Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery-Chapter 2124 - 2091: Great Sun Venerable (Supplement for Yesterday)
Heavenly Beast Garden.
Within the Spiritual Vein beneath the Heavenly River, amidst countless silver bells, the Heavenly Beast Venerable, Seven Kills Venerable, Dan Tian Venerable, and Thunder Sun Venerable, four Supreme beings of the Human Race, sit together cultivating.
They have not separated by even half a step, constantly vigilant. Between them, there are very tight Formation Method connections, moving one affects the whole, as close as brothers in the same Sect.
This state has persisted for many years.
The Supreme from Du’e Fumo Temple has disappeared, having died on the battlefield many years ago. Now, like the entire sect’s cultivators, he has become a Puppet Treasure meticulously cared for by the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Butterfly Clan, while the remaining Supremes are like startled birds with no internal conflicts left.
The distinctions between new and ancient Immortal Sects, Righteous Dao and Diabolism, have completely vanished.
Who knows what they’ve experienced over the years, with each appearing extremely aged, hair gray, skin dry, and their Life Energy nearing its end.
This is too normal.
When the Taoist disciples emerged, the Supreme beings were already old, and after more than two hundred thousand years, coupled with the vicious battlefield battles consuming their Primordial Energy, for them to have lasted until now is already impressive.
The next generation of sect Taoist disciples has been nurtured, but whether the emerging next generation of Supreme beings can support the sect remains unknown.
Could it be that the sect is destined for extinction...
Many of the Supreme beings are troubled but remain silent.
The Heavenly Beast Venerable, like an Elder Nong, silently gazes at the next generation of Taoist disciples cultivating nearby, his eyes somewhat dazed.
All four of these Taoist disciples have reached the Heavenly Human Peak, reaching the personal ability limit below Supreme level. Yet, they are only tens of thousands of years old, young, lively, full of life, and like the hopeful morning sun rising.
Although, they are merely conventional Taoist disciples, not as exceptional as the previous generation.
At this moment, the Heavenly Beast Venerable unconsciously recalls the Taoist disciples of that generation, who fought against the Seven-step Daoist from the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm and finally perished.
So many years have passed...
This venerable has finally reached the age where I stare dazedly at the sky, reminiscing about past times.
The Taoist disciples of that generation were so outstanding. Facing the Seven-step Daoist, they resolutely charged forward without hesitation for the sect. If he had survived, there might be a greater chance of continuing the sect, right?
The Heavenly Beast Venerable is slightly lost in thought.
"Uncle Heavenly Beast!"
"Master!"
Noticing the Heavenly Beast Venerable’s attention, this generation’s Seven Kills Taoist, Heavenly Beast Taoist, Dan Tian Taoist, Thunder Sun Sword Son hurriedly stood up and bowed.
From the form of address, one can see how close the relationship between the four Human race Immortal Sects has been over the years, virtually as close as brothers in the same Sect.
The four Human Dao children have all been taught by the four Supreme beings, gathering strengths from various teachings as they grew.
Yet their strength is only average, not surpassing the previous generation of Taoist disciples, because of insufficient nurturing resources and the inability to go out for training, remaining trapped within the sect outside, extremely dangerous. Even Supremes dare not venture out apart from Formation Methods.
"It’s fine,"
"Just focus on your cultivation. If you have questions, ask frequently. Do not feel you’re disturbing us, these old guys. We are very free."
The Heavenly Beast Venerable waved his hand.
"Yes!"
The four Taoist disciples sat down reverently.
Very polite children, respecting their elders, honest in thought, without any bad habits, good kids in every way.
Yet...
The Thunder Sun Heaven Sword Venerable frowned slightly.
"No sharpness..."
"This is not the demeanor of the Strongest who can support the sect."
The Thunder Sun Heaven Sword Venerable did not harshly criticize these Taoist disciples, but transmitted his voice in a low sigh: "A strong person should be defiant, or greedy, or desirous, or arrogant, or have the demeanor of a gentleman... each should have their unique personal charisma, for life is inherently unique."
"Not like them, all good children, as if molded from the same form."
Experience, they lack it too much.
But they have no choice.
Nor do the Supremes have many choices.
All the Supremes remained silent.
In their hearts, comparing the current Taoist disciples with the previous generation, they easily saw the vast difference. No, those were the cultivators who could truly sustain the sect.
Many Supremes felt some melancholy inside and slightly shook their heads, casting aside distracting thoughts.
"Within fifty thousand years, we will die as our Life Energy ends."
"Then the sect will be entrusted to them, hoping they can continue the legacy of the sect’s ancestors..."
The Heavenly Beast Venerable whispered: "Before dying, we will burn ourselves in a fierce battle, hoping to severely wound the Heavenly Illusion Butterfly Master, buying them time to advance within the sect."
