Chapter 150: The Impending Calamity and the News from the Moon Viewing Continent

Chapter 150: The Impending Calamity and the News from the Moon Viewing Continent

"..."

The Master of the Cloud Courtyard fell silent.

He didn't quite understand.

The Dragon King's Leaning Mouth? What could that mean?

"Sigh, as expected, there's a generation gap between you and these old-timers," Qi Yuan sighed upon seeing the Master's silence.

He, too, had come to understand a certain truth.

No wonder Bai Yueguang had always remained a Bai Yueguang, unable to be promoted, due to the age gap creating a generational divide.

The Master's lips twitched slightly, "Senior, you sure know how to joke."

As he spoke, he glanced at Huang Tu beside him, "Senior, could you please give me some face and spare this young man's life?"

At this moment, Huang Tu's eyes were filled with intense fear.

The blood-robed man before him—how could he possibly be the Blood Cloak Sword God? The very sight of him was like a nightmare, and he wished to devour his flesh and crush his bones. Yet, Huang Tu, standing right beside him, dared not harbor any resentment, his body trembling in fear.

Because the Blood Cloak Sword God was truly a formidable killer.

"Why should I give you face? If he wants to kill me, I'll kill him. It's only natural," Qi Yuan said, glancing indifferently at Huang Tu.

The Celestial Prodigies around Huang Tu felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and they all moved away from him, treating Huang Tu like a plague god.

"If you kill Huang Tu, Senior, it will be difficult to reconcile with the Bright Palace," the Master of the Cloud Courtyard spoke up, "This Heaven Talents Tournament is of utmost importance, and Huang Tu is the Bright Palace's only hope of entering the top twenty."

"Oh, he's from the Bright Palace? And he's that important to them?" Qi Yuan was surprised.

No wonder Huang Tu looked so kind; he was a junior of Bai Yueguang.

"He's even more important than a Purple Mansion cultivator and is comparable to a Palace Lord," the Master of the Cloud Courtyard emphasized Huang Tu's significance.

He seemed to want to protect Huang Tu.

He hoped that the Blood Cloak Sword God would spare Huang Tu because of this.

Qi Yuan was speechless. Did the Bright Palace depend solely on Huang Tu's survival? Couldn't they just watch the video?

A cold smile appeared on Qi Yuan's face, "In that case, he deserves to die even more."

With a flick of his hand, a spell flew towards Huang Tu.

The Master of the Cloud Courtyard's face changed slightly, and he tried to stop it.

Unfortunately, his strength was far inferior to that of the Blood Cloak Sword God, and he couldn't block Qi Yuan's attack at all.

Even if he tried to intercept it, he would be injured himself.

The spell landed, and Huang Tu's gaze froze.

His body went limp, and he collapsed, devoid of any breath.

The Master of the Cloud Courtyard's face turned even more unsightly.

All the Celestial Prodigies present were shocked and terrified.

This Blood Cloak Sword God was truly beyond the bounds of common sense.

This Celestial Prodigy—he was a true killer!

He didn't care about leaving behind a reputation for bullying the weak.

As Huang Tu's life ended, the Master of the Cloud Courtyard sighed, "Senior, why make things so difficult between us and the Bright Palace?"

Qi Yuan paid no attention to the Master of the Cloud Courtyard; instead, he clapped his hands and turned to the Rogue Immortal Venerable, "Another one down, and your ranking on the Heaven Talents Tournament has improved again.

How much further is it to the main ranking? Do you want me to kill a few more?"

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Prodigies were terrified, their faces turning pale as they took a few steps back.

The Blood Cloak Sword God was a madman!

The Rogue Immortal Venerable was completely dumbfounded and managed to squeeze out a smile that was harder to produce than tears, "No...no need."

Beside him, Gao Ji'en stood motionless, his body daring not to move.

If it weren't for the presence of the two Purple Mansion cultivators, he would have asked his junior brother about the Blood Cloak Sword God and the Bright Palace long ago.

The Master of the Cloud Courtyard looked at Qi Yuan and slowly spoke, "Actually, the Bright Palace has something else to say, and they asked me to convey it to you, Senior."

