Limitless - Chapter 230: Yan Xudong

The chaotic energy was dense and it was impossible to see what lay within. A plane of light separated the two worlds.

Someone in the group said, "Is this the ancient world? It had a clear cultural break from our world?"

"I think the Devastated World isn’t that ancient. For all you know, it was ravaged by the saints back in the day." Someone joked.

Anyone here would easily be some of the most talented in the Mirror World.

They did not fear saints as much as others and did not feel intimidated enough to stop joking around.

"I think not." Yan Xudong said slowly and deliberately.

The entire crowd went silent. No matter what, he was the most powerful youth in the Mirror World and a True Lord Realm cultivator.

Even though he was still young, his abilities and experience were greater and better than any of his peers.

The one who just joked was a tier two school talent.

A cultivator at the pinnacle of the Supreme Realm.

He looked at Yan Xudong humbly, "Does Senior Yan know something about the Devastated World?"

Yan Xudong said, "I once read an ancient record which said that all the devastated worlds in the Mirror World were at least billions of years old. Furthermore, these worlds were once Immortal Worlds."

Everyone was stunned by this revelation.

Chu Yu was also in awe, It was indeed different to be the disciple of the top school. He had access to such records?

"Senior Yan is wise, can you tell us more?" Someone added.

　　

Yan Xudong smiled, "Why not?"

Then, he explained more about the world before the Mirror World.

Even Xu Xiaoxian was engrossed.

　

Clearly, even Xu Xiaoxian had not heard about these.

　

According to Yan Xudong, the Immortal Worlds were once incredibly powerful and prosperous.

Much bigger than the Mirror World!

"The records say that it was once a limitless world and the Village of Cultivation paled in comparison."

"That was an incredibly illustrious time and the various beasts all hit the pinnacle of cultivation and were termed immortal animals and divine beasts! They were some of the most powerful beings in their original state!"  noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

They were all still youths, even though they had high cultivation levels, they were not as mature as their seniors.

Yan Xudong described what he had read about this prosperous era in great detail.

He spoke freely, possibly thinking that everyone there was ‘on the same side’.

"Everyone here knows that the cultivators in the Solar System have a mysterious Dao that allows them to improve faster than others. Everyone here also knows that by killing the aborigines of the Solar System, we can gain Dao and get closer to..."

Chu Yu hid amongst the crowd, his gaze icy.

Kill the aborigines...

Well said!

After entering the Mirror World, Chu Yu had matured a lot.

If this was the Chu Yu of old, he may have acted rashly and revealed his intent to murder.

If he had done that, it would definitely be felt.

"The Solar System has saint legacies in abundance and all sorts of superior resources... weapons and treasures left behind by the powers. But this is just one side of it."

Yan Xudong’s stance was commandeering and he asked, "Do you all know why so many saints wanted to attack the Solar System and sacrifice their lives in the process?"

"Isn’t it so that us, their descendants, can have an easier path towards sainthood?" Someone in the crowd said.

"That is just one reason, but it is not the most important one." Yan Xudong smiled faintly, "The main reason is, those saints wanted to become Immortals!"

This silenced the crowd.

Immortal!

This was a mysterious and cryptic topic.

It was not forbidden.

　

Because it was too far fetched!

Even the best talents just wished to become saints one day.

Once they made it to saint, they could last forever and become one of the masters of the universe!

Was this not enough?

What benefits did being an Immortal give?

Chu Yu was silent, he never expected that his own home was this powerful.

His understanding of his own home was worse than that of an outsider.

An enemy to be exact!

He smiled bitterly and thought of a saying, Sometimes, those who know you best are not your friends and family, but your enemies!

This was applicable even in the grand scheme of things.

　

He only knew one facet of his own home.

But these people who wanted to attack his home had done much research and planning.

Yan Xudong felt the awe of the crowd and said flatly, "I am a big fan of history, so I read these ancient records in my free time. That’s why I only know a little more than all of you. To be honest, I don’t know much about Immortals, I only know that they are an entity many times stronger than a saint."

He paused, then continued, "Saints... are known as the masters of the universe, the people who set the rules. But whilst the saints can set rules, they cannot break them! For example, we all know that the Mirror World was formed by our ancestors using an incredibly powerful technique. But once the world forms, it has its own set of rules. Even the saints who formed the world must abide by these rules! They do not have the power to break them!"

Everyone looked at him seriously.

Yan Xudong continued, "But Immortals can break these rules easily! They can form and annihilate worlds with a single notion! The endless universe is just their playground. Time is meaningless."

"Brother Yan, I don’t mean to interrupt, but I have a question." Qin Wei, from the ninth ranked Grand Distance School said suddenly.

　

Yan Xudong recognized Qin Wei and nodded warmly, "Junior Qin, please go ahead."

"Senior Yan has told us that Immortals are beings many times more powerful than the saints, capable of destroying and creating worlds at their whim. But I don’t understand, why would this world become devastated. Are you saying that there are even more powerful beings?"

Qin Wei’s question had been bugging many of them too.

Even Chu Yu thought about it.

Yan Xudong nodded, "That’s a good question and the records that I read implied that too. Of course, that is what I read and does not represent my views."

Then, he looked at the crowd, "Saints don’t die, but Immortals are eternal. We live in a world that is both perishable and non-eternal. As such, after some time... of course this time would be very long, billions or even trillions of years... anyways, it’s of little importance to us."

Everyone laughed lightly.

Exactly, billions or even trillions of years were of little significance to the people here.

"That ancient record said that there is a type of catastrophe that is targeted at Immortals, the Immeasurable Catastrophe. We are unable to find out what it means though.

Yan Xudong continued, "Every time the Immeasurable Catastrophe arrives, even Immortals are affected. No one is spared. This is a way to even out the playing field. After all, the Immortal Realm is too advanced. However, energy is limited and the universe must maintain balance. If someone is about to disrupt this balance, it could mean that an Immeasurable Catastrophe is looming."

Yan Xudong’s words were completely foreign to Chu Yu.

Xu Xiaoxian was also listening intently.

She used the Voice Transmission Technique to speak to Chu Yu, "If we have the chance, we must develop ourselves in the Sky Dazed School, and we must be part of the most stellar talents. Only then can we easily access information not known to us before."

Yan Xudong continued, "As such, the Solar System is a very special place. It is said that there is a direct path there that will bring you into the Immortal Realm!"

Yan Xudong had just dropped a bomb on all of them.

"There is also another piece of relatively reliable information. Back then, during the attack on the Solar System, one of our ancestors, a powerful saint, saw... someone disappear on the path to Immortality in the Solar System with his own eyes! However, in the moment he disappeared, the entire Solar System’s Dao increased manifold and Immortal Rain fell to the Earth!"

Everyone looked at Yan Xudong, stunned.

Someone murmured, "He saw someone become an Immortal? This... is unbelivable, what is Immortal Rain?"

Yan Xudong explained, "In the records left behind by that ancestor, that Immortal Rain will let any cultivator below the level of Divine Lord raise their cultivation level by one rank!"

Hiss!

Everyone gasped.

This was incredible.

Unimaginable!

Seeing someone become an Immortal with your own eyes, then Immortal Rain that could help cultivators in the Divine Lord Realm and below breakthrough?

Even Chu Yu was awed by what he heard.

He murmured to himself, Could this guy be bragging?

But little people thought that way.

With Yan Xudong’s status, he had no need to brag.

Yan Xudong looked at all their shocked expressions and smiled faintly, "Actually, I only have one purpose for telling all of you this."

Everyone’s expressions became stern.

Yan Xudong said, "Just like what my senior had said just now, we are all on the same side! We are all the talents of the Mirror World! We... have the same goals and ideas. As such, we are not enemies. In the near future, we will be the closest brothers in arms, fighting alongside each other!"

Everyone roared their approval.

Chu Yu laughed icily in his heart, Young man, how naive, who is on your side? I am from Earth! And I am here to destroy you!

"I hope that after we all enter the devastated world, no matter what kind of opportunities we get, even if we get...." Yan Xudong’s expression became stern, "But finder’s keepers! All of you better not try anything funny. If I find out, I will not let you off!"

Xu Xiaoxian used the Voice Transmission Technique and laughed, "He wants to be the leader, later let’s give him some trouble."

