📖 Chapter 1156 - Chen Qingzi’s Plan!

19 Nov, 2023

While laughing, Chen Qingzi flicked his sleeves, causing Wang Baole to immediately fly toward Divine Emperor Split Moon. Although the pressure the Divine Emperor gave off was immense, this was actually the safest place for Wang Baole at the moment. Moreover, as Divine Emperor Split Moon was converted, the laws in his body all fragmented.

And fragmented natural laws were an excellent tonic for Wang Baole’s intrinsic scabbard!

During the conversion process, a huge amount of deathly aura spewed out into the surroundings. Wang Baole resisted the urge to inhale it and instead watched intently as Split Moon was forced to convert to the Underworld Sect’s Heavenly Dao.

To Wang Baole, the chance to watch this process was the true good fortune. If he gained enlightenment here, his divine soul and cultivation base would rise explosively!

By this point, Wang Baole had fully understood his senior brother’s plan!

He was fishing, fishing for the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao. He wanted to use the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao as nutrients for the Underworld Sect’s Heavenly Dao, then uplift the Underworld Sect’s Heavenly Dao so that it could integrate into the Never-Ending Dao Domain.

In other words, he wanted to forcibly create a situation where two Heavenly Daos coexisted in one Dao Domain!

Like this, the techniques of the Underworld Sect would no longer be suppressed. The members of the Underworld Sect who had hidden away from the world would appear once more, and they would once again be under the protection of a Heavenly Dao!

Although they would still be no match for the Never-Ending Clan, the newly-revived Underworld Sect wouldn’t be destroyed as long as their Heavenly Dao continued existing. And destroying the Underworld Sect’s Heavenly Dao after it had integrated into the Never-Ending Dao Domain was all but impossible even for the Never-Ending Clan.

When Wang Baole’s train of thought reached this point, he couldn’t help but tremble in awe. He hadn’t expected his senior brother’s plan to be so crazy. In fact, uplifting the Underworld Sect’s Heavenly Dao and allowing it to integrate into the Never-Ending Dao Domain was far easier said than done. Aside from absorbing the power of the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao, the Underworld Sect’s Heavenly Dao needed to be uplifted via sinking into nothingness.

Such a thing was extremely difficult, so… Chen Qingzi converted Divine Emperor Split Moon!

He would sacrifice a Divine Emperor in order to uplift the Underworld Sect’s Heavenly Dao!

Once this matter spread, it would definitely cause an uproar in the entire Never-Ending Dao Domain. Moreover, the conversion of Split Moon served a twofold purpose; converting the Divine Emperor would enrage and injure the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao, causing it to reveal an opening, and sacrificing him would then allow the Underworld Sect’s Heavenly Dao to complete its advancement.

‘Such cunning!’ Wang Baole inhaled slightly. He didn’t believe for a second that his senior brother had planned all this on the fly. In fact, when he thought about it more carefully, he even felt… that Chen Qingzi had been planning everything since a long time ago!

After weakening the Never-Ending Clan bit by bit, he had revealed an opportunity and lured Split Moon into attacking him. After that, he took control of the spell formation and gradually attracted the attention of all sides. Then, the Never-Ending Clan arrived at the gray region, and now even the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao had descended.

‘Perhaps… in the outside world, hidden away from everyone’s eyes… cultivators of the Underworld Sect are waiting for their chance!’ Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He felt that there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that his guess was correct.

After all, the significance of this event for the Underworld Sect couldn’t be understated. No matter how confident they were in Chen Qingzi, this was the Never-Ending Dao Domain. Thus, they definitely had other hidden arrangements.

Suddenly, Split Moon’s miserable scream interrupted Wang Baole’s train of thought, and he focused back on the events happening around him with shining eyes. Beyond the sky of the central furnace’s world, the golden beetle incarnation of the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao let out an utterly furious roar as it continued releasing its power in an attempt to stop Split Moon’s conversion.

At the same time, the void behind the golden beetle twisted, and a tall figure appeared. This figure… was Divine Emperor Mystic Blossom. As soon as he appeared, he looked down at Chen Qingzi.

"Chen Qingzi! Just what are you thinking, treating my Never-Ending Clan like this?” Mystic Blossom spoke slowly, but his words reverberated like thunder, rumbling in all directions throughout the starry sky. As his words spread, they seemed to tug on the natural laws of the universe, turning into threads that shot toward Chen Qingzi.

