10,000 Years In A Cultivation Sect: I Obtained A Powerful Technique From The Start Novel - Chapter 244
Chapter 244: Sage Transformation, Hemi-Sage, Demi-Sage
In the antechamber of the Heavenly Court. The Great Heavenly Venerate was still looking at the World Monitoring Mirror. When Kunpeng arrived at the Infinite Realms Battlefield, an excited expression hopped onto his face.
“I have a feeling. I think that the Northern Emperor won’t be able to get what he wants from this fight!” he said.
“Your Majesty, you’re the lord of all universes. You govern over a billion sentient beings, and man the boundary of the universe. You can communicate with everything in the universe and you can predict the future,” Star Lord Taibai said reverently, “Since you’ve said that, then the Northern Emperor would certainly not be able to get what he wants.”
“You’re still such a smooth talker,” the Great Heavenly Venerate said with a chuckle.
“Your Majesty, you know me very well, so you should know that I’m an honest person. I’ll never tell lies,” Star Lord Taibai replied.
The Great Heavenly Venerate nodded.
Then, both of them turned their heads and looked at the World Monitoring Mirror. However, they couldn’t see anything once Kunpeng went into the Tianyuan Realm.
“This place…” The Great Heavenly Venerate frowned. “Could it be that the previous Heavenly Court has left a formation for them?”
“I don’t think so!” Star Lord Taibai frowned. “According to the record, there are the Ten Directions Annihilation Formation, the Yin-Yang Ash Transformation Formation, Great Astral Formation, the Four Saint Beasts Heavenly Suppression Formation, the Nine Heavens and Ten Directional Immortal Destruction Formation, and the Sage Transformation Formation. Some of these great formations have been lost in time, while the others are kept in treasures or have been activated. None of them have ever been passed down to other people. Even if someone manages to learn it from somewhere, activating these formations require a huge price. It isn’t something that can be handled by a mere planar world. Even the remnant of the previous Heavenly Court couldn’t sustain it either. According to what we’ve seen from the mirror, it doesn’t look like the works of a great weapon, so I guess the only explanation is that it’s something he has inherited.”
“The Sage Transformation Formation!” The Great Heavenly Venerate mumbled, “Something he has inherited huh… I guess you’re right.”
A strange light flitted across his eyes. In the next second, they saw the
Immediately afterward, they saw in the World Monitoring Mirror that the clouds above the Tianyuan Realm suddenly swirled, and then a sword energy appeared from within. The sword energy tore the sky asunder and pierced through the depths of time and space.
Even though it was just a flitting second, the Great Heavenly Venerate saw it clearly with his eyes and his expression changed. He jerked up from his throne and said, “That’s the power of a Hemi-Sage. Is it him or him?”
“If it’s him, then the Northern Emperor would be a goner. If it’s not him, then that place would be even more terrifying than we originally thought!” Star Lord Taibai’s expression changed as well. “Hold on for a second, Your Majesty. Something isn’t right. The Northern Emperor has yet activated his authority as the emperor of the north.”
“Interesting! This is interesting!” The smile on the Great Heavenly Venerate’s face was fading as he slowly took his seat.
Then, he saw Kunpeng running out of the Tianyuan Realm.
“This is getting even more interesting!’ The Great Heavenly Venerate squinted his eyes and his voice was cold.
“What…” Star Lord Taibai was stunned. “Is the Northern Emperor running away? But he was the one who unleashed that sword energy, so why…”
He paused for a moment, pressed his lips tightly, and he felt raw in his throat. “There are three conclusions we can make. First, the Northern Emperor has somehow gotten an opportunity that allows him to unleash sword energy with the power of a Demi-Sage, but he failed to cut down the man from the human world. Second, the Northern Emperor couldn’t activate his authority as the emperor of the north in that area. Third, the man from the human world possesses a power that surpasses a Quasi-Sage, but this is strange. If he really is that strong, how would his world get destroyed by some Demon Lords and get pulled to the Infinite Realms Battlefield by an Immortal Lord with a Great Overarching Immortal Weapon?”
“One thing I can be certain of is that the man from the human world hasn’t achieved the Great Overarching Realm yet. Therefore, there’s only one possibility!” The Great Heavenly Venerate said, “This human world is special. It’s more special than any we have seen before.”
“Maybe…”
“Let’s keep watching,” the Great Heavenly Venerate said.
The Infinite Realms Battlefield, on top of Chuyang Peak.
Linglong was both excited and shocked as she looked at the battle between Jiang Ming and Kunpeng. She was excited because her senior brother was able to severely wound Kunpeng, while she was shocked because Kunpeng was still able to run away in that condition.
She knew the Tianyuan Realm was special. It was enveloped in a very strange power, and once Kunpeng left this place, would her senior brother still be able to kill him?
Even though she was anxious, there was nothing she could do about it.
