Chapter 1199: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Guiyuan Sect

Chapter 1199: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Guiyuan Sect (Third Update)

Pale golden light radiated from the body of the Mosquito Beast, enveloping the surroundings. Under the pervasive pressure, the thousands of Mosquito Beasts nearby witnessed the birth of their new King with their own eyes!

Those crimson Mosquito Beasts were the first to submit; at this moment, their expressions were filled with reverence, and they let out hisses of acknowledgment. As for the hundreds of blue Mosquito Beasts, there was a look of struggle in their eyes, but as the Mosquito King's pressure permeated the area, they quickly showed submission and circled around.

The most difficult ones were the two white Mosquito Beasts. These two beasts stared fixedly at Wang Lin's Mosquito King, and no matter how the Mosquito King exerted its pressure, their expressions remained cold and grim.

Wang Lin's Mosquito Beast revealed a fierce glint in its eyes and let out a low hiss. As its hiss sounded, all the Mosquito Beasts in the surroundings focused their gazes on the two white Mosquito Beasts, revealing fierce flames of hostility.

The two white Mosquito Beasts let out mournful cries. One of them, which had just fought with Wang Lin's Mosquito Beast, trembled, and its eyes gradually revealed an eerie red glow. In an instant, a destructive aura radiated from its body, and with a loud boom, its body actually collapsed!

Blood mist filled the air, scattering in all directions. Just as it collapsed, the other white Mosquito Beast also chose to perish, and with a boom, it turned into flesh and blood that fell all around.

They would rather die than submit!

These two white Mosquito Beasts were equivalent to shattered nirvana Cultivators. Their self-detonation immediately formed a frantic shockwave that swept across the surroundings with a rumble. At the very moment they collapsed, Song Luohai, who was hiding behind the rocks, felt his pupils constrict violently.

"Now is the time!" His greed had already drowned his reason, especially after seeing with his own eyes that the newly born Mosquito King actually possessed a Cultivator's Primordial Spirit.

In his mind, this was definitely not someone's Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body to condense, but rather a Cultivator who had lost their Physical Body within this wind realm and, through some unknown method, had fused with this Mosquito King, thus creating an extremely special existence!

This was the first time he had encountered such a thing in his life. In his view, this Mosquito King could be considered a Cultivator itself. Controlling the Mosquito King was too difficult, but controlling a Cultivator's Primordial Spirit that had fused with the Mosquito King was not too hard!

As such, he absolutely could not give up this opportunity. However, the hundreds of blue Mosquito Beasts, thousands of red Mosquito Beasts, and especially those two white Mosquito Beasts, made him afraid to show himself at all, no matter how great his greed was.

But now, upon seeing the two white Mosquito Beasts collapse and form a powerful sweeping shockwave, forcing those blue and red Mosquito Beasts to retreat—a golden opportunity—his heart stirred!

"This Primordial Spirit isn't strong; at most, it's at the Early Stage of shattered nirvana. If I control the Primordial Spirit inside the Mosquito King, I can control the Mosquito King!" Song Luohai gritted his teeth, and popping sounds immediately erupted from his whole body. In an instant, his body shattered the rocks, and he transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing directly toward Wang Lin's Mosquito King amidst the shockwave from the two white Mosquito Beasts' collapse!

His timing was extremely appropriate; clearly, while greed had overwhelmed his reason, he had also performed detailed calculations and analysis. The moment he flew out, he immediately formed Hand Seals with both hands. As his shattered nirvana aura erupted frantically, phantoms of the sun and moon manifested in his hands. He attacked with his strongest Divine Ability! Especially since he was a member of the Soul Silence Dao, the greatest characteristic of his sect's Divine Ability was that it related to souls and Primordial Spirits; it did not harm the body, but specifically injured the spirit and soul!

Furthermore, at the moment his Divine Ability permeated the air, Song Luohai suddenly let out a low roar. This roar boomed, and within it contained a Divine Ability targeting the Primordial Spirit. Under this roar, the Primordial Spirit would be shaken and experience a brief moment of dizziness!

