CHAPTER 59: CHAPTER 22: THE SECRET OF THE CHARACTER ’XING’! WANG QUAN BAYE (THANKS FOR THE 10,000 REWARDS)

Suddenly, a group notification rang in Hongmeng’s mind.

DING. "Congratulations to the group leader for exterminating the Alien Demons and completing the task. Reward: 10,000 points."

This was a prompt that only Hongmeng, as the group leader, could hear.

10,000 points, better than nothing!

Hongmeng didn’t care much. He then modified the task completion notice before sending it to the group:

DING. "Congratulations to group members, Dominator of the Underworld Association and Soul Hall Saint Girl, for completing the group task. Reward: secret technique—Moving Technique Secret."

The Moving Technique Secret was something he had found through a divine sense search within Ye Xuan’s soul when he killed him. It was perfect to reward Xiong Ba and Bibi Dong. In this task, his role was actually similar to that of a contractor. No matter which group member completed the task, the rewards would ultimately go to him, and he would then distribute them to the group members. As for what he distributed, it depended entirely on his mood. After all, the tasks that the group members could see were all modified by him before being sent out. The rewards, naturally, were at his discretion. The Moving Technique Secret was very precious to ordinary Martial Artists, but it meant little to him. The Moving Technique Secret, cultivated to the extreme, simply granted mastery over the Rule of Time. He was already in command of the Dao.

However, the group members were excited.

Upper God’s Dog Son: "Wow, congratulations to Sister Bi and Leader Xiong! This is one of the Nine Secrets of the Sky-Blocking, the Moving Technique Secret—a very terrifying secret technique."

Upper God’s Dog Son: "The divine skill that the Alien Demon used to flee as a beam of light should be the Moving Technique Secret."

The Lord of Great Qin: "Is the Moving Technique Secret really that strong? It didn’t seem to have much power in front of my God!"

Upper God’s Dog Son: "My God is the supreme God of Hongmeng. Can you even compare?"

Huashan Sect Master: "Right, but what exactly is the power of the Moving Technique Secret?"

Cloud Mist Sect Master: "Curious.jpg."

Tushan’s Second Master: "Curious +1"

Upper God’s Dog Son: "This Moving Technique Secret was created by the Free and Easy Heavenly Venerate of the Covering The Sky World. It represents the ultimate freedom of movement in this realm. Not only does it boast the fastest speed in the world, but it can also allow one to leap to the nine heavens and pass through the nine nethers, reaching any place."

Upper God’s Dog Son: "The Free and Easy Heavenly Venerate is a terrifyingly powerful being, capable of shattering the starry river with a wave of his hand. He is the Ancient Great Emperor I’ve told you about before!"

Tushan’s Second Master: "Wow, shedding tears of envy!"

Upper God’s Dog Son: "Isn’t it drool?"

Tushan’s Second Master: "Get lost!"

Soul Hall Saint Girl: "Everyone, work hard to spread the faith for our God. With Cultivation Techniques and martial skills, will there be any shortage?"

The Descendant of the Great Yan Royal Family: "Goddess Bi speaks the truth! Worship our God, work hard to spread the faith!"

The Lord of Great Qin: "Goddess Bi speaks the truth! Worship our God, work hard to spread the faith!"

Dominator of the Underworld Association: "@God of Hongmeng, I thank our God, the great God of Hongmeng. I wish to conduct a heavenly offering and ascend to emperorship seven days from now, offering a national sacrifice to our God. I wonder if that would be acceptable?"

Xiong Ba suddenly popped up, instantly rendering the group silent. A hush fell over the members.

All members went quiet.

It was the first time someone had tagged Hongmeng directly.

It had to be said, Xiong Ba had some nerve.

After knowing that Hongmeng was the supreme God of Hongmeng, they didn’t dare to tag him directly.

They consciously refrained from disturbing him and didn’t dare to.

In the Fengyun World, inside the Imperial Palace, Xiong Ba was also nervous, his heart unsettled.

