As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1230
Chapter 1230 Tian Mozi
Until now, the disciples still did not know what had happened. In the past, there were many clashes between the people of the sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect, but it was not serious enough to seal the mountain. This time, Elder Xuanming suddenly ordered the mountain to be closed, which inevitably caused panic …
“Elder Xuanming, what exactly happened? Did you have to seal the mountain?”
At this time, two more elders walked over. The two of them couldn’t understand. This time, they were sending four disciples to the First Grade Domain. The remaining elite disciples were participating in the competition between the Heavenly Devil Sect and the Autumn Queen.
However, everyone hadn’t expected such a powerful disciple to appear in the Heavenly Demon Sect this time. However, it was fortunate that they narrowly won. However, the two of them suddenly challenged Elder Xuanming. Now that Elder Xuanming was injured, it wasn’t as serious as sealing off the mountain, was it?
At this moment, Elder Xuanming was still looking in the direction of the Heavenly Demon Sect. There were many disciples discussing below. Xiao Chen’s expression was as calm as water. He had probably guessed what Elder Xuanming was worried about. It seemed that it would not be easy for him to smoothly reach the First Grade Domain this time.
Over the next few days, the entire Tianming Sect felt as if it was going to rain and storm. Ancient defensive formations were activated one after another. Especially at night, the light emitted by the formations was like sharp blades cutting through the night sky, causing people to panic and be uneasy.
Apart from activating all the formations, Tianming Sect had also sent out urgent messages these past few days, hastily recalling the sect disciples that had been sent to the First Grade Domain.
These disciples were sent to the First Grade Domain hundreds of years ago. In the past, they were Tianming Sect’s disciples, but now, their status was on par with the elders. They were even above the lower level elders like Xingxiu Zi.
Over ten days later, six former disciples had returned to the sect. These six had gone to the First Grade Domain hundreds of years ago. When they were sent away back then, they were still brilliant blue-silk youths. However, they were now a middle-aged man with snow-white hair.
However, their cultivation had already stepped into the Quasi-Sage realm. However, entering the Sage realm was still a legend. Even though a large amount of Spiritual Qi had poured into the heavens and earth, and their talent was not low, and they had cultivated in the First Grade Realm for hundreds of years, it was still difficult for them to step into the Sage realm. If they stepped into the Sage realm, then it would be truly an immortal realm. They could return and annihilate the Heavenly Devil Sect in one go.
Of course, over the past thousand years, Tianming Sect had sent far more than six disciples to the First Grade Domain, but most of them had died in the First Grade Domain. They had either clashed with others, died in enmity, or provoked great powers, even their primordial spirits had been destroyed, or they had accidentally died … In short, not a single one of them had successfully entered the Saint realm in the past thousand years.
With the return of these six Pseudo-Saints, all the disciples in Tianming Sect finally felt a little relieved. At the same time, they went to pay their respects to these six Pseudo-Saints who had returned from the First Grade Domain these past few days.
Now that they saw these six Quasi-Saints, the disciples were filled with longing for the First Grade Realm. However, what they saw was only the six Quasi-Saints who had returned. However, they couldn’t see the more people who had died in the First Grade Realm.
This time, even though the six Quasi-Saints had returned, the entire Tianming Sect still hadn’t relaxed. They were strengthening Zhou Shan’s defensive array every day, especially Elder Xuanming. He had been injured that day, but in the past few days, before his injuries had fully healed, he had come out to strengthen the array again.
Xiao Chen had also been cultivating in his room these days and hadn’t gone anywhere. Only Elder Xingxiu had visited him a few times in the middle, and Zi Xuan’er had visited him once.
A few days ago, he had also thought about whether to leave Tianming Sect. Although the exit had been sealed, it was not difficult for him to leave with his ability. However, if he left now, it would be even more difficult for him to obtain a spot to head to the First Grade Domain.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, he decided to stay and wait for the situation to change.
Just after noon, Xiao Chen was cultivating in his room. Suddenly, a violent vibration came from outside. Dust fell from the beams of the room, and the tables and benches on the ground were shaking endlessly. The entire house seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, the entire house shook violently. The windows were the first to break and fall. Immediately after, the tables and stools in the room also shattered. Even the bed he sat on cracked open, and a crack appeared on the ground.
The moment the entire house collapsed, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and went outside. Outside, the mountains shook endlessly. The entire Tianming Sect was already in a panic. All the disciples of the Star Constellation Pavilion were scared to the point of running around to avoid the huge rocks flying in the air.
“Boom!”
Another loud explosion rang out, causing the entire mountain peak to tremble violently. Even Xiao Chen was almost unable to stand firmly. He raised his head and saw a figure of ten thousand feet appear in the sky.
The figure covered the sky and almost half the sky. His beard was white and he wore a daoist robe, but his eyes were flickering with blood light. His appearance was extremely terrifying.
“Heavens … Tian Mozi!”
Looking at that terrifying shadow in the sky, the elders of Tianming Sect were all frightened to the point of their hearts breaking. And that person in the sky was none other than the Heavenly Demon Sect’s Sect Master, Tian Mozi.
This person was originally a cultivator, but after obtaining an ancient devil scripture and cultivating the devil arts within it, his cultivation greatly increased, so he changed his name to “Tian Mozi”.
“Boom!”
Another loud explosion was heard. In the sky, Tian Mozi slapped down with another palm. The mountain peak instantly collapsed, and boulders filled the sky fell down crazily. Some disciples were unable to dodge the boulders and were struck by the boulders. All of them vomited blood and were suppressed by the boulders.
“Ah–”
At this moment, a cry of alarm sounded not far away from Xiao Chen. Zi Xuan’er was almost hit by a huge boulder. Xiao Chen instantly flew over and said, “What are you doing here?”
