Chapter 306: How Do You Wish to Die?

In the Yuan Realm.

A Bi Fang soared beneath the scars of the heavens, her divine fire melting the void, with an imposing presence. Her wings swept across the void, wingspan blocking out the sky, as she emitted a piercing cry.

“This aura… is terrifying!”

In Dawn City, Yuan Daokong and the others watched a passing Bi Fang divine bird, their expressions filled with horror.

“Wasn’t the Bi Fang divine clan wiped out by Senior Ye? How can there still be a Bi Fang in the Yuan Realm?” Qi Ruyu asked in confusion.

“This matter is not for us to discuss,” Yue Ruyi said. “Be careful, trouble comes from the mouth.”

Everyone became solemn in expression.

That Bi Fang landed in the new world of the Yuan Realm, her divine fire retracted, transforming into a red-haired old man who landed on a solitary peak. Divine light shimmered in his eyes as his brows furrowed deeply.

“I have searched all over the Yuan Realm, yet why have I not seen any trace of the Bi Fang divine clan?” the Bi Fang ancestor said in puzzlement.

“The seal has been unlocked, and the Bi Fang divine clan has escaped, but where could they have gone?”

He was the very first Bi Fang in the world. After the Immortal Realm was forged, he ascended to the Immortal Realm and had not come down to the mortal world for tens of millions of years. He had long since lost contact with the Bi Fang divine clan in the Yuan Realm.

Now, revisiting his old home, the Bi Fang divine clan was nowhere to be seen, leaving the Bi Fang ancestor with a bad premonition.

His gaze flickered slightly as he turned into a stream of light, aura radiating out, arriving at the true immortal’s cave of the Ji clan.

“What a powerful aura!”

Ji Xuan Yi was cultivating when he sensed the Bi Fang ancestor’s aura. Immediately opening his eyes, he personally went to welcome him.

“Kid of the Ji clan, do you recognize me?” the Bi Fang ancestor spoke gruffly.

“Dare I ask, senior, are you the Bi Fang ancestor?” Ji Xuan Yi asked. As soon as he saw the Bi Fang ancestor, he knew this was an Immortal King, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

“It seems you have some perception,” the Bi Fang ancestor said with a laugh.

Ji Xuan Yi’s expression changed slightly. Why had the Bi Fang ancestor, who resided in the Immortal Realm, suddenly descended?

“I ask you, what is the whereabouts of the Bi Fang divine clan in the Yuan Realm?” the Bi Fang ancestor solemnly asked. “Why are all of you still present, yet my descendants are missing?

Could it be that you caused this trouble?”

“Senior, you jest,” Ji Xuan Yi said, his heart skipping a beat, his face showing a sorrowful expression. “The Daoist friends of the Bi Fang divine clan… ah…”

He sighed deeply.

The Bi Fang ancestor’s expression became slightly serious. “What exactly happened?”

“The Bi Fang divine clan has been exterminated,” Ji Xuan Yi said with profound sorrow. “The one responsible is the master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion.

At that time, I went to the Bi Fang divine clan along with Daoist friend Meng of the Da Meng Clan, but we could not avert the tragedy.”

“Master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion?” The Bi Fang ancestor was puzzled. Though he had a suspicion, hearing a name he had never known, he still felt bewildered.

His killing intent raged as he said coldly, “Who is this master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion? What is this person’s background?”

"Esteemed senior, no one knows the origins of the master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion, but he has vast divine abilities, knows all, can accomplish anything, and his fearsome reputation has long spread throughout all realms."

"It was because the Bi Fang divine clan offended him that they incurred the calamity of annihilation."

Boom!

The Bi Fang ancestor erupted with furious rage. His terrifying aura caused the Ji clan’s true immortal’s cave to groan under the pressure. The very fabric of space cracked inch by inch, countless offspring of the Ji clan trembling in terror.

"What audacity, this master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion!" The Bi Fang ancestor’s eyes were wide with rage. "How dare he touch my descendants! He must have a death wish!"

"Esteemed senior!"

Seeing the dangerous turn, Ji Xuan Yi urgently advised, "The master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion possesses formidable strength, absolutely not an easy mark. Esteemed senior, please do not act impulsively."

"An unknown nobody? However strong could he possibly be?"

The Bi Fang ancestor radiated murderous intent. He had cultivated for tens of millions of years, reaching the rank of an Immortal King. In the Immortal Realm, he commanded a territory, holding his strength with absolute confidence.

Seeing the Bi Fang ancestor’s mind was set, Ji Xuan Yi ceased his persuasion.

He looked at the Bi Fang ancestor and asked, "Esteemed senior, why have you descended so suddenly to the lower realm?"

The Bi Fang ancestor glanced at him. "Your own ancestors will not be long in returning to the Yuan Realm. It is the trend of the future."

Leaving those words hanging, the Bi Fang ancestor dissolved into a streak of light and vanished.

"Good advice can’t stop those destined to die."

Ji Xuan Yi shook his head bitterly. These beings who descended from the Immortal Realm, accustomed to their lofty perch, would likely taste immense suffering before understanding there are always greater mountains and more powerful men beyond the horizon.

"What turmoil has shaken the Immortal Realm?" Ji Xuan Yi frowned. The Bi Fang ancestor implied the descent of immortals wasn’t an isolated event but a widespread phenomenon.

…

Boom!

