Chapter 102: Qiu Baihui’s Breakthrough
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Someone shouted from the Feng Family’s Forbidden Ground. “Who is that?”
The voice contained a hint of anger.
A second later, the voice spoke again, but this time, it was trembling with fear. “Oh no! It’s a master of the Virtual Realm. Quickly call the Xue Family’s Elder over.”
“You’re just a family of advanced Perfected Persons. How dare you prey on my granddaughter?”
Bang!
There was a loud sound.
Suddenly, everything in Snow City started to shake.
Smoke and dust rose from the Feng Family’s house.
Several people in Snow City looked toward the direction of the Feng Family’ house.
The Feng Family’s auras were all annihilated.
Utterly destroyed!
All the masters in the city were stunned.
Meanwhile, in the Xue Family…
Watching the Feng Family’s house collapse, the Xue Family’s elders desire to support them was extinguished.
In the Forbidden Ground, the Xue Family’s ancestor started trembling.
“It must be a Virtual Realm master. Why would a Virtual Realm master come to Snow City? Who on earth did the Feng Family provoked?”
The Qianyuan Sacred Ground was located in the center of Zhongzhou.
It has the most abundant resources in Zhongzhou, with hundreds of thousands of disciples and masters.
Unlike the other Sacred Grounds, the n.o.ble families in the Qianyuan Sacred Ground did not hold much power.
Those gatekeepers were the ones who managed the Sacred Ground.
All the Sacred Ground disciples were treated equally.
Everyone received training resources according to their cultivation level.
Because of this, the Qianyuan Sacred Ground had always been rather prosperous and occupied a large area in the central and northern parts of Zhongzhou.
There were eight legendary masters of the Virtual Realm in their Sacred Ground alone.
On that day, an aura in the Qianyuan Sacred Ground soared to the sky.
Elders around the Sacred Ground looked confusedly at one other.
“Did someone get promoted to the Virtual Realm?”
“Why have I never seen this aura before?”
But many of the elders had the same suspicious.
It might be that half-step Virtual Realm master.
Having worked with one other for many years, they all knew each other’s auras very well.
“Could it be a disciple?”
“But we’ve seen all these talented disciples before. Even though there aren’t many advanced Perfected Persons disciples, we have an idea of some them.”
…
Deep in the Forbidden Ground, there was a cavern.
Hundreds of kilometers deep in the cavern, the old man with long eyebrows was sitting on the huge golden lotus. He slowly opened his eyes.
“Sigh! The Qiu Family finally has someone who can be useful. What a pity that she is a woman!”
The two Virtual Realm masters of the Qiu family had fallen.
His first line of defense in the South Continent was now ineffective.
Out of the twenty-four golden lotus petals, three of them had been extinguished.
Five other petals were starting to turn gray.
In the past two years, the cultivation channels in the South Continent had decreased.
This meant that the number of geniuses in the South Continent were increasing.
If he didn’t get enough qi, it would be impossible for him to break through. If it continued on like this, he would not be able to extend his lifespan anymore.
“It’s all because of the d.a.m.ned Virtual Realm master of the South Continent! Hmph! Just you wait!” The old man with long eyebrows snorted.
The aura in the sky gradually faded.
A while later, someone appeared in front of the golden lotus petals.
She had long hair and a delicate figure.
After glancing around the cavern, she finally knelt down before the skinny old man.
“Ancestor, thank you for the grace of reconstruction! I want to reclaim the Sacred Ground. Ancestor, please help me.”
This woman was none other than Qiu Baihui.
After visiting the Huanhai Sacred Ground, she had spent some time finding out who was the master that Elder Qishan said was backing the Qiu family.
So, she had come to the Qianyuan Sacred Ground.
Once a master broke through to the Virtual Realm, their lifespan would increase to 5,000 years.
Even though she was over 500 years old, she was still considered to be very young.
As such, her appearance had been restored to that of her younger self.
“You want to reclaim the Sacred Ground in this state? Are you stronger than Qiu Honghai?”
“With your help, I believe we can do it,” Qiu Baihui kowtowed respectfully.
“Why are you always relying on me? I was just saying how the Qiu Family was promising. Now, another brainless person has come to find me.” The old man with long eyebrows raised his eyebrows as the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.