‘”Star, Zi Xuan’er, just now you asked me to call you, saying that he obtained a spot for you to go to the First Grade Domain from Xiao Chen … I, I just came here, and this place …” Elder Xingxiu’s face was pale. He looked at the terrifying figure in the sky, then lowered his head and looked at Elder Xuanming, and said in a trembling voice, “Star, Elder Xuanming, let me call you over just now, and said that he had obtained a spot for you to go to the First Grade Domain …”
“Let’s go!”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. He grabbed her and flew towards the main peak with her. Although the entire peak was enveloped by a defensive formation, only the main peak was the center of the formation, so it was temporarily safe there.
Other places, such as the Star Constellation Pavilion, even though they were also enveloped by defensive formations, they were unable to withstand the impact of Tian Mozi’s attacks from outside. As a result, boulders fell from the sky and no one was able to resist them.
On the way to the main peak, Zi Xuan’er saw that many disciples had been hit by huge rocks, and her entire body trembled with fear. “Senior … Senior Brother, are we going to die today … I, I want to go back and see Master …”
“I don’t know if you will die or not. I won’t die anyway.”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he dodged the giant boulder in the sky. At the same time, he used Ling Xian Step even faster. He thought to himself that Zi Xuan’er had just said that Elder Xingxiu had obtained a spot for him in Elder Xuanming. He probably already knew what was going on.
It seemed that the elders of Tianming Sect knew that this calamity was inevitable, so Elder Xingxiu thought about it. In the end, he went to Elder Xuanming and told them about his own affairs. Therefore, they discussed it and wanted to help him deal with Tian Mozi.
These old fellows weren’t easy to deal with. They wanted to get rid of their spots earlier, but now that they had a request for a spot, they gave it to them. However, Mo Zi clearly had a Saint realm cultivation base, so he had to deal with a Saint realm expert. Luckily, those old fellows were able to think of it.
When he reached the main peak, Xiao Chen pressed Zi Xuan’er, “Don’t run around!” After saying that, he pulled her behind a huge boulder in a bush.
“It’s right here. Don’t go anywhere.”
Xiao Chen hid behind a huge boulder and looked at the distant plaza. He couldn’t easily appear now. After all, there was a Saint realm expert in the sky. He couldn’t let the other party sense his aura.
On the plaza, apart from the Eight Pavilions Elders, there were also many other elders in Tianming Sect, as well as those old men with high cultivation bases, who were struggling to support the formation.
Elder Xuanming raised his head and looked at the terrifying figure in the sky. While supporting the formation, he said with some difficulty, “Heavenly Demon Sect Master … If you come for the day’s competition, you and I can discuss it again …”
“Humph!”
Tian Mozi coldly snorted, “Don’t you know why I’m here today? Why is Old Darknorth still hiding? Aren’t you coming out?” As soon as he finished speaking, another palm slapped down fiercely.
His palm strike was incomparably terrifying. However, just as the palm strike descended, a golden barrier of light instantly enveloped the entire Tianming Sect. With a “rumble”, it blocked the palm strike.
This was the defensive array left behind by Tianming Sect’s two ancestors. Although this array could temporarily withstand Tian Mozi’s attacks, every time this person slapped his palm, the earth would shake. Some of the weak defensive areas would not be able to withstand the impact and collapse one after another. Even on the main peak, the disciples would find it difficult to withstand the aura of this Saint realm expert.
Elder Xuanming knew in his heart that the two families were already mortal enemies. If the Sect Master had stepped into the Sacred Realm this time, then the one facing the fate of annihilation today would not be Tianming Sect, but the Heavenly Demon Sect … But this time, the Sect Master had stepped into the Sacred Realm first.
Actually, on that day, he had a faint premonition, so he ordered the mountain to be sealed. If it weren’t for the results of this half-month mountain sealing, Tian Mozi would have attacked today, and could have annihilated the defenseless Tianming Sect with just a single palm strike …
At this time, many elders rushed out from the various halls. These were all experts of the True Cave Stage. They all condensed their True Qi to help the elders maintain the formation unbreakable.
“Hmph! I’ll see how long you can last. Old Darknorth, listen carefully. If you don’t come out, I’ll destroy your entire sect as soon as this formation is broken!”
As soon as Tian Mozi finished speaking, he slapped down another palm. This palm was even more ferocious. With a “rumble”, the sky was filled with dust, and the surrounding mountains had obviously sunk by several dozen feet.
“Pu!”
Those cultivators at the True Cave Stage were unable to withstand the impact of this Saint realm aura. One after another, they spat out blood and fell down. The disciples’ faces had already turned pale from fear, and they hid behind the building and did not dare to come out.
“Old Darknorth! Come out!”
Tian Mozi slapped down one palm after another, causing the heavens and earth to shake. The Cave True Stage and Transcendent Stage elders who maintained the formation spat out blood one after another and collapsed.
In the distant bushes, Zi Xuan’er was already stunned, and Xiao Chen also froze his eyebrows and remained silent. In the distant past, the True Cave Stage was almost like a myth, but now, under the impact of this Saint realm aura, it was actually so weak …
Even those Quasi-Saints would not be able to withstand a single move from a Saint realm expert if they lost their formation at this moment. Was this the terror of a Saint realm?
Xiao Chen looked at the terrifying figure in the sky. This was just a cultivator who had just entered the Saint realm. He was already so terrifying that he completely forgot about those Quasi-Saints.
And if he met a Three Realms Sage in the future, would Heavenly Devil Child be as weak as these True Cave Realm cultivators in the hands of a Three Realms expert?
