140: Chapter 140 The Way of Heaven in the Lower Realm

Bai Qingfeng closed his eyes.

He finally understood now why Bai Yu could serve as the lower realm heavenly dao.

With these Disciples, who could possibly handle it?

On the seventh day, Bai Yu emerged from seclusion.

He pushed open the door and saw the courtyard filled with people.

"Everyone's here?"

"We're all here." Bai Wuji stepped forward. "Master, did you achieve a Breakthrough?"

"Late-stage Immortal Emperor." Bai Yu stretched his limbs. "Are those three from the Eastern Region still waiting?"

"Yes. Medicine Not So is there keeping them company."

Bai Yu smiled.

"Then let's go see them."

The group walked toward the Eastern Region.

When they arrived, Medicine Not So was telling Bai Qingfeng a story.

"...And then that person died. Don't you think it's tragic?"

Bai Qingfeng remained expressionless.

"Tragic."

"Right? I think it's tragic too." Medicine Not So saw Bai Yu and immediately stood up. "Master, you've emerged from seclusion?"

"Mhm." Bai Yu walked over and looked at Bai Qingfeng. "You're the one sent by Pure Void Master?"

"Yes." Bai Qingfeng stood up. "Bai Yu, the Heavenly Dao Pure Void Master asked me to deliver a message—"

"I know." Bai Yu interrupted him. "Either hand over the position of Heavenly Dao, or we fight."

"Correct."

"Then we fight." Bai Yu turned to walk back. "Go back and tell Pure Void Master that in three days, I will be waiting for him at the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Bai Qingfeng was stunned for a moment.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive." Bai Yu didn't look back. "Tell him to be prepared."

When Bai Qingfeng returned to the Upper Realm, Pure Void Master was drinking tea in the main hall.

"Did he agree?"

"He agreed." Bai Qingfeng stood before Your Highness. "In three days, at the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Pure Void Master set down his teacup.

"What is his current cultivation level?"

"Late-stage Immortal Emperor." Bai Qingfeng paused. "He just made a Breakthrough."

Pure Void Master didn't speak; he picked up his teacup and took another sip.

"Do you think he can win?"

Bai Qingfeng thought for a moment.

"It's hard to say. The predecessor died at his hands, but that was because the predecessor was too impatient."

"I'm not in a hurry." Pure Void Master stood up. "In three days, I will let him know what the true Heavenly Dao is."

Bai Qingfeng withdrew.

Pure Void Master walked to the window and looked out at the sky.

He had heard the name Bai Yu many times.

Someone who could kill the previous upper realm heavenly dao could not be weak.

But there can only be one person in the position of Heavenly Dao.

In three days, it will be decided.

Heavenly Sword Sect.

Bai Yu returned to the courtyard, where all Fifteen Disciples were waiting for him.

"Master, are you really going to fight?" Bai Wuji asked.

"What else can I do?" Bai Yu sat down on a stone stool. "Pure Void Master won't let me off."

"Then can we help?" Lin Tian gripped the dragon emperor spear.

"You can't." Bai Yu shook his head. "In a battle between Heavenly Daos, you cannot interfere."

Everyone fell silent.

They knew Master was right.

The last time he fought the upper realm heavenly dao, they couldn't even get close.

"So we just watch?" Gu Dusheng was unwilling.

"Not watching." Bai Yu glanced at him. "Guarding."

"Guarding?"

"Yes." Bai Yu stood up. "While I fight Pure Void Master, you guard the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"Why guard the Heavenly Sword Sect?"

"To prevent anyone from causing trouble in the chaos." Bai Yu walked toward his room. "Pure Void Master won't come alone; he'll definitely bring people."

Bai Wuji realized.

"You mean he'll send people to deal with us?"

"It's possible." Bai Yu pushed open the door. "So you must hold the line."

The door closed.

The courtyard was quiet for a while.

"Senior Brother, can we really hold it?" Luo Bingli asked.

"I don't know." Bai Wuji turned toward his room. "But we have to try."

The next day.

Chu Han reinforced the Formation outside the mountain gate once again.

This time he added three layers, each stronger than the last.

"Is it enough?" Gu Dusheng squatted nearby, watching.

"Not enough." Chu Han wiped his sweat. "But this is the best I can do."

Medicine Not So was brewing something in the courtyard.

This time he was brewing Medicinal Pills for combat, three types in total.

One to replenish spiritual energy, one for the Divine Soul, and one to save a life.

"This life-saving one, can it really save a life?" Lin Tian picked one up to look at it.

"It can." Medicine Not So didn't even look up. "But it only works once; it's gone after use."

"Then save it for Master."

"Already done." Medicine Not So pointed to a small bottle nearby. "There are ten pills in there, all for Master."

Sikong Zhaiyue returned from outside.

"Each region has been checked, and there's nothing unusual."

"That's good." Bai Wuji paced back and forth in the courtyard. "Keep watching."

Sikong Zhaiyue responded and went out again.

The third day.

Before dawn, Bai Yu woke up.

He pushed open the door; the courtyard was already filled with people.

The Fifteen Disciples, every single one of them.

"Everyone's up so early?"

"Couldn't sleep," Bai Wuji said.

Bai Yu smiled.

"Nervous?"

"A little."

"Don't be nervous." Bai Yu walked to the center of the courtyard. "What must come will come."

Just as he finished speaking, the sky split open.

This crack was much larger than before, taking up nearly half the sky.

A figure stepped out of the crack.

Pure Void Master.

He wore a green robe, his expression calm, holding a sword in his hand.

The sword was ordinary, nothing special about it.

But Bai Yu could feel that the sword was not simple.

"Bai Yu," Pure Void Master looked at him.

"Pure Void Master."

The two looked at each other.

No extra words were needed.

Pure Void Master raised his hand, and three more people stepped out from behind him.

They were Bai Qingfeng, Bai Qingyun, and Bai Qingyue.

"They will wait here," Pure Void Master said. "If your Disciples try to interfere, they will stop them."

Bai Yu turned to look at Bai Wuji.

"Did you hear that?"

"I heard," Bai Wuji clenched his fists.

"Then guard well." Bai Yu turned back and looked at Pure Void Master. "Let's begin."

Pure Void Master nodded.

Both disappeared from the spot simultaneously.

When they reappeared, they were in the wilderness outside the Heavenly Sword Sect.

It was vast and uninhabited.

Suitable for a fight.

Bai Yu gripped the true immortal sword.

Pure Void Master also gripped the sword in his hand.

"I heard you killed the previous upper realm heavenly dao," Pure Void Master spoke.

"Correct."

"Then you should know that a battle between Heavenly Daos is no child's play."

"I know." Bai Yu swung his sword. "So I won't hold back."

A sword light slashed out.

Pure Void Master sidestepped and countered with a strike.

In an instant, they exchanged dozens of moves.

Every collision triggered terrifying energy fluctuations.

The ground began to crack.

Countless cracks appeared in the sky.

Heavenly Sword Sect.

Bai Qingfeng stood outside the mountain gate, watching the battle in the distance.

"Senior Brother, are we really not going to help?" Bai Qingyue asked.

"No." Bai Qingfeng shook his head. "Heavenly Dao Pure Void Master said to guard this place."

"But—"

"No 'buts'." Bai Qingfeng interrupted him. "Our task is to block Bai Yu's Disciples and prevent them from interfering."

Bai Qingyun said nothing beside him, merely staring at the fifteen people in the courtyard.

The cultivation levels of these people were not low.

The strongest two had already reached the Middle Stage Immortal Venerable.
