Chapter 150: The Great Cmity Approaches, News from the Moon Watching Continent


    "..."


    The Master of Cloud Court remained silent.


    He didn’t quite understand.


    The Dragon King with a crooked mouth? What does that mean?


    "Sigh, there''s definitely a generation gap between us and you old folks," Qi Yuan sighed upon seeing the Master of Cloud Court remain reticent.


    He hade to understand something.


    No wonder the "white moonlight" always remained "white moonlight" and could never be elevated—it''s because of the generation gap due to old age.


    The Master of Cloud Court''s mouth twitched. "Senior, you sure know how to joke."


    As he spoke, he looked toward Huang Tu beside him. "Could Senior perhaps spare this young man''s life as a favor to me?"


    At this moment, Huang Tu’s eyes were filled with intense fear.


    How could the blood-robed man before him possibly be the Blood-Robed Sword God? The Blood-Robed Sword God, who was like a nightmare, someone he wished to tear apart and devour, was standing right next to him, yet he didn’t dare to harbor any resentment; his body was trembling uncontrobly.


    This was because the Blood-Robed Sword God was truly a fearsome killer.


    "Why should I do you this favor? He wanted to kill me, so I killed him. That''s only natural," Qi Yuan replied nonchntly, ncing at Huang Tu.


    The geniuses around Huang Tu felt as if they were plunged into an icy pit. They quickly distanced themselves from him, viewing him as a gue.


    "If Senior kills Huang Tu, then... it will be difficult to reconcile with the Bright Pce," the Master of Cloud Court warned. "This battle of geniuses is crucial, and Huang Tu is the only hope for the Bright Pce to make it into the top twenty."


    "Oh, he’s from the Bright Pce? And he’s that important to them?" Qi Yuan was surprised.


    No wonder Huang Tu looked familiar—it turned out he was a junior from the "white moonlight."


    "More important than a Purple Mansion cultivator, even...parable to a Pce Master," the Master of Cloud Court emphasized Huang Tu’s significance.


    It seemed that he genuinely wanted to save Huang Tu.


    Hoping that the Blood-Robed Sword God would spare his life for this reason.


    Qi Yuan was speechless. So the people of the Bright Pce couldn’t survive without Huang Tu? Can’t they just watch a video?


    A cold smile appeared on Qi Yuan’s face. "All the more reason to kill him."


    With a flick of his finger, a spell flew toward Huang Tu.


    The Master of Cloud Court’s face changed, and he tried to intervene.


    Unfortunately, the gap in strength between him and the Blood-Robed Sword God was too great; he couldn’t stop Qi Yuan’s attack.


    Even if he tried, he would be injured.


    The spell struck, and Huang Tu''s gaze froze.


    His body went limp, copsing to the ground, lifeless.


    The Master of Cloud Court’s face grew particrly grim.


    The geniuses present were all terrified.


    This Blood-Robed Sword God was beyond reason.


    He truly killed this genius!


    He didn’t care at all about being criticized for bullying the weak.


    With Huang Tu dead, the Master of Cloud Court sighed. "Senior, was it necessary to strain rtions with the Bright Pce like this?"


    Qi Yuan didn’t respond to the Master of Cloud Court but instead pped his hands and looked at Rogue Immortal Sovereign. "Another one bites the dust. Your rank on the genius list just went up a notch. How far are you from the main list now? Want me to kill a few more?"


    Upon hearing this, the other geniuses turned pale with fear, retreating several steps.


    Was this Blood-Robed Sword God insane?


    Rogue Immortal Sovereign waspletely stunned. He forced a smile that looked worse than crying. "No... no need."


    Beside him, Gao Jien stood frozen, not daring to move.


    If it weren’t for the presence of two Purple Mansion cultivators, he would have already rushed over to ask his junior brother what the deal was with this Blood-Robed Sword God.


    The Master of Cloud Court looked at Qi Yuan and slowly spoke, "Actually, there’s another message from the Bright Pce that they asked me to convey to Senior."


    "Are you ackey of the Bright Pce?" A wave of killing intent swept over Qi Yuan.


