He looked at Ling Qing, “This injury of mine will take a long time to recover. Guess I’ll have to trouble you with the future matters.”
Ling Qing replied, “There’s not enough time for you to recover.”
“Then, I guess I’ll just go to battle while being wounded,” said Gao Han indifferently and pretended to let out a sigh. “For now, just help me deliver this item to someone.”
Ling Qing looked back and took over the item. After looking at it, she nodded, “Alright.”
…………
Within the Dao universe, far away from the turbulence of the World beyond Worlds, there existed a foreign space.
Its scenery was beautiful and magnificent within that space, and even resembled the World beyond Worlds’ Kunlun Mountain.
As if someone had transported the scenery of the Kunlun Mountain here.
A tall mountain stands in the center of the space.
If someone familiar with the scenery of the World beyond Worlds’ Kunlun Mountain saw this mountain, they would recognize this place, as it was a famous Sacred Grounds in the World beyond Worlds.
Qianhua Peak.
The head of the World beyond Worlds’ Exalts of Ten Territories in the past, the Upper Exalt – Chen Qianhua’s cave manor.
The real Qianhua Peak was still in the World beyond Worlds’ Kunlun Mountain. The mountain here was merely crafted by someone else.
Currently, the intimidator was standing awkwardly in front of a purple-shirt teenager, “Big brother…”
The purple-clothed teenager’s expression was slothful, but his tone seemed annoyed, “You should know that I hate repeating things.”
Without making any movements, the mountain that resembled the Qianhua Peak vanished into thin air within this foreign space, and not even a speck of dust remained.
Chen Kunhua’s face was filled with helplessness.
He didn’t have Chen Qianhua’s weird personality. Instead, he felt that the World beyond Worlds’ Qianhua Peak was comfortable and peaceful enough, and even the scenery was a sight to behold. As a result, he moved everything here.
Usually, Chen Qianhua wouldn’t come here, so there weren’t any problems.
And yet, his big brother came back today. After seeing the scenery, the outcome was already predictable.
The mountain peaks disappeared, and only the dense forest remained. The vast foreign space now seemed empty.
Chen Qianhua wasn’t feeling the slightest bit of discomfort at all and reverted to his slothful appearance, indifferent to matters around him. He carried a huge armchair out from the forest and sat on it.
Chen Kunhua asked, “Big brother, why did you come here today?”
“I want to give you something,” said Chen Qianhua in a slothful manner. “Oh, right. How confident are you in ascending the Exalt Realm?”
Chen Kunhua was surprised for a moment, “I still haven’t accumulated enough cultivation yet. Although breaking through to the Exalt Realm isn’t as dangerous as pushing open the Immortal Door, I still want to polish myself more…”
“You take care of your matters,” said Chen Qianhua indifferently. He threw something over to Chen Kunhua, “Only after reaching the Martial Saint Tenth Level, would you be able to operate this thing somewhat.”
It was an ancient bronze ruler. After Chen Qianhua threw it, it didn’t fall onto the ground. Instead, it remained floating in the air.
Chen Kunhua stared at the ancient ruler in shock and was in a daze for a while.
After he came back to his senses, he began breathing rapidly.
It was an Immortal Artifact – the Heavenly Heart Ruler.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1328 - Movements in the Astro Mountains Starry Sea
The ancient ruler looked mundane and wasn’t as terrifying as when Chen Qianhua used it in combat.
However, it was an actual Leakless Level Immortal Artifact.
Even if any other Martial Saint saw this treasure, they would be tempted.
What’s more? Chen Kunhua had heard of this treasure’s powers and had always been looking forward to it.
He looked at Chen Qianhua, “Big brother, you have just ascended the True Immortal Realm. The Heavenly Heart Ruler is now very convenient for you…”
“It’s fine.” Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Chen Qianhua waved his hand in a slothful manner, “Just take it. Even if you can’t use it yet, slowly cultivate it.”
