Human Sacrifice
The elders from various sects who had not reached the Dao Fruit Realm led their disciples into the light gate. After everyone had entered, there were few left under the Infinite Abyss, but they were all renowned masters of the Daoist Sect.
Nangong looked at Yang Sanqian and Jiyao and said, "Now that you two are reunited as husband and wife, next year on this day will be your memorial."
Jiyao gazed at Nangong Dao and replied, "My husband and I have not joined forces for many years. Relying solely on you may not be enough."
"Of course it's not just him. Do you think the rest of us are merely spectators?" Eastern Nine interjected.
Yang Sanqian turned to Eastern Nine and said, "The Sword Pavilion is the foremost sword sect. It is said that the Sword Sect Master’s swordsmanship is extraordinary, comparable to that of the Sword Saint of old. I have long wished to learn from him but never had the chance; today I finally get to fulfill that wish."
Dongfang Jiu smiled and said, "The Divine Hero has defeated all opponents below, and I happen to want to test my skills as well. However, before we engage, as the only ones who know the whereabouts and secrets of the Book of Life and Death, shouldn’t you reveal something about this evil artifact?"
Just as Yang Sanqian was about to speak, I called out from the back of the crowd, "They don’t know where the Book of Life and Death is, nor do they understand its secret techniques."
Everyone turned to look at me. An elderly man asked, "Who do you think you are? From your voice, you sound like a mere child."
I lifted my hat to reveal my face and said to the crowd, "My name is Yang Hao; I am the owner of the Book of Life and Death that you are searching for."
At these words, an uproar erupted among the crowd, while Nangong and Dongfang Jiu both revealed a hint of sinister smiles.
Dongfang Jiu laughed heartily and said, "What a delightful ending! A family of three has been reunited!"
Jiyao looked at me, clutching her chest with tears in her eyes as she asked, "Are you really my son?"
Jiyao turned to Yang Sanqian. Since Yang Sanqian had never seen my face before, he too seemed unable to believe it.
"How could you possibly be Yang Sanqian's son? He must be at least twenty-three years old now; how old are you?" someone exclaimed.
Mr. Chang added, "Indeed it is Yang Hao; he just seems a bit too young."
I said, "After consuming the supreme elixir refined by Senior Sun Simiao, I have regained my youth. The treasures I possess far exceed what you can imagine, and they surpass those of any sect leader in your Daoist Sects."
Dongfang Jiu laughed heartily and said, "Yang Hao, if I'm not mistaken, you must have also learned the Martial Dao Classic, right? All the major sects, including my Sword Pavilion's Scripture Repository, have been destroyed by you?"
I replied, "That's correct. I have learned all the Dao Jing from every sect. Today, I will put an end to your thoughts about the Martial Dao Classic. It cannot be learned; it can only choose its practitioner. It is neither martial arts nor Daoist Arts but a profound secret that allows one to comprehend all Cultivation Methods around them. Even if you obtained it, it would be of no use."
The crowd murmured in disbelief; they never expected that the Martial Dao Classic, which had been coveted for thousands of years, was so elusive.
"Nonsense! The Martial Dao Classic is the true scripture of martial ethics passed down by Ancestor Li Er. It cannot be dismissed as your vague nonsense. Old Man wants to see what skills you possess." An elder charged at me.
"Hao Xin!"
Jiyao was about to leap forward when Yang Sanqian grabbed her arm and said, "He can handle this."
"Die!" The elder roared, his fist shaking the mountains and splitting the earth, sweeping through the sky with overwhelming force.
"Overbearing Fist?" The crowd frowned. The Overbearing Fist was a legacy Ultimate Technique from a medium-sized sect in Central Plains known as the Overlord Sect. The one attacking was the sect leader left behind by the Overlord Sect. Without Dongfang Jiu's consent, no sect leader from Central Plains would dare to step into Rear Kunlun to seize the Holy Medicine.
Because once Dongfang Jiu became enraged, eliminating any sect from Central Plains would be as easy as reaching into a pocket.
"Die!" I also shouted loudly and unleashed the forbidden technique of Rift Path. In an instant, the void was pierced; the air cracked open like shattered glass. The leader of the Overlord Sect screamed as I sent him flying with a single punch, landing over a hundred meters away. All his meridians and bones were shattered; after struggling a few times, he lost all signs of life.
The power of that punch shocked everyone present!
"A person in the early Divine Transformation Realm killed a late Core Formation Stage expert with one punch? The difference in strength could be tenfold! How is this possible?!" someone exclaimed.
"Were you just using my Longhu Mountain's forbidden technique Rift Path?" an elder dressed in a Tai Chi Daoist Robe asked.
"What? Zhang Master, is this your Longhu Mountain's forbidden technique Rift Path?" someone asked in astonishment. "Wasn't it already lost? How could it appear in a Daoist Sect?"
