Seeking the Flying Sword Path

Bohan Island’s fame was far-reaching. In a vast area in its sphere of influence, the hunters that entrenched themselves in the spatial tide either had life-preservation means akin to Palatial Lord Myriad Flower’s or they had already submitted to Bohan Island.

The reason why Bohan Island could have such might… was solely due to a single existence—Bohan Island Lord.

“You are mad! Are you going to destroy your entire clan for an other-clan woman?”

“Sacred Lord, is it worth it to do so? Is it?”

“Master, I don’t want to die, please…”

Voices sounded one after another.

On Bohan Island, a white-haired man was leaning against a huge tree, seemingly asleep, when he suddenly opened his eyes.

“I dreamed those scenes again.” The white-haired man muttered to himself. “Lan Sheng is dead, then the entire world has to be silent. Once everyone is killed, they would no longer disturb her. How nice it would be to make the entire world Lan Sheng’s grave.”

His homeworld—it was a massive world that had all its life obliterated.

It was the doing of Bohan Island Lord.

“Lan Sheng, do you know that not long after your death, I figured out the mysteries of the Primordial realm. However, I repressed my strength and entered the spatial tide by keeping myself beneath the Primordial realm. I did it to seek out different cultivation Dharmic formulations and mystic arts from different universes. There are also various kinds of so-called resurrection arts. I have tried them all, but I’ve failed to revive you.

“Billions of years of longevity equals billions of years of torture,” the white-haired man muttered. “When will this torture come to an end? When will you be resurrected?”

The white-haired man suddenly sensed something.

“The Third Supremacy is dead?” The white-haired man was very calm. Few things in the spatial tide could alarm him. The Third Supremacy was merely a minion of his, a mere tool he used to capture other-universe experts.

“Island Lord.” A silver-haired man walked from afar to the tree’s side. He bowed reverently. “The Third Supremacy and the five envoys have all perished.”

“How did they die?” asked the white-haired man.

“The five envoys had set up an array to suppress the enemy. Third Supremacy Mochen tried his best but failed to crack the sword array,” said the silver-haired man. “As for the one that’s good at archery, he used his seventh arrow to kill an envoy and took 45 arrows to kill Third Supremacy.”

The white-haired man nodded slightly as a glimmer suffused his eyes. “The other-universe expert that casts the sword array isn’t to be underestimated. But as for the one good at archery… his arrows must have reached the might of the Primordial realm if he can kill the Third Supremacy. However, it is odd he spent seven arrows to kill an envoy, but 45 arrows to kill Third Supremacy. Clearly, only some of his arrows are considered powerful. That means that the occasional few arrows have the might of the Primordial realm.

“Interesting.

“The one good at snatching treasures can snatch treasures of experts one after another.

“The one good at the sword array can resist the Third Supremacy’s all-out attack.

“And there’s one good at offensive means who is capable of releasing strength at the Primordial realm.

“If these four other-universe experts come from the same universe, then their cultivation system must be interesting.” The white-haired man’s eyes had a look of anticipation.

The silver-haired man asked reverently, “Island Lord, how do we deal with them?”

“I shall take action personally,” said the white-haired man with a smile.

The silver-haired man revealed a look of delight. “This matter is as good as done with you taking action.”

The white-haired man nodded.

He wanted the lives of the four experts. Similarly, he wanted the cultivation systems of their world!

“Island Lord, they have obtained the Third Supremacy’s flying boat. They are moving at extremely fast speeds,” the silver-haired man could not help but say. “Of course, my spatial worms are tailing them.”

“Then I shall set off now,” said the white-haired man.

Soon.

The same kind of silver boat left Bohan Island, with only the white-haired man on board.

However, the boat he steered had been refined with greater effort, so its speed was thirty percent faster than Qin Yun’s flying boat!

Just nineteen years later, the white-haired man’s silver boat caught up to Qin Yun’s.

“Island Lord, they are up ahead,” a projection of the silver-haired man conjured by a spatial worm said reverently.

“I’ve flown for nineteen years. The distance covered is already immense,” said the white-haired man. “If they were returning to their homeworld, they would have long arrived. It’s unlikely that they would travel so far as newcomers to the spatial tide.”

