When Zheng Liang died, five streaks of light shot out from Godhead Mountain: Jin Wuyu, Shi Wunian, Zhan Wushang, Han Wuxin, and a woman dressed in palatial attire, her aura comparable to that of Jin Wuyu and Shi Wunian. Zhan Wushang and Han Wuxin were both extremely respectful to her.

Jin Wuyu shouted, “Zheng Liang’s run into trouble and the Divine Will was seized!”

In Godhead Palace, Jin Wuyu had the strongest connection to the golden body’s Divine Will after Earth Immortal Ye Yun, so if he said this, then he couldn’t be wrong.

The woman immediately raised her eyebrows. “Such audacity!”

She took the lead in flying toward the site of the incident.

The five Violet Palace experts of Godhead Palace had all been mobilized, such was the importance of the golden body’s Divine Will. It had to be understood that this Divine Will wasn’t important only because it could make one more powerful, but also because of the Guangfa Godhead’s numerous Divine Connections contained within. By comprehending the Divine Will, Godhead Palace was able to constantly develop powerful Divine Connections. While other sects had to rely on themselves to develop new spell arts, Godhead Palace simply had to study their Godhead’s divine statue. This sect was truly still living off the riches left by their ancestors.

The sect could not accept the loss of the golden body’s Divine Will, and their anxiety spurred them to rush over as quickly as they could.

But before they could get very far, several figures appeared in the distance to intercept them.

It was Ling Xiao, Xiao Biehan, Mystic Moon, Nine Splendors, and one other, but rather than Ming Yekong, it was the Mountain Shatter Boy.

Upon seeing this, the people of Godhead Palace knew exactly what was going on.

Shi Wunian shrieked, “Basking Moon Sect! This is your doing!”

Xiao Biehan laughed. “Aspirational Lord Shi, it’s been a hundred and thirty years since our last meeting. Have you been well?”

A hundred and thirty years ago, Shi Wunian had battled with Xiao Biehan at Heavenly Balance Mountain and had his Divine Soul heavily injured by the God-Conquering Merak Sword, which had caused him to develop a lifelong loathing for Xiao Biehan. Shi Wunian was furious now that Xiao Biehan had scratched at the scar, and he angrily grunted, “Xiao Biehan, don’t get too cocky. I declare a Great Aspiration to destroy all conditioned existences in the world!”

As Shi Wunian roared, ripples of divine power seeped into the surrounding space.

Xiao Biehan laughed and swung his Sky-Parting Sword. “You can break all the existences you want. I’ll just respond with my sword. Shi Wunian, you’ve already lost to me twice, and you won’t be winning this time either!”

Shi Wunian almost wanted to throw up blood.

Xiao Biehan was an existence of the Basking Moon Sect on par with its sect master, and Shi Wunian was an existence on par with Godhead Palace’s palace master, just as strong as Xiao Biehan. But alas, over the last few centuries, he had always been on the losing end.

The first time was when he was chasing after Xu Muyang. He had been anxious to go after his new target and been uninterested in battle, so he had simply gone through the motions and then conceded, but deep down, he hadn’t been satisfied by the result. The second time, he had been ambushed by Xiao Biehan’s God-Conquering Merak Sword at Heavenly Balance Mountain. This was the third time, but his injuries hadn’t healed yet, so it seemed like he was bound to lose this time as well. How could Shi Wunian not be mad?

As the two of them began to fight, the others also paired off.

Jin Wuyu’s opponent was naturally Ling Xiao, the two sect masters instantly stirring up a storm.

Zhan Wushang battled against Mystic Moon while Han Wuxin fought against Nine Splendors. These four were all Deification cultivators, and the world trembled around them as they battled.

The Mountain Shatter Boy and the palace beauty met gazes, and the woman snarled, “Jiao Hua, it really is you! I just knew that a dog like you wouldn’t die so easily! I should have killed you with a single slap back then!”

The Mountain Shatter Boy laughed. “Hu Xuehua, if a scoundrel like you isn’t dead, how could I be willing to die? Really, all I did was see through your affair, but you ended up chasing me for three hundred years. That old turtle Ye Yun is quite the disappointment, letting his own maid servant carry out an affair under his nose. It’s no wonder he became an Earth Immortal, given all the time he spent curled up in that shell of his.”

This was an earthshaking revelation.

The Mountain Shatter Boy had never brought it up before because this woman was backed by Ye Yun, so even when he was protected by the Cloud Ancestor, he didn’t dare to provoke her.

But since the Cloud Ancestor and Ye Yun were already fighting, bound to shatter the equilibrium that had persisted over the Rosecloud Domain for more than two thousand years, the Mountain Shatter Boy decided to finally tear open that old wound.

Hu Xuehua had thought that the Mountain Shatter Boy would remain silent, given that he had already been silent for one thousand years, which was why she had been so brash at first. But to her surprise, her instincts had been off, and the Mountain Shatter Boy had chosen to savagely poke at the wound. She paled in anger, and her blood energy was thrown into such turmoil that she actually threw up blood.

The Mountain Shatter Boy erupted in laughter. “Hey, hey, hey, we haven’t even started fighting yet, but Miss Xuehua is already throwing up blood? Does that mean you plan to concede? Miss Xuehua, have you gotten lonely and started getting thirsty again, attracted to this hale and hearty body of mine? Hmhmhm, since that old turtle Ye Yun is already used to it and won’t care if it happens again, I don’t mind sacrificing myself one more time to satisfy your cravings.”

