Chapter 850
Breaking the Law Heavenly Sect
Emperor Qian Wudi looked at Qian Guanyu with some trepidation.
When Qian Guanyu fell from the sky, his right arm was severed at the shoulder, and his body was covered in blood.
However, his severed arm has now regrowed.
For a powerhouse at the half-step Primordial Realm, this is not a major problem.
The two of them tacitly avoided mentioning what had happened before.
Whether it was Qian Guanyu's serious injury and defeat, or Qian Wudi's premature escape, both were extremely shameful.
Saying it now will only embarrass me and serve no other purpose.
“Ancestor Guanyu, I think that someone might be deliberately targeting our Great Qian Dynasty.”
Su Mu must have someone backing him; otherwise, he could never have achieved his current strength.
Qian Wudi asked cautiously, "Ancestor Guanyu, do you know which powerful enemies are lurking within our Great Qian Dynasty?"
A thoughtful expression appeared on Qian Guanyu's face, and a hint of admiration flashed deep in his eyes.
That just goes to show how smart the reigning emperor is.
He hadn't thought of any of that at the time.
However, speaking of the formidable enemies of the Great Qian Dynasty...
"You guessed right."
Qian Guanyu pondered and said, "There are actually a few places in this world similar to my Great Qian Dragon Hidden Mountain."
Those places are hiding some extraordinary old monsters.
They've always wanted to seize the resources of our Dragon Hidden Mountain. If they secretly cultivated Su Mu to overthrow our Great Qian Dynasty, then everything can be explained.”
The more Qian Guanyu spoke, the more serious his expression became. "I see!"
These people are courting death if they want to destroy the foundation of my Dragon Hidden Mountain!
Invincible, you reorganize the Great Qian army and hold out for a while longer. I will return to Longyin Mountain to find the Ancestor.
"They think they can destroy my Great Qian with these methods? They're delusional!"
Hearing Qian Guanyu say this, Qian Wudi breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems this matter has been smoothed over.
It would be more appropriate for Ancestor Guanyu to seek help than for the current Emperor Qian to do so.
He had already been there once; if he went again, he feared it would only annoy the old ancestor.
However, Qian Wudi also had some doubts in his heart, wondering if the ancestors in Longyin Mountain would go all out this time.
It seems that Ancestor Guanyu doesn't quite understand how terrifying Su Mu is.
What makes Su Mu so terrifying is not just his strength, but also his speed of growth.
Almost every time he met Su Mu, Su Mu's strength was greater than the last time.
Such a rate of improvement should theoretically be impossible.
This is what makes Su Mu so terrifying.
His cultivation level not only improved extremely quickly, but also seemed to have no upper limit.
"Ancestor Guanyu said that there are several places in the world that are similar to Dragon Hidden Mountain. Why have I never heard of them before?"
Watching Qian Guanyu's departing figure, Qian Wudi pondered to himself, "What kind of place is Dragon Hidden Mountain? Is it more than just a mountain?"
Could this be the secret of the Primordial Realm?
As Qian Wudi pondered, someone suddenly came in to report.
Qian Wudi's face darkened, and after a long while, he finally let out a cold snort.
"Let him in!"
A moment later, a person appeared in front of Qian Wudi.
It was none other than the Eternal Heaven.
"Eternal Heaven, how dare you come to see me?"
Emperor Qian said coldly.
"Why wouldn't I dare? Emperor Qian, you and I are partners. Cooperation benefits both of us, while separation harms both. I have come to see you for our future."
"The Eternal Heaven said."
Previously, he and Emperor Qian joined forces to deal with Su Mu, but when he saw that things were not going well, he fled in advance, and afterwards he and Emperor Qian parted ways.
After that, Emperor Qian never saw the Eternal Heaven again.
He didn't know where Changshengtian had gone.
When the Eternal Heaven returned this time, Emperor Qian always felt that the Eternal Heaven had come to mock him.
After all, their Great Qian Dynasty had just suffered a defeat at the hands of the Yanfu Sect.
"Emperor Qian, I'm here to help you."
The Eternal Heaven spoke with righteous indignation.
"Help me? You're barely able to save yourself, and you want to help me?"
Emperor Qian sneered, "Do you think I need your help?"
"Emperor Qian, if being stubborn were useful, Su Mu would already be a corpse by now."
