Free Web NovelChapter 573: Chapter 389: Breakthrough and Mutation (Part 2)
[Your cultivation speed is akin to doubling, you can feel increasingly favored by the heavens and earth.]
[You can sense changes in your True Essence; your Water Attribute True Essence is tinged with cold, your Wood Attribute True Essence is becoming more vital and healing ability enhanced, your Gold Attribute True Essence now unexpectedly contains a trace of Sword Qi, your Earth Attribute True Essence seems more adept at Defense Magic, and your Fire Attribute True Essence has gained a hint of Thunder Light.]
[These traits are all transformations of quality after the change.]
[You feel quite pleased; if you further use your body to carry the array and add five drops of True Blood, the enhancement of five drops of True Blood can elevate your Five Elements Body to transcend the Celestial Spirit Root level.]
[With the nourishment of endless Qi of the Five Elements, the consumed power of the Five Elements Sacred Beast True Blood is replenished, and even the power of True Blood is expanding. According to your calculations, although it’s impossible to regenerate from a single drop of blood into a true Holy Beast, perhaps with the help of an array, you might be able to exert three to four-tenths of the power of the Five Elements Sacred Beast...]
[In the year 5322 of the New Source Era, you mastered the first ray of Five Elements Divine Light.]
[That same year, you emerged from retreat, and your Hidden Guard brought news...]
Hidden Guard, a covert force directly belonging to the Alliance Leader of the Celestial Rainbow Alliance.
All cultivators within it, without exception, achieved cultivation after the establishment of the Celestial Rainbow Alliance, displaying absolute loyalty to the Alliance.
Lin Wui is their nominal leader.
This time, the Hidden Guard represents not only themselves.
It also carries requests for help from two other forces.
"Oh?"
Zhong Heng held a piece of Record Jade, quickly sifting through the information it contained.
Two Hidden Guards wearing masks and robes obscuring all features were half-kneeling before Zhong Heng.
Behind them stood two Elders.
"We humbly ask the Ancestor to take action!"
The two Elders bowed deeply.
They appeared anxious, even showing signs of panic.
Zhong Heng extended his hand slightly. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Immediately, both stood up, even their restless mood returned to calm and equanimity.
"Where are the other two Ancestors?"
The elder of the Four-sided Alliance promptly responded: "Elder Zhu seems to be undergoing an important breakthrough and has not responded at all..."
The elder of Guangyun Celestial Sect smiled wryly: "Yunmiao Ancestor replied advising us to consult you instead."
Zhong Heng waved his hand, and they left.
"How interesting."
"Investigate if there has been any activity from Wind and Rain Tower."
Wind and Rain Tower as the shadowy aspect of the entire Central State.
Its presence is not particularly prominent.
Yet, as the ruler of the Celestial Rainbow Alliance, Zhong Heng could not possibly overlook Wind and Rain Tower, could he?
The Celestial Blood Dark Soul Array is not a one-time array.
All aspects of Wind and Rain Tower within the shadows of the Celestial Rainbow Alliance are monitored and controlled by Zhong Heng.
Moreover, another function of the Hidden Guard is to supervise Wind and Rain Tower.
Some have signed contracts with Wind and Rain Tower using the Celestial Blood Dark Soul Array, while others have signed using their own Essence Blood.
After hundreds of years of monitoring, the Hidden Guards even possess a highly detailed list, recording what the cultivators of the Celestial Rainbow Alliance have done within the Wind and Rain Tower.
Under regular circumstances, if they merely treat it as a black market, Zhong Heng simply turns a blind eye.
When unexpected situations arise, he executes direct suppression and extermination.
Zhong Heng’s intuition told him this matter might have a significant connection with Wind and Rain Tower.
Wind and Rain Tower has expended so much effort to establish a massive black market beneath the Central State.
Zhong Heng doesn’t believe Wind and Rain Tower has no other motives.
Moreover...
After knowing about the Vast Mist, Zhong Heng had more speculations and doubts in his heart.
"According to Elder Hu, the Vast Mist seems to have been refined by quite a few cultivators into other methods..."
"Does Wind and Rain Tower..."
Zhong Heng felt Elder Hu was hiding something from him.
