Chapter 334: Chapter 192: Qingyu, Junior Brother, Ye Shan

The disciples of the Profound Pure Sect stared intently at the figure in the sky, which was approaching from the distance.

Though they knew the oncoming pressure was so heavy it was suffocating, a sliver of wishful thinking still struggled to life in their hearts.

’Maybe his aura is just a bit frightening?’ someone desperately tried to convince themselves.

’He can’t really be a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch, right? He’s probably a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator.’

To Middle Low Tier disciples like them, it was difficult to distinguish the level of intimidation between a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch and a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Power.

They were both terrifying. It was all the same.

After all, the Immortal Ancient Cultivation Realm had strict rules: Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarchs were not to act lightly.

Back during the Ye Shan Secret Realm incident, even after four of the Ten Major Sects were brutally retaliated against by the Profound Pure Sect, they still hadn’t sent out Divinity Transformation Cultivators to intervene.

In the Cultivation Realm, the rules governing conflicts between Cultivators below the Divinity Transformation Stage weren’t that strict.

But once a fight involved those at the Divinity Transformation Stage, the destructive power was too great. If left unchecked, it could affect the development of the entire Cultivation Realm.

Therefore, the major powers all kept an eye on one another, and no one dared to act recklessly. If things truly got out of hand, the transcendent Upper Three Sects were there to oversee everything, so almost no one would break this rule.

It was precisely because they understood the rules of the Cultivation Realm that the disciples of the Profound Pure Sect held onto this sliver of hope, praying that the person in the sky was not a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch.

However, this thought had just surfaced when it was utterly shattered by the Elders’ shocked and distorted cries.

"Is that... Wuya Daoist Monarch?"

The moment the name "Wuya Daoist Monarch" was spoken, the last trace of color drained from the disciples’ faces, which were already pale with fear.

After recognizing the man’s identity, however, some of the Elders showed looks of incredulous confusion.

"But why would Wuya Daoist Monarch come here? Could it be that he also blames our Profound Pure Sect for that monstrous disaster?"

An Elder spoke out in bewilderment, his voice thick with confusion.

"That shouldn’t be right. What Cultivator in this world doesn’t know that Wuya Daoist Monarch is supremely righteous and compassionate? He is upright and honorable, always acts with reason, and is certainly not the type to blame the innocent without distinguishing right from wrong."

As soon as this was said, many disciples also snapped out of their initial, extreme terror as they recalled this Daoist Monarch’s reputation.

There were many Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarchs in the Cultivation Realm. In the Eastern Domain alone, not counting those from the Ten Major Sects, there were over a hundred.

But Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarchs had always acted with a low profile, and few had truly made a name for themselves in the Cultivation Realm.

Wuya Daoist Monarch, however, was a legend among those few.

First, he came from the ranks of Loose Cultivators.

A Loose Cultivator with no Sect to rely on, he had carved a path for himself through sheer will, eventually stepping into the Divinity Transformation Realm. This in itself was a living legend.

However, what truly made Wuya Daoist Monarch’s name renowned was not just this feat, but his noble character, which was praised by all.

He was like the Ranger Heroes of mortal tales; he would always step in to right any injustice he saw.

He once rushed ten thousand li to save a group of Low Tier Cultivators besieged by Great Demons, scattering the fiends in a single battle. He had also charged into an Evil Cultivator’s den alone to rescue innocent mortal girls who had been abducted.

He never bullied the weak with his strength; instead, he was most compassionate towards them. If he saw a junior with mediocre aptitude who nonetheless trained diligently, he would often stop and patiently offer some guidance.

He would even casually explain the Dao and resolve doubts for Cultivators he happened to meet in forests or city teahouses, never stingy with sharing his Cultivation Insights.

People who had received his guidance and grace were scattered in every corner of the world.

Even more widely told was the story of him and his Dao Companion.

His Dao Companion was not a peerless beauty capable of toppling nations, but the two were deeply in love, having supported each other for over two thousand years.

Wuya Daoist Monarch had always been faithful to his Dao Companion, and there had never been any rumors of romantic scandals.

They roamed the world hand in hand like a celestial couple. This sincere bond was envied by many in the Cultivation Realm and became a celebrated tale.

Such a Daoist Monarch—chivalrous, benevolent, and devoted, a man who acted with integrity and was deeply admired.

How could he possibly act so unreasonably, pinning a baseless, monstrous crime on the Profound Pure Sect and even showing up at their gates without asking for the facts?

The disciples of the Profound Pure Sect were utterly baffled.

They stared at the figure in the sky, which grew clearer and clearer as its oppressive might intensified, their eyes filled with a mixture of shock, uncertainty, and deep confusion.

Because of Wuya Daoist Monarch’s reputation, some disciples even began to wonder, ’Could it be that the Sect was actually in the wrong?’

Just as everyone was feeling confused, Wuya Daoist Monarch’s figure arrived outside the Profound Pure Sect’s main gate.

However, after appearing, he did not attack. Instead, he stood there silently, as if waiting for something.

Soon, the figure of Supreme Elder Zi Yun appeared. After he arrived, he was just about to raise his hands to salute Wuya Daoist Monarch.

But before he could act, Wuya Daoist Monarch opposite him waved a hand to interrupt, speaking in a strange tone:

"Fellow Daoist of the Profound Pure Sect, there is no need for salutes. After all, I have come today with malicious intent. I am not worthy of such courtesy."

His voice wasn’t loud, yet it carried a profound power that spread directly throughout the entire Profound Pure Sect’s mountain gate.

Hearing Wuya Daoist Monarch’s words, the hearts of the Profound Pure Sect disciples plummeted. The last shred of hope they clung to was completely extinguished.

Many despaired inwardly, staring at Wuya Daoist Monarch in the void with ashen faces. ’Is the Sect truly going to meet its end today?’

That was a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch.

More importantly, Wuya Daoist Monarch was no ordinary Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch—he possessed the cultivation of the Divinity Transformation Middle Stage.
