Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 660 - 637: The Situation Has Changed (2/3)

No matter what, Bing Xiulan just wouldn’t leave; no matter how much they tried to send her away, she wouldn’t budge.

After all, she came with a "good intention," eager to sell her sister to them. Zhou Heng didn’t have the heart to be openly angry with her; they had, after all, formed a bond over their love of food.

The Black Donkey was very wary of her, although she claimed to find it lecherous and had no desire to capture it as her mount again; but who knew if the girl might suddenly change her mind? If it accidentally fell into her trap, wouldn’t that tarnish Donkey Master’s illustrious image?

It sat at a distance, staring into the sky, pretending to be deep in thought, but in reality, it was so bored that it had started to doze off.

Bing Xiulan was incredibly enthusiastic, her chatter was no less incessant than the Black Donkey’s, now grilling Zhou Heng for information, now pitching her sister, praising her to the skies, essentially implying that not marrying her sister would be Zhou Heng’s greatest loss.

Watching her non-stop babbling mouth, Zhou Heng really wanted to gag her with a cloth or perhaps simply take her hostage so that as a hostage, she wouldn’t talk so much, right?

Time slipped away amidst her ceaseless chatter, and before they knew it, several hours had passed.

Hm?

Although Zhou Heng remained still, his Divine Intent was cast far and wide. He was the first to notice the three groups of people taking out a Message Transmitting Stone at the same time. Curious, he urged the Black Sword to amplify his Divine Sense, enhancing his sensing ability.

Those three groups of people had all received the same message—a shocking message!

The Imperial Dragon Hall could now admit individuals above the level of Sunshine King!

Zhou Heng was startled at first, as this would completely upset the previous balance of power. Not just those in the Creation Realm, even a Sunshine Emperor could instantly change everything. Although Zhou Tong and the other five were Supremes who could sweep through their peers, no matter how strong they were, they could not hope to defeat a Sunshine Emperor!

But he quickly came to terms with it because, indeed, individuals above the level of Sunshine King could enter, but they would be suppressed to the level of a Sunshine King, whether it was in terms of strength, Divine Sense, or physical defense.

Zhou Heng’s heart relaxed, but he immediately frowned again.

Before, there were only five beings who could overwhelmingly defeat Sunshine Kings, but what if those Kings from the Sublimation and Creation Realms entered? Although their Cultivation Levels would be suppressed, who could say they were not as good as Zhou Tong and those other five prodigies?

Anyone who could enter the Sublimation or Creation Realm was a genius among Martial Artists. Although not everyone could have a higher talent than Zhou Tong and the others, there were definitely those who could match them!

Thus, the competition would definitely become even more fierce. Who wouldn’t want Yuwen Sword’s Dragon Transformation Nine Slashes?

The key question was, would these Kings from the Sublimation and Creation Realms dare to enter?

If their strength was suppressed to that of a Sunshine King, and they were defeated by a real Sunshine King, wouldn’t that be laughable once spread? Moreover, what if... they were killed?

Besides competing with rivals, the Ancestral Mansion itself was fraught with danger, and dying there was not unusual!

And this was a Restriction set by Yuwen Sword, which couldn’t affect them from the outside! But if they entered, he could kill them as easily as flipping his hand!

This would surely be enough to perplex those old monsters to death, right?

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but smile; he immediately regained his composure. No matter who came, as long as he could ascend to the Sunshine King level, even if a Creation Emperor himself came, they would be no match for him in the Imperial Dragon Hall!

He shared the news with the Black Donkey.

"Wow, doesn’t that mean there will be a whole bunch of spine-chilling old monsters vying with us for treasures?" The Black Donkey immediately jumped up, "That’s so shameless! To be a Creation Emperor and still compete with us for treasures, pshaw, haven’t they seen treasures in three lifetimes?"

It spoke with utter disdain, but actually, it was itself that most deserved contempt.

"I think they’ll cherish their feathers and not many will come in!" Zhou Heng voiced his own thoughts.

"You’re wrong! You’re wrong!" Bing Xiulan suddenly interrupted.

"What’s wrong?" Zhou Heng knew she couldn’t stay quiet and asked with a smile but didn’t take her seriously.

"Silly boy, do you know what’s cultivated in the Sublimation Realm?" Bing Xiulan scoffed at him, utterly contemptuous.

"Dharma Aspects!" Zhou Heng had heard several people mention this before.

"And do you know what Dharma Aspects are?" Bing Xiulan asked again, and seeing Zhou Heng’s puzzled expression, she immediately laughed triumphantly, "Don’t know, do you? Ignorant guy, let this miss educate you today, free of charge!"

"Dharma Aspects, simply put, are avatars!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng immediately understood, and frowning, he said, "You mean, those old monsters in the Sublimation and Creation Realms won’t come in person, but they will send their Dharma Aspects into the Imperial Dragon Hall?"

"You can be taught!" Bing Xiulan nodded like an old scholar, continuing, "The Sublimation Realm has three levels: gold, silver, and bronze Dharma Aspects. Generally, there can be seven Dharma Aspects, each one equivalent to an avatar."

"If the distance is short, the real body can see what the Dharma Aspect sees and hear what it hears, but if the distance is too great, that won’t be possible. They must wait for the Dharma Aspect to return to merge memories!"

Zhou Heng pulled at his teeth, "So, Martial Artists in the Sublimation Realm are quite tough to beat, huh?"

