Chapter 1355: Stunned
Chapter 1355: Stunned
The environment here was extremely tranquil. Cultivating in this place could instantly clear one’s mind of distractions, doubling the efficiency of cultivation. The Empty Clarity State was usually difficult to enter, yet here it was effortless. No wonder Heavenly Venerable Jian Si chose this place for cultivation, the effect was truly extraordinary.
Not only that, but the mountains and waters here had all been carefully arranged, everything in perfect harmony. And it wasn’t just a simple natural landscape, it was filled with core energy.
Buried beneath the ground were incredibly powerful Grade-3 Water Cores! Since Heavenly Venerable Jian Si cultivated water-attribute abilities, the area had been infused with water cores, Grade-3 ones, at that.
And not just one, but several water cores arranged throughout the area, forming this entire region. Such extravagance was truly astounding.
With this many water cores, the cultivation environment here surpassed even that of a Grade-3 God Territory! So even without being in a Grade-3 God Territory, this location provided an excellent cultivation space, there was nothing to worry about.
Heavenly Venerable Jian Si said nothing, and Yi Tianyun also remained silent, simply fishing by his side. In truth, there wasn’t a single fish in the lake, its bottom was completely empty. Anyone passing by might think they were crazy.
No one knew how much time passed before Heavenly Venerable Jian Si smiled and looked at Yi Tianyun. “It seems you’re quite patient, you haven’t rushed to ask why I brought you here.”
“It’s not that I’m patient, it’s just that if senior brother tells me to fish, then as your junior, I naturally focus on fishing first.” Yi Tianyun smiled slightly.
“Haha, fair point,” Heavenly Venerable Jian Si chuckled. “I brought you here not only so we could meet as senior and junior, but also to introduce you to the other two senior brothers. In this region, only the three of us remain. With you, we’ll make four.”
“There are two other senior brothers?” Yi Tianyun’s eyes lit up. That meant there were two more powerful Heavenly Venerables! This gave him hope, if all three of them helped, wouldn’t he have a chance to win the battle?
“Yes, but those two senior brothers won’t recognize your strength so easily. From my perspective, you already qualify as a Heavenly Venerable. You’ve established your own God Territory, an impressive feat.” Heavenly Venerable Jian Si smiled.
Yi Tianyun narrowed his eyes. It seemed they didn’t yet know he had annihilated the Evil Spirit God Territory. That incident had been handled in secret, even the Moon Soul Pavilion couldn’t easily uncover it.
If they did know, they’d be shocked beyond belief. After all, the Evil Spirit God Territory had two Heavenly Venerables, and he’d still wiped them out, meaning Yi Tianyun already possessed Heavenly Venerable-level power!
“So, if I hadn’t broken through to Heavenly Venerable, or established my own domain, Senior Brother Jian probably wouldn’t have met me at all?” Yi Tianyun asked.
“That’s correct. If there were no sign that you might break through, I wouldn’t have met you. There are many registered disciples, if I acknowledged them all, that would be pointless,” Heavenly Venerable Jian Si said calmly.
It wasn’t that he was cold-hearted, but there were too many registered disciples. Only those who showed great potential would be acknowledged. At the last Heavenly Venerable Path event, there were more than seven or eight registered disciples.
“I see. But I imagine Senior Brother Jian didn’t bring me here just to chat, right?” Yi Tianyun said.
“Indeed not. The three of us have remained in the Outer God Territory for one simple reason, to kill Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God!” Heavenly Venerable Jian Si’s eyes turned icy, filled with killing intent. “But recently, word came that Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God has already died. No one knows who did it, but they saved us a lot of effort.”
He chuckled afterward, but there was also confusion, he couldn’t find out who had done it.
“Killed Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God?” Yi Tianyun was momentarily stunned. His expression turned odd, wasn’t he the one who had done that?
“Yes, to eliminate Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God. He was our master’s sworn enemy. Now that he’s been seriously wounded, we were planning to hunt him down and finish him! But now that he’s already dead, it seems someone else got to him. Call it karma, I suppose.”
“With that, our mission is essentially complete. We can return to the Inner God Territory. But before that, I want to introduce you to the other two senior brothers. Once you break through to Heavenly Venerable, Master will personally escort you to the Inner God Territory.”
“Outer God Territory? Inner God Territory?” Yi Tianyun was confused by the unfamiliar terms.
