Chapter 248: A Timely Favor in the Snow
“How did I hear about achieving sainthood?”
Before Lu Ye had even arrived, his voice already echoed in everyone’s ears.
“Uh, achieving sainthood might be a stretch, but I heard becoming a Celestial Lord is definitely in reach!”
“Right, right! I heard one could become a saint! Just think about it, why would a Celestial Lord need to be reborn? If you were a Celestial Lord, would you want to be reborn?”
“I guess not…”
“So you see, the Celestial Lord’s rebirth must be for the purpose of becoming a saint. He probably has the chance to attain sainthood.”
“Uh… I still think sainthood sounds a bit exaggerated. Where is that fellow Daoist? Why can’t I see you?”
Lu Ye chuckled while his eyes gleamed with coldness.
Perfect!
They’ve completely spilled the beans about the rebirth.
Who said it?
Was it Shangguan Huanling who let it slip?
Or was it someone else?
Maybe Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion could look into it.
Lu Ye had no clue how word had spread about him, but in no time, it had nearly circulated throughout the Third Heaven.
Could they capture Lu Ye?
If not, it would be bad news. With Lu Ye’s formidable control techniques, he could easily take out the whole Third Heaven without breaking a sweat.
As Lu Ye sped towards the Eternal Order Sect, he also considered taking a trip to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s headquarters to find out who leaked this information.
The Eternal Order Sect had also caught wind of Lu Ye leaving the Three Valleys Abyss and had prepared a grand gift.
As soon as Lu Ye approached the Eternal Order Sect’s territory, they would promptly present him with their gift to seek peace.
They absolutely could not let Lu Ye near the Eternal Order Sect.
But before Lu Ye even reached the Eternal Order Sect, a brand new piece of news broke.
The Three Valleys Abyss’s formation has been breached!
This news instantly ignited a stir across the entire Third Heaven.
The Eternal Order Sect was equally shocked.
What about the grand gift they had prepared?
“Quickly summon the Elder! Hold on any actions for now, let’s first assess Lu Ye’s strength and confirm whether the Three Valleys Abyss’s formation has indeed collapsed!”
Lu Ye also caught wind of this news and raised an eyebrow.
The ancient formation in the Three Valleys Abyss had the capacity for destruction? Was this the work of the Darkness Origin?
If this had happened when Lu Ye was still in the Destined Realm, he would have lashed out at the Darkness Origin and its entire lineage.
But now, wasn’t the Darkness Origin’s act a fortuitous one?
Lu Ye wanted to see who had broken the great formation; there were bound to be traces left behind.
He shot towards the Three Valleys Abyss at high speed.
Not just him, many others were also heading towards the Three Valleys Abyss.
With the Three Valleys Abyss out of the way, many powerful beings thought Lu Ye didn’t have the strength to eradicate the Return to One Realm.
After all, Lu Ye had spent too little time in the Third Heaven.
Even if he cultivated with all his might, how far could he really progress?
He probably hadn’t even reached the Three-Life Realm.
When Lu Ye arrived, he was taken aback.
Wow, there are this many people gathered already?
The Three Valleys Abyss was now surrounded inside and out.
“Where is he?”
“Did he escape early? No worries, let’s ask Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion for his location!”
Lu Ye listened to their chatter, his aura surfacing.
The Emperor’s Banner fluttered behind him.
“Are you all looking for me?” Lu Ye spoke loudly.
Instantly, countless gazes turned towards Lu Ye.
Upon seeing him, those gazes turned fiery.
“You’re the reincarnation of a Celestial Lord?” someone blurted out impatiently.
“If I say I’m not, would you believe me?” Lu Ye replied with a smile.
“A bit hard to believe, but if you swear, then I’ll believe you.”
Lu Ye lightly shook his head.
“You want me to swear just like that? Who do you think you are?”
The person getting scolded didn’t get mad; instead, he was overjoyed.
“Indeed, his identity is very likely that of a reincarnated powerful being. Everyone, our fortune has arrived!”
The value of a powerful being’s reincarnation is immense.
No matter the divine techniques or treasured items, or the vast treasures, if they gathered under one person, it would undoubtedly create a brand new top-tier powerhouse.
“Fortune exists, but the greater the fortune, the greater the risk.”
“I have a thirty-mile radius around me; anyone who enters will die. Those not afraid of death can come!”
Some looked at Lu Ye with trepidation, unsure of his capabilities.
Others were excited, eager to charge in.
Among a crowd that large, out of ten, there were always one or two looking to make a quick profit; no wonder just a short time later, several hundred people had gathered in this place.
In an instant, a dozen figures charged towards Lu Ye.
But as soon as they entered Lu Ye’s thirty-mile range, their eyes turned red.
Their speed surged by a third.
The Stone Sword let out a melodious whistle, and the sword light, accompanied by a terrifying gust and booming sound, sliced through the group into pieces.
Lu Ye stepped forward, heading towards the Three Valleys Abyss.
Some regretted their rashness, while stronger opponents rushed in.
The sword light continued to rumble, the sound far more terrifying than a sonic boom. The overwhelming force compressed the air, turning it into vacuum wherever it passed.
“Boom! Boom! Boom…”
Blood mists erupted everywhere.
Whether in the Causal Realm or the Three-Life Realm, all were obliterated by a single sword strike.
Not even a second strike was needed.
“I don’t believe this!”
Finally, an opponent from the Return to One Realm couldn’t contain himself. Glimmering golden light appeared around his hands, and instantly a massive golden palm print shot towards Lu Ye from thirty miles away.
The move from the Return to One Realm immediately caught the attention of many.
Right, since entering Lu Ye’s thirty-mile radius causes confusion, does that mean ranged attacks wouldn’t trigger it?
So one after another, ranged attacks filled the sky.
Lu Ye shook his head in exasperation.
What are these people thinking?
Do they think he’s just a log, unable to defend himself?
As Lu Ye flickered, in the next moment, everyone’s eyes turned red again.
Sword light whistled through the air.
Jiang Die appeared outside the Emperor’s Banner, dazzling in purple light.
With a sudden shriek,
In an instant, those who weren’t dead could see their souls separating directly from their bodies.
While their bodies remained in place, their souls shot backwards in the wake of that shriek.
The sword light struck even faster!
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Three Valleys Abyss had turned into a river of blood, with corpses strewn everywhere!
Lu Ye lightly waved the Emperor’s Banner, the gray mist transforming into black fog, which then shifted to purple qi, merging into the Soul River, aiding the growth of the Emperor’s Banner.
He began to clean up the battlefield.
The Vermilion Bird flames ignited.
Countless corpses turned to ash, leaving useful items behind, and finally, Lu Ye arrived at the formation.
He scrutinized it closely, and slowly, his gaze began to light up with excitement.
Sword Qi…
It turned out to be the Sword Qi from the Great Slaughter Sword Canon! Chu Ling finally figured it out!
She finally realized how essential the Emperor’s Banner was!
Lines of causality extended in all directions, and Lu Ye began searching for his connection with Chu Ling.
Hmm?
Not found?
He didn’t believe in such bad luck. “System, help me track down Chu Ling’s whereabouts!”
“Also, look for Yue Hongling and Bai Qiulan’s locations.”
“Ding, what about Shangguan Huanling?”
The system asked eagerly.
“No need to look for her.”
“Ding, got it!”
Before the system could find them, a figure had already flown towards Lu Ye.
Lu Ye stared at the approaching figure, dumbfounded.