"Not necessarily. After all, a Dharma Aspect is merely a Dharma Aspect, an ethereal being. If the real body dies, so does the Dharma Aspect!" Bing Xiulan was somewhat serious this time, "The old experts in the Creation Realm are the real deal. Their cultivated Divine Aspects are undying and indestructible. Any Divine Aspect can transform into the real body!"

Hiss, that really gives off a feeling of being undying and indestructible!

"But the heavens and the earth are fair, no matter whether it’s the loss of a Dharma Aspect or a Divine Aspect, it’s a huge loss for cultivators, just like someone blasting away one of your Seven Wheels Moon. You must cultivate it back from scratch!" Bing Xiulan said.

Zhou Heng was speechless, thinking that avatars were just ridiculously overpowered no matter how you looked at it!

But in just a short while, a smile appeared on his face, brimming with zeal and shooting straight through the skies.

No matter if they were Sublimation Kings or Creation Emperors, let them come! In this special place of the Imperial Dragon Hall, as long as he advanced to the Sunshine King, he could sweep away everything!

He had thought that it would take a very long time to ruthlessly defeat beings from the Sublimation and Creation Realms, but now he had the chance to ravage their Dharma Aspects and Divine Aspects, a rare opportunity indeed!

With Restrictions separating this place, it’s estimated that the real bodies wouldn’t sense their Dharma Aspects or Divine Aspects. As long as he obliterated those Aspects, those old ancestors of the Sublimation and Creation Realms could only suffer silently without voicing their grievances!

Would they have the nerve to spread the word about such an embarrassing matter?

Moreover, they wouldn’t even know who did it, they could only sulk in frustration!

Hahahaha, it seems kind of fun!

Zhou Heng suddenly became extremely anticipative. Of course, all this was predicated on his breakthrough to Sunshine King; otherwise, how could he contend against those old monsters’ avatars who were all Peak Sunshine Kings or even the Supreme beings of Eleven Wheels Sun and Eleven Wheels Moon?

While they were discussing fervently on their side, the three parties in the distance were also in contact with the star ship above, arranging their next moves since beings higher than Sunshine Kings could enter.

Over an hour passed when suddenly three figures descended from the sky, each exuding a terrifying aura!

Sublimation Realm Experts!

Were these Dharma Aspects... or true bodies?

Zhou Heng had a chilling sensation all over. Although he had seen Sublimation Realm Experts before at the auction of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, he knew he was in no danger then!

But now it was different, would a Sublimation Realm Expert killing a few people here be noticed by anyone?

"Let’s go!" Zhou Heng made a snap decision, grabbed Bing Xiulan with his left hand and the Black Donkey with his right, and took off with Swift Cloud Radiant Step toward the depths of the continent.

"Young friend, where are you hurrying off to?" A cold voice sounded, so close it seemed just inches away, and in that same moment, a large white jade-like hand appeared in front of Zhou Heng, blocking his path.

Zhou Heng stopped abruptly; Sublimation Realm Martial Artists were truly formidable, with intention preceding their arrival and capable of encompassing such an expansive area!

"Come back here!" This time, a hoarse voice rang out, and a powerful force swept over them, pulling Zhou Heng and the other two back.

The three Sublimation Realm Experts were a middle-aged Scholar, a withered, thin old man, and an ungainly short person, all with faces so full of wrinkles that their features were indecipherable.

"Elder sirs, why do you obstruct my path?" Zhou Heng asked in a neither servile nor overbearing tone. The Fire Divine Furnace could only be used twice, and he did not want to waste it there, especially since there was no grudge between them.

"I hear you’re skilled in Alchemy, come with me to the Huangfu Family!" the middle-aged Scholar spoke first, his tone leaving no room for negotiation, utterly autocratic.

"Hold on, Huangfu Qing, won’t you ask if I agree first?" the short person interjected coldly.

"What’s there to argue about? This Pharmacist belongs to my Dong Family!" the withered old man stated with overwhelming assertiveness.

"Are you two disrespecting me?" Huangfu Qing, the middle-aged Scholar, said coldly.

"It’s just a Three Stars Pharmacist, Brother Huangfu. It’s not a big deal if you let my Dong Family have him, right?" the withered old man said.

"Hmph!" Huangfu Qing snorted through his nose, his face expressionless but thinking to himself that it wasn’t just his Huangfu Family that could receive news from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, other clans could too!

After learning that all three Soul Consolidating Pills were provided by Zhou Heng, he planned to recruit Zhou Heng. Maybe this kid wasn’t a Seven Stars Pharmacist, but he might have more Soul Consolidating Pills!

He didn’t expect not to be the only clever one!

"Kid, come with me!" the short person said forthrightly and reached out towards Zhou Heng.

"Brother Jin is reaching too far!" Huangfu Qing and the thin elder from the Dong Family acted together to intercept, and bang, bang, bang, the three Sublimation Realm Experts exchanged over a dozen moves in an instant. However, as sudden as their fight began, it stopped abruptly, and they bounced back to stand ten yards apart.

"Why don’t we throw dice to decide who gets the kid?" suggested the short person.

This proposal was not embraced by the other two Sublimation Realm Experts. They all understood that no matter who won, the losers would not stand by and watch the winner take Zhou Heng away, a potential Seven Stars Pharmacist!

If that’s the case... I won’t let anyone have him if I can’t!

All three had the same shocking thought and simultaneously bore a killing intent that roiled the heavens. (To be continued.
