Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt
On an irregular-shaped rocky asteroid with a diameter of 300 miles, there was an artifact palace over 210 meters tall. It had red walls, golden tiles, and dragons and phoenixes were carved.
The palace was shrouded by the aura of death, and ordinary cultivators could not get close to it.
!!
Yuan Qianmo stood outside the artifact palace with his hands behind his back, his hair as white as snow. He looked at the wormhole in the void in the distance as if he was comprehending the mysteries of space, but also seemed to be thinking about something.
The ghost servant, who had survived nine Ghost Tribulations, stood not too far away with a bone-chilling broadsword in his hand.
Yuan Benji had come to Yuan Qianmo’s back, and he cupped his fists slightly. He said, “Qianmo, we’ve discovered that there are only three wormholes in the Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt. They lead to the Bloodysky Clan’s Dominion, the starry sky near the Royal City of Hundred Clans at the edge of the Infernal Court, and the Ashuran Planet. The closest one to us leads to the starry skies near the Royal City of Hundred Clans. This is the place where Ji Fanxin is most likely to choose.”
Yuan Qianmo did not say a word.
Yuan Benji’s lips moved, but he still said it in the end. He said, “Including the cultivators from the ten major forces and the Heavenly Realm, dozens of powerhouses from the major forces have arrived at the Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt. With such a force, even pseudo gods would have to retreat. Does Ji Fanxin really dare to come? I guess it’s likely that she has already turned back to Hoth.”
Yuan Qianmo said, “That’s not something you should be concerned about! I’ve heard that something strange has happened in the Royal City of Hundred Clans. Every night, the Light of the origins will appear in the sky, turning the night into day. This has happened three times, and each time it lasts fifteen minutes.”
Yuan Benji said, “That’s true. All the major forces have speculated that the Fane of Origin will likely appear near the Royal City of Hundred Clans. They have all sent cultivators to investigate. However, I feel someone deliberately tries to create a diversion to interfere with our judgment.”
“Go to the Royal City of Hundred Clans and investigate this matter on behalf of the Fane of Death,” Yuan Qianmo said.
“Understood.”
Yuan Benji didn’t ask any further questions. He rode a cloud of death qi and flew out of the small asteroids towards the spatial wormhole suspended in the void.
Yuan Shu was dressed in a golden imperial robe. Her long sleeves dragged across the ground, and she wore a golden crown on her head. She walked out gracefully from the gray death qi. She said, “The Royal City of Hundred Clans is guarded by a god. It is the largest city at the edge of the Infernal Court. It can even be compared to the divine cities of the ten clans. If the Fane of Origin is born there, it will stir up the clouds in all directions.”
“Are you saying someone is deliberately stirring up a storm upon us?” asked Yuan Qianmo.
“We can not rule out the possibility that the Fane of Origin will be born in the Royal City of Hundred Clans. To support such a huge city like the Royal City of Hundred Clans, the space is already extraordinary. It is where the ley lines of heaven and earth converge,” said Yuan Shu.
Yuan Qianmo’s gaze was deep as he said, “This is the reason why I sent Benji over! No matter what, as long as we obtain superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin, we will naturally be able to lock onto the position of the Fane of Origin.”
Yuan Shu said, “That Ji Fanxin was an imposter.”
“Not necessarily.” Yuan Qianmo shook his head gently.
Yuan Shu said, “Ji Fanxin is likely to be in the Saint King Realm. She can’t be so powerful that she could injure more than a dozen Paramount Realm Supreme Saints of the Fane of Destiny.”
Yuan Qianmo said, “If it were any other cultivator, they would not believe that she could be so powerful. They would only think she was a god who intentionally transformed himself.”
“That’s right. Other than a god who intentionally suppressed her cultivation base, who else could be so powerful?” Yuan Shu sighed.
Yuan Qianmo said, “But, why would a god transform into a Saint King like Ji Fanxin, who couldn’t be so powerful? Wouldn’t no one suspect her if she transformed into Wuma Jiuxing or an unfamiliar figure?”
