Chapter 914: You, Just Who are You?!

As for the walls of these thatched cottages, they were all made with stalks of Tranquil Bamboo, lined up neatly into walls. Tranquil Bamboos were not very rare materials, and there was not much use for them. However, as long as such things were around, no bugs would come near.
And there was another, more important benefit—it was warm in winter and cool in summer; this was a natural air conditioner! Furthermore, it would emanate a deep and calming smell, complementing perfectly with the Xuan Spiritual Trees. These simple thatched cottages were simply paradises for cultivation!
Those Tranquil Bamboo were even more f*cking useful than insect repellent coils!
Young Master Jun was feeling quite jealous in his heart in this instant. Naked jealousy!
When he looked again at the vines coiling around the rooftop and the Xuan Spiritual Trees, Young Master Jun’s eyes instantly turned the same green color of a wolf’s eyes! Phoenix Tail Vine, Pilgrim Vine, Purple Luo Vine, Fleece Flower Vine… Eight Jewel Branch, Longevity Creeper…
Young Master Jun’s teeth ached from sucking in too much cold air… those were all rare heavenly treasures ah! F*ck, these guys are a little too frugal ah…
Although this daddy can be said to do quite well now, I still don’t dare to be this indulgent ah… These sons of b*tches from the Heaven Saint Palace came to such a desolate place to live, and they still have the face to act humble and poor, saying words like “frugality and humility are the tradition of our Heaven Saint Palace”. Frugal your sister! To think you had the face to even say those words; why don’t you just go and die instead…
Those words were too lacking in conscience!
“What do you think? Young Master Jun, our life in the mountains is simple and crude; please do not mind the lack of hospitality.” Qu Wu Hui said in a bland tone.
Jun Mo Xie coughed lightly and grabbed onto Qu Wu Hui’s hand with a teary eyed expression. “Senior Qu, Senior Qu, humility and frugality are great virtues of life; I-I… I also f*cking wish to learn from you all and live in a simple and thrifty manner so as to better appreciate the good things in life… Let me take a few of these thatched cottages away… I don’t need many, just five or six will do; give this junior a chance to emulate the frugal lifestyle of Seniors…”
“Scram! You’re dreaming brat!” Qu Wu Hui scolded without hesitation. This fellow was simply too greedy! To actually ask for five or six the moment he opened his mouth… What did he take them for? Even Mo Wu Dao from the Elusive World of Immortals had only got a few stalks so far despite begging laboriously for hundreds of years… he probably didn’t even have enough to build half a cottage until now…
“Qiao Ying… you’ve returned? Oh, and you brought an esteemed guest with you this time as well? Why not come in?” A warm and gentle voice rang out.
The three experts’ faces instantly grew stern as they answered, “Yes!”
Thereafter, they stretched their hands out to show the way. “Young Master Jun, please!”
“This Young Master shall not be polite then.” Jun Mo Xie smiled lightly and walked to the front. Looking at the numerous thatched cottages, he pointed and asked, “There’s a total of 136 cottages here; I wonder if… all of them are occupied?”
“Occupied? How is that possible.” Qu Wu Hui shook his head. “Nearly half are empty. For over 10,000 years, only people who managed to reach the realm of Saint Emperor have the qualifications to live here! Recently, quite a few people were killed in Tian Fa Forest, and one more had been killed by you this time as well! Right now, there’s less than 60 people left here…”
“60?! 60 experts at the level of Saint Emperor or higher…” Jun Mo Xie sucked in a breath of cold air and he asked. “What are the positions of the two Seniors in this place?”
“Our titles as left and right Guardians are nothing more than just a false name; our actual strengths… are roughly around the top 20. It’s not worth a mention!” Although Qu Wu Hui was saying ‘not worth a mention’, anyone could easily see the look of pride on his face.
“Impressive, impressive, you’re truly my idol.” Jun Mo Xie said with a look of admiration on his face. Truthfully, Qu Wu Hui was indeed the greatest idol of disgust for Jun Mo Xie. Whenever he thought of this old fellow’s tears and snot stained face and the manner of him wailing bitterly, it would be difficult for him not to feel disgusted!
