The three-ter-tall Netherworld King slowly erged from the darkness and bowed. "Divine Son of Asura and disciple of Myriad Beasts Sect, I have a ssage for you to convey to the Great Leader of Asura and the Myriad Beasts Sect."
"As a reward, this Infinite Great Divine Power will be your return gift. Of course, you also need to give a part to Little Huayu, but you mustn’t say that I told you to do this."
Under the imnse pressure, Chen Jiuge, whose body shivered unnaturally, managed to calm himself and asked, "What is it? Why are you seeking ?"
"Jian Wuli ca to , saying you have the potential to beco a Saint. Although I don’t believe his nonsense about luck, a small attempt doesn’t require much effort on my part."
"Jian Wuli?" Chen Jiuge recalled the man he had seen in Myriad Swords City, a hint of confusion on his face.
"Tell Asura and the Myriad Beasts Sect that my Netherworld King Clan wants to collaborate with them to ’sever the Dao’."
Watching the slowly disappearing figure of the Netherworld King, Chen Jiuge yelled, "What does ’sever the Dao’ an? And what should I do next?"
"Head straight to the Land of Infinite. The people there are no match for you. Don’t have overly high expectations of Infinite; he is just a failure."
...
"Well? Do you believe it now?" Ming Huayu’s chuckling voice sounded.
Chen Jiuge, still sowhat disoriented, nodded. "I understand."
"Then..." Ming Huayu began, but before he could finish, Chen Jiuge strode boldly into the pool of black blood.
"Hey, hey, hey! Aren’t you going to prepare at all?" Ming Huayu said anxiously. This Divine Son of Asura was originally Human Clan, wasn’t he? Why is he so impulsive? His mana hasn’t even fully recovered yet!
「Infinite Place」
Gazing at the flowing black barrier around him, Chen Jiuge gently touched it. This feels almost like water flowing past my hand.
"Welco to the Land of Infinite. I’m glad to see you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiuge turned around. The phrase "unparalleled young master" suddenly surfaced in his mind.
The elegant young man approached, looking sowhat astonished. "Asura? Human Clan? Jian Wuli also left a mark on you?"
"The potential to beco a Saint... Interesting, interesting. After all these years, that fellow still believes in this luck theory of his."
"What exactly is going on? Soone earlier told you’re a failure. Why is that?" Chen Jiuge’s mind was a complete muddle. Those enigmatic people are so infuriating!
"Heh, your cultivation is too low, and your strength isn’t sufficient. It’s better you don’t know too much. I guess the one who called a failure must be from the Netherworld King Clan. By the way, do you even know what the Netherworld King Clan is?" the youth babbled.
"Yes, I know. He’s also the king of the Netherworld King Clan."
"Tsk tsk tsk, that old codger has no sha, occupying that position for so many years. Truly shaless," the youth sneered.
"Anyway, I won’t say much more. My consciousness can’t linger for long. Let transmit the Divine Skills to you now."
"Wait, there’s no test?" Chen Jiuge asked, surprised.
"A test? You already have Jian Wuli’s mark. How could I not oblige an old friend? It’s just a special Great Divine Power, not so priceless treasure."
The youth gestured grandly, and countless streams of information drilled into Chen Jiuge’s forehead.
His mind was a dizzying whirl of sensations. It was unclear how much ti had passed before Chen Jiuge’s consciousness finally regained a sliver of clarity.
Looking at the silver vortex in his hand, Chen Jiuge said with a look of amazent, "This Infinite is quite sothing else!"
This was a Great Divine Power involving ti and space. If he refined the aspect of ti to its limit, Chen Jiuge could even recreate situations like that of the Beiming Clan. Should he refine space to its ultimate, stepping across thousands of mountains and rivers in a single stride would no longer be a dream. This was especially significant knowing that space in the Star Sea Realm was unstable, making Transmission Arrays difficult to use.
The black water curtain slowly disappeared, the Beiming Clan were not resurrected, and the black lake gradually dried up.
