Chapter 408 - 309: Immortal Dynasty (Part 2)
He could sense this aura, but it seemed... somewhat familiar?
Xiang Wuji suddenly smiled.
In an instant, his attire transformed into a long robe with black base and red patterns, and his face became somewhat defiant and sinister.
"It truly is fate..."
Xiang Wuji looked up, and although the figure was still at the horizon, he could clearly see this figure dressed revealingly, with a charming appearance.
Isn’t this an old acquaintance?
The person Jiang Zhao mentioned, what’s the name again? Aunt Yuh, right.
"Where does Your Excellency intend to take this child?"
At this moment, Aunt Yuh was completely different from the arrogant image Xiang Wuji had seen in the Everlasting Sect in a past life. Instead, she was vigilant and apprehensive, watching Xiang Wuji.
Xiang Wuji wasted no words; a blood-red thunder light appeared on his body.
"Come, either kill me, or be killed by me."
The next second, a demon god’s phantom flickered behind Xiang Wuji.
"I haven’t stretched my limbs in two hundred years..."
Xiang Wuji grasped the thunder, turning it into a bolt of lightning that struck upward, directly hitting Aunt Yuh’s physical body.
The backlash shattered the ice layer, causing the Spiritual Qi storm and avalanche to expand, surprisingly scattering the white snow, as if a heavy snowfall had descended upon the world.
"How is your cultivation still at the Early-Stage Nascent Soul..."
Battered flesh and blood splattered onto Xiang Wuji’s face, as half of Aunt Yuh’s shoulder was forcibly shattered.
At the same time, a sharp blade was viciously embedded in Xiang Wuji’s neck.
However, though the flesh was cut, not a single drop of blood flowed out.
Doubt and uncertainty appeared in Aunt Yuh’s eyes.
"How could it be, you..."
The previous hasty strike was executed with her Lifebound Treasure, a blow that even a Nascent Soul wouldn’t dare to receive directly.
A smile appeared on Xiang Wuji’s face.
His memory seemed to drift back to that day in his previous life when Xiang Wuji was traveling, only to be crushed to death by a finger descending from the sky, much like... crushing an ant.
"Let me ask you..."
Aunt Yuh’s True Essence erupted, transforming into several Divine Techniques.
With a flick of her left hand, a broken sword was also thrust out, stabbing towards Xiang Wuji’s Dantian.
With a "thud," the broken sword pierced into it, injecting a force filled with destructive energy into Xiang Wuji’s body, an energy potent enough to obliterate a Demon Emperor’s sturdy physical body. Yet, it was as silent as water entering the ocean at this moment.
Xiang Wuji, towering above, calmly looked at Aunt Yuh as his body swelled up, his hand gripping Aunt Yuh’s head.
"Boom——————"
Like thunder crashing down from the heavens, a massive snow mountain was forcibly shaved off at its corner.
Xiang Wuji dropped the remains in his hand, then reached out with his right hand to grab back the escaping Nascent Soul.
"No, please don’t..."
A weak plea sounded, not from his hand, but from behind, from Jiang Zhao who obediently stayed by the Teleportation Array.
Xiang Wuji hesitated slightly, then with a flick, a sharp Divine Sense Needle pierced into the Nascent Soul.
It disrupted its memory structure, but also spared its life.
[You easily defeated Aunt Yuh, your first victory over a same-rank opponent since your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul.]
[You feel that... same-rank opponents seem particularly weak against you?]
[You intended to kill her, but at Jiang Zhao’s plea, you ultimately spared her, yet secretly damaged her memory, settling the past life’s grievances in the past life.]
[In both past and present lives, you owe Jiang Zhao a favor.]
[Knowing you’ve been discovered by Great Wei, you activated the Array, leaving with Jiang Zhao.]
[Beyond Great Wei is the Jinxia Domain, the territory of the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance. A world-ending catastrophe will one day befall Great Wei from within, wherever this Space Array takes you, it can’t be worse than the current situation.]
[The world spins, you seem to miss some crucial aspects of controlling the Teleportation Array, and the spatial turbulence continually tears at your body. Fortunately, your cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul, and if it were still Golden Core, the True Essence Shield would certainly shatter quickly. Even if you survived, your injuries wouldn’t be light.]
