Chapter 276: The Jade Lake Sacred Leader Is Really Troublesome

After the void collapsed, a dark void pathway appeared in front of Shen Tian.

A purple crystal-like pagoda appeared from the pathway and floated in the sky.

It was about 100,000 feet tall, and it had blood-red cracks all over its walls. The pagoda’s sides were well blended into the surroundings, and there were rainbow color lights around it.

As the purple pagoda appeared, the sounds of fiends and celestials fighting and attacking one another came from the void. One could feel this intense aura from outside of the void.

At the same time, terrifying scenes were shown in the void. It was a magnificent battlefield, where gigantic, bloody dragons fell from the sky with their wings torn apart, the statue of a golden Buddha was crumbling away...

The thick smell of blood permeated the area as countless cracks appeared, shooting out pitch-black turbulent waves.

The killing intention was even stronger than the Lifeless King’s Shura Slash.

“It’s the God of War Pagoda!”

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus and the rest were initially worried about Shen Tian. However, they did not expect that the pagoda would appear since it was thousands of miles away.

So, Senior Brother Sacred Leader knew this would happen and prepared the pagoda beforehand? Heavenly Venerable White Lotus looked at the Sacred Leader, her eyes glowing. My Senior Brother is so smart!

Dark flames covered the Shura Blade, and the Lifeless King said with confidence, “You want to stop me with a dirty pagoda? Even if it’s an Immortal artifact, it won’t be strong enough!”

The void was collapsing, the natural laws were changing, and Yin and Yang were reversing too!

At the place where the blade hit the pagoda, the entire region looked like a black hole, as though the entire space had been destroyed. Not even light could escape from the impact.

The impact had sent the debris flying around at incredible speed.

Shen Tian had no choice but to back off to avoid the damage, even with the Longyuan Divine Armor.

...

On the other hand, Seven Kill, Broken Army, and Ravenous Wolf had been defeated too.

They were ordinary Sect Masters of the Evil Spirit Sect and Sage cultivators that had undergone one to three tribulations. At the same time, some of their heritage cultivation techniques were restricted by cultivation level. Thus, they were no match against the sacred grounds’ same-level cultivators.

Not only that, but their foundations were also badly damaged when the All Are Equal Domain they had cast was broken. Their power was way weaker than a Sage now.

Even a higher-tier Heavenly Venerable like Scarlet Dance could defeat them easily, not to mention there were two sacred leaders around.

The three of them were defeated in no time.

Only the Lifeless King who had transformed into the Shura Blade was still struggling in the battle.

Boom!

Suddenly, the turbulence stopped, and a purple light appeared from the ‘black hole’.

The God of War Pagoda appeared and stood firmly in mid-air.

As the pagoda appeared, the black turbulence calmed quickly, and the Lifeless King disappeared.

“What? How is that possible? The king was defeated!?”

Seven Kill, Broken Army, and Ravenous Wolf were shocked.

The Lifeless King, one of the four great Evil Spirit Sect kings, was defeated by a pagoda even when he had sacrificed all his cultivation?

Was that even possible?

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground could do that?

At that moment, all of them felt regretful. Had they known this would be the end result, they would not have agreed to attack the sacred ground alliance.

This decision cost them their lives!

“This guy is really a genius. He discovered the Mighty Prowess of Three Buddhas on his own! If he was born in the Celestial World, he would have caused an impact to the world!” Ye Qingcang said to Shen Tian. “Sadly, it was not his lucky day today. Messing with you was his biggest mistake.”

Shen Tian wiped the sweat off his forehead.

What does it mean by ‘It was not his lucky day today’ and ‘Messing with you was his biggest mistake’?

I’m just a Golden Core weakling!

How is it my fault that this Sage died?

Shen Tian asked, “Old Man Ye, what is the Mighty Prowess of Three Buddhas?”

Ye Qingcang replied calmly, “It’s similar to the Blood God Sutra you have. But it’s not so defensive.

“Only monks with great talent in the way of Buddha could possibly cultivate the Mighty Prowess of Three Buddhas.

“With this Mighty Prowess, one could form the ‘past self’ and ‘future self’ apart from the ‘current self’. All of them possess great strength at the same time.