As he was talking, the ancient bronze ruler fell into Chen Kunhua’s hands.
Chen Kunhua remained silent, feeling the weight in his hands. He first shut his eyes and calmed his fluctuating emotions.
After an extended amount of time, he opened his eyes. His emotions weren’t fluctuating anymore but were rather complicated.
After everything had settled down, Chen Kunhua said to the slothful purple-clothed teenager sitting by the armchair, “Thank you, big brother.”
Although they were brothers related by blood, such a treasure was too precious.
After all, Chen Qianhua wasn’t just temporarily lending it to him. Instead, the Heavenly Heart Ruler now belonged to him forever.
Chen Qianhua had already refined the mark left by him within the Heavenly Heart Ruler, which meant the mark had been completely removed.
“Big brother, what in the world happened? The Exalted Fire that had left the World beyond Worlds long ago suddenly returned and had even passed the Origin Heavenly Tribulation, ascending the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm. Even the legendary North Star Emperor had appeared.”
After his tense emotion had relaxed, Chen Kunhua couldn’t help but ask.
Chen Qianhua’s expression was still slothful, but a flicker flashed across his eyes, “You want to know?”
“Erm…” Although Chen Kunhua was curious, he instantly became decisive upon seeing his brother’s face, “Nope!”
Chen Qianhua didn’t mind. After smiling lazily, he never said anything else.
Chen Kunhua said, “Brother, I must say. Your decision is smart since you didn’t choose to involve yourself within.”
“There is no need for me to do anything,” said Chen Qianhua indifferently. “At first, they gave me a feeling of disparity, which made the outcome seem obvious enough. Naturally, I lost interest.”
“However, in the end, the comeback gave me an unprecedented surprise.”
As Chen Qianhua spoke, his eyes became bright with excitement, “Even when I was merely spectating, it truly satisfied me. I couldn’t even react to what had happened.”
“This show is exciting. Too interesting!”
He laughed loudly, looking like a fanatic.
Chen Kunhua looked up and sighed. He smiled bitterly, “Big brother, I won’t say anything else. Let me say one thing.”
“Even if you’re looking for fun, try to remain unbiased. Please do consider your actions in the future…”
Chen Qianhua’s laughter stopped. He raised his brows and looked at Chen Kunhua in surprise.
Chen Kunhua forced himself to continue, “Big brother, although I’m not sure of what had happened, even such a grand figure like the North Star Emperor had made an appearance. This must be a huge matter.”
“I know that you enjoy dwelling in the uncertainty and excitingness between life and death. However, if you’re sure to die, won’t it just be meaningless and boring?”
“Haha!” Chen Qianhua laughed once more, “Indeed, I’m not interested in matters which outcome had already been decided. Although I know that you’re just worried that I would drag you into these matters, I’m more willing to believe that you’re finally able to experience the joy of life.”
Chen Kunhua could only continue smiling bitterly.
“Unfortunately, it’s going to be peaceful for the meantime.” Chen Qianhua recovered his slothful look and said with dissatisfaction, “I’ve enjoyed so many satisfying experiences, how am I supposed to survive through the following peaceful days?”
He stood up, shook his head, and left the foreign space.
…………
The Astro Mountain Starry Seas was the universe where the Demon Race was residing, breeding, and hiding from the world.
Currently, within the vast galaxy, gales of demonic winds were flying around. They came and went without stopping and displayed the feeling of restlessness, which differs from how they usually felt.
A vast world appeared within the void. Rays of sunlight intertwined together with the floating clouds, making the world resemble a divine realm.
After the gales of demonic winds entered said divine realm, they became more peaceful, and their bloodlust and sinisterness seemed to have faded a little.
Within a divine mountain’s cave manor within the divine realm, a few silhouettes were sitting around each other.
“Is Daoist Hundred Eyes not here yet?” asked a silhouette who was lying down sideways. He casually grabbed the bloody food on the table in front of him and threw it into his mouth.
