True Martial World - Chapter 252: Radiant Sun

Minute Subtlety was indeed amazing. But no matter how great a person's movement was, it would be impossible to dodge an attack that was densely packed, leaving no space for one to burrow through!

Yi Yun was surrounded by rocks. The audience could no longer see what was happening on the stage due to the rocks blocking their line of sight.

"What is happening on stage? Damn it, I can't see!" Someone was so anxious that he wished he could drill through the rocks just to see how the battle between Yi Yun and Li Hong was going.

"Li Hong's law of the lands… should have already reached the second stage!"

Every law had its own grade system.

The higher one gained insight into one, the harder it was to progress. Li Hong could use Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to conjure a mountain. Being able to use the mountain to attack and defend, this was the first stage of the law of the lands!

And to be able to split and conjoin the mountain, to the point of changing it into numerous smaller stones, in which each stone could be controlled according to one’s thoughts, this was the second stage of the law of the lands.

Going further, the law of the lands became even more powerful. For example, it could cause the earth to spew out molten lava and then control the power of the lava. Another example would be to control gravity. These were all different levels that the law of the lands had.

Of course, ignoring Purple Blood warriors, even Yuan Foundation realm warriors would not be able to reach that stage. It was too difficult. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"Yi Yun, if you kneel down and beg for mercy, I can still terminate this attack. If I strike, I will no longer be able to control whether you die or not!" Li Hong reminded Yi Yun. It was not that he did not want to kill Yi Yun, he did, but he did not want to endure the punishment of imprisonment.

Although people could not see Li Hong, they could still hear him. Hearing that Li Hong was about to issue a strike that would leave Yi Yun's life up in the air, the spectators held their breaths.

By seeing Li Hong control the mountain and make it slam into the stage, which caused the entire arena to quake, everyone couldn’t help but believe in Li Hong’s words. It was possible that when the mountain came crashing down on Yi Yun, Yi Yun would become nothing more than a bloody pulp.

If Yi Yun wanted to break through this move, he would have to use a hidden saber move with an indomitable strength to slash a path out!

And then, with extreme speed, Yi Yun could fly out through that path.

That was the only way he could possibly survive.

But the point is, how would Yi Yun's saber split open a path for him?

Everyone was eager to see if he could do it.

On the Divine Wilderness Stage, Yi Yun's Yuan Qi was surging. He looked at the rocks that completely blocked his vision. He interfaced his spiritual energy with the Purple Crystal and opened his energy vision.

With the energy vision, Yi Yun could see that each rock was made out of energy. They did not stand independently and they all had an energy link with Li Hong.

"Oh? All of this energy is part of the laws of the lands…"

Yi Yun frowned. He could clearly see the energy circulating within each rock, but he could feel that the energy circulating within them was not perfect. There were many spots that were far from perfect. Comparing it to the energy flow of the saber tomb's 32 words, the difference was even more obvious.

"Yi Yun, did you not hear me? Do you really not know the meaning of death!"

Seeing that Yi Yun had no intentions of replying and just stood there, pondering over something, Li Hong fumed.

"Since you want to die, I will grant you your wish!" Li Hong roared as the staff in his hand shot out a wave of earth yellow Qi that swept through everything like a surging tide!

All the rocks that were floating in the air above the Divine Wilderness Stage began to shake!

A few of the law-enforcers by the stands stood up. They were circulating their Yuan Qi and using their spiritual energy to see through the layers of rock, locking onto Yi Yun's body!

They were ready to take action at any time!

They would not stop the match, but once it was clear that one party was going to lose, they would save him. They could not sit idly by and look at the number one genius rookie getting killed by Li Hong.

The atmosphere tensed up into an unprecedented fashion!

Everyone's heartbeats seemed to stop. Li Hong laughed and leaped up high. His staff seemed to connect the heaven and earth!

At that moment, Li Hong seemed to start emitting the same pressure as a mountain.

"Suppressing Mountain Attack!" Li Hong roared as he swung his staff downwards!

The numerous rocks surrounding them were swept up by the staff and they charged towards Yi Yun!

The attack had no blind spots and the rocks were interconnecting to the point that even a rat could not escape!

Numerous rocks smashed downwards with Yi Yun at the center!

Every blink of an eye, thousands of rocks would bombard him!

And Yi Yun did not escape at all!

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The rocks crashed into each other emitting ear-splitting booms. The entire arena was shaking!

People watched with their mouths wide open as the spot that Yi Yun was standing on became engulfed by flying rocks!

A huge rock was forming at that spot rapidly!

Did Yi Yun not dodge the rocks?

Many people were shocked. They originally thought that when the rocks fell down on Yi Yun, he would use a hidden saber move to cut a path open. But he didn't!

The rocks quickly piled up and the mountain of rocks grew taller!

Heavens!

Yi Yun…

Many people stared wide-eyed at the mountain of rocks. Many suspected that Yi Yun had now been turned into a bloody mess!

Li Hong's eyes were ferocious. He was so immersed in trying to kill Yi Yun that he no longer took imprisonment into account!

"Die!"

The rocks started to combine again, reforming the mountain that stood over twenty meters tall, as this happened, Li Hong descended from the sky. With a heavy whack, he hit the mountain!

"Boom!"

The power of this attack passed through the mountain’s outer shell, all the way to its center. The entire Divine Wilderness Stage shook once more!

Li Hong stood above the Heaven Opening Mountain's peak. His staff was now stuck deeply in the mountain. The mountain was formed from Li Hong's Yuan Qi, so it would not hinder his attack. All the power within his attack had been perfectly transmitted to Yi Yun's body!

Being crushed by a mountain that exceeded ten million pounds and then being hit with Li Hong's one attack, had Yi Yun already been turned into meat sauce?

There was total silence. Only the sound of Li Hong’s last attack echoed around the arena!

"Is… Is he dead?" Someone said with a trembling voice. Yi Yun's friends, Song Zijun, and company all felt like they had their hearts in their mouth. Zhao Qingcheng nearly screamed out loud.

"Heh! Very good!"

In a corner of the arena, Yang Dingkun grinned maliciously. He was very pleased with this result. Even if Yi Yun did not die, he was most likely crippled. Maybe all of his meridians were now broken to the point that even the best medicine would be unable to cure him.

"Oh? That is…"

Yang Dingkun was suddenly shocked. He saw that a dark red liquid was oozing out from the cracks in the rocks at the bottom of the Heaven Opening Mountain.

What is that?

Usually, the dark red liquid would be blood, but this liquid was clearly different from blood. It was thick and torpid. There were even boiling bubbles popping in it and it appeared to be extremely hot!

This is…

Magma!?

It was not only limited to Yang Dingkun because, at that moment, everyone had noticed the magma that was oozing out from the rocks. More and more oozed out, thickening the liquid!

Magma!? What happened!?

Did Li Hong's law of the lands reach the point of being able to melt the mountain into magma?

When the law of the lands reached a higher realm, it could indeed manipulate magma!

Magma was the anger of the earth. A peak Human Lord who had an affinity with earth could cause a volcano to erupt with a simple wish!

But… it was impossible for Li Hong to have already reached that stage.

"How could it be? Manipulating magma!?"

"Yi Yun? What happened to Yi Yun?" People were now very anxious and looked at the law-enforcers. Why haven't the law-enforcers done anything yet?

But the few law-enforcers who were in charge of the match only had odd looks on their faces and did not take any action.

Above the Heaven Opening Mountain peak, Li Hong was also stunned.

Magma!?

He was the person most aware of his own strength. He knew that he was far from being able to manipulate magma!

"How could the Heaven Opening Mountain create magma?" Li Hong asked himself in an incredulous manner.

At that moment, more and more magma gushed out. The mountain became hotter and Li Hong could feel a blast of hot air streaming out of it. He could no longer stand above the Heaven Opening Mountain.

He could even feel that, as the amount of magma increased, the Heaven Opening Mountain melted more and more!

The Heaven Opening Mountain, which was now soaking in magma, was like a candy that was dissolving in water. It was getting smaller.

"How is this happening!?"

Li Hong was greatly alarmed. At that moment, he could hear a faint sound. Suddenly, purple gas surged out from the entire Heaven Opening Mountain!

Oh?

Li Hong was surprised and leaped off the Heaven Opening Mountain’s peak. A few seconds after he jumped off, searing flames appeared on the mountain peak!

Hu! Hu! Hu!

Hot Pure Yang fire burned, covering the entire Heaven Opening Mountain! It was like a Sun, rising out of the Heaven Opening Mountain!

Swaths of purple gas tumbled willfully into the flames as they soared to the sky!

All the pure Yang Qi in a radius of several kilometers was pulled over. The Yang Qi mixed with the purple gas and became a part of it.

Now, it was noon, and the sun was scorching and purple gas was being emitted!

Above the arena, the purple gas was slowly condensing into a long valley.

