Chapter 524 Qingming (2/2)
The green Qi was buzzing but soon dispersed.
The executioner wiped his sweat and said, ”Shit, what kind of monster is this? He is finally dead.”
If it was not for that demonic blade, the executioner would not be able to slaughter Wen Zhong successfully. The Death Proof Body was a feat that not many people of the Xia Tribe was able to achieve.
Shortly after that, the executioner started rubbing his eyes in disbelief. Like a puddle of clay, Wen Zhong's corpse transformed and manifested into two iron rods.
Beyond Wangcheng, a voice could be heard saying, ”How would the army and blades get rid of a celestial-disaster? Demonic thoughts could lead to blind anger.”
The Dao melody lingered that sounded like a prophecy lingered in the deeps of Xia Palace.
Emperor Xia was not furious by it. He looked at High Priest who was lying on the bed and asked, ”What is the background of this person.”
The High Priest leaned against the pillow and sighed, ”He is most probably a descendant of the Shangqing School.”
”A disciple of Lingbao Tianzun?” Emperor Xia was doubtful.
”He should be the third generation. If he is Lingbao Tianzun's disciple, he would have the cultivation experience of a heavenly immortal. Now that these hidden ancient figures are beginning to appear, it would be a tough road ahead for us. It's wiser for you to give up on Xia Kingdom,” the High Priest said.
Wen Zhong's appearance signified that a certain group of ancient connoisseurs who had been hiding over the years would make a comeback soon.
The Netherworld would no longer be dominated by Xia Kingdom as it used to be.
Emperor Xia looked at the High Priest with a scorching hot gaze and said, ”Without Xia Kingdom, would I still be Emperor Xia? Sustaining a career is harder than starting one. I will protect Si Wenming's legacy and let everyone know that who is the real Emperor of Xia.”
The High Priest sighed, ”The two of you are different. There is no need for you to prove it to anyone.”
Emperor Xia lets out a laugh and exited the hall. The High Priest looked deeply at the back view of Emperor Xia and thought to himself that Emperor Xia had entered Dao with his emotions.
Generally, people of Xia would only cultivate their strength and not cultivate Dao. That was the reason why they had the strength and yet were weak spiritually. When they reached the level of walking celestials of the earth, they had a slight upper hand compared to Qi cultivators.
However, Emperor Xia had broken free from this limitation. His spiritual sense entered a exquisite state, prompting him to the path of Dao with his emotions. The manipulation of the demonic blade earlier showed that his blade craft could match with swordcraft of Asura Blood Sea.
When the time comes where Emperor Xia could kill either Shen Lian or Tianyi, he would have achieved the level of Si Wenming. Emperor Xia would be untouchable even if there were any hidden ancient connoisseurs in the Netherworld.

Shen Lian took a seat inside of the Zhiwei Temple. The monk of Dajue Temple was still struggling to escape from the prison circle where Shen Lian drew.
He looked towards the direction of Wangcheng and said, ”You knew of the tactic of sacrificing the plum tree to preserve the peach tree too.” The pressure that was clouding Diqiu had dispersed greatly and the design of nature became a lot clearer.
There were five different Qi dynamics in Diqiu that swept across the universe. Among them, there were four that were most tyrannical and was capable of competing with the stars, moon, and sun. It was also possible to see the four rays of raging Qi dynamics gushing up to the clouds during daylight. As a result, the weather would be clear and perfect with zero dust.
Shen Lian had a sudden realization as he vaguely saw a dark heavy book in a corner of the void. That book was the root and source of the Netherworld and anyone who controlled it would be the master of the world.
