Chapter 1111 - 1115: Hidden World Factions
Not long after, at the peak of the Ninth Heaven, many silhouettes appeared within the thick tribulation clouds.
Each silhouette exuded an extremely terrifying aura.
Their lowest cultivation level reached the Immortal Emperor stage.
They operated immortal energy, resisting the tribulation force while struggling towards the inheritance secret realm, making slow progress and facing great difficulty.
After all, they were traversing through tribulation forces!
"Is this the tribulation force?"
At this moment, four streams of light flew into the tribulation force, with dazzling immortal light revealing supreme pressure, suppressing the terrifying tribulation force.
Qin Wudao wrapped the power of the Hongmeng Emperor Dao around his right hand, reached out to grab a strand of tribulation force, studied it for a moment, and discovered it was composed of four types of forces.
These were the forces of inauspiciousness, death, misfortune, and greed!
Each force.
Was a negative force.
"These tribulation forces are not simple! If contaminated too much, it will bring bad luck. Even strong like a Quasi-Saint have a risk of falling!"
Yu Qian sensed it and spoke solemnly.
Bai Qi and Lv Bu also had serious expressions, feeling their situation was extremely dangerous upon entering the tribulation cloud.
"Be careful!"
Qin Wudao advised as he flew forward.
The path was unobstructed.
Half a day later, Qin Wudao and his party arrived outside the inheritance site. At this moment, many powerful individuals had gathered, releasing strong auras and delineating domains.
Qin Wudao glanced and felt slightly surprised.
Because most of these powerful individuals were unfamiliar faces.
"Your Majesty, they should be from hidden forces!"
Yu Qian stepped forward and said softly.
Qin Wudao nodded without speaking and continued to walk forward.
Just then, a harsh voice rang out: "Stop, do you have any etiquette? Don’t you see this is my territory?"
Not far away, a middle-aged man stood up, dressed in green magnificent clothes, holding a fan, eyes sharp, with a face full of displeasure.
Tendrils of terrifying aura spread from his body, shattering the surrounding tribulation clouds.
Beside him were seven martial artists, eyes indifferent, aloof.
"Who are you?"
Qin Wudao asked coldly.
"Listen up, I am the Grand Elder of the Hehuan Sect, now get lost behind me!"
The middle-aged man was extremely arrogant, not taking Qin Wudao’s party seriously at all.
"How dare you defy His Majesty, death!"
Before Qin Wudao could speak, Lv Bu erupted in anger, stepped forward, eyes cold, drew forth his Fang Tian Hua Ji, and unleashed a terrifying aura that shook the surrounding void.
The huge commotion caught the attention of many strong individuals, who turned their heads, revealing a hint of astonishment.
"People of the Hehuan Sect?"
"Those four human warriors are in big trouble; I heard the cultivation of the Hehuan Sect’s Grand Elder reached the late Immortal Sovereign stage!"
"Three early-stage Immortal Sovereign martial artists have some strength but are definitely no match for the Hehuan Sect’s Grand Elder; they are doomed!"
The surrounding hidden strong individuals discussed, looking at Qin Wudao and the others with mockery and pity.
To hidden tribal groups, outside forces seemed more like natives.
After all, all hidden tribal groups have considerable strength, and having avoided the tribulation, focusing solely on cultivation, their strength naturally improved quickly.
Meanwhile, forces across the heavens and all realms displayed strange expressions, unable to help shaking their heads.
Trying to trouble the Qin Dynasty?
Isn’t this courting death?
Among the forces across the heavens and all realms, the Qin Dynasty ranks in the top three that must not be provoked.
"Such daring!"
The Hehuan Sect’s Grand Elder froze, then reacted, furious, trembling with anger, unable to believe that the natives of the heavens and all realms dared to defy him.
Death!
Must die!
"Desire Mirroring Realm!"
The Hehuan Sect’s Grand Elder roared, swiftly swinging his fan, an extreme desire Dao, producing countless strands of pink immortal energy, forming a domain of desire.
Vaguely, one could hear the breathing of women, stirring fantasies.
Many Immortal Emperor-level strong individuals merely glancing were lost within, unable to extricate themselves.
This move!
Is the Hehuan Sect’s sect-supreme study.
Once executed, it can evoke the deepest desires within a person, revealing obvious flaws, then kill them; it’s extremely eerie and defenseless.
"Slash!"
Lv Bu shouted, eyes defiant, raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji high, and powerfully slashed.
Boom!
A black-red trident energy manifested, containing the power of the Hongmeng ghost-god Dao, shattered the void, directly severing the domain of desire.
Many lost Immortal Emperor-level strong individuals regained clarity, faces full of fear.
Subsequently, they witnessed an unforgettable scene.
After the domain of desire was shattered, the trident energy’s power did not diminish, carried infinite sharpness, cutting the Hehuan Sect’s Grand Elder into two, blood spilling, generating a strand of tribulation force, surging into the tribulation clouds.
Then, a blood-red causal line emerged.
One end wrapped around Qin Wudao and the others; the other end vanished into the boundless world, its whereabouts unknown.
"What is this?"
Qin Wudao furrowed his brow, drew the Xuanyuan Sword, and forcefully slashed down but couldn’t sever the red line, instead passing directly through it.
"This is a causal line, it’s unbreakable!"
At this moment, a man in a white long robe, with an elegant demeanor, holding an ancient zither, approached Qin Wudao, smiling.
"Causal line?"
Qin Wudao was pensive.
Whatever the cause, it produces the effect.
Originally, the Qin Dynasty and Hehuan Sect had no intersection, but after Lv Bu killed the Hehuan Sect’s Grand Elder, they had an intersection, generating a cause and effect, and it’s a bad cause.
With a bad cause, it means the two sides become enemies.
But one thing he couldn’t understand was that normally Qin had killed many people and extinguished many forces; why hadn’t a causal line formed?
"Whenever a tribulation descends, all forces participating will see a causal line appear!"
"Its presence mainly serves a promotional role, like, for example, in non-tribulation periods, you might still mediate after killing the Hehuan Sect’s Grand Elder, but now, it’s nearly impossible to resolve the conflict!"
"Unless, one side dies!"
"Only then can the cause and effect be severed!"
Seeing Qin Wudao’s puzzlement, the zither-holding man explained.
Qin Wudao felt a chill in his heart after listening.
This causal line is really too sinister!
"Is there any other way to sever the causal line besides death?" Qin Wudao curiously asked.
The zither-holding man shook his head: "There is! It’s rumored breaking through the Dao Saint realm can avoid causal entanglement!"
Dao Saint!
Too far away!
Qin Wudao shook his head, no longer dwelling on this issue, cupped his fist and said: "Qin Dynasty, Qin Wudao, may I ask who you are?"
"Qin Sect, Bai Zhiyin!"
The zither-holding man introduced himself and said, "The inheritance secret realm is about to open, farewell for now!"
After speaking, he bowed slightly and turned to leave.
Every movement revealed nobility, like a gentleman stepping out of a painting.
"Qin Sect!"
Qin Wudao murmured.
He had some impression of this sect, it existed since before the Azure Ancient Era, with an enduring legacy and strong power.
Even during the Sky-Breaking Era, when the Human Emperor initiated the ’Sky-Breaking War,’ it didn’t affect this sect.