The blurred valley had trees and flowing rivers. But these trees and flowing rivers seemed to faintly burn within the purple gas…

"This is!?"

Li Hong stared at the valley with his eyes wide open.

All of the veteran cultivators in the audience suddenly had inexplicable horrific looks on their faces. The rookies were in muddled states, they did not know what the purple gas represented.

"Radiant Sun Qi! It's Radiant Sun Qi!" A veteran cultivator shouted in an incredulous manner.

"Not only is it Radiant Sun Qi, it is the Tang Valley stage of the Radiant Sun Qi! Who has mastered this level of Radiant Sun Qi?"

Many people did not react in time, but when the rookies heard it, they were stunned.

Although they had never seen Radiant Sun Qi before, they had still heard of the famous Radiant Sun Qi.

Radiant Sun Qi came from the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' and it was the strongest power in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. It was also the greatest inheritance of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom!

More and more magma appeared on the stage. The mountain was now glowing red hot and slowly melting. People began to arrive at a realization of the impossible possibility…

"Yi Yun… didn't he exchange for the… 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique'?" When someone said that, everyone held their breaths.

Yi Yun!?

He had exchanged for the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' less than two months ago!

He was a rookie and his cultivation level was just at the peak of the middle stages of Purple Blood! He had already mastered the Radiant Sun Qi?! And it was even at the Tang Valley stage of the Radiant Sun Qi!?

What a joke!

At that moment, in the central divine tower, Cang Yan and Jian Ge were playing chess and watching a video projection of the battle going on using a disk array. The disk array was locked in place and it had been set up perfectly represent the ongoings happening in the arena.

After confirming that Yi Yun had learned the Saber Truth's 32 Words, Cang Yan and Jian Ge did not feel the need to watch Yi Yun and Li Hong's battle in person.

It was enough to watch Yi Yun using the video projection.

They were originally just watching without paying a lot of attention, that was until Li Hong used his killer move. Only then did they start paying attention to the match, they were worried that Yi Yun might not be able to handle the attack, but…

Seeing Radiant Sun Qi gush out… Cang Yan nearly flipped the chess board!

"This kid! Am… Am I seeing things!? Old man Jian, did you see that!?" Cang Yan asked Jian Ge.

Jian Ge said with a speechless expression, "I am looking at it!"

"It's the Tang Valley stage of Radiant Sun Qi. Yi Yun has only been practicing the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' for less than two months, it's really… impressive!"

By giving Yi Yun this evaluation, Elder Jian Ge had already praised him a few times. Under normal circumstances, it was very difficult for a junior to be praised by a Sage even once.

Only two months had passed since Yi Yun picked the primordial herb and used the glory points he obtained from it to exchange for the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique'. But no one knew that after exchanging the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique', Yi Yun had actually only used about ten days to master the Radiant Sun Qi!

If Elder Jian Ge knew this, he would become even more astonished.

At that moment, in the arena–

The amount of magma had increased and had started to flow off the Divine Wilderness Stage.

Most people had by now guessed that Yi Yun had mastered the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique', but there were still some who insisted that this was impossible.

At that moment, an ear-piercing sound rang out!

In the middle of the Divine Wilderness Stage, a purple blade beam had risen out from the Heaven Opening Mountain!

At that moment, it seemed like that blade beam had become the only thing in existence!

The blade beam was tens of meters long and it split the humongous Heaven Opening Mountain in two!

Cha!

The Heaven Opening Mountain violently trembled and the two parts of the mountain collapsed!

People could then see that the middle of the Heaven Opening Mountain had completely melted, leaving behind a gaping hole!

And a youth in linen clothes, holding a long saber, stood where the hole originally was!

Above him, lava rain splattered down, while beneath his feet, lava surged.

But this surging lava was blocked by the pure Yang Qi and did not even come close to the youth!

This…

Everyone stared widely and were completely stunned!

Yi Yun's… Radiant Sun Qi had split the Heaven Opening Mountain apart with one attack!

People knew that when the Heaven Opening Mountain crashed down, Yi Yun had used his Radiant Sun Qi to melt out a place for him to take shelter. He was unscathed from beginning to end!

True Martial World - Chapter 251: Heaven Opening Mountain

On the stage, Li Hong held his long staff and began approaching Yi Yun. As he approached, his aura grew stronger.

"What's wrong? Isn't your saber very fast? Use any of the hidden saber moves you have. When I’ve blocked all of your saber moves, then it will be the end!"

Li Hong was extremely confident in his defense capabilities.

Yi Yun eyes flashed with a cold beam.

He slowly rotated his blade. What Li Hong had said was in fact correct. What Yi Yun was lacking the most in his martial arts was combat experience!

Li Hong had slaughtered numerous desolate beasts in the Divine Wilderness. This benefited both his staff techniques and combat experience greatly.

Although other weaker children of family clans might not kill desolate beasts as rookies, they would still often spar with their peers while growing up.

Actual combat was the best way to hone one's fighting techniques.

But for Yi Yun, the number of big battles he had experienced could be counted with his fingers. Besides the sparring with Lin Xintong and the slaughtering of fierce beasts in the Desolate Human Valley, there was only the Jin Long Wei selection and the current rookie ranking competition.

Yi Yun was very serious in every battle, especially in battles with people of similar strength as himself. This was a test he had to undergo, and also the best way for him to hone his saber techniques.

"Since you want to see my saber moves, I'll grant you your wish!"

Yi Yun took a few steps forward and the Yuan Qi in his body started surging. His energy followed the Saber Truth's 32 Words' flows and circulated within his meridians.

Reigning Supreme!

With the Thousand Army Saber in hand, Yi Yun slashed downwards. A green flash gushed out like a bright crescent light, and gushed towards Li Hong with domineering momentum!

Li Hong roared and his earth-yellow Qi surged, making the scales on his body expand.

Yi Yun's saber slashed heavily onto Li Hong's body.

"Boom!"

With a violent explosion, Li Hong's scales ruptured. Due to the intense blade beam, Li Hong was sent flying!

Li Hong's body slammed heavily into the Divine Wilderness Stage's wall. The intense vibrations caused the weapons hanging on the walls to drop to the floor!

Seeing this scene, people unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Yi Yun's saber was extremely powerful!

"Hehe… Good move!"

Li Hong was half-sitting by the corner of the wall. The scale armor on his body now had a two-foot long gash, going from his chest all the way to the waist. The scales around the gash had been completely broken by Yi Yun's attack.

But after breaking through the scale armor, the saber move had expended most of its energy. It did not manage to break through Li Hong's protective Yuan Qi and only gave him slight injuries.

Li Hong rubbed the blood off his lips and stood up. The scale armor on his body was rapidly repairing itself with a surge of his earth-yellow Yuan Qi.

"Your saber moves are not bad, but unfortunately you do not have enough Yuan Qi. Just a little bit more and you would have been able to hurt me. I was just testing the defense of my 'Heaven Opening Technique'. That was the only chance you had of hurting me..."

"You sure are full of nonsense." Yi Yun frowned. Li Hong's defense was indeed strong. Li Hong had taken the move Yi Yun learned from the Saber Truth's 32 Words head on, without even dodging!

"It's not too late for you to become complacent after you take on my second attack!"

Yi Yun swiped with his Thousand Army Saber and a horrifying burst of killing intent surged out. The saber was a weapon that was used to kill. In mortal countries, sabers were banned unlike swords. Swords were ceremonial weapons. Emperors, gentlemen and scholars would choose a sword. But a saber was different. People, who used a saber, were people who really wanted to kill!

The owner of the saber tomb had inscribed the killing way of the saber into the Saber Truth's 32 Words!

Suddenly it seemed like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood appeared behind Yi Yun. And where Yi Yun stood, the area had now turned into a blood pool hell!

Killing At Its Core!

The Thousand Army Saber slashed forward and the blood waves gushed. The entire Divine Wilderness Stage seemed to turn into a world of blood!

Seeing the saber slash forward, Li Hong's eyes burned with fighting spirit.

"Come forth, Heaven Opening Mountain!" Li Hong hit his staff onto the stage and earth-yellow Yuan Qi surged into the Divine Wilderness Stage!

"Boom!"

The ground trembled and a mountain sprang up from beneath Li Hong's feet!

This mountain was majestic!

This was a mountain formed from Heaven Earth Yuan Qi by Li Hong, but it was no different than a real mountain!

"Oh!? This is?" Yi Yun was shocked. Seeing a mountain suddenly appear before him, how could he not be shocked?

Although Yi Yun was shocked, the Thousand Army Saber still cleaved downwards without hesitation.

Kill!

The saber slashed downwards sending out a blood beam that spread tens of meters wide. However, this blood beam was completely blocked by the mountain!

Li Hong had formed a mountain to take on Yi Yun's killer move!

"Cha!"

A ear-piercing sound rang. The Thousand Army Saber's blade beam slashed into the mountain, making a hole about seven meters deep. Although it caused a deep hole, it could no longer go any further.

