Chapter 394
"Junior Brother, since they’ve already told the truth, why not spare their lives?"
The gray-robed man looked at the mangled remains below and sighed.
From their current altitude, falling unconsciously to the ground would render even Precelestial Realm martial artists no different from ordinary people.
There was no other outco but to fall to their deaths.
"Their souls were too weak. After being subjected to soul-searching, their spirits have completely collapsed, leaving them as re idiots. Living would only be a form of suffering.
I’m rely doing them a kindness by granting them relief."
The white-robed youth smiled faintly, his tone utterly devoid of emotion.
To him, it was no different from casually crushing a few ants; it was entirely insignificant.
"..."
The gray-robed man fell silent for a mont before ultimately saying nothing further.
He understood well his junior brother’s inherently ruthless disposition.
To cultivate to their current level, their willpower and determination were unshakable, not sothing that would change easily.
What’s more, his junior brother had been humiliated earlier. If it weren’t for his consideration of the Heavenly Dao of this world and the avoidance of excessive sin, his thods would likely have been even more brutal.
"Senior Brother, you’re as soft-hearted as ever. They’re just so native ants; why bother letting them weigh on your mind?
What’s truly interesting is what those ants ntioned earlier. You heard them too, didn’t you?"
The white-robed youth’s expression shifted to one of excitent. "This little world is apparently rich in mystic realms, and so of them have even recently awakened and opened!"
"I originally thought it was just a barren, insignificant little world, but to think it possesses such a unique structure, rich in mystic realms—this is a rare treasure of a small world."
The gray-robed man’s eyes also showed a trace of excitent.
Whether in a major world or a minor world, mystic realms were extraordinarily special.
The unique nature of their spaces often nurtured rare and exceptional items.
If so, then the value of this small world far exceeded his initial estimations.
"Senior Brother, should we first search for those so-called Four Great Secret Lands or head straight for the recently revived mystic realm?" the white-robed youth asked.
The gray-robed man pondered for a mont. "Based on what that person just said, those Four Great Secret Lands have long histories, clearly remnants of certain factions from a past Immortal Era in this world, surviving by hiding within the mystic realms.
Such mystic realms, having been cultivated over tens of thousands of years, are likely fortified to an extraordinary degree and not easily breached.
We’ve only just descended into this world and are not yet fully acclimated to its rules of heaven and earth.
Once we’ve completely adapted, it won’t be too late to seek out those Four Great Secret Lands."
"That makes sense." The white-robed youth nodded. "For mystic realms to endure for tens of thousands of years, they must be guarded by treasures of at least the level of spiritual artifacts or higher. Senior Brother, it seems we’re in for a great harvest this ti."
The white-robed youth’s eyes glead with fervor.
The value of a spiritual artifact was self-evident.
Even in a major world, such items were considered top-tier treasures.
Although he was a cultivator in the Golden Core Realm, he didn’t possess a single spiritual artifact. His finest treasure was rely a superior-grade magic artifact.
If he could acquire one or two spiritual artifacts in this small world, the gains would be imnse.
It would be a true leap in strength!
As the two laughed and chatted, their figures transford into two streaks of light, flying off into the distance.
From start to finish, they never spared a glance at the carnage in the Sacred City below.
It wasn’t until long after their figures disappeared that activity slowly resud in the deathly silent Sacred City.
Soon, the sound of weeping began to spread.
...
Unaware of the events in Zhongzhou, Lu Qing continued his days of leisurely cultivation, relishing in the steady growth of his power.
A few days later, Lin Zhirui arrived at his courtyard on the mountainside, his expression solemn.
"Lu Xiaolangjun, sothing major has happened in Zhongzhou."
"Sothing major? What is it?" Lu Qing was slightly taken aback.
"I received a ssage from my master. A few days ago, tribulation clouds appeared atop the Sacred Mountain. The First Holy Lord broke through his barriers, triggering his tribulation and ascending."
"The First Holy Lord underwent his tribulation?"
Lu Qing was sowhat surprised but not particularly shocked.
He had long anticipated that soone would undergo their tribulation soon. He simply hadn’t expected the first to succeed would be the First Holy Lord of the Sacred Mountain, rather than one of the hidden elders of the Four Great Secret Lands.
"Did the First Holy Lord succeed in his tribulation?"
"My master said the First Holy Lord safely endured the lightning tribulation and reached an entirely new level of cultivation.
But that’s not the main point. The crucial part is that right after he completed his tribulation, two mysterious individuals appeared.
One of them injured the First Holy Lord grievously with a single move, nearly capturing him.
Following that, the two mysterious individuals flew to the Sacred City and unleashed an enormous magical hand.
With just one attack, they left a handprint spanning hundreds of feet across in the Sacred City, killing thousands of its inhabitants."
"What did you say? Soone grievously injured the First Holy Lord, who had just undergone a lightning tribulation, with a single move?"
This ti, Lu Qing was truly stunned.
Given the First Holy Lord’s tribulation and cultivation, having ascended, he was undoubtedly a Golden Core cultivator.
Even if he was in a weakened state after the tribulation, he was still a bona fide Golden Core expert, leagues beyond a Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
To be severely injured by a single move—could the attacker be soone above the Golden Core Realm?
But with only five Heavenly Dao sounds resonating in this world, how could there already be soone beyond the Golden Core Realm?
"Indeed, this was relayed directly by the First Holy Lord to my master.
The Holy Lord also ntioned that the two mysterious individuals might be extraterrestrial visitors.
Their power is unfathomable, and my master and the others have been warned not to provoke them, lest it lead to disaster!"
"Extraterrestrial visitors!"
Lu Qing was even more astounded.
Within the Li Huo Cauldron, “Yan” also stirred in agitation.
"My master said this is rely the First Holy Lord’s speculation. Whether it’s true or not remains to be verified.
However, my master has instructed us, the wandering disciples of the Tianji Tower, to exercise extre caution and avoid antagonizing those two mysterious individuals.
Other reports indicate that after leaving the Sacred City, the two mysterious individuals appeared in several contested blessed lands in Zhongzhou.
With overwhelming power, they annihilated several factions and seized control of those blessed lands completely."
"..."
The news Lin Zhirui brought was so astonishing that even Lu Qing needed over ten breaths to fully calm himself.
He exhaled deeply and smiled. "I understand. Such an important matter—thank you, Zhirui, for bringing it to my attention."
The flow of information in Cang County was far too limited.
Even the Wei family had only a superficial understanding of events in Zhongzhou.
Without Lin Zhirui, it might have taken much longer for Lu Qing to learn about this.
"No need for thanks. But Lu Xiaolangjun, in your opinion, are those two mysterious individuals really extraterrestrial visitors?"
To be honest, when Lin Zhirui first received his master’s ssage, he was even more shaken than Lu Qing.
He was particularly eager to know the origins of the mysterious individuals capable of defeating the First Holy Lord.