“Shut your mouth!” Hu Xuehua shrieked.

After the Mountain Shatter Boy uncovered that scandal, Ye Yun had almost killed her. It was only because she had been lucky enough to birth a child for Ye Yun that she had been spared. Even so, she had still been jailed for one hundred years, but by the time she came out again, Ye Yun had lost all interest in her. She had racked her brains to get back on Ye Yun’s side, using every technique she knew and mastering the bedroom art, as well as engaging in numerous harem battles, before finally earning Ye Yun’s favor once more.

A thousand years had passed, and Ye Yun no longer cared about that matter. After reaching Earth Immortal, he had grown indifferent to the opposite sex in general, dismissing his maids and leaving only this one woman whom he had shared a deeper connection with.

Hu Xuehua had believed that most of the people who knew about this scandal had died by now, given all the time that had passed, and those left that did know, like the Cloud Ancestor, wouldn’t bring it up. But to her surprise, the Mountain Shatter Boy had survived her Hundred Blossom Soul Destroyer. This man had originally been a bandit, always speaking in a crude tone, and two thousand years had done little to change this. He had none of the dignity of a senior, and his tongue-lashing was at the Boundless Gold Immortal level, able to heavily wound Hu Xuehua with only a few words.

Seeing how enraged she was, the Mountain Shatter Boy cackled, “Okay, okay, I’ll shut my mouth. With Miss Xuehua’s mouth always opening, nobody else needs to open their mouth.”

Everyone present understood the deeper meaning of his words.

Unexpectedly, the Mountain Shatter Boy chose to start with his sharp words in his first battle, and in this aspect, he was very comparable to Tang Jie.

As he spoke, he thrust a palm at Hu Xuehua, several bolts of cold light shooting out of it, each of them aimed at one of Hu Xuehua’s weak points.

Despite all his tongue wagging, he wasn’t at all careless in his attacks. Hu Xuehua had been stronger than him back then, almost killing him with one strike, so just as Hu Xuehua loathed him, he equally loathed her.

He might have been no match for Hu Xuehua back then, but then Ye Yun had locked her up for one hundred years, giving him time to catch up. Moreover, he was sure that Ye Yun had been much more conservative with her after that incident, no longer teaching her powerful Divine Connections. Overall, she might even be weaker than him right now, and then she had been provoked by his words, so the Mountain Shatter Boy was confident that he could win.

Ten Violet Palace experts began to battle on an epic scale.

Their battle turned the surrounding five thousand kilometers into a vacuum of spiritual energy, a vortex forming in the skies of Nadir Hill that sucked in spiritual energy.

The center was a storm of fire, frost, lightning, and rain, various Immortal arts and divine weapons clashing against each other in bursts of brilliance.

It was possible to see these bursts of light from extremely far away, vague silhouettes flashing in and out of vision. Mountains and rivers manifested in the sky, as did giant golden beings, sky-covering hands, and stunning waves of sword energy.

The consequences of this battle were also awe-inspiring. The clouds above were ground up into nothing, and down below, mountains collapsed, rivers turned to steam, and the earth quaked. Nothing in this region would be spared in a battle of ten Violet Palace cultivators.

Some even drew down the Astral Winds from above to assist in their battle.

Zhan Wushang bellowed and waved his hand at the air, upon which a gust of Astral Wind swept down, wrapping around his saber, which he swung at Mystic Moon.

Mystic Moon didn’t dare to directly take on this attack empowered by the Astral Winds, and he summoned up numerous moons to neutralize it.

But Zhan Wushang continued to swing away, the Astral Winds that burned on his saber, hand, and body seemingly having no effect on him. Seeing this, Mystic Moon thought to himself that while this move was powerful, it also harmed the user, and since he could use his Moonlight Frost to neutralize the attack, Zhan Wushang would eventually break first.

Thus, he stopped trying to dodge and relied on his Moonlight Frost to defend, hoping to keep Zhan Wushang attacking.

Sure enough, Zhan Wushang gradually started to reach his limit, the Astral Winds beginning to scorch his skin.

Delighted, Mystic Moon pushed his Moonlight Frost to the maximum, beams of moonlight assailing Zhan Wushang.

Finally, Zhan Wushang’s defense broke, and one of Mystic Moon’s beams of moonlight pierced a finger-sized hole through his chest.

Ecstatic, Mystic Moon rushed in and thrust his finger at Zhan Wushang.

This attack concentrated all his power, and he was sure that Zhan Wushang couldn’t block it.

But at that moment, Zhan Wushang’s eyes flashed with a cunning light.

Mystic Moon saw it and knew that he was in trouble, but it was too late to draw back his attack.

Zhan Wushang charged in, but as Mystic Moon’s finger jabbed into his heart, Zhan Wushang’s body erupted with a golden light that blocked the strike. At the same time, Zhan Wushang swung his saber covered in blazing Astral Wind at Mystic Moon’s head, slicing it off.

Author’s Note: A reader asked a question in yesterday’s chapter about how the Divine Will was spoken of as being one tenth, but then it was said to be one ten-millionth, which is contradictory.

Let me explain. “One tenth” refers to the Divine Will in the golden body. “One ten-millionth” refers to the Divine Will of the Guangfa Godhead. The reference point is different, so the description is different. After all, the Divine Will in the golden body simply came through a fraction of Divine Will sent over by the Guangfa Godhead all those years ago.