Even after the blade beam's Yuan Qi was completely expended, this mountain still floated above Li Hong's head.

The mountain was more than twenty meters tall, and its base was tens of meters in radius. It did not sound large, but it looked very shocking in person!

This mountain had a terrifying weight. If it was not by using the powers of the laws, Li Hong would definitely not be able to lift it. This was really the strength of lifting a mountain!

The audience became dumbfounded.

This was too great an exaggeration. To use a small mountain to block Yi Yun's attack?

"This is the law of the lands! Right, Li Hong's Yuan Qi was earth-yellow in color. And earth-yellow Yuan Qi of the lands is most suitable for the 'Heaven Opening Technique' that focuses on defense! By injecting the Yuan Qi of the lands into the Heaven Opening Real Qi to form the scale armor, he can increase his defense by another level!"

"Blending the law of the lands into the 'Heaven Opening Technique', Li Hong is a real genius. Many people cannot even learn the 'Heaven Opening Technique', let alone combine the laws they know into the 'Heaven Opening Technique'!"

Li Hong, who was ranked number one amongst the second year cultivators, was not an average person.

Also, he was about to breakthrough into the Yuan Foundation realm. The Yuan Foundation he had formed within his dantian was already in its embryonic form.

This Yuan Foundation embryonic form gave Li Hong plenty of energy. This was also the foundation that allowed him to the use the Yuan Qi of the lands to form this small mountain!

If it was Chu Xiaoran, although she was accomplished in the frost ice laws, she could only form tens of ice columns by consuming a large portion of her Yuan Qi. Previously, after exchanging two blows with Yi Yun, she had completely depleted her Yuan Qi.

This was the benefit of being at the peak of Purple Blood realm, or the quasi-Yuan Foundation realm. The difference in cultivation level was something difficult to overcome when both parties were geniuses!

Seeing the seven meter deep gash on the mountain, Li Hong laughed. "How can a saber slash apart a mountain? Your attack is not bad, but unfortunately, I have formed this mountain. You will never be able to split it apart!"

Li Hong picked up his staff. He had consumed a great deal of Yuan Qi by forming the mountain.

Heaven Opening Mountain was a manifestation of Li Hong's law of the lands. Once it was formed, it pushed Li Hong's combat power to its extremes.

"I see, law of the lands..."

Yi Yun squinted and looked at the mountain in the sky. After all, Chu Xiaoran had managed to control the power of the laws, while Li Hong had spent a year in the Tai Ah Divine City. He had experienced slaughters in the Divine Wilderness, so how could Li Hong be unable to learn any laws?

As the best second year cultivator, he definitely had something worth presenting.

"The power of laws is something that I am in urgent need of." Yi Yun thought.

"That is as far as you go! By having to use the Heaven Opening Mountain to defeat you, it is something you can be proud of!"

Li Hong smashed with the staff!

"Boom!"

The mountain trembled and the entire mountain crashed towards Yi Yun. He was using an entire mountain as a weapon to attack?

This was a real eye-opener for the audience.

Such a mountain formed from Yuan Qi was not something the Thousand Army Saber would be able to block.

Indeed, Yi Yun did not try to resist it.

He used his Minute Subtlety movement techniques to retreat.

"Boom!"

The mountain crashed into the Divine Wilderness Stage. People felt the entire arena tremble like a minor earthquake.

"To… be crushed by that mountain, it will probably cause death..."

People broke into cold sweat.

In the Tai Ah Divine City, killing someone in a battle was subject to at least imprisonment. But at that moment, Li Hong's eyes were red with murderous intent. How could he be bothered with imprisonment?

In the crowd, Yang Dingkun grinned.

Li Hong had not disappointed him. By conjuring the Heaven Opening Mountain, Li Hong had gained complete control over the situation. He was looking forward to seeing Li Hong smash Yi Yun into smithereens.

If that happened, not only would he win the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique', he could also have one less talented competitor that made him jealous in the future.

Actually if he had his way, Yang Dingkun wished that all of the geniuses in the Tai Ah Divine City, like Qin Haotian, Li Xiao and the Qiao brothers would all die in their training excursions.

The Heaven Opening Mountain smashed downwards again and again, but Yi Yun managed to dodge it each time. Although it looked like each attack imperiled Yi Yun, he managed to escape unscathed every time.

Facing different opponents who used different battle techniques had broadened Yi Yun's horizons.

A person like Li Hong gave Yi Yun an impression of a greedy and sinister person. It was unexpected that he could use such methods in the arena.

Yi Yun was cognizant of the fact that he had just embarked onto the path of martial arts. He would face a variety of opponents in the future. Some of them might not even be part of the human race.

They had all sorts of strange moves. If he did not take the opportunity to hone himself and broaden his horizons now, he might suffer greatly in the future.

The battle became more and more intense. Everyone stared wide-eyed, afraid to miss out on any of the exciting scenes.

The audience gradually realized that Yi Yun's movement was extremely fast. While Li Hong's mountain was huge and fast because it was powered by the laws, it was still difficult for it to crush Yi Yun.

And it seemed that Yi Yun had such a strategy in mind as he dodged again and again using Minute Subtlety.

Yuan Qi had to be consumed to power a mountain. It was not something that could be sustained.

At that moment, Li Hong grinned. "Trying to expend my stamina? Do you think my Heaven Opening Mountain is that simple?"

By willing it and pointing with his staff, "Split!"

Boom!

A thunderous rumble sounded, and the Heaven Opening Mountain exploded in the air, splitting into rocks of various sizes. Like stars in the sky, they enveloped the Divine Wilderness Stage!

The larger rocks were the size of a face basin, while the smaller ones were the size of a fist. The rocks were densely packed and surrounded Yi Yun.

"Do you think your Minute Subtlety is that great? How are you to dodge my attack now?"

Limitless - Chapter 136: Class Gathering

He pressed the receiver and a crisp voice came over the line.

"Why, now that you’re a big shot, you don’t even want to pick up a call from an old friend?"

"What big shot, those are rubbish rumors from outside." Chu Yu said impatiently.

"Okay fine, those are all rumors. So are you coming for the gathering on the 10th?" Cai Xue asked directly.

"I guess I won't go." Chu Yu laughed bitterly, "You should know that they would be happier if I don't go."

"That's a little..." Cai Xue laughed, "For a busy man like yourself, you've never really interacted much with the rest. It's okay even if you don't say anything, but haven't you been watching what the rest are saying? Now that everyone is revering you, we are all very proud to have someone as famous as you beside us!"

"Ya right." Chu Yu rolled his eyes.

Cai Xue’s pursuit of him had made him a public enemy of the guys. His rejection of her also made him an enemy of the ladies.

"Really, Chu Yu, I am not lying to you. All that I am telling you are truths!"

Cai Xue whispered, "They couldn't see how great you were then, and so they thought that you couldn't match up to me. They felt that you rejecting me was something unacceptable. However, now they realize your value and greatness."

Chu Yu chatted with Cai Xue for quite a bit. Cai Xue insisted that Chu Yu should come for this gathering. Chu Yu finally agreed in exasperation.

After all, they were classmates and he couldn't be so cold hearted.

On the ninth, Chu Yu took a car into Yan Jing and returned to his room in the city.

After a good night's rest, he hailed a taxi next morning and headed to the gathering place alone - the Flying Dragon Club.

It was a long time since he last came here.

When the Lord Thief had beaten up Xie Tianyu so viciously, there was quite a commotion.

However, even though the Flying Dragon Club was not particularly happy about it, they did not find any trouble with Chu Yu after the matter.

Chu Yu took the taxi and stopped right outside the Flying Dragon Club. A luxury sedan pulled up right next to him.

The window wound down and a handsome face was revealed. He smiled at Chu Yu, "Chu Yu, long time no see!"

"Niu Pengfei, it had been a long time." Chu Yu nodded, smiling.

"Someone of your stature is taking a taxi?" Niu Pengfei;s eyes flashed with mockery, it was not obvious, but he did not try to conceal it.

"I could have flew here, but I was afraid it would scare everyone." Chu Yu smiled.

"..." fear flashed past Niu Pengfei’s eyes.

He was not from a simple family, having been born into one of the superior families in Yan Jing.

He used to look down on Chu Yu, but he tried to maintained the culturedness and demeanor expected of a scion of a superior family. Thus, he never really bothered with ‘ordinary people’ like Chu Yu.

Yet, once they graduated, news of Chu Yu virtually never stopped.

Even though Chu Yu kept a low profile and never revealed himself online, the coverage of news about him was difficult to miss.

However, Niu Pengfei still looked down on Chu Yu.

According to his analysis, Chu Yu was only famous because of Song Hong.

Without Song Hong, who would know who was Chu Yu?

This was until the two live broadcast did people start to see Chu Yu in a different light.

This group of classmates were in complete disbelief.

They could not imagine that their classmate for four years actually had such scary power.

