Chapter 489: Scheduling A Battle
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
Up above Grand Dominance City, three top experts of the Effulgent dominion appeared as incompatible as fire and water.
Ancestral Master Zhang said coldly, "Senior Brother Bear Mountain, Junior Brother Qin killed a being with heinous sins according to Master’s criterion for the second round of tests. Is there any fault in that? You came here obstreperously to our homeworld to shout so angrily. Your raging reaches the entire Great Chang world, letting countless beings hear it. Isn’t that going a little too overboard?"
"Overboard? Is this what you call overboard? Prestige Goat is dead!" said Bear Mountain angrily.
"Then, Senior Brother Bear Mountain, what do you want?" said Qin Yun coldly.
"Hmph!"
Bear Mountain sneered. "You have a sharp tongue, so I won’t engage in a war of words with you. You know very well what’s wrong with this matter. I previously came to you in a good-natured manner to ask you to spare demons. You agreed verbally, but then go and kill as you wished. Fine... the one you killed was a demon king with heinous sins. You even gained merit from that! I will not argue with you any further, but since you refuse to give face to us senior brothers and sisters, I’ll teach you the fact that between cultivators, it’s the fist that speaks!"
"Fist?" Ancestral Master Zhang frowned as he shouted, "Senior Brother Bear Mountain, what do you intend to do? Do you want to engage in fratricidal fighting? Aren’t you afraid of Master’s punishments?"
Fratricidal fighting was something Green Touring Palace, Jade Void Palace, and Eight Scenic Palace punished severely.
"I do not dare engage in fratricidal fighting." Bear Mountain looked at Qin Yun. "All I wish to do is to shake Junior Brother Qin to his senses. I want him to know that there is always someone stronger in the Three Realms! I do not want him disregard his senior brothers and sisters just because he is slightly capable."
"You want to shake me to my senses?" asked Qin Yun. "Might I know how you intend to do that?"
"One month from now, on the fifteenth day of the last month of the year. We shall visit Dao Exchange Platform." Bear Mountain looked at Qin Yun and sneered. "Junior Brother Qin, do you dare to face me?"
"Of course!" said Qin Yun coldly.
"Hahaha..." Bear Mountain roared with laughter. "You do have some guts. However, something has to be wagered when you spar at Dao Exchange Platform! We shall each offer a supreme-grade Numinous treasure. The supreme-grade Numinous treasure will be given to the victor, how about it? I know you obtained Prestige Goat’s supreme-grade Numinous treasure Yin Water Chains after killing him."
Qin Yun looked at Bear Mountain and said, "So you already have made plans. Fine, I’ll offer the supreme-grade Numinous treasure, Yin Water Chains. I wonder what item you will be offering?"
"I’ll offer the supreme-grade Numinous treasure, Five Fires Calabash," said Bear Mountain.
"A month from now on the fifteenth day of the last month of the year. Are we going according to the Effulgent Great World’s time?" asked Qin Yun.
"Of course! There are too many Small Worlds. Time flows at different speeds in different spaces. The Effulgent dominion’s time is naturally determined by Effulgent Great World’s time," said Bear Mountain.
"Then it’s settled."
"Alright." Bear Mountain sneered. "Prepare to give me the Yin Water Chains in a month. It is ultimately not yours, anyway."
"Senior Brother Bear Mountain, it’s best you touch your Five Fires Calabash a lot in the next month. You won’t be able to touch it anymore after our match," said Qin Yun.
"Hmph, do you think that others can’t harm you just because you mastered the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm and Heavenly Cycle Stellar Robes great divine powers?"
Bear Mountain said with a sneer as he turned.
A blurry light descended upon Bear Mountain before he vanished.
Qin Yun and Ancestral Master Zhang stood in midair as they took in this scene.
"Why did you bother with him?" Ancestral Master Zhang could not help but say. "What could he do to you if you did not accept the challenge? As for those peeved fellow demon disciples, you can simply ignore them! There is but a small number of demons that only care about their common race while disregarding what is right and wrong."
"They might not dare do anything because of their fear of the Green Touring Palace’s rules, but if I respond with cowardice, ignoring their provocations..." said Qin Yun coldly. "How can I allow these fellow demon disciples who can’t distinguish right from wrong treat to me as a coward?"
"Put up with them and you will be able to teach them a lesson in the future," said Ancestral Master Zhang.
"I can similarly teach him a lesson now," said Qin Yun.
"Don’t let your newfound powers go to your head."
