Chapter 736 - The Safest Dimension of All
Chapter 736: The Safest Dimension of All
Li Nianfan put down the newspaper and asked, “Little Daji, what do you think of the situation now?”
Daji pondered for a moment and then said, “There are many more skilled fighters around, the undercurrents are surging, and many clans stand in great numbers. I’m afraid that many changes will happen soon.”
Li Nianfan nodded. It was just as he had guessed. Several different dimensions were connected and the little skirmishes here and there were signs of bigger battles that were to come. Even though he was a Deluxe Merit Saint and had many skilled fighters protecting him, it was still necessary to maintain relations with various powerhouses.
Mindful of this, he said, “Call Nanan and Dragin over. I have something to ask of them.”
Daji nodded obediently and immediately went to the backyard.
Soon, Nanan and Dragin ran over and asked, “Brother Li, you called?”
Dragin saw the snow globe and her eyes instantly filled with curiosity. She grabbed it and began to shake it. Inside, the gray mist was like a stream of water, changing its shape as she shook it.
Heaven was made dizzy by the movement and was seething with anger. “You brats! I’ll make you pay for this!”
“It looks fun! Let me try, too!” said Nanan. She took it from Dragin and shook it even more vigorously.
“Gah! This is why I hate kids! Just you wait, you brats!” shouted Heaven.
After a while, Li Nianfan finally said, “Ask Little Fox to come, too. Let’s grill more donkey meat today and after that, the three of you can deliver it to the Heavenly Palace, the Demon Palace, the Underworld, and the major sects. It’s always good to have lots of friends.”
Dragin and Nanan nodded and said, “Yes, Brother Li.”
Time passed slowly like water. Many skilled fighters had begun to travel between the dimensions for a myriad of reasons—to see the future world, to find opportunities, to find a good place for their cultivation, to avoid being killed, and so forth.
However, the third dimension was broken, the fifth dimension was severely injured, and the fourth dimension was also in poor condition. Only the seventh dimension was thriving and full of Wisdom aura, so the seventh dimension attracted the most people. The Area of the Gods had undoubtedly become the center.
The powerhouses and skilled fighters who entered the Area of the Gods were as many as the salmon swimming upstream during spawning season. Once there, they would dominate the others or carefully explore the seventh dimension. With the passage of time, many people became more and more restless.
At this time, above the void, huge auspicious clouds were passing through. Above the auspicious clouds stood more than a dozen monks, all with cold expressions on their faces. Their icy aura shrouded their bodies, making them look extremely imposing.
At the forefront was an old man holding a horsetail whisk and a young man capped with a crown-jaded hat. They did not conceal their auras that were extremely overbearing as they enveloped the auspicious clouds. One glance and everyone knew they should not mess with them, so the other auspicious clouds had to take a detour.
One of the monks held a big banner high in his hands, and it was printed with a golden and huge word, ‘DRAGON’. The word was shining in the sun with traces of magic. People from the third dimension would instantly recognize that this was the banner of the Dragon Wave Sect.
The Dragon Wave Sect was not a big sect in the third dimension, but what made them powerful was the two Wisdom Elite members in it. Moreover, the sect master possessed an Ultimate Treasure blessed with the Origins of the third dimension, which gave it the power to effortlessly suppress any other Wisdom Elite.
Now that they had come out of the third dimension, they had risen from the bottom of the ranks and became one of the most powerful sects in the Area of the Gods.
The young man was the son of the sect master, Zhao Feng. Standing on the auspicious clouds, he stared at the mountains and rivers beneath his feet and smiled arrogantly. “I was born in a broken third dimension. I never expected the outside world to be so wonderful.”
The old man smiled lightly and said, “The outside world isn’t only wonderful, but opportunities are everywhere. In the future, the Dragon Wave Sect will become even more powerful and this great river and mountain you see before you will naturally belong to you!”
Zhao Feng sneered overbearingly and said, “Hehe, we possess a natural advantage since we came from the third dimension. Those in the Area of the Gods who pledge their allegiance to us will become our vassals and those who don’t will have to endure my wrath!”
“Your words are absolute. There are already nine sects willing to become our vassals,” said the old man.
