Chapter 926, Isolating Radiance

Translator: Silavin

 

After the Sacred Martial City Envoy departed from Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, the Sacred Land’s sphere of influence became restless. Countless Forces watched Brilliant Sky Sacred Land with eager eyes.

 

“You’ve completed your check, the Sacred Martial City Envoy has really left. Surely these Compound Pills should appear now!?”

 

Under this intense scrutiny, Brilliant Sky Sacred Land finally began receiving numerous First Tier Forces.

 

However, among these Forces, Radiance Sacred Land and its subordinate affiliated Forces were conspicuously absent!

 

Moreover, what made this even more incredible was that for those Forces they did receive, Brilliant Sky Sacred Land provided Compound Pills, but required each Force’s leader to promise they absolutely could not give even a single Compound Pill to Radiance Sacred Land!

 

If any Force was discovered providing Compound Pills to Radiance Sacred Land, they could forget about ever obtaining another Compound Pill from Brilliant Sky Sacred Land!

 

Faced with Brilliant Sky Sacred Master’s resolute attitude, after weighing the pros and cons, numerous Forces silently accepted this condition. One after another, they paid painful prices before departing like they had acquired treasures, carrying Compound Pills back to their Sects.

 

After all, everyone had long heard about the conflicts between Brilliant Sky Sacred Land and Radiance Sacred Land.

 

Moreover, previously Brilliant Sky Sacred Land had nearly been swept away and replaced by Sky Cliff Pavilion, which Radiance Sacred Land had instigated.

 

Though this action might provoke Radiance Sacred Land’s fury, with most top-tier forces’ tacit agreement, surely even Radiance Sacred Land could not direct their rage toward so many Forces simultaneously?

 

…

 

While the outside world were excited over the Compound Pills, within Radiance Sacred Land, the atmosphere was extraordinarily heavy.

 

Within the great hall.

 

Radiance Sacred Master’s expression could be described as ugly to the extreme. Waves of vast Momentum continuously emanated from his body. Within the hall, everyone prostrated on the ground, not daring to even raise their heads.

 

Among them was Chen Feng.

 

The mission to kill Qin Yichen had failed.

 

Chen Feng returned gravely injured.

 

This itself dealt a tremendous blow to Radiance Sacred Land.

 

Undoubtedly, after this incident, Radiance Sacred Land would protect Qin Yichen even more carefully, leaving them with even fewer opportunities to act.

 

Furthermore, there was the current situation.

 

This was clearly isolating Radiance Sacred Land!

 

Moreover, this could practically be called Brilliant Sky Sacred Land sanctioning Radiance Sacred Land!

 

This was what the Radiance Sacred Master found most unacceptable.

 

“Sacred Master…” A figure entered from outside, swiftly kneeling on the ground.

 

“Speak.” An icy voice emerged from Radiance Sacred Master’s mouth.

 

“Sacred Master, not a single Force is willing to provide even one Compound Pill. Even when promised numerous benefits, they refuse…” The person spoke while wiping sweat.

 

“Outrageous!” An enraged voice echoed from within the hall. Inside, all furnishings and implements were completely shattered. “How dare they defy my Radiance Sacred Land!?”

 

“Sacred Master, they appear to have formed an alliance…” The person’s voice grew softer and softer, barely daring to continue.

 

Those Forces that obtained Compound Pills forming an alliance represented no small force. Naturally, Radiance Sacred Land could annihilate them, but that would require Radiance Sacred Master personally acting.

 

However, Sacred Martial City would never permit this.

 

Sacred Martial City allowed all Forces to compete, because only thus would more experts emerge. But Saints represented existences that destroyed the balance.

 

Sacred Martial City would not allow such situations.

 

“That detestable old decrepit Yu, how dare he scheme against me!” The Radiance Sacred Master’s heart burned with hatred.

 

However, he had not considered that if Radiance Sacred Land had developed the Compound Pill, he would likely have done far worse.

 

He might even have incited those Forces to attack Brilliant Sky Sacred Land.

 

These were all possibilities. Yet Brilliant Sky Sacred Land had merely isolated Radiance Sacred Land.

 

“Sacred Master, actually obtaining Compound Pills is quite easy.” Chen Feng, whose injuries had just healed, once again straightened his back to speak.

 

“Continue.” Radiance Sacred Master stared at him for some time, complexity flashing through his eyes. [Could it be that besides Chen Feng, Radiance Sacred Land had no one else!?]

 

“If those Forces refuse to give them, then we’ll simply take them by force. Please allow me to bring several Elders. Tomorrow, I’ll retrieve the Compound Pills!” As he spoke, an imperceptible curve formed at the corner of Chen Feng’s mouth.

 

He wanted the Radiance Sacred Master to increasingly depend on him. Only thus would he have sufficient growth space to strengthen himself. When the day came that Radiance Sacred Master discovered the rabbit at his feet had transformed into a fierce tiger, it would already be too late!

 

“Granted.” After considerable time, the Radiance Sacred Master finally spoke, coldly uttering this one word.

 

He suspected Chen Feng’s intentions and even wanted to eliminate Chen Feng. However, undeniably, current Radiance Sacred Land could not do without Chen Feng.

 

…

 

Within Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, Brilliant Sky Sacred Master’s statement about personal training clearly was not mere talk.

 

Once the three-day period passed, Yu Qianqiu appeared atop the mountain peak where Qin Yichen resided.

 

“This Junior pays respects to the Sacred Master.” Seeing the Brilliant Sky Sacred Master appear, Qin Yichen bowed respectfully.

 

“En, follow me.” Yu Qianqiu glanced at Qin Yichen, speaking indifferently.

 

Qin Yichen nodded. During these three days, he had spared no wasted effort in refining the Seven Sacred Fire Lingzi and numerous rare Fire Element medicinal materials obtained at the auction into Pills, which he had given to Feng Qianxue.

 

Presumably, even with her capabilities, absorbing these Pills would require at least a month.

 

Yu Qianqiu was an authentic Saint. Obtaining personal guidance from a Saint represented a tremendous opportunity countless people could not obtain even by begging. Naturally, Qin Yichen understood how precious this personal training was.

 

*Whoosh!* Above the sky, Yu Qianqiu stepped forward, his form already several hundred metres away. Qin Yichen’s form also transformed into a flowing light, following closely. However, no matter how much he pushed his speed to the limit, he still could not surpass the figure ahead.

 

Within the Inner Sect, numerous Elders detected this commotion. Upon seeing the two, they all hastily bowed and gave way. Only after the pair departed did their gazes fill with puzzlement as they watched their retreating figures, clearly the Brilliant Sky Sacred Master was personally leading Qin Yichen.

 

“Sacred Master, where are we going?” In merely moments, the two had already reached deep within the Sacred Land. Qin Yichen could not help but ask.

 

Yu Qianqiu did not turn his head, his voice slowly transmitting. “Your cultivation realm is too low. Even with a breakthrough within half a year, reaching the Martial Ancestor Realm will be too difficult. With your current strength, forget climbing the Heaven Stairway, you’d probably be unable to even stand steadily on the first step.”

 

Qin Yichen’s expression slightly hardened. He also understood the Heaven Stairway’ difficulty, but he had not imagined that in Brilliant Sky Sacred Master’s eyes, he was so inadequate he could not even stand on the first step.