Chang Shengtian said disdainfully, "Emperor Qian, I know you want Su Mu dead, and I can help you."
"Chang Sheng Tian, your Da Luo Tian has been taken away by Su Mu. Don't you think it's a bit ridiculous to tell me this now?"
Emperor Qian sneered, "If you really can kill Su Mu, then I think Su Mu would already be a corpse."
The two glared at each other, both looking down on the other.
After a long silence, it was Emperor Qian who spoke first.
After calming down, the two naturally understood the relationship between them.
Since it's all about mutual benefit, there's no need to have high expectations of each other.
"Eternal Heaven, tell me, what other trump cards do you have up your sleeve?"
Emperor Qian Wudi said, "Since you've come to me, you must have a way to deal with Su Mu, right?"
"Emperor Qian, have you ever heard of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect?"
Chang Shentian spoke with a solemn expression, enunciating each word clearly.
"The Beast Taming Heavenly Sect?"
Qian Wudi frowned. "There are countless sects in the Great Thousand Worlds, and quite a few of them are named after beast taming. Not to mention the numerous lesser worlds. Which one are you referring to?"
"neither."
Chang Shengtian shook his head and said, "Since you ask this question, it means you are unaware of the existence of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect."
It seems I was right; even your Great Qian Dynasty is unaware of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect.
"Qian Wudi, I can tell you that the strength of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect far surpasses that of your Great Qian Dynasty."
"That's absolutely impossible!"
Qian Wudi said decisively, "Although the Great Thousand World is vast and boundless, the strength of my Great Qian Dynasty is definitely among the best. If you say that there is a sect whose strength is far above that of my Great Qian Dynasty, and I don't even know of its existence, that's impossible."
"Impossible? The world is so vast, how much can you possibly understand? You didn't even know about the existence of my Great Luo Heaven back then."
If I hadn't accidentally revealed my whereabouts, you wouldn't even know about the existence of the Great Luo Heaven.
"If I can do this, what chance do those stronger than me have?"
Chang Shengtian said, "I have contacted the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, and they are willing to send powerful experts to help us kill Su Mu."
What do they want?
Emperor Qian Wudi blurted out.
As the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, he knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
Even if what Changshengtian said is true, a powerful sect wouldn't help them kill Su Mu for no reason.
After all, Su Mu was no weakling; anyone who wanted to kill him would have to pay a price.
This is not as simple as just lifting a finger.
"It's very simple."
Chang Shengtian said, "If Su Mu dies, then all the territory he left behind will belong to the Beast Taming Heaven Sect."
This doesn't represent a loss for your Great Qian Dynasty.
Qian Wudi was stunned for a moment, then his face flashed with anger.
Is this what you mean by the Great Qian Dynasty suffering no losses?
Admittedly, what the other party wanted was Su Mu's territory.
But don't forget, if the Great Qian Dynasty defeats Su Mu, all those territories will belong to the Great Qian Dynasty.
Now, the other party wants to take over half the country with just one sentence?
Qian Wudi suddenly understood the purpose of Changshengtian's visit.
The Eternal Heaven's visit was likely intended to persuade him not to interfere while the other side occupied Su Mu's territory.
Otherwise, even if the other side could kill Su Mu, the Great Qian Dynasty could still send troops to seize territory.
Given the strength of the Great Qian Dynasty, it is still possible to seize most of the territory from the other side.
"Qian Wudi doesn't need your Great Qian Dynasty to do anything. Just stand by and don't interfere, and you'll have one less major enemy. Why not do that?"
"The Eternal Heaven said."
"What a joke! We've lost one major enemy, but now we have the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect as another. You call that a good thing?"
Qian Wudi sneered, "Chang Sheng Tian, you think my Great Qian Dynasty can just sit idly by and let you occupy half of the country? You're dreaming."
I'm not afraid to tell you, the foundation of my Great Qian Dynasty will be mobilized soon. He is a true Tai Chu Realm expert, and once he makes a move, Su Mu will be easily captured.
If you want to compete with the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect for it, you'd better act quickly.
Qian Wudi exuded arrogance, straightened his back, and said with a sneer, "I don't care which grave the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect crawled out of. If they want to compete for the world, then let them do it with their own abilities."
"Whether or not someone can kill Su Mu depends on whose methods are superior!"