As he was chewing, crunching sounds resounded. The blood qi and spirit qi contained within was plentiful and were as vast as the seas.
A middle-aged man with a Daoist appearance was sitting at the opposite of him. His expression was kind, and no hints of demonic qi could be sensed. He was the owner of the cave manor they were currently in. He said plainly, “Daoist Hundred Eyes is still busy refining his cauldron of divine pills. He’s still a little far from succeeding.”
A Great Demon beside smiled, “He’s only capable of refining poison pills. How can he even refine any divine pills?”
The cave manor’s owner smiled.
The Great Demon lying down chewed his meat while thinking, “Speaking of divine pills, I heard that the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Pill Hall wasn’t destroyed during the Great Calamity, and was even reserved until now. In fact, it even appeared not long ago?”
“It’s now in the hands of a Jade Clear lineage disciple. However, the Pill Hall had already camouflaged itself within the outskirt’s boundless void. Locating it would be extremely difficult,” said the cave manor’s owner.
All the demons present let out a sigh, “Pity, pity.”
A Great Demon asked, “Is there no way to locate it?”
“If it doesn’t appear by itself, it would be difficult to,” said the cave manor’s owner. “Besides, we don’t have the time to pay attention to these matters. An outstanding person appeared from the Jade Clear lineage, and the change in the situation was much bigger than what I expected. We should alter our forces as well. The manpower that we had previously distributed was not enough.”
A Great demon praised, “Who would expect a mix-blooded child from the Fire Dragon World to ascend to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm within just a mere few thousand years? He even possesses such outstanding combat prowess.”
The person next to him shook his head, “Everyone has their fate. If he remained here, he might not have achieved such accomplishments.”
“That’s right. Let us do what we should do,” said the cave manor’s owner. “After finishing this meal, we should embark on our journey, just as his highness instructed us to.”
The Great Demon that was lying down snorted and said, “We’re finally going to vent out these feelings we’ve held in for so long. It’s a pity that we can’t take down those baldies from the Blessed Lands of Saha as well.”
The cave manor owner smiled indifferently, “It’s fine if you faced the Immortal Court’s heretics. If you were to meet up with people from the Western Pure Lands, you’ll be captured to be their mount with how careless you are.”
“Hey, hey! Shut your mouth!” The Great Demon lying down suddenly sat up and stared at the cave manor’s owner with rage.
The owner of the cave manor wasn’t looking in his direction anymore. Instead, he looked at the other Great Demons present, “After being in hiding for so long, we finally got the chance to appear in the world once more. Fellow demons, this is just the start. I wish you all a triumphant victory.”
He then raised the barrel of wine in front of him and drank all the liquid contained within.
The other demons also raised their barrels.
The Great Demon sitting at the opposite of him snorted. After pouring all the wine into his mouth, he threw the barrel onto the floor, stood up, and said ruthlessly, “Let’s go. Let’s kill to our heart’s content!”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1329 - Pure Lands and the Blessed Lands of Saha
After all the Great Devils left, the cave manor’s owner sat down and sunk into deep thoughts alone.
After a while, he summoned a boy servant to his front and ordered him, “Go to the Hundred Eyes’ cave manor and tell his on-duty disciple to relay Hundred Eyes himself. Tell him to come over to my cave manor for a drink after he finished refining his divine pills.”
The boy servant bowed and left. The cave manor’s owner then stared at the sky and was slightly in a daze, “Pill Hall, ah…”
Just like how everyone had predicted, an unavoidable war was declared.
Although Suo Mingzhang did not show himself, the rumors said that he did not perish by the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord’s hands.
The Future Buddha had indeed given the Immortal Court quite an amount of time. However, they wouldn’t just sit there waiting forever.
For bigwig experts of their level, thousands of years were just a short amount of time. However, even during a short amount of time, they could do many things, more than what a mortal could imagine.
