The Most Generous Master Ever

Chapter 92: Chaotic Battle, Tianji Zi’s Dark History

“Damn it!” Ye Qiu was furious. Even though he had already unleashed his full strength, he still couldn’t catch up to the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow in front of him.

Just as his master had said back then, the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow could travel tens of thousands of kilometers with a flap of its wings. Even if Ye Qiu kept teleporting, he couldn’t catch up to it.

However, he still did not want to give up this rare opportunity. He might not be so lucky next time if he didn’t kill the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow now and wait for it to recover.

Ye Qiu knew very well that the reason why he was able to heavily injure the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow was because he had taken advantage of the sneak attack.

In addition, this was the first time it had used a divine skill like the Chaotic Dance Strikes the Sky. The Heaven Swallowing Sparrow had never seen such a divine skill and was caught off guard.

It would probably be on guard next time.

“Stand down…” A cold shout resounded through the clouds. A sword energy tore through the sky and slashed towards the other side of the clouds.

“Oh my god, this is too cruel.”

Everyone in the Land of Silence was dumbfounded. They had all heard of Ye Qiu’s previous achievements and knew his strength. But it wasn’t that ridiculous.

Previously, he had only beaten one or two Cardinals. And now? Good lord…

A person chasing after the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow? What kind of immortal figure was this?

“Crazy, they’re all crazy… I’ve never seen anyone force the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow to this extent.”

“A Cardinal is fighting a Paragon? This is offending a superior.”

“That’s not an ordinary Paragon. It’s a ferocious descendant with an ancient bloodline.”

“How dare he.”

For a moment, everyone was shocked and could not believe the scene before them.

That sword energy cut through the void, crossed the entire forest, and ruthlessly slashed towards the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow.

The Heaven Swallowing Sparrow broke out in cold sweat. With the lesson from before, it already understood that the sword technique of this young human cultivator in front of it was extremely terrifying.

That strike just now had almost taken its life. How could it dare to show off and receive this move?

The Heaven Swallowing Sparrow suddenly turned around and dived towards the ground, dodging the sword energy. It instantly opened its mouth and let out a furious roar that emitted a shocking power. It devoured all living beings within a radius of several kilometers.

Ye Qiu’s face darkened as he carefully observed the flowing runes around it when he saw this scene. It could vaguely feel that its injuries were slowly recovering.

“Hmm… So it needs to devour to heal?”

Ye Qiu seemed to have caught some clues. Rumor had it that the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow was a huge bird that existed when the world was in chaos. It originally existed in the East Sea and coexisted on the Mulberry Tree with the divine bird, the Three-legged Golden Crow.

The Three-legged Golden Crow would only appear during the day and use the holy light to bless the world and enjoy a good reputation.

As for it… it would come out at night to hunt for food. All living beings that it saw would not be able to escape the outcome of being devoured by it. It used to devour living beings to nourish its body. It had devoured countless living beings in the long years.

Gradually, its strength began to increase rapidly and it successfully stepped into the ranks of the primordial giants.

The Heaven Swallowing Sparrow was notorious because it used devouring as its cultivation method, forming a sharp contrast with the Three-legged Golden Crow.

The world hated and feared it.

Ye Qiu had read through ancient books and it had once mentioned that there was a world-destroying purge during a certain period of time. And the driving force behind this calamity was the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow.

It wanted to devour all the living beings in the world and completely control the world. Its thoughts were extremely crazy.

Unfortunately, it failed!

It indirectly caused great chaos because of the great calamity that it instigated, and the myriad races began to rise. Batch after batch of powerful primordial ferocious beasts gradually appeared on the stage of history.

After a long war in an era, the strongest ten great ferocious beasts were gradually determined. Among them was the True Dragon, the original owner of the bone that Ye Qiu had obtained last time.

The appearance of the Ten Fiends shattered the beautiful dream of the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow. Of course, these were only legends. Many things from ancient times had already become vague.

Moreover, this Heaven Devouring Sparrow was not the same giant bird that had devoured everything in the past. This was only one of its bloodline inheritances. Otherwise, Ye Qiu would probably have died with a single glance if it was the legendary Heaven Swallowing Sparrow.

“Can it swallow anything?” Ye Qiu muttered as he watched the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow devour crazily. Just as he was about to pull out the Cloudy Heavens Sword and deal with this scourge…

“Roar…”

A loud roar came from the other side of the mountain.

