Chapter 1051 - Five Phases Sealing Technique (1/2)

The Southern Cloud King sat there. His gaze crossed through the void and landed just outside the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace within Fiery Zhao Nation.
One could see his eyes flitting through many scenes, of which there was one where Xue Ying dealt against Chang Su Wang. Actually, given Xue Ying’s current strength, he could manipulate time-space with greater finesse especially after his soul had been nourished with the mysterious aura from the higher dimensional world outside the Realm Heart Great Land. Hence, many scouting techniques would fail to locate where Xue Ying was.
Just like how Scarlet-Browed Mountain Master hid his avatar in the past, even the Sacred Master could not find it. Only ‘Old Monster Stone’ with his unique technique could do so.
Given the strength of Southern Cloud King, it was still impossible for him to trace all the way to where ‘Xue Ying was’.
But that battle was something he knew beforehand! Hence, he just had to observe that location and investigate through the past.
‘Weird.’
‘What exactly is the technique that allowed him to deal with Chang Su Wang so soundlessly while not leaving behind any clues?’ Southern Cloud King thought. Other combat techniques would create a massive disturbance. But the illusory realm dealt against the soul. Hence it did not produce any ripples at all.
‘Is it a soul-related technique? Or some unique secret treasure?’ Southern Cloud King made his guesses. He then smiled.
No matter what.
It was a good thing that his disciple was strong. Powerful cultivators would usually have their own secrets. The Southern Cloud King would not dig this out as well.
‘The foundation of Sky Sword Sect is weaker than my Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. But with two great ancient nations aiding them, my Southern Cloud Sacred Religion is overall at a disadvantaged. This disciple of mine is still more amazing than I expected.’ Southern Cloud King looked forward to it. Just like how the two great ancient nations had dispatched experts to help the Sky Sword Sect in the dark. After all, it meant nothing when a mysterious expert from the Myriad Realms Ancient Nation appear and defeat Xue Ying.
That mysterious expert wasn’t a disciple from the Sky Sword Sect.
His victory did not represent the absolute art from ‘Sky Sword Sect’ was more powerful!
Hence, only when the disciples from the two great religions compete could it determine the strength between the two great religions. Xue Ying was the personal disciple of the Southern Cloud King! His victory, especially when he utilized void techniques, represented the prowess of Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. It made many cultivators recognize: “Ying Shan Xue Ying has joined the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion and grew so much. It is right for me to join the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion as well, and learning at least part of what Ying Shan Xue Ying did would be sufficient.”
After all, the more geniuses a religion had, and the more experts it had, the more attractive that religion would be.

Fiery Zhao Nation, within the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace.
Xue Ying had already dismissed his subordinates. He was cultivating by himself.
“Hu hu hu.”
Nonetheless, sounds of the wind whistling could be heard from within the completely sealed hall. A white-robed young man was currently seated on a praying mat. Above him were three strands of ray that covered the entire sky. A single light ray was actually a piece of dark primal chaos that was incredibly heavy. The void that contained this primal chaos had congealed in its presence. The second light ray was filled with void and emptiness–it would appear at times and disappear at times. The last light ray, though, was a surging wave of the void.
Currently, the sound of the wind was produced from the faint yet-to-formed fourth light ray.
When it condensed, it would turn into silk. Yet as it dissipated, it would transform into a mist.
The object in question was the void. The void had been compressed into strands of silk and separated into an incorporeal matter.
“I always lack just that bit to completing this technique.” Xue Ying sat there frowning. He was doing his best to condense the fourth light ray, yet it dissipated immediately after that.
“Sou.”
The cross-legged Xue Ying moved.
He teleported to the midair, albeit his body had suddenly turned planar–he had transformed into a piece of art. His entire person sat within this piece of art. Closely following that, the art dissipated just like mist. The seated Xue Ying suddenly flashed and soon divided into a dense number of several hundred bodies all seated down.
“Five phases, five phases. I always lack that final bit to completing this ‘Mist Phase’…” The several hundred seated Xue Ying muttered to himself.
“That’s right!”