As they spoke, the four of them had already arrived at the largest thatched cottage in the center. This thatched cottage occupied an area of five, six zhang, and the Xuan Spiritual Tree, Tranquil Bamboo and all kinds of wondrous spirit herbs were far more resplendent than the other cottages. With a single look, it was obvious that this was the heart of the Heaven Saint Palace.
“Come on in.” A soft voice rang out from within. As this voice rang out, the door swung open by itself… With Jun Mo Xie’s cultivation, he actually did not detect even the slightest Xuan Qi ripple…
The three persons had not even moved, when a surprised sound came out from inside. “Eh?!” That sound was extremely low, and there was unmistakable shock in that voice.
Cheng Yin Xiao, Qu Wu Hui and Qiao Ying’s face instantly changed!
That was the Palace Lord’s voice!
It’d been over a thousand years, and the Palace Lord had never been this shocked by anything before. But today, this Palace Lord had actually made such a surprised sound!
Could it be that it had something to do with Jun Mo Xie?
A short period of silence ensued, and shadows flashed around inside. By the time they walked in, the three saw that there were 10 chairs set in the cottage, of which three were empty. The rest were already occupied by people.
At their current level of elevation, Jun Mo Xie estimated that they should at least be seven, eight thousand meters above sea level. However, there weren’t any altitude conditions like lack of oxygen and such in here. The ice on the outside were frigid and thick, never melting since the ancient days. However, the inside of the cottage was actually as warm as summer!
The moment the four stepped into the room, eight pairs of eyes turned to look at them, focusing instantly on Jun Mo Xie as if there was a prior agreement.
The gazes were warm and tranquil, and it seemed as if searchlights had been turned on in his body. Jun Mo Xie felt as if he was completely naked and put on display for others to observe.
However, he was quite calm about the whole matter. In any case, all of us are men. Look if you want to; it’s fine, this brother is confident enough to let you look. As long as you don’t feel inferior after looking… Naturally, there’s nothing I can do if you looked and then felt bad about yourself; who asked you to not have such good DNA…
Qiao Ying and the others had already sat down soundlessly, and the three chairs were obviously left for them. Jun Mo Xie noticed that Qiao Ying was sitting at the very center of the left side, while Cheng Yin Xiao and Qu Wu Hui sat at the last two chairs on both sides, one on each chair.
No wonder they are called Guardians. So this is how it is… they are just minions who sit closest to the doors as guards ah… So their positions are not even as high as a naive little girl…
Young Master Jun criticised internally with disdain. What he didn’t know was that Qiao Ying’s position was actually very special within the Heaven Saint Palace. Her rank was only slightly below the Heaven Saint Palace Palace Lord. As for Cheng Yin Xiao and Qu Wu Hui, although their status among this bunch of high rank people was not high, but in the outside world, even the palace lords of the three Holy Lands needed to be extremely respectful towards them!
Everyone in this room were dressed in robes as white as snow. They were all obviously old monsters who’d lived for hundreds of years; however, not a single one of them looked like white haired old men. At a glance, they all seemed like healthy and fit people. Their heads were filled with black hair, and their skins were like jade. All of them looked like perfect middle aged men…
Jun Mo Xie narrowed his brows and harrumphed internally with disdain. Perfect middle aged men my head! Just a bunch of undying old farts; are they trying to play with the mind of this Young Master?!
Jun Mo Xie had not forgotten that this bunch of ‘middle aged men’ were basically all at least 800 to a thousand years old. They were a legitimate group of old demons…
Numerous sharp gazes swept across Jun Mo Xie’s body. However, nobody took the lead to speak. In that moment, the entire room was completely silent. Everyone’s faces were growing more and more serious…
“What do you think of this child?” The same gentle voice rang out. The voice came directly from the top, and it was directed at the rest.
