Chapter 1499: Grey Parasol Sword Sect

Grey Parasol Sword Sect

The next morning, the forest had become a miracle.

Wind rose.

Wild wind.

Red leaves falling off the trees flowing along with the wind, and it almost dyed the entire City of Chaos red. What a unique scene in the world!

Nobody would spend one thousand years on some Iron Maples to create a view like this!

…

The trees almost became a strong wall. Tree trunks almost touched each other, densely covered the entire place.

Cha-Eun Xiao was thinking about building walls for the Hall of Life and Death…

Now he didn't need any walls!

Branches of the trees were dozens of feet thick, crossing each other, and the leaves on the trees made a perfect giant roof.

The trees crowded together as if nothing could get through the wall of trees, not even an ant.

There was only one opening where one might get into the forest.

Two giant Iron Maples, which were dozens of feet thick, standing on both sides of the opening like two giants guarding the entrance.

Cha-Eun Xiao, who was fully responsible for this miracle was doing the toilsome work by himself inside the woods.

This place had become the most important part of his great plan. It was safe and covert… He had to make it as good as he planned.

He wouldn't let others do this work, because any tiny mistake could ruin the plan, or even get him killed.

He did trust the Dark Evil Spirit and Bai Long, but they just knew too little about making array formations.

The forest had become a strong swarm of trees with huge branches and chunks, covering dozens of miles of land!

There were still some cracks that connected the inside to the outside, but they were closing up bit by bit.

He hadn't expected this. He didn't know that this mistake he made actually created such a splendid thing. He was confident that nobody in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, not even the five sky kings, could do what he had done!

'Five sky kings? Humph…' Cha-Eun Xiao twisted his mouth. 'Does any of them have the Water Space?'

'Does any of them have the Wood Space?'

'Does any of them have the Gold Space?'

'…'

'Does any of them have the Mountain of All Medicines?'

'They are way below my league…'

…

While he was working hard, he was murmuring, praising himself shamelessly, gloating about the Boundless Space he had.

The one thousand years old Iron Maples are rare things in the world, but the tree trunks weren't that tough. Cha-Eun Xiao was only at level three of the Faery Origin Stage, but he could cut the trees. It wasn't difficult to cut the trees, but it took him time to do it little by little. The problem was that there were too many to cut by himself!

He had sent Erhuo to check every important spot to make sure the tunnel he made was connecting the right places. Otherwise, he wasn't sure how to get it done correctly!

In the end, Cha-Eun Xiao had created one hundred and eight caves inside the swarm of trees. After that, he used the East-rising Purple Qi to connect the caves. In the end, he took out one hundred and eight pieces of Chaotic Purple Crystal that were as big as a human head and buried one piece of them into the floor of each cave!

In the middle of the entire forest, he buried a huge piece of Chaotic Purple Crystal to guard the entire area!

After the huge piece of Chaotic Purple Crystal was set, a special energy flow appeared between the sky and the earth, but then disappeared before anybody noticed it.

In fact, what Cha-Eun Xiao did was to set up the Great Formation of Stars, and it was perfectly finished.

Once the Great Formation of Stars was activated, as long as over half of the one hundred and eight caves were maintained undamaged, Cha-Eun Xiao was confident that even the Saint Origin Stage cultivators could never break this fabulous fortress of trees!

Even the branches of the trees were impossible to break!

The Great Formation of Stars was connected to the real stars in the sky by the East-rising Purple Qi and the incredible energy of the Chaotic Purple Crystal.

To break this fortress was as difficult as to break the stars in the sky!

Who on earth could do that?

Cha-Eun Xiao learned about this array formation from a book that he found from the fifth layer of the Mountain of All Medicines.

After he memorized the content of the entire book, he destroyed it.

'The Key to Great Array Formations!'

After he got this book, he became extremely confident, as if he could go anywhere he liked in the universe.

After he read the book, he had one thought in his head. 'Who is the author of this marvelous book? I will formally acknowledge him as my master if I meet him! He is awesome! It is hard to believe that there is actually such a capable man! He is like a god in the world!'

That was right. He thought the man was a god. That was how he worshiped the author!

When the Great Formation of Stars was activated, Cha-Eun Xiao casually took out a lot of small pieces of Chaotic Purple Crystal and set up some killing formation inside the Great Formation of Stars.

