Chapter 1464: Dominating the Inner Realm. Despicable!! (Fourth Update)

In the ninth tier of the Cloud Sea Star Domain, within the Divine Sect, the Grand Elder Daoist Shui was currently sitting cross-legged atop the highest peak of one of the Cultivation Planets belonging to the Divine Sect. Dressed in blue robes, appearing like a young boy, he sat there gazing up at the sky, a cold light flickering in his eyes.

Surrounding him were four other peaks. If one looked down from high altitude, these five peaks resembled five fingers, occupying a large portion of the Cultivation Planet and piercing straight into the Nine Heavens!

Like the hand of a giant, attempting to stretch out from this Cultivation Planet and crush the heavens and earth.

Gazing at the sky, Daoist Shui’s expression was extremely gloomy, tinged with a faint sense of unease. As early as when he had sensed Wang Lin's aura, Daoist Shui had felt a premonition of disaster. Wang Lin's several Origins back then had greatly shocked him, and now that he knew the other party had returned, the shock in his heart was immense.

Especially the auras of Venerable Lingdong and Zhou Jin previously had made Daoist Shui restless. Although he did not know the truth, he faintly had a guess, but this speculation seemed too astonishing to him, so much so that he dared not, and was unwilling, to believe it himself.

"Damn it, this person truly has great luck. I originally informed Venerable Daoist Miaoyin of the Outer Realm about his whereabouts, yet he still managed to return alive…" Daoist Shui’s expression was ferocious. In silence, he waved his right hand forward, performing Hand Seals. Immediately, the colors of the world changed, and as the winds and clouds rolled back, a wisp of smoke arrived, transforming into three Smoke Cranes before Daoist Shui.

These three Cloud Cranes were imposing. Upon their appearance, roars spread across the Cultivation Planet. They flapped their wings, circling in front of Daoist Shui.

Staring at the three Cloud Cranes, Daoist Shui gritted his teeth, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood which split into three portions, shooting straight toward the three Cloud Cranes. After fusing with them one by one, the cranes sped away in three directions.

The sound of the cranes shook the heavens. Their cries tore through the sky and earth, merging into the starry Void. They traveled invisibly, flashing without a trace.

Gazing at the spot where the Cloud Cranes disappeared, Daoist Shui remained silent for a moment. Still uneasy, he raised his right hand and grabbed into the Void ahead. Another wisp of smoke flew out from the heavens and earth, transforming into seven floating Jade Slips.

Holding one Jade Slip, murderous intent flashed in Daoist Shui’s eyes.

"By the order of this old man, the Grand Elder of the Divine Sect, gather the Cultivators of Cloud Sea who are preparing for battle, and set up the Nine Extinctions Li Heaven Array outside my Divine Sect!" With a flick, the Jade Slip shot toward the heavens and earth and vanished.

Clenching the second Jade Slip, Daoist Shui’s expression was ferocious as he transmitted his Divine Thought.

"By the order of the Divine Sect, the Seventh Tier Branch Sects must immediately go to Guiyuan Sect, capture everyone there, and send them to the Divine Sect. Once this old man issues the Sealed Order, the entire Guiyuan Sect shall be executed, leaving none alive!"

The Jade Slip, infused with his murderous intent, suddenly sped away and disappeared into the heavens and earth. Daoist Shui did not pause, taking the third Jade Slip into his hand.

"Mu Bingmei, this old man helped you heal, helped you recover your cultivation, and helped your cultivation advance several steps. This favor must be repaid now. I order you to immediately swallow that Medicinal Pill, leave your seclusion, and come assist this old man!"

With a flick of his right hand, the third Jade Slip instantly vanished, tearing through the Void.

"Sect Master of the Sky Breaker Sect, by the order of this old man, immediately come to the Divine Sect. I shall grant you death in front of me. If you do not come, the Sky Breaker Sect will be wiped out!"

The fourth Jade Slip merged into the heavens and earth.

"Tai Aluo, as the Emperor of Vicious Beasts, you have already taken human form. You were sealed countless years ago. This old man, Daoist Shui, can lift the Seal placed by the Venerable of the Sealed Realm back then, allowing you to return to your homeland, but you must take action to kill one person!"