“Ah, I forgot to explain. The Outer God Territory refers to anything below a Grade-4 God Territory, including the Mortal Domain. The Inner God Territory refers to Grade-4 and above. That’s the basic distinction,” Heavenly Venerable Jian Si explained.
“And there’s a way to be escorted there? I thought one had to obtain a token core to enter a Grade-4 God Territory?” Yi Tianyun asked in shock.
“That’s true. But with Master’s power, he can still escort a few people. Nothing is absolute, everything depends on strength.” Heavenly Venerable Jian Si thought for a moment, then added, “But it depends on the situation. Master is currently injured, so escorting people isn’t easy. Still, by the time you become a Heavenly Venerable, he should be recovered.”
“Is Master badly injured? How long will it take?” Yi Tianyun asked.
“Hard to say. It might take tens of thousands of years. His injuries are very severe.” Heavenly Venerable Jian Si shook his head and sighed.
“Tens of thousands of years…” Yi Tianyun was speechless. That was far too long. But if the injury was really that serious, it made sense.
By then, who knew how many times the God Territory Wars would’ve taken place? The key was, he needed to complete his mission. Without doing so, he couldn’t get the grand gift pack. And even if he got escorted, it would be meaningless!
“Senior Brother Jian, would it be possible for the three senior brothers to assist me in the upcoming God Territory War? I want to seize that token core!” Yi Tianyun said seriously.
Heavenly Venerable Jian Si gave him a stunned look. “Junior Brother… I know you just created a God Territory, but a God Territory War is a different matter altogether. The difficulty is extremely high.”
“Senior Brother Jian, I’m stating it clearly here and now, can I count on the support of the three senior brothers?” Yi Tianyun said firmly.
“This… I’m fine with it. But the other two senior brothers are hard to convince. You’re not officially a fellow disciple yet, just getting a meeting would be difficult, let alone help. Unless you can prove your strength and earn their approval, it’s unlikely,” Heavenly Venerable Jian Si replied after some thought.
“Prove my strength?” Yi Tianyun’s eyes flashed. He then reached out and pulled out the Myriad Venerable God Tower, handing it forward. “This is the Myriad Venerable God Tower of Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God. I was the one who killed him. Is that qualification enough?”
Heavenly Venerable Jian Si looked at the tower, and was stunned.

When Heavenly Venerable Jian Si saw the Myriad Venerable God Tower in Yi Tianyun’s hand, he was completely stunned, his eyes blank. Just moments ago he had been wondering who had killed Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God, now, seeing the Myriad Venerable God Tower in Yi Tianyun’s possession, there was no doubt, Yi Tianyun was the one who killed him!
The Myriad Venerable God Tower was Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God’s signature treasure, one of his most well-known. There was no way he would have given it to someone else. If it appeared in someone else’s hands, there was only one possibility, he was dead!
Of course, by now, most powerful factions already knew that Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God had died, what they didn’t know was who had killed him. As for the captured divine generals, some were killed, others imprisoned underground and cruelly tortured.
Eventually, the truth came to light, and those prisoners were released. But by then, they were already half-crippled. The God Territory that had captured them was left in an awkward position, who would’ve thought Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God would actually be killed?
But the event had already happened, and there was no undoing it. At most, some apologies were offered. The elders of Slaughter God’s God Territory frantically sought the identity of the killer.
In the end, Slaughter God’s faction could only swallow their anger. Could they even seek revenge? During that chaotic time, Slaughter God’s God Territory was ferociously attacked by others, and by the time they realized what had happened, a large portion of their territory had been destroyed, losses were immense.
Losing Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God was already a crushing blow. Now their territory was in ruins, and on top of that, they’d been falsely accused. The experts of Slaughter God’s faction were as frustrated as could be.
To make things worse, the death of their Heavenly Venerable caused their standing to plummet. Territories that once treated them with respect now looked down on them, no longer showing courtesy.
When they sought help investigating the killer, most just brushed them off, pretending to assist but putting no real effort in.
After all, the one who killed Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God couldn’t possibly be weak. Who dared get involved in that mess? The smart ones stayed far away, no one wanted to get too close.
Some God Territories were even looking to befriend the killer. After all, someone stronger than Slaughter God was worth knowing, alliances could bring great benefits.
Even Jian Si himself would gladly make such a connection. He had always considered Slaughter God an enemy, so now that someone had helped eliminate him, why wouldn’t he want to befriend them?