“The difference with yours is that after your Blood God’s Son is destroyed, it can be regenerated pretty quickly. The loss is minimum.

“Unfortunately for him, I destroyed his ‘past self’. He needs at least 1,000 years before he can recover.

“Also, if any of the three bodies is destroyed, his original cultivation levels will drop too.”

Shen Tian was stunned for a moment. “What? That’s quite useless. Why is the Mighty Prowess this weak?”

Ye Qingcang rolled his eyes and replied, “Not all Mighty Prowesses are used to escape like your Blood God Sutra.

“The Mighty Prowess of Three Buddhas required challenging training. One has to learn the past, current, and future parts at the same time.

“Thus, when needed, the three bodies can be merged into one, and his strength can increase to the next level.

“Take this Lifeless something, for example. His original talent is at best at the level of surviving the tribulation for less than 20 times.

“After he completed cultivating all the three bodies and with a bit of luck, it would be possible for him to survive the 24th tribulation and became a pseudo-Emperor.”

Oh!

Shen Tian revealed a shocked expression, although he had no idea what that supposed to mean.

He did not know how hard it was to survive 24 lightning tribulations as he was just a weak Golden Core cultivator.

Wait a minute!

Shen Tian realized something, and his mouth started to twitch. He was on the verge of tears. “Old Man Ye, you mean... This is just one of the bodies?”

Ye Qingcang nodded. “Of course! If not, how could I beat him so easily? If his actual body was here, the outcome might be different since I’m still very worn out.”

Just one of the Might Prowess-formed bodies could put the two sacred grounds, six grotto-heavens, and 12 blessed-lands into such a predicament?

And this doppelganger had the power of a Stage Five Great Safe at that.

God knows how strong he could be if his actual body was here!

Shen Tian felt a creepy chill course through his spine. It seemed like Shen Tian was the one that had messed with the wrong person.

Shen Tian asked carefully, “Old Man Ye, will this Lifeless King hate me because his doppelganger was destroyed?”

Ye Qingcang smiled and said, “No worries. Based on his cultivation level, there’s no way he hates you. He will just find a chance and finish you off. Don’t think too highly of yourself.”

Shen Tian, “???”

What the hell? Can you finish your words in one sentence?

Shen Tian was on the brink of tears. “I’m not the one responsible for this raid.”

Ye Qingcang snorted. “If I’m not wrong, this Lifeless something planned to set the All Are Equal Domain on the Heavenly Demon day.

“Then, he could have killed all the cultivators in this raid and used the blood essence of those Supremacies and Heavenly Venerables to feed them to the Hurricane Lily King.

“Once the Hurricane Lily King blossomed, he could absorb it. Thus, his cultivation level would increase drastically.

“If he was lucky, it would be possible for him to survive another one or two lightning tribulations in a short duration.”

After the purple God of War Pagoda flew out of the void, it did not immediately return to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. Instead, it hovered on top of the Immeasurable Ancient State.

It let out a strong suction force and started absorbing the power of the Netherworld Yellow Springs domain.

At the same time, Ye Qingcang continued to chat with Shen Tian.

“By right, it was very likely for his plan to work. After all, the cultivation levels of all the trapped people in the Netherworld Yellow Springs domain were suppressed. Well, other than Zhang Longyuan, that is.”

Shen Tian was petrified. “Wait... What? Master’s cultivation level was not suppressed!?”

Ye Qingcang laughed. “What do you think? Your Master is way more clever than you. You just don’t know about it!

“I can guarantee you that he must have predicted most of what happened in the raid. There’s hardly any real danger out there.

“You are the only one who charged forward without thinking. So what if you reaped some benefits from this raid? There are so many people better than you outside of this domain.

“For example, after the All Are Equal Domain was destroyed if I did not help you block the Shura Blade...”

Shen Tian said with fear, “Then... I’d be dead?”

Ye Qingcang replied, “Not really. Zhang Longyuan is watching you all the time. If something was really going to happen to you, he would not sit there and do nothing.

“Anyway, although I don’t like that guy, you have to learn more from him. He’s your Master, after all.

“If a tree stands out from the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind. There are too many talented cultivators who lost their lives because they showed off.

