Chapter 1010 - 917 Crossing the Grey Mist Sea
Quickly.
Ji Wuming and others appeared before the Heavenly Abyss.
“Is this the bridge obtained in exchange for the bones of those six individuals?”
Seeing the light bridge spanning two worlds within the Heavenly Abyss, Ning Yuanjue couldn’t hide his contempt, saying,
“A bunch of dead bodies, daring to be arrogant, now aren’t they just silent and defenseless, trampled upon by others?!”
He harbored resentment against those six Supreme ones… who filled the Heavenly Abyss with their bones.
Because their ancestor, Ning Tianji…
Had been beaten up several times in a row!
“It’s unnecessary to fuss over a bunch of dead people.”
Wu Jianghan, however, smiled and said,
“The Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones are merely a group of laughable individuals.”
“Back in their day, they clearly had the chance to align with the Grey Mist Sea, yet they stubbornly viewed sacrifice as a form of honor. It’s nothing more than self-consolation. Who among future generations will remember them?”
At that moment, Ji Wuming suddenly looked up and said,
“They’re here!”
Instantly, everyone’s attention was drawn.
They saw a procession of Ash Mist Creatures walking along the light bridge!
They took on human forms, around a dozen of them. At a glance, the youths were striking, the women graceful and the men exceptionally handsome.
These Ash Mist Creatures, originally with greyish skin, had now applied rouge and powder, dressing indistinguishably from the people of the True Ancestor World, dazzlingly adorned.
“Greetings, friends of the Grey Mist!”
“Greetings, friends of the Grey Mist!”
Immediately, Ji Wuming and the others bowed deeply in salute!
Atop the light bridge, a line of Ash Mist Creatures descended as if treading on flat ground.
The one leading was a young master dressed in azure, who smiled faintly and asked,
“Are you the people of the Nine Eternal Ancient Clans?”
Ji Wuming stepped forward and replied, “Reporting to the Young Master, indeed we are! I am Ji Wuming of the Ji Clan, and these two are Wu Jianghan of the Martial Clan and Ning Yuanjue of the Ning Clan.”
Wu Jianghan and Ning Yuanjue also stepped forward to bow immediately.
They had already perceived that the strongest among this group of Ash Mist Creatures was merely at the Spirit King Realm and had not undergone Gate Opening.
—Currently, the Heavenly Abyss could only accommodate beings of this level to pass through.
Yet, even so, they bowed deeply with utmost respect before these youths from the Grey Mist Sea, who would be esteemed as luminaries in the True Ancestor World.
“The Nine Eternal Ancient Clans are indeed people of their word,” said the young master in azure, smiling.
“Over in the Grey Mist Sea, we’ve already been seeking suitable habitats for your families. Once the Heavenly Abyss is fully reconnected, your families can all relocate to the Grey Mist Sea. You will surely be satisfied.”
Hearing this, Ji Wuming and the others were even more thrilled!
“Right, my name is Qi Fenglin, and these are my companions.”
“Qing Shenglan, she is the Spirit King of the Chaos Demon Grass Clan.”
As Qi Fenglin introduced her, a woman in a blue dress stepped forward with an elegant smile.
“Shi Xin, the most outstanding rising star from the Great Brahma Temple of Chaos. His name of compassion is known to all throughout the Grey Mist Sea.”
Another young monk in a gray kasaya also stepped forward. His face wore a faint smile, as if very genial.
“The rest here are the elite of our various powerful clans,” Qi Fenglin finished introducing.
“Ladies and gentlemen, truly like beings from the heavens, you have broadened our horizons. In the True Ancestor World, where else could we find such naturally gifted talents as yourselves.”
Ji Wuming spoke obsequiously,
“Please follow us past the Wall of Corpses and into the True Ancestor World!”
Instantly, the ceremonial guard was in order, and the music resounded, reaching a pinnacle of solemnity.
Before long, they arrived at the Wall of Corpses.
“This wall…”
Qing Shenglan looked at the Wall of Corpses, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, and said,
“I feel the body of one of our ancestors… It lies buried here.”
The monk, Shi Xin, also shook his head, saying,
“The woman at The End of Myriad Paths is too cruel and bloodthirsty. How could she bear to kill so many extraordinary beings? Her sins are monstrous.”
On both sides of the wall, guards stood. Hearing this, one couldn’t help but roar in anger,
“What did you say?!”
That soldier drew his sword at once, staring at Shi Xin, and said,
“How dare you insult the heroes of our True Ancestor World in this place?!”
