Chapter 421 The Cultivation World.
He Guangxin had returned to this world he was familiar with, the one where he had lived for twenty years. This time, however, he was meant to stay for a hundred years.
In the time he had been away, approximately ten years had passed in this world.
In ten years, most people had largely forgotten him.
The three major powers on Dongmo Continent, after the previous incident, saw their sect leader, though not dead, have his meridians almost destroyed by the lightning tribulation. He was currently in seclusion, recuperating. The Five Elements Immortal Sect had directly fallen to the lowest tier of sects.
The deaths of the Holy Sons of the three major powers had caused a talent gap, and they harbored more hatred for He Guangxin than anyone else.
However, He Guangxin had vanished into thin air. After their initial fury, they could only silently swallow the bitter consequences.
Holy Sons could be nurtured again. These sects would not have had only one Holy Son; they merely needed one to be publicly presented.
But if there was anyone who could not let go of He Guangxin, it would undoubtedly be Mo Wuji.
This designated successor of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, with immense ambition, had already considered He Guangxin his right-hand man. The result was that this brat had vanished into thin air.
His trust had been misplaced!
He Guangxin felt a little guilty about it as well. Although he had intended to use Mo Wuji, the truth was that he had freeloaded off Mo Wuji for sixteen years. He felt ashamed.
This time, he would fulfill his promise. He hoped Mo Wuji wouldn't kill him upon meeting.
"Zi Fan, let's part ways for now. You can join a top-tier sect in Zhongzhou without any problem, and even contend for the position of Dao Child. I need to go with an old friend to do some shady business, and it's not suitable for you to join."
Liang Zifan had no desire to join the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion; it sounded like a fortune-telling sect.
He nodded, "Good brother, let's bid farewell for now. You will naturally hear my name in the cultivation world later. As for those three sects, once my strength reaches Nascent Soul, I'll destroy them for you in minutes!"
"Haha, I'll definitely reach it before you!"
"Goodbye!"
They were the only pair who parted ways after entering the cultivation world.
In Dongmo Continent, He Guangxin believed he still had some reputation. He wore a straw hat and arrived at the familiar Wuji Inn.
The innkeeper was stunned to see He Guangxin.
"You… you still dare to come back?"
He Guangxin forced a smile and said sheepishly, "The situation last time was truly an accident. I encountered irresistible forces, so I was forced to leave for a period. Could you find a way to notify Mo Wuji and tell him I'm back to fulfill my promise?"
The innkeeper naturally knew He Guangxin's importance to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji used to visit Dongmo Continent frequently just to inquire about He Guangxin's status.
"Wait a moment. I think it's better if you explain it to the Young Master yourself…"
The innkeeper took out a Bagua array disk, manipulated some patterns on it, and Mo Wuji's ridiculously handsome face appeared on the disk.
"What are you looking for me for… Holy shit! He Guangxin! You unprincipled scoundrel, you dare to show yourself again?"
Mo Wuji's voice was filled with gritted teeth, and He Guangxin could clearly feel the killing intent within it.
He awkwardly touched his nose. "I was teleported away at the time; it was truly an irresistible force. Am I not here to fulfill my promise?"
"Irresistible forces? You freeloaded off me for sixteen years, and you give me irresistible forces?" Mo Wuji's voice became sharp.
"Damn it! Why are you barking like a dog? If I truly wanted to freeload, I wouldn't have shown up! Do you want my help or not? If not, I'm leaving."
"Scoundrel! You wait for me. Be there in two days!"
"…"
During these two days, He Guangxin quietly went to the back mountain of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.
This was the place where his master had been buried. After he caused trouble last time, Duan Shou had been severely injured, and it was unknown if he was alive or dead in his current seclusion.
The entire Five Elements Immortal Sect exuded a sense of decline. Their faith was gone, and they couldn't be bothered to manage the back mountain, which was used to bury their ancestors. Anyone could come.
Many graves had been dug up, likely by fearless rogue cultivators looking for burial artifacts.
However, Yi Chenzi's tombstone remained intact; no one had touched it.
They knew he was He Guangxin's master, and He Guangxin was a name that struck fear into the hearts of everyone in Dongmo Continent.
This was the ruthless individual who had disrupted the Yan Emperor's birthday banquet and killed three Holy Sons in front of the three sect leaders.
He had also used the lightning tribulation to electrocute Duan Shou to the brink of death.
Who would dare to desecrate his master's grave?
He Guangxin poured some of his master's wine from his gourd onto the ground before the tomb.
"Dear Master, a long time has passed, and I can almost forget your appearance. Thank you for saving me and my over two hundred brothers. We will continue to fight with the glory of the Five Elements Immortal Sect. As for those who killed you, your disciple's strength is currently insufficient, but killing a few Holy Sons is the best result I could achieve with my current cultivation…"
"I have a hundred years; that's enough. Enough for me to eradicate these three forces!"
At that time, the resources of these three sects would belong to Blue Star.
He Guangxin said silently in his heart.
…
"Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace, what an awesome name!"
Liang Zifan learned about the most powerful sect in this world.
It was a top-tier sect, with Immortal Emperors. However, Immortal Emperor level figures generally explored outside the void. They would only return if their families were invaded by the Heaven Slaying Tribe.
If the sect faced a crisis, activating a token was sufficient.
Such grand sects recruited disciples very simply.
In Jiuxiao City, a city within the jurisdiction of the Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace.
Liang Zifan only participated in a ring battle. He activated his Thunder Control Body, and after only fighting his second match, he was taken away by people from the Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace.
This proved that as long as you had talent, these major powers had plenty of ways to know of your existence.
"Holy shit! I can't change my hairstyle, Master!"
"Ungrateful disciple! You're neither here nor there, what kind of conduct is this?"
"Damn it, Master! You're not cutting my hair, you're cutting my Dao heart, wuwuwu…"
The first thing upon entering the Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace was to shave one's head.
In the eyes of Liang Zifan's master, this multi-colored hair was simply too unsightly. If the hair color changed due to some special physique, it would be understandable, but this was dyed!
The last noble of the emo era had thus perished…
Chu Yang was right. He and He Guangxin, one followed the path of a normal prodigy, and the other, the path of a nobody's rise.
Although He Guangxin had gained some fame in Dongmo Continent, Dongmo Continent was one of the weakest regions on the entire continent and did not catch the eye of those major sects.