"Ah..." Niu Pengfei laughed wryly, then raised the window and asked his chauffeur to drive.

Chu Yu didn’t care about that too much. He was about to enter the club when he was stopped by the doorman.

"Good day sir, this is a private clubhouse..."

Before he could finish, he stared at Chu Yu, visibly stunned. Then almost as if he thought of something, he began to apologize profusely, "I am sorry young master Chu... I didn’t recognize you, please enter!"

Chu Yu nodded and entered.

The doorman wiped away the sweat on his forehead and murmured, "My gosh, it was that huge star... luckily I am just a doorman and he did not take offence."

After Chu Yu entered, he realized that many people were gathered in the banquet hall.

They were all familiar faces, after all, they had been together for four years.

When Chu Yu walked in, they were all happily engaged in conversation. However, all chatter stopped when they realized Chu Yu was inside.

Almost like a virus, the entire banquet hall became silent.

Everybody’s gaze was focused on Chu Yu.

Their looked at Chu Yu with puzzled looks.

At this point, from within the crowd, a beautiful lady emerged and greeted Chu Yu from afar, "Chu Yu, long time no see!"

Chu Yu also smiled, "Caixue, it has been a long time."

At this point, Caixue looked at the rest and said, "Weren’t you all just talking about Chu Yu? Why is it that now that he’s here, no one is saying anything? Everyone has graduated, and we are all pursuing our own careers, but you all can’t possibly think that just because Chu Yu is famous now, he won’t bother about the people he spent 4 years with?"

"Ha, how can it be, Chu Yu is our classmate, how would he ignore us?" One of the slightly skinny but bright eyed boys said.

Chu Yu nodded.

Meng Fei was one of the few people that Chu Yu got along well with in university.

"Now that Chu Yu is now famous. He was so cold and aloof in school, how will he still bother about us?"

This person was a slightly plump, freckled lady. Her mouth twitched as her despise of Chu Yu was revealed.

"Qiao Na, what are you saying? Chu Yu is still our classmate." Meng Fei frowned.

Even though he had heard much about Chu Yu, like how Chu Yu is the scion of the Northern Chu Family and that he was extremely powerful, he still treated Chu Yu like his classmate and friend.

He didn’t care too much about Chu Yu’s standing and ability.

Was it that just because Chu Yu was good he should not be happy for Chu Yu?

Qiao Na’s mouth twitched and laughed coldly, "Meng Fei, now that Chu Yu is powerful, it is no wonder you want to butter up to him, it’s okay... who doesn’t want to have a backer? But we couldn’t care less!"

She turned to look at the crowd, "Isn’t that right?"

"Qiao Na, that’s enough!"

Caixue’s expression was icy, her eyebrows scrunched as her chest heaved, clearly angry at Qiao Na.

Qiao Na shrunk, seemingly afraid of Caixue. She said weakly, "It’s not that I don’t like him..."

"Do you have to be like this even if you don’t like him? I invited Chu Yu, so do you plan to chase me out too?" Caixue’s tone was icy.

"No way..." Qiao Na looked on mockingly.

There were few who knew Caixue’s true identity in the class.

But Qiao Na was one of them.

It was rather coincidental that she found out about Caixue.

Qiao Na’s father is a low levell leader in the government.

When Qiao Na matriculated, she had seen Caixue and had a lasting impression of this beautiful girl.

Sometime later, when her father accompanied his boss to see an even higher ranking leader, he saw a group picture on that leader’s desk.

After subtly looking at it for a long time, he finally confirmed that the beautiful girl in the picture was Cai Xue!

However, the leader’s surname was not Cai. Only afterwards did her father realize that the leader’s wife... was a Cai.

After which, Qiao Na’s father called her home to tell her about this.

Ever since then, Qiao Na has been buttering up to Cai Xue. She had initially thought she was a princess simply because she was the daughter of a low level leader. However, in the face of Caixue, she was willing to put aside her ego.

Qiao Na did not expect that Caixue would still protect Chu Yu now, and shame her in front of others. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Furthermore, Chu Yu did not come on his own accord, he was invited by Caixue.

Caixue glanced at Qiao Na and said flatly, "I won’t hide the fact that I like Chu Yu from my classmates, but it is not Chu Yu’s fault for not liking me and rejecting me. Do you all have to target him like this?"

Then, Caixue took a deep breath, "Initially, I wanted to use this opportunity for us to gather happily. Regardless of what had happened before, those were back in our university days. But now I understand, regardless of whether Chu Yu is an ordinary man or an exemplary man, you will never change your opinion of him."

Many of the people looked embarrassed, their heads lowered, silent.

Caixue continued, "Since that’s the case, there is no point continuing with this gathering."

She walked to Chu Yu, "I’m sorry Chu Yu, I didn’t think it would be like this, let me make it up to you by treating you to a meal!"

Chu Yu looked at the fuming Caixue and smiled warmly, "You don’t have to be so angry, we are all classmates, and I can understand why they don’t really like me..."

Before he could finish, Caixue said, "Don’t say anymore, I know I am a large part of the reason. But I never thought that as students of Yanjing University and as schoolmates for four years... they would be so petty!"

"Caixue, don’t you think that this is a little too much? What do you mean by petty?" Niu Pengfei stood out and said flatly, "Don’t you think that is is normal that people would be unhappy that Chu Yu hid the fact that he was from an Underworld Clan from us?"

"I hid my own origins from you too!" Caixue said coldly, "So what? That is my own matter, what has it got to do with others?"

Niu Pengfei glanced at Caixue and smiled condescendingly, "That little bit of backing? You are merely... a descendant!"

Then as he spoke, his forehead became icy as he bellowed at Chu Yu, "Chu Yu, do you know the error of your ways?"

A strong aura exploded from Niu Pengfei’s body.

Everyone around paled and looked at Niu Pengfei in horror.

Everyone was completely stunned!

Caixue looked coldly at Niu Pengfei, "So what if you have some cultivation?"

Chu Yu looked at Niu Pengfei, thinking hard, yet he was slightly surprised.

Xiantian?

There was actually a Xiantian amongst his schoolmates?

Yanjing university... was really a place where powers hid!

Limitless - Chapter 135: Racing

The 5th day of the first month.

The entire China was still engulfed in the Lunar New Year spirit.

Even the most powerful sects were taking a break to celebrate the New Year.

The Chu Clan was no exception.

After so many tumultuous events, the Chu Clan had settled down significantly.

Not only did tough times make someone grow, they made a clan grow too.

Throughout the entire Lunar New Year, Chu Yu was in isolation.

He was only left with one final meridian not broken through.

All of his other meridians gushed with boundless energy. They glowed purplish golden and they were like a raging river, the limitless energy running deep and powerfully.

He was in no rush to breakthrough his final meridian, he was trying his best to harness this energy.

Even though energy was formless, it was supporting life.

Without energy, one could not do anything.

With boundless energy, one could smash through mountains!

The power of cultivators lay in their boundless energy. Furthermore, they were extremely good at controlling their power.

Chu Yu used a Heart Technique to cycle the energy through his body.

Finally, Chu Yu reaped the rewards!

He had a better understanding about the use and control of flowing energy.

He was almost there!

Chu Yu harnessed all the energy in his body. All of his thousand acupoints were like a volcano, spewing energy outwards. Each of his meridians boomed like thunder.

In an instant... all of the shackles on his final meridian were gushed open.

Boom!

All of Chu Yu’s meridians and acupoints had been completely broken through.

The energy combined again and again, growing consistently!

This was truly the Great Circle of the Invigorated Meridian Realm.

Chu Yu’s body radiated with a faint light.

He looked like a god as he sat there!

This breakthrough was not as simple as adding one to his power. He transitioned from a mere increase in power to an improvement in the very makeup of his body!

Chu Yu used the Killing Days Heart Technique to feel the changes to his body.

The powerful energy in his body, in the moment he entered Xiantian, had been upgraded into an even greater energy!

If his initial energy was metal, after entering Xiantian, it had become steel!

This feeling was extraordinary.

After controlling the energy in his body for over a day, he had officially entered the Xiantian Realm.

He was now a cultivator!

Then, he learnt two scared arts.

Racing!

Learning the sacred art was just like having a god helping you, one could learn it instantly!

When one learnt a sacred art during the course of breaking through, one did not have to put any effort into learning it or training with it.

It became instinctual, like the ability to drink milk when we are born.

No one needed to teach us, and we didn’t need to learn.

Realizing a sacred art was the same concept.

Chu Yu stood up and tried using the Racing Sacred Art to get out of his isolation location.

All the energy in his body rushed to his legs in an instant, then... he was gone!

This speed was too fast!

It was so much faster than a normal Xiantian cultivator!

Furthermore, Chu Yu’s body had a faint purple gas originating from his vertical eye.

This purple gas permeated Chu Yu’s entire body!

When he used the energy in his body, the purple gas combined with the energy in his body.

