Chapter 132: On the Eve
Chapter 132: On the Eve
Within the Divine Flower Four Emperors Group:
"I have some good news to share. My plan, 'The Hundred-Day Demolition of Bright Palace,' is ahead of schedule. We've already initiated the fourth step, which is the most challenging part!" Qi Yuan's plan was meticulously divided into four stages, with the final step being the most difficult, rated four stars in terms of complexity.
"Venerable Qi Yuan, are you about to form an Immortal-grade Golden Core?" Rogue Immortal Venerable quickly replied.
"You're still here? I thought you said you were going into seclusion for a hundred days," Qi Yuan asked.
"I was in seclusion, but then a jade slip lit up, so I came to check it out," Rogue Immortal Venerable explained awkwardly.
"You're addicted. You need some electric shock therapy," Qi Yuan said, steering the conversation back on track, "I've already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. I'm just one step away from forming an Immortal-grade Golden Core!"
Qi Yuan was brimming with confidence.
He had already communicated with the Heavenly Dao of the Windflow Realm.
Forming an Immortal-grade Golden Core was within his capabilities.
"If I remember correctly, Venerable Qi Yuan, didn't you recently establish your foundation in the Heavenly Dao?" Rogue Immortal Venerable asked hesitantly.
"It's been a couple of months, sigh, time flies, and the world is ever-changing!" Qi Yuan sighed inexplicably.
At this moment, Great Sun Flame Emperor joined the group: "Wow, no wonder he's Heaven's Pride. Venerable Qi Yuan is truly formidable."
"Is there any progress on the demolition of Bright Palace?" Ice Mountain Tyrantess started speaking, sending multiple messages at once.
"I've gathered some sisters and borrowed several million high-interest loans from Bright Palace. Venerable Qi Yuan, you have to give it your all!"
"Rest assured, I won't let your trust in me be in vain!" Qi Yuan said, touched. "Regarding Bright Palace, I've formulated some additional small plans that require your support!"
"What do you need me to do?"
"Killing, that's my specialty!"
"I... can only offer one spirit stone."
"No need for such trouble. I've created an alternate account and am currently exposing Bright Palace's misdeeds. I need you to bump my posts."
Qi Yuan shared the posts and his thoughts with them.
Upon hearing this, Ice Mountain Tyrantess's eyes lit up in the mortal world.
She sent multiple messages in a row.
"Venerable Qi Yuan, you are truly a genius!"
"This title is absolutely brilliant!"
"The Sword God, living in a dog kennel, Bright Palace has gone too far!"
"Cough, to be honest, I copied this idea from someone else," Qi Yuan admitted, feeling a bit guilty.
The last time he copied Wu Tong's words, he ended up killing Wu Tong.
No one would know that he had plagiarized, and Wu Tong, the original creator, couldn't possibly crawl out of hell.
The people on Blue Star were still alive, and he hadn't finished killing them all. If he was exposed, it would be too embarrassing.
Unless he swallowed Blue Star, he wouldn't be able to claim originality with ease.
"Don't worry, Venerable Qi Yuan, I'll help you bump your posts every day!"
"Thank you all!" Qi Yuan expressed his gratitude inwardly.
He left the group chat and continued to post on his alternate account.
...
Bright Palace Branch Palace:
Wind Wrath Senior Immortal's eyes flashed with a hint of anger: "Has Great Shang responded yet?"
His disciple, Wolfbreaker, had gone to the Hundred Nations and perished in Great Shang.
The emissaries sent to Great Shang had also gone silent.
"Senior Immortal Wind Wrath, please calm down," Strong Flood Senior Immortal advised.
As both were in the late stage of Divine Infancy, Strong Flood Senior Immortal had to show some deference to Wind Wrath Senior Immortal.
After all, Wind Wrath Senior Immortal's father was a powerhouse of the Purple Mansion! In the Wave Surge Realm, the Purple Mansion was considered a formidable power.
"Hmph, my disciple died mysteriously in Great Shang, and I demand an explanation!" Wind Wrath Senior Immortal said, dissatisfied.
Strong Flood Senior Immortal's heart sank, but he still flattered, "Currently, our Bright Palace seems a bit unsettled. The Palace Lord has ordered us to maintain a low profile for the time being."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Wind Wrath Senior Immortal was unaware of these developments.
"In recent days, numerous powerhouses of the Purple Mansion have been coming to Bright Palace to borrow spirit stones. It's said that they've borrowed millions of spirit stones so far." Strong Flood Senior Immortal mentioned this, feeling shocked.
Powerhouses of the Purple Mansion, forming a group to borrow spirit stones.
This didn't bode well.
"Could it be that our Bright Palace's initiation of the Hundred Nations Blood Battle has displeased some of the old powerhouses? But we had already received tacit approval from those influential figures for the Blood Battle!"
