Shen and Shang, will never be together…, Zhong Yue kept the golden tablet while the door slowly faded away.
A few days later, the Returning Ruins trembled. Three thousand Qi Practitioners entered the Returning Ruins, but only a handful of them returned!
It was way too shocking but was somehow understandable as well.
The A’thoer demon gods ambushed outside of Returning Ruins and while the Kun Lun celestial gods stepped in to stop them, the impact force from the godly battles had still killed countless Qi Practitioners. Even some of the Peaches of Immortality were destroyed.
However, for the whole three thousand Kun Lun Qi Practitioners to have only a handful of them surviving the tragic events, it was still difficult for the Kun Lun gods to accept it.
However, it still came as a consolation that only two demon Qi Practitioners survived from the events while the others were all killed.
Soon, another wave of shocking news spread throughout the realm: the Returning Ruins would be swallowed by the black hole and that this was the last time that the continent would appear. This meant that they would never be able to procure any more Peaches of Immortality in the future.
This news only added to the bitterness that the Kun Lun gods were already feeling.
One day right after, there was yet another breaking news — Kua Fuding of the Kua Fu Celestial Race and Peng Qianqiu of the Kun Peng Celestial Race had survived the events as well and even had Peaches of Immortality with them!
Immediately, when Peng Qianqiu and Kua Fuding’s tracks were spotted on the moon, a war broke out in the space. There were the gods that ambushed them and they were just about to snatch Kua Fuding away before the clan master of the Kua Fu Celestial Race arrived and saved him.
However, when faced with the Kun Lun gods, even the Kua Fu clan master was having a headache. There were many gods that came after Kua Fuding and Peng Qianqiu, including two strong gods who were as strong as himself.
Although these two gods masked their faces, their identities were still clear to Kua Fu clan master.
In the end, when left with no choice, Kua Fu clan master ordered Kua Fuding to expose his Yuan Shen secret realms, take out the Peaches of Immortality, and eat it in front of everyone present.
With his Yuan Shen secret realms exposed bare, the gods could clearly tell he didn’t have any Peaches of Immortality left. In addition to Kua Fu clan master’s deterrence as a lord-leveled god, they all left.
“Clan master, why me?” Kua Fuding’s heart was still thumping in fear, he was still terrified by the experience even after the gods left. He asked, “Please tell me you are not going to refine me into a medicinal pellet and eat me…?”
The Kua Fu clan master was immediately angered, he whacked the little Kua Fu expert and said, “If I had eaten it, I’d have a few hundred more years than these brats. Surely they won’t be happy about it and would drag me down together to death when they die! You, little shit, are a real lucky one!”
“Zhong Yue and Chi Xue?” Kua Fuding thought, he then said, “Forget about that Zhong Shan Clan boy, he won’t be able to survive against Western Mother Empress. Seems like all of the Peaches of Immortality has fallen into her hands… what an arse, that old hag even wanted to steal my Peaches of Immortality, so immoral! I’ll tell the world that she got all of the divine herbs as well! Oh yes, the other one, that Peng Qianqiu who survived as well, did he…”
…
On the other hand, Ma Wang God personally arrived at the moon to bring Peng Qianqiu back, but when the Kun Lun gods all came swarming in. Ma Wang God immediately handed out Peng Qianqiu, with the later’s Yuan Shen secret realms plundered empty of treasures. After all, Kua Fu clan master was a Deity Overlord while Ma Wang God was just an ordinary god.
Peng Qianqiu had a few Peaches of Immortality, most were unripe with one exception. Immediately, a war broke out in Kun Lun Realm for the ripe divine herb!
Ma Wang King was downcasted and brought Peng Qianqiu away.
Peng Qianqiu was downspirited as well, he said, “Ma Wang God, I’m sorry I can’t…”
“No, it’s fine. It’s not your fault, I’m too weak to protect the Peaches of Immortality.” Ma Wang King sighed and said, “Who knew that there would only be these few Qi Practitioners that survived? If it’s like the last few times where hundreds of the Qi Practitioners could return with the Peaches of Immortality, these gods wouldn’t have been so shameless so as to… Fine, fine, it’s all fated. I probably just don’t have the luck to keep it….”
Rays flashed across Peng Qianqiu’s eyes, and he asked, “Did the Zhong Shan Clan member make it back? As far as I know, he has many peaches! He and Chi Xue, the two of them, killed many demons and celestials…”
“The Zhong Shan Clan member and… the Western Mother Chi Xue?”
Ma Wang God was startled, he then sneered and said, “Then he will be dead anyway. The Western Mother Celestial Race is a cheeky race, they will plunder anything they need shamelessly! I’ve heard that Chi Xue is back but no news on that Zhong Shan Clan member. Most probably he is dead in her hands, with his treasures plundered by her as well.”
Peng Qianqiu then said puzzlingly, “Is this true? Ma Wang God … this Zhong Shan Clan member is a sly and cunning one, it’s not that easy to kill him, he is really strong…”
Ma Wang God then sneered again as he said, “Strong? Do you think he can be stronger than Western Mother Empress, than the Western Mother Celestial Race? Chi Xue is the strongest young cultivator of the Western Mother Celestial Race, she has already been appointed as the next Western Mother Empress. If the Zhong Shan Clan member has fallen into Chi Xue’s hands, she will devour him clean of values. Else, why do you think Western Mother Empress will appoint her as the next empress?”
