Chapter 782: Chapter 782: The World Is Stirred
Daolord Qi is notoriously infamous; if he seeks retribution against a school, truly, no one can stop him.
The Supreme Dao Ground does not have many disciples, just the two of them. Qi Daolin is not concerned about revenge from others, which is why he dares to make bold statements so forcefully.
At the mountain gate overgrown with weeds, where the foundation is cracked and broken tiles are scattered, the holy and distinct aura of the master and disciple shines through.
“Desolate has become the successor of the Supreme Dao Ground. With Daolord Qi’s announcement to the world, there should be fewer people targeting him from now on, right?”
“You’re wrong, there will still be those who will come after him, and most of them will be tough nuts to crack!”
“They wouldn’t dare openly, right?”
The cultivators from various schools discussed animatedly, their blood boiling from the great battle they had just witnessed. The defeat of the Protector of the Celestials Clan had a major impact.
Desolate becomes a well-known figure, proclaimed by the notorious Qi Daolin to be his disciple. This will surely spread across many great clans. It is uncertain if he will also become known as a “nefarious cultivator.”
The Celestials Clan felt the deepest loss, their faces pale as ash. This blow was too severe—the Celestial Gods were defeated and even the Protector lost two of his horns.
The mighty imperial family, how can they bear this?!
Everyone bowed their heads and clenched their fists; it was an immense humiliation. But what could they do? Would the senior Celestials take action? Yet he is about to enter the vast No-Man’s Land.
Meanwhile, some felt regret. If they had not coveted Shi Hao’s precious symbols and befriended him, things could have been entirely different.
Now it’s too late to say anything!
“Desolate, a mere youth, has brought calamity upon our clan’s Celestial Gods, injured the Protector, and slain our young elites—an utter disgrace!”
Some were filled with sorrow and regret, for such a result was simply too dreadful.
Yet no matter how furious they felt inside, they had to bow their heads and disguise it, otherwise Qi Daolin, not one to trifle with, might sweep them away just as easily.
Yun Xi stood atop a mountain peak, her long dress trailing on the ground fluttering, her face pale and pristine with a hint of melancholy, her dreamy eyes as if covered with a mist, her hair dancing in the wind. She stood there silently, lost in thought.
“Are you alright?” Shi Hao sent a message. Yun Xi had disregarded the consequences today to help him escape—he could not ignore that.
“I’m fine.” Yun Xi forced a smile. What she did today was “inappropriate,” not acting in the best interests of the Celestials Clan, but rather suspicious of conspiring with the enemy.
“Don’t return to the City of the Heavens.” Shi Hao said, to prevent her from being troubled by the Celestials Clan.
Yun Xi shook her head; her grandfather and relatives were there; how could she not return? Besides, she was ultimately a member of the Celestials Clan, and she would not betray her clan and leave.
“Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine. Some senior Celestials and Celestial Gods treat me well, they will understand my actions. Besides, not many are merging with the Heavenly Destiny Stone now.” Yun Xi did not continue her thought.
With You Yu severely weakened, she was set to become the strongest prodigy of the Celestials Clan. The imperial family wouldn’t sabotage itself; instead, they would provide guidance and cultivate her sense of belonging to the clan.
“Shall I go ahead and behead another one?” Shi Hao said as he looked around the crowd, seriously considering taking down another Celestial linked to the Heavenly Destiny Stone.
“Don’t!” Yun Xi was greatly startled.
“As long as you are alive, and as I am still in my prime, the Celestials Clan will not act rashly nor make any drastic moves,” Qi Daolin interjected, speaking to Shi Hao.
In the end, Yun Xi took one last look, her gaze full of loss, her fair and engaging face tinged with sorrow, her eyes misty with tears. She had not wished to come this far, but many things had already happened.
She waved her hand and quickly departed into the distance.
The Celestials Clan left, not daring to bluster here. If they dared utter harsh words, none would escape.
Thus, this storm comes to an end!
It could be said that the Celestials Clan suffered a catastrophic loss: the Divine Mine was destroyed, their high-ranking members defeated, True Gods and young supremes slain by Shi Hao, creating a truly shocking impression.
“After all, they were from the glorious past; no longer do they possess the might of old,” people sighed.
“Their splendor remains in the Primordial Ancients, not the imperial family of today.”
People gradually left one after another, the mountain terrain empties until finally silence was restored.
As the news spread, the Three Thousand States were shaken!
Some schools received the news at the first opportunity, all of them astonished. The youth Desolate has stirred such a huge commotion, even involving the notorious Qi Daolin.
The Celestials Clan suffered a complete loss of face.
“What a figure Desolate is, having slain Mingzi, beheaded the Sun God Vine, defeated the elders of the Holy Feather Clan, and struck down Lightning Child. And now, having vanquished the myths of the Heavenly Destiny Stone, how glorious are his battle achievements?”
Every corner was abuzz, and many cultivators across a multitude of states discussed the news.
For a while, the name Desolate rose in prominence across dozens, if not hundreds of states, drawing attention far and wide.
“Has he become a force to reckon with?” In an ancient Bronze Immortal Hall, vast and immense like a massive mountain, a young man sat cross-legged. His eyes suddenly snapped open, shooting out two cold bolts of light.
This was the Immortal Hall, said to be one of the oldest and most mysterious Dao lineages in the higher realms!
The Successor of Immortal Hall received the report, his gaze deep and his aura terrifying, far stronger than the “adult” from the Immortal Hall in the Primordial Heaven Secret Realm.
