Chapter 1509: Dominating the Inner Realm, Chong Xuanzi
The old man in the white light, whose face was originally calm, changed due to Wang Lin's roaring words. He slowly raised his head, and his ancient eyes looked at Wang Lin.
"Are you a Seal Venerable?"
Wang Lin held the bow in his left hand. The bowstring had originally been broken, but after its Fusion with Wang Lin's Bloodline, it had recovered. However, once this recovered bowstring was drawn, it felt like pulling Wang Lin's own tendons!
But at this moment, Wang Lin no longer considered the consequences. Although his mind had become demonic, his nature had not changed at all. His nature was that once he decided on something, he would never back down! He wanted to save Qing Shui, no matter the cost!
Grabbing the bowstring with his right hand, Wang Lin's veins bulged on his face. With a low growl, he pulled it back sharply. With a hum, the bowstring was forcefully drawn by Wang Lin!
As the bowstring was drawn, Wang Lin immediately felt a strong sensation of his entire body's tendons being violently stretched. His face was slightly pale, but his eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.
At this moment, all repulsive forces and tendon-stretching pains were thrown to the back of his mind. His only thought was to kill anyone who stood in his way of saving Qing Shui!
"What I said earlier, whether it's true or false, you can ask your Disciple, and you will know!" Wang Lin's words were sinister and cold amidst his狰狞. He drew the bow back further, and a tremendous power emanated from it, as if it could collapse heaven and earth.
The old man in the white light looked solemnly at the bow in Wang Lin's hand, his eyes gradually revealing confusion. This was his first awakening since he fell into slumber years ago. This awakening was due to his Disciple, Chong Xuanzi's, summons. After awakening, he did not know what had happened before or after; all he saw was Wang Lin attempting to destroy the planet.
Wang Lin's words shook his mind. Although he had been in slumber, he still remembered that he was an Inner Realm Cultivator and remembered the grace of the Seal Venerable from back then… In silence, the old man lowered his head to look at the huge Cultivation Planet beneath him. He raised his right hand and waved it downwards, and immediately, three figures were enveloped in a white light and directly pulled out from within the Cultivation Planet!
The three figures were three old men with terrified expressions. One of them was none other than Chong Xuanzi, except his appearance had changed from a middle-aged man to an old man, for some unknown reason.
The two people beside him were the current Grand Elders of the Cultivation Alliance!
The two Grand Elders trembled, their expressions in the white light replaced by awe. They immediately knelt down and said tremblingly, "Greetings, Grand Elder."
"Greetings, Master." Chong Xuanzi's mind was filled with panic. He was terrified at this moment. He had heard all of Wang Lin's words just now, and his heart was pounding. His mind raced, preparing an explanation.
"Master, things are not as that Junior said, it's…" He looked up, trembling, about to explain.
But Long Panzi coldly swept his gaze over him. With that one look, Chong Xuanzi's words immediately caught in his throat, and he trembled, not daring to speak again.
"You are Zhang Xi, aren't you… When this old man was in slumber, you were my page boy." Long Panzi's gaze fell on the old man on the left of the remaining two.
"It's me, Junior is indeed Zhang Xi!" The old man's eyes showed excitement. He didn't expect the other party to still remember him.
"Tell me, what this person just said, is it true or false!" Long Panzi's voice was calm, but it exuded an air of authority.
Zhang Xi's eyes showed hesitation, and in fear, he instinctively glanced at Chong Xuanzi.
"Useless trash!" Long Panzi snorted coldly, raising his right hand and waving it forward. A white light shot up into the sky and went straight for the old man. Amidst a scream, the old man's body collapsed with a bang, flesh and blood splattering all over Chong Xuanzi and the other old man.
Wang Lin watched this scene coldly, the bowstring in his right hand drawn back a little further.