Jun Mo Xie’s heart shook slightly with shock. A moment ago, although everyone’s gazes were fixed on him, he only felt 16 eyes on him. Furthermore, he hadn’t discovered anybody else.
When this voice rang out again, Young Master Jun realized on then that there was a person directly opposite him, smiling lightly at him. Although he’d already confirmed the presence of this person, there was an indistinct feeling to him.
This person was clearly right before his eyes, but Jun Mo Xie felt as if he was looking at an illusion, as if this was just an image projection of another person…
Jun Mo Xie had only felt this kind of feeling from the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master before! Without a doubt, this person’s realm had already reached the miraculous level of shattering the void! Perhaps, he was only a single step away from the so-called ‘transcending beyond the broken void’…
This person’s cultivation was likely not below the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master. Even if there’s a bit of difference in their strengths, it wouldn’t be a large difference, and it was at most only a little worse!
Knowing this, Jun Mo Xie could not help to feel the pores on his skin standing up! He hadn’t imagined that a super expert of that level actually existed on the side of the Holy Lands as well!
Since they had such an expert with them… why did they allow the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master to behave so arrogantly for this long? Perhaps they might not be a match for him one against one, but the two sides already had so much hatred between them; in a situation where their strengths were evenly matched, they just needed to add a bit more people, and it would be enough to claim his life. Even if the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master wanted to escape, the chances would be extremely slim!
Just as Jun Mo Xie was in the middle of his thoughts, the person seated at the first seat on the right side spoke in an elegant voice. “This child… is undoubtedly the most peerlessly rare talent that has ever been seen from the ancient days to now!”
The second person on the left sighed and nodded. “Indeed, if he continues developing like this, I trust that this child’s accomplishments would not be inferior to the Nine Nether First Young Master from that era, or perhaps even greater!
The moment they opened their mouths, the two of them had given Jun Mo Xie their greatest approvals!
The rest also nodded heavily in agreement with the words of the two of them. The fourth person on the right who had faint patches of birthmarks on his face agreed. “According to this old man’s repeated observations, this child’s hair had not been transformed by any kind of Xuan techniques, and the skin texture of his face is completely natural, not having any signs of having his age reversed. The baby hair behind his ears still haven’t faded as well… I can confirm that this child’s real age is definitely not past 20!”
Everyone nodded in approval once again.
The first person on the right looked at Jun Mo Xie’s eyes and examined it like a hawk; after some time, he finally nodded. “Apart from that, the most commendable thing is that… if any youths had such accomplishments at their age, no matter how steady their minds are, their temperaments would definitely be very different from normal youths! But that’s not the case for this child! Although he looks happy and has a look of complacency on his face when he heard us praising him, it’s in reality just a disguise!”
Snorting lightly, he continued. “Although there’s a hint of a smile, self satisfaction and arrogance in his eyes, that is only on the surface. The true thoughts in his eyes are hidden very deeply… This child’s steadiness and dignity is far above a regular Saint Emperor; even this old man’s mental state was not comparable to him when I was at his age!”
“Indeed! This child’s determination is extraordinary, and although his achievements are so stellar, he does not seem to be satisfied and is still full of ambition. While he has a light smile on his face, there’s a slight downward curvature at the corner of lips. This was an intentional formation, not the original innate appearance. This shows that this child’s temperament is very ruthless and cold, and he surely treats his enemies unscrupulously! Normal people would usually always have some pity in their hearts, with only a few being the exception. But this child actually has none of that at all! This is the heart of a powerful expert, ruthless and cruel to the extreme!” The second person on the right carefully observed, slowly giving his conclusion.
The third person sitting on the right side, his body straight like a javelin, nodded in agreement as he spoke. His voice was grating, like metals scraping against each other. “Exactly! Even now as he is standing here, letting us comment like this, the expression on the face remains the same; even the look in his eyes and his expression also has no fluctuations at all. His robes are still, and his eyes are as calm as a still lake; his hands and feet are not fidgety, and he looks to be completely at ease.”