"You're a lackey of the Bright Palace?" Qi Yuan's body was enveloped in killing intent.

This was Bai Yueguang, after all, and he was valuable.

"Not at all," the Master of the Cloud Courtyard said, sweat forming on his forehead. He had just sensed the crisis of death, "I have no connection with the Bright Palace."

Upon hearing this, the killing intent on Qi Yuan's body dissipated.

"Senior, can we talk in private?" the Master of the Cloud Courtyard spoke up.

There were some things that were best not conveyed through sound transmission in front of so many people.

"Okay, sure, we can talk for two hours," Qi Yuan nodded and turned to the Rogue Immortal Venerable, "Rogue Immortal Venerable, when the Dragon Phoenix Essence Core Dance begins later, remember to record it for me. Thank you."

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he and the Master of the Cloud Courtyard disappeared, leaving behind only the Celestial Prodigies on the stage, filled with awe and horror.

The Rogue Immortal Venerable sat dumbfounded on the spot, his head in a daze.

The other Celestial Prodigies looked at him with envious eyes.

At this moment, Gao Ji'en quickly transmitted a sound, "Junior Brother, what's going on? What's this about the Blood Cloak Sword God and the Bright Palace?

Should we run away now and return to the Traverse Continent?"

"Senior Brother, I'm not entirely sure either," the Rogue Immortal Venerable replied, his mind still in a state of chaos.

At the same time, in the cave abode, a faint fragrance arose, and the entire mansion exuded a hint of immortal aura.

Qi Yuan, clad in a blood-red cloak, was surrounded by blood energy as he looked at the Master of the Cloud Courtyard, "Speak, what is it?"

"Sigh, Senior, you shouldn't have killed Huang Tu. This has seriously offended the Bright Palace," the Master of the Cloud Courtyard said.

"I've already offended them," Qi Yuan didn't seem to care.

He was going to destroy the Bright Palace, so why worry about offending them? What was there to fear about killing someone?

Even in the cultivation world, he had eradicated his enemies' physical and spiritual forms, and they wouldn't become ghosts again.

"Senior, you may not know this, but for the Bright Palace, entering the top twenty in this Dongtu Talents Ranking is of great importance," the Master of the Cloud Courtyard explained.

"Oh, so it's just about gaining entry into a new world?" Qi Yuan was surprised.

The Master of the Cloud Courtyard was slightly taken aback, "Senior, since you know all this, shouldn't you understand what it implies?"

"Oh? What does it imply?" Qi Yuan looked perplexed, "Don't give me riddles; speak clearly."

The Master of the Cloud Courtyard's heart skipped a beat.

Apparently, the Blood Cloak Sword God truly didn't know.

But...shouldn't every top-tier force or orthodox major force in every continent know about this?

Could it be...that this Blood Cloak Sword God was a wandering cultivator? The Master of the Cloud Courtyard was even more impressed.

His face showed difficulty, "Senior, this matter involves heavenly secrets, and I can't reveal it.

If I speak of it, I fear I will die on the spot.

I can only disclose eight words to you: 'The great calamity approaches; prepare early.'"

"The great calamity?" Qi Yuan was surprised.

However, he didn't pursue the matter further.

Looking at the Cloud Courtyard Master, one could not help but wonder about his appearance.

"This time, Dongtu has discovered a new world.

The three Yin Shen of Dongtu have discussed that all sects and powers ranked within the top twenty on the Dongtu Talents Ranking will have the opportunity to enter this new world and expand their territories." The Cloud Courtyard Master continued.

"Are there three Yin Shen in Dongtu?" Qi Yuan asked.

This was what he was truly concerned about.

"This is a highly confidential matter, and I do not know the details," the Cloud Courtyard Master shook his head, not expecting Blood Cloak Sword God to ask about this.

"How strong are the Yin Shen? Can you kill a Yin Shen with a hundred thousand clones?" Qi Yuan asked again.

"Cough, cough..." The Cloud Courtyard Master was in an awkward situation, "Senior, please don't put me in a difficult position. The Yin Shen... are already like deities in this world.

At such a level, I cannot fathom it, nor dare to compare myself to them."