Yuan Shu nodded slightly, feeling that Yuan Qianmo’s analysis was not without reason.
“I’ve already checked. Ji Fanxin is not in Kunlun, the Qianrui Realm, or the Celestial Court,” Yuan Qianmo said.
Yuan Shu asked, “How did Ji Fanxin suddenly become so powerful?”
Yuan Qianmo said, “I don’t think it was sudden, but she was already so powerful. How many Yuanhui Tribulations have a living creature survived from ancient times until now?”
Yuan Shu shook her head gently.
Yuan Qianmo said, “It’s hard to predict how far back the ancient times were, but at least over a hundred of them have passed. She has passed over a hundred Yuanhui Tribulations. It’s not that the Yuanhui Tribulations couldn’t kill her, but that heaven and earth are unwilling to kill and love her. Do you really believe that she was only taught by the Mandala Goddess in the last few hundred years and cultivated her physical body?”
Yuan Shu shook her head again and said, “Even if she only cultivated her corporeal body in the last few hundred years, the time it takes for her to gain sentience is far longer. She can cultivate for a hundred thousand years, a million years, or even tens of millions of years.”
Yuan Qianmo said, “Plant-like creatures are fragile in the Saint Realm and the divinity. They are often picked as medicinal herbs and used as ingredients for pill refinement. Even if they cultivate the divinity of other powerful deities, they are just divine herbs.
“Plant-type creatures want to become powerhouses who are good at fighting. They have to immerse themselves in the mortal world to train their mind, train their will, train their battle tactics, and train their spirit. Ji Fanxin’s master is the Mandala Goddess. She can support the plant-type creatures alone and not be bullied by other cultivators. How can she not understand this principle?”
Yuan Shu said, “So, you suspect that Ji Fanxin’s cultivation level has long reached the Supreme Saint’s Paramount Realm. However, the Mandala Goddess has sealed her cultivation level. She is experiencing the tribulations step by step in the mortal world? Tempering her mind, will, battle tactics, and Spirit?”
“I heard that when the Stone Master was young, he cultivated the Supreme Saint’s Paramount Realm. However, he did not enter the Divine Ascension Ranking and was believed to be unable to become a god. The Stone Master did not believe in destiny. Hence, he made a decision that was completely opposite to what he believed in. He cultivated his physical body just like the Stone Terra’s cultivators.”
“Every time he cultivated his physical body, he had to undergo tribulations in the mortal world. He had to cultivate from the weak to the Paramount Realm. When he reached the Paramount Realm, he would first kill his relatives and friends, and then suicide.”
“Just like that, after nine times of cultivation and nine times of killing himself, he finally honed his will to a level stronger than even gods. He defied the heavens and became a god.”
Yuan Qianmo said, “I suspect her cultivation level is not as simple as the Supreme Saint’s Paramount Realm. She may have already gone far in the divinity.”
“How is that possible?” Yuan Shu asked.
Yuan Qianmo said, “Don’t forget that she is a creature loved by the heavens and earth. For her, she can easily break through the barrier of the divinity.”
“Of course, no matter how high the cultivation level of a plant creature is, it does not mean that its combat strength is strong. Just like how the Divine Sky-connecting Tree of Kunlun had a long lifespan. However, it was still beheaded by the Magnogod Huang Tian.”
“A martial artist is very normal for a sage with a profound state of mind to be chopped to death. He is well-versed in the laws of nature, the laws of nature, astronomy, and geography. “Unless this sage also cultivates martial arts, he can become a martial arts grandmaster and be invincible in the world.”
Yuan Shu was deep in thought. She said, “If Ji Fanxin really has reached divinity long ago, wouldn’t it be very dangerous for him to go?”
Him, means Mo Yuanduan.
After Xing Luo contacted Yuan Qianmo, he formulated a strategy of waiting for the enemy to ambush them in the Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt.
Yuan Qianmo was well aware of the value of Zhang Ruochen and the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origins, so he secretly asked Mo Yunduan to intercept them in advance.
Yuan Qianmo took out a book and handed it to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu opened the book and looked at it. It contained detailed information about Ji Fanxin.
