However, this time his stakeout went awry; he inadvertently discovered that the aura across the passage was amiss, clashing with the followers of the Demon Buddha Poxun who intended to invade the Five Realms.
Both sides were “earthworking,” and as a result, they both rushed toward each other.
Thus, in a flash of brilliance, the Heavenly Master, an old ascender, decisively burned his Divine Soul, timely setting up a formation far beyond his own capabilities, forcibly severing the passage in the middle, collapsing the section he was standing on, and completely concealing himself.
The followers of Poxun were naturally furious and immediately surrounded the great formation evolved by the Heavenly Master, determined to find and kill this Human Realm cultivator.
Having received no news from the Heavenly Master for a long time, Yuan Jun rushed to his aid through special means, teleporting to the Heavenly Master’s side and barely managed to rescue him who was on the verge of burning himself out.
“Hey, Xiao Lang, don’t blame the Heavenly Master; he tried his best.
If it weren’t for him shattering the space passage behind to prevent Poxun from obtaining the coordinates to the Human Realm, with his cultivation and many secret treasures, he could have escaped.”
Gazing at the silver-haired elder sleeping in the Crystal Coffin, Yuan Jun’s eyes flickered with a touch of sorrow.
No one understood better than she the quirks of an individual; the Heavenly Master might not excel in fighting, but his ability to flee far surpassed his peers, and in matters of space and fate, he was the strongest in the Human Realm she had ever seen.
Take Ying Si, for example; if the Heavenly Master didn’t want to see him, with Great Qin’s capabilities, he wouldn’t even see the tail light of the Heavenly Master.
This was the confidence of the Freewill Heavenly Master; he had once told Yi Chen that even if heaven and earth underwent cataclysmic changes and the grand situation collapsed, their Freewill Heaven would still have a way out—it wasn’t just empty talk.
One could say the Heavenly Master had spent his whole life contemplating how to escape and how to do it better.
“The Heavenly Master’s injuries need some spirit materials; Yuan Jun, just give me a heads up,” said Yi Chen, sighing slightly as he looked at the silver-haired elder in the Crystal Coffin. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Actually, he quite understood people like the Heavenly Master, or perhaps his past life fundamentally shared some common traits with the Heavenly Master.
In modern terms, the Heavenly Master was the kind who wouldn’t try to save a falling nation but would choose to make a living in Nanyang.
However, he would never be a traitor, secretly conspiring with the Great Monarch.
“Xiao Lang, the Heavenly Master is very wealthy.
His Storage Ring lacks nothing.
With the Crystal Jade Soul-Nurturing Coffin’s help, after sleeping for over a hundred years, he will naturally recover, and then he can be dealt with.”
“Yuan Jun arrived too late, and the Heavenly Master’s Divine Soul suffered significant damage.
It’s untreatable, and now all we can do is slowly manage the situation,” Yuan Jun said with some irritation, scratching her full head of pink hair.
Above her head, a stubborn pink cowlick pointed straight to the sky.
Hearing that the Heavenly Master’s life was not in danger, Yi Chen felt there was nothing more to ask.
After all, compared to saving people, he, as Yi Chengzi, was more skilled in sending others off.
He certainly had talent for managing both the sad and happy occasions, but this field had too low a ceiling—he simply preferred not to intervene.
If Ying Si were to pass away one day, with the status of the Millennium Emperor, he, Yi Chengzi, could certainly oversee it.
“It’s good that the passage collapsed.
Delaying it for even a moment counts in tumultuous times,” Yi Chen mused to himself as he poured a drink and downed it in one gulp.
Meeting Yuan Jun again in the Demon Realm certainly brought joy.
But the news brought by Yuan Jun still troubled him.
The world was like a giant boomerang; no one could escape the boomerang’s hit.
Damn, recalling the past, his favorite saying as Yi Chengzi used to be: when the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it.
But if he wasn’t wrong, he was now one of the “tall ones” in the Five Realms.
If the sky really did fall, he, Yi Chengzi, would definitely be one of the first to be crushed.
What a dog’s life.
“It’s all because you guys didn’t try hard enough.”
“If you all were as diligent as me, Yi Chengzi, you should be worrying about the invaders from beyond now!”
Yi Chen inwardly grumbled, pondering the impact of the Poxun issue on future situations.
Perhaps noticing Yi Chen’s concern, Yuan Jun awkwardly looked up and suddenly spoke up, “Xiao Lang, Yuan Jun has two pieces of news, one good and one bad.
