Floating Immortal Order

Chapter 92: Misty Lightwood

Chapter 92: Misty Lightwood

“Is Xu Disheng here?” A white-clothed youth asked, standing outside Morning Dew Peak’s circle of light at the Green Lotus Domain. He was only at the peak Sea of Qi stage, but he had an indescribable air of dignity and pride flowing about him.

“Good to see that you’re doing well, Senior Martial Brother He,” Lu Zimo greeted, stepping forward with a smile. “Did you and Xu….Junior Martial Brother Xu know each other?”

“He Junyu? What is he doing over at Morning Dew Peak’s place?”

“In this tournament, He Junyu is second only to those several geniuses who are at the half-step Dao Foundation stage. Maybe he has a problem with that disciple who ranked a little past 5,000th and still got 100 spirit stones?”

The disciples of Morning Dew Peak whispered among themselves as they looked over in their direction.

He Junyu swept a rough glance over the crowd. Not seeing Xu Disheng, his brows unconsciously furrowed.

Lu Zimo stood there awkwardly, a somewhat stiff expression on his face.

“He Junyu, what’s the matter?”

There was only one Dao Foundation stage Deacon from Morning Dew Peak present at the moment, by the name of Tan Min. Seeing Lu Zimo in a tough spot, he had no choice but to speak up.

He Junyu glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. Only after seeing that it was someone at the Dao Foundation stage who addressed him did he open his mouth to reply. “What, I have a personal matter to attend to,” he said in an aloof manner.

Tan Min smiled and replied, “No problem, you can go ahead with that.”

But inwardly, he had already cursed He Junyu a thousand times over.

Who said he could be this arrogant just because his father is a Divine Core stage Spirit Master? Tan Min thought to himself, silently venting his anger.

However, he would definitely never dare to say that out loud. Just what kind of person was the Celestial Tide Spirit Master, He Wenshu? Tan Min was just an insignificant Dao Foundation stage cultivator. The Celestial Tide Spirit Master could crush him with a single finger if he wanted to.

He Junyu shook his head. Just as he was about to leave, he looked up and saw two people land in the Green Lotus Domain off in the distance and were currently in the process of having their jade identity tablets checked.

One of them was none other than Xu Disheng, the person that he had met at Spiritual Medicine Pavilion who also cultivated the Azure Ocean cultivation method.

He Junyu hopped on a Magic Treasure sword of light and flew directly over to the edge of the domain.

In the Green Lotus Domain, flying was forbidden. However… Because of his identity as the son of a Divine Core stage Spirit Master, the Disciplinary Hall disciples would turn a blind eye to him flying a little bit, especially since it wasn’t time for the main tournament yet.

“Xu Disheng?” He Junyu asked in a confident tone. His sword of light was extremely fast, so he arrived in front of Xu Disheng in no time at all.

“Senior Martial Brother He?” Bai Zhehua said, astonished. He Junyu was one of the top ranking geniuses in the Mingxin Mountain Range, so Bai Zhehua definitely knew of him.

He Junyu didn’t even spare him a glance, only directing his gaze at Xu Disheng as he spoke, “I saw you once at the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion a while ago. Afterwards, I had people investigate the matter and found that Qingxin had been banished to the Secret Realms. That Azure Ocean cultivation method, was it given to you by him?”

Xu Disheng had previously purchased a jade slip that recorded the portraits and introductions of the Sea of Qi stage geniuses of the Mingxin Mountain Range, so he knew that this person was the son of the Celestial Tide Spirit Master, He Wenshu. After thinking for a moment, he replied, “That’s right.”

He Junyu nodded slowly as if he was sizing up Xu Disheng. “Demonstrate it for me.”

Xu Disheng raised his gaze slightly to look at him and replied, “I’ve only cultivated it up to the Summon Rain form.”

He nonchalantly made a hand symbol in his left hand, causing a cyan droplet of water to appear in midair, emitting a strong aura of corrosion.

“The Corrosion Incantation? The Summon Rain form can be used like this?” He Junyu muttered in surprise. He also condensed a raindrop, but as it revolved in midair with a pure aura of profound qi, it appeared entirely different. It was clear and transparent and clad in a concentrated water elemental energy.

“You were once the disciple of Qingxin, so you can be considered to have some karmic ties with my father. If you ever need something in the future, you can come find me,” He Junyu said curtly. He didn’t speak further, simply tossing over a message jade slip before riding his Magic Treasure sword of light off into the distance.

Bai Zhehua watched the sword of light as it disappeared off into the distance, his tone filled with envy and admiration. “That’s Senior Martial Brother He’s top-grade Magic Treasure, the Light Cloud Sword. Earlier, when I saw you use the Azure Ocean cultivation method, I guessed that you might have history with the Celestial Tide Spirit Master, but I didn’t think it was really true. Junior Martial Brother Xu, you’ve really been giving me one surprise after another,” Bai Zhehua said.

Xu Disheng grabbed hold of the jade slip, seeming to recall the past events that occurred in the Chu Territory. After a moment, he came back to his senses and replied indifferently, “The Azure Ocean cultivation method… was just something given to me by someone else. It’s nothing to boast about.”