“Where are we going next?” asked Zhao Feng.
“The Legendary Beast Sect.” The old man paused and continued, “According to the information I’ve received, this Legendary Beast Sect has a somewhat extraordinary background. It seems they have the backing of an influential figure from the Area of the Gods. It’s the number one sect in this area and feared by the surrounding sects.”
“Oh?” Zhao Feng arched his brow slightly and asked curiously, “How strong is it?”
“The power of the sect master is the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realm, and there is also an elder who’s also in the Heavenly Realm,” replied the old man.
“Is that all?” Zhao Feng sneered, shook his head, and said, “It seems that there aren’t many skilled fighters in the seventh dimension. From the looks of it, the influential figure behind them is probably not much stronger. At most, a Wisdom Elite.”
“The Legendary Beast Sect will be the first sect for us to conquer!” said the old man.
At the same time, in the Legendary Beast Sect, sect master Shi Turingmi was receiving distinguished guests. An old man and a beautiful girl were visiting him. The grandfather and granddaughter duo had come from the third dimension.
After coming out of the third dimension, they traveled in the seventh dimension and had no hegemony in mind. It was purely a holiday for them and they hoped to make some good friends along the way.
“Master Shi, I have noticed that the seventh dimension doesn’t have a lot of skilled fighters. I’m afraid that disaster will surely happen now that the portal’s opened up,” said the grandfather in a worried tone.
He had seen too many bloody storms in the third dimension. The seventh dimension was not strong enough to protect itself. It was very likely that it would follow in the third dimension’s footsteps and that its peaceful days were numbered.
Shi Turingmi shook his head, smiled, and said calmly, “There’s no need to worry about this. The seventh dimension’s definitely the safest. Whoever dares to go on a rampage in the Area of the Gods would inevitably be wiped out.”
He was not exaggerating, not when he could always count on the expert to suppress all evils. As long as the newcomers behaved themselves, they would be fine, and if not… Well, it was not hard to imagine what would happen to them. Although he did not know for sure just how powerful the expert was…the word invincible came to mind.
“What do you mean?” asked the grandfather.
“The Area of the Gods has the backing of a really powerful figure. You’ll see what I mean should a disaster really fall on this place.” Shi Turingmi smiled mysteriously and said proudly, “He’s teaching my daughter how to write and paint as we speak. By now, she should’ve attained some achievements.”
He was extremely proud of Shi Tuqin, and because of her, even the people of Heavenly Palace behaved respectfully toward him.
The grandfather and granddaughter looked at each other with puzzlement on their faces, wondering just where the heck Shi Turingming got that confidence of his. It was probably because he did not have any first-hand experience of terror that the third dimension could bring. However, they did not say all this out loud to Shi Turiming.
“Your daughter must be really talented, Master Shi. Qing Xuan, you’ll do well to learn from Master Shi’s daughter,” said the grandfather instead.
“Haha, you’re too kind!” said Shi Turiming.
Suddenly, a terrifying coercion fell from the sky, hitting the Legendary Beast Sect like a heavy hammer.
Immediately afterward, a loud voice was heard. “I, Zhao Feng, from the Dragon Wave Sect, am here to visit the Legendary Beast Sect!”
Shi Turiming’s face darkened. ‘Is this how you pay a visit?’
“Zhao Feng?!” The expressions of the grandfather and Qing Xuan changed at the same time and a ray of hatred burst into their eyes.
“You know him?” asked Shi Turiming.
“He’s the one who killed my father!” said Qing Xuan between gritted teeth, her eyes red.
The grandfather sighed and said, “Back in the third dimension, Zhao Feng saw Qing Xuan’s beauty and wanted to make her his. Her parents tried to fight them off while I escaped with her.”
Shi Turiming scoffed and said, “Those scoundrels.”
As they spoke, their expressions changed at the same time, and the mana of their bodies circulated out and turned into barriers. In the next moment, a terrifying force came crashing down and a huge palm phantom suddenly fell on the hall, shattering the entire hall and turning it into dust.
“This is outrageous!” shouted Shi Turiming after he took flight.
“Hey, it’s your own fault for not coming out the instant I announced my arrival,” said the Dragon Wave Sect’s old man with a sneer.
