Translator: Noodletown Translations  Editor: Noodletown Translations

Clouds flew in all directions in Liuyun Daoist Palace.

Beautiful flowers bloomed all year round in the Tianji Palace. Many pavilions and buildings dotted this place, looking like a chessboard with pieces on it. In the sky, spiritual patterns and arrays circulated like stars. Light dots hovered and danced like flying fireflies.

A pair of eyes that were as clear as water opened while the spiritual essence stopped circulating in her body.

After walking out of the palace, she saw a long pavilion winding through the rich spiritual essence and blooming flowers among which colorful butterflies danced. It seemed like this was a paradise in the mortal world.

“Master! Master!” Her two disciples flew over cheerfully like butterflies. “How come you’re late today? What have you been cultivating lately?”

“Nothing special…” Su Tianji shook her head and said, “Lately, I’ve been understanding the Dao lecture given by the immortal living in the Cave of Slanting Moon and Three Stars in the Mountain of Mind and Heart. Whenever I found enjoyment from it, I’d forget the passage of time.”

“That immortal’s lecture is very profound and mysterious… I think its super difficult…” Disciple Yuexin frowned slightly and mumbled, “Master, don’t you find it too profound and mysterious…?”

“No…” Su Tianji said.

“Huh…?!” The two disciples exchanged a look. Does our master have extraordinary talents?! Is she far more talented than average people?!

“Are you more powerful than Senior Nalan and know how to do the Cloud Somersault?” Disciple Fenghua looked at their master in pleasant surprise and asked.

They all say our master is getting idle and becoming more noob, but it seems that those rumors are just slander! Look, she can even understand the mysterious Dao lecture given by that powerful immortal living in the Cave of Slanting Moon and Three Stars!

“No.”

“72 transformations?” Yuexin asked immediately.

“No…”

“Have you obtained the way of immortality?!”

“No-!”

“Um… there are so many spells taught in the Cave of Slanting Moon and Three Stars. Why should we learn those…? Look, the Palm Thunder is relatively simple…” Before her two disciples, Su Tianji condensed thunderbolts in her palm and then pushed it out before withdrawing it with proficiency.

She stood straighter with great confidence. “It’s super easy!”

“…”

…

Standing alone in the world and waiting to ascend to become an immortal. This sentence could be used to describe Dugu Yi and the other ancestral who had been away from the world for a long time. They were lonely and desolate.

Different from Xiaoyao Ancestral Master, they lost all of their previous forces, let alone their descendants.

Most people gave them respect, but they also kept a distance from them in fear. The three of them usually gathered at Cloud Ethereal Peak to talk about Dao, so they were also called the Three Friends of Cloud Peak.

Li Wuchen, Dugu Yi, Shang Jiuwen… The glories that these names represented had been buried in the passage of time. Regardless if they had been good or evil, no one in this world cared to find out. After all, even their enemies and their enemies’ forces and descendants had all been devoured by the long river of time.

Their era had long passed…

The current era didn’t need them.

Luckily, in the place called the internet, no one would care if they were ancestral masters or not. With the goal of becoming god-like figures, they had something to occupy their time.

“I realize…” The immortal-like Daoist dressed in a white Daoist robe and holding a whisk said, “The things that we spent all our lives pursuing… don’t seem important anymore. Perhaps we are getting old… and thus no longer care about certain things?”

“When you are old, you pretend to be profound and mysterious!” Beside him, Shang Jiuwen said with a snicker, “If you don’t care about things, then don’t fight for mid lane with me!”

“Huh-!?” Dugu Yi said, “Let’s continue the talk about Dao! Let’s continue!”

“Watching the battle with Qi Tiandi at the Firm Stealth Godly Palace… and listening to the lecture on Dao given by the old Immortal Subodhi at the Mountain of Mind and Heart, I gained more benefits than cultivating for hundreds of years…”

“When we talk with others in the future, we can boast and say that we watched a battle of gods and listening to a lecture on Dao given by an immortal, right?”

“It’s a pity that everyone in the world has watched it and listened to it. They are not things belonging to us alone.”

