Chapter 1484: Heaven Slaying Alliance is silent? The leader of the Heavenly organization
Chu Gucheng’s plan was straightforward: if someone were scheming behind the scenes, he would identify them and crush their plans with force. Given Xian Chu’s current strength, he was not afraid of any ghosts or snakes lurking in the shadows. His only concern was that this situation might not be the result of a malicious plot, but rather a calamity determined by fate—one that Xian Chu had to endure.
The Dharma Sage nodded in agreement, saying, “As your master, I understand this well. Since Chu Bai is also a person of great fortune, he must experience challenges similar to what you faced in your youth. Twists and turns, along with troubles, are unavoidable.”
“However, as long as these disasters and challenges are resolved, he will undoubtedly become a general of Xian Chu in the future.”
When this topic arose, Chu Gucheng couldn’t help but laugh, reminiscing about his own youth. He pondered whether it was simply a result of his luck; individuals blessed with great fortune often encountered difficulties. Although he could consistently turn misfortune into good luck, his propensity for attracting trouble should not be underestimated.
“What you say is very true, Master. Chu Bai got into trouble because of that bow,” Chu Gucheng remarked. “For him, this situation is a blend of opportunity and danger. This person is also quite clever; he is worried that I will seize the chance to take possession of his divine bow. As a result, he deliberately manipulates the bow while under the watchful eyes of various forces, setting them against each other. The three quasi-immortal emperors of the Demon Court also want him to lose face and miss out on his opportunity.”
Chu Gucheng shook his head slightly, his eyes reflecting the depth and wisdom of someone who has seen through much of the world’s intricacies. He had witnessed many similar situations. The heavenly generals of Xian Chu—be they divine generals, warrior generals, or divine war generals—were all individuals of great fortune whom he had observed closely. If he were to snatch and seize the treasures belonging to those with great luck, how could he expect their loyal submission?
“Haha, this kid is smart, but he lacks a broader perspective,” the Dharma Sage responded with a smile, clearly accustomed to such situations.
How could Chu Bai’s cleverness and cunning escape the notice of an ancient figure like him, who had lived for so long? His divine bow was indeed miraculous, but how could the majestic and dignified Lord of the Great Land of Xian Chu lack the courage to match it?
“By the way, the Heaven-Slaying Alliance you mentioned—has there been no movement from them recently?” The Dharma Sage seemed to recall another matter, prompting him to ask again.
Upon hearing this, Chu Gucheng wore a puzzled expression and shook his head. “I initially thought the Heaven-Slaying Alliance would infiltrate the Xi Yuan civilization. I specifically instructed many ministers to pay close attention to this matter. However, I later realized that the Heaven-Slaying Alliance is still only spreading in the areas near the immortal civilization and has no apparent intention of infiltrating Xi Yuan.”
The Dharma Sage, contemplating this information, guessed, “If the Heaven-Slaying Alliance is indeed connected to the remnants of the black disaster that you were worried about before, then it would be unlikely for them not to have any designs on the Xi Yuan civilization. But based on what you’ve said, it seems the Heaven-Slaying Alliance is using the name of ‘Heaven-Slaying’ to attract other forces from the Boundless World to join them…”
The methods of the remnants of the black disaster were not gentle; they often heralded destruction and calamity, bringing boundless darkness, bloodshed, and fire.
Although Chu Gucheng had never personally experienced the era when the black disaster ravaged the entire Boundless World, he had learned about it through ancient records. The Dharma Sage, having lived even longer, possessed a deeper understanding of this matter and a greater fear of it.
The so-called black disaster was actually a manifestation of dark luck; this was merely the term used for this catastrophe in the outside world. As disasters swept across the land, they brought with them endless darkness and war.
The common people wept blood, the universe crumbled, order fell into chaos, the sky was no longer the sky, the earth no longer the earth, day and night were lost forever, and the heavens perished. Despite his power and ancient wisdom, the Dharma Sage could only feel deep fear toward this reality.
In the oldest times, before the conception of some supreme civilizations, there existed an organization known as the Heavenly Organization, which could truly be regarded as a formidable force. The purpose of this organization, as its name suggested, was to act on behalf of the heavens and sought to challenge the authority of heaven itself.
The leader of the Heavenly Organization once nearly dominated the Boundless World, utilizing the pretext of enforcing divine laws to usurp and replicate heavenly powers, ultimately deceiving and sacrificing countless beings. Even after being sealed away, the remnants of the black disaster continued to incite turmoil among many civilizations.
What the Dharma Sage understood was deeply rooted in the oldest records, tales of a time long past and the shadows that still lingered from those ancient days.
After the Heavenly Organization was shattered, many of its members either disappeared, died, or hid away in secret, quietly biding their time for a chance to make a comeback. The leader of the Heavenly Organization was said to be impossible to kill; he had supposedly entrusted himself to the way of heaven within the Boundless World. Unless the Boundless World was completely destroyed, everything erased, and all returned to ruins, he could not be slain.
In the aftermath, many powerful beings from that era acquired blueprints from the real place and forged treasures belonging to the first generation of civilization. These artifacts were then sealed away, intended to gradually strip away and refine the traces of the leader’s existence, as well as his connection to the way of heaven.
Of course, these were all merely rumors that the Dharma Sage had come across, and he could not ascertain their truth. However, this uncertainty did not diminish his fear of the leader of the Heavenly Organization, a figure who even the real place found to be a tricky challenge.
Meanwhile, as Chu Gucheng and the Dharma Sage engaged in their discussions, outside Wang Chu City in Xian Chu, the Heavenly General had brought Chu Bai back to report on recent events. During the journey, Chu Bai had already provided the Heavenly General with a detailed account of his frictions and disputes with the Ninth Prince of the Demon Court.
The consequences of this incident were indeed astonishing, so it was ultimately up to Chu Gucheng and others to determine how to handle the situation.
“Don’t worry; the king is also very angry about this matter and will not allow the Demon Court to commit further evils,” the Heavenly General said, patting Chu Bai on the shoulder in a show of support.
Despite these reassurances, Chu Bai felt a lingering worry. The ramifications of the incident were severe, and it had already escalated into a conflict between Xian Chu and the Demon Court. He also harbored concerns that Chu Gucheng might take an interest in his Sun-Shooting Bow and attempt to claim it for himself.
Soon, the Heavenly General led Chu Bai to the depths of Chu Wang City. Both Chu Gucheng and the Dharma Sage, who had been discussing the matter of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance, looked down at the same time upon his arrival. They intended to investigate the divine bow that Chu Bai possessed before deciding on a course of action to resolve this troubling situation.
When Chu Bai arrived, he had already formulated a countermeasure, so he did not hesitate to explain how he obtained the Sun-Shooting Bow and how he had killed the Ninth Prince of the Demon Court. He provided a detailed account of his experiences to both Chu Gucheng and the Dharma Sage.