In an instant, the world trembled. A shocking power was instantly released, and everyone was forced to retreat.

Ye Qiu turned around and saw that the owner of the roar was the giant turtle. It finally erupted after being continuously attacked by the Suanni.

It forced the Suanni back with just a roar. The old turtle slowly slapped down with its palm, and the power of law with a fierce and domineering might ruthlessly slapped towards the Suanni. Even the Suanni, who was so powerful, could feel the aura of death under this palm. It instantly evolved a lightning technique and tried its best to resist.

Such a world-shaking strike should have produced brilliant sparks. Unexpectedly, on the other side of the mountain, a demon ape holding a huge rod silently climbed up.

“That’s… Zhuyan?”

Everyone was shocked. Another ancient ferocious beast appeared after the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow.

The Zhuyan held the iron rod and climbed up the mountain. It suddenly jumped and smashed down from the sky. In an instant, thunder rumbled and sparks flew. The entire Land of Silence was in chaos.

The Zhuyan struck the giant turtle’s shell with its rod. The giant turtle let out an angry roar and slapped it away.

Since dawn, the battle had completely begun. The entire Land of Silence was in darkness. The surrounding creatures and the nearby villages were all affected.

“Interesting, this is getting more and more interesting…” In the sky, Ye Qiu gradually became excited as he watched this crazy scene. He turned around and looked at the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow. The injuries in its body had improved after a massacre. Ye Qiu saw that the situation was not right and retreated.

He originally wanted to pull out the Cloudy Heavens Sword and deal with the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow. But now he has changed his mind.

“I want to see what this so-called mountain treasure is that can attract so many great dangers.” Ye Qiu’s figure faded away as he muttered. The Heaven Swallowing Sparrow, who had recovered, was just about to settle scores with Ye Qiu when it suddenly discovered that Ye Qiu had already disappeared.

It let out an angry roar. With hatred, the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow anxiously wanted to find Ye Qiu and take revenge for the sword just now.

It also discovered the Zhuyan’s intrusion. At this moment, the giant turtle was already surrounded by two great ferocious beasts. The mountain treasure on its back had faint traces of falling.

The Heaven Swallowing Sparrow didn’t think too much and instantly entered the battle. Compared to revenge, this mountain treasure was more important to it. This concerned whether it could break through its limits and enter another realm.

“Oh my god, three great Paragon beings! To besiege an old and frail turtle, is this a loss of morals or a lack of humanity…” In the Jade-Lake Holy Land’s team, Xiao Yi stared blankly at the battle above his head and complained.

Just as he was about to retort, a slap ruthlessly slapped over.

“Oww…” Xiao Yi was shocked. He thought that someone had ambushed him. He turned around and saw that it was Ye Qiu.

“Damn, Senior, when did you come back?! You scared me. I thought that someone was coveting my beauty and plotting against me.”

Xiao Yi patted his chest as if he was scared to death.

This made the men from the Jake-Lake speechless…

Was this person serious?

The people from Jake-Lake couldn’t understand why a calm expert like Ye Qiu would have such a weirdo by his side. His behavior was like a local hooligan, but sometimes, he still had some sense of propriety and knew shame. They wondered if he was pretending.

Any disciple present seemed to be stronger than him in terms of talent. They really couldn’t figure out why Ye Qiu would bring him along. He was neither his disciple nor his family. This didn’t make sense. It was understandable to bring a beauty, but to bring a man…

Hmm? Fuyao was delighted when she saw Ye Qiu return silently. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly realized something. Perhaps a little embarrassed, she could only ask curiously, “Senior, when did you come back?”

Ye Qiu looked at her indifferently and said, “Just now!”

The Jake-Lake Saintess was indeed very beautiful. She was quiet and elegant. She was dressed in a pure white dress, holy and flawless. She was like a fairy who had been left behind in the mortal world. Her every move could distract one’s mind and fall for her charms irresistibly.

Ye Qiu inadvertently admired it.?Of course, I was just admiring it out of a man’s nature. Everyone, don’t misunderstand. I don’t mean anything else.

Fuyao nodded. Ye Qiu said, “Are you all alright?”

“We’re fine. The battle just now didn’t affect us.” Fuyao replied obediently. Ye Qiu nodded in satisfaction.

