Chapter 1140

Reunion with the Past

“The first domain I need to experiment will have to be Dad’s Dead Zone Formation domain.” Mu Yu took out a jade piece that Ku Mu stored his domain in owing to him not being able to leave Pill Cauldron Sect. Reverend Nilei, Daoist Chu Buqu, Mu Yu and Nameless Swordsman had one each of the six jade pieces created.

“Need to call Dad for his help?” Xiaoshuai asked.

“What do I need to help with?” Ku Mu showed up inside Revealing Cauldron.

“Mu Yu is searching for suicide ideas again!”

Mu Yu shut Xiaoshuai up with a disapproving glare.

“What are you up to this time?” Ku Mu questioned.

“I... suddenly feel the urge to control your domain...”

“What?”

Eyes shut to dive deep, Tian Ran eventually opened her eyes, still unable to grasp a rule for herself. From the stone stool in the pavilion, she gazed out to the cave halfway up the mountain and asked, “A-Dai, what’s inside the cave?”

A-Dai gently released a butterfly he caught in the colourful garden. “Mm... Master said it leads to the past. I remember it was different the last time I was here.”

“Ah, it must be what Mu Yu referred to when he travelled to the past on Fiend Island.” Tian Ran performed a long exhale. “How do I invent my own domain?”

“Don’t you resonate with World Manifestation Samsara Cycle Mountain?”

“No. I have a feeling that there’s something inside the cave, but I couldn’t get in before.”

A-Dai went to push open the cave without any issues. Stepping inside, nevertheless, was impossible due to the Contiguous Horizon Formation active. “I don’t know. I thought you’d be able to figure it out once you were here since your qi is linked...” Eyes wandering, A-Dai scrubbed his head. “Did A-Mumu damage the mountain?”

“Dao artefacts don’t break.” Tian Ran went over to run her hand along the cave wall. “Eh?” Tian Ran crouched down to inspect an eight trigrams diagram by the right side of the entrance. “Maybe I should consult Mu Yu for this.”

Bai Jie, gently tapping the arm rest of the throne in the majestic palace at Sword Shadow City, asked one of the fifty-seven Apotheosis Realm adepts present, “Mu Yu and his friends found a way back?”

“Yes, Commander. Mu Yu killed my three brothers,” Shi Xiuluo reported, hands shaking with fury.

“Four against two, yet you lose three people. You’re an embarrassment,” insulted Gu Yinsheng, a bone race member.

Though one might have assumed them to be skeletons from their name, the bone race was not just walking bones as they had muscles – only that their muscles made from bone collections.

“What was that?!” thundered Shi Xiuluo.

“I said you’re useless.”

Right when Shi Xiuluo powered up to lash out, Bai Jie snorted, evoking fear that stunted Shi Xiuluo’s power and compelled him to lower his head.

“We came here to hunt, not to kill each other,” Bai Jie stressed.

“Yes, Commander.”

Gu Yinsheng continued condescendingly, “What can one measly human possibly do.”

“Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s disciple. Does that change your mind?” Bai Jie rhetorically asked.

Although he juddered, Gu Yinsheng fronted, “Sword Shadow Dust Gale may be strong, but he is no threat now that Divine Executioner has him. If his disciples were as strong, we would not be here. In my opinion, we should just raze Pill Cauldron Sect and Formation Sect to the ground.”

“Divine Executioner fears Sword Shadow Dust Gale, yet you think he would be unprepared? Keep underestimating Mu Yu, and you won’t even realise you’re dead,” Bai Jie fired back. Although Gu Yinsheng did not want to yield, he refrained from challenging Bai Jie’s authority. Bai Jie then queried, “He coated his celestial sword in black and whites qis, did you say?”

“Yes...” Shi Xiuluo recounted his experience against Mu Yu.

“By the sounds of it, he utilised Ju Mang’s Life and Death in the Blink of an Eye. Knowing Mu Yu, I have a hunch he has more than one domain up his sleeve.”
