Ethereal Sect
Li Gang came to his bed. Today was the day he planned to sleep. He moved over and lay on it, starting to think about various things, especially his conversation with Su Zun.
Flashback
"I want Domination!"
Su Zun was surprised. He glanced at Li Gang and asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Gang's eyes were very firm. He replied calmly, "I want to dominate the world. I want to rule everything. I want to be the one who stands above all."
Su Zun nodded and asked again, "Are you sure about that? Normally, people dream of immortality, becoming an emperor, and so on. Are you satisfied with your dream?"
Li Gang scoffed, "Such people are short-sighted. What is an emperor? If I want to establish absolute domination, then an emperor is just one of my stepping stones. If I want to stand above all, then immortality is just one of the checkpoints on my journey."
Su Zun's eyes were calm, but internally he disdained such an unrealistic dream. 'You want to dominate everything? Unfortunately, you are just a pawn in the hands of those guys. No matter what you do, you will forever be a frog at the bottom of the well and a tool to them!'
*Flashback over*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A Few Days Later
Su Zun said, "So, you want to leave?"
Li Gang nodded. "I will first go back to my home, and then I will leave for the Northern Continent. It is said that due to the lack of spiritual essence, the Northern Continent is the weakest of all. From what I know, the highest battle strength there is Rank 6. I want to go to the Northern Continent and start my journey to my goal from there. I will conquer the Northern Continent."
Su Zun sighed. "Alright."
Saying that, he threw a space ring. Li Gang caught it and checked. It had hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones and many alchemy resources.
Su Zun reminded him, "Don't forget to improve your alchemy talent! It will be helpful for you in starting your own business."
Li Gang nodded and then left for his room.After returning to his room, he packed everything into his space rings and took out his teleportation token.
His eyes glanced at the token deeply as he recalled Su Zun's words when he trained him a few years back.
'This token is not just meant for teleportation. Do you see the moon above? Remember this Zhang Hao, this token is one of the pieces of the key to open the Moon Inheritance! It is an inheritance that our ancestors set up with their sweat and blood. No one can interfere with it without the key, not even emperors! The real name of this token is Spatial Order. There are three other pieces: Temporal Order, Elemental Order, and Soul Order. If you find them and combine them, you will be able to inherit the Moon Inheritance. It's a pity the other three orders are in the Celestial Sect. If I take it from you, they would find out somehow. No great sect wants to keep it with them, or they will face the wrath of the Celestial Sect. The Sword Gate is the best example.'
Li Gang understood at that time why Jiang Fugui let him have this token.
Without wasting any more time, Li Gang used the Spatial Order, remembering his home. However, to his surprise, the token failed to teleport him. Not to mention, ten teleportation points were lost. Every time someone imagines a wrong place, which doesn't even exist to teleport, this happens.
Li Gang was surprised. 'How could it be?'
He tried again, this time remembering the waterfall where he used to train, and he succeeded. However, he was not happy. A great premonition overwhelmed him. He immediately ran towards Tranquil Vale Village.
Within just a few seconds, he arrived at the location. However, what he saw was indescribable. The whole village was razed to the ground. One couldn't see a single person there.
Seeing that, Li Gang immediately realized what had happened. It was the work of at least a Rank 7. The Li family was finished!
What feelings did Li Gang have? Fear? Sadness? Anger?
None! He glanced at everything calmly. Not even a drop of tear appeared in his eyes. Why was that? He loved his family. Despite that, he was surprisingly calm.
If one could see through his internal body, they would know the reason. His entire brain was bleeding internally. His mind had turned blank. Normally, he would keep his brain in an active state forever. However, at this time, his brain was completely blank. Not a single thought appeared in his brain. This is an abnormal state for a person, especially Li Gang.
Have you ever wondered what would happen if everyone stopped using electric appliances at the same time? Electricity is distributed on demand. The electricity is sent from the power plant based on demand, but if everyone stopped using it, it would cause heavy damage and may disrupt the entire system!
Similarly, Li Gang's brain was always in an active state, and suddenly it dropped so low that it was not even in a passive state, but instead in a completely blank state.
This caused heavy internal damage and even started bleeding. If this continued, he might die. However, at that very moment, something within his soul started shining.
