Chapter 845: Genius of the Game of Go Path and Array Path
Chapter 845: Chapter 845: Genius of the Game of Go Path and Array Path Baize sighed in realization, noticing how Hua Xuemei, that seductive and enchanting master of the Holy Lands, seemed to suddenly transform into another person.
Adjusting her slanted clothing, changing her semi-transparent robes to a simple white dress, even the delicate makeup on her face vanished.
In an instant, she transformed from a temptress into a fairy.
"Divine General Bai, today the Sixteen Holy Lands are extinguished, while Fengyue Pavilion narrowly escaped disaster, I’m afraid it won’t go unnoticed by the Immortal Domain."
Hua Xuemei spoke softly and gently: "I ask Divine General Bai to personally lead the army and wash Fengyue Pavilion in blood, completely annihilating the remnants of the Sixteen Holy Lands and the disciples with unorthodox backgrounds."
She said.
Gracefully bowing.
Baize: "..."
The second Divine General was utterly dumbfounded.
Could it be?
What power does The Supreme Emperor have that made Hua Xuemei abandon her fashion style and personality of tens of thousands of years...
Something is wrong.
Something is very wrong.
Before Baize could think deeply, blood seeped from Hua Xuemei’s lips, and her aura instantly waned.
Baize wouldn’t think Hua Xuemei hurt herself out of emotion; it was for disguise.
It can’t be that other Holy Masters died or disappeared, yet Hua Xuemei faced no danger at all.
If one said Hua Xuemei wasn’t an undercover agent for the Heavenly Court, even a fool wouldn’t believe it!
But Hua Xuemei was ruthless with herself, actually severing part of her Dao foundation...
It will take at least thirty thousand years to fully recover, and there’s no chance of advancing in her boundary in this lifetime!
"Why go this far?"
Baize frowned: "Injuries can be feigned. The path of cultivation is not easy; why bother."
"Divine General Bai, without severing my foundation, I couldn’t possibly reach Quasi-Emperor Fifth Heaven."
Hua Xuemei forced a bitter smile.
Her boundary was essentially nurtured with elixirs and rare treasures; her Dao foundation was mostly shallow.
This time, by severing her Dao foundation, it might be an opportunity for her.
If she can steadily repair it, although there’s no chance of progress in her boundary, her true combat power could be three times higher than now.
Baize said no more.
Having cultivated to the Quasi-Emperor boundary, every cultivator has a scale in their heart, regardless of right or wrong, difficult for others to easily correct.
"Divine General Bai, then I shall leave now."
Hua Xuemei had already begun to regard herself as a Divine General of the Heavenly Court, although without formal recognition, she was still an auxiliary personnel.
But with the words of The Supreme Emperor personally, who within the Heavenly Court would dare deny it?
Of course.
High-profile announcements were impossible, as the Heavenly Court still needs Hua Xuemei and Fengyue Pavilion for deeds.
The Immortal Domain seems peaceful, but in reality, it has long been fractured.
Aside from the Holy Lands passed down across dozens of epochs, there are also factions rapidly emerging like bamboo shoots after a rain, along with the tribes and Tao lineages of the Great Emperors.
The Immortal Domain has been divided into streams of forces.
Among them, most Holy Lands and forces outwardly acknowledge the Heavenly Court, but in their hearts, they wish The Supreme Emperor would die quickly, so their own Quasi-Emperor could cross that vital step.
Thus.
Fengyue Pavilion being concealed beneath the surface is the best situation for the Heavenly Court.
Hua Xuemei left, not directly appearing in the Immortal Domain, intending to hide for twenty or thirty years before emerging.
At the same time, Baize also personally led troops to Fengyue Pavilion and issued a Heavenly Court warrant for the ’hunt of Hua Xuemei, Holy Master of Fengyue Pavilion’.
War erupted.
Expanding from sixteen territories to seventeen.
...
...
Chaos ensued.
The Immortal Domain was completely chaotic!
Only the Northern Immortal Domain remained silent, while all the great Holy Lands in the Eastern, Western and Southern Immortal Domains trembled in fear.
They heard the decree issued by the Heavenly Court, heard the war drums, and saw one Immortal’s Demise after another streaking across the sky.
As well as the supreme imperial majesty that showed no sign of faltering, but instead threatened to crush the heavens.
