Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 314 - 313 Intelligence and Customs Clearance

Hearing Meng Ruocun’s words, Ying Hui was slightly startled, then abruptly turned to her, "What did you say? You agreed to go to Wanxian Island with the Immortal Ming Yue?"

He said solemnly, "Ruocun, didn’t we agree this time it’s just about going to heaven for further study, and you would then return to East Dao School to cultivate until the seventh realm before going to heaven?

You also promised Yun Chong and the headmaster to come back for this competition among the Four Great Taoist Schools, right?"

Meng Ruocun gave a helpless smile, looking at Ying Hui. "Teacher, I am very grateful for the cultivation East Dao School has provided me. But now, I am no longer suited to cultivate in the Dao School here; the conditions are too far behind compared to Central City."

"Moreover, I’m about to enter the fifth and sixth realms, where I need to condense the Taoist Fetus and Taoist Body. To be honest..."

Meng Ruocun smiled helplessly again, "The methods here in the Dao School for condensing the Taoist Fetus and Taoist Body are still inferior to those in heaven."

She looked at Ying Hui with full of apology, "Teacher, I don’t want to waste my talent. I want to cultivate the strongest method of Taoist Fetus condensation, I want to achieve the strongest Taoist Fetus, I want to go farther on the path of cultivation, and East Dao School can’t give me these."

Ying Hui sighed, "Ruocun, it’s not that we don’t let you go, but heaven is not as simple as you think."

"Teacher, I know the waters of heaven are deep. But it gathers the strongest people, the best teachers, the best resources," Meng Ruocun said earnestly. "It’s the dream destination for cultivators, and I must go there."

Faced with Meng Ruocun’s decision, Ying Hui had nothing to say. Moreover, since she had already promised the Immortal Ming Yue, he was even less able to stop her.

After all, the immortals under the line of Ming Yue have always been relatively supportive of the work of the Three Pure Dao Sect, serving as their backing in heaven.

For instance, when the Heavenly Demon attacked East Dao School last time, Jiaojiao contacted Immortal Ming Yue for help, but it was later obstructed by the True Immortal Greedy Wolf.

Seeing Ying Hui’s somewhat distressed expression, Meng Ruocun comforted, "Teacher, no matter where I am, I am still a human. Going to heaven to practice is also to obtain greater strength so that I can contribute more to humanity, my stance will not change, don’t worry."

Ying Hui shook his head, looking at Meng Ruocun’s eyes with some disappointment, "I was thinking that with you, Zheng Wentian, and Zhou Bai, this competition among the Four Schools would surely be won by our East Dao School. I didn’t expect you to drop out now."

Meng Ruocun said helplessly, "Actually, it was Immortal Ming Yue who asked me not to participate in this competition."

"Immortal Ming Yue asked you not to participate?" Ying Hui’s gaze sharpened, and some doubts arose in his mind, "Why would that be?"

...

Nanshan City, home of the Evil Sect.

In a field of volcanic lava.

A man’s figure suddenly sprang from the scorching lava, shaking his head to flick off the magma on his head, and slowly walked towards the shore.

Accompanied by large chunks of lava flowing down from his body, his robust physique was exposed to the air.

He was covered in various kinds of scars, including cuts, burn marks, and seemingly beast bite marks, looking like he had endured tortures akin to hell.

He looked at a person on the shore, opened his mouth and smiled, "What wind blew you here, Li Gui? Isn’t Central City fun?"

The man addressed as Li Gui by the robust man was a lean man, completely enveloped in black cloth.

Li Gui said, "Cang Ming, I came to inform you about the intelligence for this competition. Also, True Immortal Greedy Wolf sent me back to the Evil Sect to join you in participating in this Four Schools competition."

Cang Ming laughed, "Are you afraid I can’t win?"

Li Gui responded, "Don’t underestimate others, there are many talents in this generation. Especially the Buddhist disciple Kong Chan from Beihai City, he will be your greatest opponent."

