Chapter 213: I, Chen Qiu, Can Block a Million Incarnation Realm Cultivators Alone. (Part 2)

"Before planning, consider the potential for failure."

"No matter what we do, we must first consider the consequences of failure and prepare a backup plan before we start planning."

"This way, we can ensure that even if we fail, we have a high chance of survival."

"Sigh."

The Green Mountain Palace Elder also sighed helplessly, "I don't even know how to describe you. If I say you're smart, you don't look like a normal person. If I say you're foolish, sometimes you think a lot."

"You too."

The Buddhist Elder also gave a very high evaluation of the Green Mountain Palace Elder, feeling a sense of mutual appreciation, "I find that you can accept many ideas and are not stubborn at all. You're not as stubborn as the other sect elders."

"Especially when kneeling, you don't drag it out."

"Most sect elders who have held high positions for a long time can't kneel like you do without dragging it out."

"I've decided—"

"Anyway, the third version update of the game 'Turmoil Under Heaven' has opened a 'Vast Channel' in Central Province, allowing anyone to travel to the Second-Rank Continent, the Vast Continent, for just a thousand Medium-grade Spirit Stones."

"I've always heard that there's a higher-ranked continent above Xuantian Continent, the Vast Continent, where the spiritual energy is richer and opportunities are more abundant."

"The Buddhist Sect has nothing to do with me anymore."

"I plan to go to the Vast Continent alone and see if there's a chance to break through to the Profound Void Stage. My Half-step Profound Void Stage in Xuantian Continent means I'll never be able to reach the Profound Void Stage in this lifetime."

"As you know, Half-step Profound Void Stage is a failed breakthrough at the Peak Divine Transformation. For people like us who have broken through but managed to survive, it's impossible to break through to the Profound Void Stage again in Xuantian Continent. There might still be a chance in the Vast Continent."

"I'll have to return to solitary cultivation again."

"Do you want to come with me? We can form a team."

"The two of us? As a team?" The Green Mountain Palace Elder looked at the Buddhist Elder with a complex expression and said, "Don't you feel that these four words sound a bit strange?"

"We don't seem like a group that can work together."

"Do you think you're reliable? I feel like if I stay with you, I might get dragged down by you."

"Not at all." The Buddhist Elder's expression turned serious. "I'm sincerely inviting you. Think about it, when we go to the Vast Continent, we'll be in unfamiliar territory. Compared to the cultivators you've never met there, I've known you for a long time, and you know me better, right?"

"Let's go together."

"It's definitely better than going alone, don't you think?"

"Alright!" The Green Mountain Palace Elder clenched his teeth. "I'll trust you this once, but you must not betray me!"

"Rest assured, those who have left the secular world never lie."

Xuantian Continent, Central Province.

Chen Qiu's plan was simple: visit each sect one by one, and the principle was clear.

For those with deep grudges, slaughter the entire sect and empty their treasure troves.

For lesser grudges, if they show understanding, reduce the slaughter and empty their treasure troves.

For those without grudges, if they show understanding, take a symbolic amount from their treasure troves.

Along the way, everyone was very cooperative.

It seemed as if they knew that Chen Qiu was about to travel to the Vast Continent, and the elders of the various sects in Central Province were doing their best to assist him. Later, these sects would send people to the Nine States, the Demon State, and the various powers of the Demon and Beast Races to inscribe the words 'Under the Jurisdiction of Mock Heaven Sect' on their sect gates and walls.

This way—

He could complete twelve milestone tasks while also replenishing the foundations of the Mock Heaven Sect and the Dragon Clan.

Central Province, Falling Petal Valley.

This was a top-tier sect that had secluded itself multiple times and reappeared just as many times. After being deceived for the last time, the Valley Master of Falling Petal Valley angrily said,

"Seclusion, seclusion, seclusion! I'm sick of it!"

"Only cowards seclude themselves! I don't believe that with the Profound Void Stage cultivator here, the Mock Heaven Sect can turn the world upside down!"

And now—

The Valley Master of Falling Petal Valley stared expressionlessly at the sky, where nearly a hundred Divine Transformation Stage dragons were flying, almost covering the entire sky. On the lead dragon, there sat a somewhat chubby man, looking down at him with a smile that seemed both amused and mocking.

He recognized this man.

The second-in-command of the Mock Heaven Sect, the Great Elder Fatty Dragon. Although they had never met, he was a key figure in the sect, and his image had been circulated through Memory Stones.

". . ."

After a long silence, the Valley Master of Falling Petal Valley turned to his Great Elder and said, "I thought the Dragon Clan was on the brink of extinction?"

"It doesn't seem like it."

"Hmm."