Heaven's Hand Sect, Southern Continent
An old man in a deep slumber suddenly opened his eyes. He glanced in the southern direction and somewhat towards the east with his deep eyes that were filled with awe. 'What is that thing? Is it some sort of monster?'
He immediately left his abode and moved to a certain region.
In a Certain Area, Western Continent
A man in a black robe, standing over a mountain, suddenly looked towards the southeastern direction and murmured, "It feels ominous, and at the same time, it feels so giant and ethereal that I can't help but be in awe of it."
It was He Fan. He had already entered the Western Continent.
Beyond the Divine Spirit World
A certain being who had transcended the realm of humans opened his eyes.He sensed something and stood up. "I had wanted to let him grow up and reach Rank 8. But who would have thought he would be able to manifest 'it' as just a Rank 4 Warrior! I no longer need to scheme anything. For 'that' thing, I would interfere personally and grab it!"
He immediately waved his hand, and the entire Divine Spirit World started shaking. A huge hand appeared above the Southern Continent! It was visible from all the continents, whether it was the Northern Continent, Southern Continent, Eastern Continent, Western Continent, or Central Continent!
In the Western Continent, He Fan glanced at it and was shocked, 'The Southern Continent is over if this entity wants to destroy it. It seems something unexpected happened, it must be related to what I sensed earlier.'
Ji Hongtian was also alarmed and murmured, "Is that person making his move? What could force him to do so?"
Su Zun murmured, "Li Gang, huh! He also went to around the same place. Is he the cause? What did he do to force that person to make a move? I can feel my heart throbbing even from this distance!"
In the Northern Continent, a burly man sitting on a large throne was shocked at the sight. "What is that thing?! This pressure! Even from such a distance!"
No one in the Southern Continent at that moment could stand still, whether it was a king or a monarch!
They all bent down to show their respect, except for two people. One was Li Gang, who was under the effect of some unknown thing present in his soul. The other person?
A young girl in a blue robe was standing at the peak of the Azure Mountain. She glanced at the top and said lightly, "Go back, Immortal Zhu. Don't interfere with this 'World'. You are not allowed to!"
If Li Gang were here, he would have identified her. She was Wang Xueyao.
The man looked ethereal, but no one in the Divine Spirit World was capable of seeing him. He glanced at the girl and said with disdain, "So what? Even if I am not allowed to, I will still interfere. For that thing, I am ready to take any punishment. Do you think you can stop me? Don't make me laugh, even if I am an ant in front of you, your current self is just a CLONE, which has no connection with 'that' entity. Even if I kill you, you can't trace me as long as I get 'that' thing."
Wang Xueyao glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice, "This will be your last warning, Zhu. If you don't take it back, I will have to personally make a move. I already let you interfere once and had 'them' as your hostage! Don't cross your limit."
Immortal Zhu looked at her and said, "I will interfere today. No one can stop me. I must get that thing!"
It is well said, greed takes the sanity of a person. Even though he had transcended and had grown rational and smart, in front of a great treasure, he lost his sanity. It is also reasonable, considering how important 'it' is to him and how rare such a chance appears to an immortal!
Wang Xueyao said lightly, "Then prepare to face the consequences."
"Nine Absolute Seals: 6th Seal Open"
If one could see her soul, they would realize that it still had six chains binding her. She had eight seals before but as soon as she said that, two seals broke open consecutively, and her existence started fading away from the Divine Spirit Continent. However, did she really started fading?
At that moment, the whole Divine Spirit Continent started shaking even more terribly. Millions of people died due to the destruction of houses, millions more due to the tsunamis within just a few moments, and this count kept increasing.
Various inheritances that had been hidden started appearing, and at the same time, they exploded, causing even more casualties.
The death toll increased to billions in just a few tens of seconds, and it was still rising. The entire population of the Divine Spirit World was in chaos.
Cracks started appearing in the boundary that sealed off the Divine Spirit World. Not just in the boundary, but in fact, the whole Divine Spirit World was rupturing from within.
Rank 8s and Rank 7s who felt what was happening immediately knelt down in despair. Many religious people started praying to the gods they believed in. Many prayed towards the hand, begging it to retract.
