Chapter 2181: 937, is he crazy? He’s looking for death!
Between heaven and earth was shaken, the space before me began to stir into illusion.
All here, was nothing but an illusion; the foundation of the illusion stemmed from the remnants of the Yuming Sword Sect’s essence from countless years ago, as well as the gathered vestiges of the fallen powerhouses’ souls.
Beyond this was the powerful energy of the Sword Sovereign of Ten Thousand Beasts propelling it.
The Sword Sovereign of Ten Thousand Beasts, Wang Zhenhai, had once been a practitioner of the Heavenly Secret Realm; stepping into the Heavenly Secret Realm allowed him to obscure the divine secrets and alter the scenes between heaven and earth, creating an illusion so convincing that one could fall into it without discerning its falsehood.
“Impossible, how could Liao Shisan have the courage to suppress the beast tide?”
“Back then, it was because he dared not face the beast tide head-on that our master perished, and I was lost beneath the ground, ultimately…”
An aged whisper sounded by Han Muye’s ear.
This voice was filled with confusion, unwillingness, and an anger that was hard to contain.
The voice of the Sword Sovereign of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Han Muye’s expression was calm as he looked at everything before him.
The scenes within the illusion shifted as he took steps forward.
Liao Fan and Wang Zhenhai each led three thousand disciples toward the Land of Exotic Beast Seal, with Han Muye joining them.
Among those who came were also more than three hundred cultivators from various sects around, plus twenty inspectors from the Immortal Dynasty.
Each time the beast tide was suppressed, the sect forces from all around were to participate.
Inside a four-wheeled hovering vehicle, Han Muye and Wang Zhenhai sat side by side; opposite them was the silent Liao Fan, along with two Daoists in green robes.
The green robes on these two flowed without wind, and jade crowns on their heads gleamed with golden luster.
A faint power of heaven and earth emanated from the two of them.
These two were the inspectors of the Immortal Dynasty responsible for defending against the beast tide this time.
“According to the rules of the Immortal Dynasty, any gains and merit tokens during the suppression of the beast tide are counted double.”
“I’ve heard that you two are the strongest contenders for the next Sect Master of the Yuming Sword Sect.”
The speaking Daoist’s gaze fell onto Wang Zhenhai and Liao Fan, his face bearing a hint of a smile.
The other Daoist glanced at Han Muye, who was looking indifferent, and did not speak.
Upon hearing the Daoist’s words, Liao Fan opened his eyes and looked at Wang Zhenhai in front of him.
Wang Zhenhai laughed heedlessly and also looked toward Liao Fan.
“Before coming here, this inspector had already discussed with your Sect Master Zhu Yunxu.”
“This time, since the Immortal Dynasty could not send a large army to suppress the beast tide, we need the Yuming Sword Sect to be the main force.”
“As long as you can hold off the beast tide, the Immortal Dynasty will give additional rewards to your sect.”
Immortal Dynasty’s substantial rewards!
As an inspector, whatever he says represents the Immortal Dynasty.
Since he mentioned substantial rewards, then they would indeed be generous, the kind that guarding a sect wouldn’t even dare to dream of.
The Immortal Dynasty possessed the topmost resources within the entire Great Pantheon Plane; whether it was materials or heritage, they were incomparable to any sect.
Immortal Dynasty’s reward ensures that whomever takes control of the Yuming Sword Sect will see substantial progress in power, and their cultivation abilities will definitely reach another level of height.
Liao Fan and Wang Zhenhai exchanged a smile, their battle intent surging.
The two inspectors looked at each other as well.
When Liao Fan, Wang Zhenhai, and Han Muye were about to leave, Han Muye’s figure paused for a moment before returning to the flying vehicle.
“May I know why the two inspectors requested Han Zhexian to return?”
Just as he was about to leave, the two inspectors had requested his return through a message.
“During the suppression of the exotic beasts, we will select a group of people with outstanding merits to join the Heaven Suppressing Guard.”
“We know your cultivation talent is good, and that you don’t really have a foundation in the Yuming Sword Sect, so perform well this time. If you acquire enough merit tokens, we can take you to the Immortal Dynasty.”
The two Immortal Dynasty inspectors spoke to Han Muye in soft voices.
