Chapter 143: Could They All Be the Same Person?

Chapter 143: Could They All Be the Same Person?

After leaving the main hall of the sect, Kang Fulu and Qi Yuan walked side by side.

"It's been many years since you became my junior brother, but you've never ventured far from home. This sudden departure from the Great Shang to the Green Cloud Continent, I wonder how the journey will be... and when we'll be able to return." Kang Fulu couldn't help but sigh, his expression filled with hesitation.

Currently, the Hundred Nations Blood Battle was imminent, and the Great Shang was in turmoil.

The Sect Leader had sent the two of them to participate in the Eastern Land Heaven's Pride Tournament, perhaps with the intention of allowing them to escape the impending chaos.

By participating in the Heaven's Pride Tournament, they could attract the attention of major sects and join them, thus breaking free from the confines of the Hundred Nations and the Green Cloud Continent.

"After the Bright Palace is destroyed, we'll return once the Heaven's Pride Tournament is over. It'll be quick," Qi Yuan said casually, his expression relaxed.

Seeing Qi Yuan's composure, Kang Fulu couldn't help but sigh.

Ah, it's better to be a little foolish, living without a care in the world.

Unlike him, even after forming a Golden Core, he was always filled with worry.

"Junior Brother, for this Heaven's Pride Tournament, just do your best," Kang Fulu said, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. "Don't underestimate me just because I've formed a First Rank Golden Core, which is unprecedented in the Great Shang and will likely remain unmatched. But compared to the talents of the Eastern Land, I'm still far behind."

Although Kang Fulu sounded humble, he was actually boasting.

"On the Eastern Land Talents Ranking, those in the top hundred have formed Profound Grade and Earthly Grade Golden Cores, and some have even formed Heavenly Grade Golden Cores. It's truly unimaginable."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan looked at Kang Fulu with a comforting expression, "Senior Brother Kang, don't be discouraged. It's true that a First Rank Golden Core is a bit weak, but... in our Divine Radiance Sect, it's still considered within the top ten, right?"

Kang Fulu: "..."

He didn't want to speak. He had clearly come to show off, not to seek comfort.

He really wanted to tell Qi Yuan, "Do you know how valuable a First Rank Golden Core is in a small place like the Hundred Nations?"

Just then, Kang Fulu's eyes suddenly lit up.

In front of them, the chief disciple of the Ten Thousand Dharmas Peak, Xu Yiyi, was passing by.

Kang Fulu ignored Qi Yuan and flew over to her.

"Junior Sister, Senior Brother here has recently obtained a treasure. Would you like to take a look?"

"What treasure?"

"My First Rank Golden Core!"

"Golden Core? Has Senior Brother formed a Jade Core?"

Qi Yuan watched this scene from a distance, and he sighed, "It's a good thing I'm insignificant, but my aspirations are as vast as the starry sky.

With a First Rank Golden Core, don't even think about blinding my eyes."

Qi Yuan glanced at his own Golden Core.

In his heart, he sighed, wondering when his Golden Core would be able to devour more planets, stars, and even Sunstars.

If that were the case, amidst the countless stars in the sky, except for the reflections of the gods, all would be part of his Golden Core.

Such a scene would surely be awe-inspiring, right? He looked at the mini sun in the sky and muttered, "What a pity, my Golden Core is too far away. Otherwise, I could show it off like Senior Brother Kang Fulu and receive a lot of praise."

Of course, it might not just be praise.

If he summoned his Golden Core, those who saw it would probably die.

...

In the Bright Palace, Qian Yuan's expression was particularly grim.

"Nearly a hundred Divine Infants died in the Hundred Nations? They're all useless!"

Over the past few days, nearly a hundred Divine Infants from the Hundred Nations were attacked by powerful cultivators and perished within two days.

The loss of nearly a hundred Divine Infants was a significant blow to the Bright Palace!

