Chapter 1113: Chapter 382: Renowned Throughout the Universe (Four-in-One Chapter, 14,000 Words)

Feng Gui: "That Celestial Master ascending to the Ninth Heavenly Layer realm stands apart from others."

Hu Hengyuan remained silent.

Zhang Teng, Fang Jingsheng, Chu Xiuyuan, Ye Yan, Ye Moquan, all renowned powerhouses in the mortal world.

Yet they all fell at the hands of one person.

This outcome was truly shocking and fearful.

If it were Empress Zhang Wantong in Yunzhou with such means, or if masters from the Celestial Master Mansion emerged, this outcome wouldn’t be surprising.

But it was only Celestial Master Lei Chongyun?

"Will the Celestial Master Mansion replace the Great Tang?" Hu Hengyuan looked north.

Feng Gui: "Given Celestial Master Lei’s previous conflicts with the Mortal Tao Country and the likes of Huang Xuanpu, it seems unlikely that there’s a desire for the Celestial Master Mansion to completely dominate the Divine Land."

Hu Hengyuan: "Perhaps Celestial Master Lei does not have such thoughts, but in the future, within the Great Tang territories, if the Imperial Capital’s edict and the Celestial Master Mansion’s decree conflict, whom will people listen to?"

Feng Gui: "Let’s wait and see for a bit longer."

Hu Hengyuan nodded silently.

The Southern Wilderness does not currently fall under the Tang Imperial Dynasty’s domain.

However, the next actions of the Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Celestial Master Mansion will similarly affect the Southern Wilderness...

"Just received news, Li Tianqing has slain the Nine-winged Golden Centipede." Feng Gui said.

With Lei Jun’s flamboyant battle achievements preceding, Li Tianqing’s slaying of the Ninth Heavenly Layer Great Demon, the Nine-winged Golden Centipede, does not seem as shocking.

However, to Hu Hengyuan, this matter is more closely related as he is in the Southern Wilderness.

Li Tianqing, too, has just reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer realm.

Then engaged in a frontal battle with a Great Demon equivalent to a Ninth Heavenly Layer human cultivator.

Such accomplishments are remarkable at any other time.

Especially since the Nine-winged Golden Centipede excels in evasion and is cunning and ferocious by nature.

To be precise, Li Tianqing trapped and killed it.

His talent and achievements in the Divine Dance Lineage of the Witchcraft Sect are unparalleled through ancient times.

"He took the first step, next, who will it be?" Feng Gui remarked, "The Blood River Sect’s Xing Feng, or perhaps... Junior Brother Sun?"

Hu Hengyuan turned his head to look at Feng Gui upon hearing this.

Xing Feng is a genius of the Witchcraft Sect, equally famous as Li Tianqing, needless to say.

His approach contrasts starkly with most Blood River cultivators of the past, who delight in bloodshed, rarely partaking in or approaching others’ killings.

Yet he has reached his current heights; his advancement is even faster than Wei Ancheng of the past.

This time, due to the appearance of Yuan Shanji and Li Tianqing’s absence, Xing Feng entered the Earth Sea, ultimately killing many from the Jiuli, and even decisively slew Yuan Shanji.

Moreover, the fierce battle in the Earth Sea ultimately affected Xing Feng in unforeseeable ways.

But compared to Xing Feng, it is likely another that concerns Holy Master Feng Gui of the Samsara Abyss even more.

His fellow disciple, Sun Li.

Sun Li’s actions are unpredictable, his whereabouts a mystery, even Feng Gui cannot grasp him.

And now, his strength has evidently surpassed Feng Gui.

Even though both are currently in the Eighth Heavenly Layer realm, the top position in the Samsara Abyss has already changed hands.

Apart from Gepo Mountain being relatively calm, similar situations in past Southern Wilderness Witchcraft Sect often herald stormy changes.

What will Sun Li do?

Feng Gui remained silent, and so did Hu Hengyuan, refraining from inquiring further.

He suddenly recalled a saying from the Han people up north:

The waves behind drive the waves ahead on the Grand River.

Wei Ancheng and Sang Lu both died one after another, and Zonghan disappeared like a defeated dog.

In contrast, Sun Li, Xing Feng, and Li Tianqing have risen one after another.

Next, who will be swept away by the tides... Hu Hengyuan remained silent for a long time.

.........

Li Tianqing, at this moment, is at the site of the former ancestral land of Mount Gebo, sealed by the portal to the Earth Sea.

He adheres to the old customs, performing the ritual dance to console the former Holy Master of Mount Gebo, Sang Lu.

After the dance, Li Tianqing spoke to Xing Feng beside him: "Thank you!"

The two have known each other for many years, often helping and looking out for each other.

Such a solemn expression of gratitude is rare to witness.

Xing Feng lightly shook his head upon hearing: "You weren’t present, if you were there, it would have been even easier to take down Yuan Shanji."

He smiled and said, "Congratulations on first stepping into the Ninth Heavenly Layer realm, and slaying such a Great Demon like the Nine-winged Golden Centipede, the weight is far more than Yuan Shanji."

Li Tianqing shook his head: "Though not easy for me, compared to that Celestial Master Lei up north, there’s still a long way to go."

Xing Feng: "Oh? How so?"

Though Xing Feng had also come out from the Earth Sea, due to the Blood River Sect’s peculiar circumstances, while Xing Feng rarely partakes in killings, it was still challenging to communicate normally with other mortal cultivators, so they went their separate ways, leaving Xing Feng uninformed about the northern situation.

But Li Tianqing had stayed in the mortal world and had contact with the new Holy Master of Mount Gebo, Wen Xi, thus hearing some whispered news.

He spread a hand, displaying five fingers to Xing Feng: "I only dealt with one Nine-winged Golden Centipede, and it almost escaped me, while that Celestial Master Lei up north, also newly ascending to the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Taoist Mahayana High Immortal realm, went north to Zhongzhou and Cangzhou, slaying five Ninth Heavenly Layer cultivators in one day!"

"Oh?"

Xing Feng was surprised: "Five?"

Li Tianqing: "In Zhongzhou’s Luoyang, he slew Zhang Teng, Fang Jingsheng, Chu Xiuyuan, Ye Yan, and then in Cangzhou, he further slew Ye Moquan."

Xing Feng: "He directly faced four in Zhongzhou’s Luoyang?"

"I heard it was a sequential battle, not facing four at the same time." Li Tianqing shook his head repeatedly: "Even so, it’s impressive!"

Li Tianqing himself had just clashed with the Ninth Heavenly Layer Great Demon, the Nine-winged Golden Centipede.

Though through layers of Ghost God Sacrificial Arrays managed to kill it, Li Tianqing was most aware of how much strength he had left after the battle.

As for that Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, even if the battles in Zhongzhou’s Luoyang and Cangzhou were separate, in Luoyang, he still consecutively slew four masters.
