Ata lake in the middle of the wilderness…
It was the resting spot for many of the waterfowl. Some of them came here to rest while the others were here to catch some fish to fill their bellies.
There was a palace on top of the lake. It emitted a divine light that made it look extraordinarily majestic.
There were several people around the lake. Some of them were standing in the air, while others were hiding in the clouds. There was also a group that was chatting and having a barbeque by the water. All of them
engaged in their own activity, but there was one common trait amongst them. That was, they were keeping an eye on a place very far away from them.
There were dozens of people sitting in the main hall, and the atmosphere was relatively lively.
“Guys, don’t you think our mission is a little bit too simple?”
“Simple? Yang Wei, it seems to me that you still cannot see through the appearance to perceive the essence.”
“Hah, come, Luo Feng, tell me the essence that you see.”
“We have been here for some time, so I’m sure all of us know most of the things that happened here. Let’s start with the catastrophe that befell Eastern Region. The catastrophe in Eastern Region has affected all nine
provinces. Countless sects and families were destroyed, and even the Qingyun Sect sustained a great loss. However, there’s only one sect that didn’t lose anything. That’s the Jiuyang Sect,” Luo Feng said. He was a
young man ina blue shirt, and there was a plumpy woman in his arms.
He swirled the wine and took a sip before continuing. “After the catastrophe, all the experts in the Yinmo Sect, Long Yuan, and the Submerged Dragon Immortal Union were killed in one night.
As for how they were killed? Although we don’t have any solid proof, I think the people from the Jiuyang Sect killed them.
“Some time ago, one of the First Seats of the Jiuyang Sect was found out to be a member of the Yinmo Sect. They were attacked by many clans and families from Qing Province, as well as the entire Eastern Region. Even
the Fo Sect from Western Region also joined forces with other people to crusade against them.
However, all of them were killed, so I can assure you that it was the Jiuyang Sect’s doing.
“The Jiuyang Sect is a second-rate sect on the surface. In the past, they only had one Level 7 or otherwise known as the Primal Spirit Great Monarch called Huo Daoren. Even the Qingyun Sect thought the same way as
well. Not long after, their Sect Master, Yan Yan, ascended into the Primal Spirit Realm.
“It’s not wrong to say that the Jiuyang Sect is nothing special.
“However, all of this changed when one disciple known as Zi Linglong appeared. She awakened the phoenix bloodline, and at a very young age, she defeated many Holy Sons and Daughters from Eastern Region and
Zhong Province. Even the eldest disciple of the Tianyuan School, the most ancient force in this world, was no match for her.
“When Zi Linglong awakened her phoenix bloodline, she was just a Level 1 expert and hadn’t gotten the ability to turn herself into the phoenix yet. Generally speaking, she wouldn’t inherit any memories from her
bloodline at all. Even if she did, it would be very few, so how did she get so strong? How did she manage to defeat those Holy Sons and Daughters? It doesn’t make any sense at all.
“The only possibility is that she has a terrifyingly strong person behind her to guide her and even further enhance the strength of her bloodline. At the same time, a powerful individual appeared in the Jiuyang Sect that
had the ability to cut down many Paradis experts from the Fo Sect. I guess he should be her guardian. Based on observations from afar, we still need more information if we want to know more about them.
“Most importantly, our teams have all the information about the disciples in the Jiuyang Sect. We even have checked that Huo Daoren several times, and guess what? We have only explored 70% of the Jiuyang Sect.
“There are only three people on Chuyang Peak. Gu Hai, the First Seat, and his two disciples, Zi Linglong and Jiang Ming. There’s nothing special about Gu Hai. Zi Linglong has a lot of potential, so she’s one of the
suspects. As for Jiang Ming, according to the information we’ve gathered, Jiang Ming is only a Level 3 expert. Although he has a lot of potential as well, he’s very normal.
“Besides, the Holy Daughter of the Riyue Sect is staying in the back mountain. I guess she wants to exchange skills with Zi Linglong. As for Chang Yiming, well, let’s not talk about him.
“As for that Level 9 expert, he has gone to Northern Region to wipe out those devils.
“We should’ve known everything about the Jiuyang Sect by now, but why is the exploration process only at 70%? Remember, our mission is to investigate the Jiuyang Sect. As for the person behind Zi Linglong, they
aren’t in the Jiuyang Sect.
“So how are we supposed to finish the remaining 30%?
