Chapter 1057 - 964: All Causes Lead to the Grey Mist Sea
True Ancestor World.
News that the Sacrificial Temple was intimidated into staying indoors spread throughout the world.
This shocked everyone.
“Nine Laws Protector, so formidable!”
“Invincible, even the Sacrificial Temple has shut its doors, I heard that Ning Tianji just stepped out, but upon hearing the name Wu Jianghe, he fled immediately!”
“After all, Warrior Wu Jianghe, the strongest in the True Ancestor World!”
Many were shocked, even more excited; Wu Jianghe’s fame was at its peak, once again commanding respect and even hailed as the strongest of the Nine Laws!
“Hmm, the Nine Laws Protector is so strong, I wonder if anything unexpected will happen…”
Some strong individuals who originally planned to meet the Great Lord of the Grey Mist Sea hesitated.
“Haha, need we waiver, I admit, we’re no match for Wu Jianghe, but, even as strong as Wu Jianghe is, can one man withstand the Grey Mist Sea?”
“That makes sense, going to meet him now will show our loyalty even more!”
However, ultimately many Sect Gates, like the World-Stabilizing Pavilion, still proceeded to the Grey Mist Sea.
…
At this moment.
Powu Continent.
In just a few days, all living beings here, except those who had surrendered and kneeled, had been killed.
The massive city at the very heart of Powu Continent—Fogbreak City.
The Mist Throne of the Temporal Hall Master stood above this huge city.
From atop the throne, the Temporal Hall Master’s lips curled into a cold smile.
“Nine Laws Protector? Ultimate Asura? Interesting.”
He was aware of the incidents involving Ji Wudan and others intimidating the Sacrificial Temple.
But, he didn’t care, nor was it worth his intervention.
“The Nine Laws Protector must be related to Big Black Dog and Xuan Wu…”
He murmured.
“As long as I am here, you all can only jump into my grand scheme!”
He was calm, believing that this time, neither Big Black Dog nor Xuan Wu had a choice, for they couldn’t just sit back and watch him destroy the entire True Ancestor World.
Sooner or later they’d have to come out!
Thus, he was not in a hurry.
Pondering, his gaze landed on the city walls.
The name of Fogbreak City had been changed to “Kneel Mist City.”
As the name suggests, the Temporal Hall Master would receive the kneelings of the entire True Ancestor World here.
This would entirely cleanse the disgrace of eons past.
It would also comfort those Grey Mist pioneers who died at the hands of the End of Myriad Paths and the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones.
For the Temporal Hall Master, only this would count as a complete victory.
Soon, various forces had arrived.
“Sky Spirit Continent’s Tianling Sect, here to meet the distinguished guest of the Grey Mist Sea!”
Voices called out.
“Three hundred sects of Wind Fire Continent’s Wind Fire Sect level, specially here to meet!”
“The Lu Family and Zhao Family from the Vast Wild Continent, along with thin presents for the great lord of the Grey Mist Sea, a Nine Laws Explanation, three thousand beauties, and ten thousand top-quality Origin Stones!”
Forces converged from all directions.
“Everyone dismount, we must kneel as we approach, this way we can show our sincerity to the great lord of the Grey Mist Sea!”
One of the Nine Eternal Ancient Clans, the Jiang Family, just arrived thousands of li outside Fogbreak City, all dismounted, with the family head Jiang Fubai personally leading, knocking his head on the ground as he knelt and moved forward.
“I mean, do we really need to be this dramatic?”
Upon seeing this, the Dugu Family was shocked, then immediately said:
“Quick, we must also move forward on our knees!”
Other families: “…”
Suddenly, outside today’s “Kneel Mist City,” a spectacle unseen for a millennium unfolded.
The highest powers were ironically the most humble, all moving forward on their knees.
With the major families leading, other forces followed suit, all kneeling.
Previously, “Fogbreak City” was one of the sanctuaries of the True Ancestor World, a place where countless people came to pay homage to the Ten Honored Spirits. Yet, no one ever approached from a thousand li away on their knees.
Now, transformed into “Kneel Mist City,” it unexpectedly inspired people to compete in their kneeling, showing utmost piety.
Three strong individuals from the World-Stabilizing Pavilion, Jin Bifeng, Han Ruwei, and Ling Qishan, also arrived.
The three were carrying a huge Alchemy Furnace together.
—Days ago, they had thrown Yu Lingxue into the Alchemy Furnace at first to refine the origin factors.
They still hadn’t opened the furnace yet.
Because opening it in front of the great lord of the Grey Mist Sea would ensure that the origin factors did not dissipate and were preserved in their best condition.
…
What was originally a snap of the fingers away, the populace was made to kneel for a whole day and night, only reaching Kneel Mist City by midday the next.
“Greetings to the great lord of the Grey Mist Sea!”
The Jiang Family, with family head Jiang Fubai extremely excited, his face covered in mud, bowed toward Kneel Mist City.
“Greetings to the great lord of the Grey Mist Sea!”
The scene erupted in unanimous calls.
All forces had arrived.
“Kneel Mist City,” a thousand zhang up in the sky, at the edge of the white clouds.
The Grey Mist rolled in, forming a magnificent throne.
Atop the throne, the Temporal Hall Master sat serenely.
He gazed down at the denizens of Kneel Mist City in the True Ancestor World, his eyes revealing a hint of mockery.
