One could easily imagine how these figures would only need a single thought to wipe out all everyone in Blackwater.
Fortunately, they were as small and insignificant as ants in the eyes of those powerful figures. Without even taking a glance at them, the figures directly headed towards the depths of Blackwater.
The world felt as if it was trembling as more and more figures appeared. The residents of Blackwater dropped to their knees, trembling, not daring to even lift their heads.
After a long time, the terrifying and imposing auras finally faded. It was only then that they dared to peer into the distance before staring at each other in dismay.
They did not know what was going on in the depths of Blackwater because no one had ever ventured so deeply and wondered what could have drawn out so many terrifying experts...
.....
Deep in Blackwater.
Above the thunderbolt pool.
Space shuddered as it was torn open by a frightening force before a dozen silhouettes stepped out from the tear.
The person leading them was palace master Sheng Yuan of the Sacred Palace.
His silver eyes observed the surroundings before eventually locking onto the lightning pool below. A look of astonishment arose on his face, “To think it was the sinful land of the past?
“Haha, how interesting. This place was once destroyed by the sacred race. Who could have thought that Cang Xuan would hide the Cangxuan Saint Stamp here.
“Unfortunately, your trickery has ended up useless.
“It’s time for the Cangxuan Saint Stamp to gain a new master!”
However, as soon as his voice fell, the nearby space was torn open once more. Terrifying Genesis Qi pressure enveloped the area as a cold voice sounded, “Sheng Yuan, I'm afraid you are not worthy of the Cangxuan Saint Stamp.”
Palace master Sheng Yuan smiled, “It seems the Cangxuan Sect has arrived.”
Sect master Qing Yang stood tall in the air with peak master Lianyi and the others behind him.
Monstrous Genesis Qi swept outwards, so concentrated that it formed endless cloud layers that covered the sky as if ready to destroy the world.
“Haha, it seems to be very lively here.”
At this moment, space was torn apart again as a somewhat crooked old figure slowly walked out. When he appeared, the cry of a sword seemed to echo across the place.
It was an old man in simple clothing. He looked old and was slightly hunched, but merely standing there made him appear akin to an ancient divine sword that was powerful enough to slay the gods.
The old man was followed by a group of figures that exuded similarly monstrous auras.
Valley master Yin Xiao, whom Zhou Yuan had met before, was also standing among them. It was the Sword Seeker Sect.
“Heaven sword sovereign....”
Sect master Qing Yang’s attention turned towards the elderly figure.
The heaven sword sovereign was the sect master of the Sword Seeker Sect and was also from the same generation as patriarch Cangxuan. His status and experience was unparalleled but was often in secluded cultivation. Nobody had expected him to show up when the Cangxuan Saint Stamp appeared.
Shortly after the appearance of Sword Seeker Sect, space began to tremble violently as waves of terrifying figures continued to emerge.
“I never expected to see the day when the Cangxuan Saint Stamp reappears.” A giant stepped out from the shuddering space. The giant’s body seemed to be inscribed with ancient patterns. When he appeared, even space itself began to crumble around him as though it was unable to bear his weight.
It was a sign of one’s external cultivation reaching an indescribable level which could be said to be truly indestructible.
His voice was louder than thunder, causing the earth to crack.
The giant seemed to notice the crumbling sky and land around him. His huge body quickly began to shrink, turning into a topless middle-aged man after a few seconds.
He had a simple and honest face, like that of a farmer, and his body was adorned with ancient patterns.
Venerable lord Gu Jing of the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall.
And after the appearance of venerable lord Gu Jing, a rare fragrance filled the air. A gigantic lotus slowly appeared and bloomed. Inside the lotus was a beautiful barefooted woman in a colorful dress. Her beauty and elegance were unparalleled.
Palace master of the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace, Shan Qingzi.
An endless eerie black mist gushed out near the giant lotus. Black mist rolled across the air as a shrill voice rang out, “Hehe, we haven’t seen each other in so many years, but palace master Shan is still as beautiful as before. You truly deserve your title as the number one beauty of Cangxuan Heaven.”