Very quickly, a large number of troops had invaded the land of the Immortal Court.
Although the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord had given up hunting Suo Mingzhang down and was residing in the Immortal Court, the Future Buddha was there to hold him back.
Outside of the battle between the two leading figures, the outcome of the battle was quickly decided.
In the past, the battle between the two sides was somewhat equal, even if a side was slightly weaker. However, this time, the balance of strength between the two sides had already fallen apart.
Before the war broke out, the Immortal Court had already received an enormous blow. They could only retract their manpower and focus solely on defending. However, they were still forced to retreat.
Contrary to the wars they fought in the past, the balance of strength between the two sides was already long gone. Other than that, there were also forces of other factions surfacing and joining into the war.
The Immortal Court had already contacted some assistance long ago, but their enemies did the same.
The battle involved a considerable amount of different parties and became more and more intense.
In the past, the war between the heretics would usually last for a few years, or even more than ten years. The battle would end when one side obtains a victorious accomplishment, or if the two sides didn’t feel like fighting any longer.
Under such circumstances, no matter if it was the Dao universe, or Yan Zhaoge and the others who were by the void’s outskirts, it was an excellent opportunity for them to develop.
As time passes, the pill qi within the Pill Hall’s cosmos became less dense. The outline of the borders and the laws of each world’s space were slowly stabilizing, slowly reaching perfection.
Although the entire cosmos still wasn’t stable enough, the citizens within each world were getting more and more comfortable.
Everything seemed to have returned to how it looked like in the Dao universe in the past.
During the following years, Yan Zhaoge cultivated while refining the Pill Hall, stabilizing the Pill Hall’s cosmos.
However, he did not completely isolate himself from the outside world.
Yan Zhaoge was still interested in the progress of the war.
After all, even if he was hiding by the void’s outskirts, the changes in the situation were still closely related to him.
It was tough for him to inquire about the war. No matter if it was
Yan Zhaoge, the Sword Sovereign, Feng Yunsheng, or the others, they were all characters of utmost importance in the heretics’ eyes.
If they were to show themselves, they would receive close attention. In fact, they might even squeeze out a small group of people to kill Yan Zhaoge and the others.
Fortunately, Yan Zhaoge and the others could contact the Roving Jade Heavens and obtain their news source regarding the situation’s changes.
Although the World beyond Worlds and the Roving Jade Heavens might be under other people’s surveillance, the heretics would have to shift their focus towards the war, especially when it was getting more intense.
Which gave Yan Zhaoge and the others an opportunity.
Only, the news they received was beyond their expectations.
“Pure Lands of the West…” muttered Yan Zhaoge.
The Brocade Emperor – Fu Yunchi, who Yan Zhaoge instructed to go to the Roving Jade Heavens, nodded, “That’s right, the West’s Pure Lands!”
Everyone else looked at each other.
In the past, the Western Pure Lands shocked the entire world, and their reputation was even higher than the central Blessed Lands of Saha.
The lord of the Pure Lands was one of the most ancient top-notch bigwig experts – Amitabha!
After entering the Journey to the West era, the reputation of the Pure Lands slowly died down. The central Blessed Lands of Saha then took over, and the Great Thunderclap Monastery became the symbol of the Western Heavens.
After the Journey to the West era ended, the Mystical Mountain’s Buddha – the Gautama Buddha underwent illumination, which resulted in the Maitreya Buddha descending upon, and becoming the new lord of the central Blessed Lands of Saha. He slowly changed the method of Buddhism cultivation, and the disciples of Buddhism gradually forgot about the Pure Lands. They only heard of the Future Buddha’s name and frequently chanted, “please descend upon the South, o’ Maitreya Buddha.” The name of the Pure Lands was even buried because of this.
A majority of the world assumed that the various Buddhas of the Pure Lands had entered the Blessed Lands of Saha.
As for Amitabha, he was a top-notch existence, and no one could predict his actual condition.