The fifth Jade Slip suddenly collapsed, containing a trace of Daoist Shui’s will, and merged into the nothingness.

After Daoist Shui consecutively issued five Sealed Orders, the trace of unease in his heart slightly dissipated, but he was still worried. He clenched the sixth Jade Slip, and after a moment of silence, Evil Qi flashed in his eyes.

"Cloud Sea, Zhaohe, Alliance, Luotian! This old man, Daoist Shui of the Divine Sect, was once a Boy Attendant under the Venerable of the Sealed Realm. For tens of thousands of years, I have continuously guarded the Divine Sect for my master, and I established outstanding merit during the Second Great War against the Outer Realm!

Today, this old man has received accurate information: there was once a Cultivator in the Alliance Star Domain named Wang Lin. This person is one of the Venerable Master’s pawns from the Outer Realm! This person hides extremely deeply and even obtained the supreme treasure Heaven Defying, which my master brought from the Ancient Immortal Realm. Relying on this item, he misled the Demon Sect, but he could not deceive this old man!

He returned from the Outer Realm intending to disrupt our Sealed Realm, acting as a spy before the invasion of the Primordial Stars Great Army!

Today, this old man issues the Sealed Realm Order on behalf of my master, calling upon all Cultivators in the Inner Realm to kill this person!

Whoever kills this person shall obtain the Heaven Defying!

Whoever kills this person shall be a hero of our Inner Realm!

Whoever kills this person shall become the Sect Master of my Divine Sect!!

Whoever kills this person, this old man is willing to serve as their slave for a thousand years!!!"

Daoist Shui’s expression was ferocious. He violently waved his right hand forward, and the Jade Slip, carrying his frenzied Divine Thought and Qi, flew out directly and vanished into the starry Void!

"You want to kill me, you little bastard? Let's see how you try to kill me!!" Daoist Shui picked up the seventh Jade Slip and transmitted his final Divine Thought with a ferocious look.

"Ancient High Immortal, the residual consciousness of my master has calculated that the Outer Realm invasion is imminent, but the power of our Sealed Realm is insufficient and may be difficult to resist. In this crisis, I ask for the Ancient High Immortal to descend!!" Daoist Shui clenched the seventh Jade Slip, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and waved his right hand holding the Jade Slip, integrating the blood onto it, transforming it into a bloody rune.

After the rune appeared on the Jade Slip, it immediately emitted bursts of bloody light, rushing straight to the edge of the sky. With a flash of bloody light, the entire sky was instantly enveloped in blood color.

Even the ground was covered, turning blood-colored!

Faintly, a massive Vortex appeared in the bloody sky. The Vortex roared as it spun, seemingly leading to another realm!

Daoist Shui stood up and knelt there. Looking up, he grabbed into the Void with his right hand, and the Storage Space appeared before him. With a flash of light, a piece of Tortoise Shell manifested in Daoist Shui’s hand!

This Tortoise Shell was filled with an ancient, weathered aura. Faintly, there was even a supreme Immortal Qi spreading from it!

"This shell serves as proof of my identity! I am the Boy Attendant of the Venerable of the Sealed Realm! I ask the Ancient High Immortal to descend! I ask the Ancient High Immortal to bestow a treasure!!" Daoist Shui held the Tortoise Shell high, prostrating himself completely on the ground.

Bursts of roaring sounds came from the bloody sky. Slowly, a gaze dropped directly from within the Vortex, fixing upon the Tortoise Shell raised by Daoist Shui.

"Cultivator of the Lower Realm, this Tortoise Shell is indeed the Venerable’s Token. I have been commanded to send you a treasure. Hold this treasure and integrate it into the Sealed Realm Great Formation. This will delay the Outer Realm invasion by a hundred years… A hundred years is enough time for several Venerables of my Ancient Realm to awaken, and then there will be no trouble…" From the spinning Vortex in the bloody sky, as the majestic voice spoke, a glittering Magic Treasure slowly descended!

This was a bell, a golden bell!

