Chapter 53: The Great Akasa Divine Hand; The Woman Who Has Lost Her Mind

The trio discussed for a long time before they finally agreed on a plan. Apart from the Sect Master, they were going to keep Zi Linglong’s cultivation base a secret from everyone.

“You should also remind the Sect Master to keep it a secret. We need to make sure Linglong has a safe place to cultivate until she breaks through to the Primal Spirit Realm where she can finally protect herself,” Jiang Ming said.

“You’re right. That’s very thoughtful of you,” Gu Hai said as he nodded.

Warmth suffused Zi Linglong’s heart when she saw how much the duo cared and worried about her. After a moment, she brought out a few porcelain vials and items and set them down the table. Then, she said to Jiang Ming, “Senior Brother, these are pills that can help you form your core and expand your Purple Mansion. This armor here is a low-grade Artifact. You can use it for the time being. Once you’ve broken through to the Golden Core Realm, I’ll find you another armor. As for this bell, it’s a top-grade Artifact. It’s very suitable for you, and…”

Zi Linglong continued to hand one item after another to Jiang Ming as she spoke.

Jiang Ming looked at her with his mouth agape, stunned. Initially, he planned to refuse her gifts, but when he saw her expectant gaze, he swallowed his refusal and accepted them with a smile on his face.

Gu Hai was equally stunned. He said, clearly jealous, “So this is how it is. You forget about your master when your senior brother is present.”

“That’s not true!” Linglong smiled sweetly. She brought a piece of armor out and handed it to Gu Hai as she said, “This is for you. It’s a middle-grade Artifact.”

“Middle-grade?” Gu Hai was stunned again. A piece of defensive armor was far more precious than a weapon of the same grade. Even the sect only had two of such items. When he regained his senses, he shook his head and said, “Keep it for yourself. After all, you’ll still be going out to train. I’m sure the armor will come in handy.”

“Don’t worry, Master. I already have one, and it’s much better than this one!” Zi Linglong said.

“Even if you have a better one, you should still keep it. It’s always good to have extras. What if your armor breaks? Moreover, you can don two armor for extra protection. I rarely leave the mountain so it’s not very useful to me.”

“Master, you have to accept it. Consider it a small token of appreciation from me,” Zi Linglong said.

Jiang Ming chimed in, “Master, just accept it since Senior Sister is so sincere.”

Jiang Ming was aware of his junior sister’s strength and cultivation base, and he knew what kind of tomb she had stumbled upon. Hence, he was certain she possessed many treasures. As for why she did not bring all of them out, it was likely because she thought his and their master’s cultivation bases were not high enough. Possessing treasures when one was weak would only attract trouble, after all.

The trio chatted and laughed as they finished their breakfast.

[Ding! Congratulations on having a harmonious breakfast. Reward: the Great Akasa Divine Hand]

Jiang Ming’s eyes lit up upon hearing the system notification.

‘Another one from the Great Akasa series? It must be a powerful technique! First, it was a sword technique; second, it was a movement technique; now, it’s a palm seal technique. I wonder if there are fist techniques and Primal Spirit techniques as well? This is really exciting!’

…

While Jiang Ming was doing the dishes, Gu Hai released a flare of light into the air.

Before long, the Sect Master appeared on Chuyang Peak.

The duo kept their heads closed as they chatted.

When the Sect Master learned that Zi Linglong had broken through to the Dao Seed Realm, he was shocked. He was very tempted to laugh out loud but restrained himself in the end. Following that, he instructed Gu Hai to keep the matter a secret so that Zi Linglong could cultivate in peace. His thoughts were in line with Gu Hai and Jiang Ming’s. He had high expectations of her, and she was one of the candidates who were set to lead the Jiuyang Sect. He decided to tell everyone that she injured herself while she was out so she was going to heal her injuries and cultivate in seclusion. After he was done giving his instructions, he prepared to leave.

Although the Sect Master did not ask Linglong about the secret tomb, Linglong still brought a medicinal pill out and handed it to him.

“T-this… This is the Spirit Rejuvenation Pill?” The Sect Master was shocked. He stared at the pill longingly. Although he really wanted the pill, he resisted the urge to keep it before he said, “Linglong, this pill is very useful in helping one form the Primal Spirit. You should keep it for yourself. After reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, you can use it to enter the Primal Spirit Realm!”

“Sect Master, I still have a long way to go before reaching that realm. You’re the backbone of our sect. You have to become stronger so that we, disciples, will be able to cultivate without worries,” Zi Linglong replied.

“See that? My disciple is not only lucky and talented, but she also has a great personality!” Gu Hai said proudly as he lifted his chin slightly. A big smile could be seen on his face as he continued to say, “You heard what she said. You should accept the pill and become stronger so you can continue supporting the sect!”

