Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Chapter 572 - 476: Three Factions Gather, Immortal King Legacy

Although he had various speculations in his mind, Zhang Kui obviously wouldn’t blurt them out recklessly, so he simply smiled faintly and skipped the matter.

Regardless of whether there was a hidden hand behind the Paradise Realm of the Buddhist Sect, it was still dormant, and his primary task now was to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

In the vast void, time always passed quickly, and before he knew it, half a month had gone by.

Rama suddenly appeared solemn, "Sect Leader Zhang, we have arrived."

Zhang Kui, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, opened his eyes, and the Star Map appeared and drifted around the cabin, showing a huge circular light spot ahead—it was the Holy Silence Pure Land.

However, what surprised them was that there were numerous light spots swirling around that Buddha Land, and upon closer inspection, they were all various types of Starships.

Zhang Kui raised an eyebrow, "Wow, it’s bustling."

Old Monk Rama looked a bit stunned, "These people are not of our Buddha Land, how did they find this place?"

Rama’s reaction wasn’t surprising; the void was vast and boundless, even the largest stars were like grains of sand, and without exact coordinates, lost Buddha Lands were hard to find.

"Let’s take a look and find out."

Zhang Kui didn’t waste words, maneuvering the Chaos Heaven to advance rapidly.

As they got closer, the appearance of these Starships came into full view. At a glance, there were at least a thousand of them, roughly divided into three groups.

One group’s Starships were of varied designs, some as large as mountains, some similar to Chaos Heaven, differing in age, with scattered formations.

Another group’s Starships had a uniform style, exquisitely crafted, each with an exceptionally sharp bow glowing in various colors, like Flying Swords.

The last group Zhang Kui was most familiar with; the Starships were mutated by black fleshy lumps, twisting with tentacles that were terrifyingly grotesque, precisely the Deceptive Immortal Starships.

"Celestial Craft Immortal Realm!"

Old Monk Rama’s face turned somewhat grim, "Sect Leader Zhang, those sword-shaped Starships are characteristic of Celestial Craft Immortal Realm, exceptionally fast and incredibly sturdy, like Flying Swords in the void, even capable of forming a Sword Array."

"These guys are the greediest; they’ll exploit any broken Life Star or damaged Star Realm for benefits, and I’m afraid the Buddha Land will be plundered clean."

"So they are from Celestial Craft Immortal Realm?"

A sharp light flickered in Zhang Kui’s eyes as the Void Domain instantly expanded outward, making the already invisible Chaos Heaven even harder to detect.

Celestial Craft Immortal Realm was not unfamiliar to him.

It was a relatively old power, existing even before the demise of the Infinite Immortal Dynasty, secretly sending operatives to hide in Life Stars.

With the Infinite Immortal Dynasty in place, they dared not act recklessly, but as soon as the Dynasty fell, they bared their fangs, engaging in the same looting of reincarnation as the Evil Gods.

Judging from the Illusion Realm at that time, their Starships were not like this ten thousand years ago; now all transformed into Flying Sword shapes, evidently their strength has grown tremendously over the long years...

Old Monk Rama continued with trepidation in his voice, "Celestial Craft Immortal Realm is full of experts, excelling in Artifact Refining, and they have three True Immortal ancestors guarding them, each only a hair’s breadth from becoming a Starry Sky Dominator, even the Evil Gods are unwilling to provoke them lightly."

"Those disorganized Starships are likely from Star Reef people, there are many Star Thieves in the starry sky, they gather meteors creating massive Star Reefs where countless desperados gather, and they attack isolated Star Realms ruthlessly..."

Zhang Kui shook his head slightly.

In the endless void, dangers abounded—not only the various bizarre environments but also the different forces plundering and killing each other. No wonder Dragon Demon Wu Tianya always mentioned it with a look of trepidation.

Then, Zhang Kui frowned slightly and glanced to the other side, "What’s with those Deceitful Immortals?"

"This old monk happens to know."

Rama played with the curious crystal prayer beads in his hand and sighed, shaking his head, "The Colorless Star Realm was originally controlled by the Deceitful Immortals, but after the rise of the Evil God Black Ming Monarch, the defeated Deceitful Immortals fled into the void, becoming a nuisance like Star Thieves. These are just patrol units, the Star Realm likely isn’t far."

At this point, the three-headed, six-armed old monk looked at Zhang Kui and advised wearily, "Sect Leader Zhang, none of these three forces are easy to mess with, now that they’re gathering here, something big is bound to happen. Buddha Land exploration seems hopeless; we should leave as soon as possible for safety."

"The master is right."

Zhang Kui nodded slightly and waved his hand, a large Starry Sky Shell instantly lit up, "Tai Shi, order the Celestial Essence Star Realm to cease advancing, set up the Grand Array to hide our traces."

