Shadow Hack

Chapter 490 Cant Cover a Fire with Paper

Origin God Sect’s upper echelons were truly startled.

Even if Yuan Biyao tried to clear Li Yunmu’s mess as much as possible, the resources prepared for several people to attack the chest sea and abdomen sea main points had been exhausted by him alone. The guards didn’t dare to conceal such an important matter and quietly reported to their superiors at first opportunity.

By the time Yuan Biyao hurried to the cultivation holy land of navel star point, the upper echelons of Origin God Sect had also went there.

"Why have you all come?"

When Yuan Biyao saw three elders of Origin God Sect along with a royal uncle who represented the Yuan Imperial Clan arriving personally, her expression immediately turned dark.

Regardless of what methods she used to retaliate against Li Yunmu, she would never allow outsiders to get involved. She ruthlessly looked at the two guards following behind the elders.

"Princess, we heard that a situation has occurred in the holy land of the three main flux points. I represent the sect master in investigating this, so I will trouble you to go easy on us," the leader of the three elders said to Yuan Biyao in an extremely polite tone. Yet he didn’t show any intention of withdrawing.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to give the princess face, but that the situation reported by the guards was too important to the Origin God Sect.

Who was this person who could absorb the flux energy resources prepared for more than ten people?

If the Origin God Sect couldn’t even find the truth about this, then how could they talk about ruling the entire Origin God World?

"Young Yao, I heard that this man is someone you brought from the outside?"

Compared to the polite tone of the elder, Yuan Biyao’s royal uncle who had also rushed over with them wasn’t very polite and directly enquired about what interested him.

But even though he was her elder and belonged to the same family, his tone was still filled with respect toward his niece.

"So what? Royal uncle and you seniors, I hope that you won’t get involved in this matter. Only I alone am enough to deal with this matter. He isn’t affiliated to any person and isn’t anyone’s subordinate," Yuan Biyao said, trying to force them back with an ugly expression.

"We’re sorry, but this is a command given by the sect master. Be at ease princess—we only want to find out what happened and won’t make much contact with your people. Moreover, this matter won’t be a bad thing for him," the leader of the three elders said. While he spoke, another elder revealed the investigation command with the seal of the sect master himself.

After Yuan Biyao saw this, a hint of hesitation finally appeared on her face. She could’ve never anticipated that this fiend Li Yunmu would surprisingly attract the attention of the upper echelons of Origin God Sect just by cultivating a flux point. If that wasn’t enough, he had even disturbed Origin God Sect’s sect master.

What sort of character was the sect master?

He was a person who stood at the top of all the cultivators in the Origin God World and could determine their fate with one sentence.

In the Origin God World, there were two types of power. The Origin God Sect ruled over the cultivators while Imperial Yuan Clan were the royalty which ruled over the countless people in their world. The two powers were intertwined and kept each other in control.

They determined the future of the Origin God World, and neither of them could ignore the other.

If the Origin God Sect used the power of the sect to force Yuan Imperial Clan, they would lose the support of the people of the entire world and lose the right to reign over them. It was even possible that many cultivators might also turn into their enemies.

This was because Yuan Imperial Clan possessed enormous influence as well as deeply rooted foundation in the Origin God World. That was why under ordinary circumstances, even the upper echelons of Origin God Sect would take the initiative to yield in front of Imperial Yuan Clan.

But this time, the situation was a lot different. If the sect master of the Origin God Sect gave a command and Yuan Biyao publicly refuted it, then the consequences of this couldn’t even be imagined.

Royal Uncle became anxious upon seeing that the matter was getting out of hand and said in hopes to make her choose the right thing, "Yaoyao, they only want to understand the situation and hadn’t come to catch people."

"Alright, but he hasn’t come out yet. All the matters need to wait until he is finished with his cultivation."

After those words, Yuan Biyao stepped aside and opened the path to navel star point leaf. She took the initiative to enter the cultivation holy land with Yingying in tow.

When the elders saw Yingying, the little maid walking in front of them, their eyebrows jumped simultaneously as if confronting this maid was even more terrifying than confronting Yuan Biyao.

All of them entered the navel star point’s leaf one after another. Soon, their gazes were attracted by the enormous core of the sea devil beast in midair.

At that moment, the core floating in the air above the spell formation in the cultivation holy land was emitting waves of blue light similar to a gas flame, and the entire core appeared to be translucent.

After careful observation, they could vaguely see a strong male figure sitting cross-legged inside with his eyes closed and absorbing the rich energy in the core.

"How long has it been since he came here?" one elder suddenly asked.

"Quite a while has passed, more than nine hours..."the two guards who had been guarding the navel star point all along promptly replied.

"Then we wait until he is finished with his cultivation."

The three elders looked at each other then at Yuan Biyao who still had an ugly expression on her face and instantly sensed a headache. They walked to the side and sat down crossed to wait.

However, while they were waiting, they gradually began to feel that something was odd about the situation.

"Hey... how long has it been?" after a long while one of the elders asked again.

"Eh, it has been more than twelve hours now," one of the two guards who hadn’t dared to leave during the whole event and was waiting by the side replied quickly.

"Seems like something is really fishy here. I remember cultivating the navel star point as a flux expert, and I don’t think it took me so long," one of the elders said, unable to understand what was happening.

Chest sea main point and abdomen sea main points were the front two points each of which was united with a cluster of flux points in the vicinity. But navel star point was very different—it was an independent flux point.

The movement and storage of flux energy in this independent flux point wasn’t influenced by other flux points. In other words, it was like a reserve pool of flux energy for the flux experts.

Even if all of their flux energy was exhausted, as long as their navel star point existed, their strength wouldn’t be completely gone. It would allowed them to not give the enemy the chance to take advantage of their weakness.

Similarly, it also ensured that after a flux expert had used their fatal move and erupted with a powerful attack, they would possess power to be used as a reserve.

After cultivating this point, flux experts could use it as a secondary source of flux energy, avoiding the situation in which they couldn’t protect themselves against the enemy.

Because of that, cultivators who hadn’t cultivated the final three flux points would remain eternally unable to surpass the cultivators at the true great circle in terms of battle prowess.
