The third elder produced a gourd in his hands and threw in at Cultivator Junjun in humiliation.
Not even daring to utter a parting word, he left despondently.
There was no point saying anything to that crazy group. They might actually end up killing him.
The spectators were filled with disbelief at the scene.
Even the noble Wisdom Pill Pavilion surrendered. From that moment on, the Heavenly Palace’s name was about to soar to greater heights.
However, some felt that the Heavenly Palace did not know their place. For a new power to offend an old force like that, the Heavenly Palace was practically looking to die.
Cultivator Junjun and the others did not care about the Wisdom Pill Pavilion at all. After obtaining the gray mist, they immediately sent it to the Seven Dimensions.
On the Wisdom Pill Pavilion’s flying ship, the third elder had a dark look on his face and his expression looked like he was ready to kill anyone.
Waves of violent energy emanated from his body, instilling fear in everyone around him.
He clenched his teeth as he said, “Very well, Heavenly Palace. The Wisdom Pill Pavilion will definitely settle what we owe you today!”
As a pill cultivator, when had he not been respected everywhere he went?
Even Wisdom Dictators never dared to disrespect him.
Yet, the Heavenly Palace had dealt him a vicious slap in the face, completely humiliating him.
Mu Tianhua stood next to him, saying, “Third elder, should we have the pavilion send out experts to eliminate the Heavenly Palace?”
The third elder’s expression constantly changed before he finally shook his head, “We’re in extraordinary times right now. The leader has asked us to maintain a low profile. Our focus should always be on collecting the
gray mist.”
Bringing up the gray mist caused his face to twitch, sending pangs of pain to his heart.
The gray mist he handed to the Heavenly Palace had not been easy to gather, yet it changed hands before he was even familiar with it.
Elsewhere, at the Heaven Plundering Alliance, the masked man sat crossed-legged in the air.
A disciple approached him, kneeling reverently.
The disciple said, “Overlord, there’s news about the Heavenly Palace that came out of the Ancient Forbidden Area.”
The masked man’s voice was imperious. “Speak.”
The disciple said, “The Heavenly Palace is also collecting gray mist. They suppressed the Mirage Dragon that had been contaminated by the mist but ended up in conflict with the Wisdom Pill Pavilion over it. In the end,
the Heavenly Palace subdued the Wisdom Pavilion’s elder, fighting above their level.”
“They have power that exceeds their own level?”
“That’s right.” The disciple nodded as he continued in shock, “It seems like everyone from the Heavenly Palace is a genius. Every one of them can fight across realms. They seem fearless about everything, I’m afraid they
have very powerful origins.”
“Haha, powerful origins indeed.” The masked man smiled coldly before he waved his hand in the air.
Acrystal-like blade appeared, floating in front of him.
“To advance things, it’s about time I lay the second bait. Sword servant, it’s your time to make an appearance.”
“Yes, master.”
The Heavenly Palace handed the gray mist to the four-part architecture before returning to the Lingxiao Palace, discussing what they had to do after.
Other than needing to find out more about the gray mist, they also needed to understand the changes in the Origins Realm.
During that time, the Heavenly Palace received quite a lot of news.
The Jade Emperor said with a serious face, “In the Origins Realm, there are a few other forces that are also gathering the gray mist just like we are. The most prominent ones are the three major powers, The Ice Sea,
Daojun City, and the Shenxiao Tower! According to rumors, each of those three places has a supreme power, one of those supreme powers that existed countless years ago!”
“Supreme powers?” Cultivator Junjun furrowed his eyebrows, saying, “Did these supremes exist during the same time as the Battle Spirit Guardians?”
The Jade Emperor nodded seriously, “I’m afraid so!”
After a pause, he said, “The day the gray mist erupted, some people witnessed the Ice Sea, the Shenxiao Tower, and Daojun City’s supreme powers making a move. The rumors are basically verified.”
Yang Jing said suspiciously, “What are they gathering the gray mist for?”
The Jade Emperor said, “Everyone’s saying the same thing about collecting the mist, which is that they’re trying to seal and suppress misfortune!”
Goddess Nuwa could not help but say, “If all those powers helped the expert gather the mist, we’d have a much easier time.”
Everyone nodded meaningfully.
However, in the next moment, Xiao Chengfeng’s expression brightened. He had a sly smile on his face as he said excitedly, “Goddess Nuwa made me think of something. They might not be gathering the gray mist for
the expert, but we can steal it from them!”
Those words excited everyone.
Juling Shen said, “Good plan! It’d be much faster to steal theirs than collecting it ourselves!”
Yang Jing agreed and said, “We managed to steal quite a lot of gray mist from the third elder of the Wisdom Pill Pavilion earlier. It really is much easier and more practical.”
“Quit your nonsense!”
Cultivator Junjun let out a cold shout before he continued, “We aren’t stealing, we’re just borrowing! As for how we’ll steal them for… ahem, I mean borrow, we need a good plan and a good target.”
Everyone started to flesh out their plan.
They would observe the movements of the gray mist, collecting it themselves while they figure out how to borrow more mist.
Xiao Chengfeng was immediately attracted to one piece of news.
“The Divine Sword Mountain’s opening its doors to all sword cultivators. Those who can make the Divine Swords submit can take them and eliminate the misfortune together!”
The Jade Emperor said, “The Divine Sword Mountain is the holy land for sword cultivators in the Origins Realm. There’s a mountain within it that’s filled with divine swords. Rumor has it that countless years ago, the
master of the mountain was unparalleled in the sword arts. He waited on the mountain and challenged every sword cultivator. All those who lost had to leave their swords behind. That was how the mountain was
formed.”
“Unparalleled? He’s that strong?”
Xiao Chengfeng’s eyes brightened as he summoned up his sword aura, impatiently saying, “I really need to have a taste.”
Cultivator Junjun said immediately, “The Divine Sword Mountain opened up the gift of the swords to the world. They want to give even more people the power to subdue the gray mist. They might have collected some
themselves. Go see if you can borrow some from them.”
Xiao Chengfeng said proudly, “Hahaha, don’t worry, I’ll definitely subdue to whole Divine Sword Mountain and they’ll send us everything they have.
“However, I can’t have all the fun myself, I’ll go get Jiang Liu.”
After that, he immediately left the Heavenly Palace and arrived at the Fallen Immortal Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, Jiang Liu was chopping up firewood with his sword as usual. There was already a lot of firework by his feet.
He was like an animated picture, doing the same thing every day but never getting tired of it.
Xiao Chengfeng immediately walked over and said, “Brother Jiang Liu, you’re the only sword cultivator in all the realms that I acknowledge. I’m going to the holy land of sword cultivators in the Origin Realm, do you
want to come?”
Jiang Liu spoke as he chopped, “The holy land of sword cultivators?”
Xiao Chengfeng nodded. “That’s right. This place has the swords of geniuses dating back to ancient times. It’s rumored that it’s incredibly hard to be recognized by the divine swords on the mountain. You can’t miss
this opportunity.”
Jiang Liu stopped what he was doing and smiled, “Are you worried that your sword cultivation won’t be enough? Is that why you’re asking me to back you up?”
Xiao Chengfeng coughed and said, “You’re the expert’s woodcutter. After chopping wood for so long, it’s about time you help the expert and make a name for yourself.”
Jiang Liu nodded. “I’ll have to ask the expert for a day off first. If he agrees, I’ll go.”.