But no one knew who the killer was. Jian Si and the others could only regret not knowing, hoping they might someday meet this powerful figure.
And now, this very mysterious powerhouse stood before him, his own junior brother!
Heavenly Venerable Jian Si stared at the Myriad Venerable God Tower in Yi Tianyun’s hand, unable to say a single word. It was too bizarre, too unbelievable. The person they’d been searching for all along… was his own junior brother!
“It… it was really you who killed him?” Jian Si finally managed to speak after a long pause, still in disbelief.
“It really was me. The Myriad Venerable God Tower is right here. Did Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God gift it to me? Or someone else, perhaps?” Yi Tianyun said with a smile.
“Well, that’s true… but Slaughter God was so powerful, how did you manage to kill him?” Jian Si thought about it. It made sense, but the method still baffled him.
Their cultivation levels were far apart, it should’ve been incredibly difficult to win.
“It was actually quite simple. I used Master’s attack imprint, which continuously weakened him, then struck him hard while he was vulnerable, that’s how I killed him,” Yi Tianyun explained casually.
“Master’s attack imprint does weaken enemies, yes… but it shouldn’t be that powerful. Even to seriously threaten him, you’d need at least mid-stage Lower Heavenly Venerable power… Wait, don’t tell me…” Jian Si looked Yi Tianyun up and down. He could sense only God Monarch-level cultivation.
Yi Tianyun was indeed at fifth-level God Monarch. His cultivation wasn’t especially high. For a God Monarch to possess half-step Heavenly Venerable power was already remarkable. If he had mid-stage Lower Heavenly Venerable strength, that would be heaven-defying.
“Well, I did have a few advantages. I didn’t need especially high cultivation, early-stage Lower Heavenly Venerable power was enough. I guess I just had a deeper understanding of martial arts, so my attacks were more damaging,” Yi Tianyun explained. “Killing Slaughter God took a lot of luck. Without it, I wouldn’t have succeeded. Honestly, I might’ve died instead.”
Yi Tianyun wasn’t lying. Even going all out, he wasn’t guaranteed to win. He had used his perceived weakness to bait his enemy into making a mistake.
If he had revealed his full power from the start, he’d likely be dead.
“That’s actually very possible… but your martial arts comprehension is that deep?” Jian Si stood up and said, “Junior Brother, I’m still a little doubtful. If you can show me strength that convinces me, I will support you unconditionally in the God Territory War!”
“Alright!” Yi Tianyun’s eyes lit up, and he stood up quickly. “Then, Senior Brother, forgive me if I’m impolite!”
As he spoke, he drew his Stars Divine Spear and pointed it at Jian Si. Immediately, he activated the Hao Han Divine Art, not showing all his power, just enough to demonstrate the depth of his comprehension.
If he really went all out, it would be overkill. True full-power explosions only happened in life-or-death scenarios.
From Jian Si’s point of view, even if Yi Tianyun gave his all, it wouldn’t be as strong as when he killed Slaughter God. Desperation brings out more power!
Of course, that was just his wishful thinking.
Yi Tianyun thrust his spear forward. Jian Si flicked his hand, and with a light tap, deflected the strike.
Yi Tianyun spun in the air a few times and landed steadily, completely unscathed. Jian Si was also completely unharmed. It was just a friendly sparring match.
“Not bad, not bad! You’ve cultivated the Hao Han Divine Art to the fifth level, how terrifying. It only has seven levels in total, and you’re already at the fifth. With this, I see no issue with you breaking through to Heavenly Venerable,” Jian Si said in astonishment. “As expected of my junior brother! No wonder you were able to defeat Slaughter God. Just the fifth-level Hao Han Divine Art alone was enough to fully unleash the power of Master’s attack imprint!”
“That explains why Slaughter God was so thoroughly suppressed. I believe it now, Junior Brother, you do have the power to kill him!”
Jian Si said with satisfaction, “If this news reaches Master, you won’t even need to break through to Heavenly Venerable, you’ll already qualify to be his disciple. Even if he hasn’t recovered from his injuries, he’ll probably escort you personally. You wouldn’t even need to participate in the God Territory War.”
“Senior Brother Jian, I must participate in the God Territory War. I have to seize that token core!” Yi Tianyun shook his head firmly. The token core was non-negotiable.