A black robed figure slowly rose from the black fog revealing a pale fatty. He casually caught a Spirit from the black fog, stuffed into his mouth and swallowed. His eyes flickered with an eerie green light as they scanned the palace master of the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace.
It was the sect master of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, Devil Luo.
All six major sects of Cangxuan Heaven had appeared!
Moreover, numerous silhouettes arrived one after another some distance away. All of them exuded powerful auras and were likely top experts or lords of their own domains.
However, they could only watch from the sidelines for the time being.
It could be said that more than ninety percent of Cangxuan Heaven’s top experts had appeared in the depths of Blackwater...
Palace master Sheng Yuan’s eyes swept over the numerous gathered experts with a smile as he unhurriedly said, “Cangxuan Heaven has not been so lively since the battle between the Sacred Palace and Cang Xuan back then.
“Since everyone has come here, I’m guessing that all of you have also sensed the energy fluctuations of the Cangxuan Saint Stamp...
“Haha, since we’re all accounted for, let’s first let the Saint Stamp show itself!”
As his voice fell, his hand reached out towards the thunderbolt pool below and abruptly clenched.
Boom!
The thunderbolt pool suddenly quaked violently before ripping apart. A split second later, the concealed space somewhere within the pool was also slowly torn open.
All eyes immediately looked over.
In the next moment, the atmosphere seemed to solidify. Everyone’s faces, even palace master Sheng Yuan, froze.
Because they had seen a young figure in the mysterious space that contained the Cangxuan Saint Stamp. He raised his head in confusion, meeting their gazes.
Had the Cangxuan Saint Stamp already been taken?!
Chapter 722 Lianyi
In the mysterious domain.
Zhou Yuan, whose hand was still on the Cangxuan Saint Stamp, lifted his head to see the space above him being torn open. Through the crack, he saw many legendary figures above the thunderbolt pool...
These powerful figures exuded monstrous waves of energy that were enough to send the world quaking.
Zhou Yuan suddenly felt his scalp turn numb.
In that moment, their eyes were all gathered on him and it was clear that they were all bewildered to see him.
No one knew how much effort the influential figures of the various sects had exhausted for years to find the Cangxuan Saint Stamp hidden by patriarch Cang Xuan in order to become the new master of Cangxuan Heaven.
With the Cangxuan Saint Stamp now revealed to the world. The top experts had raced to its location right away, hoping to be the first to set eyes on the Cangxuan Saint Stamp. Who would have expected that someone else would arrive a step earlier.
“Haha, I was wondering who could have grasped such a great opportunity. It turns out to be a member of the Cangxuan Sect?”
Palace master Sheng Yuan smiled as he stared at Zhou Yuan. Given his status, he shouldn’t recognize a mere Cangxuan Sect disciple, but the battle between Zhou Yuan and Wu Huang had garnered the attention of the entire Shengzhou Continent.
As such, he naturally remembered Zhou Yuan's face.
“It seems that your Cangxuan Sect is truly blessed by the heavens.” Palace master Sheng Yuan remarked ruminatively.
The eyes of the others flashed in thought.
They were honestly quite happy with the current situation in Cangxuan Heaven. After all, no one would like a heaven master above them, but of course, it would be acceptable if they could become the heaven master.
Sect master Qing Yang, peak master Lianyi and the others were somewhat surprised to see Zhou Yuan. They clearly had not expected him to appear here.
Old man Bai Mei couldn’t help but remark, “This kid is quite lucky.”
Even palace master Sheng Yuan had failed to find the Cangxuan Saint Stamp, and yet had it been discovered by Zhou Yuan, a Divine Dwelling expert. This was really unbelievable.
Peak master Ling Jun’s brows knitted together into a frown, “Unfortunately, too much good luck is not necessarily a good thing.”
In this situation, Zhou Yuan was akin to a little mouse among a group of lions and tigers. Even the slightest change would likely result in him dying.
“Zhou Yuan is a disciple of the Cangxuan Sect. We’ll protect him if there’s any danger.” stated sect master Qing Yang.
A single attack from any of the powerhouses present would instantly kill Zhou Yuan. Fortunately, he had the backing of the Cangxuan Sect, which meant no one here would indiscriminately kill him.
