Endless Celestial Suspension is forced to abandon his plans for revenge against Tian Wuxin due to the new threat of the Immortal Sect. He agrees to wait and observe the situation, while Prince Longyang plots with the Immortal Sect to become the new king of You Country. Meanwhile, Tian Wuxin is furious with Yao Ri for leaving Ancestor Mountain, fearing the consequences for their kingdom.

“Give me one more quarter of an hour!”

Yao Ri looked down from above at the capital city that had already been reduced completely to ruins, trying to find Ji’s severed arm and broken remains.

Tian Wuxin said angrily, “What are you going to do now?”

“I’m taking my son’s remains back to Ancestor Mountain to bury them. As his father, I can’t let him lie exposed in this desolate ruin.”

“You…”

Tian Wuxin wanted to speak but stopped, his whole body trembling with fury, then turned without a backward glance, transforming into a streak of startling rainbow light and plunging into the Qu Realm toward Ancestor Mountain.

Watching Tian Wuxin’s figure already vanish, Yao Ri let out a soft sigh, a trace of desolation and unwillingness showing in his eyes.

Suddenly.

He snapped his gaze toward the Primordial Yang Domain.

He spoke through gritted teeth!

“Immortal Sect, sooner or later you will pay the price. From today on, as long as anyone from your Immortal Sect dares step out of the Primordial Yang Domain, I’ll kill them!”

No matter how powerful the foundation behind your Immortal Sect is, so what? Could it be that every single person in the Sect is at the Half-Step Primordial Vast Realm?

An hour later.

Yao Ri buried the portion of remains he had collected halfway up Ancestor Mountain, then immediately came to a black stone pillar at the summit of the mountain.

The stone pillar was thick at the bottom and thin at the top, soaring straight into the sky, like a sky-splitting stone sword rising from the earth and piercing the firmament.

At this moment in front of the black stone pillar, Tian Wuxin stood within a circle covered in Dragon Wall Text. Vast Vein Qi and strands of Primordial Vast Power continuously surged from his body, all of them pouring into the black stone pillar, causing black halos to keep bursting from its top.

Those black halos kept spreading across the sky. After they got far from Ancestor Mountain, they grew fainter and fainter, finally turning into something as invisible as light and vanishing on the other side of the heavens.

As he did all this, Tian Wuxin stared fixedly at the sky above Ancestor Mountain, wary of any slightest movement above. For a long time, there was no change.

Only when the hurried Yao Ri also sent his own Vein Qi and Primordial Vast Power into the black stone pillar did Tian Wuxin stop his previous actions.

Then Tian Wuxin exhaled heavily, the tension on his face gradually fading. “The sky showed no abnormal signs, which means that band of madmen haven’t discovered Heaven-Gazing Gorge.”

As soon as he finished, Tian Wuxin said angrily again, “All these years you’ve enjoyed the Primordial Vast Power that the Black Tower supplied you, yet this old man never once had you guard the Black Tower. This time I let you watch over it for just a few days and you left on your own! If you’d stayed away any longer, then today not only your son would have died—both you and I would be dead too!”

“Unlike you, I don’t have a clan. I only had that one relative.” Yao Ri replied calmly, as if he didn’t feel he’d done anything wrong, and as if he didn’t care about Tian Wuxin’s anger at all. “Once those two fellows come back, I’ll leave Ancestor Mountain.”

Tian Wuxin roared, “What else do you plan to do?”

“Kill. Kill every last person of the Immortal Sect one by one. No matter how strong that Half-Step Primordial Vast behind the Immortal Sect is, can he possibly protect every single person? I’ll keep killing until not a soul in the entire Immortal Sect dares leave the Sect!”

“Just you?”

“I’ve already refined fifty-seven strands of Primordial Vast Power, far surpassing Celestial Radiance Transformation! As long as I don’t go into the Red Domain, what can the Immortal Sect do to me?”

“Ridiculous. Celestial Radiance Transformation has long since refined as many as seventy-seven strands of Primordial Vast Power. You think that Celestial Ranking position he has in the Immortal Sect is just empty reputation? Someone as strong as Celestial Radiance Transformation didn’t even have the chance to escape from the hands of the one behind the Immortal Sect, and you, with just you? Do you think his feet are planted in the Immortal Sect and can’t move?”

“He refined…”

Yao Ri was struck speechless.

Sixty years ago, he and Celestial Radiance Transformation had clearly been the same.

Both had only refined thirty-four strands.

He had always assumed Celestial Radiance Transformation had refined at most another ten strands over these decades, but he hadn’t expected that he had refined as many as seventy-seven.

Every ten strands of Primordial Vast Power refined is basically a watershed, so the gap between him and Celestial Radiance Transformation was enormous.

