Divine War Pill Emperor

Watching Jiang Chen leave, Liang Yiyi couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Tears streamed down her face.

’Young Master, goodbye,’ she said silently in her heart.

With a wave of her hand, the Yunling Saintess caused the entire Moyun Mountain to abruptly rise into the sky and vanish from the world, as if it had never existed at all.

However, the Yunling Saintess was inwardly shaken.

She looked at Liang Yiyi and said, ”Yiyi, don’t cry.”

”Since your feelings for him run so deep, and you’ve saved him in this way... if he truly can’t bear to be without you, he will find a way to restore your appearance and then come back for you.”

”You two will meet again someday.”

Only then did Liang Yiyi stop crying.

Still, she said, ”I don’t want him to take risks for my sake.”

The Yunling Saintess looked at this disciple of hers.

”You have a firm will. If you don’t want him to take risks for you, then focus on your Cultivation. Once your Cultivation level has increased, you can find a way to solve the problem of your appearance yourself.”

Liang Yiyi nodded. ”Yes, Master, I will.”

The Yunling Saintess then asked, puzzled, ”By the way, Yiyi, where did you learn that dance you just performed?”

Because as she watched Liang Yiyi’s dance, her Cultivation had suddenly fluctuated.

With her power, even watching the Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers a few more times could very well cause her Cultivation to take a huge leap forward.

You must understand, she was currently a Martial Emperor, a level at which further progress was incredibly difficult.

However, she had a premonition that the Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers could allow her Cultivation to make another major breakthrough.

This made her treat the matter with extreme gravity.

Liang Yiyi gazed into the distance, toward the spot where Jiang Chen had vanished.

She said in a low voice, ”The Young Master taught it to me.”

”He was very good to me. He taught me the Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers.”

”He helped me start my Cultivation, which is why I am where I am today.”

Her feelings for Jiang Chen were more than just gratitude; the rest was pure, unadulterated love.

She could never forget how kind he had been to her.

Hearing Liang Yiyi’s words, the Yunling Saintess was utterly shocked.

”Him? He taught you a dance like that?”

”Don’t you realize? The dance you just performed contains the profound principles of heaven and earth, the very Rules of Life and Death.”

”One could say that such a dance is an anomaly that shouldn’t even exist in this world.”

”How could he possibly have taught you?”

The Yunling Saintess didn’t believe it.

But Liang Yiyi said firmly, ”Master, I’m truly not lying to you.”

”The Young Master has always been this good to me.”

The Yunling Saintess took a deep breath.

Then she gave a wry smile. ”Originally, I thought it was your good fortune to have met me.”

”But now I realize, meeting you was my great fortune.”

”This dance of yours is of great help to me. When you have the chance, perform it a few more times.”

”I believe that in a little while, I will have to leave this world. When that time comes, you will be the sole successor of the Cloud-Rubbing Cave, and its Saintess.”

Liang Yiyi was stunned.

”Master, what do you mean, ’leave this world’?”

The Yunling Saintess smiled. ”It’s very simple. When a Martial Cultivator’s Cultivation breaks through to the Martial Emperor realm, they will undergo a tribulation and ascend to a higher world.”

”For me, that time should be soon. With the help of your dance, I will break through even faster and be more confident when facing my tribulation.”

Liang Yiyi was dumbfounded.

Her Master was actually a Martial Emperor expert.

Not just that, but a Martial Emperor expert on the verge of ascension. It was simply unimaginable.

Seeing Liang Yiyi’s dazed expression, the Yunling Saintess said with deep meaning, ”Don’t envy me. This dance you possess, which contains the Life and Death Rules, is itself a terrifying Divine Technique.”

”Your future potential will surpass even mine.”

”In the future, we, master and disciple, will surely meet again in other worlds.”

”For now, focus on your Cultivation.”

From then on, Liang Yiyi began to train with extreme diligence, and her Cultivation progressed at a divine speed.

She was only waiting until her Cultivation was strong enough to go and help her Young Master.