Peak master Lianyi and the others nodded. Zhou Yuan was indeed a disciple of the Cangxuan Sect. It would hurt the sect’s reputation if they allowed him to be killed.
Thankfully for them, the experts present didn’t seem too affected by the fact that Zhou Yuan was the first to touch the Cangxuan Saint Stamp. They were evidently not worried that he would take away the Cangxuan Saint Stamp in front of them.
Because Zhou Yuan was too weak.
Not just anyone could take away a supreme sacred object like the Cangxuan Saint Stamp.
Therefore, after a brief period of astonishment, the powerhouses present retracted their gazes from Zhou Yuan.
The ones who could decide the eventual owner of the Cangxuan Saint Stamp was not a little Divine Dwelling stage disciple, but the top existences of Cangxuan Heaven...
So what if Zhou Yuan was the first to arrive and touch the Cangxuan Saint Stamp?
Palace master Sheng Yuan also didn’t waste time on an insignificant disciple. His eyes swept across the place as he smiled, “Everyone, we all know that our Cangxuan Heaven is ranked last among the nine heavens of Tianyuan World. At the end of the day, it is because the Cangxuan Saint Stamp had been kept hidden for so many years and we do not have a heaven master.
“Now that the Cangxuan Saint Stamp has finally appeared, perhaps it is heaven’s will for our Cangxuan Heaven gain a new heaven master.”
His voice rang out but was met with silence. Nobody answered. All eyes flickered in thought while the atmosphere seemed to solidify.
It was a long while later before sect master Qing Yang indifferently said, “Are you trying to say that you should be the new heaven master?”
Palace jmaster Sheng Yuan’s silver eyes flashed with a mysterious and heartless expression. The corners of his lips curved in a smile as he replied, “Patriarch Cang Xuan suppressed the entire Cangxuan Heaven back then and was extremely powerful, but was killed by my Sacred Palace in the end. In fact, it is my Sacred Palace’s greatest achievement.”
Sect master Qing Yang’s eyes instantly turned cold.
“A dog of the sacred race dares to seek the position of heaven master? You think the people of Cangxuan Heaven would follow in your steps to become a dog of the sacred race?!” An ice-cold voice filled with hatred sounded from behind sect master Qing Yang.
The beautiful eyes of peak master Lianyi were practically boring holes in palace master Sheng Yuan, eyes that were filled with indescribable hatred.
Her words were merciless and extremely vicious.
Sheng Yuan narrowed his eyes. “Although my Sacred Palace has borrowed the power of the sacred race, we aren’t their dogs.”
He looked at peak master Lianyi as the corners of his mouth curved into a mocking smile, “The words of a loser are the most ridiculous. It seems that patriarch Cang Xuan didn’t teach you well.”
Boom!
Peak master Lianyi’s eyes reddened as monstrous Genesis Qi erupted from her body. A Law Domain spread out with her as the centre, while Genesis Qi frantically gathered and transformed into countless stars.
Among the stars, the power of the Law Domain shined as bright as diamonds.
Boom!
The Law Domain stars whizzed forth, heading straight for palace master Sheng Yuan with the destructive force.
No words could describe such power and it was enough to destroy the surrounding land.
“You are only at the Nascent Source stage. Although you have touched the Law Domain stage and established a small Law Domain, where did you find the courage to show this to everybody?” Palace master Sheng Yuan’s silver eyes flickered with mockery as he watched the Genesis Qi stars falling from the sky.
He reached out and gently clenched his hand.
The world seemed to freeze in that moment. The falling stars changed direction and roared towards peak master Lianyi with even more frightening force than before.
Sect master Qing Yang coldly snorted. With the wave of his robe, the space was instantly torn open, creating a spatial fissure that swallowed all the stars.
He turned to peak master Lianyi and reminded her, “Don't be rash.”
Peak master Lianyi’s crimson eyes gushed with killing intent as she glared daggers at Sheng Yuan.
The other experts did not attempt to get involved, because they knew that this was a matter between the Sacred Palace and the Cangxuan Sect.
