Around them, the cultivators from the Great Eastern Alliance who were guarding the area all stared at the person who had walked out. One of them shouted, "This area belongs to the Great Eastern Alliance of the Blazing Mist Flowzone. Put down your weapons and hand over your cosmic ring, and we won't harm you."
The person who came out sneered, "A bunch of trash." As he spoke, his eyes widened, and the void shattered. A terrifying gale swept out in all directions. In front of him, the Luo Sovereign rushed out from the Astral Source Universe. He raised his hand and aimed at the person, shooting out a beam of light.
With a casual wave of his hand, this person extinguished the Luo Emperor's light beam. "The Great Eastern Alliance?
Just slaughter them. "
Emperor Luo stared at the newcomer in fear. "You are Xia Yi?"
The person who had walked out of Planet Yima's Burial Gate was Xia Yi. He had never expected that he would end up in the Blazing Mist Flowzone.
The astral source in Xia Yi's hand transformed into a saber and slashed out. The Great Eastern Alliance?
Since he couldn't kill Lu Yin, he could take care of these small fries.
The Luo Emperor was shocked. Xia Yi was no ordinary Emissary. He did not even think about taking the blow head-on. He tried to dodge it.
However, the difference between Luo Huang and Xia Yi was too great. Xia Yi's combat power was over 700,000 while Luo Huang's combat power was only over 500,000.
Half of the Arcane Sovereign's body was split open by the saber.
Xia Yi raised his hand and slashed out again. Above his head, a huge shadow loomed over him. It was Chen Huang. Xia Yi and Emperor Luo were tasked with guarding the burial gate on Yima Planet, while the other two gates were left to Emperor Liu and the Second Nightking.
The Second Nightking had accompanied Lu Yin into the Burial Garden and gotten separated, but with his strength, he was able to quickly find the entrance to the Burial Garden.
If not for Lu Yin's coercion, he would not have wanted to leave Burial Garden at all.
With Chen Huang and Luo Huang's strength, guarding a Gate of Burial Garden would not be a problem. However, they did not expect to be so unlucky as to encounter Xia Yi.
As the blade swept past, Chen Huang's huge body was cut open, causing blood to flow down from the sky.
Even if the two of them joined forces, they still wouldn't be able to fight back against Xia Yi.
Xia Yi turned around and destroyed the gate to Planet Yima's burial garden. His body flickered as he appeared outside of Planet Yima. He raised his blade and said, "I'll make you all disappear."
The blade flashed past, but it was stopped halfway by a long spear. The body of the spear emitted an indescribable pressure and vibration, and forcibly repelled Xia Yi's blade.
Xia Yi's expression changed drastically as he stared ahead.
The void distorted, and the Sea King walked out of the Astral Source Universe to face Xia Yi.
Xia Yi frowned. "The Sea King?"
The Sea King also stared at Xia Yi. "Seven Courts, head of the Xia family, Xia Yi."
"Rumor has it that you were taken away by the Sword Sect and merged into the Great Eastern Alliance. Were you released?" Xia Yi asked.
The Sea King raised his spear. "This has nothing to do with you. Leave."
Xia Yi's expression turned cold. "You think you can stop me?"
"Give it a try."
In the next moment, the sound of an intense collision shook the starry sky. The aftermath of the fierce battle swept out in all directions. The Ocean King and Xia Yi were evenly matched. Suddenly, Xia Yi unleashed three types of Blade Will and slashed in one direction. There, the sword edge swept past and cut the three types of Blade Will horizontally, followed by another sword.
Xia Yi's pupils constricted. Not good, a peerless expert. He turned around and fled without thinking.
However, as a sword came from the void and slashed through Xia Yi, Xia Yi coughed up blood and fell down. The fourteenth sword, Emperor Liu's sword, was not something that Xia Yi could withstand.
The Sea King sighed as he looked into the distance. Emperor Liu walked over and took Xia Yi away, but he did not speak to the Sea King.
On Yima Planet, Emperor Luo walked out in an abnormally sorry state. Half of his body had been torn apart, and he looked like he had been seriously injured. He walked up to the Sea King and expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for your help, Your Excellency. May I know why you've come to Yima Planet?"
The Sea King put away his spear and stared at Emperor Luo. "Where's Wang Wen?"
Emperor Luo was confused. "Wang Wen?"
The Sea King's expression turned ugly. "That brat actually dared to flirt with my daughter. He's dead." He then vanished into the void.
Emperor Luo's mouth fell open, but he did not know what to say. This seemed to be a family matter.
However, judging from the Sea King's attitude, Emperor Luo did not think that someone would actually die. After some thought, he contacted Wang Wen and Emperor Liu.
At a fort in the Ross Empire, Wang Wen read the message from Emperor Luo on his gadget, and his expression changed. Not good! He had been exposed for flirting with the Sea King's daughter! He immediately contacted Lu Yin, but it was too late. The Sea King had already appeared above his head and landed in front of Wang Wen, grabbing him. "Come with me, brat."
Wang Wen was taken away by the enraged Sea King, and no one tried to stop him. Wang Wen prayed that Lu Yin would be able to save him.
At the same time, Lu Yin was also praying that he would be able to find the hidden Burial Garden Gate.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed. Lu Yin had been in the Starfall Sea for a month, and he had spent most of that time with Si Xiao 'er in search of the Burial Garden Gate.
They had not found the gate, but they had seen many sights of the Grayweed Continent.
During this half a month, the Burial Garden had been shaken by the arrival of people with ancient bloodlines. There were many legends that had never been heard of in the Burial Garden before.
