Chapter 244 - One Hundred Years (1/2)
Chapter 244 One Hundred YearsAs time went by, one hundred years passed quickly.
After the war, Chaotic World was on the threshold of an unprecedented flourishing age.
The invasion of the Nether Big World made more and more forces realize that, in the face of a large-scale war, even if they were the realm’s leaders, they could not avoid being completely destroyed.
Therefore, forming an alliance and sharing resources became the first choice of many great forces after the war.
In the past 100 years, cooperation among major forces had gradually evolved from a strong alliance of several forces in the same realm to a cross-realm alliance, causing large groups like Immortal Allies to spring up like bamboo shoots.
This series of changes also changed the original layout of the major forces.
Take Wufang Territory for example. After the Sword Character Immortal Palace and the Xuan Nyu Sect announced a merger, Evil Blood Palace disappeared. The Blood Divine Sect had cooperated with the three main sects of Sishui Country in the form of a semi-merger and semi-alliance, and the new group named Sishui Sect was led by the Blood Divine Sect and supported by the three main sects. With these joint efforts, the four forces had transformed Sishui Country into the prototype of a super sect.
As earthshaking changes were taking place outside, those who were in the Evil Blood Palace also drew a successful conclusion to their temporary cultivation.
Zhu Yu, Zheng Xuan, Yang Ying, Wu Yingzhao and Bloodthirsty Shura, whose cultivation had originally been above the level of an Almighty Immortal, had enjoyed a year free from the Law of Heaven and gotten promoted by at least one level.
Generally speaking, it was difficult for cultivators at their level to advance in one hundred years, or even several hundred years, except for geniuses like Dreamless Heavenly Lord and Zhu Yu. Luckily, there was such a genius in their team.
With the help of the Million-Spirits Blood Pearl, Zhu Yu had stepped into the threshold of the late-stage Supreme Master, which took him only 10 years after they entered the Evil Blood Palace. In order to help his fellows, Zhu Yu lent the Million-Spirits Blood Pearl to them after his advancement.
After all, it was particularly difficult to advance at the level of Tao Master, which depended not only on hard cultivation but also on opportunities. For such cultivators, 100 years was not very long.
Thanks to their good natural endowment, the rest of the people took turns to use the Million-Spirits Blood Pearl and they all advanced by exactly one level.
Among these people, Zheng Xuan’s advancement was the easiest, for her cultivation was already at the level of God Ancestor, and she would surely reach the Peak of Supreme Master level in the Evil Blood Palace.
Finally, Zhu Yu reached the late-stage Supreme Master level, Yang Ying reached the late-stage Heavenly Master level, Zheng Xuan reached the Peak Supreme Master level, Wu Yingzhao reached the early-stage Heavenly Master, and Bloodthirsty Shura reached the early-stage Heavenly Master.
This was just their basic cultivation, so they might temporarily advance by several levels with the help of some treasures and cultivation methods. Wherever they went, nobody dared to provoke this group of cultivators as long as they were in the middle-level world.
It was time for the 100-year agreement to be fulfilled. When Lyu Liang’s friends finished their closed door meditation one after another, they gathered together at Lyu Liang’s door.
Nie Qingyun had been advancing from the Peak Almighty Immortal to the middle-stage Tao Master at a breathless pace, but no one knew what he had done. Maybe the Dragon-Teeth Dagger flashing in his hand had something to do with his cultivation.
The Tiger-Head Dagger was cut in two by Little Sword before his closed-door meditation in the Evil Blood Palace. Nie Qingyun had never found a suitable weapon ever since.
He owned a Divine-Blade body, so he was destined to use a high-level long knife all his life. There was no magic treasure other than a knife that could enable him to truly exert his strength.
Finally, Zhu Yu sent Nie Qingyun the Dragon-Teeth Dagger, which was merely an array material that Zhu Yu might never put into use. It was Nie Qingyun who could make the most of this long knife.
Nie Qingyun, who was moved to tears, swore that he would protect the knife with his life.
While facing the others’ doubts, Zhu Yu laughed loudly and replied in a soft voice, “It might be predetermined by fate. I felt familiar with the boy the first time I saw him.”
Half a year later, Fatty came back in a dazzling way and was mistaken by most of his fellows for the Fierce Chaotic Emperor. Fatty’s body shape had changed completely, and dark red flames of hellfire were surrounding the giant.
Suddenly, everyone looked in the direction of Lyu Liang’s abode curiously. Often, tremendous explosions came from inside the abode, and people in the area could feel a slight swaying motion, which made curious people very eager to go in.
Finally, one night a hundred and twenty years later, a deafening roar was heard along with the sound of a sword. Then, a dazzling golden-and-green light penetrated the dense restriction formation and rushed out, directly making a hole in the Evil Blood Palace…
Amid the continuous terrible roars and explosions, the founding father of Sword Character and other seniors arrived in time. Without hesitation, they activated the reserved restriction formation of the Evil Blood Palace, using a unique skill to prevent it from being destroyed.
Everyone was stunned when Lyu liang appeared in ragged clothes. They found no trace of confidence and joy on his black-blue face. Before greeting his friends after such a long time, Lyu Liang spat out a mouthful of blood…
“Master!” Nie Qingyun rushed more quickly than Yang Ying, who was still on the way, to catch Lyu Liang. While holding Lyu Liang in his arms, Nie Qingyun could not help exclaiming.
“I’m fine. It’s just several broken ribs, a slightly wounded Divine Soul, and a dozen sword injuries, which will heal up with the help of Tianxuan Holy Rattan in a few days. Don’t worry about me.” Though Lyu Liang acted as if nothing had happened, the others were still a little frightened.
They could not imagine how a super cultivator who owned a whole Divine Body and the Tianxuan Holy Rattan could be beaten to this state, which might not even be the worst case according to his explanation. How had Lyu Liang cultivated in the past over 100 years?
It was hard to judge Lyu Liang’s cultivation, for they found no aura in him sometimes. However, sometimes his aura, even though it was still in the form of Devil Immortal Qi, was weird and chaotic. Meanwhile, Lyu Liang had been emitting yin qi since he had appeared.
