“Through strict selection and test, I was enrolled as the disciple of the guardian elder of the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect. That’s to say, I’m going to be the next guardian elder of this Dongtian and could access to Dongtian for free. When the Great Wilderness Sect suffered the catastrophe, I was cultivating in the Dongtian, leaving merely one incarnation outside. Therefore, I survived that catastrophe!”
“What about the guardian elder of Great Wilderness Sect?”
“The guardian elder was also killed when he joined that party held by Great Wilderness Sect!”
“I was told that someone of Great Wilderness Sect poisoned the drinks in the party so that many people were trapped without any preparation. Is that real?” Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity.
“Yes, those people had long joined Great Wilderness Sect as disciples. The day when the Great Wilderness Sect suffered the catastrophe was the most festive opening day of the exchange meeting of Great Wilderness Sect. Almost all the elders and disciples joined it where they shared their animal controlling skills and their experience of incarnations as well as their discovery of mutated, fierce beasts in South Border. Those people stealthily put a colorless and tasteless rare poison in the food and drinks of elders and disciples of Great Wilderness Sect. Therefore, on the same evening, the poison suddenly broke out. Besides a minority, most of disciples and elders in the sect had lost their battle strength before being swept over!” Yun Zhongzi explained.
Zhang Tie realized that the late Great Wilderness Sect was a real team of romanticists. They even regularly held the meeting to exchange the experience of the cultivation of Great Wilderness Sultra. It was a bit similar to the modern salon or forum. Gathering at one place, elders and disciples forgot about their identities as they exchanged experiences with each other freely. Such a gathering was almost impossible for other sects. However, everyone took it for granted in Great Wilderness Sect. Such a sect might be suitable to live in a prosperous world where humans and demons could completely coexist with each other. However, in this age, humans and demons were fighting each other while the ambitious men and conspirators surged here and there in Taixia Country. How could such an environment be available to the Shangrila that Great Wilderness Sect opened in South Border?
“Did the former head or other elders of Great Wilderness Sec survive that catastrophe?”
“After finding that they were poisoned and suffering the incursion of foreign enemy, the former head and many elders of Great Wilderness Sect exerted their final efforts to kill some rebels. Some of the elders and disciples were killed while the reminders didn’t succumb it even death as they all detonated the fatal witched insects or All-spirits Towers inside their bodies. The other disciples were killed by the invaders and fought the enemy to death as they swore to exist and perish with their sect…” Yun Zhongzi said in a sad tone, “That day, the Taishi Mountain where the Great Wilderness Sect was located was filled with blood. After sensing their owners’ death, the marvelous beasts that the elders and the disciples of Great Wilderness Sect incarnated incessantly rushed towards Taishi Mountain so as to protect the corpses of our elders and disciples while counterattacking the invaders. Finally, they all perished with the sect as a whole.
At this moment, Yun Zhongzi looked up at the void in a distant look as if many scenes were flashing across his eyes. He then recalled what happened that night in an ethereal tone, “I had incarnated into a bird and was watching the Great Wilderness Sect being exterminated. I still remember that an elder was obsessed with controlling swallows for his whole life as the swallow king and always led the flock of swallows wandering in South Border. He looked for nests for swallows and cured them. That night, the elder exploded himself, causing over 1 million swifts flying out of the mountain caves outside Taishi Mountain and hit onto the Heavens Cliff where that elder committed suicide one after another like a dense cloud. After that, over 1 million dead swifts fell off the Heavens Cliff like rain and paved over the hillside. Previously, the rocks on the Heavens Cliff were grey. After that, the color of the rocks on the Heavenly Cliff turned red due to the blood of swifts.
“There’s another junior fellow disciple who tamed a wolf pack. That night, the junior fellow disciple fought the invaders to death. At that time, the entire wolf pack rushed into Taishi Mountain to avenge. The last alive wolves found the junior fellow disciple’s corpse and carried it before diving into the bottomless abyss from the Cloud Platform on Taishi Mountain in case it was further humiliated…”
As Yun Zhongzi recalled how the Great Wilderness Sect was exterminated, Zhang Tie really sensed the tragical situation facing Great Wilderness Sect that night. The pictures of the common death of humans, beasts and sect made Zhang Tie sigh.
The Great Wilderness Sect might be loose in management and idealized view of reality; undeniably, it enabled the disciples of Great Wilderness Sect to be highly loyal to the sect. At the crucial moment, besides very few moles arranged by foreign forces, almost no disciples would like to betray the sect. As for the disciples who survived the catastrophe, such as Cloud Crane who escaped to Waii Subcontinent and still thought about restoring Great Wilderness Sect and Yun Zhongzi who didn’t know how many years had he stayed in the towers of time of this Dongtian. Not until he promoted to a sage-level knight did he set this trap and allure the enemies for revenge with the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect…
Watching Yun Zhongzi’s young yet experienced face, Zhang Tie let out a sigh, saying, “According to you, after the catastrophe, you’ve been cultivating in this Dongtian. I wonder how many years have you stayed in the towers of time since you promoted to the sage-level knight?”
“I stayed over 400 years in all the towers of time of this Dongtian before promoting to a sage-level knight. After that, I spent 100 years more on consolidating the cultivation base of the sage-level knight. I feel I’m going to touch the next realm. In addition, I’ve met a bottleneck in cultivation base and couldn’t move further within the towers of time. Therefore, I decided to exit the Dongtian and set this trap for revenge…” Yun Zhongzi said.
Previously, Zhang Tie thought that he had stayed too long in towers of time. However, compared to Yun Zhongzi, he finally understood that someone was always sharper. What relentless spirit and perseverance was needed for one person to constantly sharpen himself in towers of time while bearing the loneliness for a long time!
Watching Yun Zhongzi in front of him, Zhang Tie knew that Great Wilderness Sect might be destined to not exterminate due to its remaining facility. After the catastrophe, the God spared a bit vigor to Great Wilderness Sect. The obscure God’s will was really unexpectable and formidable.
The realm above sage-level knight mentioned by Yun Zhongzi made Zhang Tie’s heart pound once…