His Wisdom Elite’s power erupted, isolating the space around them while the Wisdom aura manifested one terrifying vision after another, making everyone in the Legendary Beast Sect tremble.
“There you are, Qing Xuan!” Zhao Feng’s eyes lit up with desire and excitement. “Hahaha, I’ve been looking for you for so many years. I can’t believe I found you here. Fate has brought us together once more. You’re destined to become my woman!”
“Bullsh*t! Don’t make stalking sound so romantic!” shouted Shi Turiming angrily. After all that he had experienced, it was only natural that he would not be afraid of Zhao Feng, hence the ridicule.
Zhao Feng’s face darkened. “Are you looking for death, old geezer?”
“Shi Turiming, we have no intention of fighting with you today. You only need to surrender to us and we’ll guarantee the safety of your sect,” said the old man.
“Save your breath, Old Yun. There’s no use reasoning with them. They don’t even have a Wisdom Elite amongst them. We should just kill them all!” said Zhao Feng savagely.
Yun Mofeng’s aura locked on Shi Turiming as he coldly said, “Oh well, you’ve got a point there. Die, Shi Turiming!”
“Watch out, Master Shi!” The grandfather strode over quickly and stared at Yun Mofeng with cold eyes. “I’ll kill you, Yun Mofeng!”
Zhao Feng smiled shamelessly, “Grandfather, it’s true we accidentally killed your son but we’ll become a family once I marry Qing Xuan. So, how about you stay out of this?”
As soon as he raised his hand, more than a dozen people behind him stepped out in unison and surrounded Qing Xuan and the others. Judging from the aura they were exuding, they were all in the Heavenly Realm.
He laughed maniacally and said to Qing Xuan, “Don’t think you’re getting out of this. We’ll be married by the end of the day!”
“I’d rather die than to be married to you!” said Qing Xuan firmly.
Shi Turiming stepped forward just when the grandfather was about to charge toward Yun Mofeng. “Why should I become the vassal of a lousy sect like yours? I advise you to give up your idea of marrying Miss Qing Xuan! You’re not worthy of her at all!”
Incensed, Zhao Feng pointed at Shi Turiming and shouted, “Old Yun, kill him now!”
Without hesitation, Yun Mofeng raised his hand and ruthlessly cast a palm strike at Shi Turiming. The power of Wisdom was like a galloping river and sea converging into a huge force as it headed for him.
“How naive of you to think you can kill me.” Shi Turiming had no intention of backing down and instead, charged toward it straight on.
This action not only stunned the Dragon Wave Sect but also Qing Xuan and her grandfather. The strength between a Wisdom Elite and the Heavenly Realm was like the difference between clouds and mud. They had never met a man as stubborn as Shi Turiming.
Just when the palm was about to fall on Shi Turiming, he suddenly raised his hand and a branch appeared in his hand. He wielded the branch like a sword and it actually pierced through the palm and neutralized the attack.
“How’s this possible?!” Yun Mofeng’s pupils suddenly widened as he stared at the branch. Then, he said in shock, “That branch is contaminated with the Origins aura!”
“The Origins?” Zhao Feng’s eyes immediately turned red and he said greedily, “We can refine it into an Origins Ultimate Treasure! Quick, grab it!”
“Hahaha, this is indeed a happy discovery. Lady Luck must be on our side. This will be a fine addition to our collection!” As Yun Mofeng laughed, his attack became fiercer. All kinds of ultimate spells were used to suppress Shi Turiming.
However, all of them were effortlessly dispelled by the branch in Shi Turiming’s hand. As the father of Shi Tuqin, he got to enjoy certain benefits. The branch was given to him by Shi Tuqin for him to use for self-defense. It was leftover material from the tables and chairs made by Li Nianfan and it came from the backyard.
“What a terrifying branch!” A chill ran up Yun Mofeng’s spine, making goosebumps break out all over his body. He was both scared and happy. It seemed like the branch had more Origins in it than he first thought.
Taking advantage of Yun Mofeng’s distracted state, Shi Turiming neutralized another one of his ultimate spells and then shoved the branch up his butt.
