Today you awaken a True Being to annihilate my sect, tomorrow I dare to awaken a True Monarch to suppress your spiritual lineage.
In an environment of enmity and mutual suspicion, the entire cultivation world would fall into chaos, with all order disappearing.
More than six thousand years ago, after the first period of Spirit Energy depletion, major sects had caused powerhouses hidden among the grotto heavens sacred ground to eliminate sects due to their overt and covert conflicts.
The annihilated sects also had blessed lands, but they could not save their sects.
The bottom line is that it’s not easy for a cultivator from the grotto heavens sacred ground to descend to the mortal world; it requires the completion of several complex rituals.
The time spent on this is enough for the True Beings of other sects to raze the entire sect to the ground.
Everyone in the cultivation world is in fear for their own safety, and no one knows if their sect will be the next one targeted. The chain of suspicion continues to spread among the major sects.
But powerful entities in the True Being Realm cannot stay in the mortal world for long to ensure the sect’s safety. Finally, the chain of suspicion explodes, as major sects ignore consequences and use their roots to wage war on each other. Within a short hundred years, over twenty blessed lands collapsed and five grotto heavens crumbled.
From that chaotic battle, the once powerful Human Emperor Dynasty fell into a decline, and a large number of sects were unable to recover.
It was due to the disorder caused by that chaos over six thousand years ago that all major sects hated the act of forcing powerhouses in the grotto heavens sacred ground to take action in sect meetings.
That resentment stirred the dissatisfaction of Sunn Lanyu, who haughtily berated the major sects in the Primal Chaos Tower:
“Mingquan Turtle Minister is the Great Elder of our River Ji Sect—if you have the capability to call forth Spirit Transmute powerhouses, do it! If you don’t, then shut up!”
“The leadership of the meeting today will inevitably be ours; after the matter here is over, I will have to settle accounts with someone in the Primal Chaos Tower.
Before that, I hope you all refrain from making radical moves, so as to not upset Mingquan Turtle Minister.”
Sunn Lanyu’s naked threats were clear for all to see.
He no longer cared for the grotto-heaven sacred ground represented by the major sects, as he knew that the huge cost was based on finding Falling Clouds and retrieving the clues for the River Ji Dragon Seal.
If he could not get hold of the clue to the River Ji Dragon Seal, the first one who would want him dead would be River Ji Dragon Sovereign.
With today’s battle, it is already an all-out gamble, and there’s no need to worry about the Great Xia or the sects anymore.
Behind Sunn Lanyu, the Aquatic Tribe surged forward like a tide, guiding the water towards the Primal Chaos Tower. Tens of thousands of the Aquatic Tribe surrounded the Primal Chaos Tower.
The major sects were filled with anger, but the suppression from Mingquan Turtle Minister and the countless Aquatic Tribe left them with little room to resist.
“Bastard!”
“Sunn Lanyu, how dare you!”
“Wait till I get back to the mountain to inform the teaching elder brother, we will make your Sunn Family give an explanation!”
Sunn Lanyu sneered at the threats made by the cultivators of the major sects.
All the Qi giants of the Cultivation Conference were on that platform, and with Mingquan Turtle Minister holding firm, there was no need for Sunn Lanyu to fear the cultivators in the Primal Chaos Tower.
The only person Sunn Lanyu couldn’t figure out was the master in Gong Buyu’s mouth.
However, in Sunn Lanyu’s view, this River Ji is the main stage of the Aquatic Tribe, and any force behind them, no matter how strong, would need to endure the backlash of the heaven and earth rules, and couldn’t cause any real turmoil.
Then the rudderless Primal Chaos Tower began to tremble, swaying constantly under the waves guided by the Aquatic Tribe.
The major sects had also not expected that a Cultivation Conference, a grand event for the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to vie with each other for speaking rights, would actually turn into such a situation.
For a while, everyone in the Primal Chaos Tower was apprehensive.
Shen Yuan still stood before the window, looking at the huge demon carrying a mountain in the distance, his face expressionless.
The appearance of Mingquan Turtle Minister, a Spirit Transmuter who had lived for three thousand years, was indeed beyond Shen Yuan’s expectations, but everything was still within control.
During the three thousand years of Spirit Energy depletion, Mingquan Turtle Minister retreated into the River Ji Dragon Palace grotto heavens, without any spare Spirit energy for his cultivation. Hence, Mingquan Turtle Minister’s cultivation still remained at the Middle Stage of Spirit Transmutation, only becoming more profound in terms of fundamentals and divine skills.
He slowly raised his right hand, his index finger gently drawing across the void. Far away, the Darkness-Light Sword constantly emitted a soft hum.
Facing Mingquan Turtle Minister’s angry questioning, the corners of Shen Yuan’s mouth couldn’t help but form a slight curve.
