Chapter 613: 611. Threats and Blackmail
Translator: 549690339
The 16th level of the Martial Path was called Transcendence. It lit up oneâs own holy fire, cleansed the body, and reborn. From then on, one would no longer be an ordinary person. It was called Transcendence into the Saint Realm and buried in the Martial Saint Realm.
The 17th realm of the Martial Path was called Peak Ascending. It was when a martial artist built his own Holy Mountain and finally reached the peak.
Further ahead was the 18th realm of the Martial Path, which was called Creation Extreme.
Above the peak, his aurora lit up. It was the essence of his martial arts intent that was continuously condensed over and over again.
These three realms were the Martial Saint Realm.
The brighter the aurora, the more likely it was to illuminate the path to heaven, cross the natural moat, and challenge the higher realm of the Supreme
Realm.
Some peopleâs auroras were just a little bit, some peopleâs auroras were condensed into a line, and some peopleâs auroras could illuminate the world.
The strength of the aurora represented the hope of a martial artist to rush to a higher realm in the future. At the same time, it also represented the martial artistâs current strength.
Therefore, the difference in strength between Martial Saints at the peak of the 18th realm might even be greater than the difference between the 17th realm and the 18th realm.
Those with the peak of the aurora were equivalent to standing outside the Martial Honored Realm and facing the real Martial Honored Realm.
Therefore, existences like the Dragon King, the Rain Master, and the Queen of the Wilderness could temporarily resist some of the big shots. However, there was a difference between inside and outside the door.
The people of the Ancient Gods Clan suddenly saw a beam of light rising into the sky from their headquarters.
As the successors of the Holy Land, everyone had extraordinary knowledge.
They could tell at a glance that a Martial Saint at the 17th realm had broken through and reached the peak.
Looking at the direction of the aurora, everyone knew that it was their new sect master.
Although they were mentally prepared, when it really happened, many people were still speechless.
It had not even been two years since their new Sect Master had gone from the fourteenth realm to the eighteenth realmâŠ
Such speed was probably the only one in the history of the Mortal Dust World.
Although the Empress of Dongzhou was younger when she reached the peak of the Martial Saint Realm, she had never advanced so quickly from the 14th to the 18th realm.
âLast year, although there were already rumors that he was the successor of the Supreme Martial Artist, at that time, no one could have expected this day.â Elder Gao sighed.
The people around him looked at him and could not help but roll their eyes.
Yes, yes, yes, I know you have good eyesight and bet early. Iâm the first old Su in the sect to get close to Cult Master Chen. Someone stole a glance at Lian Bu Yi.
Everyone sighed in their hearts.
Lian Buyi was originally the number one person among the younger generation of the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan. He was ranked among the Red Dust Ten Heroes and had reached the 17th realm at a young age.
Her cultivation was progressing steadily. She had benefited a lot from the battle with Zheng Chi last year and had slowly accumulated experience. She was getting closer and closer to the eighteenth realm.
With his age, it was rare for him to have such a high cultivation level in the entire mortal world.
In the current Ancient Gods Clan, Lian Buyi ranked top five in terms of strength, excluding the missing Jiang Yi and He Sen.
Including the Sect Elders Du Qiming and Peng Feng, the elders of the various Holy Lands in the mortal world no longer treated her as an ordinary junior.
If it wasnât for the fact that she was a disciple of Zheng Chi and her relationship with Jiang Yi was unknown, she would definitely be the candidate for the position of sect leader. Lin Yan, Hou Jingfei, Tang Yiming, and the others wouldnât be able to compete with each other.
However, the position of the new cult master had already been taken by someone else.
Chen Luoyang was even more special than her.
In all aspects, it was more special.
Now, even his cultivation had caught up.
Lian Bu Yi himself didnât seem to be affected by this. He just stared at the aurora that soared into the sky.
Her expression changed slightly.
The other experts of the Ancient Gods Clan also looked the same.
Under everyoneâs gaze, the seemingly real and illusory pillar of light began to spread out in all directions, turning into an ocean of light that illuminated the world. It was endless and illuminated the mortal world.
Tang Yiming looked at his master, Peng Feng.
Elder Peng looked at Elder Du Qiming, who was also at the eighteenth realm.
Elder Du nodded slightly.
Peng Feng let out a breath.
âMasterâŠâ Tang Yiming probed.
After a moment of silence, Peng Feng said, âEven the previous Sect Master, Senior Martial Brother Jiang, didnât have this kind of momentum when he was at the peak mastery realm.â
Tang Yiming was shocked, âDoesnât that meanâŠâ
âIf nothing unexpected happens, itâs only a matter of time before he becomes a Martial Honor.â Peng Feng nodded.
The surrounding people fell silent.
At this moment, the aurora that illuminated the world suddenly retracted and dimmed.
Everyone was shocked and confused.
Was there something wrong with his sect masterâs cultivation, or was his foundation unstable and lacked stamina?
Everyone had their own thoughts and rushed to the location of the Golden Parasol Tree.
The Golden Parasol Tree shone brightly, but it was dark under the tree.
Chen Luoyang was in the darkness as he quietly watched his aurora turn from bright to dark, turning into a patch of darkness as if night had descended.
âThe Demon Lordâs martial intent has changed so muchâŠ
Chen Luoyangâs heart was calm as he pondered and slowly restrained his aura.
The darkness dissipated, leaving only his figure sitting under the Golden Parasol Tree.
When the Ancient Gods Clan arrived, they saw their Hierarch open his eyes. Dark golden light flashed, which was terrifying.
Everyone didnât know what was going on and bowed to Chen Luoyang in a daze.
