The Eternal Supreme

Chapter 222: The Supreme Palace’s Spirit Vein

“100,000 places! Haha! That’s a wishful thought. These top powers must control the resources in their own hands, and they will never allow other sects to rise or even replace them. As long as they control the resources, they control the rise of other sects.”

“That is why the South has always been the weakest for so many years. I really don’t understand what the group of old men in the Holy Realm is thinking about and why they imposed this iron rule. These rotten sects and powers should have been eliminated long ago!”

Ding Ling’er trembled and said shockingly, “You must not talk like that, Young Master Yun! If what you said were to spread, you will get yourself into trouble.”

Yunxiao pondered a moment and asked, “Can any Martial Emperor in the South fight for the spots?”

That gave Ding Ling’er a pause, and then she said with a smile, “I know what Young Master Yun means. Rumor has it that a two-stars Martial Emperor was seen in Yanwu recently… But, I fear this cannot be done. He must be from Firecrow Empire. If any random expert can fight for the places, it would be chaos.”

Yunxiao nodded, and he immediately had another thought. With a smile, he said, “When does the tournament start? Miss Ling’er should be able to fight a place for yourself, right?”

Ding Ling’er was taken aback. Narrowing her eyes, she said, “Young Master Yun does have a pair of keen eyes. Yes, with my strength, I’ll have no problem in getting a place for myself. But, I don’t want to expose my strength. But you, Young Master Yun, can fight a place for yourself, and I’m sure you will succeed.”

Yunxiao smiled and said nothing, but he began to plan in his head.

The opening of Mount Meru was too important. All five wonderlands were every warrior’s dream. Unfortunately, Mount Meru’s own restriction limited the age, and no matter how one trained the bones and muscles, one could never deceive the power of restriction. It was impossible to sneak in. Since Yunxiao was reborn, he must not miss such a great fated chance this time.

Moreover, this was also an excellent opportunity to enhance the overall strength of Yanwu!

They talked a little longer, and Yunxiao took his leave. There was a complicated look in Ding Ling’er’s eyes as she watched his figure dwindle, and she remained in silence for a long time. At last, she breathed a sigh.

Along his returning journey, Yunxiao was extremely excited. It was a godsend!

While others had limited quota, he did not. After all, he had a transcendent-grade mystic artifact, the Divine Realm Tablet! He could bring unlimited people into Mount Meru with it!

If this secret were to be learned by others, he probably would be killed in an instant.

As long as he used the Divine Realm Tablet, all the warriors below the age of fifty years old in the three teams of Yanwu could enter Mount Meru together. But, he dared not try with warriors older than fifty years old. After all, there had been a bloody lesson in the past.

Many years ago, a peerless expert in the Holy Realm gathered all the top alchemists on the continent at that time and refined a peak ninth-tier spatial mystic artifact. According to the records, although it was not as incredible as the Divine Realm Tablet, it had formed an independent space in itself, which could produce Spirit Qi to nourish living things. It was also the strongest spatial mystic artifact on th erecord.

Not long after it was refined, Mount Meru descended. The expert had an idea, and he hid all the people of his sect in the spatial mystic artifact, with the intention to sneak them into Mount Meru. As a result, at the moment he entered, the mystic artifact was directly crushed by Mount Meru’s power of space. All the warriors older than fifty years old inside were instantly wiped out, while the rest, who were younger, were thrown into Mount Meru, unhurt.

At that time, the peerless expert was hiding in it as well. As the mystic artifact and he were spiritually connected, he suffered a serious injury the moment it was destroyed, but he managed to rip the void with his mighty strength and escape. However, the power of restriction seemed to have a spirit, as it traveled through the void, followed him to the Divine City of the Holy Realm, and killed him right in the face of all the top experts at that time.

Since then, no one had dared to attempt to send warriors over fifty years of age into Mount Meru.

Yunxiao went over the story carefully in his mind. When the peerless expert entered Mount Meru, although his spatial mystic artifact was destroyed, the warriors younger than fifty years old inside were all safely thrown into Mount Meru. That was the most important point.

He did not know whether the mystic artifact was destroyed because Mount Meru did not allow such spatial artifacts or because people over fifty years old were hiding in it, which triggered the restriction. If it were because of the latter, then he could bring the Divine Realm Tablet into it without worries. But, if it were the former, the tablet might not be able to resist Mount Meru’s power of restriction, regardless of how magical it was.

He thought for a long time and finally made up his mind.

If he cared only about his own cultivation base, he must protect the Divine Realm Tablet. But, if he wished to enhance the overall strength of Yanwu, he would have to risk it. Even if the tablet were destroyed, as long as he could bring thousands of people inside, the price would be worthwhile.

When he returned to Yanwu, he saw that the construction of the City Lord mansion and the expansion of the city had already begun.

He landed in front of the pill pagoda. After pondering for a moment, he threw out a few incantation seals. The Divine Realm Tablet immediately turned into a beam of light and went into his forehead, hovering above his dantian.

