Chapter 760: Chapter 303: Preparation
Stepping into the deserted Wilderness Temple, the first thing that catches the eye is the statue of the Ancestor of the Desolate. Nearly three zhang tall, with long hair cascading down to the waist, and exuding a wild beauty that envelops the entire being.
He stands proudly at the center of the temple, with profound eyes filled with an indescribable ferocity; his hair stands on end as if in anger, an imposing presence dominating all under heaven!
“Such a majestic Heavenly Dao Treasure!” Li Qingming couldn’t help but clap in admiration. Others may not recognize this as a Heavenly Dao Treasure, but he is different. Owning a Treasure Heavenly Saber himself, he is intimately familiar with the aura of a Heavenly Dao Treasure.
Following closely behind Li Qingming, the old Ancestor of the Desolate heard this and looked slightly startled, saying, “Heavenly Dao Treasure? Fellow Daoist, what is this Heavenly Dao Treasure?”
This question did stump Li Qingming for a mont. After pondering for a while, he said, “Generally speaking, in the vast expanse of the Universe Chaos Cosmos, the top magic treasures are usually classified as Acquired Spiritual Treasures, Acquired Treasures, Innate Spiritual Treasures, and Innate Treasures. But above them, there exists a mysterious entity, which is the Heavenly Dao Treasure! Its power is far beyond that of Innate Treasures. Through it, one can comprehend the Heavenly Dao more easily and even fight across levels!”
“Ancestor, we can attest to this!” said Old Clan Chief Man Chu from behind: “Just now, within the Array, Fellow Daoist Xu Hu relied on a long knife, with the cultivation of the Late Sub-Saint stage, to slaughter a fierce beast of the Saint Realm!”
“Really?” The Ancestor of the Desolate looked even more bemused, scratching his head and saying, “Now that you ntion it, it does seem so! Back in the day, I ca dangerously close to death, not only did my Power of Primordial Spirit left only one percent, but my Three Souls and Seven Spirits were also heavily damaged, nearly causing my soul to scatter! But after just half a Yanji, my soul is not only fully repaired, but it has also beco firr. Fellow Daoist, take a look!”
As he spoke, the body of the Ancestor of the Desolate froze, and a transparent Primordial Spirit erged from his body, floating into the roughly three-zhang-tall statue.
Monts later, accompanied by a faint sound, a figure outlined entirely in purple silken threads walked out from within the Barbaric God Statue. His presence was steady, and with every movent, he seed to embody the ultimate principles of the Heavenly Dao, leaving no doubt of his strength.
Li Qingming raised his right hand, with his index and middle finger exuding a greenish radiance, and he wiped across his brow.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst forth from his brow, with an upside-down eye appearing there. This eye was devoid of any emotional fluctuations, extrely indifferent.
All who were present felt a mountainous pressure descending upon their hearts, unable to muster a single thought of resistance.
Li Qingming’s expression turned extrely solemn as he coldly stared at the purple soul, saying, “Fellow Daoist, do not resist!”
The soul of the Ancestor of the Desolate wavered and spoke, “Fellow Daoist, please cast your spell!”
Upon hearing this, Li Qingming nodded slightly, and with a fierce poke at his brow, he murmured softly, “Heavenly Punishnt appears, Divine Soul erges!”
With a ‘swoosh’, a beam of golden light burst forth from the eye on Li Qingming’s brow, shining directly upon the soul of the Ancestor of the Desolate, scanning back and forth like an electronic eye.
…
Everyone around watched in astonishnt, not understanding what Li Qingming was doing.
“Good heavens, what kind of magic is this Fellow Daoist using, to wield such pressure that dominates the heavens, unparalleled and tyrannical!” Old Clan Chief Man Chu sat down on the Jade Ground of the great hall, his face filled with horror.
Li Qingquan smiled and helped Man Chu up, saying, “My elder brother is a prodigy that can be called a freak of nature. When he was facing the Transformation Heavenly Tribulation on Mount Buzhou, the Great Dao brought down Heavenly Punishnt. My brother incredibly overca the Heavenly Punishnt, and in the end, he even devoured that Eye of Heavenly Punishnt. The eye he is using now is that very Heavenly Punishnt Divine Eye. Through it, one can see many things that we ordinary cultivators cannot!”
“To withstand Heavenly Punishnt and devour the Eye of Heavenly Punishnt!”
Whether it be Man Chu or Long Xuhu and the others, all were stunned. Although they knew Li Qingming’s cultivation was incredibly high and his talent extraordinary, they never imagined he could be such a phenonon.
Heavenly Punishnt! Goodness, he dared to consu Heavenly Punishnt! A true freak of nature!
Of course, Li Qingming heard all this, but he was more interested in the soul of the Ancestor of the Desolate than this trivial matter.
After a while, he withdrew the spell, pondered for a mont, and said, “Fellow Daoist, your soul is truly, unexpectedly powerful! If you hadn’t told us, I would have never believed you were once on the brink of soul disintegration!”
“Then, is it possible to reconstruct a physical body?” The Ancestor of the Desolate asked eagerly. He was nearly bursting with excitent – after so many years, today his body might be remade; how could he not be thrilled?