This was the first time Chu Yu agreed to Xu Xiaoxian’s suggestion so readily.

"Sure thing!"

Limitless - Chapter 229: Arriving in the Devastated World

The entire cultivation world valued bloodline greatly.

Blood, body makeup were all congenital.

A powerful bloodline and body makeup would give you a headstart.

All of the Heaven’s Pride talents were people with extraordinary bloodlines and bodily makeup.

　

If it was a discussion purely on bloodlines and bodily makeup, then the life forms in the world did not differ greatly.

It wasn’t that the cultivators from the Village of Cultivation were more superior in terms of blood and bodily makeup when compared with the Heaven’s Pride Talents of the world.

The key was that the bloodlines of the cultivators from the Village of Cultivation had a very mystical Dao!

This was the added advantage of the Village of Cultivation!

This is a strand of Dao that other cultivators would go crazy over.

They wanted to massacre cultivators from the Solar System just to gain this Dao.

As such, the Crane Saint surmised in the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture that once all the seals in the Solar System were broken, the cultivation speed of cultivators there would far exceed everyone else!

This statement gave Chu Yu quite the confidence boost.

Else, he really felt helpless when faced with the Heaven’s Pride talents of the Mirror World.

Furthermore, the Mirror World was full of powerful cultivators.

There were also countless powers hiding in the shadows.

If the Solar System cultivators did not have any special advantage, they would be completely annihilated when the seal is broken and the Mirror World launches their second attack.

But now, we still have hope!

Chu Yu thought to himself.

The humongous flying saucer kept flying through the air. By this time, it was already reaching speeds past Mach 10, and it was still accelerating.

The vast expanse of the Mirror World flashed by below them.

　Some of their mountain ranges were millions, and even tens of millions, miles in length!

Occasionally, they would also spot flocks of flying beasts flying along the mountain range.

This was a world that hid many secrets.

After three days of flying, the saucer was in the depths of the Mirror World.

　

It started to slow down.

Over the past few days, Chu Yu had been reading and understanding the pill recipes at the back of the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture.

He kept finding things that surprised and awed him.

　　

Many of the pills and medicine were completely foreign to him.

Before this, Chu Yu had never expected that one could use pills to form a magical formation with tremendous power!

Many of those pills were pills that Chu Yu could not refine at his current cultivation level.

Other than understanding the pill refining techniques and the medicine, the cultivator’s level and power was incredibly important too!

　

Chu Yu realized that he was extremely talented in the pill refining field.

Of course, he would not give up his pursuits in battle cultivation.

The Crane Saint had expressed his regret for focusing his time and energy to pill refining, neglecting his battle cultivation.

If he had been just as good in battle, then he could probably take down against tens, or even a hundred saints in battle.

"I want to be able to do that too!"

Chu Yu thought to himself.

Xu Xiaoxian virtually slept through the three days.

She woke up, then fell asleep, woke up, then fell asleep.

Chu Yu wondered to himself, Does she cultivate through sleeping?

Xu Xiaoxian stretched, then yawned. She turned her head to look at Chu Yu, "Are we there yet?"

"Almost." Chu Yu replied.

Qin Wei finally learnt his lesson and didn’t try to talk to them.

Inside the flying saucer, all the other delegates from the school remained silent.

Devastated World.

They all thought that they were just visiting a set of ruins.

But this place was incredibly dangerous, and the threats here would make anyone tremble with fear.

Even though the Devastated World they were entering was explored before, there were many cultivators who were laid to rest whilst exploring these ruins.

Completely destroyed.

In the moment it reached the Devastated World, the flying saucer descended. Looking out the window, one could feel a magnificent aura from the surroundings.

　

They could feel the age and aura through the windows of the saucer.

It felt like something from the ancient times had touched the hearts of those in the saucer.

　

There were some powerful cultivators from the Sky Dazed School who were leading this expedition. In the moment the flying saucer landed, they stepped out to remind everyone.

"In the Devastated World, there are a multitude of opportunities, but dangers are everywhere as well! I do not dare wish for teamwork and cooperation, but please do not kill each other."

He surveyed his surroundings and said, "You are the future of the Mirror World, and you carry the responsibility of attacking the Village of Cultivation. We are all old, all we can do is to guide you along and ensure that you grow up safely."

"Furthermore, you are all the top talents of the Mirror World. I will now reveal some information to you in advance."

He paused slightly, then said, "After so many years of hard work, the seals on the Village of Cultivation are beginning to loosen. We estimate that a path to it can be paved in three years time."

Excitement was plastered over most of their faces.

　　

Xu Xiaoxian was relatively expressionless and didn’t react.

　　

Chu Yu’s heart sank.

This man continued, "However, that path... can only be accessed by cultivators in the True Lord Realm and below. But it’s alright, before long, the breach will get bigger and more powerful cultivators can pass through."

"And you all... will be the first batch to enter!"

Everyone’s breathed harder and faster.

They all knew what being the first batch to attack meant!

They could do as they please and massacre the entire Village of Cultivation!

They could hoard the resources there and the Dao from the bodies of the people they killed!

　

They could also collect and hoard the legacies left behind by the powerful saints!

Chu Yu’s heart turned cold, rage building up in his gut.

But he suppressed it.

"As such, this expedition into the Devastated World is a good opportunity for all of you. I hope that you all will expand your horizons and be more accepting of each other!’

Even though his voice was not loud, it was clear and motivating.

He smiled, "This is because, all of you have a future in the Village of Cultivation!"

Chu Yu could clearly feel the passion building up in all their bloods!

Chu Yu maintained a superficial smile, but his heart was cold.

Xu Xiaoxian’s gaze swept over Chu Yu. I wonder how this guy is feeling now? I’m guessing he intends to kill all of the youthful talents here?

Then, the doors opened and everyone rushed out.

As his feet landed on the ground, Chu Yu shut both his eyes, his vertical eye sprinting into action. He looked out for hundreds of miles and saw the Devastated World, covered by a chaotic ball of energy.

He was already calming down.

He only had two motives on this mission.

First, he wanted to find more opportunities to raise his own cultivation level and battle power.

Then, if he had the chance... kill more of his enemies!

As for who his enemies were... anyone other than Xu Xiaoxian was his enemy!

There may be one other exception.

That was Lin Shi.

Chu Yu did not expect that she would come on this expedition!

Ever since she found a new master, she had not shown herself. On this trip over here, Chu Yu did not see her either.

He didn’t expect her to have such an opportunity in a talent saturated school like the Sky Dazed School.

This showed how much her master, the Butterfly Dance Immortal, valued her.

Chu Yu stood far away from Lin Shi, but he could still feel that mystical aura from her body.

There were also tones of iciness.

Beside Lin Shi was a handsome young man. He was over 1.9m in height and he suppressed all of his aura.

His eyes were full of life!

Yan Xudong!

The number one talent of the Sky Dazed School!

He was already a True Lord Realm cultivator!

He was the number one ranked Heaven’s Pride talent in the entire Mirror World!

He did not even participate in this edition of the championship.

If he did, even Xu Xiaoxian would not stand a chance.

It was said that he had already attained the small circle of Worldly Heaven Technique.

All these years, no one had seen him use a weapon.

However, it was said that Yan Xudong was most adept at using a spear.

Chu Yu looked at Lin Shi complicatedly from afar. He knew that Lin Shi had indeed cleansed her memory and emotions.

The pain in his heart grew as he knew that Lin Shi no longer recognized him.

He suppressed the urge to rush up and talk to her.

Other than those two, the other tier one schools all sent their top talents.

These tier one schools formed a little clique and engaged in small talk, ignoring the rest.

　

Every now and then, the disciples from, the tier two and three schools would look over in envy.

At this point, the Sky Dazed School cultivator in charge of this expedition announced, "We will wait here for your return. You have three months! After three months, we will leave. If you plan to stay here for more than three months, you will have to make your own way back."

Everyone listened quietly.

Then, this powerful cultivator nodded, "Okay then, good luck!"

All of them moved towards the Devastated World.

Xu Xiaoxian walked next to Chu Yu and used the Voice Transmission Technique, "After we enter, follow me. I know a place with a great opportunity. If you can understand it, you will be rewarded with a superior sacred art!"