“Or perhaps, one should say that he has absolute confidence in escaping alive! This part is much harder to understand. Although this child’s strength in relation to his age is completely unheard of and is extremely shocking among his peers, he’s not a match for any of us. Where does that absolute confidence of his come from? Against the 11 of us, even the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master would not have any chance of survival! But surprisingly, he actually has such absolute faith; such unshakeable faith that comes from the depths of his soul!”
“This child is terrifying! Truly terrifying!” After everyone gave their evaluation, another voice chimed in, concluding the whole analysis!
Jun Mo Xie stood there calmly, smiling lightly as if he did not mind at all. However, his heart was filled with indescribable shock! These people’s eyesights were truly incredible, to even be able to analyze the pores on his skin. As expected of the old demons of legends; their powers of observation were actually detailed to such a level!
It was a pity that although they’d managed to see through his confidence, they were unable to determine his true trump card, the source of his confidence! Perhaps apart from the Nine Nether First Young Master, nobody in this world would know what this trump card of his was!
“Everyone has forgotten a point; the most important point.” At this time, the white robed man who was sitting at the highest point finally spoke. His voice was calm and cordial, akin to the clear springs in the mountains, refreshing the hearts of whoever heard him. “The 11 of us were observing this child together just now, and perhaps everyone might not have noticed; whether intentionally or otherwise, we will have released our own unique inner auras. Even if it was just a tiny bit from each person, but the sum total of our 11 auras is something that if his position was swapped with any of you, even you might not be able to endure and will have to use your own auras to resist to prevent a fault from appearing in your mental state!”
“But he didn’t! Completely didn’t!” The person continued, his words causing the faces of the seven men to completely change!
Smiling lightly and lifting his head, the person looked at Jun Mo Xie for a swift moment. In the moment that their eyes met, Jun Mo Xie felt as if that pair of searing eyes had plunged deeply into his!
Jun Mo Xie could not help but to narrow his eyes, causing two rays of chilly light to surge out, meeting that pair of searing eyes!
This was the first time Young Master Jun had made an action of his own accord after entering this place!
That person’s eyes were like the boundless ocean, deep and immeasurable. As for Jun Mo Xie’s gaze, it was like the starry space, the infinite universe!
But no matter how deep and immeasurable the ocean was, or how mysterious and infinite the starry skies were, Jun Mo Xie’s gaze were like two startling swords, straight and unyielding, following its own path without hesitation, no matter how many obstacles it had to pass through!
Everyone present instantly felt a shocking wave of killing intent in the air!
Although this killing intent was not considered too strong in the eyes of the people present, it was sharp to the extreme! This kind of sharp killing intent had a crazy kind of conviction that was intent on slaughtering even Gods and Buddhas if they stood in its path!
The other 10 were left in complete shock!
This was a different kind of battle that exceeded the normal contention methods!
The battle of spiritual sense!
However… the ten of them could no longer remember when was the last time that anyone in this world dared to contend with the boss! Not to mention vying against the thing that the boss was the most skilled in: spiritual sense. Even in other skills and areas, no many people dared to say that they could compete with him!
In this world, only three people had the qualifications to compete with the boss!
One was naturally the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master; the other was the old ancestor of the Misty Illusory Manor, Luo Fu Yun. As for the third one, it was the mysterious and inscrutable leader of the strange races, Chuangshang Bei Dao.
However, those disgusting strange races were all conjoined creatures, and they had two times the spiritual sense of normal people; they were exceptions since it’s not considered as ‘true strength’.
Who would have thought that another person would appear; such a lawless and talented youth!
The three instantly had a look of pity on their faces: to think that such a superbly talented genius would now suffer a spirit injury after being lost in the boss’s ‘Blurred Starry Sky’, forever having his cultivation path halted! Such a result was simply too disappointing. However, the result was already determined…
There was only a short four, five zhang distance between the two.
In that moment, Jun Mo Xie’s only feeling was that he’d trespassed onto someone else’s domain!
