History's Number 1 Founder

Shao Qingcheng’s gaze swept across Zhao Huan and the Vivant Joy Holy Man. She didn’t say anything and extended her palm towards the sky. The Heavens tore apart, and the Deadly Ice Billow of Mercury from the Celestial True Spells of the Seven Planets was initiated. Mercury’s radiance shone and converted into ice crystals that froze surrounding void space. Zhao Huan and the others were engulfed.

She was tight on time. After she captured Zhao Huan, she would try to search his soul and see whether it was Yue Hongyan and the others who left markings on Zhao Huan or Lin Feng himself.

If it wasn’t Lin Feng, she would use the formation that she had already prepared to escape quickly and rush towards the Ying Sea to rendezvous with Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu.

If it was Lin Feng, she would be entirely hopeless. She would just keep Guo Zonghuang. Even if she couldn’t obtain the Four Appearances Heaven-Cleaving Script, she’ll at least have the Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams.

After obtaining the mantra, whoever she captured would be useless. She would either kill them or dump them somewhere. The important thing was to get rid of them and not leave any traces.

While Zhao Huan was a descendant disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, his mastery was still low. Whereas Shao Qingcheng was confident of winning the Vivant Joy Holy Man when she was in the Immortal Soul First Level. Now that she had cultivated the virtual entity, she was even surer of winning him.

However, Shao Qingcheng’s supernatural awareness was slightly moved at this point and she turned to look in front of her.

In that direction, void space broke open and a human figure walked out. This figure walked into the ice crystals formed by the Deadly Ice Billow of Mercury casually.

Shao Qingcheng’s heart sank when she saw this person.

This person was tall and huge, and his flesh undulated with an immense strength that left one petrified. He was in the peak of the Immortal Soul Second Level and was only a step away from forming the Immortal Soul Third Level.

This person had an identical appearance to Zhu Yi. He was Zhu Yi’s Great Sun Avatar.

Shao Qingcheng took in a deep breath and asked, “You didn’t follow your original body into the Ying Sea?”

Zhu Yi’s Great Sun Avatar replied indifferently, “Before I went to the Ying Sea, I used the Way of the Changes to deduce the Eight Trigrams. What I got was an outer ‘Xun’ trigram and inner ‘Li’ trigram. It’s a Wind-Fire combination that gives rise to the 37th Hexagram, known as the Dwelling People. There’s a lady within, who remains unchanged.”

“Among Liang Pan’s concubines and even his empress, none of them are cultivators. Among Zhu Hongwu’s wife and mistresses, you’re the only one who has formed the Immortal Soul.”

“The idea of remaining unchanged is neutral until we give a context. At times, it can be a positive thing if we refer to a kind act. But it can be a negative thing when we refer to something wicked.”

Zhu Yi looked at Shao Qingcheng, “When I saw this hexagram, I knew that you were going to cause trouble. It’s been awhile since you’ve eyed our mantra. Liang Pan is without any misgivings now and wants to fulfil his desire.”

“In addition, I cut off all my ties with Zhu Hongwu and returned my flesh to him. If his Martial Way cultivation is not disabled, it’ll still be fine. But even with Liang Pan’s help now, he will find it difficult to cultivate that piece of flesh. After all, a person’s flesh is very exquisite, just like a small-sized universe. To fully assimilate it, one must have precise control over it.”

“His Martial Way has been disabled. He has to cultivate my past flesh if he wants to make a comeback. However, he can’t do it now. This is the dilemma. The best way to solve this problem is to steal the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ mantra.”

“After all, my past flesh cultivated the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ mantras.” Zhu Yi was calm as he spoke. However, he realized that Shao Qingcheng was turning colder and colder, “You want to cause trouble. However, there’s not much meaning in pure destruction. There’s many places that you can’t violate either. Since this is the case, it’s not difficult to guess what you’re up to by hiding in the Divine Lands.”

“As compared to other places, the Arctic State is the only place that’s in a delicate stage. The situation is messy and is extremely suitable for you to make your move on. The most dangerous place is also the safest place. You can also achieve a surprise effect. It’s the best place to capture Celestial Sect disciples.”

“There’s limited numbers of powerful cultivators over there and it requires time to rush over. Since you’ve formed the virtual entity, there’s room for you to display your skills. As long as you’re efficient and arrange a suitable escape route, there’s a chance of success.”

Zhu Yi stepped in void space and placed his hands behind his back. He walked towards Shao Qingcheng step by step.

His aura became stronger and stronger as he took each step. Very soon, his aura engulfed the entire void space.

The true meaning of the Martial Way slowly condensed into a practical form above his face and his fist will became a solid entity too. These shook the Heavens and Earth.

A light projection formed shrank and turned into a light ball. It was like the brightest star in the Heavens.

“This freak! An Immortal Soul Second Level cultivator has actually cultivated an Immortal Soul Third Level avatar!” Shao Qingcheng turned extremely gloomy as she saw this scene. Zhu Yi’s Great Sun Avatar was forming its own Dao Fruit and reaching the Immortal Soul Third Level!