The originally formless and invisible energy was given a faint purple color!

The additional power from this energy was relatively terrifying!

Chu Yu used the Racing Sacred Art and arrived at the old camp of the Three Leaves Sect.

This place was now completely ruined.

The Three Leaves Sect had already left the place and disappeared.

There was no news of them, they could have returned to their pocket dimension or shifted to a place that no one knew about.

Chu Yu’s eyes did not have a celebratory glow, instead, he felt a wave of emotions rising.

For a sect like the Three Leaves Sect, how strong must their backing be?

Yet, because of a series of mistakes, they took the wrong path and ended up like this.

In comparison, an underworld clan like the Chu Clan needs to be more careful, each move of theirs was akin to stepping on thin ice.

Even so, no one dared to guarantee the future.

Chu Yu stood here, pondering.

After a moment of silence, he turned and left.

When he returned to the clan, he chatted with his parents before returning to his room.

He opened his messenger and found a pile of messages waiting for him.

Chu Yu’s messenger had always blocked strangers.

As such anyone who could contact him was a friend or family.

Many of these messages were messages of care and concern.

However, two messages caught his attention.

The first was from Fatty Fan Jian.

"Boss, when are we going to dig out the Red Bow? I received news that a few of the talents from large sects had also received news about this. We must act quickly, else, others may get there first."

Chu Yu’s eyebrows danced. He had quite an interest in this bow. However, with all that had been happening, he did not have the time or energy to pay attention to it.

Even though he had not forgotten about it, if not for Fatty’s reminder, Chu Yu would likely not have thought about it.

Chu Yu thought about it, then replied,"Soon!"

Fatty replied a few seconds later, "Aiya damn it... boss are you finally out? Don’t say soon... give me a definite date!"

Chu Yu replied, "I have to settle something, once I am done I will go and find you."

"Okay then, Happy New Year boss!" Fatty replied, slightly impatient.

Chu Yu looked at the other message and sunk into deep thought.

"Old friend, I didn’t expect that you would hide so well. Having been friends for so long, I had no idea that you were such a powerful guy. On the 10th day of the New Year, we will have a gathering at Yan Jing, will you join us?"

The person who sent this message was known as Cai Xue.

Cai Xue and Chu Yu had an incident before.

Cai Xue was Chu Yu’s classmate, and she was the prettiest girl in the school. She was tall, had white skin and long legs, basically the quintessential asian beauty.

In the first year of university, many of Chu Yu’s classmates were awed by her beauty and wanted to court her.

Of the entire class, Chu Yu was the only guy who never expressed any romantic interest towards Cai Xue.

As for the outside world, people of the same level, as well as those of higher level, all tried to court Cai Xue.

This girl was not arrogant, and she was even slightly naive. It didn’t take long for her to gel the entire class together.

Cai Xue was also extremely talented. She could make music, draw, read, sing, dance, there was nothing she wasn’t good at.

After he knew her for some time, he realized that she had a ton of hobbies too.

Rock climbing, hiking, flying aircraft...

Food, Travel, Diving...

She was adept at most of the things people knew about... as well as things unknown to many!

Exactly, she didn’t just know, she was fantastic at it!

Not only that, she was great in her studies too!

When she got into Yan Jing University, she had topped the entire nation!

She was great at physics, chemistry, mathematics...

That’s right, she even published papers and won all sorts of accolades in the various fields.

Her beauty would have been more than sufficient to seal her attractiveness.

Not only was she beautiful, but talented. This caused many to fall head over heels for her.

After she entered university, she quickly joined the Student’s Council. Planning events was no trouble for her.

As they knew more about this all rounded girl, her suitors began to despair.

There were even rumors that Cai Xue came from a powerful family.

Of course, these rumors were born out of thin air.

Cai Xue had never said so herself.

Such an exemplary girl should have had nothing to do with Chu Yu.

To be honest, Chu Yu was quite exemplary himself too, he was handsome and smart.

However, apart from that, Chu Yu... was an idiot in the other fields.

He never participated in any of the activities.

Even though he maintained good relationships with his classmates, he did not contact them often with the exception of a couple of them.

When in school, Chu Yu gave people the impression that he was extremely soft spoken.

However, what surprised everyone was that shortly after matriculation, the extremely talented Cai Xue began to pursue Chu Yu.

She didn’t do it secretly, she was openly expressing her love to Chu Yu.

This made the hearts of many of her suitors shatter, how could this happen?

This was even more surprising than elder Xiao Zhen releasing the magnetic seal!

However, the most shocking event was yet to happen.

Chu Yu rejected her!

Back then, no one believed that this was true.

Cai Xue’s failure in finding her love did not cause her to cower. Instead, she pursued Chu Yu even more vigorously.

This entire incident caused a huge commotion in the school.

No one could understand why Chu Yu would reject such a great girl repeatedly.

All the way until graduation, Chu Yu never accepted her love.

And Cai Xue had pursued him this way for four years!

During the graduation banquet, she drank a lot and cried in front of everybody.

Many of Chu Yu’s classmates could not take it any longer and chastised Chu Yu.

However, they were stopped by Cai Xue.

Many of the girls scolded Cai Xue for being so dumb, why be so obsessed with one guy?

Were there no guys left in the world?

They parted ways on rather bad terms after the graduation banquet.

Only after the scandal between Chu Yu and Lin Shimeng was released did everyone realize what was happening.

However, that did not ameliorate the anger people felt towards Chu Yu.

If you already had someone in mind, why didn’t you tell Cai Xue? Why did you let such a talented girl pursue you for four years?

After graduation, Chu Yu had virtually broken off all contact with his classmates, including Cai Xue.

Now that almost half a year had passed, Cai Xue’s sudden invitation for him to join the gathering made Chu Yu hesitate.

He knew that his classmates still resented him.

As such, deep down, Chu Yu did not want to go.

However, at this point, Chu Yu’s phone rang.

Seeing the name Cai Xue on the screen, Chu Yu smiled bitterly.

Limitless - Chapter 134: Tai Qing Speaks

After a long pause, Societal Elder Li Zhangming took a deep breath, looked at the deputy sect leader and the crowd and said solemnly, "We cannot handle it this way!"

"Why?" The deputy sect leader of the Rainfall Ancient Sect frowned.

Even though he was of a higher standing than Li Zhangming, it may not be very courteous to challenge Li Zhangming in public like that.

However, he wasn’t so stubborn to ignore the opinions of others. He waited patiently for Li Zhangming to explain.

"Disregarding the fact that we may not even be able to destroy the Chu Clan, who can ensure that the video will not be released? Now that we have set up a cultivation school, we do need to maintain a good reputation." noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Li Zhangming looked at the crowd and said flatly, "Does the Chu Clan want compensation? Then we’ll give them compensation!"

At this point, Li Zhangming hid the pain and sadness in his heart.

No matter how much pain he felt, his disciple, Qin Ming, had died, and it was impossible to revive him.

The deputy sect leader took a deep breath, he understood it now!

However, understanding aside, it was still humiliating!

What did this mean?

However, the deputy sect leader also knew that the one most humiliated... was Li Zhangming!

Not only did he have to take responsibility for the failure, he had to suffer the pain of the knowledge that his beloved disciple had misunderstood him, even at the very end.

In the end, this was a result of him not understanding the character of his disciple well enough.

The deputy sect leader pondered, then said, "How about this, I’ll go to the Chu Clan myself!"

The crowd was stunned and they looked at the deputy sect leader with admiration.

This was initially something for Li Zhangming to handle, but the deputy sect leader had taken the reigns, and the responsibility.

No wonder he’s the deputy sect leader, he was responsible!

Even Li Zhangming revealed a tinge of thankfulness.

The deputy sect leader waved them off, then sighed, "With things as they are right now, no one needs to say anymore. With such huge losses, if we don’t recover, we will all be dead. We are an entity, we will rise and fall together. I will go personally to the Chu Clan and invite Chu Yu over!"

Then, his eyes flashed with a vicious glow, "Once he joins us, all his possessions... will no longer be his!"

At this point, someone rushed in, an anxious look on his face. His voice quivered, "Deputy Sect Leader, Elder Li, this is not good! There is a video on the internet that is taking the internet by storm. The discussion online is not favorable to us!"

"What?"

"The video is spreading?"

"How did this happen?"

"This must be the Chu Clan!"

"How dare they?"

"Damn it!"

All echelons of the Rainfall Ancient Sect panicked, they were keenly aware of the implications of this video.

They knew that once this video spread, it would bring about immense negative consequences to the Rainfall Ancient Sect.

Qin Ming’s arrogance and so called "demeanor of a large sect’s disciple" had become that of a rude and brazen disciple. The beating he received from the two King’s Realm cultivators would also stun the viewers.

There was no lack of backseat analysts on the internet.

The Rainfall Ancient Sect’s thoughts and motives could have very well been analysed by someone!

What would they become?

Would they even be human?

