"There are actually reincarnations of saints among the Holy Children of the Yuhua Sect? Truly unfathomable?"
Fang Han's gaze swept over to a small group not far from him. The leader of this small group was a middle-aged man with an amiable countenance and a refined, scholarly demeanor in his every movement. Seeing Fang Han looking towards him, he also looked back, smiled, and nodded, displaying ample politeness.
This was a tyrannical figure among the Holy Children of the Yuhua Sect.
"This person is called Sun Shihua, one of the most prestigious Holy Children in our Yuhua Sect. It is rumored that he is the reincarnation of an ancient Sage of Painting who entered the Dao through painting. However, he handles matters with quite a refined and scholarly demeanor, possessing an awe-inspiring grandness. He is not particular about trifles and is worth befriending to share the same boat after entering the Primordial Ruin."
Xu Bingqing said.
"Junior Brother Feng Yuan, would you care to come over for a gathering?"
Right at this moment, the leader of that small group, Sun Shihua, spoke loudly to Fang Han: "Entering the Primordial Ruin this time, the Heavenly Court will open some perilous regions that are extremely dangerous. Even Origin Immortals face the danger of perishing upon entering. Junior Brother Feng Yuan has obtained the inheritance of the Bone Saint, and your magic power is profound. How about we cooperate and share the same boat?"
"Let's go over."
Fang Han flicked his large sleeve, shrinking the ground into an inch, and directly arrived not far from this small group, sweeping a glance over its members.
This small group consisted of exactly five people. Aside from Sun Shihua, there were two men and two women, but each and every one of them was an absolute elite. Their divine light was abundant, their depths hidden, and within their bodies faintly emanated the aura of peerless-grade immortal artifacts. Just standing casually, they could give people a feeling of being dwarfed, making one afraid to look them in the eye.
"Junior Brother Feng Yuan, I greatly appreciate your methods of confronting the Dark Emperor's Mansion, the Heart Emperor's Hall, the Yan Family, and the Sun God Palace at the entrance of the Sacred Temple. Although this group of outsiders obtained the tacit approval of our Yuhua Sect's higher-ups, they all harbor wolfish ambitions, cultivating Holy Children to dig up the foundation of our Yuhua Sect. Teaching them a lesson is a must. Even if Junior Brother didn't act, I would have." As soon as they met, Sun Shihua highly praised Fang Han's actions.
From his tone, he was fiercely loyal to the Yuhua Sect, whole-heartedly considering the interests of the sect without regard for personal gains or losses.
"Senior Brother Sun joined the sect in his early years. He encountered a great tribulation that threatened his life and was saved by the Sect Master of our Yuhua Sect. From then on, he has whole-heartedly considered the interests of the sect, and is the person most likely to become the Supreme Headmaster in the future." Dao Xu Shengzi carefully gathered near Fang Han's ear to remind him.
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Fang Han did know that a large portion of the Holy Children in the Yuhua Sect were devoted to the sect. Including himself, he was now basically doing things for the Yuhua Sect and hadn't committed any acts of betrayal.
"Well said. I heard that in some previous Blood Purgatory Trials, our Yuhua Sect had quite a few Holy Children killed by the Tai Yi Sect, suffering heavy losses. I wonder if Senior Brother Sun Shihua could detail exactly which sects are the mortal enemies of our Yuhua Sect? Upon entering the Primordial Ruin this time, I will specifically target these sects and massacre them until rivers of blood flow, to take revenge for our Yuhua Sect!" Fang Han inquired.
"Good!"
Hearing Fang Han speak like this, Sun Shihua's eyes lit up, and he shouted a word of praise.
"The primary enemy of our Yuhua Sect is the Tai Yi Sect, and naturally also the Great Yi Religion, the End of the World Sect, and the Brahma Cloud Sect, these few supreme major sects. Of course, the Muye Family has also killed Holy Children of our Yuhua Sect before, but we cannot go directly massacre them for revenge because behind the Muye Family stands the War King Heavenly Monarch, Muye Huang."