Su Mu was unaware that he had become a tool for the competition between Changshengtian and Qian Wudi.
He was now staring in astonishment at the person who had appeared before him.
Huang Chao, former leader of the Hengshan Sect!
Su Mu met Huang Chao after defeating Qian Guanyu.
Huang Chao suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
When Huang Chao arrived, his cultivation had already broken through to the half-step Primordial Realm, making him no less powerful than Su Mu.
When Su Mu helped Lu Yin break through, Huang Chao was actually with him, but the power of the Primordial Remains was useless to Huang Chao.
Later, Huang Chao was provoked and went on a solo journey; no one knew where he went.
Fortunately, Huang Chao was a Dao Realm expert, so the others were not worried about his safety.
So even after there was no further news of Huang Chao, no one thought that something had happened to him.
But no one expected that Huang Chao would return so suddenly, and with a cultivation level of half a step into the Primordial Realm.
"Senior Huang, what kind of opportunity have you encountered? In such a short time, you have actually broken through to the half-step Primordial Realm. Congratulations!"
Su Mu cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile.
"Who dares to claim they cultivate quickly in front of you? I thought I could surpass you this time, but I never expected—"
Huang Chao also looked helpless, shaking his head with a wry smile.
He was also taken aback when he saw Su Mu defeat Qian Guanyu.
What incredible luck did he have to break through to reach his current level?
But Su Mu didn't have any special opportunities. He simply went into seclusion in the Great Xuan Dynasty and broke through to the half-step Primordial Realm.
Huang Chao thought it was impossible.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe.
"Senior Huang, we don't need to flatter each other like this."
Su Mu shook his head and said, "Senior Huang, since you are already at the half-step Primordial Realm, you should be able to see our current situation."
"Have you returned to help the Great Qian Dynasty, or do you intend to stay with me?"
Even if Su Mu defeated Qian Guanyu, he could not ignore a half-step Primordial Realm cultivator.
However, even if Huang Chao really intends to return to the Great Qian Dynasty to help Qian Wudi, Su Mu will not stop him.
But Yokoyama Munechika will definitely not let go.
Out of respect for the Hengshan Sect, Su Mu might spare Huang Chao this time.
"Qian Wudi and I have long since severed all ties, and there is no way I can return to the Great Qian Dynasty."
Huang Chao shook his head and said, "But I have to tell you, you've gotten yourself into big trouble."
"Oh?"
Su Mu remained calm and slowly said, "Senior Huang, are you referring to the Great Qian Dynasty?"
"Yes and no."
Huang Chao said, without keeping him in suspense, “With your current strength, the Great Qian Dynasty can no longer do anything to you, but behind the Great Qian Dynasty is the Ziwei Heavenly Sect.”
That's what's truly terrifying.
"The Purple Star Heavenly Sect?"
Su Mu asked with some surprise, "What is this being? Why have I never heard of it before?"
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it; I've never heard of it before either."
Lu Yin explained, "These Heavenly Sects have always been hidden in the Nine Heavens, and ordinary people have no way of knowing about them."
Even we Dao Realm experts are not qualified to know about the existence of the Heavenly Sect.
If it weren't for a fortuitous chance that led me into the Heavenly Sect, I wouldn't know any of this, much less have broken through to the half-step Primordial Realm.
"You mean, there are some reclusive sects in this world, like the Heavenly Sect?"
Su Mu pondered.
He knew that the Great Qian Dynasty was backed by immense power, but he didn't know that there was actually a Heavenly Sect behind the Great Qian Dynasty.
So what is the significance of the existence of this Heavenly Sect?
Ordinary people don't know this, and they don't interact with ordinary people.
"The Great Qian Dynasty is backed by the Ziwei Heavenly Sect. The Ziwei Heavenly Sect does not have many members, but the weakest of them are at least half-step Tai Chu Realm, and Tai Chu Realm cultivators are quite common."
Huang Chao explained, "The Heavenly Sect does not directly engage with the world; they acquire resources through their public power. I do not know why they do this."
But as far as I know, there is more than one Heavenly Sect in this world. The Ziwei Heavenly Sect behind the Great Qian Dynasty is one, the Breaking Law Heavenly Sect I encountered is another, and there is also the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect.”
Su Mu couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
From Qian Guanyu's words, he vaguely guessed that there might be powerful beings at the Primordial Realm in this world, and there might be more than one.
