Chapter 346: Hong Yun: Why Is It Me Again?

Initially, it was just one person.

“My Great Void Divine Ability.”

This Perfected One was quite passionate about [Wu You Heaven] and had already passed the first tribulation, though he only obtained the lowest-grade Divine Ability, [White Bone Visualization].

However, being able to pass the first tribulation was enough to demonstrate his strength; at least he had some redeeming qualities. There were countless Perfected Ones like him in the world, and at this moment, they all shared the same question as they watched their sea of consciousness burst with light, the Great Void Divine Abilities they had once obtained blooming with magnificent colors.

This change spread across the world at a visible speed.

How vast was the reach of [Wu You Heaven]?

After all, it was giving away a Divine Ability for free. Although it didn’t provide stature, the cultivation difficulty was far lower than other innate Divine Abilities. Who would mind having one more technique?

Therefore, even though it hadn’t appeared for long.

The Divine Abilities bestowed by [Wu You Heaven] had long spread to the east, west, south, and north. Even many Perfected Ones overseas practiced them. It could be said to have swept across the world.

Consequently, this abnormal change was also sweeping across the world.

Meanwhile, in Jiangbei, the sky above the Heaven-Connecting Cloud Sea was already filled with purple qi. several Dao Fruit stars bloomed with brilliant light, clashing head-on with the purple qi.

Just like Chong Guang’s attempt at Seeking Golden Core in the past.

However, in the next second, the group of Perfected Lords who were originally in intense battle abruptly stopped their movements. The Dao Fruit stars shook, and they all sensed the abnormal change in heaven and earth.

“What’s happening?”

“Something’s not right… why are the Dao Fruits moving strangely?”

“[Sky-Shrouding], did you use some method in secret again?”

On the other side, amidst the vast purple qi, [Sky-Shrouding]’s expression also changed at this moment because he discovered that this abnormal change had actually affected him as well.

What is the situation? Who is plotting in the dark?

Although he was habitually blamed, [Sky-Shrouding] was extremely shrewd. He immediately went with the flow and chuckled lightly. “This has nothing to do with this seat.”

To deny is to admit!

If [Sky-Shrouding] hadn’t spoken, it would have been fine. But as soon as he spoke, the world’s Perfected Lords immediately pinned the blame for the anomaly on him and were about to attack again.

On the contrary, Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue, who had just been charging at the front and was toughest against [Sky-Shrouding], narrowed her eyes. Seeming to have guessed something, not only did she stop attacking, but she also proactively put distance between them, carefully sensing the state of the Dao Fruit. A look of astonishment appeared in the depths of her beautiful eyes.

Chong Guang…

Rumble.

In the next second, thousands of magnificent colors emerged above the dome of the sky. [Wu You Heaven] opened wide, revealing a figure sitting cross-legged within, radiating spirited vigor.

“It’s that Dao Fruit achieved through Void Attainment…”

“Mu Changsheng picked a good time. Compared to him, [Sky-Shrouding] is still more important. Let’s leave him be for now; dealing with this person afterward won’t cause much harm…”

“…Wait, something’s wrong!”

Initially, the Perfected Lords were quite calm. After all, even if [Wu You Heaven] truly achieved fruition, it would just mean one more Perfected Lord at the initial stage of the Golden Core.

Would it impact the overall situation of the world?

Yes, but not much.

Therefore, at first, no Perfected Lord paid it any mind. However, soon, as the abnormal movements of the Dao Fruits grew larger and larger, some finally couldn’t sit still.

What on earth was going on?

Some Perfected Lords even suspected their own Dao Lords, thinking the Dao Lords were doing something. Otherwise, how could the changes in the Dao Fruits be affected?

“Look down.”

In the next second, Chong Guang’s figure emerged from the manifesting [Wu You Heaven]. His lips moved, and his calm, powerful voice drifted over faintly:

“Dwelling high above the heavens, how long has it been since you Lords have looked directly at the world below?”

Mystic Spirit World Realm Heavenly Court fragment, inside the [Southern Heavenly Gate].

Lu Yang’s clone sat cross-legged, quietly watching the figure before him. Not only him, but the Ancestor of the Yun Family and Perfected One Xiu Xin also saw the same figure.