"If the Heavenly Illusion Butterfly Master does not advance to Seven Tribulation Venerable."
These final words, like a cold current, swept across the entire sky, freezing many people’s spines.
Heavenly Illusion Butterfly Master!
Demon Race Anomaly!
She is far stronger than ordinary Supremes, too exceptional. Others cannot advance from Six Tribulations Venerable to Seven Tribulations Venerable, but that doesn’t mean she can’t. She has unnaturally secluded herself for so many years, with no movement, making people deeply uneasy, always alert for Dream Realm invasion, but it never really appeared, causing much discomfort.
This feeling that the enemy may appear in the next moment, yet not appearing, is terrifying.
Here has been silent for long, with much despair.
"The Human Race also has Anomalies."
Dan Tian Venerable whispered.
Many Supremes’ eyes were somewhat dazed.
Over two hundred thousand years ago, a terrifying Human Dao child suddenly emerged, one person and one sword slaughtered all Daoist Taoist disciples and Saint Heirs of the quasi-immortal clan throughout the Perishing Immortal Realm, left gracefully, always quietly cultivating in the Sealed Spirit Forbidden Domain, remaining inside for more than two hundred thousand years, never once stepping out.
Patient like an old turtle, making people doubt whether he’s truly young.
No.
He is indeed not young anymore.
Over two hundred thousand years have passed; he has become an old thing, an old bastard.
Why hasn’t this damn old bastard appeared yet?!
Although there is enmity, he is indeed Human Race. He needs the Human Race, and the Human Race needs him. At least it won’t trigger widespread genocide like the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Butterfly Clan is far better.
This matter is very strange.
Over two hundred thousand years and exceeding the heavenly life span drastically, yet the Perishing Immortal Realm has never seen the Supreme Heavenly Tribulation occur, making one suspect if something unexpectedly happened to him.
Such a situation isn’t uncommon; Heaven envies talent, and the Sword Madman likes exploring too much, so dying anytime isn’t strange.
"You all,"
"if facing certain death, try opening the path to the Vermilion Bird Star Realm."
The Heavenly Beast Venerable looked at the junior Taoist disciples, sighed: "According to Ancestor Master records, it’s not a good place, also ruled by Demon Race, considered another place of death, with some unknown lands, you will make your own decisions then."
"Master..."
The Taoist disciples, including Heavenly Beast Taoist, had their eyes slightly reddened.
Ring-a-ling...
At this moment, the silver bells throughout the Heavenly Beast Garden suddenly rang, crisp and melodious.
The Taoist disciples, including Heavenly Beast Taoist, were startled, revealing expressions of terror.
This is the Dream Sky Bell!
This is a Supreme Treasure constructed by the four sects to prevent the Heavenly Illusion Butterfly Master’s Dream Dao sneak attacks. It’s meant to warn of Dream Dao invasion and buy time for a counterattack. Now the Dream Sky Bell is so urgent, someone unbelievably terrifying from the Dream Dao must have appeared, almost instantly destroying the Dream Sky Bell’s layers of defenses.
"Heavenly Illusion!"
"You beast! How dare you..."
The Heavenly Beast Venerable and others instantly erupted in rage.
One after another, branches of rules and authority surged upward, Sect Protection Formation runes densely filled the air, Array Patterns spread, and the Heavenly River’s streams rolled back, suppressing the four directions.
Many Supremes showed a violent expression.
They, with little Life Energy remaining, if the Heavenly Illusion Butterfly Master dares to come at this time, then don’t blame them for taking the sect array down together with them!
However, many Supremes soon revealed faces of horror.
Because the Sect Protection Formation rising up and the urgently ringing Dream Sky Bell suddenly vanished, all the Array Patterns disappeared, and ultimately the entire world disappeared, leaving only a vast white expanse, dreamlike.
They were totally powerless against it, completely swallowed within the Dream Realm!
"Seven,"
"Seven Tribulations..."
The Heavenly Beast Venerable smiled bitterly, his heart heavy.
As expected, the Heavenly Illusion Butterfly Master advanced to Seven Tribulation Venerable; otherwise, she wouldn’t come here.
But the next moment, many Supremes were taken aback.
They were completely dumbfounded.
In the distance.
A green-clothed youth carrying a Longsword approached slowly from the distant sky.
Behind him, a diary flipped rapidly in the wind, revealing the text on a certain page: "...September 21st, Seven Kills Venerable, in the White Bone Seven Kills Upper Domain wants to kill me."
The wind blew and flipped to the next page of the diary.
"...January 3rd, outside the Sealed Spirit Forbidden Domain, Seven Kills Venerable, Heavenly Beast Venerable, Venerable Du’e, Dan Tian Venerable, Heavenly Blood Venerable, Heavenly Illusion Venerable... all want to kill me."
