Lu Ren looked down at the Jade Capital Mountain below, then raised the Tathagata’s hand; the five fingers were like giant pillars supporting the sky. Amidst the vast sound of Tathagata and the surrounding celestial majesty, the enormous hand of the Tathagata unhesitatingly descended straight toward the Jade Capital Mountain.
"How dare you!!"
A furious shout echoed from the Jade Capital Mountain, reverberating across the sky. Imdiately, layers of clear light rose from the largest palace at the peak of the Jade Capital Mountain, quickly spreading out like a net covering the sky, weaving into a fishing net that surprisingly caught these five sky-supporting fingers of the Tathagata’s hand.
The descending montum suddenly halted, followed by a small bronze cauldron with three legs and round ears flying out from the Jade Capital Mountain. The intricate carvings of flora and fauna on the outside, dense with Daoist patterns, seed to co alive at this mont.
Buzz!!
As if heavenly music, a Taoist chant, or divine majesty emanated from the small cauldron.
Lu Ren saw clearly that this three-legged, round-eared small cauldron was only the size of a palm, almost too small even to be used as an incense burner. It was covered in rusty copper, clearly of an extrely ancient date, its origins hard to fathom. Yet, such an ordinary-looking ancient artifact could unleash unimaginable alien Power.
A strand of faint light that spread out silently caused Lu Ren’s descending Tathagata’s hand to dissipate and collapse without sound.
Then, an unimaginable alien Power shattered layer by layer, ultimately demolishing this ten-thousand-zhang Tathagata’s Dharma Body entirely.
Suspended in mid-air, Lu Ren’s brows knitted tightly. This fluctuation had no effect on him, only causing the Dharma Body he had cast to shatter. If he wished, he could still recreate the Tathagata’s Dharma Body within a breath, even more solidify it to erupt with a more brilliant Power.
However, the unusual Power emanating just now from the cauldron was not strong. Weirdly, his Tathagata’s Dharma Body seed to have encountered a nesis, triggered by a not-too-big, not-too-small unusual Power, causing it to crumble successively.
Very strange.
Carefully feeling these changes, Lu Ren’s gaze towards the cauldron grew fervent; this was undoubtedly a Taoist Artifact with a considerable status in the Mythical Era, possibly used by those Celestial Immortal level experts.
Lu Ren lowered his gaze, watching as a man dressed in a luxurious purple robe walked out from the most extravagant palace of the Jade Capital Mountain. Behind his head floated a half-moon wheel Magical Artifact, truly looking like an enlightened master, with high status and about fifty years of age.
Quite ostentatious!
Lu Ren’s thoughts whirled as he gazed deeply at the purple-robed Taoist. That penetrating intense gaze seed capable of seeing through people, making the robe-clad Taoist involuntarily break out in goosebumps.
Instinctively, he stroked his beard, squinting at Lu Ren, his expression quite startled.
"It’s you, Lu Ren."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ren’s expression turned subtle: "It seems you do indeed recognize , Sect Leader of Shangjing Sect, Sect Leader Li Chengxu. You really didn’t issue the Shangjing decree on a whim."
He glanced at the small bronze cauldron floating unpredictably in the sky, his expression unchanged, and gradually advanced towards the Jade Capital Mountain.
Li Chengxu saw Lu Ren approaching and his face showed a few traces of coldness, revealing a faint smile.
"Fellow Taoist Lu, do you know why our Shangjing Sect dares to be called one of the Kunlun Sacred Lands? Your solo arrival indeed surprises ."
"I’ve heard that your Shangjing Sect has severely declined in your generation, nearly dropping off the list of Sacred Lands, but it seems the rumors aren’t unfounded."
Lu Ren’s words hinted at sothing, and how could Li Chengxu not understand? His gaze was sharp as he glanced at the fifteen cultivators who were hamred to death by Lu Ren at the foot of the Jade Capital Mountain, feeling heart-wrenching anguish.
These were the backbone of his Shangjing Sect, the pillars of the next generation. Among them, two had great hope of entering the Human Immortal Realm again, reviving the Shangjing House, and restore the Yuanshi glory in the reconciliation of heaven and earth.
Yet now, they were killed on the spot by Lu Ren’s punches and kicks, Divine Soul extinguished. Li Chengxu could only watch Lu Ren committing such evil as he activated the small bronze cauldron.
Li Chengxu snorted coldly: "Lu Ren, your wicked acts will surely have heavenly punishnt. Now I will rid the world of demons and restore clear skies for the Cultivation Realm."
Lu Ren was slightly stunned, then laughed loudly, suddenly stopping himself. He suddenly rembered that these beasts are indeed reasonable within certain boundaries.
Living in such an environnt where mortals are regarded as pigs and dogs, even the best people can have their perceptions greatly altered by the sights and sounds around them.
In their view, Lu Ren’s killing these people is grievously wrong. Yet to them, using mortals as sacrifices, Qi Cultivation, making materials are just common practice, even seen as re materials, without anyone sympathizing.
Ultimately, it’s the different conceptual differences between two places.
Lu Ren’s expression turned cold, "Since both sides hold different views, only one side can survive. As the victor, of course, has the right to dictate the rules of this world."
Though Li Chengxu felt that Lu Ren’s sudden words were inexplicable, he understood the final words.
Fight to the death, no retreat, no surrender!
Watching Lu Ren instantly turning into golden light coming forth, Li Chengxu showed no hesitation to kill, tightly gripping his Taoist Sword, casting spells, and chanting. At the top of the Jade Capital Mountain, the palace in front of Li Chengxu suddenly generated a formless wave.
Imdiately, an extrely peculiar domain spread instantly, enveloping the entire Jade Capital Mountain and a hundred-mile radius around.
Upon entering this strange domain, Lu Ren felt the scene slightly darken; the originally vivid world seed to lose fras, quickly turning dim.
The entire world presented an extrely dull, decaying environnt, but strongly emphasized a sense of rip; here, it was filled with highly active Life Force. Flowers, grass, trees, and rocks seed to co alive under the domain’s envelope.
Lu Ren couldn’t help but pause, sensing the surrounding environnt carefully.
This was not exactly like the Seeking Truth Realm. At first, Lu Ren thought the Jade Capital Mountain had an array dragging him into the True Realm, but despite the resemblance, the subtleties were greatly different, completely distinct from the True Realm’s level.
At this mont, Lu Ren suddenly realized that he had experienced this world-changing state before.
The Spirit Realm intertwined with the real world, idealism thoroughly rged with materialism. This place will maximize the Qi Cultivation cultivator’s abilities.
The grand power of Magical Techniques will reach a terrifying ascent in such an environnt.
