“Oh, how is the strength of God Monarch Flying Snow? Is it at the peak stage of God Monarch?” Imperial Wind High Mountain asked.

He did not care about the internal struggle of organizations within High Mountain City. As long as the city remained stable, it was a minor affair for assassinations to be carried out in the dark. Furthermore, Imperial Wind High Mountain believed that the ‘internal struggle’ would be a more optimal way of training experts out. If the entire High Mountain City remained peaceful, the number of experts emerging would be greatly reduced too.

This was something he did not wish to see.

The more experts there were, the better! They were ultimately his subordinates! What he cared most was those at the ‘peak stage God Monarch’ level. Because given sufficient experts at this level, ten of them could possibly fight against an ‘early stage God Emperor’. This was also the reason why peak stage God Monarchs like ‘Bat Mountain Master’ had great power within High Mountain City. Imperial Wind High Mountain was relatively lenient on them.

‘Ascendants do not have any Chaotic Origin Ancestral God bloodlines. They painstakingly cultivated to where they currently are. Hence, they are usually stronger by an entire level as compared to those at the same level. If it was a peak stage God Monarch Ascendant, he might be able to fight against an early stage God Emperor. This expert would definitely be a huge support should Old Thief Devil Heart come.’ Imperial Wind High Mountain thought.

“He hasn’t reached the peak stage God Monarch.” Imperial Wind Lei shook his head, “Housekeeper Yun once used the Jade Light God Eye to examine him.”

Imperial Wind High Mountain turned to Housekeeper Yun.

Housekeeper Yun respectfully explained: “Master, I once met a heavily injured God Monarch Flying Snow on the journey back home with Third Lady in the Great Wilderness. At that time, I was able to execute the Jade Light God Eye and examine his foundation. That was how I discovered he has not Chaotic Origin Ancestral God bloodline, and is definitely an Ascendant! Furthermore, he doesn’t seem to have condensed his God Heart yet. Instead, he refined his fleshy body to a degree that reaches the early stage God Monarch level. Furthermore, his injuries seem to be hard to eradicate. But after that, he said it himself that he was originally at the middle stage God Monarch level! It was only because of his injuries that he suffered a drop in strength. This matter happened more than two months ago. Even though the period is short, he could easily eradicate the three God Monarchs under Bat Mountain, which I reckon that he should have regained his strength during the past two months.”

“It is normal for him to eradicate three God Monarchs, two at the early stage God Monarch level and one at the middle stage God Monarch. Furthermore, that middle stage God Monarch has no magical ability as well.” Imperial Wind Lei added.

“Oh.” Imperial Wind High Mountain was somewhat disappointed. He nodded, “An Ascendant at the middle stage God Monarch level could fight against those at a higher level. It is not surprising for him to kill three weaker God Monarchs. Mn, just pay more attention to this matter will do!”

Even though he was disappointed.

But a middle stage God Monarch Ascendant was comparable to a ‘peak stage God Monarch’ native from the Divine Realm. His strength would most likely be comparable to Bat Mountain Master, and it could be said that he had gained an additional Great General. It’s a pity that he looked most forward to a ‘peak stage God Monarch Ascendant’.

“Yes, father. I’ll pay close attention to it.” Imperial Wind Lei acknowledged.

But regardless of who it was, Imperial Wind High Mountain or Imperial Wind Lei, they did not place much importance on this matter. With the threat of ‘master of Devil Heart Cult’ looming close, they did not have time to wait for a ‘middle stage God Monarch Ascendant’ to grow. Furthermore, even if a ‘peak stage God Monarch Ascendant’ came, the help he could provide would be limited against the master of the Devil Heart Cult.

‘The Ninth Prince from the Eastern Wood City.’ Imperial Wind High Mountain looked forward to it. He currently placed all hopes of survival on other organizations. It did not feel good for him to sacrifice his daughter for this.

But he had no choice.

The struggle within the Divine Realm was cruel. Many organizations had fallen, and Imperial Wind High Mountain was not willing for his ‘Imperial Wind Clan’ to become the next. Hence, he was willing to pay all prices to ensure the survival of his clan.

“Tutor Flying Snow.”

“Tutor Flying Snow, please.”

Within the High Mountain City Imperial Wind Clan, after Xue YIng arrived, he met quite a few personal guards of the Imperial WInd Clan. These personal guards were incredibly passionate to him. After all, their sources of information were relatively quick. Furthermore, God Monarchs were considered experts in the High Mountain City, and for him to kill three others, that was something that could not be hidden. At least the personal guards of the Imperial Wind Clan knew about ‘Bat Mountain’ suffering from a huge loss under this God Monarch Flying Snow! And all of them were not willing to slight this God Monarch Flying Snow at all. His identity as an ‘Ascendant’ was something many other feared.

Even though there were few Ascendants, each and every one of them were extraordinary.

Xue Ying chuckled: “Eradicating those three insects from Bat Mountain has indeed boosted my reputation significantly.”

He advanced forward without being stopped.

Soon, he arrived at the Scripture Library of the Imperial Wind Clan.

“Tutor Flying Snow.” There were naturally protectors within the Scripture Library. These protectors welcomed Xue Ying with great passion.

“I should be qualified to select a cultivation scripture to peruse right?” Xue Ying smiled.

“Tutor Flying Snow, being a Cultivation Tutor, you are naturally qualified. But you can only select one scripture from the first to third level in the Scripture Library.” The protector enthusiastically explained. Cultivation Tutors were indeed lofty positions with no practical obligations. But only those with some special strength or abilities could be qualified to become one.

Xue Ying then entered the Scripture Library.

The Scripture Library had six levels in total.

And Xue Ying was free to select any scripture from the first three levels.