All of his actions and calculations were practically perfect, but… he had encountered Wang Lin!

Wang Lin had long since detected Song Luohai's presence but had ignored him. Now, under the shockwave of the white Mosquito Beasts' collapse, the moment Song Luohai appeared, the Star of Rules where Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit resided immediately flashed.

The instant the opponent rushed out, Wang Lin's Mosquito Beast immediately retreated. As the shockwave ripples echoed, Song Luohai's figure pursued like a rainbow, and it looked like he was about to catch up. But at this moment, as the Star of Rules rotated, and just as Song Luohai's Divine Ability approached, Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit manifested, eyes filled with mockery, and he raised his right hand to wave forward.

With a boom, a gust of wind transformed into a Vortex storm, appearing suddenly and rushing toward Song Luohai. With a loud crash, it collided with his Divine Ability, producing an earth-shattering sound.

Song Luohai's face instantly turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body involuntarily retreating several meters. His eyes revealed a look of terror; the power in the opponent's sweep wasn't great, but it contained a Dao Concept, and was permeated with rules. In an instant, it disrupted his mind, and his own Concept nearly collapsed because of it!

But the scene that followed made his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering! He saw Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit raise his hand and point forward! At the same time, his Mosquito Beast let out a long hiss.

Suddenly, all the surrounding Mosquito Beasts rushed in frantically. In the blink of an eye, they sealed off all directions—front, back, left, and right—of Song Luohai, trapping him deeply within the swarm of Mosquito Beasts!

The thousands of red Mosquito Beasts and hundreds of blue Mosquito Beasts—the collective power they displayed at this moment was something even Wang Lin was seeing for the first time in person!

Rumbling sounds continuously erupted from within the Mosquito Beast swarm, along with Song Luohai's roars of terror.

"I, Song, was wrong. Fellow Daoist, please show mercy! Fellow Daoist, please show mercy!! I, Song, am an Elder of the Soul Silence Dao. If Fellow Daoist lets me go this once, I will surely reward you generously in the future!" His voice was filled with anxiety and pleading.

Wang Lin's expression remained normal. As his Divine Thought was transmitted, the Mosquito King beneath him hissed again, and the Mosquito Beast swarm attacked even more frantically!

At this very moment, within the eighth-rank Star Domain, where the Wuji Sect was located, there existed three huge Cultivation Planets. The grand ceremony was being held on the second Cultivation Planet; it had already begun and had been ongoing for many days.

The entire Wuji Sect's once-in-a-millennium Branch Sect Grand Competition was extremely lively. With a vast number of people, they were packed densely, occupying the entire Cultivation Planet.

They had even invited some Cultivators with great Divine Abilities and members of various sects to attend as observers, making the Wuji Sect clamorous with voices. Even some Loose Cultivators had gathered at the Wuji Sect to watch this Grand Competition.

A huge platform occupying nearly half of the Cultivation Planet was the battlefield for the Wuji Sect's Branch Sect Grand Competition. Around this platform, countless stairs rose up toward the sky; these stairs were the seats, and at this moment, they were completely packed with Cultivators.

Among the four directions of east, west, south, and north, the Guiyuan Sect's location was in a small area on the northern edge. Compared to other sects that easily had a scale of hundreds of people, the Guiyuan Sect had fewer than ten people, appearing extremely desolate.

Lü Yanfei sat there silently. There were still a few days left; after the fourth-rank sect competition ended, it would be the turn of the fifth-rank branch sects.

The rest of the Guiyuan Sect members also sat to the side, wearing expressions of desolation. Their eyes revealed confusion and sorrow, as if the fate of their Guiyuan Sect could never be changed.

"I am feeling unwell, I will return first." Lü Yanfei stood up, whispered softly, and was about to leave to return to the residence granted by the Main Sect, even though that place was more remote and more desolate.

