Chapter 306: Still Can't Escape

Lin Chuan, already incomparably powerful, at this moment took on an even more mysterious image in the hearts of the many geniuses.

The events progressed more smoothly than Lin Chuan had imagined.

Before the Black Mist, even Bi Luo Yan and Golden Spirit Mountain did not interfere, and they conducted a thorough investigation of the Black Mist.

Time passed.

The Immortal Weapon Karma Mirror's tracking continued unabated.

Starting from Nan Gong Ya, the endless Karma spread outward, and the Wang Xian Great Beings jointly traced it back.

All Black Mist traces within the Karma were completely eradicated.

"Is it over?"

The worry in Lin Chuan's heart did not dissipate because of this.

Even if the invading darkness has truly been eliminated, who can know whether the Black Mist, now bearing terrifying sentient intelligence, might invade again by another means?

The Black Mist is full of the unknown, impossible to guard against.

Any movement can tug at the heartstrings of countless cultivators in the Nine-phase World.

The Wang Xian Great Beings all returned.

The Zhongsheng Ball's instrument spirit spoke again,

"The Black Mist traces within the Karma Traceback have been erased; now I announce the second matter: from now on, the Nine-phase World will enter a full alert state."

"Lasted for a hundred years."

"During the hundred years, the nine great Guardians of the Star Ring Realm will trigger the Grand Array of Soul Purification to reinforce the ancient seal at the highest level."

"The Star Realm and Mundane World will each appoint a Patrol Guardian, chosen from the helm holders of the other ten super powers besides the Sun‑Eaten Valley, each serving for ten years."

"Within the ten‑year term, they shall, under the Supreme Decree, patrol the Mundane World and Star Realm, thoroughly inspecting Black Mist traces."

No one dares to guarantee that, beyond the traced Karma traces, Black Mist does not still exist.

Perhaps the Black Mist entered the Nine-phase World long before the invasion of Nan Gong Ya.

This matter must be handled with caution.

"The elder agrees."

"The sovereign has no objection."

"Fine."

"…"

The Wang Xian Great Beings all expressed their willingness to serve as Patrol Guardians.

The ten‑year patrol has a negligible effect on cultivation.

"This instrument spirit here thanks all Daoist Friends on behalf of the world's beings."

The Zhongsheng Ball transformed into the form of a lantern‑bearing youth, bowing to thank the Wang Xian Great Beings.

"Then, according to the rules, we will draw lots to decide the order of serving as Patrol Guardians."

The instrument spirit scattered ten streams of light, falling in sequence.

It produced the list determining the order of Patrol Guardians.

Qiu Fuzi of the Haoran Wuji Zong was first, Qian Shisan of Yin Zhai was second, and Qingqiu Emperor Lord Baizhou was last.

For the Wang Xian Great Beings, who have lived for tens of thousands of years, there is no objection to the ordering.

"Thank you, Daoist Friends."

The instrument spirit bowed again, "The Guardians' joint petition is complete; the Supreme Decree council concludes."

With the words ending, space rippled.

Eight Dao figures appeared beside the Zhongsheng Ball.

It was the super geniuses who had received the Ascension inheritance, as well as today's most watched Lin Chuan.

Whenever Lin Chuan appeared, the atmosphere of heaven and earth became subtle again.

All factions immediately seized their own super geniuses who had completed the inheritance, and even the wandering cultivator Mo Sha silently departed.

Princess Bi Luo Yan Nan Gong Xin's murderous intent spread unabashedly.

Hao Xuan Jiao Zu shouted angrily,

"Nan Gong Xin, regarding the matter of Nan Gong Ya, the Zhongsheng Ball and the Star Ring Realm Guardians have already reached a conclusion; you should accept it yourself."

"The death of Nan Gong Ya was not caused by Lin Chuan; why do you still refuse to stop?"

"Is it because you insist on holding a grudge against a junior?"

"The matter of Nan Gong Ya indeed has nothing to do with Lin Chuan; I, Bi Luo Yan, acknowledge that." Nan Gong Xin nodded.

