Chapter 818: Without Any Sign
Ancestor Cao Xinyang of the Zhenyang Gate sighed, “The Northern Sea Mystic Sect is tyrannical indeed. They sent 3 Martial Dipper Realm experts over and worked together with the Desert Gate, Triple Frost Palace, Hengling Sect, and the 4 families of the Great Winter Palace to force their way over.
Ancestor Xuan Chang from the Zongxuan Gate added, “I have long heard that the Northern Sea Mystic Sect is the strongest existence in the Azure Spiritual World of the past, and the other factions are their followers. Now that I’ve seen what happened, it seems like the rumors were true...”
Ancestor Xuan Chang’s voice grew softer as he spoke. But he didn’t fully conclude his statement.
Ancestor Xun Yingsheng from the Lushang Sect muttered, “The Northern Sea Mystic Sect is frighteningly powerful. From the looks of it, they seem determined to obtain the Origin Holy Artifact. I wonder if the Divine Capital Sect, Eternal Palace, and Yuanchen Sect will be able to stop them...”
Xuan Lu of the White Deer Paradise spoke next, “If the 3 Elysiums joined hands like what they did when forcing their way into the Celestial Remains, there would be no need for them to fear the Northern Sea Mystic Sect. However... Heh! There is only a single Origin Holy Artifact!”
Ever since he suffered injuries during the battle against the Spirit Abundance World back then, Xuan Lu lost his speaking rights in the White Deer Paradise. His cultivation also seemed to remain stagnant the whole time. Whatever the case, he was an experienced Martial Dipper Realm expert. Even without the Divine Deer Staff, no one would dare to look down on him with his cultivation base at the second element of the Martial Dipper Realm.
No matter how much Hua Lu and Yun Lu tried to make things difficult for him in the White Deer Paradise, they weren’t able to forcefully keep him in their holy land. Unless they were planning not to take part in the final expedition of the Celestial Remains, they needed Xuan Lu to lead the troops!
At the end of the day, everything boiled down to one’s cultivation and the way they advanced. Xuan Lu didn’t break through with the help of the White Deer Paradise and he wasn’t stuck in there like Hua Lu and Yun Lu. No matter what happened, it was destined that he would rise again.
Ancestor Hao Yun from the Great Observation Sect looked at the Martial Extermination Realm cultivators who entered with them and noticed that most of them had recovered from the dizzy feeling they had when passing through a layer of space. He immediately instructed, “We cannot stay in this place for long. There’s no point for us to wait for the members of the Azure Spiritual World to force their way in either. Our best choice is to leave here at once.”
Even though his words displayed his weakness, no one would care about it at that moment. The pressure the Northern Sea Mystic Sect and its alliance brought was far too great.
Ancestor Xuan Lu chuckled, “Then again, the only advantage we have over them is the fact that we’re more familiar with the Celestial Remains. Now that the region is even more dangerous than before, they will suffer a bunch!”
Ancestor Xun Yingsheng also responded, “Alright. Then we’ll split up here and everyone should take care of themselves. I hope you find a chance to grow stronger!”
The ancestors of the various factions responded positively and they scattered.
The cultivators of the Zhenyang Gate flew in a certain direction under Cao Xinyang’s guidance.
Li Yuchen wondered at the side, “Martial Uncle, since the Northern Sea Mystic Sect formed an alliance with so many factions, shouldn’t we work together? At the very least, we wouldn\'t have to be afraid of the 4 Elysiums if we worked together here.”
Cao Xinyang replied without even turning his head. “If the Northern Sea Mystic Sect or anyone in their alliance obtains the Origin Holy Artifact, who will it belong to?”
“Obviously, it will belong to the Northern Sea Mystic Sect.” Li Yuchen replied without even thinking.
“Alright. If we form an alliance and obtain the Origin Holy Artifact, who’s going to get it?” Cao Xinyang asked.
“Of course...” Li Yuchen’s expression froze and he didn’t finish his sentence.
Seemingly able to see his expression without turning his head, Cao Xinyang replied while leading them away from the dangerous regions of shattered space and spatial cracks. “Do you understand now? We might have 5 factions here, but all of us are comparable in terms of strength. No one is able to lead the others and the other factions wouldn’t follow anyone who gave the order anyway. We might even break out into fights among ourselves before accomplishing anything. Rather than letting that happen, we should just split up and look for opportunities ourselves.”
Li Yuchen heard the meaning behind Cao Xinyang’s words but still seemed a little reluctant to accept it. “What if...”
Cao Xinyang interrupted him before he could finish. “Don’t bother dreaming of the Origin Holy Artifact. Unless you have a way to conceal yourself so well that no one will be able to detect your presence after you obtain it, there’s no point. Do I need to remind you what will happen if you offend so many terrifyingly strong powers?”
“What about the Divine Capital Sect, Eternal Palace, and Yuanchen Sect...” Li Yuchen mumbled.
“There’s even less chance for them to work together. Their plan might be to find the Origin Holy Artifact before the Northern Sea Mystic Sect and find a way to contact the Sixth Order existence on their side. Whatever it is, they won’t be able to resist the Northern Sea Mystic Sect in a head-on battle.” Cao Xinyang spoke. After he finished his sentence, he seemed to be afraid that the confidence of the Martial Extermination Realm experts on his side would suffer a blow and he added, “There’s no need for us to bite off more than we can chew. Our Zhenyang Gate’s task is mainly to improve ourselves. Martial Nephew Li Yuchen, you’re barely a step away from the Martial Dipper Realm. The most important thing we have to do here is to find a suitable Origin Dipper for you.”
