The Eternal Supreme

Chapter 46: Luo Yunshang’s Unrequited Love

“My lord, you’ve forgotten yourself!” Yunshang said coldly.

Qin Yang’s eyes filled up with anger as he roared, “Do you have someone in mind? Who is he? Tell me! I’ll fight him!”

“Someone?” Yunshang was taken aback and immediately fell silent.

The whole banquet hall was silent, everyone holding their breath and not daring to say a word. Even Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his cloudy eyes became somewhat clear.

“I knew it! Who is he?” Qin Yang gave a miserable smile and then said angrily, “I will be convinced if he can defeat me!”

Everyone pricked up their ears to listen, eager to know who was that someone in the mind of the state’s number one proud beauty.

Yunxiao also stopped drinking and looked at Yunshang with great interest, wondering who was the expert that had captured the heart of such a beauty.

Yunshang’s expression suddenly became a little lonely. She raised her head slightly, and her eyes seemed to look out into the endless distance. A scene from fifteen years ago which she had buried deep in her heart came to her mind…

At that time, she was only a five-year-old girl who did not know what love was all about, and was cultivating day after day in the Shenxiao Temple on the Snowfall Peak.

She had always felt that her talent was not very good, at least many were better than her among her companions. However, she had never been unhappy, and for some unknown reason, she was more loved by her master than any of her sisters. In such an environment, she lived a very regular life, cultivating day and night while thinking that this was how her whole life would pass.

But on one occasion, her master seemed to become another person after she came back from a trip, losing her temper all day. The once amiable and beautiful master had become sentimental, harsh, and increasingly dissatisfied with the progress of her disciples’ cultivation. She always lost her temper with them. Even Yunshang, her most beloved disciple, was not less punished.

Since then, she often heard her master gnashing her teeth and muttering a person’s name. She was very naive at that time, and she thought that she would definitely give the person a good beating when she had the strength in the future, no matter who made her master cry.

She remembered that the name was ‘Gu Feiyang’.

One day, when she had just finished her training, she heard noises from outside, as if many people had come.

Apart from her master and sisters, only her fellow disciples from other peaks had been to the Snowfall Peak. She had never seen a man before. But this time, she saw more than a dozen men who also brought many followers, and were discussing some matters with her master in the reception hall.

She felt very curious, so she hid in a corner of the reception hall and secretly looked at them.

“Who dares to not obey the Shenxiao Decree? Master Qu, if you want to summon us, you just need to give us the order. Why give us such a generous gift?” An old man with a blue beard, Fu Qishui, said with a cupped fist. He obviously had great respect for Qu Hongyan.

Clad in a blue dress and sitting on her throne, Qu Hongyan waved her hand and sighed softly, “The Nine-five Supreme Pill is one of the best ninth-grade medicinal pills in the world. It contains the natural law of the supreme combination between nine and five[1], and its refining method has long been lost. They are of great help even to a Martial Sovereign of the Nine Heavens realm. Although there are only a dozen or so left in Shenxiao Temple, I have nothing else but these medicinal pills which are worthy of your help.”

Mu Yangxu stood up and said, “Master Qu, the gift is too valuable. However, as my current cultivation happens to be stuck in a bottleneck, I can certainly succeed in breaking through with this amazing pill. Hence, I will not stand on ceremony with you. After we are done dealing with Gu Feiyang, I will not hesitate to assist if Master Qu needs any help in the future.”

Luan Junhao stroked his beard and chuckled, “To deal with Gu Feiyang, you are willing to pay the price of ten Nine-five Supreme Pills. Master Qu, you have overestimated him.”

“Don’t be careless, Junhao,” said Kong Yuankui. “Gu Feiyang is ranked third on the latest Heaven and Earth Power Chart. None of us is a match for his strength.”

There was a trace of contempt in Luan Junhao’s eyes as he snorted coldly and said, “When the latest Heaven and Earth Power Chart was reshuffling, I happened to be cultivating a very powerful divine ability in seclusion, so I missed it. Now that I’ve mastered the divine ability, I need someone to test its power on.”

“So, when Gu Feiyang comes, you will be able to cope with him alone?” Kong Yuankui said coldly.

“Haha! I will try my best, but it is safer for all of us to fight him together.”

Chen Feizhou asked in surprise, “Junhao, what divine ability have you mastered that makes you confident to fight Gu Feiyang alone?”

Luan Junhao smiled without saying a word. Under the gaze of all the people, he said at last, “Have you ever heard of the Great Ganges Seal?”

“The Great Ganges Seal?!” Everyone was astounded while Chen Feizhou immediately said with awe, “Is it the Great Ganges Seal of Ganges Martial Sovereign, the strongest man in the continent ten thousand years ago?”

A cold gleam burst out of Luan Junhao’s eyes as he said confidently, “Yes, it is none other than the Ganges Martial Sovereign’s supreme martial technique! Even if Tyrant Martial Sovereign comes, his imperishable golden body will be crushed to pieces under my Great Ganges Seal, let alone Gu Feiyang!”

Shitu Hai burst out laughing and then said, “I was a little worried at first, but now that brother Junhao has mastered the Great Ganges Seal, I am relieved. Although I am not as talented as you, I was lucky enough to have found a super ninth-grade mystic weapon not long ago—the Transmigration Spear. Together with my Seasoned Spear Techniques, I’m almost invincible!”

