Chapter 883: A Sentence Meant To Intimidate
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It took more courage to live than to die!
Heavenly Venerate Nongyue understood the meaning of the sentence. Hearing that from her master at a time like this made her tearful.
Just as Heavenly Venerate Nongyue was about to say something, Luo Yunyang interrupted her. “Dying might not be necessary.”
“Eh!” Great Heavenly Venerate Rubble was surprised for a moment and a glimmer of hope lit up the despair in his heart.
It would be best if they didn’t need to die. Although the Rising Sky Feather Sect had evacuated many disciples, there was still a large number of them on the Rising Sky Feather Mountain. The disciples would never survive if a massacre ensued.
“Do you know a way?” Great Heavenly Venerate Rubble appeared hopeful.
“It should be possible.” Luo Yunyang looked at Great Heavenly Venerate Rubble and said, “But we should also be willing to give up something. At the very least, we should give up the inheritance left by Yuan Venerate Wanliu.”
The inheritance left over by Yuan Venerate Wanliu was considered the greatest benefit and it should rightfully belong to the Rising Sky Feather Sect.
Although Great Heavenly Venerate Rubble looked very reluctant, he still gritted his teeth and agreed in the end. “That is fine.”
Luo Yunyang smiled before saying, “In that case, I can talk things out with them and ask them not to attack the Rising Sky Feather Sect.”
Heavenly Venerate Nongyue looked at the outpour of confidence Luo Yunyang was showing and felt both doubtful and hopeful.
While Luo Yunyang’s status wasn’t low and no one would dare to kill the Zongzi of Hong Meng Sacred Hall, would anyone give him face while the allure of destroying a sect was in the way?
As Heavenly Venerate Nongyue was pondering to herself, a thunderous voice began to echo throughout the sky and earth.
The thunderous sound echoed across the sky just like a drum, creating a sense of joy in the vast void.
A Yuan Venerate had fallen and the land was rejoicing!
A Yuan Venerate that passed possessed vast power. After his death, most of this power would return to the land.
It was a joyous event for the Great Cosmos when this power was returned. Therefore, every time a Yuan Venerate fell, a large number of anomalies would happen throughout the Great Cosmos.
It was also because of such anomalies that people considered a Yuan Venerate a great thief of the land.
Although most martialists dared not explicitly say so, this was still deeply rooted in the hearts of most people.
Some people even believed that a Great Cosmos couldn’t hold five Yuan Venerates at once.
Not only would the spirit essence in the Great Cosmos weaken if there were too many Yuan Venerates, but some great paths would also not appear and cultivation would get more difficult.
However, whenever a Yuan Venerate fell, the spirit essence in the land would increase and all the great path scriptures and comprehension of nomological laws would become much easier to understand.
Some people even rose rapidly to great heights because they managed to obtain the benefits from the fall of a Yuan Venerate.
Galaxy-Grade in the morning and Heavenly Venerate by night!
“Here we go!” an old man with a Universe-Grade cultivation base a million miles away from the Rising Sky Feather Mountain said in a trembling voice.
The elder’s Universe-Grade cultivation had already regressed. After attaining the seventh level of the Heavenly Venerate, he would wither and die like a giant tree without any support if he couldn’t manage to find a good opportunity.
This time, the death of a Yuan Venerate was his greatest opportunity.
Behind him were all his disciples, many of them looking forward to it.
While they couldn’t receive the greatest benefits when a Yuan Venerate fell, they would at least receive some smaller opportunities.
Furthermore, there were countless benefits in the Rising Sky Feather Sect, so snagging just a small slice of the pie would be enough for them to enjoy this for the rest of their lives.
They would never plot against the Rising Sky Feather Sect ordinarily. However, Yuan Venerate Wanliu of the Rising Sky Feather Sect was going to die now.
The Rising Sky Feather Sect had reached its weakest point, and there were more than a dozen ninth-level Heavenly Venerates among the experts attacking the Rising Sky Feather Sect.
“Be prepared. There will be great benefits at any time when the spirit essence surges. You must not miss this.”
The old Heavenly Venerate said coldly, “You will eventually become dust if you don’t snag an opportunity. Plus, opportunities have to be earned by putting your life on the line.”
As soon as the old Heavenly Venerate was done speaking, a magnificent sword-light was sent upwards to the nine heavens as an eerie murderous intent engulfed the sky instantly.
When the sword-light became much brighter, 36 longswords began to form in the void and eventually turned into a sword-wheel.
“It’s Yan Chijian! I never expected that he would come.” The old Heavenly Venerate’s voice was trembling when he saw the Sword-Wheel Sacred Image of the 36 longswords.
A seventh-level Heavenly Venerate could form a Sacred Image. An eighth-level Heavenly Venerate would divide his Sacred Image into millions, while a ninth-level Heavenly Venerate could subdue the heavens.
Yan Chijian was a top-notch ninth-level Great Heavenly Venerate.
“Yan Chijian isn’t all that impressive, huh.” A scarlet Divine Bird Sacred Image appeared in the nine skies and all sorts of flaming, hallowed ripples transformed into a flaming cloud that caused the divine bird to appear even more majestic.
The sword-wheel composed of 36 longswords rotated in the void, sending an endless sea of sword-light that illuminated its surroundings.
The land shook as the sword-light struck.