He finally sighed after speaking up to that point. “Without a cultivation realm at the Martial Dipper Realm, you won’t be qualified to fight for the Origin Holy Artifact in the first place.”
Li Yuchen’s expression trembled. No one knew why, but he suddenly thought of Shang Xia from the Tongyou Institution after hearing what Cao Xinyang said.
In the past, there was once when they fought. Back then, he might not have lost terribly against Shang Xia, but he did lose quite a bit. Even so, he felt that Shang Xia didn’t get too much of an advantage because of what he did after. [1]
In just several short years, Shang Xia became a Martial Dipper Realm expert. He killed Feng Yezi with his own abilities and shocked the Azure Ascension World. Li Yuchen had been standing at the edge of the Martial Dipper Realm for some time now and the distance between them was only growing larger.
Li Yuchen couldn’t help but ask, “Martial Uncle Cao, do you think the Tongyou Institution has been eyeing the Origin Holy Artifact in the dark?”
With his expression sinking slightly, Cao Xinyang couldn’t say for certain.
Li Yuchen quickly followed up, “Earlier, Shang Xia used a strange but amazing method to enter the Celestial Remains and it seems like he was prepared. Moreover, Kou Chongxue seems to have forced his way into the Celestial Remains in the past and news of his disappearance came not too long ago. Do you think...”
Cao Xinyang sighed softly. “What you’re saying makes sense. Kou Chongxue is an invincible existence under the Sixth Order and the Celestial Remains is somewhere the Sixth Order existences of the 4 Elysiums wouldn’t be able to touch. Right now, he’s an unbeatable existence here. He might be able to obtain the Origin Holy Artifact. But even so, he wouldn’t be able to take it out of here with the Sixth Order existences of the Elysiums keeping an eye on everything that is happening outside.”
After thinking about it for a short while, Li Yuchen muttered, “What if Kou Chongxue also entered the Sixth Order...?”
Cao Xinyang forced a laugh before sighing, “Our Azure Ascension World cannot support the growth of another Elysium and another Sixth Order expert. One has to say that Liu Jingsheng truly advanced at the best possible time...”
A look of doubt flashed across Li Yuchen’s face but before he could continue asking, he was interrupted by Cao Xinyang. “There are some things you don’t have the qualifications to know about. After you refine your fate dipper and step into the Martial Dipper Realm, the secrets of our Zhenyang Gate will be revealed to you. Right now, there’s no need to think too much about it!”
Li Yuchen could only follow behind Cao Xinyang as a strange light flashed in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking about.
...
In a certain spot in the Celestial Remains, Shang Xia decisively charged straight into battle after they ran into the members of the Divine Capital Sect.
Liu Qinglan and the others didn’t know why Shang Xia was rushing into battle, but since he made his move, they could only prepare to meet the Martial Extermination Realm experts in battle.
Who would have thought that they would run into 2 Martial Extermination Realm experts of the Divine Capital Sect who seemed to be caught off guard when they arrived?
The 6 Martial Extermination Realm experts from the Tongyou Institution rushed up at once and Liu Qinglan didn’t hold back. Her Nine Segmented Whip flew out at full force and wrapped around one of them.
Sun Haiwei summoned her Ice Extermination Origin and assisted Liu Qinglan in taking down her opponent.
Tian Mengzi’s cultivation might have lagged behind a little, but the coordination he had with Sun Haiwei was great as usual. He made his move and ripped his opponent’s extermination origin protection barrier apart.
Following which, an ice sword created from Sun Haiwei’s Ice Extermination Origin pierced through his belly. Their opponent was turned into a block of ice instantly.
When that happened, Tian Mengzi already retreated and ran to the other side to provide assistance. Surprisingly, he discovered there was nothing he could do!
That was because the other expert from the Divine Capital Sect had fallen into a strange maze formation and was thoroughly suppressed by Dou Zhong and Yan Ming who rushed in to fight him. It was a matter of time before he was killed.
What shocked everyone else was the fact that there wasn’t the slightest bit of disturbance outside the formation.
The time it took Liu Qinglan and the others to kill their opponent might be short, but there was no doubt it caused a pretty large commotion.
Speaking of large commotions... Liu Qinglan and the others recalled that Shang Xia went off to fight the Divine Capital Sect’s Martial Dipper Realm expert...
Why... Why aren\'t there any signs of a fight?!
Sun Haiwei tugged Liu Qinglan’s sleeves before indicating for her to look at something.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw a massive pillar of light piercing through the skies. They could also see lights of other colors flashing around it. Strangely enough, not a single sound or spatial fluctuation could be felt.
Exchanging a glance they could see the shock in each other’s eyes.
“Instructor Chu is truly an amazing Formation Grandmaster... Her achievements in the way of Formations are truly unparalleled. Oh? Instructor Liu, Junior Sister Sun, what are you looking at?” Tian Mengzi returned and gasped after he saw how Liu Qinglan and Sun Haiwei were staring into the void with their jaws agape.
His words barely left his lips when he caught sight of a five colored light flashing in the corner of his eye. Before he could react, Shang Xia’s figure reappeared before all of them.
“Did you take care of it?” Shang Xia asked.
Tian Mengzi’s figure turned sluggish as his expression froze. He seemed to have realized why Liu Qinglan and Sun Haiwei were so surprised.