"Isn't this the famous beauty Lü, whose reputation for beauty is widespread and who is secretly known as the number one Cauldron of the fifth-rank Star Domain? Indeed, not bad! It was worth me spending quite a few Origin Crystals this time to make you a member of my Xianyin Sect after the Guiyuan Sect dissolves." A frivolous voice came from not far away.

Immediately after, a middle-aged man in a blue shirt, wearing a gentle smile, slowly walked out from the crowd. As he appeared, those around who recognized his identity immediately changed expressions and hurriedly moved aside, making the area where the Guiyuan Sect was located quickly become empty, and it became extremely conspicuous.

The members of the Guiyuan Sect, upon whom everyone's gaze fell, were all pale and remained silent. Sun Yun, in particular, bit her lower lip until it almost bled.

This middle-aged man was not alone; behind him followed two white-haired old men. Their expressions were cold and grim, their gazes like lightning, and those who met their eyes would all feel their hearts tremble.

"The sixth-rank Star Domain's Xianyin Sect! Judging by this person's appearance, he must be the Sect Master's eldest Disciple, Lü Yingjie."

"The Xianyin Sect has ranked first in the sixth-rank Star Domain branch sects many times in a row and is highly valued by the Main Sect. It is rumored that for this final grand ceremony of the eighth-rank Star Domain sects, one of the three designated spots for our Wuji Sect comes from this Xianyin Sect."

"Especially this Lü Yingjie; it is said that the Cultivation Technique he practices is extremely vicious and often requires a large number of Cauldrons. Those he takes a fancy to, even if their cultivation is profound, seem unable to escape."

"There are too many rumors about this Lü Yingjie. I also heard that this person has some Bloodline connection with Elder Lü of our Wuji Sect… Elder Lü's cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of shattered nirvana. With him behind him, it's no wonder this Lü Yingjie is so overbearing."

Lü Yanfei's body paused. Her beautiful eyes revealed a cold glint as she turned to look at the blue-shirted man walking over. This man had a handsome appearance and was shrouded in a heroic aura.

"The Guiyuan Sect has not dissolved, and it will not dissolve." Lü Yanfei's voice was calm. After speaking, she turned and was about to leave.

Lü Yingjie smiled slightly and said softly, "Fellow Daoist Lü, do not blame me. The talk of a Cauldron is something I heard from others. Please do not mind the frivolity. However, I am also being kind; if the Guiyuan Sect dissolves, Miss Lü will have a good place to go, won't she?"

"Don't say that the Guiyuan Sect won't dissolve! Even if it truly dissolves, my Zidao Sect will accept all of the Guiyuan Disciples!" A cold voice came from another direction. A man dressed in purple slowly walked over. After coldly glancing at Lü Yingjie, he looked at Lü Yanfei, cupped his fists, and said very politely, "I, Lu, have met Fellow Daoist Lü."

Lü Yanfei was stunned.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, do not overthink. Although I, Lu, only met Brother Lü once, that night of discussing the Dao is unforgettable for a lifetime. Regarding the Guiyuan Sect's affairs, if he returns, not to mention it won't dissolve, even the first place in the branch sect competition is not impossible." Lu Yuncong's expression revealed emotion and reminiscence.

"So Fellow Daoist Lu has also taken a fancy to the Guiyuan Sect and wants to compete with me again. I just don't know who this 'Brother Lü' you speak of is. Could it be that you are talking about me?" Lü Yingjie smiled slightly, showing no sign of joy or anger, and even his words seemed light and breezy.

"Shut up! What kind of thing are you to be worthy of mentioning the name Brother Lü? If he arrives, killing you would be like crushing an ant!" Lu Yuncong frowned and shouted unceremoniously.

I owed a chapter on the 9th, made up four thousand words yesterday, and added three thousand words today, for a total of seven thousand words! Even counting interest, it should be enough. Now, I finally have a clear conscience. The monthly vote is being quickly closed in on by my friend Feng Ling. I ask for monthly votes to warm up.
