Lord Xue Ying

When comparing techniques of searching for traces of a person within the Ancient Sacred Religion, Master Jia Ming was second only to the Sacred Master! By specializing in a single aspect, one would become proficient in it. In terms of searching for traces, more than half the Cosmos Gods in the world could not compare with this ninth level Star Pagoda expert, ‘Master Jia Ming’! But the leading character of the current laws and profound mysteries system ‘Forefather Tian Yu’ was not included within.

The leader of the hex cultivation, ‘Ancestor Sorcerer’ was well-known for having many methods like arrays, refinements, and using poison… he was ranked first in many of these aspects even amongst Cosmos Gods.

Forefather Tian Yu might not be as good as Ancestor Sorcerer, but he was still the current leader of the current laws and profound mysteries system. He had reached great attainments with regards to refinements, arrays and other aspects too. Things like searching for traces were what Forefather Tian Yu could easily obstruct the other party from.

“Master Jia Ming?” Saint Wang Ming could not help but lightly asked. A Cosmos God had just appeared, making him feel a huge pressure. The current Saint Wang Ming ranked at the bottom of all the Primal Chaos giants.

“Hmph, Tian Yu this old man is just at the third level of Cosmos God. He can’t break through at all. Instead, he has dabbled into many other miscellaneous techniques.” Master Jia Ming’s water incarnation said in a cold voice, “He was prepared to prevent others from finding traces of Dong Bo Xue Ying by giving a treasure to him. Furthermore, Dong Bo Xue Ying should be bringing this treasure with him all the while! As such, I was easily discovered by Forefather Tian Yu when I use my secret technique.”

“What should we do now?” Saint Wang Ming said, “What should I do to find the location of Dong Bo Xue Ying?”

“You want to find his location? If you are daring enough, you can find the Sacred Master and ask him for help.” Master Jia Ming glanced at him.

Saint Wang Ming immediately revealed an embarrassed look.

Sacred Master?

Even though he was loyal to him from deep in his heart, he felt reverence at the same time.

The Sacred Master was someone so high up, and he hated subordinates disturbing him! Just a small brat at the Unity realm… and he was to seek the Sacred Master for this matter? Saint Wang Ming felt fearful the moment he thought about it. He dared not imagine how Sacred Master would react.

“How would I dare to trouble the Sacred Master for such a small issue?” Saint Wang Ming replied.

“Then you have no other ways.” Master Jia Ming indifferently answered.

The Ancient Sacred Religion had many enemies. The other superpower would not help the Ancient Sacred Religion seek for traces of Xue Ying!

Even the other religion, the’ Ancestor Mother Religion’, did not get along well with Ancient Sacred Religion despite how the three great sacred worlds were united and filled with killing intent towards the two great religions. The Ancestor Mother was also hoping for the Sacred Master to die!

Even if they decided to conceal their identities, and spent a huge amount of Origin World Rocks to seek the help of ‘Ancestor Sorcerer’ or ‘Jade Light Master’ for help in search of traces of Xue Ying, the moment they discovered Forefather Tian Yu hiding Xue Ying’s whereabouts, they would also respect his decision.

“Actually, this Dong Bo Xue Ying is only a Unity realm expert. Why do you care that much?” Master Jia Ming indifferently responded, “It isn’t easy to enter the Primal Chaos realm from the Unity realm. Even if he breaks through, he would only be at the eighth level Star Pagoda strength in the future.”

Master Jia Ming was one of the few ninth level Star Pagoda experts.

Naturally, he was qualified to belittle others.

“His cultivation speed is extremely fast. We can’t look down on him. If he were to reach the Primal Chaos realm, he would be at the very least, an eighth level Star Pagoda expert. He might even be stronger. In the future, he would become a huge enemy of many Saints in our Ancient Sacred Religion! After all, of the many Saints… there are few who can reach up to where Master Jia Ming is at.” Saint Wang Ming said.

“Mn.”

Master Jia Ming nonchalantly replied, “Alright. Let me remind you all. Even if that Forefather Tian Yu is prepared, especially when he had discovered me unleashing my secret technique this time… that Dong Bo Xue Ying will become more careful! It is unlikely for your plans to be realized. I think you should change your initial plans.”

“We understand.” Saint Wang Ming nodded.

“Go.” Master Jia Ming indifferently ordered.

Along that, his water-condensed figure dissipated. The water flow fell back into the lake.

