In the rank 9 God Sect of the Cloud Sea, the head elder, Daoist Water, was sitting at the top of the highest mountain in the God Sect. He was wearing a green robe and looked like a child. He looked up at the sky and there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
There were four more mountains around him. If one looked from above, they would see that these five mountains were like five fingers. They occupied a majority of the planet and pierced into the heavens!
It was like the hand of a giant wanted to reach out from the planet and crush the world.
Looking at the sky, Daoist Water's expression was extremely gloomy, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his heart. When he felt Wang Lin's aura, he had a bad feeling. Back then, Wang Lin's essences had shocked him greatly. Now that he knew Wang Lin had returned, the shock in his heart was even greater.
In particular, the auras of Esteemed Ling Dong and Zhou Jin made Daoist Water's heart uneasy. Although he didn't know the truth, he had a guess. However, this guess was too shocking, so even he didn't dare to believe it or was unwilling to believe it.
"Damn it, this person is really lucky. I had already told Dao Master Miao Yin about him, but he was still able to come back alive …" Daoist Water's expression was ferocious as his right hand formed a seal and waved. The world changed colors and the clouds scattered. A wisp of smoke arrived and turned into three cloud cranes before Daoist Water.
These three cloud cranes were very powerful. After they appeared, their roars echoed across the planet. They flapped their wings and circled around Daoist Water.
Staring at the three cloud cranes, Daoist Water clenched his teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood split into three parts and fused with the three cloud cranes. Then they flew off in three different directions.
The cranes' roars were heaven-shaking. They broke through the world and merged with the stars. They were invisible and disappeared without a trace.
Looking at where the cloud cranes disappeared, Daoist Water silently pondered for a moment. He was still worried and his right hand reached at the void. Another strand of cloud flew out and turned into seven jades.
Holding a jade slip in his hand, Daoist Water's eyes were filled with killing intent.
"By the order of the Old Man, the head elder of the God Sect, summon the cultivators of the Cloud Sea to prepare for war. Set up the Nine Heaven Destruction Formation outside my God Sect!" With a wave of his hand, the jade disappeared.
Holding the second jade, Daoist Water's expression was ferocious and he sent out a divine sense message.
"With the Divine Sect's order, the rank seven sub-sects will quickly go to the Gui Yuan Sect and capture everyone from the Gui Yuan Sect. Send them to the Divine Sect and wait for the Old Man to give the order. The entire Gui Yuan Sect will be executed and no one will be left alive!"
The jade filled with killing intent suddenly disappeared. Daoist Water didn't stop and picked up the third jade.
"Mu Bingmei, the Old Man healed you, helped you recover your cultivation, and helped you advance several steps in your cultivation. You must repay this kindness. I want you to immediately swallow that pill and come out of seclusion to help the Old Man!"
With a flick of his right hand, the third jade slip disappeared and shot through the air.
"Heaven Breaking Sect's Sect Master, by the order of the Old Man, quickly come to the God Sect. I'll grant you death before the Old Man. If you don't come, the Heaven Breaking Sect will be destroyed!"
The fourth jade fused with the world.
"Tai Aluo, you are the emperor of the fierce beasts and have taken human form. You were sealed countless years ago. The Old Man, Daoist Water, can release the seal placed by the Lord of the Sealed Realm so you can return home. However, you must kill one person!"
The fifth jade suddenly collapsed. It contained a sliver of Daoist Water's will and fused with the world.
After Daoist Water sent out five orders, the trace of uneasiness in his heart dissipated a bit, but he was still worried. He held the sixth jade, and after pondering a bit, there was a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
"Cloud Sea, Summoned River, Alliance, Luo Tian. The Old Man, Daoist Water of the God Sect. He is a child of the Lord of the Sealed Realm and has been guarding the God Sect for tens of thousands of years. During the second war against the Outer Realm, he made great contributions!
"Today, the Old Man received accurate news that there was a cultivator in the Alliance named Wang Lin. He was one of the Sovereign's pawns!
"This person has hidden himself very well and obtained the Heaven Defying Bead that my lord brought from the Ancient Celestial Realm. He used it to trick the Demon Sect, but he couldn't hide it from the Old Man!
"He came back from the Outer Realm with the intention of causing chaos in my Sealed Realm. He is a spy for the Ancient Star System's army!
"Today, the Old Man sent out the Sealed Realm Order on behalf of my lord. All Inner Realm cultivators must kill this person!
"Anyone who kills this person will obtain the Heaven Defying Bead!
"Anyone who kills this person will be a hero of my Inner Realm!
"Anyone who kills this person will be my God Sect's sect master!!
"Anyone who kills this person, the Old Man is willing to be a slave for 1,000 years!!!"
Daoist Water's expression was ferocious and he waved his right hand. The jade filled with crazy divine sense flew out and disappeared among the stars!
"You want to kill me? Little bastard, I want to see how you will kill me!" Daoist Water picked up the seventh jade and sent out the last divine sense message.
"Ancient Supreme Celestial, my lord's remnant divine sense divined that the Outer Realm is about to invade, but my Sealed Realm is not strong enough. I fear it will be difficult to resist. At this moment of crisis, I ask the Ancient Supreme Celestial to descend!!"