A shadow vast enough to blot out the heavens and earth enveloped Linglong City. Divine fire filled the skies, sweeping across millions of li, like a domain of molten magma intent on devouring the entire city.

"Daring to annihilate the Bi Fang divine clan? Then every one of you shall serve as burial companions for my descendants!"

The Bi Fang ancestor’s gaze was icy. He summoned great magic, ready to slaughter Linglong City.

"What is that?"

Divine fire blazed to the heavens. The temperature of the world spiked abruptly. The void melted.

Within Linglong City, countless cultivators stared at the scene, faces etched with terror.

"With the senior here…"

"It’ll be fine."

The City Lord of Linglong, having trained to the great circle of the Celestial God realm, stood firm as an unyielding rock even as the sea of divine fire surged towards them like a tsunami. He possessed the poise of one who remains unflinching even if Mount Tai crumbled before him.

"Another one hastening willingly to his death."

"These people truly never learn."

Two Great Emperors were drinking wine, witnessing the scene unmoved. Mocking smiles even played on their lips.

In today’s world, who didn’t know the Heaven’s Secret Pavilion was the foremost forbidden land? That someone would dare break ground upon Tai Sui itself? They refused the path to heaven yet forced their way into the very gates of hell.

Catastrophe loomed large, yet the people within Linglong City remained astonishingly calm, carrying on their tasks methodically.

“Pure Yang Great Dao?”

Lin Qianmo was still in Linglong City. She gazed into the distance at Bi Fang ancestor’s divine power, gently shook her head, and said, “What a vain loss of life.”

Boom!

The pure Yang Great Dao stamped the heavens and earth. In a flash, it almost devoured Linglong City.

At Heaven’s Secret Pavilion, Ye Xu slowly stood up.

He activated his Creation Divine Eyes. Great Dao Symbols intertwined in his pupils, helping him see through the flaws in Bi Fang ancestor’s divine power and spot that red-robed old man.

“Bi Fang?”

Ye Xu’s gaze flickered slightly. “He must be here for revenge,” he thought.

He channeled his mystic technique, causing his mana to surge.

Bang!

Instantly, endless sword energies descended. Each sword energy evolved from the Ultimate Yin Dao, specifically countering Bi Fang ancestor’s pure Yang Great Dao.

The endless sword energies condensed into a sword formation of Ultimate Yin, instantly shattering Bi Fang ancestor’s pure Yang divine power.

“The Master has taken action!”

That moment, the cultivators of Linglong City grew excited.

After several months, they could finally witness the master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion suppressing a powerful enemy again.

Lin Qianmo’s lips curved up slightly.

“Master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion, you’ve finally made your move!”

Bi Fang ancestor roared fiercely, “You slaughtered my descendants! Today, I’ll make you repay with your blood!”

“Annoying!”

Those two words came through.

Crash!

Before the heavens and earth, countless Divine Patterns of Creation manifested densely, forming a creation cage that trapped Bi Fang ancestor.

Ye Xu’s cultivation was at the peak of the Immortal King realm. Facing Bi Fang ancestor in the beginning stage of the Immortal King realm, he could easily suppress him even outside Heaven’s Secret Pavilion.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bi Fang ancestor looked startled. He immediately offered a true phoenix treasure robe. Immortal light of the Great Dao surged, and immense power flowed into his body.

He clasped his hands together, treating his palms as blades, and struck at the creation cage.

Clang!

A billion-zhang blade light descended, but the creation cage remained unmoved.

Bi Fang ancestor panicked. He offered another treasure, a green jade bottle with flowing divine patterns, exquisitely beautiful. Under his command, a terrifying force of absorption came from it, trying to devour the Great Dao of creation.

“Contract!”

Ye Xu said lightly. The creation cage kept shrinking, forcing Bi Fang ancestor to reduce his size. The green jade bottle’s power couldn’t contend with the Great Dao of creation.

“His strength is far beyond mine…” Bi Fang ancestor’s mind was in turmoil; this time, he’d kicked an iron plate.

Whoosh!

The next second, the creation cage flew toward Heaven’s Secret Pavilion.

“Master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion, even if you trap me, you can’t kill me,” gasped Bi Fang ancestor, weakening. He continually offered magical treasures, but none broke the cage.

However, Bi Fang ancestor refused to admit defeat.

In the Immortal King realm, the Great Dao remains unbroken. Only by reaching the Immortal Venerable realm at the end of the Great Dao could one fundamentally annihilate an Immortal King.

Bi Fang ancestor sensed that Ye Xu was strong, but his power still lay in the Immortal King realm.

He was still defiantly shouting.

The creation cage entered Heaven’s Secret Pavilion. Ye Xu looked at Bi Fang ancestor with an extremely amiable smile.

He’d known Bi Fang ancestor’s thoughts all along—it was merely counting on the mystery of the Great Dao remaining unbroken, allowing such audacity.

So, Ye Xu just imprisoned Bi Fang ancestor and took him to Heaven’s Secret Pavilion.

Once inside, the so-called unbreakable Great Dao was a mere joke.

Somehow, Bi Fang ancestor’s heart sank.

Ye Xu’s smile made him feel cold inside.

“This place doesn’t seem right,” thought Bi Fang ancestor to himself.

“Bi Fang ancestor, how would you like to die?”

Ye Xu said playfully, “I have many options here.”

“But since you’re rushing to your death so eagerly, I’ll let you choose for yourself.”