“Bury you? Do you think you’re worthy?”
As his words fell, the furious Mingquan Turtle Minister’s massive claw, covered in intimidating scales, lifted out of the river water. It bore the immense pressure of total darkness as it smashed towards the entire iceberg.
Without any reservation, the transformed god-like demon seemed determined to kill Gong Buyu and the six strong cultivators in the ice mountain.
“Zing!”
The concealed Yin God thought within the Darkness-Light Sword was triggered in an instant.
Shen Yuan’s Yin God infused into the flying sword, resulting in a dazzling white light that shot straight towards the sky, as if the entire sky was torn apart by this fierce sword light that was difficult to perceive with naked eyes.
In an instant, the huge scale claw of the transformed god-like demon was effortlessly severed. The sturdy scales and the demon’s flesh did not have any chance of resistance – its scattered blood was instantly wiped out by the residual sword light, leaving the immense reptilian claw to plunge into the cold river.
This was the first time Shen Yuan used the Primordial Spirit Sword Control method in actual combat after achieving his Yin God form. The power displayed by his Earth Fiend Sword Art, which had reached peak stage, in conjunction to his complete Primordial Spirit, greatly exceeded Shen Yuan’s expectations.
Even if a sword cultivator, who was also at the Spirit Transmutation stage, was to execute the typical Primordial Spirit Sword Control method, it would still be considered an extremely deadly move. Not to mention when the Earth Fiend Sword Art, the source of various sword techniques, was executed by Shen Yuan?
The turtle claw severed easily by the sword light, the silver momentum remained unabated, targeting the head of the Mingquan Turtle Minister.
The Mingquan Turtle Minister’s eyes instantly turned blood-red, and a sky-shaking roar erupted from his tyrannical mouth:
“Tidal Wave.”
Continual waves rose above river’s surface, creating a surging storm in an attempt to drag the silver-white sword light into the river.
However, the Primordial Spirit Sword Control method, as an extremely aggressive technique, rendered any defense useless. It easily broke through the kilometer-long waves and was instantly approaching the Mingquan Turtle Minister.
But at that moment, a cruel smile appeared on the gruesome face of the Mingquan Turtle Minister.
“You fell for it!”
As he spoke, a golden Dragon Palace Edict was expelled from his mouth.
“All objects belonging to River Ji heed my command!”
In an instant, an ancient dragon chant seemed to emanate from the golden Dragon Palace Edict, and the River Ji began to boil violently.
Above the sky, vast gathering clouds rapidly blocked the sunlight, fierce wind arose creating a storm, accelerated gathering of river forces onto the Mingquan Turtle Minister concentrated his body, the mountain on the turtle shell seemed to become a real mountain.
“Natural Divine Power·Suppression Peak!”
The invisible shadow of the mountain enveloped the Mingquan Turtle Minister. With the blessing of the power from River Ji, this transformed god-like demon turned into an indestructible ancient mountain, allowing for the Darkness-Light Sword to strike on it.
That unstoppable silver-white sword light finally came to a halt at this moment, revealing the rusty Bronze Ancient Sword.
Mingquan Turtle Minister’s pupils trembled, and he revealed a thrilled look on his face, shouting:
“Finally caught you, die!”
As he spoke, his brutal mouth opened wide, sharp teeth seemed to completely tear apart the Darkness-Light Sword.
On Primal Chaos Tower, Shen Yuan finally showed a hint of surprise on his face witnessing the enhanced power of the Mingquan Turtle Minister granted by River Ji.
His gaze suddenly became incredibly deep, Shen Yuan slowly whispered:
“If that’s the case, I’ll use you to test the results of my recent union of the sword and Elemental Qi.”
Just as the Mingquan Turtle Minister was about to swallow the Darkness-Light Sword, the Darkness-Light Sword suddenly disappeared.
Before the Mingquan Turtle Minister could understand what happened, the clouded sky seemed to have swallowed all light, plunging the river surface into darkness.
In the profound darkness, a glimmer of light flashed from the eyes of the Candle Dragon inscription on the guard of the Darkness-Light Sword, as if an ancient divine dragon had opened its eyes.
Day and Night Alternation!
A golden light tore through the darkness, like the brilliant sun falling from the sky, bearing down on the transformed god-like demon who was carrying the mountain with an irresistible force.
Fear finally appeared in the Mingquan Turtle Minister’s eyes, as he realized the entity he was facing.
“Spar...”
Before he could finish his words, the simulation of the mountain he was carrying collapsed under the power of the Great Sun, the vast water curtain evaporated in the scorching sun, the fire penetrating into the soul burned the last bit of Yin God, and the huge body was reduced to an empty shell in an instant.
