Chapter 738: Don’t Mess with the Local Powerhouses
Qing Xuan and her grandfather stared at the painting dumbly, thinking they were dreaming. ‘The Dragon Wave Sect is gone…just like that?’
First, Shi Turiming took out a branch and battled with a Wisdom Elite. Next, this young woman in front of them only had to stand there for her opponent’s Origins Ultimate Treasure to rebel against its master. Then, with a few strokes, she turned them into a painting?! Each event was more shocking than the previous one. Their brains were still reeling from the previous shock.
“Do whatever you want with this painting. You can even wipe them all out by ripping it to shreds,” said Shi Tuqin, pulling them back to the present.
Qing Xuan accepted the painting in a trance, not really believing that the fate of her mortal enemies was now in the palm of her hands.
“Th…thank you, Goddess. I, Lin Yufeng, owe you my life,” said Qing Xuan’s grandfather.
“I, Qing Xuan, thank the Goddess for saving my life and avenging my parents,” said Qing Xuan sincerely.
Shi Turiming walked over with a laugh and proudly introduced his daughter, “Brother Yufeng, this is my daughter, Shi Tuqin.”
He was shocked at how powerful Shi Tuqin had become but not as shocked as Qing Xuan and Lin Yufeng because after all, this was not his first time experiencing things like this.
Lin Yufeng finally understood why Shi Turiming could act so stubborn in the face of enemies stronger than him. Anyone would have acted as stubborn as him if they had a daughter like Shi Tuqin.
At the same time, he recalled the powerful figure he mentioned. He must be more powerful than Shi Tuqin to be her mentor. He chastised himself for not believing in Shi Turiming and hated himself for being so narrow-minded.
“What brings you back here, daughter?” asked Shi Turiming with a smile.
“Master had made some food for everyone so I brought some for you,” said Shi Tuqin.
“Food?!” Shi Turiming became very excited and touched at the same time. “The expert’s certainly kind to us. I’ll forever be indebted to him.”
Shi Tuqin took out the donkey burger and passed it to him. Both Lin Yufeng and Qing Xuan were puzzled by his behavior but the puzzlement soon turned into shock when their gaze fell on the donkey burger.
‘What thick Wisdom aura! It even has a trace of Origins! This isn’t ordinary food at all! It’s a great fortune! The expert’s really generous to give that away! Anyone would have fought tooth and nail for this.’
“Master Shi…you..this…” Lin Yufeng could not even speak properly.
“This is just food. My daughter has it every day and sometimes the expert will give us some, too,” said Shi Turiming calmly.
Lin Yufeng and Qing Xuan almost fainted with shock. They could not believe that divine food like this was treated as everyday food to the expert. This had turned their worldview upside down.
This explained how Shi Tuqin became so powerful. Even a pig would become the most powerful being in all seven dimensions if they had the expert as their master. They had certainly underestimated the seventh dimension.
“Master Shi, may…may we join the Legendary Beast Sect?” asked Qing Xuan.
“You’ve avenged my son and his wife and for that, we’re willing to pledge our loyalty to you,” said Lin Yufeng.
They waited anxiously for Shi Turiming’s answer, fearing that they were not qualified to join the sect. They were hoping that by joining them, some of the benefits bestowed by the expert would trickle down to them.
“You’re more than welcome to join!” said Shi Turiming generously with a smile on his face. “Brother Yufeng, you were injured just now. Please, have some of this meat. I hope you don’t find the portion too small.”
Then, he gave them some of the grilled donkey meat which the two of them respectfully accepted with trembling hands.
“It’s not small at all! Thank you, thank you so much!” They began to shove it into their mouths, not even letting a morsel escape.
“Wow! This is so good!”
“I can feel it! I can feel my mana spinning! I’m getting stronger!”
Meanwhile, demons from the other dimensions had gathered around the Demon Palace, observing their every move. It was inevitable that the newly arrived forces would want to take over the old forces. As the most influential demon organization in the entire dimension, the Demon Palace naturally attracted the attention of many.
