Chapter 140: Chapter 105: A Grand Dream Shifting Amid Illusions, Divinity Imprisons the Demon Sword

Below this stone monument is an abyss of ten thousand feet.

On the cliff, there are hundreds of chains leading down into the mist, and on these chains, there are countless people striving to climb up.

From time to time, someone would fall from the chains, plunging into the abyss below, dying without a place to be buried.

If someone reaches the monument, they will immediately bow their head to a Martial Saint statue and then look up at the monument with reverence.

In this world, there are four mountains, universally acknowledged as the highest peaks by the people.

The first is Northern Xunmi Mountain, towering at eighteen thousand zhang, serving as a natural barrier between the Northern Plains and Central Domain, reaching the clouds, piercing the heavens, a true pillar of the sky.

The second is Freedom Mountain, the place where scholars are taught, emerging from the peach grove, representing the pinnacle of worldly knowledge.

The third is Void Mountain, the place where the Sword Saint passed on, with Ta’e, one of the three legendary swords, now embedded beside the Sword Saint’s remains, symbolizing the pinnacle of Sword Dao.

And the fourth is Tai Mountain.

The Martial Saint Pavilion is here, surrounded by cliffs, marking the end of Martial Dao.

The Martial Saint who ruled an era erected a "Dao Transmission Stele" here.

"Anyone who comes up the mountain can inherit my true teachings and witness the end of Martial Dao."

On this monument, there remains a trace of the Martial Saint’s Dao Rhyme!

He placed this monument before the Martial Saint Pavilion for all who can ascend the mountain to ponder, which is equivalent to publicly sharing his learning with everyone.

If one can comprehend even a little, it is an enormous blessing.

Thus, even though hope is dim, there are still countless people who push forward one after another.

And most who understand the Dao Rhyme within later voluntarily join the Martial Saint Pavilion, becoming members. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

In their hearts, this place is the supreme temple of Martial Dao, possessing an inviolable sacred status!

However at this moment, the usually solemn and quiet Martial Saint Pavilion is abnormally noisy.

"How is this possible... just to kill a cultivator without even reaching Innate, and three Moon Embrace Realm went out, yet two were killed and one injured?!"

The Pavilion Master of the Martial Saint Pavilion is not the Martial Saint himself but is known as "Wen Zhongwu Ao," Grandmaster Wen Hongsheng.

Upon hearing such absurd news, Wen Hongsheng’s years of cultivation on keeping a serene demeanor were immediately broken.

He showed a shocked expression, abruptly standing up from his seat, looking at the subordinate who came to report.

They are not like marginal organizations like Canglang Review but are direct participants, clearly knowing Chen Kuang’s true cultivation level.

But precisely because of this, he is so surprised.

An Enlightenment Realm cultivator, previously relying on Huo Hengxuan’s full efforts to forcibly boost cultivation and killed Hong Ling.

But now, Huo Hengxuan is dead, this person should have lost his backing, returning to an ordinary Enlightenment Realm level.

Yet, the result seems to be increasingly outrageous, going beyond reason?!

Those were three genuine Moon Embrace Realm, each with solid cultivation, not those waste forcibly upgraded using Elixir.

Now they’re slain in turn by a loose cultivator of Enlightenment Realm, is there still any reason in this world?!

Wen Hongsheng momentarily doubted life.

He has cultivated for so many years and never witnessed such absurdities!

The subordinate cautiously said: "Pavilion Master... new information, Chen Kuang is not in the Enlightenment Realm but is in the Tower Ascension Realm."

Wen Hongsheng took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and with a dark face said:

"What’s the difference? Whether Enlightenment or Tower Ascension Realm, cannot possibly kill Moon Embrace Realm, let alone two!"

Something that seemed absolutely certain unexpectedly underwent such ludicrous reversal...

The entire two Moon Embrace Realms ended up dying on the path to assassinate a mere figure.

This is a significant loss for the Martial Saint Pavilion!

The subordinate asked: "Should we continue with the bounty now?"

Wen Hongsheng said deeply: "Continue, increase the bounty! Raise it directly to the Moon Embrace Realm level! Someone will assist us!"

His gaze was gloomy, leaving the second half unsaid.

Especially those Evil Cultivators...

Wen Hongsheng still did not believe that solely relying on Chen Kuang himself, could reverse kill three Moon Embrace Realm.

He should hardly even escape alive!

"Absolutely, absolutely someone is helping him!"

Wen Hongsheng was firm in his belief: "But unsure, ultimately which old acquaintance... However, it doesn’t matter anymore, no matter how outrageous he is, he cannot possibly survive under Martial Saint."

He pondered for a moment and said: "Chen Kuang colluding with the great demon, potentially consumed a Demon Core, fell into the evil path of Half-Demon, if so, he indeed barely did this."

"But he should also be backfired by the Demon Core, severely wounded."

"Martial Saint Pavilion will temporarily not act, let’s increase the bounty on the basis of Moon Embrace Realm by two times and observe the situation."

The subordinate nodded: "Yes!"

Wen Hongsheng took a deep breath: "Is the Invitation Incense prepared?"

The subordinate replied: "It’s ready, would you like to start it now?"

Wen Hongsheng nodded and said: "Let’s go, the suitable candidate is found."

"Though Martial Saint himself cannot emerge yet, he can descend upon another... especially a fitting vessel."

Wen Hongsheng came to the window and pushed it open.

Below, a person climbed up along the chain from the abyss, astonishingly a simple youth with dark skin, wearing a green headscarf, with a mere Enlightenment Realm aura.

This youth looked forward at the wordless monument, overjoyed, bowing his head in front of the stone monument.

Wen Hongsheng pointed distantly at this youth: "This one, just right, invite him over."

...

"Brother Chen, it’s good to finally meet you."

"If you hadn’t come, I would have set off."

Chen Kuang pushed open the door to see Qi Sibai greeting him with folded hands.

Chen Kuang returned the gesture, realizing he seemed all packed up, raised an eyebrow: "In such a hurry?"

Qi Sibai’s face was stern and said: "Received news, King of Zhou and Qi was defeated in Xunmi Mountain, captured by the Night Barbarians, breaking the Northern Defense Line..."

"Now the Night Barbarian army is mustering, heading towards the Central Plains, various sects are summoning cultivators to resist foreign invasion, urgency is paramount, our Observatory is also among them."

Chen Kuang looked at Zhou Yanwei: "King of Qi... your elder brother?"

Zhou Yanwei nodded.

Chen Kuang glanced at his expression, wanting to say here without outsiders, all brothers, feel free to laugh aloud...

But considering the atmosphere isn’t appropriate now, he refrained from speaking.
