His words echoed inside Fang Chengzhi's brain like a thunderous bell.
But before he was back to himself from the shock, he heard a shriek that was even more shrieking, furious, and crazy not far away from the Angry Fire Valley.
"The Federation! Li Yao! What a sinister method! What a vicious heart! "
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when a streak of green brilliance rose from the ground and lunged at the dozens of starships floating in the sky. Fang Chengzhi observed carefully. Surrounded by the green brilliance, he discovered that it was an otherworldly, noble, and beautiful saintess in a green dress.
Even though she was filled with resentment and looked like a crazy demon, her perfect face still made one's heart skip a beat.
"She seems to be … 'Nimble Fairy' Murong Ling, the leader of the four fairies of the Hundred Crane State. Why is she so crazy?"
Fang Chengzhi was an elegant man. Naturally, he knew the 'Four Princes' and 'Four Fairies' of the major sects like the back of his hand.
That "Exquisite Immortal" Murong Ling's cultivation was quite profound, and seemed to be slightly higher than his. In a short moment, she had already flown several hundred zhang into the air. Three or four Exquisite Magic Swords were rapidly revolving around her body, surging with thunderous roars. "My father is the leader of the Righteous Path in the Hundred Crane Province. For the past hundred years, he has eliminated demons and defended the Righteous Path, maintaining order in a region without the slightest mistake. The great name 'Single Sword of the Southern Sky' resounds like thunder, who doesn't know of it? Right now, he has only slaughtered a couple of villages of rioters, and you have just executed him for no reason? I don't accept it. I, Murong Ling, do not accept it!
"Those rioters asked for it. Who asked them to rob the food of the Murong family? To rob a granary in broad daylight was to be a bandit, a bandit, a heinous robber! Flatten the bandits' nest and annihilate all the bandits. This is a peaceful place. What's wrong with maintaining order? What's wrong with that? "
Murong Ling's exclamation attracted a lot of Cultivators from the Ancient Sages Sector to gather in the valley. They all looked at the sky in bewilderment.
The starships of the Federation in the sky, however, did not react at all. They were still silent, as if they were rendered speechless by Murong Ling's words and did not dare to refute her 'reasoning'.
Murong Ling was getting more and more excited. Her hair was disheveled, and she laughed out loud. "What Xing Yao Federation? What Vulture Li Yao? Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. You're just looking for an excuse to kill my father and steal my Murong family's property. Who doesn't know that my Murong family owns thirty percent of the spirit fields and mines in Bai He Province? Now, they're all in your hands!
"If you want to accuse someone of something, you can always accuse him of something. However, to claim the foundation of my ancestors and ruin the Murong clan with such an absurd accusation, I will not accept it, and neither will the thousands of fellow Cultivators in the Ancient Sages Sector! If you do this, where is the justice, where is the justice, where is the justice!
"Vulture Li Yao, don't think that the thousands of Cultivators in the Ancient Sages Sector are scared of the Star Glory Federation. Although Murong Ling is a woman, she will have a fight with you today with her righteousness and her righteousness alone!
"You slayed Elder Scorching Sun only because of the power of the Cloud Qin Gold Statues and the divine boats. If you are capable, don't count on the divine boats and the Gold Statues. Come down and fight Murong Ling on your own!
"Li Yao, Li Yao, you —"
Murong Ling controlled her flying sword and cursed nonstop, "Linglong Xiao!"
Seeing that more and more fellow Cultivators were gathering down below, and some of them were even cheering for her, she felt more and more confident. In her trance, she truly saw the righteousness and justice that had lingered in the Ancient Sages Sector for a hundred thousand years rising slowly behind her and providing infinite strength for her.
She was gritting her teeth and crashing into the largest 'divine boat' without bothering about anything, when dozens of mystic rays darted toward her and pierced through her body brutally. Her internal organs, bones, and flesh were instantly reduced to ash. Before her soul had the chance to struggle in pain, it was already gone, and she did not know anything anymore.
The leader of the four fairies of the Hundred Crane State was gone just like that, leaving nothing behind.
The only thing that remained was the translucent dust that looked like snow in June, which contained infinite grievances, slowly drifting to the heads of the Cultivators of the Ancient Sages Sector.
