Chapter 504 - 445: The Major Event Has Been Accomplished

Chu Huaixu was still somewhat unable to fathom.

Why would the Snow Venerable Fruit Position be within the inheritance of the Second Generation Observatory Master?

"From where did Ancestor Yan Shen obtain the Fruit Position?"

It’s important to note that, chronologically, the Snow Venerable Fruit Position arrived in the Profound Yellow Realm far longer ago than the Night Venerable Fruit Position—over a thousand years ago.

Back then, let’s not even mention Yan Shen, even the Dao Ancestor hadn’t been born yet.

"Perhaps it was the Observatory Master’s fortuitous encounter?" Chu Huaixu was uncertain.

Thinking of this, he was actually quite curious.

Before the Dao Ancestor, who exactly was it that slew the Snow Venerable?

After pondering, he could only think of one possibility.

—The First Sword Venerable!

After all, before the Dao Ancestor, this was the most renowned figure throughout the Profound Yellow Realm.

There are so many legends about the First Sword Venerable, some sounding like mythological stories, truly beyond what someone of the Ninth Realm could accomplish.

However, his prominence was overshadowed by the subsequent Dao Ancestor.

This is one of the reasons why the Sword Sect and Daoist Sect do not get along well.

The historical issues are indeed numerous...

Regarding who is more formidable in combat power, the First Sword Venerable or the Dao Ancestor, everyone has their own opinion.

The Dao Ancestor’s name is more resounding, largely due to his creation of the Acupoint Opening Pill.

And after the Dao Ancestor’s passing, the next prominent figure in the Profound Yellow Realm was the Ancestor Emperor of Moon Country.

However, compared to the first two, this old man fell quite short in prestige and standard.

As a result, many insist that there must be realms beyond the Ninth Realm!

Chu Huaixu stood at the entrance of the Annulus Secret Realm, carefully sensing the surroundings.

Even with the Black Jade Lotus Platform, he couldn’t perceive anything.

Returning to his dwelling, he saw Han Shuangjiang still within the ice crystal.

"Big Ice Cube actually turned into a big ice cube indeed." Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but laugh and cry, thinking he indeed spoke prophetically back then.

However, as time passed, relying on his Power of Night Venerable Fruit, he could vaguely probe the situation inside the ice crystal.

Han Shuangjiang was currently in a good state, with no mishaps, although the integration of the Fruit Position apparently required considerable time.

Time moved forward by a few days.

The situation with the Big Ice Cube probably required at least half a month more.

Xu Ziqing was the first to emerge from seclusion.

Moreover, his emergence was quite tumultuous, causing a thunderous crash, as if Junzi Temple were struck by lightning.

Chu Huaixu hurried over to check.

Xu Ziqing’s Power of Qi and Blood surged outward, bringing forth rolling heat waves, as if he had become a moving mini-volcano.

Only after several breaths did he return to normal.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you’ve really made progress." Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but sigh.

He was eager to test his mettle against Xu Ziqing, a true showdown between real men, relying solely on the power of the flesh for a head-on collision.

But in the next moment, nine massive beams of light appeared above the heavens.

Chu Huaixu furrowed his brows involuntarily.

The third wave of Kunlun Cave Heaven’s descent had arrived.

This came even faster than he had anticipated.

"It seems my time for development is running short." Chu Huaixu thought.

"Let’s go, since we’ve emerged from seclusion, let’s descend the mountain." He gestured to Xu Ziqing.

Xu Ziqing quickly followed, still puzzled, asking, "What about Senior Sister Han?"

"We’ll discuss her situation as we fly." Chu Huaixu replied.

Of course, he would selectively share the details.

He couldn’t very well say that he and your senior sister had an explosive affair which ended up blasting out the Snow Venerable Fruit Position from her, right?

....

....

Daoist Sect had the Mountain Protection Array left by the Dao Ancestor, impenetrable by anyone.

Chu Huaixu was relatively reassured with the Big Ice Cube refining the Fruit Position on the mountain.

Yet, considering the special nature of the Fruit Position, he didn’t plan to go too far during this descent, intending only to gather resources nearby.

This way, should something occur on the mountain, he could return in time.

What followed was practically the same as before.

Nothing more than fighting hellishly.

These lower cultivators were merely fodder.

Yet, they couldn’t afford not to kill them.

Towards the end of the battle, Chu Huaixu’s Character Panel had nearly a billion more experience points.

"It’s about time for an upgrade on the next return."

"With the current experience points, I estimate I could reach level seventy." He calculated internally.

Normally, he would be delighted.

Ascending to the Seventh Realm at such speed was akin to riding a rocket.

However, the critical act of the great heaven calamity was soon to arrive.

This left him feeling far from joyous.

The Seventh Realm was still gravely insufficient!

"I wonder, if I were to reach the Ninth Realm and combine it with the Power of Night Venerable Fruit, would it be enough?" Chu Huaixu pondered.

However, the further along one progresses, the more astronomical the experience point expenditure becomes.

He had no idea how many experience points would be required to advance to the Ninth Realm.

Imagined, it should be an astronomical figure.

"I wonder if there are shortcuts available." He thought.

Meanwhile, in the distant Moon Country Capital, Lin Zixuan was kneeling at the core of the grand array.

Old State Preceptor Ming Xuanji was barely breathing, unable to speak.

The petite girl had reddened eyes, clutching the elder’s right hand.

She lowered her head, observing her master smiling at her with difficulty.

Though he tried to smile benevolently, the sheer lack of energy resulted in a rather unpleasant expression.

Finally, he slowly closed his eyes.

Soon after, a power emanated from his palm, channeling into Lin Zixuan’s body!

It coiled within her physique, yet didn’t blend with her inner Spiritual Power.

Apparently requiring time for gradual assimilation.

Still, Lin Zixuan, with her Divine Level Assistance, could acutely perceive that this power could also be "loaned" to others!

Her pupils trembled slightly, looking at her master, only to see, inexplicably, Ming Xuanji’s body rapidly crumbling, turning to ashes!

Within the core, only a ball of black light remained!

The girl instantly burst into tears, overcome with sorrow.

Nonetheless, her gaze never left the black light.

"This should be what Master wanted me to deliver to Chu Huaixu, right?" Lin Zixuan thought.

....

....

Kunlun Cave Heaven, Endless Sea.

The ancient youth Cang Wu continued seated across from his junior brother, engaged in a game of hands.

Several scrolls hovered around, seemingly watching them play idly.

Yet, this scene possessed little essence of life.

No one offered advice from the sidelines, nor did anyone comment.

Because these so-called Immortal Venerables were inherently extremely aloof individuals.

In strict terms, they were merely waiting.

With time passing, more and more lower cultivators perished in the Profound Yellow Realm.

The fusion between the Profound Yellow Celestial Dao and Kunlun Heavenly Dao was becoming increasingly close.

To be precise, it was continuously being polluted.

While playing chess, Cang Wu’s moves became increasingly slow.

Until suddenly his fingers paused in mid-air, ceasing further moves onto the chessboard.

"Plop."

He relaxed his fingers, allowing the white chess piece to fall randomly onto the board.

In those exceedingly aloof eyes, a glimmer actually flickered at this moment.

"The grand matter is accomplished." He declared.