…

“Master!” Fenghua yelled, “It seems like… something big is happening! Should we…”

“Go and help them!”

…

– In the new shop at the East Continent –

Several earth spiritual generals came down and led the remaining immortal soldiers and generals. Some had huge heaven-hacking axes, and some held the power of wind, thunder, and other heavenly powers.

Hundreds of thousands of immortal soldiers covered the whole world!

Even the prehistoric true demons would be scared by such a great army, let alone a group of weak mortals.

How could mortals have the strength to fight the Heaven?

“Mere mortals, surrender to us! Why are you still struggling?!” The huge ax hacked down with sky-shattering force. As soon as these mortals dodged it, a godly light shot down like a long rainbow! Then, with a boom, a tribulation lightning bolt that could kill real immortals crashed down!

The two sides of the battle were not on the same level. Heavenly Faction Master Feng Xuehe was surrounded by several immortal elites, not to mention others…

In the blink of an eye, their faces turned pale, and their steps stumbled.

Soon, the cultivators and warriors were forced to retreat continuously in defeat.

If the immortals didn’t want to capture them alive, most of them would have died already.

“Die or surrender!” As the immortal lights of the spiritual treasures devoured them like ocean waves, one immortal general yelled furiously.

But at this moment…

“Don’t be scared!”

Heavenly Faction Master Feng Xuehe yelled, “The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal is battling alongside us shoulder to shoulder!

“If the immortals and gods are kind, we respect them. If they are cruel, we must fight them!”

With a mystical iron sword in his hand and covered in blood, the black-robed Elder Dugu Xiao glared at the enemies who were tightly surrounding him. “Even if we die, we have 100,000 heroic souls with us!”

“Haya-!” His roar resonated all over the region as he fought his way into the enemies without a care for his life!

“Our heroic souls will live forever-!” Covered in blood, the members of the Heavenly Faction charged toward their enemies!

“Master-!” Wars were cruel. In the blood-covered battleground, a yell of alarm rose.

The whole battleground was in chaos.

Su Tianji looked back and saw that Fenghua and Yuexin’s spiritual shields had broken, and Fenghua even had a bone-deep wound in her belly.

Then, a horrifying immortal thunderbolt crashed down from the sky!

She looked up and saw an immortal general looking down from the sky as if he was looking at the ants on the ground.

The light from the thunderbolts turned the two girls’ faces white.

Nothing in the world was constant; Heavenly Dao is merciless.

This morning, they had frolicked happily and talked about the recent TV Series and game guides. But perhaps they would never return to the place full of blooming flowers and starry lights.

They smiled bitterly.

No one expected this to be their last moment in the world.

At this moment, Su Tianji’s mind turned blank.

She wondered what spells in her knowledge was powerful enough to block these unimaginably powerful immortals?!

She couldn’t think of one and didn’t have time to ponder.

Almost subconsciously, she condensed spiritual energy and summoned a thunderbolt in her palm!

The Palm Thunder created a small ball of thunder, and it looked pale and weak.

Glancing at the immortal thunderbolt that was as thick as a bucket, the immortal in the sky had a contemptuous and mocking look in his face.

This… was destiny!

However, no one knew that the statement which Dugu Yi and the other two ancestral mentioned on the Cloud Peak Mountain, ‘we watched a battle of gods and listened to a lecture on Dao given by an immortal’ wasn’t accurate.

It should’ve been ‘we watched a battle of the gods of war and listened to the lecture on Dao given in a sages’ faction!’

Yes, a sage’s faction.

This was Palm Thunder, the most orthodox, the most basic, and the most mysterious immortal spell used by average immortals, Tongtian, and Patriarch Hongjun in most of the oriental legends before Fang Qi traveled through space!

[TL Note: Both Tongtian and Patriarch Hongjun are mythological figures in ancient China.]

At this moment, the Palm Thunder collided with the spiritual thunderbolt that the immortal cast.

After the thunder, it seemed like the Heaven and Earth had turned silent.

Then, to everyone’s horror, they saw the immortal thunderbolt with unrivalled force beginning to shatter and… collapse!