More importantly, their guesses about Chu Yu would become public knowledge.

Even though the Rainfall Ancient Sect was strong, they were not the strongest sect.

They could only imagine the possibility of this spinning out of control if it was allowed to fester!

Once this blew up, the Rainfall Ancient Sect, who had already been disadvantaged, would lose the Crane Saint’s legacy forever!

Damned Chu Clan!

Did they not understand the damage this could cause?

The Rainfall Ancient Sect’s leadership were fuming.

Li Zhangming and the deputy sect leader went pale.

"What happened?" The deputy sect leader was extremely sullen.

The messenger said bitterly, "That video... was not sent out by the Chu Clan, it was... it was..."

"Who was it?" Li Zhangming glared at him, "If you’re not even coherent, why do we need you?"

"It came from someone on our side!" This man was forced into a corner and replied loudly.

Everyone on the scene went silent.

They were all stupefied.

"This video... wasn’t it just sent to us? How could it have been sent out?" The deputy sect leader’s eyes went red.

At this point, Li Zhangming’s personal cell phone rang. He glanced at it, frowned and picked up.

A roar came over from the other side, "Elder Li! Look at what the Rainfall Ancient Sect has done! We sent you the video out of goodwill, so that you knew what happened. We didn’t even leave a trace! But you all actually went to spread it! Now a bunch of people are here to ask if the Chu Clan has a secret, why else would the Rainfall Ancient Sect use such tactics to lure Chu Yu away?"

"Who are you?" Li Zhangming was fuming even though he knew the person on the other line was probably from the Chu Clan.

But how could someone from a clan as small as the Chus get his contact details?

"I am the leader of the Chu Clan, Chu Tianyu! Elder Li, even if you are the Societal Elder of the Rainfall Ancient Sect, this is way overboard! If the Chu Clan suffers because of this, the Rainfall Ancient Sect would be the main culprit!"

Before Li Zhangming could reply, the line went cold.

Li Zhangming’s expression turned crimson. It was extremely humiliating for a man of his standing to be chided by the leader of an underworld clan!

However, he could not possibly rebut him!

Some of them looked sympathetically at Li Zhangming.

Li Zhangming sighed and said, "Release a statement immediately. The two King’s Realm Rainfall Ancient Sect elders acted on their own accord..."

"Qin Ming was youthful and naive, he was hoodwinked..."

"The two King’s Realm elders wanted to scam Chu Yu... this had nothing to do with the Rainfall Ancient Sect!"

"The Rainfall Ancient Sect reasserts that we are a fair and equal sect, we will never do anything untoward to others."

"We condemn the actions of the two King’s Realm elders, as well as Chu Yu and the rest of the party..."

Li Zhangming spoke slowly, his pain was evident.

But he was determined!

In the end, even the deputy sect leader could not help but look at him in admiration.

At such a critical moment, he was able to make such a clear decision, albeit a really difficult for him.

Even though it seemed like he was pushing the responsibility outwards, everyone inside knew that he was taking all the responsibility upon himself!

When he returned, the sect leader would definitely interrogate him!

The death of the eight people will just have to be treated as their final contribution to the sect.

"Later, we need to compensate their families well..."

Li Zhangming said.

Everyone on scene sighed.

Only by keeping the Rainfall Ancient Sect above all this will it be possible to minimize the impact to them.

Even though there will be people who doubt the statement, at the very least, they could save some face.

After Li Zhangming finished, he seemed to age significantly, however, a vicious look appeared on his face and he grit his teeth, "At the same time, let people release news from the shadows that Chu Yu from the Chu Clan had indeed gotten a portion of the Crane Saint’s legacy!"

When he finished, he glanced at the deputy sect leader, "We definitely can’t get it anymore, and what we can’t get, others can also forget about getting! As for the Chu Clan, we will let this wolf be ripped to shreds by the surrounding lions!"

The deputy sect leader contemplated this for a long time before saying, "Indeed we can’t get it anymore."

As he said, his expression became sullen, "Send someone to find out who exactly... released the video."

Li Zhangming’s face revealed his fury, "Investigate, get to the bottom of this!"

Even though the Rainfall Ancient Sect’s statement was released quickly, it was just as they expected, barely a saving grace.

Almost all of the chatter on the web was chiding them.

The Rainfall Ancient Sect was extremely spiteful. They believed that there were other ancient sects involved in the chatter.

This was too humiliating!

They lost men and power!

They had been beaten.

However, news that Chu Yu had gotten a portion of the Crane Saint’s legacy had spread eventually.

The Chu Clan was once again pushed to the corner.

However, even before the news picked up pace, Tai Qing, a super huge sect released a statement.

"The solar system is the center of the cultivation world and the Earth is the core. In the ancient times, the earth experienced a catastrophe. Countless ancestors lay down their lives in order to seal the world and retain a spark."

"This was once an incredibly prosperous land. The number of sects here was countless!"

"Now, many of the life forms outside of this world are plotting to make a return. All of our cultivators are following in the footsteps of our ancestors and training hard. We will face the enemy together!"

"It is of little importance if Chu Yu has the Crane Saint’s legacy or not, he can be called a young talent. If the youth continue to compete, they can become stronger. Through trials and tribulations, they get stronger. It is only natural that some will die in the process."

"However, if an ancient sect, clan or family... shamelessly uses the might of their sect to oppress someone younger, how is that any different from being a robber?"

The statement from Tai Qing was released from their verified account and posted on China’s largest social media site.

The entire internet burst into chatter!

"Tai Qing ah... the legendary large sect, they must be the most powerful ancient clan now?"

"This seems to be the first post from Tai Qing, and it is actually in defence of Chu Yu?"

"It is said that Chu Yu’s sister Chu Xi is a Tai Qing disciple. Thus, it is perfectly logical for Tai Qing to protect Chu Yu."

"There is too much information here, who can explain it to me?"

"I think that Tai Qing makes many valid points. We do not really know what happened in the ancient days. However, we were clearly invaded, else, the scale of destruction would not be so great. As such, the enemy from before could come at anytime! Yet, we are targeting a young man based on some rumors."

"You ancient sects, as the torchbearers of civilisation, is this how you guide us? Aren’t you ashamed by your action?"

Tai Qing’s voice was not just impactful, it criticised many of the ancient sects.

The main sect it was criticizing was the Rainfall Ancient Sect!

Even the Rainfall Ancient Sect did not expect the impact of the statement from Tai Qing.

The cultivation school set up by the Rainfall Ancient Sect began to experience a high dropout rate.

Many of them silently left the Rainfall School and join the Truth School!

The Truth School had also released a statement, "Chu Yu is a real talent, regardless of whether you have the saint’s legacy, the Truth Ancient Sect will be willing to give you any form of aid and convenience!"

Many of the Rainfall Ancient Sect members were angered to the point of puking blood when they saw that.

Chu Yu continued to ignore them all.

Regardless good or bad, he did not care about them.

He was in isolation, trying to breakthrough his final meridian!

He wanted to finish the foundation and enter Xiantian!

Limitless - Chapter 133: They will pay for this

The entire area had lost all sense of life.

The entire area was ashen, almost as if it had been torched. There was no remnant of life, with the exception of the ashes.

The area enveloped by the amulet was extremely close to Chu Yu.

It wasn’t even a hundred meters away!

That terrifying wave of death had scared him into a bout of cold sweat!

Even until now, Chu Yu was still a little confused, unsure of what had exactly happened.

However, he could guess it from Qin Ming’s final words.

There was definitely a motive for the Rainfall Ancient Sect to want to recruit him!

For example, they may have suspected that he had the Crane Saint’s legacy. They wanted to get it from him sneakily. They could also have suspected that he had a superior technique that allowed him to defeat a Xiantian at the Invigorated Meridian Realm?

Qin Ming, without knowing what was going on, had acted perfectly. He had put his entire emotion into this act.

In the end, he had been deceived by his own sect!

He had been completely trashed up!

How embarrassing.

At that point, he was so humiliated he wanted to die!

In the end, he did not mind killing the people from his sect in order to express his despair and anger.

The Rainfall Ancient Sect had wanted to use this show to move Chu Yu, but they didn’t expect Qin Ming to be the one to spoil their entire plan...

This kind of accident even made Chu Yu incredulous.

At the same time, Chu Yu was angry.

The leaders of the Rainfall Ancient Sect were really so treacherous!

If not for Qin Ming spoiling everything, he could have very well been hoodwinked.

Afterall, Qin Ming’s arrogance was real and from the heart.

Who would have thought that there was a trap in this?

Through Qin Ming’s arrogance and his subsequent punishment, it would have expressed the Rainfall Ancient Sect’s fairness... the subsequent apology could have moved him.

If not for the fact that Qin Ming had spoilt it all, Chu Yu really could not guarantee he would not be moved by that act.

What a bunch of b*stards!

Serves them right to die here!

Everyone in the Chu Clan were speechless, through the surveillance system, they had witnessed everything.