After killing Zhang Xi, Long Panzi looked at Chong Xuanzi with deep regret. He let out a long sigh, raised his right hand and grabbed into the Void Realm. The other Elder immediately screamed in terror, and Long Panzi pressed his palm on his heavenly spirit. His immense spiritual power directly rushed into the man's mind. As he swept through, Long Panzi's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Wretched child!! How dare you!!" Long Panzi squeezed his hand, and with the old man's shrill scream, his entire body collapsed with a bang, his form and spirit utterly destroyed. Long Panzi suddenly turned his head, staring fixedly at Chong Xuanzi, his eyes filled with rage.
Chong Xuanzi's face was pale, and he subconsciously retreated a few steps. In fear, he plopped to his knees, his voice already distorted, and he spoke urgently.
"Master, spare my life, Master, spare my life!! There's another hidden reason for this matter. The Primordial Stars Cultivators from the Outer Realm invaded in force, and the Inner Realm was no match for them at all. Even if this Disciple resisted, it would have been useless!
This Disciple had to protect the Alliance. In order for the Alliance to continue, I had no choice but to reach an agreement with the Outer Realm… The Outer Realm Venerable Master Assembly has already promised to ensure the Alliance's continuation for ten thousand years!!
Master, you don't know this from your years of slumber, but nearly a thousand years ago, the Luotian Star Domain launched a large army to fight our Alliance. In that war, the Alliance was torn apart, with only the headquarters surviving. This Disciple called out to Master back then, but Master did not respond… This Disciple has no feelings for the Inner Realm. Since they can attack our Alliance, why can't our Alliance help the Outer Realm Cultivators!
Moreover, the Seven-Colored Realm was discovered by you, Master, back then. At that time, Outer Realm Cultivators appeared, and although you, Master, killed them and placed a Seal on the Seven-Colored Realm, establishing the Cultivation Alliance headquarters here to suppress this realm, Master, you have no idea about the changes over these years while you were in slumber… Even if we suppress this realm for the Inner Realm, what's the use!! The strength of the Outer Realm Venerable Masters is such that even Master might not be their match. What do we have to resist them with!
The Inner Realm's defeat is a foregone conclusion, there's no way to turn the tide, Master! With your cultivation, if we defect to the Outer Realm, we will surely gain good fortune. Why bother toiling for this Inner Realm!"
"You!!" Long Panzi looked at Chong Xuanzi, his eyes filled with even deeper regret. He hadn't found too many details in the old man's memory; everything was just a pretense. But Chong Xuanzi didn't know this, and in his fear, he blurted out everything.
"No matter how much conflict there is within the Inner Realm, it has nothing to do with the Outer Realm. As long as they don't invade here, this old man will not awaken. The rise and fall of the Alliance has its own destiny. The purpose of this old man allowing you to establish the Cultivation Alliance back then was not to control Kunxu, but to improve the cultivation of our Kunxu Cultivators in that harsh environment! It was for the sake of fighting the Outer Realm!!" Long Panzi sighed deeply.
"Cultivation Alliance, Cultivation Alliance… The reason the Outer Realm colluded with you is because they saw this old man integrate into this Cultivation Planet, and because you must have revealed this old man's existence, using this old man as your capital to exchange for good fortune!"
Long Panzi understood this Disciple of his too well. He looked at the pale Chong Xuanzi, vaguely seeing the past, before the Cultivation Alliance existed, on a mountain range of a Cultivation Planet. A beggar boy, with resolute determination, climbed the mountain step by step, taking seventeen days, covered in blood, finally seeing him at the mountain peak.
All because this boy wanted to cultivate immortality. There was a legend in his hometown that as long as one could climb this mountain, if they had Immortal destiny, they would see an Immortal.
"Song'er, you once said in your youth that your greatest wish was to return home wealthy…" Long Panzi's eyes showed reminiscence, his voice gradually softening.
But his expression, when seen by Chong Xuanzi, filled him with despair. His body trembled, and he shrieked.
"Master, this Disciple originally didn't intend to break the Seal of the Seven-Colored Realm!! It was that Immortal Lord Qing Shui back then, it was he who, after invading here, forced this Disciple to break the Seal of the Seven-Colored Realm!! He was the one who opened the Seven-Colored Realm!! This has nothing to do with this Disciple, he is the true culprit!!"
