go back on your promise."

"When have I ever done so before?"

Zhou Donghuang rubbed Yun Lu's head affectionately and smiled in an indulgent way.

Afterwards, Zhou Donghuang chatted with Lin Lan, Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei before putting Yun Lu down back on the ground and saying to her, "Yun Lu, let me go find Valley Head Jin. I will return shortly.

"You and Mother can wait here for me."

As he spoke, Zhou Donghuang glanced at Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei again. He nodded at them before leaving the yard and heading to where the Lightning Sword Sect's Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, was currently residing.

"Valley Head."

Upon reaching his destination, Zhou Donghuang promptly called out a greeting.

Even before he saw He Jin, a door opened from the room adjacent to He Jin's, and a huge, stocky man walked out with his eyes shining, "Little brother, you're here."

"Mm."

Zhou Donghuang nodded to Da Zhuang. Using his Divine Will to scan the latter, it was not difficult to sense that Da Zhuang was now at the ultimate Dharma stage, and he was close to crossing over into the Divine Transformation stage.

"Da Zhuang, you have been working hard these few days." Zhou Donghuang smiled. "You're about to cross over into the Divine Transformation stage."

Upon hearing this, Da Zhuang rubbed his head abashedly and said, "Third Senior Sister has been training hard. Because of that, I haven't slacked off either. Furthermore, like Third Senior Sister said, in the future, we will have to return to the Lightning Sword Sect to take our revenge. If we do not work hard now, we will not be able to do so."

"Third Senior Sister…"

As he thought of He Mengxi, Zhou Donghuang could not help but sigh to himself.

Perhaps, to Da Zhuang, the loss of the Lightning Sword Sect was not too devastating. He had only truly cared for He Jin and He Mengxi, his two saviors, and the other people were not too much of a concern to him.

However, to He Mengxi, the Lightning Sword Sect had been her home and where she had grown up as a child.

Now, that home was gone.

"Donghuang is here."

With the sound of a door opening, He Jin walked out of his room as well. Compared to the He Jin a few days ago, the He Jin now was still skinny. He hadn't completely recovered, but he had regained most of his energy.

"Come, sit."

He Jin sat down at the stone table in the yard before calling out to Zhou Donghuang. At the same time, he glanced at Da Zhuang and said, "Da Zhuang, do help us brew a pot of tea."

"Yes, Valley Head," Da Zhuang replied courteously and went off to find a teapot.

As for Zhou Donghuang, he descended from the skies and sat down in front of He Jin.

"Valley Head, I'm sorry to have implicated you, the Autumn Valley and our sect."

After sitting down, Zhou Donghuang spoke up apologetically.

"It is not your fault." He Jin shook his head. "It is merely that our biggest enemy came to find us ahead of time… As you said before, it is also because of the Spring Valley Head's son, Liu Lang.

"You merely brought forward what was bound to happen eventually.

"Furthermore, in your dream, I died… Instead, I was well prepared and had trained hard with the Thousand-Star Sword Technique that you had passed down to me to reach the Divine Transformation stage, and I managed to escape with Mengxi and Da Zhuang, saving three lives in the process.

"I could even say that if you had not appeared, the ending that had befallen the three of us would have been similar to your dream where only Mengxi managed to survive," He Jin said.

"However, although I had crossed over to the Divine Transformation stage and am technically stronger than any typical Divine Transformation adept, when the strong force of the Qi Dynasty attacked us, I was only able to save two people, Mengxi and Da Zhuang.

"As for the rest, I was unable to be of any help…"

As he spoke to this point, He Jin's face, which had originally been peaceful, now became slightly pinched. Subconsciously, he began to clench his fists and his fingernails cut into his palm, causing him to bleed.

"Father, you tried your best."

He Mengxi appeared beside Da Zhuang, who was ready with a fresh pot of tea. Clearly, he had informed her that Zhou Donghuang was here.

"Little brother, I'm extremely relieved to see that you are fine. I was worried that you would have returned to the sect and run into the poison master of the Qi Dynasty. After we left, we knew that the Qi Dynasty had stationed some servants near the sect to lie in wait for you. After all, you are perceived as a great threat to them.

"However, because Father was poisoned, we had no chance of stopping them or getting rid of them."

As she spoke, He Mengxi sat down as well.

At this point, Da Zhuang began to give out teacups and pour fresh tea for the other three.

"Third Senior Sister, I did return to the Lightning Sword Sect." Zhou Donghuang smiled and glanced at He Mengxi before shaking his head.

"I only returned to the Ziyun planet after realizing that the Lightning Sword Sect had been executed and knowing that you all had escaped.

"This was because I had guessed that you three would be waiting here for me, and clearly, my guess was right."

Upon hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, He Mengxi's facial expression changed drastically.

"What!?… You made a trip back to the sect?"

Chapter 319: Hong Yunfei?

"Yes, I made a trip back."

Zhou Donghuang seemed rather oblivious to He Mengxi's change in facial expression. He nodded and spoke with an impassive look on his face.

"Does this mean that you met with the people of the Qi Dynasty, who were lying in wait there?"

Although Zhou Donghuang was clearly doing well, after hearing that her junior had actually returned to the Lightning Sword Sect after the sect had been destroyed, He Mengxi could not help but break out into a cold sweat.

This was because He Mengxi had received information that after the Lightning Sword Sect was destroyed, the Qi Dynasty had left representatives at the site to lie in wait for her junior, Zhou Donghuang.

It was undeniable that Zhou Donghuang was talented in the martial way. Nevertheless, against the Qi Dynasty, one still had to be careful.

"Yes, I met them." Zhou Donghuang nodded his head as if he did not see He Mengxi's face change once again.

"I originally wanted to use the galaxy teleporter to return directly to the sect. However, I realized that the galaxy teleporter was not responding, and instead I traveled to a galaxy teleporter that was near to the Lightning Sword Sect.

"At that point, after I had arrived, I realized that there were many people waiting near the galaxy teleporter of the Lightning Sword Sect… They were some disciples of our Lightning Sword Sect who were under the control of an ultimate Primordial Soul adept from the Qi Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, He Mengxi's eyes widened in shock.

She had not expected that the Qi Dynasty would send representatives to lie in wait at the galaxy teleporter of the Lightning Sword Sect. Furthermore, she had not known that survivors of the Lightning Sword Sect were under the control of the Qi Dynasty. It was not hard to guess that their purpose was to identify Zhou Donghuang.

"At that point, one of the disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect recognized me and reported my presence to the representative of the Qi Dynasty… Afterwards, the representative of the Qi Dynasty killed all the disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect as they were of no more use to him.

"Next, he tried to attack me."

As he spoke to this point, Zhou Donghuang paused for a second before continuing to speak. "But he hadn't expected to not be a match for me."

"After killing him, I returned to the Lightning Sword Sect. I discovered that it had been destroyed and only rubble was left… After walking around, I could not find you, the Valley Head or Da Zhuang. I assumed then that all of you had fortunately survived this ordeal.

"Afterwards, two other ultimate Primordial Soul adepts of the Qi Dynasty appeared and tried to murder me. After killing one of them, the other was compliant and told me the details of what had happened. I then confirmed that the three of you were still alive.

"At the same time, I found out that Valley Head had been poisoned by that poison master of the Qi Dynasty and was in a critical condition.

"After killing the second representative, I thought hard and decided that the three of you had most likely come to my hometown, the Ziyun planet…

"So I rushed back home immediately after."

Zhou Donghuang told his story from start to end with an impassive look as if he were talking about something unimportant.

After hearing Zhou Donghuang's story, He Mengxi had on a dazed look of shock as if she were listening to divine words.

Her little junior brother had actually managed to kill several of the Qi Dynasty's ultimate Primordial Soul adepts?

His powers had become so strong now?

How long had it been?

Furthermore, it was not just He Mengxi who had on a dazed look. Even Da Zhuang, who was pouring tea, was so shocked that he dropped and shattered the teapot in his hand. "Little brother… You managed to kill ultimate Primordial Soul adepts?"

"The two ultimate Primordial Soul adepts worked in tandem and were still killed by you?"

He Mengxi and Da Zhuang were visibly shocked, whereas He Jin had on a calm look and appeared unsurprised by this matter.

After He Mengxi had regained her composure, she realized this as well and spoke up. "Father, why do you seem so unsurprised by this news? Little brother left us not too long ago, but yet he is now able to kill ultimate Primordial Soul adepts!"

He Jin laughed and said, "A few days ago, when Donghuang was helping me get rid of the poison, I had already realized that his inner essential core was extremely strong, stronger than that of any typical Divine Transformation adept, in fact.

"With the power of his essential core, it must have been easy for him to kill those ultimate Primordial Soul adepts of the Qi Dynasty."

Upon hearing He Jin's words, He Mengxi glanced at Zhou Donghuang and could not help but cry out, "Little brother, you've already crossed over into the Divine Transformation stage?"

The Divine Transformation stage was beneath the Primordial Soul stage.

Those at this elite stage were extremely rare among those of the previous Lightning Sword Sect, and these adepts had all been really old.

As for her little brother, he was still young!

"Not yet." Zhou Donghuang shook his head.

"I am still an ultimate Primordial Soul adept. It is only because the training method I've been using is strong, and it allows me to have powers that are stronger than any other ultimate Primordial Soul adept. In fact, I could fight with an early Divine Transformation adept.

"This is similar to Valley Head. Before Valley Head crossed over to the Divine Transformation stage, he had transferred to the Thousand-Star Sword technique and became almost undefeatable among the Divine Transformation adepts in the entire Hengliu galaxy."

After Zhou Donghuang spoke, he turned to glance at He Jin.

"That is true.

He Jin turned to look at He Mengxi and nodded. "The strength of one's training method can directly impact one's impact in battle with someone at the same training stage. Although I am only an early Divine Transformation adept, however, by using the Thousand-Star Sword technique that Donghuang taught me, I can duel comfortably with any mid Divine Transformation adept."

"That's amazing." He Mengxi smiled bitterly.

"It has only been a mere few months, yet little brother has managed to cross over into the ultimate Primordial Soul stage… As for me, I only just entered the Primordial Soul stage."

At the start, when He Jin had first left the Guiyao planet with Zhou Donghuang and discovered that he had crossed over into the late Primordial Stage, he knew that this was a scandalous matter. He had not told anyone else about this matter, not even his own daughter, He Mengxi, as he did not want to invite any trouble.

This was why He Mengxi was much more shocked by this turn of the events than He Jin.

"Little brother, this is too much to handle!" Da Zhuang, who had been listening to the conversation, blurted out.

He Jin glanced at He Mengxi and Da Zhuang and smiled. "Now you know just how far you have to go before you can catch up with Donghuang! You two better train hard! At this rate, it's possible that by the time the both of you cross over into the Divine Transformation stage, Donghuang here will probably already be at a stage where he can destroy the entire Qi Dynasty by himself!"

The Qi Dynasty.

As He Jin mentioned the Qi Dynasty, a cold look swept over his eyes.

The Qi Dynasty had almost killed his entire pseudo-family at the Autumn Valley. They had also almost entirely wiped out the entire Lightning Sword Sect, which was where he had grown up!

If Zhou Donghuang had not returned on time, at this point, he would already have died due to the poison of the Qi Dynasty.

Upon hearing He Jin's words, He Mengxi and Da Zhuang's faces now had on extremely solemn but determined looks.

In the end, it was still Zhou Donghuang who spoke up first to break the tension in the air. "This time, after leaving the sect, I managed to gain many treasures… Out of these, two should be of considerable use to Valley Head. As for the rest, most of it can be useful for Senior Sister and Da Zhuang."

After he had found that divine spirit cub, Zhou Donghuang brought the black puppy along to travel with him for about two months. Within that period of time, he visited places that he recalled from his past life and gained many treasures in the process.

Other than a large pile of spirit stone veins, he had also obtained many precious spirit fruits and core drugs. Of course, out of these spirit fruits and core drugs, he had already used some to created spirit drugs.