The image of Daoist Lord Qingxin flashed through his mind as he thought back to Daoist Lord Qingxin’s mood at the time. He could tell from this that perhaps he wasn’t as indifferent as he always appeared to be.

Xu Disheng had been in his pagoda at the time, and was about to step down the stairs.

“Hold on, take this cultivation method to protect yourself.”

Daoist Lord Qingxin seemed to have pondered for a long time before tossing over that jade slip.

Perhaps he had been hesitant.

But he was someone who was a banished disciple, a Sea of Qi stage cultivator, and an outer disciple who hadn’t even passed the Mountain Entry Examination. As someone who even had to pay 1 spirit stone to ride on Daoist Lord Shangyuan’s Spirit Cloud to get to the Central Imperial Province… What could he pass down? What could he even offer to his disciple?

Even Daoist Lord Qingyu had given Xu Disheng his Muddy Heart Jade, which he had received from the sect, as a gift.

Daoist Lord Qingxin had been framed by someone else and trapped inside this cage, and was now all alone in this world.

All he had on him that he could offer was the complete Azure Ocean cultivation method.

… …

Two days passed by in the blink of an eye.

In the center of the Green Lotus Domain, 10 giant arenas had already been set up. Each of the arenas was around 100 meters in diameter and was covered in a barrier of light.

The three great suns rose up into the morning sky, casting golden sunlight off the surface of Lotus Lake.

The brilliant sunlight shone upon the seemingly bottomless water of the lake, causing scintillating waves of light to reflect forth. Rippling halos of light gleamed off the surface of the water, bathing the Green Lotus Domain in a beautiful shade of gold.

The massive spirit beast turtle, covered in clouds and mist, was still floating over the nearby adjacent Mingxin Peak, high above the Green Lotus Domain.

Upon the chariots, the Killing Heart Spirit Master, Yu Xingchao, said, “At 10 AM, the Sea of Qi stage main tournament will begin. Peak Master Tao, you will be the host.”

Although his voice wasn’t loud, it resonated throughout the entire Green Lotus Domain, causing all of the whispering disciples to immediately quiet down.

Next to him, there was a middle-aged man standing respectfully in attendance. He bowed and said, “As you command, Killing Heart Spirit Master.” He was none other than the Peak Master of the 29th ranked Piling Peak, Tao Yuanbai.

Tao Yuanbai went forward and stood on the shoulder of the giant spirit beast turtle. He looked down at the entire Green Lotus Domain below and announced in a clear voice, “Ten opponents will be randomly selected each time to come forward and take on their opponent from the top 10 rankers.”

He gazed at the several hundred circles of light containing several tens of thousands of disciples and continued, “Ranks 1 to 10 in the first match of the Sea of Qi division, please proceed to the arenas.”

When he finished speaking, several brilliant rays flew out from the circles of light and went to each of the ten arenas.

The person who placed 5th in the first match was none other than He Junyu, the son of the Celestial Tide Spirit Master.

Tao Yuanbai swept his left hand through the void, causing a light screen to appear next to the giant turtle. On the screen, there were 10 numbers.

Tao Yuanbai glanced over at those numbers and said, “8,650th place, 9,700th place, 6,400th place, 3,536th place… These 10 people, please proceed to the arenas and challenge your respective opponents.”

The 10 disciples that had their names selected slowly flew up to the arenas with grim expressions on their faces.

Everyone knew that the probability of being picked first out of the 10,000 people to go against the top ranked geniuses was incredibly small. However, as soon as they were selected, they had no choice but to accept that this was the end of the road for their run in this tournament.

Next to each of the 10 arenas, there was a Dao Foundation stage Deacon standing guard.

On the first place arena….

Yu Yangyao stood with his hands behind his back, indifferently watching the disciple fly over on his Spirit Cloud.

Just as the Dao Foundation stage Deacon in charge of the arena was about to announce the start of the match…

“Wait a moment! Senior Martial Brother Yu, Lord Deacon, I concede!” the disciple exclaimed, not even getting off his Spirit Cloud. After cupping his hands in salute towards the Dao Foundation stage Deacon, he immediately flew off on his Spirit Cloud.

The disciples in the audience all hissed and booed.

“Rank 1 vs. Rank 8,500, match set. Rank 1 victory,” the Deacon announced as he recorded it down in the record jade slip.

The same thing happened in the other arenas. It was only in the third place arena that the rank 640 disciple sent out a move to try and test the strength of Ke Yue, who had placed 3rd in the first match.

Ke Yue was at the half-step Dao Foundation stage, and he was also a disciple of the Celestial Tide Spirit Master. He was considered among the top 4 geniuses in the Mingxin Mountain Range. He was about on par with Bai Zhaoyun and second only to Yu Yangyao and Jian Liangbi.

However, he would occasionally receive veiled criticism simply because he originally came from the Secret Realms. Now that there was actually someone openly looking down on him, Ke Yue couldn’t help feeling a bit of anger rising within him.

With a casual wave of his hand, a mundane-looking withered branch flew out and crashed into the disciple, sending him flying several hundred meters out. The disciple landed in Lotus Lake, his life or death uncertain.