The Great Elder of Falling Petal Valley nodded silently, then after a pause, he said in a hoarse voice, "I was the one who suggested seclusion, Valley Master."

"Are you saying it's my fault?"

"It's not mine, at least."

Upon hearing this, the Valley Master of Falling Petal Valley felt a mix of anger and laughter, but now was not the time for such talk. Without the Profound Void Stage cultivator, he dared not provoke the Mock Heaven Sect, let alone that damn Dragon Clan!

When did the Dragon Clan start breeding like rabbits, producing a whole litter of cubs at once?

After taking a deep breath, he immediately dispelled the mountain's protective array and looked up at Fatty Dragon, who had descended from the sky. With a forced smile, he said, "Welcome the Great Elder of the Mock Heaven Sect to Falling Petal Valley."

Fatty Dragon, now on the ground, waved his hand, signaling the nearly hundred Dragon Clan members in the sky to transform into human form and follow him. Then, surrounded by nearly a hundred Divine Transformation Stage Dragon Clan members, he walked proudly towards the Valley Master of Falling Petal Valley. With a friendly grin, he held up a fruit basket and said, "Don't be afraid. We're just here to pay a visit. We've heard of Falling Petal Valley's reputation, so we came to see you."

"We don't know what you like to eat, so we brought some fruit. Don't despise it."

"I won't."

The Valley Master of Falling Petal Valley's expression turned serious. "I don't despise it at all. But Elder, I have some important intelligence to report."

"What intelligence?"

"The other top-tier sects have probably retreated into their small worlds to seclude themselves again. We in Falling Petal Valley are experts in intelligence, and we know the exact coordinates of their small worlds on Xuantian Continent."

"I can lead the way."

"Oh?"

A glimmer of joy flashed in Fatty Dragon's eyes. "After finding the coordinates of the small worlds on Xuantian Continent, what should we do to force them out of their small worlds?"

"It's very simple, we just need a top-tier Array Master to help us. I know a top-tier Array Master from the Xuantian Continent named Zhang Kui, who was once ranked second on the Sin Points leaderboard."

"I can take you to him first, and then he can help us break into the miniature worlds where those top-tier forces are hiding."

"Onward."

Fatty Dragon was pleased and patted the Falling Petal Valley Valley Master on the shoulder, "As for your gift to our sect, I'll take care of it. Consider it waived."

The Falling Petal Valley Master immediately smiled, "Then thank you, Elder."

Hmm, seclusion?

Even their Falling Petal Valley has been found, why do you think you can continue hiding?

If you want to surrender, everyone should surrender together!

In an instant—

The Mock Heaven Sect divided into four groups and visited every sect in Central Province. Of course, they didn't go empty-handed; when they visited, they carried fruit baskets or similar gifts.

They weren't an evil sect that would rob people directly.

But since they had accepted their gifts, it was only natural to return the favor.

Central Province, Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

"Umm..."

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Leader, a Peak Divine Transformation elder, looked at Ao Tian, who was sitting in front of him, and hesitantly asked, "My disciple, Little Moon, had a connection with the Mock Heaven Sect Leader. I wonder if..."

"Oh?"

Ao Tian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the shy girl standing behind the elder. He furrowed his brows slightly; the girl was indeed quite beautiful. Perhaps Chen Qiu did have a connection with her, in which case they would have to let the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect go for now.

However, at this moment, the distance between Chen Qiu and the elder's communication ring had exceeded its range, and they couldn't contact each other.

After hesitating for a moment, the elder asked, "Did they share a bed?"

"Huh?"

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Leader was taken aback, then blurted out, "No, my disciple only said they held hands."

"Holding hands is nothing."

Ao Tian rolled his eyes in annoyance, then waved his hand. He took a fruit basket from the Black Dragon behind him and placed it in front of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Leader.

"Here, a gift from the Mock Heaven Sect, with a personal greeting from Sect Leader Chen."

"You can decide on the return gift."

"It's only polite to reciprocate."

After an incense stick's worth of time, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Leader watched as Ao Tian and his group left. He looked up at the words "Under the Jurisdiction of the Mock Heaven Sect" carved on his sect's mountain gate, then looked down at the basket of spiritual fruits.

After a long silence, he tremblingly took out a spiritual fruit and put it in his mouth, "Try it. This spiritual fruit might be the most expensive one you've ever eaten in your life."

"Master..."

Little Moon, standing by his side, felt guilty and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I had captured Chen Qiu back then, we wouldn't be in this situation today."

"Hehe..."

The elder gave a dry laugh, then threw the fruit pit far away, "Taste it. It's quite sweet, a really good fruit."

In an instant!

