Chapter 180：RG Veda ^ ^

So naturally, heavenly laws doesn't tolerate him. Every time he progressed, he attracted more than 9×9 Heavenly Tribulations, it was the same even when he was at Zhuji Qi. Even now, Chi Xiao Zhenren still couldn't forget the scene of a 12-year-old child walking through scorched earth after bearing a full 81 back to back heavenly lightning bolts.

His sight could accommodate all living things, but once he looked away, all living things became incorporeal. Merely a young child in Zhuji Qi, but he had already comprehended changing reality into an 'empty' state of nothingness.

Over the years, he hasn't allowed anyone to enter his sight, including the Sect Leader, including the other eleven elders, his behavior could be called surly and unreasonable. However, when he was at Yuanying Qi cultivation base, his power could overthrow a rank 3 Heti Qi master. By the time he practiced into Dujie Qi, he could rarely find opponents, and many Dasheng Qi ancestors were afraid to become his enemy.

The reason Promise Immortal Sect was able to rank first in the eight great immortal sects was by relying on Ding Guang Zhenren's deterrence. Now, this Zhenren was about to break into Dasheng Qi, could he resist the 9×9 Heavenly Tribulations?

Chi Xiao Zhenren's was secretly worried, but he didn't dare get closer to Silent Fire Peak to watch.

While pondering, the pressure dropping from heavenly law formed a huge, black as ink tribulation cloud, purple lighting collided in the tribulation cloud, issuing a loud blood curdling noise. Some disciples with shallow foundations suddenly started bleeding from the seven orifices [2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 nostrils, 1 mouth]. They fell limp to the ground, and even those of Yuanying Qi and above were unstable, fearing the raw darkness.

"All the disciples under Yuanying Qi go back to your bedrooms, come out after the Heavenly Tribulations have passed!" Fear of punishment quickly led the disciples standing around in the open pavilion to leave, then they laid out a defense array in their rooms.

9×9 Heavenly Tribulations would scare even a 9th Tribulation Loose Immortal out of their mind, it wasn't something anyone could casually watch.

After getting rid of the weaker disciples, the first drop of lightning tribulation came down on Silent Fire Peak, the glittering purple lightning was thicker than the peak, instantly swallowing everything whole.

In just a blink of an eye, the most majestic peak in Promise Immortal Sect was razed to the ground, and a tall and straight figure stood among the destruction, gently flowing sleeves, indifferently greeting the second lightning. He did not use a magic weapon, nor did he swallow a medicinal pill, and he only brandished his double-edged sword skyward to greet the last lightning tribulation.

Chi Xiao Zhenren's eyes couldn't help but widen, revealing a horrified expression.

Chi Xiao Zhenren spread out the palm of his hand, he could even catch the spiritual energy, so concentrated that it had formed into a crystal-like, sparkling and translucent material. But it quickly fled from his palm, becoming embroiled in the center of the vortex.

As a result of the surging spiritual energy, the strong wind could even cut the flesh and bones of a Yuanying Qi cultivator to pieces, if not for the Sect Leader launching a defensive array in the nick of time, Promise Immortal Sect would've suffered heavy casualties.

After nine days and nine nights, the whirlpool finally disappeared, and a figure slowly walked out of the scorched dark earth. Chi Xiao Zhenren, who'd waited for a long time, hurriedly approached him to salute, "Junior greets Grand Elder." This person was clearly younger than him, but because of his strength, he had become the most supreme existence in Promise Immortal Sect.

If his master was still alive, he was afraid that even he would also have to respectfully call the man Grand Elder. The amount of Dasheng Qi masters in Grand Heaven World could be counted on one hand, and the Loose Immortals had hidden away for many years, only the also rare Dujie masters roved about causing trouble.

But even if he was a 9th Tribulation Loose Immortal, he wouldn't dare rashly make enemies with this person, not someone who could bear seven sequences of 9×9 Heavenly Tribulations.

Ding Guang Zhenren didn't even glance at him, he waved his sleeves to command that Silent Fire Peak be restored as soon as possible, then instantly vanished in place.

Chi Xiao Zhenren sighed in relief. Grand Elder's coercion was really appalling, it had stimulated him so much that he'd would've sacrificed his Yuanshen to resist it. Fortunately, Grand Elder wasn't sociable, if he had said just a few words, Chi Xiao would've definitely humiliated himself in front of everyone.

Chi Xiao Zhenren turned around and walked back to the disciples waiting in the distance, once again restoring his insipid like the mist, dignified immortal demeanor.

"Father, was that really Grand Elder? He's completely different from what I imagined." Mo Yu's cheeks flushed as she pulled her father's sleeve.

Promise Immortal Sect's famous Grand Elder was actually such a young and handsome looking man, especially that pair of deep, cold eyes, just a glance from it could make people forget how to breathe.

"Shh, don't talk about Grand Elder in private. Go back to your room and practice." Chi Xiao Zhenren gave his daughter a warning glare, then looked back at the tranquil Silent Fire Peak in awe.

Inside the Shattered Heaven Palace, Zong Yi, that is, Ding Guang Zhenren, was fiddling with a life and death divination pan. He incessantly stirred the life and death thread on the divination pan, but he couldn't find that man's trail.

