Chapter 1036 - Blood-Colored Battle God (1/2)
Most of the time, the Jade Xiu King and the rest of them did not have much to say to Mo Yuqing because she was simply too haughty. That was just how the Divine Dragon Clan was.
Mo Wen appeared on the city walls that protected the palace and looked at Gu Jingman in the air. He felt rather relieved. No one had expected that the Gu Jingman of the past was able to make it this far. Although he had a part to play in that as well, Gu Jingman’s personal luck had been rather crucial too.
Had Gu Jingman not saved the woman from the Blood Clan in Fu Sang country that year, she would probably not be where she was today.
From up in the sky, Gu Jingman’s long hair floated and extended all the way below her toes. Her blood-red hair was just like silk—gorgeous and beautiful. As for her eyes, they were much more beautiful than the most precious ruby in the world; her crystalline pupils reflected a blood-colored world in them.
Her cultivation was unceasingly climbing. She had long broken through to the Tide Changing Realm, and kept climbing it without stop—the Tide Changing preliminary stage, then the preliminary stage pinnacle, then the Tide Changing intermediary stage, then the intermediary stage pinnacle, then the Tide Changing later stage, then the later stage pinnacle.
It finally slowed when she reached the Tide Changing later stage pinnacle, slowing and slowing, as though she was only one step away from the threshold. However, that last step seemed impossible to take no matter how she tried.
But just as Gu Jingman was about to stop altogether, the sky fell dark and started changing strangely.
A terrifying aura, like a heavenly force, started spreading. Initially, it had only been in the far distance, but it pervaded the sky above Intentionless City in a second.
…
“What’s that?”
Mo Wen’s face hardened over, his eyes looked stern as he looked at the sky. That aura was too terrifying, so there was no way that was the aura of a regular cultivator. Besides, that person was really audacious to let his aura bear down like that. They were not scrupulous at all, so it was obvious they did not care much about Intentionless City.
“Huh? A cultivator at the Supreme Profundity Realm. Not just that, the aura doesn’t seem like it’s only at the Supreme Profundity preliminary stage. The cultivator is at least at the Supreme Profundity intermediary stage.”
The Ink Scaled King’s face froze. That was a terrifying force that far surpassed his expectations. Such a huge power existed in a space as small as the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension—was it someone from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm?
Half a month had passed since that wave of attack in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Since that time, the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension had been especially quiet and no one had dared start trouble again. But everyone in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension knew that the quieter everything was, the more terrifying the next storm would be.
Half a month ago, so many people had died in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension that it was impossible for the big sects of the Peng Lai Immortal Realm to turn a blind eye to it. It went without saying that their animosity had only exacerbated. Even if it were for the sake of their pride, for them to save their reputation, there was no way the big sects could let them go. How embarrassing it would be if word got out that the mighty big sects of the Peng Lai Immortal Realm had suffered a total loss in such a tiny mystery dimension. They would become the butt of all jokes, no?
This was the reality of it. The incident from half a month ago had already caused huge waves in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm and shook things up in many of the big sects.
Even disregarding the sects that had grudges against Mo Wen, there were other unrelated sects that had started taking notice of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. A sect that could kill Tide Changing cultivators as they wished was not a small sect, not even in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.
“That person is likely a cultivator at the Supreme Profundity intermediary stage. That aura is rather terrifying, so it’s likely they’re nearing the Supreme Profundity later stage,” the Jade Xiu King said with a stern face. This was also his first time encountering a person with such high cultivation.
The person had just stepped into the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension and had not reached the Intentionless City yet, but that aura had already caused his body to tense up and the power in it to flow slower. One could only imagine how terrifying the person was.
Even Mo Yuqing, someone of the Divine Dragon Clan, looked at the sky. Her crystalline eyes glinted somewhat coldly and sternly, but her face was arrogant as always, not betraying any trace of emotions.
“The Green Ancient Mystery Dimension is great, to think such people exist here. You’re wasting your talents by staying in such a small mystery dimension, lady, so why not acknowledge me as your master? I guarantee you’ll become an unparalleled cultivator.”
A strange voice rang out in the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. As it spoke, a figure arrived in the sky above Intentionless City. For a cultivator of this level, the distance to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension was no distance at all; they could move anywhere they so pleased with just a single thought.
That person was an old man who had short stature and a head of white hair. What was strange about him was that his eyebrows were black and rather dense. He held in his hand a walking cane, but an old sword was on his back. He had a rather strange get-up.
He fixed his gaze on Gu Jingman the moment he appeared. Something strange flashed in his eyes
“That’s the leader of the Sword Valley, that’s Old Man Xuan You! Good God, what’s he doing here?”
“Old Man Xuan You. The first cultivator of the Sword Valley, Old Man Xuan You, is actually here in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Oh my God, this is too much. Old Man Xuan You is a giant even in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, he exists at the peak of the pyramid.”
“Old Man Xuan You is here in person, haha, the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension is doomed for real this time. The people here were too arrogant—the audacity of them to challenge our sects from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.”
…
A lot of spies and scouts hid in Intentionless City and these people were rather discreet. They blended in with the crowds and not even Mo Wen had been able to weed out every single one of them. As cultivators from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, it was only natural that they could tell who the old man was with just one look. This was the leader of the Sword Valley— cultivators from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm who did not know about him were few and far between.
“Lady, I’m the leader of the Sword Valley. You might not know who I am now but you will soon, and you’ll find out I’m much stronger compared to your master. Besides, if you become my disciple, I can guarantee that you’ll be the next leader of the Sword Valley.”
Old Man Xuan You stroked his beard with one hand, trying his best to smile gently. His eyes were sweeping up and down Gu Jingman’s body and they gave off a terrifying glow.
Anyone could tell that Old Man Xuan You was blissful, and even agitated, as though he had seen a rare treasure. He was in a highly charged state.
