Chapter 2919: The Point Cloud Venerable’s Taboo
The incident with the Pill King clan lead to a huge uproar on planet Tianming. All of the Grand Prime ancestors as well as many Chaotic Primes, even Infinite Primes, on planet Tianming rushed to the Pill King clan.s
However, when they saw the state of the Pill King clan, everyone’s faces became extremely ugly, including the Grand Prime ancestors. At the same time, they felt a chill from the bottom of their heart. Everyone got cold feet.
The Pill King clan, a powerful clan that possessed similar strength to them, also standing at the apex of planet Tianming, even able to stir up the entire planet to a certain degree, had actually been destroyed in the blink of an eye?
The speed at which it had been destroyed left all the Grand Prime ancestors and even the lord of planet Tianming extremely shocked.
At this moment, the lord of planet Tianming’s expression changed. His sleeves immediately began to dance around and great energy radiated outwards. He pulled a bloody figure out from the ruins of the Pill King clan.
“This is… a great elder of the Pill King clan, Shen Wanqian?”
Immediately, someone recognised the person based on his feeble presence and cried out.
Shen Wanqian was the strongest great elder of the Pill King clan, an Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime.
Now, he was the only survivor they had discovered from the Pill King clan.
“The Alchemy Tower… the Alchemy Tower… the Alchemy Tower was suddenly detonated. Our Pill King clan… our Pill King clan is done for…”
Shen Wanqian was immediately awakened. When he saw the state of the Pill King clan, he was immediately filled with great grief and sorrow.
“The Alchemy Tower was detonated?” Everyone present looked at one another with that.
The news about the Pill King clan’s destruction reached beyond planet Tianming very quickly, gradually spreading through a few major planes and planets nearby. The destruction of a peak clan was anything but insignificant, let alone the fact that the clan that had been destroyed was the Pill King clan.
The Pill King clan was not strong. Among peak clans, they ranked at the very bottom. However, as an alchemy clan, they were involved in various deals and lines of trade with the outside world. There were even many peak clans that requested the Pill King clan to refine pills for them, even storing large portions of precious resources in the Pill King clan.
Now that the Pill King clan had been destroyed, all of the resources had been destroyed with it. That was obviously a blow to the profits of many great organisations.
And, among these peak organisations that suffered losses, some chose to turn a blind eye to this, but there were also organisations who took pride in their strength that immediately sent people to planet Tianming to investigate.
As a matter of fact, some peak experts who owed the Azure Ink Grandmaster a favour for the pills he had refined for them personally rushed over to planet Tianming, standing up for the Pill King clan and the fate they had suffered.
For a moment, the destruction of the Pill King clan kicked off a great stir on planet Tianming. Many peak organisations from beyond planet Tianming arrived.
“Even people from the Star Brilliance Plane are here. That’s a place personally watched over by the Nine Brilliance Star Lord, littered with experts. Even a peak organisation not ranked within the top ten can sweep through our planet Tianming…”
“That’s actually the Point Cloud Venerable of the Five Point sect. Great elders, please come with me immediately to greet the Point Cloud Venerable…”
......
…
The Point Cloud Venerable of the Five Point sect had personally visited planet Tianming. The planet lord and all the ancestors of the local peak organisations all went up and greeted him. They spoke extremely politely.
However, the Point Cloud Venerable’s expression was not great. He arrived above the Pill King clan and stared at the location of the clan that had already been reduced to flat land, without a single blade of grass remaining. His gaze was rather sunken.
“A decade ago, I handed over the many heavenly resources I spent several tens of thousand years gathering to the Azure Ink Grandmaster, so he could refine a few cauldrons of God Tier pills for me. I didn’t think that before my pills were even refined, the Pill King clan would end up suffering a fate like this,” the Point Cloud Venerable said sternly. As soon as he recalled his losses, he was filled with utter pain.
Although he was revered as an expert who watched over an entire region, he only cultivated the Laws of Time and the Laws of Space. He did not have a single inkling about the Way of Alchemy, so he needed someone else to refine all the pills he required.
“The Alchemy Tower didn’t blow up for no reason. I’d like to see just what happened in the Pill King clan.” With that, the Point Cloud Venerable’s figure immediately began to fade, as if he no longer belonged to this period of time and region of space anymore.
The combination of his Laws of Time and Laws of Space allowed him to unleash wondrous effects that others could not understand. A river of time seemed to appear beneath the Point Cloud Venerable.
At this moment, he was travelling against the flow of time, as if he was twisting the universe, pulling the cosmos and making his way into the past.
But very soon, the river of time beneath the Point Cloud Venerable shattered loudly. He shook violently and immediately grunted. As if he had been heavily injured, his face immediately paled.
“I- it’s actually…” The Point Cloud Venerable was filled with surprise, struggling to maintain his composure.
“Point Cloud Venerable, please tell us just how the Pill King clan was destroyed,” A great elder from another major plane clasped his fist and asked in complete respect.
The Point Cloud Venerable seemed rather dazed. He waved his hand and he stared off into the deepest parts of outer space, as if he had just touched on something deeply taboo, “I cannot say, I cannot say. So be it. I’ll just give up on these heavenly resources. I’ll just collect them again at most. It’ll just be a matter of time. With how long I’ve lived, the last thing I lack is time.” With that, the Point Cloud Venerable’s figure vanished.
The Point Cloud Venerable sped through the sea of stars on his way back to the Star Brilliance Plane. However, he was filled with deep worry and confusion. He thought to himself, “That’s strange. How did the Pill King clan provoke the Wind Venerable such that the Wind Venerable took action personally? As a supreme figure, the Wind Venerable would never lay his hands on someone like the Azure Ink Grandmaster who only knows how to refine pills unless there’s some great grievance…”
When he peered through the river of time earlier, the Point Cloud Venerable only detected the strand of power that the Wind Venerable had unleashed from an extremely distant place. Because the Wind Venerable did not try to hide anything, basically any expert whose cultivation had reached a certain level could sense it.
As for the Heartless Child of the Myriad Bone Guild, the Point Cloud Venerable failed to sense any trace at all.
“Heartless, has the plan progressed smoothly? Has anything beyond our expectations happened?” An obscure voice rang out within a huge bone tower that hovered in the endless sea of stars in an unknown region of space in the Saints’ World. It was filled with a sense of urgency, as well as hints of nervousness and worry.
The Heartless Child’s figure appeared on the highest floor of the bone tower. He smiled with great ease and delight, “Jian Chen’s already gone through and the Azure Ink Grandmaster’s already been killed by the Wind Venerable. Everything is under our control. Now, all we have to do is wait in peace. Once the Anatta Grand Exalt returns and discovers his fruit of ways has been destroyed by the Wind Venerable, you can already guess that the Wind Venerable’s dead for sure.”
“Hahaha, the Anatta Grand Exalt is not the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound from the Immortals’ World. Moreover, this is the Saints’ World. The Wind Venerable might have been able to escape from the hands of the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound, but that doesn’t mean he can escape from the Anatta Grand Exalt.”
The obscure voice remained silent for a while, before continuing, “The plan’s been progressing smoothly, but this touches on extremely important matters, so we can’t be careless. I think we should verify this in person.”
From his voice, it was possible to tell this person was also extremely hesitant, as if he was fearful about something.
The Heartless Child shook his head, “We mustn’t. Once we approach there, who knows whether any uncontrollable factors will arise? It’ll be easy for us to make a clumsy mistake instead. Everything has been going smoothly with the plan right now, so we must never turn this good news into bad news.”