Indeed.

If not for the silver boat, just the distance alone would see Qin Yun and company flying for more than a thousand years.

Bohan Island Lord had made preparations. If the four experts first returned to their homeworld, he would permanently station a few spatial worms at the Chaos spatial rift that Qin Yun and company used to leave! The next time they entered, they would be discovered immediately.

But it turned out that… that the four experts had traveled for nineteen years without end.

“They have been avoiding several hunters along the way,” said Bohan Island Lord with a laugh. “They aren’t engaging anyone but just rushing somewhere. If not for their homeworld, where?”

“Island Lord, they captured Palatial Lord Myriad Flower alive,” said the silver-haired man’s project reverently. “According to my spatial worms’ observation, it seems like Palatial Lord Myriad Flower is leading them.”

“Oh?”

Intrigued, Bohan Island Lord said, “Keep watching and let’s see where they are going.”

…

Qin Yun and company did not even sense that a silver boat was following them. After all, the distance was so great that it went beyond their detection range.

“Bohan Island Lord’s strength is unfathomable. He will definitely exact revenge. A stronger force will soon chase up to us,” warned Palatial Lord Myriad Flower.

“Since we made the decision, all you need to care about is forging our continuous path ahead,” said Hou Yi.

“We will adopt the necessary measures depending on the situation! No matter how unfathomably powerful he is, his Dharmic powers must have stopped just beneath the Heavenly Dao realm. In terms of strength, he should still be a distance away from the Dao Ancestors and the Buddhist Ancestor,” said Kong Xuan. “As long as there’s a difference, the four of us combined will be able to engage in a skirmish.”

Palatial Lord Myriad Flower thought to himself, “When you witness the might of Bohan Island Lord, you will be in a hurry to seek my help.”

Qin Yun sat cross-legged in the flying boat.

The journey required more than a hundred years; therefore, he focused on cultivation the entire journey.

…

On the 107th year since they killed the Third Supremacy, Qin Yun and company finally arrived at their destination.

“Halt,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower suddenly.

The silver boat rapidly came to a stop.

Hou Yi held an aqua blue token.

“The entrance of the Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley is roughly in this region. You can sense it with the memento in hand. The closer you are to the entrance, the more intense the memento’s fluctuation,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower.

“Okay.” Hou Yi carefully sensed the area while controlling the silver boat slowly in flight. He slowly moved towards the goal.

Soon.

“Here, the fluctuation is most intense here,” said Hou Yi.

Qin Yun and company saw mysterious patterns suffuse the aqua blue token.

“Activate the token and bring us all in,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower.

“Let’s go.” Hou Yi held the token and triggered it with his Dharmic powers.

Buzz.

The fluctuation that emitted from the token enveloped the flying boat under Hou Yi’s control.

Meanwhile, a maelstrom appeared in front of the boat. The boat zoomed in and disappeared with the maelstrom. After which, the region restored to its original state. The only difference was that a silver boat had vanished.

“Oh?”

It happened in nearly an instant.

Another silver boat arrived.

On that boat, Bohan Island Lord looked at his surroundings in astonishment. “They vanished? They vanished under my nose?”

“Island Lord, my spatial worms can’t enter. However, the place they entered seems to be…” whispered the silver-haired man’s projection.

“Legend has it that this region hides the Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley,” said Bohan Island Lord. “For them to suddenly vanish without me sensing them, it’s very likely they are headed for Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley. From the looks of it, I made the right choice in coming! I pursued the four other-universe experts and ended up coming to the Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley. If I can obtain the three divine fruits, it would be a huge harvest for me.”

“The entrance to Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley is actually a spatial node?”

Bohan Island Lord stared ahead. “Since I do not have the memento, I won’t be able to forcefully gain entry even if I tried.”

…

Outside, Bohan Island Lord attempted entry, but Qin Yun and company had already arrived before Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley.

“Is this Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley?” Qin Yun and company marveled.

The spatial forces had condensed into liquid as they flowed everywhere across a mountain range.

The extended mountain range’s most eye-catching spot was the mountain valley. They had appeared at its entrance, but the mountain valley had the protection of an array formation. Qin Yun and company could hardly see deep into it.
