Chapter 530: The Nine Supremes Must Die!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The purple gas emerged vaguely.
It was the second time he managed to peek at it but he still could not help exclaiming in disbelief, rubbing his eyes to reconfirm what he saw.
It was a long time before a very faint purple ray beamed downwards through the fog of clouds. It rose a little in the clouds before it vanished. The entire process so short!
In spite of it, the incredibly brilliant purple radiance was so tangible that it was hard to forget once one saw it!
"The Gaseous Purple Celestial Pole…" The white-robed man muttered to himself, "So this is it. It's an overkill for the Gaseous Purple Celestial Pole to dictate mortals' imperial power. Who'd know that the Empire of Yutang actually possessed something like this? What providence in this world can compete with such a power? The spiritual dynamic would be ruined if Yutang doesn't rule Tianxuan!"
"But… hmm, this isn't right… this isn't right at all."
The person in white gown frowned. "Five of us have previously observed the countries' providence and the Residence of Nine Supremes was our main observation target. We didn't notice the Gaseous Purple Celestial Pole earlier."
"If it was already there then it would have been impossible for us not to notice it. Such a mistake would never exist!"
"Besides, The Purple Star was already shining at Dongxuan previously. If Yutang already had the Gaseous Purple Celestial Pole, The Purple Star would have been suppressed and attracted to Yutang, moving here instead; then, our judgement wouldn't have been wrong!"
"Hence, this Gaseous Purple Celestial Pole hasn't been here for long, it's could only have emerged recently…"
"Furthermore, it may have appeared due to very specific reasons. If that is the case, then it's not too much of an injustice that we were wrong."
"It's just that… how can a mere worldly nation give rise to such a unique providence that is the Gaseous Purple Celestial Pole?"
"Such divine providence can only be born after many years of the continent being united. It can only be conjured with the accumulation of hundreds of years of imperial providence from a super empire."
"What's going on? Why has such a drastic change occurred in just a few short months? What has happened to cause this change?"
Considering his analysis, the white-robed man felt a tingling chill run through his body.
"The Nine Supremes' providence had obviously dissipated earlier, but such powerful divinity has remained hidden in the Residence of Nine Supremes. This isn't normal, it isn't logical at all."
Even after much consideration, he was still left feeling stumped.
Accompanying him was a muscular man. He stood sluggishly beside the white-robed man and looked at him with a sideways glance. He too was at a loss.
But upon hearing the white-robed man finally speak, he interrupted him, "Eldest senior brother, this young brother doesn't see this matter as being rare. As long as someone really wants to do it, it can easily be done."
The eldest senior brother frowned. "Huh? What do you mean?"
Although he was surprised, he also thought to himself, "Even the wise are not always free from error while a fool may give the wise man a good counsel. Could it be that I actually missed out something in my wise thinking while this dummy here hit the jackpot by thinking of something that I didn't?"
Considering that this might be a possibility, he dared not take the situation lightly, staring instead at the muscular man with anticipation.
The man suddenly felt respected. With a sideways glance, his arms rested on his back as he said seriously, "It's just an example of adopting a strong point to cover for one's weakness. As long as there's some trick to absorb all of one country's national providence among the five great empires and carry it swiftly to another country, that would be combining two national providences into one. It will instantly form a national providence that's several times more than the other countries. Doubling it, the level will definitely be much more. Isn't this theoretically possible?"
The man in white was both shocked and enraged. "Ridiculous! What absurd nonsense!"
"Eldest senior brother, what are you saying? This isn't impossible," said the muscular meanwhile staring at his companion cockeyed.
"Nonsense! Shut up!" The person in white bellowed, "Do you know what it means to absorb the destiny of a country?"
"Not really," said the big man honestly while squinting his eyes.
"Do you know that even if it's a deity, one is still unable to take the national destiny of a country?"
"No!"
"Isn't it so much simpler if the providence can be manipulated? So many capable ones can't participate in the war just because they're afraid of the destiny retaliation! Do you get it?"
"No… uh…"
"If you don't, then shut your mouth!" Green veins were popping up on the white-gowned man's forehead.
"Uh."
"A mongrel like you would never be able to understand the complex relationship of these things. Based on our current situation, this unexpected factor must be at the Residence of Nine Supremes."
The man clad in white continued grimly, "Next, I'd have to go to this Residence of Nine Supremes and maybe talk to the sole remaining Supreme Cloud."
"A talk should take place indeed." The man overlooked the mountain below with a squint, not at all offended from being called a mongrel.
"Baozi, send out a message to the School, let the few of them come to Tiantang City." The man sighed heavily and continued, "I'm pretty sure that the source of this sudden change is here. As long as the hidden issue in the Residence of Nine Supremes is resolved, everything will go back to how they were - the destined course."
"The Residence of Nine Supremes, or the last Supreme standing, is the source of this current variable."
"Perhaps if the remaining Supreme is killed, everything will be resolved!"
"Otherwise, if the Supreme Cloud doesn't die, the Gaseous Purple Celestial Pole might remain in the Residence of Nine Supremes forever. Yutang will never fall and Dongxuan's world hegemony will truly be a joke!"
"Yes!"
The cockeyed Baozi went to relay the message without hesitation.
The person in the white gown cast his gaze downwards, his stare flickering with a violent intent to kill.
"The Nine Supremes is where the crux of this matter lies!"
"The Nine Supremes' Supreme Cloud must die!"
"Otherwise, the School of Kismet State's hundreds of thousands of years of reputation will collapse and vanish!"
…
Yun Yang would never have expected, even in his wildest dreams, that disaster would fall from the sky despite him staying at home. He had suddenly acquired another formidable foe other than the Four Seasons Tower – it was even more mysterious and accomplished than the tower!
At that moment, however, Lord Supreme Cloud, who was being targeted for murder by two very reputable organizations, was stuttering in nervousness while trying to explain something.
…
The Residence of Yun – secret chamber.
Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan were like two raging lionesses who sat on chairs and stared straight at Yun Yang.
"Young Master Yun, I think both of us should have the right to know something!"
Yun Yang broke out in cold sweat, thinking, "Of course both of you have this right but the problem is how do I tell you? I honestly can't reveal it to you!"
What Yun Yang regretted the most now was that he had destroyed the Supreme Wind's will.
Facing Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan, Yun Yang was tongue-tied. His throat was parched, his eyes widened; he mumbled, "Both of you," he coughed, "be patient. Let me think through my words. It," he paused slightly, "has been long a time and my memory isn't too good, I need to rack my brain a little."
"Has it really been too long?" Yue Rulan replied coldly, "It's only been a year or two. How long has it been? Eighteen months, twenty-four months or a thousand days?"