She clenched her fist tightly and sighed.
Meanwhile, the reason Jiang Ming chased after Kunpeng without any hesitation was that he had seen his status.
Name: Beiming Kunpeng.
Race: Demon.
Gender: Male.
Cultivation base: Quasi-Sage Realm (Severely weakened after cutting himself into half)
Background: The Northern Emperor of the Honggu Heavenly Realm, or otherwise known as the Black Emperor.
Relationship: -99.
Innate Talent: Quasi-Sage.
Status: While he was in seclusion, he sensed that his beloved son was in danger, so he came out of his seclusion and rushed toward the Infinite Realms Battlefield, hoping that he could save him.
When he was traveling in the depths of time and space, he felt a pang of pain in the heart and he was shocked. His son was dead.
He was furious when he found out that someone had killed his son, and he swore to himself that he was going to kill the murderer even if he was the Great Heavenly Venerate himself.
After he had arrived in the Infinite Realms Battlefield, he traced his son and came to a place.
When he arrived there, he found out that all of the inhabitants were humans. He felt they were weak and he had the urge to devour them all. It was just that there was one thing he did not understand. He did not know how they managed to survive since their world was on the verge of destruction. However, upon a second thought, he felt that they must be protected by the one who killed his son.
He decided to wipe out all of them to avenge his son.
Afterward, two people appeared in his vision. One of them was a man while another was a woman. The woman was in the Taiyi Realm, and although she was strong, he doubted she could kill his son. Therefore, he turned his target to the man who he couldn’t see through.
At the same time, he felt something was strange about the place, but he shoved aside the feeling as he felt that nobody in this universe could harm him.
A smirk appeared on his face when the man walked toward him, and his anger began to grow.
When the man told him that his son knew he was going to eat him in the future to heal himself, he was shocked.
He couldn’t imagine how sad and disappointing his son was when he learned the truth.
While he was distracted, the man unleashed his special abilities on him, sealing and restricting his movement.
He tried to break free from it, yet he couldn’t do it, and had it not been for the Mystical Arcane Blue Water Flag inside of him, he might not even be able to move his finger.
He realized that the power that restricted his movements was not a formation at all, and he was furious when he saw the man attack him with the Mystical Arcane Halberd he forged for his beloved son.
He tried to guard himself with the Mystical Arcane Blue Water Flag but to no avail. His body was nearly crushed, his Primal Spirit was on the verge of destruction, and his origin was injured once again.
He was a Kunpeng. That meant he could turn into a roc to fly in the sky or a kraken to swim in the sea.
In the end, he decided to discard his kraken side and shifted all his injury to that side.
After he had split his kraken side from himself, he had become severely weakened and he could barely keep himself in the Quasi-Sage Realm.
He had always heard that sons would bring nothing but troubles to their father. Initially, he did not believe it, but he never expected that something like this would happen to him one day.
In order to break himself free from the confinement, he offered up his Northern Emperor Palace. Although he could move for a bit right now, he still couldn’t completely break himself free from the confinement that came straight at him from different directions.
He could not use his authority as the northern king, and he had severed himself into half. Not only that, but he couldn’t use the Northern Emperor Palace as well.
Leaving with no other options, he had to resort to his trump card. The reason he did not use it earlier was that the man was attacking him too fast and he was too close to him. If he used his trump card, he might get engulfed in the attack as well.
A long long time ago, he senior brother had followed the tutelage of a Saint Lord and he had ascended into the Demi-Sage Realm. After he left with the Saint Lord, he gave him the Mystical Arcane Blue Water Flag and a one-time use ultimate attack.
Right now, his Mystical Arcane Blue Water Flag was damaged and it would take some time before it could be used again. Therefore, he could only use the ultimate attack.
The attack was equivalent to the attack of a Demi-Sage, and no one except for the Saint Lord could defend against it. However, the young man emerged unscathed, and he felt this must be the end for him.
He was certain that the man could not defend against the ultimate attack, so he figured that it must be the layer of barrier around the young man that saved his life.
It seemed to him that the young man must have a lot of secrets on him.
Fortunately, the sword energy from the ultimate attack had shattered the power that confined him, so he hastily ran away.
When he arrived above the sea, he could sense a stellar force and he felt it weird. When he noticed that the young man was coming after him, he wondered if the young man was just trying to scare him or if he really had the confidence that he could kill him.
These were the information Jiang Ming got from Kunpeng’s status, and most of them were rather useful to him.
Kunpeng had severed his kraken self. His origin was severely damaged, and this was the best opportunity to cut him down.
Besides, Kunpeng had a senior brother. He was under the tutelage of a Saint Lord and he was in the Demi-Sage Realm. Demi-Sage was equivalent to the Hemi-Sage. They were terrifying beings who were very close to the Sage Realm. However, his senior brother had already left the Honggu World.
