Chapter 1032 Memory
Swoosh!
The entire Law Domain seemed to have frozen when the little azure light speck penetrated the center of old demon Long Gu’s brows.
The Law Domain experts watching closely couldn’t help gasping in astonishment. Chi Jing’s strength had far surpassed their expectations.
Of course, what surprised them the most was that Chi Jing had refined a Law Domain treasure, which signified she had reached the top level of the Law Domain stage. Among the Tianyuan Region’s five grand elders, only sect master Xuan Kun, who had the most experience, had reached that level.
The fact that Chi Jing could surpass the other three grand elders and refine a Law Domain treasure before any of them clearly demonstrated her amazing talent. It was no wonder that supreme sovereign Cang Yuan thought highly of her and accepted her as an official disciple.
In the black Law Domain, old demon Long Gu’s body gradually turned to black powder and dispersed, but at the same time, a beam of black light entered the void and fled.
The black Law Domain cracked and shattered like glass, eventually crumbling.
Old demon Long Gu wasn’t killed directly because it wasn't easy to kill a Law Domain expert. Even if Chi Jing possessed a Law Domain treasure, she couldn't completely obliterate her opponent.
However, old demon Long Gu hadn’t escaped unscathed. Not only did his Law Domain shatter, but he had also suffered severe injuries. It would take him a long time to recover, and it could even affect his progress in the future. He might even have difficulty reaching the third level of the Law Domain stage in this life.
He had paid an extremely heavy price, and Chi Jing had fiercely established her authority through her victory.
When old demon Long Gu was severely wounded and he fled, both sides’ Law Domain experts paused for a moment.
Hong Jiuyuan, from the Crimson Cloud Sword Sect, said, “Grand elder Chi Jing is powerful. I didn’t expect her to have hidden her strength so well.”
The main reason old demon Long Gu was wounded and lost this time was because he fell into Chi Jing’s trick. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suffered such severe injuries even if he couldn’t win.
The Great Five Alliance’s other Law Domain experts hadn’t said a word, but it was clear they had increased their vigilance.
Space rippled as five figures slowly emerged from the void. They were Chi Jing, Xuan Kun, Mu Ni, Bian Chang and Bai Ye, the five grand elders.
Nearby, a group of figures also appeared. It was Hong Jiuyuan, mountain lord Gui Yuan and the other Law Domain experts.
They hadn’t appeared in their real bodies; instead, they were using Genesis Qi to create their figures.
Chi Jing’s short, burgundy hair fluttered as she narrowed her eyes fiercely at her opponents. “If you’re still so stupid and stubborn to listen, you will all suffer the same result as old demon Long Gu.”
The white-haired and white-bearded ethereal mountain lord Gui Yuan chuckled, “Grand elder Chi Jing is too arrogant. Although you’ve refined a Law Domain treasure, it won’t be enough to destroy us all.”
Chi Jing lifted her slender hand. A little azure light speck emerged and then turned into an azure orb whirling in her palm. She smiled. “Old man Gui Yuan, if you don’t believe it, you can have a try first.”
Mountain lord Gui Yuan’s pupils shrank when he saw the azure orb, and an obviously fearful, vigilant look flashed across his eyes.
Sect master Xuan Kun said indifferently, “Don’t talk nonsense here. Since you have no intention of fighting, get out of the Chiyun Prefecture with your people.”
After one Law Domain expert had suffered serious injuries, the others most likely didn’t intend to continue to fight. Moreover, the Tianyuan Region had begun to strike back in the battlefield below, and the Great Five Alliance’s armies were already showing signs of defeat.
The Tianyuan Region was evidently winning the Chiyun Prefecture battle.
Xuan Kun and the others didn’t plan on stopping Hong Jiuyuan and the others from leaving because their opponents were just apparitions formed from Genesis Qi. Without locking onto their Law Domains, it would be useless no matter how many times they destroyed them.
Law Domain experts possessed means that could do anything. How could they be defeated so easily?
Hong Jiuyuan and the others swept their gazes across the battlefield below and paused on a young figure. Zhou Yuan was the one responsible for the failure of their plan.
Their gazes collided, looking furious.
