Talisman Emperor

On this day, the news that Chen Xi had slaughtered 13 Earthly Immortal Realm experts from the Heavenflow Dao Sect, refined the Universal Devil Suppression Sword Formation, and then annihilated Elder Yun Zhu who was at the 6th level of the Earthly Immortal Realm swiftly spread out, and it caused the entire Dark Reverie to be stirred greatly.

“Is this true? Chen Xi just killed eight great sinners, then swept through another group of experts, and he annihilated over 10 Earthly Immortal Realm experts from the Heavenflow Dao Sect by himself? I don’t believe it!”

“My god! Breaking news, explosive news! The number one figure in the Nine Radiance Sword Sect’s younger generation is heaven defying! Even a 6th level Earthly Immortal Realm expert’s head was cut off by him!”

Practically everyone was stunned upon hearing the news, and they didn’t dare believe all this because less than a day had passed since Chen Xi annihilated the eight Earthly Immortal Realm great sinners. Was it possible for him to carry out such a shocking and frightful deed in such a short period of time?

This had simply exceeded logic, and it was extraordinarily formidable and horrifying!

All the experts of the in the 10 great immortal sects and six lineages of the devil sects in the Dark Reverie were shocked, and numerous Earthly Immortal Realm experts that lived in seclusion were alarmed by this. They walked out from their places of closed door cultivation and understood the situation in detail from their disciples.

There were even great figures in the Unknown Lands and Secluded Paradise that were alarmed, and they opened their eyes amidst the rumbling of the Grand Dao and seemed to see through the boundless space as they looked towards a single direction in the Dark Reverie.

On this day, the Dark Reverie was stirred. This piece of news swept through the surroundings like a typhoon, and everyone was horrified and found it difficult to believe that a young man who was only at the Nether Transformation Realm was capable of achieving this.

“Even if it’s a figure that’s unequalled in his generation and at the Exalted Rank of the Nether Transformation Realm, it would probably be difficult to achieve this, right? Could it be that he has already attained the Earthly Immortal Realm a long time ago and intentionally concealed his cultivation?” Someone guessed like this because there would be no way to explain it otherwise.

“Impossible! If he has advanced into the Earthly Immortal Realm, then he would surely possess Immortal Energy, but Chen Xi didn’t.” Someone else shook his head and didn’t believe this.“If he executed the Godslaughter Burst while possessing 10 times combat strength, then perhaps he would be able to annihilate a 3rd level Earthly Immortal Rank expert, but how could he have possibly been able to slaughter Elder Yun Zhu at the 6th level of the Earthly Immortal Realm? There’s something strange about it, there’s surely something strange about it!” Some old seniors acutely noticed something unusual because Chen Xi was too strong and was simply like a freak, and he was like a variable that was impossible to comprehend.

“But wasn’t the Heavenflow Dao Sect too despicable in this battle? They deployed so many great figures and even utilized such a great weapon like the Universal Devil Suppression Sword Formation merely for the sake of dealing with the Nine Radiance Sword Sect’s Chen Xi. If it was any other person, that person would probably have been crushed a long time ago, right?”

At the same time, most people were slightly indignant as they felt the methods of the Heavenflow Dao Sect who was one of the 10 great immortal sects was so despicable to the point of being infuriating.

“Now, it can already be confirmed that all of this was ordered by the emissary of the Immortal Dimension, Bing Shitian. Don’t forget that he appeared on the Sky Dao Abandoned Mountain in the end.”

“The evils of love! Chen Xi, Bing Shitian, Qing Xiuyi… Amongst these three people, one is a the most dazzling and peerless genius that had just risen recently; the other was the emissary of the Immortal Dimension; and the last had experienced 100 reincarnations and was once reputed as the number one genius in the Dark Reverie. But all of them are tied together because of love, causing favor and enmity to converge together, and the calamity of death to arise repeatedly. I wonder what sort of method will be used to put an end to this calamity of love in the end?”

Some people that had heard about the relationship between the three sighed endlessly with emotion because at the bottom of it all, wasn’t all this commotion, resentment, and hatred, the calamity brought about by love?

The entire Dark Reverie was stirred, whereas both disciples and elders in the Nine Radiance Sword Sect were infuriated because of this incident.