The Hundred Nations Blood Battle would result in endless slaughter and millions of deaths.
For such a significant event, Bright Palace couldn't just proceed without caution.
If they were exposed by some influential figure who didn't approve, they would have no defense.
But with prior notification, the situation would be different.
At the very least, the nearby powerhouses wouldn't interfere.
"The Palace is investigating, so it's best to be cautious. Moreover, today, someone at the Divine Flower Society is accusing our Bright Palace. This person's title seems quite intimidating." Strong Flood Senior Immortal waved his hand, and a pile of images appeared before Wind Wrath Senior Immortal's eyes.
"The Sword God? Living in a dog kennel?" Wind Wrath Senior Immortal exclaimed, his eyes widening. "Who did this? It's even more outrageous than me!"
Killing someone was one thing, but humiliating them was another.
In Bright Palace, one of their fellow cultivators had forced another cultivator's daughter to live in a dog kennel, which was indeed excessive.
"The Palace is investigating, and it seems there is truth to the matter, but someone is also slandering us," Strong Flood Senior Immortal sighed. "The storm is approaching!"
The recent series of events made them feel as if an invisible powerful force was targeting Bright Palace.
However, after investigating, Bright Palace couldn't identify the powerful force behind these actions.
Would such a powerful entity even need these methods?
Wind Wrath Senior Immortal's eyes flickered with apprehension, but he still spoke, "Great Shang is a small country. Even if I take action, it won't affect such matters. Let's wait a bit longer for the Palace's investigation results. Then, I'll go to Great Shang!"
Strong Flood Senior Immortal nodded. He asked, "Senior Immortal Wind Wrath, who do you think forced the Blood Robe Sword God's daughter to live in a dog kennel?"
Wind Wrath Senior Immortal pondered, "It's likely to be Void Emptiness Senior Immortal or Fangyuan Senior Immortal. They are the prime suspects."
"Such a thing, indeed, only they could do it!"
Indeed, Bright Palace was exactly like that.
Qi Yuan's post slandering them had most of them wondering, "Which fellow cultivator did this?"
...
"Alright, finally done posting."
Qi Yuan looked at his masterpiece with great satisfaction.
He had posted seven threads in a row.
"What a pity, there's no scheduled posting function. Otherwise, I'd be playing games while the posts keep coming."
Qi Yuan sighed.
If there was a bumping tool, he could even have his posts bumped when he wasn't around.
"Now, with the hatred fully drawn, I'll wait for my Golden Core breakthrough, and then I'll destroy Bright Palace in one go!" Qi Yuan was full of confidence, believing that once he formed his Golden Core, he would be the top disciple among the various peaks of Divine Light Sect.
"That Kang Fulu guy better not be secretly forming his core behind my back, right?"
Qi Yuan pondered.
Just then, outside the wooden cabin, Jiang Ling Su's voice could be heard.
"Senior Brother."
Hearing her, Qi Yuan hurriedly stepped out of the cabin.
"Junior Sister, what's wrong?" Qi Yuan now held the Golden Thigh Junior Sister in utmost respect.
As long as the Junior Sister had money for one day, she would be the goddess in Qi Yuan's heart.
"In a few days, I have a... sister who wants to visit me at Divine Light Sect." Jiang Ling Su spoke hesitantly.
"Oh, someone from your family?" Qi Yuan's eyes lit up.
If her sister was a rich lady, wouldn't she be a rich lady too?
"Sort of. My sister, she'll probably stay at Seven Color Peak for a while. Do you think it's okay?" Jiang Ling Su asked.
Since the master was unavailable, everything on Seven Color Peak was now under the command of the Senior Brother.
"Sure, no problem at all!" Qi Yuan raised both hands in agreement.
She was a rich lady!
Staying together and absorbing some financial luck wouldn't be bad either.
With another rich lady around, even if my knife has to pick up trash in the future, I'll have more options."
"By the way, Senior Brother, my sister, when she comes here, might argue with me..."
"What?" Qi Yuan was taken aback. "Junior Sister, rest assured, Senior Brother will stand by your side.
Even if she's a rich lady, if you two fight, I'll definitely take my knife and slash her!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ling Su's heart warmed. Although the Senior Brother was a bit crazy, he was a good person.
"By the way, how rich is she? Is she a millionaire?" Qi Yuan asked, his tone weakening as he spoke, as if he wouldn't dare provoke her if she were a millionaire.
Jiang Ling Su looked at Qi Yuan with a mix of love and frustration. The warmth she felt earlier completely vanished, and she said indignantly, "She's richer than me."
"Don't worry, from now on, I'll be your muscle!" Qi Yuan patted his chest. "Qi Yuan's fighting skills are worth having!"
"She's not an ordinary person. She's ranked fifteenth on the Eastern Earth's Heaven's Pride Rankings!" Jiang Ling Su said proudly.