"Donghuang, you should keep them for your own use," He Jin spoke up. "These things are better used on you than on me… As for Mengxi and Da Zhuang, do not use those treasures on them unless they are useless to you.

"Among us all, your potential is the greatest, and it would be good for you to speedily develop yourself rather than waste the treasures on us and slowing yourself down."

Humans were usually selfish.

However, Zhou Donghuang had previously saved He Jin's life. Furthermore, he had taught He Jin the Thousand-Star Sword Technique, which had helped him greatly. He thus could not bear to be selfish in such a situation that involved Zhou Donghuang's growth.

The words that he uttered now were from the bottom of his heart.

As their group grew together, it made more sense for Zhou Donghuang to develop himself first, even if it was at the expense of the growth of the others.

"Little brother, I agree with my father."

He Mengxi had a similar mentality to He Jin.

"Yes, little brother, save the treasures for yourselves instead of wasting them on me… In the future, we are counting on you to help exact revenge on our brothers and sisters of the Autumn Valley," Da Zhuang said with a smile.

Zhou Donghuang smiled as well and shook his head.

"Do not worry, for my training stage, whether or not I have these items will not affect me… The items that I'm giving you all are either useless to me or I have them in excess."

It was only with Zhou Donghuang's insistence that the other three hesitantly accepted a few of the spirit fruits and core drugs that he held out, as well as a large number of spirit stone veins that shocked even He Jin.

After the three received the spirit fruits and core drugs, they bade each other farewell and returned to their quarters quickly to train.

Clearly, seeing Zhou Donghuang's massive upgrade in power had inspired not just He Mengxi but also Da Zhuang and He Jin.

"This time, I didn't have a chance to see the others yet…"

After leaving the three, several figures popped up in Zhou Donghuang's mind—Freezing Wind, Lu Qinghu, Zhou Han and Zhou Feng.

Furthermore, there were two other huge figures—Big Gold and Little Gold.

After he had left He Jin and Da Zhuang's courtyard, Zhou Donghuang took to the skies and flew over the various areas of the Donghuang Peak without disturbing anyone.

As he observed these areas, a comforting smile appeared on his face subconsciously.

"At the very least, they have not been slacking off."

The Donghuang Peak now was not as empty as before; now, it was bustling with activity.

After a few years of development and with the help of Zhou Donghuang's name, the Donghuang Sect now had become sacred land on the Ziyun planet.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, a sound rang out past Zhou Donghuang's ear, attracting his attention.

If it had been ordinary noise, he would not have paid attention to it.

However, this voice included the mentioning of a name: Hong Yunfei.

He was not unfamiliar with this name. Rather, one could even say that he was extremely familiar with it.

Previously, when Chen Dandan had betrayed his mother, Lin Lan, it had been to fly off with the young master of the Hong family. He was a part of the elite family of the Yunfeng prefecture.

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Report chapter

Chapter 320: Chen Dandan is my old friend

"Perhaps they were referring to someone else."

Zhou Donghuang shook his head and got ready to leave.

However, another voice rang out once again, causing him to freeze.

"Hong Yunfei, I heard rumors that you are from the Yunfeng prefecture, which was the most elite and sacred group that existed when our young master of the Donghuang Sect was still alive… Those who are a part of the group are already so talented, but you aren't of the same standard at all.

"Previously, during the sub-sect trials, you managed to get first. Surely this wasn't because you cheated your way through?"

This voice was mocking and scornful.

"This Hong Yunfei is also from the Yunfeng prefecture?"

Zhou Donghaung froze and flew forward, appearing at the center of the Donghuang Peak, where a performing arts stage was erected.

After glancing ahead, he could see a ragged young man sitting on the floor breathless. He looked defeated. This defeated-looking teenager was glaring up at an arrogant young man with an unsatisfied gaze. "Fang Lunjie, we are of the same age. I've only entered the sect for three months, and yet you've been in this sect for three years! Is it that surprising that you've managed to beat me?

"Three months. Give me three months. In three months, I, Hong Yunfei, will definitely defeat you!"

Hong Yunfei was the beloved young master of the Hong family, which was the elite family of the Yunfeng prefecture and one that Chen Dandan had associated with in the past.

Previously, his father, Master Hong, had found out about Chen Dandan's identity and asked for Hong Yunfei to chase Chen Dandan. Afterwards, he had successfully visited the Valley of the Medicine Masters, where he had met Chen Dandan's biological father, the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters.

However, afterwards, Chen Dandan felt that he was not fit to marry her and had sent him out of the Valley of the Medicine Masters.

Afterwards, Hong Yunfei had an epiphany through this incident that relying on others was not a good way to live life, and that he should depend on himself. After he had returned to the Hong family in the Yunfeng prefecture, he fully committed himself to training. He wanted to embarrass Chen Dandan and make her regret her decision in the future.

A while later, he heard that Chen Dandan had entered one of the strongest sects in the Ziyun planet, the Xuanyin Sect, and was being cared for by Golden Essence adepts. He felt despair in his heart and felt that he had no hope left in his life. Because of that, his training stage had remained stagnant for a long time.

Later, Zhou Donghuang had risen up and killed Chen Dandan's mentor, who was already a Dharma adept. He also killed Chen Dandan personally and established the Donghuang Sect, allowing the previous Valley of the Medicine Masters to become the sub-sect of the Donghuang Sect. Hong Yunfei had then abandoned his desolate state and regained his fighting spirit.

After entering the Donghuang Sub-Sect, he had then entered the main Donghuang Sect.

Half a year ago, he had gotten the top results in the Donghuang Sub-Sect's examinations and received a nomination to enter the main Donghuang Sect. Three months prior to this, he had entered the Donghuang Sect and thus achieved his main aspiration.

"Do you really think three months is enough?"

The young man standing before Hong Yunfei wore an impassive look, and he glanced casually at the other Donghuang Sect disciples who were standing around as onlookers. "Did you all hear that? Hong Yunfei declared that he will be able to defeat me within three months.

"Perhaps, he does not know that… As long as I utter the words, my father can confiscate the spirit stone veins that he would claim each month, leaving him with no spirit stone veins to train with."

As he spoke, the young man had on a cold look.

As Hong Yunfei heard this words, his face changed greatly.

He naturally knew that Fang Lunjie was not joking around.

Fang Lunjie's father was one of the outer elders of the sect who was in charge of the internal affairs of the sect's disciples. As long as Fang Lunjie spoke up, he could use all sorts of reasons to cut off his supply to spirit stone veins, causing him to lack spirit stone veins for training. If that happened, his training progress would slow down greatly.

He had not expected Fang Lunjie to be so cruel just because of a small duel.

"Senior Fang!"

The skinny youth who had gone forward to help Hong Yunfei heard Fang Lunjie's words and his face became as pale as a sheet. Instantly, he let go of Hong Yunfei and took two to three steps before Fang Lunjie and knelt down. "Senior Fang, let me kneel to you. I'll even lick your shoe right now!

"This matter does not concern Hong Yunfei, please do not cut off his spirit stone veins supply. Please."

As the skinny youth spoke, he lowered his head and prepared to lick Fang Lunjie's right shoe.

One could see that the shoe had a faint grey mark on it.

"Xiaoyong!" Hong Yunfei barked. "Do not do this and disrespect yourself! If the sect does not care for our welfare, we can return to the sub-sect and never return to the main sect!"

"Senior Yunfei."

The skinny youth turned to glance at Hong Yunfei, and tears streamed from his eyes. "Senior Yunfei, entering the main sect was always your dream. It was because of your hard work that you've turned into a role model that I could emulate, and I could enter the main sect as well.

"Today's events happened because of me. Let me settle them for you. I beg you," Xiao Yong begged.

At this point, the number of onlookers grew, and Zhou Donghuang also learned of the past events through word-of-mouth.

The skinny youth named "Xiao Yong" was careless while walking and had accidentally stepped on the shoe of the Donghuang Sect disciple, Fang Lunjie. Even though he had apologized many times, Fang Lunjie still said that he had to lick his shoe clean.

At this point, Hong Yunfei stood up for Xiao Yong but was defeated and injured by Fang Lunjie.

Xiao Yong and Hong Yunfei were from the same batch of people who had entered the Donghuang Sect through the Donghuang Sub-Sect's examinations.

Other than being an outer disciple, Fang Lunjie also had a father who was an outer elder. In the Donghuang Sect, many disciples feared him and did not dare to offend him. Those who had offended him in the past had all suffered the consequences for doing so.

Under such a situation, Fang Lunjie became extremely arrogant and insensitive.

Subconsciously, over time, Zhou Donghuang's gaze had become cold.

Such a thing could actually happen in his Donghuang Sect?

"That's enough."

Zhou Donghuang stepped out slowly, cutting through the crowd of people and glanced impassively at Fang Lunjie. He then glanced at Xiao Yong, who was kneeling, and said, "Is kneeling down and licking someone's shoe something that the Donghuang Sect taught you?

"After you came here from the sub-sect, you learned to throw away your pride?"

Once Zhou Donghuang spoke, Xiao Yong's face instantly became red. "No… That's… That's not the case!"

"Who are you? Are you trying to meddle in matters that do not concern you like Hong Yunfei?"

Fang Lunjie glanced at Zhou Donghuang. Seeing that Zhou Donghuang was younger than him and looked more innocent as well, his eyes flashed with slight jealousy. He casually pointed at Hong Yunfei.

"Did you witness what happened to him? If you do not wish to suffer the same fate, then get lost!"

As Fang Lunjie spoke, he used a commanding tone, making him appear even more arrogant.

However, Zhou Donghuang ignored Fang Lunjie and instead looked at Hong Yunfei, who had propped himself up and was sitting shakily.

"Are you Hong Yunfei? From the Yunfeng Prefecture's Hong family?"

"How did you know?"

Hong Yunfei was extremely shocked, and his eyes widened.

A few years ago, he had left his family and entered the Donghuang Sub-Sect. He mentioned that he was from the Yunfeng Prefecture, but he had never mentioned that he was from the elite Hong family tribe. So no one was truly aware of the fact that he was from the city or that he was from an elite family.

"I also know that you are the Hong family's beloved young master."

Zhou Donghuang smiled lightly.

"You… Who are you?!"

Hong Yunfei then narrowed his gaze at the man before him. He could swear that he had never met him before.

This man had on a set of white clothes, was handsome and had bushy eyebrows. He looked regal, and this was especially because of the confidence that he radiated. With one glance, one would feel respectful towards him.

"Do you still remember Chen Dandan?" Zhou Donghuang smiled and asked.

Hong Yunfei's facial expression changed greatly.

Chen Dandan. Of course, he remembered the name Chen Dandan. In fact, he would never forget it for the rest of his life.

"You… You know Chen Dandan?"

Hong Yunfei trembled internally.

"Yes, I do."

Zhou Donghuang nodded his head. "Not only do I recognize her, but I am her old friend, and I know of the events that happened between you and her."

Just as Zhou Donghuang uttered his words, Hong Yunfei's face had changed, and Fang Lunjie, who had been ignored by Zhou Donghuang, now barked out in utter rage, "Young man, you dare to ignore me! You're really asking for it!"

With that shout from Fang Lunjie, his entire being rushed forward like a leopard and headed straight for Zhou Donghuang.

"Be careful!" Hong Yunfei urgently reminded Zhou Donghuang.

However, what happened next caused Hong Yunfei and the entire crowd to look up in utter shock.

Boom…

A crisp, clear sound rang out. Before Fang Lunjie, who had charged forward, could make any moves against the white-clothed man, the white-clothed young man had already hit his face as fast as lightning. After Fang Lunjie spat out a fresh mouthful of blood, his entire body flew to the side, and he landed heavily on the ground with a crash.

This entire scene caused the crowd to turn deathly silent, except for Fang Lunjie, who had yelled out in pain.

"Who is he? He managed to send Fang Lunjie flying with one slap?"

"Fang Lunjie is one of the most powerful in our sect… Among the outer disciples, no one has such power…"

"Could he be an inner disciple?"

