Chapter 113

Supreme One Sect.

Inside the hall where Hua Tiandu refined the Jiazi Divine Elixir, many people had gathered, and Song Weiyi and others of the 'One' generation, all Ancient Giants, were present there.

Everyone, we have not failed our mission; ten thousand Jiazi Divine Elixirs have been refined, and they are all here.

Hua Tiandu wore a green robe, his face showing fatigue, he held aloft a golden gourd as tall as a person, and solemnly handed it to Song Weiyi and the others.

Even though his cauldron was the Great Wilderness Ancient Cauldron, a premium Dao artifact left by the Panwu Immortal Venerable, marvelously intricate and capable of refining ten thousand Jiazi Divine Elixirs, it still consumed a great deal of his energy and vitality.

Good, Brother Tian Du, you are indeed wholly devoted to our Supreme One Sect; I believe the Sect Master Venerable, upon learning of this, will feel gratified and will soon issue an edict permitting you to cultivate within our Supreme One Sect's Immortal Artifact, the Eternal Divine Cauldron. Song Weiyi took the golden gourd, his eyes showing admiration.

Brother Weiyi, you flatter me; this is simply my duty, what is there to mention? Hua Tiandu's weary face broke into a genuine smile.

Let's set this matter aside for now.

In one, one look `'`.

First, let's talk about Mist-Rosy Cloud Peak.

She wore robes like mist and water, her visage transcendent, her bearing like a pure water lotus; especially the faint watermark on her brow added a touch of mystery.

He, Hua Tiandu, is the future Sect Master Venerable; the Ascension Gate is his, and it must not develop in this way.

Fang Qingxue had no choice but to change the subject, saying: 'Are you really not coming to Shadow Island tomorrow to act with us?'

This talisman displayed five colors, remarkably similar to the five-colored jade talisman Chen Zheng used to contact Fang Qingxue.

Hearing this, Wang Tianyi and Song Weiyi, among others, exchanged a glance and all felt greatly disappointed.

This peak towers ten thousand zhang high, floating in midair, everywhere shrouded in thick mist, with vapor permeating the air.

Who would have thought Hua Tiandu fears tigers ahead and wolves behind, waiting until he reaches the Longevity Secret Realm before daring to act against Chen Zheng—he's utterly useless.

Like Fang Qingxue, although she is the reincarnation of the Lightning Mother, she still possesses a strong mortal aura.

At this moment, a woman stood within the hall on the mountain summit.

Song Weiyi and the others praised repeatedly, their eyes full of envy as they looked at Hua Tiandu.

By the way, everyone, is Junior Sister Yan currently within your sect? Hua Tiandu suddenly changed the subject and asked.

It is said that the Sect Master Venerable intends to have our sect's elder sister, Yan Shuiyi, become engaged to Brother Tian Du, and when you both reach the Longevity Secret Realm, that will be the time for your wedding.

This woman is Yan Shuiyi, the reincarnation of the ancient water god; in this life she has attained the tenth level of divine power, the Realm of Defying Heaven and Altering Fate, capable of standing against even Ancient Giants.

Yan Shuiyi, unlike the servants attending to Hua, was not in secluded cultivation; instead she held a jade talisman, using it to communicate with others.

Unfortunately, when he arrived outside Mist-Rosy Cloud Peak, the attendants informed him that Yan Shuiyi was in secluded cultivation and could not receive visitors.

Song Weiyi took up the conversation: 'I have received news that not long ago Chen Zheng accomplished a great deed within the Linglong Blessed Land—he ascended the Heaven-Stepping Ladder, obtaining the reward from our sect's traitor Linglong, and he made a three-year pact with Wan Lianshan to duel at the Immortal Assembly.'

Yet this woman bore no mortal aura whatsoever; at a glance she seemed not human, but a deity of nature.

After five hundred years, their feelings have deepened; they can talk about almost anything, and even some not-so-important secrets of the Supreme One Sect, Yan Shuiyi tells Fang Qingxue everything without reservation.

If this continues, what propriety is there? Must the Ascension Gate become a demonic sect in the eyes of outsiders?

He turned around and smiled at the assembled members of the Supreme One Sect: 'It's fine; let that jumping clown jump about for a few days. Now, some elders in my Ascension Gate harbor fantasies about him; if I were to strike and kill him, Feng Baiyu would have objections. Once I cultivate to the Longevity Secret Realm, and even rely on my ample reserves to break through in one go to the Second Level of Immortal Undying Body, I will have sufficient weight in the Ascension Gate, then like an unstoppable heavenly trend I will grind Chen Zheng to dust, and none will be able to stop or oppose me.'

This shows how formidable she is.

Hmm, I will go to Mist-Rosy Cloud Peak to become acquainted with Junior Sister Yan, exchange a few words, then return to the Ascension Gate.

He gave a slight nod to the crowd: 'The day of the Immortal Assembly will be when I and Junior Sister Yan jointly attain longevity. Now I must return to the Ascension Gate to attend to some matters. Everyone, farewell.'

And this seizure captured one of Chen Zheng's acquaintances, and also made use of one of Chen Zheng's acquaintances.

This return to the Ascension Gate also saw the opening act of a great upheaval in sect rectification, all because Hua Tiandu's stay in the Supreme One Sect grew longer, making him feel ever more that although both sides are among the ten immortal sects, the gap between them is too vast.

Even Fang Qingxue's establishment of a power at sea, subduing the forty fierce bandits and becoming their chief, owed much to Yan Shuiyi's efforts.

Hearing this, Yan Shuiyi's brow eased slightly, yet she shook her head: 'Although Chen Zheng is called the reincarnation of the Demon Realm's Sovereign, his cultivation is still too low; without over a hundred years he cannot grow, and he is not of the same path as my Supreme One Sect—I have no interest in him, so you need not speak further.'