I wonder if the Upper God will hold this against me. But with so many experts needing a blood sacrifice, and the bodies of the Alien Demons... though they can be preserved in ice, it wouldn’t be good to keep them for too long.

So, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask.

Seeing the message, Hongmeng naturally had no reason to refuse.

He was quite looking forward to Xiong Ba’s sacrifice.

When I killed Ye Xuan, I faintly sensed a System within the other party. With Ye Xuan’s death, the System Origin didn’t escape but lay dormant within Ye Xuan’s body. Once Xiong Ba conducts the sacrifice, it’s very possible that the System Origin will amplify into a treasure beyond imagination. I hope Xiong Ba conducts the sacrifice sooner rather than later. But I can’t drop my pretentious demeanor. Besides, it’s only a week. I can wait.

God of Hongmeng: "Permitted."

Dominator of the Underworld Association: "I thank our God!"

Xiong Ba breathed a sigh of relief. The Sacrificial Method dictated a sacrifice every three months under normal circumstances, but exceptions were made for special events or important occasions.

Offering the Alien Demons as a sacrifice to the Upper God and his ascension to emperorship both counted as important events.

So, he dared to ask.

With Hongmeng’s approval, Xiong Ba immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony and the coronation.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong returned to the Douluo World, but she would still come back to join the sacrifice to the Upper God on the day Xiong Ba ascended to emperorship.

She had been invited by Xiong Ba.

With a chance to benefit, Bibi Dong naturally didn’t reject. Although she had no credit this time, she had put in hard work.

Inside the chat group, seeing that Hongmeng was no longer speaking, the group members became active again.

Tushan’s Second Master: "I am in Tushan, everything is ready for the sacrifice tomorrow. Welcome to watch."

Upper God’s Dog Son: "Sneaky Rongrong is online! Tomorrow, she’s live-streaming offering her sister to prove the Dao!"

Tushan’s Second Master: "Dog Son, why don’t you just curl up into a ball and roll away?"

Soul Hall Saint Girl: "Sister Rongrong is going to perform the sacrifice? I’m looking forward to it!"

Cloud Mist Sect Master: "Looking forward to it!"

Tushan’s Second Master: "Sister Yun, how are your preparations?"

Cloud Mist Sect Master: "I have now subdued the Gamma Empire and the Snake race and established the Hongmeng Divine Sect. Queen Medusa has witnessed the grandeur of my God and willingly offers herself for sacrifice. I will sacrifice to my God once I subdue the surrounding empires!"

Tushan’s Second Master: "Sister Yun is impressive!"

...

「Fox Demon World.」

Tushan Rongrong stood at the summit of Tushan’s back mountain, her small eyes squinting. Her gaze was distant, looking over the vast and magnificent landscape ahead.

Tushan Honghong stood by her side in a red dress. Her figure was graceful, lean, and tall. Her golden-tangerine, waist-length hair was tied at the ends with red butterfly knots adorned with dangling bells.

On the sides of her dress, at the waist, there were also two red butterfly knots with bells.

Her features were exquisite and flawless. Her delicate, lovely bare feet stepped on the grass, adorned with golden anklets fitted with bells.

"The forces of the world are converging on Tushan; experts from both the Human Race and Demon Race have arrived. Whether it’s a blessing or a curse, who knows!"

Tushan Honghong’s crimson eyes emotionlessly gazed into the distance. She could faintly sense powerful auras lurking around Tushan.

There were experts from the Human Race.

There were also experts from the Demon Race.

For this sacrifice, to spread the faith of the Upper God faster, they had invited the major forces of the Human-Demon Fishes to witness the occasion.

However, in this day and age, the relationship between Humans and Demons was as incompatible as fire and water.

Even though Tushan Fox Demons, as Immortal Hongxian, do not shun the Human Race and can rekindle the love of couples from the Human Race and Demon Race from their past lives, holding a special position within both Human-Demon Fishes.