When he was at Dujie Qi, he'd had the faint premonition that the person he was waiting for would finally appear, and in his ecstasy, he'd forgotten to suppress his cultivation base and had accidentally transitioned to Dasheng Qi. In another hundred years, or maybe even a few decades, he would ascend to the upper bounds, what should he do if he couldn't find that person before then?

That conjecture actually made him unable to control his own temper, making him almost carelessly cut off the life and death thread.

Three thousand small worlds, three thousand medium worlds, three thousand large worlds, he'd searched them one by one in the past, but found nothing. But as a Dasheng Qi cultivator, he felt even more convinced of his intuition, that person must be here.

He went back to the life and death thread, searching once again, but the results were the same, not to mention a name, he couldn't even deduce that person's position, as if something had completely erased his traces.

Was it heavenly law? He suddenly sneered and discarded the divination pan, then walked out to stand in the courtyard, quietly waiting for darkness. After a few hours, when the dark sky was full of stars, he waved his sleeves, copying out a projection of the stars in front of him, using his fingertips to shift the direction of the stars to deduce that person's location.

——————

Zhou Yun Sheng survived at the bottom of the abyss for ten days, fortunately there was plenty of rain and lush, so he didn't starve to death. But the grass on both sides of his head had been eaten up, it probably couldn't support him for another ten days.

He was hungry and cold, and his whole body was racked with pain, every second alive was torture. But he still didn't want to die, he wanted to get out alive. The enemies of the Fang brothers, as well as the Lord God, should all be torn to pieces by his own hands.

The howling of wild beasts flowed out from the depths of the forest, fortunately, they couldn't find their way in because of the array, giving Zhou Yun Sheng some peace of mind.

If anyone saves me at this time, I'll devote my life to you, even if you're not my lover. He thought vaguely.

Then miraculously, a tall figure appeared in the array. He was wearing a black robe, his jet-black long hair pulled back with a thin bamboo tie, revealing an angular face, oblique sword-shape eyebrows and long and narrow, cold phoenix eyes. That pair of eyes finally rippled with emotion at the sight of the scarred boy.

He walked two steps forward, stretched out his hands, and carefully brought the boy into his bosom, gently caressing his hair. Then he sighed, his face still expressionless, "Finally, I found you."

Zhou Yun Sheng hadn't really expected someone to come save him, and from the sound of it, this person had been searching for him for a long time. He was sure that Fang Xinghai didn't know this man, and judging from his aura, the other person was at least Dasheng Qi or above.

He thought of a possibility and his eyes slightly lit up, he asked hoarsely, "You were looking for me? Do you know me?"

"You've never met me before today, but from now on, you're my disciple. I'm called Zong Yi." The man took out a medicinal pill and pushed it into the boy's mouth, his fingertips stroking his dry lips, his eyes darkening gloomily.

"Can I know why you came to save me? And why you want to accept me as your disciple? My qualifications are very bad, I'm a four spiritual roots waste wood."

"I only know that you're the person I'm looking for, no matter what your qualifications, you'll face no harm under Zong Yi. Wash out your marrow, change your fate, whatever you want, I'll deliver it to your hands." Seeing the boy's finally rosy face after taking the medicinal pill, the man's pitch-black eyes seemed to soften.

"Then, could you kiss me?" Because the Seven Star Bone Eating Nails had not yet been pulled out, Zhou Yun Sheng's internal injuries were healed, but he still couldn't move, he could only moisten his eyes to appeal to the man.

The man apparently hadn't expected him to make such a request, revealing a shocked expression. He'd lived for 400 years, but not to mention a kiss, he had never even embraced anyone else.

The boy's bright eyes dimmed, he asked disappointedly, "Can't you?"

He should never let the boy be disappointed, this thought occupied all of the man's mind, he bowed his head, his thin lips fitting onto the boy's pale lips. The boy suddenly stretched out his tongue between the seam of his teeth to explore, a grassy aroma and a faint astringent taste transferring, making the man's heart and soul tremble.

He unexpectedly didn't feel the slightest conflict, he even used his tongue to actively lick the boy's gums, the faintly bitter yet surprisingly sweet taste left him in a trance. This feeling was mysterious and wonderful, making him unable to bear being separated from the boy, but sometime during the kiss, the grassy astringent taste was replaced by a touch of salt, it was the boy's dripping tears.

He quickly let go, carefully observing his expression.

Bubbling tears gushed out from his eyes, but he couldn't stop it, rational minded Zhou Yun Sheng had never cried before, this was the first time. If anyone struggled in despair for ten days and ten nights, and finally, their most beloved person came to rescue them, they also wouldn't be able to suppress their emotions, a mixture of sorrow and exhilaration. He knew it, his lover would never abandon him, no matter what appearance he took, or where he'd fallen down to, he would always find him in time.

"You finally came, I waited for you for so long! I'd vowed that if anyone saved me, whether he was you or not, I would dedicate my life to them. But fortunately you came, or I couldn't be with you this time." Zhou Yun Sheng incoherently complained, he was too tired, he couldn't help but show his most vulnerable side.

"Don't follow others, you're mine." The man's expression was gloomy for a moment, but he gently picked the boy up. He wrapped the boy inside his large robe, rising into the air to depart, he waved his sleeves at the array's eye, shattering the pillar into powder.
