Chapter 417: Chapter 1 Kui Tian Monarch
The Spirit World disappeared, but the pair of eyes that appeared before it vanished caused Wang Sheng to fall into deep thought.
“First, eyes like parasites appeared on the vortex, then a pair looking like they were spying…”
The appearance of the eyes made Wang Sheng sigh.
“Another thing beyond my control.”
He couldn’t be sure before, but after investigating some things before the vortex disappeared, he was clear that the eyes were definitely not a derivation of the vortex itself; they were external, posing a significant problem.
“This vortex has already disappeared, so let’s see the next vortex… Other empires should also have a Spirit World.”
This gave him an opportunity to learn from mistakes.
“Let’s wait for the Taiping Sect to reorganize, and then we’ll discuss later matters.”
He wanted to achieve his objective but also didn’t want to be without any principles; thus, the Taiping Sect was the best method to eliminate the Spirit World, and it might have many uses later on.
After looking at the Void once more and finding truly nothing existed anymore, Wang Sheng withdrew Chang Zai’s power and returned to Qingshan Village.
He still hadn’t figured out what exactly had been pushed out by the Spirit World, and the people inside Qingshan Village had also accepted that thing; it could be studied and observed over a long period.
Other than that was the situation outside.
“The disappearance of this Spirit World will probably have a significant impact.”
Having lifted half of the restrictions, if it were a genius like Zhu Xiao, she might quickly surpass the Great Grandmaster and enter a new realm.
Of course, to progress, there was still a very serious problem.
After the Great Grandmaster, there were no defined realms in Qi Blood Martial Arts; only one Breakthrough Level master had mentioned that there were realms beyond the Great Grandmaster, but he did not specify how to break through.
“History is pushed forward by countless people, but it seems it’s not the same in the Cultivation World!”
“I wonder who will be the first to research the next realm…”
And outside, the situation was more or less as Wang Sheng had guessed.
After the Spirit World disappeared, the very top group of people soon sensed some abnormalities.
“What has Wang Sheng done this time, that so many restrictions have been lifted?” Zhu Xiao was the first to realize that another portion of limitations had been lifted.
She had thought it would be like before when only a small part could be lifted.
But after cultivating further, she found out that almost eighty percent had been lifted.
Initially, she encountered some bottlenecks, but now she felt that with some time, she could fully enter a new realm.
“Surpass the Great Grandmaster?”
Her heart was somewhat excited.
The Great Grandmaster was once the peak, and being a Master of Destiny was a barrier countless martial artists couldn’t cross, but now she could make great progress and possibly even achieve it with a hundred percent certainty.
“Is this the real state of cultivation?”
Zhu Xiao and Wang Sheng had communicated numerous times, knowing that cultivation in this world was abnormal.
It seemed to be getting back on track now, though not completely.
“But this is enough, a realm beyond the Great Grandmaster, whether it’s in Qi Blood Martial Arts or my path, has never appeared before… What should I name it?”
Apart from Zhu Xiao, the strongest person in this area was now Mo Yang.
Mo Yang’s dissolution of the Gan Dynasty was, of course, not smooth, but under absolute strength, no one could resist.
Of course, the Taiping Sect was not the kind that would exterminate all, except for a few families that could not possibly be forgiven; other families faced some punishments, but their legacies continued.
As for Mo Yang himself, he could no longer appear in the capacity of the Gan King.
Huangtian had originally wanted Mo Yang to join the Taiping Sect, but he was rejected.
Mo Yang, taking along his former subordinates and Xing, set out on a journey once more.
“My dream was always to be a ranger who rights wrongs; now I can truly return to my calling, and to be honest, making this decision has made me incredibly relieved—perhaps this is what I truly wanted.”
Xing’s reason for following Mo Yang was simple.
“Returning to the right path is the revelation I received; I always thought the dynasty was the right path, but after before, I might have a new answer now; I want to follow Xuan Yang and continue searching.”
As for the other subordinates, they were the same ones who initially followed Mo Yang, just because Mo Yang wanted to establish a dynasty, and now that the dynasty was gone, it was still the same.
Huangtian didn’t stop them; after all, Mo Yang and Xing had significant accomplishments.
A group set off on the road, Mo Yang being the strongest, having long reached the pinnacle Great Grandmaster level.
Not long after the restrictions were lifted, Mo Yang sensed something different, as if a great mountain had been removed.
“Xing, do you think there is a higher realm beyond the Great Grandmaster?”
Xing was startled, then thought of the Valley Master’s Jade Scroll.
“There is, there definitely is.”
Hearing this, Mo Yang realized something, laughed out loud, and his laughter grew louder.
“Hahaha, the dynasty, destroyed so well!”
Many strong people felt the same as Mo Yang; they weren’t foolish and guessed why they felt the way they did.
Soon, more people began to propagate that the Master of Destiny was just a rumor.
What did the dynasty matter if it could help them progress?
And those who could feel this change were either top-tier Great Grandmasters or Great Grandmasters; all prominent figures, and with them acting this way, even the weaker martial artists followed suit even if they didn’t know the reason.
Besides the human race, the Spirit Clan also celebrated joyously.
“Finally… Finally suppressed?!”
