Back at the White Deer Paradise. 

With Kou Chongxue’s fate dipper clone forming and controlling the Hidden Frost Sword personally, he stabbed it deep into the eye of the formation in the White Deer Spring. The energy that had been stored up by the White Deer Paradise poured into the spring at a terrifying speed as they were channeled back to the You Continent!

The White Deer Paradise had been plotting for a long time. However, now that the tables have turned, the energy they had accumulated was being stolen instead!

“Kou Chongxue, you deserve to die!” Ancestor Hua Lu who finally discovered what was going on roared with rage when she saw the accumulations of the White Deer Paradise being stolen under her nose. She was so angry she nearly vomited a mouthful of blood.

Even though she was bursting with rage, she managed to restrain herself this time. She didn’t rush to attack Kou Chongxue immediately. She disappeared from her spot.

A cold snort emerged from Kou Chongxue’s nose, but he became all the more serious.

When Ancestor Hua Lu disappeared, Kou Chongxue discovered that the space around him was starting to turn a little more solid. In fact, there was a subtle pressure descending on him in the form of complete suppression.

That was why a holy land was considered a holy land.

Even with his frightening strength, Kou Chongxue wouldn’t be able to fight against the White Deer Paradise on his own! Given enough time, they would be able to force him to stop!

Earlier, when Yun Lu disappeared, it seemed as though he knew what to do now that Kou Chongxue had arrived. His retreat might be correct, but it was also because he had no choice. He suffered serious injuries just a moment ago when one of his fate dippers was forcefully separated from him. He couldn’t possibly fight with the enraged Kou Chongxue who charged into their territory to seek revenge.

Yun Lu might have been a third element Martial Dipper Realm expert at his peak and much stronger than Hua Lu, but his current strength was severely compromised!

With Hua Lu retreating into the core of the White Deer Paradise to take charge of the situation, Kou Chongxue wouldn’t be able to defeat them anymore.

Their reluctance to do battle outright might be fuelled by the fact that they had to protect the White Deer Paradise, but it was also because none of them wished to fight with the madman of the You Continent! Kou Chongxue wasn’t known as the tyrant of the northern continents for nothing!

Even though the current Kou Chongxue was a mere fate dipper clone and was still severely injured, they didn’t wish to fight him head-on! The clone might only be comparable to a first element Martial Dipper Realm expert, but that was Kou Chongxue they were talking about!

One had to know that the clone was created from his Primal Yang Copper Fate Dipper! Of the fate dippers owned by those in the Martial Dipper Realm, it was known to possess the strongest combat capabilities!

In the past, that was what Kou Chongxue relied on to dominate the Azure Origin World and establish his prestige!

With a fate dipper clone made up of the Primal Yang Copper Fate Dipper, he could easily challenge Hua Lu who was a second element Martial Dipper Realm cultivator.

There was also a need to mention that Kou Chongxue’s fate dipper clone was wielding his divine weapon, the Hidden Frost Sword!

Graded weapons could be split into low, mid, and high-grade. However, no one knew how to classify divine weapons yet.

The Hidden Frost Sword was made from Origin Yang Mysterious Copper, and from the name itself, one could easily draw the connection to his fate dipper. There was no need to doubt that was a first-rate weapon!

Any Martial Dipper Realm expert would probably experience a 30 percent increase in strength with a divine weapon in hand. But for Kou Chongxue with the Primal Yang Copper Fate Dipper to wield the Hidden Frost Sword made from the Origin Yang Mysterious Copper…

Taking a step forward, Kou Chongxue drew another line in the air in front of him after pulling his sword out from the White Deer Spring. 

The number of Martial Dipper Realm experts in the Azure Origin World was slightly more than the number of fingers on both hands, and anyone who reached that level could be considered to have reached the peak. None of them had any guides on how to improve. If they wished to progress, they could only pioneer their own path!

Kou Chongxue’s sword art was something he created himself after entering the Martial Dipper Realm, the Origin Yang Thousand Peak Sword!

He got his inspiration for the first move contained in his sword art from the winding Thousand Leaf Mountain Range, and that was where the name ‘Thousand Peak’ came from. Since his sword was made from Origin Yang Mysterious Copper, he conveniently added the words Origin Yang in front of his technique!

Even though the subsequent moves had nothing to do with the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range any longer, the name stuck.

As he unleashed his rank five sword art, the space in the White Deer Paradise seemed to split apart and the energy contained similarly dissipated. It was as though half the air in a balloon vanished.

The energy and foundations of the White Deer Paradise continued to pour out of the White Deer Spring and the scene greatly resembled what happened in the Tongyou Mysterious World when Yun Lu appeared.

The energy that disappeared earlier quickly returned, and this time, it seemed to form a huge torrent in the skies that came crashing down on Kou Chongxue. 

The slovenly dressed Patriarch Kou who looked like half a slob released an unbridled aura as a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He swung his sword seemingly in an attempt to fight against the combined strength of the White Deer Paradise alone.

However, the White Deer Paradise evidently wouldn’t allow Kou Chongxue to do as he pleased this time.

The jade hill Hua Lu tossed out earlier descended once again. This time, it had the assistance of the power contained in the White Deer Paradise. There wasn’t a chance for him to dodge this time.

