Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Great Emperor Dongfang had never thought of such a day.

This little guy was but a mortal who had yet to even enter the Immortal Realm back then. But because he learned that Jiang Ming was taking on the path of the World Dao, he asked his daughter to take care of him a little. It didn’t take long for Jiang Ming to become capable ofkilling experts such as White Emperor and the likes easily.

The White Emperor was a Quasi-Sage Realm Expert, and he wasn’t alone.

A kind gesture back then was in return to a life-saving event today. The Great Emperor Dongfang was certain that even if Jiang Ming had the support of that land of inheritance, Jiang Ming definitely had to pay a great price to descend into this great chiliocosm.

Taking a look back at his daughter in comparison, had she descended into another chiliocosm before? It was a resounding no.

The Great Emperor Dongfang raised his head and looked in the direction of the Heaven Court, his expression became even more complicated.

‘Alas, the Heavenly Emperor! I went through life and death for you. Yet, now that I’m faced with such calamity, you did not even show up to defend me. What’s more, I am the Verdant Emperor of the Heaven Court, a respected status among many. If I really die, what a blow would it be to the majesty of the Heaven Court? Ha! To think that you wouldn’t even dare provoking a third generation disciple of the Sacred Land, you’re really worthless.’

“Brother Jiang, you should leave as soon as possible. Now that you’ve killed the disciple of the Dao Monarch, that person might show himself!” The Great Emperor Dongfang advised. “I’ll take my daughter into the Chaos immediately as well. When everything becomes safe in the future, I will thank you again for the help you’ve given.”

“Father, there’s no need!” Dongfang Chenxi shook her head. Then, she telepathically sent a message to his father. “He has already sanctified the way of Dao. He had even killed more than a dozen Saints in another chiliocosm prior to this!”

“What?” The Great Emperor Dongfang’s eyes instantly widened.

‘Sanctified the path of Dao? God damn it! He wasn’t even as powerful as my own daughter decades ago, yet he has already sanctified the path of Dao now? Isn’t this just pulling people’s legs? And he even killed more than a dozen Saints? Am I dreaming or this an illusory world to begin with? This is no longer just incredible, but akin to fantasy already.’

“Father, it’s true.” Seemingly to have guessed her father’s thoughts, Dongfang Chenxi quickly added. “Brother Jiang is really powerful. We all say that he is the favored son of the Great Dao.”

“If it’s true, then he must really be the favored son of the Great Dao.” Worthy of being called a peerless figure, Great Emperor Dongfang quickly calmed himself down. His eyes, however, were glistening with eagerness.

When he looked into his daughter’s eyes, his heart was feeling complicated yet again.

“Uncle Dongfang, it’s true. You don’t have to worry!” Jiang Ming suddenly chimed in as he smiled.

“Don’t, don’t! Just refer to me as a Fellow Daoist will do. Let’s make each other acquaintances ourselves.” The Great Emperor Dongfang was excited and quickly waved his hands.

The Great Emperor Dongfang was frightened to have a Saint to address him ‘uncle’ although he knew Jiang Ming was sincere.

The Great Emperor Dongfang was also relieved at the same time. He knew this little guy in front of him was genuinely here to help him, or rather, to help his daughter. Hence, his daughter would have someone to rely on even if he were to be caught in any mishaps in the future.

“Uncle Dongfang, you don’t have to be too polite!”

“No! It’s better for you to address me as a fellow Daoist. Else, my heart of Dao might even collapse!”

“Alright then, fellow Daoist Dongfang.”

“Now this wouldn’t be as frightening.” Great Emperor Dongfang let out a smile. Following that, he said solemnly, “Now that Hong Liu has been slain, I’m afraid the Five Elemental Saint Venerates wouldn’t let go of this. They haven’t appeared yet and are probably still in their cultivation retreat comprehending the laws of the Saints. With his temper of smothering his young ones, once he emerges from retreat, he will definitely go on a frenzy. There’s also the Dao Monarch behind him. Fellow Daoist Jiang Ming, what should we do next? In my opinion, we should still head into the Chaos. It’s boundless there with many hidden great encounters. Even the Dao Monarch would find it difficult to find us there, though the Chaos might be a little dangerous.”

“Fellow Daoist Dongfang, in addition to saving Chenxi, I’ve descended here with the intention to meet the Saint Experts of this realm and see if they can be killed.” Jiang Ming said, “Don’t worry! I won’t leave before taking care of everything.”

