Chapter 1413 - The Trespasser Does Not Stop When Told
There was a piece of snow-white ginseng within the jade box. It was only about the size of a thumb, but from it flowed a dense waterfall of immortal light.
Even more shockingly, the wisps of immortal light interwove to form human figures barely an inch tall. Some shook their heads and chanted sutras, while others danced about, and still others somersaulted through the air...
They were like spirits, vivid and lifelike.
When the Divine Replenishment Furnace drew close, the little people were so scared that they transformed back into immortal light and fused back into the snow-white ginseng.
A soothing medicinal fragrance permeated the air.
Su Yi couldn’t help but look impressed. This is unquestionably a rare immortal medicine, the type that can only be happened upon by chance! A natural treasure of the Immortal Dao!
One look at the Divine Replenishment Furnace’s obvious impatience, and it was obvious how extraordinary the ginseng was.
Meanwhile, the purple immortal light within the Divine Replenishment Furnace interwove, and a line of text floated into view.
“Nine Wonders Immortal Ginseng, an immortal medicinal ingredient. It can forge immortal roots, quench immortal sense, refine immortal origin, and fuse into immortal flesh. This medicine grows in wondrous and mysterious lands and can only be picked by Immortal Lords.
“Even immortals would drool over a piece like this one. If I refine it with a hundred types of Transcendent medicinal ingredients to supplement its power, I can produce Nine Wonders Heaven’s Origin Pills!”
...After reading all this, Su Yi couldn’t help but sigh. “Daoist Master Red Cloud really is generous.”
This was a treasure only an Immortal Lord could pick, yet here she’d gone and given it away. How was that in any way ordinary?
In the end, Su Yi decided to give all his spoils and the Nine Wonders Immortal Ginseng to the Divine Replenishment Furnace.
It could refine medicinal ingredients into pills and divine materials into treasures.
It could even melt and refine pre-existing immortal treasures!
It seems that when the time comes for me to step onto the Path of Transcendence, I’ll have no need to fear lacking sufficient resources to establish my foundations. The Sword of the Human Realm can undergo further refinements, too....
......
On the Isle of Ten Thousand Stars was the ancestral garden of the Wen Family, one of the Ancient Guardian Clans of the Dao.
It looked like an island, but in truth, it was an ancient hidden realm! The Wen Family had lived there for generations.
As one of the greatest factions of the stars, the Wen Family’s foundations were incomparably ancient, and they had the strength to gaze down on the world with pride.
The first group of modern experts to step onto the Path of Transcendence had included a full eight members of the Wen Family!
That aside, they’d established an alliance with a top ancient orthodoxy, the Red City Daoist Sect!
Whoosh!
A treasure ship cut through the sky, appearing not far from the Isle of Ten Thousand Stars.
Su Yi then walked overboard, leading Qing Tang.
The Isle of Ten Thousand Stars wasn’t in an ocean. Rather, it floated beneath the firmament, bathed in a sea of clouds. Everything within one hundred thousand feet of it was covered in layer upon layer of ancient formations.
As soon as the treasure ship appeared, it drew attention from Wen Family experts.
“Stop right there, whoever you are, and tell us your name!” bellowed a golden-robed figure, leaping up from the Isle of Ten Thousand Stars. He was obviously a guard of sorts, and his cultivation base was unexceptional.
Su Yi paid him no heed at all. He just put away the treasure ship and said to Qing Tang, “Stick close to me. All you need to do is watch.”
Qing Tang nodded obediently.
Su Yi then continued straight toward the Isle of Ten Thousand Stars. From beginning to end, he paid the golden-robed man no heed whatsoever.
“Brazen!!” the golden-robed man roared in fury. This was the Wen Family’s territory, yet now, someone was attempting to barge in!
However, the golden-robed man made no attempt to stop them. The surrounding area was covered in terrifying killing formations, thirty-six types in total. They were enough to kill even Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings!
Furthermore, even Transcendents would find themselves trapped and unable to extricate themselves quickly!
Indeed, as Su Yi approached, one of the formations blanketing the Isle of Ten Thousand Stars started circulating with a boom, stirring up appalling currents of destructive power.
Su Yi just strolled straight ahead, not even bothering to look at them.
He took a step, and as his foot fell...
Boom!
Heaven and earth shook violently. A terrifying, overbearing power swept outward, shattering the formation. The talisman markings filling the sky popped like soap bubbles and disappeared.
The golden-robed man reacted as if he’d been struck by lightning. He was scared out of his wits, and he almost dared not believe his eyes.
With every step Su Yi took, one formation after another broke, and the entire stretch of sky caved in.
Heaven collapsed, the earth fell, and the formations broke.
Su Yi continued entirely unperturbed, as if he were on a stroll through his own backyard and there were no one else around!
Qing Tang followed just behind him, taking all of this in. Her starry eyes couldn’t hide her astonishment.
She’d long since borne witness to her master’s strength, but seeing it now, she was nonetheless surprised. He was just too forceful and overbearing!
Those formations might as well not have even been there!
When Su Yi was less than ten thousand feet from the Isle of Ten Thousand Stars, a clamor of voices rang out.
“Brazen!”
“Who dares barge into Wen Family territory?”
“Quick, let’s go see who it is!”
Arc after arc of light shot from the Isle of Ten Thousand Stars accompanying these infuriated voices. Their leader was a middle-aged man in purple. His gaze was clear and thoroughly majestic.
This was the head of the Wen Family, Wen Bohong!
A group of Wen Family higher-ups followed him, more than twenty in total. Them aside, several elders, deacons, and other such figures were startled into action.