When receiving the inheritance, Elder Hu specifically checked whether Zhong Heng had any connections with Wind and Rain Tower.
But when Zhong Heng inquired further, Elder Hu only mentioned that there were secrets in Wind and Rain Tower, and it’s best not to get close...
"Forget it, let’s solve the problem first..."
Zhong Heng rubbed his brow.
Looking at the Record Jade in his hand.
The beginning of the Record Jade described an absolute Ghostly World...
A Ghostly World where reality and illusion are severed...
............
To the east of the Flying Star Cultivation Realm.
Two years ago, Pingyun Market at the far east first discovered anomalies within numerous small Cultivation Realms.
The living beings in these small Cultivation Realms died peculiarly.
Upon investigation by the cultivators, the implicated small Cultivation Realms numbered over ten, and without exception, they were bizarre beyond measure. Cultivators swiftly determined the act was evil cultivators’ doing.
Yet even with Foundation Establishment Cultivators leading teams, they couldn’t investigate the matters within these Death Realms at all.
This incident was promptly reported through multiple layers.
Subsequently drawing the attention of Guangyun Celestial Sect’s True Master.
Master Qianlei was responsible for enlightening various small to medium Cultivation Realms in that direction, naturally taking charge of this matter.
True Master, along with two stronger individuals, went to check the situation in numerous small Cultivation Realms.
Three days later, Master Qianlei returned.
He announced the matter was resolved.
All cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.
Only the two True Masters accompanying Master Qianlei were nowhere to be found.
According to Master Qianlei, his close friends both perished saving him.
After hard-fought battles, the three managed to slay the enemy, a rare Bloodthirsty Illusion Dream Lady beast.
The other two powerful individuals perished as well.
Some cultivators went to inspect, finding the initial anomalies vanished!
Even some identified as dead came back to life.
According to Master Qianlei, the Bloodthirsty Illusion Dream Lady is an extremely rare demon beast, capable of devouring the blood of living beings and creating illusion realms.
This Demon King-level Bloodthirsty Illusion Dream Lady killed countless people, yet it didn’t slaughter all.
Because her digestive ability couldn’t consume all life forms across over ten small Cultivation Realms.
Thus, many survived...
Apart from the two True Masters who died at the demon beast’s hands and a few unlucky individuals who died in accidents while exploring, this matter seemingly concluded quickly.
"I don’t believe it!"
"My master once told me he has a Demon-slaying Treasure, unless facing a demon emperor of Nascent Soul Ancestor level, no demon could directly kill him!"
Le Zhao’s face was fierce, and he slammed a punch on the table before him.
He was the disciple of Cliff Hermit, outstanding within the Celestial Rainbow Alliance, and shortlisted as a candidate for the next Celestial Rainbow Ring.
"Le Zhao, we are sad about Master Cliff Hermit’s death too, but the deceased cannot be brought back to life..."
Present were Le Zhao’s friends.
Le Zhao took a deep breath, wanting to explain more.
Yet he suddenly glanced at his friends’ faces, a look of bewilderment mixed with fear in his eyes.
"Something’s off, something’s off..."
He murmured with fear, as if sensing something amiss.
A friend attempted to support him, but Le Zhao brushed them aside.
Le Zhao staggered away, running faintly toward a distant place.
His friends found Le Zhao’s behavior odd.
Yet they failed to notice that in Le Zhao’s eyes, their expressions appeared strangely stiff.
The surrounding temperature seemed to drop.
"There’s a problem, definitely a problem."
"Master Qianlei, and the entire area starting from Changping Market, definitely has an issue."
Le Zhao ran into a lonely wilderness, gasping heavily, and lay on the grass.
"Three ancestors are present; I don’t believe they can’t discern the uncanny happenings in this place."
Le Zhao gradually calmed down.
In his eyes appeared a resolute determination.
Le Zhao held a piece of white jade.
The white jade appeared somewhat dim; it symbolized his privilege as a direct descendant of the Alliance, allowing him to bypass hierarchies and report directly to the central authority.
Each direct heir only had one chance.
Yet this time, Celestial Secret City provided no feedback information to him.
Born with keen Spiritual Sense.
Le Zhao could vaguely perceive different atmospheres in different places.
This feeling was quite mystical, difficult to express.
