Chapter 461: The Supreme, the Kun, and the Intangible

Chapter 461: The Supreme, the Kun, and the Intangible

Within the Celestial Cavern, Jiang Bu Ping was oblivious to the fact that he was seemingly trapped within, and continued to gather the Unyielding Qi.

"Almost there," he muttered, observing the quantity of Unyielding Qi he had absorbed. He continued his slaughter within the cavern.

"It's time to strengthen myself."

Jiang Bu Ping sat down in a certain spot within the Celestial Cavern. He unleashed his array plate, set up an array formation, and took out the divine soul treasure he had obtained from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Treasures.

"This will be perfect for refining into my Extreme Soul Divine Weapon."

He paid no heed to the powerful experts guarding the outside of the Celestial Cavern. This time, after enhancing himself, he would slaughter his way out, killing any obstructing experts and striking fear into his enemies.

"After this slaughter, it's time to head to the Grand Kun Realm."

It was time to settle some scores.

Jiang Bu Ping thought silently.

Three days later, Jiang Bu Ping, wielding his Extreme Soul Divine Weapon, strode towards the entrance of the Celestial Cavern, and a great battle ensued.

A lone man with a spear struck fear into the hearts of countless powerful experts!

...

The Supreme Realm, the first and most powerful realm in the Divine Domain.

The Supreme God Sect, the first sect in the Divine Domain, with a long heritage. It had existed since the emergence of the Divine Domain itself.

Ruling over the Supreme Realm, the sect also took on the responsibility of uniting the four directions and defending the Divine Domain against external threats during times of great crisis.

Moreover, the path to breaking through the upper limits of the Immortal Realm was also found within the Supreme Realm.

The Celestial Cavern, the number one cavern in the Divine Domain, was located within the Supreme Realm. It was not only the most formidable but also the most perilous cavern, inhabited by external foes such as the Netherworld, Witch Demons, and Extraterritorial True Spirits.

Inside the Supreme Temple, a group of powerful experts from the Supreme Sect had gathered.

At the head of the temple, on the master's seat, sat a figure shrouded in a faint light, its face and true strength indiscernible.

At that moment, the sect master of the Supreme God Sect stood respectfully in the temple.

"Envoy, Heaven Shattering Earth Shadow is causing chaos in the Divine Domain and colluding with external enemies. Should we gather the forces from all sides of the Divine Domain to exterminate them together?" the sect master asked respectfully.

A calm voice emanated from the figure in the master's seat, "The heavens and the earth have reached a time when change is necessary. If Heaven Shattering Earth Shadow wishes to act, let them. However, we must not allow them to truly plunge the Divine Domain into turmoil.

"The heavens and the earth can unite, but they will remain the heavens and the earth of my Great Cang Heaven and Earth, not the domain of outsiders. This is a matter of principle.

"When the time comes, activate the Heavenly Ladder, and naturally, someone will handle these matters."

The sect master asked respectfully, "Envoy, should we sit idly by and watch Heaven Shattering Earth Shadow's actions?"

"The heavens and the earth are bound to change. If Heaven Shattering Earth Shadow wishes to be the catalyst, let them be. However, if they seek to profit from it, it remains to be seen whether they have the capability.

"You only need to activate the Heavenly Ladder when the time comes."

The envoy spoke with tranquility.

"Understood!"

The sect master nodded respectfully.

Then he asked, "A powerful expert has emerged in the Divine Domain, slaughtering Immortal Realm warriors as if they were chickens. Could there be another powerful expert orchestrating this from behind the scenes?"

"Oh? Slaughtering Immortals like chickens? Aside from the people of Heaven Shattering, is there a Supreme Realm or Divine Sovereign Realm warrior involved? Or is there someone else plotting in the shadows?" The envoy expressed surprise.

An elder of the Supreme Sect spoke up, "We humbly report to the envoy that, based on the information we have gathered, they do not seem to be above the Immortal Realm, but at the same time, they do not seem to be at the Immortal Realm either. It's as if they are cultivating a unique and powerful martial path."

"Your strengths are too weak, which is why you were unable to see through their disguise and mistakenly believed them to be below the Immortal Realm," the envoy said nonchalantly.

"There are secret techniques that can conceal one's true cultivation, even masking their martial aura to create misunderstandings. And the ones who are most proficient in such techniques are none other than..." The envoy suddenly paused, leaving the sentence unfinished.

Upon hearing this, the sect master and the others present understood, and their faces lit up with realization.

If the envoy said so, it must be true.

Subsequently, the envoy imparted some instructions and gained a better understanding of the current situation in the Divine Domain.

"Envoy, now that Heaven Shattering Earth Shadow has infiltrated, will the presence of Supreme Realm or even Divine Sovereign Realm experts in the Divine Domain pose a threat to us? What if they target our sect? We may not be able to defend against them," the sect master expressed his concern.

In the Divine Domain, there should not be any warriors above the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, warriors above the Immortal Realm would not linger in the Divine Domain.

"Rest assured, Heaven Shattering wouldn't dare. Besides, if they truly make a move, we can always activate the Heavenly Ladder, and someone will come to eliminate them!" The envoy spoke with indifference, clearly not considering Heaven Shattering a threat.

