Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 1777: A Game of Mystics (1)

The Knightly Dao Calamity became a widespread, widely discussed topic across the stars. The rambunctious talks and activity recently had an-unprecedented aftermath, especially as the Blessed-Sentinel, Observing Chronicle, and Fortuitous Gazette-received constant updates and a great addition of-upgraded subscribers.

The Knightly Dao Calamity, the title bestowed to the-event that left three Sages crippled, a rumored Sage-assassin killed, and three Sages missing, among those-missing Sages was Sage Skytouch whose last location-was investigated yet there was no decisive information-of her whereabouts. As the news outlet tasked themselves with discovering new information, an-urgent update was issued that brought in an extraordinary amount of new subscribers and upgraded-Gold Editions, and that was none other than the truth-about Skytouch!

She was in seclusion and had been for thirty thousand-years. Supposedly, she suffered a disastrous loss during-her cultivation trying to condense a True Breath of a-Sage and experienced a fierce backlash. Her cultivation-base experienced Cultivation Deviation, and her-experience left her cultivation in a state of decline and-degradation!

It was speculated by the Fortuitous Gazette specifically-that her Sage strength was no more. She barely possessed enough strength to rival a World Emperor!

This discovery was enough to create massive seismic-activity among the stars. If Skytouch had suffered-grievous injuries, failing to retain her Sage-level of-strength, then who in the living hell was at the-Knightly Dao Pavilion on that day?!

Yet the most incredible news was the elevation in the-Outer-Creation Kings Ranking of the new foreigner, the-Neo-Dawn Alchemic Saint, the Ascendant Emperor of-Neo-Dawn, the one known as Wei Wuyin! He had initially started as the 73rd Ranker, but that rapidly-changed as he jumped 26th, and then the 3rd!

What was already an unprecedentedly rapid shift in-rankings exceeding anything in the past was only-becoming more exaggerated, yet today, he climbed-from 3rd to 2nd! Going from 3rd to 2nd was more-difficult than going from 73rd to 3rd!!

The shock was later unanimously given widespread-approval; the incredible event between Wei Wuyin and-the Seven Utmost Towerʼs Zenith Creation Towerʼs Dao-Enforcer, a genuine Supreme Sage issuing out an Edict,-was as legendary as one could feasibly imagine.

”Fu#k off!”

”Make me!”

Young cultivators were emulating his tyrannical-demeanor within a few hours of the news traversing-across the stars. Wei Wuyin hadnʼt acted like that-Supreme Sage Dao Enforcer, speaking plainly and-directly through the Dark Void, allowing individuals to-not only capture his image of rescuing Shang Wanqing-from her captor from afar with Spiritual Jades but also-the domineering tone of his voice!

The most embarrassing part was that the Zenith Creation Tower did nothing! This was a severe loss of-face for the entire Seven Utmost Towers. However, the-expected unity of the galaxy against this foreigner-hadnʼt happened as most praised, avidly debated, and-emulated his actions with great zeal.

The various news outlets ate fabulously well within the-shortest amount of time!

However, the Knightly Dao Calamity wasnʼt over yet;-Alchemic Saint Neo-Dawn had issued an open invitation to a game of Mystics that he was setting up,-including a mysterious figure that was said to have-severely injured or killed a Sage, his cultivation-rumored to be ONLY at the Heavenly Saint Phase, an-unbelievable speculation!

One of the foundations of this game was the fate of-Shang Wanqing, the Knightly Dao Pavilionʼs greatest-treasure that left many Sages with greedy hearts and-salivating tongues. In actuality, the majority of scholars-debated that the Knightly Dao Calamity was caused-threefold. The first was undeniably Shang Wanqingʼs-Catalyst Body, the second was the Continent of the First-Knightʼs Incomplete World Soul, and the third was-none other than the complex relationships of the Sages.

If these scholars didnʼt think the Sages were targeted-here, they would have failed to live up to their titles as-intellectuals! After all, all three of the Sages were-reportedly injured, nearly crippled. If not for the-foreigner who decided to interfere against the prophecy, a truly fearless being, the Knightly Dao-Calamity would have caused the undeniable destruction-of the Knightly Dao Pavilion on their most celebrated-day.

It would have been a tragedy.

However, seeing how this foreigner was uncaring of an-Alchemic Edict issued by the Seven Utmost Towers, his-casual dismissal of the prophecy was to be expected.

Was this the power of the Supreme Sage? They could-ignore the notion of so-called trends and fate?!

The open invitation was a three-player game from the-onset. There was the mysterious cultivator Su Yi, the-Dazzling Jewel Alchemic Saint, and the Neo-Dawn-Alchemic Saint. The Dazzling Jewel Alchemic Saint was-an unexpected addition, but she had issued a challenge-before the foreigner had even opened it to the public.

The conditions and wagers of the Mystics were yet to-be clearly defined, but as the list of those participating-announced, the explosion was only fueled by further-talks!

The Grand Seer Rippledark!

The Angelic Peach Alchemic Saint, Tianshi Ya!

The Inversetoxin Alchemic Saint, Guo Heng!

