Chapter 210 - Supreme Lord, Saint Lord, Great Heavenly Venerate
Chapter 210 Supreme Lord, Saint Lord, Great Heavenly Venerate
Jiang Ming could sense that there was a supreme power pulling their world in a rapid speed toward a certain direction.
In a very faraway location, there was a place that was shrouded with an immense amount of negative energy.
“The pulling force of a Great Overarching Item?” Jiang Ming said.
He was familiar with the power of a Great Overarching Item. After all, he had a few of them as well. Although he had the confidence that he could stop the pulling force, what would happen next?
Their world was in a mess, and everything was dying. He could foresee that their world would welcome its true destruction very soon. It would become a place where nothing could grow, and unfit for them to cultivate.
Therefore, he decided to let it be.
As for the place he sensed just now.
“Is it the Infinite Realm Battlefield?” Jiang Ming asked.
He surmised that they would arrive there in one more month.
“Well, I guess I’ll have to play it by ear then!” He said. After all, there was nothing he could do other than waiting. Besides, it was not known who would emerge victorious in the end as well.
In the meantime, Xi Yao was still unable to come around from the shock.
‘He said he could destroy me with a snort? Sigh! Seems like I need to cultivate more!’ Xi Yao sighed inwardly.
She then looked into the darkness in the distance and fell silent.
It seemed to her that this world was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
“Senior brother!” Linglong wrapped her arm around Jiang Ming’s, shaking lightly. “Now that things have settled down, what do you say we head back to the house and take a
rest?”
“Good idea!” Jiang Ming replied. A bolt of heat surged from the bottom of his belly and coursed through every nerve end in his body, making his blood boil. Just when he was about to scoop Linglong from the ground, he noticed that Xi Yao was standing next to them and he said hesitantly, “Xi Yao, you…”
“Xi Yao, why don’t you come with us?” Linglong chimed in.
“Come with you? To where?” Xi Yao asked, her voice thick with confusion.
“My senior brother’s bed, of course! His bed is large, so it’ll fit all three of us!”
“What? Linglong, how… How could you be so shameless?” Xi Yao snarled. After that, she snorted and went away with her face flushed red with embarrassment.
Smack…
Jiang Ming smacked Linglong’s head and said, “Stop teasing her.”
“Senior brother!” Linglong jumped onto Jiang Ming’s body, coiled her arms around his neck, and pouted, “This is what you both want, isn’t it? Do you really think I don’t know what you two are thinking, you pair of shameless beasts.”
“Beasts? Then what are you?”
“I? I’m a wolf!” Linglong said as she bit his shoulder.
The remaining Linglongs also bared their teeth and brandished their arms in the air, causing Jiang Ming to let out a boisterous laugh.
He waved his sleeves, and all of them went back into the house.
For Jiang Ming, this was probably the best activity and most meaningful activity in this world.
One day later, at the attic of the house in the back of the mountain.
Xi Yao looked skyward with a mixed expression on her face.
She rested her chin on her hand and thought inwardly, ‘Are they cultivation?’
Along with the thought that popped up in her head were some obscene scenes and images.
It had been three days.
She looked ahead, and there were wisps of pink fluttering out from the rooftop in front of her. She knew that it was a phenomenon that would only happen when the Qi of lust was at its thickest.
Another ten days had passed, and Xi Yao sighed heavily. She lifted her head to look into the sky in the distance, but her gaze was greeted by nothing but darkness.
Suddenly, her heart was filled with fear.
“When I was young, I aspired to join the immortal sect. After I’ve grown up, I want to become a Holy Daughter and be respected by other disciples. After becoming the Holy Daughter, my wish is to become the Holy Lord and lead the Riyue Sect to a glorious future. I also want to challenge the geniuses in the world and overpower my peers. However, upon losing to Linglong, it was only then I realized how ignorant I was. Therefore, my desire at that time was to work hard on my cultivation so that I become an immortal and see the world beyond.
“Then, I… I don’t know when it happened, but by the time I realized it, I had already fallen in love with him. Even though I’ve been refraining myself, I still couldn’t help but wanting to get closer to him. When the disaster hit this land, he cut down the immortals and demons as well as destroyed the Sacred Lands. I should’ve hated him, but how could I? It was the Sacred Lands that summoned the immortals into this world. If it hadn’t been for me, my master would’ve been dead and the Riyue Sect would’ve been gone forever, so how could I hate him?
“And now, our world is in great danger, and he has once again become the savior. Not only that, but he has become so strong that he could destroy me with a snort…
“Sigh… Which path should I take on now? Since my sect is gone, the task of rebuilding it has fallen into my hands. The Immortal Dao is just in front of me, and all I need to do is extend my hand to reach for it. The world has fallen apart, so how could I be immersed in love?”
Xi Yao’s heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.
She closed her eyes. Suddenly, a sword energy appeared in her head. Without any hesitation, the sword energy swooped down in a downward swipe, and when she opened her eyes again, all those surging emotions were gone.