“They deserve death! The Heavenflow Dao Sect deserves death! Bing Shitian deserves death! They bullied the disciple of my Nine Radiance Sword Sect repeatedly, do they think that there’s no one capable in my Nine Radiance Sword Sect?”

“They went too far, and there must be retaliation. Otherwise, what face would my Nine Radiance Sword Sect haver to continue maintaining a foothold in the cultivation world?”

“They went too far!”

Within the central hall on True Martial Peak, all the Earthly Immortal Realm experts were converged here and had extremely infuriated expressions. The Immortal Energy within their bodies rumbled, causing them to seem like numerous infuriated primeval ferocious beasts, and their imposing auras surged and caused the hearts of others to tremble.

“Sect Master, make a decision.” Elder Lie Peng’s beard and hair fluttered with rage as he spoke with allow voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, the gazes of everyone within the hall shot towards the Sect Master, Wen Huating, that sat on the center seat. His expression was cold, a complete change to his usual warm appearance, and his gaze was faintly suffused with a piercingly cold light.

In next to no time, he decided and said with a low voice, “From today onward, slaughter all members of the Heavenflow Dao Sect that appear within the territory of my Nine Radiance Sword Sect!

“Drive out all powers that have ties with the Heavenflow Dao Sect!”

When he spoke up to here, Wen Huating swept everyone with his gaze, and then it descended onto one of the Earthly Immortal Realm experts. “This matter will be managed by Junior Brother Pei Liang. If there’s any defiance, then slaughter first and report it later!”

“I’ll solemnly obey Sect Master’s orders!” Pei Liang was a middle aged man with a cold and ruthless bearing, and he solemnly received his orders right away upon hearing this.

“Besides that, call back all the disciples and elders of my Nine Radiance Sword Sect that are scattered near the Heavenflow Dao Sect, and severe all relationships with the Heavenflow Dao Sect. This matter will be managed by Junior Brother Yu Feng.”

“Acknowledged!” 

Wen Huating nodded with an expressionless face while the space between his brows was filled with murderous expression, and his voice was like an enormous bell that rumbled and shook throughout the hall. “Junior Brother Lie Peng, you lead 27 Earthly Immortal Realm elders from Divine Radiance Peak and take the 28 Stellar Slaughterglow Sword Formation with you before leaving the sect immediately. Go wherever you like, and your mission is to allow everyone in the world to find out that incidents of disciples from the Heavenflow Dao Sect being killed is happening repeatedly from tomorrow onward!”

Everyone was able to discern that Wen Huating was really infuriated this time, and he’d aroused killing intent in his heart. This was something that had very rarely occurred in the past.

“Acknowledged!” said Lie Peng in a low voice, and his eyes carried pleasant surprise and a wisp of killing intent that was impossible to conceal.

Since the Heavenflow Dao Sect dared to deploy 14 Earthly Immortal Realm experts with the Universal Devil Suppression Sword Formation to pursue Chen Xi, their Nine Radiance Sword Sect would dare to deploy 28 Earthly Immortal Realm experts with the 28 Stellar Slaughterglow Sword Formation to pursue all the disciples of the Heavenflow Dao Sect that were scattered all over the world!

This was an extremely overbearing counterattack, and it carried the intent of proclaiming to the world that this enmity would be returned doubly!

Everyone in the hall was excited, and their battle intent shot into the skies.

During these past few thousands of years, due to various reasons, the overall strength of their Nine Radiance Sword Sect had declined greatly, and its ranking in the 10 great immortal sects had fallen to the end. It was to the point that practically everyone in the world was on the verge of forgetting that the Nine Radiance Sword Sect had once overbearingly occupied the position of number one sect amongst the 10 great immortal sects during its prime all those years ago!  

The decline of the sect caused all of these great figures to have anger held back within their hearts.

But in these recent years and under the command of Wen Huating, the forces of the Nine Radiance Sword Sect had been recovering and strengthening in secret. Coupled with the appearance of the various peak-grade Dao Arts and various genius disciples surging out into appearance like bamboo shoots after the rain. Even though the overall strength of the Nine Radiance Sword Sect still hadn’t recovered to its prime state, it possessed the might to rival the Heavenflow Dao Sect.

Perhaps everyone in the outside world didn’t know about all these changes. But as higher-ups of the Nine Radiance Sword Sect, they were clearly aware about all of this.

