Chapter 1847 - Clamoring
After s.h.i.+ Hao left, a streak of immortal light flew over from the distant unknown, directly landing in front of Heaven Mending Dao’s divine gates. It was glistening with splendor, holy and flawless.
This was an immortal dao weapon, a Heaven Measuring Ruler. It was pure white like jade, but it wasn’t an ordinary immortal artifact. It was activated by someone, now reviving, incomparably powerful.
It was ready to launch an attack at any time, swirling with many types of terrifying immortal energy, filled with a world eradicating aura!
However, Huang had already left, no traces to be found anymore.
“Huang, do you dare come and fight?!” That seriously wounded elder seethed with rage, really wis.h.i.+ng he could immediately cut down Huang.
The starry skies were quiet, there was no response.
The three individuals made offerings, and then they controlled the immortal artifact, rus.h.i.+ng into the cosmos, wis.h.i.+ng to find him.
In reality, s.h.i.+ Hao heard it, but he didn’t pay this any attention.
Originally, he wanted to wait and ambush them, but he sensed that this immortal artifact was quite special. The Heaven Measuring Ruler was brilliant, supported by the terrifying divine will of a certain existence, so he didn’t show himself.
News spread. The world was in disorder.
No one deliberately tried to spread news of this battle, but it was still leaked out, spreading under the heavens. The entire world quickly learned of it, all who did couldn’t help but sigh. Huang really was formidable!
This was someone from an Immortal Domain inheritance! Three great experts ambushed him, yet in the end, he still calmly left, almost killing one of the supreme beings!
Recently, it was always Huang’s information going around, all rumors related to him.
He didn’t appear even once in thirty years, yet he achieved supreme being level. Now, he was actually powerful to this degree!
“This is his style, he never bowed down, never willing to lower his head. Even when facing Immortal Domain’s people, he isn’t willing to lower his own dignity. However, it truly is unfortunate for this Huang.” An elder said with a light sigh.
“Why are you saying that it is unfortunate?” His disciple was confused.
“His actions have already proven that he has made his choice. He isn’t going to enter Immortal Domain. Meanwhile, immortal ascension is not possible here, so no matter how stunning he is, he still isn’t a match for time, destined to eventually pa.s.s away.” The elder said with a sigh.
Huang was this decisive, already deciding what to give up on. He wouldn’t lower his head, wouldn’t bend his knees. However, if he stayed behind like this, how was he supposed to achieve immortality? Right now, the greater environment didn’t even allow for one to pa.s.s through that barrier, so once an age without cultivation arrived, what then? The situation was already set in stone!
There were many matters that didn’t need to be waited for to know the results, the people could already foresee the results.
Huang was this decisive, his fate already set. Everyone knew this.
“It is too much of a pity. A supreme being under five hundred years! He is history’s number one in this great era. I heard that in Immortal Ancient Great Era, there didn’t seem to be this type of freak either!”
“It truly can’t be helped for Huang. The ruined immortal’s bloodline’s ancestor is an ancient but still living immortal king! That level of magical power is just heaven overflowing! How is he supposed to go inside? If he dares show himself in Immortal Domain, he would undoubtedly die!”
If it was a true immortal, then that was one thing, but this was an immortal king!
Apart from this, would there be any lack of true immortals? This type of inheritance, just about any expert they sent out would be a tragedy of death!
“He has heaven warping talent, fought bloodily in Desolate Border, but all of it is going to amount to nothing!”
Many people felt regret for s.h.i.+ Hao, feeling pity. This type of individual, with favorable conditions, would become a dragon, but he lacked this type of opportunity!
Now, he was going to be trapped here, destined to be without any hope, have no chance left with immortality. No matter how stunning he was, he would still die of old age in this realm.
His lifespan wouldn’t be extremely long. An age without cultivation was arriving, so he would at most have another ten thousand years to cultivate.
“His talent is exceptional, originally number one in this great era!”
“History’s youngest supreme being, it is a bit regretful!”
“From past until now, he is the most powerful young expert!”
These people weren’t stingy with their praise at all, full of admiration. Strictly in terms of cultivation, he indeed deserved this type of praise.
Only, it was a bit regretful. What accompanied him would only be a declining, decaying world. There was no hope, it would gradually decay.
In the end, in this era without cultivation, he was destined to quietly watch the years pa.s.s alone, his companions would grow old and pa.s.s one one after another.
However, despite this being the case, even if s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t enter Immortal Domain, the conclusion was set. There were still some people who didn’t wish to let him go, unable to let go of their hatred!
This was naturally the result of w.a.n.g Family, Jin Family, and others pus.h.i.+ng the agenda. There was also Immortal Palace and the clans who bore hostility against the sinner’s bloodline.