Initially, they were extremely confused about what the other group was doing; by the end, it was clear.

Qin Ming, who was being used, started off great, arrogant, oppressive, egotistical... he had fully embraced the superiority of being a disciple of a huge sect.

However, upon realizing that the sect wanted to recruit Chu Yu by stepping all over him, he could not take it any longer!

Upon finding out that he was being used, he completely lost it!

If Qin Ming’s master had told him the motive behind recruiting Chu Yu, this may not have to end up this way.

Sadly, a bunch of leaders tried to do things in secret. Qin Ming’s master wanted to train his most beloved disciples. The two King’s Realm elders were also slow to react.

These factors amalgamated to cause this situation to spiral out of control.

The academics in the Chu Clan very quickly analyzed the entire situation from beginning to end.

They took out a few copies.

They sent them to leader Chu Tianyu and deputy Chu Tiannan.

Even Chu Yu, upon request by the two leaders, was given a copy.

This treatment was unprecedented in the entire Chu Clan, but no one thought it was unfair.

He had been the key in resolving multiple major incidents. Even the slowest of the Chu Clan could tell that Chu Yu’s future was boundless.

Chu Yu read through a few of the analyses. He nodded silently at the one closest to the truth - just as he had guessed.

Afterwards, Chu Yu was summone2d by the two leaders.

"How do you think we should handle this incident?"

Chu Tianyu looked at Chu Yu and said solemnly, "The Rainfall Ancient Sect is not like the Three Leaves Sect. They have an incredibly strong foundation and influence. If we are not careful, we could lose our advantage."

Chu Yu smiled, "For this, the Rainfall Ancient Sect must keep quiet and admit to it. Give them a copy of the entire surveillance tape, then send condolences on behalf of the entire Chu Clan."

Chu Tiannan smiled, "Exactly what I thought! This was them finding trouble for themselves, what does it have to do with us?"

Chu Yu thought about it, "That’s right, also tell them this has affected us and we have suffered huge losses."

The two leaders looked at each other, then at Chu Yu quizzically.

Chu Tiannan said, slightly unsure, "What you mean... is that the Rainfall Ancient Sect should compensate us?"

"Of course!"

Chu Yu nodded righteously, "They are a bunch of maniacs, coming to our territory to play this game of perishing together, causing us huge losses. Not considering the loss of wildlife, they also scared me!"

Chu Tianyu and Chu Tiannan were speechless.

Chu Yu said seriously, "Is it too much to ask for some compensation for our losses when we express our condolences?"

"It doesn’t seem like it was too much..."

Chu Tiannan and Chu Tianyu looked at each other, but felt that there was something that wasn’t quite right.

...…

"It was too much!"

"Too much!"

"They had only heard that the Chu Clan was arrogant, Chu Yu incredibly so. Only now did they realize that it was an understatement!"

"They want us to compensate? Is this a joke?"

"I finally understand what is a frog in a well, not knowing how huge the sky is!"

When the first of the Rainfall Ancient Sect found out about the Chu Clan’s notice, they all exploded.

They were mad with fury.

Some of them even burst out laughing. They felt that it would be a huge humiliation to the Rainfall Ancient Sect if they didn’t teach the Chu Clan a lesson.

The Chu Clan was extremely demanding. They couldn’t figure out if they were just weird or simply crazy.

They first thing that they expressed were their condolences, saying that they had personally seen eight of the Rainfall Ancient Sect’s disciples die. The Chu Clan were all saddened by the loss.

However, the death of the eight Rainfall Ancient Sect disciples had caused huge losses to the Chu Clan. They hoped that the Rainfall Ancient Clan could compensate them for it.

Why don’t you all just die?

To be honest, the people of the Rainfall Ancient Sect did not even believe that all their people had died!

They felt that the Chu Clan was crazy.

In the end, right behind came the group of people in charge of contacting Qin Ming. They reported that they couldn’t reach all eight of them.

After which, the complete surveillance tape arrived from the Chu Clan.

After watching it, the entire Rainfall Ancient Sect went silent!

They were like mutes, all of them were speechless.

After watching the video, anyone with a brain could tell that this incident had nothing to do with the Chu Clan.

Saying that they were the victim was not crazy, nor was it a death wish, it was a perfectly reasonable request.

From the video, it was clear that only one person from the Chu Clan was involved.

That was Chu Yu!

However, the only thing that Chu Yu did that was slightly out of line was kick Qin Ming after being driven into a corner.

Then, he had told the two King’s Realm cultivators of the Rainfall Ancient Sect to return to where they came from.

That was all!

Anyone who watched it would side with Chu Yu.

Even the people of the Rainfall Ancient Sect did not think that Chu Yu was in the wrong after watching the video.

Qin Ming’s actions were really arrogant to the point that people wanted to smack him!

Okay, Chu Yu was slightly arrogant too, but people were bullying him at his doorstep, was there anything wrong with taking the action that he did?

His demeanor was similar to his character in the past two live broadcast.

Introverted but domineering!

To be honest, Chu Yu was not a high profile person.

Even though news about him had been spreading, he had not replied to any of them.

For example, rumours about him and Lin Shimeng; or Xie Tianyu’s multiple attempts on his life over Lin Shimeng which resulted in the loss of Xie Tianyu’s life; or his 16 years without cultivation and subsequent recovery after taking a pill from Song Hong, turning him into a powerful individual...

But Chu Yu never revealed himself.

Even though there were many voices raising various opinions about these, Chu Yu himself never appeared.

Regardless good or bad, he never saw the need to explain himself.

This calmness could not even be replicated by many of the famous people.

But Chu Yu did it.

As such, everybody’s impression of Chu Yu was formed only through watching the two live broadcast.

It could be said that the two live broadcasts finally gave the world an insight into Chu Yu.

Many people realized that Chu Yu did not seem similar to the man they had heard about.

Firstly, he did not seem at all disadvantaged when compared to the disciples of the large sects!

Secondly, even though he was young, he was relatively courageous!

The Rainfall Ancient Sect’s impressions and guesses about Chu Yu were also formed after watching the two live broadcasts.

It could be said that this was the root cause of the death of eight of their disciples.

Qin Ming’s own master, the Societal Elder Li Zhangming watched the entire video. Afterwards, especially when he heard Qin Ming’s last words... his eyes turned red and he couldn’t help but close them.

Tears still fell from his face.

"Jerk! Careless! How stubborn!"

Li Zhangming’s tears rolled down his cheeks. He could not believe that his most beloved disciple would end his life that way.

To be honest, even he was not willing to use that amulet.

He had given it to his disciple to save his life at the most critical moment!

Who could say that he was truly unafraid of death? Who could be that calm?

That amulet was like a nuclear bomb, I can not use it, but I have it!

If you want to kill me, we will all perish together!

"Aish..."

The Rainfall Ancient Sect’s leadership were left speechless by the result. They could only sigh.

One of the deputies was the highest in rank after Li Zhangming.

After a moment of silence, he said solemnly, "The Chu Clan... must be punished, regardless if they are right or wrong. Else, if this video is published, it would be catastrophic for us!"

Everyone in the audience went silent.

This was too big an issue, they didn’t dare, and didn’t want to voice an opinion.

Punished? How?

The Chu Clan has poison. No one even knows how the poison looks like, much less found a cure for it!

People had tried to find trouble with the Chu Clan, but none had succeeded.

"Deputy sect leader, we cannot do that."

Limitless - Chapter 132: Perish Together

Qin Ming was being beaten viciously and he lay there howling.

Even though they did not go all out, and made sure that they did not land any life threatening blows, the attacks from two King’s Realm cultivators was extremely torturous, so much so that Qin Ming hoped for death.

Ping ping pang pagng!

"Why are you hitting me? What did I do wrongly?"

Pitter patter!

"What are you two trying to do? Are you trying to murder the chief disciple of the societal elder?"

Bang bang bang bang!

"F*ck me, are you two crazy? When we return, my master will never let you off! You dare to hit me?"

Pa pa pa pa!

"Please, I’m begging you, stop hitting me, I was wrong, I know I made a mistake... ah, it hurts so much, please stop hitting me, I really know my mistake..."

This scene had stunned Chu Yu, who was not far off. He thought to himself, What is this?

Are you all trying to act like you’re disciplining your disciple in front of me?

The two King’s Realm cultivators finally stopped and looked angrily at Qin Ming.

One of them stared icily at him, "Do you really know what you did wrong?"

"I was wrong, I really know my mistake!" Qin Ming’s eyes were swollen shut, his head looking like that of a pig’s.

His nose bridge had already collapsed from the kick by Chu Yu.

Now, he was given such a vicious beating by his own elders that his mother would not be able to recognize him.

He cried, "I really really do know my mistake, stop hitting me."

"Ok, then tell us, where did you go wrong?" The other King’s Realm elder looked in the direction of the Chu Clan and asked solemnly.