But when Huang Chao said that there were so many hidden forces in the world, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
If he guessed correctly, those experts at the Primordial Realm cannot enter the mortal world at will, which is why they hide in the shadows.
"Senior Huang, so you've been to the Breaking Law Heaven Sect?"
Su Mu asked thoughtfully.
"I've been there."
Huang Chao nodded.
"If I'm not mistaken, they should exist in some special place, a place that should be more suitable for cultivation than the Great Thousand World. Only there is it possible to break through to the half-step Primordial Realm, or even the Primordial Realm."
Su Mu said slowly.
"You guessed right."
Huang Chao nodded and said, "I mentioned your existence to the Breaking Law Heaven Sect, and they are willing to accept you into their ranks."
Although the Breaking Law Heaven Sect only has seven people, two of them are at the Primordial Beginning Realm and five are at the Half-Step Primordial Beginning Realm.
We can go to the Breaking Law Heaven Sect to cultivate together and no longer need to concern ourselves with the mundane affairs of the world.
At most, we'll just have the Great Xuan Dynasty and Hengshan Sect send over a batch of cultivation supplies periodically.
Su Mu looked at Huang Chao with a surprised expression.
"So, the Breaking Law Heaven Sect wants the Great Xuan Dynasty, Hengshan Sect, and even the Yanfu Sect to become their vassals?"
Su Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold tone.
"To put it bluntly, they are vassals. The Breaking Law Heaven Sect will not interfere with them. As for you and me, what would we do with these?"
A higher level of attainment should be the goal we pursue.
"As long as we can break through to the Primordial Realm, we can enjoy a longer lifespan and greater power..."
Huang Chao said with a hint of fanaticism.
A hint of speechlessness flashed deep in Su Mu's eyes.
Huang Chao has been brainwashed.
No matter how good the Broken Law Heaven Sect is, Su Mu would never allow himself to become their vassal.
Moreover, with only seven people, they dared to plot against his power. Has the Broken Law Heaven Sect been locked up in one place for too long and lost their minds?
Do you really think Su Mu is so easy to bully?
The Primordial Realm is nothing special.
"The Purple Star Heavenly Sect, the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, the Law-Breaking Heavenly Sect..."
A cold smile appeared on Su Mu's lips.
Although he didn't know why these Heavenly Sects, which had been hidden for countless years, began to emerge, Su Mu wanted to tell them that since they had already been hiding for so many years, they should continue to hide.
Anyone who dares to show their head, Su Mu wouldn't hesitate to personally cut off their head.
"Senior Lu."
Su Mu looked at Huang Chao and said slowly, "Considering that you were the former sect leader of Hengshan Sect, I will not make things difficult for you."
Go and tell the people of the Breaking Law Heaven Sect.
If they want my territory, then let them come and take it themselves, if they have the ability.
Tell them to think things through carefully; once you take action, Su will not show any mercy.
"Su Mu, you—"
Huang Chao frowned. "You've never been to Tianzong, so you don't know how wonderful their place is."
That is the most suitable environment for martial artists to live and cultivate – the Celestial Realm!
If you miss this opportunity, you will never be able to enter the Celestial Realm again.
The Great Xuan Dynasty, the Hengshan Sect, the Yanfu Sect—are these external things really that important to you?
"It seems you know everything."
Su Mu sneered, "We have different paths, so we cannot work together. You only need to tell my words to the Breaking Law Heaven Sect."
If you want to take action, then come on. No matter how many Heavenly Sects there are in this world, I, Su Mu, will accept them.
"If I can defeat Qian Guanyu, why should I fear this so-called Heavenly Sect?"
boom!
A tremendous aura suddenly erupted from Su Mu's body.
Even Huang Chao, who had already broken through to the half-step Primordial Realm, was startled and involuntarily took several steps back, his face turning deathly pale.
A strong sense of crisis welled up in Huang Chao's heart. He clearly felt that if he said anything more, Su Mu would probably attack him.
Su Mu truly possessed the strength to defeat him, or even kill him.
“Su Mu, I will convey this to the Breaking Law Heaven Sect, but I still hope you can think it over carefully. I am doing this for your own good.”
Huang Chao suppressed his unease and said.
"roll!"
Su Mu shouted, and a fierce wind arose, forcing Huang Chao to fly backward. (End of Chapter)