    After all, it was the "white moonlight," very valuable.


    "No, no," sweat formed on the Master of Cloud Court''s forehead as he sensed a crisis. "I have no affiliation with the Bright Pce."


    Hearing this, the killing intent around Qi Yuan faded.


    "Senior, could we speak privately?" the Master of Cloud Court suggested.


    Some things are best not transmitted in public.


    "Hmm, alright. We can even take two steps," Qi Yuan nodded, then looked at Rogue Immortal Sovereign. "Rogue Immortal Sovereign, when the Fish Dragon Gold Pill Dance begins, make sure to record it for me. Thanks."


    After speaking, Qi Yuan and the Master of Cloud Court disappeared, leaving behind a crowd of awestruck and terrified geniuses.


    Rogue Immortal Sovereign sat there dazed, his mind a mess.


    The other geniuses looked at him with envy.


    Gao Jien quickly transmitted a message, asking, "Junior Brother, what’s going on with this Blood-Robed Sword God and the Bright Pce? Should we make a run for it and head back to Thunder Realm Continent?"


    "Senior Brother... I’m not really sure either," Rogue Immortal Sovereign replied, still feeling confused.


    Meanwhile, in the cavern, a faint incense burned, giving the entire residence a touch of immortal aura.


    Qi Yuan, d in a blood-red robe, blood energy emanating from him, looked at the Master of Cloud Court. "Speak, what is it?"


    "Sigh, Senior should not have killed Huang Tu. This haspletely offended the Bright Pce," the Master of Cloud Court began.


    "I''ve already offended them," Qi Yuan said indifferently.


    He was nning to destroy the Bright Pce anyway; why would he care about offending them? What’s the point of fearing dead enemies?


    Even in this world of cultivation, if he destroyed his enemies'' bodies and souls, they couldn’te back as ghosts.


    "Senior may not know how important it is for the Bright Pce to have someone enter the top twenty in this Eastern Continent Geniuses Battle."


    "Isn''t it just to gain entry into a new world?" Qi Yuan asked, surprised.


    The Master of Cloud Court was taken aback. "If Senior knows that, then shouldn''t you know what it implies?"


    "Oh? What does it imply?" Qi Yuan asked, confused. "Don’t give me riddles; just exin."


    The Master of Cloud Court’s heart skipped a beat.


    It seemed the Blood-Robed Sword God truly didn’t know.


    But... shouldn’t every top power in each continent, or at least the legitimate major forces, be aware of this?


    Could it be... the Blood-Robed Sword God is just a rogue cultivator?


    Thinking this, the Master of Cloud Court grew even more respectful.


    He hesitated. "Senior, this matter involves the secrets of heaven. I really can’t say. If I did, I might die on the spot. I can only tell you eight words: ''The great cmity approaches, prepare early.''"


    "A great cmity?" Qi Yuan was surprised.


    But he didn’t press further.


    Judging by the Master of Cloud Court''s expression, there was no point in asking.


    "This time, the Eastern Continent has discovered a new world. The three... Yin Gods of the Eastern Continent have decided that any sect or force with a genius in the top twenty will have the opportunity to enter this new world and expand their territory," the Master of Cloud Court continued.


    "The Eastern Continent has three Yin Gods?" Qi Yuan asked.


    That was what interested him.


    "Such a secret is beyond my knowledge," the Master of Cloud Court shook his head, not expecting the Blood-Robed Sword God to ask that.


    "How powerful are Yin Gods? Can ten thousand of you kill one Yin God?" Qi Yuan asked again.


    "Ahem..." The Master of Cloud Court was embarrassed. "Senior, please don’t put me on the spot. Yin Gods... are practically like deities in this world. I can’t even begin to fathom such a realm, let alone make anyparison."


    "What if I pulled the sun out of the sky and smashed it on a Yin God? Could that kill them?" Qi Yuan asked again.


    The Master of Cloud Court was sweating profusely.


    Why was this Blood-Robed Sword God so obsessed with challenging Yin Gods? The first thing he wanted to do was attack a Yin God.