“There is only one possibility—Chuyang Peak. There must be a secret hidden there! In my opinion, we shouldn’t act so carefully anymore. We should cast all our fear away and send our people to Chuyang Peak. Or we
should all go together and demand them to tell us the secret.
“It would be best if we could eliminate Chuyang Peak. Even if Zi Linglong has someone powerful to back her up, their world is currently being invaded by a devil army, so I don’t think they will have the leisure to care
about her. Besides, if we all work together, we can even easily destroy the Jiuyang Sect. We don’t have to worry about anything, so why should we waste our time?
“After we’ve finished our mission, we can go to Northern Region. I’m certain we’ll be able to gain something from it with our strength,” Luo Feng said.
Yang Wei scoffed and replied, “You talked so much, but all of these are nothing but your speculations.”
“Hah!” Luo Feng laughed. “Didn’t I already tell you? All secrets of the Jiuyang Sect come from Chuyang Peak. We can all go together and check it out ourselves. As for the powerful being behind Zi Linglong, I doubt they
would pose a threat to us.”
“Have you forgotten that countless experts were killed that night after the catastrophe? What if it has something to do with Chuyang Peak?” An old man chimed in with a frown. “Besides, you haven’t pointed out the
most crucial thing.”
“The most crucial thing?” Luo Feng frowned. “Are you talking about the mission, Ming Hai?”
“Exactly! It’s just a scouting mission, yet it needs ten teams? This obviously isn’t normal. I can even say that this mission might be a suicide mission. There’s a huge probability that all of us will be wiped out, and now you
want us to take a more proactive approach?” Ming Hao shook his head. “It’s always not wrong to be cautious.”
Suddenly, all of their expressions changed.
“Liang Yun from our team is dead!”
“Xiao Lei too!”
All of them jerked up from their seats, and their faces were dark.
“All of them were killed?” Yang Wei said, his voice thick with disbelief. “How is this possible? Each and every single one of them excels in the art of camouflage. How is there any possibility they would be discovered and
killed at the same time? The weakest of them was a Level 8 expert. They couldn’t even last for a minute?”
“All 10 of them had kept in touch with each other as well. If any of them was discovered, they could contact each other, but all of them were killed simultaneously. Guys, do you know what this means?” Luo Feng said,
his face turning pale with each passing second.
“Oh no! Guys, we have to leave!” Ming Hai knew what Luo Feng was trying to say.
“Since they could kill them in such a short time, they could find us as well. Now, I can assure you all that the destruction of the Yinmo Sect, Long Yuan, and the others are related to Chuyang Peak! We have to leave
now. Or else, it will be too late!”
As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he froze. He looked at the person in front of him, and his heart sank. “It’s too late!”
Bam!
As soon as Jiang Ming appeared, he enveloped the area with his World Projection and reduced all the beneficiaries on the outside into a blood mist.
He stretched his arm into the air and absorbed streams of origin essence into his inner world.
“This is great nourishment. I wouldn’t trade it even if someone gave me a medicine king!” Jiang Ming smiled.
He looked at the palace in front, and his eyes lit up.
After he killed them and absorbed their origin essence, even if it wouldn’t make much of a change to his inner world, it was better than nothing.
He summoned the Human Path Records and let it hover over his head.
“Seems like all of you are here.”
Jiang Ming smiled as he arrived at the door to the palace.
Their surroundings had been sealed away, so there was no way they could run away now.
“You’re Jiang Ming!?” The corner of Ming Hai’s lips twitched when he saw Jiang Ming. “So the person who hides most deeply in the Jiuyang Sect is not Zi Linglong but you!”
Apparently, he had gotten Jiang Ming’s portrait, so he could recognize him instantly.
“Our mission progress has reached 80%? He just shows himself, and the progress went up by 10%!?” Yang Wei’s voice reverberated throughout the hall, and his face was dark.
“You’re not even 30 years old, right? You’ve actually cultivated to such a degree, and the most frightening thing is that you’re so good at hiding that you could escape the eyes of the Qingyun Sect!” Ming Hai exclaimed.
“Jiang Ming, has Zi Linglong been your scapegoat the whole time?”
“Well, I wouldn’t use the word ‘scapegoat’. I’m just letting her develop by herself,” Jiang Ming replied. “How can I become like you guys?”
“What!?” Ming Hai’s pupils constricted. “Through invitation. Do you have someone powerful to back you up? Are you the one who destroyed the Yinmo Sect, Long Yuan, and the others?”
“Through invitation?” Jiang Ming frowned.
