Chapter 380: Beyond Heavens Pavilion

If anyone were to look at the Azure Origin World from space, they would see two massive masses that seemed somewhat joined together but separated by a layer of formless gray gas.

There seemed to be a strange world boundary separating the two giant masses and other than that, there seemed to be a massive spatial barrier that separated continents on both worlds.

Above the giant land masses seemed to exist a strange world boundary and cultivators who could move around there were basically Martial Extermination Realm experts.

.

Everyone there was a Martial Extermination Realm expert at the very least, but not every Martial Extermination Realm expert had the authority to enter the region. It was the region all of them had heard of before, the Beyond Heavens Pavilion!

The Beyond Heavens Pavilion might lie high above the two worlds, but due to the gravitational forces of the two worlds, the core of the Beyond Heavens Pavilion seemed to resemble a void whirlpool. Even though it wasn’t impossible for people to pass through the whirlpool, the risks they would have to take weren’t small. As such, the core of the Beyond Heavens Pavilion was known as the boundary between the two worlds.

If a true expert who had reached a certain level of cultivation were to stand close to the whirlpool and look down, they would be able to see void boundaries appearing from time to time. Those void boundaries that existed seemed to be similar to the battlefield between the two worlds.

There was a figure sitting not too far away from the whirlpool and his clothes seemed extremely untidy. He seemed pretty unkempt as he pressed his short sword against his body while downing another swig of wine. Smacking his lips together, he turned to look at the people sitting on the other side of the whirlpool. There was an old bearded expert and a short man who sported a long-ass mustache who were seated quietly on that side. Each of them seemed to be waiting for each other to do something.

The three of them looked at each other quietly and a strange scene played out. There were various spots of light not too far away watching the three of them silently.

All of a sudden, a stream of foreign qi emerged from the whirlpool, causing the heaven and earth qi to turn a lot denser than before.

“Haha! World origin is returning. Another Martial Extermination Realm cultivator from your Azure Origin World probably died. Kou Chongxue, two of them have already died since the battle started. I’m afraid you’re going to lose!” The person who spoke was the short man who sported the mustache and his voice rang loudly in the ears of everyone present. Even though he was short, his voice boomed really loudly through the air.

Kou Chongxue, who was seated opposite him, downed another swig of his wine before muttering softly, “Shorty Xu, the battle has yet to end. Why are you acting so impatiently? Are you in such a hurry to lose? Did your brains turn to mush during your cultivation?”

“You!” The short man roared with rage and got to his feet, but he was stopped by the bearded old expert.

“Martial Nephew Xu, can’t you see that Kou Chongxue is trying to rile you up?” The bearded old man chuckled in amusement.

With his expression changing, the short man glared at Kou Chongxue before sitting down once again. He snorted coldly and no longer said another word.

The old bearded expert turned to Kou Chongxue and muttered, “Patriarch Kou, your strength is truly as tyrannical as the rumors say. You managed to suppress the two of us alone and that alone is truly respectable. However, my Changbai Holy Land has been in existence for hundreds of years and our foundations are solid. If you keep this up and let the battle run wild, twenty years of your hard work will go down the drain! Can’t you just wait for our worlds to fuse naturally and upgrade the Tongyou Mysterious World into a holy land? Why are you taking such a huge risk?”

Kou Chongxue chuckled softly and his gaze turned a little hazy. “The outcome of the battle can’t be decided with just two deaths. Then again, what makes you so confident that the person who died came from my Azure Origin World? Even if there are no traces of bloodline cultivation from the person who died, you can’t be sure that he’s an ally of my Azure Origin World.”

Snorting coldly, the short man replied, “Since that’s the case, we’ll keep watching!”

After he spoke, he became silent again with the old bearded expert beside him.

He might be done, but the old bearded expert was not. He glanced at the space behind Kou Chongxue and asked, “Patriarch Kou, you made a huge show of suppressing the three deers of the White Deer Paradise back in the Ji Continent and now, you’re holding the two of us back alone in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion. Aren’t you afraid that the White Deer Paradise will take the chance to mess with your Tongyou Institution?”

Kou Chongxue released a bout of hearty laughter, “If the three of them dare to break the rules again, I won’t hold back any longer. From what I see, the three of them know what is important. Like we say, even enemies will have to stand together when faced with an external threat.”

A cold snort came from behind Kou Chongxue as soon as the words left his lips.

The old bearded expert smiled and he seemed to have thought of something as he continued. “Oh right. I forgot to say this before but I would like to congratulate you on your recovery.”

A light flashed through Kou Chongxue’s eyes and he sneered softly, “Old Man Luo, do you think I’m stupid? There’s no need to beat about the bush.”

“Indeed. I hope you can answer my questions then. Firstly, How did you enter the battlefield between the two worlds in the past without being detected by us?”

Even without extending his divine sense, Kou Chongxue could tell that many people were paying attention to their conversation. However, he didn’t plan to hide it anyway. He spoke casually. “Easy. When I was injured, my strength didn’t reach the threshold of the Martial Dipper Realm. That’s how none of you detected my presence in the battlefield between the two worlds.”

“Impossible!” The short mustached man yelled all of a sudden. “If you had been hiding in the battlefield between the two worlds all along, your recovery would cause all of us to discover you. However, you only managed to display your strength at the Martial Dipper Realm after your Tongyou Institution moved the Coral Forest out of the battlefield between the two worlds and after Ancestor Yun Lu arrived. Something sounds fishy about this!”

Glancing at the shorty from the corner of his eye, Kou Chongxue muttered, “Well, if you think it’s impossible, I have nothing more to say. Why do I have to explain my methods to you?”

Rage filled the short expert’s heart but he felt a palm pressing him back down to the ground. The old bearded expert looked at Kou Chongxue with a deep gaze before he entered the conversation again. “Patriarch Kou, you might be terrifyingly strong and exceptionally lucky to the point where we have to admit defeat. However, now that you found a way to restore balance to your fate dippers, do you know what it truly means to everyone in the Martial Dipper Realm?”