Daoist Water held the seventh jade and coughed out a mouthful of blood. He waved his right hand and the blood fused with the jade to form a blood-colored rune.
After the rune appeared on the jade, it gave off bursts of blood light and charged into the sky. There was a flash of blood light and the entire sky was shrouded in a blood-colored light.
Even the earth was covered and turned the color of blood!
A giant vortex vaguely appeared in the blood-colored sky. The vortex rotated as if it led to another realm!
Daoist Water got up and knelt there. His right hand reached at the void and his storage space appeared. There was a flash of light and a tortoise shell appeared in his hand!
This tortoise shell was filled with an ancient aura, and there was even a hint of celestial spiritual energy coming from it!
"This tortoise is my identity symbol. I'm the boy of the Lord of the Sealed Realm. I ask the Ancient Supreme Celestial to descend. I ask the Ancient Supreme Celestial to bestow this treasure!!" Daoist Water raised the tortoise shell and knelt on the ground.
Bursts of roars came from the blood-colored sky. A gaze slowly descended from the vortex and stared at the tortoise shell Daoist Water had raised.
"Lower realm cultivator, this tortoise shell is indeed the token of the Lord of the Sealed Realm. This celestial has been ordered to gift you a treasure. Take this treasure and fuse it with the Realm Sealing Formation. It can delay the Outer Realm's invasion for 100 years … 100 years is enough for my Ancient Supreme Celestial to awaken several Sovereigns …" As the majestic voice echoed from the vortex, a golden treasure slowly descended!
This was a bell, a golden bell!
In the process of descending, a series of crisp clanging sounds rang out and spread in all directions.
"Remember to fuse this with the Realm Sealing Formation. Delaying it for 100 years is very important … During these 100 years, the Ancient Supreme Celestial will no longer help you and will be completely sealed …"
The bell slowly descended above Daoist Water. When Daoist Water looked up, the golden bell descended before him.
His eyes were filled with ecstasy and his right hand reached out to grab the bell.
His mind buzzed as he formed a connection with the bell.
The blood color in the sky gradually dissipated and the sky returned to normal. Daoist Water revealed a grin as he stood up and muttered, "The thing left behind by that old thing is still useful … With this treasure from the Ancient Celestial Realm, I want to see how that Wang Lin can kill me!!
"After I kill that Wang Lin, I can exchange this bell for a great merit. At that time, the Sovereign will give me endless Joss Flames!"
As for fusing it with the Realm Sealing Formation and delaying it for 100 years, Daoist Water had no intention of doing that!!
In the Summoned River of the Lightning Celestial Realm, there was a giant vortex. This vortex had existed since ancient times and was one of the most dangerous places in the Summoned River. Once a cultivator got close, all their origin energy would be sucked away and they would be trapped to death.
In the depths of the vortex, there was a cultivation planet. This planet wasn't large and was completely black.
There was a large amount of mud and swamps on the planet, and there was also a poisonous gas.
The entire cultivation planet was covered in mud. In the depths of the planet sat an old man in a black robe.
This old man had a ferocious expression and his skin was covered in poison. As he cultivated, strands of black gas came out from the mud and were absorbed by the old man.
Just at that moment, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, and they were filled with coldness and mercilessness. At the instant he opened his eyes, a wisp of smoke appeared out of nowhere from the mud before him, and it turned into a cloud crane.
"Fellow Cultivator Zhou De of the Summoned River, I'm willing to use a rank 6 dao spirit to exchange for Fellow Cultivator's help once!"
Daoist Water's voice came from the cloud crane and echoed across the planet.
The old man in black's eyes lit up and he raised his right hand to catch the cloud crane. He began to ponder.
"Daoist Water is a stingy person. He used a rank 6 dao spirit to exchange for the Old Man's help. I wonder what kind of powerful enemy he has encountered … Helping once … is good!"
In the Summoned River, on a half-abandoned cultivation planet, there was a pawn shop in a mortal city. The owner of the pawn shop was a very gentle middle-aged man, but many people in the city knew that although this middle-aged man looked kind, he was very calculative.
On this day, he was sitting in his own pawn shop, holding a piece of jade in his hand. While carefully looking at it, he would often look up at the person who came to pawn it.
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes and said with difficulty, "This jade is not good …"
"Shopkeeper, this is …"
The middle-aged man frowned. Just as he was about to speak, his expression changed and he looked outside the door.
"10 taels of silver!"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he took out 10 taels of silver for the surprised pawnbroker. After the pawnbroker left, he raised his right hand and pointed forward.
Suddenly, a cloud crane appeared in front of him.
"Fellow Cultivator Yun Feng of the Summoned River, I'm willing to give you the Lord of the Sealed Realm's Stop spell in exchange for your help once!" Daoist Water's voice echoed in the middle-aged man's mind.
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. He rubbed his chin and began to ponder.
"Stop spell … Interesting, interesting."
"I'm still persevering. I ate another painkiller and my headache is enough to make me go crazy. I've written too much these past few days … However, there is still time until 12, so I can't relax. I have to continue working on the fifth chapter!