…

For the onlookers, which were outer disciples of the Donghuang Sect, they had all begun to suspect that this young man in white was not one of them and was instead an inner disciple of the Donghuang Sect.

"Even if you are an inner disciple, my father will never forgive you! Just you wait! I'll remember you! Just you wait!"

An enraged voice rang out from Fang Lunjie, who was pitifully trying to steady himself. After staring at Zhou Donghuang fiercely, he hobbled away to find help.

Zhou Donghuang did not care much for Fang Lunjie and continued to look quietly at Hong Yunfei.

Under Zhou Donghuang's solemn gaze, Hong Yunfei was floored.

He had not expected this man to know about his matters with Chen Dandan. Furthermore, he had not expected that an inner disciple of the Donghuang Sect would recognize him.

At this moment, within the Donghuang Sect, no one had recognized his true identity yet. No one knew of his previous affairs with Chen Dandan that allowed him to come across the esteemed Donghuang Sect Leader, Zhou Donghuang, who had had issues with Chen Dandan due to his adoptive mother, Lin Lan.

"It seems as though… I can no longer stay in the Donghuang Sect. Perhaps… I cannot even leave the Donghuang Sect alive."

Although Hong Yunfei had been mentally prepared for his identity to be exposed when he first entered the Donghuang Sub-Sect, this turn of events still left him feeling desolate and regretful. He truly regretted not rejecting his father's request for him to chase Chen Dandan as his inability to enter the Valley of Medicine Masters had left him with unspeakable shame and pain.

Chapter 321: Fang Danming

Hong Yunfei, who Zhou Donghuang was glaring at, was now feeling desperate.

The young man in white in front of him was clearly one of the inner sect disciples of the Donghuang Sect. Otherwise, he would not have been able to send Fang Lunjie flying with just one offhanded slap to the face.

While being stared down at by someone like that, Hong Yunfei could not escape even if he wanted to.

"S… senior."

Hong Yunfei barely mustered up the courage to address him and was initially going to blurt out "Junior," considering that this young man standing in front of him was probably many years younger than him. But upon recalling that this young man was probably one of the inner sect disciples, and knowing that his own strength paled in comparison, Hong Yunfei immediately corrected himself.

"Whatever happened in the past was due to my youthful ignorance… for this matter, if you really want to report it, regardless of how the superiors decide to handle the case, I, Hong Yunfei, will accept it.

"However, if Senior would be so kind as to let me off the hook this once, I, Hong Yunfei, will be extremely grateful!"

At this point, Hong Yunfei gave a deep bow towards Zhou Donghuang with an extremely solemn expression on his face.

Hong Yunfei knew that his life lay in the hands of the person in front of him.

"Senior Yunfei?"

At this moment, Xiao Yong, an outer sect disciple, finally recovered from his moment of shock. Upon seeking Hong Yunfei bowing towards Zhou Donghuang and saying a string of words that he could not comprehend, Xiao Yong looked quizzically towards Hong Yunfei.

"Xiao Yong, this matter does not concern you, you should leave first."

Hearing Xiao Yong call out to him, Hong Yunfei glanced at him and sighed.

"Senior, he is a disciple I met at this new sect, he has nothing to do with my past," Hong Yunfei quickly explained, afraid that Zhou Donghuang would find trouble with Xiao Yong.

However, Zhou Donghuang did not reply to Hong Yunfei, but instead continued to stare quietly at him.

Zhou Donghuang was deep in thought about his past.

His thoughts returned to a thousand years ago. The turning point then was Chen Dandan's betrayal, and the very cause of that betrayal was standing right before his eyes.

If Hong Yunfei had appeared before him a thousand years ago, without a doubt, Zhou Donghuang would have slapped him to his death if possible.

However, after the betrayal, Zhou Donghuang had gone on to set up the Donghuang Sect and stood supreme at the top of Ziyun planet. Any lingering thoughts about Hong Yunfei had long been thrown to the back of his mind.

Perhaps, from the start to the end, he had never seriously regarded Hong Yunfei.

As of this moment, upon seeing Hong Yunfei in person for the first time, Zhou Donghuang did not feel any hint of emotion, despite Hong Yunfei being someone whom he should hate.

A crowd of outer sect brothers stood around the two of them in a daze.

What does this inner sect disciple intend to do?

He seems to have some sort of hold over Hong Yunfei?

But if that is the case, why is he ignoring Hong Yunfei?

Hong Yunfei looked nervously at the young man in white, his heart filled with unfathomable anxiety. He was not sure if Zhou Donghuang was willing to let him off the hook.

Right when the area became rather quiet, a sudden voice was heard from afar. The voice was clearly coming from someone full of anger.

"Father! That's him! He's the one who hurt me!"

The voice drew the attention of the crowd of outer sect disciples, who, upon turning their heads in the direction of the voice, saw Fang Lunjie returning.

Fang Lunjie was limping over, trailing behind a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man had a medium build and wore a long blue robe. His features were fifty to sixty percent similar to those of Fang Lunjie, but his chilling gaze bore daggers in one's skin.

"It's Elder Fang Danming!"

All the outer sect disciples present could recognize him.

"This inner sect senior is in trouble now…even if he is an inner sect disciple, Elder Fang Danming's father is the inner sect elder, the elder in charge of the inner sect disciples!"

"Exactly… if Elder Fang Danming were any ordinary outer sect elder, then he might have to be concerned about whether this inner sect disciple had another elder backing him. But Elder Fang Danming is different; his father is the inner sect elder."

"I'm afraid this inner sect senior will probably be punished. Regardless if it were Elder Fang Danming or his father, they are both notoriously protective. Two years ago, Senior Fang Lunjie was injured by an inner sect disciple. That disciple was eventually expelled from the inner sect by Fang Lunjie's grandfather, the inner sect elder."

…

The outer sect disciples gossiped among themselves. They looked at Zhou Donghuang with pity.

In their opinion, even if Zhou Donghuang were not expelled from the sect, his plight would definitely not be optimistic. This was unless he had someone even more powerful than Fang Lunjie's grandfather backing him.

The moment Fang Lunjie pointed at Zhou Donghuang, Fang Danming locked his gaze onto Zhou Donghuang, and in a couple of steps, he reached his side. Fang Danming glared at Zhou Donghuang, asking "What is your name? What sect are you from?"

Fang Danming was hell bent on finding out Zhou Donghuang's background.

After all, there were some inner sect disciples that were direct disciples of the core elders of the sect. They had such powerful backgrounds that even his father, the inner sect elder, could not afford to offend them.

Of course, for the majority of the inner sect disciples, they were under the tutelage of either the inner sect elders or the outer sect elders. There were even some disciples who were not under anyone's tutelage; they were just ordinary inner sect disciples with no background.

"Inner sect disciple?"

Zhou Donghuang finally shifted his gaze from Hong Yunfei to Fang Danming. "Who said I was an inner sect disciple…? And you are his father?"

Zhou Donghuang's gaze then shifted from Fang Danming to Fang Lunjie, who was standing behind him. "A son's mistake stems from his father's failure to teach… the fact that your son is this arrogant and disrespectful means that you as his father had a big part to play in it.

"Also…he proclaimed that with just a word from him, you as the outer sect elder, would cut off the spirit stones that the other outer sect disciples collected from the sect every month?"

At the mention of this, Zhou Donghuang's glare grew fiercer.

Having sensed Zhou Donghuang's piercing gaze, a shiver ran down Fang Danming's spine.

Not an inner sect disciple?

Add to that the fact that he was full of confidence and showed no signs of fear when facing this outer sect elder.

Unless…

"You… you are a core disciple?!"

Fang Danming's expression froze, and his voice trembled.

In the Donghuang Sect, there were a handful of core disciples who were the biological disciples of the central sect elders and who were superior to the inner sect disciples.

The ranking of the core disciples within the sect was comparable to that of the inner sect elders.

And because of their background, even the inner sect elders were careful not to anger them. Though the elders were not extreme to the point of being reverent to these core disciples, the elders were still definitely courteous towards them.

However, right after asking that question, Fang Danming furrowed his brows in confusion again.

He suddenly recalled that he had in fact met all the ten core disciples of the Donghuang Sect, and Zhou Donghuang was not a part of them.

Unless this was a newly recruited core disciple?

"I am not a core disciple."

Just as Hong Yunfei and the surrounding group of outer sect disciples were still in shock from Zhou Donghuang's supposed "core disciple" status, Zhou Donghuang denied Fang Danming's claims.

"Not a core disciple?"

Fang Danming furrowed his brows in confusion.

Not an inner sect disciple nor a core disciple. Could he merely be an outer sect disciple?

But there probably wasn't anyone with such strong powers in the outer sect, was there?

"Father, I think he's just someone who smuggled himself into our Donghuang Sect, he does not even have the Donghuang Sect identity crest on his belt!"

Fang Lunjie seemed to have made a sudden discovery, his gaze falling on Zhou Donghuang's belt as he exclaimed.

"One must know, that even people of the highest status, such as our Sect Leader's mother, Lady Lin Lan, and his sister, Miss Yun Lu, will wear the sect's core elder's identity crest on their belt.

"And every visitor to the Donghuang Sect, including Lady Lin Lan's guests, will wear the visitor identity crest on their belt when within the compounds of the Donghuang Sect.

"This is a rule of the Donghuang Sect that even Lady Lin Lan follows. So in my opinion, he is definitely an outsider who trespassed into the Donghuang Sect. He is fooling around with us!"

The more Fang Lunjie reasoned things out, the fiercer his gaze turned. He shouted, "Anyone who trespasses into the Donghuang Sect, according to our Donghuang Sect regulations, will be prosecuted!"

Upon hearing Fang Lunjie's words, Fang Danming regained his senses and once again looked at the youth in white, his gaze turning icy. "Sir, which high-profile Donghuang Sect member are you a guest of?"

Zhou Donghuang was already tickled by Fang Lunjie's previous conclusion about his core disciple status, but Fang Danming's words made him burst out in laughter. "I am not anyone's guest."

"Who brought you into the Donghuang Sect then? The Donghuang Peak is the property of the Donghuang Sect, and outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

Fang Danming's tone became even more hostile.

"No one brought me in," Zhou Donghuang said coolly. "I came here by myself."

Upon seeing the composure of this white-shirt youth in front of them, all the outer sect disciples thought that all this could possibly be a huge misunderstanding.

However, upon hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, they were stunned.

Someone who was not a guest of any of the Donghuang Sect's high-ranking members?

No one brought him in?

He came by himself?

Doesn't that mean he committed a crime of trespassing into the Donghuang Sect?

"Haha…"

Fang Lunjie could not help himself and burst into laughter. "What did I say, he definitely is a trespasser!

"Father, since he has already admitted it himself, then there's no need to be nice with him anymore! He trespassed into Donghuang Sect, so punish him!"

Fang Lunjie stared intensely at the young man in white standing in front of him, as though already witnessing the scene of Zhou Donghuang being ruthlessly killed by Fang Danming.

"Hand him over to the enforcement hall and let the law take care of him," Fang Danming said after being silent for a moment.

He too wanted to personally kill Zhou Donghuang in order to stand up for his son.

However, seeing as how Zhou Donghuang was exhibiting such confidence and fearlessness from the start, he hesitated. If Zhou Donghuang were indeed someone of a superior background, then by killing him, wouldn't he be digging his own grave?

Even if Zhou Donghuang's background meant nothing to the Donghuang Sect, that did not mean that Fang Danming himself was not afraid of him.

Just as Fang Lunjie was beginning to express his unhappiness at the situation, Zhou Donghuang looked at Fang Danming and calmly said, "Before you send me to the enforcement hall, shouldn't you first discipline your son, as well as yourself?

"He actually said in front of everyone, that with one word from him, he can get you to break the spirit stones supply of an outer sect disciple."

Chapter 322 Zhou Donghuang

"You should be thankful that I am merciful and am choosing not to kill you with my bare hands…"

Seeing the young man in white still mention the matter, Fang Danming could not help but feel anxious. After all, this was not something reputable. Once the matter escalated, even with the protection of his father, he may also be punished for this matter.