Almost all the sects in Central Province, except for some top-tier forces that had hidden in miniature worlds, were visited by the Mock Heaven Sect. Moreover, these sects were given tasks to visit other states and visit every sect there.

And on every sect's mountain gate and city walls, the words "Under the Jurisdiction of the Mock Heaven Sect" were carved.

These Central Province sects would then assign tasks to the sects in other states, such as the strongest sect in Jingzhou. These sects would further distribute the tasks to other sects, who would then pass them down.

As this process continued, the meaning gradually changed."

With the tacit approval of the upper echelons, the task evolved from carving the phrase on every sect's mountain gate and city walls to carving it on every shop and residence in each city.

Thus—

A grand inscription campaign began, spreading from Central Province to the surrounding areas across the entire Xuantian Continent.

Xuantian Continent, Demon State.

"Umm..."

The Demon Clan Leader looked at Chen Qiu approaching from a distance, his body trembling involuntarily, his voice carrying a hint of fear. He forced a smile, "Sect Leader Chen, we are allies, working together."

At this moment—

Most of the high-level cultivators on the Xuantian Continent had heard of a random event.

Random events occasionally occurred on the Xuantian Continent, like the "Long Night Approaches" in Quzhou, and now there was another random event.

"The Mock Heaven Sect's Fruit Basket."

If you see someone from the Mock Heaven Sect carrying a fruit basket towards you, congratulations, you've encountered a special random event. Accepting the fruit basket means you've accepted the Mock Heaven Sect's goodwill and should prepare a return gift.

If you refuse the fruit basket,

Congratulations, you've been labeled as an evil sect by the Mock Heaven Sect.

And now,

He saw Chen Qiu approaching with a gentle smile, leaning on the Heavenly Clue Umbrella. The scholar behind him held a sword in his left hand and a fruit basket in his right, and the group walked towards him.

The smile seemed friendly, but for some reason, he felt an intense sense of fear.

"Hey."

Soon, Chen Qiu reached the Demon Clan Leader, waved his hand, and signaled the scholar to hand the fruit basket to the Demon Clan Leader, saying with a smile, "We've fought side by side before, so I won't go into details. I'm here to ask a favor. I need you to help us carve some words on your territory."

"Phew!"

The Demon Clan Leader heaved a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said with a trembling voice, "You scared me. I'll definitely take care of this matter for you, Sect Leader Chen. Rest assured!"

"By the way,"

Just as Chen Qiu was about to leave, he suddenly turned to the Demon Clan Leader and said with a raised eyebrow, "The Vast Continent Passage in Central Province has opened. Have you considered going to the Vast Continent to seek a breakthrough opportunity?"

"..."

The Demon Clan Leader remained silent for a while before shaking his head, "I haven't decided yet. There are still many things I can't let go of here in the Demon Clan. Even if I go, it will probably be after my son has grown up."

"Mhm."

Chen Qiu nodded and didn't ask further. He turned and left.

He still had several more places to visit, so he was quite busy.

Xuantian Continent, south of the Nine States, Demon Race territory.

This was a tough nut to crack.

With over a hundred Demon Race Divine Transformation cultivators, the Mock Heaven Sect's small team couldn't handle them. So, after visiting all the surrounding sects, the entire Mock Heaven Sect gathered in Central Province, led by Chen Qiu.

A large group marched toward the sky above the Demon Race Forest, currently in a standoff.

Behind Chen Qiu were over fifty Mock Heaven Sect disciples at the initial Divine Transformation stage, along with Ao Tian, who was at the peak Divine Transformation stage, and nearly a hundred adult dragons at the Divine Transformation stage, making a total of over a hundred and fifty Divine Transformation cultivators. Such a formidable force, along with Chen Qiu, who was at the late Divine Transformation stage.

In the sky above the Demon Race Forest, a young man standing on a tree branch looked at the group with fear and said, "Could it be that you truly intend to swallow our Demon Race with just your sect?"

"What if our Demon Race refuses?"

"Would you dare to start a war?"

"Just a bunch of initial Divine Transformation cultivators, we have several peak Divine Transformation cultivators on our side."

"..."

Chen Qiu paused for a moment, then sighed lightly, "I am not here to demand the wealth of the Demon Race, nor am I here with the intention of starting a war. What I need is merely to inscribe a few words like 'Under the jurisdiction of the Mock Heaven Sect' in your Demon Race Forest. Even if you erase these words later, it would be fine."

"Such a small matter, what would happen if you agree?"

"Do we have to kill some people before you listen?"

In the Demon Race Forest, the young man standing on the tree branch turned to look at the increasing number of Demon Race Divine Transformation cultivators gathering, now totaling nearly two hundred. His confidence grew slightly as he looked at Chen Qiu and sneered, "What if I refuse?"