Chu Yu nodded and whispered, "Thank you."

Xu Xiaoxian smiled, "You must be careful of these people."

Then, she looked at the group of students from the tier one schools, "Even though they look harmless, each one of them is a vicious, evil killer!"

"You seem to know them very well?" Chu Yu asked.

"Yup, before I entered the Solar System, I spent time in all the top 10 schools." Xu Xiaoxian smiled and did not elaborate.

The journey was a few hundred miles, but this was nothing for these cultivators.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the entrance to the Devastated World.

Limitless - Chapter 228: Secrets of the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture

After entering the flying saucer, he realized that the interior was quite ancient. Under than a few working screens, there weren’t very many high tech items.

The interior was spacious and comfortable.

Xu Xiaoxian was getting some shut-eye next to Chu Yu.

Her current appearance was that of the adorable girl when she entered the Sky Dazed School.

However, many people recognized her. She had used this identity to compete in five rounds!

Furthermore, virtually all her opponents in these five rounds were the top talents from tier two schools!

One of them was even a talent from a tier one school. He was named Qin Wei, and came from the ranked nine school, the Grand Distance School.

　

However, he lost after a single move from Xu Xiaoxian.

This time, Qin Wei had come on this expedition as well, and he was accompanied by a youthful lady.

Qin Wei coincidentally sat to the side of Xu Xiaoxian. Seeing that Xu Xiaoxian was resting, he smiled, "Senior is great, I lost that round handedly."

"Do you have something to say?" Xu Xiaoxian opened her eyes and blinked, looking slightly lost.

Qin Wei smiled in embarrassment, then continued, "Even though I lost this time, when I go back, I will work hard and surpass you!"

　

"Oh, then work hard." Xu Xiaoxian closed her eyes again, leaning back on the luxurious chair as she slept.

Chu Yu was expressionless, but he wanted to laugh his a**s off.

It was clear that Qin Wei wanted to get close with Xu Xiaoxian, but Xu Xiaoxian was steely and this made the scene quite awkward.

However, in front of so many talents from superior schools, he could not say much.

All he could do was turn over and talk to the young girl accompanying him, "What has junior prepared for this expedition to the Devastated World?"

This young girl was quite pretty and had the face of an infant. Her eyes were beady and lively, her brows were thin and her hair was mushroom shaped.

　

Hearing Qin Wei, she turned her head innocently, "Ah? Do you have something to say?"

"..." Qin Wei’s expression darkened and his lips twitched, "Nothing."

"Oh." The mushroom haired girl nodded then turned her head as she stared out the window.

Chu Yu felt that Qin Wei was slightly pitiful. He wanted to flirt, but that didn’t work. Then, when he tried to communicate with his own junior, he was rebuffed.

Silence is golden, this was an age old principle that could be used anywhere!

Never would he expect that Qin Wei would look at him, "I recognize you, you are the one responsible for the rise of the Purple Cloud, Song Hong!"

For this expedition, the superior schools could choose who they wanted to send.

As such, no one cared if the person coming was a teacher or a student.

The higher ranked the school, the less the participation from teachers. Virtually all of their representatives were their superior student talents.

However, amongst the tier three schools, many of them still sent their teachers.

　　

Some of their teachers were once the top talents in the schools.

After the graduated, they chose to stay in the school. Some of them stayed for a couple of years, others for a couple of centuries. For some, they spent the rest of their lives in the school.

In the school, they had access to all sorts of cultivation resources. Furthermore, schools who could make it to tier three were no worse off than the largest countries.

Based on power and combine ability, the tier three schools were already a force to be reckoned with!

Chu Yu looked at Qin Wei and suddenly thought, What if I replied with, "Do you have something to say?"

Qin Wei would go crazy!

As such, Chu Yu only nodded faintly and said, "You flatter me."

"You don’t seem very old, but your pill refining skills are extraordinary. May I know where you are from?" Qin Wei asked Chu Yu.

Chu Yu shook his head, "That’s not convenient to say."

Qin Wei was once again rebuffed and he turned away, feeling like he chose the wrong place to sit.

The rest of the journey finished in silence.

The giant flying saucer cut through the air at unimaginable speeds. Millions of miles were covered in the blink of an eye.

But the Mirror World was so big it seemed almost boundless.

Not only did the flying saucer fly quickly, it was relatively quiet.

This flying saucer flew at a speed many times the speed of sound and covered gargantuan distances in a single breath.

Initially, those who recognized each other still chatted a little bit.

But as time went on, the atmosphere became more and more silent.

Chu Yu was catching some shut eye, silently trying to internalize what he had learnt from the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture.

He was stunned!

He had already thought that the Crane Saint’s teachings were quite awesome, but he never expected it to be this powerful!

　

He could use heaven and earth as a furnace and stars as his ingredients to refine an entire galaxy!

This type of pill was known as the Galaxy Pill!

Of course, not everyone could eat this pill.

According to the Crane Saint’s predictions, even an ordinary saint would die from eating the Galaxy Pill.

Only the rare few who managed to reach the pinnacle of the saint realm dared to try such a pill.

According to the Crane Saint’s predictions, this pill could make one an Immortal!

What is immortal?

Chu Yu was just discussing this with Xu Xiaoxian moments ago.

But, their understanding of immortals were superficial.

Even the most ancient annals did not have records about immortals.

　　

Chu Yu guessed that there may have been a huge break in civilization!

After all, based on scientific records before the seal on Earth was lifted, the universe had experienced the Big Bang. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

　　

According to calculations, this Galaxy had existed for over 20 billion years, possibly even longer.

　

On the other hand, the ancient annals in the Mirror World, many of them written by saints, postulated that the galaxy was actually over 50 billion years old!

With such a long lifespan, no one could say for sure how many glorious eras it had went through.

He had just read the chapter from the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture. The Crane Saint had admitted that all that was in this chapter was mere postulation.

The Galaxy Pill recipe was also something he chanced upon when trying to analyze a weapon.

He had the ability to refine it, but never tried it out before.

The Galaxy Pill originated from a sword.

In the early years, he had travelled the universe and found an ancient sword in an ancient, devastated world.

It was extremely ancient!

Even a saint could not determine which era the blade was from!

The blade was three feet long and an inch wide. It was still in pristine condition!

According to the Crane Saint, that blade was incredibly sharp. As a saint with an incredibly strong and hard body, his skin was also broken by a light swipe of the blade.

The Crane Saint had not seen the four legendary killing blades before.

But he felt that this blade was no worse than those four.

Perhaps, it was even more powerful!

Even though the Crane Saint was a saint, he was a medicinal saint. Even though this superior weapon was attractive, it was not as attractive as a superior pill furnace.

As such, even though he was very happy to gain such a weapon, he didn’t think too much of it.

He only took it out to analyze its era once on vacation.

That was when he found some anomalies.

He realize that this was not just an ordinary sword, but a technique manual!

Much of Chu Yu’s awe was due to this discovery.

　

He did not expect the Crane Saint to record it in this much detail in the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture.

And this sword still remained on Earth!

After realizing that the Sword was extraordinary, the Crane Saint took tens of thousands of years before realizing that it was actually a technique manual.

But he couldn’t understand it.

Most of his concerns were about how to use it to advance his pill refining techniques!

Only now did Chu Yu realize that the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture and the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace were not lost items.

They were left there by the Crane Saint on purpose! They were for the future generations to find!

Contrary to what the legends say, the Crane Saint had actually participated in the battle aeons ago.

Not only did he participate, his level of participation... was quite high!

He was one of the backbones of that war!

When one attained the level of saint, they were able to see things from a completely different perspective.

The ancient chinese had a saying, "Heaven and Earth were not compassionate, they viewed everything beneath them as dogs."

Most saints treated the general populace that way too. Furthermore, they thought about problems at a higher order and a larger perspective.

Unless it involved other universes attacking them, they would not action easily.

Even though the Solar System was incredibly powerful and had many saints, they were overpowered by a pack of wolves, countless superior powers from other universes slashing their way into the Solar System.

They wanted to annihilate everyone in this galaxy!

Then, they would bring their descendants over here and benefit from the luck and opportunities here.