Cang Ming bowed his head, drank a gulp of lava, and bursts of heat emanated from his body, with little sparks flickering in his mouth, "Exhilarating!"

"Buddha’s son Kong Chan, I exchanged blows with him during the last competition among the Four Great Daoist Schools, and he was indeed formidable," he said as he wiped the fiery, viscous molten substance from the corner of his mouth, adding nonchalantly, "Go on, I’m listening."

Li Gui: "Kong Chan has now entered the fifth realm, achieving the Tathagata Dharma Body. As for his cultivation, he primarily follows the Primordial Spirit power route. In the fifth realm, he chose the Mountain Mover image, and based on the items he exchanged at the Dao School, he might have cultivated it to the third or even the fourth star point.

His own strength, combined with the Tathagata Dharma Body, is likely to be the top in terms of power and Body Refinement in this edition of the competition among the Four Schools."

Cang Ming gave a slight smile: "The Tathagata Dharma Body, huh? I heard it’s the strongest Dharma Body and Taoist Body among the Four Great Taoist Schools. I’m looking forward to witnessing it this time."

Li Gui continued, "Your second major rival should be Jijian Pavilion’s Jian Hui."

"Jian Hui?" Cang Ming casually slapped the magma next to him and expressed his doubt, "Why have I never heard of him?"

"He has never participated in the competition among the Four Schools before, so he must be Jijian Pavilion’s secret weapon," Li Gui explained. "Based on our investigations and the cultivation materials and records he uses regularly, he should now be in the fourth realm of the sword route, having chosen the Heavenly Divine Light Sword."

"The Heavenly Divine Light Sword?" Cang Ming frowned again, "I’ve never heard of this divine chart either."

"That’s because it has been 50 years since anyone in the fourth realm has mastered the Heavenly Divine Light Sword chart," Li Gui stated. "Fifty years ago, a person who mastered it and tried to break through to 100% Dao Conversion to ascend in one step was named Jian Liufeng."

"Jian Liufeng?" Cang Ming’s eyes lit up, "The same Jian Liufeng who tried to ascend to Immortality fifty years ago?"

"Exactly, although it’s said that Jian Liufeng distorted and failed to become an Immortal eventually, it still speaks to his formidable capabilities."

Li Gui: "This Jian Hui being able to master the Heavenly Divine Light Sword also speaks volumes about his extraordinariness."

"Heh, Kong Chan, Jian Hui..." Cang Ming chuckled, his scars seemingly becoming more ferocious as he shimmered with a faint red glow, "What about the Eastern Dao School then? Who do they have this time? That Meng Ruocun?"

Li Gui said, "Meng Ruocun, who was originally ranked first at Eastern Dao School, isn’t competing this time. The current first place is a student named Zhou Bai, who is said to have mastered the first ten layers of swordsmanship of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword."

"Has he mastered the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword?" Cang Ming sharply looked at Li Gui.

Li Gui shook his head, "He’s only mastered the first ten layers of swordsmanship, not the complete Tianhe Star Explosion Sword. Besides, he only stepped into the third realm just over a month ago."

Cang Ming quickly lost interest, "I see, he’s got potential, but he’s not a contender in this competition."

Li Gui: "Anyway, we’ve been instructed to secure first place in this competition among the Four Schools, you understand?"

Ten days later, in the sewerage treatment plant beneath Donghua City.

The entire plant was so clean and white it reached an extreme, showing no trace of any impurities.

"It’s as if it were completely cleaned... no, rather than saying it was cleaned, it’s more like the entire sewerage treatment plant had been rebuilt, giving a whole new feel…"

"I heard that the plant manager... has been applying to let Zhou Bai stay a bit longer."

Walking towards the center of the sewage treatment plant, Ying Hui looked at Zhou Bai not far away and asked, "Is it over?"

Zhou Bai smiled at Ying Hui, "All set, how’s my flying sword doing?"

Ying Hui: "The Artifact Refining Institute worked overtime to rush it out for you, try it out in a bit."