At this moment, a huge blue-eyed white tiger stood on the top of the mountain, his majestic eyes looking in the direction of the Demon Palace, lost in deep thought. Then, he asked, “Have we received any news from the spy we’ve sent out?”
“At present, we only know that the Demon Palace and the Heavenly Palace have good relations. There are two peerless Demon Queens, a sister duo from the Nine-Tailed Fox clan. Rumor has it that they possess unparalleled elegance, beauty, profound magical power, and…” said a minion demon.
“Stop right there! Did I ask you to come up with all the words to describe them? Useless, each and every one of you!” shouted the White Tiger King. “Who doesn’t know that the Demon Palace and the Heavenly Palace have good relations with each other? Do you think I don’t know it was the Heavenly Palace who killed the Seal Demon King? As for the Demon Queens…unparalleled elegance and beauty eh? Haha, I…”
Suddenly, his eyes bulged out as he looked toward the void and his tongue was lolled out as a bewitching woman slowly made her way over to the Demon Palace. She wore a pink tulle dress and was walking barefoot on the void. Wherever she stepped, there seemed to be pink lotus blooming under her feet, eclipsing the world.
“I believe what you,” said the White Tiger King softly. Then, in an excited tone, he said, “To get the Demon Palace, I’m willing to sacrifice myself! Hurry and pack up, we’re going there to propose a marriage!”
The young woman was, of course, Little Fox. She was delivering the donkey burger to the Demon Palace. However, as soon as she arrived there, several auras exploded like a volcano around her. The incomparable violent force washed over her like waves. In an instant, the surrounding area of the Demon Palace was enveloped by the overwhelming demon cloud.
“I, Zi Qingfan, King of the Heavenly Lion, have come for a marriage proposal!”
“You must be the Demon Queen. I’m the Manic Wolf King. May we get to know each other?”
“All of you make way for me. I, Earth-shattering Dragon King, is willing to marry into your family!”
All of the demons were looking at Little Fox with earnest, burning passion in their eyes.
Looking at them, a devilish smile suddenly broke out of Little Fox’s face. She took out a chessboard and said, “My, look at how enthusiastic you all are. How about we play a game of chess?”
Meanwhile, Dragin and Qin Manyun were also engaged in a battle at the Eastern Sea and the Linxian Palace respectively. The forces from the outside world would more or less test the original forces in the Area of the Gods. However, after these skirmishes, similar occurrences had become less frequent.
The newcomers had discovered that although many of the sects in the Area of the Gods looked weak, they possessed endless unusual methods to defeat them. Not only that, the sects presented a united front by helping each other out and they all had the backing of the Heavenly Palace. If they did not subside, the newcomers would surely run into the risk of being annihilated. Therefore, news of the local forces of the Area of the Gods and how they should not be messed with gradually spread.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the fourth dimension was the stronghold of the Wang family. An old man sat in the main hall surrounded by a weird aura. By his side, the space was rippling like water. A person with sensitive divine consciousness would surely notice traces of the Origins being extracted by the old man as he gradually refined it into himself.
The old man was Wang Teng, patriarch of the Wang family. The other elders looked at Wang Teng and their eyes suddenly showed surprise and expectation.
“I can feel it, the Origins aura really appeared around the master!”
“So it’s true that the master has a magical secret technique that can extract the Origins!”
“Hahaha, the Wang family’s lucky indeed to have come across such a huge opportunity!”
During the discussion, Wang Teng opened his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up into an excited smile. “Rest assured that I’ll also teach you these secrets. You’ll do well to monitor the Origins in the third dimension. From now on, we’ll integrate the Origins from the third, fourth, and fifth dimension into our bodies and we’ll definitely become invincible by then!”
Everyone in the Wang Family was overjoyed when they heard that they could learn such secret methods.
“Master, what about the seventh dimension?” asked one of the elders.
Wang Teng shook his head and asked instead, “Have you received any news about the seventh dimension?”
“Master, all the forces who dared to attack the seventh dimension will inevitably encounter inexplicable suppression. There are rumors that there’s a very powerful expert there,” answered the elder.