The Great Emperor Dongfang opened his mouth, but did not dare to persuade Jiang Ming anymore. A Saint’s mind was without a doubt as firm as it could be. Since Jiang Ming had already said so, he couldn’t persuade him to leave with tails between his legs, could he?

“Alright, we’ll follow you!” Great Emperor Dongfang was very honest.

Jiang Ming smiled. “Let’s head towards the Five Elemental Sacred Land then. He’s in a cultivational retreat? Heh! That’s not up to him!”

With a simple wave of his hand, Jiang Ming shattered the void, directly reaching the Five Elemental Sacred Land.

To Jiang Ming, this chiliocosm no longer had many secrets that he didn’t know of.

In front of them, Jiang Ming saw Immortal luminance flowing around, illuminating the surrounding with a majestic brilliance. The tens of thousands rays intertwined into an infinitely wondrous scene.

There were five mountain peaks that were millions of feet high. Each peak had different colors, contained a different Dao fluctuation, and flowed with the power of the corresponding element.

In between these mountain peaks were countless smaller mountains, valleys, forests and other geographical features. Great luminance could be seen from every corner.

The clouds and mists floating through the air were all condensed from spiritual energy. Some of the rivers that flowed below were formed from the liquefaction of spiritual energy.

This was a place of great fortune, a supreme Sacred Land for cultivation. This was the Five Elemental Scared Land.

“Brother, how are we doing this?” Dongfang Chenxi asked, ‘Should we attack directly? Or declare war instead?”

Great Emperor Dongfang stood honestly behind his daughter. He hadn’t had any questions nor advice for Jiang Ming at all. If worse comes to worst, he would request that his daughter give up everything else and head into the place of inheritance. If his daughter didn’t want to do so, he’d kill himself there and then.

“Whether it’s directly attacking them or declaring war, both are too slow. It’s better to just directly destroy this Sacred Land.” Jiang Ming said, as he raised his palm.

Dongfang Chenxi looked stunned, and then hesitantly said, “Brother, isn’t it not that suitable to do this? There are still many innocent people inside the Sacred Land.”

“Innocent?” Jiang Ming shook his head. He looked at Dongfang Chenxi and said, “You must get rid of such a thought. In the world of cultivation, there’s no such thing as innocence. Whether it’s me or you, we are all in fact the worms of the world. We’ll put this aside and just talk about what’s currently happening in front of us. If I didn’t show up, what would’ve happened to you? In times of desperation, you could enter the land of inheritance. However, what about the maidens and guards around you? I’m afraid not one of them would’ve survived this. What about your father? If he were to be captured and used as a hostage to threaten you, what would you do then? The best outcome from that would’ve probably been a swift death and be done with it.”

Dongfang Chenxi’s face suddenly turned pale.

“Let’s talk about the Sacred Land in front of you. Which one among them didn’t enjoy the resources here, and which one didn’t reaped the benefits from the place here? Since they’ve enjoyed the place, they’ll have to bear the corresponding karma that befalls. It’s not as what you’ve just said, whether a person has ever done killing or not; whether the person is good or bad. How can the cycle of Karma be that simple?” Jiang Ming explained patiently. “Having enjoyed the benefits, can you say that you have nothing to do with them when calamity hits? Putting enemies aside, even family members would’ve killed you in a heartbeat.”

“Fellow Daoist Jiang is right!” The Great Emperor Dongfang totally agreed with Jiang Ming’s remarks. “The cultivation world is just that cruel. There’s no right or wrong, but only cultivation matters. Take this incident for example, what wrong did you do? There isn’t any. Yet, it resulted in you being straight up bullied. You should know that I’m actually a Great Emperor of the Heaven Court. However, they are still unscrupulous with their actions. It shows how arrogant and domineering they actually are. Chenxi, you have to remember this. You can remain kind-hearted but never towards your enemy.”

The Great Emperor Dongfang couldn’t bear to tell her this, but he had to do it now. He was still able to protect her own daughter before all these happened. However, after going through all that had transpired, he knew it’s time for his daughter to grow up.

“Brother! Father! I’ll remember this!” Dongfang Chenxi nodded her head seriously.

In fact, she had already received much of such information from the chat group prior to this. However, having yet to experience such an ordeal personally, it was inevitable for her to feel slightly pitiful of her enemies.

Jiang Ming nodded his head in agreement. Following that, he raised his palm and forcefully slammed down.
