Questioning Heaven, Desiring the Way

res just to understand what his mentor back then had shouted just before he perished.

Unfortunately, for the sake of staying alive, he had to give up everything and start over.

When he thought about that mysterious whirlpool that seemed to contain many incredible secrets as well as the appearance of that dim and unfathomable will, his expression became bitter.

If getting to the Immortal stage wasn’t enough, he was going to cultivate until he got even higher than that.
He didn’t think that the supposed will of heaven could be lumped together with the will of the historical flood.

“I’m just barely surviving.
Even though I don’t know if you’re purposely hiding in the shadows or if you’ve been pushed into a corner, you’re no longer the same as you used to be.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten a chance to escape,” thought Gu Suihan as an indescribable murderous look filled his eyes.

You Hantian suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the land below as though he had suddenly thought of something.
He patted the head of the zheng and turned to say to the disciples behind him, “We’re right above the capital city of Fenglin, so we’ll land there for a while to rest.”

“Fenglin.” Gu Suihan could not help but think of Nan Yuntian, as well as his daughter, Nan Xingyuan, who died at his hands.

He was now at Mid Foundation Establishment, but Nan Yuntian was someone who could fight a Beginner Origin Core cultivator like Disciplinarian Zhang back then.
In terms of cultivation level, trump cards and influence, Gu Suihan lost in every aspect.
But there was one thing that Gu Suihan was confident in – he could always just run for it.
Why should he fight Nan Yuntian head-on?

So, Gu Suihan only thought about this matter for a short while and quickly focused on whether he could benefit from the country of Fenglin instead.

After You Hantian made that announcement, the beast let out a long howl.
Its bright and ear-deafening roar could be heard within a few hundred miles, which caused many animals to flee instantly.
Several ordinary people within the capital city instantly looked into the sky in shock.
After they noticed that ferocious and murderous-looking beast that spanned at least 300 meters in length, their mouths fell open before they started screaming and running in a panic.

“You Hantian! What are you trying to do?” a firm and angry shout came from deep within the majestic and opulent palace just as the zheng flew above the capital city and frightened everyone who saw it.

The shout was so powerful that all the disciples at Foundation Establishment paled.
Their gazes were frantic and terrified.

“Quieten your hearts! Calm your spirits!” You Hantian’s steady and calm voice instantly snapped all of them out of their fears.

When they thought about how that angry shout had made them so afraid, they quickly started using their cultivation technique to do exactly what their sect leader had instructed them to.

“Old geezer! I heard that the cultivators in the Way of Martial Arts are sending some people to the inter-sect competition too,” said You Hantian in a loud voice as he flew off the zheng and landed in front of the palace gates.

“What plans are you hatching?” The person who shouted earlier had calmed down again.
He was very pleased with the effect his shout had on You Hantian’s disciples earlier.

“Nothing, really.
I just heard that you have a really huge flying ship that goes very fast and has plenty of space.
You don’t have that many people, and it’ll be such a waste of all that space.
Why don’t we all travel together?” You Hantian snickered, and his eyes suddenly lit up as he looked around him, as if he were curious as to where this rumoured flying ship was hidden.

“Humph! Dream on! This beast of yours was just asserting its authority over my territory! Why don’t you just take it all the way to the competition?” The voice from the palace suddenly grew louder and higher in pitch.
He was getting angry now.

You Hantian chuckled and said in a threatening voice, “I heard that the seventh prince is doing pretty well in the Youthful Clarity Sect.
I was wondering if I ought to put up a Blacklist Mission.”

“You’re asking for it!” His voice was like the roar of a dragon as it echoed through the skies and shook everything within a ten-mile radius.
Immediately after he spoke, a domineering figure suddenly emerged from the depths of the palace and appeared before You Hantian less than a second later.

“Am I? Either way, you’re definitely not someone who can kill me,” said You Hantian with a disdainful tone of voice and a smirk on his face.

The other party had a squarish face and a large nose.
He looked fairly advanced in age, but his eyes were bright and alert.
He wore a dark yellow robe and exuded an authoritative aura even when he wasn’t angry.

When he heard You Hantian’s veiled threat, he immediately flew into a rage.
But after pausing to think for a long time, he suddenly piped up, “Fine; we’ll go with what you say.
But it will cost each person 100 Spiritual Stones.”

“Sure.” You Hantian motioned to his disciples to get off the zheng and said to them, “100 Spiritual Stones each, pay for it yourselves.
If you don’t want to, then you can walk to the destination on your own.
If you do that, make sure you aren’t late; otherwise, you’ll be punished according to the sect’s disciplinary policy.”