One's Death Formation, Two Dragons Slaughter Formation, Killing Strike of Three Men Formation, Four Elephants Smashing Formation, Five Striking Elements Formation, Six… There were ninety-nine murderous array formations…

All in all, he had planted all the array formations that could kill the invaders inside the fortress to keep himself safe.

If somebody came to break the great formations, when he was attacking one of them, the others would attack him at the same time!

The energy all came from the Chaotic Purple Crystal, the most expensive energy crystal in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!

If somebody saw through the formations and knew that they were driven by the Chaotic Purple Crystal, he might kneel and worship Cha-Eun Xiao as his master, begging Cha-Eun Xiao to give him a piece of the Chaotic Purple Crystal. 'Can you be more luxurious? I understand that you use the Chaotic Purple Crystal to build the array formation, but why do you use it to drive the formations? Do you even know how valuable the Chaotic Purple Crystal is?'

"I am weak. This is the only way I can think of to protect myself. It must be extravagant, but I have no choice." Cha-Eun Xiao found himself a good reason while he was working on the formations.

That was it, the most famous wonder in the world, the Primordial Destiny Trees Set was finished.

Cha-Eun Xiao was weak, ignorant, and inexperienced, so he didn't know how ridiculous this was. If he knew, he would punch himself to death.

It wasn't until many years after, he realized what he had just done!

The Chaotic Purple Crystal was an energy crystal that could automatically absorb the spiritual qi from the world and turn it into purple qi. It took a long time for the crystal to convert the energy, so the energy was always used up before the new purple qi was produced. Otherwise, it would be an incredible lasting energy source.

However, the Chaotic Purple Crystal Cha-Eun Xiao used in the formations were enhanced by his East-rising Purple Qi and were connected to the stars in the sky, so they became several times faster in absorbing energy. The crystals could even absorb energy from the stars in the sky. In other words, these were exactly some everlasting energy sources!

The price of a piece of Chaotic Purple Crystal was unbelievably high. A small piece of Chaotic Purple Crystal in the size of a human fist could be sold for the sum of all the five pieces of rare metals altogether!

What Cha-Eun Xiao did in these formations was burying thousands of billions of purple spirit coins into the ground!

In fact, that was not true! After all, that huge piece of Chaotic Purple Crystal was way much more expensive than the others!

Even the five sky kings would be shocked if they knew what this young man just did!

However, Cha-Eun Xiao didn't know. He had no idea.

Because of the stupid thing Cha-Eun Xiao did, these Iron Maples lived forever in the Human Realm Upon Heavens… As they grew even bigger, they became even more impossible to destroy…

These trees were all full of spiritual qi, so as the spiritual qi accumulated enough… something changed…

The swarm of Iron Maples eventually became one great Iron Maple!

Because of this Iron Maple, which was known as the Tree of the World, the elf clan appeared.

A new species appeared in the Human Realm Upon Heavens.

Well, that was a long time after the story…

It should be millions of years after this…

…

When Cha-Eun Xiao finished the formations, he made the last tunnel by himself which led to the Monarch's Hall. When he went out of the trees, the swarm of trees had become the most wonderful fortress of trees in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!

Staying inside this fortress should be absolutely safe!

Even though an army of a million men couldn't get anybody in the fortress!

However, Cha-Eun Xiao killed whoever in this fortress with just a thought in the head!

'I am weak, but my formation is powerful.' Cha-Eun Xiao thought. 'Mister Destiny is so right…'

The fortress of trees extended in all directions. Inside the fortress, it was all bright, because Cha-Eun Xiao put so many luminous pearls inside…

When Bu Xiangfeng finished his job and came back, the first thing he saw was this fortress of trees. As he entered the fortress, he was almost blinded by the lights and luxuriousness inside!

For the first time, he felt that he was working for the world's richest man!

Rich was not enough to describe this wealthy man.

"How did he do this? How on earth did he do this?" Bu Xiangfeng opened his mouth, stared around, and heard his own lower jaw falling off.

That was astonishing!

Within one night, the young master had turned the entire forest into a strong fortress of trees!

'This is… Even if this is an illusion, it is a marvelous illusion…'

"No, no, no. This is nothing. Don't mention it."

Cha-Eun Xiao politely smiled and waved one hand, and then a signboard was set over his head.

"The Hall of Life and Death!"

Words appeared on each of the giant trees on both sides of the entrance.

"Life and Death are separated here!"

"I will decide which stays!"

That was absolutely domineering!

Those were some powerful words!