He began casually flipping through those books. Currently, these scriptures were only detailed with basic introduction on the first page. The other pages were all empty!

…

When Xue Ying came to select the scriptures, the news about him arriving in the Imperial Wind Clan rapidly spread too. If one said that the intimidation of the name ‘God Monarch Flying Snow’ was ordinary previously, ever since the loss suffered by Bat Mountain in the hands of Xue Ying, ‘God Monarch Flying Snow’ had immediately become a famous character in the entire High Mountain City. Those with slightly better sources of information would understand that this God Monarch Flying Snow could possibly become an expert ranking in the top ten within High Mountain City.

Even if he could not enter, the gap in strength would not be huge either.

Otherwise, why would those three God Monarchs be wiped out so easily? And why did

‘Bat Mountain Master’ tolerate his subordinates being killed until now?

“Quick quick quick, let’s go have a look!”

“Previously, I wanted to meet God Monarch Flying Snow, yet it’s a pity that he has always been in closed-door cultivation, and the few of us dare not disturb him. This is a good time for us to interact with him.”

“Wah, hurry up and look! Bat Mountain Master actually came.”

“It is Bat Mountain Master!”

Many others saw an ugly triangular-headed old man arriving at the Imperial Wind Clan’s clans-ground. He was also one of the few Cultivation Tutors in the Imperial Wind Clan, and was naturally not hindered.

“Interesting.”

“Slightly after God Monarch Flying Snow appeared, Bat Mountain Master came.”

“It might even be possible for a huge battle to occur.”

…

Even though it was noisy outside, Xue Ying continued flipping through the scriptures patiently. To him, competition was a minor thing. Researching into the laws of this world was more important to him! He vaguely understood the meaning portrayed by Yuan from his words of ‘tempering in different civilizations’, ‘grasping that slight bit of eternal Dao’ and ‘jumping out of the restrictions faced by different civilizations to become a magnificent Chaotic Origin Lifeform’.

The Eternal Dao.

It was like the Dao of Cosmos Gods that could be used in different Origin Worlds.

And clearly, this world that he entered was not an Origin World. Hence, the Dao of a Cosmos God could not be used here. Then whose Dao could be used? When Xue Ying thought about how this world was created by three Chaotic Origin Ancestral Gods, he faintly guessed–––’Dao at the Chaotic Origin level’ could be used!

‘Tempering myself in different civilizations will allow me to give up on many simple and crude profound mysteries. What is left behind are those that could be used in different civilizations. That is true eternity. That is the foundation to becoming a Chaotic Origin Lifeform.’ Xue Ying had this conjecture.

No matter what.

He should first recover his peak strength that he once reached in the Realm Heart Great Land before speaking about anything else.

And it was too slow to rely on comprehending it himself! Naturally, absorbing the essence of experts of this world would be much faster.

‘Even though the natives of this Divine Realm cultivates in their bloodlines, they are clearly more proficient in many other cultivation techniques. They could even cultivate out a magical ability?’ Xue Ying thought, ‘The Death Destruction Clan and Natives of Broken Teeth Mountain Range similarly had Chaotic Origin bloodlines, but those bloodlines came from two fallen Chaotic Origin Experts. The cultivation techniques they had were comprehended by themselves, unlike this Divine Realm where the natives were left behind and reproduced from the bloodline of the three Chaotic Origin Ancestral Gods… Those three Chaotic Origin Ancestral Gods should have left behind some guidance for their descendents right?’

‘But ultimately, bloodline is fundamental for them. Their comprehensions of the Dao are limited.’

‘What I need are scriptures of Ascendants.’

Xue Ying thought.

He had already discovered two scriptures of Ascendants, though it’s a pity they were not of the Dao of Void!

Ascendants did not have any Chaotic Origin bloodline.

They had all kinds of different ways to cultivate. But similarly, they could strengthen themselves by absorbing energy from the world. Xue Ying even felt that this was not any weaker than the ‘laws and profound mysteries lineage’. After all, these different routes would lead to the same destination. For instance, ‘Hex Cultivation’ or ‘Ancient Cultivation’ would eventually allow the cultivator to grasp a final realm ‘Dao’.

It was likewise for the majority of these Ascendants too! Only a few Ascendants could absorb the bloodlines from the natives of the Divine Realm to strengthen themselves. ZBut this was considered a forbidden technique in the Divine Realm! And Xue Ying only found out about this by scouring through the memories of others.

‘There are indeed many scriptures collected by the High Mountain City Imperial Wind Clan. They have several dozen scriptures for Ascendants, yet it’s a pity that only two are for the Dao of Void. One is for the God General Level while the other for the God Monarch level.’ Xue Ying picked up a deep green book. This book was written with the name of the cultivation technique–––<Sky-Rending Void Sword Technique>.

‘No matter what, it is great that I could find something I could use.’ Xue Ying grinned. Any techniques that could reach the God Monarch Realm, judging by his hometown cultivator level––that would be a technique at the final realm level.

Only in the Divine Realm where cultivators cultivated the Chaotic Origin Ancestral God bloodlines would look down on Ascendant scriptures that were incredibly hard to cultivate and were only for God Monarchs. That was why this scripture was placed on the third level.

“Tutor Flying Snow, have you chosen?” A protector asked when he saw Xue Ying bring out a deep green book.

“Yes, this book will do.” Xue Ying passed it over.

The protector took it over and said: “Please wait, Tutor Flying Snow, I’ll go find the original copy. Tutor Flying Snow can only peruse through the book within the Scripture Library.”

“I understand.” Xue Ying nodded. He was looking forward to it. This would be the scripture that opens up the curtain of this world, greatly saving him a lot of time and effort.
