Chapter 1394: Powerhouses From Various Factions

After Liu Tianmu gave her curt explanation, she turned towards Yu Chen and Xia Taili. Sword qi swirled around the two women, and it seemed like Liu Tianmu was about to attack.

Yu Chen's eyes flashed as she smiled. "Might I ask for Sister’s name?"

"Liu Tianmu."

"Do you have any interest in visiting the Celestial Frost Sect’s Junior Progenitor Planet?" Yu Chen asked.

Xia Taili quickly b.u.t.ted in, "Don't go to the Celestial Frost Sect’s Junior Progenitor Planet! Go to Shenwu’s Sky’s Progenitor Planet! My oldest brother is Junior Progenitor Xia Shenfei."

Yu Chen did not bother arguing with the girl. The Celestial Frost Sect’s name rang loud throughout the Perennial World, and it was a place everyone should want to go, so there was no need to push anyone who was uninterested.

"If Sister comes to the Celestial Frost Sect’s Junior Progenitor Planet, you might gain the opportunity to travel to the Dominion Realm with our Junior Progenitor and leave with your life. Goodbye then," Yu Chen spoke in a light tone before simply leaving.

Xia Taili muttered, "Why are you acting nervous like everyone’s staring at you? You don’t have any b.r.e.a.s.t.s or b.u.t.t."

She then eagerly looked over at Liu Tianmu. "Com’on, Shenwu’s Sky’s Junior Progenitor Planet! My big brother likes you a lot! Wait, no, it wasn’t supposed to sound like that. It’s not that kind of like. I mean, you get what I was saying?"

Liu Tianmu was naturally indifferent to most things, so she just nodded. "I got it."

Xia Taili blinked; she got it? Xia Taili herself had not understood what she had been saying! However, since childhood, Liu Tianmu had possessed a personality that others found difficult to interact with, so Xia Taili did not know how to continue the conversation.

The w.a.n.g family’s elder was already approaching from the other side, and Xia Taili noticed the man. She quickly reminded Liu Tianmu, "Remember, go to Shenwu’s Sky’s Junior Progenitor Planet! My brother will definitely choose you."

When the two were compared, Liu Hao was clearly the better choice over Liu Tianmu. If Liu Hao was willing to join a team, he would immediately be qualified to make the trip to the Dominion Realm, while Liu Tianmu would need to pa.s.s through the selection process on a Junior Progenitor Planet.

Though she had already attracted the attention of the Celestial Frost Sect and Shenwu’s Sky, Liu Tianmu did not feel like she had done enough, so she quickly challenged Liu Lu once more when the w.a.n.g family’s elder was pa.s.sing by. Liu Lu was speechless, but it was also clear that Liu Tianmu wanted to get the attention of the Junior Progenitors. Still, was it impossible for her to challenge someone else? She had already broken his sword.

Xia Taili soon left the Sword Monument, and she did not seek out Liu Tianmu again before leaving.

However, Liu Hao soon sought out Liu Tianmu. "Do you want to go to the Dominion Realm?"

Liu Tianmu casually replied, "That was my plan."

Liu Hao was not surprised. "The Dominion Realm holds humanity’s legacies going back to ancient times, and it’s easy to be lucky enough to stumble upon valuable resources, so I get why you want to go. Have you decided which of the Junior Progenitors you’d like to follow?"

Liu Tianmu shook her head.

Liu Hao fell into thought for a bit. "While the Celestial Frost Sect’s Bai Shaohong seems easy-going, he’s completely ruthless. He keeps his thoughts hidden and is adept at taking advantage of people. Still, he is also stronger than his peers, and no one knows just how strong he is, and he’s supported by his sister who practically runs the Perennial World.

"Shenwu’s Sky’s Xia Shenfei is an honest person, but he also likes to drink. When he drinks too much, he goes nuts and he often can’t distinguish between his enemies and allies. Still, his character is guaranteed.

"The w.a.n.g family w.a.n.g Su is a woman as indifferent to people as you. She has no friends, and no one seems to know what she’s thinking.

"The White Dragon Clan’s Long Tian is close to Bai Shaohong. He’s a cold person, and doesn’t seem to even care for the members of his own clan. He doesn’t show any sort of favoritism to them. Still, he’s more stubborn than Bai Shaohong."