"Did you succeed?" Ming Huayu’s spectral form looked at the silver vortex in Chen Jiuge’s hands, his face full of delight.
"By a stroke of luck, I suppose," Chen Jiuge said ambiguously.
"Then I’ll await your good news in Corner Shadow City."
The Beiming Clan had no savings left. Years of continuous warfare had drained them. If it hadn’t been for a legacy site of the Infinite located there, their clan would have been wiped out long ago.
After stowing away the Law Crystal, Chen Jiuge turned to the Lotus Clan Leader, whose face was etched with shock, and said, "Gather your people. It’s ti to leave with ."
He Shan stamred, "Y-you actually dealt with the Beiming Clan?"
The Lotus Clan had resorted to selling themselves to hire other True Immortals to defend against the Beiming Clan many tis. All those True Immortals had been swallowed by the Infinite. Now, soone who could overco the Infinite had suddenly appeared, and He Shan couldn’t comprehend it.
"Don’t tell you intend to go back on your word?" Chen Jiuge squinted.
Other Spiritual Beasts also surrounded He Shan, eyeing him up and down with unfriendly gazes.
He Shan gulped. "Respected seniors, how could I possibly go back on my word? We’ll leave right away," he said sheepishly.
"That’s for the best."
「Lotus Clan Territory」
The Lotus Clan ancestor looked at the Big Spear stuck in the lotus leaf, his wizened face full of obsequiousness as he said, "Big brother, could you pull it out so I can pack up the clanspeople?"
"Heh, sure."
This old fellow had just tried to fool him, intending to pack up his clanspeople and flee, but Chen Jiuge had swiftly pinned him to the ground with his spear.
A huge lotus enveloped a group of tender pink lotus people, and the enormous green bud slowly drifted toward the Flying Boat.
Da Bai leaped up and kicked the bud’s backside. "What’s the delay? Hurry up!"
"Don’t you have any respect for the elderly and children?"
The Lotus Clan ancestor flipped Da Bai off. Seeing Da Bai about to explode with rage, he imdiately shot off at top speed, found a nice spot on the Flying Boat, and settled down.
The black cloak fluttered in the wind. The gold letters on its back were mostly dyed black, but one could still faintly make out the four large characters: "All Villains."
Fiddling with two gray crystals in his hand, Chen Jiuge was sowhat conflicted. "Should I pass on that ssage for the Netherworld King?" he muttered.
What exactly does ’sever the Dao’ an?
And what the heck is that loser from the Infinite Place all about?
Isn’t Jian Wuli just the young master of so clan?
And what does ’potential to beco a Saint’ an? Could I actually beco a Saint?
While Chen Jiuge was deep in thought, Tian Que handed over a handful of dried fruit with his chubby little hands, cooing, "Master, eat. This tastes really good."
Popping a dried fruit into his mouth and chewing, a sweet flavor spread through his mouth. This is actually pretty good! Chen Jiuge thought.
Where did these co from? I’ve never had them before! he wondered, surprised.
Tian Que pointed at the Lotus Clan ancestor, who was being pinned down by nurous Spiritual Beasts as they plundered lotus seeds from his head. "They grew on that old lotus’s forehead. They’re delicious!"
The Lotus Clan ancestor cried out in anguish, "Can’t you leave so for ? Show so respect for the elderly!"
"That was my hoard from half a lifeti!"
Chen Jiuge chuckled despite himself. To hell with riddlers and mysteries, he thought. As long as I’m happy, that’s all that matters. As for what the Netherworld King wanted to convey, I’ll just pass it on without asking too many questions. It’s not like they’d consult a weak True Immortal like about anything important, right?
Feeling cheerful, Chen Jiuge shouted, "Save a spot for ! Let get so too!"
"HAHAHA!"
"GIGGLE GIGGLE!"
Joyful laughter echoed throughout the Flying Boat, with only the thoroughly plundered Lotus Clan ancestor wailing in despair.
