Chapter 330 Inconstancy of Human Relationships
When Lyu Liang heard that, he looked very solemn, while his heart also sank horribly. He immediately shook his head and said, “I’m pretty sure the transmission formation is okay! The powerful figure who made the transmission formation for me is not only my master, but has also saved my life. He will never hurt me! Well, maybe, some deviations occurred when the transmission formation was made…”
As he said that, he himself even laughed bitterly and shook his head to deny that situation. For cultivators in such a high level like him, his words seemed to be a complete joke.
That kind of high-ranked transmission formation had extremely strict requirements on the layout techniques and the materials. It should be perfectly precise, or it would not transmit anything out, with even the slightest deviation! Unless the founding father of Sword Character had made a mistake on purpose beforehand, it was impossible that the transmission formation itself would deviate.
“Your master, Tai Chu Ancestor Lord, won’t do anything bad to you. He is such a well-known powerful figure in the space of the Goddess Nyu Wa, and is known for his uprightness. He’ll never hurt you.” The girl said that to assure them, but then she continued in a deep voice, “Since the array unit is fine, then somebody must have changed the moving track of the passage with the skills of space shift, while you were being transmitted!”
“Huh? What kind of achievements on Space Law does one need in order to do that…” Lyu Liang was stunned. He’d never heard that kind of secret skills before!
“In this world, as far as I know, there is only one powerful figure from the Human Clan who can use the skills, but no one knows where she is, for a long time. She is the only person who is deeply worshipped by all the clans. Without her help, there is no way for so many prosperous worlds to exist in the age.” Her eyes shining expectantly, she continued, “Her name is Goddess Nyu Wa.”
Hearing her words, Lyu Liang immediately recalled that beautiful, female cultivator with a quality of a person in power in the images about the ancient battle in the civilization remains.
“Well…” Lyu Liang also had no idea what to say, as it was also impossible that Goddess Nyu Wa would ruin the transmission formation.
“Of course, it is not her! It’s said that before senior Goddess Nyu Wa disappeared, she had left three volumes of heavenly books, in which were written the three kinds of unbelievable secret skills. A lot of powerful figures used to fight fiercely just to have a look at those skills during those years!” The girl gave Lyu Liang an angry stare, and then said softly, “Later, two volumes were collected by the Divine Ancestor Palace, and the last volume is still missing until now. I guess that missing volume should record the ‘Different Space Method’, with which senior Goddess Nyu Wa was known for, throughout the universe!”
“Someone got the Different Space Method and achieved many gains with it. And now the person belongs to some organization who is hostile toward me?” Lyu Liang frowned. Being watched by a person with such terrifying powers, he just felt he was really unlucky.
“That should be it. Those who’d come to the Mortal World to kill you, should be the people from the notorious Guangling Clan in the space of Goddess Nyu Wa. They live by selling the slaves. You’ve saved the Fox and Wolf Clan, and that would naturally bring about their killing intention for you.” The girl nodded and said again, “No matter who they are, you should be alert all the time, even you already have your own forces, as well as having us as your backup force! For, the killing of this level is no longer simply involving the attacks on the surface. Most of the time they would give you a deadly blow, the minute your weakness is exposed! So, once you leave this place, just keep being cautious as you always are. That has been your greatest strength all along.”
“Fairy sister, I’ll remember your words deep in my heart!” Lyu Liang bowed to her with great respect and heartfelt admiration. What she told him was very useful information, and her concerns for him, at the same time, had also deeply touched him.
Then, after pondering for a little while, Lyu Liang directly took out the remaining half Soul Bone and handed it to the girl, saying, “Senior Mo Jiao has done me a great favor, and now I’ve already broken through the limitations of Laws of Heavens on some level with this half Soul Bone. The remaining half, I hope you can take it and use it to further improve the power of the Demons Valley! What’s more, according to the history between you and senior Mo Jiao, the bone was supposed to be here in the first place!”
“Kid! I won’t stop you from doing anything, but this bone, you can’t leave it here! Since boss Mo Jiao has given it to you, you should be the only person having it!” Before the girl could say anything, Fatty already said it first, “And also a few strands of boss’s hair, you need to take it with you. When you reach the level of God Ancestor, you will get unexpected benefits from it!”
Fatty floated to Lyu Liang. He forced Lyu Liang’s hand back, and then directly handed him a few strands of hair, with a resolute expression on his face.
“Well, thank you very much, senior!” Lyu Liang knew the temper of the Demon Clan. They’d never do things dishonestly. If they said they did not want to take that, that was exactly what they meant.
10 days later, Lyu Liang got everything ready. Then he left the Demons Valley together with Liu Yu and other companions, and started to march formally into the Heaven Realm.
“Remember your tasks. Get into the marketplace and search, but keep a low profile! Pan Gu Heaven Realm could only be more dangerous than this place.” Lyu Liang warned his followers carefully, “Keep the token of the Demons Valley well, as it would be a life-saving straw when necessary. Like I said, we came together, so we must leave together!”