âCongratulations to Cult Master for reaching the peak and reaching another level.â
When he said this, many people didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
In the history of the Red Dust Ancient Gods Sect, when the Sect Masters succeeded to the throne, they were at least at the peak of the 18th level Martial Saint Realm. Everyone congratulated them. The lowest was to congratulate the Sect Master for breaking through to the Martial Honored Realm. They had never tried to congratulate the Sect Master for breaking through to the 18th level.
However, when these people looked at Chen Luoyang and sensed his soul-stirring aura, they couldnât even think of any absurd thoughts.
Moreover, even if Chen Luoyangâs strength wasnât mentioned, just looking at the Golden Parasol Tree was enough to make one lose their temper.
In the end, everyone could only wonder.
Chen Luoyang stood up from under the tree and turned around to press his palm on the parasol tree trunk.
As the light flashed, the Golden Parasol Tree suddenly shrank and turned into a radiance that was absorbed into Chen Luoyangâs sleeve.
âIâm going to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for a walk. Iâll be back later.â He looked at Su Wei and the others.
The high-level experts of the Ancient Gods Clan who had received his order immediately said in unison, ââFarewell, Cult Master.â
When the Cult Master went out, the four hall masters didnât move. There were elites from the four halls accompanying him. The people from the Divine Demon Palace, other than those who were in seclusion, also followed.
The group of them immediately headed towards the Dongzhou Empire.
As the Hierarch pulled out the Golden Parasol Tree, Emperor Xiâs ancient formation that covered the Ancient Gods Clanâs headquarters also gradually dispersed.
However, the Ancient Gods Clan didnât think much about it.
Without the protection of the powerful figures and Emperor Xiâs ancient formation, the headquarters of the Ancient Gods Clan was indeed weak.
However, that was a problem that would only occur when a powerful enemy at the level of a giant invaded.
The Ancient Gods Clan was one of the sacred lands of the mortal world, so they were not afraid of enemies other than the Martial Honors.
As for the experts at the level of tycoons, before they had a way to break Emperor Xiâs ancient formation, they generally wouldnât come to the headquarters of the Ancient Gods Clan to cause trouble.
Otherwise, their sect master would have definitely brought the ancient formation to the other partyâs lair.
After all, there were only a few powerhouses in the mortal world who had no ties, and most of them had a relationship with their sect masterâŠ
The people of the Ancient Gods Clan looked at each other.
Thinking of this, he felt that his sect master was extraordinary. Although he was still a Martial Saint, he couldnât be taken lightly.
The new Sect Master of the Ancient Gods Clan, Chen Luoyang, swaggered out of the Ancient Gods Clanâs headquarters with the Emperor Xi Ancient Formation. He didnât have any intention of hiding his whereabouts, so he naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the mortal world.
The Eastern Zhou Empire had expelled the Green Bull Temple, and the Green Bull Temple had managed to find a temporary shelter on the Ancient Gods
Clanâs grounds. Chen Luoyang had also quickly headed to the Eastern Zhou Empire, and this caused everyoneâs imagination to run wild.
In fact, most of the people of Ancient Gods Clan didnât know why their Hierarch went to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
However, they formally greeted Dong Zhou, indicating that their leader was visiting the Empress of Dong Zhou.
The East Zhou Empire welcomed them, but they were very cautious.
Chen Luoyang saw everything and could roughly guess the thoughts of all parties.
In his previous life, the great countries were wary of each other for planting mushrooms.
In this life, it was others who were worried that he would plant parasol trees at home.
In the past, there was a nuclear threat. Now, there was a âtree threatâ.
Of course, if it was not necessary, he did not plan to do so. After all, it meant that the other sideâs powerhouses would also take revenge on the Ancient Gods Clanâs headquarters.
Moreover, he had just planted a parasol tree in his headquarters not long ago. The golden parasol tree still needed some time to recuperate. Otherwise, it would not be conducive to the activation of Emperor Xiâs ancient formation. The scale and speed would be reduced.
Now that he was swaggering around the mortal world with the parasol tree, it could not be called a âtree threatâ. At most, it could only be called âtree blackmailâ.
However, it was fine as long as they knew this in their hearts. The others could not figure out the details.
The only thing that could counter this move was the man and the phoenix in Xian Tian Palace. However, the good news was that as long as the seed was not planted in Xian Tian Palace, the man and the phoenix would not care about what happened in the outside world.
However, this was ultimately a flaw that he had to find a way to make up forâŠ
Just as Chen Luoyang was pondering and calculating, the Ancient Gods Clanâs group traveled through mountains and rivers and arrived at the East Zhou Empire.
The Eastern Zhou martial artists who had received the notice early on were met by someone.
âGreetings, Cult Master Chen.â
It was an old acquaintance, Wei Chaoran, the Dingyuan General of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
But speaking of which, this was the first time he was meeting Chen Luoyangâs true body.
Wei Chaoran had suffered a lot in the Wilderness. Although he was not injured, his aura was weak.
âPatriarch Wei.â Chen Luoyang nodded calmly.
When Wei Chaoran heard how Chen Luoyang addressed him, his gaze couldnât help but narrow slightly. However, he immediately regained his composure.â His Majesty already knows about your visit and has invited you to a gathering in Tianfeng. Iâve been ordered to welcome you here as the vanguard. â
âLetâs go.â Chen Luoyangâs tone was calm.
The two sides joined forces and advanced towards the Eastern Zhou Imperial City, the Sky Seal City.
Wei Chaoran led the way as if nothing had happened, but he secretly sighed.
On the other hand, he knew that the other party had brought along Emperor Xiâs ancient formation, but he didnât seem to care and still treated the guests in his own capital.
On the other side, they knew that the capital of the dynasty had the best geographical conditions and was guarded by the best of the big shots, but they still came directly to the door. Both sides were extremely ambitiousâŠ