"Your Human Race has an old saying."

"Today, one city is ceded, tomorrow two cities, and the day after, a hundred cities."

"The Demon Race Forest is a forbidden zone for the Human Race. To inscribe 'Under the jurisdiction of the Mock Heaven Sect' in the Demon Race Forest is simply laughable. Can your Mock Heaven Sect control the Demon Race?"

"Or do you think that by inscribing these words, the world will belong to you?"

"Never mind."

Chen Qiu waved his hand and did not say more. Instead, he turned to Ao Tian, "Didn't you say you have a few good friends among the Demon Race? Call them out first to avoid hurting your own people later."

"Not possible."

Ao Tian shook his head, "My Demon Race friends are not here. They are in the sea near Dragon Island. It is ten thousand eight thousand miles away from here. How could I have friends so far away?"

"Alright."

Chen Qiu nodded, then slowly opened the Heavenly Clue Umbrella and held it in his hand, taking a step forward. Dense clouds quickly spread over the Demon Race Forest.

It was noon, and the sun was blazing, but the sky suddenly darkened visibly, and a fierce storm swept in, making Chen Qiu's clothes flutter in the wind. The entire world was charged with the unstable energy of lightning.

Countless Thunder Dragons roared and surged in the clouds.

Chen Qiu lifted the edge of the umbrella and looked at the group of Demon Race Divine Transformation cultivators in the sky above the forest, his face calm, "Are you really unwilling to cede this city today, Demon Race?"

"Not ceding!"

The young man standing in the sky above the Demon Race Forest, his face dark, felt the power of the heavens and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Chen Qiu, although you have a hundred and fifty Divine Transformation cultivators, they are all at the initial stage!"

"I have over two hundred Divine Transformation cultivators, all at the peak late stage!"

"Not ceding, what can you do?"

Chen Qiu shook his head and suddenly chuckled. His divine sense instantly locked onto all the Demon Race Divine Transformation cultivators, and a faint blue lightning aura flowed over his body.

Standing in the midst of the storm, he shook his head again.

"You—"

"Will never know that I, Chen Qiu, can block a thousand Divine Transformation cultivators alone."

As he spoke, a purple-blue light circle instantly appeared under his feet and quickly spread outward.

The Thirteenth Rank Divine Transformation Domain "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" was activated!

Soon, a large and a small Nascent Soul appeared beside him.

A milky white light circle centered on one Nascent Soul quickly spread outward, activating the Thirteenth Rank Divine Transformation Domain "Boundless Spirit Energy." Another snow-white light circle centered on the other Nascent Soul rapidly enveloped all the Demon Race Divine Transformation cultivators.

The Thirteenth Rank Divine Transformation Domain "Snow Births All" was activated.

In an instant—

Three Thirteenth Rank Divine Transformation Domains were activated simultaneously!

The air was filled with countless pale white snowflakes and continuously appearing and disappearing thunder arcs.

The Demon Race Divine Transformation cultivators' domains hadn't even fully manifested before they were completely suppressed, unable to open at all.

"Damn it!"

The young man standing on the tree branch in the Demon Race Forest saw this and his face changed drastically. He had long known that Chen Qiu possessed a Twelfth Rank Divine Transformation Domain, as it was announced in the Heavenly Path Edict. But he himself had a Tenth Rank Divine Transformation Domain!

This was something the Human Race did not know!

This was his confidence. Although a Twelfth Rank Divine Transformation Domain was strong, it could not absolutely suppress his Tenth Rank Domain. It could only weaken his Divine Transformation Domain. As long as it couldn't absolutely suppress his Divine Transformation Domain, he could still exert his own strength!

However, he just discovered that his domain could not be activated at all.

This meant that Chen Qiu's domain was a Thirteenth Rank Divine Transformation Domain. But how could this be possible? A Twelfth Rank Divine Transformation Domain was the limit. How could there be a Thirteenth Rank Divine Transformation Domain? It was simply impossible!

However, no matter how impossible he thought it was, it was already too late to think about it now!

"We will cede, we will cede!"

The young man roared in rage, his eyes bloodshot, and quickly shot out of the domain, preparing to escape the domain's range.

However—

"Too late."

Chen Qiu extended his left palm and slowly clenched it.

In the next moment, countless Thunder Dragons carrying fierce cultivation power surged out of his left palm.

A blinding flash of light swept across the sky above the Demon Race Forest.

In the instant the lightning froze, the storm and the blood mist from the exploding Demon Race Divine Transformation cultivators merged into an extremely dazzling scene, and...

Chen Qiu, holding the Heavenly Clue Umbrella in the storm, his face calm, the light on his face alternating between light and dark under the lightning.

"Merely ants."
