Chapter 169: First, Let’s Go to Jade Purity Sect to Reap Some Benefits
“Master, Junior Apprentice Brother!”
With a loud bang, the door of the Sect Main Hall was pushed open.
“Ah, ah, ah…”
Zhang Chuqiao let out a sharp scream!
“What are you… doing?”
“We’re cultivating!”
The two spoke in unison, their faces flushed.
“Cultivating? Is this how you cultivate? It’s broad daylight!”
The Senior Apprentice Sister was furious, directly flipping over the bed.
“Not during the day? Then at night…”
Mu Ran Ya asked weakly.
“Not at night either!”
The Senior Apprentice Sister was enraged and declared, “From today on, an additional rule is added to the sect: Master strictly prohibits the harassment of disciples!”
“Why is that?”
Mu Ran Ya wore an innocent expression, causing Zhang Chuqiao to snicker, her anger fading away.
Even an unparalleled beauty acting spoiled can make another unmatched beauty helpless!
“Alright, alright, stop messing around. There’s serious business!”
Upon hearing this, the two sat up straight.
“Just now…”
As soon as the words left her mouth, a thunderous sound resonated, and a terrifying shockwave surged through, causing the entire Eastern Continent to tremble, triggering a great earthquake!
The people outside the sect looked terrified, but in the next moment, the Profound Sky Nine Flowers Great Formation naturally activated, calming all disturbances.
“It seems I don’t need to say anything. Let’s go out and take a look.”
The three stepped out together and arrived outside the Joyful Union Sect.
They saw the eastern sky filled with colorful clouds and auspicious light, as if some unparalleled treasure was emerging.
“That direction is… the direction of the wasteland!”
Zhou Tong’s heart skipped a beat. The starting point of his memories began from there; at eight years old, he had been picked up by Jade Purity Sect in the wasteland.
In an instant, he opened his Heavenly Eye, scanning the boundless expanse with his endless spiritual power.
“The item that calms the mountain has shifted…”
He muttered, sensing the implications.
A mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals that dwell within. Now, strange phenomena were arising in the wasteland, as if it were the last brilliance; after this event, the mountain would likely cease to exist!
At the thought of this, his brows furrowed tightly.
To break through the Void Self Realm, one must find the “former self,” that is, the self of the past.
If the wasteland disappears, his path to breakthrough would inevitably face setbacks.
Thus, he had to observe it, no matter what.
“Junior Apprentice Brother, I’ve sent someone to investigate; that place has collapsed into a secret realm, and there are restrictions preventing any strong warriors above the Cycle Realm from entering.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong’s eyes lit up.
“That’s just what I need.”
He spoke to himself; with his current cultivation of the Threefold Realm of Life and Death, as long as no Semi-Sage appeared, almost no one could harm him.
Of course, if someone dared to recklessly use their spiritual power to contend with him, even a Sage would become an ant!
“I’ll go.”
Zhou Tong said without hesitation, ready to take action.
“I’ll accompany you!”
The Senior Apprentice Sister stated firmly, her eyes focused solely on him.
“Alright, let’s set out immediately. Master can guard the sect.”
The two bid farewell to Mu Ran Ya and were about to act when Zhou Tong suddenly felt a tingling sensation all over his body, a chilling feeling creeping up.
“Wait…!”
He drew in a breath of cold air, his brow furrowing, stopping in his tracks.
“What’s wrong?”
“I have a very bad premonition. This feeling has only appeared a few times, but every time it’s incredibly accurate.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a splitting headache, and a radiant light burst forth from his forehead, a manifestation of the Ignorant Realm operating at its peak!
“Uh…”
He could not help but tremble, an unusual scene manifesting before his eyes.
In the wasteland, a towering and broken corpse slowly stood up; the figure swung a giant sword down, unleashing a wave of bloody chaos.
The image was fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, Zhou Tong returned to normal.
“This is a glimpse into the future…”
He immediately understood everything; the Imperial Realm spirit touched the Void Self Realm and could coincidentally see a glimpse of the past or future.
Could the previous scene be the real situation in the wasteland?
“The Holy King remains…”
He never expected the wasteland to be a Holy King’s burial site!
A Holy King is a realm above a Sage; even in death, with a dispersed soul, the physical body still holds the possibility of communication, which is extremely dangerous.
With that entity in the wasteland, they could not recklessly approach.
“Before that, we need to make some preparations.”
Zhou Tong glanced towards the direction of Jade Purity Sect.
He had countless methods to deal with corpse evils.
But the most cost-effective way was to use the earthlines.
The earth is the mother of all things, able to embrace everything; the refined earthline can integrate and dispel all corpse evils!
“Jade Purity Sect, it’s your turn to contribute.”
“Let’s go! We’re going to reap some benefits!”
Zhou Tong grabbed Zhang Chuqiao’s wrist and hurried towards the Jade Purity Sect.
“Little rascal… you escaped again!”
Mu Ran Ya stomped her foot in mid-air, wanting to follow, but ultimately calmed down.
Since Zhou Tong let her guard the sect, it meant that she didn’t need to take action just yet.
…
A hundred miles outside Jade Purity Sect, Zhou Tong and the others stopped.
“Know thy enemy and know thyself, and you won’t be imperiled in a hundred battles.”
Zhou Tong released his spiritual power, prepared to probe the situation.
No sooner had he probed than he smiled.
Jade Purity Sect really was quite lazy.
The starry formation had clearly been destroyed, yet they had not set up a new formation in the first place, obviously thinking Zhou Tong wouldn’t return.
“That little brat is too much… We must make the Joyful Union Sect pay a price, or others will look down upon Jade Purity Sect!”
An Elder, enraged, said grimly.
“Exactly, we cannot let those shameless people become too arrogant!”
“Why don’t we use their own methods against them, gather the great evil energy, and unleash it on the Joyful Union Sect to let them bring about their own destruction!”
As soon as this was said, it was immediately met with consensus from the crowd.
“Alright, it’s settled!”
Wu Zhan slammed the table, and his eyes were already blood-red.
His current situation was very bleak; the disaster of failing to become a Saint lingered around him, yet he was completely indifferent, only wanting revenge against the Joyful Union Sect.
“It seems we really came at the right time today.”
Zhou Tong retracted his spiritual power, wearing a wicked smile.
He said to Zhang Chuqiao, “Senior Sister, follow my lead; let’s take the initiative and let them taste the flavor of the Breath of Annihilation!”
As the two approached the Jade Purity Sect, they stopped when reaching the limit of the enemy’s spiritual power detection.
“Spirit Power Second Bomb, Withering Soul Chase!”
Zhou Tong made his move, countless clusters of condensed spiritual power fell toward Jade Purity Sect, hovering in all corners.
These bombs were formless and colorless, difficult to detect, and extremely stable; they would only explode upon contact with external spiritual power.
“Senior Sister, it’s your turn!”
As the words fell, black energy gushed forth from Zhang Chuqiao’s hands.
Then, the Power of Unity combined with the Breath of Annihilation, transforming into a pitch-black sun!
“Go!”
The sun descended, bringing darkness.
In an instant, the people of Jade Purity Sect felt their scalps tingle!
“Enemy attack! Guard!”
