Chapter 1014: Chapter 879: The Strong Ones from Two Hundred Years Ago

From all directions, more and more black spirit butterflies appeared outside of Xiangrong City, swallowing up all the forests surrounding it.

What was extremely frightening was that the Xiangrong Forest used to be lush and leafy, just like autumn. As these black spirit butterflies slowly encroached, all the green leaves of the plants withered away. The emerald ocean gradually transformed into a black space covering the sky, and even in the daytime, the heavens and the earth were still dim, as if it were always dusk.

And once night fell, the land for hundreds of kilometers around the entire Xiangrong City became so dark that one couldn’t see their own hand in front of them.

The spirit butterflies within the city were colorful. These butterflies should have made up the vast majority of Xiangrong Earth Realm. Now, these butterflies had become a very small part, cowering in fear within the city, daring not to venture outside to gather the spirit dew and pollen.

The city seemed to be slowly swallowed by the black sea.

People wanting to leave the city found it impossible to do so. Whenever some soul pet masters formed teams and ventured a hundred kilometers outside of the city, looking at the vast and boundless black army, they no longer had the courage to continue.

“They are very aggressive, but if you don’t disturb them actively, they won’t release skills. I attempted to walk under their dense forest, and they did not react at all,” the city began to spread the news about the black spirit butterflies.

“It is said that the black spirit butterflies are transformed from the souls of the dead. With so many outside the city, does it mean that…”

“Black spirit butterflies are like a plague. The dust they spread can easily destroy life functions and then turn us all into skeletons.”

The entire city was in a state of panic, after all, the black spirit butterflies were getting closer and closer.

The world was eerily silent and frightening. They quietly lay around the human city, graceful, cold, and icy. As far as the eye could see, it was a magnificent darkness, permeated with death…

…

The city master mansion, like a garden, had brightly colored spirit butterflies gloomily flittering about, maintaining this pure land of color.

Vice City Master Flower Emperor Master Xia Zhixian was seated at the main seat in the hall. To both sides of the seat were Eight Desolates – Bin Liao, Sixteen Extremes Long Jue – Wen Luo, Twenty Four Marks including Zhuang Trace and Mei Hen, and six men who had the strength of a high emperor level but were not crowned with a mark, soul alliance appointed strongmen.

The position was a title specifically created by the Soul Covenant for members above high emperor level. Every soul alliance member with high emperor strength could attain this title, and their authority was on par with Seventh Level World Lords. The number of strong ones in this position might even exceed those of the high emperor level experts in positions like the three great palaces’ elder positions, guest officer positions, and holy guard leader positions.

However, most appointed strongmen preferred to wander, and a portion of them overlapped with those loyal to the three great palaces. Some traveled all around pursuing the path of cultivation, and some others lived in seclusion, rarely involving themselves in conflicts.

Hence, although the title represented a powerful group of high-ranking individuals, the members who were really willing to take part in the war between the three great palaces and the Soul Covenant were not many, as the three great palaces had longstanding and profound connections with many strong individuals, clans, and noble families.

At this moment, the six appointed strongmen that appeared in the city master mansion were renowned unparalleled experts in the human domain from the past few decades. As they grew old and weary, they lived in seclusion in Xiangrong City to rest and recuperate.

Once one reached a certain age, some naturally understood that they could no longer make breakthroughs in their cultivation. Choosing to live in quiet retirement was a wise decision.

Among the six, Li Guang and Duan Qiming were two elders whom Chu Mu had seen before. These two held extremely high status in Xiangrong City, and even the city master, Flower Emperor Master, had to show them a certain level of respect and courtesy due to their seniority.

The other four appointed strongmen were also white-haired elderly men who, in the past, were powerful enough to cause the Wanxiang Realm to tremble, but as they themselves and their soul pets aged, their strength was undoubtedly nowhere near what it had been before.

“Elder Li, as per your words, are we only able to wait quietly like this?” Flower Emperor Master Xia Zhixian gazed at Li Guang and asked.

“Yeah, because I am also unable to determine what exactly it is here for,” nodded Li Guang.

“Elder Li, if these spirit butterfly armies attack our city, wouldn’t we be facing a great calamity? The black spirit butterflies are much more aggressive than other spirit butterflies,” spoke Old Pang Deren, who had lived in seclusion, with a worried tone.

“Then you can take a group of people to sweep them away!” replied Duan Qiming, glancing at Pang Deren with a cold and sarcastic tone.

Sweeping them away was obviously impossible. According to estimates, there were probably 1 million black spirit butterflies within two hundred kilometers of Xiangrong City. Even if a dominator-level creature appeared, it would have to fight fiercely to possibly clean them out.

“After all these years, haven’t you found the reason?” asked the Flower Emperor Master.