No matter how strong the saints in the Solar System were, they could not fight the swarms of attackers.

Blood flowed like rivers as they gave up their lives in the defense of the Solar System.

　

The entire galaxy was ravaged and devastated!

Those who had come from the other universes were stunned by the prowess of the Solar System defence.

But there were just too many enemies!

When defeat was certain, the Crane Saint, together with the other powers, sealed up the entire Solar System and left.

They disappeared from the face of the universe.

Before they left, many saints left their legacies and teachings behind.

The Crane Saint left the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture, the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace and that sword.

However, that sword was stored somewhere else.

The reason was simple.

If the person with the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture and the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace could not read this far, then he/she could not do anything with the sword either.

Furthermore, he/she may become a target for assassins!

　　

According to the Crane Saint’s postulations, anyone who could understand this much of the Immortal Crane Pill Furnace was at least a Divine Lord level cultivator.

Little did he expect that his teachings would fall to someone as extraordinary as Chu Yu.

He could understand a good half of the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture as a Supreme Realm cultivator.

But this was a difficult chapter to read.

Chu Yu’s awe was immeasurable.

There were records of the bloody battle back in the day, postulations on Immortals, as well as some hypotheses about the sword.

The saints did not hold back any information when writing their legacies.

　

As for the rest of the chapter, they were pill recipes. Anyone who could read this far would have no problem understanding the rest.

The Crane Saint had postulated that if one could solve the mystery of the sword and refine the Galaxy Pill, that may be the key to becoming an Immortal.

That way, the crisis of the Village of Cultivation may be averted.

The war of the ancient days had ravaged the Solar System, but many of the powerful saints in the other universes were either dead or seriously injured.

However, after 60 million years of recuperation, a sealed world was going up against... a world which has not stopped growing for the past 60 million years.

The difference in power could only be imagined!

The Crane Saint had said that the advantage the Village of Cultivation had was in their blood.

Limitless - Chapter 227: Finding Trouble

The Purple Cloud School’s leadership had already been informed of this and thus, there was no conflict about who was going to go on this expedition.

The two people going were Chu Yu and Xu Xiaoxian.

As for the other superior schools, the ones who were going were the students who did well.

The place they were going to was known as Devastated World.

It was a corner of the ancient ravaged world that existed before the Mirror World.

There was a law governing the Devastated World. It suppressed all the life forms in it, limiting them to only the power of a True Lord.

Even a saint would not be spared and would only be able to bring to bear the power of a True Lord.

When Chu Yu first heard this, he had found it unbelievable.

He wasn’t shocked by the suppression, but he was astounded by the fact that the Devastated World could suppress a saint.

Ever since he stepped into the cultivation world, his understanding of it had increased everyday.

After coming to the Mirror World, his horizons had been expanded immeasurably.

All this while, he had thought that saints were the strongest beings in this universe.

But the Devastated World could suppress saints.

This was completely unexpected!

Didn’t that mean that there were powers exceeding those of a saint in this universe?

A saint could smash an entire world and annihilate a galaxy easily!

How could people of such ability be suppressed by the rule of a single world?

Chu Yu had read widely, but had never seen a similar record.

He asked Xu Xiaoxian about it.

Xu Xiaoxian said, in the ancient annals of the Heavenly Demon Cult, there were records on the world that existed before the Mirror World, and there were murmurs about ‘Immortal’.

But, they did not explain further, only stating that this was a being without equal.

　

It was unimaginable and unfathomable.

"Immortal? Being without equal..."

Chu Yu felt a wave of emotions. On Earth, he had heard countless stories about various gods.

But he had always thought that the gods referred the the powers who were aliens.

They had technology, ability, and lifespan far exceeding that of humans.

He was one of very many on Earth who held this view.

As the world was unsealed, people gradually began to understand the cultivation world.

People began to think of the gods and deities in the legends not as aliens, but as cultivators.

Cultivators had a long life span.

It was only normal that they were seen as infallible deities to the people on Earth.

Since he entered the cultivation world, Chu Yu was not particularly sensitive towards the phrase ‘gods’.

They were just powerful cultivators.

The immortality of the saints was what every cultivator was after.

Else, there wouldn’t be so many people maniacally trying to attack the Solar System.

After hearing what Xu Xiaoxian had said, Chu Yu’s mindset shifted slightly.

Are there really powers higher than that of saints in this world?

Ignoring time and space... with the ability to suppress saints?

If this is the case, why did this place become devastated?

Who had smashed it?

How did this place look like initially?

And... where were those immortals now?

Saints were all unable to die, so what about these Immortals?

Did they leave this universe?

Did they enter a space of higher complexity?

Chu Yu had many questions.

Xu Xiaoxian told him that if they managed to get lucky in the Devastated World, there was a chance... that they could find some related traces,

"Then, in the millions of years prior to this, has there been any news from here?" Chu Yu addled.

Xu Xiaoxian shook her head, "There have been people who benefitted greatly from exploring this place, but I haven’t heard any news about Immortals and the world that was here before."

The universe was humongous, and humans were insignificant in comparison.

In comparison to the age of the universe, even the most powerful cultivators and the most superior saints were mere infants.

　

The whole thing about humans deciding the future was just saying it for the sake of it.

The saints were known as the rulers of the universe, yet, they too had places Tunney could not enter.

Not to mention the extremities of the faraway universes, even the Devastated World left behind in the Mirror World had the ability to suppress saints.

Chu Yu laughed bitterly and shook his head, feeling like he was thinking too much, and too far.

He was not even in the True Lord Realm, a far cry from attaining saint...

He helped Fang Lie find a permanent residence, gave him a few pills, and had him wait there.

Even though Fang Lie was a slave, in Chu Yu’s opinion, Fang Lie’s future would not be too bad either.

Fang Lie was the first person that he met whose Nascent Soul had an attribute.

Chu Yu’s techniques were not many, so he didn’t try to guide Fang Lie.

He planned to find some related magical equipment and techniques to pass on to Fang Lie.

Thousands of students came over from the Song Country.

Ever since they became a tier three school, they could stay in the Sky Dazed School for a month for free. Furthermore, they could use all the facilities within their designated zone!

This interaction and practice was a great opportunity for people in the Purple Cloud School.

As such, they were not bothered even if the Sky Dazed School accused them of being freeloaders. In fact, they did not mind paying for themselves either!

As for the Sky Dazed School, this was rather insignificant and not worth any mocking.

Many of the tier two schools numbered in the thousands!

As the number one school in the Mirror World, they had the fortune and ability to host such a crowd.

Yuwen Xiaoxiao and the others were virtually celebrities.

It was no exaggeration, these once rowdy girls were unbeaten in the championship, smashing all the opponents in their way.

Everyday, tier three schools would come visit them at their residence.

They would come asking for advice, pills, contact information...

On social media, billions of people were watching their every move.

However, these girls kept a low profile.

At this age, they were ripe to be rebellious and wild.

But they all knew how they had gotten this far.

"Let’s not give Old Song any trouble or draw hate in his direction."

Yuwen Xiaoxiao had suggested this and gained everyone’s approval.

The night before the expedition, Yuwen Xiaoxiao came over to find Chu Yu.

She was slightly worried that Chu Yu may be in danger after entering the Devastated World, so she came over specially to pass him a magical equipment.

This was a black windbreaker embroidered with gold dragons.

"Old Song, this windbreaker is a True Lord level battle armor. It’s best used defensively. It can block the attack of a True Lord."

Yuwen Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Yu seriously, "It has been tested before and can defend against an all out attack by a True Lord for over an hour!"

"So powerful?" Chu Yu used his vertical eye to observe this windbreaker. He was shocked to find out that the embroidery was actually a magical formation!

At the same time, the windbreaker had over a dozen unique magical formations!

These magical formations buffed each other, and could stand alone as well.

Chu Yu did not know much about magical formations, so he did not understand it fully.

　

But he could feel that this was a real treasure.

"It’s cool den period is about three days." Yuwen Xiaoxiao continued, "Everytime it runs out, the magical formation needs time to recuperate."

"Xiaoxiao, thank you." Chu Yu was extremely comforted.

"Old Song, you are our leader, nothing can happen to you." Yuwen Xiaoxiao’s exquisite face revealed traces of worry.