"Envoy, is it truly possible for the heavens and the earth to unite?" The sect master couldn't help but ask.

"Whether or not unity is achievable remains to be seen, but the landscape of the heavens and the earth is bound to change," the envoy replied. As he finished speaking, the faint light surrounding him gradually faded.

"If there are unexpected changes, activate the Heavenly Ladder."

With that final sentence, the envoy's figure gradually disappeared.

With the envoy's appearance, some of their confusion had been dispelled, and the Grand Union Sect now knew what they had to do next.

"There shouldn't be any Shadow lurking within our Grand Union Sect, but just in case, all of you must stay vigilant and keep a close eye on the Divine Domain. Should any unexpected events occur, activate the Heavenly Ladder immediately!"

The Grand Union Sect Master spoke in a deep voice, addressing the elders.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

The Grand Union Sect began their preparations, bracing themselves for the impending changes in the Divine Domain and the shift in the heavens and earth.

In the Grand Kun Realm, within the Jiang Clan...

Inside the ancestral hall of the Jiang Clan, the current clan leader and the grand elders stood respectfully.

A faint light appeared on the statue of their ancestors, and the statue's eyes opened, as if it had come to life.

"We humbly welcome the Ancestor!"

The clan leader and the grand elders knelt on the ground.

A majestic voice echoed from the statue, "The heavens and earth are about to undergo some changes. When the Heavenly Ladder appears, someone will descend upon the Divine Domain. You must be prepared."

"Yes, Ancestor!"

The clan leader and the grand elders were filled with excitement.

"Tell me about the current situation in the Divine Domain."

"Yes, Ancestor!"

The clan leader and the grand elders began to narrate the events in the Divine Domain, including the unrest, and how the Heaven Shattering Earth Shadow had been pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Finally, the clan leader added, "I must report to the Ancestor that we have a rebellious descendant named Jiang Bu Ping. His soul was once tainted by the Unyielding Qi, but for some reason, he did not lose his wits and has since recovered. His strength is extraordinary, far surpassing his peers. He kills Immortal Realm warriors as if it were child's play..."

"Oh? Is that so?"

The voice from the statue sounded slightly surprised, then continued, "In that case, there might be a Supreme being hiding in the Divine Domain who helped him resolve the Unyielding Qi. But why would they set their sights on a descendant of the Jiang Clan? Given your description of Jiang Bu Ping's exceptional talent, it is somewhat understandable that he would attract attention. You may handle this matter as you see fit. As for the Supreme behind him..."

The statue paused for a moment before speaking again, "Supremes are not to be offended lightly. When the Heavenly Ladder is activated, someone will naturally come to discuss matters with them. Until then, you must use your own discretion."

The clan leader and the grand elders were slightly startled. Even the Ancestor seemed reluctant to offend this so-called Supreme?

However, it seemed that it was not a matter of reluctance, but rather a judgment based on the situation.

"Yes, Ancestor!"

The clan leader and the grand elders replied respectfully.

"Ancestor, what is this Supreme you speak of?"

The grand elder of the Jiang Clan couldn't help but ask.

"The Supreme Realm of martial arts."

The voice from the statue replied calmly.

It continued, "Above the Immortal Realm is the Heaven Fusion, and above that is the Divine Sovereign. The Divine Sovereign Realm of martial arts, and above that is the Supreme Realm."

The clan leader and the grand elders were stunned. They had only known that above the Immortal Realm was the Heaven Fusion Realm, but they had no knowledge of the realms beyond that.

In the past, the ancestors had always kept silent about this matter, only telling them to focus on their cultivation and that when the time came, they would ascend the Heavenly Ladder and leave the Divine Domain.

Today, the ancestor had finally answered this question, most likely because the heavens and earth were about to undergo a great change.

"Heaven Fusion is easily achieved, Divine Sovereign is difficult to attain, and Supreme is even rarer, one in ten thousand. As for the realm above Supreme, there is no need for you to know, as there are only a handful in the entire heavens and earth."

After the voice from the statue finished speaking, it added, "That's all for now. You must use your own judgment and not act recklessly!"

"Yes, Ancestor!"

The light from the statue faded, and the eyes that had opened once more closed. The strand of consciousness that had descended had disappeared.

The clan leader and the grand elders exchanged glances, their faces grave. They would have to be cautious in how they dealt with Jiang Bu Ping.

"What is the result of the siege on Jiang Bu Ping?"

The clan leader, regaining his composure, asked in a deep voice.

"We have not received any news yet!"

The grand elder shook his head.

He looked at the clan leader and said, "Jiang Bu Ping will definitely come to the Grand Kun Realm to seek an explanation. It is certain that Jiang Tian Ming must be killed. Clan Leader, do you want to use the power of the entire clan to protect Jiang Tian Ming?"

The other elders remained silent, their eyes fixed on the clan leader.

Jiang Tian Ming was the clan leader's third son, a favorite, and extremely talented.

However, Jiang Bu Ping's talent, which had been displayed recently, was even more extraordinary. Although Jiang Bu Ping was also the clan leader's son, he was born to a concubine and had not been favored.