The Spirit Clan Elders had already felt it: the original process of transformation towards humanity had been abruptly halted and seemed to show no further intent of proceeding. Although the problem hadn’t been entirely resolved, it was still a significant relief for the Spirit Clan, which had almost reached its limits.
Both the Human Race and the Spirit Clan were mostly exhilarated.
They didn’t know what had happened, but they knew their Cultivation had a future now.
However, in a distant location, the expressions of two figures were quite grim.
The emperor of the First Dynasty, Jiang Yun, had already sensed the death of the National Guardian Level strong ones he had sent, and now, one of the Qi Fortune Worlds had directly disappeared.
The effect on power was secondary—at that world wasn’t under his control, so it didn’t matter much and could even regenerate.
But more importantly, this signified the possible emergence of a terrifying enemy.
“… Prepare to use the last resort left by our ancestors!” he finally decided resolutely.
On the other side, the top figure of the Demon Clan who had defeated Jiang Yun felt even worse.
One of the Qi Fortune Worlds under his control had disappeared, slightly weakening his strength.
“Is it Jiang Yun? No, even if he wanted to strike at me, he wouldn’t let a Qi Fortune World be outright destroyed… and the location is that place…”
The region where the Qi Fortune World disappeared already had unexpected occurrences, and now an even more significant event had taken place.
“Now if I want to manipulate the Demon Clan into wreaking havoc, it would be much more difficult, a loss beyond worth. Indeed, it’s better to defeat Jiang Yun first…”
For the first time, two Breakthrough Level powerhouses truly took notice of that hidden figure, realizing that person was no easy adversary, and made different decisions.
But one thing was certain, both sides had their sights set on Wang Sheng—or rather, it wasn’t just both sides…
In a remote place far away, a figure sat high up in the heavens.
Although the figure appeared human, its appearance was peculiar, resembling a human but with dense masses of eyes covering its face.
All these eyes were closed, but suddenly, two opened.
This seemed to be an abnormal sign, attracting the attention of those around him.
“Kui Tian Monarch, have you discovered something?”
“Something unexpected has occurred; that system seems to have been broken!” The figure known as the Kui Tian Monarch communicated something incomprehensible.
“Broken, how is that possible? We’ve already eliminated its vulnerabilities; theoretically, it shouldn’t be broken. What exactly happened, and is there any possibility it could affect our ultimate plan?”
“It seems a formidable figure has emerged, forcibly suppressing the strongest within the system.”
“Has it exceeded the limits we set?” someone asked.
“No, just within one minor dynasty, not the entire one.”
“That’s a relief, it’s only a minor dynasty; they don’t stand a chance to turn the tables on us. Someone must be getting restless, right?”
The Kui Tian Monarch nodded, “The descendant of the first to receive our ‘gift’ seems to be in trouble, struggling to withstand it.”
“This is natural; that system is terrifying after all, with an increasing number of disasters. Eventually, it was bound to proceed to this point.”
“Our ‘gift,’ they must have assimilated it well, haha, the ancestors’ plan is flawless.”
A group of people laughed.
Receiving the “gift” meant their fate was sealed, with no unexpected circumstances to occur.
Thousands of years of intricate planning had finally reached the point of fruition.
However, the Kui Tian Monarch threw a damper on the mood, “What about that peculiar person, should we ignore him?”
“What about him? As long as he doesn’t exceed the power limit, any disturbance he causes is just a minor anomaly.” Some were dismissive.
Others were intrigued, “It’s normal for such people to emerge through the calamities; he’s actually quite an interesting experimental subject. Kui Tian Monarch, if possible, keep an eye on him; perhaps there will be discoveries.”
“Why worry? Our understanding of their world’s system surpasses their own, even enhancing it. As long as there is conflict, it’s a real crushing victory. They can’t possibly win.”
The Kui Tian Monarch saw information that none of the figures cared about.
Since thousands of years ago, the ancestors had begun this meticulous scheme, targeting those weaker than themselves. It was impossible for them to falter.
Within this atmosphere, the Kui Tian Monarch also soon lost interest.
Moreover, he genuinely believed so too; when he had checked, he found nothing particularly special about that person apart from being stronger than others.
Before long, their conversation shifted.
“The old ghost of the Sword Bone Path is dead; the Sword Bone Path seems to be a dead end too.”
“The Sword Bone Path was powerful, unmatched in combat strength, but alas…”
“Since there’s trouble with the Sword Bone Path, before another person emerges, we needn’t provide some resources.”
“Indeed!”
In an instant, all arrangements were made.
“Ah, not just the Sword Bone Path, even our paths have uncertain futures, even the Kui Tian Monarch…”
Everyone fell slightly silent.
They were ruthless towards the Sword Bone Path, but in fact, if they made a wrong step, their power would face the same fate.
The Kui Tian Monarch himself didn’t object; his Kui Tian Path was formidable, but also had countless flaws.
In the end, someone sighed and said, “Hopefully, this time will be successful and bring a major harvest, otherwise thousands of years will be in vain.”
“Their potential is impressive; we won’t be disappointed. That’s the hope left by our ancestors, let’s encourage each other!”
“Let’s encourage each other!”
