This Is Too Cowardly

The man in the black robe understood that behind the Sun Moon Divine Cult's talk of peace lay a great conspiracy!

Their kind of Supreme Dao Holy Land only cared about their own reputation. It would be best if they could salvage it.

But if he refused to cooperate, they would definitely find ways to kill him to save face for the Holy Land and let the world know that the Sun Moon Divine Cult was not to be trifled with!

However, would he be afraid?

Heh!

The man in the black robe flicked his sleeve, and a powerful Dao technique concealed the surrounding world. In the distant view, the mountain peak where he stood suddenly disappeared.

After doing this, the man in the black robe took out a Sound Transmission Stone, removed its seal, and carefully wrapped it with his concealing power before transmitting his message, lest it be intercepted.

"Sonny? Sonny? It's your dad!"

"..."

"Sonny? It's your old man, answer if you receive this!"

"..."

Strangely, the Sound Transmission Stone, which always answered, remained silent this time.

Hua Yunfei's end didn't respond, or rather, his transmission couldn't get through at all.

The man in the black robe frowned. Strange, this had never happened before.

The Sound Transmission Stone in Hua Yunfei's hand was very special. Any divine sense paired with that Sound Transmission Stone could transmit messages regardless of the distance, as long as it was still within the Big Dipper Star.

It could be said that the distance was terrifying. The Big Dipper Star was so vast that an ordinary cultivator would never reach its end even if they flew their entire lives!

"This kid, could he be cultivating for the first time in ages?"

The man in the black robe shook his head. "No, he must have gone somewhere like a secret realm. It's very difficult for the divine sense in my Sound Transmission Stone to get through."

He then gave up trying to contact Hua Yunfei and turned to leave.

Space-Time Divine Realm.

After soaking in the large vat for a day and sensing the marvelous effects of the Immortal River Water, Hua Yunfei, along with the vat, opened the portal to the Space-Time Divine Realm for the first time.

Cultivating inside could save time!

One day in the outside world was equivalent to thirty days inside!

Inside the cave dwelling, only a token was suspended. However, if someone entered the cave dwelling without careful investigation, they wouldn't be able to see the token at all.

This was because the token appeared to be there, but in reality, it was in space-time!

This was the token's self-protection mechanism after the host entered the Space-Time Divine Realm.

Within the Space-Time Divine Realm, there was nothing special, just a colorful world that stretched as far as the eye could see.

No wonder the System said that cultivating here for too long would lead to getting lost and memory loss.

A place like this, with only dazzling colors, placed an immense burden on the eyes.

Even if one didn't look directly, after a long time, their spirit would become fatigued, their divine sense would be invaded by the laws of time, until their memories were erased.

As an aspiring youth of the Cowardly Path, Hua Yunfei didn't care about any of this.

Having cultivated in the Space-Time Divine Realm for over three months, he suddenly opened his eyes and walked out naked. He looked at his fair and clean body and nodded with satisfaction.

As expected of Immortal River Water, even he had benefited greatly.

Not only had his already perfect physique been further strengthened, but he had also comprehended three strands of Immortal Qi laws from the Immortal River Water.

These three strands of Immortal Qi laws were extremely powerful and unlike anything found in the mortal world. Once used, they could be used for both offense and defense, making them powerful for both survival and attack.

Hua Yunfei liked them very much, especially their defensive capabilities, which deeply pleased him!

Boom!

Suddenly, he felt the bottleneck of his cultivation realm within his body loosen. It was becoming uncontrollable, and he was about to break through.

But breaking through a major realm required enduring a tribulation!

"Looks like I need to go out for a trip!"

"Tribulating in the sect is too dangerous."

Hua Yunfei opened the seal and stepped out of the Space-Time Divine Realm. Immediately, his Sound Transmission Stone began to flash, indicating that someone had sent him a message.

He took out the Sound Transmission Stone, and the words "Sonny, sonny, it's your dad" came from within.

"Old man?"

Hua Yunfei raised an eyebrow. What did he want with him? He then sent his divine sense into it, attempting to communicate with Hua Cangqiong.

Soon, Hua Cangqiong connected, but his tone was urgent: "Sonny, hurry and save your dad, someone's going to die!"

