Chapter 2487 - 2492: Sovereign of Swords

Chapter 2487: Chapter 2492: Sovereign of Swords

A dizzy spell.

When he opened his eyes again, Xia Liu was already standing atop the peak in North Cool County.

The Nine Dragons Snatching Pearl had returned to tranquility.

As he walked out of the teleportation formation, Xia Liu’s divine sense spread in all directions.

Except for Bai Zhengyang, who was arriving through the air towards him.

In the domain within the square area, there was only one other cultivator, He Xue.

"Trouble!"

Bai Jue exclaimed in surprise.

For the past few days, he hadn’t been here to watch over Bai Yu.

Given Bai Yu’s impulsive nature.

The previous agreement was for him and Bai Zhengyang to guard the spatial rift.

Xia Liu’s return to the Kunwu Realm followed the teleportation formation.

So no unexpected events should occur.

Since Xia Liu had no accidents.

Then Bai Yu certainly wouldn’t be waiting here!

"Elder Bai! Where do you think Senior Bai Yu will go?"

Xia Liu was also somewhat worried.

If he went to the Central Continent and disturbed the Empress afterwards.

Then it would be difficult to ingeniously retrieve Elder Bai’s soul ever again.

"Central Continent."

"Is the target the Empress?"

"Yes or no!"

Bai Jue wasn’t sure either.

If this step wasn’t planned beforehand, he really didn’t know what kind of crazy things Bai Yu would do for him.

"Kid! When did my friend leave, and did he specify his target when he left?"

After Bai Zhengyang arrived, Bai Jue’s soul emerged, looking a bit anxious.

"Patriarch Bai Yu went to the Central Continent!"

That day, Bai Zhengyang had a countless amount of words to try and stop him.

But how could he possibly persuade Bai Yu, who was so determined?

In the end, he could only watch him leave helplessly.

Bai Zhengyang dared not leave.

Afraid that Xia Liu and Bai Jue would return not knowing where Bai Yu had actually gone.

"Indeed! Foolish friend!"

Within the cultivation realm, perhaps only Bai Jue dared to speak of Bai Yu in such a way.

A demi-god realm expert.

Upon learning about his friend’s misfortune, how could he remain calm!

Taking advantage of the time when Bai Jue wasn’t around to nag.

Bai Yu went straight to the Central Continent to cause trouble!

"It’s over, if the Empress senses the crisis, we’ll be in a passive position!"

Xia Liu said worriedly.

"That should not happen; Patriarch Bai Yu said a sentence upon leaving, that he wanted the old man who set up the formation to die a hundred times!"

"Formation setup?"

"I see!"

Bai Jue roughly understood Bai Yu’s thoughts.

Though he wasn’t aiming at the Empress.

If he killed the person who helped the Empress set up the formation back then.

The Empress would also be aware.

"This matter is somewhat troublesome!"

"Elder Bai, maybe we still have a chance."

Since Bai Yu is going to kill the mysterious person who set up the formation years ago.

Then success should not come quickly.

Dealing with someone proficient in the highest level of array mystical arts.

It is quite tricky and troublesome for cultivators.

One careless mistake, even a demi-god realm expert.

Could be bound or even killed!

"Indeed, although my friend has studied array mystical arts, compared to that person, he’s at best a beginner, and estimating the attempt to kill the opponent would take a significant amount of time."

Bai Jue couldn’t deny this fact.

Speaking of array mystical arts.

Bai Jue admitted only two people.

One was the expert who helped the Empress over two thousand years ago.

The second, was Xia Liu!

Regarding his mysterious arts foundation, Bai Jue could not discern the depth.

He’s like a bottomless pit.

Unfathomable.

"When did Senior Bai Yu leave?"

"Five days ago."

...

Xia Liu returned to the Kunwu Realm days ago, Bai Yu could no longer restrain himself.

Regarding this impulsive friend.

Bai Jue felt both gratified and worried.

