Chapter 426 - 【Sky Searching Art】 (1/2)

Feng Wuji then said solemnly, "Do not underestimate him. Mister Kun Da might not know about him now, but he is not a figure to be looked down on. The boy from the Zhong Shan Clan is very intelligent – a gifted tactician. Trouble follows wherever he goes. In the demon race, he's sacrificed the eight saint clan masters to the demon god. In the North Barren, he was the one who destroyed the teleportation portal that was meant for the Kun Peng Celestial Race, and he used your Divine Wing Saber to cut the Fiery Capital into two pieces and still left unscathed. Even with three magnates, Mister Sha and the other two Martial Heavenly Masters of the Zhong `Li Celestial Race couldn't take him down in battle."

Mister Kun Da then turned and looked at Sha Qishan in surprise before saying, "Sha Qishan, even you can't capture him?"

Sha Qishan gave a cold sneer, and he said, "If it weren't for the Bai Zhe Clan, I alone could have taken down ten of him."

Feng Wuji startled, he then realized that Sha Qishan was reluctant to concede his loss, taking the fact that he could not capture Zhong Yue as a stain to his reputation. Surely, he wouldn't talk about it in front of the Kun Peng Celestial Race, only blaming the Bai Zhe Clan for his failure.

Mister Kun Da smiled, he answered calmly, "High priest of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race, you have no idea just how strong our Kun Peng Celestial Race is, do you? If you know just how precarious the Celestial Wood Star is, then you will know how strong we are. Just a mere human, how is there a need for so many Kun Peng to kill him."

The surroundings then changed as he surged out his psyche and simulated the Celestial Wood Star.

The sky of the Celestial Wood Star was dark as always, with lightning striking down like the rain. Every flash of lightning was a hundred times thicker and longer than those that struck on the Ancestral Star, and as one would expect, their power was also a hundred times greater!

The planet was also primarily covered in water with little to no land. The oceans were big enough to give rise to enormously huge waves that reached up to tens of miles high, high enough to touch the clouds. The force with which they returned to the sea was so terrifyingly powerful that the waves themselves were akin to divine weapons!

Above the cloud layer, a myriad of peculiar creatures hovered in the sky, mired in constant battle against the Kun Peng Qi Practitioners.

This was the Celestial Wood Star, the planet that the Kun Peng Race called home. Their lives were a series of struggles for survival, and between fighting the peculiar creatures and battling the elements, their prowess would undoubtedly be greater than those who lived in the relative safety of the Ancestral Star!

An uncharacteristically gloomy expression appeared on Feng Wuji's usual tranquil face. A dangerous land would nurture equally dangerous creatures. Although the dragon race had condemned the Kun Peng Celestial Race to the treacherous environment of the Celestial Wood Star, their overall strength had evolved to a point far beyond that of other races!

In comparison to the Celestial Wood Star, the Ancestral Star was like an idyllic paradise. Those that lived here were not mired by the constant threat of death in every second of their lives, and they didn't have to fight with all their might just to secure their survival.

As such, even the Xiao Mang experts might not be able to compete against the Kun Peng experts of the same cultivation level. They might not even stand a chance at all!

Feng Wuji's heart gripped at this realization, and he turned even more vigilant against the Kun Peng Celestial Race, The Kun Peng Celestial Race is strong, and their Qi Practitioners are warmongers. They fought all their lives, and the desire to fight has been ingrained in their blood. I must exercise caution against of them, or else, a slight moment of inattention can bring a calamity on the Xiao Mang Celestial Race!

"Zhong Li of the North Barren and demons of the Eight Barren … Hmph, they are nothing more than corrupted children that inherited their ancestors' achievements. How can these worthless punks be compared to us, the Kun Peng Celestial Race?"

Mister Kun Da said matter-of-factly, "On the Celestial Wood Star, a little stone is three times heavier than on the Ancestral Star. We of the Kun Peng Celestial Race lived in a gravitational field three times greater than here. Our Qi Practitioners are stronger than any one of yours! High priest, there is no need to be so … cautious. I will take care of things and you, you can just relax and wait for my good news."

Feng Wuji's heart stiffened up further. All of a sudden, he raised his brow and said with a smile, "Clan Master Xia of the North Barren has arrived! Although the Zhong Shan Clan boy destroyed clan Master Xia's teleportation porta, that doesn't detract off his earnest efforts in helping the Kun Peng Celestial Race. The Zhong Li Celestial Race are also nemeses against the dragon race. And the Kun Peng Celestial Race wants to take down the dragon race. The Zhong Li Celestial Race will then make a good ally. Mister Kun Da, are you interested in following me to welcome him?"

Mister Kun Da stood up and then replied in his usual calm tone, "Of course."

They then walked out from the Xiao Mang Celestial Temple and gazed into the sky. There was a warship flying overhead, and Clan Master Xia, as well as a few Zhong Li magnates, could be seen standing erect like spears on the deck. The ship slowly alighted to the ground, and Feng Wuji led the crowd over as he eagerly welcomed the Zhong Li Celestial Race, "This is indeed an auspicious day, perfect weather and just the right time for the three races to form an alliance."

Clan Master Xia walked down from the ship and replied with a smile, "Ah, the Kun Peng Celestial Race has finally arrived! What a shame we have yet to capture the little Zhong Shan rascal that destroyed our teleportation portal. Otherwise, his head would have made a suitable memento of our alliance!"

Mister Kun Da then asked puzzlement, "Just a mere human, is there really a need to do so? Is he that valuable at all?"

Two Martial Heavenly Masters then walked down from the ship, and their eyes seemed to be burning with hateful fires. They heard Mister Kun Da's question, and one of them gave a cold sneer, he answered, "His death is the only reason for which I live in this world!"

Mister Kun Da Looked over, and the two Martial Heavenly Masters severed of their arms and legs, joining their limbs with the limbs of the other creatures. He thought in shock, Their limbs … were they severed by that Zhong Shan boy? Is that why they're so angry at him? The Martial Heavenly Masters are not weak. For this Zhong Shan Clan boy to be able to do this to them ... it seems the claims about him aren't without merit.

These two Martial Heavenly Masters were none other than Xia Zhongjin and Xia Zhongguang. However, it wasn't Zhong Yue who severed their limbs, but the Bai Zhe Clan. The Bai Zhe Clan had captured them in the North Barren and forcibly dismembered them before sending them back to the South Barren. This was no more than a statement to express the Bai Zhe Clan's displeasure at them having injured Bai Zhenbei.

Although the Martial Heavenly Masters were adept at the arts of the mortal body, their bodies still had limitations. It was impossible for them to regrow their severed limbs; they could only replace them with the monster race's spare parts. The Zhong Li Celestial Race bought two monster Qi Practitioners and took their limbs to replace the two Martial Heavenly Masters' lost ones.

However, the monster race was not the celestial race, nor were inherently gifted with mortal bodies that were strong enough to compare with the Martial Heavenly Masters. Despite the two Martial Heavenly Masters cultivating with all their might these few years, their new limbs never reached returned to their former peak strength, especially when in the state of the [Atman Body as One], their impaired mortal bodies had greatly affected their prowesses. At this point, only half of their original strength remained.

And the impetus of all their misfortune was Zhong Yue. It came as no surprise that Xia Zhongjin and Xia Zhongguang harbor an irreconcilable hatred for Zhong Yue that seeped into their bones.

Feng Wuji stepped forward and introduced the two parties, and they all proceed to greet one another.

Mister Kun Da gave a gentle smile, and he said, "Clan Master Xia, I have two magnates now hunting for the Zhong Shan Clan boy. It will not be long before your two brothers can exact their revenge."