"I heard much about the Devastated World from others recently. I heard that it is very dangerous, furthermore, you must beware of those that are going in with you. When met with opportunities, few can be as.... people like you are rare, no, virtually none!"

Chu Yu smiled, "What about me?"

Yuwen Xiaoxiao glanced at him, blinked, and whispered, "If we still can’t guess by now that we are learning a saint’s technique, then aren’t we all a little stupid?"

"That’s what you say, I didn’t say it." Chu Yu smiled.

Yuwen Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned red, "Actually, my family has some saint techniques too. They are equally terrifying and powerful, but I was not qualified to learn them."

Chu Yu finally understood.

Yuwen Xiaoxiao’s talent was undeniable.

Not counting Song Binbin and Yan Xiaoyu, all the initial 12 girls were incredibly talented!

Anyone of them would rank amongst the top in the world!

But in the Mirror World, there were many rules that mimicked those of ancient China.

There was still a culture of not teaching the best techniques to the girls.

The only exception was when the girl was an incredible talent who would rise regardless of whether she learnt the superior techniques!

One example of such a lady was a youthful talent from the second ranked school, the Purple Light School, named Qin Mingyue.

The Qin Clan was one of the largest clans in the Mirror World, and was home to the saints behind the attack on the Solar System many years ago.

For a clan like this, they had living saints at their disposal, much less saint’s techniques.

However, she did not have the right to train with them because she was borne by a concubine and she was a lady.

In her anger, she left her home and entered the Purple Light School.

In the Purple Light School, she managed to train with saint’s techniques and became the best amongst her peers in the shortest possible time!

Yuwen Xiaoxiao sniffled, then smiled widely at Chu Yu, "As such, not only are you our Sensei, you are our benefactor! Our master! You’ve treated us so well, how can we not follow you forever?"

"What if one day, I want you to betray the Mirror World and betray your families, what would you do?" Chu Yu smiled and asked.

"There’s such an opportunity?" Yuwen Xiaoxiao’s eyes brightened, "Are you for real? Do you have a powerful background we don’t know about? Can we start causing trouble again?"

　　"..."

Chu Yu was utterly speechless and sent the excited Yuwen Xiaoxiao in her way.

What a bunch of rowdy kids, unable to take things seriously.

All they thought about was causing trouble.

What kind of f*cking trouble did they want to cause?

.

Chu Yu complained to Xu Xiaoxian.

After hearing the story, Xu Xiaoxian burst out in laughter, "I like this disciple of yours. When we get back, I will advise her, then bring her along to cause trouble!"

Seeing Xu Xiaoxian’s excitement made Chu Yu feel like he could never let her come in contact with his students.

Else, they will all become uncontrollable.

Over a thousand people entered an incredibly humongous... flying saucer in batches!

That’s right, this was a flying saucer!

It was tens of thousands of meters wide!

It was made of a particular metal that gave off a solemn feeling.

It looked like the flying saucers that Chu Yu had seen in Sci-fi movies.

He couldn’t help but laugh bitterly inside.

The people on Earth thought that they were a technological world? An Immortal Hero World?

They were actually just an ignorant world living in their own fantasy.

Now that he was immersed in this world, he realized that... this was a similar world!

Limitless - Chapter 226: A Country in Celebration

The next day, on stage.

Xu Xiaoxian took on the appearance of one of the youths from the Purple Cloud. Faced with the icy, murderous Leng Ao, she cupped her fist and bowed, "I’ve seen senior before!"

　　

Leng Ao went through the motions of cupping his fist. He did not even bother hearing who his opponent was.

It didn’t matter who it was, his heart was filled with murderous intent.

He just wanted to kill his opponent in the shortest possible time, regardless of who it was!

Ever since Lin Shi had become a disciple of the Butterfly Dance Immortal, the comments had not stopped coming.

The Divine Warfare School lost their disciple and was still coming under pressure from this incident.

The entire Mirror World was chiding them.

Up till now, this incident had not calmed down.

Every time Leng Ao stepped out the door, he felt like people were looking at him mockingly.

This infuriated him and he felt like he was going crazy.

By now, he was already losing himself.

He could barely control his own actions!

　

Xu Xiaoxian looked at Leng Ao and sensed the terrifying wave of force from his body, but she remained calm.

Many of the spectators worried for her. Even though the Purple Cloud was quite the dark horse, it was unlikely that they could win against a talent like Leng Ao.

"Begin!’

The judges for the main competition were the teachers from the Sky Dazed School.

For some of the major rounds, the sensei from the Sky Dazed School hosted them personally.

　　

For example, this round today was judged by a Sky Dazed School sensei.

This man was in his forties, had dark skin and a stern expression.

　　

In the moment he declared the start of the round, Leng Ao lunged!

　

The scythe in his hand swung towards Xu Xiaoxian’s head!

　

This attack could split a mountain!

　

The space on stage seemed to be sliced in half by the attack.

A terrifying wave of energy dissipated to the sides as a blade aura filled with killing intent flew right at Xu Xiaoxian.

What a maniac!

In the face of such an attack, even Xu Xiaoxian did not dare to take it lightly.

She used her body techniques to radiate a magnificent wave of energy. In the moment she dodged Leng Ao’s attack, she rushed at Leng Ao.

"You want close combat?"

Leng Ao’s eyes flashed with a glint of mockery/

He swung his scythe.

Sweep!

His attack looked simple, but it had many variations.

　

He was extremely adept with the scythe and his murderous intent filled the entire space.

Regardless male or female, he only wanted to do one thing.

Kill!

Everyone watching was silent.

The entire spectator stand was filled. The combination of a dark horse and a tier three school expert duking it out drew much attention.

Many people thought that Xu Xiaoxian would leap into the air to dodge Leng Ao’s second strike.

However, Xu Xiaoxian’s advancing body suddenly bent backwards!

She was clearly charging forward, but at this point, her body arced backwards.

It looked so confusing and conflicting.

Leng Ao didn’t expect her to dodge this way.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Xiaoxian should jump upwards, then all he had to do was swipe upwards...

Then... Bam!

She would be cut in half!

The scent of fresh blood spewing out of her body... would give him immeasurable satisfaction.

　

However, this person could stop mid charge, bend over backwards... then fall to the ground.

　

Did he think he’ll be fine?

Naive!

　

Leng Ao also stopped his movement, then quickly chopped downwards at Xu Xiaoxian!

Everyone watching gasped in amazement.

How intense!

Each attack was out to kill!

There was no room for error!

The battle was white hot even before the spectators had gotten their rhythm!

In the moment Xu Xiaoxian fell to the ground, Leng Ao’s scythe came down on her.

However, her body shot out like an arrow, her head trailing behind her feet as she dashed towards Leng Ao’s feet.

Bong!

Leng Ao’s scythe impacted the magical formation protected stage, sending sparks flying.

Xu Xiaoxian was already in front of him!

Leng Ao retreated hastily. All of a sudden, his scythe broke into two, forming a short scythe and a short pole.

The short scythe was aimed at Xu Xiaoxian’s feet whilst the short pole went for Xu Xiaoxian’s head!

How powerful!

Even without considering his cultivation level, Leng Ao’s battle prowess placed him amongst the best in the Mirror World.

　

Xu Xiaoxian’s body became like a snake.

Almost as if she was boneless!

　

She leapt into the air in an unbelievable fashion!

　

The speed at which she leapt up was too quick, and Leng Ao was too used to his technique that he could not react in time.

Xu Xiaoxian raised both fists, one directed at Leng Ao’s heart, the other at Leng Ao’s liver.

Bang!

The strike on his heart was almost like hitting an incredibly hard metal plate and the accompanying clang was proof of that.

　

At the same time, Leng Ao’s heart area burst out in bright light.

There... was a defensive magical equipment there!

Xu Xiaoxian moaned. Her hand was injured, and her bones likely broken.

However, Leng Ao also screamed in pain, then flew off the stage.

Xu Xiaoxian’s second hit on his liver area had seriously injured him.

Leng Ao spat out a mouthful of blood below the stage, almost losing consciousness.

Everyone watching was stunned by what they saw.

So fast?

The entire battle was over in the blink of an eye!

Leng Ao’s chop, sweep and swipe.