「In the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, at the Second Prince’s Traveling Palace in Gambling City.」

「Inside a secret chamber.」

Wen Shixi watched as the black aura above the Soul-Breaking Wood was almost completely absorbed by it. The characters for ”Jiang Chen” and ”the Jiang Family” upon it had long since turned black.

At that moment, Wen Shixi was ecstatic.

”Mr. Gu, look! The Soul-Breaking Wood has absorbed all the black aura! It looks like Jiang Chen is a dead man for sure this time.”

”Hahaha! Fantastic! That damn Jiang Chen is finally dead!”

Mr. Gu watched with a faint, inscrutable smile.

This was because after the Soul-Breaking Wood finished absorbing the black aura, Jiang Chen and the Jiang Family would be completely overcome by an endless curse, and then they would all die violently.

It was a method of death that no one could resist.

”Your Highness, rest assured. From now on, no one will be able to stand in your way of becoming the Sovereign.”

”No, not just the Sovereign of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom. As long as I assist you, we can annex the Six Kingdoms, and even conquer the Divine Wind Empire as well.”

”Then, we will strike fear into the Three Great Empires, dominate the Four Directions Continent, and ideally, unify the entire Lower Realm!”

”And achieve an eternal dominion!”

The two of them looked forward to their grand ambitions.

Just then...

CRACK!

Suddenly, a crisp, muffled crack echoed abruptly from within the secret chamber.

For a moment, Wen Shixi froze, thinking he must have misheard.

Even Mr. Gu was a bit stunned.

Then, both of them simultaneously looked toward the Soul-Breaking Wood.

They hadn’t noticed it before, but one look sent a jolt of shock through them.

They saw that the Soul-Breaking Wood had actually started to crack.

The Soul-Breaking Wood wasn’t large to begin with, but for a crack to appear... what did this mean?

In their hearts, they both knew very well.

If the Soul-Breaking Wood cracked, the curse on Jiang Chen would be broken.

If the curse was broken, Jiang Chen would not die.

Wen Shixi asked in alarm, ”Mr. Gu, what is happening?”

He wondered if he was so excited that he was hallucinating.

Mr. Gu had said before that if the Soul-Breaking Wood cracked, it meant the curse on Jiang Chen was broken.

But Mr. Gu had also said that almost no one in this world could break such a curse.

”This... how is this possible?”

”Something must have gone wrong.”

Mr. Gu trembled.

He stared in disbelief at the crack on the Soul-Breaking Wood. The fissure was small, but it was undeniably, tangibly there.

Everything, it seemed, had quietly changed.

Immediately, Mr. Gu hurried forward. A strange symbol appeared in his hand, and he slapped it toward the Soul-Breaking Wood.

CRACK!

But when his symbol landed on the Soul-Breaking Wood, an even greater anomaly occurred.

The Soul-Breaking Wood cracked again.

Of course, this was only the beginning.

CRACK... CRACKLE...

Cracks continuously appeared on the Soul-Breaking Wood, the sounds of them splitting coming one after another.

”No... No...”

In that instant, Mr. Gu let out a nearly crazed shout.

He threw himself to the ground, clutching the Soul-Breaking Wood and letting out a guttural roar.

He couldn’t accept that the Soul-Breaking Wood was breaking apart.

The Soul-Breaking Wood breaking apart meant that Jiang Chen’s curse was broken. With Jiang Chen’s curse broken, the rule of the Blood Curse—one lives, one dies—would come into play.

If Jiang Chen died, he, Mr. Gu, would live.

But if Jiang Chen survived, then he, Mr. Gu, would have to die.

Such a rule was terrifying.

Originally, Jiang Chen’s death was a certainty, but now, the situation had reversed.

That meant the one who would die was him.

He frantically tried to save the Soul-Breaking Wood, and in doing so, save himself.

SHATTER!

Finally, with a soft sound, the entire Soul-Breaking Wood shattered into fragments, scattering splinters all over the floor.
