Chapter 693: Everybody’s Scheming, Peeking into the Soul of Gu Yuan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Every Wisdom Elite was the darling of Wisdom, and it took immeasurable resources and the ethereal Wisdom for one to be nurtured into a Wisdom Elite. This was the supreme power of every dimension. Therefore, it required the consumption of the Origins of the Dimension. For this reason, there could only be a limited number of Wisdom Elites in each dimension, which undoubtedly put the Heavenly Realm fighters in despair.

At this time, the appearance of the seventh dimension undoubtedly drove everyone crazy with the thought of pillaging it just like the Eldritchs did. The fourth dimension would rise to the peak if they pillaged the resources of the seventh dimension. It was best to let the seventh dimension shatter so they could obtain its Origins, just like the third dimension.

In the Western Region of the fourth dimension stood an extremely splendid palace. The whole palace was like the Heavenly Palace. It was located high above in the sky. The whole palace was carved from divine white jade and it radiated with holy white light.

Around the palace, there were many smaller palaces and at this moment, many creatures with human forms and pure white wings dressed in thin white gauze skirts were flying around the palace. They belonged to one of the pinnacle races of the fourth dimension, the Angel Clan.

“Urgent news about the seventh dimension!” A glowing male angel cut through the sky, landed straight in the central palace, and quickly entered the place.

On the high platform in the main hall sat the tall Lord Angel. His eyes were dazzling like stars as he stared at the male angel. A majestic voice came from his mouth. “Speak!”

“It’s just as the rumors say, the portal to the seventh dimension has been opened and if more energy can be obtained from the seventh dimension, it’ll definitely push anyone to the level of a Wisdom Elite!” said the male angel excitedly.

“The seventh dimension, eh? It should be the youngest of the seven dimensions, and the one with the most opportunities!” Lord Angel’s voice was leisurely and his eyes were as deep as galaxies. He paused before continuing, “The Angel Clan must get their hands on it so that we can truly dominate the fourth dimension!”

The reason why the Eldritch Clan was so strong was that they had completely dominated the first dimension. Once a clan monopolized the resources of an entire dimension, there was no stopping them from reaching the pinnacle!

Although the fourth dimension was able to resist the Eldritch Clan, they could only do so when all the races in the fourth dimension joined forces to drive them off. It was simple math—the Eldritch Clan had more Wisdom Elites than they did. It was obvious who the stronger party was. Whether the Angel Clan could dominate the fourth dimension and surpass the Eldritchs rested solely on the resources of the seventh dimension. It would be perfect if the resources could birth more angel Wisdom Elites.

An angel general immediately asked for orders, “One word from you, Lord, and I’ll take the lead in the charge against the seventh dimension.”

The other generals also spoke at the same time, “We’re also willing to take the lead in the charge!”

“Calm down!” Lord Angel waved his hand, his tone full of profound meaning. “Do you really think it’d be that easy to win a war against the seventh dimension?” He looked at the angel messenger and said, “Tell me all that you know.”

The angel opened his mouth and said, “We went to the Eastern Wasteland and discovered that the Demon Emperor and his subordinates had all disappeared. We also found out that Murong’s manor was razed to the ground. I’m afraid that these two powerhouses were annihilated by the people from the seventh dimension.”

Hearing that, the faces of many angels sank slightly.

“Both the Demon Emperor and the Murong Clan had a strong Wisdom Elite in their midst. It seems that the seventh dimension has given birth to a Wisdom Elite, too!”

“Maybe more than one!”

“Looks like they have some weight to them. We should be cautious on how to proceed.”

The messenger angel continued to speak, “Some people say that the Murong Clan was annihilated because they obtained a part of the Origin fragments of the third dimension, but I don’t know how true that is.”

“The Origin fragments of the third dimension?”

“That’s outrageous! My Angel Clan suppressed the devil in the Western Regions and allowed all living beings to be redeemed. Why didn’t the Murong Clan share this opportunity with us?”

“This is the Origins of the Dimension we’re speaking of. Our Angel Clan would surely produce another Wisdom Elite if we had our hands on it.”

“Those stupid Murongs! They deserved to die! It’s our loss now that the Origins of the dimension has fallen into the hands of the seventh dimension.”

“All the more reason for us to go to the seventh dimension!”

The impact of this news was so great that all the angels lost their composures. The Origins of the Dimension was undoubtedly the most precious thing in all of the seven dimensions. It contained within it the source of power and represented endless possibilities.

