Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209: Burdened with a Blood-Soaked Vendetta

Originally, in Mu Qing’s heart—

The Lord of Blissful Wish inside the red palanquin spoke so softly, so he should also be a person.

Even if he wasn’t a normal person, he should at least be a skeleton, more or less the same as the many skeletons in Bliss City.

However.

What shocked her was that—

Inside the red palanquin, there wasn’t a single person.

There was only a mass of extremely disgusting flesh.

The red palanquin contained a world of its own, so this mass of flesh was enormous, a full several dozen zhang in size.

This mass of flesh seemed to be rotten meat, ceaselessly writhing, with many eyeballs growing upon it.

In every eyeball, a human silhouette seemed to appear.

On that nauseating rotten meat, besides countless eyeballs, there were innumerable arms, different arms crisscrossing one another, their palms forming hand seals.

The hand seals were all different.

This lump of rotten flesh was not entirely red; part of it was black, part of it white.

It gave people an extremely bizarre feeling.

”Ugh...”

Mu Qing withdrew her gaze, covered her mouth with her hand, and let out a dry retching sound.

It was simply too disgusting.

Just what kind of monster was this Lord of Blissful Wish?

Even more terrifying than demons and devils.

It was hard to imagine that the gentle voice from before had actually come from such a mass of rotten flesh.

”How is it?”

Ye Yun chuckled lightly and patted Mu Qing on the back.

”Master, it’s really too frightening, and too nauseating. What the hell is that thing!”

With that pat from her master, Mu Qing’s nausea vanished. She lowered her head, still shaken, and asked.

”It’s hard to define what that thing is. It’s absorbed so much blood and flesh of Cultivators, even their souls, and there are all kinds of special energies mixed inside it—if you ask me, this Lord of Blissful Wish already counts as a kind of conglomerate...”

Ye Yun smiled faintly.

No matter how terrifying or disgusting this Lord of Blissful Wish was, it would not affect Ye Yun’s steadfast Dao Heart.

”Master, something this disgusting, you have to destroy it...”

Mu Qing said solemnly.

”Rest easy. Things like this, like ghosts and fiends, so perverse, there’s no need to let it remain!”

Ye Yun nodded as he spoke.

After speaking, Ye Yun looked around again, his gaze flickering, as if he had made some new discovery.

Mu Qing, head lowered and still shaken, did not notice Ye Yun’s movement.

On Bliss Square.

One Cultivator after another walked to the side of the red palanquin, received the Lord of Blissful Wish’s initiation, and all obtained longevity.

In the blink of an eye, more than half the people were done.

All the Cultivators sought only one thing—immortality.

Immortality, compared to any miraculous pills or heavenly materials and earthly treasures, was simply too important.

Moreover, these Cultivators were not fools. After receiving the Lord of Blissful Wish’s initiation, all they had to do was casually stretch out a hand, and ripples would appear in the void, from which they could pull out a God-tiered Sword.

More than that.

Some people even pulled out some legendary miraculous pills.

These things, invisibly, strengthened the conviction in everyone’s hearts.

Bliss City—

Was not just a place of immortality.

It was also a place where wishes came true.

This place was simply where the so-called ”gods” lived in legend.

...

People continued to undergo initiation, then left in high spirits.

Many people entered the streets, received guidance from some others, and only then learned that the power to have their wishes fulfilled, as well as immortality—both required staying in Bliss City.

No one minded.

In a place this good, they wouldn’t leave even if they were driven away.

The number of people on Bliss Square kept dropping, and it was about to be Nangong Liuyun’s turn.

”Elder Sister, are you really going?”

Luo Li seemed lost in thought, an impulse surging up in her heart; she really wanted to persuade Nangong Liuyun not to go.

Although she couldn’t find anything wrong with Bliss City, she still felt something was off.

”Younger Sister, I came into the Spirit Abyss Ghost River with requests in my heart. Now that I’ve come this far, how could I not go to make a wish and receive initiation?”

Nangong Liuyun sighed softly.