The Supreme Emperor wasn’t injured.
The Supreme Emperor was killing madly.
The Immortal Domain, peaceful for tens of thousands of years, was once again shrouded in the shadow of the Heavenly Court.
On this day.
Blood flowed like rivers.
Later generations would refer to this war as the Day of Saint’s Demise.
Because Purple Star Palace, Blood Gu Hall, and other sixteen Holy Lands were erased from the Immortal Domain, with no survivors, the death toll was immeasurable.
Even the fortunate survivor Fengyue Pavilion suffered damage to its foundation.
Within its gates, disciples and elders lost over forty percent, and the Supreme Elder at Quasi-Emperor Second Heaven was besieged by Baize, Divine General of the Heavenly Court, while Holy Master Hua Xuemei’s fate remained unknown.
Events as rare as Immortal’s Demise once in thousands to even tens of thousands of years, this day shocked the cultivators of the Immortal Domain into numbness.
...
Earth.
Sikong Jiu gazed keenly at the Immortal Domain: "It was indeed a plot by the Heavenly Court; I knew The Supreme Emperor wouldn’t easily become mortal!"
Sikong Jiu had completely forgotten.
Not long ago, when The Supreme Emperor and Divine General Taotie were about to leave Earth, he rushed over, crying, only to be kicked flying.
He also forgot how, while The Supreme Emperor flew over the Moon, Sikong Jiu feared the one in the Moon Phoenix Nest would undermine The Supreme Emperor.
Seems.
Jiu Feng, like Sikong Jiu, already saw through the Heavenly Court’s plan against the Seventeen Holy Lands.
"Everything is within my calculations."
Sikong Jiu’s eyes shone with wisdom, his lips curled into a smug smile: "Today I’ll reward myself with two strings of candied hawthorn."
Sikong Jiu munched on the sweet and sour candied fruit, pondering the impact of the erasure of Purple Star Palace and other Holy Lands on the Immortal Domain and Heavenly Court, and the upcoming Imperial Demise Epoch.
Thinking and thinking.
Sikong Jiu suddenly realized something very important: The Heavenly Court always rewarded contributions.
If he intervened now, helping dismantle some Mountain Protection Arrays, in case these Holy Lands had Emperor Artifacts.
Wouldn’t it be the perfect reward tailored for him!?
Sikong Jiu’s figure transformed into a stream of light flying toward the Immortal Domain, shouting: "The Heavenly Court is in danger, I’m here to help!"
Yet upon reaching the Immortal Domain.
Sikong Jiu was completely bewildered; all the Mountain Protection Arrays of the Seventeen Holy Lands had vanished, with the Heavenly Court and the Holy Lands locked in an intense battle.
Indeed, the formations were invalid, not damaged.
"What is going on, could there be Heavenly Court moles in all Seventeen Holy Lands?"
Sikong Jiu gasped, considering the need to reevaluate the infiltration capabilities of the Heavenly Court.
It’s truly terrifying.
After all, these were Mountain Protection Arrays!
Divine General Bai appeared beside Sikong Jiu, calmly saying: "It’s Ruan Lan’s accomplishment."
Ruan Lan???"
Sikong Jiu doubted his ears.
That nerd...
The glamorous young aunt of The Supreme Emperor hadn’t even properly condensed a Golden Core, what skills could she possibly have to tamper with the Mountain Protection Arrays of the Seventeen Holy Lands?
"Don’t underestimate Ruan Lan, she is the prodigy of the Star Origin Sect’s Game of Go Path and Array Path."
"Her? An all-rounder???"
Sikong Jiu laughed out loud: "Divine General Bai, surely you must have mistaken her for someone else."
In the Immortal Domain, Baize is truly the first in the Game of Go Path; even The Supreme Emperor was initially her defeated opponent.
The Game of Go and arrays are inseparable.
Although Baize’s Way of Formation hadn’t created an array as overwhelmingly powerful as the Starlight Array, which surpassed the Killing Formation in history, she had crafted many exquisite arrays and accomplished countless feats.
Being called a prodigy by Baize, what a terrifying talent must that be?
Baize’s expression was complex; before interacting with Ruan Lan, wasn’t she thinking just like Sikong Jiu?