Ancestral Master Zhang shouted, "That Bear Mountain is also a Green Touring Palace disciple. He used to be a subordinate of the demon’s sixth price during the Ancient Heavenly Courts era. He cultivated his body to the ninth firmament a long time ago. Many demon kings in the Effulgent dominion are willing to recognize him as their leader. That’s because he is sufficiently powerful! You should know that those that cultivate the Physical Establishing Sage to the ninth firmament are very difficult to handle."
"I know. I have fought Roc Fiend before," said Qin Yun.
"Bear Mountain is a lot stronger than Roc Fiend. One of him can fight five Roc Fiends," said Ancestral Master Zhang. "According to what he says, you have mastered the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm and Heavenly Cycle Stellar Robes great divine powers?"
Qin Yun nodded.
"The Heavenly Cycle Stellar Robes can only protect one’s body. Although the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm can trap enemies and control an area, it’s not very effective against Bear Mountain who cultivates in the Physical Establishing Sage... The Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm’s suppression has little influence on the terrifying force of the ninth firmament Physical Establishing Sage." Ancestral Master Zhang shook his head.
"I cultivate in the Sword Dao. I’m best at killing enemies."
"The most famous combat generals in the Three Realms are not sword immortals, but Physical Establishing Sages," said Ancestral Master Zhang. "In short, don’t be careless."
With that said, Ancestral Master Zhang took a step and left.
Qin Yun pondered for a moment.
Yes, although the Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage’s two Golden Immortal sword immortals had created the reputation of destroying all Dharma with a single sword in the Three Realms, the truly powerful combat generals of the Three Realms were always those who practiced the Physical Establishing Sage. The lineage created meant that were most suitable for combat. All of them were real pieces of work. Strikes from others might only rupture their skin, but one cleave from them would rob opponents of their lives.
"Bear Mountain? My Sword Dao is gradually approaching the pinnacle of the Skyimmortal realm. My improvements will decrease with time. This will be quite a suitable way of honing myself," thought Qin Yun.
Swoosh.
Qin Yun descended and returned to Qin Manor.
"Yun’er, where did that demon come from? Why was he that audacious?" Changlan asked immediately. His father, Qin Liehu, was also a little worried. Yi Xiao and Qin Yiyi looked at Qin Yun as well.
"It’s nothing," said Qin Yun. Following that, he swept his gaze into the distance. Many people were looking around and discussing in whispers far away in Qin Manor. The moment they saw him look over, they scattered away in fear.

Effulgent Great World.
Bear Mountain was inside a grand hall.
He sat high up on his throne with demon kings sitting to his side. Including Bear Mountain, there were a total of eleven demon kings gathered in the grand hall.
"Let us toast Brother Bear Mountain," said a tiger demon as he raised his cup.
"Brother Bear Mountain."
"Senior Brother Bear Mountain."
The demon kings raised their cups.
Bear Mountain lifted his cup and drank it in one gulp. He roared with laughter, "It’s still too early to celebrate. On the fifteenth, I will teach Qin Yun a lesson he will remember in front of all the fellow disciples of the Three Realms on Green Touring Palace’s Dao Exchange Platform. I will take back Prestige Goat’s supreme-grade Numinous treasure, the Yin Water Chains. Only then will it be time to celebrate."
"Yes, that should be the case."
"Let him embarrass himself among all his fellow disciples of the Three Realms."
"Prestige Goat’s Yin Water Chains must be retrieved."
The demon kings spoke freely.
"Brother Bear Mountain, do you have any reason for deliberately setting the date of his punishment a whole month away?" A scorpion demoness looked at Bear Mountain.
"The news needs time to spread." Bear Mountain held his wine cup and scoffed. "My Green Touring Palace fellow disciples are spread across the Three Realms. By giving the news time to spread, more fellow disciples will know of it and there will be more of them spectating the battle! The more spectators there are, the more relief I’ll feel when I teach that Qin Yun a lesson and embarrass him."
"Yes, that’s the way to relieve anger."
"Unfortunately, I have not been recruited into Green Touring Palace. I won’t be able to spectate the battle."
"Don’t worry. After I finish watching it, I’ll describe it to you, Sister."
These demon kings drank and chatted jovially. They were filled with confidence in Bear Mountain’s eventual defeat of Qin Yun. After all, they had also heard of the two great divine powers that Qin Yun had mastered. Although they were powerful, they posed little threat in front of Bear Mountain.