"You had better not be stubborn!"

Fang Danming glared angrily at Zhou Donghuang, his gaze icy cold. If not for the fact that he was afraid of this young man having a remarkable background which he could not afford to offend, he would have already killed him right away.

"After you punish your son and yourself, I will then follow you to the court."

Zhou Donghuang glanced slightly at Fang Danming, then said with a sarcastic smile, "Until you do that, I am not going anywhere."

"Father, since he is seeking death, then grant him his wish!" Fang Lunjie called out harshly, his eyes cold and murderous.

Fang Danming was already extremely frustrated at this young man, but with his son adding fuel to the fire, he lost his calm as he threatened once again, "Young man, I'll give you one last chance to follow me to the court.

"Otherwise, I will personally punish you on behalf of the Donghuang Sect!"

On behalf of the Donghuang Sect.

Fang Danming had already thought of a plan.

By declaring in front of the crowd of outer sect disciples that he would be punishing the young man before him on behalf of the Donghuang Sect, even if the young man had a powerful background, they would not be able to take revenge on him alone. The whole Donghuang Sect would be involved as well.

The Donghuang Sect was already recognized as the most powerful sect in the entire Ziyun planet, so he did not think that anyone backing this young man would be able to take on the entire Donghuang Sect.

In the end, they would be unable to do anything.

"On behalf of the Donghuang Sect?"

Zhou Donghuang laughed brightly as he asked, "You think that you are worthy of representing the Donghuang Sect? In the Donghuang Sect, you are nothing more than a slug!"

A slug.

As the words left Zhou Donghuang's mouth, the crowd of outer sect disciples in the crowd, including Hong Yunfei, felt as if their anger had somewhat been eased.

Some of them had been ill-treated by Fang Lunjie in the past, and even if they had not been treated poorly, none of them fancied Fang Lunjie or his father, Fang Danming.

However, although their anger had been slightly eased, they looked at Zhou Donghuang with a look of sympathy.

"You're asking for it!!"

Zhou Donghuang's words were the last straw for Fang Danming. He could not hold in his anger any longer, and with a loud cry, he struck out with his right arm.

In the next instant, although nobody could see any movement from him, his fingers shot out with a burst of inner Qi, showcasing his ability as an ultimate Connate adept.

Next, with a slight tremble of his body, he got closer to Zhou Donghuang.

Boom!!

The inner Qi came together to form a giant palm in the air that rushed down from above towards Zhou Donghuang. Its speed was alarming, and it was clearly trying to kill Zhou Donghuang with a single blow.

As the outer sect elder of the Donghuang Sect, Fang Danming's power was far beyond his son, Fang Lunjie, who had only just reached the early Connate stage.

However, this was no matter to Zhou Donghuang.

Bang!!

Many of the outer sect disciples in the crowd instinctively shut their eyes, afraid to see the bloody scene of Zhou Donghuang being murdered. The moment the giant palm crystallized from inner Qi landed on Zhou Donghuang's body, it mysteriously dissipated.

Zhou Donghuang still stood in his original spot as if nothing had happened.

The inner Qi within the giant palm seemed to completely disappear when it landed on Zhou Donghuang, just like a stone sinking into the ocean.

This mysterious scene left the crowd gasping in shock.

Fang Danming was even more shocked. His eyes widened as he stared at the young man in disbelief. "How… how is this possible?!"

The outer sect disciples who had shut their eyes originally now opened their eyes after realizing that something was amiss. They all looked at the scene before them in confusion.

"What is happening now?"

"Did Elder Fang Danming hold back at the last moment?"

…

As the whole crowd watched on, Zhou Donghuang looked calmly at Fang Danming, and his hand shot out with his palm outstretched.

In the next instant, Fang Danming was already suspended in mid-air.

Connate adepts did not have the ability to float in the air, as this was a skill only for Primal Core adepts and higher.

This meant that Fang Danming was clearly being suspended in the air by the young man in white.

"What… what kind of power is this?!"

Seeing the scene unfold before him, Hong Yunfei felt the back of his neck go numb. Even some Primal Core adepts wouldn't have the power to do what this young man just did!

As for Fang Lunjie, who was originally standing behind Fang Danming, he fell to the ground in shock. He stared in disbelief at the scene before him as he muttered, "How… how is this possible!"

In mid-air, Fang Danming wrapped his hands around his neck. He could feel his neck being trapped by something strong and choking him. With his eyes wide open, he stared at the young man in white standing in front of him, as he asked in a shaky voice, "Who… who are you?!"

Whoosh!

Zhou Donghuang floated into the air and appeared in the skies above. He looked down on Fang Danming, who was struggling to raise his head to look at him.

This scene left the crowd in fright as if they felt a cold gush of air rising from their feet up to their heads.

Floating in mid-air.

This was the skill of an adept beyond the Primal Core stage!

In the Donghuang Sect, only inner sect elders and above were at the Primal Core stage and beyond.

"Such a young Primal Core adept?"

"Is this a skill of those at the Primal Core stage? Choking someone from a distance away… even a Golden Essence adept, the most powerful among the Primal Core adepts, may not be able to do this!"

"Who is this man?!"

…

The group of outer sect disciples, including Hong Yunfei, now looked at the young man in white with a shocked expression.

"He… he could not possibly be…"

Suddenly, Hong Yunfei had a thought. When he remembered how the young man had mentioned Chen Dandan upon seeing him, he immediately thought of someone.

If it was really that person, this power would be no surprise.

Hong Yunfei's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he looked up at the figure floating in the sky. His face was filled with fright.

The young man was dressed in flowing white clothes, and he had an extraordinary demeanor.

"Zhou Donghuang," he finally answered.

Once the words left the young man's mouth, Hong Yunfei crumbled to the ground, breathless. The rest of the crowd descended into silence.

Fang Lunjie, who had already fallen to the ground in shock, was now so frightened that he soiled his pants, the pungent smell spreading all around him.

"Sect… Sect Leader?!"

Fang Danming, who was now trapped in mid-air, gasped as his eyes narrowed and his face filled with a look of desperation and fear.

He would never have imagined that the young man in front of him was the Sect Leader, someone who the entire Donghuang Sect revered as a god, but who was also so mysterious that nobody had ever seen him before!

Usually, being able to see the Sect Leader in the flesh would be something to brag about.

But now, he was filled with nothing but regret.

"Abusing your power for your personal gain, disrespecting your seniors, and even trying to murder the Sect Leader himself… do you think it is fair to punish you with death?" Zhou Donghuang looked down upon Fang Danming as he asked calmly.

Hearing this, Fang Danming's expression was one of despair.

Then, his body shattered in the air, turning into a cloud of dust that disappeared with the wind.

Down below, the group of outer sect disciples was not frightened by the scene that had just unfolded. Instead, they looked at the figure in white with a look of respect and admiration.

Sect Leader.

This was the leader of their Donghuang Sect!

They had finally seen him in the flesh!

Zhou Donghuang floated in the air, his arms behind his back as he slowly said two words:

"Freezing Wind."

His voice was not loud, but it could be heard all over Donghuang Peak.

In a few moments, a black figure appeared out of nowhere like a ghost, right in front of Zhou Donghuang.

"Young Master… No, Sect Leader."

As Freezing Wind looked at the young man in white before him, his body could not help but quiver in excitement.

He had heard that his Young Master had returned a few days ago, but because he knew that his Young Master was recovering after helping He Jin dispel the poison, Freezing Wind had not gone to disturb him.

In the last few days, he had been waiting for his Young Master to call him.

Now, his Young Master had finally called out to him.

It had been almost five years. Freezing Wind had not changed much in appearance, but the biggest change was in the air that he exuded.

Freezing Wind had represented Zhou Donghuang to manage the Donghuang Sect as the Deputy Sect Leader. In the last few years, he had slowly cultivated a presence of leadership.

However, despite the change in his temperament, his loyalty towards the young man had not changed at all.

It was only because of this young man that he could have achieved all that he had in his life.

Without this young man, he would have been a petty thief in a faraway land.

"Young Master."

"Young Master."

Following Freezing Wind, Zhou Han and Zhou Feng also appeared. The youths of the past had now grown into adults, and they looked more mature.

However, upon seeing Zhou Donghuang, their excitement was no less than Freezing Wind.

"Sect Leader," Freezing Wind corrected them.

The two of them immediately corrected themselves to address Zhou Donghuang as "Sect Leader," and the excitement on their face lingered for a long time.

"Not bad, you have been working hard."

Zhou Donghuang had already sensed Freezing Wind's level of skill, as well as Zhou Han and Zhou Feng's. He nodded in satisfaction.

Freezing Wind and the two of them smiled from ear to ear like children who had just eaten honey upon being praised by Zhou Donghuang.

The outer sect disciples looking at this scene seemed as if they had seen a ghost.

The cold Deputy Sect Leader of their Donghuang Sect and Zhou Han and Zhou Feng, the two core elders who were also known to be cold and unfriendly, were now smiling so happily?

Was this really happening?

Many people now suspected that they were dreaming.

At this time, Zhou Donghuang's expression turned serious as he said, "Fang Danming, the outer sect elder, tried to kill me, and he has already been punished by death.

"Fang Danming's son, the outer sect disciple, Fang Lunjie, abused his authority to bully other members of the sect. He shall be stripped of all his power and kicked out of the sect!"

With that, Zhou Donghuang glanced coldly at Fang Lunjie, who was cowering in fear on the ground, covered in his own feces and urine.

Hearing the order from Zhou Donghuang, Fang Lunjie fainted in shock.

"He seems to have a grandfather who is an inner sect elder of our Donghuang Sect, correct?" Zhou Donghuang looked at Freezing Wind and asked.

"Yes."

Freezing Wind looked at Fang Lunjie, who was lying motionless on the ground, then respectfully answered Zhou Donghuang, "The inner sect elder, Fang Kunli, is Fang Danming's father."

Chapter 323 Su Mo Reaches Dharma

"Check this person," Zhou Donghuang said flatly.

"If he is clean, then don't touch him… but if he has done anything bad at all, strip him of his power and chase him out of the sect."

Although he had the authority to kill or save anyone in the Donghuang Sect with just a single word, Zhou Donghuang had no intention to do that.

For a sect to become stronger and united, it had to be as fair and as equal as possible.

As the Sect Leader, he had to lead by example, and not abuse his authority.

That way, he could then convince the rest of the sect to follow these practices.

"Yes."

Freezing Wind heeded the order respectfully, then quickly ordered Zhou Han and Zhou Feng to investigate Fang Kunli.

In the arena down below, the group of outer sect disciples heard Zhou Donghuang's words and knew immediately that Fang Kunli, the inner sect elder, was done for because he definitely had a history of abusing his authority.

At the same time, in Zhou Donghuang's eyes, they saw nothing but fury.

Even now, they could hardly believe what had happened.

The young man that was standing so close to them was in fact the mysterious leader of the Donghuang Sect that nobody had ever seen before. He was the most powerful person on the Ziyun planet!

"No wonder I thought he looked a little familiar just now… now that I think of it, he looks exactly the same as the statue in the square in the capital of the Donghuang Empire, but that the statue does not feel human at all, so I did not see the resemblance right away," laughed one of the outer sect disciples.

"Now that you mention it, I remember that statue too… although it resembles our Sect Leader, it looks nowhere near as majestic and fearsome as our Sect Leader himself."

"Majesty is not something that can be carved out of stone."

"In the few years since the Donghuang Sect was established, I have never heard of anyone seeing the Sect Leader himself… in fact, some people even said that Sect Leader had left the Ziyun planet. Who would have thought that he would appear here after a few years?"

…

Now, the group of outer sect disciples who were staring at the figure floating in mid-air finally understood why this man did not have an identity crest on him.

Why this man said that he was not a guest of the Donghuang Sect.

Why this man said that he was neither an inner sect disciple nor a core disciple of the Donghuang Sect…

In fact, he was the mysterious Donghuang Sect Leader who nobody had ever seen before. He was the faith of the Donghuang Empire itself!