In fact, Flower Emperor Master had been forewarned about the appearance of the black spirit butterflies. Xia Zhixian was extremely puzzled as to why these black spirit butterflies chose not to migrate to the Forbidden Area but instead lingered in the human domain, even directly entering Xiangrong City this time.

Although the black spirit butterflies had not shown any hostility nor was there any sign of them attacking humans, being gradually swallowed up like this, no one could be free from panic.

“This…” Li Guang showed a hesitant expression.

In reality, both Li Guang and Duan Qiming knew what the appearance of the black spirit butterflies meant, but they were afraid to speak, as this concerned a matter the Soul Covenant was very wary of.

“Two esteemed elders, please speak without reservation,” suddenly, a pleasant voice came from the side.

The gazes of everyone in the hall immediately converged on the woman, who in her thin veil and fluttering sleeves, exuded nobility and elegance as she gracefully floated in, instantly adding many splendors to the entire hall.

Those present were the top level of the Soul Covenant, with countless experiences and having seen innumerable women, but even for them, a woman so ethereal and fairy-like standing before them at such a close range still took their breath away with her stunning beauty. It would be difficult for even the most powerful individuals in the world to maintain their composure in her presence.

“Empress.”

“Your Highness.”

Everyone in the hall promptly paid their respects, some kneeling and others bowing their heads, no one daring to look at her directly.

Flower Emperor Master Xia Zhixian gave up the main seat to her and stood to the side, her expression carrying a hint of curiosity as she looked at the Empress, not understanding why she had suddenly taken an interest in this matter.

“Your Highness, this matter already happened two hundred years ago,” Li Guang said in a low voice after a moment of hesitation.

“Yeah, go on,” the Empress said indifferently.

Li Guang hesitated for a moment, glancing at Elder Duan.

Elder Duan rolled his eyes and said through Soul Sense, “Just say it. I reckon some people here might be aware of his existence.”

Li Guang nodded his head.

“Two hundred years ago, our Xiangrong City had an obscure expert named Cheng Mo,” Li Guang stated, scanning the attending crowd with his gaze, curious if anyone would show a reaction to the name.

However, the only person to react was Flower Emperor Master Xia Zhixian.

“After reaching the Peak Emperor Grade, Cheng Mo almost never appeared in our human domain for fifty years. He was someone truly devoted to the path of the Soul Pet. It is said that during those fifty years, he visited all the Four Great Forbidden Zones in the East, West, South, North and went beyond to the worlds outside these forbidden zones…” Li Guang slowly continued.

The moment these words were spoken, a significant disturbance erupted!

To cross the Forbidden Domains and reach the worlds beyond, the basic requirement is to have achieved the Dominator Level.

Yet, within the Human Domain, how many individuals have stepped into that level?

Even those who reach the Dominator Level might not successfully make the crossing. At least the Four Heroes, Heavenly Consort Mu Qingyi, and some reclusive sages have never truly seen the world beyond the Forbidden Zones.

Even the strongest person among humans, the Soul Alliance Master, has only crossed the Northern Forbidden Area and the East Forbidden Area!

A man who has crossed all the Forbidden Zones in all directions, doesn’t this imply that his strength could surpass the Alliance Master??

“There’s no need for doubt. According to some of the older generation, it is indeed possible that Cheng Mo’s strength was above that of the Alliance Master two hundred years ago,” Elder Duan bluntly stated the fact.

“Stronger than the Alliance Master?” Long Jue was stunned for a moment, looking at Duan Qiming with a hint of surprise.

“Impossible, the Alliance Master is the strongest person in our human history. It’s improbable that someone stronger than him exists. If this Cheng Mo truly reached that realm, he should have lived even longer. Why then has he disappeared without a trace?”

“Exactly, I have never heard of this Cheng Mo before,” Zhuang Trace expressed, looking thoroughly unconvinced.

Elder Duan sniffed disdainfully and said, “What would you youngsters know? You’ve only lived for a few years. How could you understand matters from two hundred years ago?”

“Elder Duan, that’s not very pleasant to hear. You’re only a little over a hundred years old yourself. How could you be clear about an event from two hundred years ago? Moreover, if this person was really that strong, why is there no monument for him, no documentation in the annals? Someone of such might should have had his name immortalized for thousands of years,” Bin Liao of the Eight Desolates spoke in a calm tone, yet with echoes of arrogance, clearly also skeptical of such a person’s existence.

The Empress did not immediately comment, instead looking at Flower Emperor Master Xia Zhixian.

Xia Zhixian subtly nodded and whispered, “I have heard the elders of my family mention him briefly, but whether it’s true or not, I can’t confirm.”

The Empress gave a slight nod and gestured for Li Guang to continue.

“The emergence of the Black Spirit Butterfly could be related to a former Soul Pet of this strongman from two hundred years ago that has now become masterless. I think, once it truly reveals itself, the existence of Cheng Mo can then be proven,” Li Guang said, his words tinted with hope, his typically dim eyes flickering with rare luster!