To join the Sky Guard?
Han Muye had some understanding of this status.
It was an army organized by the Immortal Dynasty, absorbing powerful individuals from various sects and led by powerful beings from within the dynasty.
This army was not much constrained by the Immortal Dynasty’s rules; in fact, it is an army established by the dynasty for the sects, specifically to handle many matters that the regular army could not deal with publically.
They might be involved in both savory and unsavory affairs.
However, overall speaking, the Sky Guard had top-notch treatment, and many experts were among them with ample support and backup within the Immortal Dynasty.
Many children of the military nobility from within the Immortal Dynasty served within this Sky Guard.
“Originally, Wang Zhenhai was the one promised the opportunity to join the Sky Guard, wasn’t he?”
Han Muye whispered softly.
This illusion is a combination of the memory and power of the Sword Sovereign of Ten Thousand Beasts, and the promise made by the Inspectors must be from the original memory scenes.
“No, they didn’t make such a promise to me at the time.”
The voice of the Sword Sovereign of Ten Thousand Beasts rose.
“They told me that if I couldn’t hold back the mutated beasts, the Immortal Dynasty would punish the Yuming Sword Sect, and the entire sect’s legacy would be destroyed.”
No promise at that time?
A glint of clarity flashed in Han Muye’s eyes as he fixed his gaze upon the two before him.
Heavenly Secret Realm!
These two Inspectors have surpassed life and death and reached the Horizon Realm; thus, their actions are no longer controlled by time and illusions.
Even if they had perished in that beast tide all those years ago, their will still lingers, allowing them to make their own choices.
This is the Heavenly Secret Realm.
As long as heaven and earth do not perish, Heaven’s Secret does not perish.
“Alright,” Han Muye responded and turned to leave.
——————————————
The chaotic land of heaven and earth.
A valley shrouded in intertwined mist.
Exposed green stones stained with blood and scars of war.
This is the Land of the Exotic Beast Seal, where the Underground Exotic Beasts are sealed.
All intermediate disciples of the Yuming Sword Sect stood outside the valley, their expressions solemn.
Han Muye stood shoulder to shoulder with Liao Fan and Wang Zhenhai, squinting his eyes.
Here, he could feel the intertwining and trembling of the power of heaven and earth.
In this place, even the Origin Power of the Great Pantheon Plane was hard to control.
This also meant that beyond this place was an exit from the Great Pantheon Plane.
Of course, the area across was where the mutated beasts resided, and anybody who went there would collapse.
But for Han Muye, what he sought was not survival in that otherworldly land, but the Origin of that land!
To borrow a fragment of heaven and earth, transform it into his own Qiankun, and step into the Qiankun Realm!
He had already congregated three hundred and sixty Origin worlds of the Primordial Universe of Qiankun, merely waiting for the filling of the Origin World.
This was where his cultivation would ascend!
“Buzz——”
Above the valley ahead, cracks began to appear in the sky.
Behind the cracks, countless bodies of mutated beasts could be seen shoving against each other.
A vast and violent aura burst from behind the cracks, carrying a ferocity that shook one’s soul.
Those were all beasts of at least the Dao Breaking Realm!
“Brothers, following me, Wang Zhenhai, through hundreds of years, this might be the most perilous time,” Wang Zhenhai said as he stepped forward, a wild smile on his face, “Are you afraid?”
Behind him, a series of hearty laughs ensued.
“Senior brother, we’re not afraid of anything.”
“Senior brother, if you can’t do it, let me lead the charge.”
“Stop talking nonsense, let’s just fight.”
The sound of swords being unsheathed filled the air.
Their blood essence rose like columns of smoke, colliding and stirring with the surrounding mist.
On the other side, Liao Fan shook his head, his face showing a degree of gravity.
“Xu Feng, take a team of Dao Extinguishing Realm disciples to support the left flank.”
“Xu Zhi, you and the three elders form a sword array, providing a foundation for the disciples.”
While one side was brimming with battle intent, the other was orderly and composed.
The two Inspectors nodded and turned their heads to look at Han Muye standing in the forefront.
“What, what is he going to do!”
“Has he gone mad, is he seeking death!”
