Chapter 468 - 468 Who Is It? Itʼs You!

468 Who Is It? It’s You!

In the icy plains in the north of the Yinghuang Province, beside the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar, Xue Lianzi was about to leave with Xu Qing and Chen Erniu.

However, at this moment, a hundred beams of light suddenly erupted from the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar and headed straight for him.

The appearance of these lights instantly caused the crowd below to gasp.

Xue Lianzi’s reaction was very fast. He flicked his sleeve and kept these lights before they could get close. He then turned and left rapidly.

The competition for the rankings was about to end as Xu Qing and the captain fell one after another.

Although the others were also continuing, it was impossible for them to be first.

The most likely one was Qing Qiu. She was currently at 29,000 feet and was still gritting her teeth as she moved forward.

As for the Sword Holder Elders who were paying attention to this matter in the Sword Holding Court, their eyes revealed a strange glint as they looked at Xu Qing and Chen Erniu, who had been taken away by Xue Lianzi.

“These two brats should have each obtained a trace of the aura in that totem.”

“We’ve studied the aura inside the totem over the years. It’s very mysterious. It’s a pity that it can’t be absorbed and can only be used externally.”

“This isn’t something they can control. According to the internal mechanism of the Sword Holders, arrange for someone to get it back later and increase their military contributions. If they don’t agree, there’s no need to force them.”

Qing Qiu, who had climbed to 29,300 feet, had no choice but to stop. She had reached her limit.

Even if she could increase it by hundreds of feet, it would only shake her foundation and it was impossible for her to reach 30,000 feet.

Hence, Qing Qiu felt regretful but she still decisively let go.

As she ended, the competition for the ranking of the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar should have come to an end. However, at the next instant, when the six-hour time limit was halfway through, a person walked out of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect.

This person had a tall and straight figure and a dignified appearance. His expression was filled with calmness and his blue robe seemed to be surrounded by flowing water, reflecting a resplendent light.

His eyes were deep and there were runic marks flickering in his pupils.

The surrounding void actually distorted wherever he passed. It was as though this was caused by some cultivation art of his, causing it to feel as though he was shuttling through the void.

This scene was extremely rare to see on a Golden Core cultivator.

His appearance immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

All of them gasped and revealed respectful expressions as they made way for him.

He was the Dao Child of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect, Zhang Siyun.

He moved forward calmly. He didn’t like to travel with ants, so he didn’t appear when Xu Qing and the others.

Only at this moment, when everyone had given up, did he walk out and walk to the foot of the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar.

Finally, under the gazes of everyone, he stepped onto the pillar in front of him.

He leaped up.

As soon as he stepped on it, he sped out. His speed was so fast that he reached a height of 10,000 feet without any pause in between.

Such a momentum instantly caused everyone who was watching to show a strange glint in their eyes. However, they didn’t discuss or cause an uproar. It was as though they felt that it was normal for him to be able to do this.

After all, this was the number one human disciple of this generation in the Yinghuang Province!

At the same time, the few Sword Holder Elders in the Sword Holding Court also looked at Zhang Siyun.

“He isn’t bad. He can be considered a quasi Sword Holder.”

“His grandmaster, Daoist Southern Affairs, is one of the four deacons of the Sword Holding Palace of the county. Although his rank is similar to ours, he holds a post in the Sword Palace. When we see him, we have to call him lord.”

“I heard that Daoist Southern Affairs once asked him if he should use his once per ten-year authority as a deacon to exempt him from the assessment. However, the kid rejected him and wanted to personally come here to participate in the assessment. He wanted to take the official path and become a Sword Holder. He would then borrow his grandmaster’s authority to increase his rank.”

“This is because he is extremely confident in himself. Although there are only three spots, he thinks that he will definitely obtain it.”

“The outstanding talents this time aren’t simple. Let’s see which of them can obtain the three spots.”

Zhang Siyun’s speed didn’t decrease. He leaped from a height of 10,000 feet to 17,000 feet until he easily stepped into 20,000 feet.

At this height, his speed lowered slightly and he would occasionally stop. However, overall, he was still very fast. 22,000 feet, 24,000 feet, 26,000 feet.

He was a little out of breath at this height. After all, the impact of the resentment at this location was extremely great. However, at the next instant, a canopy appeared above him and his entire body instantly flickered with white light.

That was his life lantern.

This life lantern was different from Xu Qing’s black umbrella and the rainbow wind song. It was completely white and gave off a holy feeling. The flames were also white fire.

Its appearance was like an inverted mountain peak that was filled with holy intent.

This was the White Mountain Holy Fire Lantern!

A large amount of white fire spread from the mountain peak to the edges before flowing down. Wherever they passed, the void would burn.

Under the White Mountain Holy Fire Lantern, Zhang Siyun’s body burned with white flames, emitting a white light. Coupled with his blue Daoist robe, extraordinary appearance, and calm gaze, a sense of holy transcendence rose!