There were an enormous number of them. Together, they were incredibly powerful! Furthermore, all of them were visibly infuriated, as if they couldn’t even imagine who could possibly be so brazen as to force their way into Wen Family territory. How was that any different from throwing their life away?
Who didn’t know that the Wen Family was among the greatest of present-day factions? And who didn’t know that they’d long since established an alliance with the Red City Daoist Sect?
But when they saw the blue-robed figure standing beneath the firmament, the initial clamor of noise abruptly disappeared, replaced by a sudden, deathly silence.
Wen Bohong and the experts under his leadership stepped in their tracks, their eyes wide, round, and full of disbelief.
Even the birds ceased their song.
The air seemed to have solidified, making it a struggle to breathe.
“Family head, that’s the trespasser!” the golden-robed man shouted. His voice was particularly jarring against the deathly silence.
Whap!
A Wen Family old-timer lashed out, sending the man in golden robes flying. He immediately fell unconscious.
“Blind fool! You failed to recognize the Temple Master of all people? You ought to die for that!” The old-timer who’d slapped him shouted, his face full of rage.
Meanwhile, Family Head Wen Bohong took a deep breath, smiled, and clasped his fist in greeting. “You honor us with your presence, Temple Master. Please forgive us for not coming to welcome you earlier.”
The others hurriedly greeted him as well.
Word of the battle of Mount Luowu had long since spread throughout the star realms. How could the Wen Family possibly not have heard about it?
Thus, when they saw Su Yi here now, although the Wen Family higher-ups were confused, all of them suppressed their bluster and respectfully averted their gazes. 𝗳re𝗲𝚠e𝐛n𝗼v𝗲l.c𝐨𝐦
No one would dare to treat him with disrespect!
Su Yi looked at Wen Bohong and said coolly, “I’ll be direct. I’ve come to get revenge for the Jiang Family.”
“Your Excellency, I think you might be confused. The Jiang Family’s demise had nothing to do with the Wen Family,” a white-robed elder said gravely.
Su Yi put one hand behind his back. With the other, he held a jug of wine.
He said casually, “I finally slew the Tailor yesterday. Are you sure you want to deny your involvement in the Jiang Family’s destruction?”
The Tailor was dead!
Wen Bohong and the others’ expressions shifted. They looked at each other, their hearts full of uncertainty.
“Temple Master, the Wen Family has never once offended you, yet today, countless years after the Jiang Family’s demise, you’ve shown up to avenge them. It’s truly difficult to understand,” that white-robed elder spoke once more. “Forgive my boldness, but I’d like to ask... why?”
Su Yi pointed at Qing Tang. “She’s my disciple, and her surname is Jiang.”
One sentence, and the atmosphere was abruptly stifled. Wen Bohong and the others obviously understood the implications.
The white-robed old man smiled bitterly. “Your Excellency, there’s surely been a misunderstanding. Perhaps the Tailor deceived you? Because the Jiang Family’s demise truly had nothing to do with us. With the heavens as my witness, I swear we weren’t involved!”
Su Yi said calmly, “No need for oaths. You can just come here and let me search your soul.”
The white-robed elder’s expression froze in place. He forced a smile and said, “Your Excellency, that joke isn’t at all funny.”
Su Yi couldn’t be bothered to discuss the matter any further. He just stretched out his hand and grabbed from afar.
Bang!
“You...” The white-robed old man’s expression shifted abruptly.
“Temple Master! Are you trying to cast aside all pretenses of cordiality with the Wen Family?” Wen Bohong’s face was ashen, and he roared in fury.
“I’m just searching his soul, that’s all. If it turns out that this was a misunderstanding, I’ll compensate you. But if it wasn’t a misunderstanding....” The depths of Su Yi’s gaze shone with murderous intent. “Then your Isle of Ten Thousand Stars will become your burial ground.”
His indifferent, casual words were like frigid gales. The Wen Family higher-ups’ hearts shook, and chills coursed through their entire bodies.
“Get in formation!”
Before Su Yi could conduct a soul search, Wen Bohong bellowed, and the experts following him attacked without the slightest hesitation.
They’d obviously transmitted their plans to each other prior to this, or they couldn’t have achieved such a high level teamwork.
Boom!
Divine light surged around the Isle of Ten Thousand Stars. Immortal light soared into the firmament, and a terrifying Transcendent-level killing formation circulated, making heaven and earth dim.
When Su Yi saw this, he understood. The Jiang Family’s demise was indeed connected to the Wen Family. Otherwise, why would they react so strongly to his attempt to search that elder’s soul?
“Your Excellency the Temple Master, please, stay your hand. The Wen Family never intended to offend you!” Wen Bohong said gravely.
Bang!
Su Yi crushed the white-robed old man’s physical body, extracted his soul origin, and searched it, ignoring Wen Bohong completely.
Wen Boheng’s expression darkened, and the murderous light in his eyes intensified. He shouted without hesitation, “Kill him!”
Boom!
The formation rumbled and boomed. Divine radiance arced into the air like unstoppable divine spears, all of them aimed at Su Yi.
Su Yi’s eyes revealed a hint of disdain.
The answer was already apparent. There was no need to finish his search, so he tightened his grip, reducing the old man’s soul origin to powder.
A casual wave of his sleeves, and...
Clang!
A hundred-thousand-foot streak of resplendent sword qi rose into the air and descended, as if to split the dome of heaven.
When the sword qi fell, the Transcendent formation the Wen Family saw as their killer weapon split as if it were made of paper.
Firelight scattered as a current of destructive power sent the Wen Family higher-ups flying.
The impact reached even the distant Isle of Ten Thousand Stars, which swayed violently.
One slash, and he destroyed a formation and swept through a throng of enemies!