Although their Sect Leader had never shown himself in the last few years, the legends that he created had never been surpassed.

At a young age, from a small town in a faraway land, he became the most powerful person on the Ziyun planet within ten years and established the Donghuang Sect. This man was recognized as the most powerful person on Ziyun.

"Zhou Donghuang…"

Hong Yunfei sat on the ground in shock as he looked at the figure in the sky, feeling as if his entire body was frozen cold.

Will he bother dealing with me?

Hong Yunfei was anxious.

It was only when Zhou Donghuang disappeared into thin air that Hong Yunfei finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"That's right… for someone of his level, if he were to bother dealing with our dispute, that would be unbecoming of his status.

Furthermore, although he had recognized me just now, he did not seem to harbor any hatred towards me. Perhaps he did not mean to deal with me in the first place."

As he thought of this, Hong Yunfei heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

At the same time, he could not help but laugh sadly. "To think that a few years ago, before I planned on joining the Donghuang Sect, I had wanted to look for him to thank him for killing Chen Dandan and for indirectly helping me get revenge.

And now, I do not even have the courage to meet him… much less thank him."

After taking in a deep breath, Hong Yunfei then relaxed his body that had originally frozen in fright. Then, he shakily tried to stand up.

"Senior Yunfei."

Xiao Yong, who had finally turned his gaze away from the spot Zhou Donghuang had disappeared from, finally regained his senses, and he rushed to Hong Yunfei's side to support him.

At the same time, he could not help but ask curiously, "Senior Yunfei, Sect Leader… seems to recognize you?

"You were also from the Yunfeng prefecture that Sect Leader came from in his youth… could it be that the two of you knew each other before?"

Xiao Yong was extremely curious about this.

Many other outer sect disciples in the surroundings now looked at Hong Yunfei with surprise.

Faced with the question from Xiao Yong, Hong Yunfei could only smile sadly.

Although that was not considered a huge secret, he still did not dare reveal it.

The leader of the Donghuang Sect clearly did not intend to deal with him regarding the matter of their past… however, other people may not be the same.

Some people could easily deal with him and kill him just to suck up to the Sect Leader.

He did not wish to be a target for anybody.

…

Zhou Donghuang's return to Ziyun planet came five years after he had last left the planet.

That period could not be considered long in the eyes of any successful adepts in the universe.

However, in the Ziyun planet, this was no short period of time.

For almost five years, the Ziyun planet was peaceful.

Of course, amidst the peace, the Donghuang Sect had also emerged from being beneath the Valley of the Medicine Masters to become powerful enough to stand alongside the premier sects of the Ziyun planet.

Before Zhou Donghuang had left the Ziyun planet, the previous head of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, Su Mo, became the Deputy Sect Leader of the Donghuang Sect. He represented Zhou Donghuang in handling all the affairs of the Donghuang Sect, no matter how small.

Later, after Su Mo had taken care of most of the matters in the Donghuang Sect, law and order in the Donghuang Sect were becoming more powerful with each passing day. Su Mo then left and handed the Donghuang Sect to Freezing Wind after seeking the permission of Zhou Donghuang's mother, Lin Lan.

Su Mo himself had shut himself behind closed doors to train. He was trying to reach the Dharma stage. He knew that he had the heavy responsibility of protecting the Donghuang Sect.

In the Donghuang Sect, the most powerful person was Su Mo.

The fact that Zhou Donghuang had left the Ziyun planet had been kept secret by the Donghuang Sect. They did not share the news and did not dare to do so. They were afraid that the other premier sects on the Ziyun planet would have ill intentions towards the Donghuang Sect if they were aware that Zhou Donghuang was not present to protect it.

After all, the fortune that the Donghuang Sect had was a great temptation for the other sects.

The Donghuang Peak that the Donghuang Sect was based at contained a formation that was left behind by Zhou Donghuang. Even though that could protect the sect, the moment the spirit stones that supported the formation were exhausted, the formation would become useless.

The Donghuang Sect needed someone strong enough to be able to protect it.

In such circumstances, Su Mo felt immense pressure. After handing the Donghuang Sect over to Freezing Wind, he shut himself behind closed doors to train and rarely appeared before anyone.

In fact, among those who had entered the Donghuang Sect later, many did not even know of Su Mo, the previous Deputy Sect Leader.

Su Mo seemed to have vanished for most people.

"Just one more step."

One a cliff on the Donghuang Peak, there was a cave that had been opened by someone. This was the site where Su Mo had been practicing.

Now, a white figure had appeared quietly at the mouth of the cave, and he looked calmly at the middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on a platform.

The white figure was none other than Zhou Donghuang.

Zhou Donghuang could sense that Su Mo's level of skill was now trapped at the final step of the ultimate Primal Core stage.

Furthermore, he had been stuck there for a long time.

Whoosh!

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Donghuang retrieved an elixir from the space ring in his hands. With a flick of his fingers, the elixir flew out and landed in Su Mo's mouth, entering his body.

Just as Su Mo felt the elixir entering his body, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes opened slightly. Zhou Donghuang spoke up, "Focus entirely on practicing, continue using the Thousand-Star Sword Technique, I will help you out!"

"Master?"

From the voice alone, Su Mo could tell who was speaking to him. It was none other than his master who had left the Ziyun planet almost five years ago.

His master was back!

Su Mo felt a wave of emotion.

However, he felt a gush of energy enter his body and start working the inner Yuan within him. Immediately, he calmed himself down and began practicing the Thousand-Star Sword Technique again with all his energy.

After the inner Yuan cycled once throughout his body, Su Mo tried to break through the final step of the ultimate Primal Core stage once again.

In the past, he had tried to break through this stage countless times but had failed each time.

He even had a fear of it. But now, with the help of his master, he no longer had any fears but was filled with overwhelming confidence instead.

Boom!!

As his inner Yuan broke through the final bottleneck, even though Su Mo had mentally prepared himself, he still could not help but feel ecstatic.

He had finally broken through!

He, Su Mo, had finally reached the Dharma stage!

"Much thanks to Master."

Ignoring the tumultuous inner Yuan within his body at that moment, Su Mo opened his eyes instantly and stood up to thank Zhou Donghuang.

However, with just his hand, Zhou Donghuang pressed down on his shoulder like a mountain, and forced him back down. "Continue to focus on your practice. The elixir that I gave you still has a lot of effect, and it will be enough to allow you to lay the foundations of the early Dharma stage. I will help you."

For the next two days, Zhou Donghuang stayed by Su Mo's side and helped him solidify the foundations of the early Dharma stage that he had just reached.

After two days, Su Mo had laid the solid foundations for the early Dharma stage, and when he opened his eyes again, his face was filled with immense emotion.

"Thank you, Master."

Su Mo fell to his knees and thanked the white figure who was standing at the mouth of the cave with his hands behind his back. His tone was filled with immense gratitude.

Zhou Donghuang stood at the mouth of the cave at the side of the cliff and stared out at the white clouds.

"It has been hard on you these past few years."

Zhou Donghuang turned around and looked at Su Mo. With a wave of his hands, an invisible force lifted Su Mo up to his feet.

"Not at all, not at all."

Feeling this invisible force that he couldn't resist, Su Mo was immensely shocked.

He believed that now he had reached the Dharma stage, even if he was not on par with his master, he was definitely closer to him than before.

But now, he realized that that had been wishful thinking on his part.

In less than five years, when he now faced his master again, he felt like a dwarf standing in front of a giant.

This was not how he had felt five years ago.

"Master, you… what stage are you at now?" Su Mo could not help but ask.

He really wanted to know…if there was a mistake in his judgement or if he was right.

"Ultimate Primordial Soul stage."

Zhou Donghuang's voice was unbelievably calm.

Chapter 324: Death of the Golden-Crowned Eagles

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

Before Zhou Donghuang could open his mouth, Su Mo's mind was already running through the ridiculous possibilities, including whether this master of his could have already entered the Primordial Soul stage?

Otherwise, why would he look like one?

In Su Mo's opinion, his master actually entering the early Primordial Soul stage was already an unbelievable feat. After all, when his master had left the Ziyun planet back then, he had not even reached the Dharma stage.

In less than five years, he went from the Primal Core stage to the early Primordial Soul stage, surpassing the four stages of the Dharma stage. This was already an incredible feat in Su Mo's eyes.

Su Mo did not even consider if his master had achieved more than that.

But now…

"Ultimate… ultimate Primordial Soul stage?"

When Su Mo heard Zhou Donghuang's calm answer, he was stunned beyond belief.

Of course, despite being frozen in shock, his mind was still racing with thoughts…

The ultimate Primordial Soul stage?

Besides transcending the four Dharma stages, he had also transcended the three stages of the Primordial Soul stage? And in less than five years!?

How… did his master achieve that?

At this moment, Su Mo could very clearly hear his heart beating louder than ever before.

Just as Su Mo barely managed to regain his senses, Zhou Donghuang's calm voice sounded out once again.

"Even though I am only at the ultimate Primordial Soul stage, if I wanted to kill a regular early Divine Transformation adept, that would not be a problem at all."

Su Mo once again entered a state of shock, his heart beating faster again after having just calmed down slightly.

By the time Su Mo regained his senses again, he had realized that his master had already left, and there was no point in him continuing to hang around in the cave.

After all, the reason he had shut himself in there was to train to reach the Dharma stage.

Now that he had already successfully broken through, there was naturally no more need for him to stay.

…

"Xiao Lu, where are Big Gold and Little Gold?"

After leaving Su Mo's self-isolation cave, Zhou Donghuang arrived at the home of his mother, Lin Lan, and his little sister, Yun Lu. After taking a seat by the stone table in the courtyard, he carried Yun Lu into his arms and cheerfully said, "On this trip back, other than at Lu Qinghu's side sect, I did not see them anywhere else."

Big Gold and Little Gold were the two golden-crowned eagles that Zhou Donghuang had taken in years ago. When he had left the Ziyun planet, the two eagles had also successfully become Primal Core demons.

"Brother, those two rascals would often venture outside for no good reason, and every time they left, they'd be gone anywhere from ten days to half a month… but this time, it seems that they have been gone longer than usual."

Yun Lu frowned, saying, "In the past, when they left, they never stayed out for more than a month… but this time, it has already been two months, but they are still not back yet.

"They left before Sister Mengxi and Brother Da Zhuang came."

After hearing Yun Lu's words, Zhou Donghuang nodded, and asked, "Which stage are they at now? Have they been slacking off?"

"A few months ago, they just broke through to the ultimate Primal Core stage," Yun Lu replied.

"Already reached the ultimate Primal Core stage?"

Zhou Donghuang nodded and smiled in satisfaction. "Seems like they have not been slacking off. Given their training, if the two of them stick together, they would be powerful enough to go anywhere they wanted to on the Ziyun planet… furthermore, those few sects with Golden Essence adepts also know of them, so even if they were to meet, I don't think those clans would try to do anything to them."

Yun Lu giggled and said, "Exactly, those two rascals rely on this fact to frequently leech off the food and drinks of those sects… they will even grab a few of their spirit stones on their way out."

"This sounds like something they would do."

Zhou Donghuang laughed along.

…

The Ziyun planet had five main elite sects.

They were the Donghuang Sect, Shenguang Sect, Qianqiu Sect, Tianwu Sect, and the Xuesha Sect.

And before the emergence of the Donghuang Sect, the Ziyun planet also had five top tier sects, with the additional one being the Xuanyin Sect. However, it was extinguished by Zhou Donghuang.

The Xuesha Sect, being one of the Ziyun planet's top five sects, also had a long history.

However, during that fateful Ziyun feast five years ago, the Xuesha Sect lost one of their late Primal Core adepts, who unfortunately was also the Xuesha Sect Leader.

After that incident, the Xuesha Sect's status amongst the Ziyun planet's top five fell to the bottom.

Even on a daily basis, when the Xuesha Sect disciples were out, they felt a sense of inferiority to the disciples of the other four sects. This was due to the Xuesha Sect's most powerful adepts still being weaker than those of the other sects.