Shi Xin remained unfazed, his face breaking into a slight smile as he said,
“It’s not an insult; the little monk is simply stating a fact. The one at The End of Myriad Paths, for all her cultivation, is so narrow-minded and petty. At best, she’s nothing more than a powerful villain!”
The surrounding soldiers could no longer restrain themselves, and a leader drew his sword and said coldly,
“Do you really think you can run wild here?!”
This leader was one of Chen Family’s Eighteen Swords, Chen Feng!
“Get back.”
At this moment, Ji Wuming, the Gate Opener of the Ji Clan, spoke with a cold voice,
“Daring to draw your sword before honored guests, are you seeking death?”
“You have destroyed the great peace plan between the Grey Mist Sea and the True Ancestor World, you deserve a thousand deaths!”
Chen Feng said in a deep voice,
“Senior Ji, you’re from the True Ancestor World, too, having benefited from the grace of the one at the End of Myriad Paths. These people from the Grey Mist Sea, they even dare to speak insults… who is destroying the peace?”
Ji Wuming said coldly,
“As for the one at the End of Myriad Paths, different people hold different views. Master Shi Xin just sees things from another angle, it’s not about insults.”
“Put away your sword, or I’ll make sure you die without a place to be buried!”
His cultivation level as a Gate Opener was faintly released!
Chen Feng’s expression changed, but he gripped the sword tightly, stirring up his will to fight.
“Chen Feng, put away your sword,”
At that moment, Chi Tiangang’s words, however, came through faintly.
He had arrived at the scene unnoticed.
“General…”
Chen Feng was unwilling.
“They’re just a few jumping clowns; killing them would only dirty your sword,”
Chi Tiangang spoke indifferently.
Hearing this, Ji Wuming, looking icy cold towards Chi Tiangang, said,
“Who are you calling jumping clowns? How dare you disrespect the esteemed guests of the Grey Mist Sea!”
Chi Tiangang’s eyes were cold as he replied,
“You’re wrong.”
“The jumping clowns I mentioned are you people.”
“The ones from the Grey Mist Sea? They are nothing but pigs and dogs awaiting slaughter!”
Upon hearing this, Ji Wuming, Ning Yuanjue, and others were immediately enraged and said,
“Chi Tiangang, how dare you be so reckless?!”
“Do you have a death wish?!”
They all demanded to know.
But, Chi Tiangang just replied coldly, “Tuck your tails and scram. If you dare utter another word, I’ll make sure you won’t leave the Great Wall!”
A thread of his energy was imperceptibly released.
Immediately, the complexions of Ji Wuming and the other two greatly changed!
“Chi Tiangang… has become an Ultimate Being?!”
“Impossible…”
“How could he be an Ultimate Being…”
The expressions on their faces were extremely ugly.
All along, Chi Tiangang had only been about to embark on the Ascendant Path.
But now…
They dared not say anything more. Facing an Ultimate Being… unless the elders of their clans arrived, they had no right to speak.
“Master Qi, please!”
Ji Wuming spoke softly, urging Qi Fenglin and the others to quickly pass through the Great Wall.
As they were leaving, Qi Fenglin suddenly gave a slight smile, looked towards Chi Tiangang, and said,
“Senior is very strong.”
“But of the Ascendants, in just my Sect Gate… there are no fewer than three hundred.”
After saying that, he left.
…
People from the Nine Great Ancient Clans had already escorted the guests from the Grey Mist Sea away.
“I really want to draw my sword and kill these enemies!”
“The people of the Nine Great Ancient Clans are actually protecting the enemy… traitors to their own world!”
“Hateful, so hateful!”
Chen Feng and the others were gnashing their teeth in anger.
While Chi Tiangang was pondering and said,
“Ascendants… just one Sect Gate has three hundred?”
There was an unprecedented seriousness on his old face.
“General, maybe it’s just that brat exaggerating to disturb our morale!”
Chen Xiaoming spoke up.
Chi Tiangang shook his head and said,
“Not necessarily…”
“The young generations from the Grey Mist Sea who have come over these years, not old yet already at the perfect Spirit King Realm, nearing Gate Opening… and among the younger generation of the entire True Ancestor World, is there anyone who can match them?”
Chen Xiaoran fell silent.
He understood the General’s point.
If one was to infer the larger picture from a small sample.
If the young warriors from the Grey Mist Sea were this powerful, how formidable must the older generation be?
“The Grey Mist Sea… might truly far exceed our imagination.”
“This era is even more brutal.”
…
