The skies split apart!

As Xiao Chengfeng looked at that figure, he suddenly remembered something the expert said before, “To be capable of holding the sun and the moon, and all the stars in my hand. There’s no one else like me in the world.”

It was possible that only that person would be able to carry that moniker.

However, just as that madman’s figure started to blur, Wisdom suddenly fought back. Countless terrifying phenomena started to appear, and all of them started to charge right at the madman!

It was an incredibly majestic sight.

The whole world’s Wisdom materialized to stop one man!

In Sword Tyrant’s memories, that scene was unforgettable. It stayed in his memories from the terror he felt alone.

It was not just him, all of the strongest warriors from his era witnessed that apocalyptic sight as well.

In the end, the madman was turned to dust, completely disappearing into the void.

However, his voice reverberated throughout the heavens, “I might be dying, but my will shall remain. I’ll always remain a huge part of you. Wisdom will exist for my sake!”

The scene stopped there, and Xiao Chengfeng was shocked.

At that moment, he noticed that the Sword Tyrant’s figure started to get blurry as if he would disappear at any moment. At the same time, his abilities rapidly increased. Even though he was still far from being a supreme being, he still stepped right into the pinnacle of a Wisdom Dictator.

Xiao Chengfeng’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Senior, you…”

“Like I said, you’ll have to make that slash from back then for me. Don’t disappoint me…” After the Sword Tyrant said that, his figure disappeared into nothingness. The will of his swordsmanship disappeared with it.

“Senior!” Xiao Chengfeng shouted, but did not get a response.

He looked at the drunkard with reddened eyes, “Why did this happen?”

The drunkard looked at where the Sword Tyrant disappeared and said calmly, “This is the best result. I brought you here to help but let go of everything completely. Otherwise, he would end up being controlled by the gray mist.”

Xiao Chengfeng was silent for a long time before he asked, “Is that madman dead?”

The drunkard shook his head and sighed, “No one knows. His form should be completely gone, but… The contaminated gray mist was born because of him. He could very well be the corruption itself.”

“The gray mist was born because of him?” Xiao Chengfeng was incredibly shocked.

“He fused into Wisdom. Even though he failed, he still managed to fuse a part of him inside. You can see Wisdom as a large bucket of water. If someone just put a drop of ink inside, the water will never be clean.” The drunkard spoke in an even voice, but it boomed in Xiao Chengfeng’s ears, stunning him.

However, the drunkard continued, “Wisdom is formless, shapeless, and does not think for itself. However, thanks to what that person did, a will was born in Wisdom! That will is the corruption!”

XIao Chengfeng shivered, “So, you mean that that person caused Wisdom to develop a consciousness?”

The drunkard nodded, “Wisdom’s natural state would not allow something like that to happen. Otherwise, all life would cease to exist. So, it cut off that contaminated part of it, which is why Wisdom is incomplete now, and the cultivators after that were never able to have a path forward!”

“So that’s what happened. That madman managed to cause such a huge calamity all by himself.”

As Xiao Chengfeng lamented, he both hated and respected that person. After that, he asked, “What did the Sword Tyrant mean by me dealing the blow he was never able to?”

“It’s something he could never complete. I’ll just help him tell you,” The drunkard and Xiao Chengfeng chatted away as if no one else was there, not bothering with the old lady at all.

That old lady glared at them with a venomous expression, but that was all she could do.

“Wisdom split apart back then, and the corruption caused chaos in the world. Cultivators were split into two factions as well. It is the dark history of the cultivation world. Even supreme beings swerve just chess pieces that could be killed at any moment. The Sword Tyrant wanted to strike at the corruption in one go, but at the last moment, he faltered, unable to strike out of fear.” The drunkard spoke of what happened in the past faintly.

Xiao Chengfeng said, “The Sword Tyrant must have been afraid of the madman from back then. He might have never been able to forget that figure.”

The drunkard patted Xiao Chengfeng on the arm, “That’s right. That’s his true will. In the battle against corruption this time, I hope you’ll be able to strike that blow for his sake.”

“Senior, I will!” Xiao Chengfeng nodded resolutely.

“That’s right, you can have this as well,” The drunkard tossed a fan to Xiao Chengfeng with a wave.

It had the shape of a palm-leaf fan, but it was silver in color. There were even various patterns on it that looked like flowing waves.

“This is… a battle soul?” Xiao Chengfeng was surprised when he felt the aura coming out of the fan.

It was one of the seven battle souls. He never expected that it would fall into his hands so easily.

The drunkard said, “This is the Sky-Covering Fan. It has the Wisdom of water inside. One wave can change the flow of rivers, another can give you control of all water in the world. A third wave can cause floods. It’s a treasure from someone back then, take it and look for someone to inherit it.”

Xiao Chengfeng hurriedly took it, “Thank you, Senior. How did you come across this treasure?”

“Very long ago, someone came over with this treasure. I didn’t think he seemed like a good person, so I killed him and took the fan,” The drunkard said casually.

Xiao Chengfeng gulped at that.

That person who was killed should have been someone from the Heaven Plundering Alliance, attempting to do something at the Endless Sea with the Sky-Covering Fan. His cultivation was not low, but he was easily killed by the drunkard…

The Heaven Plundering Alliance must have been pissed off by that.

The drunkard waved him off, “Alright, you can go now.”

“You want to go? Is the Endless Sea somewhere you can just leave if you want to?” The old lady roared ferociously. The seawater rose again and tried to kill the two of them.

“Damn!” The drunkard threw his gourd into the air. It immediately grew to an immense size and fell!

The whole sea was suddenly suppressed and returned to the calm from before. The old lady retreated suddenly, looking at the drunkard in alarm.

“Senior, I’ll take my leave,” Xiao Chengfeng saluted the drunkard before riding his sword away, disappearing into the distance.

“Drunkard, you’re my mortal enemy! You’ll be left behind by the new era!” The old lady shrieked as the Endless Sea started to rage again. Countless monsters and gray mist surged forward, sparking a new battle!

…

At the same time, the Noble Pavilion, Lingyun Valley and Xuanyuan Sect, and other forces started to move.

They were the ones who agreed to keep the golden page a secret, and at that moment, someone already found where the page referred to!
