Lonemoon frowned, the gold light had actually radiated from the bodies of the people from Hao Ran Court.
All the cultivators froze, following that, expressions of overjoy appeared on their faces."It's the Light of Merit, we have merit on us! You heretical cultivator, don't you dare dream of harming us."
"Merit?" The pond full of skeletons instantly came to Lonemoon's mind, the anger in his heart heightened."Can merit that was gained through stealing be considered merit?"
With a turn of his hand, he used his assistant abilities, in a second, the gold light on everyone's bodies became millions of lighted dots, all flew into Lonemoon's palm and formed a golden little ball.
Lonemoon gave it a glance, the golden ball flashed twice and disappeared. He them looked up towards a certain place in the sky, complaining, "Don't easily give such things to anyone."
A dull rumble of thunder suddenly sounded from the sky, as if responding to him, oddly coupled with a sense of grievance.
Whereas everyone else beneath who had lost their merit, was as if their disguise had been ripped off, lines of ugly black stripes began to crawl out all over their skin, this was a sign of becoming a demon!
"How... is this possible?!" Chan Ji's eyes were wide open, that person looked to be a cultivator, why was he able to seize their merit away so casually? His face was covered in fear as he suddenly said loudly to Jing De after having thought of something, "Patriarch, he's from the Upper Realm, he is definitely from the Upper Realm! Quick, quickly call for Immortal Supremacy!"
Jing De faltered, his eyes lit up, as if he'd just come back to his senses. Hurriedly taking out a piece of purple talisman, forcefully streaming the last of his Spiritual Power into it, he called out loud, "We beg for Immortal Supremacy to come to us, protect us disciples of Hao Ran."
The other disciples also followed."We beg for Immortal Supremacy to come to us, protect us disciples of Hao Ran."
Lonemoon who was about to continue powering the Divine Refining Clock hesitated, seems like Fatty's incident even had links to the immortal world? After some thought, he instead retracted the Divine Refining Clock. Sure! He would wait to see, which rascal from the immortal world it was.
"Chef!" Shen Ying who was nibbling on a fruit suddenly instructed, "Open up the realm gate."
"Master?" Yi Qing was stunned and replied with some confusion."But this realm gate was locked by the Heavenly Dao, if we forcefully open it..."
"It can be opened now."
Yi Qing faltered, then as if having recalled something, nodded and said, "Yes, Master!"
He glanced up at the sky, with just a thought, the authoritative energy that had locked up the realm gate above instantly dissipated, the realm gate was open.
Almost in the same moment that the realm gate returned to normal, a beam of light shone from the sky, as if a door had been opened in the sky, a sky full of Immortal Qi swarmed into this little world. At once, the spirit herbs on the collapsed mountain of Hao Ran Court began to grow like mad, covering the entire ruins.
"It's Immortal Supremacy, Immortal Supremacy has arrived!" A badly injured disciple exclaimed, looking excitedly at that beam of light, the fear from earlier was completely wiped away. Even Chan Ji and Jing De wore looks of excitement, as if they were about to make a comeback.
An ethereal voice sounded from the sky, "Who dares to bully my disciples?"
Lonemoon's eyes narrowed, suddenly feeling that he'd gone too easy on them earlier, he ought to show them, what was known as the fear from the lowest level of the immortal cultivator realm.
The beam of light grew increasingly bright, after a while, a figure teeming with Immortal Qi appeared in the beam of light, hidden between the layers of clouds, gradually descending alongside heavenly music that had suddenly sounded.
Lonemoon's mouth twitched, he was really growing impatient and could not help but shouted, "Why the hell are you taking so long! Get down here if you want to, what BGM 1 are you playing for yourself!" With that, he powered the sword array to swing onto the beam of light and instantly tangled with the half of a leg that had just appeared and pull downward.
"Oh dear!" The so-called "Immortal Supremacy" instantly fell down, like a broken kite, smashing to the ground.
"And the rest of you!" Lonemoon was still looking up at the sky."If you want to come down, get down here all together." With that, the sword array surged into the entrance in the beam of light, in the next moment, the sky seemed to be raining dumplings, thud thud thud...
One after another, a row of people came crashing into the pile of old, weak, sickly and crippled people from Hao Ran Court, some couldn't dodge it time and was smacked right on.
Chan Ji: "..."
Jing De: "..."
Everyone: "..."
What was going on? What had just happened?
"Impudent!" The one with the highest cultivation amongst the immortals who had been pulled down instantly reacted, the Immortal Qi in his body surged out."Who dared to plot against me?!"
"Hey! It's a familiar face! I really didn't think..." Lonemoon flew down and looked towards the immortal who had just spoken."Emperor Yu Cang, long time no see!" This person was the Emperor of East Tsui, Yu Cang who went to Invincible Sect and claimed that there were abnormalities in the Lower Realm. It was unexpected that he was involved in Fatty's matter too. He suddenly recalled the rebellion of the East Tsui's new troops in Bo Sea. Now it seems like they were the ones who had caused the rules of this little world to be messed up. A good part of East Tsui's cultivators all ascended from this little world, they probably had something to do with Fatty's multiple lifetimes.
"Lonemoon... Young Lord!" Yu Cang froze, his face paled as he also recognized the person before him, he instinctively searched his surroundings and immediately found Yi Qing who was watching on not too far away."Em... Emperor Yi Qing! How is this possible... the realm gate had just..."
"Had just opened is it?" Lonemoon's eyes darkened."Yu Cang, did you think we don't know why the realm gate closed?"
Yu Cang lowered his head, a trace of panic flashed across his eyes.
"The people of this little world did not hold orthodox thoughts and sacrificed another's flesh and blood to increase their cultivation, deludedly thinking of deceiving heavenly secrets with this, leading to the closure of the realm gate." Lonemoon swept a glance at everyone from Hao Ran Court, then turned towards Yu Cang and the rest."If I have guessed correctly, a considerable amount of immortal cultivators from your East Tsui have ascended through such a fraudulent method."
Yu Cang's expression changed, but he forcefully kept his smile and said, "Young Lord Lonemoon what are you talking about? We came down today because the realm gate suddenly opened and we wanted to ascertain the situation. What sacrifice using flesh and blood, hiding heavenly secrets? I did not know of this!"
"Do you really think we don't know anything at all? The heavenly gate earlier, didn't it open because these people called out to their Immortal Supremacy?"
"I do have immortals under my charge who are Buddhist cultivators from this sect, but this has nothing to do with me. I don't know what they do in the Lower Realm." Yu Cang still refused to admit and looked towards the faraway Yi Qing with some scruples."Before the Celestial Emperor, Young Lord Lonemoon should take care not to wrong a good person."
"Is that so?" Lonemoon also did not want to don't waste his time talking to him. He waved his hand, an unfamiliar suppression that could not be resisted against swept towards them.
Yu Cang instinctively took on a defensive pose, but that suppression did not hold any aggressiveness. Only, in the next moment the Immortal Qi on their body dissipated and the bodies of those immortals who'd just arrived, instantly radiated a circle of faint Light of Merit, just like the one that had radiated from Chan Ji and the rest earlier.
His heart sank as his face paled a little. How was this possible, he'd went to great lengths to cleanse himself of it, why could it still reappear?
"May I ask Country Emperor Yu, where did such concentrated Light of Merit in your body come from?"
"I... I... I was once a Buddhist cultivator when I was in the Lower Realm." Yu Cang's expression was completely flustered as he gritted his teeth and answered."That's right, I changed my cultivation later on, is that not allowed?"
"Of course it is." Lonemoon laughed coldly."But, did all your subordinates behind you also changed cultivation like you did? That's truly coincidental then!"