It was very difficult for many cultivators to reach the Immortal Soul Third Level. But it seemed like an easy feat to Zhu Yi’s Great Sun Avatar right now.

It wasn’t only Shao Qingcheng who was stunned as she saw this scene. Even the Vivant Joy Holy Man, Grandmaster Huang Yang and the rest who saw this were shocked.

That light ball slowly entered the Great Sun Avatar’s head and combined with his flesh. His aura changed, becoming more terrifying and frightening!

Zhu Yi didn’t stop advancing forward. He spoke as he walked, “You’re my enemy. My mind has become extremely clear by capturing you. This avatar is already on the verge of the Immortal Soul Third Level. What’s so surprising for me to cultivate the way of the virtual entity?”

Shao Qingcheng turned pale. Zhu Yi hadn’t made his move yet, but his words had already determined her failure. She couldn’t escape either. His confidence rubbed off on the Great Sun Avatar and allowed him to reach a magical state, eventually breaking through the bottleneck.

It seemed as if Zhu Yi could capture her without any problem.

“Those that you arranged over at Mount Lan won’t succeed too.” Zhu Yi said. “Our Honorary Elder Flowing Waves Holy Man is over there.”

Shao Qingcheng knew that she had failed upon hearing his words. The thing that she had to worry about now was how she was going to escape.

Although she had formed the virtual entity and her mastery was extraordinary, she couldn’t think of a way to defend herself. Even though it was only Zhu Yi’s Great Sun Avatar in front of her, the result had already been determined.

“Suffering!” Shao Qingcheng shouted and the spells in her hands changed. The huge formation modified from the Celestial Sky Formation started to spin and streaks of green lights intersected in the Heavens and Earth. The sky and the ground seemed about to be flipped.

Time and space were distorted. Shao Qingcheng’s figure was about to disappear amidst the distorted space and time.

Zhu Yi’s eyes moved, and he said slowly, “I waited for you here. On one hand, I wanted to capture you to avenge my mother. On another hand, I want to use you to confirm Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu’s location. I want them to be caught even if they’re in the Ying Sea.”

While he spoke slowly, his movements weren’t slow. As his figure flashed, he left shining footprints in void space. He reached Shao Qingcheng instantly and unleash 3 fist strikes consecutively.

The 3 fist strikes combined and turned into a domineering, all-conquering fist will. This fist will stabilized the distortion in space and time, causing Shao Qingcheng to be stuck in the gaps in space!

After Zhu Yi’s fist strikes were completely unleashed, they jerked Shao Qingcheng out from the gaps in space that she tried to use to escape!

Shao Qingcheng was stunned. She couldn’t benefit from the help of the formation and couldn’t escape from Zhu Yi’s hands.

She clearly knew the consequences of landing in Zhu Yi’s hands. She revealed her virtual entity and turned into a 10 feet tall lady in a palace attire. She lifted a long bridge with her hand and the bridge shone with starlight. A light wheel could be seen spinning at the center of the bridge.

Shao Qingcheng summoned her mantras to their extremes and the Heavens above her tore apart. Mercury, Mars and Jupiter flashed together. Under Shao Qingcheng’s control, the majestic powers of the stars were supplemented onto her.

Her virtual entity shone repeatedly and turned into many small worlds. These small worlds revolved around her. It seemed as if countless worlds were revolving together.

The light wheel in the center of the long bridge became clearer and clearer.

Zhu Yi was expressionless as he witnessed all this. He said emotionlessly, “Your Heaven’s Gate mantras are too flawed.

He slapped his palm down and a light wheel started to spin quickly in the center of his palm. It seemed as if it wanted to spur the revolution of countless worlds and unleash an immense power.

That light wheel possessed a power that was clearer, more complete and stronger than Shao Qingcheng’s light wheel!

Shao Qingcheng’s light wheel became weaker as Zhu Yi’s light wheel suppressed it. It seemed as if it was going to stop spinning and was going to collapse.

Shao Qingcheng’s expression changed suddenly. She could tell that this palm of the Great Sun Avatar was Shao Dongtian’s specialty move Heavenly Hand remodified. He turned it into a Martial Way move before including it in his light wheel.

As Zhu Yi’s Heavenly Palm exerted strength, surrounding void space was locked and trapped Shao Qingcheng.

His palm moved very slowly and didn’t seem very ferocious either. It appeared totally different from normal Martial Way moves, but it was irresistible.

Shao Qingcheng couldn’t escape even though she unleashed the Celestial Spell of Elusiveness. She was completely suppressed by Zhu Yi’s palm and could only use the Heaven’s Curse and Everlasting Aerial Protection Spell to helplessly protect herself. She used them interchangeably to resist Zhu Yi’s palm.

However, it was all for naught. Shao Qingcheng could only watch as the countless spells she produced were destroyed.

She experienced a frightening feeling. It’s as if a mountain was pressed against an egg- completely unstoppable!