Peng Qianqiu was stunned, he mumbled, “He is dead? He is really dead? Doesn’t that mean my race’s saint weapon, the Divine Wing Saber is now in the possession of the Western Mother Celestial Race? This…”
“Little friend, do you want to stay and help me in Kun Lun?” Ma Wang God asked, “Don’t worry, the Kun Peng Celestial Race is a strong race as well, I won’t treat you badly.”
Peng Qianqiu quickly answered, “Thank you for your generous offer, but I am alone here in Kun Lun. I still miss my people in the Ancestral Star.”
Ma Wang God wasn’t demanding and instead, he said, “Then you should rest a few days. I will help you in treating your injuries and after that, I will ask for a golden tablet to send you back home.”
Ma Wang God then shook his head saying, “No need to thank me. You’ve worked for me and found me a Peach of Immortality. For that, you even lost a brother. This is what I should do.”
A few days later, Ma Wang God asked for a golden tablet from the Western Mother Empire and he cast out the teleportation door. Peng Qianqiu thanked him again and said, “When I return to Ancestral Star, I will tell my people of your generosity. If fate allows it one day in the future, I will bring my people to follow your footsteps.”
Ma Wang God waved his hand, Peng Qianqiu entered the door and disappeared on the other end.
Ma Wang God kept the golden tablet and said, “This tablet is really good stuff, but what a pity I have to return it once its used. Only the Western Mother Celestial Race knows how to craft them…”
Peng Qianqiu stepped foot in the Ancestral Star once again. He looked around and saw a piece of land filled with mountains, covered in snows. But the scenery was much grander in Kun Lun when compared to the Ancestral Star.
“This little place, how was it worthy to be called as the Ancestral Star?” Peng Qianqiu shook his head, he mumbled, “Although Jinyi is killed, this was still a worthwhile trip. I’ve connected to Ma Wang God and with his help, the Kun Peng Celestial Race will be able to conquer the races and unite the Ancestral Star! This day won’t be long, it will come very soon!”
He crouched his legs and spread his wings out, butright at the moment he flew above the ground, his body stiffened. In the corner of his eyes, there was a young cultivator on top of a snowy mountain, sitting in the lotus position and surrounded with many marvelous totem patterns!
“Zhong Yue!” Peng Qianqiu’s heart thumped in fear, he could feel his heart shuddering colder than the winter as he exclaimed, “Why are you not dead yet?”
“Peng Qianqiu, if you’re still alive, how can I be dead?”
On the snowy mountain, Zhong Yue stood up and \looked at Peng Qianqiu, his voice was colder than the snowing weather as he said, “I’ve waited for a very long time, waiting for the day I send you to reunite with your dead brother!”
Peng Qianqiu’s pupils shrunk smaller, his heart thumped vigorously and when he looked back, the teleportation door already disappeared.
“Run,” Zhong Yue stood steadfast and said, “You have a chance to run. If you can escape from me, then I will spare your puny life.”
Peng Qianqiu was breathing heavily. He had no confidence against Zhong Yue anymore and simply wanted to stay as far as he could from this human cultivator.
ESCAPE! It was the only thought in both his heart and mind.
In the next second, he released a loud shout, and layer after layer of golden feathers surged out from his body. The air around was pushed out, and a vacuum space was formed around him. Then, with a flap of wings, he turned into a thousand miles Golden Peng, bolting out away at great speed!
His heart was completely swallowed by fear, every morsel of strength and energy he had was used to escape. A True Spirit magnate terrified by a Heavenly Dharma junior was definitely a disgrace to the magnate community!
Krong——
Fire started to burn around his body, then came the sparks of electricity. He was so fast that even the lightnings striking down from the sky could only flash past his sides! But with the immense speed he was flying at now, his body was also tearing up!
He could feel his muscles slowly detaching from his body, his bones shuddering violently, and his internal organs starting to break. But his speed was at its peak, faster than before, at a speed that not even Peng Qianqiu himself thought he could have achieved!
But Zhong Yue was fast!
The young human cultivator flashed to his side and launched an attack!
【Worshipping of Gods】!
The totem patterns flitted around him and turned into a huge【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】diagram. As he bowed forward, the huge Tai Chi Art came whirling from the back and sliced through Peng Qianqiu’s body like a flash of lightning.
Blood sprinkled down the sky, and Peng Qianqiu fell down in two halves. The inertia still pushed his corpse further and the two parts crashed into two snowy mountains!
“If you didn’t run, I might’ve needed ten strikes to kill you.” Amidst the blood rain, Zhong Yue walked away and his voice resounded above the mountains, “But you chose to run. So I only needed one strike to kill you.”
…
The dead Peng Qianqiu crashed into the snowy mountains and caused an avalanche down the mountains. In the end, the two halves of his corpse settled in the middle of the two snowy mountains. There, two huge birds were perched atop a withered ancient tree.
“See, I’m never wrong!”
One of the Shen Jiu raised its neck out and looked at Peng Qianqiu’s corpse, he smiled jubilantly and said, “Why the need to go look around for bodies? Just wait here and the delicacies would fall from the sky by themselves!”
“Jiu Randeng, I now realize that you are a real talent in our Ling Jiu Palace!” The other Shen Jiu praised, “Your words make so much sense!”