"I, I shouldn’t... shouldn’t..." As Qin Ming spoke, he felt that he was wronged.

He thought to himself, I didn’t do anything wrong!

Master and so many elders asked me to bring the aura of a huge sect’s disciple!

And I did!

Not only was I beaten by others, I was even beaten by my own people!

How wronged could I be?

The more Qin Ming thought about it, the more he couldn’t stand it. He cried, "I shouldn’t have come!"

F*ck!

The two King’s Realm cultivators looked at each other, angered half to death.

They couldn’t help but hit Qin Ming again.

This time, they hit him more viciously. They were clear that if they didn’t complete the mission, Qin Ming’s master would give him a more vicious beating!

They may also have to take some responsibility.

The thought of this made them more angry!

This time, Qin Ming was really injured, and rather badly.

Initially, he could still moan and groan in pain. In the end, he could only whimper.

Chu Yu, who was looking on from the shadows, thought to himself, Is this necessary?

Even if Qin Ming had insulted him, was it necessary for two powerful cultivators to beat up one of their juniors so badly?

Unless...

Chu Yu frowned, an icy glow flashing past his eyes as he thought to himself, You’ve rehearsed this before haven’t you?

"Do you know your mistake now?" One of the King’s Realm Elders looked at Qin Ming and asked again.

"Elder Xu... please tell me... where I went wrong." Qin Ming forced out his words through the pain.

He had no more energy to feel wronged and angry. All of his emotions had been emptied from him. He had no energy to think of anything, all he could do was close his eyes and dull the pain.

Elder Xu glared at him. He did not have a good temper and really wanted to beat Qin Ming up further after hearing that.

Elder Sun immediately restrained him and shot him a glance. Then he said solemnly, "What is the Rainfall Ancient Sect’s ancient teaching?"

Damn it... not only are you two not dead, you still want to test me on the Rainfall Ancient Sect’s ancient teaching at this time? Just wait, one day, I will kill you both myself!

Even though Qin Ming had no energy and was hurting to death, a burning rage still formed in his heart.

However, at this time, he did not dare to reveal his discontent. He could feel that both the elders were prepared to kill him.

"The ancient teachings are..." Qin Ming began to recite all of the Rainfall Ancient Sect’s ancient teachings.

Any one of the huge sects and clans would have similar teachings. They were to treat people with compassion and work hard to improve oneself.

However, as the sect grew bigger, there would be disciples who stray off.

If the leader was one of those, then the entire sect... would be brought along that path.

The Rainfall Ancient Sect’s ancient teachings were all great teachings. Each and every disciple had to memorize them when they entered. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

When Qin Ming recited, "One must treat others sincerely and be humble", Elder Sun stopped him and asked solemnly, "So, did you do it?"

"I... did not." Qin Ming had a sudden realization, and he more or less understood why he had been beaten.

"When you carry yourself like that, where is the culturedness and demeanor of a huge sect’s disciple? Think about it, when you came out, what did the elders instruct?" Elder Sun was expressionless as he chastised Qin Ming solemnly.

Qin Ming cried and said breathlessly, "They wanted me to bring out the arrogance and demanor of a huge sect’s disciple..."

"Is that what you understood?" Elder Sun did not want Qin Ming to say anymore, this was enough.

He looked at Qin Ming disappointedly, "What is the demeanor of a disciple of an ancient sect? Humbleness and low profile! What is the arrogance of a disciple of a large sect? It is to treat people sincerely! It is to be grounded as a person! Tell me... which part of these have you done?"

Qin Ming cried without tears. He thought to himself, Was this the intention of the elders? Do you think I am stupid?

They obviously wanted me to use my aura to stun that woodlouse Chu Yu!

As someone from a small clan, shouldn’t he be kneeling in the face of a huge sect?

However, he didn’t dare to say this, any idiot would have understood it by now.

The sect’s leadership valued Chu Yu!

Even if you value Chu Yu, why set me up?

The hate and anger in Qin Ming’s heart reached a maximum. Even though he was arrogant, he was no idiot.

Who couldn’t understand that the elders in the sect, including his master, were ganging up in a huge performance!

And he got the short end of the stick!

Everyone was in on it, he was the only one who didn’t know what was going on.

He had run headfirst into the spear. When it all fell apart, they blamed him for being a bad actor!

How hateful!

Elder Sun’s lecturing continued. He chastised, "Don’t you know how much the sect’s leadership value Chu Yu? I think jealousy had blinded you!"

"Chu Yu’s talent is undoubted, and he was a genius since young. Even though he was forced into a break in the middle, once he recovered, he rose in an instant!"

"Do you not honor such talent?"

"We have been warning you to be more humble and low key when meeting with Chu Yu. As a disciple of an ancient sect, you cannot be arrogant or impatient, you must be cultured!"

"But you used your identity as an ambassador and ignored us the entire way!"

"We will report this back to the leader when we get back. He will punish you severely!"

"Else, if everyone is like you in the future, the reputation of the Rainfall Ancient Sect... will be tarnished for generations!"

"..."

Qin Ming lay there, eyes staring into the sky, not saying anything.

By this time, his heart was dead!

He did not understand why the sect was doing this to him, and he did not understand why they valued Chu Yu so highly.

He only felt that his heart was completely dead.

Even his master, whom he had always treated like his own father, was in on this!

How hateful!

Qin Ming’s eyes went blank, but his heart was filled with vengeance.

Elder Sun was still going on and on about the teachings.

Even Elder Xu felt that Elder Sun was getting a little naggy. He thought to himself, Enough is enough, so long as Chu Yu understood what’s going on.

Now, with you going on and on, you have already gone off topic!

Ahem...

Elder Xu coughed lightly then said, "Elder Sun, take a breather, no matter how degenerate Qin Ming is, he is still our junior. Let’s not air our dirty laundry here. The important thing is to apologize to young master Chu.

A King’s Realm cultivator was relatively powerful in this day and age.

To apologize to someone not even in the Xiantian realm was awkward for them.

However, in order to get hold of Chu Yu’s secret and the Crane Saint’s legacy, they did it anyways.

Haha, they still had to apologize.

Qin Ming lay there, his heart despairing.

For some reason, at this point, he no longer hated Chu Yu, who had kicked him.

At least he was a man!

He was not a coward!

What about himself? What was he?

He had been used by his sect, by his master, and beaten up by his elders...

Qin Ming always had an amulet on himself.

This amulet had a terrifying name, it was called, "perish together"!

This name was given to it by Qin Ming himself, and it was a treasure bestowed upon him by his master!

When he thought of his master, Qin Ming had a sour, despairing feeling.

The man who treated him like his own son, the one who he treated like his father... had changed!

After becoming the Societal Elder, he had changed completely!

Hahahaha!

Qin Ming laughed coldly inside, his heart turning to ice.

No matter what, he wasn’t related to him by blood... he could give him up anytime.

Masters are fathers and disciples are sons? Lies, all lies!

At this point, Qin Ming had been possessed, he could no longer see sense.

He could no longer fight his inner demons. He shook as he summoned every last bit of his strength to retrieve the Perish Together amulet.

He laughed pitifully, "Master, you have trained me for so many years, brought me up, made me a talent. If you asked me to die, I would not have said a second word. I would go through hell for you! But you lied to me! Why did you lie to me? I am sorry master, I cannot convince myself to accept this face. Enough... master!"

"What are you doing?"

The short tempered Elder Xu’s eyebrows raised as he looked angrily at Qin Ming, "You wastrel!"

Elder Sun felt the danger and frowned, "Qin Ming, don’t throw a tantrum!"

Qin Ming laughed as he looked at the two King’s Realm Elders disdainfully. He did not even look at the others.

He murmured to himself, "Worthless is it? Then I shall show you my worthlessness! Tantrum? I shall throw you a real tantrum!"

As he spoke, he activated the amulet without hesitation.

In an instant, the amulet shot out blinding rays of light!

Almost like a sun, it radiated with boundless light!

It was blinding!

Even though it was high noon, the light from the amulet masked the sun’s light.

The entire space became white!

"No! This is not what you think..." Elder Sun’s body went cold as he retreated.

Elder Xu followed closely behind, he could feel that wave of terror and wanted to flee.

At this time, anger was secondary, their life came first!

Then, everything ended.

This amulet was something Elder Li had gotten from an ancient monument. After it found out what it was, he had hesitated very long before giving it to his disciple.

It wasn’t for suicide, but for the preservation of his life!

This thing was like a nuclear bomb, you could only use it to scare people, but you should never use it!

But Qin Ming, in his despair, did not hesitate to use it!

Maybe, in his final moments, he regretted it.

But it was too late.

The amulet did not release any earth shattering noise. Its boundless light enveloped the entire area within a thousand meters.

The light only lasted for a little over 10 minutes.

Then it began to fade!

After the light faded, the entire area... was blank.

It was filled with death!

The eight Rainfall Ancient Sect people... were completely vaporized.
