"Ling Xudu seems to have proven himself, already rising to the realm of Intercepting Dao," Chen Haichao fell silent for a mont and then sighed, "Forget it, you should go see for yourself. He’s in the Hall of Rebirth."
"Ah? What is Ling Junior Brother doing in the Hall of Rebirth?" Xue Lingzi’s face showed confusion, but Chen Haichao did not reply; instead, he waved his hand, signaling for Xue Lingzi to leave.
Pushing open the dust-covered doors, Xue Lingzi walked into the Hall of Rebirth with a puzzled look.
Inside the palace, in a fish tank-like transparent crystal vessel, a head with half of its scalp peeled away and its brain faintly visible bobbed in the fluid, occasionally emitting painful cries.
This head bore a vague resemblance to Ling Xudu.
That day he had leaped, attempting to rge with and occupy the corpse of a powerful mber of the ancient demon royal family, the Moroke. Yet even with hatred as heavy as mountains, will as strong as iron, and the assistance of Chen Haichao’s essence blood, the re twenty-five percent chance of success was still too low.
Ascending to the heavens in a single step is easier said than done.
Had it not been for Chen Haichao’s protection at his side, acting in ti, Ling Xudu might have preserved just his life, but sadly he ended up as nothing more than a brain in a vat.
"You… you’re Senior Brother Xue Lingzi?" Ling Haichao within the crystal vat, bubbling in the dark fluid, suddenly had his eyes dilate, almost as if they would pop out of their sockets, flashing a look of panic and joy.
"Ling Junior Brother, you..." Seeing the once handso and spirited Ling Junior Brother reduced to this inhuman, ghostly state, the youth in bloodied clothes felt great sorrow.
Half an hour later.
Xue Lingzi’s knuckles were white as he spoke with resentnt, "Junior Brother, rest assured, I have avenged your grievance."
"With my current cultivation, killing that person is as easy as slaughtering a chicken," he said.
"If that person participates in the Great Qin Legal Assembly, that would be even better. I will definitely record the event with the Liuying Jade and etch those images for you to slowly enjoy and play with," said Xue Lingzi.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
"Why be so polite with , your brother!"
In the grand hall, the two brothers exchanged a knowing smile, their understanding of each other going unspoken.

Stars stretch over wide fields, the moon surges in the great river’s flow.
Yi Chen, leading Han Xinyue, raced across the wilderness, the strong breeze they created pressing the surrounding grass flat, with even so of the tough roots of weeds snapping under the force.
This was the consequence of confronting his staunch ntor, Yi Chengzi.
As the Daoist passes, only the subdued grass remains!
Under the moonlight, Yi Chen’s expression was deep, his body instinctively sensing danger and avoiding it, crossing over treacherous rivers as if on autopilot. At this mont, his consciousness had already retreated deep within his body.
After the battle with the Purple Crystal Demi-human, Yi Chen finally completed the deduction of the technique "Heavenly Scourge High Above," but since it was a new creation, it was still sowhat rough and not yet smooth. He took the opportunity while traveling to refine it further.
As ti trickled by, it wasn’t until the first rays of dawn illuminated his vision that his eyelids twitched and his main consciousness regained control of his body.
"This altercation with the Purple Crystal Demi-human was perilous, yet the gains were substantial. Having realized the ’Heavenly Scourge High Above’ technique, cultivators at the later stages of the Intercepting Dao realm are now as much of a threat to as re chickens and dogs," Yi Chen thought.

"However, there is now a matter that warrants consideration: who exactly is this ’Asna’ that the demi-human spoke of, and what about the inexplicable anomaly that occurred so days ago?" Yi Chen mused, a hint of worry appearing in his eyes. He hadn’t forgotten about that powerful being called Bo Xun from the Extinction Ruins.
Just a part of his flesh possessed such might, giving rise to figures like the Black Lotus Patriarch.
Yi Chen had a premonition that a vast net was slowly descending upon the Human Realm, and even the Five Realms, and in the future, everyone would have to make a choice.
Yet there hadn’t been any powerful individuals who transcended the Dao Mastery Realm within the Five Realms for many years. The Armant Master was recorded as the last one.
"Even if it costs , I must obtain the ’Heaven and Earth Divine Gate Qi’ this ti," he resolved.
"The weak can only wait for judgnt, while only the strong can control their own destiny."
With the rising sun bathing him, Yi Chen’s expression was resolute. The golden sunlight cast him in a divine-like appearance, a strong aura emanating from him, and Han Xinyue riding the loyal leopard behind him was so srized that for a mont she beca distracted.
Three days later, a majestic mountain stood tall upon the earth.
This mountain was lush and ancient, towering into the sky. The setting sun stained the clouds at the horizon a blazing red. At the foot of the mountain, roads crisscrossed, chickens clucked, and dogs barked. n and won worked, tilling and planting, all industrious as if driven by water buffaloes and horses. Cultivators mixed and toiled among the common people.
Since a great change thousands of years ago, the Mo Family had split into two branches. One lineage pledged allegiance to the Qin court, known as Qin Mo. The Mo Family figure of that era, Ju Zi, believed worldly affairs and sect fights were troubling and destructive, compounded by the incessant warfare of the Seven States.
Seeking change and innovation, Ju Zi traveled across the lands of the Seven States of the Eastern Continent and ultimately chose to support the most inconspicuous Qin State of the ti, helping that generation’s Qin king to sweep across and unite the land, ending the protracted state of war among the Seven States.
Ju Zi believed he had compromised due to a realistic assessnt of the situation, choosing the lesser of two evils. However, his actions were highly controversial among the Mo Family’s new and old mbers, who believed Ju Zi had betrayed the Mo Family’s ideals,
Thus, certain disciples of the Mo Family who did not approve of Ju Zi’s approach moved to Yun Mo Mountain to continue pursuing their ideals.
The cultivators of Yun Mo Mountain later ca to be known as the Yun Mo lineage, and over thousands of years, they beca increasingly vulnerable. If not for Qin Mo’s consideration of their common origins and their occasional covert assistance, the great Yun Mo Mountain likely would have changed its na several tis over.
