Chapter 591: Chapter 398: 100 Years in the Void, The Conquest Begins (2)
You cannot pin your hopes on the possibility of his failure to break through.
Now, the only place that can help Zhong Heng grow rapidly is...
The Void Realm.
This Blessed Land World with abundant resources!
[In the year 5445 of the New Source Era, with the full support of the Flying Star Cultivation Realm, Sunx Yue’s cultivation improved to Golden Core Perfection, becoming the Sect Leader of one of the three Righteous Dao Sects, the Cangyu Sword Sect, with nearly half of the elders replaced by strong cultivators from the Flying Star Cultivation Realm.]
[Numerous disciples from other six sects are lurking.]
[The passage is gradually being opened, and the Flying Star Cultivation Realm’s interference in the Void Realm is increasing.]
[In the year 5455 of the New Source Era, a hundred years have passed since the infiltration of the Void Realm, and the changes in the entire Void Realm are massive.]
Zhong Heng walks in this realm.
The air is filled with a completely different aura from the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.
The concentration of Spiritual Qi is decent, but the air is filled with faint Sword Qi.
Practicing Sword Dao here grants an additional boost.
This is due to the subtle influence of the world’s creatures over twenty thousand years.
Practicing Sword Dao yields twice the result with half the effort.
However, there is another aura in the air.
That is the influence of the Void Abyss on this world.
This Void Abyss should be a small branch of the Jiuzhou’s Void Abyss.
It can continuously produce Void Abyss Beasts.
The cultivators of this world have fought against the Void Abyss Beasts for generations, making them much stronger than the typical large-scale cultivation realm.
Zhong Heng takes a step forward, and the surrounding scenery flashes by quickly.
A figure appears in front of him, seated cross-legged.
He is dressed in white, with a jade sword at his waist, looking clean and fierce.
Two long swords float in front of him.
It is Sunx Yue.
Or rather, the current Sect Leader of the Cangyu Sword Sect, Sunx Yue.
"Sect Leader!"
The elders under Sunx Yue’s seat are filled with formidable Sword Intent.
Half of them stand up, looking at Zhong Heng.
The other half do not make any significant moves.
"Quiet, this is an old friend of mine."
The elders look at Zhong Heng with suspicion.
Zhong Heng doesn’t hide his aura at all.
They all sense the Nascent Soul aura on him.
Could it be that he is from the other two Righteous Dao Sects?
But why would they come to the Cangyu Sword Sect?
"Take me to meet him."
"Yes."
The surroundings change.
Sunx Yue takes him to a Cave Mansion.
"Sunx Yue requests an audience with the Supreme."
Sunx Yue bows his head.
A woman in a green dress strides out of the Cave Mansion, her demeanor cold and her beauty unmatched.
Her eyes light up upon seeing Sunx Yue, but she seems to hold some grudge, turning her head with a cold snort.
"Sunx Yue, convince me you’ve severed ties with that demoness from the Demon Sect before I’ll let you see my grandfather."
The woman speaks this way.
Zhong Heng watches Sunx Yue, smiling slightly.
Sunx Yue has incurred quite a bit of romantic debt in this realm, some at Zhong Heng’s behest.
Such as the woman in front of him, the Cangyu Supreme Nascent Soul’s most beloved and only granddaughter.
Thanks to this connection, Sunx Yue could quickly gain the Cangyu Sword Sect’s support.
That’s how he reached Golden Core Perfection within a century, even though he’s in his second cultivation cycle.
Sunx Yue’s expression doesn’t change at all.
He bows again, looking serious.
"Sunx Yue requests an audience with the Supreme."
"Sunx Yue, didn’t I tell you..."
"Enough, Ming’er, step aside for now..." An elder with white hair and beard walks out from behind her.
The woman now seems to notice the presence of another beside Sunx Yue, her expression changing several times before obediently stepping aside.
The Cangyu Supreme gives Sunx Yue a glance, filled with indiscernible meaning.
"Daoist friend, please follow me."
"Daoist friend, please."
Sunx Yue stands aside while the Cangyu Supreme and Zhong Heng sit under a pavilion, two cups of Spirit Tea and a chessboard between them.
The two begin a game of chess like old friends who haven’t seen each other in years, without any formality.