Meanwhile, the crimson Divine Bird Sacred Image began to flap its wings and the destructiveness of its grandeur traveled far and wide across the nine skies.
“Ha ha ha… Yan Chijian, Great Heavenly Venerate Red Phoenix. I’ll admire both of you and consider you good men if you fight now.”
A bluish radiance transformed into a magical mirror that illuminated brightly the nine skies.
The voice that echoed was sarcastic.
The old Heavenly Venerate did not know which powerhouse had condensed himself to a magic mirror. However, judging from the imposing demeanor exuded by the magical mirror, he knew that the person behind it was much stronger than him.
The old Heavenly Venerate, who was not willing to provoke such a person, glared at some of his disciples and made known his intention with his spirit consciousness.
Although there weren’t any Heavenly Venerates below the fifth level amongst his disciples, there was a sixth-level Heavenly Venerate.
The sixth-level Heavenly Venerate hadn’t entered the Primordial Sacred Battle Ground and was thus fortunately still alive. He had followed the old Heavenly Venerate for many years and was considered a trusted aide.
He took a look at the three Sacred Images in the sky fearfully before carefully whispering to the old Heavenly Venerate, “Master, judging from the way they’re acting, is that Yuan Venerate no longer able to retaliate?”
The old Heavenly Venerate shook his head and said, “This kind of thing is not something we can participate in. Remember, we do not need the greatest benefit. We just have to follow them.”
As the two of them were talking, the bluish sword-wheel and the crimson divine bird gave off a dazzling amount of light at the same time.
While the glare of the light blotted out the sun, no one had any intention of making the first move.
Clearly, neither was unwilling to lose this rare opportunity just because of an ill-disciplined moment of rashness.
After the three top-notch Heavenly Venerates revealed their Sacred Images, another voice echoed across the void.
“I’m Luo Yunyang and I have something to say. The Rising Sky Feather Sect is willing to give up all the benefits available after the Yuan Venerate falls. However, please do not make things difficult for the Rising Sky Feather Sect.”
Although the voice wasn’t particularly loud, there was an unquestionable might about it.
“Master, who is Luo Yunyang?” the disciple of the old Heavenly Venerate asked doubtfully.
“I don’t know.” The old Heavenly Venerate had spent most of his time training in seclusion in order to improve.
Although the recruitment of Zongzis by Hong Meng Sacred Hall had a great influence in every major sect, the old Heavenly Venerate felt that it was none of his business.
Hence, he had never cared about it.
“Master, I know who this Luo Yunyang is! He is the Zongzi of Hong Meng Sacred Hall after the most recent recruitment. I heard that he obtained a considerable opportunity after entering the Primordial Sacred Battle Ground,” a Universe-Grade disciple answered.
This peak-stage Universe-Grade elite joined in because he wanted to break through and become a Heavenly Venerate.
“Zongzi of Hong Meng Sacred Hall!” The old Heavenly Venerate made some calculations before speaking. “The recruitment of a Zongzi was quite recent. Luo Yunyang shouldn’t be more than a fifth-level Heavenly Venerate.”
“Master, although I don’t know what Luo Yunyang’s cultivation base is, I think he is at most a fourth-level Heavenly Venerate.”
“After all, it’s only been less than a hundred years since the Zongzis were recruited. He wouldn’t break through the fifth level even if he was the greatest genius ever.”
The old Heavenly Venerate nodded in agreement over the analysis and commented, “We can’t afford to offend Luo Yunyang. After all, although he does think of himself a little too highly, he has a great future.”
“Hong Meng Sacred Hall wouldn’t care about the fall of a Yuan Venerate. Luo Yunyang would just be representing himself even if he took any action.”
“You should know that he is representing himself and he will not intimidate the ninth-level Heavenly Venerates.”
“The Rising Sky Feather Sect is just like a pig waiting to be slaughtered. Even a ninth-level Heavenly Venerate wouldn’t be able to help taking a bite out of it.”
“Luo Yunyang’s face? Humph!”
As soon as the old Heavenly Venerate was done speaking, the huge Sword-Wheel Sacred Image snorted, “What an ignorant kid. He’s full of nonsense.”
Just as the Sword-Wheel Sacred Image was about to open its mouth, a seventh-level Heavenly Venerate suddenly flew up into the void. He looked at Luo Yunyang and said with a hint of coldness in his tone, “Luo Yunyang, you can’t have that big of an appetite if you want to swallow all the benefits of the Rising Sky Feather Sect.”
“There is no room for kids like you to speak. Now, scram!”
The voice boomed like thunder in the sky, echoing throughout the land.
When that seventh-level Heavenly Venerate appeared, the surrounding atmosphere went completely silent and countless pairs of eyes were staring at Luo Yunyang in the Rising Sky Feather Sect.
The Rising Sky Feather Sect’s disciples were disappointed, speechless, and helpless as they looked on.
Heavenly Venerate Nongyue looked at Luo Yunyang, who was standing in the void, unable to bring herself to say anything.
Although she was grateful for Luo Yunyang, she also felt that what Luo Yunyang had done was too simplistic and he had not managed to gauge the seriousness of the matter.
After all, intimidating everyone with a mere sentence wasn’t something a fourth-level Heavenly Venerate like Luo Yunyang could manage to do.