    He had to admit, the Blood-Robed Sword God''s strength was formidable, perhaps nearly on par with the Master of Ascension Pavilion.


    However, Yin Gods and Purple Mansion cultivators were entirely different levels.


    One was still cultivating to be an immortal, while the other was already akin to a celestial being.


    "It should be able to smash them to death..." the Master of Cloud Court awkwardly replied.


    Hearing this, Qi Yuan felt reassured. "By the way, what is this new world? How strong are its inhabitants?"


    "The Moonwatch Continent, its strength is weak. The strongest there areparable to the Infant Soul stage in our Cann Realm. So, the top twenty geniuses of the Eastern Continent could easily sweep through the Moonwatch Continent."


    "Moonwatch Continent?" Qi Yuan’s eyelids twitched.


    He didn’t expect to hear the name of that world.


    Wasn’t that the world from the game he had yed? The ce where he had formed his Heavenly Dao Foundation?


    Jinli...


    Was it the same name or the same ce?


    His heart was in turmoil, though he appeared calm. "Do I have the qualifications to go to the Moonwatch Continent?"


    "Senior, the matter decided by the three Yin Gods is unchangeable. You must be in the top twenty of the Eastern Continent Geniuses Battle to have a chance to enter the Moonwatch Continent."


    "Hmm, understood," Qi Yuan said, still feeling a bit unsettled. "I’m leaving."


    With a sh, he disappeared.


    Leaving behind the Master of Cloud Court with a wry smile.


    "Sigh, it seems the grudge between the Blood-Robed Sword God and the Bright Pce is irreconcble now."


    ...


    The Bright Pce.


    The Third Pce Master, Zizhu, stood with a respectful expression, though her eyes held a trace of killing intent. "First Pce Master, Huang Tu... was killed by the Blood-Robed Sword God!"


    The First Pce Master was enveloped in light, making it impossible to see his face. All that could be known was that this was a towering figure of a man.


    "I know," the First Pce Master responded calmly. "I’ve already arranged a meeting with the Blood-Robed Sword God through the Eastern Continent Branch Master of the Divine Flower Society. We’ll sit down and have a proper talk."


    "Still talking?" The Third Pce Master was perplexed, her face twisted with anger. "He killed Huang Tu, cutting off one of our escape routes!"


    "The great cmity approaches; everything must be done ording to n. We can’t afford to be bogged down by such trivial matters. If we need to retreat, we retreat. It’s just a matter of losing some face," the First Pce Master stated calmly.


    "Unless the Blood-Robed Sword God walks into our headquarters, there’s no point in wasting manpower trying to surround and kill him. Why do something so futile? This matter should end here."


    He, too, wanted to kill the Blood-Robed Sword God.


    If the Blood-Robed Sword God were toe to the Bright Pce headquarters, with the help of multiple Purple Mansion cultivators and the Emperor’s Extreme Dragon Crown, he could easily ensure the Blood-Robed Sword God had no way out.


    However, the Blood-Robed Sword God was no fool; why would he walk into a trap?


    So, the First Pce Master could only consider shaking hands with the Blood-Robed Sword God for now.


    "Before returning, I personally visited that one. He said that our Bright Pce could take in another disciple. Xu Tongchen’s talent far surpasses Huang Tu''s. He will definitely make it into the top twenty, maybe even the top ten. We’ll take Seven Words Sect’s spot," the First Pce Master dered decisively, sealing the fate of the Seven Words Sect with a single sentence.


    As for whether the Seven Words Sect would agree, that wasn’t his concern.


    ...


    The next day.


    With a nervous heart, Xu Tongchen arrived once more outside Qi Yuan’s cavern.


    This time, unlike before, it seemed that Qi Yuan and his two friends were ying chess.


    At this moment, Qi Yuan held a ck piece, contemting his next move.


    "Qi Yuan... Daoist, long time no see." Xu Tongchen looked at Qi Yuan, his legs trembling involuntarily.


    Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary man, with whom he had cultivated daily, was now the infamous Blood-Robed Sword God of Cann Continent?


    His odd behavior caught Jiang Ya’s attention. She nced at Xu Tongchen, then back at Qi Yuan, pondering something.


