Translator: Tamon Translation Checker: Silavin With the new Chaos Sword Body, Ling Bao’er was new and improved—unbeatable, maybe. One thing was clear: she was the strongest on the Nine Province Continent, except Chen Changan, of course. She was confident that even those recultivators would suffer if they went against her. Winning was very much on the cards. Bai Yue’s mind crumbled, losing all grip on reality with all these ridiculous and insane events popping around her like candy. It was madness to think someone could bestow a constitution on another person, made worse when Ling Bao’er got such an absurd one to boot! A suspicion wormed in her mind that Chen Changan might be holding other overbearing constitutions up his sleeves. His white robe and smile made him a mystery, one worthy of worship. None could ever imagine such a being existed. Bai Yue felt fortunate she didn’t get on his bad side. She was still breathing, was she not? … Fa Tian arrived in Ghost Province at long last. He marched forth with cold eyes. With the Immortal Mark and robbing Nine Province Continent of countless lives, Fa Tian reached the 5th Layer of the Spirit Severing Stage in no time. He also wielded the Tyrant Demon Body. Getting to such a level could not be easier. “So this is Ghost Province.” Fa Tian had heard plenty of talks about Chen Changan and his disciple contest on Soaring Immortal Mountain. He happened to bump into a few Nine Province Continent geniuses as well. It was a shame he did, for those geniuses never saw tomorrow. “The other recultivators must be aiming for the disciple contest as well. Chen Changan, the Absolute Dominator, how amusing.” Fa Tian’s eyes shone with utter emptiness. He suddenly paused from walking and his eyes widened. “Immortal Lord Shen Wu’s Life Force is gone.” A Dao Protector and his protection target were tied by Dao, making it easy for the two to know each other’s location on the continent, wherever they might be. The premise was to awaken the Immortal Mark. It was what kept Mei Niang from discovering the Seventh Princes all these centuries, and blinded Shen Wu of Fa Tian’s birthplace. Fa Tian noticed the tie between him and Shen Wu snapped. His Dao Protector had died. His last known location was clear to Fa Tian, Ghost Province. A mighty and overbearing Immortal Lord just died, a peak power in the Immortal Domains. “Was it another Dao Protector, or Soaring Immortal Mountain’s Chen Changan?” Fa Tian’s eyes flashed. He was confident in his skills, but even he could not match an Immortal Lord. He was certain that meeting another Dao Protector would put him in terrible danger. Fa Tian sneered, fearless and battle-hungry. “I’ll soon find out who killed my Dao Protector.” … A gateway popped somewhere in the sky, and an old monk walked out. He had compassionate eyes, filled with a Buddhist Aura, and shone golden. Wu Liang was back. The Nine Province Continent’s aura left him conflicted. Chen Changan filled him with fear in the Myriad Mountains. The absolute authority, the almighty display of Buddha Dao. These were all far beyond anything he thought possible. Even the one he was supposed to protect, Jian Qian, died because of it. He did not even bother helping his charge escape, finding his life far more precious. An Immortal Lord would find such an event happening in the barren Nine Province Continent an insult, a stain on their name, something he wanted to forget. He hoped to never come back to this awful place, but fate willed it for him to face his Demons by calling him back here to take Buddha Duo Bao’s Sarira. More like ordered. Anyhow, this was his last chance. Death was his reward if he botched his duty. A golden light flashed in his right hand and Abbot’s Vajra Demon Pestle appeared. Wu Liang’s power and confidence soared by holding this Buddhist item. [I’ll wash away the shame and take back the Sarira!] Wu Liang pulled the item back into his body. He held his hands in prayer and said, “Ah Mi Tuo Fo.” then flashed in the distance in the form of an Immortal Light. To Myriad Mountains! … The discipleship contest drew nearer and nearer with every passing day. The Nine Province Cauldron, Heavenly Dao Protector, and becoming that almighty Senior’s disciple was all anyone talked about. It made Soaring Immortal Mountain the number one holy land on the Nine Province Continent. The majestic Immortal Energy and the lush Immortal Land were the perks of Absolute Domain. Rumours circulated that only the Upper Realm enjoyed such luxury, that cultivating here was beyond fast. Many cultivators stuck at a wall found they could breeze it in such a paradise. It led to endless cultivators coming to Myriad Mountains, some to join the contest, while most to cultivate in this slice of Heaven. Myriad Mountains were teeming with people, from Nascent Soul all the way to Empty Immortal. Wasn’t Immortality the goal here, anyway? Blessed lands and sanctuaries, a rarity on the Nine Province Continent, were made obsolete the moment news of Myriad Mountains’ Immortal Land took the continent by storm. The mighty Empty Immortals could not fight their desires and instincts, coming here to cultivate. Each day came with a definite improvement! Hope, promise, and reality all gave them the newfound belief that ascending was not out of reach. Senior’s endless compassion, letting any cultivate in such a paradise without concern, left many cultivators in awe and overwhelmed with respect. All according to Chen Changan’s ingenious plan. [It’s a win-win, joint progress.] [You get the cultivation you want in the Absolute Domain, and I get the Domain Points I want. The more you advance, the more I gain.] Chen Changan’s steady income of Domain Points allowed a daily expansion of the Absolute Domain.
