Lord Xue Ying

Within the cultivation room, the surging World Energy maelstrom finally dissipated.

Xue Ying who sat cross-legged opened his eyes. A grin unveiled on his face.

“Sky-Rending Great Paragon?” Xue Ying immediately sensed a guest from the outside world. He stood. Even though he needed to consolidate his newfound strength, it was most efficient doing it under the ‘Burning Heart God Tree’.

“Hong long long~”

Xue Ying went out of the room. Looking up, he saw Sky-Rending Great Paragon standing to the distance.

“Greetings, Great Paragon.” Xue Ying bowed.

“Mn?” A strand of shock flitted across the eyes of Sky-Rending Great Paragon. Xue Ying who just broke through did not conceal his aura at all. He had to apply the Nine Rotation Undying Technique to conceal it! But there was no need to do so at the Fan Clan Magic Mountain.

“Younger Brother Flying Snow…” Sky-Rending Great Paragon could sense the aura of Xue Ying becoming illusory and real at the same time, “You broke through to Cosmos God not in the Void Lineage but in the Mirage and Illusory Realm?”

“It’s all thanks to the Burning Heart God Tree. Adding up my previous and current life, I have accumulated a huge wealth of experience, yet I still lacked by quite a bit to the next realm. Who would have thought that I could take the final step after meditating under the Burning Heart God Tree.” Xue Ying sighed, “The Burning Heart God Tree is indeed mysterious.”

Sky-Rending Great Paragon revealed a grin: “Congratulations.”

Yet in his heart, he was speculating: ‘This Ying Shan Xue Ying could attain the pinnacle of void-ification and should specialize in the Dao of Void most in his previous life! Currently, he actually broke through in the Mirage and Illusory Realm to become a Cosmos God, making it harder to predict how strong he is now.’

“Great Paragon, I’ll first visit the Burning Heart God Tree since I still have some time left before reaching the limit of one year.” Xue Ying laughed.

“Hahaha… go on.” Sky-Rending Great Paragon laughed back. He did not deny in letting Xue Ying know how long he had left.

One year.

Only one year.

Once the period was up, Sky-Rending Great Paragon would certainly force Xue Ying to leave. Want to continue cultivating? He had to conduct in fair trade for it!

…

As the full one year period was reached.

Leaves could be seen falling from the Burning Heart God Tree.

Sky-Rending Great Paragon personally sent Xue Ying off. Naturally, Xue Ying showed an appearance of unwillingness and left reluctantly.

‘I do not believe that you do not wish to continue cultivating under the Burning Heart God Tree.’ Sky-Rending Great Paragon watched the departing figure of Xue Ying, thinking, ‘You are still confident now shortly after breaking through. Once you reached a bottleneck, and when you can’t improve any further, I’m sure you would want to seek another opportunity to cultivate under the Burning Heart God Tree.’

Most Great Paragons only focused on becoming stronger.

But few paid attention to external strength like Southern Cloud King who spent considerable effort to spread his Southern Cloud Sacred Religion and even created the <Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles>. He then relied on the religion to earn vast amounts of cosmos crystals so that he could gather more resources.

Sky-Rending Great Paragon similarly understood the importance of having strong subordinates and various kinds of external strength! In the Fan Clan, Sky-Rending Great Paragon was the one who wielded the strongest force out of the six Great Paragons. Many experts were on his side, and even ‘Ancestor Fan’ permitted him to preside over the operations of the entire Fan Clan.

Flying Snow Residence.

“Sou.”

A white-robed young man stealthily entered the cultivation room. He sat together with a golden-robed Xue Ying.

“Time to focus on cultivation.”

“I should use the fastest speed I could to promote the Dao of Void to the next realm too so that I can push the <Avatar Technique> To a higher level.” The two avatars sat cross-legged. They were both focusing on comprehending the Void Lineage.

Void Lineage

“Hong–”

Xue Ying’s accumulation in the Void Lineage was honestly too deep and resounding.

The Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles two secret impartation styles, Scarlet Cloud Combat Technique, Five Phases Sealing Technique, and the Nine Rotation Undying Technique…

At this moment, slightly pondering over the profound mysteries brought in a significant amount of enlightenment.

Previously, he dared not cultivate because Xue Ying knew he would break through.

“It seems I am breaking through in not just one branch of the Void Lineage.” At that moment of comprehension, Xue Ying understood that point.

…

Realm Heart Great Land. Over at a sea region slightly closer to Myriad Realms Ancient Nation, this was a region known as the ‘Icy Mist Sea’. The Icy Mist Sea was vast. Over in this region, there was a vast island governed by a tier-two country called ‘Overflowing Cloud Nation’. It occupied a huge area that was comparable to that of the Summer Wind Ancient Nation! But 99% of its territory wasn’t suitable for creatures to live and reproduce. That was why it could be occupied by a tier-two nation.

