Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 406: Chapter 261: Catalog (First Update) _3

“Before, against Chen Pojun of Iron Heart Fortress, you only utilized the True Martial God of War, and summoned a shadowy stele from War God’s Atlas. But if you face Chen Tianjie, the Divine Martial Venerable of Iron Heart Fortress, he will surely call forth the true War God’s Atlas, and materialize the fifteenth stele, SLP!”

Finished speaking, Su Shaoqing looked at Xu Yang with some trepidation, “After the Millennium Calamity, it became an iron law of this world, that only the True Martial God of War can counter the True Martial God of War. Even if both are Divine Martial Venerables, if one possesses the War God’s Atlas and the other is empty-handed, the latter will surely lose to the former without a doubt.”

“So you’re saying that this War God’s Atlas is still a treasure for battle?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang felt bewildered.

It can produce Spiritual Objects, generate Spiritual Roots, enhance Cultivation, and be used in both offense and defense in battle.

Isn’t this thing… a bit too versatile?

While this perfectly fits its status as a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact, Xu Yang now had to face a problem, which was the difficulty of obtaining it.

Having been passed down to the present day, the forces in possession of such treasures, having continued to develop over so many years, how powerful must they be?

To snatch the War God’s Atlas from their hands, let alone plot to take over the Temple of War God and the Broken Void, is no simple matter.

The difficulty is high, the risk great.

But work with challenges isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

The greater the difficulty, the greater the reward!

Xu Yang smiled and then asked, “Where are these War God’s Atlases now?”

“This…”

Though it wasn’t much, from that smile and those words, Su Shaoqing could still hear an eagerness to try.

The Venerable Ancestor is truly worthy of being the Venerable Ancestor, already setting his sights on the War God’s Atlas!

Though those Divine Martial Venerables are terribly frightening, what kind of means does our own Venerable Ancestor not have?

What is there to fear!

Immediately, Su Shaoqing said, “Of the forty-nine War God Charts, except for the last one, the Broken Void still in the Temple of War God, all others have been taken out. During the Millennium Calamity, they established thirty-six powerful forces, divided between the Righteous and Evil Paths.”

“The Righteous Path is led by the Six Great Holy Lands, namely the Divine Martial Alliance, Overlord Gate, Freewheeling Peak, Mercy Sailing Temple, Purity Zen Sect, and Sword Sea Pavilion. Each of the Six Great Holy Lands holds two War God Charts, and the remaining forces of the Righteous Path hold one each.”

“The Evil Path is led by the Heavenly Demon Sect, with the Heavenly Demon itself holding five major charts, and the rest of the Side-Path Left Way and various Demon Sect branches each holding one.”

As Su Shaoqing narrated, he observed Xu Yang’s expression, especially when he mentioned “Mercy Sailing Temple” and “Purity Zen Sect,” fearing that the old names might anger the Venerable Ancestor.

As for Xu Yang, he showed little reaction.

Mercy Sailing Temple?

Purity Zen Sect?

While they have become a thing of the past, it doesn’t mean they can’t rise again.

No, they’re not dead ashes. Back then, he thoroughly destroyed the two sects, even the disciples and followers were all tortured to death by him; these things now have no bearing or, at most, very little relation to those of the past.

So why could they still rise from the ashes?

Because someone was replacing the people or the item, a stand-in.

It’s just like the perennially rebellious White Lotus sect; ever since its emergence, once every few decades, there would be an uprising under the White Lotus banner.

Are there really that many relentless followers of the White Lotus sect?

Of course not, it’s just that some people wanted to use the name “White Lotus” for themselves.

As long as there’s a rebellion, everyone is White Lotus!

By the same token, if anyone wants to oppose Xu Yang, then everyone might be Mercy Sailing Temple, Purity Zen Sect, or the Three sects Doctrines—it’s just a name. Unless you kill everyone in the world, you can’t prevent them from resurfacing.

Compared to these trivial matters, Xu Yang was more concerned, “The Heavenly Demon Sect alone possesses five grand War God Charts?”

“Correct!”

Su Shaoqing nodded, “But the Righteous Path has the Six Great Holy Lands, and though not of the same family, their relationship is very close. When facing the Demon Sect, they advance and retreat together. Moreover, the number of War God Charts held by the Righteous Path is overall greater than that of the Evil Path, so the Demon Sect has always been at a disadvantage. A thousand years ago, there was even news that their Sect Hierarch, the Heavenly Demon God Monarch Leng Aotian, went missing, and now it’s all maintained by the dual envoys.”

“Heavenly Demon God Monarch, Leng Aotian?”

Xu Yang’s eyebrow raised with interest, “How is this person’s strength?”

Su Shaoqing said gravely, “Ranked first on the Divine Martial List, the Jiazi Storm Battle, the top demon in the world!”

“Divine Martial List?”

“The top demon in the world?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang was also taken aback, “The Divine Martial List from those days, the Jiazi Battle?”

“Yes.”

At this, Su Shaoqing’s face also showed a wry smile, “Indeed, it’s the ranking list of Divine Martial warriors you established back then, Venerable Ancestor. The Jiazi Storm Battle has continued to this day and is publicly acknowledged by the world!”

Xu Yang: “…”
