282 THE COMMOTION

The sudden appearance of someone breaking into the Qi King wouldn’t cause a huge commotion in a place like the Taiwan mountains. But the phenomena signified that the law which the newcomer had connected to was a Heavenly Law. Due to the strange landscape and geological features, the Qi within the Taiwan mountain was quite unstable and hence people couldn’t identify whether a single law was connected to or was a double law encountered.

The very appearance of a new QI King who connected with heavenly laws was a piece of huge news. Every force which has been hiding in the dark rush out to recruit talent like that. A Heavenly law user would be an incredible addition to the overall power of any force present within the Taiwan mountain.

The division of forces within the Taiwan mountains signified that the leader of every major group was an advance, QI King, while the more powerful forces had a QI Emperor supporting them. The fact to be remembered was that even though there were Qi Emperors within the range, most of them had only connected with Earthen laws, limiting their future in the path of cultivation.

People who had connected with earthen laws could at most rise to the level of QI Monarch but no higher than that. The number of resources required to boost someone with earthen laws to a level higher than that required a monstrous number of resources. The other factor to take into account was the speed of cultivation.

Earthen law users are significantly slower than those who managed to connect with Heavenly laws in rising through the realms of cultivation. All these factors made the appearance of a new Qi King with Heavenly law a huge factor on who is going to get stronger. Any force that manages to obtain the support of this new variable might rise through the ranks.

While the Bandit groups in the area were busy getting elated, the groups within the city limit couldn’t help but get worried. The cultivator seems to have broken through the Qi King realm within the Taiwan mountains. It most likely signified that he was a part or at least an acquaintance of one of the forces which reside within the Taiwan mountains.

What was more disturbing was the fact that the phenomena occurred within the eastern borders of the Taiwan mountains, which was predominantly populated by bandits’ groups. Those powerful forces within the central plains were present within the middle areas. This meant that a great threat might have just appeared within the Taiwan mountains.

“We need to move out now” One of the representatives present within the independent association’s hall spoke up. “This event might signify that a great threat has just appeared within the Taiwan mountain range. We couldn’t let this threat grow or the forces within the city will be incurring huge losses.”

“Why are you so sure that it is a threat. It could also be the disciple of some just factions or even a very talented independent cultivator who just seems to have chosen the Taiwan mountains as his place for the breakthrough.”

.....

“In either case, we have to understand the fact that a variable has just appeared. It would be the best-case scenario if he doesn’t belong to any bandit group. Yet we still should make haste. If he isn’t part of a bandit group, they would still try to recruit a powerful cultivator like him. We can’t let such a talented individual fall into the hands of bandits.”

“Even if he is of the right mind, they would just end up ganging up on him and eliminating him for good. We can’t let either of the situations happen.”

“And if the worst-case scenarios are to occur?” Another person within the assembly asked.

“We need to decide among ourselves how to tackle the situation.” The man replied.

“How about we capture him and make him one of us after an adequate amount of discipline being inflicted upon him.” One of the other representatives asked.

“You just want to steal the guy for your faction.” Another leader protested from the side.

“We can’t fight within ourselves during such a critical time. We need to take care of the enemies first. I suggest we should just kill him.” The man spoke up.

“Let’s capture him.” For the first time today, the vice-leader who had been sitting silently spoke up. “All the allied forces are to send an equal amount of talented Qi King practitioners who should be at least within the intermediate QI King level. Beginner Qi Kings are just going to be a hurdle in the path.”

“I also request all of you to appoint an advance Qi King as the leaders of their platoons. This time we are going for a serious venture within the Taiwan mountains. Our main objective is to eliminate as many bandit groups as possible. The New QI King practitioner is just the secondary objective.”

“I request for the representatives to follow me to the inner room.” The vice-leader got up and guided the rest of the group to the war room of the independent cultivator’s association. “I want you to relay the information to be supplied to you. Ask them to make their decision as soon as possible because we can no longer delay our plans.”

A huge map was present within the central table and multiple routes and marks were present on it. The whole eastern borders were depicted with every possible route which was known to the city forces.

“After a long analysis, our experts have managed to certify the route to be taken. We will be starting the operation within 2 days. Ask your leaders to gather as many forces as they can within the two days. We will be leaving by then.”

The representative was handed an individual letter to be delivered to their leaders. After the group left, the only person remaining was the vice-leader. He was waiting for the black-hooded man to appear.

“Sir, I know you are here. Could you please make an appearance?”

“You are getting more intuitive after the last advancement in strength.”

“It all thanks to your guidance sir. Could you please tell me if the route selected was the right one?”

“Are you challenging my decision?” The guy sounded displeased.

“I wouldn’t dare sir. All I want to confirm is that this time we will get those bastards and get them to pay for their deeds until now.” The vice-leader was quick to reply.

“Don’t forget your main objective. I gave you the strength you have now so that you could get me the location where the bastard is.” The man in the hood said.

“I will capture him for you. I would even kill him if you want me to.” The vice-leader spoke up.

“Kill him.” A low chuckle was heard from the hooded man. “You and your group of jokers would be lucky enough to come back alive after you manage to spot me. If he did manage to notice you, none of you is going to come back alive.” The vice leader looked surprised.

“What do you mean by that sir?” The vice-leader asked.

“The man you are searching for is possibly the best disciple of one of the top-ranking powers of central plains. You think you could just kill him.” The hooded man said. The vice-leader was flabbergasted upon hearing this revelation. He was beginning to regret his decision to accept the hood’s proposal.

“Regretting your decision, are you?” The Hood said with a sarcastic voice. “It wouldn’t change the situation you are in. If I didn’t get results within the scheduled time, I will not only eliminate you but your entire independent cultivator organisation.”

The vice leader’s back was covered with sweat. He had managed to climb up to the peak of Qi King level due to the hood’s help and hence can no longer ignore his proposal. Even with that advancement he still couldn’t feel the hood’s strength, which meant that he was much more powerful than him. He had to go through with the plan. If only the leader was here.

..........

The cave-

The seclusion ended soon and the avatar managed to absorb most of the blessing and his cultivation base grew by a lot. To Long Tao’s surprise, the avatar’s strength grew to a similar level as Li Meng. Even the Keeper who managed one of the most powerful artefacts of the world was surprised by this phenomenon.

The origin avatar’s art not only managed to imbue the laws practised by one avatar into other but also managed to induce a similar level of power to both of them.

“We need to do a more detailed investigation on this topic. This art is too unbelievable. We need to experiment more on this art’s origin.”

“Wouldn’t this mean that I wouldn’t need to train at all in the Qi King realm?” Long Tao spoke in a surprised tone.

“Why would that be?” The Keeper was confused.

“When every single of my avatar breakthrough the Qi King level, I would have enough law energy to reach the very peak of QI King level. Why would I need to train then?” The Keeper understood Long Tao’s logic. ” You should concentrate on gaining battle experience at the Qi King level. That would help in consolidating your cultivation base.”
