Clear Sky Sect, Council Hall. If he did not still need to maintain the dignity of a sect master, Tang Xiao truly wanted to howl at the sky, just like his name.
He never could have imagined that his grandfather would encounter such a tremendous opportunity. He had entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands less than a day ago, yet he had already obtained a Cultivation Method from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
If Grandfather returned, would that not mean the Clear Sky Sect could cultivate the methods of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands as well?
And if, among the Chosen Ones who went to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, Grandfather was the only one who survived, then once he returned, who in the entire Douluo Continent could stand against the Clear Sky Sect after it cultivated the methods of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands?
Forget Qian Daoliu, the Peerless Douluo from Spirit Hall who was said to be Invincible in the Sky—even the legendary gods probably would not be Grandfather's match!
By then, the Clear Sky Sect would truly become the Number One Sect Under Heaven. No one could shake it, and no one could contend against it!
At the thought of this, Tang Xiao's face twisted.
He was holding it in too hard...
"Sect Master, if you want to laugh, then laugh. If you do not, everyone is having a hard time holding it in."
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! The good days of the Clear Sky Sect are coming!"
"One year, just one year! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA..."
Holy Soul Village. Tang Hao's face was likewise filled with joy.
If Grandfather returned safely in a year, he would no longer need to fear Spirit Hall and could return to the Clear Sky Sect!
He could even bring San'er with him!
"Hmph, Spirit Hall, just wait! I, Tang Hao, will make you pay!"
Shrek Academy. Tang San was equally excited.
He had thought of the same thing as Tang Xiao and Tang Hao. He knew perfectly well that as long as Grandfather survived the year and returned safely, then by that time...
What garbage Martial Souls? What Soul Power Cultivation Method? Get lost, all of you!
I want to cultivate the methods of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!
The thought alone made Tang San tremble uncontrollably.
"San Ge, are you all right?"
As Tang San's closest companion, Xiao Wu noticed his unusual behavior immediately and hurriedly asked with concern.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm very well, nothing is wrong."
Forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, Tang San raised his head again and looked toward the Light Screen.
"Xiao Wu, our top priority is to learn as much as possible about the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. We cannot be distracted."
"Mm."
Xiao Wu nodded and turned her gaze back to the Light Screen as well. However, before long, both of their expressions became somewhat strange. They had discovered that Dai Mubai seemed to be in trouble!
Dai Mubai felt that he was both fortunate and unfortunate.
Fortunately, he had landed in the Imperial Capital of an Ancient Kingdom in the Yellow Region. As the Imperial Capital of an Ancient Kingdom, its safety needed no explanation. At the very least, his life was not in danger.
As for the unfortunate part...
Perhaps it was punishment for spending the first half of his life chasing skirts, and now his most important second brother was about to leave him!
Because a grand eunuch from the Imperial Palace had taken a liking to him!
Yes, that was right—taken a liking to him. The man wanted Dai Mubai to become his successor!
"Let me go! I, Dai Mubai, refuse to become a eunuch! Let me go!!!"
"Help! Is there anyone who can save me? Help!"
"I'm the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire! I can't become a eunuch!"
If the earlier words had left these eunuchs escorting Dai Mubai to the Eunuch's Quarters unmoved, then that final sentence made them stop instinctively.
"Grand eunuch, he said he is the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire. Then we..."
Upon hearing this, the grand eunuch who had taken a liking to Dai Mubai casually waved his hand. A sharp burst of finger force shot out and instantly blasted him to death.
In an instant, the other eunuch and the surrounding guards all froze in place, not daring to move at all for fear that this grand eunuch would kill them with a burst of finger force as well.
The grand eunuch stepped forward and casually immobilized Dai Mubai, who was desperately trying to flee.
"He says he is some Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire, and that makes him the Third Prince? I say I'm the Fire Emperor of Fire Country. Do you believe me?"
"Within the Eight Regions, who knows how many dynasties are born and how many are destroyed every day? Only Ancient Kingdoms with long-standing inheritances like ours stand eternally, indestructible!"
"As long as it is not an Ancient Kingdom, I do not care about any of the other nations. Forget some mere prince—even their emperor means nothing to this grand eunuch! Anger me, and I'll kill without mercy!"
Boom—!
In an instant, terrifying pressure soared into the sky and engulfed Dai Mubai, shaking him so badly that he nearly lost consciousness.
Dai Mubai swore that from the day he was born until now, he had never felt terror like this!
It was the fear that naturally rose from the depths of one's soul when a creature at the bottom of the food chain faced a dominant predator at the very top!
It left him completely unable to even entertain the thought of resisting!
"Kid, being able to follow this grand eunuch in cultivation is your honor. In the Eight Regions, not many can contend with me. You are lucky that I have taken a liking to you."
"Besides, it is only your Pure Root. What is the big deal? It will let you cultivate in peace. Once you reach this grand eunuch's realm, regrowing a mere Pure Root will be easy!"
The Sword-Wielding Grand Eunuch wore an arrogant expression.
As one of the Eight Grand Eunuchs who protected the Green Emperor of Green Country, the Sword-Wielding Grand Eunuch possessed combat strength at the peak of the Array Realm. The Killing Array inscribed within his body was exceptionally formidable, forming one-eighth of Green Country's strongest Killing Array. Even without joining forces with the other seven great swords, he was among the strongest Array Realm experts beneath the Venerable Realm!
As an Array Realm cultivator, his vitality was incomparably vigorous. As long as he wished it, regrowing a mere Pure Root would take only minutes!
Moreover, the Eight Regions possessed countless Treasure Techniques. Some could grant cultivators terrifying recovery speeds in an extremely short time. Regrowing a severed limb was nothing at all!
For example, the Heaven Mending Technique of the Heaven Mending Sect!
Seeing that Dai Mubai still wore a resistant expression, the Sword-Wielding Grand Eunuch's face darkened. With a casual wave, his powerful finger force instantly blasted Dai Mubai's Pure Root into a cloud of blood mist. At the same time, terrifying blood and vitality surged skyward like beacon smoke. In an instant, the surrounding temperature rose by several hundred degrees, and the air nearly boiled.
Although the Sword-Wielding Grand Eunuch's blood and vitality were released and withdrawn in an instant, Dai Mubai's hair was completely scorched by then. Even the skin on the front of his body had been seared into carbon by that furnace-like blood and vitality!
That naturally included the wound where his Pure Root had been, which had just been bleeding nonstop.
Before Dai Mubai could even scream in agony, the successive waves of excruciating pain had completely knocked him unconscious.
At that moment, everyone in the Douluo Continent could not help turning their heads away.
Though the so-called Chosen Ones of the Douluo Continent had died in all sorts of ways today, Dai Mubai's experience was unprecedented: including his wound, the surface of his entire body had been roasted alive into charred black.
How painful must that have been...
Truly, being alive was worse than dying!