Wen Guohou also nodded and said with a smile, “The ten of us are all Martial Sovereigns of the Nine Heavens realm, added with Master Qu. Even if the top three in the Heaven and Earth Power Chart are here, they will not be able to go back alive, let alone Gu Feiyang.”

Shitu Hai sneered, “What worries me now is that Gu Feiyang knows we’re all here and he’s afraid to come to this fight.”

Qu Hongyan still looked calm, but there was a gleam of weariness in her eyes. “Please rest assured that if Gu Feiyang does not dare to come, I will regard him as defeated, and will still keep my promise to give you the Nine-five Supreme Pills,” she said lightly.

Luan Junhao’s eyes lit up as he smiled and said, “That’s great. I reckon he’s afraid to come. Nevertheless, to be able to visit this wonderland of the Shenxiao Temple, the time we spent to come here is not wasted.”

Shenxiao Temple was a famous wonderland on earth, and the Snowfall Peak was located at the end of the sky, on top of the sea of clouds. Looking outside from the temple, the scenery was beyond words. In addition, the entire Shenxiao Temple was full of beautiful women. Without invitation, no man dared to set foot here.

It was unprecedented for Shenxiao Temple in ten thousand years to have so many men gathered on the Snowfall Peak at one time.

The group of men stood in the reception hall, tasting the best wine in the world while listening to the immortal music and admiring at the billowing sea of clouds outside the temple. It was a pleasant experience, and everyone was smiling.

Fu Qishui drank up the glass of wine in his hand and then said happily, “Haha! This feels great! Shenxiao Temple is indeed a wonderland on earth! I don’t think that Gu Feiyang will come, and a swig of drinks won’t waste the trip!”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank heartily, talking and laughing with one another. “What Vanquisher Martial Sovereign, what number three on the Heaven and Earth Power Chart? He is nothing but a coward!” Luan Junhao sneered.

Shitu Hai laughed and said, “We can’t blame him either. Knowing that there are eleven Martial Sovereigns waiting here, no one would have the courage to come! Haha!”

Yi Yuan, who had been silent all the while, suddenly said, “Do you think Gu Feiyang will invite helpers to come with him? If he brings ten Martial Sovereigns to help him, the battle would be intense.”

Everyone was shocked as they thought of the possibility. All of a sudden, their cheerfulness was suddenly tinged with anxiety. “Even if it were ten against ten, we might not lose. When that happens, leave Gu Feiyang to me,” Luan Junhao said coldly.

Qu Hongyan leaned against her throne, resting one hand on her forehead, as she watched the group of men with a hint of disgust in her heart. “Gu Feiyang will not ask for help,” she said coldly.”

Shitu Hai asked, “Why is Master Qu so sure?”

There was a trace of perplexity in Qu Hongyan’s eyes as she sighed softly, “Because he’s already here.”

“What? He is already here? Where is he?”

They all were startled and alarmed. Their divine sense spread out in all directions like waves, but they could not sense the existence of anyone above the entire sea of clouds.

Luan Junhao said in a cold voice, “Master Qu, have you guessed wrongly?”

Qu Hongyan sighed. “I didn’t guess. Can’t you feel that the wind is already rising?”

“The wind is rising?” Mu Yangxu frowned and said, “This place is located on the top of the mountain. It is normal for the wind to blow.”

All of a sudden, everyone in the reception hall felt a slight breeze blowing in their faces, and the corners of their clothes were all gently blown up. All faces fell instantly as they raised their vigilance.

Outside the reception hall, a golden ray spread from the distant sky, casting a golden glow over the sea of clouds. Suddenly, the clouds began to roll and rumble as if a pot of hot water had begun to boil between the sky and the earth.

‘A great wind comes forth, the clouds rise high!’

The water vapor all over the place was pulled by a mighty suction and gathered toward the sky. Soon, the sea of clouds surrounding Shenxiao Temple was stripped, allowing the luxuriant and magnificent mountains and rivers to emerge from the clouds for the first time in tens of thousands of years. High up in the sky, a vast and boundless golden cloud palm gradually formed, so bright that it stung all eyes and made it difficult for anyone to look directly at it.

Like a god descending on earth, the colossal palm suddenly slapped down with a mighty aura.

‘The wind and clouds rose high all because of me!’

Looking at the rolling aura that was falling toward them like a meteor, everyone’s expression changed dramatically. Fu Qishui hurriedly cried out, “What a powerful force! Let’s all fight together and not hide your strength!”

Luan Junhao’s pupils constricted as he said in horror, “How could he be so strong? Great Ganges Seal, blow it away!” A Ganges River conjured up in his palm and then suddenly swelled so huge that it seemed capable of accommodating all the rivers in the world!

Shitu Hai’s forehead also began to ooze traces of cold sweat as a golden spear pierced through the air and was caught by him with one hand. “Super ninth-grade mystic weapon, Transmigration Spear!”

The other eight men also dared not to be careless as they hurriedly exercised their strongest martial techniques!

“Ink Frost Tyrant Finger!”

“True Dragon Seal!”

“Heavenly Martial Buddha Hand!”

“Formless Thunder!”

“Mysterious Ice God Fist!”

“Seasoned Flame Blade!”

“Traceless Ghost Palm!”

“Spirit Dragon Emperor Finger!”

For a moment, the light of martial techniques towered into the sky from the Snowfall Peak, and the whole world began to tear under the collision of these energies.

Bam!

Just when all the energies collided with each other, a huge black hole suddenly appeared in the sky, swallowing up all the light. The Heaven and earth seemed to crumble, and the surrounding void seemed about to collapse!