Liu Tianmu continued to quietly listen, and Liu Hao finally said, "You’re part of my Liu family, and your obsession with pursuing the path of the sword is something etched into your bones. You’re someone chasing after the peak of the sword, but you have no skill when it comes to scheming and plotting. In that case, if you want to go to the Dominion Realm, it would be best for you to try to go with Xia Shenfei, and keep w.a.n.g Su as your second choice."

"Understood. Thank you," Liu Tianmu said calmly.

After Liu Hao was scouted, Seed Garden’s Nong Sanniang, a descendant of the Nong family, also received invitations. The Liu family was known for their persistence, while the Nong family were pure-hearted, so much that it rendered others speechless. There were few people in the Perennial World who were able to understand that farming could also improve the future.

Even Yu Chen, despite her peerless insight, felt lost when trying to communicate with Nong Sanniang. No one was able to say something arrogant when standing in the field across from a peasant woman.

Nong Sanniang was an average-looking woman who, at best, could be referred to as delicate. She was dressed completely like a peasant woman, and she held a hoe in one hand while digging at the ground with it again, and again, and again.

Nong Lie stood next to the woman. He had a white cloth over his head that he used to wipe off his sweat when he was tired. He acted like Yu Chen and the other people standing outside of the fieldwere nothing but air.

"Hey, Sanniang! Why don’t you help my big brother in the Dominion Realm? There are beautiful mountains, water, and fields there that you can farm!" Xia Taili shouted.

Elsewhere in the field, Guo began jumping up and down much more cheerfully after hearing Xia Taili's voice, and the strange fruit let out little yiyiyis.

The same elder from the w.a.n.g family was also present. "Our Junior Progenitor wishes to see you once more and travel with you to the Dominion Realm."

Yu Chen spoke up, "My Celestial Frost Sect is willing to help you open your middle meridian point."

A blunt offer of benefits was frequently the most attractive.

Nong Lie straightened up. He looked tired, and his voice sounded exhausted. “"Sister, have you decided? Are you going or not?"

Nong Sanniang drank a bit of water and moved her hoe to rest on her shoulder before turning to look at the three people at the edge of the field. "I’m going, definitely! I already decided that. As for you, you can go or stay here and help with the farmwork. Ya know, a lot of the greenery here in the Perennial World gets hurt, and that ain’t good for the Mother Tree."

Yu Chen was getting frustrated. It was rare for her to be unable to manipulate a person, but there was nothing she could do with Nong Sanniang. Yu Chen just could not fathom what went through this woman’s mind. From the moment Yu Chen had first met Nong Sanniang, the woman had focused on nothing but farming, but it was impossible to know just what she was farming.

Xia Taili was intrigued, and her eyes lit up. "Can I farm, too? I'm tired of traveling, and I want to play!"

Nong Sanniang smiled as she replied, "Farming ain’t no joke, you might sprain a muscle or two."

"I'm a cultivator!" Xia Taili clenched a fist as she stepped into the field.

Elsewhere in Seed Garden, there was a field of golden wheat planted in a pattern that formed several diagrams when viewed from afar in the crops. There was a woman in the field struggling to harvest the field, and there were strange creatures that would occasionally pop up before running away. It painted a picturesque view, as though something from a scroll. The woman was Qiu s.h.i.+.

***

In another part of the Middle Realm, inside the Nest, there was a ma.s.sive creature with a power level of more than 400,000 that had raised up a clawed paw to grab at something. Standing outside was a sinister looking old hag who muttered, “Eat up, eat up. After you’re done feasting you will need to fly for your life.” However, there was a sudden stream of qi that wrapped around the creature, and then there was a wail as the beast collapsed.

There was an old woman outside of the Nest, and her expression drastically changed. “My precious!”

She looked up, focusing her anger-filled eyes onto the Nest before charging towards it. “Who did it? You dared to kill my pet? Get out here!”

As soon as she rushed in, she was faced with a pair of cruel and bloodthirsty eyes. The Nest was the worst prison in the Middle Realm, and was treated as a dining table l by countless beasts. The entire place was filled with sounds that seemed much the same as what lambs made when they were being slaughtered.