Saint Wang Ming respectfully bowed before retreating. He felt relatively unreconciled since he had spent Origin World Rocks to ask Master Jia Ming for help… and it failed in the end. Even though the secret technique failed, the Origin World Rocks would still be kept by Master Jia Ming!

******

Hometown Cosmos, within the Black Fog Sea Monarch Residence.

Xue Ying sat high up watching the group of disciples sparring with one another. Suddenly, his communication talisman received a message. It was sent by Forefather Tian Yu.

He read the message.

‘Ancient Sacred Religion?’ Xue Ying muttered inwardly, ‘There are actually searching for my traces? Fortunately, that day when I was dealing against the great commander of the Chief Devil Cliff, Inquisitive Sky Hall Master had personally sent me some protective treasures.’

These protective treasures were temporarily bestowed on him. He had to return them in the future when he reached the Primal Chaos realm.

Because the value of these treasures added up to more than 5,000 Origin World Rocks. It wasn’t easy to refine them again. To the current him, it was extremely useful. But once he reached the Primal Chaos realm, it was no longer useful! The rules of the Great Void Heaven Temple were–treasures had to be earned by himself. Hence, he was only ‘temporarily’ using them now.

“Many thanks Forefather, I’ll definitely be careful.” Xue Ying replied through the talisman.

Xue Ying no longer cared about it.

He was absolutely confident of himself.

Other than the precious protective treasures Forefather Tian Yu bestowed upon him, his ultra-long distance teleportation was instantaneous! This sort of fleeing technique was something even most Cosmos Gods could not hinder.

‘With the treasures given by Forefather and with my ultra-long distance teleportation! Unless Cosmos Gods personally came, otherwise, it is impossible for others to deal against me.’ Xue Ying was fully confident of his abilities, ‘But I have to be a little more careful. It isn’t appropriate for me to reveal my techniques of ultra-long distance teleportation.’

Being able to utilize this technique at the Unity realm?

That was something unheard of, at least in the reports publicly announced! The moment Xue Ying’s ultra-long distant teleportation technique was revealed, it would attract the attention of Cosmos Gods. They might even capture him directly before scouring through the memories of his soul!

…

Year passed by year.

The days were spent in utmost satisfaction. In the past, he felt really pressured for the sake of letting his wife transcend. He had even gone to the ‘Palace Hall of Time’ to cultivate. A period had been converted into hundred periods for him to cultivate! Now that his wife had transcended, Xue Ying became really carefree. His heart realm was no longer the same. He would frequently guide his children and disciples, research and study the Dao of Mirage, Walker’s Hidden Secret, Plate Ripple Diagram, the Vermillion Nightmare inheritance…

Now that he was no longer urgent, Xue Ying spent his days in bliss.

Ever since the Ancient Sacred Religion failed to find traces of him, there were no longer any movements from them.

In the blink of an eye, about five million years or so passed.

‘Wu? I’ve finally comprehended the sixth transformation of this Vermillion Nightmare Eight Transformations.’ Xue Ying who was located in the Black Fog Sea Monarch Residence suddenly felt understanding dawning on him. He revealed a joyous look before taking a step and proceeded with an ultra-long distance teleportation. He directly teleported to the Daoist Elder cavern dwelling cultivation room in Myriad Ancient Sacred World.

His stealthy movements were things the disciples of Green Peng Sect did not know of.

“Hua~”

Within the cultivation room.

A large amount of red crystals and several black wood blocks were placed around Xue Ying. The energy from these materials was being absorbed into the body of Xue Ying strand by strand. Behind Xue Ying, the aura coming from that huge fiery red divine bird, ‘Vermillion Nightmare’ which had spread out its huge wings, was becoming stronger and stronger. Eventually, all the red crystals and black wood blocks turned into powder. The powder contained leftover impurities.

Very soon.

The fiery red divine bird, ‘Vermillion Nightmare’, behind Xue Ying let out a resounding cry. Its wings began flapping, causing a red aura to start spreading out in all directions.

“Keep.” This Vermillion Nightmare totemic image fused back into the body of Xue Ying.

The next moment, a fiery red Vermillion Nightmare marking appeared on the forehead of Xue Ying. And when Xue Ying opened his eyes, this marking gradually disappeared into his skin.

‘I’ve finally cultivated the Vermillion Nightmare inheritance to the limits of the Unity realm, and have completely dug out its potential.’ Xue Ying revealed a grin, ‘After this, I can finally start altering the core of the Vermillion Nightmare, allowing it to metamorphose.’
