Chapter 1124: Human Tribulation (2/2)
Since Jin Gushen was much closer to Lu Yun than everyone else, he picked up on it soon enough, but didn’t comment on it. His brotherhood with Lu Yun’s replica ran twenty years deep, he knew what kind of person his brother was.
What suddenly changed his expression drastically was—
“You just gifted me the method beyond the chaos?! Won’t the Inception monarch punish you for this??” he transmitted hastily into Lu Yun’s mind. “You know that I won’t join Inception Palace no matter what! When my cultivation reaches that level, I’m going to seal it away and seclude myself to death!”
A stroke more vicious than any he’d encountered so far was his only answer. The level of Lu Yun’s attacks had shockingly risen yet another level!
Unbidden, Jin Gushen started operating his newly obtained method in order to contend with Lu Yun. It was the only way to stay in the fight.
However, the method was incredibly esoteric and hard to understand. Any other eternal overlord wouldn’t have possibly understood it within a short period of time.
Jin Gushen happened to be the greatest genius among all nine divine sects. His powers of comprehension and potential were mind bogglingly incredible. If he’d been born in the sacred palace, he would’ve become a sovereign long ago.
The method beyond the chaos only needed to circulate his body thirty-six times before he fully grasped it, and his strength increased explosively roughly a hundred breaths later. Having shifted to the back foot, he was able to seize the initiative once again.
“The nine divine sects aren’t a benevolent place. You don’t have to join the sacred palaces, but you must leave the sects. You won’t meet with a good end otherwise.” Lu Yun’s voice sounded in Jin Gushen’s mind.
“Okay.” The genius nodded subconsciously, but his moves continued at a furious pace.
……
In an unknown patch of space in the chaos, Qing Yu sat cross-legged on the Dao Flower. Rays of immortal light formed in the air and coalesced into a snowy path beside her. It circled around her and integrated itself into the greater picture of the chaos.
She was currently a member of the Creation sacred clan instead of a dao sovereign of the immortal dao. She communed with all life through the order of creation and sat beneath the Dao Flower to assimilate the immortal dao into everything.
What she didn’t realize was that a faceless man in black clothing had appeared behind her at some point in time. He exuded dark fire and wielded a dagger dripping with blood. He slowly approached her back and viciously stabbed downward at her heart.
Humm.
Emerald green light blossomed from Qing Yu’s body and rebuffed the assassination attempt. Qiu Luoyu came walking out of nothingness with a grim look. He was a sovereign now, having fully refined the creation seed and the reflection beyond the chaos that Lu Yun had gifted him.
Two eyeballs suddenly grew in the man’s face, just like the two eyes that’d once appeared over Lu Yun’s tribulation.
“Lu Yun’s touched something he shouldn’t have and all practitioners of the Dragonquake Scripture are struck with misfortune. Would he not be prepared for this?” Qiu Luoyu smiled faintly at the faceless man.
He’d naturally joined the sacred palaces after departing from the tomb. The creation seed on him was a product of the third realm to begin with, so he wasn’t afraid of the faceless man in the slightest.
