Ch. 41Giving Them a Proper Taste
The Nine Heavens Pavilion threatened Eastern Wasteland cultivators at Saint King Yunteng's Tomb and slaughtered those who resisted. The Supreme Sword Sect's patriarch arrived to challenge Su Bowen, while wondering how the Primordial Hall's presence had changed the balance of power.
- The palace from the Nine Heavens Pavilion ordered Eastern Wasteland cultivators to leave Saint King Yunteng's Tomb and mocked them for seeking a Saint King's inheritance.
- An elderly Radiant Body Realm cultivator and others protested that the tomb lay in the Eastern Wasteland, but the palace's pressure crushed them and killed those who had spoken up.
- The Nine Heavens Pavilion gave the remaining cultivators three breaths to leave, leaving them prostrate and terrified.
- The Supreme Sword Sect's patriarch arrived in the Sainthood Realm, prompting the fallen cultivators to cheer for an Eastern Wasteland Saint.
- Su Bowen emerged from the palace and taunted the patriarch, who angrily denied that the Supreme Sword Sect sought to rule the Eastern Wasteland.
- The patriarch recalled that the Primordial Hall existed in the Eastern Wasteland and worried that failing to show resolve could cost his sect its remaining members; Su Bowen wondered whether the Hall Master explained the patriarch's attitude.