As it descended, crisp ringing sounds spread out through the heavens and earth.

"Remember, you must fuse this item with the Sealed Realm Great Formation. The hundred years of delay are extremely important… Within a hundred years, the Ancient Realm will no longer provide aid to you all; it will be completely sealed off…"

The bell slowly descended above Daoist Shui. As Daoist Shui looked up, this golden, spiritual object landed before him. With wild ecstasy in his eyes, Daoist Shui reached out his right hand and grabbed the bell.

A booming sound echoed in his mind, and he established a connection with the bell.

The blood color in the sky gradually faded, slowly returning to normal. Daoist Shui showed a wicked grin, stood up, and muttered fiercely to himself, "The item the Old Fellow left behind is indeed still useful… With this treasure bestowed by the Ancient Immortal Realm, I'd like to see how Wang Lin can kill me!!"

"After killing Wang Lin, I can exchange this bell for a great merit, and then the Venerable Master will surely grant me endless Incense!" As for integrating this object into the Sealed Realm Great Formation to delay the invasion by a hundred years, Daoist Shui had no intention of doing so whatsoever!!

Within the Flashing Realm Zhaohe, there was a massive Vortex in the starry Void. This Vortex had existed since ancient times, serving as a major Danger Zone in Zhaohe. Once a Cultivator approached it, all their Primordial Power would be sucked away, trapping them inside until death.

Deep within that Vortex was a Cultivation Planet. It was small and entirely black.

The Cultivation Planet was permeated with vast amounts of sludge and swamps, and Poisonous Qi was widespread. The entire Cultivation Planet was nothing but sludge. Deep within this star, inside the endless mud, sat an old man dressed in black robes.

This old man had a ferocious appearance, and his skin was covered in pustules and poisonous sores. While meditating, wisps of black Qi emanated from the surrounding sludge, being absorbed into his seven orifices.

Just then, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, revealing cold indifference. The moment his eyes opened and closed, a wisp of smoke appeared out of thin air in the sludge before him, transforming into a Cloud Crane.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou De of Zhaohe, I am willing to exchange a Rank Six Dao Spirit for your assistance in taking action once!"

Daoist Shui’s voice emerged from the Cloud Crane, echoing within the interior of the Cultivation Planet.

The black-robed old man’s eyes flashed. He raised his right hand to catch the Cloud Crane, a contemplative look in his eyes.

"Daoist Shui is a stingy person. Since he is offering a Rank Six Dao Spirit in exchange for this old man taking action, I wonder what kind of great enemy he has encountered… To take action once… Fine!"

Within the Zhaohe Star Domain, on a half-abandoned Cultivation Planet, in a mortal Capital City, there was a Pawnshop. The owner of the Pawnshop was a gentle-looking middle-aged man, but many in the city knew that although this middle-aged man appeared kind, he was extremely fond of haggling.

On this day, he was sitting inside his Pawnshop, holding a jade pendant in his hand, examining it carefully while occasionally looking up at the person who had come to pawn an item.

"Well, this jade… it's not good jade…" The middle-aged man rolled his eyes and spoke with difficulty.

"Shopkeeper, this is…"

The middle-aged man frowned, about to speak, when suddenly his expression shifted, and he looked up toward the doorway.

"Ten taels of silver!" The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed. He took out ten taels of silver and gave it to the surprised pawner. After the person left, he raised his right hand and pointed forward.

Suddenly, a Cloud Crane materialized before him.

"Fellow Daoist Yun Fengzi of Zhaohe, I am willing to give you the Venerable of the Sealed Realm's Soul Stabilizing Art Divine Ability from back then, in exchange for your assistance in taking action once!" Daoist Shui’s voice echoed in the middle-aged man’s mind.

The man’s eyes lit up. He rubbed his chin, a contemplative look in his eyes.

"Soul Stabilizing Art… Interesting, very interesting."

I am still persevering, having taken another Painkiller. The headache is driving me crazy. I've written way too much these past few days… But there is still time until midnight, until the final victory is decided. I cannot slack off; I must continue fighting for the fifth chapter!