Hu.
Hong Jiuyuan drew a deep breath, quelling his anger. He said calmly, “Don’t worry, the Great Five Alliance will give up on the Chiyun Prefecture’s battleline. But don’t be so smug. This war hasn’t finished.”
“My Tianyuan Region is ready to fight anytime.” Chi Jing smiled coldly.
Hong Jiuyuan chuckled, but a strange expression came to his face. “Grand elder Chi Jing, you won’t be happy for too long. Your Tianyuan Region will lose this war!”
Chi Jing glared coldly. “Don’t talk nonsense!”
With a flick of her finger, the boundless azure wind mightily gushed forth and tore Hong Jiuyuan’s and the others’ bodies to shreds.
Their bodies scattered like powder, but cold, mocking laughter continued to echo throughout the void.
As Chi Jing, Xuan Kun and the others watched the opponents’ Law Domain disperse, they exchanged glances with one another.
Grand elder Mu Ni scrunched her brows. “What did Hong Jiuyuan mean by that?”
Could he be just acting tough?
The others shook their heads, frowning. Although the Great Five Alliance’s offensive was fierce, they wouldn’t be able to break through the Tianyuan Region’s defense line. Since one of their Law Domain experts had been wounded, they would likely rest for a period of time first.
Sect master Xuan Kun waved his hand. “It doesn’t matter. Just be on guard.”
Chi Jing nodded and shifted her gaze to the battlefield below.
Her voice resounded throughout the world. “The Great Five Alliance’s Law Domain experts have retreated. Attack with all your strength! Drive the enemy away!”
Her voice resembled the sound of heaven when it fell in the ears of the Tianyuan Region’s soldiers. The army burst into deafening cheers, and their morale soared.
On the other hand, the Great Five Alliances’ armies panicked. If even Law Domain experts fled, they would no doubt die if they stayed any longer.
They had lost their will to battle!
Even the Nascent Source experts sighed inwardly and left without any hesitation. Their retreat led to the alliance army’s collapse, and countless figures fled haphazardly.
Standing in the center of the campsite, Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. The situation had been reversed, and more importantly, the opponent’s Law Domain experts had paid a heavy price.
Having been deterred in such a way, the Great Five Alliance would likely not dare create trouble in the near future.
While thinking this, Zhou Yuan tilted his head to look at the jade-like Heavenly Fire Tree King on his shoulder.
The Heavenly Fire Tree King also sensed that the crisis had been averted. It waved its branches at Zhou Yuan as though expressing its gratitude.
Then, it suddenly extended a branch towards the center of Zhou Yuan’s eyebrows.
Zhou Yuan didn't feel any malicious intent, so after some hesitation, he let it pierce his skin with the branch.
Boom!
A deep roar echoed in his mind when the branch touched him. The world then spun, and the battlefield vanished, the battle cries fading.
The surrounding mountains and rivers also changed, but the scenery remained Chiyun Prefecture. The only difference was that the mountains weren’t occupied by an endless ancient red forest.
Zhou Yuan was puzzled why the Heavenly Fire Tree King would pass this memory to him.
It was then that he suddenly felt a change
in the scenery. Space rippled, and a figure stepped out from the void.
The figure exuded a vast and boundless aura, and even if it was clearly just an image, Zhou Yuan couldn’t help shuddering when the person appeared.
His eyes widened.
The figure was master Cang Yuan!
Chapter 1033 Open up
“Master!”
Zhou Yuan stared in astonishment at the figure hovering within this illusory scene. This image should be one of the Heavenly Fire Tree King's memories, but why would Cang Yuan be within it!?
What’s happening?!
The Heavenly Fire Tree King had met master before?
Full of puzzlement, Zhou Yuan stared intently at Cang Yuan’s figure.
In the Heavenly Fire Tree King’s memory, Cang Yuan still had white hair and a beard, but when he had appeared, the world had rumbled as though in awe of the Saint expert. Compared to the Cang Yuan in Zhou Yuan’s mind, this Cang Yuan possessed a far more powerful aura.
Hovering in the void, Cang Yuan swept his eyes across the rolling mountains beneath him and nodded gently. He then immediately lifted his hand, and a jade-green sapling appeared in his palm. Flames were slowly rising from its body.
