The Licentious Cultivator

Byron explained the circumstances surrounding the final trial. Reverend Divine Prime Jade's ultimate goal was to understand the truth of the world and in this world of cultivation; the number one rule was power.

Whoever lacked power lacked the ability to speak for themselves and even fend for themselves. They could only be at the bottom of the dregs of the world, grovelling beneath others for a chance to continue living.

The martial warriors did not care about what reasons Reverend Divine Prime Jade had, they only wanted to gain the time path true inheritance.

The eleven martial warriors stood in the hall, facing each other as tension filled the air. They eyed each other warily as if afraid of whom their next opponents would be.

"You may begin" Byron's cold words sent a wave of electricity coursing through the martial warriors.

The martial warriors of Eight Extremities Palace were the most and even though it was a free for all, the plan was to eliminate the clansmen of the Gu, Xiong and Dong clans first.

Gu Ao's gaze became dark as he used his movement abilities. His speed was impressive as he charged at An Yin.

His thought process was as simple as could be. He would cripple An Yin's cultivation in one shot and deal a great blow to Eight Extremities Palace's younger generation!

Southern Border, A nameless mountain

Inside a large cave carved deep into a small mountain, hundreds of people assembled in silence. The atmosphere was so sombre that a small rapier could easily cut it apart.

The multitude stood before a small elevated ground where nine people stood. The nine people seemed to have a level of authority above the multitude and they had gathered them all together for a certain reason.

It was obvious that this certain reason was incredibly crucial to all of them.

The cave was lit with many shrubs of moonglow weed, a plant unique to Southern Border that formed naturally at mountain peaks.

The moonglow weed was like a small plant that resembled tomato plants. It was blue all over and had at maturity, it would grow a small bulb which was its fruit. The small bulb was incredibly mundane during daytime but at night, it glowed bright with an azure colour just like the moon.

It was a very common plant in Southern Border and it was used by mortals as a source of light at night. Now, these people were using it to light the cave they stood in.

The people all gazed at the nine that stood on the small elevated ground before them as if they were expecting something. Every single one of them, adults and children alike, had vertical slits on their forehead in the space above the middle of their eyebrows.

Naturally, they were the members of the strongest race of the Four Great Rebel Races – the Changshou Tong Race!

The nine people were Makato, Kyosuke, Kumiko, Chiemi and the others that had fought during the appearance of the Danna Chaotic Fruit.

Kyosuke smiled and walked towards the hundreds of people that had assembled before him. His heart fluttered with joy from being able to grace such a day.

"People of my race, today, after a long period of suppression and bondage, we will be reviving our Changshou Tong Race back to its former splendour!" Kyosuke's voice was excited and the people that watched him speak cheered at the little words he said.

"Now, we shall proceed with the sacred art which has been passed down from our ancestors for many generations. Today, we shall resurrect our progenitor!"

Gu Ao moved towards An Yin with great speed, nobody had expected it at such an early time.

An Yin was stunned for a while before regaining his composure. He straightened his back and channelled his Essence as he beckoned to Gu Ao: "Come"

Gu Ao's eyes reddened in anger from being overlooked in such manner. Although he knew that using his method to cripple An Yin's cultivation would also leave him at the jaws of death, he did not care.

After all, didn't Byron say that those who died would be revived and sent back to the aperture fragment?

Cangxiang Zihan who was watching from a distance seemed to notice the man's madness: "This!"

His eyes glistened as he saw through Gu Ao immediately: "Senior An Yin, do not take him on!"

"Hmm?" An Yin turned to face Cangxiang Zihan and in the short time that he lost his focus, Gu Ao appeared right before him and struck his hand forward to land the attack.

"Gbam!"
