598: Chapter 121 Grace 598: Chapter 121 Grace “Rumble.”
Red clouds tinged the sky, and a faint sense of scorching heat diffused through the void.
A tall figure clad in a wide red robe, wearing a red mask, slowly stepped out from the threshold.
Fire Master!
His physical body traversed the void!
Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes in surprise…
Those capable of “physical body traversing the void” were invariably at Yin God Great Perfection, and eight or nine times out of ten could step into the Yang God Realm.
Across Great Chu and Da Li, there were probably no more than five cultivators who could achieve this; Chen Chong being able to do so didn’t surprise Xuanyi, but that the Fire Master could was truly beyond his expectations.
No wonder Chen Jingxuan felt confident to let “Qian San” return to Chu Country.
It turns out that within Li Kingdom’s Fangyuan Square, there sat such a Yin God powerhouse at Perfection!
“This favor…
Miao Zhen will remember it in his heart and will surely repay it in the future.”
Miao Zhen sighed deeply, his expression complex.
Westward passage, eastern pilgrimage.
He truly had not anticipated that by leading the Fan Yin Temple’s delegation, he would owe so much karma to and fro.
The promise owed to Xie Xuanyi had yet to be repaid.
Now, he owed another favor to Chen Jingxuan.
“There’s no need to take it too much to heart.”
The Fire Master shook his head and said: “With Brother Miao Zhen’s cultivation realm, even if I hadn’t intervened, it is unlikely that you would have faced mortal peril…
The elder from the One Strike Sect sent by Luo Lie does possess the Fifteenth Realm of Yin God cultivation, but to kill you, he still falls short.”
Xie Xuanyi silently sensed the aura around Miao Zhen.
Worthy of being a reincarnated Living Buddha.
After breaking through the Yin God Realm, Miao Zhen directly formed his “dharma”.
If Xuanyi wasn’t mistaken, at this moment, Miao Zhen should be able to exert the killing power of at least the Eighth or Ninth Realm of Yin God…
While the elder of the One Strike Sect, relying on his higher realm, indeed could press him into a desperate situation, killing him would not be so easy.
“Since Nalan Xuance chose to make a move, he naturally has his methods.”
Miao Zhen laughed self-deprecatingly and said: “If I’m not wrong, the reason that elder from the One Strike Sect dared to appear must be carrying treasures, most likely the ‘Annihilation Tao Realm’ condensed by Luo Lie.
If you hadn’t appeared in time, this ‘Annihilation Tao Realm’ might have hit my Divine Embryo.”
Yin God Great Perfection, this title indeed possessed enough deterrent power.
Even for a “Reincarnated Yang God” like Miao Zhen, such a figure commands respect.
Because it is a tremendously difficult step to reach.
And moreover…
this step is not essential for transcendence from Yin God to Yang God.
Take “physical body traversing the void” as an example.
Not all Yang Gods, before their promotion, can achieve “physical body traversing the void.”
Fire Master, Chen Chong at this level of “Yin God Great Perfection”, differs from King Jiu of Demon Country…
King Jiu can perform “physical body traversing the void” mainly due to the advantage of his lineage; without the lineage boost of Five-colored City, King Jiu in fact falls short of the “Yin God Great Perfection” defined by Human Race cultivators by a slight margin.
Xie Xuanyi of the past, Chen Chong, Fire Master, Tang Fengshu of today…
Those who can be termed “Yin God Great Perfection”, wherever they go, receive the highest respect.
Because under the order co-established by the Three Religions Holy Land and the Ten Heroes of the World, Yang Gods are not to act lightly; thus, the so-called “Yin God Great Perfection” are the invincible ones below the realm of Yang Gods!
“Did Chen Jingxuan arrange for you to make a move…
actually, to deal with Chen Chong?”
Xie Xuanyi’s gaze intensified, focusing on the Fire Master.
“Yes.”
The Fire Master arched an eyebrow, he scrutinized the young man in a black robe before him, pondering for a moment and then slowly said: “Li Kingdom’s ‘Iron Curtain’ blocks the divinations of the ‘Roundness Instrument’, even Chen Jingxuan cannot see through Nalan Xuance’s specific layout; he could only arrange for me to adapt to the circumstances…
I chose to first break Miao Zhen’s death trap, then observe from a distance the changes in Yuan Province.”
Yang Gods do not emerge.