Sun Shihua also did his utmost best, listing the enemy sects of the Yuhua Sect one by one, explaining clearly to Fang Han which sects could be massively massacred and which could not be offended.
"However, Junior Brother Feng Yuan, you must be a bit careful. There are some absolute top experts in the Tai Yi Sect who are the reincarnations of ancient Zenith Immortal Emperors. Although they haven't stimulated their strongest power, they are unfathomable. Junior Brother must definitely be careful if you encounter them, and do not force a confrontation. Although Junior Brother obtained the inheritance of the Bone Saint, the power contained in their bodies is much more tyrannical than the original body of the Bone Saint."
"This I know. Just now, I glanced at the auras in the air and saw that there are indeed existences of emperor reincarnations, deeply unfathomable. But these figures, if I could take advantage of the time when their power hasn't awakened and they are in a period of ignorance, and kill one to refine into my own body, then…"
A smile of mastering everything appeared on Fang Han's face.
"Junior Brother must absolutely not think this way." Sun Shihua was startled: "These figures are reincarnations of emperors, their methods are extraordinary, and they have hidden killing moves. Junior Brother absolutely must not take risks, otherwise disasters will follow one after another."
"It's nothing much, it's not like they are reincarnations of Heavenly Monarchs!" Fang Han said casually: "That Nan Gong Shangxin, known as the Saint of Emotion, has already cultivated to the peak of the Saint Immortal realm and is about to step into the realm of Emperors, yet he was still frightened back by me. I naturally have methods to deal with those reincarnations of saints and Zenith Immortal Emperors. Of course, it would be even better if Senior Brother Sun could cooperate with me. Wealth and honor are sought amidst danger. The value of killing these people is far greater than searching for treasures in the Primordial Ruin."
"Alright, since you have hidden cards, I, Sun Shihua, am not a cowardly person either. As long as you can let me find an opportunity, I will absolutely not be stingy with my methods." Sun Shihua said.
While Sun Shihua and Fang Han were conversing and numerous Holy Children of the Yuhua Sect were gathering in this street, on another street of the ancient city far away, the Holy Children of the Tai Yi Sect were also gathering.
On a high tower floor, several core figures among the Tai Yi Sect's Holy Children were in discussion, their gazes looking towards the street of the Yuhua Sect.
"I heard that some formidable figures have emerged in the Yuhua Sect this time? Genius-level Holy Children?"
A tall and thin man wearing a patchwork robe said.
"Correct, the Yuhua Sect recently newly promoted the successor of the Night Emperor, Xiang Yizhen, as well as the Bare-handed Heavenly Venerable Gu Changfeng, Yan Xigui, Xu Bingqing, oh right, and a person named Feng Yuan. These people are all geniuses, and also the targets of our extermination in this Blood Purgatory Trial. Every single Holy Child of the Yuhua Sect is extremely noble. If we usually went to wipe them out, it would definitely provoke a major sect war. Every Blood Purgatory Trial is the best opportunity."
"Among the few absolute top Holy Children in the Yuhua Sect, Sun Shihua, the reincarnation of the Sage of Painting, this person must be wiped out."
"This person has already come into his own. Even if we join forces to defeat him, we cannot obliterate him, but there might just be an opportunity this time."
"Your news is already outdated. That successor of the Night Emperor, even rumored to be the reincarnation of the Night Emperor, Xiang Yizhen, along with Gu Changfeng and Yan Xigui, will not come to participate in the Blood Purgatory Trial. You probably still don't know, these three offended Feng Yuan in the Sacred Temple of the Yuhua Sect, were all utterly defeated and sealed, and knelt at the entrance for a full three days and three nights."