Legend had it that a person with an ancient bloodline had walked through the Burial Garden and mysteriously obtained a piece of jade that had been passed down from the heavens.
Legend had it that a person with an ancient bloodline had suddenly gone mad and revealed an obscure ancient truth that no one could understand.
There was also another legend that said that a wandering corpse in the Burial Garden had been searching for an ancient bloodline. Wherever the ancient bloodline went, the wandering corpse would follow like a follower.
Legend had it that a giant wandering corpse had dropped a plaque that had crushed many people to death when it stretched its back. There were ancient words written on the plaque.
Legend had it that there was a tea mountain that had a wandering corpse that grew tea and liked to impart ancient battle techniques.
…
With the arrival of ancient bloodlines, the entire Burial Garden had come to life. Many strange phenomena had appeared, and the wandering corpses had also gained vitality. Some people had even been bored enough to casually kick a stone and obtain a legacy technique.
This could only be said to have shaken the universe, but what had truly attracted everyone's attention to the Burial Garden was a rumor that someone had seen Progenitor Chen.
Progenitor Chen was the Fifth Mainland's most outstanding and most invincible Progenitor. He had once suppressed the entire Sixth Mainland by himself, and his Nine Clones technique had allowed him to challenge the Nine Progenitors. He had been able to conquer the world at a young age, and he was a living legend that the Sixth Mainland refused to acknowledge.
Everyone had assumed that Progenitor Chen had died, and that the Seven Courts had been guarding his tomb.
However, no one had expected that someone would actually see Progenitor Chen in the Burial Garden.
Regardless of whether this Progenitor Chen was a wandering corpse or an illusion, as long as someone saw him, it was enough to attract a large group of people.
Progenitor Chen's legend had indeed shocked many people, but what had attracted the Hall of Honor and the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Sect to enter the Burial Garden was not Progenitor Chen, but rather … a tribulation crystal pillar.
No one had expected that someone would actually dig up a tribulation crystal pillar in the Burial Garden. This person did not recognize the pillar, nor did he know what it was used for. After digging it out, it was exposed and seen by others.
The person who had dug it out did not recognize the pillar either, but that did not stop him from taking pictures and uploading them onto the network. This exposed the person to the Hall of Honor and the Daosource Sect.
The Hall of Honor and the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Sect had not exposed themselves, and they had instead secretly sent experts into the Burial Garden to search for the person who had found the pillar while continuing to explore the Burial Garden.
Astral-1, or rather, Astral-1 used to be. Wu Da blankly looked at the headmaster, as well as the other headmasters, and gulped.
The former headmaster of Astral-1 had been an old woman with silver-white hair, and Wu Da had never seen her before. It was not just him; even his seniors from the previous batch, the batch before that, and the batch before that had never seen her before. Astral-1's headmaster was in seclusion all year round and did not care about worldly affairs. She had only come out during the Sixth Mainland's invasion, and she had easily killed one of the Sixth Mainland's Imprinters and led Astral-1 safely out of harm's way.
Even the other headmasters of Astral-2, Astral-5, and Astral-6 all respected this mysterious headmaster, let alone a student like Wu Da. No one knew how powerful this old woman was.
"You're called Wu Da?"
The silver-haired old woman asked kindly with a gentle smile on her face.
Wu Da gulped and nodded. He licked his lips and smiled. "Yes, Wu Da greets Headmaster."
The old woman smiled. "Not bad, child." With that, she waved her hand, causing a screen of light to appear in the air. On the screen was a series of pictures of the cemetery, and many of them showed what people had obtained. One of them was a tribulation crystal pillar.
The old woman pointed at the pillar. "Did you take these pictures as well?"
Wu Da nodded.
"What are they for?" the old woman asked curiously.
Wu Da was embarrassed. "I-I want to increase my fame by taking pictures of the burial garden so that I can establish my own company in the future."
The old woman did not understand.
Wu Da explained, "The burial garden is currently the most important event in the universe. Everyone wants to explore it and obtain opportunities, but I don't dare to dream about it. I also admit that I don't have the strength to do so, so I decided to take these pictures in hopes of becoming the only reporter in the universe to report on the burial garden." Wu Da suddenly became excited. "My dream is to become the greatest reporter in the universe. That was my dream before I graduated, and now that I've graduated, I still have this dream.
"For this dream, when I was still a Melder, I reported on all sorts of battles in the Astral Combat Academy. The most famous one was Lu Yin's battle news. Now that I'm roaming the universe, I've never forgotten my original goal …"
The old woman did not interrupt Wu Da as he talked about his dream. Instead, she just smiled and watched.
The other deans rolled their eyes. From their point of view, a student who did not cultivate seriously was not doing his job properly. Since he had entered the burial garden, he had to have the heart to explore. If he did not even have the heart to explore and cultivate, then this student had no future.
Wu Da did not care about what others thought; he only wanted to report on the burial garden. The burial garden was too big, and he had only been to the tip of the iceberg. However, he wanted to take pictures of everything that he walked through. It was because of this mindset that he had not obtained anything in the burial garden and had only managed to survive because of his identity as a graduate of the Astral Combat Academy.
The old woman looked at Wu Da with admiration. "Good child, having a dream is better than not having one. You can do whatever you like." She then gave him a power vessel. "Keep it close to your body. No one will be able to tell. Use it when you're in danger."
Wu Da was excited. "Thank you, Dean! Thank you!" He then ran off. He had been recognized as the dean of Astral-1.