Then, the split of his scythe into two.

Two moves.

Xu Xiaoxian’s dodge, fall, charge, rise, and two fists.

One move!

Then, Leng Ao was sent flying, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

The Purple Cloud School... was so vicious!

Was it necessary?

The two of them did not even use any sacred arts.

This was pure battle power!

Leng Ao’s battle techniques were tried and tested, how else could he have killed and injured so many people?

In previous battles, he rarely used the sacred arts either.

In the Divine Warfare School, his battle power was also one of the best.

But no one expected that the Purple Cloud’s unknown student could defeat him with a single blow.

The spectators fell silent, then, erupted!

The people from the Divine Warfare School rushed forward to save Leng Ao, the rest of them were green with horror.

　

No one would have thought that Leng Ao would lose to such an unknown opponent!

Chu Yu was in awe as he watched the judge announce the Purple Cloud’s victory whilst Xu Xiaoxian walked off the stage.

Through these challenges, he could see that Xu Xiaoxian was extremely adept at battle.

From start to finish, she did not use the same techniques and style in each battle.

　

Before becoming this person, she would study what this person is good at, including their character!

She was as meticulous as she could be!

It was so meticulous one could not differentiate between the two of them!

Other than the fact that these students were much more powerful than they actually were, everything else was completely the same!

This was really a powerful technique.

If she had took on the appearance of a lady, it might have been easier.

But most of the people from the battle section were males!

Each of them had a different personality, yet, Xu Xiaoxian could imitate them extremely well.

　　

Even the friends of the person she was disguising herself as could not tell the difference!

This was her true skill.

Other than this, this girl’s technique and skill with magical formations was definitely at least that of a guru!

That day, at the Sky Auction Institution, if not for her skills with magical formations, they were definitely no match for the Divine Lord.

Xu Xiaoxian returned to the Purple Cloud Camp and smiled, "I followed your instructions."

Chu Yu nodded, "Good job!"

　

Only the two of them knew what was going on.

Xu Xiaoxian had helped Chu Yu get back at Leng Ao.

She used the Voice Transmission Technique to tell Chu Yu that the blow she dealt to Leng Ao will cause him to be bedridden for at least a week.

Even with superior healing medicine, he will not heal so quickly.

Anywho, Leng Ao’s tour in this championship had come to an end.

In the following challenges, the Purple Cloud began to slow down and control the pace of their victories.

By the last day, the Purple Cloud School, who had no more rounds left, was ranked 47th!

This was an awe inspiring ranking!

They had so little people that virtually everyone competed in the maximum five rounds.

To be able to get such a result surpassed everybody’s expectations.

　　

The Mirror World was raving about this school. This dark horse was unbeatable!

　

It was no exaggeration to say that the Purple Cloud School’s story would be told for generations to come.

This was the most glorious day in their history!

All of the teachers and students felt like they were living a dream.

Only after the competition ended and a high ranking Vice Principal from the Sky Dazed School announced the results did they slowly recover from their daze.

However, in the Song Country, the entire country... was celebrating!

The Purple Cloud School, the Purple Cloud Constabulary, various Song cities...

The ramifications of these were great.

Being able to become a tier three school meant that the Purple Cloud School would be entitled to large amounts of resources, techniques... and privileges from the Alliance of Schools over the next decade!

More straightforwardly, not only would they be rewarded for their ranking, as a tier three school, they were given one more month to stay in a special zone within the Sky Dazed School.

They could go to the library in this section to study!

This was the real treasure!

Even though many of the students did not actually take part in the battle this time, they gained much from the rewards. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

They were all rather talented youths, and having a month to roam the libraries of the Sky Dazed School would benefit them greatly in their growth.

Perhaps, in 10 years, they may represent themselves at the championships!

For Xu Xiaoxian, she had gotten what she came here for.

At the closing ceremony, the Vice Principal of the Sky Dazed School announced: The top 50 schools would have two slots to explore an ancient monument!

Limitless - Chapter 225: Beat him up for me

Xu Xiaoxian’s recovery powers were great and she had many superior pills. That very night, the few of them left the lodge and returned to the Sky Dazed School.

There was no news from the Sky Auction Institution and all had been quiet.

It was almost like a dream.

But Chu Yu felt like an entire generation had passed.

Up till now, he could not believe that Xu Xiaoxian could use magical formations and an instrument to kill a Divine Lord as a Supreme Realm cultivator.

That was a Divine Lord!

Some of the most powerful in the universe!

They were adept in many sacred arts!

In comparison, Supreme Realm cultivators were like ants, able to be squashed extremely easily!

This was almost like an ant biting an elephant to death.

It was completely unbelievable.

Xu Xiaoxian told Chu Yu that many of the talents in the Mirror World were capable of this.

This made Chu Yu slightly depressed.

Right now, he could not even fight a True Lord, much less a Divine Lord.

Even though he could kill opponents of higher cultivation level, the difference between the Supreme Realm and the True Lord Realm was way too big!

Xu Xiaoxian looked at Chu Yu, "Actually, you don’t have to be too worried or depressed. For me to kill someone so powerful, I have to pay a heavy price."

"But you look okay?" Chu Yu looked at Xu Xiaoxian doubtfully.

He was not willing to use his vertical eye to look at her.

Xu Xiaoxian shook her head and a faint smile broke out over her face, "Let’s not talk about that. Anyways, relax, even though many had this ability, they would not use it easily. Actually, if you continue down this path of pill refining, you can have this ability in no time!"

"How do you know?" Chu Yu asked doubtfully.

The Immortal Crane Pill Scripture did have some terrifying pills, but he did not have the ability to refine them at the current moment.

"If a medicinal saint’s legacy doesn’t have such a technique, how can it be called saint?" Xu Xiaoxian said.

Chu Yu remembered that his Superclass could combine various techniques and make it uniquely his.

It could be that after the Superclass combines the various techniques, the combination could be equally awe inspiring.

Chu Yu had this feeling already, but he had not used them in battle so it was still untested at this point.

In the coming days, Xu Xiaoxian began to take to the stage.

For the main competition, one person could only compete in a maximum of five rounds.

This rule was set in place because the top schools could have one talent who could defeat everyone. That would make the competition meaningless.

However, Xu Xiaoxian could morph into anyone, so this rule didn’t apply to her.

The Purple Cloud School, from the principal to the students, was quite accommodating.

However, after seeing Xu Xiaoxian win match after match, the initially unhappy students began to understand that she was the best candidate.

At this point, all of the schools were going for lethal strikes.

Injury and death became a daily occurrence.

Even though the students had made preparations for this previously, they all hesitated when faced with it.

None of their opponents were simple.

If there was someone powerful enough to represent them, they could avoid the threat of death.

As such, over the next few days, the Purple Cloud School’s points increased drastically.

It skyrocketed!

By the middle of the main competition, they were already ranked 68!

They had squashed both the Sword Rain School and the Wafting Fragrance School!

Before this, these two schools respected the Purple Cloud School because of Chu Yu. However, now, they were all completely stunned.

The Purple Cloud School was too vicious!

Everyone on social media was shocked.

An initially unranked school in 400 place not only managed to get into the top 100, but also managed to get so far ahead.

Based on their trend, no one could say for sure how high the Purple Cloud School could go.

　

"They are really a terrifying dark horse in this edition of the interschool championships!"

"In the preliminaries, the Purple Cloud School’s battle section was just mediocre. They only managed to get through because of their pill refining section. Even though their final ranking was not low, most of their points came from their pill refining section. I never expected them to have such an explosive showing in the main competition!"

"

"If not for the fact that we saw these people in the preliminaries before, I would have suspected that they hired people to represent them!"

"If these were hired guns, I doubt even a superior school can afford them?"

The discussion on the Purple Cloud School did not abate, both in the Sky Dazed School and on social media.

Even the principal was astounded and came to look for Chu Yu in private.

"Where did you find such a powerful person? Also, her appearance changing technique is too good, she can be both male and female..."

The Human Form Changing Technique was at least a saint level technique.

It came from the Solar System!

Few in the Mirror World knew about this technique.

Chu Yu smiled, "A friend."

The principal sighed, then fidgeted, "I think this ranking... is enough? From now on, even if we lose every round, we can also be assured of a superior school spot."