Hu.
Cang Yuan opened his mouth and exhaled a mouthful of Genesis Qi towards the jade-green sapling. The Genesis Qi flickered with countless stardust, like a starry sky. It was clearly only a mouthful of Genesis Qi, but it seemed to contain a little world.
The starry-sky-like Genesis Qi wrapped around the jade-green sapling.
He whirled his hand around, and the jade-green sapling descended from the sky and landed on the mountain.
Boom!
The sapling instantly merged into the ground when it landed, quaking the mountains. Endless groves of large red trees erupted from the ground and grew at an astonishing rate, stunning Zhou Yuan.
The mountain range transformed into a crimson forest in just a few minutes, and the forest boundaries continued to expand.
It eventually became the present Heavenly Fire Ancient Forest.
“My master is the one who had planted the Heavenly Fire Tree King?!” Zhou Yuan muttered to himself.
The sapling that Cang Yuan tossed down was clearly the Heavenly Fire Tree King!
But Cang Yuan didn’t stop after planting the Heavenly Fire Tree King. He lifted his hand and another two light spheres, one blue and one silver, rose from his hand again.
As before, Cang Yuan breathed out and wrapped them in a mouthful of Genesis Qi. With the flick of his finger, the spheres streaked across the air and sped away.
Cang Yuan closed his eyes and waited for an unknown amount of time before folding his hands together.
Boom!
The entire world quaked, and Zhou Yuan could feel a domain forming between Cang Yuan’s hands.
Cang Yuan had opened up a new domain.
As the domain expanded, Cang Yuan's body gradually floated into the air. He then spread his hands out, and the new domain began to rise, merging with the world.
But it wasn’t over. Cang Yuan flicked his fingers, and the Heavenly Fire Ancient Forest below trembled frantically as beams of green light shot into the sky and pierced the clouds. They intertwined in the void to form a tremendous green light diagram.
After that, another two light pillars shot into the sky on the other two sides of the world, one azure blue and the other silver. They formed two gigantic light diagrams at a high height, and the diagrams rotated slowly with unfathomable power.
As the three light diagrams appeared the world, light beams burst from them, pierced the void and connected to one another.
Cang Yuan smiled at the light formation, then lifted his hands into the air.
Boom!
A scene that shocked Zhou Yuan appeared. Large beams of light fired into the sky from all over the vast world, merging into the light formation. Each light beam was dazzling and mighty, and the Genesis Qi it gathered made Zhou Yuan shudder with fear.
Under the Genesis Qi, he felt as small and insignificant as an ant.
What is master Cang Yuan doing?
Zhou Yuan watched in astonishment as hundreds of terrifying Genesis Qi light pillars fused into the formation. After some guidance and refinement within the light formation, they then poured into the domain that Cang Yuan had opened up like monstrous torrents.
As a result, the domain, which was originally devoid of life force, turned into a blessed land!
Even from just looking at this memory, Zhou Yuan could feel the vast, boundless Genesis Qi within the domain.
As more and more Genesis Qi gushed into the domain, with Cang Yuan’s extraordinary means, the three light diagrams were forcibly imprinted onto the domain entrance. The rippling throughout the world gradually subsided as the domain merged with the world.
The source of the three light diagrams also silently hid into the world.
Zhou Yuan was quietly watching. After a good while, he exhaled deeply. He finally knew what master Cang Yuan was doing.
If his guess was correct, the domain that Cang Yuan had opened up should be the center of the present Tianyuan Region, the Tianyuan Utopia!
Genesis Qi wasn't born in the Tianyuan Utopia, and according to his senior sister Chi Jing, it was the 900 prefectures of the Tianyuan Region that provided the Tianyuan Utopia with endless Genesis Qi.
But she evidently didn’t know the real reason why the Tianyuan Utopia had become the blessed land for cultivation that countless people in the Tianyuan Region yearned for. It was because of the mysterious light formation formed from the three light diagrams.
Only after refinement within the light formation would the world's universe Genesis Qi allow the Tianyuan Utopia to develop to its current state.