Wang Lin's eyes narrowed, staring at Chong Xuanzi. Behind him, Yan Leizi's eyes showed monstrous hatred, and even his breathing became rapid.
Long Panzi seemed not to have heard these words, his gaze towards Chong Xuanzi becoming even softer.
"Your body was weak in your youth, unable to cultivate immortality. This Master pitied your resolve, so I nurtured your body, brought you the five veins of heaven and earth to integrate into your body, granting you a Dao bone… But you, now, no longer possess a Dao Heart…" In Long Panzi's eyes, scenes from the past flickered. He let out a long sigh, raised his right hand, and flicked his sleeve, and immediately, a white storm roared forth.
Chong Xuanzi's face changed drastically, and he retreated frantically, letting out a shrill scream.
"Master, spare my life, Master, don't kill me!! Master!!! This Disciple was wrong, this Disciple knows his mistake, Master!!!" In his retreat, he was already in despair. At the moment the storm roared upon him, he gave a tragic laugh and stopped retreating, closing his eyes.
With a boom, the storm enveloped him, but it did not harm him at all. Instead, with a sweep, it pulled him behind Long Panzi, avoiding the coverage of Wang Lin's drawn bow in the ethereal space.
"You have committed a monstrous crime, caused a disaster, and you have lost the Dao Heart of an Inner Realm Cultivator… But, you are my Disciple… For a Disciple's crime, I bear responsibility… For your transgressions, let this Master repay them on your behalf…" Long Panzi's gentle gaze fell upon Chong Xuanzi, who stood there stunned, then he turned and bowed deeply to Wang Lin.
"Seal Venerable, for everything he has done, I, Long Panzi, will bear it!" He raised his right hand and slammed it hard against his chest. With a rumble, Long Panzi spat out a mouthful of primordial spirit qi. His expression dimmed, and the massive Cultivation Planet beneath him collapsed with a bang. A gray mist permeated it, plants withered, mountains crumbled, rivers evaporated, and ravines spread everywhere. The entire Cultivation Planet directly shattered into pieces!
As it collapsed, streams of white Qi rose, all integrating into Long Panzi's body. At this very moment, a flame suddenly ignited within his illusory body.
"With this palm, this old man severed his vitality, exchanging it for the burning of his Primordial Spirit. With my cultivation, I can unleash the strength of the empty profound Early Stage… I will kill all the Outer Realm Cultivators currently present in the Inner Realm… destroy all Seven-Colored Realms except this one. Since Zhao He has fallen, I will reclaim it. With this, I will exchange for Chong Xuan's life…" Long Panzi cupped his fists towards Wang Lin, then turned his gaze softly to Chong Xuanzi, who was still stunned.
"Master!!!" Chong Xuanzi sobered up, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly, his eyes filled with extreme sorrow and deep regret… "Let's go…" Long Panzi sighed lightly, wrapped Chong Xuanzi, and walked into the distance.
"I understand my Disciple; he always prepares for both outcomes. The reason Immortal Lord Qing Shui is unharmed is because Chong Xuan, to save his own life, left him as a protective charm…"
As his words faintly drifted, a white storm appeared out of thin air, heading straight for the bloody Rift beneath the collapsed Cultivation Planet. With a roar, this Rift was swept by the storm, tearing open on a large scale. The red light dissipated, revealing layers of seven-colored light beneath it!
Qing Shui is there!
Seeing that some Fellow Daoists doubt whether Er Gen can complete eighty chapters as promised this month, to be honest, Er Gen is not confident either… At that time, my head got hot, and I acted impulsively… These past few nights before going to bed, I always count on my fingers, looking at my daughter, muttering: "Still N chapters short, still S chapters short…"
As I counted, I started scratching my head… My daughter even angered me. She doesn't understand anything, but she learned to count in kindergarten, so she counts everything she sees. Seeing me calculating, she'd say next to me, "Still 100 chapters short, still 200 chapters short…" It drives me crazy!
It seems this week, I'll have to burst out at least twice… Pain, struggle, impulsiveness is the devil… But I hope impulsiveness is monthly votes…