The Xuesha Sect's territory resided within a plain of grass. The grass in this plain was all blood red in color, and when looked at from afar, the entire plain looked as if it has been soaked in blood.

This place has also been named the "Blood Plains." Anyone who trespassed into this territory would face a terrible outcome.

At this moment, within the backyard of one of the mansions in the Xuesha Sect camp, stood an extremely scrawny old man in a grey shirt. He sat cross-legged amidst an open space, and one could very clearly see blood flowing through his entire body.

The streams of blood arose from the two large corpses as lying in the courtyard.

One could see the stream of blood slowly becoming weaker.

When the last stream of blood entered the old man's body, a breath of life trembled through him, and he immediately came to life.

At the same time, a part of his originally white long hair miraculously turned black.

His skinny body also began to grow, as though being inflated like a balloon. He fully regained a normal physique, and he even looked somewhat strong.

His old and skinny face also underwent tremendous change. Not only did it regain some fat, but it also became younger, like that of a middle-aged man.

"I can't believe there was a blessing in disguise that allowed me to break through to the Primordial Soul stage."

A smile hung on his lips as the old man looked at the two mountain-like corpses that lay on the floor as his eyes shined. "These two ultimate Primal Core golden-crowned eagles were definitely a huge boost to me!"

Months ago, as he was trying to reach the Primordial Soul stage, he was chased out of his galaxy by his enemy. Amidst his aimless escape, he had unexpectedly landed on this planet.

He thought that he would definitely die, but who would have known that he would successfully reach the Primordial Soul stage and gain another 400 years of life.

What was once his weak and feeble old body was now rejuvenated and retained the vigor of youth.

"The fact that these two small golden-crowned eagles trained until they reached the ultimate Primal Core stage while being on a planet with such a weak aura and poor standards of martial arts—that is really quite a miracle!

"It seems that Zhou Donghuang of that supposed Donghuang Sect must have precious kind of treasure.

"Before I leave this lackluster planet, I shall take a stroll around Donghuang Sect and destroy all that Zhou Donghuang established," the old man gleefully murmured to himself, his eyes gleaming with greed.

But right at this moment—

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Three silhouettes appeared out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in the backyard. They each respectfully bowed towards the old man, saying "Congratulations Senior, for successfully reaching the Primordial Soul stage!"

These three men consisted of two elders of the Xuesha Sect, as well as the new Xuesha Sect Leader, who was chosen after the previous one was killed by Zhou Donghuang a few years ago.

Of the three of them, one was at the late Primal Core stage, while the other two were at the ultimate Primal Core stage.

Three months ago, this old man before them, severely injured and ill, had appeared on the Blood Plains of the Xuesha Sect territory.

Back then, they could have killed this old man.

However, the old man had said that he was an ultimate Dharma adept and that if they saved him, he was willing to impart the secret skill of absorbing the blood and essence of demons.

At the same time, after he recovered from his injuries, he could help them unify the entire the Ziyun planet.

They were convinced.

Therefore, after a brief discussion, they not only took in the old man, but even provided him with a large number of demons to allow him to absorb their essences to recover.

One month ago, the old man fully recovered from his injury.

Right at this time, the two golden-crowned eagles of the Donghuang Sect once again came to the Xuesha Sect.

In the past, even though the Xuesha Sect elders were frustrated with the two golden-crowned eagles' presumptuous ways within the Xuesha Sect, they were helpless. They couldn't kill the eagles and were even afraid of hurting them.

They could only allow the two eagles to continue their arrogant behavior within the Xuesha Sect.

However, this time around, they did not intend to let the two golden-crowned eagles off, and they sought the help of the old man to kill the two golden crowned eagles.

The old man was already close to breaking through to the Primordial Soul stage, and with the help of the blood of these two ultimate Primal Core golden-crowned eagles, the old man finally succeeded.

There had never been a Primordial Soul adept in the history of the Ziyun planet, but one had just been produced in the Xuesha Sect!

"What I have promised you, I will definitely not go back on my word."

The old man looked indifferently at the three of them from the Xuesha Sect and said, "Tomorrow, you'll bring me to annihilate the other three sects, excluding the Donghuang Sect.

"I will help you kill all the adepts of those three sects who are at the late Primal Core stage and up.

"Finally, I will go to the Donghuang Sect and kill all the late Primal Core adepts of the Donghuang Sect, as well as the Donghuang Sect Leader, Zhou Donghuang!

"However, whatever treasure that Zhou Donghuang has, that will be left to me."

The moment the old man finished speaking, the eyes of the three Xuesha Sect members lit up, and they said, "Senior, the fact that you can help us kill the late Primal Core adepts of the other four sects is already a huge blessing to us, how could we dare ask for more?"

"Only a senior of your status is worthy of Zhou Donghuang's treasure."

…

At the same time, the three of them did not forget to remind the old man that Zhou Donghuang was not an easy target. "Senior, five years ago, Zhou Donghuang killed an early Dharma adept when he was only at the late Primal Core stage.

"Given his progress, he most likely has already reached the Dharma stage, and as for which stage he is currently at, we are unsure. So Senior, it is better that you be careful."

The old man was nonchalant. "That early Dharma adept had only just reached the Dharma stage when he was killed, and he did not have the chance to perfect his Dharma Power yet… furthermore, he had no Dharma spirit weapons with him.

"As for me, even though I have only just reached the Primordial Soul stage, I have a Primordial Soul spirit weapon with me, and it is a mid-quality spirit weapon!"

The old man was full of pride and confidence, "You should rest assured… Zhou Donghuang will not stand a chance against me!"

Chapter 325: Visitor From Beyond?

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

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Zhou Donghuang had stayed on the Ziyun planet, visiting the Donghuang Sect for almost a month.

During that month, Zhou Donghuang distributed all the useful items he had gained from the various galaxies and planets he had previously visited to all the people around him.

There were spirit stones, spirit fruits and core drugs.

In that one month, he did not leave the Donghuang Sect at all. Besides spending his time practicing, he spent the rest of his time accompanying his mother, Lin Lan, and his sister, Yun Lu.

"Brother… another month has passed, but Big Gold and Little Gold have not returned yet. Do you think something has happened to them?" Yun Lu asked as she looked at Zhou Donghuang worriedly.

She would only feel less anxious with Zhou Donghuang's words of assurance.

"Don't worry," Zhou Donghuang smiled and said. "Just like what you said, they have already reached the ultimate Primal Core stage… as two great Golden Essence demons, no one among the other four top tier sects of the Ziyun planet would have the power to stop them.

"Even if those sects somehow produced a Dharma adept, they would still not risk taking on Big Gold and Little Gold.

"I am sure they haven't forgotten that I killed a Dharma adept five years ago. I bet the two of them encountered something interesting while they were gallivanting outside and forgot about the time…

"When they come back, I will help you teach them a lesson and ensure that they will never be so playful again."

Zhou Donghuang's facial expression turned serious as he spoke.

"Brother, I won't allow you to bully them." Yun Lu sat at a stone table with her hands on her waist as she spoke to Zhou Donghuang with a serious expression.

"You are now a Primordial Soul adept. What if you lose control of your strength while punishing them and end up hurting them?"

"Haha… Xiao Lu, they are tougher than you imagine." Zhou Donghuang laughed.

"Also, with a higher level of practice, one will also have better control over one's strength… So you need not worry about me not being able to control my strength."

"I still won't allow it." Yun Lu shook her head angrily. "While you were gone all these years, they were the ones who played with me. They are my good friends, so you can't bully them."

"Alright, alright, I won't, I won't."

Zhou Donghuang reached out to pinch Yun Lu's puffed up cheeks and smiled helplessly.

"Brother will listen to Xiao Lu, alright?"

"You're the best."

Yun Lu jumped into Zhou Donghuang's arms and hugged him as a radiant smile appeared on her adorable face.

"Young Master, are you around?"

Suddenly, they heard an anxious voice coming from outside the courtyard.

"Come in."

Hearing the voice, Zhou Donghuang could immediately tell that it came from Freezing Wind. Freezing Wind entered with a solemn expression on his face.

"Young Master."

In public, Freezing Wind would address Zhou Donghuang respectfully as "Sect Leader," but in private, he would still address him as "Young Master."

"Just now, an elder from the Shenguang Sect, who was seriously injured, rushed over to our sect, saying that he wanted to meet you… Upon meeting me, he told me to give you a message before taking his last breath.

"I could tell that he had tried very hard to hold on to his last breath while rushing over. Without such strong determination, he would have died on the way here."

A few years ago, only people close to Zhou Donghuang were aware of his departure from the Ziyun planet. Everyone else on the Ziyun planet was unaware that he had left.

Of course, as Zhou Donghuang had not appeared in the past few years, it was possible that people would raise suspicions of whether he had left the Ziyun planet.

The fact that the Ziyun planet had very little Spirit energy was a known fact to the public. In outer space, there were many planets with more Spirit energy and resources than the Ziyun planet.

All the people who had their suspicions would have thought that someone with such talent like Zhou Donghuang would never be willing to continue his practice on the Ziyun planet.

This was why they believed that the probability of Zhou Donghuang leaving the Ziyun planet was very high.

"What is the matter?"

Zhou Donghuang's expression became more serious. An elder from the Shenguang Sect with such severe injuries rushed over to see him at the Donghuang Sect?

It was difficult to imagine what would have caused an elder from the Shenguang Sect to do such a thing.

To the Shenguang Sect, their impression of Zhou Donghuang was relatively good.

After all, the land that the Donghuang Sect was residing on belonged to the Shenguang Sect.

"He said that the Shenguang Sect was extinguished… and it was done by people from the Xuesha Sect!"

As Freezing Wind spoke, his expression turned even more serious as he remembered something.

"The Xuesha Sect?" Zhou Donghuang frowned. "Didn't you tell me that ever since I killed the Sect Leader of the Xuesha Sect, the Xuesha Sect had become the bottom of the top five tier sects on the Ziyun planet?

"The Xuesha Sect has the ability to extinguish the Shenguang Sect?"

In Zhou Donghuang's opinion, even if he had not killed the Xuesha Sect Leader a few years back, it still would have been impossible for them to have the same ability as the Shenguang Sect.

If this was true, there had to be something that he was not aware of.

Freezing Wind's expression became more solemn as he nodded with dread. His tone became even more anxious as he continued, "The elder from the Shenguang Sect also told me that when the Xuesha Sect arrived at the Shenguang Sect, they were not led by the current Xuesha Sect Leader and the two Golden Essence elders.

"The current Xuesha Sect Leader and their two Golden Essence elder adepts were following a middle-aged man with gray hair and who was dressed in a long, gray robe.

"When the middle-aged man in the gray robe appeared, he easily killed the Shenguang Sect Leader! After that, every single one of the Golden Essence elders of the Shenguang Sect were killed!"

As Freezing Wind spoke, he looked at Zhou Donghuang. "Young Master, even for an early Dharma adept, it would be impossible for him to do that, right?"

Zhou Donghuang frowned. "The Xuesha Sect has adepts with such abilities?"

"The elder from the Shenguang Sect said that the man in the grey robe did not seem to be from the Xuesha Sect as the Xuesha Sect Leader and the two Golden Essence elders of the Xuesha Sect all addressed him as "Senior…" If he was from the Xuesha Sect, he would definitely be their junior, and they would not address him in such a way," Freezing Wind replied.

"Not someone from the Xuesha Sect?" Zhou Donghuang frowned.

"Seems like it may be an adept from outside the Ziyun planet."

"Brother."

Just then, Yun Lu, who was in Zhou Donghuang's arms, started speaking in an anxious tone.

"Could this adept from outside the Ziyun planet be related to Big Gold and Little Gold's disappearance?

"Before Big Gold and Little Gold left, they told me they were planning on visiting the Xuesha Sect."

As Yun Lu spoke, her expression grew more worried.

Upon hearing her words, Zhou Donghuang's expression also started to change.