If someone were here, they would certainly be greatly shocked.
Although the two looked identical, there were essential differences; this person was too terrifying. As his eyes opened and closed, gold and silver symbols appeared incessantly, as if capable of seeing through the void.
Strand after strand of the aura of the road wafted from his body.
“Adult, there is no need for anger; he is by no means your rival,” an old servant said, his back adorned with golden armor, his aura astonishing. This was a top Divine Spirit, but he could only serve in the Immortal Hall.
“Call the Second Body back; as my representative in the world, his neglect of cultivation has been a disgrace to myself as well,” the young man said indifferently.
“Does the adult wish to?” The expression of the old servant changed. Was the main body going to kill the Second Body and then condense an even stronger one?
“I know you have a good relationship with him, but don’t worry. There’s no time now; I cannot continue to expend Primal Qi to split off another body,” the young man said coldly.
He stood up, looking out at the chaotic mist outside the Bronze Immortal Hall, and said, “Hundred Rivers Converge to the Sea, the grand battle of the talents from the Three Thousand States is about to begin, and I must become the strongest!”
The old servant trembled in his heart. He knew what the young man was planning to do.
“Isn’t the adult waiting any longer? Are you going to merge the two bodies now?”
“Correct, by merging the main body with the Second Body, I will enter ‘Immortal Ancient’ with the strongest posture and dominate the tides,” the young man said coldly with an invincible spirit of ‘who else but me’.
If outsiders heard this news, they would be petrified and find it unbelievable.
Outside, such a powerful Successor of Immortal Hall was actually just a relatively weak Second Body, not the True Body, which was truly terrifying and boundless.
“Many may have the illusion that I cannot be unrivaled in the world, that there are enemies in this era, let alone compared with those ancient monsters. I want to give them a surprise!” The main body of the Successor of Immortal Hall said coldly.
“With the adult’s heaven-sent talents, seldom seen since ancient times, you will surely sweep away all enemies across the heavens!” the old man said, flapping his golden armor behind him as strands of Dao energy diffused. He was very powerful, yet he could only serve here as a slave.
Outside the Bronze Immortal Hall, the chaotic mist swirled, and strands of the Mother Qi of Heaven and Earth converged, creating a shocking scene. This was the land to seize the fortunes of heaven and earth.
Ordinary people would be astonished if they were here.
And this place was where even the Sect Hierarchs of major schools wished to enter, to comprehend the ancient inscriptions and inheritances of the Immortal Humans, even if only for a few days within this ancient hall.
“Perhaps many people think that because those ancient monsters will emerge, I can’t even make it to the top ten or twenty. Heh!” the young man murmured to himself with a mocking expression on his face.
“The adult’s talents far exceed their imagination, and everyone will tremble when the time comes,” the old servant said.
He was not blindly flattering; this young man was indeed too strong. Just the main body alone going out was enough to overturn heaven and earth.
And how powerful would it be when the main body and Second Body merged soon after? Beyond imagination!
In fact, those who could guess that he had not yet revealed his strongest form might only be the Heaven Mending Sect, because Yue Chan could also distinguish main and Second Bodies through the methods of the Immortal Hall.
In another ancient land, a mountain shrouded in purple qi and enduring through the ages suddenly shook violently; a giant boulder weighing a million catties blocking the foot of the mountain was kicked into the clouds and disappeared without a trace.
“Hahaha…”
Boisterous laughter rang out, shaking the heavens, as a man emerged from the ancient cave with determined strides, his hair as red as blood, a vertical eye on his brow, rampant and high-spirited, looking up at the sky.
“I am finally out of seclusion. The old man has kept me hidden for twenty years, every time taking me out for life-and-death tempering and fierce battles, fighting against those of higher realms. Now I am free, hahaha…”
He laughed heartily, his red hair burning like flames, his two eyes exuding a demonic air aside from the vertical eye, as if a supreme demon had been reborn.
“I have cultivated the Great Burning Heaven Technique to a level unprecedented at my age—the Ninth Heaven. I can go and start killing now. Let me think, who should I slaughter first?”
The red-haired man murmured to himself, his gaze terrifying, emanating a demonic air.
“Hm, I should cut off the head of the Successor of Immortal Hall, otherwise everyone else is too weak. Or perhaps I should seek out the other people hidden away by their Dao lineages.”
At that moment, an old man descended with divine radiance illuminating all around, but he was very polite to the young man, obviously also a servant.
“You have arrived just in time. Tell me, who are the powerful ones? I must first slaughter two or three!”
In other mysterious ancient states, similar events happened as hidden prodigies emerged from seclusion, causing heavenly phenomena.
A golden lake was boiling at this moment.
From an underwater palace, a saintly light shot up into the sky, shaking the heavens and alarming the major schools of this state. Many people gazed blankly towards this direction.
A woman emerged from the palace, soaring into the sky, bursting with a radiance of ten thousand feet of golden light, her golden hair dancing, even her pupils golden, overlooking mountains and all creatures.
Her aura was extraordinarily powerful. Although she had not yet ignited divine flames, she was absolute terror incarnate.
“This lineage, many for thousands of years thought to have withered, never expected that from the chaos array of the supreme water palace would emerge a golden-haired Heavenly Maiden!”
Powerful beings exclaimed with emotion.
Besides this, abnormalities also occurred in other great states. As the grand battle of talents from the Three Thousand States was about to begin, those who had been hidden began to emerge from seclusion! (To be continued.