"I wonder where you come from, Daoist friend."
"Could it be... the Taixuan Sect?"
The Cangyu Supreme quietly says the words.
Zhong Heng shows no surprise.
"It’s related."
"Decades ago, when the Taixuan Sect emerged during the Righteous Demon War, even I didn’t pay attention to this newly established sect."
"This sect exists outside the Righteous Dao and Demon Sect and takes hunting Void Abyss Beasts as its creed; I noticed something different about the Taixuan Sect back then."
"Indeed, there is a Nascent Soul behind it."
"For a Daoist friend to grow to a Nascent Soul without the support of Righteous or Demon Dao is truly extraordinary, and I wonder what brings you here."
The Cangyu Supreme speaks directly and openly.
"What I want is the entirety of the Void Realm."
Zhong Heng’s words fall.
Their eyes meet.
The Cangyu Supreme’s initial assumptions about Zhong Heng shatter instantly.
"Who exactly are you?"
"An outsider."
"You..." Cangyu Supreme is somewhat stunned.
"If Daoist friend has the time, why not come with me to take a look?"
The Cangyu Supreme glances at Sunx Yue, then at Zhong Heng, with increasing complexity in his gaze.
[You have officially initiated the plan to conquer the Void Realm.]
[You came to the Cangyu Sword Sect and directly laid out your intentions to the Cangyu Supreme.]
[You took the Cangyu Supreme back to the Flying Star Cultivation Realm.]
"The so-called Void Realm is just a small part separated from Jiuzhou."
"Even my Wanlang Mountains are just a very small part of Central State in Jiuzhou."
Zhong Heng’s expression is calm.
On the Treasure Ship, the Cangyu Supreme feels the distinct difference in this world.
It’s as if moving from a fish tank into the ocean.
At this moment, over a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators walk by the Flying Star Cultivation Realm.
These are the Nascent Soul cultivators from the temporary western alliance.
Over the years, they have tirelessly moved eastward, building up a significant presence.
Even some Nascent Soul cultivators in the east have been persuaded by them.
The goal is to stop the Venerable Peach Blossom!
"Greetings Zhong Dao You."
"Zhong Dao You, it’s been a while."
The dozen people bow to Zhong Heng.
They glance at the Cangyu Supreme but show little reaction.
Just an early-stage Nascent Soul, a bit unfamiliar, but quite old; who knows where Zhong Dao You found this friend.
The Cangyu Supreme is stunned.
Over a dozen Nascent Souls!?
And everyone has a potent aura!
It’s known that while the Void Realm has seven Nascent Souls, they are all early-stage.
In any faction there, the Cangyu Supreme would be treated with utmost respect.
People would look at him with awe.
This is the first time he’s been regarded so calmly.
"This is an array."
Zhong Heng tosses out a Storage Ring.
"I have provided instructions inside. You can set up a grand array step by step. Even with an Array Master, if a Tier Six Array Master controls it, the array can have seventy to eighty percent of its power."
The few people hear this with joy, cupping their hands to Zhong Heng before leaving.
"Is this Jiuzhou?" The Cangyu Supreme’s eyes are puzzled.
"This is not Jiuzhou."
"Hmm?"
"This is only the Wanlang Mountains."
"In Jiuzhou, above Nascent Soul, there is Divinity Transformation; above Divinity Transformation, there is True Immortal; and above True Immortal, there is the Immortal Realm."
"The Void Realm is part of Jiuzhou, and merging it with Wanlang Mountains follows the natural order."
"You too can find your next path in Jiuzhou, such as... Divinity Transformation..."
The Cangyu Supreme’s pupils constrict.
Divinity Transformation, a concept he never heard of.
He originally thought Nascent Soul was the peak of the Path of Cultivation.
"I agree with you."
[You have recruited the Cangyu Supreme into your faction.]
[The seven Nascent Souls in the entire Void Realm are still too many; you plan to use the Cangyu Sword Sect as a base to draw in the three Righteous Dao Sects.]
[Use the Void Realm’s strength to conquer the Void Realm! Recruit one side and suppress the other; this is the best strategy.]
[With the support of the Cangyu Supreme, you quickly gain control of all the Cangyu Sword Sect’s power...]