"Mad Daoist, Seven Desires Demon Lord, Blood Robe Sword God... the people from the Divine Flower Society are truly ruthless!" Black Rope's body was covered in spiritual energy, like a barrel of gunpowder ready to explode. The Divine Infants present looked at him with fear, worried that he might fly into a rage and attack.

"When did our Bright Palace offend so many... 'terrifying' enemies?" Qian Yuan was furious.

Within the Divine Flower Society, there were individuals from the Hundred Nations targeting them.

They appeared all at once, and each one was a Heaven's Pride, which was simply absurd.

"Do you think they're all the same person, assuming multiple identities to kill us?" The elder with the red beard voiced his speculation.

"It's probably not the case," Elder Black Rope said. "The Mad Daoist possesses a strange treasure that resembles a kitchen knife. It's with this treasure that he slaughters Divine Infants as if they were chickens.

The Seven Desires Demon Lord has cultivated a forbidden technique that allows him to kill enemies.

As for the Blood Robe Sword God, he naturally controls the Primordial Divine Ability, a true powerhouse of the Purple Mansion Realm.

Each of these individuals is extraordinary and should not be the same person!"

The words of Elder Black Rope were acknowledged by everyone present.

There were at least ten people involved in the massacre of the Bright Palace's Divine Infant executives.

Each person had distinct characteristics and was exceptional, possessing their own unique Daoist methods.

This exceptionality meant that any one of them could be considered a young Heaven's Pride.

How could they possibly be the same person?

"How could a small place like the Hundred Nations produce so many middle-aged Heaven's Pride? It's obvious that they're all from the Divine Flower Society!" Qian Yuan voiced his judgment.

Middle-aged Heaven's Pride usually referred to those on the previous Heaven's Pride Ranking.

Those who attacked the Bright Palace's Divine Infants had the strength of middle-aged Heaven's Prides.

This was terrifying.

It was clear that they were all from the Divine Flower Society.

"The Divine Flower Society..."

When this organization was mentioned, the executives present looked at each other with apprehension.

It was a loose but powerful organization.

Its headquarters were not in the Eastern Land.

If the Divine Flower Society wanted to take action against them, it would be troublesome.

Qian Yuan looked at the executives below and said, "Rest assured, the Divine Flower Society cannot interfere in the affairs of the Eastern Land.

The Grand Palace Master has already gone to the Holy Emperor Continent to meet with the Eastern Land leader of the Divine Flower Society and seek an explanation."

Upon hearing this, those present breathed a sigh of relief.

Qian Yuan continued, "The Mad Daoist, Seven Desires Demon Lord... and the others have already been placed on our Bright Palace's wanted list.

If they dare to set foot in the Green Cloud Continent, they will surely die! As for the Blood Robe Sword God, we have already issued a challenge in the Divine Flower Society.

If he dares to come, he will die! Before the Blood Robe Sword God perishes, there's no need to send executives to the Hundred Nations!"

"Yes, sir!" The executives present relaxed.

They were truly afraid of being sent to the Hundred Nations.

That's asking for death!

...

When Qi Yuan logged into the Divine Flower Society's group chat, he saw numerous messages of flattery.

"Origin Venerable, you're truly fierce! Nearly a hundred Divine Infants, and you slaughter them at will!"

"A night raid of several thousand miles, that's truly impressive!"

"We should strive to be like you."

Qi Yuan felt a sense of pride reading these praises, but he also felt a bit embarrassed.

"Compared to the big shots in the group who can make things happen with a word, I'm much weaker!" Thinking of the Ice Mountain Tyrantess's words about the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, how a word could make it happen, and how the gods would fall, Qi Yuan felt rather ordinary.

"You're being too modest!" The Rogue Immortal Venerable, now Qi Yuan's number one fan, said, "Origin Venerable has already started the massacre, slaughtering Divine Infants like dogs, but I still have to participate in the Dongtu Talents Tournament."

"When comparing oneself to others, the gap is indeed too wide."