“You all praise Huang, but I do not agree. Even if he has unmatched talent, his killing intent was too strong. He slaughtered my generation’s cultivators and deserves to be punished!”
An elder jumped out, his cultivation not weak, calling this into question.
“The ones who Huang killed are all people that should be killed, why can’t he? He fought bloodily in Desolate Border, killed the Emperor Clans no one in my realm could face, his achievements brilliant. Did he not kill brilliantly enough back then?” Someone retorted.
“What a joke, facing the enemy is only to be expected, it is the duty of everyone in our realm, an obligated duty. Moreover, this is already something of the past. What I speak of is now. He actually attacked Jin Taijun, this type of virtuous senior, it is truly disgraceful!” An elder said with a stern face.
There was naturally a group of people who jumped out, agreeing with his words.
“Virtuous Jin Taijun? This is the biggest joke! Just what has Jin Taijun done? She doesn’t have any care for her status, continuously acting domineeringly, trying to cause trouble for Huang many times. In Desolate Border, she even more so directly surrendered, selling out Huang who achieved great merit to the other side, utterly shameless! There are even more so rumors going around now, stating that Jin Family has colluded with the creatures of darkness. I feel like Huang fought her well, the only regret is that he wasn’t able to kill that old wretch!”
When these words were spoken, there were great weaves. Many people spoke out against Jin Taijun.
“Shut your mouth, how can Jin Taijun be someone you all can humiliate? What proof do you all have? What right do you all have to slander the virtuous senior Jin Taijun?”
“To be shameless to this degree, fine, let me ask you all, what proof do you all have? Did you personally see Huang chase after Jin Taijun?”
It was clear that there were people who were purposely muddling the waters, wis.h.i.+ng to drag Huang into the water.
There were some families which wanted to emphasize their own people’s innocence, also using this chance to attack Huang.
They were about to leave, so perhaps they still had one final chance to make a move. Either way, Huang had no fate with Immortal Domain, so they didn’t mind stepping on him a bit.
The focus of this was a bit strong, one could generally make out which families they belonged to.
“Heh, you all glorify Huang too much. In my opinion, he is nothing more than a sinner!” Someone spoke out.
These words provoked public anger. Some people shouted, “What sin does Huang have?”
“He killed those with merit. When the creatures of darkness were invading, he first captured w.a.n.g Da, then ambushed w.a.n.g Wu and others. Those are w.a.n.g Family’s Nine Dragons, individuals who established great contributions before in Desolate Border, fought with their lives for our world, yet Huang acted so viciously, not thinking for the greater situation at all. He only thinks about his own selfish gains, harming those of outstanding service.”
When some people heard this, they couldn’t help but furrow their brows. It was because things were getting worse and worse. These words were clearly intended to muddle the waters further.
These words provoked too many people.
“Hateful. When have the w.a.n.g Family’s Nine Dragons established great contributions in Desolate Border? From the past until now, when have you all heard anything? The reason they even appeared in Desolate Border, wasn’t it because they were exiled there? Originally, w.a.n.g Family didn’t even plan to send out troops, leaving many people’s hearts cold!”
What he said was the truth. In the past, when Meng Tianzheng fought bloodily in Desolate Border, w.a.n.g Family’s dragons actually took this chance to raid Great Elder’s back garden -- Heavenly Deity Inst.i.tution, all because they wanted to kill Huang.
Under that type of greater situation, they even dared to do such a thing. Just how brazen were they?
In the end, out of rage, Great Elder hurried back to Heavenly Deity Inst.i.tution, personally taking action to slaughter them. Finally, he forced out Immortal w.a.n.g, their capital offenses pardoned, but were banished to Desolate Border.
However, after all these years, even after the great war ended, there were not many great contributions to be heard of from them, only them repeatedly harming s.h.i.+ Hao.
When there were people who retorted these things, there were still people who jumped out.
“Even if that is the case, Huang is still in the wrong. The things of the past are things of the past, why is he still capturing w.a.n.g Da, w.a.n.g Wu, and the others? He isn’t paying any attention to the greater situation.” A self-claimed White Lotus Virgin Mary stood out, speaking like this.
“Caring for the greater situation my a.s.s, do you even want any face? You can even utter these types of words?! Why did he have to capture w.a.n.g Da? It was because he was the one who provoked things first, okay? He wanted to capture Cao Yusheng, but was in the end captured by Huang instead, he deserved it, guilty and entirely appropriate punishment! Moreover, after all these years, how many creatures of darkness has he killed? All he is doing is holding an office, enjoying the privileges without a stroke of work! There were already many people who began to doubt if they were colluding with the creatures of darkness. The end result was that in broken Xumi Mountain, w.a.n.g Wu, w.a.n.g Family’s Old Eight, and others were caught red-handed.”
