Chapter 267: Chapter 240, Kui Gang

Within the great hall, Heavenly Emperor strode towards the exit, his figure flickering and vanishing in an instant.

The next moment, Heavenly Emperor appeared in an independent space of immaculate whiteness, with white jade for the ground and the surrounding void sealed off.

Heavenly Emperor walked up to a colossal furnace, on which the characters for Heaven and Earth were inscribed.

The furnace roared open, spewing forth scorching radiance from within, causing the fabric of the vast heavens and earth around it to twist and warp.

Heavenly Emperor took out a Jade Gourd, opened it, and gushing from within was a surge of murky crimson energy imbued with the Dark Power. The black and red miasma danced about in the space, at times coalescing into beastly heads and at other times into grisly skeletal faces, then lunging fiercely towards Heavenly Emperor.

A hazy purple-gold Holy Light radiated from Heavenly Emperor’s entire being. Wretched screams echoed from within the darkness as it quickly dispersed into the distance only to reassemble and confront Heavenly Emperor with renewed eagerness.

His expression unchanged, Heavenly Emperor regarded these malevolent thoughts as mere trifles. With a wave of his hand, the condensed darkness fell powerless into the furnace, and the lid of the furnace slammed shut with a bang. A powerful Mana flowed from Heavenly Emperor’s body into the furnace.

Sharp, agonized screams arose from within the Heaven and Earth Furnace, and consecutive pounding sounds echoed as the formidable darkness thrashed about inside.

Time unknown, the pounding subsided, and the darkness was rendered into nothing within the furnace, as the Heavenly Emperor stepped out, his figure disappearing in a flash.

The great hall fell into a deathly silence, and suddenly a vortex formed above the Heaven and Earth Furnace. Within the whirlpool lay darkness, and in its midst one could faintly discern a grand hall situated atop a mountain peak.

Silently and subtly, the lid of the Heaven and Earth Furnace lifted, and strands of black mist escaped, finally consolidating into a phantasmal and ethereal figure standing atop the furnace, its expression vacant and seemingly on the brink of dissolution at any moment.

From within the abyssal maelstrom, a ghostly voice echoed: "You are Kui Gang!"

The ephemeral figure abruptly solidified, blood-red eyes snapping open, filled with hatred, chaos, and malevolence, as it muttered to itself: "Kui Gang, I am Kui Gang!"

"Come~" A soft voice emanated from the darkness of the vortex.

Bewildered for a moment, Kui Gang transformed into a streak of black light, plunging directly into the vortex and disappearing from sight.

The vortex twisted and vanished, the lid of the Heaven and Earth Furnace slammed shut with a bang, and the great hall returned to its former deathly stillness, as if nothing had changed at all.

...

Three hundred years later, a region of the East Sea contorted. Dark clouds pressed down from above, with thunder clapping incessantly onto the ocean surface, churning the great sea into a pitch-black expanse, its waters turning fiercely dark and profound.

A young man in blue garments was traversing this storm, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his figure tall and erect, holding a Fangtian Halberd in hand, indifferent to the thunder, lightning, and the might of the great sea.

All at once, the young man soared into the air, and boom—a column of water burst skyward, from within which an enormous maw snapped at the youth.

A brilliant Taoist light descended from above, and the Flood Dragon within the water pillar was instantly torn apart, its blood dyeing the ocean red.

The youth descended from above, standing atop the sea surface, continuing to walk forward.

"Roar~"

"Growl~"

...

From beneath the sea surface, deep roars resounded as turbulent waters formed numerous vast whirlpools, from which evil Flood Dragons emerged, mouths agape, surging towards the youth.

The youth sneered, "Dare to show off, vile creatures!"

The Fangtian Halberd in the young man’s hand spun as he moved instantaneously, extremely fast, leaving trails of afterimages on the sea surface—thrusting, slashing, leaping, charging forward.

The figure of the young man suddenly paused, slowly stepping out of the encirclement of the evil Flood Dragons, behind him the creatures burst into pieces in rapid succession, blood splattering in every direction.

A streak of black light spiraled, flying towards him extremely fast, carving a trench in the sea surface.