She then shifted her tone, "But that does not mean anything good; the Strongest Heavenly Demon Old Ancestor once ravaged the world, slaughtering the life of an entire domain."

"As a Heavenly Demon inheritor, the threat to heaven and earth is too great."

"They dare to openly seize the auspicious qi of the Fo Men sacred site Golden Spirit Mountain; in the future they will only become more rampant, becoming the greatest scourge of the Nine-phase World."

Nan Gong Xin took a step forward.

"Today, I, the palace, petition here; comrades, let us together slay the evil demons!"

"The Xin Palace Master speaks reasonably."

The Great Sun Fozu pressed his palms together and said gravely, "I, the Fozu, do not wish the calamity that befell Golden Spirit Mountain to spread further into the world."

Fengshuang Pavilion Master Fang Li also stepped forward, "If Lin Chuan is willing to hand over the method of controlling the Pure World Twin Lotuses, it would count as reform and could spare him from the death penalty."

He stared fiercely, fixing his gaze on Lin Chuan, "Kid, are you willing?"

"I am willing."

Lin Chuan smiled.

"Hmm?"

Fang Li was startled for a moment.

Nan Gong Xin and Great Sun Fozu were both puzzled, what is this kid up to?

"Since you're willing, then hand it over."

Fang Li naturally wasn't afraid of a junior's scheme.

"Of course you may," Lin Chuan smiled, "but the junior has a small request."

"You speak." Fang Li nodded.

"The junior hands over the means of controlling the Pure World Twin Lotuses, for the cultivators of this world, your Fengshuang Pavilion, and also Biluoyuan, Golden Spirit Mountain—should they also be so?"

"Publicly reveal your inheritance, to benefit all living beings of the world."

"Even I, a junior, have such a vision; I suppose a few seniors wouldn't be stingy, right?"

Lin Chuan said solemnly.

"You dare play me?"

Fang Li smiled, murderous intent in his eyes, "You control the evil demon force that harms the world; how dare you compare yourself with us?"

"Today, if you don't hand it over! Then die!"

"We will never allow such evil demons as you to persist in the world."

After being toyed with, Fang Li was thoroughly enraged.

"Old thing, you have no face."

Lin Chuan stopped pretending, sneering, "Regarding evil nature, your Fengshuang Pavilion should be ranked first. Want to kill me? First, cut yourself and apologize!"

Sss!

The cultivators watching from afar were utterly shocked, gasping sharply.

They didn't expect Lin Chuan's attitude to be so hard; not only did he refuse the Immortal Observing Grand War, but also hurled a string of insults.

Is this something a lone cultivator could accomplish?

With Lin Chuan's outburst, the atmosphere between heaven and earth dropped to the freezing point.

Boom!

Fang Li acted, raising his black staff, smashing toward the space where Lin Chuan stood, as if to completely erase that space.

"Master Fang, why must you get angry with a junior?"

Qingqiu Emperor Lord Baizhou stepped forward, firmly blocking the strike, and effortlessly protected Lin Chuan.

"All attack!"

Fang Li barked coldly, "Exterminate the evil demons!"

When the words fell, Biluoyuan Palace Master Nan Gong Xin and Great Sun Fozu of Golden Spirit Mountain moved, but were blocked by An Ci and Hao Xuan Jiao Zu.

Wu Clan's Zhu Yan, seeing this, hesitated no more and joined the battle.

"Brother Zhu Yan, the Emperor will meet you."

Cloud Emperor gave a faint smile, locking onto Wu Clan Clan Chief Zhu Yan.

The Immortal Observing Grand War was about to erupt.

Of course, no one gave their all, because they knew that in a one‑on‑one fight, killing a peer Immortal was far too difficult.

At this moment, it was a contest of reinforcements.

Whichever side can produce an extra Immortal gains a decisive kill.

Great Sun Fozu's face turned sour, "If it weren't for the Purple Star Emperor Sect's trick, Burning Lamp Fozu had passed away; at this moment, no one could protect Lin Chuan."

"It seems we can only ask that one to act!"