Hua Yunfei frowned. The Sound Transmission Stone was filled with sounds of the heavens and earth shattering, extremely piercing. It seemed that powerful beings were fighting, with earth-shattering momentum.

He hadn't known about the events at the Sun Moon Divine Cult during his few days of cultivation, nor did he know what audacious things Hua Cangqiong had done.

"What are you doing? Why is there such a huge commotion?" Hua Yunfei asked.

Hua Cangqiong's tone was urgent, "I'm being chased, do you even know what that means?"

"It's a Saint Realm expert chasing your dad."

Upon hearing this, Hua Yunfei wasn't worried. He knew very well how capable his old man was. He said, "Stop pretending. Are you hiding somewhere the other party can't find you, and now you're freaking out because they're carpet-bombing the area?"

"Uh..."

"You figured it out already?"

"Hahaha!"

Hua Cangqiong's tone immediately became relaxed. He then described the events of the past few days to Hua Yunfei, chuckling as he said, "A few days ago, at the peak of Qingming Mountain, they waited for me for a long time... then they found out I went to the Sun Moon Divine Cult to raid their home. They were almost pissed to death."

"Although they were prepared and brought out a few Half-Saint level Old Ancestors to guard, they were no match for my immense power. I beat them back into their shells, forcing them to confront me within their defensive formations."

"By the time the Sun Moon Cult Master returned with an Emperor Weapon, I was long gone."

"Enraged, they brought out a Saint Realm Old Ancestor, someone named Ancestor Luoning, I think. He was once a prominent figure in the Eastern Domain, and he's the one chasing me now."

"Luckily, I'm well hidden and have many treasures that conceal me. Each time, I managed to evade his deductions."

"Now he's going around in a frenzy!"

After hearing Hua Cangqiong's description, Hua Yunfei couldn't help but smile wryly. His father was incorrigible, powerful, loved to scheme, yet appeared to be a brute – truly the epitome of a 'cowardly' strategist.

"What? With your power, why don't you just kill that Ancestor Luoning?" Hua Yunfei asked.

Of course, he was just joking. Ancestor Luoning was a Saint Realm expert, very difficult to kill. Besides, Hua Cangqiong's strength probably wasn't Saint Realm yet.

However, he wasn't sure of Hua Cangqiong's true strength after thirty years away from the sect.

Hua Cangqiong scoffed dismissively and said, "Killing a Saint carries too much karma. Afterward, if the Sun Moon Divine Cult uses an Emperor Weapon to deduce my whereabouts, it would be very difficult for me to escape. My identity would surely be exposed then."

A Saint's wrath could cause the deaths of billions across vast distances!

In this current Age of Dharma's End, Saints were the supreme beings of Heaven and Earth. Their every word and action naturally formed the Great Dao.

Even speaking with a Saint Realm existence could incur immense karma.

If Hua Cangqiong rashly killed Ancestor Luoning, and then the Sun Moon Divine Cult brought out another Saint Realm Old Ancestor to deduce his location with an Emperor Weapon, he might not be able to escape!

In this world, karma cycled. Once one incurred great karma, it became difficult to escape the pursuit of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!

Hua Yunfei smiled slightly, thinking about his upcoming trip.

"If you really have the capability, then kill him. I'm about to leave the sect for a while. I'll handle the karma issue."

Upon hearing this, Hua Cangqiong suddenly fell silent.

Hua Yunfei asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just sharpening my weapon. Gotta make it shine brighter, makes for a cleaner cut!"

"Beep!"

Hua Cangqiong hung up. At the very end, Hua Yunfei heard him exclaim, "Little brat Luoning, your grandpa is coming for you!"

Hua Yunfei muttered, "Could this guy have actually become a Saint? How old is he?"

He had only been joking with Hua Cangqiong earlier, but he hadn't expected him to take it seriously!

And it seemed he actually had the strength for it?

"This is too much of a Cowardly Path. If Uncle Yun Tian and the others knew, they'd be utterly ashamed. They're a hundred thousand miles behind him when it comes to the Cowardly Path!"

"Dad's public facade is only Heavenly Human Realm!"