Throughout the world, all cultivators who had passed the trials in [Wu You Heaven] and possessed Great Void Divine Abilities fell into a trance. As if their spirits were wandering the Great Void, they arrived at [Wu You Heaven] and stood beside Chong Guang. One, ten, a hundred… turning into an indescribable tide!

The tide rose, the tide fell.

Supported by this invisible tide, Chong Guang’s figure became increasingly clear. Steps appeared beneath his feet, and he calmly ascended them one by one.

With each step he took, [Wu You Heaven] rose a fraction higher.

And as [Wu You Heaven] rose a fraction higher, the Perfected Lords of the world discovered that their own Dao Fruits sank a fraction lower. In an instant, countless Perfected Lords changed color.

“So that’s it!”

This scene was also witnessed by Lu Yang and even Patriarch Nether Whisper inside the [Myriad Spirits Banner]. Especially Patriarch Nether Whisper, whose expression was one of indescribable surprise and admiration.

“So that’s how it is. This is the second wondrous use of the Great Void Ritual Wondrous Art that I hadn’t divined before—stealing the direction of the world’s Dao Foundations… The Dao Foundations originally used to support other Dao Fruits have been forcibly snatched away. The higher [Wu You Heaven] rises, the lower the other Dao Fruits sink!”

Patriarch Nether Whisper’s reaction was undeniably fast.

Based on his understanding of the Great Void Ritual Wondrous Art, he guessed the full picture of Mu Changsheng’s plan and Chong Guang’s current actions almost instantly.

At the same time, some Perfected Lords also realized what was happening.

You actually pulled it off…

Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue stood with her hands behind her back, her three thousand strands of black hair flying in the wind. Her gorgeous, exquisite face showed no frustration at all; instead, it carried a hint of a smile.

Unlike other Perfected Lords at the initial stage of the Golden Core who were filled with shock and anger, her cultivation was extremely high, and her Grotto-Heaven was unfalling. Her reliance on the Dao Fruit had long been greatly reduced. Although she would be affected, she wouldn’t suffer any damage from it. Instead, she revealed a look of excitement because she had vaguely guessed Chong Guang’s intention.

However, she was in the minority after all.

“Stop!”

Accompanied by a shout, heaven and earth shifted instantly. A ray of Buddha light rose slowly, revealing the Perfected Lord from the Pure Land, [Bodhisattva Precious Vase Water Moon].

Her originally gentle face was now contorted, manifesting a wrathful aspect. The white jade vase in her hand suddenly overturned and poured down.

Rumble!

Instantly, rolling river water flowed out of the vase, washing toward the direction of [Wu You Heaven], clearly intending to stop Chong Guang’s ascension.

However, Chong Guang didn’t even glance at her.

He continued to step upward. After the strike from [Bodhisattva Precious Vase Water Moon] landed on [Wu You Heaven], it actually passed right through it as if hitting thin air.

When false is taken for true, true becomes false; where non-existence is taken for existence, existence becomes non-existence.

“What a fruit of truth and falsehood. Perhaps not adept at combat, but masterful in the changes of reality and illusion. Used for preserving one’s life, it is unrivaled in the world; few can touch it…”

“He is stealing the Perfected Ones under our rule…”

“What does he want to do?”

Under the gaze of millions, Chong Guang walked all the way to the highest level of the steps. By this moment, the Dao Fruits of many Perfected Lords had already begun to destabilize.

Of course, this wasn’t enough to affect the seated Perfected Lords.

However, those not in position who were still attempting Seeking Golden Core were out of luck.

“No—!!!”

In the Heaven-Connecting Cloud Sea, Hong Yun stared dumbfounded at the Overturned Lamp Flame above his head. He saw it flicker once, then retreat into seclusion.

—Chong Guang had specifically targeted the Overturned Lamp Flame.

After all, as a Perfected One of the Saint Sect, seeking revenge for the smallest grievance was a basic quality. Since the Overturned Lamp Flame had no Perfected Lord in position, it naturally was the first to retreat into the sea of suffering.

Why is it me again!?

At this moment, Hong Yun had many profanities to scream. After all, he was really about to succeed! Yet at the final step, the cooked duck suddenly flew away?

He was still in the middle of Seeking Golden Core!

The blessed land that had just flown halfway suddenly lost its destination. How could it be maintained? It collapsed with a bang in an instant, turning into nothingness!

Boom!