Most Humans still harbored hostility towards Tushan Fox Demons simply because they were part of the Demon Race.

Therefore, most Human forces ignored their invitation, and many experts also paid it no heed.

But Tushan Rongrong had borrowed a page from Yue Buqun’s book.

In the invitation, she told the forces and experts from the Human-Demon Fishes that Tushan had found a powerful force that could change the world’s landscape.

This force could change heaven and earth, and even transcend the cycle of life and death.

Once this message came out, it was like a bomb dropped into deep water, causing huge ripples.

The previously disdainful experts from the Human-Demon Fishes couldn’t sit still anymore.

Regardless of whether it was true or false, they had to investigate.

If it were true, this power had to be in their own hands.

In a flash, forces stirred from all directions. Powerful figures such as Huandu Qingtian, Poison Emperor of the Southern Kingdom; Northern Mountain Demon Emperor Shi Kuan; Fan Yunfei, Prince of the Sand Fox clan from the Xixi Region; the great World Houses of the One Qi Daoist Alliance; and the Dongfang Spirit Clan of Divine Fire Manor arrived.

All the experts from the Human-Demon Fishes came to Tushan, whether openly or in secret.

At this moment, high in the clouds outside Tushan, a group of people had gathered.

This group wore various strange masks.

Leading them was a man wearing a comically childish mask. He was dressed in a white outer robe, a gray middle layer, and a white inner layer, standing atop a flying sword.

He was Wang Quan Baye, the contemporary successor of the Wang Quan Family—known as the ’Heaven and Earth Sword’—which was part of the One Qi Daoist Alliance, one of the strongest forces of the Human Race.

Unwilling to spend his life burdened by the legacy of the Wang Quan Family, he had secretly established an organization called "The Mask" with other outstanding youths from various prominent families. They operated under codenames, and his was ’Mr. Sword’.

"Boss, do you think there really is a power in this world that can change heaven and earth, and transcend life and death?"

Next to Wang Quan Baye, a man wearing a half-white mask stood on a gourd-shaped Magic Treasure, looking curiously at Tushan.

He was Li Zizai, the eldest son of the Li family from Taoyuan, codenamed ’Wandering Blade Monarch.’ His movement skills were peerless. He nourished Chaos Qi using his innate Spiritual Treasure, the Chaos Purple Gold Gourd.

Within the gourd, he nurtured a Wandering Blade capable of myriad transformations and endless marvels. It could take a person’s head from a thousand li away as easily as reaching into a pocket.

"Humans and demons can reincarnate and continue their love stories. It’s not impossible that powers exist in this world capable of transcending the cycle of life and death!"

Wang Quan Baye’s eyes were sharp. He looked towards the horizon, his gaze profound as he said thoughtfully, "This world is like it’s wearing a mask, hiding many secrets we don’t know, such as what lies beyond the circle."

"Hence, we established ’The Mask’ organization, to unveil this world’s ’mask.’ Whether such power exists, it will all be clear tomorrow!"

"The boss is absolutely right!" another man with a red-and-white mask echoed.

He was Li Qizhuo, the second son of the Li family from Taoyuan, codenamed ’Child of Providence.’ Exceptionally bright from a young age, he had insight into the secrets of all Magic Treasures in the world!

If he had presented his creations within the One Qi Daoist Alliance, he would have long been recognized as a grandmaster of Magic Treasure refinement.

However, he had high standards and would only bestow the Magic Treasures he crafted upon those he deemed worthy.

Nearly all Magic Treasures used by the members of "The Mask" were either crafted or modified by him.

A power that can change heaven and earth, and transcend the cycle of life and death?

I truly can’t wait for tomorrow to come!

All the members of "The Mask" looked towards Tushan with intense anticipation in their eyes.

It wasn’t just them; experts from the most mysterious Aolai Country had also arrived.

Second Miss Liu Er of Aolai Country, and even the Third Young Master of Aolai Country—a figure whose combat power could be considered the peak in this world—were also secretly observing Tushan.
