Shadow Hack

Jue Qingzi’s complexion turned deathly pale after he heard Li Yunmu’s words. In his heart, he was berating himself for running off to the cliff to meddle in other people’s affairs.

When the female taoist behind him thought about dying, her heart filled with grief and indignation. But it was good that the sect’s safety could be maintained with the sacrifice of a few lives.

When Li Yunmu finished speaking though, her face that still had baby fat became somewhat ugly as she thought about all sorts of methods used for torturing people.

After a moment of silence, she shouted loudly to Li Yunmu, “I will speak! I will speak! Even if senior apprentice brother doesn’t speak, I will speak. Lord, you cannot torture me!”

“…” Li Yunmu.

“…” Jue Qingzi.

“You are really a… tactful person!”

Li Yunmu originally wanted to use the words ‘timid and cowardly’, but he stopped himself midway and changed them with words which wouldn’t hurt others.

Jue Qingzi looked at the female taoist and regretfully sighed. He then turned to Li Yunmu and slowly said, “What does lord want to know? I will explain as much as I can.”

Li Yunmu glanced at Jue Qingzi as well as the girl, then said with a smile, “Where were you all preparing to go just now?”

“We were going to the ruins to attend the trials. People like us come to the night pearl’s small world through the Alliance in order to participate in the trials. There are remnants of gods in the ruins, including their godhood, which can allow us to comprehend the laws of a great dao,” the young girl explained excitedly.

Remnants of gods? Godhood?

A small world was a transformed world fragment, and the night pearl was a small world refined by the alliance. Since it was from beyond the heavens, their path of cultivation was different, so where did the remnants of gods come from? And they even had hiding godhood among them. Even if in the Origin World there were countless gods, there were no so-called remnants of gods, and godhood was very rare.

Previously, gods required godhood to advance to god realm, but power of belief came after that and created a shortcut, which made godhood no longer necessary to become a god.

As luck would have it, just when Li Yunmu arrived, he ran into the talkative Jue Qingzi and a female taoist afraid of torture. The so-called god remnants were also open, so it was quite likely that the area around them would be very lively.

As for the outside world, the battle between ancient gods wouldn’t conclude so quickly. He still had quite a bit of time to understand beyond the heavens from Jue Qingzi.

“Since this is the case, then I will follow you to take a trip to the god’s remnants.”

After saying that, Li Yunmu’s figure flickered, and he saw down on the back of a red-crowned crane, alongside Jue Qingzi. The man sighed again, then patted his red-crowned crane to start flying.

While they were rushing to the god’s remnants, Li Yunmu enquired about the matters of beyond the heavens. He asked about the sects, the Alliance, and even the distribution of power. Jue Qingzi told him everything without trying to hide anything. Due to that, apart from some secrets, Li Yunmu also gained a rough understanding of the structure of beyond the heavens.

Previously he had only known about some things from the mouth of yin son of heaven, but after Jue QIngzi explained things to him, he could be considered to have learned quite a lot.

Beyond the heavens weren’t called beyond the heavens by its own people. Apparently it was only a name given by the system. Jue Qingzi’s world was also a part of the universe, but according to him, it was known as Goumang Real World.

Regardless of whether it was the Origin World or the Goumang Real World, both of them were worlds among the ten thousand worlds. Or perhaps it would be better to say that they were one of the previous ten thousand worlds.

In the ancient times, when the ten thousand worlds were flourishing, every world had a ruler who was known as world master. The world master’s status was similar to that of the master of a heavenly world in their heavenly world. They were the creator gods.

Afterwards, the ten thousand worlds encountered a disaster, and the majority of the worlds perished or died. The remaining worlds scattered and began to drift in the void. They had no contact between them until ten thousand years ago, the Origin World and Goumang Real World encountered each other while floating and began to battle for territory.

In that year, the emperor monarchs forming the main part of offensive force were the peak power in the Goumang Real World. Each emperor monarch possessed the strength of Great Principal Golden Immortal, which was equivalent to master god in the Origin World. However, the majority of emperor monarchs of Goumang Real World perished. Only a few of them advanced to quasi sage realm, which was equivalent to half true god.

As for the Alliance, it was came to be when the small powers in the Goumang Real World united. During ordinary times, the small powers like sects acted independently, but if something changed, the Alliance would pick out a small number of people from the factions of the five quasi sages.

Jue Qingzi’s Profound Sword Pavilion was one of the members of the Alliance.

Jue Qingzi had come on the trip in order to fight for godhood and to comprehend the laws of great dao. After that, he could pass the tribulation and become an immortal.

The young girl and the two behind her had come to broaden their horizons. The young girl was the daughter of Profound Sword Sect’s sect master, and her name was Yan Wanqiu, while the twins behind her were Tong Dongdong and Dong Tongtong.

While the red-crowned cranes flew through the sky, a sea of clouds floated under them, and wisps of red clouds appeared in the western direction, which created quite a celestial scenery.

When Li Yunmu heard the name of the twins, he couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “These two names are really easy to remember and also quite novel. Oh right, brother, since you have already dispelled a part of my doubts, you can help me dispel the rest of them too.”

“The rest too?” Jue Qingzi asked with a frown. He had already told Li Yunmu all about beyond the heavens, so what other doubt could he still have?

“I have a good understanding about the strength of Goumang Real World now, and the two of us have also become good friends. So, since we are good friends, can you tell me about the cultivation system of your Goumang Real World?”

Before Li Yunmu could even finish speaking, Jue Qingzi’s expression changed, and a formidable power erupted from his body. That power was hidden in his body like a bomb, and the moment it was ignited, his body would destroy itself while his soul would scatter.

“Brother, you shouldn’t think that just because you are a Great Principal Golden Immortal, I will surrender and tell everything about beyond the heavens to you. Even if I am kind-hearted and wouldn’t attack the people of the Origin World, I’m not a traitor. If you try to force the cultivation methods of Goumang Origin World out of me, I will detonate my yuanying!”

Li Yunmu looked at the determined Jue Qingzi with a bit of surprise. He hadn’t thought that if he asked Jue Qingzi about the cultivation system of beyond the heavens, Yue Qingzi would react like this.

It seemed like he had underestimated Jue Qingzi previously. However, he really needed the cultivation method of Goumang Real World. After all, if he had it, the system in his brain could analyze it and find hidden flaws.

It could be said that as long as he got his hands on the cultivation system, the threat posed by Goumang Real World would greatly decrease.

A chicken leg appeared out of nowhere in the hands of Yan Wanqiu flying behind him, and she threw it in her mouth while looking at Jue Qingzi with eyes wide with surprise.

“I hadn’t expected that senior apprentice brother would show such courage at this time. It truly caught me off guard.”

Jue Qingzi’s expression changed, and he said with a smile, “That is only natural. What kind of character do you think your elder brother has?”

Yan Wanqiu rolled her large eyes and said, “What use is your courage? Aren’t you still bullied by those who are stronger than you? It has been so long since we came to this small world, but you still haven’t managed to snatch even one godhood. No, what’s this talk about snatching, we haven’t even seen one!”