"You're also participating in the Dongtu Talents Tournament?" Qi Yuan's eyes lit up.

"What? Origin Venerable, do you have a junior who's participating too?" The Rogue Immortal Venerable asked.

"I'm still young, not even marr..."

Qi Yuan was just about to say that he hadn't even married.

But then he thought, isn't Xiao Jia his wife?

"I don't even have children yet."

That's what he said.

"This time, I'm participating in the Dongtu Talents Tournament. Rogue Venerable, let's meet up when the time comes!"

Qi Yuan was a bit excited, thinking about meeting the big shots in the group.

This left the Rogue Immortal Venerable a bit stunned.

"Origin Venerable, aren't you slaughtering Divine Infants like dogs? You've already mastered Primordial Divine Abilities, why do you still want to participate in the Dongtu Talents Tournament?"

"Isn't it reasonable for a small Jade Core cultivator like me to participate in the Dongtu Talents Tournament?" Qi Yuan asked.

"It's reasonable... but what about Blood Robe Sword God? Aren't you a Purple Mansion Powerhouse?"

"I'm at the Jade Core stage."

"But you have Primordial Divine Abilities, slaughtering Divine Infants like dogs!"

"Who says a Jade Core cultivator can't have Primordial Divine Abilities?

Who says a Jade Core cultivator can't kill Divine Infants?"

"No one says so."

"Hmph, I haven't even refined my Golden Core yet. If I did, it would directly scare a Dark Deity into jumping!" Qi Yuan said proudly.

The Rogue Immortal Venerable was speechless.

Is there a problem with my head, or is there a problem with Origin Venerable's head? But Origin Venerable is clearly a Purple Mansion Powerhouse, and a Purple Mansion Powerhouse's head shouldn't have any problems.

Could it be... my head has a problem? The Rogue Immortal Venerable felt he needed to find a female physician to soothe his fragile heart.

"What a pity, I'm not in the Eastern Land right now. Otherwise, I'd definitely go to see Origin Venerable and Rogue Venerable's meetup." Great Sun Flame Emperor said with regret.

"It's fine, the world is so big, there will definitely be a chance to meet.

As long as we're in the same era, as long as we don't die, there will be a chance to meet." Qi Yuan said.

"It's just a meetup, why does it sound so heavy when Origin Venerable says it?" The Ice Mountain Tyrantess appeared.

"Just a bit of sentimental feelings."

After exiting the Divine Flower Society's talisman, Qi Yuan's consciousness once again entered the game talisman.

After a while, he showed a disappointed expression: "Still no... new game?"

After leaving the Windflow Realm, Qi Yuan tried to enter the game talisman and access a new game.

Unfortunately, the game talisman was empty, as if a new game hadn't been created yet.

His divine sense swept through the game talisman, but he couldn't find any new games.

"Is the game talisman too big, and my divine sense is insufficient, making it hard to discover new games?"

"Or does it require a medium to trigger it?"

"Since I can't enter a new game, I also can't return to the Golden Core for now.

At least I have the toy of the Divine Radiance Sect to play with, otherwise, life would be too boring."

Qi Yuan sighed.

...

Three days later.

69shu.bar

On a massive spirit vessel, there were four people: Qi Yuan, Kang Fulu, Jiang Ya, and the Divine Infant Elder.

Jiang Ya was also participating in the Dongtu Talents Tournament.

Since they were heading in the same direction, Qi Yuan and Kang Fulu hitched a ride with Jiang Ya.

It must be said that Jiang Ya's spirit vessel was much faster than ordinary ones.

Originally, it would take half a month to reach the Green Cloud Continent, but now it would only take five or six days.

At this moment, on the huge spirit vessel, Qi Yuan looked at the boundless desert below, his face filled with curiosity: "This combination of desert and sea... is truly strange."

Below the spirit vessel, as far as the eye could see, it was all desert, but occasionally, one could see patches of the sea.

The desert and the sea were connected, creating a peculiar sight.