“Why did the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground fall 10,000 years ago? Why was Chu Longhe being attacked? Even the God Of War Palace—”

Ye Qingcang sighed as he thought of past events. “It is the best to stay low and develop yourself first!”

...

These words enlightened Shen Tian.

I’m puffed up.

I’ve been carried away with my ability.

Just because the sacred ground is backing me, just because I’m strong compared to my peers.

Just because my black halo is gone, and it is starting to turn red.

Just because I have many fans around. I’m too self-satisfied.

I’m too young and frivolous.

It was natural for a talented cultivator to feel proud of themselves sometimes.

However, after listening to what Ye Qingcang had to say, Shen Tian realized that he was very wrong.

He was not stable enough.

If not, he would not have messed around with people like the Lifeless King.

Shen Tian said helplessly, “So what you mean is that this Lifeless King will hate me, and he’ll kill me?”

Ye Qingcang laughed. “That’s too extreme. His past self has been destroyed, so he will be exhausted.

“He needs all three selves to be strong. When one of them is destroyed, the original body will suffer some damage too. It will take time for him to heal.

“Also, do not think too highly of the Evil Spirit Sect. They made huge sacrifices to make this ambush.

“It is not an easy feat to launch attacks on you guys.

“If not, the 12 sacred grounds would not have any talented cultivators left.”

Although Ye Qingcang made it sound easy, Shen Tian was still worried.

What if something happens? What if the Lifeless King does not attack me himself? Instead, he could send someone else to take my life!

That’s not good!

I have to play it safe!

I will stay in the sacred ground for seclusion until I become a Sage!

I’ll only go out to share the fortuitous opportunities with others.

Yes, that’s the plan!

...

When Shen Tian made up his mind, the God of War Pagoda had absorbed most of the Netherworld Yellow Springs domain.

The rest of the alliance searched the ground carefully for any other threats.

Although the Seven Kill Sect Sage and Heavenly Venerables were all captured, there were still Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators. They were very familiar with the Immeasurable Ancient State and could hide in it very well. The alliance had to search carefully for them.

Most of the time, Supremacies and Perfected Ones would be the ones doing this job.

It was a reward for them too.

After all, those Evil Spirit Sect members carried good treasures too.

Although most of the loot could not be used, they could sell the items and make some money.

The entire palace that had survived thousands of years would have plenty of good things around.

Also, by giving the heads of the Evil Spirit Sect members and their treasures to their respective sects, they would be rewarded.

The reward would be very generous!

...

“Thank you, Divine Firmament Saint, for making this raid a success.” The Jade Lake Sacred Leader appeared and said, “Heros come from the young generation, indeed.”

Then, she took a jade token out of her pocket. The words “Jade Lake” were imprinted on the token.

“This is the Jade Lake Sage Token. With this, you can enter our sacred ground freely and enjoy our most prestigious treatment. Please keep it.

“If you need anything in the future, you can just show this token to Jade Lake’s members.

“As long as it is within their capability, they will help you like how they obey me.”

Jade Lake Sage Token!?

Everyone on site was shocked.

According to rumors, the Sonic Thunder’s Buddhist Lord had gifted Shen Tian the Sonic Thunder Sage Token before he had entered seclusion.

Everyone was very jealous of Shen Tian as the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground was one of the strongest sacred grounds out there. It was a dream for everyone to make friends with the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground.

However, most people still preferred the Jade Lake Sage Token.

Why?

The reason was very simple.

Both granted entrance to their sacred grounds freely, and one could ask their members for service.

On the one hand, it was monks.

On the other hand, it was... beautiful girls.

How would you choose?

Apart from dense people, everyone would choose the Jade Lake Sage Token!

...

The Jade Lake Sacred Leader’s body was covered in heavenly aura. She stretched out her slender hand from the light and passed the token to Shen Tian with a smile.

“If you are free, you are welcome at our Jade Lake Sacred Ground anytime. We have plenty of scenic locations, and I think you will be pleased.”

Shen Tian felt the weird looks from the crowd and looked at Jade Lake Sacred Leader. He was at a loss for words. He felt that this token was hot potato!

Shouldn’t you secretly pass such a token to me?

How can I keep this when everyone else is looking!?

I feel like my life will be greatly disturbed if I keep this...

Sigh...

This Jake Lake Sacred Leader is really troublesome!