"If I were to bring down the sun from the sky and crush a Yin Shen with it, would they die?" Qi Yuan asked again.

Cold sweat covered the Cloud Courtyard Master's forehead.

Why was Blood Cloak Sword God so fixated on fighting the Yin Shen?

He wanted to battle them at the first opportunity.

He acknowledged that Blood Cloak Sword God's strength was formidable, almost on par with the Cloud Mansion Master.

However, the Yin Shen and the Purple Mansion were fundamentally two different realms.

One was still cultivating, while the other had already achieved immortality.

"I suppose it should be able to kill them..." The Cloud Courtyard Master said awkwardly.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's heart stirred, and he thought, "Right, what is this new world like? What is its strength?"

"It's the Moon Viewing Continent, and its strength is quite weak. The strongest there is only comparable to our Divine Infants in the Canglan Realm.

Therefore, the top twenty experts on the Dongtu Talents Ranking are more than enough to sweep through the Moon Viewing Continent."

"The Moon Viewing Continent?" Qi Yuan's eyelashes twitched.

He hadn't expected to hear about this world.

Wasn't this the world of his game?

The place where he established his Heavenly Dao Foundation?

Jin Li...

Was it the same name or a place? His heart stirred, but he remained calm on the outside, "Do I have the qualifications to go to the Moon Viewing Continent?"

"Senior, the matters decided by the three Yin Shen Venerables cannot be changed.

Only those within the top twenty on the Dongtu Talents Ranking will have the opportunity to enter the Moon Viewing Continent."

"Alright, I understand." Qi Yuan's heart still stirred, "I'm leaving now."

With a flash, his figure disappeared.

Only the Cloud Courtyard Master, with a bitter expression, remained in the room.

"Sigh, it seems the conflict between Blood Cloak Sword God and the Light Palace cannot be resolved."

...

Light Palace.

Third Palace Lord Violet Zicang's face was filled with reverence, and deep within her eyes, there was a glint of killing intent, "Grand Palace Lord, Huang Tu... has been killed by Blood Cloak Sword God!"

The Grand Palace Lord was enveloped in a radiant light, making it difficult to see his face. One could only tell that he was a majestic man.

"I understand." The Grand Palace Lord's expression remained calm, "I have already discussed with the Dongtu Sect Leader of the Divine Flower Society. He will help us arrange a meeting with Blood Cloak Sword God so that we can sit down and have a proper talk."

"Still want to talk?" Third Palace Lord?" Third Palace Lord was a little confused, her expression turning grim, "He killed Huang Tu, cutting off one of our escape routes!"

"With the Great Tribulation approaching, everything... must follow the plan.

We cannot be delayed by such trivial matters.

If we need to compromise, it's just a matter of losing some face."

The Grand Palace Lord spoke calmly.

"Unless Blood Cloak Sword God walks into our trap and comes to the Light Palace headquarters, otherwise, no matter how many resources we waste, we won't be able to surround and kill him.

Why bother with futile efforts? This matter should be concluded."

The Grand Palace Lord also wanted to exterminate Blood Cloak Sword God.

As long as Blood Cloak Sword God came to the Light Palace headquarters, with the support of numerous Purple Mansion experts and the Imperial Apex Dragon Crown, it would be easy to deal with him.

However, Blood Cloak Sword God was a powerful being. Why would he come to his own demise?

Therefore, the Grand Palace Lord, had no choice but to make peace with Blood Cloak Sword God.

"Before I returned, I personally visited that person. He said that the Light Palace can accept another disciple.

Xu Tongchen's talent far surpasses Huang Tu. He will surely be able to enter the top twenty, or even the top ten."

...

Seven Word Sect

The Grand Palace Lord's words were like thunder, deciding the fate of the Seven Word Sect with a single sentence.

Whether the Seven Word Sect could respond or not was not his concern.

...

The Next Day

With a nervous heart, Xu Tongchen once again arrived outside Qi Yuan's cave abode.

This time, unlike before, Qi Yuan and his two friends seemed to be playing a game.

Qi Yuan held a black piece, deep in thought about his next move.