A voice immediately came from the Starry Sky Shell: "As you command."

Having said that, Zhang Kui looked into the distance thoughtfully, then suddenly smiled, "Master Rama, I’m going to investigate. You stay safely aboard the ship."

With that, he flashed out of the cabin under the old monk’s bewildered gaze, waved his hand to store the Chaos Heaven into his Personal Space, and then sped into the void.

Old Monk Rama was correct; none of these three forces were easy to provoke, but they precisely piqued Zhang Kui’s interest.

The Buddha Land was no longer a priority, finding out why they gathered here was more important. Having set his grand ambitions, he couldn’t just hide when faced with challenges.

With deep cultivation at this point, although his Soaring Clouds and Mist Immortal Skill lacked star body support for propulsion, his speed was still extremely fast, and before long, he was already close.

The closer he got, the clearer the view.

The Celestial Craft Immortal Realm’s sword-shaped Starships were awe-inspiring; though they had the fewest in number, their formation was orderly, with halos connecting between them, clearly difficult to infiltrate.

The Deceitful Immortals’ side was similar, with rolling black mist churning, as if countless underworld oddities already gathered in the Underworld Starry Sky.

With this thought, Zhang Kui looked at the largest group of Star Thieves, smiling subtly as he silently approached.

He now resided in the void; ordinary means could not detect him. His two Tai Chi Light Wheels rotated, instantly examining the Star Thief Starships.

There were hundreds of Starships of various sizes, some new, some old, but all modified in different ways—some wrapped in ghostly white bones, some with spinning bloody Evil Light, every kind of race represented.

The Star Thief Fleet seemed disorganized, but the closer to the center, the stronger the Cultivators’ power inside the cabins, with the very center occupied by a Three-eyed Bear Demon True Immortal, whose Qi Mechanism was only slightly weaker than his own.

It must be understood, this was just the vanguard.

Zhang Kui’s gaze shifted, instantly moving into one of them.

Inside the cabin, a humanoid Black Dragon True Immortal sat cross-legged, with ghostly blue poison flames dancing around him like sprites.

This was a lone adventurer, piloting a small Starship alone, generally quite confident in his own strength.

As expected, seeing Zhang Kui’s form slowly appear, the Black Dragon was only shocked for a moment before coldly sneering with murderous eyes, "Courting death!"

Instantly, the entire cabin filled with poison flames.

The Black Dragon was confident; his poison flames were extraordinary, extracted from an ancient Star Beast’s corpse, and they’d cause ordinary True Immortal Domains to collapse instantly upon any contact.

Bear in mind, this was a Star Beast that failed to ascend to Starry Sky Dominator, and if not for its corpse being hidden in a Secret Realm, it would’ve long been seized by countless Star Beasts.

Having obtained this fire by chance, his status in Star Reef rose dramatically, but due to too many enemies, he wasn’t confident in recruiting followers, thus staying solitary.

No matter who sent this man, kill him first!

However, to the Black Dragon’s horror, his Star Beast poison flames first suddenly froze, then astonishingly flowed back to him along their released path as if time were reversing.

What kind of Evil Skill is this?!

The Black Dragon looked at Zhang Kui, his body turning cold.

Returning Wind and Returning Fire: Reversal Skill to resolve danger, a Time Skill.

This Celestial Gang Skill contained the Path of Time, its power astounding. With Zhang Kui’s ability, as long as one’s cultivation wasn’t higher than his, he could easily handle them.

This human wasn’t a foe of the Star Thieves!

The Black Dragon immediately reacted, planning to move away, but to his horror, he found his body rigid and unable to move.

This was the center of the Star Thief Fleet, and the ship spirit on board could send distress messages. However, the Black Dragon despairingly discovered that the Black Snake Ship Spirit was trembling under the projection of a golden-robed Divine Spirit.

Before he could plead for mercy, his gaze became dazed.

Zhang Kui smiled gently, putting away his Spell.

As his cultivation deepened, the power of his Earth Demon Skill also grew stronger; with a single Body Fixation Skill and a Soul Capture Skill, he could easily subdue a True Immortal.

Under the power of Soul Capture, the Black Dragon spoke in a daze, revealing the purpose of this mission: "The three forces gathered this time to attack the Colorless Star Realm."

Attack the Colorless Star Realm?

Zhang Kui furrowed his brow slightly, "With the power of your three forces, there might be a slim chance of success, but provoking a Starry Sky Dominator would surely result in heavy losses. Is there something ulterior behind this?"

The Black Dragon didn’t speak for a long time, his face turning painful as if battling against himself, but after another Soul Capture from Zhang Kui, he revealed everything: "Report to the lord, it’s for the Qianwu Immortal Monarch’s legacy..."