"Young Master, the last words of the elder from the Shenguang Sect were, 'The Xuesha Sect's target was not only the Shenguang Sect, the Xuesha Sect wants to dominate the Ziyun planet with the help of that man!'"

Freezing Wind's expression grew dark. "Young Master, could the ability of that man possibly be stronger than yours and Senior He Jin?"

"Probably not." Zhou Donghuang shook his head.

"Not only is it rare for the Ziyun planet to have adepts who have reached the Primordial Soul stage and beyond… but even in neighboring galaxies, there are only just a few Primordial Soul adepts, and rarely anyone reaches the Divine Transformation stage and above.

"That person is probably an extremely powerful Dharma adept or a Primordial Soul adept."

Considering the situation of the galaxies around the Ziyun planet, Zhou Donghuang had his own deductions as to where this visitor from beyond had come from.

"Do you know the location of the Xuesha Sect?" Zhou Donghuang asked Freezing Wind as he stood up and carried Yun Lu in his arms.

"Yes." Freezing Wind nodded.

"Follow me to meet the Valley Head."

Following closely behind, Freezing Wind accompanied Zhou Donghuang to meet He Jin. On the way there, he did not forget to comfort Yun Lu, who seemed restless in Zhou Donghuang's arms. "Xiao Lu, don't worry… Big Gold and Little Gold will be alright."

Though he was comforting Yun Lu, his heart could not help but sink as he had a bad feeling.

If not for the appearance of a Dharma adept or above on the Ziyun planet, he would not have been worried about Big Gold and Little Gold being outside.

However, now that he knew a person who had the power to easily kill a Golden Essence adept had arrived, he could not help but be worried.

"Donghuang, is there something going on?"

Upon seeing Zhou Donghuang hurrying over, He Jin's expression turned serious. "Has the Qi Dynasty found us?"

"No."

After hearing He Jin's words, Zhou Donghuang's appeared less anxious. "I only told Third Sister about the existence of the Ziyun planet, nobody else.

"It was impossible for anyone to follow me when I returned here… If someone with weaker abilities had tried to follow me, I would definitely have found out. If the person had stronger abilities than me, there would be no need to follow me as they could have just directly killed me," explained Zhou Donghuang.

"So why have you come here?"

When He Jin heard his words, he realized that he had made a big fuss over nothing. If the Qi Dynasty had known that they were at the Ziyun planet, they would not have waited until then to find them.

"Valley Head, it seems like a visitor at the Dharma stage or higher has arrived on the Ziyun planet, and they've formed an alliance with the Xuesha Sect. I would like you and Freezing Wind to visit the Xuesha Sect and find out the truth.

"As for me, I plan on staying and protecting the Donghuang Sect. With the current information that I have, it seems like the person may visit the Donghuang sect at any time," Zhou Donghuang said.

"Alright, I will go." He Jin nodded.

He knew that for a planet with such weak resources, a Dharma adept would easily have the ability to dominate if the they didn't intervene.

With He Jin's incredible speed as a Divine Transformation adept, he was back with Freezing Wind in less than an hour.

However, both He Jin and Freezing Wind had terrible expressions on their faces.

"What is the matter?"

Zhou Donghuang had a bad feeling.

Freezing Wind looked at Yun Lu, who was in Zhou Donghuang's arms. Before he could look away, Yun Lu could sense that something was wrong.

"Uncle Freezing Wind, did something… did something happen to Big Gold and Little Gold?" Yun Lu looked at Freezing Wind anxiously as she asked.

Chapter 326: Enemy Attack

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

Faced with Yun Lu's anxious questions, Freezing Wind's expression turned even more ugly. He turned to look at Zhou Donghuang as if there was something he wanted to say but was unsure about.

"Go ahead," said Zhou Donghuang seriously.

"Young Master."

Freezing Wind took in a deep breath and said, "Senior He Jin and I headed to the Xuesha Sect, and found that all the adepts who were above the Primal Core stage had left, and…"

At this point, Freezing Wind paused momentarily before continuing, "Behind the courtyard in a corner of the Xuesha Sect, I also found the decayed carcasses of two flying beasts. From the shape of their wings and their body sizes, I thought that they could have been Big Gold and Little Gold."

The moment Freezing Wind's words left his mouth, Yun Lu burst into tears. Then, her cries suddenly stopped, and she collapsed into Zhou Donghuang's arms.

After confirming that his sister had only fainted, Zhou Donghuang heaved a sigh of relief, but his eyes were furious.

"To confirm this, I grabbed some Xuesha Sect disciples nearby and questioned them, and they confirmed the identity of Big Gold and Little Gold.

"Because Big Gold and Little Gold had gone to the Xuesha Sect many times in the past and frightened many of the Xuesha Sect's disciples, most of the Xuesha Sect disciples recognized them.

"A while ago, a powerful adept had appeared in the Xuesha Sect, and even the Sect Leader and the Golden Essence elders of the Xuesha Sect were all very respectful towards him.

"Some time ago, Big Gold and Little Gold headed to the Xuesha Sect again, and the Xuesha Sect Leader asked for help from that powerful adept in killing both Big Gold and Little Gold.

"I was told that he used just two blows to kill them."

Freezing Wind took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Donghuang with a tinge of worry.

"Young Master, please accept my condolences," he comforted.

Freezing Wind was well aware of the relationship that Zhou Donghuang shared with Big Gold and Little Gold.

Their relationship was nothing less than the relationship Yun Lu had with the two eagles.

Zhou Donghuang looked at He Jin.

At the same time that Zhou Donghuang turned towards He Jin, He Jin added, "From the injuries that they sustained, it was definitely the act of an ultimate Dharma adept.

"After they died, all their essence was taken away, and it was definitely used to aid someone who had practiced an evil technique."

He Jin shared what he had found out.

"Ultimate Dharma stage?"

Zhou Donghuang's eyes flashed coldly. Just an ultimate Dharma adept, but being so arrogant and acting in such an unrestrained manner on the Ziyun planet… and even killing Big Gold or Little Gold!

"Big Gold, Little Gold…"

Zhou Donghuang was reminded of how he had first met the two golden-crowned eagles in the past and the times that he had spent with them. The fury in Zhou Donghuang's eyes grew like flames burning in a field, growing brighter and brighter!

"Someone is here."

Zhou Donghuang was still reminiscing the times he had spent with the two golden-crowned eagles when He Jin seemed to have noticed something, and he suddenly looked into the sky.

Upon hearing him, Zhou Donghuang turned to look up right away. With his senses, he easily discovered a group of people approaching from beyond the clouds.

The same time that Zhou Donghuang discovered them, a voice traveled in from a distance, "Donghuang Sect Leader, Zhou Donghuang, I heard that you are the most powerful person on the Ziyun planet, so I have come to learn from you!"

When they finished speaking, the group of people had already broken through the clouds, and they were led by a middle-aged man dressed in a long, gray robe. The party appeared in the skies beside the Donghuang Peak.

"It is the new leader of the Xuesha Sect, and the two Golden Essence elders of the Xuesha Sect!"

Even from this distance, Freezing Wind was able to identify the three men standing behind the man in gray.

"Young Master, the man standing in front must be the one who killed Big Gold and Little Gold."

Freezing Wind looked again at the man standing in front, his eyes filled with a murderous glint.

Whoosh!

The moment that the words left Freezing Wind's mouth, Zhou Donghuang took Yun Lu, who had fainted in his arms, up into the skies. Instantly, he appeared in front of the party from the Xuesha Sect led by the man in the gray robe.

The next instant, He Jin and Freezing Wind had both appeared behind Zhou Donghuang.

"Sect Leader."

At the same time, Su Mo had also appeared with a gush of wind, dressed in his scholarly robes. Behind him, Zhou Han and Zhou Feng had also appeared.

Besides them, many other figures came flying in from all directions.

Among them were He Mengxi and Da Zhuang.

In fact, even Lin Lan, Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei had all appeared.

In the last few years, Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei have been staying at the Donghuang Sect, training hard in order to catch up with Zhou Donghuang.

Now, just like Lin Lan, they were both Primal Core adepts who could fly.

Within just ten breaths, a huge group of people had gathered behind Zhou Donghuang, all made up of the highest-ranking people in the Donghuang Sect.

"Greetings, Sect Leader."

The group of them bowed in greeting to Zhou Donghuang, who was standing in front of them. Their tone was reverent.

At this time, people had gathered from everywhere. Any space that could be stood on was now filled with someone.

These people were all disciples of the Donghuang Sect.

"Is that the mysterious leader of the Donghuang Sect who nobody has ever seen before?"

The eyes of the Donghuang Sect disciples were locked on Zhou Donghuang's back, their gazes filled with excitement.

Every single Donghuang Sect disciple viewed Zhou Donghuang, their Sect Leader, as an idol.

Even if they had never seen him before, this did nothing to dampen their devotion towards him because Zhou Donghuang's reputation on the Ziyun planet was simply that impressive!

Not only was Zhou Donghuang the youngest Primal Core adept born on the Ziyun planet, but he was also widely recognized as the most powerful person on the entire planet!

"Zhou Donghuang…"

Hong Yunfei was a part of the crowd. As he looked at the young man in white floating a distance away, his expression was complicated.

Since Zhou Donghuang was not calculative and had not taken revenge on him last time, he guessed that Zhou Donghuang probably wouldn't find trouble with him anymore.

However, that was only a guess on his part.

After that incident, he was still worried about Zhou Donghuang, and it was only recently that his worry had lessened.

"Who would have thought that someone would dare to come to our Donghuang Sect and challenge our Sect Leader. Are they doubting the strength of our Sect Leader?"

Now, not only were most of the Donghuang Sect disciples thinking this way, even some of the elders of the Donghuang Sect who were floating behind Zhou Donghuang also thought this.

"Who is this person? Our Sect Leader is clearly the most powerful person on the Ziyun planet, but this person is here to challenge him!"

Many people looked curiously at the man standing in front of the Xuesha Sect people. His long gray hair fell behind him.

Behind this middle-aged man was an old man dressed in red, his face radiant, as well as two other aged men.

"It's the Xuesha Sect Leader, Wang Jin! At his side are the two Golden Essence elders of the Xuesha Sect, Xue Chan and Meng Yidong!"

Among the high ranks of the Donghuang Sect, someone had quickly recognized the three people behind the man in the gray robe. They were none other than the strongest and highest-ranking people of the Xuesha Sect.

At the same time, many other people of the Donghuang Sect also realized that the three from the Xuesha Sect were all sect elders.

And all of them were Primal Core adepts.

"They're from the Xuesha Sect!"

"This Xuesha Sect has always been known as the weakest among the top five sects of the Ziyun planet. How dare they come and challenge our Donghuang Sect! Are they out of their minds?"

"Who is the man in gray? Even the Xuesha Sect Leader and the two Golden Essence elders are all so courteous towards him and even standing behind him."

"He… could he be the backing of the Xuesha Sect?"

…

After realizing that the group of people behind the man in gray were from the Xuesha Sect, the elders and disciples of the Donghuang Sect were all fuming.

Many people now turned to look at the man in gray standing in front.

Some old Donghuang Sect elders were the first to become wary.

"The Xuesha Sect Leader and the two Golden Essence elders definitely would not come to seek death… they are here with unfriendly intentions."

"Who exactly is this man standing in front?"

After a moment, many Donghuang Sect elders looked at the man again, curious as to his identity.

Just now, it was this man who had challenged their Donghuang Sect Leader.

"Zhou Donghuang, we meet again."

At this time, Wang Jin, the Xuesha Sect Leader who was standing behind the man in gray, now glared at Zhou Donghuang with eyes filled with hatred.

He declared through clenched teeth, "In the past, you killed my senior… today, our Xuesha Sect will avenge his death!"

"Your senior?"

Zhou Donghuang glanced slightly at the man but could not remember if he had seen him before.

Perhaps he had seen the man in Xuanyan City during the Ziyun Feast back then?

"The Xuesha Sect Leader who you killed five years ago in Xuanyan City!" yelled Wang Jin coldly.