Yuan Qianmo said, “Ji Fanxin appeared on Hoth, but she didn’t alert the Hoth Emperor. Clearly, her cultivation level is sealed below the deity level. This is one of the reasons.”
“Secondly, based on Ji Fanxin’s past battle records, it can be seen that her temperament, battle tactics, and spirit are still at the level of a Saint King. She is at most at the level of a Supreme Saint. Suppose you can seize the right opportunity and launch a surprise attack. In that case, you will definitely be able to heavily injure her. Once heavily injured, it will be impossible for her to escape!”
Yuan Shu began to doubt the information in her hands. “However, Xing Luo was defeated by her.”
“I don’t need to guess to know that Xing Luo was careless and underestimated her opponent! I wouldn’t know Ji Fanxin’s true strength if it were me. This is the first time I’ve faced her, and I might have made this mistake.” Yuan Qianmo believed in his own judgment.
Yuan Shu thought for a while and couldn’t think of a cultivator below the divinity who could defeat a god. Besides, the god was still in the dark, ready to launch a sneak attack.
This was absolutely foolproof.
No!
It was absolutely impossible to fail.
Yuan Shu said, “I still think it’s quite risky. Don’t forget that Ji Fanxin has Zhang Ruochen by her side.”
“Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation is too low. If not for the protection of the Intergold Tiger, he would have been killed by Ji Fanxin!” Yuan Qianmo shook his head and smiled. Then, his eyes turned cold, and he said, “The Intergold Tiger won’t be able to exert much power,” he said. “It won’t be able to stop Mo Yuanduan.”
Yuan Shu said, “Why are you so sure?”
Yuan Qianmo said, “Have you ever thought about why Ji Fanxin let Zhang Ruochen control the Sevenstar Imperial Palace to attract cultivators from the Infernal Court to stop him and start a massacre?”
Yuan Shu said, “She wanted to force Zhang Ruochen to the opposite side of the Infernal Court. At that time, Zhang Ruochen had nowhere else to go, so he could only return to heaven with her.”
Yuan qianmo nodded and said, “Zhang Ruochen was ostracized in the Celestial Court. He even had a deep-seated hatred for the Heavenly Realm. After the Battle of Celestial-Hunting, he became a traitor everyone in the Celestial Court wanted to beat. What’s he going back for? To be judged?
“He doesn’t want to return to the Celestial Court, but he can’t resist Ji Fanxin. Doesn’t this prove that the power of the Intergold Tiger is no match for Ji Fanxin?”
Yuan Shu had to admit that Yuan Qianmo’s analysis was very reasonable.
He could see the truth in every detail.
Yuan Qianmo sighed softly. “It’s a pity that the Intergold Tiger can’t use much power, but it’s a prehistoric superior after all. I’m sure Mo Yunduan will be afraid of it. Otherwise, it’s a good opportunity to get rid of Zhang Ruochen. Yuan Shu, I’m afraid I can’t avenge your seventh brother!”
Yuan Shu said, “Father has already told me to let go of my hatred. Don’t make an enemy of Zhang Ruochen.”
“How can I understand if I keep my hatred in my heart?” Yuan Qianmo said.
Yuan Shu stared into Yuan Qianmo’s eyes and said, “So, you must kill Zhang Ruochen, right?”
“If you want to kill Zhang Ruochen, you must first get rid of the Intergold Tiger. If you want to get rid of the Intergold Tiger, you must force it to release more power than the rules of Heaven and earth allow and let heaven punish it for killing it.”
Yuan Qianmo wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. Ultimately, he did not tell Yuan Shu the secrets he had hidden in his heart. He said, “Let’s wait for Mo Yunduan’s good news. Maybe the Fane of Death will not only get the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin, but also a Lotus of Divine Reflection.”
“It seems that Mo Yunduan is carrying a heavy weapon with him. He definitely won’t let Ji Fanxin escape,” Yuan Shu said.
Yuan Qianmo merely smiled. His smile was filled with confidence and anticipation.