“Of course, no doubt!” Li Qingming could see the eagerness in the Ancestor of the Desolate and nodded slightly, continuing, “However, Fellow Daoist, there is sothing I must tell you first!”
Seeing Li Qingming’s expression turn serious, the Ancestor of the Desolate’s heart skipped a beat, saying, “Please speak, Fellow Daoist!”
“After your body is reconstructed, there will be a certain period of adaptation during which you will only be able to exert about eighty percent of your total strength. As for how long this period will last, I have no idea!” Li Qingming dropped this issue, reasoning that it was better to inform him now than wait for him to find out later.
Hearing this, the Ancestor of the Desolate let out a sigh of relief and said, “It doesn’t matter. Even if only fifty percent of my strength remains, I am confident that I can recover it all!”
“Good!” Li Qingming appreciated the mindset of the Ancestor of the Desolate. “Then let’s get started now!”
“Eh? Fellow Daoist Li, don’t you need so preparation?” Before the Ancestor of the Desolate could speak, Man Chu jumped in with his question.
“This remark reminds !” Li Qingming turned his head to glance at Man Chu and said, “What is the highest cultivation realm of the people in your clan? Where are they all?”
Although puzzled about why Li Qingming would ask this question, Man Chu still earnestly replied, “The one with the highest cultivation in our clan is Niu Wazi. Besides him, the highest cultivators in the entire Barbaric World are the Barbarian Masters of the Barbarian Master Hall!”
“Oh?” Li Qingming curiously inquired, “Barbarian Master Hall? Why haven’t I seen them during this fierce beast invasion?”
Man Chu scratched his hoary hair and said, “The Barbarian Master Hall is not here, but at the edge of the Barbaric World. Their task is to protect the Barbaric World from invasion by other races. The beast tide ca too suddenly, and it was too late to call them back!”
“Oh! So how long would it take to summon them now?” Li Qingming frowned slightly and asked.
“They should be able to return in about half a day!” Standing behind Man Chu, Man Qian intervened, “Within the Barbaric World, every life planet has a teleportation array set up. As soon as the beast tide started, I sent out a ssage summoning the Barbarian Masters from the Barbarian Master Hall to return. Judging by ti, by sunrise tomorrow, they will be back!”
“Alright, let’s wait another half day then!” Li Qingming nodded and unceremoniously sat down on the ground, smiling at the Ancestor of the Desolate beside him, “Fellow Daoist, please have a seat. It’s only half a day; it will pass quickly!”
The Ancestor of the Desolate’s face sported a smile worse than crying, and he said, “Fellow Daoist, why wait for them? Let’s get started right away!”
Li Qingming gave a mysterious smile and said, “When tomorrow cos, Fellow Daoist, you will understand!”
The night passed without conversation.
The next day, as the Great Sun rose once again in the Heavenly Vault, like the first ray of light from the birth of the universe, it penetrated Heaven and Earth, shone upon All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, and cut through the entire sky of the Barbaric Sacred Star.
Then, with a “boom” that shook the heavens, the entire Barbaric Sacred Star trembled.
Everyone who was ditating in the Wilderness Temple woke up, looking at each other with so confusion.
“What’s going on? Weren’t all the fierce beasts that exceeded the Quasi-Saint realm eradicated? Even if a few are left, they’re just small fry, so who is attacking the planet’s protective arrays?” Man Niu vaulted up from the ground and began yelling in a flurry.
Old Clan Chief Man Chu furrowed his brow and said, “Let’s go and see what’s going on?”
Li Qingming and the others found this quite strange and followed out as well.
“Ao wu…”
As soon as they left the protective shield area, they heard a loud roar. The mountains trembled, and an enormous creature flew across the sky, casting a huge shadow on the ground.
Li Qingming looked carefully and realized that it was a fierce beast resembling a Canglong, with densely packed scales, each of its wings large enough to cover a mountain, to destroy a city.
“Damn it, weren’t there supposed to be no more fierce beasts? What the hell is this? Its aura is almost like that of a Saint, have the fierce beasts of this world gone rampant?” Long Xuhu’s jaw almost dropped as he opened his mouth wide in astonishnt at the sky-obscuring and overwhelmingly ferocious beast, cursing while jumping up and down.
“What a terrifying aura, why do I feel that this creature is stronger than the fierce beasts we encountered yesterday?” Yang Jian’s ears twitched, and an inexplicable sense of excitent rose in his heart.
Li Qingquan stood with his arms behind his back, staring blankly at the sky. He sensed an aura from this fierce beast that was similar to that of the Barbaric World; it seed to be different from yesterday’s fierce beasts.
Before they could snap out of it, a rumbling sound ca from the northwest, followed by a sky full of dust and a rich scent of the Water elent Rule.
“What’s happening? Huh, the Holy Beast Xuanwu!” Li Qingquan was quite surprised. From the northwest, a terrifying Xuanwu Sacred Beast was coming. It had a dragon head and a black shell on its back, on which coiled a giant black snake, tens of ters thick. The snake’s eyes were cold, and as its tongue flicked in and out, it carried a daunting aura.
“The Xuanwu Sacred Beast!” Shakyamuni looked solemn and said, “The Xuanwu clan of the Primordial Land has long been hidden and seldom erges. I did not expect to encounter one here; fate truly plays with us!” (To be continued.
