Chapter 383: Chapter 362 Dong Shaxing_1

Power rankings, Contribution Value.

A list created by the strongest forces of the First Realm stoked everyone’s blood, making them eager to join the hunt for Monsters and Ferocious Beasts.

Individual Cultivators also emerged from their hidden state and flocked to report to the continents of Universe Heaven and Black Nether.

The Sword Tower disciples who did not descend to the Lower Realm with Hu regretted it at this moment.

"Everyone, calm down. You all seem to be courting death!" Zhuang Yuyan scolded with a cold huff, glowering at Qi Qingsong and said, "You’ve been to the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land, so you must be aware of the Alien Tribes’ combat strength, right?"

"The last one who came out of the Flame Fragment Land, if there had not been an oversight, who among us could have survived?"

With these words spoken, Qi Qingsong immediately lost his spirit.

After a moment of silence, he finally revealed the reason, "Pang Jian, the Filth Alien Power has not yet surged into the Fragmented Lands of the Third Realm. But, some are fearless enough to venture deep beneath the Fragmented Lands into the Sea of Clouds, to slay Monsters and Ferocious Beasts."

"Many Alien Tribes’ warships are moored below the Sea of Clouds, becoming targets for those people."

"And even more..."

He drew a breath of cold air, continuing, "Li Yuqing and our Sister Hu have directly infiltrated the Fourth Realm. They obtained their Contribution Values by hunting Alien Tribes and Ferocious Beasts within the Fourth Realm."

"Infiltrated the Fourth Realm?"

Pang Jian frowned deeply.

With a slight stir of his Divine Sense, he immediately established a perception with the Dark Giant Python.

Hei and Heaven Clan’s Yu Xin, aboard an exotic shuttle-shaped vessel with a distinct style from another domain, were traveling through the Fourth Realm filled with Filth Alien Power, crossing over the Fragmented Lands.

"Northern Qi..."

Yu Xin murmured softly.

With his heart jolted, Pang Jian communicated with Hei and discovered... in the bloodline memory of the Dark Giant Python, there was a mysterious part about the Northern Qi Fragmented Lands, the Solitude Mountain Range.

Veiled within the Mysterious Fog, the existence of Northern Qi in the extreme northern reaches of the Fourth Realm, had stirred Yu Xin’s curiosity.

This time, Yu Xin was set to explore the cloaked Solitude Mountain Range alongside Hei.

At the bow of the ship, the Heaven Clan girl’s pairs of pure white wings, emanating a faint mystic radiance, had now reached a number of... eight pairs!

"Her Bloodline has broken through, from level seven to level eight. Level eight is equivalent to the Human Race’s Extinction Realm," Pang Jian quietly marveled.

"Hei, that person... It has been a long time since he communicated with me, is he still well?"

Yu Xin suddenly looked back, her eyes full of tender memories, expressing softly, "He helped us so very much, I don’t even know how to thank him."

"Ah."

She lightly bit her lower lip, saying, "We’re about to head toward the Third Realm now, to seek a path of survival for our people in the world he resides in. We have become stronger than ever and even received aid from the God Spirits."

"I hope that he... is safe and sound."

Rebel Kid remained silent.

If Pang Jian didn’t initiate communication, it would feign death, pretending it didn’t know that its gaze was indeed Pang Jian’s gaze.

...

"Pang Jian!"

Qi Qingsong suddenly raised his voice.

"Oh, what is it?"

"What are you daydreaming about?" scolded Qi Qingsong, rolling his eyes. "I was asking if you’re interested in joining us soon to enter the Third Realm, to fish for fame and fortune?"

"I need to cultivate. Let’s talk about this later," replied Pang Jian.

...

Two days later.

Holed up in his dwelling, Pang Jian refined his golden Spiritual Soul using the methods from the "Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Spell" written for the Soul Wandering Realm.

Occasionally, he also used the Sword Command in his hand to keep abreast of the so-called Power rankings.

That day.

"That kid Dong Tianze..."

He pondered for a moment and took out the long-unused Ghost Altar, setting it up with some unfamiliar motions.

"Pang Jian, I need some pills to temper the body, which I can’t find at the Yin Spirit Temple,"

"I also participated in the Broken Armor Army’s organized hunt for Ferocious Beasts, and there are signs that my realm is about to break through. By the way, the general of the Broken Armor Army is Li Yuanchen’s father."

"Pang Jian, I feel I’m about to reach the late stage of the Spirit Condensation Realm!"

"..."

Several slips of paper flew out

Dong Tianze, who had returned to the Xuan You Continent, actually sent many slips of paper in a short time, with many being trivial and senseless words.

Pang Jian looked bemused.

He felt Dong Tianze had no friends and not a soul to communicate with, which must be why there were so many nagging slips of paper sent over.

After considering for a moment, he also wrote a slip of paper and threw it towards the Ghost Altar as a response.

——I have ascended to the Soul Wandering Realm.

That night.

Dong Tianze’s figure appeared in the center of the Ghost Altar, his face sullen as he said, "When did you ascend to Soul Wandering?"

"My Spiritual Soul had left my icebound body at that time, isn’t that Soul Wandering?" Pang Jian said indifferently.

"At that time, at that time you were..." Dong Tianze’s mood clearly deteriorated, and he said, "We just assumed your Spiritual Soul was special, not realizing you were already in the Soul Wandering Realm at that period."

"I skipped Spirit Condensation Realm," added Pang Jian.

Dong Tianze took a deep breath, his mood as if shrouded in gloom, remaining silent for a long while.

"Where are you? The cave beside you, why does it look somewhat familiar to me?"

Pang Jian narrowed his eyes attentively, realizing that the cave Dong Tianze was in, with its arrangement of stone tables and chairs, seemed like a place he had been before.

"Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands, Cave Dwelling number fifty-six!"

Dong Tianze coldly responded, suddenly frowning, he said, "There are two individual cultivators named Gao Yuan and Han Ting, do you recognize them?"

"I recognize them." Pang Jian was surprised and asked, "Are they also in the Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands?"

"Yes."

"If it’s convenient, please take care of them for me."

"Oh."

Dong Tianze’s figure vanished.

...

Elsewhere.

He carried Ghost Howling, flying out from Yuan Mang’s Cave Dwelling number fifty-six, heading straight for the peak of the third mountain.

"Dong Tianze!"

"What madness has possessed this harbinger of doom?"

The numerous individual cultivators on the summit cried out in alarm.

On the ranking of fame for those in the Spirit Condensation Realm, Dong Tianze’s name was near the top; everyone knew of his fierceness and dared not provoke him.

Naturally, individual cultivators even less so dared.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

Upon reaching the peak of the third mountain, he saw spiritual evil howling through the air, completely encircling a white-haired individual cultivator.

In the furious screams of the cultivator, Dong Tianze left two deep, bone-revealing wounds on his chest with Ghost Howling, saying coldly, "Gao Yuan, Han Ting, where are they?"

The Spirit Condensation Realm individual cultivator Xing Dongping shrieked in terror, "They are just individual cultivators, what business do you have with them?"

"I’m asking you where they are?" Dong Tianze said sharply.

Ghost Howling was already pressed against Xing Dongping’s throat, ready to strike with deadly force if he gave an unsatisfactory answer.

As a cultivator of equal Spirit Condensation Realm strength, Xing Dongping had no room to resist Dong Tianze and said hastily, "They’re with the Broken Armor Army, in the hands of Colonel Han Feng!"

"Swoosh!"

Dong Tianze flew swiftly to the first peak of Yuan Mang.

At the mountain summit, in front of the trading ground once presided over by Cao, Dong Tianze bellowed, "Who is Han Feng?!"

A middle-aged military officer dressed in silver armor walked out with furrowed brows, asking, "What is it?"

"Han Feng allowed the individual cultivator Xing Dongping to capture my people," Dong Tianze said fearlessly, standing before a group of Broken Armor Army soldiers, "Your subordinate commander arbitrarily seizes people to satisfy his personal desires, what crime should he be charged with?"

From every major summit, many eyes converged on this spot, watching the developments here.

The Soul Wandering Realm cultivator Yao Tianchao, the leader of the Broken Armor Army in the Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands, appeared solemn and demanded, "Give me the time it takes an incense stick to burn, and I will clarify this matter and give you an explanation!"

"Good!"

Indeed, it took only the time of an incense stick to burn.

Colonel Han Feng of the Broken Armor Army was dragged out by Yao Tianchao from the trading ground and was thrown at the feet of Dong Tianze, his chest soaked in blood, "Three of his rib bones are shattered, I’ve knocked him down a minor realm, and his rank as colonel has been revoked!"

"And there’s more!"

Yao Tianchao barked an order, and soldiers from a certain cave dwelling on the first peak brought Gao Yuan and Han Ting up.

Gao Yuan’s face, mouth, and chest were stained with blood while Han Ting remained unharmed, merely glaring coldly at Han Feng.

Completely soaked in blood, Han Feng looked as if his spirit had left him, his face blank and expressionless.

"Those two are fine, Han Feng didn’t get the chance to mess around," Yao Tianchao explained, "Han Feng was planning to plant all the Ground Splitting Thunder and deal with the task I assigned him before going to... "

He didn’t finish his sentence but looked towards the cultivators at various summits, saying, "No matter what, this is my dereliction of duty, and I will revoke the Contribution Value that belongs to me."

Dong Tianze nodded and looked at Gao Yuan and Han Ting coldly, "Pang Jian asked me to take care of you two."

The gloom in Han Ting’s eyes suddenly burst into a brilliant light, and the sorrowful pressures on her heart were blown away considerably.

Gao Yuan’s demeanor also brightened as he exclaimed, "I knew it!"

"Pang Jian?"

"Sword Tower, Pu Zhaotian’s newly accepted disciple, Pang Jian?"

"They actually know Pang Jian?"

Commanders of the Broken Armor Army, along with numerous scions from different sects, quietly changed their expression on various mountains.

...

Litian Peak.

"Buzz buzz!"

He suddenly received an urgent sound from the Sword Command.

Inside, the light representing Chen Weihuang spoke with an indifferent voice, "Today is the third day. I’ve investigated clearly; the ones targeting you this time are not Su Yue and Zhou Wenhao."

"They were just suppressed by me not long ago; they don’t have the time or resource to be closely scheming this matter."

"It’s the Origin Demon Sword."

Chen Weihuang said.

Pang Jian, who had stopped cultivating, his face changed as he spoke through the Sword Command, "The sword is already under my strict control. Since the last incident, Source Demon has been unable to communicate with the outside world; this I can guarantee!"

How could Source Demon inside a box instruct others to do evil?

He felt certain Chen Weihuang must be mistaken.

"Then it must have been before you took control of the Origin Demon Sword that it had instructed others to go through with it," Chen Weihuang had utmost confidence in his investigation results, "The Demon Sword Sect, although expunged from the Demon Sect, still has its remnants hidden within the Qitian Continent, always seeking opportunities to free the Origin Demon Sword from the Sword Tower."

"The moment the sword left the Sword Tower, Source Demon must have been communicating with those people in private."

"It was the one who gave the instructions, leading to the remnants of the Demon Sword Sect thoroughly investigating everything related to you."

"The matter was executed by people from the Demon Sword Sect, and the one behind it all is Source Demon. If you don’t believe me, feel free to interrogate Source Demon thoroughly."

Chen Weihuang ended the communication.