The youth’s gaze sharpened, and with a fierce thrust of the Fangtian Halberd in his hand, clang—the black light collided with the Fangtian Halberd, scattering intense sparks.

The young man propelled forward with a step, as a streak of light flashed across the Fangtian Halberd—clang~, the dark glow was instantly spun away, revealing a black Immortal Sword.

The young man charged straight towards the island ahead. The Immortal Sword moved in an instant, acting like a flash of black lightning shuttling back and forth to intercept, with the continuous clangs of collision. The figure of the young man flickered repeatedly.

Clang~ The black sword was cleaved apart, and the young man directly rushed into the deepest island within the Chaotic Sea Domain.

Boom~ A loud bang came from the island, followed by an angry shout: "Yang Jiao, you’ve got some nerve, daring to commit such an offense and disregard our Jie Sect’s rules. Do you have a death wish?"

The young man’s steady voice transmitted: "On the behalf of Feathered Immortal Uncle, I’m here to invite Uncle Dan. Uncle, please accompany me to the Law Enforcement Divine Palace."

"Damn it!"

Rumbling noises of the great battle spread from the island, the entire Immortal Island shaking continuously from the battle’s influence, nearly collapsing.

A figure burst out of the island, thump~ plunging straight into the sea.

The young man also emerged from the island, his body flashing with light transforming into a swordfish as he dove into the sea, causing the ocean to tremble violently.

A moment later, the young man flew out from the water, holding a dejected middle-aged man in his hand, walking on the sea surface towards Jie Sect, with a look of shame and annoyance in the eyes of the middle-aged man.

Just as the young man stepped out of the chaotic sea domain, he saw a figure standing ahead, dressed in a black robe with a cape fluttering behind.

The young man quickly stepped forward, throwing the middle-aged man onto the sea surface, and urgently saluted with cupped fists, saying, "Greetings, Uncle!"

Feathered Immortal laughed heartily, saying, "Yang Jiao, well done!" A Golden Hoop appeared in his hand, and with a toss, it fell onto the head of the middle-aged man on the sea surface.

Immediately, the middle-aged man’s face showed utter despair, collapsing to sit on the sea surface.

The Feathered Immortal said, "Yang Jiao, your Master is looking for you. You go back first; I’ll take care of him."

"Yes!" Yang Jiao saluted and then, putting away the Fangtian Halberd, headed towards the direction of Three Lights Immortal Island.

...

On Three Lights Immortal Island, Bai Jin, Gu Liang, Shi Ji, Jingwei, and Long Ji were having a picnic at the edge of the island, with fishing rods planted beside them, long fishing lines cast into the vast sea, seabirds soaring in the distance, presenting a naturally harmonious scene.

Shi Ji and Bai Jin were cooking, while Gu Liang, Long Ji, and Jingwei scrambled for food, squabbling and bustling about, creating a lively atmosphere.

A Bai He flew and alighted on the island, from amidst the radiant light and drifting feathers, Yang Jiao emerged, bowing with a salute, "Greetings, Master, Uncle, and Senior Sister."

Bai Jin gave a thumbs up and laughed heartily, "That entrance was stylish~"

Yang Jiao also revealed a smile, saying, "I learned it from Uncle Kong Xuan."

"Kong Xuan makes an entrance like this as well?" Yang Jiao nodded repeatedly.

Gu Liang hurriedly waved and called out, "Yang Jiao, come and eat! There won’t be any left if you’re late."

"Alright~" Yang Jiao immediately also joined the battle for food.

After the picnic, the ladies dispersed one after another, leaving only Bai Jin and Yang Jiao sitting at the island’s edge.

"Yang Jiao, you’ve become a Taiyi Golden Immortal now, haven’t you?"

Yang Jiao nodded and responded, "Yes! Thanks to Master’s teachings."

Bai Jin smiled and said, "Now, go into seclusion and strive to break through to the Daluo Realm as soon as possible."

Yang Jiao said in shock, "Master, the Daluo Realm is still very far away for me."

Bai Jin said seriously, "No, you’re underestimating your own potential. Trust me, you are actually very close to the Daluo Realm. Go into seclusion and don’t come out until you’ve made the breakthrough."
