Chapter 1388 Must Die (1/2)
When palace master Sheng Yuan’s cultivation double finally vanished, the crowd on the city walls deeply sighed in relief before suddenly realizing they were drenched in sweat.
Even Chi Jing, Wu Yao, Su Youwei, Zhao Mushen and the others had grave expressions and wariness in their eyes. The pressure from palace master Sheng Yuan was much greater than the Sacred Race’s Tia Xuan.
This was only normal. No matter how strong Tai Xuan was, he was still within the realm of the Law Domain stage, while though palace master Sheng Yuan was only a half-Saint, he had already come into contact with the Saint realm...
The two were completely different in a sense.
Shen Taiyuan rubbed his chest, trying to calm his panic. Palace master Sheng Yuan was far too infamous in Cangxuan Heaven, and let alone a pseudo Law Domain expert like him, even the other four great sect leaders would be full of wariness and even fear if they came to face palace master Sheng Yuan.
He looked towards Zhou Yuan and sighed. “You’re a little too ballsy.”
Zhou Yuan had shown no fear in the face of palace master Sheng Yuan, and had even destroyed the other party’s cultivation double. Such courage was truly shocking.
However, Shen Taiyuan also understood that if there was anyone in Cangxuan Heaven who could at least pose a threat to palace master Sheng Yuan, it would be Zhou Yuan.
This made Shen Taiyuan sigh with feeling. The newborn calf from back then had already become a dragon. He could already envision how Zhou Yuan’s name would soon shake the entire Cangxuan Heaven.
“That was merely a cultivation double, there’s nothing to be afraid of.” Zhou Yuan chuckled.
Shen Taiyuan felt a little helpless. “Only you can say such a thing.”
Zhou Yuan stared at the spot that palace master Sheng Yuan’s cultivation double had disappeared and asked, “Has Sheng Yuan’s true body personally taken action for the past few years?”
Shen Taiyuan pondered for a while before he answered, “He should have when the Heavenly Ghost Sect was destroyed. Otherwise, a faction as big as the Heavenly Ghost Sect could not have been wiped out in a single night.
“Besides that one time, he does not seem to have ever appeared in his true body. Otherwise, our situation would be much worse.”
A thoughtful look arose on Zhou Yuan’s face. “Is it because he has yet to fully recover? Although he only appeared as a cultivation double earlier, the strength he displayed was definitely stronger than back then...or perhaps, he did not appear for many years because he has a more important goal?”
Zhou Yuan’s eyes flickered faintly in thought. If there was something more important to Sheng Yuan, it would definitely be to take that final step and become a true Saint expert.
“Peak master, what’s the situation with the Cangxuan Saint Stamp fragments?” asked Zhou Yuan.
“The fighting hasn’t stopped ever since you shattered the Cangxuan Saint Stamp. In the earlier years, the six great sects fought as independent entities, which made it the most chaotic period.”
Shen Taiyuan gravely said, “But the Sacred Palace gradually began to take the lead as their strength rapidly grew. Even without palace master Sheng Yuan, they were still capable of threatening the other five great sects. Hence, the five great sects were subsequently forced into an alliance, allowing them to slowly stabilize the balance of power. However, the share of fragments obtained by the Sacred Palace over the years should still exceed 60%.”
“More than 60%...” Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. This figure was clear evidence of the Sacred Palace’s superior might.
“It’s all because of the Divine Blood Altar that suddenly appeared which palace master Sheng Yuan used it to create the Sacred Demon Army that has basically been unstoppable in their march across Cangxuan Heaven.” Shen Taiyuan smiled bitterly.
“The Divine Blood Altar should be the Sacred Race’s work.” Zhou Yuan slowly said. Otherwise, a half-Saint like Sheng Yuan could not possibly have crafted such an amazing treasure.
“Sheng Yuan truly is the scum of Cangxuan Heaven!” Shen Taiyuan was clearly angered. The all-heavens and the Sacred Race were mortal enemies with deep-seated hatred between them. However, Sheng Yuan willingly chose to be the Sacred Race’s dog, a decision that made others truly despise him.
However, Shen Taiyuan also understood that being angry won’t change anything. He turned around and looked towards Zhou Yuan. “However, the situation will be different now that you’ve come with such strong reinforcements.”