Jiang Ya, who had been keeping her eyes closed, opened them and said slowly: "This strange sight is... caused by a Dark Deity battle.

When power surpasses the Purple Mansion Realm, the battle's might is too great, and it will enter the Void Realm.

The Void Realm is empty, with nothing inside, so it won't harm mortals.

But... every once in a while, some products of the Void Realm will fall, forming this kind of scenery."

"If a Dark Deity were to fight a Purple Mansion cultivator, would they also enter the Void Realm?" Qi Yuan asked curiously.

"Why would a Dark Deity need to use power beyond the Dark Deity Realm to kill a Purple Mansion cultivator?" Jiang Ya's eyes shone with ambition.

That kind of realm was the realm her master strived for her entire life.

Once one enters the Dark Deity Realm, they are no longer restricted by the world.

"What if a Dark Deity wanted to use power beyond the Purple Mansion Realm?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Then, that area would be forcibly dragged into the Void Realm." Jiang Ya patiently explained.

Although it might be a bit early for a Jade Core cultivator to bring this up.

"Forcibly?" Qi Yuan's eyes narrowed, "Is it being dragged in by the Heavenly Dao?"

So, the Dark Deity didn't seem that strong.

Jiang Ya glanced at Qi Yuan, a bit surprised: "Dark Deities have their strengths and weaknesses, just like the Heavenly Dao.

A powerful Dark Deity might be able to break free from this restriction."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan somewhat understood.

"Sigh, what a pity. If I knew I could use the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, I shouldn't have used the Wave Surge Realm's Heavenly Dao. I regret it now!"

The Heavenly Dao of the Moon Gazing Continent was clearly weaker than that of the Wave Surge Realm.

Jiang Ya glanced at Qi Yuan but remained silent. She had long known from Jiang Ling Su that Qi Yuan was a cultivator of the Monomaniac Path, and his mind seemed to have some issues.

The spirit vessel flew swiftly, and Jiang Ya didn't speak to Qi Yuan again, as she was fully immersed in a jade slip.

She furrowed her brows, deep in thought.

The Heaven Soaring Pavilion's leader, Wuti Elder, was also her master.

He had given each of his direct disciples a challenging puzzle.

Jiang Ya's puzzle was the Heaven Rank Spell, the Heartless Scripture.

Her master had mentioned that this spell had several loopholes.

If she could find and fix these loopholes, she would be qualified to enter the Ascension Tower and complete a task with her master.

Currently, Wuti Elder had five direct disciples, and only one had passed the test and entered the Ascension Tower.

Jiang Ya obtained the Heartless Scripture and studied it daily, but her progress was minimal.

So far, she had only discovered three loopholes.

As for adapting it, there was no progress.

After all, this was a Heaven Rank Spell specifically given by Wuti Elder, not an ordinary one.

Qi Yuan observed Jiang Ya by his side, noticing her frown, and asked, "Is there a problem, Senior Sister Jiang? Feel free to tell me."

According to his junior sister, Jiang Ya was a direct disciple of the Heaven Soaring Pavilion's leader.

The Heaven Soaring Pavilion collected countless techniques.

And Qi Yuan lacked precisely those spells.

Jiang Ya possessed an abundance of resources, making it difficult for him not to covet them.

So, Qi Yuan prepared to be a loyal lapdog.

Although lapdogs had no resources of their own, if they didn't solely lick one person but licked all the wealthy people in the world, they would become sea dogs.

Naturally, Qi Yuan was more enthusiastic about Jiang Ya.

Jiang Ya opened her eyes again, and her expression looked gentle, but Qi Yuan still saw the rejection in her eyes.

"It's just a minor issue, so there's no need to trouble you, Junior Brother."

The test given by her master was so challenging that even a Purple Mansion Powerhouse might not pass.

Qi Yuan, from the Hundred Nations, had probably seen very few Profound Level Spells.

With his shallow foundation, he might not even understand the Heartless Scripture.