It is said that three hundred years ago, Yan Shuiyi clashed with an Ancient Giant of the Heaven-Extinction Demon Sect named 'Xing Wu Blood'—she was trapped by the opponent's supreme demonic formation for three days and nights, yet they could not harm her in the slightest; instead she tore apart the formation, broke free, and destroyed several of Xing Wu Blood's magical treasures.

Hua Tiandu smiled faintly, his words carrying an air of disdain for the world, admirable. If Chen Zheng were present, he would instantly recognize this as Fang Qingxue's voice.

Between mist and water, blossoms bloomed; sunlight poured down from the high heavens, refracting into beautiful rainbows, as if a cave-heaven blessed land.

Wang Tianyi, wearing a purple-gold hair-binding crown, asked: 'I wonder, Brother Tian Du, what confidence do you have in advancing to the Longevity Secret Realm by cultivating in the Eternal Divine Cauldron?'

The Supreme One Sect's rules are strict; disciples obey prohibitions, discipline is clear, and unity is absolute.

At that time, Brother Tian Du's longevity celebration and wedding will be held together, surely shaking the entire Xuanhuang Grand World and becoming a celebrated tale.

Good, good, good, Hua Tiandu is not worthy of you; only someone like Chen Zheng, a rare genius capable of topping the Heaven-Stepping Ladder, might be worthy of you. Fang Qingxue's divine sense transmitted again.

Hua Tiandu smiled faintly, not insisting, and left the Supreme One Sect with Cang Bai zi.

Wang Tianyi suddenly said: 'Brother Tian Du, wait; on this return to the Ascension Gate you must also beware of Chen Zheng, whose progress is extremely swift and poses a great threat to your future bid for the Ascension Gate's Sect Master position.'

Just as Yan Shuiyi was about to be killed by the black-clad men, despair rising, Fang Qingxue suddenly descended from the heavens, drove off the group of black-clad men, and rescued her.

The more Hua Tiandu listened, the more his spirits lifted; he stood with hands behind his back, full of vigor and high spirits.

Best to simply kill Chen Zheng outright.

It seems this good-for-nothing cannot be relied upon; we must act ourselves to eliminate Chen Zheng.

Yan Shuiyi's brow rose, and she infused her divine sense into the five-colored jade talisman: 'Silence, what is Hua Tiandu but a dog of my Supreme One Sect, still a fiancé? Is he worthy? Do not mention him again in the future.'

Hua Tiandu's brows bore a pleased expression; he clasped his hands before the crowd, then took Cang Bai zi and left the hall to go cultivate feelings with Yan Shuiyi.

The grudge between Chen Zheng and the Supreme One Sect will not be resolved merely by the previous battles with Fang Qingxue on the Heavenly Punishment Platform.

Whether I enter the Eternal Divine Cauldron to cultivate or not, I will inevitably reach the Longevity Secret Realm; it's merely a matter of sooner or later. Moreover, this time will not be long— as short as three years, as long as five years.

What other matter is there? Hua Tiandu's steps halted, his heart stirred: 'It seems Chen Zheng's Heavenly Slaughter Divine Shark Boat was obtained then by trickery from Wan Lianshan.'

Speaking of which, five hundred years ago, while Yan Shuiyi was exploring the Northern Ocean, she encountered a group of black-clad men masquerading as the 'Divine Tribe,' who surrounded her.

Although they all claim to be Ancient Giants, differing from True Ancient Giants by only one character, to change 'thousand' into 'ten thousand' is as hard as reaching the azure heavens.

'Younger Sister Shuiyi, has your fiancé Hua Tiandu left?' a divine thought transmitted from the five-colored jade talisman, pleasant to hear.

We must quell the chaos and restore order, seize a few typical cases, and punish them severely.

They constantly wish for Chen Zheng's death.

The purpose of what they just said was to make Hua Hua Tiandou Du feel a sense of crisis, and upon returning to the Feather Ascension Sect, he could not wait to find trouble for Chen Zheng.

Yan Shui Yi was actually sending a message to Fan Qing Ying, the chief bandit; they are quite familiar? Indeed, they really are.

The Feather Ascension Sect, however, is filled with corruption; some disciples practice Demonic Cultivation, some use demonic treasures, they spend their days scheming against each other, and moreover, it has produced a lawless scourge like Chen Zheng.

Afterward, Yan Shui Yi felt grateful for this and became close confidantes with Fan Qing Ying.

"It should be on her Mistcloud Peak."

"Then let me congratulate Brother Tian Du in advance."

"It seems the news of the Grand One Sect's Sect Leader granting marriage has just spread, making Junior Sister Yan feel delighted and shy, so she dare not see me for now. Give her some time to digest this; she will eventually be my woman."

"It should be that the news of the Taiyi Sect's sect master bestowing a marriage has just spread, making Junior Sister Yan feel delighted and shy, so she temporarily dare not see me. Give her some time to digest it; she will sooner or later be my woman."

Yan Shui Yi refused, saying: "No, Wan Gui Immortal Island is after all one of the Ten Immortal Dao Sects; I dare not act, for if my identity is recognized, I would have difficulty explaining it to the sect."

Yan Shui refused, saying: "No, Wan Gui Immortal Island is after all one of the Ten Immortal Gates; I'd better not intervene, for if my identity were recognized, it would be hard to explain to the sect."

Fan Qing Ying's voice carried regret as she added: "Chen Zheng killed two of my bandit chiefs, and your Grand One Sect's intelligence network spreads across the world; if you have any news of him, don't forget to inform me."

Fan Qingying's voice carried regret, and she added: "That Chen Zheng killed two of my bandits under my command, and your Taiyi Sect's intelligence network spreads across the world; if you have any news of him, don't forget to inform me."
