Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 443B

This was extremely horrifying!

Although her true strength was still a distance away from reaching the highest peaks in this world, if this other party was able to injure her and not leave behind any aura, this proved that their strength had reached the highest level.

However, the one that attacked should only be an avatar. Otherwise, this body that her divine sense entered should have already been turned to powder. It would have been impossible to resist.

But who could it be that dared to take the risk of attacking her? In this world, those with such deep cultivations were like great suns hanging in the skies. Each one stood at the highest peak of this world; they were the truly unsurpassed existences that belonged in the highest heavens.

They wouldn’t attack her easily. But if they did, they had to have their own reason for doing so.

The one that attacked her could at most destroy a wisp of her divine sense. This wasn’t a serious injury; she would only need a period of time to recover from it. So, the one attacking her shouldn’t be a mortal enemy of the Immortal Sect.

Then this other party’s goal…

A bolt of lightning cut through her mind. Xue Xiaoyu’s expression turned a bone-chilling cold. She had just returned from the Dao Arena and one of these unsurpassed existences had decided to attack her. Could this be a coincidence, or was there some connection between them?

Calamity Immortal mighty beings were those that had touched the Heavenly Dao and were just a step away from the Great Dao realm. Their aura blended together with the world and they mutually resonated, giving them an extremely strengthened divine insight.

This so-called divine insight was an indescribably mystical ability. It could allow one to expect enemies, to foresee dangers, and even vaguely ‘see’ fragments of future possibilities.

Purple Moon’s heart chilled. This was because her divine insight told her that it was the latter! The one who attacked her today wanted to destroy her divine sense or severely wound her at the worst so that she had no choice but to withdraw from Four Seasons City…if she didn’t leave, the second attack would surely scatter her divine sense!

So, this other party wanted to force her to leave Four Seasons City!

This action was clearly in order to shelter Qin Yu. But, this was just a boy who came from some barren land of exiles. Just what sort of fate did he have to ascend the ranks of the Ancient Perishment Decree, even having one of the world’s strongest powerhouses brave the danger of enraging the Immortal Sect to help him?

It was clear that this other party only attacked her because they were motivated by their own desires.

Ning Ling!

What this other party was motivated by could only be Ning Ling! This other party must have realized all of the cause and effect of what had happened and determined that as long as Qin Yu was still alive, there would be an irremovable crack buried deep between Ning Ling and the Immortal Sect. Once it erupted, it would be enough to thoroughly separate her from the Immortal Sect or cause even more terrifying consequences!

Yes, this had to be it!

The killing intent in Purple Moon’s heart grew. Before, when she favored Ning Ling, it could be called eight points of regard. Now, towards the Shen Yuanyin who cultivated the Sublime Lost Emotion Code, she held 12 points of regard.

Shen Yuanyin was destined to become the future ruler of Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace, wielding supreme authority with her power, being one of the three giants of the Immortal Sect and looking down upon the world with disdain.

Nine Heaven Mirrormoon Palace had already waited countless years for someone like Ning Ling to appear. She could not allow any accidents to occur, no matter how small the possibility was.

Xue Xiaoyu suddenly lifted her hand. With her finger as a brush, she outlined a circular image in the air. Motes of light fell around the branch division, like stars twinkling in the night sky.

Then, in the next moment, the thick layers of clouds in the skies above Four Seasons City were torn open once more to reveal a dazzling night sky. In this night sky, A dozen plus stars seemed to be shining with an immense luminescence.

Jin Rushan was shocked. But, he knew that with his own status, once Great Elder Purple Moon made a decision there was no longer anything he could do to interfere.

But there was one thing Jin Rushan knew for certain – something great was about to occur in Four Seasons City!

In the distant Immortal Sect.

Great Elder Purple Moon stood up. “Pass out my order. From this day forth, Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace will be sealed away. Before I return, no one can enter or leave.” As she spoke she lifted her hand towards the skies. In the vast sea of stars, a single star suddenly shined bright. Then, endless starlight gathered into a column that covered her.

Hum –

The column of starlight gently shivered. When it disappeared, Purple Moon’s figure had already vanished.

Following that, in the skies above Four Seasons City, the light from the shining stars began to gather, forming a beam that fell down and covered the circular image drawn by Xue Xiaoyu.

Then, from that starlight, a purple-robed figure stepped out. Her manner was dignified and her aura swept through the world – it was Great Elder Purple Moon.

On this night, the entirety of Four Seasons City was shaken!

Countless cultivators looked up with shock and awe on their faces. They stared towards the vault of heaven, towards that beam of starlight falling down, their eyes in a stunned daze.

This…this was…

Great Star Transmission!

By controlling the rules of the world and borrowing strength from the stars, one could completely disregard the hindrance of space and instantly cross endless distances!