It just so happened that the Heavenflow Dao Sect had repeatedly provoked the Nine Radiance Sword Sect at this moment, so how could Lie Peng and all these higher-ups of the sect restrain themselves?

Moreover, the forceful attitude of the Sect Master at this moment carried the feeling of ‘sharpening a sword for 10 years while waiting for the moment to use it.’ Perhaps, from today onward, the entire cultivation world would fall into shock because the Nine Radiance Sword Sect had risen once again.

But at this moment, there was still someone that put forward some concerns and said, “Sect Master, the three dimensions are on the verge of an upheaval, it seemed to be ill advised to proclaim war with the Heavenflow Dao Sect.”

Wen Huating’s expression remained unchanged as he said indifferently, “Since the Heavenflow Dao Sect doesn’t care, then why should we care?”

“But Bing Shitian is an emissary of the Immortal Dimension. If he interfered because of this…” That elder was still extremely worried, and he spoke slowly.

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Huating had already interrupted him. “This is the Mortal Dimension, not the Immortal Dimension. Not to mention he’s merely a single emissary of the Immortal Dimension, so he can’t kick up much of a storm.” 

When he spoke up to here, his expression suddenly turned serious while his gaze was like a bolt of lightning as he said with a low voice. “Everyone, even though our Nine Radiance Sword Sect has recovered a great deal of strength now, it’s far from being enough. As far as I’m concerned, if the Nine Radiance Sword Sect wants to relive its former brilliance and ascend the position of number one sect amongst the 10 great immortal sects, then Chen Xi is the key. What do all of you think?”

Everyone was stunned, and then they thought of the string of world shocking incidents that had occurred on Chen Xi, and they deeply agreed.

The potential of this young man is limitless, and he can’t be judged based on convention. Since the ancient times, how many people in the entire world were capable of sweeping through so many Earthly Immortal Realm experts while possessing a cultivation in the Nether Transformation Realm?

So long as such a young man continues to grow, he’s bound to become an overlord that shocks the three dimensions. His future accomplishments are limitless!

At that time, not to mention leading the Nine Radiance Sword Sect to ascend the position of number one sect amongst the 10 great immortal sects, it’s extremely possible for him to create an even greater and brilliant achievement.

“So nothing can happen to Chen Xi, and we absolutely can’t allow him to suffer the slightest bit of grievance in the Nine Radiance Sword Sect!” Wen Huating spoke with a tone that carried indisputable resolution.

On this day, numerous great figures at the Earthly Immortal Realm transformed into flowing rays of light as they left the Nine Radiance Sword Sect, and numerous orders were sent to every single corner of the Dark Reverie.  

    …

Swish!

Beneath the river shaped like the character ‘道’, waves of water surged while a tall and handsome figure moved through it and ceaselessly moved downwards. All along the way, the numerous layers of restrictions and ferocious beasts that possessed savage appearances were unable to obstruct his footsteps.

3km.

9km.

15km.

Chen Xi stopped when he arrived at a distance of 24km, and he seemed to be lost in thought. That person from before was probably Bing Shitian. Fortunately, this river water can severe the detection of Divine Sense and Immortal Perception, otherwise I might have really been noticed by him.

Earlier, when he suffered the ambush of Leng Chan’er and the others, it was precisely because the situation beneath the surface of the river couldn’t be detected by his Divine Sense that they would be able to successfully launch a surprise attack against him, causing him to fall into the Universal Devil Suppression Sword Formation. Now, he’d similarly utilized this effect of the river water to avoid Bing Shitian’s detection.

Unfortunately, my main body is injured. If I was at my prime, I would really wish to have a fight with him and see exactly how great the gap between us is… Chen Xi shook his head and quickly got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and then he pondered briefly yet didn’t leave this place but continued flashing downwards instead.

It was very likely that the treasure vault of the Sky Dao Palace was in a concealed place at the bottom of the river, and since he’d already come here, he naturally had to explore it.

Not to mention that even though he didn’t possess the treasure map, he’d branded everything on the treasure map within his sea of consciousness since the beginning. Coupled with the Sky Key in his possession, so long as he found his destination, he wouldn’t have to worry about being unable to open the treasure vault of the Sky Dao Palace that had vanished for over 10,000 years!