OT
She lifted her head and looked ahead once more. Initially, she thought she wouldn’t have any feelings anymore, but as soon as she looked ahead, waves after waves of intense emotion began to sweep through her.
“It has been 10 days. Can he really last that long?”
Xi Yao was stunned when the thought appeared in her head, and she let out a bitter smile. She then proceeded to sit in a lotus position and closed her eyes.
Another ten days passed, and Jiang Ming finally appeared on the rooftop.
He was sitting on his chair as he sighed contentedly, “This is life.”
Before he came back here, he had been staying in the Supreme Pagoda for God knows how long, and he had been wanting to do this for a long time.
It looked like it had only been half a month, but under the time acceleration formation laid out by Time Linglong, it had been 15 years in the room.
“What are you talking about, senior brother?” Linglong appeared and threw herself on Jiang Ming’s body. She looked at his face and smiled brightly, “You really have had your fill this time. All of us could barely get off the bed.”
“Hmph! Now you know how good I am,” Jiang Ming replied.
“Yeah, you’re so good until you need to run away in the end.”
“What? I was bleeding, you know?”
Both of them stopped talking, and then laughed at each other.
“Do you know about the Infinite Realms Battlefield?” Jiang Ming asked.
He did not have much knowledge about that place, and he was worried about it.
“The Infinite Realms Battlefield?” Linglong said, “In the Heavenly Inheritance Space, there is a library which contains millions of books and scrolls. It tells about the countless situations across the myriad of universes, and it’s always updated. I accessed some information about our side of the world.”
After that, Linglong looked into the sky and asked, “Senior brother, do you know how vast our universe is? According to the book, each universe has one great chiliocosm, and under each great chiliocosm, there are many middle chiliocosm, but the maximum number is not more than 3,000. Further down, there is the small chiliocosm, which doesn’t exceed the number of 48,000. And then there is the mortal world, which is also known as the planar world. There are countless of them, and they constitute the building blocks of an universe.
“The great chiliocosm of our universe is known as the Honggu Heavenly Realm. In the heavenly realm, there is this one reigning supreme power called the Heaven Court, and every world in this universe is ruled by them. The lord of the Heaven Realm is known as Heavenly Emperor or Great Heavenly Venerate. He’s someone of great importance, and he can be called as the lord of all realms.
“There are many forces under the Heaven Court such as immortals, demons, monks and so on.
“They would fight endlessly against each other for different purposes such as spreading their teachings, religious reason, cultivation resources, territory, and so on. Even the Great Heavenly Venerate couldn’t control them.
“According to the records, the previous Great Heavenly Venerate was caught in the fight and died. The Heaven Court collapsed, and countless middle and small chiliocosms were destroyed because of it.
“It took the current Great Heavenly Venerate a lot of effort and energy to rebuild the Heaven Court and restore order. To prevent the history from repeating itself, he invited many experts to pour in their power to refine the once destroyed middle chiliocosms, small chiliocosms, ancient stars, and many secret realms into a special place which came to be known as the Infinite Realms Battlefield!
“It’s a place where people could fight, kill, or seek gains to their heart’s content.
“After countless years of evolution, the Infinite Realms Battlefield has gradually evolved into many realms, and because of that, all forces have gathered around and come to a consensus. They divided the Infinite Realms Battlefield into three levels: the Small Chiliocosm Battlefield, the Middle Chiliocosm Battlefield, and the Great Chiliocosm Battlefield!
“The Small Thousand Realm Battlefield can only accommodate up to Golden Immortals. The Middle Chiliocosm Battlefield can accommodate up to Great Overarching Golden Immortals. As for the Great Thousand Realm battlefield, there is only one place where, according to the records, there are even countless chaos Qi inside, as well as endless secret treasures waiting to be discovered. It’s able to withstand the battle between Quasi-Sages.
“A Quasi-Sage is an existence even more powerful than a Great Overarching Golden Immortal.
“In the heavenly realm, the realm is divided into Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Mystical Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi, Great Overarching, and Quasi-Sage, which at the same time corresponds to Immortal Soldier, Immortal Commander, Immortal General, and Immortal Lord. The Immortal Lord is the Golden Immortal, and it’s the same as the Demon Lord. Taiyi is the Immortal King, Great Overarching is the Immortal Emperor, and Quasi-Sage is the Supreme.
“The Great Heavenly Venerate is the strongest amongst the Quasi-Sages. But legend has it that in the distant past, there were beings in the Heavenly Realm who were even more powerful than the Quasi-Sages, and they were known as the Saint Lords. However, for some reasons, it seems that all the Saint Lords have disappeared without a trace.
“Therefore, there are a lot of secret treasures of immense might that even the Supremes cannot fathom left in the universe, and on top of that, there have been a lot of wars and battles happening in the Infinite Realms Battlefield over the years. Many lives have been lost, and many secrets and items have been left on the battlefield. This is why many people are attracted to the battlefield,” Linglong told Jiang Ming everything she knew about the Infinite Realms Battlefield.
