Chapter 223 Destiny

When Lyu Liang, Donghuang Mufeng, and Fatty, reappeared in the Evil Blood Palace, they found themselves in the blood-red hall again, but this time, there was no blood pool there.

Within less than two breaths of time, a great many people arrived. The first comers were some strangers, and their leader seemed to be a middle-aged man, whose robe was embroidered with a three-headed dragon pattern.

Seeing him, Donghuang Mufeng cupped his hands and said respectfully, “Second Uncle, I’m sorry…” Then, he seemed to remember Youfu, because his eyes reddened, but he did not cry out.

This man was the master of the Donghuang family, Donghuang Zhi. Even in the Sanctuary, he was an influential figure.

Donghuang Zhi went over to him, clapped his shoulders, and said shortly, “Let’s go.” Then, he left the hall first.

Turning around, Donghuang Mufeng stared at Lyu Liang for a moment. Then, he cupped his hands and went out of the hall. After that, the people from the Heavenly Alliance also left immediately.

Fatty reverted to his original appearance, shrank in size, and infused into Lyu Liang’s body. Lyu Liang cupped his hands at all his acquaintances and said, “Words fail to express my gratitude for your kindness and care!” Then, he bowed to all the people around.

This time, Lyu Liang’s appearance amazed everyone again!

That was because, although he did not show any aura, he gave off an uncanny sense of Sword Essence and suppression.

“It seems that you have obtained an immense opportunity!” Zhu Yan punched Lyu Liang lightly, and then, began watching him with interest.

Since all the people present were Lyu Liang’s close friends, he told them frankly, with a smile, “Since I have yet to digest what I have learned, I will continue my cultivation in the Virtual Land for several days. After that, I will gather with you!”

Then, he cupped his hands and disappeared again.

Time flew by, and people realized that they had been tricked by Lyu Liang, because since that day, almost a year had passed.

Lyu Liang was in a hurry to continue the cultivation, because he wanted to master the manipulation method of the Spirit Swallowing Bugs. He knew that it would be a trump card, once it was well developed.

Lyu Liang’s cultivation was such that he could only control three bugs at a time. He once tried four, but when he started establishing the connection with them, a feeling of extreme exhaustion swept over him. After a breath of time, he had to stop such a devastating test. He knew that if he did not stop, he would faint instantly.

During this period, he also broke through to the next cultivation level. The Weapon Incantation had strengthened not only the Kunwu Sword, but also Lyu Liang himself. Now, it was the best time to break through to the Late-stage of Tao Master!

Following White’s instruction, Lyu Liang took the Tianxuan Holy Rattan pill. When he swallowed it, a strong surge of aura swept over him, and a sense of brightness appeared in his mind. However, unlike before, he could clearly feel the outside world this time.

………………………………

After one and a half years, everyone in the Evil Blood Palace heard a sharp blast, following which, they felt an uncanny sense of suppression. Fortunately, the owner of such a horrific aura was Lyu Liang.

When Lyu Liang showed up again, he had obtained the cultivation at the Late-stage of Tao Master. What was more, the Kunwu Sword behind him seemed to be covered by flames, and exuded the unparalleled Sword Essence. It was now more powerful than a normal Innate Spirit Treasure now.

This time, Lyu Liang could finally learn something from his friends.

All the things that happened in the Million Buddhist Sect were, apparently, a trap set by an extremely shrewd person. His entire plan was elaborate, leaving no evidence on the scene.

However, after hearing Liu Jiahao’s description, he was concerned only about the masked female, who had blue hair and came from the Immortal World! She reminded him of Mu Xiaozi, but they had different identities and hair colors.

The masked female was the personal maid of Flying Dragon, the identity which Mu Xiaozi definitely could not have. After all, Flying Dragon stayed in the Divine Ancestor Palace, where a Rogue Cultivator was not allowed in.

When Lyu Liang discovered the identity of Flying Dragon, he was more than surprised, and was even rendered speechless.

He was Liu Jiahao and Liu Jiawen’s biological brother, the next successor of the Liu family! As such, Lyu Liang eliminated his doubts at once.

As such, he could only play it by ear. After all, Mu Xiaozi was not the only person to possess the Blue-soul Blood! Thinking about it in this way, Lyu Liang did not ponder on it anymore. However, what he saw in Tianfo Mountain left a deep impression on him.

After hearing Liu Jiawen’s description of the battle in Evil Blood Palace, Lyu Liang frowned, and had mixed feelings. Learning about how the people tried to save him, he had no better way to express his gratitude, but to bear their kindness in his mind forever.

Among these people, Huangfu Gang was the only one whom Lyu Liang felt indebted to.

In the beginning, he did treat Huangfu Gang like an enemy, because of Feng Xiu’s warning, and after an incident that happened in the civilization, remained in his memory.

But when Anye Tianlong was killed, Huangfu Gang confessed about all the things he had done. Then, due to their similar pedigrees, they became temporary allies, and were no longer enemies.

According to Liu Jiawen’s description, Huangfu Gang had tried very hard to save him! Huangfu Gang had exerted all his strength, and without the bearded man’s help, he might have been badly wounded.

Then, Huangfu Gang left secretly and left only a Voice-messaging Talisman, reminding Lyu Liang to go to the Devil Realm, according to their plan, after he left the Star Space.