Bu Xiangfeng saw it, and he couldn't stop his mouth twisting…

'Isn't that too early? I am not sure anybody will come, yet you have made such a scene here…'

'Do you really think you are a god of medicine? Do you think you can really bring the dead to life?'

…

The fortress of trees looked great, but the huge walls were still under construction. Cha-Eun Xiao had made up his mind. To make this place the headquarters of the Monarch's Hall, he must strengthen this place with the formations after the walls were finished.

This might be the beginning of his great journey to the top of the world!

The walls represented the face of the Monarch's Hall. If people could easily destroy them, it would be disgraceful. He had to make sure it wouldn't happen. After all, he had plenty of Chaotic Purple Crystal. Even if he didn't have that many Chaotic Purple Crystal, he could use the Golden Crystal or the Water Crystal. He had many of these things…

(Author: What do you think? I think Cha-Eun Xiao should be beaten up to death. This is unbelievable!)

…

Cha-Eun Xiao did not think that he would stay in this place for a long time.

He always just wanted to find his ladies and his brothers!

He wanted to travel the world with his beloved ones!

He had never thought that he would settle in the City of Chaos.

However, on the first day he arrived at this city, he felt affected by something strange in this city… Maybe it was the soul or just some thought…

Something was telling him to stay.

It was his destiny!

The special feeling hit him and followed him when he saw the illusion of the man in white clothes. He couldn't get rid of it, as if it was growing inside him.

Destiny was something one should follow. Everybody had a destiny, but people fulfilled their destiny in different ways. One could be supported by destiny, obey the destiny, fight against destiny, but nobody could destroy destiny. It was not something a man could choose. The only thing a man could do was to accept it or not!

The reason was the origin of destiny. Cha-Eun Xiao came to the City of Chaos, and that was the reason. He saw the man in white clothes, and that was another reason. What he was doing was the reason. It could be good for him and also could be not.

Under the effect of destiny, he chose to settle in this place, to make money, to recruit his men, to build the headquarters of his force… He even wanted to conquer the world!

Everything just happened as it happened. Suddenly, he had some feelings… He did what he had done only because he got help from the Boundless Space, the East-rising Purple Qi, and the Destiny Array Formations… He knew it, but he was still surprised about it. He just did what he had done.

It seemed there was a voice that kept resounding in his head.

"This is your place!"

"This is where you should stay!"

"This is your territory!"

…

In the City of Chaos, some native residents who lived close to the Monarch's Hall, who wanted to live a peaceful life, were all curious about what happened… They were all watching over at the moment…

They were too weak to find anything though.

Some guards who were hiding in the city wanted to investigate it, but their leaders stopped them.

"Why so curious? Just focus on your job and that is all!"

"The Human Realm Upon Heavens is a world beyond heavens! There are so many strange things in this world. Are you going to check them all out?"

"If you think you are idle, go lock yourselves up and meditate!"

"Or just keep cultivating!"

"Stop thinking about the investigation! Humph! If you die in the martial world, your curiosity must be the reason!"

Everybody was curious, not only the guards, but they also got scolded by their masters. They had to give up the idea and focus on their cultivation…

…

The Hall of Life and Death was ready. Cha-Eun Xiao could take patients now.

Well, there was one more thing he needed to do. He had the place, and he had the people, but he still needed something that could bring his patients back to life from death. Therefore, Cha-Eun Xiao started to urge Erhuo to make more supreme dan beads that were exclusive in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!

Erhuo didn't feel resistant at all. Cha-Eun Xiao had been improved greatly. For Erhuo, it was a good opportunity to digest the great amount of spiritual energy while making dan beads. That was why it wouldn't feel resistant at all! Instead, it would love to do it!

Everything was ready now. Fights could be heard all over the city. Erhuo sat on his chair and patiently waited for his customers.

…

However, before anybody came for treatments, trouble came first.

Was it the heaven's will to send somebody to make trouble for Cha-Eun Xiao, so that things wouldn't be too smooth for him?

…

"Qiu Luo!"

A shout cracked in the sky. Suddenly, a lot of glittering lights shined up. There were fourteen men who were flying over, and they accidentally saw Qiu Luo who was supervising the construction work of the walls.

That was why they shouted and landed around Qiu Luo.

Qiu Luo saw those men, and his eyes were quickly filled with hatred.

The fourteen men were all wearing grey robes with dark golden patterns on their sleeves. On each of their chests, there was the image of one white parasol trees with two swords on the root.

That image proved that these men were all disciples of the Grey Parasol Sword Sect!
