911: Chapter 912 Heavenly Origin Awakens with Thunder

High in the air, Liu Qingyao stood still, her gaze fixed on the direction where Xiao Ruobai had disappeared, lingering for a long time.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and her fingertips rubbed gently inside her sleeves.

Zhao Qian was dead.

He died under Xiao Ruobai's halberd, in front of thousands of people.

This matter could not be concealed, nor could it be suppressed.

Once the news reached the Sect, the Master of Xuanwu Peak and the Third Elder would surely be enraged.

By then, it wouldn't just be Xiao Ruobai; his four companions, and perhaps even more, could be implicated...

She let out a soft breath, her eyes narrowing slightly.

This matter could only be decided by her father.

She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

Turning around, her white robes fluttering, she quietly followed in the direction where Xiao Ruobai and the other four had left.

...

At the very moment the slaughter in the depths of the Wanxiang Secret Realm came to an end, at the Yunmiao Heavenly Ruins, atop Zizhu Peak.

Gu Changge leaned lazily against a bamboo chair, while Ji Qingyi, dressed in a plain, light green dress, stood gracefully by his side.

Her slender fingertips gathered a wisp of warm Spiritual Qi, gently massaging his aching shoulders and neck with delicate, careful movements.

Gu Changge gazed calmly into the distance, his vision piercing through the endless Void Realm, landing directly within the distant Wanxiang Secret Realm of the Tianyuan Sect.

The entire Tianyuan Sect, along with the independently created Secret Realm space, was completely enveloped under his Invincible Domain.

Every blade of grass, every tree, every movement within the Sect, and even the flow of every wisp of Spiritual Qi in the Secret Realm, could not escape his perception.

Watching Xiao Ruobai calmly collect all the storage rings of the Xuanwu Disciples, stun the entire crowd with a single question, and leave with composure.

A faint smile curled the corners of Gu Changge's lips, his eyes devoid of any hostility, filled only with a sense of gratification.

"His mind is steady, his actions measured, and even with newfound confidence, he remains free of arrogance. It was not in vain that I sent them out to gain experience."

He understood Xiao Ruobai's reservations; it was nothing more than fear of the Tianyuan Sect's Heavenly King Elders, and a worry about bringing trouble to his companions.

Yet, walking the path of the Heavenly World, soft-heartedness and forbearance only lead to being constrained at every step. Since they are already enemies, there is no need to leave any room for mercy when uprooting the source of trouble.

Nearby, in the direction of the Enlightenment Platform, five majestic, mountain-like Heavenly Venerate auras rose and fell, with purple-gold Dao Rhyme weaving across the sky.

It was Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, Lao Huang, Jimie, and Yue Liuli.

The five Dao Fruits had been completely refined, and at this moment, layers of Dao rings surrounded the five of them.

The heavy Dao might of the Peak Heavenly Venerate realm enveloped the entire Zizhu Peak, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi spontaneously bowed in reverence.

Among them, the demonic light around Xiao Hei was the most brilliant, with purple-gold dao patterns flowing across its pitch-black scales.

A nine-layered Heavenly Venerate Dao wheel circled its body, its aura faintly exceeding the Peak of the ninth layer of the Heavenly Venerate realm, having touched the threshold of the half-step Supreme realm.

Gu Changge's thoughts shifted slightly.

On the Enlightenment Platform, Xiao Hei's body gave a slight jolt, then it opened its eyes and transformed into a streak of black light, landing before the bamboo chair.

"Ruobai and the others are currently at the Tianyuan Sect. You must set off immediately, conceal your presence, and protect them from the shadows."

Gu Changge paused, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes:

"If Sect Master Liu Zhenshan can suppress the situation, you do not need to reveal yourself. If he cannot—kill everyone who is causing trouble."

Xiao Hei let out a soft cry, a sharp glint flashing in its eyes, carrying a touch of irrepressible excitement.

It silently tore through the Void Realm and fled towards the direction of the Tianyuan Sect in the Desolate Domain.

After arranging Xiao Hei's departure, Gu Changge scanned casually, his gaze falling in a more distant direction.

There, a slender figure was speeding across the wilderness.

Her Devouring Dao Domain was fully unfurled around her, with several murderous figures chasing behind her.

Ling Xi.

Her cultivation had remarkably reached the third layer of the Heaven-Reaching realm, a significant improvement from before she left.

Clearly, the solitary training during this period had greatly benefited her Devouring Great Dao.

Although she was being hunted, her aura was steady and her pace was not chaotic, clearly indicating she had not fallen into a true desperate situation.

Instead, it seemed as if she was using the pressure of her pursuers to polish her own Dao Domain.

Gu Changge watched for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Third layer of the Heaven-Reaching realm, the Devouring Great Dao is more mature. The path of solitary training was indeed the right choice."