Only Yin God Perfection can contend with Yin God Perfection!
Even for someone as resourceful as Chen Jingxuan, finding someone within Li Kingdom who could stop Chen Chong is exceedingly difficult.
Not to mention finding such a person within Li Kingdom; even if the scope were enlarged, it would still be difficult.
The only viable person.
Is the Fire Master!
“I really do not wish to go to war with Chen Chong.”
Fire Master said, “Although both are ‘Perfect,’ no one can do anything about the other.
However, if a war breaks out now, the years of planning and backup plans of the Book Tower might go to waste, and everything put forth will vanish like smoke in air…”
He paused for a moment.
With an apologetic tone, Fire Master conveyed through Divine Thought, “I’m sorry, perhaps for Chen Jingxuan, your life and death are extremely important.
But to me, it’s not the same…
Had it not been the last moment, I would not have rashly shown myself.”
No matter the outcome of this fight.
Fire Master couldn’t stay in Fangyuan Square of Li Kingdom anymore.
“No need to explain or feel guilty.”
Xie Xuanyi shook his head gently and said in a warm voice, “The choice you made was the right one.”
He was well aware.
Fire Master did not know his real identity.
Acknowledging this.
In Fire Master’s eyes, the most important person in this calamity was “Chu Guo.”
No matter what, Chu Guo’s safety had to be ensured.
The so-called “last moment” must be when Chu Guo’s safety is threatened…
Perhaps only at that moment would Fire Master choose to tear through the void and traverse corporeally to arrive at the battlefield.
This arrangement was actually very reasonable.
Now that everything had come to an end, and all had gone smoothly.
Fire Master did not make a public appearance but managed to unravel the ambush set by Nalan Xuance and the One Strike Sect from behind the scenes.
Miao Zhen survived the calamity.
Fire Master had not revealed his identity and still retained his strength.
With Nalan Xuance’s insight, he would certainly guess the truth behind the breakdown of the One Strike Sect’s ambush, but so what?
As long as the situation in Chu Country remained peaceful and both sides had not yet torn each other’s faces, Nalan Xuance would not dare to openly move against the “Fire Master”…
After all, by Chu Country’s Imperial City, Li Kingdom had also arranged a “Wood Master,” and both sides switched places and acted accordingly, in the underground struggle between the Book Tower and Xuanwei Island, the leaders of both sides had long set up unspoken rules.
“Where is Brother Jun Shan?”
Miao Zhen looked around, noticing one less person and one more, he couldn’t help but inquire.
Jun Shan was no longer here.
Adding to this place was a dazed young man with an enormous seal of fortune on his forehead.
“Senior Jun Shan…”
Mi Yun’s expression was somber, his voice hoarse as he said, “At Qixia Mountain’s ambush, Senior Jun Shan was intercepted by Chen Chong.”
He extended his palm.
As a fellow disciple and nephew, they were inherently connected by the Heart Lake.
At this moment, the Karma Principle emitted a faint golden color.
This chain of relentless pursuit, constant flight, and life-and-death companionship, Mi Yun, without any reservations, conveyed everything through the Karma Principle.
“So…
I also owe Jun Shan a favor…”
After seeing this Divine Thought, Miao Zhen’s expression grew complicated.
In his past life.
He and Jun Shan were adversaries, often fighting, competing, and even truly coming to blows.
This time with the mission heading east, Miao Zhen truly hadn’t expected Jun Shan would earnestly exert effort to serve the Fan Yin Temple.
Both had lived through a lifetime.
Miao Zhen had thought that the unresolved competition from their previous life would continue in this life…
However, perhaps due to Xie Xuanyi’s involvement, the conflicts and grievances of their past lives gradually dissipated.
Now.
Thinking of Jun Shan, Miao Zhen’s heart was filled with even more remorse.
“Brother Miao Zhen, there’s no need to worry about True Master Jun Shan.”
It was at this moment Fire Master spoke nonchalantly, “Chu Country has sent news not long ago, the Taoist temple has already dispatched an emissary to Yuan Province for negotiations.
Although Xiao Yaozi remains hidden, the current Great True Master Chong Kan who holds great power in the Taoist temple is at the prime of his life; given that Nalan Xuance and Chen Chong have already offended Fan Yin Temple and the Da Sui Sword Palace, there is no reason for them to trouble Jun Shan and antagonize the Taoist temple further.”
