Chapter 108: A Return-to-Void Powerhouse, Preparing for Breakthrough
In the past, I had no choice, but now things are different!
With the Old Monster, a powerhouse who had lived for over ten thousand years, backing you, you no longer needed to fear beating the young only for the old to show up.
“You! You dare kill someone from the Celestial Mystery Holy Land? You’re finished!” The Celestial Mystery Holy Land disciple threatened as he backed away.
“So noisy!” You cast your gaze over the Celestial Mystery Holy Land disciples present, chuckled lightly, then struck directly!
This was, after all, only a small Secret Realm, and with the Celestial Mystery Holy Land’s reputation present, most of their disciples here were only at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages. The leading Spirit Transformation cultivator had already been slain by you.
The remaining cultivators were no match for you at all. The Human Sovereign Banner appeared, and every Remnant Soul within it surged forth.
In but a short moment, all the Celestial Mystery Holy Land cultivators present were drawn into your Human Sovereign Banner, contributing to its advancement to the Heaven Rank.
After the battlefield was cleaned up, you rode your Flood Dragon toward the Void City.
“Have you heard? Someone killed an Outer Sect Elder of the Celestial Mystery Holy Land, and even killed quite a few Outer Sect disciples!”
“Holy shit, who’s got the guts to provoke the Celestial Mystery Holy Land?”
“Who knows? But I heard it was some young man, and he even has a Flood Dragon as a mount.”
“Huh? Look, is it him?”
“Hiss, let’s go, let’s go. This is a ruthless one who dares kill even the Celestial Mystery Holy Land’s people. Let’s stay far away.”
I didn’t expect the news to have spread this far already? On the way to the Void City, watching the cultivators avoid you, you muttered to yourself.
“Fellow Daoists, please wait. This humble one wishes to ask a few things.” Your figure shifted, suddenly appearing before the two and blocking their path.
“Heh.” One of the mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivators gave a hollow laugh. “Fellow Daoist, please speak.”
“How did you learn of this matter?” It had only been three days since you left the Secret Realm.
“Uh, the Celestial Mystery Holy Land has already issued a wanted order for you, Fellow Daoist. Right now, their disciples in the area are all searching for your whereabouts!”
“And I heard that the one leading the chase this time is a Return-to-Void realm cultivator!” the passerby said with great seriousness.
“Heh, is that so? They really do think highly of me!”
Watching the two’s backs as they left, you pondered while traveling.
If Spirit Transformation cultivators had only barely comprehended some Heavenly Dao laws, then Return-to-Void cultivators could grasp a portion of the Heavenly Dao laws for their own use!
The gap between them was something a mere peak Nascent Soul cultivator like you could not cross!
The reason you had been unable to break through to Spirit Transformation before was because the Heavenly Dao laws were incomplete; once you broke through, there would be flaws.
But now, the Heavenly Dao laws were about to be completed, and it was time for you to prepare for your breakthrough to Spirit Transformation!
Back when you were playing chess in the Northern Holy City, you had already begun to comprehend some Heavenly Dao laws.
Later, the Old Village Chief’s battle with the Heavenly Dao, and the time your Primordial Spirit was burned by the Law of Fire, had allowed you to comprehend even more.
On top of that, you had already devoured a portion of the Heavenly Dao’s authority, so you understood the power of laws quite well now.
At this moment, you could break through to Spirit Transformation at any time!
You had originally planned to wait until you returned to the Void City, and after the Old Monster protected you, then break through. But now you decided to wait no longer!
Opening your map, you saw it would take seven more days to reach the Void City. You decided to find a safe place nearby and break through there!
You arrived at a place in Central State with relatively abundant spiritual qi, and learned there was a sect nearby whose highest-ranking Ancestor was a Spirit Transformation cultivator.
You brought your Flood Dragon and silently infiltrated the sect, heading straight for the Sect Master.
“Who goes there!” Lu Xiaofeng, an early-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator, looked at you appearing out of nowhere, and his heart was instantly alarmed. He was about to strike.
Bang! One punch from you, and Lu Xiaofeng, an early-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator, immediately became obedient.
“Senior, spare me! This junior knows his mistake.” Lu Xiaofeng, dragging his heavily injured body, knelt and begged for mercy, extremely decisively.
“Take me to see your Ancestor. I have some business with him.”
“This…” Lu Xiaofeng hesitated slightly, but after meeting your gaze, he hurriedly nodded and agreed.
The sect’s forbidden ground, the secluded cultivation site of the late-stage Spirit Transformation Ancestor. You sensed the density of spiritual qi here and were quite satisfied.
“Ancestor…” Lu Xiaofeng stood outside the door and called softly.
“Hm? Didn’t I tell you not to disturb I while I’m in seclusion unless it’s important?” A majestic voice came from within.
Lu Xiaofeng raised his head to look at you. You walked to the door, and with just a single punch, you shattered the barrier capable of withstanding a full-power strike from a late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator!
A white-haired late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator appeared, his gaze toward you filled with deep wariness.
You couldn’t be bothered to waste words. The Human Sovereign Banner appeared in your hand, releasing Spirit Transformation Remnant Souls to disrupt his Primordial Spirit.
Then, while he was off guard, you closed in fast. With just three punches, you directly gravely wounded the late-stage Spirit Transformation Ancestor.
Against a Body Cultivator’s close combat, a Dharma cultivation had no chance of victory!
Throughout the entire process, Lu Xiaofeng only watched from the sidelines, not daring to join in at all.
The Spirit Transformation Ancestor lay on the ground, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Barely breathing, he said, “Cough, cough. This humble one does not know how I offended Senior. Please tell me, so I may die with understanding.”
“You didn’t offend me. I just want to borrow your sect’s precious land for a while. I will leave once I’m done.”
“Huh?” The Spirit Transformation Ancestor lying on the ground waiting for death was a bit dumbfounded. He asked again, somewhat uncertain, “Is that all?”
You nodded. “That is all.”
“This…” The Spirit Transformation Ancestor was stunned. Looking at his own near-death appearance, he felt like weeping but had no tears. Is this how you ask someone for a favor?
Seeing his expression, you casually tossed out two Earth-Rank Mid-Grade Artifacts. “These two artifacts will count as compensation for you.”
“Of course, just in case, you two still need to hand over your soul blood. When I leave, I will naturally return it to you.”
The Spirit Transformation Ancestor and Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly. Facing your incomparably powerful strength, they had no other choice but to compromise, obediently offering up their soul blood.
In the world of cultivation, there was no right or wrong. Only strength reigned supreme!
You nodded in satisfaction. “Leave now. The sect continues as usual. Do not expose my whereabouts!”