Turning serious, Kou Chognxue whose sword was about to draw another nice arc through the White Deer Paradise felt it clash with the jade hill.

The resulting explosion rocked the White Deer Paradise as the jade hill broke apart slightly. It was blown away by the impact.

Hua Lu’s weapon wasn’t a divine weapon at the end of the day. It wasn’t able to challenge Kou Chongxue’s Hidden Frost Sword in the slightest!

However, it managed to force Kou Chongxue to take half a step back! He stood at the eye of the formation in the White Deer Spring, and a staff fell from the void!

The person who made his move this time was Yun Lu, whose cultivation was forced to regress due to Kou Chongxue!

Ancestor Yun Lu seemed to have grasped his timing really well as his sudden strike caught Kou Chongxue when the latter hadn’t fully stabilized himself. However, he was destined to be disappointed.

Kou Chongxue might be in a foreign territory, but his individual combat strength was stronger than Hua Lu or Yun Lu! He wasn’t afraid of Yun Lu’s sneak attack at all! Instead, he was a little more wary towards attacks like the one Hua Lu unleashed earlier that caused him to lose his footing.

That was because it exhausted a lot of his energy! Kou Chongxue might have gained the upper hand earlier, but in exchange, he used up quite a bit of energy to resist that attack. 

Against targeted strikes like that from Yun Lu, Kou Chongxue could easily deal with it with his fighting techniques. Moreover, he could conserve a lot of strength due to his wealth of battle experience that allowed him to resist Yun Lu’s strikes with the least amount of energy! He might look like he was at a disadvantage, but he could last a long time in one-on-one battles like that.

Time was the most important thing to him right now! 

Did he barge into the White Deer Paradise to look for a fight? No!

Was it to vent his frustrations on Yun Lu? Of course not! 

He was there to steal the foundations of the White Deer Paradise because of what they did to the Tongyou Institution!

Not only would he be able to regain what they lost, but he would also be able to weaken the White Deer Paradise who declared themselves as the institution’s enemy the moment they pulled their shitty move!

Winning a small skirmish against Yun Lu or Hua Lu didn’t interest Kou Chongxue in the slightest!

The longer he dragged things out, the longer the foundations of the White Deer Paradise would flow back to the You Continent! That was his goal.

…

In the spirit cave under the City Lord Manor in the Changfeng City, the rumbling sound became stronger and stronger as a sudden pressure descended on Shang Xia and Third Sister Hai. 

It was as though a ferocious beast was about to emerge!

Forgetting everything she wanted to say, Third Sister Hai screamed at the top of her lungs in order to beat the noisy rumbling that came from the distance. “What the hell is going on?! You know what’s happening, right?!”

A mischievous look appeared on Shang Xia’s face as he roared with laughter, “It’s here! A great opportunity!” 

Before Third Sister Hai could say anything, she discovered that the water in the underground river had started flowing in reverse!

Waves battered against the walls as the water level started to rise quickly. It didn’t take long for the spirit cave to be flooded too. 

At that moment, a white streak drilled its way into the deep pool in the spirit cave as dense white mist emerged. It quickly escaped from the holes in the ceiling as they turned into streams of energy that rose towards the rose-colored bridge in the air. It quickly traveled in the direction of the Tongyou City before pouring into the Tongyou Mysterious World.

Unlike the time when the Tongyou Mysterious World was sucking up energy from the Origin Tide crazily, the energy that came from the White Deer Paradise was much more mellow. It became a warm and pure stream of energy that strengthened the Tongyou Mysterious World. It wasn’t as tyrannical as the energy from the Origin Tide and cultivators could even absorb it to cultivate.

The tyrannical and chaotic energy that came from the Origin Tide had its own uses. It was much more difficult to absorb to be used in cultivation, but it proved to possess miraculous properties that could create miracles. 

An example would be how Ji Wenlong completed the deduction of Kou Chongxue’s incomplete rank five advancement formula previously. Also, it could produce loose strands of extermination origin, treasures, and other impressive stuff.

As the white mist filled the spirit cave, it quickly became extremely dense as it choked the unprepared Third Sister Hai.

Due to the small space in the spirit cave, the dense mist quickly caused visibility to drop to the point where they couldn’t see their fingers if they placed their hands before them.

After finally getting rid of the suffocating feeling, Third Sister Hai greedily transformed the mist around her into inner qi before yelling, “Is this the opportunity you’re talking about?”

Shang Xia, who was sucking in the pure energy in the air as quickly as he could, roared with laughter, “Yeah! The opportunity is right in front of you! Too bad you might not be able to make use of it!” 

Shang Xia’s words caused her mind to spin. She was already at the grand completion stage of the Martial Intent Realm. As long as she took another step…

However, she didn’t possess any rank four advancement medicine! Her cultivation couldn’t increase any further, and she couldn’t absorb the energy around her endlessly!

She could only watch as the energy flowed out of the spirit cave due to her bottleneck!

On the other hand, Shang Xia wasn’t restricted by his cultivation base. With the help of the energy around him, he quickly approached the large completion stage of the Martial Intent Realm.