“Yes, sir! Don’t worry about us, boss!” Liu Yu cupped his fists, and then waved his hand, saying, “Now let’s split up. Be careful in Pan Gu Heaven Realm, everybody!”
After his shout, they all disappeared right on the spot. Lyu Liang took a deep breath. After exerting a couple of instantaneous flashes, he also flew out of the Demons Valley…
“Mmm, this is good.” Two days later, Lyu Liang was tasting the tea, while listening to music at the same time, in the upper hall of “Qingling Pavilion”. He was enjoying himself.
After all his followers had gone away, Lyu Liang also headed to the Heavenly Alliance alone. His plan was made according to Zhu Yu’s arrangements. He would try to become a high-ranked alien minister in the affiliated agency of the Heavenly Alliance, and then proceed to Pan Gu Heaven Realm to get some information.
The Heaven Realm linked up in a single stretch. Countless small countries were located inside it, with the living creatures of all clans staying together.
After flying for one day since Lyu Liang got out of the Demons Valley, he finally reached a big country named Fresh Wind Country, and rested there temporarily.
His first stop would naturally be the market place. The Heaven Realm was not a place that was totally strange to him, but he still had better get more information for future use.
Then he did get some useful information in that country. He had originally intended to go directly to the affiliated agency of the Heavenly Alliance, and apply for a high-ranked alien minister, but he was told that he needed to get a qualification first in some affiliated agency of the Heavenly Alliance, and then he could go to the territory of the affiliated agency with it.
There were four affiliated agencies in that part of the Heaven Realm, one of which was in Fresh Wind Country.
Since he knew that, he did not need to hurry, he took his time to enjoy some leisurely activities that he had not done, for a long time.
He had been facing countless fights to the death and cultivating hard all the time. It had been a long time since he enjoyed some leisure time, like a mortal in the past.
“If I could choose again, I really wish I’ve never chosen to cultivate to become an immortal.” Lyu Liang shook his head, while laughing bitterly. “But now… It seems there is no other choice for me.”
“You regret it, man?” White asked lightly.
“Well, a little bit. But when I think about it, I will never quit! After all, I’ve already come so far.” Lyu Liang stretched himself. Then he gave his body a quick shake and the laziness was gone.
“It’s been two days. When will we leave?” White continued asking. Then he said brightly, “The girl has a nice voice. Her song sounds great. I didn’t expect you to have such good taste.”
“You don’t say! I’ve never heard such a beautiful song too.” Lyu Liang took in a breath greedily, turned to look at the center of the hall, and said, “Today will be the last time. I’ll go to the affiliated agency here to try my luck tomorrow. But now, just let me enjoy this a little longer! It’s rare to hear such a good song, and it’s even rarer to hear such a charming girl playing it!”
In the center of the hall, a white-robed young girl, wearing a fine gauze mask, was holding a pipa in her arms and playing melodious songs, one after another. Almost all the guests there were enjoying her music, which showed that she had a solid foundation in playing and her songs were really touching.
The interesting thing was that Lyu Liang could not get a clear view of the girl, even with the help of Little Tian. That fine gauze was supposedly an assisting magic treasure with the Power of Law in it.
Once Lyu Liang arrived in that place, he was immediately attracted to her songs. The music was like one kind of medium, reminding him of all the warm scenes when he was in the mortal world. The peace and comfort at the time was even more precious for Lyu Liang, who had been through so many death traps in the past!
“I have to go. If I keep listening, I’m afraid my Taoist Heart will even decline.” One hour later, Lyu Liang looked at the girl who was still playing, for the last time, and then finally got up to leave. It seemed that the girl also turned her head slightly toward him…
When he got out of the Qingling Pavilion, Lyu Liang did not hesitate anymore, and directly headed to the affiliated agency of the Heavenly Alliance that he had inquired about earlier.
“I’m Lyu Liang from the Mortal World of the Chaotic World, and want to meet the person in charge here.” Before a golden light curtain, Lyu Liang cupped his fists respectfully and calmly stated this to the two yellow-robed men, guarding the gate.
The two men had been quite idle there, but when they heard Lyu Liang’s words, they were instantly stunned. The next second, one of them, with a sudden flash from his hand, took out a scroll. They unfolded the scroll and looked at it, while glancing at Lyu Liang at the same time. They were obviously comparing something.
“Eh? Is there something wrong?” Almost 30 minutes had passed, Lyu Liang could not wait any longer and asked, seeing that they still had no intention to entertain him.
“Lyu Liang! You are truly Lyu Liang, who has the Dreamy Crystal Vessel, right? Hahaha, I’m lucky!” One of them pounced on Lyu Liang and immediately grasped his arm, with an expression as if he’d found precious deposits.
“What do you mean by saying that you are lucky? I’m also lucky, all right?” The other one also grasped Lyu Liang’s other arm, as if he was afraid that his companion would take credit for everything.
Lyu Liang winced, and tried to say peacefully, “Could you please get your boss for me?”