And lastly, and most shockingly, that wasnʼt expected-to be publicly known, was the participation of a Sage-from Shadow Veil!

Since a game of Mystics had a cut-off of seven players-within the Utmost Purity Galaxy, a galaxy-specific rule,-the Sage from Shadow Veil, the notorious assassin and-criminal racketeering organization had to publicly-announce their participation before the final slot was-taken! While they left out specific details, no one-challenged them for it.

However, this was already looking to be an exciting-game with far-reaching implications to the outsider-observer! Unbeknownst to them the game earlier that-had led to failure was pouring into the next!

The Neo-Dawn Alchemic Saint, rumored to be an Exalted Worldly Saint Alchemist and Supreme Sage! A-supremely tyrannical foreigner!

Su Yi, the mysterious cultivator with unprecedented-battle power, was rumored to have strong connections-with a Supreme Sage!

Dazzling Jewel Alchemic Saint, an Exalted Worldly-Alchemic Saint of the Growth Zone! Not only was she-an independent Alchemist apart from the Seven Utmost-Towers, but she was also the 7th Ranker of the Seven-Rising Heavens Alchemic Rankings!

The Grand Seer Rippledark was a Grand Seer from the-Seers of the Night! Just the illustrious title of ʼGrand-Seerʼ was enough to signify his extraordinary status-and might!

The Angelic Peach Alchemic Saint, Tianshi Ya, the 3rd-Ranker of the Seven Rising Heavens Alchemic Rankings, and 3rd Floor Tower Master of the Zenith-Creation Tower! Clearly, her participation had a lot to-do with the significant loss of face for the Zenith-Creation Tower after Wei Wuyinʼs two iconic one-liners-that few dared to utter to them!

The Inversetoxin Alchemic Saint, Guo Heng, 5th Ranker-of the Seven Rising Heavens Alchemic Rankings, and-4th Floor Tower Master of the Zenith Refinement-Tower!

And of course, the mysterious Sage from Shadow Veil!

With four Exalted Worldly Alchemic Saints, two Sage-level combatants, and a sinister Grand Seer, this-game of Mystics instantly garnered significant galactic-attention. Those aware of the intricate details of those-participating and how they all connected paid even-greater attention!

Only one question remained on everyoneʼs lips! With-such a galactic game about to occur, what was going to-be the wager? While Wei Wuyin and Su Yi had a rather-open wager of Shang Wanqingʼs freedom to decide on-her fate, a strange one that baffled quite a few-individuals, but considering she was a Catalyst Body-that had just been saved, including Wei Wuyinʼs calling-her ʼhisʼ, in the eyes of many, this was Su Yi and Wei-Wuyin fighting to possess her.

There were even stories circulating of Su Yi as the-mysterious gallivanting hero out to rescue Shang-Wanqing from the clutches of the foreigner with vile-intentions. Additionally, on the opposite end of the-spectrum, there were stories of Wei Wuyin defying fate-to ensure that his love was safe from calamity,-exhausting his cultivation base to overturn a prophecy.

Both were mighty tales for the youth.

The one thing that everyone knew: every loser at this-level of Mystics would be leaving behind several pounds-of their fatty flesh for the victor to enjoy!!

The three days agreed upon by Su Yi and Wei Wuyin-came and went across the galaxy like a roaring fire.

During these days, numerous Star Bridges penetrated-into the Armored Boon Stellar Region with tremendous-fanfare from all over, carrying characters that were-bound to be more legendary than the last!

The sight was wondrously astonishing to witness, a-celestial sign of prestigious characters and

extraordinary wealth!

At the edge of the Armored Boon Stellar Region, a-magnificent silver palace was affixed atop a tiny-sized-continent, floating naturally in the Dark Void. There-was a lone figure dressed in black martial artist attire-draped over silver alchemical robes, a unique mixture-and design completely foreign to the Utmost Purity-Galaxy, standing on a balcony overlooking the starry-vastness with a pair of starry eyes.

Wei Wuyinʼs Alchemic Stars of Transcendent Purity-glinted with great fervor as his hands clenched against-the railing. Why exactly?

The weak and recovering Bai Xiu, left in this state after-concocting three of the four transcendent-quality-Mystic-Rank products, was brimming with strange-dazed energy as she watched the stars, sitting on his-left shoulder.

”Itʼs coming! I feel it, Master!”

Earlier, outside the Utmost Purity Galaxy, Bai Xiu had,-in a strange stupor, mentioned very vaguely that they-were approaching something. The closer they got to the-Utmost Purity Galaxy, the greater that feeling was-stirred.

Unfortunately, Wei Wuyin didnʼt have time to search-for the cause of that feeling from her, especially given-how expansive the galaxy was, and how his status as a-foreigner meant his every move was going to be watched. If he suddenly vanished, there was no telling-the amount of Sages, Enlightened Sages, and Supreme-Sages that would be on the rampant search for him.

As a foreigner, especially one who had conquered three-galaxies prior, he couldnʼt simply vanish.

However, now there was no longer a need to take the-risk. Whatever Bai Xiu felt…was coming here! Coming-closer!