"Qi Yuan, Fellow Daoist, long time no see." Xu Tongchen looked at Qi Yuan, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Who would have thought that this ordinary man, who cultivated with him every day, was the renowned Blood Cloak Sword God of Green Cloud Continent?

His unusual behavior caught Jiang Ya's attention. Jiang Ya glanced at Xu Tongchen and then at Qi Yuan, her mind filled with thoughts.

Qi Yuan glanced at Xu Tongchen and sat down next to him.

Kang Fulu was playing against Qi Yuan. He placed his black piece and looked at Qi Yuan with satisfaction, "Junior Brother, you've lost this game."

Qi Yuan looked at the board and could only shake his head, "Indeed, I'm only suitable for playing Five-Piece Chess."

Jiang Ya stood by, a smile in her eyes.

The chess skills of Qi Yuan and Kang Fulu were truly poor.

Kang Fulu's face was even more smug, but he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Junior Brother, did you not attend the Dragon Phoenix Banquet yesterday? Why didn't I see you there?"

"I did attend." Qi Yuan said, "You were with Jiang Ya Senior Sister at the time, and next to her was... Xu Tongchen."

"Huh, that's strange, I didn't see you." Kang Fulu said, turning to Xu Tongchen, "Fellow Daoist Xu, did you see my Junior Brother?"

Yesterday, he had followed Jiang Ya to the Dragon Phoenix Banquet and met Xu Tongchen, with whom Qi Yuan had a brief encounter. The three of them then traveled together.

"I... I saw him." Xu Tongchen glanced at Qi Yuan, unsure of how to respond.

How could he say that his Junior Brother was the terrifying Blood Cloak Sword God?

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Xu, you saw my Junior Brother and didn't tell me?"

Could it be that you were also intimidated by Blood Cloak Sword God's killing intent?

Mentioning this, Kang Fulu's expression turned solemn.

"This Blood Robe Sword God... we both hail from the Hundred Nations.

His strength is truly terrifying.

I don't know where he killed so many people, cultivating such a body of bloody aura.

Such an unparalleled killing god is probably reclusive, and ordinary people don't dare to stay with him for long, who knows when he might be killed by the Blood Robe Sword God."

Xu Tongchen, upon hearing this, was speechless.

He had no idea how to respond.

Qi Yuan looked at Kang Fulu, "Senior Brother, the Blood Robe Sword God is a good person. He's not interested in young people like you. He only likes to kill the elderly."

Kang Fulu gave Qi Yuan a glance. He had seen the Blood Robe Sword God slaughtering Celestial Prodigies like dogs. Qi Yuan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, knew nothing about the Blood Robe Sword God.

"Alright, go and cultivate." He couldn't be bothered to argue with Qi Yuan.

"Okay." Qi Yuan didn't refuse.

The last time, he seemed to sense something from the Solar Flame.

This time, he prepared to go all out and fully comprehend the Solar Flame.

Following Qi Yuan, Xu Tongchen entered the cave residence.

This time, as he entered the cave, his mindset was vastly different from before.

Previously, although he treated Qi Yuan equally, his pride as a top thirty Celestial Prodigy still surfaced from time to time.

But now, that pride had completely vanished, leaving only reverence and fear in his heart.

"Invoke the Solar Flame, this time I must comprehend it."

Hearing the senior's words, Xu Tongchen hurriedly invoked the Solar Flame.

Qi Yuan's expression immediately turned solemn, as he entered a state of focus.

The Solar Flame before them was dark inside and bright outside, emitting a golden light.

Qi Yuan gazed at the Solar Flame, as if he were standing within a sun.

Inside the sun, powerful flames raged, seemingly capable of burning everything.

Those flames seemed to sense Qi Yuan's presence, burning even more vigorously, appearing even more lively.

It was as if a daughter had met her godfather.

"Solar Flame, you are my sun." Qi Yuan murmured, repeating the words.

Within the sun, a strand of Solar Flame became extremely lively, suddenly flying out and landing in Qi Yuan's hand.

Qi Yuan's eyes brightened, and a strand of flame danced in his pupils.

He revealed a delighted expression, "I've comprehended the Solar Flame!"