As for immortality, she also deeply longed for it, but that was not what mattered.

She bore the blood-deep hatred of the Nangong family.

If she were to eke out an existence in Bliss City and not seek vengeance, her conscience would hound her for the rest of her life.

Luo Li blinked, thought for a moment, and asked, ”Elder Sister, that treasure of your family—compared to immortality and a God-tiered Sword, is it really more important?”

”It’s very important! Younger Sister, I want to retrieve the Ancient Demon Violin; only then can I use this instrument to drive the Ancient Giant Demon in the Ancient Demon Abyss, and thus avenge the blood-deep hatred of my Nangong family!”

Nangong Liuyun spoke slowly, her jade hands clenched, veins bulging, her beautiful eyes filled with bitter hatred.

”So Elder Sister bears a blood-deep hatred...”

Luo Li was slightly taken aback.

As for this so-called Ancient Demon Abyss and Ancient Giant Demon, she had never heard of them; but... they sounded very formidable.

”Elder Sister, just what kind of power is your Nangong family’s enemy, that you actually need the Ancient Demon Violin to drive an Ancient Giant Demon?”

Luo Li’s heart stirred, and she asked in a low voice.

”A Heavenly Level Power!”

Nangong Liuyun gazed into the distance and spoke in a deep voice.

A Heavenly Level Power!

Upon hearing this, Luo Li was somewhat stunned as well.

From the Ancient Moon Dynasty all the way to the Red Sky Dynasty, Luo Li had seen all sorts of powers.

However, the highest she had personally come into contact with so far were only Super Sects.

If she set aside her own powerful backing—

Just speaking of Super Sects alone, they were already extremely formidable in Luo Li’s eyes.

If it was an even more powerful Heavenly Level Power, that would be all the more terrifying.

Heavenly Level Power—

Since it was called ”Heaven,” it was as mighty as the vast firmament itself!

Powers like Super Sects were as fragile as ants before a Heavenly Level Power.

Luo Li looked at Nangong Liuyun.

This Nangong Elder Sister with such a tragic background was only at the Peak of ten layers of life-death realm, a Half-Step Eternity Realm in strength.

With such strength, she indeed could not contend with a Heavenly Level Power.

A Heavenly Level Power must have at least one Eternal Realm Strong Person.

And not just one.

Heavenly Level was powerful precisely because it had no grades.

Unlike Super Sects, which were divided into Superior, Medium grade, and Inferior Supremes.

The Heaven Level and Eternal Sect had no such classification.

Heaven Level was Heaven Level.

Eternal Level was Eternal Level.

It was precisely because there were no grade divisions that one could more clearly feel that a Sky-Level Sect was like the mighty heavens, high above, overlooking all living beings.

”...”

Luo Li’s lips moved; the words that suddenly rose in her heart were forcibly swallowed back down.

Even though she had backing, right now she was only out tempering herself, and absolutely could not lightly make use of her background.

Up to this moment.

Because Luo Li and Nangong Liuyun had not left Bliss Square, they still did not know that after receiving the Lord of Blissful Wish’s initiation, once they left Bliss City, everything they had obtained would be lost.

”Younger Sister, it’s my turn.”

On Bliss Square, only Luo Li and Nangong Liuyun remained.

Nangong Liuyun gently patted Luo Li’s shoulder, then strode forward toward that red palanquin.

In the dazzling sunlight.

Nangong Liuyun walked with firm, composed steps, an unusual light in her eyes.

”I, Nangong Liuyun, must receive the Lord of Blissful Wish’s initiation!”

”Then I’ll be able to pull the Ancient Demon Violin from the Void Ripple...”

”With the Ancient Demon Violin, I can drive the Ancient Giant Demon and avenge the slain Clan Members of the Nangong family!”

A chain of thoughts surged up in Nangong Liuyun’s excited heart.

Thinking this, she walked to the side of the red palanquin.

Once again, she knelt.

She pressed her palms together devoutly, her face sacred, and murmured softly, ”I ask only for the Ancient Demon Violin—only this single wish.”