No matter who Huangfu Gang was, no matter what secret plan he had, Lyu Liang was determined to go to the Devil Realm, to save his mother. However dangerous it would be, he would certainly complete this task!

Then, when people asked what opportunity Lyu Liang had obtained in the Star Space, he just smiled and said smartly, “You have told me that I should keep my trump card a secret, so I can’t tell you what it is. What I can assure you, is that I can rival any Heavenly Master now!”

Zhu Yu and Zheng Xuan were safe, and through the Ethereal Immortal-Sound Shell, Liu Jiawen had learned that they would also be going to the Devil Realm. This news made Lyu Liang overjoyed, and at the same time, he began thinking whether he should ask them for help, to save the people from the Anye Clan.

After chatting for a while, all of them left. Just then, Lyu Liang found that Nie Qingyun was not around. After asking someone, he learned that this guy was afraid of lagging too much behind him, and was continuing his cultivation in a mysterious place, where he had obtained an opportunity. And he was told that this guy would not come out, until he reached the Peak of the Almighty Immortal!

“Oh yes, how can the Evil Blood Palace ignore the suppression power? And what is the Star Space, exactly?” After returning to the temporary cave residence, Lyu Liang could not help asking White.

“The suppression power exists in all the worlds, but its degrees are different. The Star Space is one of the mysterious places, where the suppression power can be ignored. For example, in an ordinary world, without the assistance of magic treasures, one’s highest cultivation is at the Peak of Almighty Immortal. The Evil Blood Palace itself is a Star Space. Here, the cultivation is suppressed at the Peak of Supreme Master. As for the Star Space, you only need to know that it is a rare place of immense opportunities.” After saying that, White began napping.

Actually, Lyu Liang had many questions to ask, for example, what kind of people used to live in the Star Space, which apparently had been a residential place? Why hadn’t he heard about Spirit Swallowing Bugs before…

Evidently, White did not want to talk much about this topic, so Lyu Liang just gave up and continued cultivating the Tai-Yang and Tai-Yin Qi. Previously, each of the clouds had been as large as a fist, but now, nearly half of their contents had been consumed.

When Liu Jiawen returned the Dreamy Crystal Vessel, there were no more Spiritual Qi Bombs on it. After thinking through, Lyu Liang made two bombs with some Tai-Yin Qi, in case any incidents should take place.

Besides, Liu Jiawen brought him news about the blood dragons.

The mother had returned to the forbidden area of Remote Antiquity. The little blood dragon, who was eager to repay Lyu Liang’s kindness, was now having a closed-door meditation. It was said that, once he reached the primary level of Ancient Beast, he would look for Lyu Liang.

The only thing Lyu Liang was worried about was that, after the war, he might have to destroy the Dreamy Crystal Vessel. After all, he had sworn the oath that, when the war ended, he would ruin all the Civilization Mechas from the seal.

………………………………

In the Earth-Sea Territory of the Chaotic World, Nie Qingyun was doing his cultivation, with his eyes closed, in a mysterious cave. After a moment, as he let out a roar, the spirit of a golden sword appeared above his head, and promptly infused into his body.

With a howl, Nie Qingyun opened his eyes. He rose to have a good look at himself, and then, he said with a laugh, “These divine fruits are so miraculous! What a pity that I’ve eaten them all. Fortunately, my cultivation has approached the Tao Master level. Haha, Master will be surprised at my progress!”

When he walked out of the cave, he seemed to realize something and turning around, he shouted, “Thank you, although I don’t know who you are! It’s my great fortune to obtain such an immense opportunity!” Then, he knelt to make several kowtows, before he hummed and left.

After a long while, a soft, sorrowful sigh came from the cave, “How can I accept your gratitude…”

………………………………

10 days later, the allied forces of the Chaotic World began heading for the Devil Realm.

Before that, the two sides had tried to negotiate. According to the Immortal Allies, the four great families of the Devil Realm were the chief culprits of the war, so they needed to be dealt a severe punishment!

It required all the core figures of the four families to accept the confinement in the headquarters of the Immortal Allies, for 10 thousand years!

In theory, the punishment was light enough. For the four families, 10 thousand years was merely a short period, and they would not even get hurt.

But even so, the Devil Realm replied maliciously, “Fight, or piss off!”

As such, the negotiations failed.

If so, fight!

Lyu Liang, Liu Jiahao, Liu Jiawen, Yang Ying, and Wen Ying did not follow the main troops. Instead, after receiving Zhu Yu’s message, they planned to meet him in a small village at the edge of the Devil Realm of the Canglan Territory.

When they met again, they greeted each other warmly.

A day later, Huangfu Gang and Nie Qingyun arrived, and the latter’s horrific cultivation surprised everyone, including Lyu Liang.

After a short discussion, they decided to wait until the allied forces began fighting against the Devil Realm. At that time, they could then seize the chance and finish their respective task, amidst the chaos.

Zhu Yu planned to search for the Tai-Ah Sword, but he decided to help Lyu Liang deal with the affairs of the Anye Clan first. As he said, anyway, he would offend those from the Devil Realm, when he found the sword.

After a moment, they worked out a plan and left gradually. When Nie Qingyun and Zhu Yu passed by each other, they glanced at one another subconsciously.

It was such an unexpected scene that started a journey of foreordination across countless days.
