Chapter 520 -318: Constant Star Level Forces! _2
“I’m the only one… still paving my path in the dark.”
“But at least, for now, I’ve paved the way to the Seventh Rank.”
Su Qi was just one fully charged spiritual energy battery away from immediate breakthrough.
Meanwhile,
he was naturally contemplating a new issue.
The Ancient Relic of the Tenth Rank was the heart of an Ancient God.
The Ninth Rank was the eye of an Evil God.
The Eighth Rank was the wings of the Angel Divine Race.
So, the question of what Ancient Relic to hunt for the Seventh Rank was worth deep thinking.
Currently, he didn’t have any other Ancient Relics in hand that seemed appealing; after all, the previous three were Divine level and surely needed some effort.
As for the problem that the stronger the Ancient Relic, the higher the rank, the harder the cultivation and breakthrough.
It didn’t matter anymore.
Su Qi simply chose to selectively ignore it, embracing the mindset that having chosen something means seeing it to the end; just take it step by step, and if all else fails, just summon all the original owners of the relics he had merged with for a meeting to figure it out.
Figuring out his own path collaboratively seemed a good option.
Of course, those were thoughts for later; right now, he was still holding up.
About ten minutes later.
“We’re here.”
The four of them stopped in a dense forest, with only a decrepit temple before them.
“Huh?” Su Qi raised his eyebrows, emitting a questioning sound.
The man patted his shoulder amicably, “Don’t be puzzled; all this is just an illusion.”
“Xu Xiu.”
The woman extended her hand and wrote a character on the stele outside the temple.
The characters on the stele began to change.
Then,
they entered the temple and opened the rear door of the temple.
Instantly,
the noisy sounds of a crowd reached them, and a relatively large village came into view, the buildings somewhat dilapidated but neatly aligned.
Many people were training, cultivating.
“Amazing, isn’t it?”
The man touched his cheek and smiled, “This is our… training, hidden place.”
“Let’s go announce our arrival first; Dashan, you explain things to this young brother.”
“Alright.”
The man named Tang Dashan, a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage or the Eighth Rank,
saw Su Qi continuously looking around, his eyes filled with curiosity and wonder.
He smiled and said,
“Brother Su, it’s normal to be curious since it’s your first time here. But, come with me first. I’ll take you somewhere and meanwhile answer all the queries you have.”
“Alright, though,” said Su Qi, “my questions might be a bit tricky.”
He wasn’t curious about the various situations here, the circumstances, the existence of Sinful Cultivators, and so on.
After seeing that rundown temple and stele,
a few strands of memory were suddenly triggered in Su Qi’s heart; he felt as if he had seen this temple somewhere before.
Fortunately,
Brother Su’s memory was like a camera, if not photographic, at least as his spiritual power grew, any minute details, forgotten and omitted traces from the past could be recalled if he pondered them for a bit.
Upon entering, he immediately remembered…
“The style of this decrepit temple, the various arrangements inside, and the characters on the stele.”
Su Qi paused: “are very similar to those in the dueling ground I visited before.”
Previously, when he entered the dueling ground, it was filled with Demons, as well as various ruined temples and ancient steles; he hadn’t delved deep at the time.
But now… Su Qi realized there were over ninety percent similarities.
Moreover, with the mentioned Demons and other ghosts, Ancient Beasts, it all perfectly aligned with this world.
Su Qi had reason to believe that there was a very close connection, even possibly that the space fragments of that dueling ground had shattered away from this world.
“First off, Brother Su, I need to mention something, and that is that I’m aware of your identity as an outsider.”
The man gently said, “You also know where we currently are.”
He looked towards the sky, “That outside is the Extremely Evil World.”
Su Qi paused, then spoke softly, “It seems you learned this from other outsiders?”
“Sort of but not entirely… after all, Heavenly Descendants are fewer than you might imagine. Including you, only nine people have come to our world.”
“The other eight?”
“Some were found early by Heavenly Mountain and suppressed, taken away, then no more news of them. Three were rescued by us, but…”
Tang Dashan’s voice was heavy, “The three Heavenly Descendants we rescued, all possessed by ominous forces, turned into demons, and eventually disappeared.”
Su Qi raised an eyebrow, “That’s quite sinister. Why?”
Tang Dashan sighed deeply, “We don’t know, even if we brought them here and protected them around the clock, they would unconsciously drift into a trance, and by the time we realized, the Heavenly Descendants were gone.”
Su Qi muttered to himself, “I feel like being taken away might actually be a good thing. Should I go out and chat with those two flashy guys?”
Tang Dashan, “…”
“However,” Su Qi shifted the conversation lightly, “you didn’t bring me back just to watch me disappear again.”
Tang Dashan hesitated at the young man’s sharp mind,
“Yes, we have some clues, but I am sorry, I cannot disclose them to you. However, rest assured we will do our utmost to protect you.” Tang Dashan said earnestly, “We never engage in acts against our principles, and we strive relentlessly to protect the weak and ordinary people, fighting against the cruel and powerful Pseudo Immortals of Heavenly Mountain!”
Su Qi looked at the earnestness on his face, truly an honest and kind man deemed a Sinful Cultivator… it must be a crime labeled by Heavenly Mountain, justifying hunting them down as equivalent to killing demons.
He smiled faintly, “Alright, I’ll be cautious as you advised.”
“So, how did you come to know about the Extremely Evil World through other channels?”
Tang Dashan spoke seriously,
“You must know that Heavenly Mountain in our world… possesses absolute power, it’s a place of Immortals feared and obeyed by countless people.”
“The most powerful being in this place of Immortals is known as the Immortal Master.”
He continued gravely,
“And this Immortal Master…”
“Is not from our world.”
Su Qi raised an eyebrow, “Really? That’s unexpected.”
Tang Dashan recounted solemnly the various intelligence they had gathered at the risk of their lives from Heavenly Mountain.
“The Immortal Master, unlike other Heavenly Descendants, replaced the original Immortal Master of Heavenly Mountain and slaughtered everyone there, taking all the power into his hands. It’s been several years now.”
“All the Spirit Stones, all valuable Magic, ancient tombs, and relics were plundered by him.”
Su Qi pondered, “Is that so.”
To tell the truth,
he now understood what kind of situation this world was in.
In fact, it was simple, like a closed world that was suddenly descended upon by a robber of the Present World, except this robber felt this world was worth continuing to plunder.
Thus, he became the Immortal Master, controlled Heavenly Mountain, and suppressed any power that dared to resist.
This was a normal analysis based on Tang Dashan’s information, and there was no flaw in logic,
but in fact,
Su Qi felt something was amiss, it wasn’t that simple, especially since he had already confirmed that this place was nearly identical to the world he saw at the dueling ground.
The place swallowed by endless Old Days’ Black Rain, where even a dark-haired youth left traces there. freēnovelkiss.com
…
Meanwhile,
in the city of Extreme Evil, the man known as the Immortal Master was not dressed in a traditional robe but in… a ruthless black outfit.
Highlighted with the emblem of the Star Raider Organization.
The man who had been pursuing Long Xun was sitting across from him.
“You didn’t find that descendant?” the Immortal Master asked coldly, his aura and the emblem rendering those around too intimidated to speak or look directly at him.
After all, this was a Constant Star Level power that controlled more than ten worlds.
“No rush, as long as he’s in Extreme Evil City, he can’t escape,” the other man replied calmly.
“Additionally,”
“Is your world ready? Since we can’t get the secrets inside,”
“we’ll have to deal with our client who is on his way here.”
The cold expression of the Immortal Master suddenly trembled, showing a trace of apprehension.
“You mean that Venerable… sir?”
