Hum~

Everyone vanished one after the other. Wu Randong made a sign when he was alone, and the gaudy pillar of light faded away.

The other seven pillars in the five lands followed suit.

Wu Randong smirked, looking at the sky, “Take care, Palace Lord.”

“Until next time, brother Zhuo.”

Wu Qingqiu and the others watched them go from a distance with cupped hands, “I really want to go as well and see the wider world outside, but...”

“But you had sect matters to attend to. I also have my clan to consider as well.”

Shangguan Qingyan shrugged, “What’s more, we have to watch over the grand array he took a century to set up and receive him at any time. He gave us harsh warnings about this. It may very well be related to his survival.”

Wu Qingqiu nodded and smiled, “Yes, he has a lot of trust in us, with his life even, to give us such a task, to cooperate with Devil Palace in guarding the grand array. We are not about to let him down! Ha-ha-ha...”

The others smiled broadly...

While they watched Zhuo Fan go, filled with respect and trust, in Ultimate Clarity Sect, the dragon ancestor blinked at the sudden disappearance of the light pillars.

[What the hell? The mortal domain isn’t open yet so why did it stop?]

Then it hit him and he raged, “Rotten cretin, you have the nerve to throw us away? Just you wait! You’re going to pay for this! We’ll wreck you so hard you’ll come back crying, begging us for help. Curses!”

“He left for good this time.”

In the North Sea, Heaven Sealing Sea Ao peeked his head out of the water, sensing the world settling, shaking his head in boredom, “Boy, take care. Who knows when you’ll be back.”

The huge head dipped back under the water.

Being around Zhuo Fan for a hundred years made him recall those ancient times he interacted with humans, filled with warmth and joy. Now, he was back to being alone...

...

Sss~

Everyone gasped in shock.

“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. In the mortal domain we were at the peak, but here we’re at the bottom, no different than common people.”

Zhuo Fan spoke coldly, “So in the Sacred Domain, if you want to hold any kind of power, you need to be a Spirit King at the very least. Anything in the mortal stages are ants. That’s why none of us have the right to show off and must keep our noses down.”

Everyone grew heavy, feeling apprehension.

They were among the top in the mortal domain and now they ended up scraping the barrel.

Zhuo Fan smirked, “But there’s no need to be discouraged. You’re at the bottom because the mortal domain’s conditions were too poor. Based on talent alone, you’re Sacred Domain monsters as well. Especially the Sword Kings. Reaching Spirit Kings Stage should be easy, taking only time. So all we need to do is endure for a while and then we can leave our mark on Sacred Domain.”

[Truly?]

Everyone’s eyes glimmered. They were all men who enjoyed status. Even though they sank to rock bottom, they now had faith they could make a comeback.

“What of Devil Mountain? Is it the same as Sacred Domain?” Bali Yuyu asked, getting the attention of everyone.

[Right, he always says he came from Devil Mountain so why are we in Sacred Domain?]

Zhuo Fan’s eyes shone, giving a sinister smirk, “Of course it isn’t. Devil Mountain is but a part of Sacred Domain. Don’t be quick to think Devil Mountain is friendly either. From now on, Devil Mountain is in fact our greatest opponent!”

Everyone shuddered.

[It’s not his sect? Why...]

Rumble~

Thunderclaps sounded from the heavens as lightning snaked about the black clouds.

Flinching, the people panicked. But then their power started boiling, like...

“Breaking through!” They all cried out.

Zhuo Fan exclaimed, “Yes, mortal domain was not just barren of spiritual energy but also being suppressed. Coming to Sacred Domain is like overcoming all adversity and thus our cultivation will soar. Especially a Sword King’s, who had been kept at the peak for too long, he’ll be rushing to advance, without a moment to lose. Damn it!”

“Why is it so bad? Isn’t advancing a good thing?”

“What do any of you know?”

Zhuo Fan frowned hard, looking at the roiling thunderclouds, “Other stage increases aside, reaching Spirit King Stage means you’re shedding the mortal coil, being remade. That means a lightning tribulation will fall on you to rebuild your meridians and purify Yuan Qi. One breaking through is fine, but the issue here is that there are so many at peak Genesis Stage. With all calling forth lightning, the power will multiply. The issue isn’t you withstanding it, but Yunhai and the rest suffering as a result.”