He didn’t expect that Qiu Baihui would make such a request after breaking through to the Virtual Realm.
Shouldn’t she be asking him what his orders were?
They ignored his painstaking plans just for their own selfish interests.
The Qiu family didn’t know how to be grateful!
“Ancestor, if you don’t want to make a move personally, you can send two Virtual Realm masters from the Qianyuan Sacred Ground…”
“Shut up!” The old man with long eyebrows said furiously.
“Ancestor!”
“If you call me your ancestor, then listen to me and just practice harder. With the power I gave you, in addition to the Sacred Ground’s resources, you will break through soon. Then, we can talk about revenge!”
The old man with long eyebrows suppressed the anger in his heart.
If it wasn’t for how useful Qiu Baihui was, he would have slapped her to death already.
There were indeed more than a dozen Virtual Realm masters in the Sacred Ground.
It had taken him many years to cultivate each of the Virtual Realm master.
Why would he use these Virtual Realm masters to avenge the Qiu Family?
They weren’t even sure about the opponent’s abilities.
If he lost any of them, his plans would have to be postponed.
“Okay.”
Qiu Baihui bowed her head and left.
Once she was out of the cave, there was a resentful expression on her face.
The ancestor didn’t want to help her?
What did he think she was?
His plaything?
She had already broken through like he asked her to.
Why would he want her to break through again?
She felt so hateful!
One day, she would destroy the Qianyuan Sacred Ground.
She left the Forbidden Ground and returned to her own cavern.
Qiu Baihui grew angrier and angrier.
“No! I must go back to the Sacred Ground to take a look! If the ancestor of the Xia Family isn’t there, I might as well take the opportunity to kill some members of the Xia Family as revenge!”
In the cave, the old man with long eyebrows took in a deep breath.
The golden qi entered his body through his nose and mouth.
The golden aura surrounding the petals of the golden lotus seemed to have dimmed.
“Sigh! The Qiu Family has good qualifications. It’s a pity. I need two Virtual Realm masters for the next stage of my plan… To carry out my plan, I can’t have the Qiu Family around.”
“Ancestor!”
Just then, a figure appeared outside the cave.
The old man with long eyebrows frowned. “Come in!”
“Ancestor, who was the one who broke through just now?”
“Don’t even ask!”
“Okay!” The visitor bowed his head and didn’t say anything.
He knew that there were many hidden Virtual Realm masters in the Sacred Ground.
He didn’t know why they were still hiding.
Didn’t they have enemies in Zhongzhou?
Why not release them?
“Ancestor, there is news from the Qingmu Sacred Ground. The Feng Family in Snow City was smashed by someone who is suspected to be a Virtual Realm master. The Virtual Realm masters in the Qingmu Sacred Ground haven’t taken action yet.”
“Another Virtual Realm master has appeared?” The long-browed old man frowned. “Is there any other news?”
“This person is also nurturing quite a few geniuses! The Feng Family wanted to take advantage of these geniuses, but ended up being destroyed by them. This might be a master from outside the Sacred Ground.”
“Outside the Sacred Ground? Without sufficient resources, no genius can become a Virtual Realm master. That old man must have become lonely and brought his grandchildren out to practice,” the old man with long eyebrows said after thinking for a while.
“Then what about our plan?”
“We will go on with it! How can we get more resources if we don’t unify the entire Zhongzhou? How can we conquer the North Continent without taking down the East Continent?”
Only with enough cultivation channels could he live a long life and continue to breakthrough.
Half a month later, a figure appeared above the Xia Mu Sacred Ground.
Staring at the people in the Sacred Ground below, Qiu Baihui gritted her teeth.
This was her home, where she had grown up.
Now, her home was occupied by outsiders and her relatives had all been killed.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became!
Immediately, she reached out her hand to attack the Xia Family.
The air around the Xia Family’s house started to swirl.
Prenatal qi gathered as she attacked the Xia Mu Sacred Ground with the palm technique.
And the wind technique!
After reaching the Virtual Realm, she perceived the world differently.
Buzz!
The s.p.a.ce formation above the Xia Mu Sacred Ground suddenly lit up.
Click!
Then, it broke apart.