He knew Ming Hai understood what he was asking, but the answer he got was not the answer he wanted.
Ming Hai’s status did not mention anything either.
“Yes, it’s me. However, I don’t have anyone to back me up. I’m all by myself,” Jiang Ming replied. Then, he pointed upward and continued. “There is no other way? Is it a puppet of fairness and justice?”
“You killed all of them by yourself? Impossible!” Ming Hai exclaimed as he shook his head. “According to our investigation, some of them were Level 10 experts while the others were Level 8 and Level 9. There’s no way
you could kill them all by yourself.”
“I’ve answered your question, but you haven’t answered mine yet,” Jiang Ming said, looking coldly at him.
“Nope. There is no other way!” Ming Hai replied. He still couldn’t quite accept what he had just heard. “It’s the omnipotent God, or you can call it a program—”
He came to an abrupt stop before he could finish his sentence.
“System! Beam me back! Right now!”
Ming Hai felt that something around them prevented them from escaping, so he knew he could not wait any longer.
After all, he did not think he could go up against Jiang Ming.
[Ding! Beneficiary Ming Hai, your surroundings have been sealed by a divine item, so you can’t transfer you back here.]
“What!?”
Ming Hai’s face turned pale.
The rest of the people were stunned as well.
He forced himself to calm down and asked softly, “Can we call a truce?”
“You guys want to destroy my sect, and now you want to call a truce? Are you kidding me?” Jiang Ming scoffed.
“Please, Jiang Ming, please let us go. We didn’t want to do this either. If you can let us go, we can give you anything you want. Spiritual crystals, immortal crystals, divine crystals, medicine, artifacts… Just name it, and
we’ll give it to you!” Ming Hai said.
While he was trying to hold Jiang Ming back, he talked to the rest of the people through telepathy.
‘Wen Feng, prepare to move the palace. Guys, get yourself ready for a fight!”
“Ming Hai, you’re old,” Yang Wei said. “He’s alone, so why do you have to be so afraid of him? We’re beneficiaries of the Reincarnation Hall. We have gone through countless battles across many worlds in the past.
We’ve never lost hope, even in the direst situation. Ming Hai, don’t you forget about this. This is just a planar world. The strongest they could reach is Level 10, and all of us here are Level 10. With our skills, our special
abilities, and items, do you think we can’t kill him? Haha, I’m going to kill him right now!”
As soon as he finished talking, a sword that exuded an immense killing intent appeared in his hand.
While he swung his sword at Jiang Ming’s head, another person opened his mouth and threw an attack directly at Jiang Ming’s soul.
Jiang Ming lifted one finger and stopped both of their attacks. The storm of power that burst out from the collision sent Ming Hai and the other flying away.
‘Is he crazy?’
A thought appeared in Ming Hai and the others’ heads at the same time. ‘He’s trying to use his own body to stop the attack of an immortal weapon?’
Even Yang Wei was stunned.
However, what happened next sent a chill down their spines.
After all, not only did Jiang Ming appear unscathed from the attack, but the attack did not even leave a single scratch on his finger.
“This…” Yang Wei stammered. “Am… Am I dreaming?”
“Not bad,” Jiang Ming said as he threw the sword away.
He looked at his finger, and there was nothing but a scar there.
He chuckled.
Back when he was on the seventh floor of the Supreme Pagoda, he had defeated a Level 11 expert once.
After absorbing the World Heart Dongfang Chenxi had given to him, he started to grow nonstop.
He had no idea how strong he had become right now.
it seemed to him that the immortal weapon was nothing special, but he also understood that it was because Yang Wei did not bring out the full potential of the immortal weapon.
‘Even if he can use the full strength of the immortal weapon, it can’t cut through my bone. After my inner world transforms into a reality, not even a Level 11 immortal weapon will be able to harm me! Jiang Ming
thought.
“How can there be such a strong person like you in the human world?” Ming Hai said, his voice filled with admiration and fear.
Jiang Ming did not want to waste his time with them anymore. He threw a punch at them and reduced all of them into a bloody puddle.
He stepped into the palace and killed the rest of the people in there.
“The origin essence each of the 10 Imminent Immortal experts provides can speed up the evolution of my inner world for 1,000 years. How about the Extreme Path and the Paradis?”
Jiang Ming couldn’t wait any longer to test it out.
After collecting all of the loot, he did not return to Chuyang Peak. Instead, he went to Northern Region.
There were about 20 Lord God Space’s beneficiaries over there.
“My inner world will be able to turn into reality this time.”.