Xu Tongchen was shocked, but remembering that the person before him was the Blood Robe Sword God, his shock lessened. "Congratulations, Senior! Congratulations, Senior!"

In truth, he was also curious.

Why would a Violet Mansion Great Ability who had comprehended the Primordial Divine Ability come to learn his Solar Flame? Even if he learned it, it would only be a powerful ordinary divine ability, useful only for killing Divine Infants, and completely ineffective against Violet Mansion cultivators of the same level.

Of course, these were just his thoughts; he would never ask such a question.

"During this time, you've worked hard, but it's a win-win situation." Qi Yuan said casually.

Naturally, he knew that with Xu Tongchen by his side, the Solar Flame would grow stronger.

The other party also treated him as an old man.

But Qi Yuan didn't mind.

"Senior, I bid you farewell." Xu Tongchen hesitated and said tentatively.

"Mhm." Qi Yuan understood that Xu Tongchen had recognized his identity, but he didn't mind.

After all, the other party's teacher was still a member of his orchestra.

When he went to besiege the Bright Palace, he had to bring him along.

After Xu Tongchen left, Qi Yuan entered the Divine Flower Society's jade slip.

During this time, he had been posting on the Divine Flower Society Forum, live-streaming the destruction of the Bright Palace.

He gained recognition from many people.

This time, he logged into his main account and entered the chat group of the Four Emperors of the Divine Flower Society.

As soon as he entered the group, he saw the Rogue Immortal Venerable boasting.

"You don't know, the Origin Venerable is a true big shot!"

"In the beginning, when he met me, he was overly humble. I even thought he was a true newbie.

But when the Violet Mansion appeared, he acted like a dog before the Origin Venerable!

I was thoroughly shocked!

The Origin Venerable is a true big shot!"

"Before the Origin Venerable left, he asked me to record the Dragon Phoenix Essence Core Dance.

During the Dragon Phoenix Essence Core Dance performance, I was allowed to stand directly on the stage.

If there weren't too many people... no, if I hadn't remembered the Origin Venerable's instructions, I would have really done something strange."

"I saw through the Origin Venerable at a glance. He's no ordinary person. I'm just waiting for the Bright Palace's destruction." The Ice Mountain Tyrantess spoke in the group.

"Sister Ice Mountain Tyrantess, you won't have to wait too long. My plan to destroy the Bright Palace is in its final stage. In a few more days, I'll go and destroy the Bright Palace." Qi Yuan said seriously.

Currently, the people of the Bright Palace had all retreated to their headquarters.

Rumor has it that the Grand Palace Lord will return soon, and he must capture them all at once.

"Wow, the big shot has arrived! I'll serve you tea and water!" The Rogue Immortal Venerable was very enthusiastic.

"Origin Venerable, you're here?" The Great Sun Flame Emperor sent a message in the group.

Qi Yuan saw his private messages flashing.

It was the Great Sun Flame Emperor.

"Origin Venerable, are you really going to destroy the Bright Palace?"

"Mhm, the plan is already in motion, how can I let it end halfway?" Qi Yuan replied.

He was curious as to why the Great Sun Flame Emperor was privately messaging him.

"The Bright Palace's strength is not ordinary.

They have a deep relationship with a Dark Deity Venerable." The Great Sun Flame Emperor reminded him.

"Even if the Tathagata Buddha came, he couldn't stop me!" Qi Yuan affirmed.

Seeing this, the Great Sun Flame Emperor knew the Origin Venerable's determination. He said,

"Your matter with the Bright Palace has caught the attention of the Divine Flower Society's higher-ups.

I estimate that the Divine Flower Society's leader has requested to add you as a friend on the jade slip of the Blood Robe Sword God."

"Is that so? I'll go and check it out later, and accept the request."

The forum administrator, the face of authority, still needed to be given some face.

"Origin Venerable... if a Dark Deity Venerable takes action against you regarding the Bright Palace, just mention the name of the Wind Lord, and you might be able to avoid a disaster." The Great Sun Flame Emperor hesitated for a moment before finally saying.

To be honest, he didn't think the Origin Venerable could destroy the Bright Palace.

He feared the Origin Venerable's temperament, worrying that he would offend that Dark Deity Venerable.