Is this the world that you, the guardian of the End of Myriad Paths, protect?
Is this the people that the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones fought for?
When you all had already perished, they knelt before the Mist Throne without hesitation!
Ridiculous.
He leisurely said:
“The Grey Mist is coming, and the heresy of the White Mist shall eventually vanish.”
“You all, would you like to abandon the dark and worship the Grey Mist?”
Below, countless forces shouted:
“We are willing!”
“We are willing!”
Without a hint of hesitation!
The Temporal Hall Master nodded and said,
“Good, I give you a chance.”
With a wave of his hand, thirteen steles suddenly appeared in front of the crowd!
On the steles, different texts were written.
The End of Myriad Paths, Sound Venerate, Chess Honored, Martial Honor…
“These thirteen steles, taken from the Sacrificial Temple in the True Ancestor World, are the plaques of The End of Myriad Paths and the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones. Since you are willing to follow me, the Misty Great Path, why not forsake them?!”
The Temporal Hall Master spoke indifferently.
In the True Ancestor World, The End of Myriad Paths and the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones were also worshipped and sacrificed to.
This time, he had deliberately brought the worshipped plaques to sight.
He wanted these people to forsake The End of Myriad Paths and the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones.
Only in this way could he be satisfied!
Immediately, the Sacrificial Temple, the World-Stabilizing Pavilion, various major families, and others were all moved.
“Reporting to the master… The End of Myriad Paths and the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones, if insulted, may incur karma that no one can bear…”
At that moment, someone suddenly spoke up with trepidation.
Upon hearing this, others also showed a hint of fear on their faces, hesitating somewhat.
Although they did not consider The End of Myriad Paths and the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones as benefactors or ancestors on ordinary days, they understood that these were people with great karma.
If insulted casually, even though they were all deceased, it could still lead to unimaginable consequences.
However, atop the throne, the Temporal Hall Master coldly said:
“Heh, karma?”
“Talking about karma with a bunch of dead people?!”
“If there is any karma, just let it count towards our Grey Mist Sea, all kinds of karma shall return to us!”
He was full of disdain!
But as he spoke these words, it seemed that some indescribable power was at work in the shadows.
“Hm?”
The Temporal Hall Master suddenly frowned slightly, feeling an ominous premonition from his own words…
At that moment, hidden in the void, a white-haired elder was shocked and muttered:
“Just now, why did I feel the movement and transfer of karma…”
He looked somewhat baffledly at the Temporal Hall Master and said:
“This fool, at this level, still dares to speak recklessly… The karma he has invited for the Grey Mist Sea… even True Ancestors might not bear it.”
“If something big really happens to the Grey Mist Sea later… it’s mostly because of today, this dumbass couldn’t keep his mouth shut!”
He was the Heavenly Master Ancestor, covered in white hair, extremely sensitive to these matters.
Therefore, he clearly felt that because of the Temporal Hall Master’s words just now.
He truly transferred the vast karma of the Sacrificial Temple, major families, World-Stabilizing Pavilion, and other forces… to the Grey Mist Sea!
This was seriously inviting death…
Yet the Temporal Hall Master was only confused for a moment, not thinking too much, and looked indifferently below, saying:
“Spit on them quickly, or else, die!”
This was an order!
“Never mind, with the Grey Mist Sea behind us, any karma is but nonsense!”
“Yes, the Grey Mist Sea can suppress everything!”
“Just denouncing the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones, what of it?”
The crowd stood up one by one.
They walked forward.
“Ptui!”
“Ptuh!”
“Criminals, if it weren’t for your obstruction, we would have already been with the Grey Mist Sea.”
They did not hesitate, spitting on the plaques of The End of Myriad Paths and the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones!
Jiang Fubai of the Jiang Family forcefully spat a clump of phlegm, splashing it on the plaque of Barbarian Honor.
Family head Dugu Xun Yuan of the Dugu Clan mercilessly spat on the plaque of Sword Venerable.
…
Their expressions were cold and merciless!
…
Atop the Mist Throne.
As the Myriad Dao’s End and the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones were being cursed by the people, he increasingly felt an uneasy feeling in his heart.
As if sitting on pins and needles.
“Could there really be some karma?”
He clearly felt, the more the people cursed, the more his heart palpitated.
This made him… somewhat regretful.
The words he spoke earlier… could they really come true?
Had the karma transferred to the Grey Mist Sea??
However, he thought again, even if there really was karma, it had been transferred to the Grey Mist Sea.
And not to him, the Temporal Hall Master, so it didn’t matter much.
Taking a deep breath to adjust his mood, he sneered and whispered:
“Heh, Xiao Huang, Xuan Wu, can you just watch?”
He had an important purpose for doing this.
To provoke Big Black Dog and Xuan Wu!
In the Grey Mist Sea, after sacrificing many Four Sights powerhouses and ten dominators, the only useful news was that Big Black Dog and Xuan Wu were still alive, right in the True Ancestor World.
To annihilate the True Ancestor World, it was necessary to lure them out and kill them.
So, he had designed this segment.
He was confident that as long as Xuan Wu and Big Black Dog showed up, they would undoubtedly die.
Because the Destiny Pen, Pale Scroll, Origin-Devouring Poisonous Insect… were all waiting in the dark!
