Chapter 879: Thinking About You (1)

Outside the Skyrend Valley.

After observing the valley for a while, Tianduo looked at Mo Erba and the others, "We need to enter. The longer we wait, the more they can recover. And the humans might even send some help over. We need to act now to prevent anything unforeseen from happening."

The other devil geniuses nodded in agreement. Indeed. This matter should not be delayed.

Mo Erba coldly looked at the other geniuses gathered in the area and asked, "How about these people?"

"They will enter." Tianduo said, "Everyone here is a genius. And everyone wants a share of the profit. Everyone believes that they will be the survivor. Huang Teng is already seriously injured. Killing him might grant one a reward to progress greatly. Nobody here will give up on such a chance."

Nobody knew a genius better than another genius. Every genius believed that they were the child of destiny. All of them wanted to spread their name over the various realms. All of them wanted to affirm their dao to become an Invincible. Those without such ambitions would not be qualified to be called a genius.

Thus, as long as the devils entered, the others would enter as well. As for the saber qi in the valley, it had been so many years. These people might be wary of the saber qi, but they had their own ways of dealing with the saber qi.

Tianduo said, "If we wait further, the other human geniuses will get here. We're not afraid of someone like Qin Fang, but he might still cause enough disturbance to help Huang Teng escape. Let's set off."

Tianduo decided to stop waiting. In truth, it wasn't like they were waiting for nothing previously. He had merely been busy thinking of ways to deal with the saber qi. And he had finally figured out a solution.

The devils wasted no time and entered the Skyrend Valley through a spot with a lower density of saber qi.

Not far away.

The geniuses from the divine and some other minor races were gathered around An Mintian.

Noticing that Tianduo and the other devils had entered the valley, An Mintian glanced at his surroundings and said, "We'll enter from the north."

Since the devils had entered from the south, they would enter from the north and trap Huang Teng in the middle. At that order, the divines flew north and prepared to enter there.

After their departure, a different individual soared into the sky and coldly said, "Everyone, the divines and devils are surrounding Huang Teng from two directions. Is everyone interested in taking part?"

"Neither An Mintian nor Tianduo is weak. Be careful lest you fall into their trap."

"Long Zhan, are you entering?"

Someone asked Long Zhan of the celestial dragon race. Long Zhan merely glanced at the valley and ignored the question. Beside him, the golden dragon flew into the sky and shot into the Skyrend Valley without talking to Long Zhan.

Noticing that, Long Zhan raised his brow. That fellow from the golden dragon race sure was brazen. An Mintian was full of hostility toward him. That little dragon should be careful lest An Mintian take the chance to kill him in the valley.

He then smiled and vanished with a flicker. At the same time, the saber qi above the Skyrend Valley flickered slightly, signifying his entry. The three major races had entered! Subsequently, the saber qi around the valley started flickering here and there as more and more people entered from different directions.

***

In a forest not far from the Skyrend Valley.

Several individuals were hovering above a massive tree. There were males and females among them. And all of them were very young.

When Long Zhan entered the valley, a young woman in the group laughed and said, "Interesting. The divines, devils, and dragons have all entered. The humans are in great trouble this time. I wonder who Great Xia would send to them."

Beside the woman was a long-haired youth. The youth was ethereal and elegant. He was also looking at the Skyrend Valley.

When he heard those words, he smiled, "Jiu Xuan, do you think Huang Teng will die?"

The woman called Jiu Xuan said, "I don't know. As the genius Great Xia has invested in, he is definitely someone capable. His reputation is very good among the humans. I don't think he can die so easily."

The long-haired youth nodded, "Yes. He won't die so easily. There must be a reason for Huang Teng to come here."

His voice turned profound as he said, "But if some people decide to set up an ambush between the Skyrend Valley and Eastrift Valley...things might get difficult for him."

Jiu Xuan said, "Big Brother Dao Cheng, we're allied with the humans. Don't do anything rash."

"Of course." The long-haired youth said, "The humans are mired in crisis. They need our help. How could I make things hard for them?"

With a laugh, he swung his hand. A jade talisman shot into the sky and vanished into thin air.

Jiu Xuan looked at him and said, "Big Brother Dao Cheng, what are you doing?"

"Cui Lang killed two geniuses from the mystic armor race. The mystic armor race won't spare him. What a pity that there are too many geniuses here. The experts of the mystic armor race might not be able to even reach this place. But they can simply hide somewhere else and wait for a bit. Perhaps a nice surprise will drop into their laps."

In the Allheaven Battlefield, the places with a large gathering of young geniuses would actually start repelling the experts of the senior generation. Even if the mystic armors wanted to take their revenge, their people would merely lose their way in the Plain of Desires. Thus, the better choice was to not come here at all. Instead, they could wait between this place and the human territory. That would be much safer for them.

Jiu Xuan said, "Big Brother Dao Cheng, are you sure you didn't miscalculate?"

The long-haired youth replied with a tranquil expression, "There are only three safe paths one can take from the Skyrend Valley to the human territory. These are the shortest paths where one won't go through any danger zones. It is also very unlikely for one to encounter strong opponents taking these paths..."

"What if they don't try to return?" Jiu Xuan argued, "What if they decide to head further west?"