From the window of this high tower, a person suddenly flew in. This person had a middle-aged appearance, a square face, upright and majestic, with a speck of jade-colored mark at the center of his brows. His skeletal frame was broad, his shoulders propping up the sky, and his large hands were soft and lustrous, carrying an intent of holding great authority.
"Senior Brother Zhao Fenghua!"
"Senior Brother Fenghua."
The experts among the several Holy Children immediately bowed, showing sufficient respect, and then, hearing this man's words, every one of them was greatly shocked: "Such a thing happened? What is the background of that Feng Yuan? To be so formidable and arrogant?"
"I heard he obtained the inheritance of the Bone Saint. In the tomb of the Ghost Martial Holy Monarch, he encountered the Bone Saint, one of the Seven Saints of the Demonic Path, who imparted all his cultivation and essence qi to him, causing him to instantly leap to become an absolute top expert."
This Senior Brother Zhao Fenghua said: "Therefore, what I discussed with the higher-ups of our Tai Yi Sect this time is that this person is a genius, and his maturity is still shallow, so it's best to wipe him out. We must take this opportunity to chop him to death. By eliminating a hidden danger. Of course, the main targets this time are to kill Sun Shihua, as well as the few existences in the Yuhua Sect who are reincarnations of ancient Saint Immortals and Zenith Immortals."
"Originally, that Xiang Yizhen was a target we had to kill, but since he got involved with the Dark Emperor's Mansion, it's not convenient to act against him. Moreover, he was actually defeated and punished to kneel, which goes to show he simply isn't the reincarnation of the Night Emperor; the reincarnation of the Night Emperor is someone else." A Holy Child of the Tai Yi Sect said: "Furthermore, being punished to kneel, losing all face and having no dignity, is a very heavy blow to one's cultivation. There is simply no possibility of progress in the future. These people are already ruined, we don't need to make a move to wipe them out."
"Good, when we enter the Primordial Ruin for the Blood Purgatory Trial this time, kill Feng Yuan first, then kill Sun Shihua! Make the Yuhua Sect lose all its elites and never recover."
The numerous Holy Children of the Tai Yi Sect said collectively.
"Look, the envoys of the Heavenly Court have descended!"
Rumble!
Right at this moment, almost all the Holy Children saw a great sun descending from the sky, its brightness spanning hundreds of billions of miles. Within that great sun, fully more than a dozen Saint Immortals appeared, their auras overturning heaven and earth. Around those Saint Immortals, there were also some Origin Immortal experts standing. This caused the majority of the Holy Children to lower their heads, almost kneeling down, not daring to face the gazes of these Saint Immortals.
A Saint Immortal possessed an absolutely powerful battle strength. The realm of Saint Immortal, transcending the mundane and entering sainthood, was fundamentally not something ordinary experts could resist. Among the Holy Children present, although there were some experts, and some were even reincarnations of Saint Immortals, it was impossible for them to have the battle strength of a Saint Immortal.
Reincarnation equated to starting over from scratch. One's power could not reach the peak of their previous life, at most just being stronger than ordinary people.
Just like how Fang Qingxue was the reincarnation of a Heavenly Monarch, her strength could not possibly rival a Heavenly Monarch. Otherwise, there would be no need to cultivate; in an era without the Creation Immortal King, she would directly be invincible.
"So many Saint Immortals!"
Fang Han looked up at the sky and was also startled.
"This is the strength of the Heavenly Court, and it is far more than just this. These Saint Immortals carry the will of the Heavenly Monarchs, coming to open the trial grounds of the Primordial Ruin." Sun Shihua said: "Pay attention, the moment the passage opens and we enter, we must group together, because as soon as we enter, the Blood Purgatory Trial begins. At that time, there will be continuous slaughter. Caring for nothing, everyone will be a beast."
"I know what's at stake."
Fang Han nodded. In every Blood Purgatory Trial held by the Heavenly Court, an unknown number of Holy Children would die. Those with low magic power and bad luck would all be eliminated, and the sects essentially could not say anything about those who died in the trial.