As for what his junior sister Jiang Ling Su said, Qi Yuan was good at adapting cultivation techniques, but the adapted content was hard to describe.

She naturally wouldn't seek his help.

Qi Yuan felt a bit disappointed.

If wealthy people were as easy to lick as his junior sister Jiang Ling Su, it would be great.

For several days, Qi Yuan was bored.

He either secretly studied the cultivation techniques brought by his junior sister Jiang Ling Su or relentlessly criticized the Bright Palace on the Divine Flower Society's forum.

His blood-robed sword god character had become a celebrity on the forum.

Whenever he posted, dozens of people would praise him.

This made Qi Yuan feel so good that he wanted to abandon his main account and just be the Blood Robe Sword God.

Of course, it was just a thought.

"Rogue Immortal, in a few days, I'll arrive at Cloud City. When will you get there? Let's meet up!" Qi Yuan asked Rogue Immortal in the group.

"I estimate I'll be a bit late, as I'm following my senior brother." Rogue Immortal replied in the group.

He wasn't in the Green Cloud Continent, so it would take longer to arrive.

"Who is your senior brother? Which powerhouse is he? What Immortal Venerable is he?" Qi Yuan asked without thinking.

"No." Rogue Immortal quickly shook his head.

"It seems you can't compare to Rogue Immortal." After Rogue Immortal had praised him so many times, it was only polite to return the favor.

Otherwise, it would be awkward when he boasted in the group and no one responded.

At that moment, in the Eastern Land's Thunder Traverse Continent, Rogue Immortal was looking at the praise from Origin Venerable, feeling helpless.

"I'm just a small fry. My senior brother is among the top 300 on the Eastern Land Talents Ranking, which is far inferior to you, Rogue Immortal."

"Top 300? That's too weak compared to you, Rogue Immortal." Jiang Ya, ranked 17th on the Eastern Land Talents Ranking, made Qi Yuan feel like he was also ranked 17th, speaking arrogantly and looking down on those below 17.

"Cough..." Rogue Immortal awkwardly replied.

At that moment, a tall man approached.

The man wore a green robe and had drooping eyes, not particularly handsome. "Junior Brother, in ten days, we'll reach the Green Cloud Continent. Remember to set aside personal grudges, and let's go together to meet the Celestial Prodigy, Huang Tu, of the Bright Palace!"

Hearing his senior brother's words, Rogue Immortal hesitated. "Senior Brother, I'm a member of the Divine Flower Society, which is in conflict with the Bright Palace. I think it's better if I don't go."

Currently, Origin Venerable was at war with the Bright Palace.

As one of the Four Emperors of the Divine Flower Society, he couldn't provide support in terms of combat power, but at least he should maintain a united front, right?

"Hmph!" The drooping-eyed man coldly snorted. "Junior Brother, the Green Cloud Continent is the Bright Palace's stronghold. When we go there, how could we not meet the Celestial Prodigies there and expand our connections?

Such an opportunity to meet Celestial Prodigies and expand our network shouldn't be missed!

Moreover, where is the major conflict between the Divine Flower Society and the Bright Palace? That Blood Robe Sword God, a mere Purple Mansion cultivator, is provoking the Bright Palace. He's seeking death!"

Hearing this, Rogue Immortal felt helpless. "Senior Brother, I've already made an appointment to meet a friend."

Upon hearing this, the drooping-eyed man's eyebrows jumped. "That friend of yours, if I remember correctly, is like you and hasn't made it onto the Eastern Land Talents Ranking."

"His strength is sufficient!" Rogue Immortal vouched for Origin Venerable.

"How about this? When we meet Huang Tu, let's bring him along." The drooping-eyed man suggested.

Hearing this, Rogue Immortal quickly said, "No!"

Origin Venerable and the Bright Palace were like fire and water!

Who knows what would happen if he went to meet Huang Tu!

PS: There's probably one more chapter coming out around 5-6 AM, so get some sleep and check it out in the morning!
