Chapter 831: Chapter 272: It’s thrilling to use a bull-cleaver to kill a chicken.

Master Chen.

In the Qi Tian Continent, calling someone “Master” is a form of highly respectful address, one that is even higher than “Senior.” To call someone “Senior” implies that the person is older than oneself, or that their Cultivation far surpasses one’s own.

But to call someone “Master” signifies that one regards oneself as a student before them, with much to learn and a great deal of admiration for the other party.

If it were known by others that a top-tier Family Head from the Qi Tian Continent was addressing a junior in the Body Integration Realm as “Master,” they would surely be shocked to the point of disbelief. Indeed, the Bai Family Patriarch did not find it easy to utter “Master Chen,” as it had been many years since he last used such an address. It felt remote, as since his ascendance to Family Head of the Bai Family, scarcely anyone on the Qi Tian Continent was worthy of being called “Master” by him.

“Hmm?”

Chen Qiu, who was about to leave, hovered in the air and casually addressed the middle-aged man in a white robe with golden threads embroidered on the cuffs behind him: “Do you, fellow Daoist, require something?”

Although he did not know how the other party had come to know his surname and name, Chen Qiu did not find it strange; after all, his name was occasionally mentioned in the Heavenly Dao Decrees, and his name had resonated across countless Continents. Under such circumstances, it seemed normal for a person from an upper-level Continent to know his name.

“Master Chen.”

The Bai Family Patriarch took a deep breath, finding it much easier to say “Master Chen” this time. He shot towards Chen Qiu and, after arriving at a safe distance, he sped up his speech: “I am the Bai Family Patriarch, and this is the matter…”

…

After dozens of sentences, Chen Qiu nodded and after a pause, spoke softly: “I see, so you mean there’s someone from a Fourth Grade Continent who thinks I stole his opportunity and harbors ill feelings toward me, which is why they activated the ‘Void Seeking Enemy,’ this Seven-colored term, to launch a downgrade strike against me?”

This really was like an unexpected calamity from the heavens.

Ling Shiqi.

Today was the first time he had learned this person’s name; he had never known it before. Who knew when he had accidentally snatched this person’s chance in the Heavenly Dao Decree? Besides, it was this person’s choice not to claim the decree immediately for the sake of showing off and instead to send an invitation first—how could he be blamed for that?

Yet…

Without speaking, Chen Qiu’s brow furrowed slightly. A top-tier force from a Fourth Grade Continent, whose strongest family member was at the peak of transcending tribulation, overwhelmingly surpassed him in Cultivation.

This meant if he provoked this force, he would likely face endless pursuit from someone of that Cultivation level. To be honest, he didn’t want to provoke a force of such caliber in the short term. He simply desired to cultivate in peace and slowly grow to the pinnacle.

However, sometimes his desire not to provoke others didn’t mean that they were willing to peacefully coexist with him.

After taking another deep breath, the Bai Family Patriarch used Spiritual Energy to roll a Memory Stone and send it in front of Chen Qiu, stating earnestly: “Master Chen, this Memory Stone holds the true visage of Ling Shiqi. This is also a sign of the Bai Family’s sincerity. I think you, Master Chen, can go much farther than Ling Shiqi.”

“The First Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade Continents are collectively known as the First Grade Continents.”

“Whereas the Fourth Grade, Fifth Grade, and Sixth Grade Continents are collectively referred to as Mid-grade Continents.”

“Each Continent is bound by the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, and the shackles between First Grade Continents and Mid-grade Continents are even stronger. Ling Shiqi used to travel freely to lower-level Continents, relying on the title of ‘Heavenly King.’ Now that he no longer has this Heavenly King Title, even with the power of Ling Pavilion, it would be difficult to pass through these Heavenly Dao Shackles to find you, Master Chen, in a lower-level Continent. However, upon learning that you, Master Chen, are still alive, he may initiate more fierce attacks from afar.”

“Of course, this is all a misunderstanding. If you, Master Chen, wish to communicate with Ling Pavilion to resolve this misunderstanding, I, Bai, am also willing to act as a mediator. After all, the Jiang Taiping Continent is an upper-level Continent of the Qi Tian Continent, and it’s also a place you, Master Chen, will eventually visit.”

“Becoming enemies with a top force in that Continent now would surely cause setbacks for you when you, Master Chen, later go to the ‘Jiang Taiping Continent.'”

“Hmm.”

Chen Qiu lightly nodded, fiddling with the Memory Stone in his hand. The matter sounded quite troublesome, but in truth, it was simple to deal with. He didn’t care what the consequences would be, nor was he concerned about the strength of the top-tier force on the Fourth Grade Continent. He only knew someone had inexplicably slapped him.

If he did not return this slap,

his Dao Heart would not be at peace.

The next moment—

The Memory Stone in his hand was suddenly crushed, and immediately thereafter, a violent storm arose in the heavens and earth. Dark clouds enveloped the entire world in an instant, and the booming sounds of Heavenly Thunder roared once again.

Then!

The thunder and lightning, carrying immense intimidation as they flashed across the heavens and earth, vanished in the blink of an eye. Chen Qiu, however, gazed calmly into the distance, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned. He could sense, in the profound depths, that his attacks were swiftly traversing space towards an unknown Boundary.

Was this the way high-grade Cultivators fought?

Though countless billions of miles apart, they were still able to contend with each other—unseen in person, only their abilities were visible. Interesting, he quite liked it.

He had actually wanted to send another attack, but regrettably, he discovered that the ‘Void Seeking Enemy’ Seven-colored term, though not explicitly stated, had a limitation—one could only launch a remote attack that ignored distance once a day against an individual.

So be it.

If this Ling Shiqi could withstand this strike, he would deliver another blow tomorrow. After all, he had plenty of time and nothing else to do, and he did not mind striking promptly every day.