The woman was rus.h.i.+ng straight for the top of the Nest.

This woman was not weak, and she was on the verge of becoming an Envoy, but she was not able to break through.

It was possible to enter the Nest, but impossible to leave.

"You’re the one behind that attack just? You’re called Shang Qing, right?"

"This junior is Shang Qing."

"Come with me. You’re getting a chance, and actually, so am I, hahahaha."

"Yes, Senior."

***

There was a ma.s.sive region of the Higher Realm that had a unique terrain. There were mountains and rivers, and the rivers looked like thorns that poked up into the sky. There was no light in the sky in this place, though there was a hideous monster that seemed to have the form of a dragon bound here. This place was Shenwu's Sky.

There were nine incomparably huge chain links between the ground and the sky that surrounded Shenwu's Sky. Directly above Shenwu’s sky was a ferocious dragon that was bound by chains and its tail was pierced to the ground by a broken blade.

One day, an elegant-looking young man arrived at Shenwu's Sky. He held an open fan, and was looking up into the sky. “It shocks me each time I see this imprisoned Jiao."

Several figures approached quickly from the distance, and they surrounded the young man. The man in the middle of the new arrivals quietly said, “Wu Taibai, you dare return after sneaking away? This is no different than betrayal!"

The elegant-looking young man was Wu Taibai. He was actually the young master of Shenwu’s Sky’s Tian generation, and was equally as famous as Xia Taili. He was someone who stood second only to Xia Shenfei, who was a peerless powerhouse.

Wu Taibai looked around. "I bring some important news that’s enough to forgive my crimes."

"Ignore his nonsense! Arrest him and force him to talk-”

Before the man could finish speaking, Wu Taibai smacked the man away. Wu Taibai’s eyes were cold as he folded his fan and put it away. “I am Wu Taibai, and even Xia Shenfei needs to be polite to me! When did trash like you had the audacity to speak to me in this manner!!"

Wu Taibai’s figure then flashed as he continued on towards the interior of Shenwu's Sky.

More and more powerhouses revealed themselves as the time for the Junior Progenitors’ trip to the Dominion Realm approached. All of these people wanted to get the chance to follow a Junior Progenitor to the Dominion Realm.

While the Dominion Realm was incredibly dangerous, it also held unmatched opportunities. Many of the great families in the Perennial World had been lifted up by ancestors who had found and won opportunities in the Dominion Realm. If anyone managed to be invited to support the Junior Progenitors, their future would end up completely changed.

In order to draw a Junior Progenitor’s attention, a person had to have been famous throughout the Perennial World for a long time, or they had to make their way to a Junior Progenitor Planet and then distinguish themselves from the others attempting the same thing. However only a few people would be selected from among those who competed on the Junior Progenitor Planets, as the Junior Progenitors would have already decided upon most of their supporters.

Long Kui kept a close eye on the news from the communication crystal as he sat on Gui’s back. The trip to the Dominion Realm was something that mattered to everyone, and as long as a Junior Progenitor managed to break through the upper meridian’s wisdom point and succeed in the Dominion Realm, they would have a high likelihood of becoming a Progenitor in the future.

One of the Junior Progenitors did not have enough people who would accompany him to the Dominion Realm. He had already decided upon Princess Long Xi, but there were still two more slots that he did not know how he would fill.

Lu Yin was also thinking about the Dominion Realm, and was trying to come up with a way to get there.

Far away, there were gray mountains that together formed the shape of a tripod. Long Kui looked up and quietly said, “We’re about to arrive at Flying Armor Pa.s.s, which is where my White Dragon Clan’s Flying Armor Troops is stationed. They’re led by Long Xian, who holds a grudge against the main family, which is why he’s been stationed here. This is something that outsiders don’t know about, and the Fourteenth Gate shouldn’t be aware of, either. If you want to investigate things here, it would be better for you to do so as an outsider and a stranger than as the son-in-law of the White Dragon Clan’s main family.

"Remember, you are a member of the White Dragon Clan first, and then a member of the Fourteenth Gate."

This was the second time that Lu Yin was hearing this reminder. The first time, he had basically ignored it, but this time, Lu Yin focused on Long Kui and saw that the Envoy was staring intently at Lu Yin.