It was only because of his exceptional talent that the grand elders had decided to bring him back to the clan and grant him the treatment befitting a genius. Who would have known that Jiang Tian Ming and Yun Yan Er would secretly scheme against Jiang Bu Ping?

When the grand elder had personally investigated and discovered that Jiang Bu Ping had been crippled, he had said nothing more and allowed Jiang Bu Ping to be expelled from the clan.

Now, the abandoned child of the Grand Kun Realm had made a remarkable comeback, slapping the Jiang Clan in the face. Countless forces and powerful beings in the Divine Domain were waiting to see the clan's embarrassment.

It was clear that Jiang Tian Ming, fearing Jiang Bu Ping's power, sought to borrow external forces to eliminate him.

And the clan leader, evidently biased towards Jiang Tian Ming, adopted a permissive attitude.

The leader of the Jiang Clan looked at the Great Elder and the others, "Should we gather the full strength of our clan to protect Jiang Tian Ming?"

"Let's discuss that after the battle," the clan leader said indifferently.

"The God Domain is in turmoil, and the heavens and earth are undergoing great changes. I worry about the future of our Jiang Clan. I hope, Clan Leader, that you will reconsider!" The Great Elder said before taking his leave.

In the Great Flame Realm, within the royal family of the Great Flame Dynasty, the Great Flame Emperor and several other royal powerhouses were also awaiting instructions.

In the Tai Miao Realm, an internal struggle within the Tai Miao God Sect had just concluded, resulting in the demise of several Immortal Venerable Realm elders.

At this moment, in a small garden located in the sect's core area, the current sect master and his entourage, including Xin Mengrou, arrived.

Xin Mengrou's strength alone didn't qualify her for entry, but her unique cultivation method granted her an extraordinary status, allowing her an exception.

"What is this place?" Xin Mengrou wondered, her heart trembling at the sight of the colorful and enchanting small garden.

For a moment, she couldn't distinguish if this was real or illusory.

After entering the garden, they approached a refined pavilion under the sect master's lead.

"Greetings, Envoy of the Upper Sect!" The Tai Miao Sect Master respectfully greeted.

The door of the pavilion, previously tightly shut, opened.

Upon entering, Xin Mengrou's eyes briefly scanned the interior and landed on a seated statue within.

The statue of a woman was flawless and ethereal, with a face that seemed to possess a transcendent beauty. It gave off a strange feeling of being both illusory and real at the same time.

The Tai Miao Sect Master immediately bowed down.

Xin Mengrou, following suit, hastily bowed as well.

The statue's eyes seemed to come alive, and its gaze fell upon her. For some reason, Xin Mengrou felt as if the statue was looking directly at her.

"The conflict within the Tai Miao Sect has ended. Whether it is the Dream Path or the Supreme Path, they are all part of the Tai Miao Path. From today onwards, there shall be no more internal strife. As members of the same sect, you shall unite and defend against external enemies." The statue's voice was cold and detached.

"Yes!" The sect master and the others hastily replied, their expressions turning solemn.

The sect master then reported on the situation in the God Domain, the infiltration of Heaven Shattering Earth Shadow, and the current state of the Tai Miao Dream Path.

"Heaven Shattering has overstepped its bounds. It's time to put an end to them," the statue said, its voice still devoid of emotion.

"Yes!"

Then, the statue's gaze shifted to Xin Mengrou.

"The Tai Miao Sect in the God Domain hasn't had a cultivator of your talent in a long time. You have done well. From today onwards, you shall lead the Tai Miao Dream Path."

Xin Mengrou was taken aback, and she quickly replied respectfully, "Disciple's strength is insufficient. I fear I am not qualified..."

"You shall stay here with me for a while, and I will guide you. You will soon break through to the Immortal Realm. The Dream Path, after all, is slightly different from the ordinary martial path."

"Yes, thank you, Envoy!" Xin Mengrou replied, her heart filled with joy.

The sect master and the others were surprised, especially the current leader of the Tai Miao Dream Path, who was astonished.

Could Xin Mengrou's talent be even more outstanding than they had anticipated, causing her to be favored by the envoy and directly appointed as the leader of the Dream Path? Regardless, Xin Mengrou taking over the Dream Path, especially with the envoy's endorsement and personal guidance, was undoubtedly a boon for the declining Dream Path.

After the sect master and the others left, the pavilion was empty except for Xin Mengrou. Suddenly, a female figure emerged from the statue.

She seemed ethereal, almost unreal, yet captivating.

Xin Mengrou dared not look directly and stood respectfully with her head lowered.

"Your cultivation of the Dream Path seems to be slightly different. Have you gained some insight of your own?" the woman asked curiously.

"Disciple once received guidance from a senior, and thus gained some insights," Xin Mengrou replied respectfully.

"Oh? And what is the name of this senior who guided you?"

"Disciple doesn't know!"

"If given the opportunity, I would like to meet this senior of yours and see who it is that has guided you in the Dream Path."

Xin Mengrou's head remained lowered, but her heart was pounding. Was this woman the founder of the Tai Miao Dream Path, the Ancestor of Tai Miao?
