Soaring of Galaxia

While the people of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect were busy with a multitude of tasks, Qin Wushuang had spent seven days and nights deep inside the underground ley lines. For these past seven days and nights, he had not calculated the time and was unaware of how much time had passed. Qin Wushuang had only immersed himself into his training.

This training location gave him some pressure and some enjoyment. Most importantly, he had gained much more. Within these seven days and nights, the progress Qin Wushuang made was equivalent to a year of hard work.

For such a training environment steeped with profound spiritual qi in the bottom of the earth, one would not find it even if they were to search for it while holding a lantern.

While he immersed himself within his training, vividly, Qin Wushuang heard some movements. It had immediately awakened him from his ongoing spiritual perception training.

He listened attentively and sensed the movements. He was also not in a rush to send his spiritual perception out. It was because he was worried that once he extended his spiritual perception, it would alert the people outside and in turn, expose himself.

As he attentively listened, Qin Wushuang could not help but feel tense. Indeed, these were people of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. Although he was hidden deep within the earth and submerged in this sea of qi, the sound from the outside had swept towards him clearly following the movements of the spiritual qi. Qin Wushuang didn’t know that because the spiritual qi of this source moved with a vortex like direction, he would not have to worry about the movements within reaching the surface.

The sound from the surface had travelled to him, with not one drop in volume.

Qin Wushuang listened with all his concentration for he knew, he could not take it lightly in spite of the fact that his strength had improved.

Now, before the elite warriors of the Exquisite Mysteries Boundary, he did not have any capital to be arrogant. Therefore, it was crucial for him to keep his whereabouts a secret.

“Karma, we have sinned!” Luo Tongtian looked at the massive ruins before him, he grieved and lamented over it. He could not believe that this had once been the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect’s forbidden area, the Nine Refined Mysterious Wind Valley.

The Subduing Devil Stone Tablet had shattered into four massive chunks and was piled together with the collapsed mountain range ruins. When looking from afar, it appeared like a giant graveyard.

“Head Dao Warrior, this Subduing Devil Stone Tablet had truly been destroyed by a foreign power!” Luo Hengye was incredibly astonished. Judging the way how this Subduing Devil Stone Tablet was destroyed, it could not have been done by ordinary power.

“Head Dao Warrior, is it for real, that kid from the human countries is this powerful?” Tian Mingshan found it to be inconceivable as he said, “If he truly possessed such power, he would not have needed to attack the Subduing Devil Stone Tablet, and could have just attack the four of us. Divine power…”

The implied meaning behind his words were clear. The four Dao Warriors would not be able to withstand the power of the Divine Dao.

In fact, the other Dao Warriors were also puzzled by this question. As Tian Mingshan had mentioned, if he had possessed such power, why would he destroy the Subduing Devil Stone Tablet and not kill the four Dao Warriors.

Luo Tongtian said with a cold sneer: “No matter how devilish Qin Wushuang can be, how much power could he have? Is it enough to just have the strength at the Profound Void Martial Stage? Can one kill us for being at the Profound Stage?”

“But…”

“There is no but.” Luo Tongtian’s tone was determined, “There is only one reason, and that is because of Lu Xianlou, that old bastard, gave him fortune and allowed him to unleash power of the Supreme Dao within a short period of time. Additionally, this fortune is definitely a one-time use only. It cannot be used again! Or else, after he had destroyed the Subduing Stone Tablet, he could just waited for us here.”

Luo Tongtian knew Lu Xianlou the best. Everyone finally realized the light through his explanation. All of them felt dismayed inwardly. A kid from the Human Countries had created this much trouble for the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. Indeed, the sect had lost all their reputation and was completely humiliated. They felt even more defeated after they seeing this Subduing Devil Stone Tablet.

“Head Dao Warrior, could we rebuild this stone tablet?”

Luo Tongtian looked at the stone tablet that lay shattered in four chunks: “Perhaps, I can do it if I possess the power of the Supreme Dao. Like the First Dao Warrior had done, I can reconnect the stone tablet with the spiritual qi under the ground. With my current power, even if I can raise the tablet again, I cannot restore the spiritual formation. If the tablet can be restored, all the destroyed formations, and strongholds will be reconnected to the spiritual qi. It would not be difficult to rebuild it. Presently, the most crucial problem lies with the tablet.”

When Luo Tongtian said up to this point, he jumped up and dropped onto the shattered parts of the stone tablet. As he sensed with his spiritual perception, he realized that he could not extend his sensation any further after reaching a certain depth.

After a few attempts, he discovered that as soon as he sent through his spiritual qi and perception in, like a stone dropping into the ocean, it got swept away by a vortex and disappeared.

Seeing Luo Tongtian frowned, Luo Hengye also scuttled over and sent his spiritual perception down. The result was the same as he also received no reaction.

“Head Dao Warrior, this giant circle should be the core of the spiritual qi, right?” Sensing the powerful movements of the spiritual qi, Luo Hengye was also shocked inwardly.

Luo Tongtian said with a low voice: “This is the place. Third, I will ask you to guard this place. You must protect the area and not allow anyone to approach this place.”

Tian Mingshan answered: “Ok.”

Luo Tongtian gave a long sigh: “Don’t feel discouraged everyone. One day, the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect will regain its glory, and we will be even more glorious than before! We will not give up the Heavenly Sun Mountain, and we will not give up on the Heavenly Emperor Mountain.”