However, there were a lot of things that were not recorded in the library of the Heavenly Inheritance Space, but rather, they were her memories from her previous life.
Jiang Ming listened with rapt attention, and a question rose in his head.
He knew about the stages and levels in cultivation, but he did not expect that beyond the Great Overarching was the Quasi-Sage. This was exactly the same as the mythical and legendary prehistoric realm he knew in his previous life.
Besides, the Xuanhuang Great Chiliocosm, where Dongfang Chenxi was located, was using this cultivation system as well.
‘Could it be that this cultivation system is the real mainstream?’ He thought inwardly.
‘Oh yeah, the Supreme Pagoda. Could it be that the owner of the pagoda is a Supreme? But it doesn’t seem right. Dongfang Chenxi and I come from different Great Chiliocosms, while Sheng Qianyue comes from the Guanghui Great Chiliocosms. That is three Great Chiliocosms, which is equal to three universes! What’s more, Sheng Qianyue is the most special amongst us, and I doubt a Supreme will be able to get her over here!’
Many questions popped up in Jiang Ming’s head.
He shook his head to shake those thoughts out of his brain. After all, it wouldn’t do him any good other than giving him more worries to think about it right now.
“That’s a lot of new information!” Jiang Ming sighed, “Do you know about Chengguang Immortal Lord?”
“Chengguang Immortal Lord?” Linglong frowned. She thought for a moment before her eyes glowed and she said hesitantly, “I seem to have read about him before. Why do you ask, senior brother?”
“Do you still remember Tian Ci?”
“Of course, I do. He was known as the senior brother of all Holy Sons and Holy Daughters. It was later discovered that he was a reincarnation of an immortal and he triggered the Golden Heaven Path. Senior brother, could it be that Chengguang Immortal Lord is related to the Golden Heaven Path?
“Exactly. Tian Ci came from the Chengguang Immortal Lord Palace, and since Chengguang Immortal Lord is an immortal, he might be one of our enemies,” Jiang Ming said.
He had tried to look for Chengguang Immortal Lord through the Human Paths Record, but unfortunately, he did not get anything
“I know one Chengguang Immortal Lord, but I’m not sure if he’s the one you’re talking about,” Linglong said. She really wanted to tell him everything, but she was worried about it.
In the end, she decided not to tell Jiang Ming that she was reincarnated and said, “Under the Honggu Heavenly Realm, there is a middle chiliocosm called the Starlight Middle Chiliocosm. Within it, there is an Immortal Emperor named Bei Chengxing. Bei Chengxing has a son called Bei Chengguang. He’s at the Golden Immortal Realm, and his residence is known as the Chengguang Immortal Palace. So, senior brother, is Bei Chengguang the Chengguang Immortal Lord you are talking about?” Linglong asked as she blinked her eyes. “I guess so!” Jiang Ming nodded.
“If that were true, then it would be a big problem!” Linglong continued with her brows frowned, “Bei Chengxing comes from a middle chiliocosm. He is a Great Overarching Immortal Emperor. He’s amongst the top in his world, and he has a lot of men serving under him. As the son of an Immortal Emperor, Bei Chengguang is both powerful in terms of influence and cultivation level. If he really is the one who led our world to the Infinite Realms Battlefield, it would be a problem if he were to lead many Immortal Lords and Immortal Kings to take on us, not to mention that if his father joins the fight. It’s said that a Great Overarching Immortal Emperor is an entity who stands at the pinnacle of all the realms, transcends beyond the long river of destiny, and according to the records, can suppress Taiyi with a snap of his fingers.” “Is a Great Overarching that powerful?” Jiang Ming asked in surprise.
“Calling them powerful is an understatement. Their power is simply unfathomable,” Linglong said, “Both Phoenix Linglong and I are in the Taiyi Realm, and we could unleash a formidable battle power with the other eight Golden Immortal clones. However, even then, I don’t have the confidence that I could cut down a newly promoted Great Overarching Golden Immortal!”
“Cut down?” Jiang Ming was stunned.
Linglong nodded and said in a serious manner, “If we work together, we can hold them off, but we can’t kill them.”
The corner of Jiang Ming’s mouth twitched.
‘You just said that a Great Overarching is exceedingly powerful, but now you’re telling me that you can hold them off even though you can’t kill them? Are you kidding me?’
That being said, Jiang Ming was relieved.
He stood up and began going through his own condition.
His inner world had evolved, and he had the power of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. However, power did not mean combat strength.
Even though he had many special abilities and most of them were powerful, he could take on a Taiyi expert, but he did not think he would stand a chance against a Great Overarching expert.
‘What if I lure them to the Eastern Region? Under the enhancement of the Saint Province Dao Square, I should be able to fight toe-to-toe with an ordinary Great Overarching Golden Immortal, right? Besides, I still have a Great Overarching Immortal Weapon up my sleeves. But what if Bei Chengxing is at the peak of the Great Overarching?’ Jiang Ming thought. ‘There is no use in thinking so much about it. I should just check it out first.’
Swoosh!
The Human Paths Record flipped open.