A ruminative smile curved the lips of palace master Sheng Yuan when he saw the look on peak master Lianyi’s face, “It seems that peak master Lianyi really hates me.”
Peak master Lianyi hissed, “You killed my master, and I will not rest until you are buried!”
Palace master Sheng Yuan chuckled. “Peak master Lianyi, patriarch Cang Xuan was an expert of the Saint stage who possessed the Cangxuan Saint Stamp. In the Cangxuan Heaven, it won’t be easy to defeat him even if he was ambushed and surrounded by the sacred race.”
Everyone frowned, wondering why palace master Sheng Yuan was suddenly bringing up this matter.
“To truly kill him, one will have to make him lose control of the Cangxuan Saint Stamp, so that he temporarily loses the position of heaven master. In that instant, you’ll be able to find an opportunity to slay him.”
Peak master Lianyi’s face slowly paled.
“Peak master Lianyi, do you remember what you did in the past?” Palace master Sheng Yuan cocked his head and stared at peak master Lianyi.
All eyes shifted towards peak master Lianyi, including sect master Qing Yang’s. Their expressions were filled with confusion.
Palace master Sheng Yuan’s cold laughter continued to ring out like a rumbling thunder, leaving countless people dumbstruck.
“If you hadn’t tampered with the Cangxuan Saint Stamp, do you really think that patriarch Cang Xuan would be surrounded by the sacred race and killed?
“So why do you hate me...the greatest culprit behind patriarch Cang Xuan’s death is you...Liu Lianyi!”
In the mysterious domain, Zhou Yuan’s eyes also went wide as he stared at peak master Lianyi in shock and disbelief.
Could she be the mole in the Cangxuan Sect?!
Chapter 723 Mole
Palace master Sheng Yuan’s voice continued to reverberate across the place. The experts of the various factions were stupefied by what he said. Nobody expected palace master Sheng Yuan to reveal such an earthshaking secret.
The reason patriarch Cangxuan perished was because Liu Lianyi had tampered with the Cangxuan Saint Stamp?!
Sect master Qing Yang, old man Ba
i Mei and others stared at Liu Lianyi in disbelief.
Among the patriarch’s disciples, Liu Lianyi was everyone’s most beloved youngest junior sister, and patriarch Cang Xuan particularly doted on her.
Liu Lianyi was equally fond of patriarch Cangxuan. When patriarch Cangxuan died, she would have most likely stormed into the Sacred Palace and fought to her death if sect master Qing Yang and the others hadn’t stopped her.
So when they heard what palace master Sheng Yuan said, their first reaction was disbelief. But when they noticed the deathly pale expression on peak master Lianyi’s face, their heart began to sink uncontrollably.
Peak master Lianyi’s face was deathly pale, and her graceful body was trembling violently.
After a long while, she muttered, “What are you talking about! I didn't tamper with the Cangxuan Saint Stamp!”
Sect master Qing Yang looked straight at peak master Lianyi and questioned, “Junior sister, what did you do?!”
Sect master Qing Yang had already begun to grow suspicious when patriarch Cang Xuan perished because he understood the latter’s strength very well. Moreover, with the power of the Cangxuan Saint Stamp, it was impossible for him to die in Cangxuan Heaven even if he was ganged up on by experts of the sacred race.
There must be a reason for this.
But he never would have imagined that this matter might have something to do with peak master Lianyi.
Peak master Lianyi smiled miserably, “I’ve never thought of harming master, I just...I only engraved a Clear Mind Divine Rune on the Cangxuan Saint Stamp. It won’t hurt him, but will weaken the influence of the Cangxuan Saint Stamp on Master.”
Sect master Qing Yang’s expression abruptly changed. Suppressing his anger, he yelled, “Absolute stupidity, why did you do that?”
Peak master Lianyi clenched her hands as she said in a trembling voice, “I found out from an ancient book that those who wield the Cangxuan Saint Stamp and other similar supreme sacred objects will abandon all seven emotions and sever the six desires, I, I...”
Sect master Qing Yang, old man Bai Mei, the Hongya Peak master and others all fell silent as they looked at peak master Lianyi with complicated expressions.
