Chapter 109: The True Transmission Disciples of the Holy Sect
Chapter 109: The True Transmission Disciples of the Holy Sect
Beneath the Sky-Connecting Sea of Clouds and the Holy Flame Cliff, a black-robed youth with a shadowed face sat cross-legged on a tiny boat, meditating and regulating his breath. After a long while, he opened his eyes to gaze at the boundless sea of clouds before him.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Cloud Sea churned violently. Towering waves surged skyward, drawn toward him as he inhaled deeply, his cultivation energy surging outward. A carefully refined strand of "Heavenly Craft True Qi" erupted from his palm, roaring like thunder as it smashed into the incoming wave, suppressing its momentum with sheer force.
But before he could catch his breath, a second wave crashed toward him.
"Come!"
The black-robed youth roared, his True Qi manifesting as blades, spears, halberds, and even carriages and horses that charged into the second wave with a deafening crash.
Pah!
The impact sent him stumbling backward, his face flushing red, but the wave shattered under his assault. Yet the Cloud Sea showed no mercy—his earlier exertion had provoked its wrath. This time, three waves rose simultaneously, converging on him from all sides.
Hmph!
This time, the youth’s expression tightened. His True Qi burned rapidly as he clashed head-on with the waves, neither side yielding. Gritting his teeth, he began to seal away his energy, gradually retracting the vast power he had unleashed.
As his aura receded, the Cloud Sea’s fury also ebbed, the waves retreating until the sea calmed to its original stillness.
Haa...
The youth exhaled, his body swaying from exhaustion. He hastily activated his boat to distance himself from the Cloud Sea, then swallowed a pill to recover his strength. Only after a long while did he finally steady himself.
Suddenly, a streak of light descended from the heavens.
The clouds parted, revealing a refined young man in flowing robes, who landed gracefully on the boat and smiled at the black-robed youth.
"Tianhe, your cultivation has improved."
"The Equilibrium Sea surrounding the Holy Flame Cliff thrives on balance—the more power you display, the fiercer the waves grow."
"Ordinary Refining Qi Perfection disciples can’t even withstand a single wave."
"Even us True Transmission disciples, who’ve refined third-tier True Qi, struggle to match three waves."
"And yet you resisted four. Among True Transmission disciples, you’re exceptional."
Qin Tianhe, the black-robed youth, accepted the praise with a modest shake of his head. "I’ve simply trained longer. It took me years to reach this level."
"Back when Yinshan Mountains was a True Transmission disciple, he faced nine waves with third-tier True Qi—nearly the power of a Foundation Building Realm practitioner."
The refined young man’s face lit with admiration. "The elders say only Foundation Building Realm practitioners can cross the Equilibrium Sea without stirring a single wave. To reach that level, one must instantly suppress ten waves."
"Yinshan Mountains came close to that realm with nine waves."
After a moment of shared reverence, Qin Tianhe asked curiously, "Xu Xin, you’ve always trained in the Cultivation Cave. What brings you here?"
"You haven’t heard?" Xu Xin replied, surprised. "The four sects are reigniting the Dao Contention War. Qingcheng Feixue True Sage has emerged from retreat to lead our forces."
"The summons have already been sent. Besides us idle True Transmission disciples, many Refining Qi disciples have been recalled to the Cloud Sea—each at least in the late Refining Qi stage."
"Oh, and there’s a new True Transmission disciple. Unluckily for him, he just ascended during this crisis."
"Ah?" Qin Tianhe raised an eyebrow. "Who is this newcomer? Which True Sage took him in?"
"They say Yinshan Mountains recommended him."
Xu Xin’s expression turned odd. "But from what I’ve heard, this newcomer never fought in the Orthodox and Evil Battlefield."
"Never?" Qin Tianhe frowned, realization dawning. "Another Chen Xin’an?"
The Holy Sect’s True Transmission disciples were divided into factions. Some, like Qin Tianhe and Xu Xin, earned their status through bloodshed in the Orthodox and Evil Battlefield. Others, like Chen Xin’an, bought their positions through noble connections, their families’ wealth securing their ranks. The former despised the latter as unworthy, while the latter scorned the former as lowborn survivors.
"Unclear", Xu Xin shrugged. "But regardless, this Dao Contention War will test him. If he’s as useless as Chen Xin’an, I won’t hesitate to teach him a lesson—before he drags us down in battle."
"Fair enough", Qin Tianhe nodded, his thoughts already turning to the impending war. As a battlefield-hardened disciple, he had survived countless deaths in the Orthodox and Evil Battlefield, emerging victorious in two Dao Contention Wars. A third victory would grant him a 50% chance to ascend to the Foundation Building Realm.
This war was his destiny.
Suddenly, a thunderous boom echoed across the Cloud Sea.
"Someone’s coming?"
Qin Tianhe and Xu Xin fell silent, their faces tightening as they turned toward the sound.
The noise grew louder—a streak of light tore through the sky, its speed shaking the heavens.
Whoever wielded this power must be terrifying.
The next moment, the light arrived.
Boom!
The overwhelming energy rippled through the Equilibrium Sea, dwarfing Qin Tianhe’s earlier four waves. Ten towering waves erupted at once.
Before Qin and Xu could react, an even greater force descended from above, crashing onto the Cloud Sea.
Pah!
Hundreds of miles of Cloud Sea stilled instantly, the waves flattened as if by an invisible hand. The mist parted, revealing a lone figure descending gracefully.
"Is this the place?"
Lv Yang scanned the area, spotting the boat below, and landed beside the two disciples.
Before he could speak, Qin Tianhe and Xu Xin bowed deeply, their voices united in reverence:
"Disciple Qin Tianhe."
"Disciple Xu Xin."
"Greetings, True Sage!"