When the White Lotus Virgin Mary heard this, she flew into a rage out of humiliation.
“A bunch of nonsense, there is no proof at all! Moreover, let me ask you, why did Huang have to suppress w.a.n.g s.h.i.+? He clearly doesn’t care for the greater situation at all, he just wants to kill my realm’s heroic genius!”
“You are still saying there is no proof? A darkness supreme being appeared on broken Xumi Mountain, was it not someone w.a.n.g Family colluded with? There’s proof right there! Also, that w.a.n.g s.h.i.+, he didn’t appear when Desolate Border faced trouble, only coming to look down on the world when everything was calm, what kind of heroic genius is that? Also, he wanted to capture the Lunar Jade Rabbit on broken Xumi Mountain, and only then did that provoke Huang, angering him into taking action. Could it be that for the sake of the greater situation,he should just watch as this so-called heroic genius captures his friends? Is w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ acting for the sake of the big picture? What kind of reasoning is this?!”
“Exactly! Just a long life child who hasn’t established an ounce of contributions, never even killed any creatures of darkness after he appeared in the world! Yet he wants to capture Huang’s friends, telling Huang to see the greater situation, that others cannot interfere, isn’t this the biggest joke of the universe? What a pure White Lotus Virgin Mary!”
Everyone was incited, the White Lotus Virgin Mary starting to find it hard to argue back.
However, they still said with a sneer, “Hmph, regardless, in the end, Huang is still a thankless wretch. When Desolate Border’s great battle ended, Meng Tianzheng dying in battle, Senior Immortal w.a.n.g had previously wanted to take him in, have him enter w.a.n.g Family, but he not only refused, he still opposes his children like this. He doesn’t know any grat.i.tude, has the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog.”
“White Lotus Virgin Mary, do you all still have any skin on your face?”
It was clear that this time, everyone felt like she crossed the line.
Now that Huang returned, did he still need anyone’s sheltering? Where couldn’t he go?
“Senior Immortal w.a.n.g might have even wanted to pa.s.s down the Chaos Calming Art, this is treasuring geniuses, yet this shameless person doesn’t understand grat.i.tude, in the end even opposing w.a.n.g Family!” The White Lotus Virgin Mary said.
Many people couldn’t continue watching this. w.a.n.g Family was opposing Huang, how much hostility they bore in the past was something the entire world knew, even a child able to see it. However, she was quibbling like this, it was a bit shameful.
In the past, Immortal Academy and Sacred Academy, these two had said that w.a.n.g Family were too rushed this time. Wasn’t this just to trap Huang in w.a.n.g Family, scheme against his Imperishable Scripture and other things? The way they did things was too obvious.
“At that time, if Senior Immortal w.a.n.g wanted to kill Huang, it was as easy as just turning his head, yet he didn’t. He even went so far as to offer to take in Huang who w.a.n.g Family bore enmity against, he truly is benevolent and magnanimous.” White Lotus Virgin Mary said.
“Did that Immortal w.a.n.g dare?”
When the Desolate Border War ended, Huang established extraordinary merit. Who dared to offend the world and kill him?
Immortal Academy, Sacred Academy, their two supreme beings were extremely close to Meng Tianzheng, they definitely wouldn’t agree to this.
Moreover, at that time, Huang’s cultivation made huge breakthroughs, no one under supreme being level could kill him. If he really died, then how many people could even do it? Meanwhile, on the surface, the ones who bore grudges against Huang at the time were only Jin Family and w.a.n.g Family.
At that time, Jin Taijun was seriously injured and dying, body and spirit almost destroyed, no way she could do anything.
If Huang really was killed, the first suspect would be Immortal w.a.n.g. No matter what he thought, during that period, he didn’t dare take action.
Otherwise, he would be shown disdain by everyone under heaven. At the very least, if w.a.n.g Family still wanted to stand strong in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, then he didn’t dare go against the greater situation.
The Huang at that time, had a huge advantage.
If Immortal w.a.n.g was truly deranged, not caring about the consequences, then his w.a.n.g Family definitely wouldn’t have it easy. Immortal Academy and Sacred Academy’s two supreme beings, even if they can’t kill him, they would definitely slaughter his disciples.
“Immortal w.a.n.g’s intentions were obvious! Back then, his so-called kindness was nothing more than a joke!”
“When Desolate Border’s great war ended, w.a.n.g Family was already impatient, their table manners too poor. What they wanted to do was something even children could understand. By painting this type of pretty picture of him, it makes me embarra.s.sed to live on the same earth as you.”
The main character s.h.i.+ Hao noticed something was off a long time ago. There were people purposely stirring the waters. His actions were simple and direct, rus.h.i.+ng straight for the source of it all.