The Senior Brother's combat strength was quite impressive. In the Qi Condensation Realm, he had secretly assassinated a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak of the realm and another in the middle stage, displaying extraordinary talent and deserving the title of Heaven's Pride.
Reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, one could rank within the top five hundred, or even the top hundred, on the Eastern Earth's Heaven's Pride Rankings.
However, her sister was ranked fifteenth on the same list!
It could be said that if no major issues arose, she would almost certainly become a Purple Mansion Powerhouse!
"Is she a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator?" Qi Yuan asked with some fear.
"No."
"I'm not afraid of her. With my Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, I'll crush her!"
Qi Yuan was full of confidence. After chatting with Jiang Ling Su, he returned to his wooden cabin.
"All settled. Time to log in, play games, and push forward!"
...
In No Return City, the sand and gravel beneath the ground caved in, and Qi Yuan, clad in a blood-red robe, emerged from the ground, hugging Xiao Jia.
Deep within his eyes, a strand of profoundness flashed.
"It's finally coming to an end."
Qi Yuan's heart felt a bit melancholic.
Gazing at the pitch-black sky, devoid of stars or the sun and moon, he thought, "This world is indeed quite lonely."
The air was filled with a blood-red aura.
After about a dozen breaths, several powerful auras rushed towards this place.
"Big Brother, you're back?"
"Paying respects to the Blood Lord!"
Qi Yuan looked at the several Supreme Beings before him and used his hand to dust off the dirt on his body. "How did things go?"
He was asking about the number of Peak Land Myth cultivators.
"Big Brother, No Return City has gathered seven thousand... Peak Land Myth cultivators!" Chen Huan said, his teeth chattering.
Hearing this, Qi Yuan was stunned. "According to ancient calculations, this is almost equivalent to two hundred thousand troops?"
There were indeed many Land Myth cultivators in this world!
"Not a few of the mid-stage Land Myth cultivators have been frantically breaking through without regard for their lifespan, reaching the Peak Land Myth stage during this time. It's all to listen to your lecture, Big Brother, so there are so many more!"
The allure of a Supreme Being was almost irresistible to everyone.
Under a Supreme Being, everyone was like an ant. It wasn't just an expression.
As long as the Primordial Divine Ability remained, a Supreme Being killing a Land Myth cultivator was like slaughtering a chicken.
"Have all the people gathered?" Qi Yuan asked.
"Yes!" Chen Huan replied.
"Since it's like this, ten days from now, I will lecture."
Qi Yuan spoke, feeling amazed in his heart.
This was ten thousand Supreme Beings.
If converted into experience points, it was unimaginable!
In No Return City, the Blood Lord reappeared, and this news spread, causing an uproar throughout the world.
Because those Peak Land Myth cultivators understood that this was their chance to step into the Supreme Being realm.
At this moment, deep within No Return City, Yun He was drinking some wine, his eyes relaxed and carefree. "If the Blood Lord had appeared a thousand years earlier, the world would have been peaceful, and the master wouldn't have had to endure so much."
He had never felt so relaxed while drinking wine.
When the sky fell, having a tall person to support it was truly refreshing.
Ten days later, on No Return City.
Qi Yuan stood atop the city, his blood-red robe making him stand out vividly.
Outside No Return City, seven thousand Peak Land Myth cultivators stood like soldiers.
In the Wave Surge Realm, there were seven hundred thousand Peak Divine Infants.
Each of them was comparable to Qi Yuan's former arch-nemesis, the Black Chicken Elder Demon.
At this moment, in Qi Yuan's eyes, these people were mere pawns, and he could annihilate them all with a mere flick of his fingers.
"Today, seven hundred thousand Peak Earth Myths will ascend to the Grand Supreme realm. I wonder if this is a good thing or a bad thing."
Qi Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.
When the game ends, he will leave.
These seven hundred thousand Peak Earth Myths will become Grand Supremes.
Adding to the three hundred thousand Supremes already present.
That makes a total of one million Supremes, an unprecedented number.
With so many Supremes, the balance of power in the Windflow Realm is undoubtedly affected.
Once Qi Yuan's game ends, he isn't sure what will become of these Supremes.
Moreover, these Supremes are not the Purple Mansion Powerhouses of the Wave Surge Realm.
Within their bodies, they carry the seeds of demonic calamity! After their passing, these seeds will sprout! The thought of Grand Supreme-level calamities is truly terrifying.
Perhaps, instead of creating one million Supremes, he has birthed a million demonic calamities!
In this lifetime...
Qi Yuan chose not to dwell on these thoughts. He gazed at the hundred thousand figures, their expressions ethereal, as if they were gods floating in the clouds.
"The lecture... begins..."
This lecture was grander and on a larger scale than any before.