Han Shengyi finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Qiu return. There were so many juniors here, and he felt a little helpless now that the Land of Silence was so chaotic. If what happened just now happened again, he would really be unable to explain himself.

“Phew… Fellow Daoist, you’re finally back!” Wiping away his cold sweat, Han Shengyi continued, “My heart is a little fragile at my age. If I can’t catch my breath, I’ll die. How can I justify it?”

Ye Qiu was delighted. He didn’t expect this old man to be so humorous.

“I’m convinced today! Just now, Fellow Daoist’s sword strike could be said to be earth-shattering. After this battle, Fellow Daoist’s reputation will probably spread throughout the entire Eastern Wasteland.”

Han Shengyi boasted. This was what he thought from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Qiu had severely injured the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow with a single strike. He had injured a Paragon as a Cardinal. Such a thing had never happened in the Eastern Wasteland. Furthermore, this was an ancient ferocious and notorious Heaven Swallowing Sparrow.

He had a feeling that from now on, Ye Qiu’s name would definitely spread throughout the entire Eastern Wasteland.

“Haha…” Ye Qiu smiled. He had never cared about his reputation. He only cared about his mood. Just now, he only wanted to try his sword and the power of the Chaotic Dance Strikes the Sky.

Ye Qiu didn’t care if he could defeat the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow and make a name for himself. If he cared, he wouldn’t have gone up at all because this matter had its pros and cons. It would be fine if he won, but if he lost, he would be the one who would be embarrassed. All kinds of curses like arrogance, ignorance, and stupidity would come.

However, on the whole, the ending was not bad.

“What reputation? I don’t care.” After a while, Ye Qiu looked at the battle on the Southern Ridge in a daze and continued, “At this moment, what I’m more concerned about is what treasure is hidden in that copper coffin that can attract three Paragon ferocious beasts at the same time?”

Han Shengyi admired Ye Qiu’s words. If it were him, he would probably be overjoyed. Who could resist the temptation of being famous in the Great Desolate? Please, it was super cool, okay?

He would be able to gain fame from this. Wherever he went in the future, he would be the target of admiration and discussion.

However, Ye Qiu acted very naturally, as if this was an insignificant matter to him.

Regarding this, not only Han Shengyi, but Fuyao also admired him from the bottom of her heart.

The disciples behind her were also shocked. Unknowingly, they felt that Ye Qiu’s image had become even greater.

Perhaps this was the mentality that a powerhouse should have.

As for the copper coffin…

Han Shengyi shook his head. “I don’t know either! This huge turtle has appeared for many days. Until today, no one knows the secret in the copper coffin. However, since that copper coffin is so tempting, this treasure is definitely not simple.”

Ye Qiu agreed and continued to watch the battle.

Boom…

The world shook with an earth-shattering bang. In the chaotic fog, the three ferocious beasts attacked the old turtle at the same time, wanting to knock down the copper coffin on its back.

However, the old turtle was too strong. Even if it was one against three, it could still face them calmly.

As they continued to watch the battle, more and more people rushed in.

The battle did not stop even when the sky gradually brightened.

Early in the morning, the sun shone. The sea of flames did not reduce. Instead, it became stronger and had already spread to more than half of the Wasteland.

On the other side, above the Suanni, the sky was gloomy, like a sign of heavy rain. Lightning flashed frequently.

The Zhuyan held an iron rod and hammered the giant turtle like a god of war. It even took the time to attack the other two giant beasts.

“Oh my god, what happened here?”

Outside the Land of Silence, those who had just entered this area were shocked by this shocking scene.

The ground was in a mess and covered with countless remains. A crack had appeared on the ground and several large mountains had been razed.

A few beams of light flew over from the horizon. The person who came was an old man in a Daoist robe. This person had a kind face and an immortal aura.

“Isn’t that the First Elder of the Jade-Lake Holy Land?”

“D*mn, why is this powerhouse attracted here?”

For a moment, the surrounding crowd was amazed.

As Jiang Jiezhi entered, it attracted the heated discussion of countless people, and the scene erupted.

Suddenly, a few more lights flashed and another team appeared on the ground.

“Isn’t that… Daoist Tiantong?”

Another powerhouse appeared, and the atmosphere instantly reached a climax.

The Heavenly Lake First Elder also came to the battlefield after Jake-Lake’s First Elder appeared.