Longhu Mountain Forbidden Technique Rift Path was destroyed in front of everyone by the masters of Longhu Mountain because it was too domineering. Throughout history, many sects have had forbidden techniques. These so-called forbidden techniques are paths that seize the land, different from ordinary Cultivation Methods, and can slay Demons. However, due to the excessive brutality inherent in these Cultivation Methods, which often lead to killing and destruction, they have been prohibited by the Daoist Sect for thousands of years.
I said, "Indeed, what I just used was the Longhu Mountain forbidden technique Rift Path. But among all present, who doesn't have one or two means to protect themselves? Isn't Divine Serpent Cult Leader Nangong's True Fire of Taiyi also a forbidden technique? Have you ever held him accountable?"
"No matter what, you should be stripped of your cultivation for stealing the martial arts of various sects. Stealing a forbidden technique is an even greater crime," said the leader of the Wudang Sect.
I replied, "How ridiculous for you to be the Wudang Sect Leader, a representative of righteous sects, and yet your words sound like a joke. If I didn't admit it, what crime would you use to kill me? I possess the Book of Life and Death, which endangers lives. I have the Zhou Compass, which has sought out many Treasures and cut off opportunities for many people. I've learned from the Martial Dao Classic, acquiring far too much that I shouldn't have learned. Or perhaps my heart leans towards darkness, endangering your disciples and descendants—should I not exist in this world?"
Eastern Nine Smiles spoke up, saying, "Yang Hao, oh Yang Hao, this is the first time I've found you so adorable. These old folks are just pretending to be magnanimous; I've long been unable to tolerate them."
I said, "You're not exactly a good person either."
"Hahaha, Dongfang Jiu, you tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing rice; your good intentions are taken as foolishness!" laughed Nangong.
"You're no better," I shot back at Nangong Dao.
With a slightly cold gaze, Nangong said, "Enough! A mere insect with a foul odor thinks it can make a name for itself before the Underworld Sect. Guardian, take this madman down!"
The left Guardian of the Serpent Cult, Yu Youya, looked at me and said, "You think you're something special just because you killed a master of the Overlord Sect? The day you escaped at Azure Cloud Mountain, let's see how you escape today!"
As Yu Youya spoke, a large hand pressed down towards me. I countered with a punch that shattered his fist. Then I vanished before everyone’s eyes. Feeling something unusual behind him, as he turned around, I struck him squarely on the nose, causing blood to spurt out.
"The left Guardian is nothing more than this; once defeated by the Core Formation Stage expert Yun Donglai, now just a Nascent Soul Expert," I mocked.
Having nearly been killed by the last move of the Azure Cloud Sword Classic from Yun Donglai at Azure Cloud Mountain, and now being punched by me again, shame and anger surged within him. His eyes turned red as he unleashed his Ultimate Technique, his body radiating with powerful Dao Qi, filled with murderous intent.
Yang Sanqian said, "Yu Youya, do you really think I'm not here?"
With a frown, Yu Youya looked towards Nangong. Nangong Dao replied, "Don't worry about killing him; I'll deal with Yang Sanqian."
"Wait, Nangong Master, there's no rush to kill him." Dongfang Jiu turned to me at that moment. " Yang Hao, I actually don't understand why you're so eager to reveal your secrets. The only person who knows you've learned the Martial Dao Classic and stole books to study is me. No one else knows, and I had no intention of exposing you. What are you trying to prove?"
I replied, "Yes, I want to prove something. I want to tell everyone that I, Yang Hao, have come this far without needing anyone's help. I rely on myself and have walked this path step by step, with no connection to Yang Sanqian or Jiyao. If you have any grievances, come find me; there's no need for indiscriminate killing."
"Hao," Jiyao said with a pained expression.
I continued, "The one who raised me was an ordinary woman named He Xiumei. Anyone who targets me will meet a terrible end. I'll ask again: do you members of the Five Major Sects intend to treat me as an enemy?!"
The Emei Sect Leader angrily declared, "This child has a cruel nature and a violent temper; we cannot leave him alive!"
The Wudang Sect Leader added, "Indeed, at such a young age, his murderous intent is so strong; he must not be spared!"
"Must not be spared!" everyone echoed in unison.
Several sect leaders and a group of Elders surrounded me, setting up a formation to prevent my escape.
I looked at them and said, "With your words, I feel reassured. The Kunlun Demon Realm will become the burial ground for your disciples. I will pay special attention to the future heirs of your sects."
I glanced at Jiyao and Yang Sanqian, then suddenly vanished from their restraints, passing through the fading light gate into the Kunlun Demon Realm.
"Your disciples will be slaughtered by me, and you will pay a heavy price for offending me."