Chu Yu glanced at him, "Aren’t your expectations... too low?"

"No, but this is too obvious." The Principal sighed, "When we go back, our students do not have such powers. When this is revealed, even if the Alliance of Schools doesn’t take any action, we will lose terribly in the next edition!"

　　

Chu Yu smiled, "It is a long time to the next competition. This time is enough for us to groom a batch of talents."

The Principal smiled and shook his head, Do you really think it is that simple?

Talents are not so easy to groom.

However, he remembered how Sensei Song had brought up the pill refining section, it was too scary!

Based on this trend, the pill refining section should be able to ensure that the Purple Cloud School remains as a superior school.

As for the battle section, if they can’t make it... then they won’t be sent.

Else, they will really be killed by the others.

The principal said his goodbyes and left, not attempting to convince Chu Yu anymore.

In actual fact, the ranking was of little importance to Chu Yu.

However, Xu Xiaoxian wanted a top 50 placing!

Else, to Chu Yu, a top 100 placing would have been sufficient.

Through the incident at the Sky Auction Institution, Chu Yu’s impression of Xu Xiaoxian had changed greatly.

He really did not care if she was from a demonic cult.

As time went by, the interschool championships was also coming to an end.

The Purple Cloud School had also reached the top 50!

They were exactly 50th.

This ranking made them a tier three school.

The entire Mirror World erupted and social media was flooded with news about the Purple Cloud School.

As for the Purple Cloud School and the Song Country... the celebrations were already beginning, and they were only getting bigger and bigger each day.

Everyone was incredibly excited even though many of them who were privy to the Purple Cloud School wondered how the battle section suddenly became so terrifying.

They managed to go toe to toe with the students from the superior schools.

However, their excitement trumped their doubts and suspicions.

Who cares, our school is now a superior school!

After the competition for the day ended, Xu Xiaoxian came looking for Chu Yu, her expression cheeky.

"What’s up?"

Chu Yu had been busy with the pill refining section’s challenges. Now, the opponents were getting stronger and stronger, so Chu Yu had to teach them more superior knowledge on the fly.

It is a good thing the kids from the pill refining section were living up to their own expectations. They had yet to lose a match!

Such a result was quite extraordinary.

Even without Xu Xiaoxian’s participation, the Purple Cloud had the confidence of becoming a superior school.

In fact, getting into the top 100, or even the top 80... would not be difficult!

As such, Chu Yu was incredibly proud of his students.

"Tomorrow, my opponent, is Leng Ao."

Xu Xiaoxian looked at Chu Yu, "Do you want me to kill him?"

Leng Ao?

The number one youthful expert of the Divine Warfare School!

It was said that his power was at the pinnacle of the Supreme Realm, he was on the verge of breaking through into the True Lord Realm!

He was quite the powerful talent.

There were few who were as good as him, even in the tier one schools.

Since the beginning of the competition, all of Leng Ao’s opponents were either dead or injured.

Those who were lucky enough to survive were also scarred for life.

Social media was deeming Leng Ao as a maniac with vicious techniques!

He didn’t seem to come here to compete, he was here to kill.

News that Lin Shi had become the Butterfly Dance Immortal’s disciple had already gotten out.

Some news about Lin Shi’s past had also been revealed.

But it was not news.

As such, even though people were not happy about Leng Ao’s killing spree, they knew that it was not without reason.

Thus, they tried to accept it.

But, that was the masses.

Chu Yu was not going to let him off!

"Don’t kill him." Chu Yu said, "Leave that to me!’

"You want to take the stage?" Xu Xiaoxian looked at Chu Yu, "This man is very powerful..."

Chu Yu rolled his eyes.

Xu Xiaoxian added, "Under normal circumstances, I may not even be his match."

　

"And you want to help me kill him?" Chu Yu rolled his eyes.

"Don’t forget, I can kill a Divine Lord!’ Xu Xiaoxian said.

"You dare to show those abilities here?" Chu Yu’s mouth twitched.

Then he looked at Xu Xiaoxian, "But I must say that it’s a little weird that there hasn’t been any news from the Sky Auction Institution."

Xu Xiaoxian laughed coldly, "It’s not weird at all!’

"Hmm?"

Xu Xiaoxian continued, "Zhuo Fan is not a man who trusts easily. As such, he takes many precautions. He is not called Master Zhuo without reason. No matter what he does, he will not leave a trace. Even though we were walking in the streets before entering, he had already erased traces of us the moment he made his decision."

Xu Xiaoxian looked at Chu Yu, "If you went to that slave trader now, he would never admit to having seen you! He would also deny the fact that he had sold Fang Lie to you."

"As for how you got Fang Lie’s token... haha, heaven knows how you got it."

"What I’m trying to tell you is, Zhuo Fan has the ability to remove every trace of what happened at the auction house."

"He did this because he had every confidence of beating us. But, he didn’t expect that we were so vicious."

Chu Yu glanced at her, "It was you."

"Okay, fine, I killed him." Xu Xiaoxian rolled her eyes and said, "As such, I am sure that most people don’t even know that Zhuo Fan is dead!"

"This is clearly his intelligence backfiring on him."

Xu Xiaoxian laughed coldly, "Do you know? Those people who work for him will immediately swallow a pill after the job is complete. The pill will erase their memory for the past few days!’

"Unless a saint turned back time, no trace of the memory can be found." Xu Xiaoxian said mockingly.

"But for a True Lord like Zhuo Fan... hehe, no one knows he made Divine Lord. Even if he was a Divine Lord, a saint would not find it worth it to help him."

"As such, the Sky Auction Institution is unlikely to find trouble with us."

Then, she looked at Chu Yu, "It’s a pity that you didn’t manage to auction off your True Soul Pills, but I guess it’s okay, you got quite a fortune in best quality spiritual stones."

Chu Yu looked at her, "It looks like you did your homework."

"That’s called knowing your enemy." Xu Xiaoxian looked at Chu Yu, "Even though I want revenge, I would never send myself to the grave!"

"Next time, don’t drag me along." Chu Yu was getting the shivers.

Xu Xiaoxian smiled, "I’ll think about it!"

Chu Yu, "…"

Then, Xu Xiaoxian looked at Chu Yu, "Be honest, do you want me to kill Leng Ao for you?"

Chu Yu shook his head, "Just beat him up for me."

Limitless - Chapter 224: Killing a Divine Lord

As he spoke, Zhuo Fan retrieved a small jade bottle and glanced at Chu Yu, "It’s not that I didn’t trust you, but one cannot be too trusting."

Zhuo Fan looked faintly at Xu Xiaoxian, "You should probably recognize this? As long as you put the pill inside, any poison will trigger an alarm."

Xu Xiaoxian’s voice was icy, "That is from my house!’

Zhuo Fan was expressionless.

　

Chu Yu was quite speechless, he really had no idea when Zhuo Fan had placed the pill inside.

　　

However, it was normal for him to not be able to notice the techniques and actions of a True Lord.

Chu Yu was quite frustrated. In all honesty, if he could help it, he would not want to be implicated in this. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com
　　

Furthermore, he did not want to let Xu Xiaoxian know that the pills he refined had a ‘backdoor’.

However, if Zhuo Fan was really going to kill Xu Xiaoxian, he could not just stand back and watch.

Maybe... he would have to use that technique before he wanted to.

"Your house’s? Killing demons for the betterment of society is the mission of man!" Zhuo Fan said icily.

Xu Xiaoxian was not enraged by what Zhuo Fan said. She replied flatly, "The reason why I let you breakthrough to the Divine Lord Realm is because I want to let you experience it before killing you, making you feel inexplicable despair!"

She smiled at Zhuo Fan, "The pills are fine, but, I am not!"

Xu Xiaoxian stomped her foot on the ground as she spoke.

Hum!

The entire space exploded with a wave of energy.

It was like a tornado was in the room.

Chu Yu could instantly feel the space in the room changing.

　

He suddenly recalled that Xu Xiaoxian was incredibly skilled at magical formations!

At this point, the Divine Lord Zhuo Fan bellowed, raised his hand, and slapped Xu Xiaoxian.

He hollered icily, "Get over here!’

Two rays of light formed a cross in mid air.