“The Murong Clan, which had the Origins of the Dimension, has been destroyed. This shows that there are unusually skilled fighters in the seventh dimension that shouldn’t be underestimated. Moreover, the Angel Clan’s also in an extraordinary period, and it isn’t suitable for us to go into battle,” said Lord Angel. His tone was calm and his eyes were gleaming with wisdom. He added, “The news came too suddenly, and I can vaguely sense that there’s a big secret behind it.”

“Lord Angel, do you really expect us to just stay put and watch from the sidelines?” asked someone.

“Of course not, but there’s no need to rush in straight away.” Lord Angel already had a plan in mind and he ordered, “Let my daughter, War Angel, go. Don’t do anything if it isn’t necessary. The main goal’s to dig up more information and let the others from the fourth dimension be the guinea pig.”

At the same time, the entire Eastern Wasteland had become unprecedentedly lively as all the major powerhouses rushed over. On this day, the sun in the sky was blotted out, casting a huge shadow on the ground. A huge and magnificent ship had arrived at the Eastern Wasteland, above the Ye manor. The entire Ye manor was actually under the shadow of this huge ship.

“This… This is the Yun family’s Heaven-Shattering Godship!”

“I’m overwhelmed by it! Aren’t they afraid of angering the Ye’s ancestor by parking above their manor?”

“I’ve gotta hand it to the Yun family. They stop at nothing when it comes to war. They must want the seventh dimension’s resources very badly.”

Many monks retreated one after another, looking at the giant ship with eyes that were burning with awe.

Suddenly, several incomparably terrifying auras burst forth from the giant ship, distorting the space. Everyone then saw a pair of horses flying out of the ship before they landed on the Ye manor.

Ye Qingshan did not dare to leave them waiting. He rushed over to greet them personally, saying, “Ye Qingshan, the master of the Ye clan, respectfully greets the seniors of the Yun family.” He dared not say anything about the Yun family’s domineering behavior. If the ancestor of the Ye Clan was still alive, he might have grumbled a bit but there was no one backing him up now.

The Yun family was led by two elderly men with childlike faces. One was dressed in black and the other was dressed in white. Their eyes flashed with brilliance, and the aura they were emitting was erratic. Although they did not exude coercion, the people nonetheless felt great pressure from them.

The black-robed old man glanced at Ye Qingshan, frowned, and said, “What qualifications do you have to meet us? Where’s Ye Xuan?”

Ye Qingshan stubbornly stood his ground, smiled, and said, “My ancestor’s in a critical juncture of his meditation retreat. I humbly ask for your understanding, Black Guardian.”

The four major guardians of the Yun family were purple, green, black, and white. They were all Wisdom Elites, making their lineup truly terrifying. This time, they had sent Black and White Guardian.

“Meditation retreat? Are you sure it’s not because he doesn’t dare to show his face around us?” Black Guardian said coldly, staring at Ye Qingshan with cold eyes. It felt as if one look from him was enough to kill a person, which made Ye Qingshan tremble. Then, he said in a deep voice, “I advise you not to treat us as fools.”

On the side, White Guardian said, “Ye Qingshan, do you really think we believe you when you said you didn’t notice the portal appeared in the Eastern Wasteland? Tell us everything you know now!”

It would be strange if the powerhouses did not know anything when something as big as this happened. They even guessed that this news might have been deliberately leaked by the powerhouses of the Eastern Wasteland. They had definitely checked out the portal before leaking the news.

Ye Qingshan fell silent, his expression changing constantly as if he had fallen into a dilemma. In fact, he had long guessed that it would come to this. Everything was going according to his plan. In the end, he sighed for a long time and said, “I can’t hide anything at all from the two of you. We’ve indeed gathered some information. We even fought with the people from the seventh dimension.”

“Give us the details,” said Black Guardian coldly.

Ye Qingshan had been prepared for this situation a long time ago, so he began to tell them what he knew. However, he chose to leave out the death of the several Wisdom Elites.

“Oh? You’ve even captured one of them alive?” Black Guardian’s face moved slightly.

Ye Qingshan nodded and said, “Yes, and if I’m not mistaken, this person has some status in the seventh dimension. He knows a lot, but it’s very tricky to get information out of him.”

“Bring us to him,” said White Guardian.

Soon, with Ye Qingshan leading the way, they arrived at the place where Gu Yuan was detained. Seeing that Gu Yuan was nothing but a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal, Black Guardian and White Guardian frowned at the same time. How important could a weakling like him be?