“Hahaha, no need to report! Taoism peer Lyu is here, but pardon my delayed greetings!” While Lyu Liang was still being grasped by the two men, an old but excited laugh could be heard. Then there was an opening in the golden light curtain, whereupon a golden-robed old man with five other people behind him, walked out. They bowed respectfully to Lyu Liang as soon as they saw him.
“I’m here for the first time, and may have disturbed you, so please forgive me, senior!” Lyu Liang was stunned at his words. He immediately got rid of the two men clinging to him, and bowed to the people in front of him, with a much lower bow.
“I’m Monk Tianhuang, one of the five Great Elders in the affiliated agency of the Chaotic Heavenly Alliance. Is Taoism peer Lyu here with the intention to join us?” The golden-robed old man said expectantly, “I’ve ordered the guards for the passage Bounded Domain to keep an eye on the people coming to the passage, and intended to greet you in the doorway of the passage, so that I could lead you to the site of the affiliated agency! Well, those guards… They just piss me off!”
Lyu Liang frowned slightly. Although Monk Tianhuang was an authority in the affiliated agency of the Heavenly Alliance, whom Lyu Liang would like to build a relationship with, but the greed that flashed in his eyes made Lyu Liang feel very uncomfortable.
“It’s true that I am here to join the Heavenly Alliance, but I’ve got a lot of things to deal with. I can’t be a permanent member here, and want to apply to be an alien minister. That would be a great favor to me. Senior, could you please grant my request, or there are some tests for me to pass?” Lyu Liang had decided to keep a low profile from the very beginning. He controlled his cultivation aura to the Early-stage Supreme Master. The people in front of him all looked old enough to be his grandfather, so he also saluted to them as a junior.
“Alien minister?” Monk Tianhuang was surprised, but then he still said with a smile, “That’s okay! It’s not a problem for me! Come on, let’s go inside. It’s improper to keep you outside!”
Then, before Lyu Liang could say anything, they escorted him behind the light curtain together, as if he was a super star. There was a resplendent and magnificent palace inside. Lyu Liang was first led to sit in the top position, but he did not sit there, whatever those people said. As a result, Monk Tianhuang sat in the top position, and Lyu Liang sat beside him, being a reluctant number two temporarily.
However, Lyu Liang felt even more embarrassed later. Before Lyu Liang spoke, the people there just could not wait to flatter him by saying how heroic he had been, when he saved the Chaotic World. Gradually, what they said just got wilder. At last, Lyu Liang had become an Almighty, who could defeat anybody in the universe, and even the Divine Ancestors would quiver before him…
“Taoism peer Lyu, could you please let us take a look at your Dreamy Crystal Vessel that could even make the universe shake?” After Monk Tianhuang “casually” asked that question, everyone stared at Lyu Liang eagerly.
“That… explains it.” Lyu Liang was stunned, and then understood their intention.
The Dreamy Crystal Vessel had been completely destroyed in the final fight to death during his eleventh generation, when he did his resolution of ten generations. That was a secret, which he just told the people who were close to him. And later, the battle involving the three realms ended soon. Then, after finishing his closed door meditation, he directly went to the Nether Big World. Therefore, the destruction of the Dreamy Crystal Vessel was not made known publicly. That was why few people there knew about that.
“The Dreamy Crystal Vessel… I’m sorry, but at the end of the battle of the three realms, it has been completely destroyed for some reason.” Lyu Liang threw up his hands and said this helplessly.
“What? Destroyed? How?” Monk Tianhuang narrowed his eyes and asked hastily.
Lyu Liang did not try to hide the information either. He generally described the important points how he’d entered the Ominous Darkness Soul Kill Array by accident, and how he fought desperately to find a way out. But, as he kept narrating the story, the people around just reacted differently.
In the beginning, all the people, including Monk Tianhuang, were leaning over him. But as he said more, they were shocked, and their bodies then leant backward at the same time. Especially in the end when they heard that the Dreamy Crystal Vessel was destroyed, some of them even looked disdainful.
“So, your Dreamy Crystal Vessel was indeed destroyed?” Monk Tianhuang asked coldly, and glanced sideways at him, saying, “Early-stage Supreme Master… Reaching that level within 1,000 years. You can be said to be a genius. But… I almost forgot. There are too many people applying for the alien minister. The recommended places for it in 10 years have been all filled. If you are still interested, come back and try again 10 years later. Right now, we still have something to discuss here, so we won’t keep you. Somebody, please see Taoism peer Lyu out!”
“What…” Lyu Liang never expected that an authority in the affiliated agency of the Heavenly Alliance would simply turn against him for such a reason. Before he had time to say something, two big men with a cultivation of Middle-stage Supreme Master came to him and directly made a gesture of “please”, while a tremendous aura burst forth from their bodies at the same time.
Lyu Liang opened his mouth and wanted to say something. But then he felt disappointed and disgusted with them, and just could not bring himself to say anything more. After saluting them with cupped fists, he directly rushed out, without even looking back.
When he was near the gate, he clearly heard sneers from behind, “He would never reach that level without the great civilization remains. He has improved his cultivation fast, but is only a Supreme Master… Well, we were happy for nothing. I thought we could please our boss Night Dragon with him being here!”