As he spoke, suddenly, there were some noise from behind. It was Shakyamuni Chong Guang who had arrived with a group of people

“Head Dao Warrior, we caught two subordinates that had followed Luo Yang. According to the disciples at the checkpoints, these two were two of the five subordinates brought by Luo Yang.”

Luo Tongtian was overjoyed: “Bring them!”

These two were indeed the two guys that had entered the Nine Refined Mysterious Wind Valley with Qin Wushuang. These two were ordered to guard the entrance. After the incident, they did not escape and had stayed in hiding at the Heavenly Sun Mountain. In the end, they were discovered.

Luo Tongtian looked at these two with a pair of gloomy eyes and with a murderous expression, he said: “This was not your fault. As long as you speak the truth, I can pardon you from death.”

Upon speaking such words against his conviction, Luo Tongtian had truly used all effort to disguise his genuine emotions.

Those two disciples waited for Luo Tongtian to speak with a cold expression. Their eyes appeared empty and lifeless. Suddenly, these two opened their mouths and spat a glob of phlegm directly at Luo Tongtian.

Luo Tongtian had never expected that these two guys would dare to defy their superior! Under tremendous fury, a purple light rose from his entire body, along with the sudden increase of murderous aura.

Luo Hengye immediately consoled him: “Head Dao Warrior, perhaps they were being manipulated!”

“Yes, from the way they look, surely their mind was manipulated.”

Deep inside the ley lines, Qin Wushuang had grasped the situation on the surface clearly. Inwardly, he was feeling slightly worried. However up to this point, since Luo Tongtian already learned that he was the mastermind, those two would not be able to reveal much else.

Luo Tongtian gave an eerie laugh: “You think I am left without a method if you stay silent?”

After he had finished speaking, he opened his eyes wide and a wave of purple light shot from the centre of his forehead. The lights divided into two beams and penetrated the middle of these two’s forehead. This was a divine skill similar to the “Soul Prying Technique.”

Yet it was far more tyrannical than the “Soul Prying Technique.” Once he entered the consciousness of these two, Luo Tongtian had instantly searched all their recent memories.

As he kept digging, he reached the memory where Landlord Zuo visited the Sea of Bamboo Courtyard. The trace of a strange smile emerged from the corner of Luo Tongtian’s mouth as he withdrew his skill.

With a miserable cry, Luo Tongtian turned these two into dust.

To traitors, regardless of whether they were forced or had taken the initiative, they were traitors since their actions had betrayed the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. Luo Tongtian had never been merciful to traitors.

“Head Dao, how did it go?”

Luo Tongtian said coldly: “Indeed the problem was due to Landlord Zuo. And it’s true that someone had manipulated Luo Yang. Only, regarding the identity of this manipulator, no traces remained within the spiritual perception of these two traitors. However, when I searched through their mind, vividly, there seemed to be a surge of invisible spiritual power controlling them. At the same time, it seemed to be guiding their consciousness.”

“Guiding them at the same time?” Luo Hengye’s expression changed drastically and he looked at his surroundings alarmed. With ruins around them, how could there be any signs of disturbance?

“Head Dao Warrior, you are saying that when you searched their spiritual perception, someone was manipulating it?”

“Yes.” Luo Tongtian said with a low voice, “Would this person already know that we are going to search their spiritual perception, is it a coincidence that he just happened to be in communication with them?”

“Head Dao Warrior, these two were only two little chest pieces. After they were used, they had become useless. If I was the enemy, of course I would cease all communication.” When Luo Hengye finished speaking, his expression had become even more solemn. Then, he started to look for something in his surroundings.

Suddenly, he put one of his hand next to the lips and whistled a few times. These were strange whistles. In a moment, a long and explosive cry came from afar.

The source of this sound possessed a formidable and imposing aura that engulfed the cloud and wind. Soon, a giant silver hawk, with an average-build size, yet looking fearsome, soared through the sky spreading its wings wide open.

“Heavenly Punishing Hawk?” Luo Tongtian asked.

Luo Hengye nodded: “Head Dao Warrior, I have begged people of the Heavenly Punishing Villa for a long time to ask them to lend it to me. Unfortunately, I had returned late.”

As he spoke, Luo Hengye whispered a few words in beast language to the Heavenly Punishing Hawk. That hawk also showed an arrogant attitude as it only gave a casual nod to Luo Tongtian.

Luo Tongtian was brimming with joy inwardly. Initially, under tremendous rage, he had decided to ask to borrow this Heavenly Punishing Hawk from the Heavenly Punishing Villa after the death of Luo Zhan.

Now, hearing Luo Hengye speaking of this hawk, of course he was overjoyed at the turn of events. The fact was, although this Heavenly Punishing Hawk was not a spiritual beast at the Supreme Dao, it possessed the bloodline of the Ancient Divine Beasts. Certainly, it was powerful enough to make the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect pay respect toward it.

Most importantly, this Heavenly Punishing Hawk had incomparable tracking skills. This skills of the beast had reached an extent where it almost seemed to be defying the natural order!

Luo Hengye had called for the Heavenly Punishing Hawk because he had grasped some hints from the words spoken by the Head Dao Warrior. He felt that perhaps the enemy was concealing himself nearby!

Even if they were unable to sense the enemy for the moment, Luo Hengye had absolute trust in the skills of the Heavenly Punishing Hawk!