It was as if that endless space was someone else’s territory, and he was an invader!
No matter what kind of spiritual sense, there were always a certain limit! Take for example the drawing of an ocean. Although one could draw the ocean into its exact likeness, but it was in reality, just a piece of canvas! The limit of the size of the canvas was exactly like how each individual had a limit to their bodies!
That was all.
Therefore, Jun Mo Xie completely did not care, and he only continued to barge on recklessly! Even if there’s nothing but the limitless sky in front, he would smash a hole through it!
Time passed by slowly, and it was nearing the amount of time for an incense stick to burn through.
The faces of the 10 people had already turned from pity to amazement!
They were simply struck dumb with amazement!
Could this youth be a monster? Under the spiritual sense attack of the boss, he could actually hold on and even counterattack, seemingly not being in a disadvantage! That was simply a completely inconceivable matter!
This battle result was truly unthinkable!
Jun Mo Xie’s spiritual sense pierced through a piece of sky, an entire ocean, and cut through millions of high level Xuan Beasts, before barging through a sea of flames…
All these were naturally mental constructs of the opponent. Thus, Jun Mo Xie did not care at all as he tore and wreaked havoc without pause! My goal is the other shore, and I will not stop halfway through!
Slowly, Jun Mo Xie’s face finally grew somewhat white. Sweat slowly formed on his brows, gathering into a large drop on his nose… finally, and silently… it dropped down!
The sweat dripped onto the ground, making a light splish sound!
Jun Mo Xie suddenly felt as if he’d come into contact against a solid wall-like surface. Just as he was mustering himself to barge through while disregarding everything, he felt the space in front suddenly turn empty, and his strength landed on nothing. It turned out that he’d already stepped out of the opponent’s spiritual sense domain!
Opening his eyes abruptly, he saw the middle aged man smiling faintly at him, as if nothing had happened. It was as if everything had been nothing but a dream!
In front of him at the tip of his foot, there was a clear drop of sweat.
“Who are you?” The middle aged man suddenly asked with a light smile.
Although his words mellow and he was still carrying a gentle smile as usual; even the tone of his words were completely unchanged, the people in the room had all known this person for around a thousand years. How could they not tell that there was something different in the way he asked those words? In that moment, a look of fear flashed across everyone’s eyes!
The hearts of the crowd shuddered!
Today was truly a special day, with surprises following one after the other!
“Me? I’m Jun Mo Xie!” Jun Mo Xie replied with a light smile.
“This old man naturally knows that you’re Jun Mo Xie. The moment you stepped onto Mount Heaven Saint, I already knew that. But what I’m asking…” The expression on the middle aged man’s face turned more serious as he uttered each word. “Is… just who are you exactly?!”
Clearly knowing that he was Jun Mo Xie, yet continuing to ask ‘who are you exactly’, might seem quite contradictory, but the other 10 people in the room all suddenly sat up straight as their expressions became much heavier!
“I’m not anyone.” Jun Mo Xie replied with a light smile. “I understand what you’re trying to ask… but I’m really just… Jun Mo Xie! Not anyone else!”
When he first said ‘I’m Jun Mo Xie’, five or six of the people below all furrowed their brows dramatically, somewhat disbelieving. They’d heard that the three Holy Lands had offended a particularly troublesome opponent called Jun Mo Xie. Only now did they understand just what kind of a weirdo this Jun Mo Xie was!
In that moment, they could not help but to curse the three Holy Lands in their hearts. Why did you all go and provoke this kind of perverse monster for no reason? Aren’t you just looking for trouble for yourself? He apparently still has a mysterious master behind him also. The disciple is already so overpowered, so how scary is the master!
But when they heard the words ‘I’m really just Jun Mo Xie, not anyone else’, the ten experts instantly widened their eyes, and the fourth person on the left blurted out, “Impossible!”
Although the others did not say anything, their eyes clearly conveyed the same meaning, which was also the word ‘Impossible’!
