Chapter 325 Dark Orders, The Guardian
Yang Lujia just didn't want to delve deeper on the Demon Garden that his first disciple knew about. It was his own story and stepping into it would mean disrupting the natural flow of his reincarnation. After all, his belief towards of Lin Diyu was more inclined to the latter being reincarnated from once-a-powerful figure in the past.
Arriving upfront of the so-called world, Yang Lujia was able to locate the World Core that was filled with darkness. His eyesight could not be any more correct. As he was more powerful than any of them at present, he already this even when he was away from this broken world. Moreover, with the aid of Fortuniel, these clues were further solidified as evidence that he was right.
"This broken world is a bit interesting. I just have one more question to ask you. How is it that the Fiend Emperor Palace survived inside this broken world when there were several stronger creatures residing within it?"
Yang Lujia did not miss the fact that the broken world had produced terrifying beings inside. They were beings whose combat prowess, as he presumed, was beyond what a peak cultivator of Da Shikong could exert. That was why he was wondering the way for the Fiend Emperor Palace to survive from generation to generation.
'Right on spot. How did he also know about this?' Xie Dou sighed. He knew that it was futile to think of things like these anymore in front of an anomaly that could not be explained—and even regarded this anomaly as more terrifying than this broken world.
With that, he continued to explain, ignoring the things he heard from whose accompanying him at the moment.
"Actually, this is why the Fiend Emperor Palace was able to establish peacefully, despite the constant nagging from the Holy Light Palace and the Dragon Emperor Palace that seemed to hate us to the bones in the past. The past Holy Light Emperor might be merciful but he was disdainful of people who use darkness as a tool to strengthen ourselves..."
"Just get to the point," Yang Lujia interrupted midway.
Xie Dou gulped and suddenly pulled something out from this storage device. This 'something' was diamond in shape and was pitch black. Moreover, on its surface was a word inscribed: "Dark Order". They all speculated that it must be the name of this thing.
However, what accentuated the situation more was when it was pulled out, it quickly made sizzling sounds—like something was burning in excitement. Later on, this "Dark Order" jumped from Xie Dou's grasp and headed towards Lin Diyu.
Yes, Lin Diyu. Yang Lujia's very first disciple.
"What's happening?" Yang Lujia was dumbfounded and was now even more convinced that Lin Diyu was a reincarnation of someone very powerful—and that bigshot was kind of like the owner of this broken world. Even Fortuniel didn't know anything about this. The system only said that it would need an upgrade in order to know facts like these—moreover, this wasn't even a certain thing when Fortuniel practically reminded him that his assistance might not reach that height or yet to achieve it.
Riggling while staying afloat in front of Lin Diyu, this diamond-shaped "Dark Order" seemed to be dancing in delight—as though it was a dog that had been waiting for its owner to come back from work.
"Master!" Lin Diyu felt helpless as he didn't know anything about this as well.
"Don't worry. That thing might be beneficial to you." Yang Lujia then threw a look at Xie Dou whose face was looking bitter.
After all, it was the Fiend Emperor Palace's precious items that could let them go inside the broken world, scot-free—of course, only at the moment when this world opened by itself.
"Alright!" Lin Diyu need not doubt about his master's words. He knew, that out of all the people in the world, his master was the most cautious person he had ever met. He just didn't know how his master's personality became like this—but it was a good thing for him and his little junior brothers and sisters.
Having learned this lesson from his master, he was able to develop under the covers and pretentious eyes of other people.
Lin Diyu stretched out his hand and held the diamond-shaped "Dark Order" in his hand. Later on, this "Dark Order" suddenly made its way into his own body, settling completely inside his dantian.
"Give him these "Dark Orders". Don't worry. I will compensate you properly for your losses," Yang Lujia said, feeling the need to say this as he was still a bit guilty of extorting from other people's property.
However, thinking that this was Lin Diyu's property in the first place, before he was reborn into this world, Yang Lujia's guilt practically vanished into thin air. He just didn't want someone to think that he owed them, just like how he was brought up by his parents—to give back when he already had the ability to.
"Alright, Lin Diyu, you may remain inside your world," Yang Lujia casually said as he looked at his disciple. "Don't give me that look. You should study these "Dark Orders" as they may be related to you—and who you really are. Moreover, when we enter the broken world later, I don't want any accidents to happen to you—knowing that you might trigger something disastrous."
Lin Diyu felt defeated by his master's explanation as he sighed. 'Master's still the cautious person I have met.'
Therefore, he could only nod after Yang Lujia took out the "Blood World" that he once conjured in the past when he killed literally an entire army with a wave of his hand, without blinking.
"You..." Xie Dou, on the other hand, was frightened by this sight. "You... you... How do you have a world that has the same characteristics as the broken world?"
"It's just a world I made with the conjugation of several rules. It was only a theory at first, but I realized that I could make something like a world like this." Yang Lujia looked at the broken world and fell into contemplation. "Alright, let's open up this broken world—"
"Wait! The time is not ripe yet! We have to wait before it will open, otherwise—"
"With me here, this broken world is just as its name suggests—a broken one," Yang Lujia cut him off and looked towards this broken world.
Actually, if one was not a cultivator, he or she would not be able to locate the broken world with just the naked eyes. In Yang Lujia's eyes, the intricacies of the rules of darkness weaved into thin lines that literally formed a boundary to create this broken world—were exposed to his very eyes. To him, this boundary was as brittle as glass when exposed to heat.
Xie Dou was speechless, especially when he saw Yang Lujia stretching out his hand to touch the darkness in front of them. "These rules of darkness is very pure—just like my disciple's. However, they were not as pure as the one I have made..."
When he said, he seemed he could not be any prouder of flaunting his self-created world.
"Open," he muttered as instantly the airflow around them became dry—as though everything was coming to a standstill. Even his disciples and the other spectators held their breaths for the first time—not daring to breathe at all.
Soon enough, when Yang Lujia clenched his stretched-out hand into a fist, the so-called broken world was...
"What the fuck?!" Xie Dou was shocked to his core as he saw what just transpired.
Yang Lujia was also surprised of himself.
"Who dares to destroy the boundaries of the master's broken world!" a deafening voice rang across the different properties of the Fiend Emperor Palace. "You have a death wish! Kill!"
"This world seems to have a guardian, and he can actually summon and make these dark-looking creatures to do what he bids," Yang Lujia said, understanding the situation.
At this moment, however, everyone was flabbergasted as although the rules of darkness permeating from the exposed broken world—only brushed past their bodies—as if something was protecting them.
'It must be master!'
Yang Lujia's disciples stared fierily at their master who was at the center of everything.
'He's so powerful!'
"You there," Yang Lujia's voice suddenly echoed in the surroundings, stopping all the dark-looking creatures in their tracks. "You're not in any way helpful. Just shut up. I'm trying to locate the correct location of this broken world's core. You're just a nuisance. If this is a broken world, then you're also a broken guardian."
The guardian: "..."
Everyone in the surroundings: "..."
The dark-looking creatures: "..."