This was a nearly god-like method. At the same time, only peak existences of this world could display such a technique. It was one of the great supernatural arts of Calamity Immortal realm mighty beings.

A Calamity Immortal realm existence had arrived at Four Seasons City!

This information was like an ancient divine mountain crashing into the sea. It immediately stirred up shocking waves that roared out in all directions.

When the Immortal Sect entered the city they hadn’t concealed their location. Soon, news returned to everyone that this beam of starlight fell within the courtyard of the Immortal Sect’s cultivators.

In other words, this almighty being came from the Immortal Sect!

Instantly, countless well-informed individuals suddenly recalled the incident that occurred at the Dao Arena’s banquet hall – Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace’s Great Elder Purple Moon had arrived with her divine sense, and for some unknown reason had wanted to kill the Ancient Perishment Decree’s ninth-ranked Qin Yu.

Could it be that the almighty being who arrived at Four Seasons City tonight was the Great Elder of Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace, one of the three unsurpassed existences that stood at the head of the Immortal Sect?

Countless cultivators were bewildered. They couldn’t imagine for what reason such an honored figure like Great Elder Purple Moon would hold such killing intent towards Qin Yu!

In the dark night, looking towards that distant courtyard, Hou Yuangou had a dignified expression. He discovered that the situation had grown beyond his control. An almighty being that ruled over their own domain wouldn’t step into the domain of another. Because this was highly likely to be seen as a form of provocation.

Moreover, with Purple Moon’s status, she could represent the unsurpassed existence that was the Immortal Sect. If she personally arrived, it meant there was some story behind all of this that he didn’t know of.

Suddenly, Hou Yuangou’s pupils violently shrank. Without hesitation, he stormed backwards.

His response was extremely fast and extremely decisive. But to the one who attacked, he was still far, far too slow.

The retreating Hou Yuangou froze in place. In the next moment he blew apart in midair. There was no flesh or blood or bone that rained down; he was like a human-shaped bubble.

A black point of light flew out, expanding into Hou Yuangou’s figure. “Purple Moon, you have gone insane!”

Within the courtyard, a purple-robed lady stepped out. She was beautifully dressed like a court lady and she appeared to be in her thirties. Her appearance was stunning and could even be called peerless. But at this time, no one paid attention to her beauty. Or, it was better to say that they didn’t even dare to look at her face.

A boundless aura as deep as the sea, as deep as the abyss, radiated throughout all of Four Seasons City. In this giant city where over ten million people lived, everyone shivered and trembled.

In the skies above, the thick clouds had already started to melt away at an astonishing speed, like snow in the hot sun. Bright moonlight and a faint shimmer of starlight covered her, making her seem even more aloof and haughty, like a god empress arriving in the mortal world, her dignity extending out to eternity.

“Hou Yuangou, you have disrespected me. It is already a show of mercy that I didn’t kill off your soul fragment to death.” Her tranquil voice was galvanized with her terrifying cultivation. It resounded throughout the entirety of Four Seasons City, even causing the thick city walls to tremble.

Hou Yuangou clenched his teeth. “Good! Very good! I will remember this matter. Great Elder Purple Moon, we will settle our debts in the future!”

Whoosh –

His body shrank into a mote of black light and howled away.

A cold chill flashed in Purple Moon’s eyes. “To those who threaten me – death!”

She lifted her hand and pointed. A miserable voice sounded out. Hou Yuangou’s soul fragment that was leaving Four Seasons City suddenly burst into pieces.

At this moment, countless cultivators revealed looks of fear.

Although Hou Yuangou wasn’t an almighty being, because of his avatar technique his strength could be called the strongest beneath an almighty being. It was rumored that he even shook the Calamity Immortal realm once.

Even within the Demonic Path, such a figure was highly regarded!

Purple Moon had chosen to kill Hou Yuangou’s soul fragment. This could be called the greatest conflict between the Immortal Sect and Demonic Path in the last 2000 years!

If this matter wasn’t properly handled, there was even a possibility that a great bitter war would erupt between the Immortal and Demonic sides once more.

At that time, war would sweep throughout the entirety of the Land of Divinity and Demons. There was no one that would be spared. Everyone would be dragged into the quagmire and forced to struggle to survive!

After extinguishing Hou Yuangou’s soul fragment with a finger, Purple Moon looked in the direction of the Dao Arena. She was silent for a moment before stepping forwards.

Hu –

Strong winds rose up in the world. Bolts of purple thunder arrived from nothingness, illuminating the countless panic-stricken faces on the ground.

At this moment, even though the moon hung high and clear in the skies without any clouds at all, it was blocked out by a net of interwoven purple thunder.

Each step she took was accompanied by roaring thunder, the rumbling resounding in all directions!