Which would you like to hear first?”
“Ah…
let’s hear the bad news first,” Yi Chen recalled the eerie swastika-shaped flames and the strange light that reached the sky when he last killed Poxun’s followers, feeling a rising sense of foreboding.
“Er, the bad news…
although the Heavenly Master blew up the passage to the Human Realm, Yuan Jun had no choice but to escape, so she had to use the Ancient Treasure Yuan Chen Divine Lamp to open a passage linked to the Yuan Chen Divine Lamp in Xiao Lang’s hands.”
“You might have guessed, that entity claiming to be Safro turned into that eerie swastika-shaped blood.”
“If Yuan Jun is not wrong, it’s very likely a path marker, indicating that the unfinished passage of Poxun’s followers will eventually lead here.”
Yi Chen: “…,” Murphie’s Law was still chasing them.
“Ha-ha, Xiao Lang, do not panic, this isn’t the Demon Realm…” At this moment, Yuan Jun, behind her Peach Blossom Mask, couldn’t help but burst into an arrogant laughter.
She chuckled twice and then suddenly remembered something was not right.
It seemed that this place had turned into Xiao Lang’s territory.
Um…
Watching Yi Chen’s face that gradually turned into that of a puppy’s, Yuan Jun quickly spoke up to comfort,
“Xiao Lang, don’t panic, Yuan Jun has good news.”
“Even if that passage is opened, it should not allow very powerful evil creatures to pass through, and we still have a chance.”
“Moreover, Xiao Lang, let Yuan Jun tell you a secret.”
“Don’t look at how your cultivation has now surpassed Yuan Jun, but you do not understand Yuan Jun.”
“Once I return to the Human Realm, with Yuan Jun’s astonishing wisdom, I only need to make a slight move, and you will be able to feel Yuan Jun’s strength.”
“Hehe, three years ago when you were still messing around in the Hehuan Sect, Yuan Jun made a bet with you.
If after one hundred years you could surpass Yuan Jun, Yuan Jun would grant you any request, any request at all~”
“Yuan Jun knows you, Xiao Lang, as a grudge-holder, since Yuan Jun touched you a few times before, don’t say Yuan Jun never gave you a chance.”
“I, Doumu Origin Lord, never default on my promises, and this is widely acknowledged in the Human Realm!”
Thinking of the several secret treasures she had hidden in the void and not yet retrieved, Yuan Jun’s head held high, her jade hands continuously patted her chest in assurance.
Had it been before awakening the phenomenal Void Spirit Immortal Art and knowing the nine secret treasures, Yuan Jun would not dare to utter such lofty words, but now, Yuan Jun was fearless.
It was a kind of confidence~
Confidence that made Yi Chen’s eyes feel dizzy~
Hearing the solid thud coming to his ears, the Great Qin State Master, Yi Chengzi, couldn’t help feeling a bit thirsty and parched.
He almost let out the vulgar phrase ‘Decide a winner and give birth to children.’
“Stop patting, stop patting, I know of Yuan Jun’s spirit, women can be as courageous as men.”
“But if Yuan Jun is not afraid, I, too, am unafraid.”
“Come, Yuan Jun, look here.
Today, let’s make it official in front of the Liuying Jade, and after ninety-seven years let us exchange pointers.”
Yi Chen immediately stood up and gave Yuan Jun a thumbs up in praise.
“Xiao Lang, being young and energetic is good, but you are still too young to know that every gift from destiny is secretly priced.”
“You don’t understand Yuan Jun’s astonishing wisdom; wherever I intend to go, the path lies under my feet.
Even though now your cultivation has exceeded Yuan Jun’s expectations, but at this point, even if you’re a reincarnation of a Dao Ancestor or a rebirth of the Human Emperor, in the remaining ninety-seven years, you won’t be able to surpass Yuan Jun.”
Yuan Jun was entirely unconcerned about Yi Chen sneakily pulling out the Liuying Jade, she even very generously made an official record showcasing her integrity.
For a moment, both of them exhibited smiles like that of cunning foxes.
…
…
Two days later.
Dragon Tomb.
Within the Void Space, the figure that had been motionless, suddenly heard a shattering sound like glass breaking in the heart lake of the Eastern Pole Demon Lord, and he slowly opened his eyes.
A burst of wild laughter suddenly echoed through the void.
“Ha ha ha!”
“I am the Eastern Pole Demon Emperor, destined to suppress all enemies in the world.”