“Without the nine dragons energy-absorbing array, the Spirit Qi inside the tablet should not be enough to support their cultivation for too long.”

He spread out his divine sense and quickly found where Duan Yue was, which was an inn. His body flickered, and he was inside the building in the next instant.

Duan Yue was not alone, but accompanied by the six alchemists, who had nowhere to go. When they saw Yunxiao, they became nervous.

Yunxiao glanced at Duan Yue, who looked somewhat weak, as he smiled and said, “Congratulations on advancing to three-stars Martial Emperor realm.”

Duan Yue appeared to be very tired, but when he heard Yunxiao, he jumped to his feet and said in shock, “I’m now trapped at the level of a seven-stars Martial Grandmaster, so how did you know I’ve made a breakthrough?”

Yunxiao laughed. “I guessed it. With your previous strength, it was almost impossible for you to suppress the Bluelotus Earth Fire in such a short time, unless you’ve made a breakthrough. And, although you looked tired now, there was a hint of joy on your face, so I knew you’d succeeded in subduing the fire. That means you must have advanced to the three-stars.”

Duan Yue’s face was blank, and he finally stopped struggling in his mind. In the face of this freak, his wits, which he had always been proud of, became his biggest weakness.

Yunxiao turned to the six alchemists and said, “Relax your whole body and do not resist my divine sense.”

The six alchemists exchanged a look, and then they felt a divine sense blanket them. Yunxiao’s pupils constricted slightly as he performed an incantation gesture with one hand. Suddenly, the six alchemists transformed into a beam of light and went into his forehead, entering the Divine Realm Tablet.

They were taken aback when they found they had come to another world. Then, they saw Yunxiao smiling at them from not far away. “Welcome to the Divine Realm Tablet. From today on, the six of you will be my alchemists.”

The Yunxiao inside the tablet was his soul-form while his true-form was inside the inn with his eyes slightly closed. After advancing to a fourth-tier alchemist, his connection with the tablet had become closer. Perhaps it was time for him to try refining it again.

“Where’re the men? Where are the six of them?”

Duan Yue was startled. He saw with his own eyes that the six of them flew right into Yunxiao’s forehead, and that completely went against his knowledge. Terrified, he took a few steps backward and said, “You…you ate all six of them?”

“…” Yunxiao was speechless. “Can you be more stupid than this? Come with me!”

He threw out a chariot as he dragged Duan Yue and flew into the distance.

Several hours later, they traveled thousands of miles and came to a mountain range rich with Spirit Qi. There were rows of buildings inside a valley, where the Supreme Palace was located.

Yunxiao spread out his divine sense and brought everything within miles around under his surveillance. “Not bad! We’ll borrow this place for a while!”

“Who goes there? How dare you come to the Hundred Swords Sect to make trouble!” A voice rang out from down below, and then a sword beam rushed up, slashing toward the Bluewolf chariot.

Yunxiao frowned and threw out a few incantation seals. The chariot burst into blue light and swooped down from the sky, flying straight toward the man who had released the sword beam.

The man, clad in a yellow shirt, was lifting a great sword when he saw the chariot flying toward him. He was scared out of his wits instantly, and he quickly fled while screaming in panic, “An enemy is attacking us!”

Although a Bluewolf chariot was only a third-tier vehicle, it was extremely valuable. No one would be willing to use it as a weapon, but Yunxiao did not care. He drove the chariot right into the man.

Finally, after skidding on the ground for tens of meters, knocking the man into coughing blood, and pinning him under the chariot, Yunxiao and Duan Yue walked down together.

Puke!

The weight of the chariot clogged the man’s energy and made him spew out another mouthful of blood. “How dare you trespass the Hundred Swords Sect and even hit me with a chariot! Do you know this will get you killed?”

“Young Sect Leader!”

A crowd of people rushed in from all sides in shock, looking at the man under the chariot. “Are you alright, Young Sect Leader?”

“Do I look alright to you? Why don’t you come here and give it a try?!” The man grabbed a stone on the ground and threw it at the crowd. “Take these two men down immediately! I’m going to crush them alive!”

Duan Yue laughed and said, “You’re not a very good driver. How did you get on his legs? You should have put his nasty mouth under the chariot.”

Yunxiao laughed as well. “I had an impulse to kill him with the chariot when I saw him attack us without asking, but I didn’t expect to run into an acquaintance.”

“Oh? You know him?” Duan Yue asked curiously.

When the young sect leader heard that, he looked up and did find Yunxiao to be a bit familiar. “Ah!” he cried out suddenly.

The young sect leader was actually the man whom Yunxiao had met on his journey to the Supreme Palace’s celebration banquet, Xiao Jian of the Hundred Swords Sect!

As soon as he recognized Yunxiao, he flew into a rage and roared, “I know you! You are a disciple of the Dhyana Sect! Fu*k! How dare someone from a puny sect hurt me! What are you all waiting for? Take both of them down now!”
