Chapter 497: Chapter 192: “Only those who fear death deserve to live.

“Master…”

Dozens of miles away from the Three Springs Building, a yearning look intensified in Xiao Yue’s eyes as she muttered dreamily, “Haven’t you always told me to find a proud child of heaven? How about Chen Qiu, does he meet your standards, Master?”

At that time, the battle had ceased.

The vast and brutal spiritual energy had finally come to a stop.

The Myriad Beast Sect’s Peak of Divinity Transformation elder remained expressionless, silent for a long time before he softly said, “Starting from today, you’ll immediately return to the sect with me, and you are not allowed to go anywhere else.”

Although he dared not extend his divine sense over,

the commotion from the battle did not require divine sense to perceive; one could sense it with the eyes. In just a few months, Chen Qiu had stepped into the early stages of Divinity Transformation from the Golden Core Peak and had attained such combat power only shortly after entering the early stage. His future was almost certainly destined to reach the pinnacle of Xuantian Continent.

Grind down if need be.

He had a premonition that with Chen Qiu’s character and strength, if his own disciple did not recognize the good from bad and continued to pester, the Myriad Beast Sect might face the danger of extinction.

To put it nicely, a personage like Chen Qiu would not condescend to indulge in romantic affairs.

To put it harshly, he knew all too well his own disciple, who was clearly not a match for Chen Qiu.

If a person were to ask for trouble, it would be like a Golden Core loose cultivator carrying a treasure in their possession–death wouldn’t be far off.

“Why?”

Xiao Yue frowned discontentedly, “I’m going to find Chen Qiu.”

“…”

After a pause, the elder of Myriad Beast Sect at the Peak of Divinity Transformation finally decided to be blunt, “Such a personage will not put his heart into you.”

Then, without waiting to see his disciple’s reaction, he immediately released a powerful spiritual energy that enveloped his disciple and shot toward the direction of the Myriad Beast Sect!

As for the nine-tailed fox in Xiao Yue’s arms, it was slightly surprised as it looked at the Myriad Beast Sect’s elder at the Peak of Divinity Transformation.

This old man knows how to read the room?

She had wanted to say this a long time ago–a female cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, how could she have the audacity to approach him?

Unexpectedly, this old man was quite sensible.

Looks like he might live a bit longer this time?

She had a capability to see through people’s inner voices, so she understood the old man’s thoughts even more clearly. She was curious about what Chen Qiu was thinking. Still, she dared not get too close to him.

Compared to hearing inner voices,

she found the idea of staying alive much more meaningful.

…

Dozens of miles away, the Sect Grand Elder of the Xuantian Sect calmly looked toward the slowly calming Three Springs Building and sighed softly after a long time.

When the elder at the Peak of Divinity Transformation from Bishan Palace went with several Divinity Transformation elders to trouble Chen Qiu,

he had determined that they would likely return without success.

Now it seemed that the other possibility had come to pass.

Return with no one.

A Divine Domain of the twelfth grade meant that even a Divine Domain of the ninth grade would be completely suppressed in front of Chen Qiu. To the best of his knowledge, the ninth grade Divine Domain was already the most powerful existence on Xuantian Continent.

There was only one person on the entire Xuantian Continent who possessed a tenth grade Divine Domain.

That is to say, only one person’s Domain would not be absolutely suppressed in front of Chen Qiu–everyone else’s Divine Domain, upon meeting Chen Qiu, would fail to manifest.

This was a matter of grade suppression.

Absolute suppression.

No matter how high your cultivation, you would still be suppressed.

He could not imagine why someone would be able to craft a twelfth grade Divine Domain. He also knew the fundamental materials required to create a Domain of such caliber, the conditions of which seemed impossible for humans to achieve, or rather, impossible for the Xuantian Continent to manifest.

A Thread of Unrivaled Heavenly Pride Fortune.

Just this item alone was practically something that should not exist on the Xuantian Continent.

A Thread of Unrivaled Heavenly Pride Fortune required three Threads of Supreme Genius Fortune, and a Thread of Supreme Genius Fortune in turn required three Threads of Heavenly Pride Fortune. In other words, to possess a Thread of Unrivaled Heavenly Pride Fortune, one would need–

Nine Threads of Heavenly Pride Fortune.

Twenty-seven Threads of Earth Pride Luck.

Eighty-one Threads of Luck of Human Pride.

These materials simply could not be gathered on the Xuantian Continent, or rather, to gather so many materials, even if a person could reap the greatest benefits from every fortuitous event, they would need to stretch the timeline sufficiently long.

Therefore, he had no idea how Chen Qiu achieved this.

But–

Since he is the Sect Master of Chao Tian Sect, then everything is normal.

Perhaps it was the heritage left behind by the Chao Tian Sect. Thousands of years ago, the sect swept across the entire Xuantian Continent and plundered countless opportunities; perhaps they indeed had such a foundation.

“Sigh.”

Much later, this Great Elder of the Xuantian Sect sighed again. Maybe…it was time to lay low for a few more years.

…

“Was Father’s guess correct?”

Also dozens of miles away, the Cao Family Patriarch’s eyes flickered with self-satisfaction and relief as he watched the calming ripples of spiritual energy at the Three Springs Building, “Father has long said, that Chen Qiu, being a peerless talent, wouldn’t fall so easily!”

“The ‘Sha Qiu Banquet’ must have been a trap set up by Chen Qiu, intending to catch all the guests at the banquet in one fell swoop!”

“You wait and see!”

“It’s possible that Chen Qiu will even follow the guests’ list on the gift ledger, paying a visit to each of their houses. Many powers have lost their strongest people here this time; they might be done for.”

“Hmm…”

The young man hesitated, then said with uncertainty, “Father, have you forgotten? You said that if this event turned out to be real, not going would offend the Three Springs Building. So, although we did not attend, our tribute indeed arrived first. Our Cao Family’s name is already on that gift ledger.”

“Really?”

“Yes, Father.”

“…”

After remaining expressionless and silent for a long while, the Cao Family Patriarch finally waved it off, “It doesn’t matter. The battle just now was so fierce that the entire Three Springs Building was turned to ashes, not to mention a mere gift ledger.”
