Chapter 142 Journeying South
Zen Mountain was illuminated by the predawn light.
It was the moment just before sunrise, the atmosphere was filled with the chilly air before dawn broke, and the grey crystallized snow was covered with a fresh layer of white frost. Two early larks were chirping their songs in the half-lit sky.
At the horizon where the Zen Mountain met the sky, there was an enormous morning start hanging in high in the sky, staring down at the world below like a lone eye. The vast universe seemed to be holding its breath while it listened to the orchestra of the living creatures. A layer of thin and mysterious light hovered over the entire land.
The temperature in Northern You after the snowfall had fallen even lower, such that a splash of water could turn it to ice immediately.
At this moment, there were ten horses and two carriages traveling southwards on the small path which connected the You Prefecture and the Qing Prefecture.

From times of old, all murder cases were thorough, in the sense that entire sects were eliminated. The nature of the devils was such that they would never let their offenses go unavenged. Among the nineteen sects of Truth Cultivators, the Pavilion of Wind and Thunder and Broken King Gorge were the first targets of attack. The devils would not allow anyone in the sects to escape even if they did well at the start. This was the reason Guan Shuheng and Chen Chenchen were still the targets of the devil cultivators even though they were mere novices in their sects who did not hold any important positions. Because of Ye Que, Ye Yunhai returned with his tail between his legs, and the dead bodies of Cao Xue and Xie Yi were not intact. The devils treated this as a humiliating defeat. It was intolerable! Very soon, Formless Demon Seeds had arrived near Zen Mountain. They discovered the dead bodie

The devils drew near to darkness. Since there was no terror, there was no fear. "What else is more terrifying than the devils in the dark?" thought Situ Yan. To Situ Yan, there was nothing more fearful in the dark than the devil. However, he was soon to find out that he was wrong. Indeed, there was something more terrifying, and that was the heaven and the earth which existed naturally. The heaven and the earth remained standing through day and night, transcending them. Situ Yan had intended to speed up and cover a greater distance by making use of the darkness since he had wasted so much time during the day when they fell into the five formations. By now, he was unable to determine where Ye Que and his party were and how far apart they were from the Demon Seeds. Although his subconscious mind led him to believe that they were not far, they were delayed by the formations after all. Moreover, whoever laid the formation also need

For nine days and nights, Ye Que went through all mystical words that he could comprehend and experience at his current level once more. At the same time, he made practical use of them as they traveled southward. The effects looked pretty good right now. At the very least, the devils had not caught up with his party. This proved that his magical formations were of use. They were a band of nearly 20 people that rode in a simple carriage and carried few belongings. They traveled south from Northern You until they reached the Divine Capital, Luoyang, eventually. The crude carriage that had been carrying Ye Que kept creaking and grinding as it went downhill. Beside it were dozens of young teenagers on horseback. Their skin, which was originally white, had turned suntanned by now. Even the female disciples like Yang Nuanyue were not spared; their skin was wheat-colored now. Only Ye Que, Red Bean, and Lei Tianyou, who had been recupe

Beneath Luoyang City. The vegetable sellers had stopped shouting, and the teenagers who were returning from their spring hike stopped fooling around. The armed escorts and merchant caravans stopped moving, and even the vapor in the air seemed to have condensed at this very moment. "His Majesty has passed away?" The simple words carried a deeper meaning. The implications for this current dynasty were nearly destructive in nature. Ye Que looked surprised, while Lei Tianyou looked more shocked. The other young disciples were still stunned. Red Bean, on the other hand, had not really reacted. "Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye," Chen Chenchen of Broken King Gorge shouted as he walked up to Ye Que. There was no reaction from Ye Que, as if he was already lost in his thoughts. After a long while, Ye Que eventually replied Chen Chenchen, "What's the matter?" "How old is his Majesty?" "He was over 50

The great hall at the first storey of the Divine Sect Seminary was hundreds of meters long. The citizens of Luoyang were mostly free in the afternoon. As such, the seminary was already full of people. Everyone sat cross-legged and quietly on mats. The great hall had been specially built. Much earlier on, Ye Que had set up a noise-canceling barrier here. As such, commotions from the streets would not affect the meditation of those in the hall. Mind Focusing Joss Sticks were lit at each corner of the hall, which was somewhat beneficial to the students' cultivation. A youth dressed in a long white robe stood in front of the hall and chanted. He was saying the words of breathing technique, but if one observed carefully, one would realize that it was slightly different from that of current sects in the Cultivation World. It did not teach the students to go against Heaven to achieve Dao. Instead, it taught them to go with Nature's flow and to sens

It grew darker gradually. The evening sky looked as though it was burning. The evening sun turned the entire city scarlet. A square pear wood table was placed near the window of the third floor of the Divine Sect Seminary. There were eight dishes with one bowl of soup placed on it, along with a jar of high-quality apricot flower wine and a colorful wine pot that looked as though it was made of sheet metal. Four people sat on each corner of the table. Ye Que was sitting opposite Qian Shuxiao, and Red Bean faced Qian Shuhua. Ye Que looked a little awkward at this moment. Qian Shuhua was fuming mad; there was no way for her not to be angry. Not long ago, she had gone all out to attack Red Bean, thinking that she could teach this ignorant young woman a lesson. She did not expect to meet her match. Before she even knew what happened, she had already been punched in the face. Just one punch created a huge

It took 15 minutes for Qian Shuhua to return with two bowls in hand. The bowls looked ordinary, but they were as wide as three fists. Ordinarily, they would be used to hold noodles, and even brash martial artists and mountain bandits rarely used them for drinking liquor. Even though stories frequently described drinking by the bowls and eating in big mouthfuls, one would still have to choose the right size of drinking bowl or cup to avoid death by intoxication. Qian Shuxiao's expression immediately changed as he saw the bowls Qian Shuhua was bringing over. "Sister, how could you use that for drinking? Let's stop this foolishness, alright? Normal cups are good enough." Qian Shuhua placed the bowls on the table without even bothering about her brother. Her eyebrows arched as she said, "What do you think about using these bowls for drinking? If you think they're too big, I can change them. It wouldn't be a problem; not everyone can use them for

This very night, Qian Shuhua held Red Bean back and drank throughout the night. Ye Que could no longer remember how much they actually drank, but he knew that they had made many trips bringing down empty jars of apricot flower wine and replacing them with full ones. Eventually, when both ladies were sufficiently high, they began talking about everything and anything. Qian Shuhua told Red Bean about many disgraceful things that happened to her when she was young, and Red Bean told about a certain nation at the South Sea, where many pink flowers would blossom on the sea bed in spring. Qian Shuxiao sat on the rooftop and told Ye Que truthfully about the incidents and changes experienced by the Divine Sect Seminary during his absence. He also gave Ye Que a small grey booklet in which he had recorded a few secret plans he had made for the sect. He had purchased hundreds of properties under the name of the Divine Sect in the capital, nine cities a