[You used extra power to protect Jiang Zhao.]
[You’ve arrived in a new world.]
[You briefly stabilized your aura and froze for a moment, because the Array setup here is almost identical to the one in the Great Wei Blessed Land, even the surrounding ice and snow, and temperature, are nearly the same.]
[This place seems to be what the Ice Valley was like thousands of years before it was sealed in ice.]
[Dumbfounded, you looked up at the sky, unexpectedly finding nine Haoyang kneeling in a special form, crawling slowly in the sky.]
[After settling Jiang Zhao, you set out to explore alone.]
[You could faintly feel that this world was more expansive than the Great Wei Blessed Land, almost akin to the feeling during the Ningzhou period.]
For High-Tier Cultivators, traveling from the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm to a Blessed Land or Pocket World always brings a subtle sense of restraint.
It’s very thin, but cannot be ignored.
This is due to the size of the world.
Jiuzhou is too vast, capable of accommodating Immortals, with stable space and abundant Spiritual Qi.
The upper limit of some Blessed Land Grotto Heavens is the Nascent Soul, and Nascent Soul Cultivators naturally sense discomfort.
It’s as if Jiuzhou is a large house with a ceiling height of four meters, allowing free movement, while a Blessed Land Grotto Heaven might only have a height of two meters or even shorter.
[After settling Jiang Zhao, you went off alone to investigate the situation.]
[Three months later, you’ve changed identities seven or eight times, narrowly avoiding detection each time. There seems to be a unique method here to perceive identities.]
[What surprises you immensely is that this place is also Great Wei...]
[However, it’s not the Great Wei Dynasty, but... the Great Wei Immortal Dynasty!]
[A State-level Influence in Changzhou! An endless territory with a national lifespan of ten thousand years in the Great Wei Immortal Dynasty!]
[You are quite surprised, and with your multitude of techniques, you quickly arranged a new identity for yourself and Jiang Zhao.]
[At this time, Jiang Zhao has no intention of leaving the Great Wei Dynasty as a lone figure. She often looks at you with resentful eyes, and along the way, seven or eight young heroes attempted to rescue her, much to your annoyance.]
[Not having personally killed Aunt Yuh, you left some room for your relationship to ease.]
[In another way, you recounted your past life encounter with Jiang Zhao.]
[In your words, you had some foreknowledge of opportunities, predicting bits and pieces of events on another timeline.]
[Although you’re not too familiar with Jiang Zhao, as a Nascent Soul, you could easily access your memory bank, recounting a few details from before.]
[Jiang Zhao was taken aback. She could feel the truth in your words, and surprisingly, she felt a sense of sympathy as if you both were lonely prophets.]
[After calming Jiang Zhao, you reluctantly continued to explore this place.]
[In the year 11,718 of the Changtian Calendar, you’ve already lived here for a few years as an undocumented resident.]
[You startlingly discovered that many of the systems of the Great Wei Immortal Dynasty were about 90% similar to those in the Great Wei Dynasty within the Blessed Land.]
[Even the terrain, topography, and distribution of counties are almost identical, as if carved from the same mold.]
[Previously, the Great Wei was merely a force within a Blessed Land, capable of contending with five large-scale Cultivation Realms.]
[However, the current Great Wei Immortal Dynasty is vastly different. Legend has it that the founding Immortal Emperor of the Great Wei Immortal Dynasty manually combined nine Pocket Worlds to create the Imperial Capital of Great Wei. The nine Pocket Worlds only constitute a part of the Immortal Dynasty’s Imperial Capital.]
[Beyond the Pocket Worlds, the Great Wei Immortal Dynasty occupies countless lands, nearly the entire territory of Changzhou belonging to the Great Wei Immortal Dynasty.]
[On the surface, the Great Wei has nine National Guardian Immortal Sects, each with a Divinity Transformation overseeing it, while the Imperial Court within the Great Wei Dynasty boasts more Divinity Transformation than can be counted on two hands, undetectable by outsiders...]