In the end, the Sect Master no longer refused the pill. He lamented, “I didn’t expect I’d be given such an opportunity from Chuyang Peak, and the person who helped me the most is your disciple. Fortunately, I had foresight and supported you back then. Otherwise, I’d miss out on a golden opportunity!”

As soon as the Sect Master’s voice fell, the formation at the entrance of the sect shook, and the alarm resounded through the sect.

“Someone is attacking our gate!” The Sect Master’s expression turned grim. “No matter who it is, they can’t have come with good intentions. Gu Hai, look after them. No matter what happens outside, don’t leave. If the worst happens, bring them with you and leave the sect!”

Gu Hai inhaled deeply and nodded.

Following that, the Sect Master rode on a puff of cloud and vanished from sight.

Zi Linglong furrowed her brows as she looked in the direction of the sect’s entrance.

…

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming, who had heard the alarm, leaped up to the rooftop. His eyes glowed with a divine light as he looked past the formation to see what was going on outside.

He saw a woman glowing with a green light hovering in the air in front of the gates of Jiuyang Sect. She was stunningly beautiful, but her expression was frosty. When she lifted her hand and pointed ahead, the barrier around Jiuyang Sect shook again. It looked as though it was going to shatter at any given moment.

Subsequently, she cocked an eyebrow before she brought out a blue sword. With a single strike, she tore an opening in the barrier and stepped into the sect.

Upon seeing this, everyone from the Jiuyang Sect who were present, whether they were First Seats, elders, or disciples, was stunned. Tearing the barrier and entering the sect without permission was no different from trampling on the sect’s pride and dignity.

Jiang Ming’s expression darkened as he saw this blatant invasion.

Swoosh!

He called up the Human Path Records.

Name: Mu Shuiyun

Gender: Female

Cultivation base: Primal Spirit Realm.

Background: Elder of the Qingyun Sect.

Relationship: 0

Innate Talent: Nine stars (Water Spirit Body)

Status: She was once the Holy Daughter of Qingyun Sect. She was abducted by a flood dragon and lost her chastity. When she returned to Qingyun Sect, she was stripped of her title due to her pregnancy. She lost her mind when her son, Mu Lei, was killed after visiting Jiuyang Sect to propose to Zi Linglong. When she found the base of a devil sect, she had a huge battle with them. As a result, she was injured. After she recovered from her injuries, she continued to grieve the loss of her son. When she recalled the woman who had rejected her son’s proposal, she was overcome with rage. She couldn’t accept that her son was dead while the woman who rejected is still alive. As such, she came to Jiuyang Sect to capture Zi Linglong with the intention of burying Zi Linglong with her son.

‘Mu Shuiyun!’ Jiang Ming said through gritted teeth as he narrowed his eyes. ‘You want to bury my junior sister with your son? Dream on!’

At this time, Zi Linglong and Gu Hai came to Jiang Ming’s side.

Zi Linglong stood in between Jiang Ming and Gu Hai as she mobilized her mana and gazed into the distance.

…

The Sect Master appeared, holding a sword in his hand. His face was flushed red from anger as he said, “Daoist Shuiyun, what’s the meaning of this?”

As the Sect Master spoke, the sword in his hand buzzed and thrummed, causing ripples to form in the void.

At the same time, a barrier was forming in the sky.

A few First Seats, Dongfang Lie; Yue Cheng; and Yin Yue. appeared one after another and moved to stand next to the Sect Master. Their expressions were all dark.

“My son, Mu Lei, took a liking to a girl in your sect,” Mu Shuiyun bluntly said, “Hand her over to me.”

“How dare you!” the Sect Master growled. “Not only did you trespass into my sect, but you even dare to demand I hand my disciple to you?” Mu Shuiyun, do you really think Jiuyang Sect is a place where you can come and go as you please and make unreasonable demands?”

“Even if you’re from the Qingyun Sect, this is too much!” Yue Cheng snarled. “Damaging our formation and trespassing into our sect are a declaration of war!”

Swoosh!

The white-clad Hao Chen, the First Seat of Shaoyang Peak, wore a frosty expression on his face as he held onto his sword that was buzzing. As he launched an energy sword into the sky, nine suns rose at his back, distorting the void. His eyes brimmed with killing intent as he stared at Mu Shuiyun.

With that, the other First Seats began to mobilize their mana as well.

“I represent no one but myself,” Mu Shuiyun said as she looked at the people in front of her contemptuously, “I admit I’m a bully, but what can you do about it? I’ll ask you one more time. Yan Yan, are you going to hand that disciple over to me or not? If you refuse…”

Mu Shuiyun paused briefly. A cruel smile appeared on her face before she said, “I’ll tell the world that Jiuyang Sect is colluding with the devil sects to conquer the Eastern Region. At that time, everyone will have the right to attack the Jiuyang Sect. The devil’s base we found thousands of miles away from here is the best evidence.. Are you sure you want to drag everyone to hell for the sake of one disciple?”