“Sou.”

A violet-robed thin male suddenly appeared above it. He was like an emperor looking down at the vast wilderness.

“Brother High Heavens.” The thin male announced. His voice rumbled and resounded in this wilderness.

Fluctuations started forming in the surrounding wilderness.

“Hong long long~”

A massive piece of earth suddenly ‘erected’. One could see it only when he was at a sufficiently far distance… that this erected earth was actually a giant. His enormous upper half had crossed through even the cloud layer.

This giant opened his eyes. His eyes stared at that violet thin and small male.

“Southern Cloud?” The giant’s voice rumbled, “Why have you come to my Overflowing Cloud Nation?”

The violet-robed thin and small male was an avatar of Southern Cloud King.

“Brother High Heavens, sell me your secret treasure, ‘Devil Emperor Gown’.” Southern Cloud King said. This existence in front of him was truly secretive. Not many knew about him in the Realm Heart Great Land.

High Heavens God Master.

He was very famous during the first War of the Ancient Nations. Nevertheless, he had been heavily injured by Summer Wind Ancient Nation’s ‘Ancestor Fan’! Ever since, he disappeared, and rarely could traces of him be discovered.

One had to know that High Heavens God Master was a third level Cosmos God! Nevertheless, he lacked a suitable secret treasure. Reaching his level, to fight against those of a higher realm, one had to have a secret treasure, a treasure that was more formidable than top-graded secret treasures. But it was similarly hard to acquire one! Even though shadows of the High Heavens God Master covered the second War of the Ancient Nations and several important affairs in history, High Heavens God Master was unfortunate not to find a suitable secret treasure for himself.

At the level of High Heavens God Master, few things would attract his attention. One was a secret treasure that could significantly improve his strength, and the other was taking that final step to reach the rumored level ‘Yuan’ had reached!

“Devil Emperor Gown?” High Heavens God Master’s voice continued rumbling, “That fool actually offended me in the past and was eaten by me. His treasures remained on my side ever since. But don’t ever think of exchanging the Devil Emperor Gown with ordinary treasures.”

“State your price.” Southern Cloud King said.

“200 billion cosmos crystals or treasures that would move my heart.” The large body of High Heavens God Master sat there looking down at Southern Cloud King.

Southern Cloud King frowned.

200 billion?

The breakthrough of Xue Ying’s golden-robed avatar created a considerable disturbance during the absorption of World Energy. Southern Cloud King naturally knew it. He went to meet Xue Ying, finding out that he broke through in the ‘Mirage and Illusory Realm’ to the Cosmos God Realm! Even though he had stated publicly his wish to purchase Mirage and Illusory Realm secret treasures, and there was a ‘Heart Devil Scepter’ at the Cosmos God level, it’s a pity that this was of the ‘Desire’ branch in the Mirage and Illusory Realm Dao.

And Xue Ying broke through in the ‘Illusory Realm’ Lineage. Even if he got the Heart Devil Scepter, Xue Ying could still not unleash a higher level of strength.

Southern Cloud King had once spoken to Xue Ying: “I’ll find a more appropriate secret treasure for you.”

Even though Xue Ying felt the price was too high, Southern Cloud King cut in: “In the future, you can help me out. That’ll cover the price.”

“That is too high.” Southern Cloud King frowned.

Even though he was wealthy, 200 billion cosmos crystals would sufficiently hurt his bones.

This High Heavens God Master had indeed opened his lion’s mouth! Ordinarily, these treasures cost 80 to 100 billion cosmos crystals.

“Do you think I lack cosmos crystals?” High Heavens God Master indifferently answered, “Either you bring out treasures that could move my heart, or you will have to pay 200 billion cosmos crystals.”

…

Other than spreading the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion for the sake of earning cosmos crystals, Southern Cloud King did so to permeate the entire Realm Heart Great Land with his intelligence web. He also knew where the Cosmos God graded secret treasures for ‘Illusory Realm’ in the Mirage and Illusory Realm Dao existed. Because cultivating in this Dao was hard, there were few secret treasures. Only three such treasures existed in history, and the Devil Emperor Gown was the one which he had hope of getting it.

It was much difficult to acquire any of the two other two.

“This is really…” Southern Cloud King was unwilling to part with his cosmos crystals. In the end, he brought out another precious broken map and exchanged for the Devil Emperor Gown with High Heavens God Master.

“With the Devil Emperor Gown, he has the Five Phase Beads too. It seems I have finally found a true helper.” Southern Cloud King was still relatively joyful in his heart.