Zhou Yuan couldn’t help marveling. If his guess was right, the source of the three light diagrams was the Heavenly Fire Tree King and two other mythical creatures.
This was the Tianyuan Region’s greatest secret.
Perhaps, even the grand elders such as Chi Jing and Xuan Kun didn’t know it. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be confused about the Heavenly Fire Tree King’s existence.
But why would the Great Five Alliance know about the Heavenly Fire Tree King’s existence and even try to capture it?
Zhou Yuan was taken aback for a moment. The next moment, he seemed to understand something. A chill surged from the soles of his feet.
The opponent’s real target might be the Tianyuan Utopia?
Why would they know about the secret that even Chi Jing and the others didn’t?
Hong Jiuyuan and the other Law Domain experts do not have that kind of ability.
It was supreme sovereign Wan Zu!
Zhou Yuan felt a chill in his heart. Others might not know, but supreme sovereign Wan Zu, a top expert in the world, would perhaps be able to see through this secret.
He wanted to hunt down the three mystical creatures, break the formation diagrams and destroy the Tianyuan Utopia from the roots!
What a vicious plan!
It was much more terrifying to destroy the Tianyuan Utopia than capturing the region's many prefectures!
Zhou Yuan’s scalp numbed. Supreme sovereign Wan Zu would use any trick to force my master out.
Chapter 1034 Wind Rain Lake and Bottomless Golden Lightning Abyss
The memory image ended abruptly.
Battle cries sounded from all directions again, and Zhou Yuan opened his eyes with beads of cold sweat on his forehead.
He panted heavily, and his face turned pale. Supreme sovereign Wan Zu’s vicious plan terrified him.
“Thank you,” Zhou Yuan said to the Heavenly Fire Tree King on his shoulder.
The information it passed to Zhou Yuan was very important. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known the enemy’s real motive even after they destroyed the Tianyuan Utopia.
Zhou Yuan swept his eyes around the chaotic battlefield and unhesitatingly crushed the jade medal Chi Jing gave him.
The v
oid rippled, and two beautiful figures emerged. It was Chi Jing and grand elder Mu Ni.
"Zhou Yuan, you have made a great contribution this time.” Chi Jing smiled approvingly when she saw Zhou Yuan. If he hadn’t sneaked into the enemy’s camp and stolen the Heavenly Fire Tree King, the outcome of the war might have been very different. It was really hard to say, but she most likely wouldn’t have had the chance to severely wound old demon Long Gu.
Grand elder Mu Ni stared curiously at the translucent little tree on Zhou Yuan’s shoulder. “So that’s the Heavenly Fire Tree King? It really does possess immense power.”
Given her perception, she naturally realized the Heavenly Fire Tree King possessed tremendous pure Genesis Qi full of life force. It was just that the life force was too intense that it led to a poor attacking nature.
“Something has happened,” Zhou Yuan said with a solemn look. He then told them about the memory images he saw and supreme sovereign Wan Zu’s plan.
Chi Jing’s and Mu Ni's expressions changed drastically, and shocked disbelief surged through them.
“I can’t believe there are such secrets to the Tianyuan Utopia!” Chi Jing exclaimed.
Mu Ni clenched her teeth. “That old man is annoying. He didn’t even let us know about such an important thing!”
Chi Jing's expression was strangely serious. She suddenly lifted her hand, and the void around her rippled. Three more figures came out; it was Xuan Kun and the other two grand elders.
“Why did you call us?” Sect master Xuan Kun swept a glance over Zhou Yuan. “I know he has made great contributions to the war, but you don't need to call us all to praise him, right?"
He thought Chi Jing wanted to use this chance to ridicule him.
Chi Jing ignored him and turned to look at the Heavenly Fire Tree King. “Can we see the memory image?”
The Heavenly Fire Tree King didn’t refuse. It extended its branches towards the five grand elders.
Sect master Xuan Kun and the others scrunched their brows. They didn't understand what Chi Jing was doing, but they didn't oppose in the end, and they let the branch touch the center of their eyebrows. After all, given their strength, they didn’t need to worry that the Heavenly Fire Tree King would play any tricks in front of them.