The Blood Lord stood atop the walls of No Return City, and celestial sounds reverberated from the sky, reaching deep into their hearts.
Unlike before, this time, the sky suddenly began to weep blood.
It was as if the heavens were crying, shedding their blood.
The seven hundred thousand Earth Myth cultivators, drenched in the blood rain, didn't seem to notice it at all, as they were wholly immersed in the Human-Demon Dao.
However, the other powerhouses of No Return City, at this moment, looked towards the Blood Lord, but they felt as if he were a blood-red sun.
In a world abandoned by the gods, where the sun, moon, and stars no longer shone, it was as if an extra blood-red sun had appeared.
Finally, there was light in this world, to be precise, blood-red light.
...
As time passed, at the ends of the earth, a Blood Palace emerged.
Ninety-nine percent of the Grand Supremes in the Windflow Realm gathered at the ends of the earth, seemingly awaiting the opening of the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons.
Everyone was excited, yet they also restrained themselves.
Amidst Yun He's excitement, there was a hint of worry: "I hope the Blood Lord can hold on until the arrival of the Supreme Lady."
As the opening of the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons drew near, the Blood Lord's appearances became increasingly rare.
The entire Blood Palace was enveloped in an eerie silence.
Qi Yuan embraced Xiao Jia, his expression slightly peculiar. "The Great Forget Dharma... the distance to engraving is just one step away."
At this moment, Qi Yuan was already capable of engraving the Great Forget Dharma.
However, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
If he were to engrave it on his divine soul and body, he feared he would truly go mad.
"Could it be that I must delve deeper into the Great Forget Dharma before I can engrave it?" Qi Yuan felt helpless.
Engraving the Primordial Divine Art was a level beyond what a mid-stage Grand Supreme like Qi Yuan could handle.
Unfortunately, in his current state, he wouldn't attempt it.
If he did, he would truly forget, and there would be no waking him.
"What a pity, this is my path, and I must walk it, even with tears."
Qi Yuan sighed.
He chose not to dwell on these thoughts.
There's always a way; where there's a will, there's a way.
...
Meanwhile, within the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons.
He Wu was engulfed in darkness, his eyes filled with worry. "In a few days, the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons will open, and we... will struggle to assist our Master."
Ling Ya Yi gazed at the outpost ahead, sensing the aura within. His eyes, too, were filled with deep apprehension. "Twenty-plus Grand Supremes, a hundred ordinary Supremes, the Supreme Lady is truly formidable!"
The Supreme Lady's headquarters had, at this moment, surrounded the White Emperor.
At the entrance of the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, the Supreme Lady had also dispatched numerous powerhouses.
Moreover, to counter the Blood Lord, among the twenty-plus Grand Supremes, ten were from the Demon Realm, and the hundred ordinary Supremes were all Demons from the Demon Realm.
This way, they wouldn't be suppressed by the Blood Lord's Primordial Divine Art.
"With only five of us, we're no match for these Supremes." He Wu frowned.
The gap between them and their enemies was too vast.
Unfortunately, for them to come out with just five people, they had made thorough preparations.
Within the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, the Supreme Lady's people were everywhere.
"What do you think of our Master's strength? Can he defeat these people?" Ling Ya Yi asked.
They had come here to assist the Blood Lord.
"Probably not." He Wu replied gravely.
Years ago, the Blood Lord's sword had engraved the Primordial Divine Art.
Evidently, their Master had suffered a heavy blow within the Gate of Ten Thousand Devils and had only recently awakened, just entering the Grand Supreme realm.
Although their Master's Primordial Divine Art could suppress the Supremes of the Windflow Realm, the Demoness's subordinates were mostly Grand Supremes from the Demon Realm.
With twenty Grand Supremes gathered, the current Blood Lord was no match for them.
Ling Ya Yi furrowed his brows. "What if the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons opens, and I fly towards those Grand Supremes, then self-detonate my Primordial Divine Art, and finally shout, 'My name is Ling Ya Yi!'."
Perhaps then, the Master would forget my name, Nan Gong Dog, and only remember my name, Ling Ya Yi!"
"Don't be ridiculous. If you self-detonate, you'll just die in vain. For the Master to come, he must face those powerhouses head-on." He Wu knew that Ling Ya Yi was willing to sacrifice himself to create an opportunity for the Master to enter the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons.
"Sigh, aren't I also seeking a solution?" Ling Ya Yi shrugged.
"Instead of believing in your self-detonation to attract the Supremes' attention, it's better to trust that the Supreme Lady can break through." A mid-stage Grand Supreme cultivator couldn't help but say.
He was also a member of the Northern Demon Thirteen Fiends.
He Wu nodded in agreement.
Ling Ya Yi glared at the two of them, his face filled with displeasure. "It's definitely because you have the 'Demon' mark on your faces. I'm not happy seeing the two of you."