"Five days, calculating the time, he should have reached the Central Continent, though finding someone might also take some time, let’s head there right away!"

Xia Liu suggested.

"Xia Liu, the significance of your return to the Kunwu Realm and Huaxia should be to retrieve an item and perform a secret technique for tracking; but right now..."

"If I use the secret technique now, it will surely consume a lot of time, the most urgent right now should be quickly going to the Central Continent, lest the situation gets out of control."

"Is that okay?"

Bai Jue felt somewhat guilty.

Once again, because of his problem.

Xia Liu’s plans had to change.

Delaying the search for his wife’s location.

He really felt sorry.

"If I’m guessing correctly, the mysterious arts master’s cave must have a very profound formation platform."

For Xia Liu to perform the tracking secret technique, he needs a medium.

The one in the Northern Region exists, but its power is too limited and barely usable.

But the platform inside the mysterious arts master’s cave in the Central Continent is different.

It probably encompasses the entire cultivation realm.

Even the lower planes!

That’s also the reason Xia Liu is tempted.

The mysterious arts master’s cave in the Central Continent, he must go investigate!

"Okay, then we’ll head to the Central Continent immediately."

Bai Jue did not refute further.

Perhaps Xia Liu truly wished to go, or maybe he was using such reasoning to calm himself.

Either way, the immediate priority right now is to head to the Central Continent.

"Boy, do you know the location of Heavenly Fate Venerable’s cave?"

Hmm?

Heavenly Fate Venerable, a master renowned since two thousand years ago!

It’s rumored that his array foundation reached the level of a Grandmaster, unmatched worldwide!

His mystical arts were trained to invincibility.

Among cultivators of the same stage, almost none could gain the upper hand against him.

"Heavenly Fate Venerable retired over a thousand years ago, I don’t know his exact whereabouts."

Bai Zhengyang honestly responded.

...

Bai Jue felt helpless, it seems they’ll have to try another approach.

"Heavenly Fate Venerable, was he the mysterious arts master who cooperated with the Empress to set up formations outside North Cool County?"

"Yes, back then he was only at the Spirit Transformation Mid-Stage cultivation level, but his mystical arts were exceptional, after I was severely injured, I couldn’t break through his techniques, ultimately he carved away my soul."

At that time, Bai Jue hadn’t specifically identified who was in the shadows.

Until later, when Xia Liu stormed the formations, did he gradually recognize the residual aura.

Heavenly Fate Venerable!

Claiming to be the master of divine strategy!

"Quite a challenge! In over two thousand years, his power, I’m afraid, has reached a terrifying realm!"

"Yes, estimated at least at the Spirit Transformation Peak."

Bai Jue continued, "What is terrifying about him is not his foundation, but his mystical arts formations!"

"Capable of battling demigod realm experts?"

"Certainly!"

Bai Jue replied firmly.

"This is very interesting!"

Xia Liu had been neglecting mystical arts formations for a long time.

But that doesn’t mean he’s incapable.

Because his mystical arts foundation had already exceeded the Spirit Transformation Realm.

But there was no foundation to utilize them.

This time, it’s an excellent opportunity to test his mystical arts formations’ limits using Heavenly Fate Venerable!

With Bai Zhengyang leading the way, the two quickly arrived at the Central Continent.

However, to locate the Heavenly Fate Venerable’s cave.

They need to visit some people.

In a Sword Tomb in the northern area of the Central Continent.

Bai Zhengyang and Xia Liu strolled into it.

"This Sword Tomb is the domain of Senior Wanjian, he is..."

"The Emperor among swords, Venerable Wanjian, isn’t it..."

Before Bai Zhengyang could finish, Bai Jue began to mutter.

"Yes, yes..."

Bai Zhengyang felt a bit embarrassed.

He had almost forgotten about Bai Jue’s presence.

Venerable Wanjian was a strong figure of that era.

Bai Jue would naturally be more familiar with him than Bai Zhengyang.