"Oh, it's him. I remember now." Zhou Donghuang nodded, then simply said, "So you are here today… just to challenge me?"

"Of course not," Wang Jin answered arrogantly. "Today, we are here to annihilate your entire Donghuang Sect!

"Come to think of it, because of you, your Donghuang Sect was very fortunate that we came here as our last stop.

"The Qianqiu Sect, the Shenguang Sect and the Tianwu Sect have all been destroyed by our Xuesha Sect! From this day on, our Xuesha Sect will rule over the entire Ziyun planet and be the sole power on this planet!"

As he spoke, Wang Jin's eyes shone brightly.

Hearing his words, Freezing Wind, He Jin and the rest were all taken aback, their expressions changing.

"The Xuesha Sect destroyed the Qianqiu Sect, the Shenguang Sect and the Tianwu Sect? Is this for real?"

"From the looks of Wang Jin, the Xuesha Sect Leader, he seems to be speaking the truth."

"Is the Xuesha Sect even capable of doing that?"

"Maybe not in the past… but now, it's possible. After all, this group takes this man in gray as their leader, and this man had said that he wanted to challenge our Sect Leader."

"He can't be a simple man… he is very likely a Dharma adept!"

"So what if he is a Dharma adept? Five years ago, our Sect Leader had killed a Dharma adept. After five years, his powers must have gotten even stronger with his talent and skill."

"It was no secret that back in the day, our Sect Leader killed a Dharma adept, and his martial arts talent is also known to all. For the Xuesha Sect to come here, they must really have a lot of confidence in this man in front."

Chapter 327: Destruction of a Primordial Soul

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

Hearing the Xuesha Sect Leader, Wang Jin, claim that they had already annihilated the Qianqiu Sect, the Shenguang Sect and the Tianwu Sect, the elders and disciples of the Donghuang Sect were all in a state of disbelief.

Soon, the gazes of everybody present landed on the man who stood in front of the Xuesha Sect people.

The man had a stocky build, and his long, flowing gray hair was let down behind his back. As he floated in the air, his gray robe billowed in the wind, giving one the impression that he was an other-worldly being looking down on all of them.

Just as Wang Jin, the Xuesha Sect Leader, was gleefully looking at changed expressions on the Donghuang Sect people's faces, Zhou Donghuang finally said calmly, "Rule over the entire Ziyun planet?

Since when did the Xuesha Sect have such power?"

Many of those from the Donghuang Sect silently heaved a sigh of relief at Zhou Donghuang's simple question, and they looked at him with expectation.

"We must trust our Sect Leader!"

"So what if the Xuesha Sect destroyed the Qianqiu Sect, the Shenguang Sect and the Tianwu Sect with the help of an outsider? We are the Donghuang Sect, nothing that the Qianqiu Sect, the Shenguang Sect or the Tianwu can compare with!"

"Exactly! Back then, if not for the fact that our Sect Leader had no intention of claiming the entire Ziyun planet, our Donghuang Sect would have dominated the other four sects, including the Xuesha Sect."

…

Many of those from the Donghuang Sect had blind faith in their leader, Zhou Donghuang.

Of course, there were some among the Donghuang Sect who were more realistic and thought, "Since the Xuesha Sect dares to come here, they must have faith in the abilities of this man."

"How powerful is this man? The Xuesha Sect really thinks that with his help, they can wipe out our Donghuang Sect."

"Will our Sect Leader be his match?"

…

Some of those from the Donghuang Sect were nervous as they considered the reality of the situation.

"Zhou Donghuang!"

Wang Jin, the Xuesha Sect Leader, looked at Zhou Donghuang and laughed coldly. He then turned to the man in gray who was standing with his back facing him. "Senior Ke You has already issued you a challenge, and you have yet to accept it.

"Don't waste time talking about meaningless things… if you do not accept the challenge, then make it clear.

"Of course, even if you do not accept the challenge, you are destined to die by the hands of Senior Ke You today!"

Wang Jin praised the man in the gray robe, Senior Ke You, to the skies.

"Him?"

Then, Zhou Donghuang finally looked at Wang Jin. His lips curled into a malicious smile as he asked, "Your name is Ke You? You were the one who killed the two golden-crowned eagles of our Donghuang Sect?"

Zhou Donghuang's tone turned cold, and the surrounding temperature in the atmosphere seemed to drop by a few degrees.

"Correct," Ke You looked up proudly and said. "Come to think of it, I ought to thank the two golden-crowned eagles of your Donghuang Sect. It was only because they provided me with enough essence that I was able to reach the Primordial Soul stage!"

As the words left his mouth, a huge Primordial Soul Power in his form appeared from Ke You's body. It looked like a massive mountain peak, so huge that it towered over everything else.

Within this Primordial Soul Power that was as massive as a mountain, Ke You stood in its midst, and with a wave of his hand, the Primordial Soul Power mirrored his actions.

As the Primordial Soul Power of Ke You appeared, the disciples and elders of the Donghuang Sect all looked on in horror as their hearts sank.

"Primordial Soul… he is a Primordial Soul adept!"

"Primordial Soul adepts are even more powerful than Dharma adepts. They can live for a thousand years, and the sheer power that they possess is nothing that any Dharma adept can compare to!"

"Our Ziyun planet has never produced any Primordial Soul adepts before."

"Accordingly, based on the training environment and resources of our Ziyun planet, it is simply impossible to produce any Primordial Soul adept… it would be difficult to even produce a Dharma adept."

"Even if our Sect Leader has already reached the Dharma stage, would he be a match for this Primordial Soul adept?"

…

In that instant, those of the Donghuang Sect who were realistic now looked on with despair.

As for those who had originally trusted Zhou Donghuang wholeheartedly, their faith also wavered at this point.

Although their Donghuang Sect Leader, Zhou Donghuang, was an extraordinary presence in the Ziyun planet, the environment and resources of the Ziyun planet still limited his growth no matter how extraordinarily talented he was.

In the past, they heard that their Sect Leader had left the Ziyun planet, but it was only now that they found out that their Sect Leader had not left and was still on Ziyun planet.

In that case, with the limited resources and environment of the Ziyun planet, even after five years, how much could their Sect Leader have improved?"

"How could he possibly be a Primordial Soul adept… the Ziyun planet could never produce a Primordial Soul adept!" cried a Donghuang Sect elder in shock.

Wang Jin, the Xuesha Sect Leader, heard the Donghuang Sect elder and could not help but laugh as he said, "The Ziyun planet definitely cannot produce a Primordial Soul adept. Senior Ke You is not from this planet.

"He is from beyond this planet and a distinguished guest of our Xuesha Sect… this time, after helping our Xuesha Sect to claim the entire Ziyun planet, he will leave.

"Although, with his power, Senior Ke You can easily dominate over the entire Ziyun planet on his own… but a planet as backward and as poor as Ziyun does not attract his fancy at all."

As he spoke, Wang Jin's smile grew even more radiant.

Hearing the words of Wang Jin, the expressions of everybody from the Donghuang Sect turned to despair…

From outside of this planet.

A Primordial Soul adept was now helping the Xuesha Sect destroy their Donghuang Sect.

What could the Donghuang Sect do about this?

"Mm, as long as you were the one who killed them."

Just as everybody from the Donghuang Sect was panicking, Zhou Donghuang spoke once again, his tone as calm as before. He was not surprised at all by the Primordial Soul Power that Ke You had just displayed.

"Didn't you find it weird… that you were not able to sense my level of skill?"

When Zhou Donghuang spoke once again, his lips curled into a smile of sarcasm.

Hearing this from Zhou Donghuang, Ke You's eyes narrowed as he asked in surprise, "You, you knew that I was trying to sense your level?"

Just now, he had indeed tried to sense Zhou Donghuang's level using his Divine Will, something that only Primordial Soul adepts and above had.

But he realized that he was unable to sense Zhou Donghuang's level of skill.

For something like that to occur, there could only be two reasons:

First, Zhou Donghuang had mastered a secret technique that masked his true level of skill so that Divine Will could not sense it.

The second possibility was that Zhou Donghuang's level of skill was even higher than his, and his Divine Will was not enough to sense it.

Without a second thought, he had assumed that it was the former.

After all, the environment and training resources on the Ziyun planet were simply too insufficient to produce any martial art adepts beyond the Primordial Soul stage… in fact, it would be difficult to produce even mid Dharma adepts!

Reaching the early Dharma stage on the Ziyun planet could be said to be an extraordinary feat.

But now, Zhou Donghuang had just pointed out that he knew Ke You had used his Divine Will to sense him out. Ke You now had a bad feeling creep up on him.

"Just an early Primordial Soul adept, and daring to act like this in front of my little brother, what a joke!"

He Mengxi, who had appeared beside He Jin, now looked at Ke You condescendingly with a smile of disdain.

As for Lin Lan, Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei, although they had always known that Zhou Donghuang was now extremely powerful and unafraid of the early Primordial Soul adept that was in front of him, their expressions were still dark at this point.

The line that Zhou Donghuang had said earlier had grabbed all their attention.

Something had happened to Big Gold and Little Gold?

When Ke You heard the words of He Mengxi, he looked at Zhou Donghuang with a look of disbelief, as if contemplating the truth of her words. His expression faltered slightly.

Zhou Donghuang finally took action.

In his left hand, he held on to his sister, Yun Lu. With a wave of his right hand, the Spirit energy in the space around him shook, and a fearsome gush of inner Yuan rose to the skies like a wave. Then it rushed down towards Ke You's Primordial Soul Power.

"Ah…"

Enveloped by the Zhou Donghuang's inner Yuan, Ke You felt as if his chest had been hit by a huge hammer. He felt suffocated, and he could not help but let out a low cry.

As he was crushed under the huge force that weighed down on him from above, he knew that if he were to allow this force to continue crushing him, even if he did not die, he would be severely injured!

"Destroy it!!"

A sword appeared in Ke You's hands. With his face turning red from the pressure, he injected inner Yuan into the weapon, which then ballooned.

At the same time, a sword had also appeared in the hands of Ke You's Primordial Soul Power. Under the control of Ke You, the sword pierced through the translucent inner Yuan that rushed down towards him.

All his force.

He did not dare to hold back at all.

At this moment, the crowd could not help but hold their breath as they stared unblinkingly at the scene before them, as if they were afraid to miss even the slightest detail.

Boom!!

A loud sound rolled across the skies like thunder.

At the same time, Ke You's Primordial Soul was knocked out of the skies, crumbling under the huge energy from the wave of inner Yuan.

With a light crack, the shaft of the sword in Ke You's hands cracked, with more cracks forming like a spider's web.

This sword was no ordinary sword; it was an inferior Primordial Soul spirit weapon.

"Wah…"

Ke You's body, which was withstanding the pressure, finally succumbed to it enormous force. He fell to the ground, his mouth spewing out blood.

It was only when Zhou Donghuang's hand waved away the inner Yuan in the sky that Ke You heaved a sigh of relief, but he was still gasping for air. The pride was lost from his eyes and was replaced by fear.

"Divine… a Divine Transformation adept… How could you possibly be a Divine Transformation adept!"

With just a wave of his hand and without the appearance of even a Primordial Soul Power, his inner Yuan alone could crush the inferior Primordial Soul spirit weapon in Ke You's hands.

Such a feat could not be achieved by any Primordial Soul adepts, or even ultimate Primordial Soul adepts!

Just as Ke You cried out in shock, the party from the Xuesha Sect now looked on with despair. Meanwhile, those from the Donghuang Sect were filled with shock and ecstasy.

Zhou Donghuang lightly patted the back of the young girl in his arms, and gently called to her, "Xiao Lu, wake up."

Yun Lu slowly woke up, but once she awoke, she broke into tears, crying, "Brother, Big Gold and Little Gold are dead, Big Gold and Little Gold are dead… I don't want them to die, I don't want them to be dead."

"Xiao Lu," Zhou Donghuang smiled and said, "none of us wanted them to die. But their deaths have already been set in stone.

"No, the man who killed them is in front of you… why don't you personally take revenge for Big Gold and Little Gold?"
