System's Super Sect-Chapter 860 - 817: You Need a New Beginning

For a long time, the great hall remained terrifyingly silent.

No one dared to breathe loudly, fearing that Dongjin might explode and vent his anger on them.

Suddenly, Dongjin shouted twice.

"Investigate!"

"Investigate thoroughly!"

Everyone responded quickly, each of them looking extremely displeased.

How dare they bully the Red Leaf Sect?

Do they want to become the second Lingxiao Sword Sect?

Following that, Dongjin’s cold eyes fell into the crowd, scanning each person until they fixed on Chen Lie, Tian Hui, and Qing Huang. These three were the custodians of the Celestial Rank Fate and could not shirk responsibility for this matter!

Tian Hui naturally realized this, so when Dongjin’s cold gaze landed on them, he stepped forward.

Tian Hui took a step forward, bowing apologetically: "I should be punished, I only hope Vice Sect Leader Dong will not blame Elder Chen Lie and Elder Qing Huang."

Dongjin said coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Tian Hui bowed his head quickly, "I would not dare!"

Dongjin snorted coldly and continued, "The fault of losing the Vortex Map lies with all three of you. I don’t want to say more. From today on... the three of you will guard the Boundless for a hundred years, during which time you’re not allowed to take even a half-step outside!"

"We accept the punishment."

The three accepted the result with dim eyes.

Guarding it is, then.

A hundred years is not unbearably long.

Earth Unrestricted Experts live for a millennium; a hundred years, though long, is bearable.

After announcing their punishment, Dongjin addressed everyone once again, "This matter must be investigated clearly before the Sect Leader returns. If you fail to do so, none of you will have an easy time. Once it’s investigated, report immediately!"

"Understood."

"Understood!"

The crowd responded in unison.

...

Boundless.

Aboard the Flying Ship, Wenping quickly operated the Changmo Technique, generating a large vortex that greedily consumed the rich Wood Qi within the Boundless.

Vast amounts of Wood Qi flooded towards Wenping from all directions.

With thousands of years of foundation, how could Wenping waste it?

Since many Celestial Materials couldn’t be taken away, it was better to absorb a portion of it.

Wood attribute Celestial Materials couldn’t be spared at all.

After a long time, when the Wood Qi in this area gradually thinned, Wenping stopped operating the Changmo Technique and piloted the Flying Ship to another location.

"After thousands of years of foundation, the Wood Qi contained in these Celestial Materials is far richer than that of the current Immortal Sect."

Wenping couldn’t help but sigh.

These few days of cultivation surpassed months within the Immortal Sect.

Bear in mind, the Immortal Sect now has over a thousand Jianmu and hundreds of immortal trees.

Yet the concentration of Wood Qi still can’t compare to the Boundless.

Cultivating in Boundless for a few more days could lead to achieving Perfection in the Upper Realm; a few Mirror-Breaking Pills would suffice to break into Earth Unrestricted.

"If only there were several more places like Boundless." Wenping chuckled, but he knew this was impossible.

Finding one was already a stroke of great luck.

Just as Wenping shifted to another area to continue absorbing Wood Qi from the Celestial Materials, a resounding dragon roar echoed through the sky.

A voice directly penetrated his mind.

The Wood Dragon had made up his mind!

"Human, you say this is not your first encounter with demons of the previous era?"

Wenping responded, "I have two Palace Guards."

"Palace Guards... demons with good bloodlines. How did you assist them?"

The Wood Dragon had thought it through over the past few days.

He was a True Dragon.

How could he become mere fish meat?

Wenping answered directly, "I fed them some things, and their powers are now close to the Middle Realm of Earth Unrestricted."

"Just feeding them food? I have devoured all things of this era, and nothing helped me."

The Wood Dragon tentatively asked.

He wanted to know what this human had to offer.

Wenping continued, "The last era has ended, and everything then is transient. If what boosted your power in the last era isn’t present now, you simply need a fresh start. A whole new beginning!"

"A whole new beginning?"

"You want me to start cultivating again?"

The Wood Dragon questioned.

Wenping shook his head.

"Of course not. By the time you re-cultivate to your peak, hundreds if not thousands of years would have passed, making any travel with me pointless."

"Then what is it?"

"Your demon power is immense, far exceeding any Demon God of the Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm, so you just need to use it properly."

"Utilize demon power?"

"Whether it’s the last era or this one, demons, including the Dragon Race, have not fully evolved. Some demons are gradually discovering the uses of demon power and utilizing it. However, the methods are crude, comparable to a baby learning to walk."

"The Dragon Race isn’t perfect? In both the previous and current eras, Dragons have always been the supreme bloodlines."

The Wood Dragon was noticeably unconvinced.

Wenping smiled softly, "That’s just your version of perfection, not true perfection. Of course, there’s no point explaining much here; when you witness it yourself, you’ll understand what a true demon is."

"I look forward to it."

Though skeptical and barely able to believe Wenping’s bizarre words, the Wood Dragon saw undeniable certainty in Wenping’s eyes.

So whether he believed or not became irrelevant.

What mattered was seeing it with his own eyes, for truth to reveal itself.

...

Three days later.

Behind the Inner Sect main hall of the Red Leaf Sect, at a perilous cliff, turbulent Curved Realm Water flowed from the rock face — the entrance to Boundless!

Not far away, several hundred people followed Chen Lie, Tian Hui, and Qing Huang towards this location. No one spoke, focusing only on walking.

Stopping by the banks of the Curved Realm Water, Chen Lie turned around, sighing, "Go back, a hundred years pass in a blink. Just make sure I still see you all when I return!"

After Chen Lie spoke, Tian Hui and Qing Huang began to say goodbye to their friends, disciples, and family, although there were only a few words.

Despite different thoughts — some found parting difficult while others were indifferent — the trio shared one sentiment.

"After uncovering the mastermind, find a way to send their heads here, alive if possible!"

All three of them bitterly resented the orchestrators of this event.

They also detested Zhao Si and the others.

In retrospect, they felt foolish.

Zhao Si!

Was that a normal name?

Yet they believed it at the time.

Upon entrusting these words, the three finally flew into Boundless.

Inside, they looked at each other.

"Let’s find a place to focus on cultivation."

"After a hundred years of seclusion, maybe we’ll take another step forward."

The three offered each other comfort, then flew to different areas.
