Chapter 61: Massacre and Blame-Shifting; Gu Hai’s Breakthrough

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Ming’s clone stood outside of the Bishui Sect while he hid his presence and observed from a distance.

A moment later, the terrifying aura of Paradis cultivator locked appeared again.

“Bai Zizai, why won’t you leave me alone?” the clone shouted, “I’ll dismember you one day and feast on dragon meat!”

Swoosh!

An energy sword appeared out of thin air, tearing across the night sky with a destructive might. Its length was a few hundred miles long, and as soon as it appeared, an immense pressure descended on the area, causing the air to freeze.

“Bai Zizai, do you know that when I found Mu Shuiyun, she was trying to conceive a child with Bai Lang? You should thank me instead. How can you be so ruthless?”

After saying this, the clone leaped and vanished into the void.

At the same time, Jiang Ming seized the chance and undid the clone, returning the energy to his body.

“Die!” Bai Zizai roared.

The force of the energy sword surged and shrouded the area where Jiang Ming was standing.

The Formation that covered the back of Bishui Sect had collapsed. When the energy sword landed, some of the people there exploded into mists of blood and flesh immediately. They did not even have a chance to cry for help before they died.

It did not take long before the Bishui Sect’s estate was completely destroyed.

When the energy sword and its light vanished and receded, one could see the entire place had been reduced to rubble and debris.

When Bai Zizai finally arrived, his expression was unsightly, and his eyes seemed capable of shooting fire when he looked at the scene of destruction. He said furiously, “No matter who you are or where you go, I’ll find you and kill you!”

Bai Zizai had always been cool-headed, but at this moment, he had completely lost his composure. His mind was filled with scenes of Mu Shuiyun and Bai Lang’s bodies intimately intertwined. These scenes fanned the flames of fury in his heart to great heights.

Bai Zizai inhaled deeply before he narrowed his eyes and looked at the survivors in front of him. Then, he said, “It’s because of this branch of Bishui Sect that my enemy slipped away from me! All of you will have to pay with your deaths!”

As soon as his voice fell, Bai Zizai lifted his hand, absorbing the saber Sambodha, before he pointed his finger down. He summoned lightning bolt after lightning bolt down on the ruins of Bishui Sect, killing everyone. Even the chasm caused by his energy sword was quickly filled up with rubble.

…

Back in Jiuyang Sect’s Chuyang Peak.

Jiang Ming silently returned to his room after he arrived at Chuyang Peak. He sat in a lotus position as he panted. His chest heaved up and down as he gulped for air. He knew he had been extremely lucky tonight. Luckily, he had mastered space control and the Great Akasa Steps, which helped him to escape from Bai Zizai. Otherwise, he would have died.

Swoosh!

He called up the Human Paths Record to at Bai Zizai’s information again. His eyes quickly moved down to Bai Zizai’s status.

Status: Destroyed the Bishui Sect with just a strike. He vented his anger by destroying a branch of the Bishui Sect. He had intentionally used lightning bolts so it would look like Qingyun Sect had killed everyone with the Nine Heavens Imperial Lightning. At this time, he’s thinking about how he can tempt the head of the Bishui Sect to continue serving the Red Mountain Palace.

‘After I provoked him, he’s still able to maintain his cool and shift the blame to the Qingyun Sect? What a terrifying monster!’ Jiang Ming thought to himself.

Considering how often he ran into powerful enemies, he decided to stay put in the sect unless his junior sister was in danger.

Following that, he brought a spirit crystal out, closed his eyes, and began healing himself.

As for the cultivation that he had been storing the whole time, he decided not to use it yet.

It was calm and peaceful on the mountain, but the world outside had been thrown into chaos.

…

The Jiang clan in the Hai Province.

The Jiang Clan was one of the main forces in Hai Province.

In the forbidden area of the Jiang Clan, there was a pavilion that housed the soul tokens of their core disciples.

When the soul token of Jiang Fei, the clan leader, shattered, which was on the top row, shattered, it startled the old guard. When he regained his senses, he rubbed his eyes before he took another look. His face paled and he trembled when he realized his eyes were not playing tricks on him.

With that, chaos descended on the Jiang clan.

…

In the middle of the ocean.

A fight had erupted in the White Scaled Dragon Cave. A few of Bai Lang’s wives were fighting each other for the treasures that he left behind.

…

In the main branch of the Bishui Sect.

When the bell tolled 81 times, the Sect Master and all the elders gathered. All of them wore grim expressions on their faces.

Their grand elder, Hai Yan, who went to the Eastern Region had died. Even the group of disciples there had died. Hai Yan was a Primal Spirit Realm cultivator while the branch sect there was protected by a Formation. With that, they were certain the culprit responsible for the murder of Hai Yang and the massacre in the branch sect was a Paradis expert.

In the Eastern Region, Qingyun Sect had the highest number of Paradis experts.

…

In the Qingyun Sect.

As soon as the Holy Lord of Qingyun Sect learned that Mu Shuiyun’s soul token had shattered, he had no doubts that the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion was responsible for her death.

“Was it those two monsters from the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion?”

The Holy Lord of Qingyun Sect was at a loss over what to do. Due to the tension recently, it was not wise to directly confront the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion about this matter. He was sure if he mentioned them killing their former Holy Daughter, Old Tie would smash his hammer at him immediately.

…

In just a night, many things had changed.

…

The next day.

Jiang Ming stopped cultivating and started on his daily routine.

He had breakfast on the rooftop with his junior sister as they admired the sunrise.

All of a sudden, a powerful aura erupted from the main building on Chuyang Peak. Following that, the spiritual energy in the universe began to converge.

“Master has recovered! He’s breaking through now!” Linglong cried out excitedly as her eyes lit up. Then, she said, “Master has very high innate talent. The only reason he didn’t progress was due to his injuries. Now that he has recovered, with his rich experience, he’s bound to progress rapidly and break through to higher realms!”

“I’m sure he’s overjoyed!” Jiang Ming nodded with a smile.

“That’s right.” Linglong nodded. Then, after a moment, she added, “I noticed the spiritual essence on the mountain had gotten richer recently. It’s quite strange…”

“I’ve been studying Formations so after I made some progress, I set up a few Formations like the spirit Formations and the Ley Line Dragon Formation,” Jiang Ming explained.

“When did you become so skilled in Formations, Senior Brother? I wasn’t aware of this at all!” Linglong was surprised. After surveying the surroundings again, she discovered that there were indeed traces of Formations.

There were spirit Formation, illusory Formation, Formations that trapped trespassers, and defensive Formations. Although the levels of the Formations were not high, they were all linked and very organized.

“Senior Brother, you’re amazing!”

“Of course! My junior sister is a prodigy so as your senior brother, it goes without saying that I have to be more amazing than you, right?”

“That’s right!”

While the duo was chatting, an orb of light that resembled the sun suddenly rose to the sky above the main building.

“Master is really talented! He has comprehended the fire Sambodha and is now forming the Dao Seed to break through to the next realm!” Linglong exclaimed.

As soon as her voice fell, the sun-like orb descended as Gu Hai’s aura soared tremendously.

Swoosh!

Jiang Ming silently called up the Human Paths Record.