The Never-Ending Heavenly Dao seemed to receive a sudden boost, and it immediately roared, increasing the amount of aura it sent into the central furnace. Split Moon, whose conversion seemed to be inevitable, suddenly trembled. The conversion process slowed, then stopped, and then… began to reverse!

“I… just want to repent for my sin.” Chen Qingzi sighed and chuckled in self-deprecation. He took a sip from the jug of wine in his hand, then formed a hand seal and tapped the wooden sword flying around him. The sword instantly emitted bright light, releasing a ray of sword qi that sliced through the starry sky. As the slash closed in on Divine Emperor Mystic Blossom, it seemed capable of sundering heaven and earth.

Chen Qingzi’s laughter gradually grew louder. Lifting his foot, he stepped on the void and began walking forward.

“Until this heaven and earth separate, no end shall come to cycle of fate…

“Scenes of the past life cannot be known; this life can only reap what was sown…

“The next life is cloaked in obscure mysteries; but our actions in this life will still sow the seeds…”

As the ancient Ballad of the Underworld echoed forth from Chen Qingzi’s mouth, his laughter seemed to take on a strange tone. Wang Baole actually couldn’t tell if he was laughing or crying.

Singing the Ballad of the Underworld, Chen Qingzi walked step by step toward Divine Emperor Mystic Blossom.

By the time the third line of the Ballad of the Underworld rang out, Chen Qingzi had already walked out of the central furnace and appeared in the gray region outside. Sword-light flashed, and the entire gray region instantly rumbled, as if it was being split apart.

Mystic Blossom instantly backed away. His complexion was dark as he let out a low growl.

“Chen Qingzi, the destruction of the Underworld Sect is fated to be. You should already know that the return of Never-Ending cannot be stopped!”

However, Chen Qingzi just took another sip of wine and shook his head. A hint of madness appeared in his eyes as he laughed.

“Noisy!”

After shouting, Chen Qingzi took another step toward Mystic Blossom and tapped his sword again!

Horrifying rumbles instantly spread in all directions. Outside, the cultivators of the myriad factions all backed away as they saw a peerless sword light suddenly split the starry sky, opening up the gray region and revealing… Divine Emperor Mystic Blossom’s three-headed, six-armed true form, as well as the man walking toward him step by step… Chen Qingzi!

A long azure^[1] robe fluttered behind him, and a jug of wine was held loosely in his hand!

Despite not being a woman, Chen Qingzi’s figure as he walked forward at this moment could even be described as peerlessly beautiful!

Rumbles broke out as a fierce battle began!

With Chen Qingzi intercepting Mystic Blossom, the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao lost a significant amount of power. Split Moon’s conversion process instantly resumed, as did Wang Baole’s good fortune.

During Split Moon’s conversion process, mysteries of Dao rose from his body and entered Wang Baole. Meanwhile, his fragmented natural laws shot straight into the intrinsic scabbard.

There was also the power of the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao that was meant to reinforce Split Moon. Because of Wang Baole’s close proximity, he was able to absorb a little bit.

Wang Baole couldn’t help but tremble. In an instant, the power of his divine soul, cultivation base, and fleshly body all skyrocketed!

This kind of good fortune vastly surpassed any ordinary opportunities. After all, there was almost nothing in this world that could compare to the Dao mysteries scattered by a Divine Emperor’s conversion.

Moreover, there was also the power of law originating from the clash between two Heavenly Daos.

Each invisible clash was a clash between natural laws. And as the only witness, Wang Baole was able to obtain indescribably profound enlightenment of these natural laws.

In a short period of time, his divine soul reached the peak of the late-stage Eternal Star Realm. His cultivation base also made progress, closing in on the peak of the middle stage.

With the growth of his cultivation base and divine soul, the immortal power within his body grew as well. His Eternal Dao Star appeared, as well as his nine Eternal quasi-Dao Stars and ten thousand Special Stars. All were undergoing shocking changes.

The shadows of Wang Baole’s past lives also appeared, absorbing the power of law as if inhaling it. And in the end… an illusory black wooden board loomed above him!

“Out of my divine soul, cultivation base, and fleshly body, at least one has to step into the Star Domain Realm this time. It’ll be good if I can do it with all three… but I have to breakthrough with at least one!” A stubborn gleam appeared in Wang Baole’s eyes. He went all out to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