Yet he had actually…

“Otherwise, what do you think Nalan Muhong retreated for today? Do you think she was afraid of you detonating the Primordial Vast Power in your body, or that she suddenly grew merciful and didn’t want to exterminate you and me completely? She’s wary of the Immortal Sect! You’ve lived over three hundred years and you’re still this naive!”

After scolding him, Tian Wuxin couldn’t even be bothered to say more. “Once the two of them come back, do whatever you like, this old man won’t interfere! This old man has already made his decision: three days from now I’ll open peace talks with the Immortal Sect, and from then on we’ll keep to our own sides of the river!”

“Peace talks?!”

“That’s right, peace talks. The strength the Immortal Sect has displayed so far is at least equal to mine. Nalan Muhong’s retreat today wasn’t because she suddenly grew compassionate; she also fears the Immortal Sect’s power, so she wants me to go to the Immortal Sect and fight them to the death.”

“The Royal Family’s blood feud, you say you’re just going to let it go? Do you know how many died today? Go ask those dead royals whether they would agree to peace talks!” Yao Ri shouted angrily, furious at Tian Wuxin’s decision.

Tian Wuxin replied coldly, “As long as this old man lives, the You Country Royal Family lives! I’m not about to let Nalan Muhong use me as a weapon, nor am I going to gamble with my own life. As for the blood feud—if the peace talks succeed, someone will avenge us.”

“Who?”

“Nalan Muhong!”

“How could she possibly…”

“Because once the news that I’m entering peace talks with the Immortal Sect gets out, Nalan Muhong will have no choice. She’ll have to avenge us!”

“What if the Immortal Sect doesn’t want peace talks?”

“As long as the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect isn’t stupid, he won’t refuse this old man’s peace talks. Nalan Muhong of the Sky-Shrouding Tower is far stronger than this old man! Enough, I won’t waste more words. Are you going to keep mindlessly pursuing revenge, or listen to this old man?”

Yao Ri didn’t hesitate. “My son’s blood debt, I will avenge personally! I don’t believe that the powerhouse behind the Immortal Sect dares leave the Immortal Sect to hunt me down! And if he really comes out, I don’t believe you and the people of the Sky-Shrouding Tower can just sit on your hands.”

“Utterly foolish. You’ve cultivated for several hundred years and you’re still shackled by kinship. With you like this, no wonder you’re inferior to Celestial Radiance Transformation!” Tian Wuxin gave him a cold, disappointed look, then sat down cross-legged in silence and began to heal his injuries.

The two said nothing more.

Until the night passed.

At dawn the next day, Tian Wuxin slowly opened his eyes and glanced around. Seeing there was still only Yao Ri there, his brows couldn’t help but knit.

“Those two bastards, what on earth are they doing?”

…

Immortal Sect.

Tingyu Pavilion.

After a night of refining Primordial Vast Power, Wen Ping stopped at daybreak, then rose and walked out of Tingyu Pavilion to gaze at the Immortal Sect’s scenery.

After a few silent breaths, Wen Ping took out an Incubation Egg, deliberating over whether this time he should put all three existing Demon Lord corpses inside, or keep one back.

“System, can you run a bloodline evaluation for me? I want to know who’s stronger, and who’s weaker.”

The system responded, “I can!”

As it spoke, the system immediately ran an evaluation and analysis on the S-level bloodlines in Demon Emperor Lake, as well as the Demon Lord corpses in Wen Ping’s hands.

The results were more or less what Wen Ping had expected.

The first was a Celestial Demon Bloodline, which the Demon Lord Tikong had dredged up from the Underworld beneath the Chaotic Wind Divine Domain in order to survive.

The second and third were the You Country’s National Guardian Celestial Generals: the Heaven-Supporting Cyan Ox and the Thousand-Eyed Red Spider.

The system evaluated the bloodlines of all three as roughly similar: the Celestial Demon Bloodline was the best, followed by the Heaven-Supporting Cyan Ox, and then the Thousand-Eyed Red Spider.

However, even the best Celestial Demon Bloodline still couldn’t compare to the S-level bloodline Wen Ping had drawn with Reputation Flowers.

Only now did Wen Ping realize just how worthwhile that Reputation spending had been!

“Then let’s put all three into the Incubation Egg together. I won’t ask for a bloodline rivaling a Cyan Dragon; as long as it’s not too much weaker than Huaikong and the others, that’ll do.”

When the Demon Lord hatches, I’ll hand it over to Jin Zhi Lou and let it be Jin Zhi Lou’s enforcer. That way I can spare myself the trouble of making moves personally.

As long as Nalan Muhong doesn’t act, I only need to watch over the Purple Treasure Pavilion. I don’t have to rack my brains on how to kill Nalan Muhong.

To be honest, it’s really not easy if I truly wanted to kill Nalan Muhong.

Because it’s obvious without even thinking about it—these people definitely won’t go anywhere near the Red Domain anymore, and they won’t even approach the Primordial Yang Domain.