Wang Teng nodded, seemingly not surprised at all. He said indifferently, “Hehe, it’s just as I expected! I got a warning from ‘God’ that there’s a special existence in the seventh dimension who we shouldn’t provoke for the time being.”
“Ah, I see.”
“On second thought, the seventh dimension is indeed a bit weird.”
The others nodded solemnly.
“But sooner or later, we have to take down the seventh dimension. At present, we’ll only need to conduct some investigation, analyze the power distribution there, and look for opportunities to get rid of them one by one!” continued Wang Teng.
“Rest assured, master, that we’re doing all that as we speak,” said the elder.
“Also, it might not only be the Wang family who received the favor of ‘God’. I hope you won’t let me down,” said Wang Teng.
“Don’t worry, master. The Wang family’s destined to rule over all seven dimensions.”
Today, at the Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint in the Heavenly Palace, Li Nianfan came to the terrace as soon as the sun on the horizon poked its head out of the clouds.
He came personally to deliver the donkey burger to the people of Heavenly Palace and stayed a few days in the Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint to make full use of it. He was bathed in the sun, facing the morning glow, overlooking the entire Area of the Gods. It was said that the higher up one was, the further one could see, and from where he was standing, he could see everything.
Compared to the last time, the Area of the Gods seemed to have changed again, and the landscape of the area had become more complicated. After enjoying the spectacular scenery for a while, Daji and Fire Phoenix came to the terrace and greeted Li Nianfan, “Good morning, Master.”
“Good morning.” Li Nianfan smiled and nodded. Then, he said, “I’m going to do morning exercises, how about you?”
Daji chuckled and said, “We’re joining you, of course.”
“Let’s begin then.” Li Nianfan immediately got into a stance and began his morning exercises.
Daji and Fire Phoenix followed him, their movements as skilled as his. It was obvious they had been practicing for a long time. Their movements were very slow but there was no sense of awkwardness in them. On the contrary, they seemed to have become one heaven and earth, moving along with the flow of nature.
At this time, Juling Shen passed by with a team of patrolling Heavenly Soldiers. Seeing this scene, he immediately stopped and his body began to copy their movements, seemingly moving by its own accord.
The immortals beside the Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint also noticed this scene, and they, too, began to do morning exercises. When other people saw these immortals doing the morning exercise, they also started to act accordingly.
At this moment, the aura of Wisdom flowed and gathered into a power of heaven and earth, covering the entire Heavenly Palace, making all the immortals tremble. The morning exercise spread farther and farther, and it seemed that there was some kind of strange magic that made it irresistible for them to follow the path of Dao.
At the Lingxiao Palace, both the Jade Emperor and the Empress abandoned their usual morning ritual and started doing the morning exercise, too. Then, the Yue Lao Pavilion, the Palace of the Finance Gods, the Food God’s Hall, the Southern Sky Gate, the Northern Sky Gate….and many others joined in, too.
Throughout the Heavenly Palace, all the immortals were doing their morning exercises leisurely while somewhere not far from there, a terrifying battle was breaking out.
The Soul Master’s face was ice-cold. With a flick of her wrist, endless Wisdom gathered at her fingertips and she launched a palm strike at the Elite King. She had been chasing him from the River of Time until this point. She had to suppress him no matter what!
Elite King’s body had been contaminated by the unknown gray mist and there would be endless trouble if she let him get away. Elite King sneered and he was no longer just running away but counterattacking with his fists. The coercion from him was much stronger than the previous few days. After being eroded by the gray mist, his strength had nearly recovered to its peak.
“Soul Master, you really dare to chase me, Heaven, all the way?! You’ve sealed me for countless years, die now!” Elite King’s face became distorted and a faintly gray misty face emerged. Grinning, he threw a punch at the Soul Master.
However, this punch froze mid-air and Elite King began to show signs of struggle.
“One thought extinguishes the sky, one finger traverses the years, I’m invincible in both life and death! I’m… Elite King! Who dares to manipulate me! Ah—!” He roared furiously as a terrifying aura raged around like a tsunami. He then madly rushed toward the Area of the Gods.