A roar rang out from behind him.

The void behind him emitted the sound of shattering. A huge white dragon stuck its body out of the crack and surrounded him, intimidating the surroundings.

Two long white dragon whiskers hung to the left and right of Zhang Siyun, swaying irregularly.

There was also the beard that grew around the dragon’s neck that was also moving with the wind. All of this made Zhang Siyun seem like an otherworldly immortal who stood between heaven and earth and subdued the dragon.

He looked up and spoke inwardly.

“A group of ants from before isn’t worthy of standing above me. Watch how I crush you.”

He moved.

27,000 feet, 28,000 feet, 29,000 feet. This lasted until he surpassed Qing Qiu’s previous height and leaped to 30,000 feet.

He originally wanted to continue, but at the next instant, the bizarre moon totem at this height actually shone for the third time after the first two times and was activated!

Zhang Siyun’s body trembled.

At the same time, in the extreme west of the Wanggu Continent, which was incomparably far away from the Yinghuang Province, there was still a blurry murmur from the red moon hanging high in the sky in the endless night.

“Who plundered a trace of my divine source… Hmm?”

“It’s you?”

As soon as this voice rang out, the calm expression of Zhang Siyun instantly changed to shock.

The calmness in his eyes disappeared and turned into horror.

Disbelief appeared on his face. He felt an indescribable shocking power. It was as though a god had descended and drowned him with fury and intent of extermination!

All of this happened too suddenly. He was like an ant under the finger of a giant, unable to resist and incomparably fragile.

He let out a mournful cry and spat out a large mouthful of blood. There were also loud bangs coming from his body as blood erupted from all the pores on his body.

The life lantern above his head dimmed and almost extinguished. The white dragon behind him let out a tragic cry. More than half of its body exploded and its white body turned blood-colored.

His legs directly collapsed and half of his body shattered into a large amount of flesh and blood. In fact, this destruction was spreading. For the first time, his face revealed despair and extreme confusion.

He didn’t know what was going on.

This scene was too sudden.

In an instant, a figure rushed out of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect. Even the few Sword Holder Elders from the Sword Holding Court made their moves.

This wasn’t because they were biased. It was because although Xu Qing and Chen Erniu were also injured earlier, it wasn’t so serious and their lives wouldn’t be affected.

However, for some reason, this Zhang Siyun seemed to be about to be destroyed.

They couldn’t just watch such a heaven’s chosen die here.

In the blink of an eye, a total of four Nihility cultivators, including the figure from the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect, appeared beside Zhang Siyun and treated him.

The old man from the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect took out a large number of natural treasures and even used an extremely precious Grand Affairs Pill.

He had prepared this pill to save Zhang Siyun at a critical moment. However, he couldn’t care less now. With the help of the terrifying vitality contained in it and countless pills, he suppressed Zhang Siyun’s injuries and saved him.

After doing this, the old man supported the weak and unconscious Zhang Siyun and looked helplessly at the Sword Holder Elders in front of him.

“Sirs, why is this happening?”

The three Sword Holder Elders were also puzzled. They looked at the 30,000 feet mark of the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar and shook their heads with a bitter smile.

“We’ll investigate this matter later.”

The old man from the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect sighed and cupped his fists before leaving with Zhang Siyun.

This matter could be considered to have come to an end. The Sword Holding Court was also very fast. They directly sealed the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar and didn’t allow anyone to climb it. After that, they began to inspect the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar.

Amidst the countless uproars that followed, Zhang Siyun was brought back to the base by the old man who then spared no expense to treat his injuries, allowing them to completely stabilize.

Zhang Siyun wasn’t ordinary either. After his injuries stabilized, he only used two days to completely recover.

However, regardless of whether it was him, the old man from the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect, or the Sword Holding Court, none of them noticed the real reason that… Zhang Siyun, who should have died, didn’t die.

After Zhang Siyun recovered, a red moon appeared in an extremely hidden corner of his sea of consciousness.

The figure sitting on the moon with its face covered slowly lowered its hands, revealing a strange face.

It was strange because this face had no facial features.

What it had was countless small holes that were shrinking and squirming, flowing with red blood endlessly…

It gave off an ominous feeling.

“It’s not him.”

“The plunderer should be my kind… After I descend, I’ll find them and devour them.”

“This body is weak and needs to be nurtured. Before that… I’ll continue to sleep.”

The figure on the moon muttered softly, and its voice grew weaker and weaker.

Zhang Siyun didn’t have the ability to know all of this. He thought that everything was normal, but in reality, this was the only reason why he didn’t die.

However, Xu Qing, who was at the Eight Sects Alliance’s encampment, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes revealed palpitations and shock as he looked at the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect’s encampment.