"Head further west?"

Dao Cheng laughed and said nothing. That would be the same as throwing their lives away. There was the Heavendoom City to the west. And the portal to the Mystic Armor Realm was near that area as well. Additionally, those ancient cities had always been extremely dangerous. And if they continued heading west, they would enter the demon territory.

The Skyrend Valley was the furthest these humans could go if they wanted to keep living. This was the same as how these geniuses would rarely go beyond the Eastrift Valley toward the human territory. Most of the people that had done so were already dead.

Jiu Xuan did not argue further. With a gentle smile, she said, "Big Brother Dao Cheng, what do you think about Cui Lang? He was completely unknown before this. Is there a secret behind his sudden emergence?"

"Cui Lang?" Dao Cheng muttered to himself. He said, "I'll try to make a divination about him. This is someone who has suddenly become famous. Perhaps there is a need for us to take note of him as well."

After saying that, several characters appeared above his palm. They arranged themselves in a specific order and Cui Lang's appearance appeared in Dao Cheng's mind. That was the appearance recorded in the Heavenly Hunt Index.

He started manipulating those characters, sending strand after strand of willpower into them. He stared intently at the characters while around him, the other immortals also looked over curiously.

Dao Cheng was known for his divination skills. In this aspect, he stood at the very top among his generation even in the Immortal Realm. Eventually, the characters combined to form a water mirror. Slowly, Cui Lang's appearance appeared in the mirror.

Women.

There were countless women around Cui Lang.

The scene vanished in an instant. The immortals frowned while Jiu Xuan laughed in amusement. None of them said anything. Dao Cheng also shook his head. For some reason, this divination felt a lot more difficult than usual. Was it because he was doing it in the Plain of Desires?

Suddenly, the surface of the mirror rippled and a different scene appeared. Standing opposite Cui Lang was a different individual with a blurry appearance.

"A man?"

Jiu Xuan joked. Cui Lang had been surrounded by nothing but women. Thus, she was amused when she saw that a man had appeared. Right at that moment, the mirror exploded.

Even Dao Cheng was forced to take several steps back. He raised his brow and smiled, "Looks like a powerhouse is masking his fate. They might have done this in advance to prevent any prying. Great Ming has indeed produced an interesting individual."

Apart from countless women, they didn't manage to see much Just what was that? Dao Cheng shook his head. Could someone like that really walk far in the path of dao? Or perhaps this was merely a ripple in the sea, one that would vanish before long.

***

At that moment.

Human Realm.

Heart Paradise Island.

Niu Baidao looked up at the sky and sighed. Damn it! That damn brat had been running around attracting numerous eyes again. That divination ability was not weak at all. In fact, it was able to transcend realms to enter the Human Realm. But it also didn't feel excessively strong. After thinking about it, Niu Baidao muttered, "Someone from the immortal race? Is it a Mountainsea?"

That person shouldn't be too strong. If it was a Sunmoon, he would have a harder time blocking the divination. If it was an Invincible, he wouldn't be able to block it. He had been able to block the prying without even trying.

Niu Baidao shook his head gloomily. Didn't the brat promise to return after retrieving some stuff from his ruin? Screw that! Was the brat going to say that the ruin was in the Allheaven Battlefield?

Bullshit!

"Immortals...hehe."

Niu Baidao suddenly sneered when he thought of the immortals again. It was probably them. Very few races were proficient with divination. And the ability to transcend realms was even rarer.

The real Cui Lang was in the Human Realm. Performing a divination on someone in the Allheaven Battlefield was different than performing it on someone in their home realm.

"I wonder if they managed to see anything."

Niu Baidao stroked his beard, wondering about the divination technique used. If it was one that focused on the target’s true self, it wouldn't be too much of an issue. If it was one capable of determining the target’s location, it would be very troublesome.

Time to disrupt the flow of fate.

At that thought, he waved his hand and summoned a massive formation over the Heart Paradise Island. The entire island darkened. After a short moment, the formation faded away and the island returned to normal.

"How did that brat provoke even the immortals?"

Niu Baidao sighed again. It was fine for that brat to kill some immortals as well, but he absolutely mustn't do what he did to the mystic armors and kill the immortals in the open. That would cause endless trouble.

When a human wanted to kill some immortals, they would do it secretly. In fact, that was also what the immortals had been doing to the human race as well. Both sides had an unspoken rule they followed.

No matter what, they were still official allies. They were supposed to work together against the divines and devils. Neither of them would benefit from openly going against each other.

"I hope you realize that as well, Brat."

Niu Baidao sat down cross-legged as suns and moons revolved in his eyes. He stopped thinking about Su Yu. It wasn't like he could do anything to help that brat. Instead, he looked toward the north. That was the direction of Great Xia. There, the Multiple Character Faculty was going to open soon.

Chaos was coming.

"I suppose it's not a bad thing for that brat to spend more time in the Allheaven Battlefield. I'm only worried that he would cause more trouble. If he's focused only on cultivating, the Allheaven Battlefield is probably safer for him than the Human Realm."

He shook his head helplessly. In fact, the brat would be able to progress much faster if he focused only on cultivation in the Allheaven Battlefield. But that damn brat was not the type of person who could stop stirring shit.