Ye Qingshan knew what they were thinking and said, “Guardians, it’s true that this person isn’t strong but he has a secret backing in the seventh dimension. This secret cannot be forcibly explored. I’ve exhausted my means and still came up empty-handed.”

Black Guardian shook his head disdainfully, “Tsk, tsk, tsk. The Ye Clan bested by a mere ant?” He then said, “Master Tongxin, it’s time for you to work your magic. Peek into his soul and get us some information no matter what!”

Master Tongxin walked out from behind him and said nonchalantly, “This is easily done. Please, observe from the sideline, Guardians.”

“No!” cried Ye Qingshan. “This person’s contaminated with something strange and soul peeking doesn’t work on him!”

Black Guardian said coldly, “Out of the way! The Yun family can do what the Ye Clan cannot! We brought Master Tongxin with us because he’s the best when it comes to peeking into others’ souls. No one can hide anything from him!”

“So what if he’s contaminated? I can handle anything! Even the secrets of a Wisdom Elite!” Master Tongxin smiled proudly and tauntingly said, “So much for the mighty Ye Clan. This person’s only a Chaos Daluo Immortal and under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t even bother with him. Even his contamination poses no problem for me!”

After he finished speaking, he started to walk steadily toward Gu Yuan. Ye Qingshan did not say anything else, but a strange color flashed deep in his eyes. ‘I’ve already warned you. Don’t blame me when you’re dead!’

He was displeased with the Yun family and his warning was only an act. He was very curious to find out what would happen once Master Tongxin peeked into Gu Yuan’s soul. He was happy that someone volunteered to be a guinea pig.

Even Shen Suanzi died after preparing for half a day. He bet that Master Tongxin would not last, too. At this time, Master Tongxin was already standing beside Gu Yuan and he was staring at him with eyes as deep as black holes as if he could see through everything.

Gu Yuan was slightly startled but he quickly composed himself as he decided to put his trust in the expert. “What are you looking at, you dog!” he shouted.

The cold light in the eyes of Master Tongxin suddenly flashed and his murderous aura was boiling when he sinisterly said, “My soul peeking’s divided into two kinds. The first is painless, and the second will give you a pain worse than anything you can imagine. Unfortunately, I’ll be using the second kind on you.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan laughed immediately and said frankly, “Come on, I hope you can make me feel a little bit of pain. Don’t disappoint me like the weak Ye Qingshan and Lei Teng.”

Master Tongxin was so angry that he smiled. ‘How dare you provoke me? Who gave you the courage?’ Without saying anything further, he activated his mana and an incomparably powerful soul power rushed out of him which then transformed into a mighty storm, making everyone pale in the face.

The strength of the soul of Master Tongxin was extremely terrifying, and he had definitely cultivated the skills of the soul. It was no wonder he was good at peeking into the soul. Master Tongxin’s pupils transformed into vortexes. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on Gu Yuan’s head! Instantly, ripples appeared in the air. Everyone stared at Master Tongxin and Gu Yuan, and they could clearly see the separation of their souls and bodies.

Black Guardian smiled and said, “Ye Qingshan, it seems that peeking into his soul isn’t as difficult as you said.”

White Guardian also nodded and said, “In fact, I think we’re overdoing it a little.”

However, the moment his voice fell, Master Tongxin suddenly trembled violently. His pupils widened as if he had seen something that should not be seen. Immediately afterward, his pupils burst like light bulbs. Blood surged and filled the sky with a bloody mist. This sudden change made everyone panic. Their minds could not process what was happening at all.

Both Black Guardian and White Guardian were also staring at the scene before them in disbelief. Were their eyes deceiving them?

Black Guardian’s face sank slightly as he immediately shouted, “Master Tongxin, quickly tell us what you saw!”

“I… I saw…” Master Tongxin’s voice was hoarse. He stopped in the middle of his sentence as if something was caught in his throat. No words came out no matter how wide he opened his mouth. He garbled unintelligibly as blood started to overflow from his mouth. The scene was spectacular.

‘”Write it down,” said Black Guardian calmly.

Master Tongxin had just raised his hands when they, too, exploded up to his shoulders. He was instantly turned into minced meat with blood spraying everywhere. He could not hold on any longer and his whole body was split into half right from the top of his head.. Not only was his physical body damaged, but his Origins of Life has also shattered into a million pieces.