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Yue Liuli on the Enlightenment Platform, saying indifferently:

"Liuli, you go as well. Follow Ling Xi and protect her from the shadows. Do not take action unless it is a true moment of life and death."

Yue Liuli nodded slightly without a word, her figure transforming into a streak of light as she pursued in the direction of Ling Xi.

Xiao Bai, Lao Huang, and Jimie also walked slowly to the front.

The Heavenly Venerate auras around them were mostly retracted, and they stood quietly to the side, waiting for instructions.

"You remain to guard Zizhu Peak and stabilize your dao foundation. Do not slack off," Gu Changge instructed indifferently.

The group bowed in unison to accept the order and returned to the Enlightenment Platform to calm their minds and stabilize their Heavenly Venerate cultivation.

In a corner of the Enlightenment Platform, Wang Zhan remained sitting cross-legged.

His Heavenly Azure Dao Body circulated vast Dao Rhyme, his Luck tightly connected to the broken Xuanhuang Immortal Domain, nourishing the world with his own Origin day after day.

He was completely unaware of the turmoil in the Wanxiang Secret Realm, his heart filled only with the obsession to break through the shackles of the Heaven-Reaching realm and revive the Immortal Domain.

Gu Changge looked at him from afar and nodded inwardly.

Wang Zhan was willing to carry a world forward; his Heart-Nature was one in ten thousand.

As long as he breaks through the shackles, his prospects will be immeasurable.

Tianyuan Sect, in front of the Wanxiang Secret Realm.

Sect Master Liu Zhenshan, the four Peak Masters of the Tianyuan Sect, and various Elders were seated there, with many deacons and Outer Sect Disciples behind them.

Everyone was quietly waiting for the Secret Realm, which opened once every thousand years, to end.

Many were chatting in low voices, predicting the Opportunities and gains within the Secret Realm.

Discussing which of the top Prodigies, like Tianjian Peak Personal Disciple Bai Wuchen or Ziyang Peak Personal Disciple Yanlie, could obtain the myriad phenomenon origin, presenting a peaceful and relaxed scene.

The Master of Xuanwu Peak and the Third Elder were chatting and laughing, fully convinced that Zhao Qian would definitely secure the core Opportunity of the Secret Realm this time.

Using this to charge towards the half-step Heavenly Monarch, or even the Heavenly Monarch realm, ensuring Xuanwu Peak would have another top pillar in the future.

However, this harmony only lasted for a moment before several battered figures suddenly rushed out from the edge of the Secret Realm passage.

Several Xuanwu Disciples were covered in blood, their flesh mangled, their clothes shredded by sharp blades, stumbling and crawling as they fell into the center of the plaza.

A hoarse and shrill roar tore through all the idle chatter:

"It's terrible! Senior Brother Zhao Kun and Senior Brother Zhao Qian have both been killed! Hundreds of fellow Xuanwu Peak Disciples have been slaughtered!"

A thunderclap on flat ground!

The laughter across the entire plaza was instantly cut off, and absolute silence fell.

Countless pairs of eyes focused in unison on the few severely injured Disciples.

The Master of Xuanwu Peak's Earth-Dao Spiritual Qi suddenly lost control, and he slammed a palm heavily onto the green jade table in front of him.

With a loud crack, the entire thousand-year-old green jade tabletop shattered into pieces, with rock fragments flying everywhere.

He stood up abruptly, a heavy pressure sweeping across the area, causing the surrounding Disciples to retreat repeatedly.

The Third Elder to the side was as if struck by lightning, trembling violently, his white hair dancing wildly without wind.

He rushed forward in a few steps, grabbed the leading Disciple by the collar, and roared:

"Who is so bold as to touch my Zhao family members? Is it Ziyang Peak Personal Disciple Yanlie? Or Biluo Peak Personal Disciple Chu Dao? Or perhaps that scoundrel Tianjian Peak Personal Disciple Bai Wuchen?"

In his understanding, the only ones among the younger generation capable of killing Zhao Qian were those few top Prodigies who had long been famous.

The Disciples, trembling from the Heavenly King's pressure, squeezed out a few words with shaking voices:

"No... it wasn't them. The one leading them is named Xiao Ruobai!"

Xiao Ruobai?

As this name was uttered, the entire crowd was stunned.

"Xiao Ruobai? Who is that?"

"I've never heard of that name. Which Peak is he from?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, everyone wearing a look of confusion.

At the main seat, Sect Master Liu Zhenshan's pupils contracted slightly.

Xiao Ruobai?

The Honorable One's Disciple!!

Wasn't he only at the first layer of the Heaven-Reaching realm?

How could he possibly kill Zhao Qian, who was at the ninth layer of the Heaven-Reaching realm and burning his blood essence??
