Chapter 493: Truths of Merit
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yi Qing looked down at Fatty who had passed out and conjured a spell, a stream of Spirit Qi immediately swept towards his primordial spirit, in less than a second, a red mark gradually appeared above Fatty’s head.
“Hao Ran Court and Divine Imperial Sect were in cahoots in the first place, Fatty had been marked long ago.” Yi Qing sighed deeply. “They went to great lengths to transport Fatty’s bones here and didn’t want to let Fatty’s soul to be reincarnated to another little world, on top of them, rumour has it that every Sect Master of the Divine Imperial Sect was naturally weak and did not live pass 30 years of age, all these put together… it’s very obvious.”
Yi Qing looked down at the bones everywhere around them and spoke slowly, each word made very clear. “It isn’t Fatty’s first time being the Sect Master of the Divine Imperial Sect and these skeletons… are all Fatty!” It was Fatty who would have his flesh and blood depleted to increase cultivation by those cultivators, in every single lifetime, even his bones were squeezed dried for every bit of merit.
That was why he suddenly behaved unusually the moment he came here, he suddenly became so agitated because every piece of bone on this waterbed was him! Simply because his flesh and blood was unique, that he was a golden body of merit in every lifetime. For every lifetime reincarnated in this little world, he had died in the hands of those cultivators, for the so-called cultivation, they’d made use of him thoroughly.
They even made a mark on his primordial spirit, controlled all of his reincarnated bodies as they kept him in captivity in the Divine Imperial Sect like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.
He could not help but cry out to Shen Ying, was merely because he was… complaining, an injustice that even the Heavenly Dao could not take action against, he could only complain to Shen Ying.
“F*ck!” Lonemoon barked, a rage never felt before surged from the bottom of his heart. “This bunch of bastards!” At once, the Sword Qi in his body could not be suppressed and erupted, sweeping like sharp swords towards the waterbed, instantly, the floor of skeletons were reduced to ashes. Soaring Sword Qi broke out of the water surface, the water body that was originally tens of meters deep evaporated.
Lonemoon’s figure flashed, he was already up in the sky.
Yi Qing instinctively summoned his sword, wanting to follow along and help.
“Chef.” Shen Ying suddenly tugged him back. “Let us kids, not interfere in the adults’ matters.” With that said, she even pointed at the person by their feet. “Bring Fatty along, we’ll just watch from the side.” If you leave, there’ll be no one to carry Fatty.
“Yes, Master!” Yi Qing put his sword away without the least bit of doubt and lifted Fatty who weighed more than 150kg, directly flying out of the waterbed that had already dried up. They only realized after flying up that they’d been in the huge lotus pond at the back mountain of Hao Ran Court earlier on.
As expected, the thick scent of blood and baneful Qi that he’d smelled here back then hadn’t been a mistake. It was rather ironic, a bunch of Buddhist cultivators who specialized in cultivating merit, yet the merit in their body all came from the skeletons of this person in the pond who’d died with injustice time and time again.
The stir on their side had naturally alarmed the people of Hao Ran Court. Within moments, Chan Ji was already flying over with numerous cultivators, seeing Lonemoon in the air, he was taken aback, disbelief written all over his face.
“How… How did you?” Chan Ji’s eyes widened abruptly. “This is impossible!”
“Hmph!” Lonemoon laughed coldly. “Very surprised that I wasn’t eaten by the ferocious beast as you’d wished for? That’s fine, you will be even more surprised.”
With that, he flipped his hand and a sky full of spirit swords appeared, densely occupying the entire sky, a sword array as huge as the sky, alongside a suppression that completely could not be resisted against came falling from the sky.
Chan Ji stumbled, unable to balance himself, he fell out of the air. It was the same for the other cultivators by his side, they were suppressed to the point that they couldn’t even lift their heads.
“Who exactly are you?” Chan Ji looked towards the person in the air with a panic-stricken look, that fake mask of benevolence had been long replaced by a sinister and ruthless one. It was impossible for such capabilities to belong to an ordinary cultivator, something suddenly came to his mind as his eyes widened, could he be someone from the Upper Realm?
“Who am I? I am Fatty’s Master!” Lonemoon’s eyes turned cold. “My personality is nothing much, I am just very protective and biased of my loved ones! Though he is a fatty, it’s not up to you to bully him!” As he spoke, an even greater suppression came pushing, the people below could not bear it and felt their blood and Qi surging as they began to spit out blood.
“Oh dear dear…” Shen Ying exclaimed very exaggeratedly as she lifted her head to peek at her Father Niu who was burning with raging flames of anger. “Father Niu indeed treats Fatty differently.”
Yi Qing faltered and hurriedly commented, “Master is right!”
On the other side, Chan Ji was on the brink of collapse, just as he was about to be crushed by a sky full of suppression, a figure came flying over from the peak of the mountain.
“Heretical cultivator, cease your savagery!” The Patriarch of Hao Ran Court, Earth Immortal Jing De charged out, the dharma artifact in his hand was thrown out at Lonemoon with a raise of his hand. Instantly, a huge green umbrella appeared in the air, growing to several tens of times of it size and attacked in Lonemoon’s direction.
“Dharma artifact?” Lonemoon faltered and recognized that this was the same umbrella that Divine Imperial Sect had brought the past two times, they were indeed jackals of the same lair. The fury in Lonemoon’s heart surged up once more. The sword in his hand swept, a wave of Sword Qi sliced towards the umbrella.
“Hmph, how dare you dream of breaking my…” Before Jing De could finish his words, that umbrella was sliced in half, it’s Immortal Qi dispersed at once and it dropped out of the air as a ruined umbrella.
He’d long saw this umbrella as an eyesore, just a piece of garbage and it’d been brought on stage so many times, how dramatic.
Jing De’s eyes widened in disbelief, his dharma artifact, following that an immense pain rose from his chest, the backlash of his dharma artifact being crippled came rushing up, the blood and Qi in his entire body counter-flowed, spitting out a mouthful of blood, he couldn’t sustain his sword-riding anymore and joined the pile of Chan Ji and the rest below.
“Hmph, how dare a random piece of trash be called a dharma artifact?” Lonemoon’s mocking mode was switched one. “I’ll show all of you, what’s a true dharma artifact.” With that, his hand flipped over and a big gold clock instantly appeared in his hand and expanded.”
Yi Qing who was watching from below froze and frowned. “Master, is the one that Father Niu has a divine artifact?”
This was obviously the Divine Refining Clock, one of the ten greatest divine artifacts. Though this one was evidently a counterfeit that Father Niu made Xun Shu model after the original, but it was still a divine artifact!
Shen Ying patted his shoulder. “Hey, if Father Niu says it is an immortal artifact, then it is an immortal artifact.” We must care for single elderly living alone.
“Master is right, that is an immortal artifact!”
Fatty who’d just came to: “…”
The Divine Refining Clock was already thrown out, Yi Qing hurriedly brought his Master alongside the 150 kg Fatty out of Hao Ran Court, staying far away.
The next moment, they heard a rumble, under immense suppression, a huge part of the originally majestic palace toppled, the entire mountain where Hao Ran Court was built upon began to collapse, falling piece by piece into the sea below like it had completely shattered.
Just as Chan Ji and the others were about to be pinned under the clock, a stream of gold light flashed, the Divine Refining Clock suddenly stopped in midair.
Eh?
