Chapter 51: Ten Years (1)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Heavenly Path Sect was located in the center of the continent. It had the largest population, rich Spiritual Qi, and abundant Dragon Veins. Since ancient times, it had been one of the best places in the cultivation world.
And because it was the center of the entire continent, the Heavenly Path Sect established its sect there.
The Heavenly Path Sect governed two dynasties. It had a vast territory and a large population. It was the number one sect in the world in all aspects.
The Heavenly Path Sect had 99 mountains and 50,000 disciples. It was famous all over the world.
However, few people knew there was a small mountain range beyond the 99 peaks of the Heavenly Path Sect.
The mountain range was hidden outside the Heavenly Path Sect.
Hundreds of assassins raised by the Heavenly Path Sect lived there. The lowest among them was at the Venerable Plane, and they came from different races.
Some had submitted to the Heavenly Path Sect, some were threatened by the Heavenly Path Sect, and some were only cooperating with the Heavenly Path Sect.
The person in charge of that group of assassins was called Crow.
He was the number one assassin.
Crow rarely made a move. In the eyes of outsiders, he was just a manager who issued missions, communicated with the Heavenly Path Sect, and rewarded his subordinates.
In fact, Crow had been keeping a low profile over the years because there were no suitable targets for him to assassinate.
Most of the missions were completed by his subordinates, and Crow would quietly cultivate, climbing all the way to Ninth Heaven Great Venerable.
He was the best in the Heavenly Path Sect, except for the patriarchs who had stepped into Human World Pass and were in seclusion.
However, Crow never integrated into the Heavenly Path Sect.
He clearly knew that he was just a well-polished knife of the Heavenly Path Sect, hidden in its sheath and laid low.
Once it was unsheathed, blood would be spilled.
It was just like how he assassinated the Sect Leader of Yuhua Sect a month ago.
Crow was good at hiding. He assassinated Feng Baiyu with his power as a Ninth Heaven Great Venerable, and Feng Baiyu couldn’t avoid it. Crow took his heart and sent it to the Heavenly Path Sect to finish the job.
After that, Crow returned to that unknown mountain range and quietly cultivated.
Crow looked like a scholarly scholar. He was dressed in black, and his pupils were deep. Every day, he read books, raised birds, and cared for the flowers and plants he planted.
A carefree pastoral life in the countryside.
If he hadn’t announced that he was the number one assassin of the Heavenly Path Sect, no one would have thought of it.
On that day, after Crow watered his flowers, he suddenly felt uneasy.
His heart was in turmoil, and he felt a trace of danger.
One could gain some prophetic senses when one’s cultivation reached the Ninth Heaven Great Venerable and comprehended the Origin of the Path.
Unless the difference between the two planes was too great.
“Someone is here to kill me!” Crow’s gaze turned sharp, and the suppressed assassin’s nature burst forth, dispersing the scholar’s aura on him.
No matter how much he cultivated, no matter how carefree he was, he could not hide the murderous aura accumulated from the killings he had done half of his life.
Crow looked outside the courtyard.
A young man slowly walked over.
“You are indeed a genius to have entered the Great Venerable Plane at such a young age. However, who gave you the courage to come before me?” Crow coldly stared at the youth in front of him and said.
It was A’wei.
After leaving Yuhua Sect, he hurried to the Heavenly Path Sect. No one knew where Crow was, but A’wei knew.
With the confidence given by Li Qingshan, he immediately charged into the nameless mountain range.
“Are you Crow?” A’wei looked at Crow and asked in surprise.
“Yes, whose descendant are you? Are you here to take revenge on me?” Crow asked directly. He had walked in the darkness all his life and had killed countless people in the shadows. If someone came to find him, it must be for revenge.
Because Crow had no friends.
“I’m the disciple of Feng Baiyu, the Yuhua Sect Leader. You killed my Master, so I’m here to borrow something from you.” A’wei said.
“Heh, you’re the first person to borrow something from me. Don’t tell me you want to borrow my head?” Crow smiled disdainfully.
A’wei nodded seriously, “Congratulations. You’re right.”
“You’ve just entered the Great Venerable Plane. You might be a genius outside, but in front of me, do you believe I have nine ways to kill you?” Crow’s tone and expression were cold. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he stared at A’wei.
“Of course, I believe you, but your opponent today is it.” A’wei said.
A’wei took out a piece of paper.
He slowly opened it.
Boom!
A golden Buddha appeared from the paper. The feet of the Buddha were placed on top of its two legs, with the base of its feet facing the sky. It sat in meditation, and its hands formed a seal with its eyes closed.
Huge golden swastikas appeared all over its body, and the sound of chanting came from Heaven and Earth. The Sound of Buddha was deafening.
Crow’s murderous face was filled with fear. He looked in disbelief at the Buddha’s Golden Body that had come out of the paper.
“What is this?” Crow shouted angrily.
“Something that can kill you!” A’wei replied.
Li Qingshan wrote nine characters of ‘calm’ and a wisp of the Undying Holy Buddha’s spirit into the paper. With its release, it suppressed Crow of the Ninth Heaven Great Venerable.
The Buddha’s Smiling Flower Pinching Technique was extremely powerful. Its vast spirit spread in all directions, transforming into a cage that suppressed Crow.
Crow struggled to escape, but the power of the Undying Holy Buddha was not something he could withstand.
The Buddha held the cage in its palm and trapped Crow within.
The swastika that was around the Buddha entered Crow’s body. In an instant, his essence, spirit, and soul were burned.
It forcefully transformed Crow into Path!
A few breaths later, Crow’s face turned pale, his skin withered, and he looked extremely old. His eyes were filled with shock as he felt all the energy in his body drain away..