The two powerhouses exchanged pleasantries when they met.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Jiang, what brings you here today?” Daoist Tiantong greeted him politely.

Jiang Jiezhi was in charge of the Jake-Lake since he’s the First Elder. He had the mission to nurture the next Jake-Lake Fairy and had almost never left the mountain in the past hundred years.

Daoist Tiantong was really curious as to why he suddenly came here today. He wouldn’t have come if it was only for the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow.

Jiang Jiezhi stroked his beard and said calmly, “Fellow Daoist, why ask when you already know the answer…”

Daoist Tiantong smiled. He, of course, understood. In this world, only Fuyao could invite this old monster. Because she was the next successor of the Jake-Lake Fairy, and it concerned the fate of the entire Jade-Lake Holy Land.

Jiang Jiezhi didn’t care about anything except Fuyao. Clearly, Fuyao might have encountered some danger, so he hurriedly left the mountain.

The two of them greeted each other briefly and were about to enter the Land of Silence.

At this moment, a few more lights flew over from afar.

The two of them were stunned. They stared blankly at the leading old man and were a little confused.

“Hmm… Tianji Zi?”

“He’s here too?”

The two of them were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other in disbelief.

They were extremely familiar with this old man.

This person was the First Elder of the Immortal Mountain Holy Land, Tianji Zi, a half-step to Paragon realm expert.

“That’s strange. Didn’t they say that he has already comprehended the Paragon realm and is in seclusion? Why would he suddenly leave the mountain…” Daoist Tiantong muttered to himself. Many years ago, he had heard that Tianji Zi had already had the opportunity to break through and entered the forbidden land for his seclusion.

Now that he had appeared, he couldn’t help but wonder if he had already broken through.

As soon as Tianji Zi appeared, Li Daoyuan, Li Changkong, and the others, who had already retreated from the Land of Silence, immediately went up to greet him and bowed respectfully.

“Haha, Fellow Daoists, long time no see. So you’re still alive?” Tianji Zi teased as soon as he arrived.

As people of the same generation, they were opponents who were like fire and water back then. They had fought for most of their lives, but they had yet to come to a conclusion. A hundred years had passed in a flash, and many old friends had already been buried. There were not many left alive.

Therefore, when old fellows like them met, they often teased each other out of habit.

Jiang Jiezhi blew at his beard and said, “You’re not dead yet. How can I go before you? Old man, I heard that you have been in seclusion for decades and have broken through to the Paragon realm. Have you already passed that Life Gate?”

Jiang Jiezhi asked curiously. Tianji Zi didn’t answer directly and only smiled. The answer was ambiguous. No one could guess. This was in line with his personality. He was shrewd and liked to hide his shortcomings.

As soon as he saw him, Daoist Tiantong suddenly thought of something happy and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Master, why are you laughing?” He Wushuang, who was behind him, asked softly.

Daoist Tiantong explained with a smile, “Disciple, you might not know this, but back then… this First Elder of the Immortal Mountain Holy Land had a dark past that no one knows about.”

“Oh? What dark past…” He Wushuang was interested and quickly asked.

Daoist Tiantong did not hide or control his voice. It was as if he was saying it on purpose for everyone to hear.

“Back then, when Tianji Zi entered the peak of the Cardinal realm, his confidence suddenly soared. He claimed to be invincible and was extremely arrogant. He claimed to be invincible in the world. And the first famous holy land that we’ve just chosen is the Heaven Mending Sect.

“The results are obvious…

“As soon as he went up the mountain, he was beaten up by Perfected Xuantian of the Heaven Mending Sect. He was like a headless fly, running around the mountain.”

“Pfft…”

“Haha…”

Everyone laughed unkindly as soon as these words were spoken.

“Why did he have to choose the most ruthless one amongst all the famous holy lands?”

“He can be said to be so good at bragging…”

Everyone was amused after they heard Daoist Tiantong’s story.

Tianji Zi’s expression was extremely ugly. This dark history had always been a shadow in his heart. It was still fresh in his mind today.

Initially, he wanted to show off in front of the juniors. He did not expect Daoist Tiantong to not give him any face and poked his sore spot the moment he arrived.

“Hmph…”

Tianji Zi flew into a rage out of humiliation. He flung his sleeves angrily and felt that he had lost all face. He turned around and entered the Land of Silence.
