Chapter 208: The Transformation of the Saint Master! Great Yan Province in Shock! (Part 2)
Previously, the death of mid-Deity Transformation expert Xue Jiumo had caused quite a stir in Great Yan Province.
Now, news had reached Penglai Island.
Xue Jiumo’s friend, Daoist Huangpu, who was said to be on the verge of late Deity Tranformation, had received an ancient legacy from Penglai Island and fought a great battle with a late Nascent Soul expert from Mingwang Province, holding his own.
His strength was deemed unfathomable.
Daoist Huangpu publicly declared a bounty of 100,000 high-grade spirit stones to find the killer of Xue Jiumo and exact revenge.
If the killer had any backers, they would be exterminated to honor his fallen friend.
Many forces in Great Yan Province had outposts on Penglai Island, so the news quickly spread back to Great Yan Province, reigniting curiosity among the cultivators there.
Who killed Xue Jiumo?
If Daoist Huangpu discovered the culprit, it would surely lead to a bloody conflict.
However, many didn’t hold out much hope, thinking the killer wouldn’t be found after so long.
But soon, the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land’s Foreign Affairs Elder posted: “Just a mid-Deity Transformation Soul cultivator, threatening to kill everyone in Heavenly Origin Sacred Land? What a joke! Big talk from someone with little ability.”
When the cultivators of Great Yan Province saw this post, they were stunned.
The meaning was clear: Xue Jiumo was killed by someone from Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.
The news spread like wildfire.
The Foreign Affairs Elder’s post quickly became the top trending topic.
There had always been speculation that a Heavenly Origin Sacred Land expert was responsible, given the limited number of Deity Transformation experts in Great Yan Province and the location of Xue Jiumo’s death being only a million miles from Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.
Now, it was confirmed.
Heavenly Origin Sacred Land had two Deity Transformation Supreme Elders. One was an ancient figure, a prodigy from 1,200 years ago, who had long reached late Deity Transformation.
His current cultivation level was a mystery.
If he had acted, it explained the massive disturbance at the battle site and why Xue Jiumo couldn’t escape, being quickly dispatched.
The gap between them was too vast.
As for the other Supreme Elder, Nangong Wan, no one considered her.
She had only achieved Deity Transformation a year ago and couldn’t possibly have the strength to kill Xue Jiumo.
At this moment, many cultivators were excited.
The culprit was confirmed: the late Deity Transformation Supreme Elder.
They wondered how Daoist Huangpu would react upon receiving the news.
Shortly after the Foreign Affairs Elder’s post, the Refining Elder of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land also posted a message with a picture: “After four months, I finally repaired the Azure Falling Bell. This is the trophy from the Saint Master’s first battle after reaching Deity Transformation. I, Wang Changchun, have fulfilled my duty!”
The picture showed a green, crystal-clear bell, looking extraordinary.
Seeing this, everyone’s eyes widened.
Cultivators across Great Yan Province felt a sense of disbelief.
A single thought emerged in their minds.
This… How is this possible?
Xue Jiumo wasn’t killed by a Supreme Elder of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land but by the Saint Master himself?
The Saint Master of Heavenly Origin reached Nascent Soul four months ago and immediately defeated mid-Deity Transformationl Xue Jiumo?
The information revealed by Elder Wang Changchun shocked cultivators from Nascent Soul to Qi Refining.
This was simply unbelievable.
The Saint Master broke through to Nascent Soul only seven months after killing Mo Hanshan with Nascent Soul-level prowess.
That meant three months after killing Mo Hanshan, the Saint Master reached Deity Transformation and then killed Xue Jiumo upon emerging from seclusion?
This was beyond reason.
If it weren’t for the post by the Refining Elder of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, everyone would consider this fake news.
Every cultivator in Great Yan Province was now silent, struggling to digest this astonishing information.
Great Mystery Sacred Land.
The Great Mystery Saint Master suddenly opened his eyes and laughed heartily.
He had mastered Great Mystery Sacred Land’s most profound divine ability, the Great Mystery Annihilation Finger.
A single point could destroy all Dao techniques, one of Great Yan Province’s top Daoist magical arts.
“With the Great Mystery Annihilation Finger mastered, I can shatter Ye Chen’s purple-gold giant palm and annihilate it. The future breakthrough to Deity Transformation depends not only on accumulation but also on comprehending the heavens, entirely different from previous breakthroughs. Though Ye Chen has higher talent, it’s uncertain who will reach Deity Transformation first.”
The Great Mystery Saint Master was filled with fighting spirit and confidence from mastering the Great Mystery Annihilation Finger.
Before leaving seclusion, he opened his Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator and checked Immortal Net Weibo for any notable events during his seclusion.
Seeing the top trending topic, he froze.
“Xue Jiumo was killed by Ye Chen? Ye Chen reached Deity Transformation four months ago? How is this possible?”