    Qi Yuan gave Xu Tongchen a nce. "Come and sit. I''ll go cultivate with you once this game is over."


    Hearing this, Xu Tongchen sat down beside Qi Yuan.


    Opposite Qi Yuan was Kang Fulu, who now ced his ck piece and looked at Qi Yuan with satisfaction. "Junior Brother, you’ve lost this game."


    Qi Yuan looked at the board and could only shake his head. "Seems I’m only good at ying Gomoku."


    Jiang Ya, sitting nearby, smiled softly.


    Qi Yuan and Kang Fulu were both quite poor at chess.


    Kang Fulu looked even more pleased with himself, but then something urred to him, and he asked, "Junior Brother, you didn’t attend the Fish Dragon Banquet yesterday, did you? I didn’t see you there."


    "I did attend," Qi Yuan replied. "You were with Senior Sister Jiang Ya at the time, and... Xu Tongchen was also there."


    "Strange, why didn’t I see you?" Kang Fulu wondered. He turned to Xu Tongchen, "Daoist Xu, did you see my junior brother?"


    Yesterday, he had attended the Fish Dragon Banquet with Jiang Ya and Xu Tongchen, with whom he had a passing acquaintance.


    "I... I did see him," Xu Tongchen replied, sneaking a nce at Qi Yuan. He didn’t know how to answer.


    Should he say, "Your junior brother is the terrifying Blood-Robed Sword God"?


    "Oh dear, Daoist Xu, you saw my junior brother and didn’t tell me? Were you too intimidated by the killing intent of the Blood-Robed Sword God?" Kang Fulu’s expression grew serious.


    "This Blood-Robed Sword God... he and I both hail from the Hundred Nations. His strength is truly terrifying. I wonder where he ughtered so many people to cultivate such blood energy. Such a peerless killer is probably quite reclusive. Most people wouldn’t dare stay near him for long. Who knows when the Blood-Robed Sword God might kill them?"


    Xu Tongchen remained silent, unsure of how to respond.


    Qi Yuan looked at Kang Fulu. "Senior Brother, the Blood-Robed Sword God is actually a nice person. He’s not interested in killing young people; he only likes killing old folks."


    Kang Fulu rolled his eyes at Qi Yuan. He had seen the Blood-Robed Sword God kill geniuses as if they were nothing. What would a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like Qi Yuan know about the Blood-Robed Sword God?


    "Alright, you two should go cultivate," he said, toozy to argue with Qi Yuan.


    "Okay," Qi Yuan agreed.


    Last time, he had felt a resonance with the True Sun Fire.


    This time, he intended to fully grasp the True Sun Fire.


    Following Qi Yuan, Xu Tongchen entered the cavern.


    This time, his mindset waspletely different from before.


    Previously, he had treated Qi Yuan as an equal, but as a genius ranked in the top thirty, his pride asionally surfaced.


    But now, all that pride was gone, reced entirely by reverence and fear.


    "Bring out the True Sun Fire. This time, I mustprehend it," Qi Yuan ordered.


    Hearing the senior''smand, Xu Tongchen immediately summoned the True Sun Fire.


    Qi Yuan''s expression became serious and focused as he entered the zone.


    Before him, the True Sun Fire, dark within and bright on the outside, emitted a golden glow.


    Qi Yuan stared at the True Sun Fire as if he were standing within a sun itself.


    Inside the sun, powerful mes burned furiously, as if they could incinerate everything.


    The mes seemed to notice Qi Yuan’s presence, burning even more fiercely, looking more excited.


    Almost as if a daughter had met her sugar daddy.


    "True Sun Fire, you are my True Sun Fire," Qi Yuan murmured, repeating the phrase.


    Suddenly, a spark of the True Sun Fire leaped out, flying into Qi Yuan’s hand.


    Qi Yuan''s eyes brightened, a flicker of me dancing in his pupils.


    A look of joy appeared on his face. "I’veprehended the True Sun Fire!"


    Hearing this, Xu Tongchen was shocked, but remembering that this was the Blood-Robed Sword God, his surprise diminished somewhat. "Congrattions, Senior! Congrattions!"