The intersection point was Zhuo Fan’s hand!

"Ah!"

Zhuo Fan screamed in pain.

His hand was chopped off by the two rays of light!

Blood flowed out from his wrist.

His eyes revealed his disbelief.

"What’s going on?"

Zhuo Fan could not believe that he could be hurt by magical formations in his own territory.

Xu Xiaoxian said flatly, "Just now, whilst you were breaking through, I took a stroll and destroyed all your magical formations. Oh, to be exact, I didn’t destroy them, I just changed them..."

"You... how could you have changed the formations I set myself?" Zhuo Fan began to regenerate a new hand.

But he was pale, the process of regeneration required a large amount of Qi and blood.

Xu Xiaoxian laughed icily, "Are your magical formations very powerful? They are child’s play and easy to destroy! For someone like you, you will always remain a small fry! So what if you broke through to Legendary Emperor, much less Divine Lord?"

　　

Then, her hands flew over the invisible strings on the instrument.

The melody seemed quite pleasing to Chu Yu, but Zhuo Fan’s expression changed drastically as he exclaimed, "Heavenly Demon Tune... you know this... sh*t!"

Before he could finish, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then, his body exploded with terrifying Divine Lord powers as he tried to break through the formation and over towards Xu Xiaoxian.

Countless rays of light lit up in the space, locking him there.

　　

Xu Xiaoxian continued playing the tune maniacally.

Zhuo Fan kept spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

His eyes were filled with shock and terror. He shouted to Chu Yu, "Sensei Song, save my life and I will reward you handsomely, I will gift you a saint’s legacy!"

A recently formed Divine Lord cultivator was actually begging a Supreme Realm cultivator like Chu Yu. It was clear how desperate Zhuo Fan was.

Chu Yu sighed lightly, not speaking.

Xu Xiaoxian increased the tempo of the music.

Hum!

A terrifying hum pierced through the air.

Very quickly, Zhuo Fan’s Divine Lord body split into five parts!

The scene was horrifying!

But Xu Xiaoxian did not stop!

Zhuo Fan’s body might be in pieces, but he was not dead!

How could it be this easy to kill a Divine Lord?

A Nascent God rushed out from Zhuo Fan’s body. It was incredibly powerful and it bellowed in anger.

He was furious, unwilling to accept the fact that he was beaten!

As a Divine Lord, he had a long lifespan and an incredible grasp of the sacred arts.

Before he could enjoy the benefits of this realm, his body was smashed by someone else and his life was threatened.

Zhuo Fan’s Nascent God, clad in a grey armor and wielding a scythe made from energy, glowed with a bright light as it hacked at the magical formation

Boom!

Boom!

The immensely powerful magical formation kept attacking him, but it kept shuddering under each impact from his scythe!

This was an intense battle!

A Divine Lord’s last ditch attempt to save his own life!

Wa!

Xu Xiaoxian spat out a mouthful of blood, her face incredibly pale and devoid of blood.

But her eyes were steely and glowed with fury and hate.

Her hands never stopped moving.

The melody was lethal!

　

In the end, Zhuo Fan’s Nascent God was shattered by the melody.

Before Zhuo Fan died, he let out a pitiful roar.

He wanted to kill himself!

But it was no use, as the music became more intense, Zhuo Fan’s Nascent God shattered!

He could not escape his death.

Seeing Zhuo Fan’s life slip out of his body, Xu Xiaoxian turned around, her face devoid of color as she smiled at Chu Yu, "Sorry, this is my fault, quickly change your appearance and bring your slave out of here... they, definitely... cleansed all trace of us coming here."

"And you?" Chu Yu asked.

"I’m... fine!" Xu Xiaoxian used the last bit of energy she had to revert the space into the room she was. Then, she shakily retrieved a man’s clothing and changed her appearance into a man.

It was that helper from before!

Then, Xu Xiaoxian forced a smile at Chu Yu before fainting.

　

Chu Yu was speechless. He carried Xu Xiaoxian on his back and stepped out.

Clearly, Xu Xiaoxian had done her homework. Her prediction was spot on.

Other than a comatose man, there was no one else in sight!

Chu Yu walked over and used his vertical eye to observe his slave. He realized that he only had his acupoints and senses sealed and was not injured.

He broke the seals on this man.

The hulking man opened his eyes slowly and took on an offensive stance.

When he saw that it was Chu Yu, he relaxed and said slowly, "Someone, attacked, me."

Chu Yu nodded, then retrieved a black coat and a mask, "Let’s go!"

The hulking man wore the coat and mask and followed behind Chu Yu.

Chu Yu carried Xu Xiaoxian on his back and pushed open the doors to Sky Auction Instituion. After he stepped out, he realized the streets had become much quieter.

Chu Yu was slightly solemn as he brought the hulking man away.

Clearly, this auction institution was quite powerful.

No ordinary power could achieve such a result in such a short period of time.

Chu Yu did not return to the Sky Dazed School immediately. Instead, he found a lodge and stayed there.

He had the hulking man stand guard outside as he brought Xu Xiaoxian into the room. He retrieved a few healing pills and fed them to Xu Xiaoxian.

After a few moments, Xu Xiaoxian moaned and regained consciousness.

Seeing Chu Yu, she smiled, feeling at ease, and whispered, "Sorry, thank you!"

Chu Yu sighed, "It is weird for you to smile like that with the face of an auction helper!"

"Ah... is that so?" Xu Xiaoxian reverted to her original appearance.

Her exquisitely beautiful face came into view. Her face was still devoid of color.

Clearly, using the Heavenly Demon Instrument to play the Heavenly Demon Tune had taken its toll on her.

For a Supreme Realm cultivator to use a magical formation and music to kill a Divine Lord was completely horrifying!

"Is this appearance... better?" Xu Xiaoxian looked at Chu Yu weakly.

She had just regained some energy, and it was used to say that.

"..." Chu Yu rolled his eyes then said, "Shut up and rest. With your current state, you want to compete tomorrow?"

Xu Xiaoxian smiled, "I definitely can, trust me, no problem at all!"

Then, Xu Xiaoxian closed her eyes and slept.

Chu Yu turned around and saw his slave wearing his coat and standing guard at the door. He smiled and waved him over.

This man walked over and looked at Chu Yu.

"Sit."

Chu Yu pointed to a chair by the door.

The man shook his head, "I, stand."

"What is your name?" Chu Yu asked.

He found this man to be quite quizzical. As a Supreme Realm cultivator with Polar Blue Wolves blood running through his veins, he must be quite powerful.

Why was speaking so difficult for him?

"Fang Lie."

The man replied.

Chu Yu nodded, "Is it very difficult for you to speak?"

"Last time, I spoke, a different, language." The man looked at Chu Yu and explained with some difficulty.

Chu Yu suddenly realized that many languages were spoken in the Mirror World.

Before this, he had spent most of his time in the Purple Cloud and interacted mostly with humans, thus the difference was not so stark.

Just now, when walking on the streets of the Sky Dazed City, he already heard many different languages.

　　

Before this, Chu Yu was curious why the Mirror World conversed mostly in Mandarin.

He looked up ancient annals and found evidence that the Solar System was the Village of Cultivation, and Earth was the center of it all.

　　

On Earth, the largest civilisation, was China!

In the Tang and Song Dynasties, China was the center of the world, and many began to pick up Mandarin.

The same applied to all the cultivation worlds in the universe.

Whilst they despised and looked down on the Village of Cultivation, they learnt the language eagerly in hopes of one day becoming the leaders there.

Through his conversation with Fang Lie, Chu Yu found out that he had always lived in the polar regions of the Mirror World.

That was the hometown of the Polar Blue Wolves.

Ordinarily, people did not dare to antagonize the Polar Blue Wolves. However, some of the countries formed by their human brothers would go to war with their neighbours.

Fang Lie was one of the prisoners of war.

He had thought of suicide, but the enemy had used his family as hostage.

Fang Lie told Chu Yu that the slave peddlers were extremely shameless. After capturing them as slaves, they would kill all the old, weak, ill and crippled in their families.

"I want, revenge!"

Fang Lie’s eyes were filled with hatred.

Chu Yu patted his shoulders, "If I meet them one day, I will help you!"