    In truth, Xu Tongchen was also curious.


    Why would a Purple Mansion powerhouse who had alreadyprehended his primordial divine ability still be interested in learning his True Sun Fire?


    Even if he mastered it, it would only be a powerful ordinary divine ability, useful only for killing Infant Souls, and would be useless against a fellow Purple Mansion cultivator.


    Of course, these thoughts stayed in his mind; he would never voice them.


    "It’s been tough for you, but it’s a win-win," Qi Yuan said casually.


    He was well aware that standing next to him had nourished the True Sun Fire for Xu Tongchen.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    The other guy must have thought of him as an old man.


    But Qi Yuan didn’t care.


    "Senior... then I’ll take my leave," Xu Tongchen hesitated before testing the waters.


    "Hmm," Qi Yuan nodded. He knew Xu Tongchen had recognized his identity but didn’t mind.


    After all, Xu Tongchen’s teacher was a member of his music band.


    When he went to take down the Bright Pce, he’d have to bring him along.


    After Xu Tongchen left, Qi Yuan entered the Divine Flower Society’s jade slip once more.


    During this period, he had been posting on the Divine Flower Society forum, live-streaming his ns to destroy the Bright Pce.


    Many people had supported him.


    This time, he logged in with his main ount and entered the Divine Flower Society Four Emperors chat group.


    As soon as he joined, he saw Rogue Immortal Sovereign bragging.


    "You guys don’t know, Origin Heavenly Lord is a true big shot!"


    "When I met him initially, he was so down-to-earth that I thought he was a total newbie. Then, when the Purple Mansion cultivators appeared, they acted like dogs in front of Origin Heavenly Lord! I waspletely shocked! Origin Heavenly Lord is a true big shot!"


    "Before he left, Origin Heavenly Lord asked me to record the Fish Dragon Gold Pill Dance. And during the performance, I was allowed to stand right on the stage. If it weren’t for so many people... no, if it weren’t for remembering Origin Celestial Lord’s instructions, I would have done something... inappropriate."


    "I could tell from the beginning that Origin Heavenly Lord wasn’t ordinary. I’m just waiting for the Bright Pce to be destroyed," Ice Empressmented in the group.


    "Ice Empress, you won’t have to wait long. My n to destroy the Bright Pce is already in its final stages. In a few days, I’ll go and annihte them," Qi Yuan said seriously.


    By now, everyone in the Bright Pce had retreated to their headquarters.


    It was said that the First Pce Master would return soon, and Qi Yuan intended to wipe them out in one fell swoop.


    "Wow, the big shot is here! Let me pour you some tea!" Rogue Immortal weed him warmly.


    "Origin Heavenly Lord, you’re here?" Great Sun me Emperor sent a message in the group.


    Qi Yuan saw that his private messages were blinking.


    It was a message from the Great Sun me Emperor.


    "Origin Heavenly Lord, are you really going to destroy the Bright Pce?"


    "Hmm, the n is already in motion; how could it be left unfinished?" Qi Yuan replied.


    He was curious why the Great Sun me Emperor would private message him.


    "The Bright Pce is no ordinary force. It has deep ties with a Yin God," the Great Sun me Emperor cautioned.


    "Even if the Buddha himself showed up, he couldn’t stop me!" Qi Yuan dered.


    Seeing this, the Great Sun me Emperor knew that Origin Celestial Lord had made up his mind. He said:


    "Your conflict with the Bright Pce has caught the attention of the higher-ups in the Divine Flower Society. The Society’s President will likely try to add your Blood-Robed Sword God ount as a friend."


    "Is that so? I’ll checkter and ept the request."


    It''s important to give face to a forum moderator, after all.


    "Origin Celestial Lord... if a Yin God from the Bright Pcees after you, just mention the name Feng Jun (Wind Monarch). It might save you from a cmity," the Great Sun me Emperor finally advised.


    To be honest, he didn’t think Origin Heavenly Lord could actually destroy the Bright Pce.


    He feared that Origin Heavenly Lord’s temperament might provoke that Yin God.