Fang Chengzhi watched the scene in silence.
His face was first filled with panic, then fear and uneasiness, and then confusion.
However, when the 'snow in June' really landed on the ground and resumed the original appearance of dust, the panic, confusion, and weakness on his face were all gone.
He had been deeply stimulated by the 'hundred-year brilliance exhibition' and the scene in front of his eyes. He had gained a new understanding.
He felt that his head had been struck by lightning, and a brand-new strength of a higher level that was as vast as an ocean was flowing into it incessantly.
Right now, he did not understand the nature of the strength yet.
But it did not matter. There was still plenty of time. The Ancient Sages Sector had changed, and his belief was undergoing drastic changes, too. One day, he would figure out the source of the strength of the Xing Yao Federation, and with the strength, he would make himself, the Green Cloud Sword Sect, and the entire Ancient Sages Sector climb to a higher peak!
…
Neither 'Green Willow' Fang Chengzhi, a Cultivator of the Ancient Sages Sector who was changing rapidly, nor 'Nimble Deity' Murong Ling, a stubborn, stubborn person, could affect Li Yao's belief at all.
Li Yao was not in Angry Fire Mountain at all right now but in the depths of a training room on a starship in the sky of the Divine Capital of the Great Qian Dynasty. He was practicing the most mysterious training.
At this moment, his hair was jet black and shiny, and a layer of faint flowing light surged on his skin like the coating on a precious cultural relic. His expression was calm, composed, and casual, and he'd already reached the level of cultivation with every movement he made, every breath he took, and every thought he had.
Two years ago, they had set off from the homeland of the Federation. Their original plan was to reach the Ancient Sages Sector in three to six months.
However, the dark nebula was mysterious and full of all kinds of uncanny interferences. Although they had the most detailed star maps, sailing routes, and coordinates, they still ran into unexpected accidents and did not find the place until they were lost for two years. It was already fortunate enough that they were able to correct the sailing route and get rid of the lost state during a space voyage so quickly.
During the two years that they were lost in space, Li Yao had tried his best to digest and absorb the enormous tenebrum energy left by the extraterrestrial devils as well as the many gifts that Professor Mo Xuan had left for him. He had also made the mental devil and Neltharion more deeply and inconspicuously melted.
Before they arrived in the Ancient Sages Sector, all the tenebrum energy had been purged and absorbed. The intensity of his spiritual energy had reached an unprecedented level. He was no longer just half a step away from the Divinity Transformation Stage but only a thin layer away from the real Divinity Transformation Stage.
Although it was a thin layer, it could not be broken through by crazily accumulating spiritual energy. It required new understandings, a new way of thinking, and a new perspective to view his own kind, the world, and everything else in the universe.
Such a state was somewhat similar to when his Actualization Quotient was above 90%. Whether or not his spiritual root could be awakened did not depend on the improvement of his physical strength but on the unpredictable opportunity.
However, when his level was low, he would be searching for opportunities.
When his level was between the Yuanying Stage and the Divinity Transformation Stage, he would have to create his own opportunities!
"Swish! Swish!
Shua! Shua! Almost a hundred light beams were feeding back the major events that were happening everywhere in the Ancient Sages Sector to his eyes clearly.
While the hundred thousand Cultivators of the Ancient Sages Sector were undergoing the modification of their souls in the Angry Fire Valley, drastic changes were happening everywhere in the Ancient Sages Sector, too.
Enormous temporary camps were established every day. Countless displaced disaster victims were settled in them and received comprehensive health checks. The signs of the plague were nipped in the cradle.
Clean water towers were established every day in the swamps and the dirty water. Clean drinking water was spurting out incessantly from the top. Such a system alone was enough to feed countless people.
Every day, the granaries of the Cultivation sects were either 'voluntarily' opened to provide food or were breached by the Exo Societies of the Federation by brute force. The granaries were so abundant that even the Cultivators of the Federation found it hard to believe their eyes.
Li Yao was very satisfied with the rapid changes of the Ancient Sages Sector.
Naturally, he knew how many Cultivators of the Ancient Sages Sector gritted their teeth and cursed him behind his back, calling him a vicious, unreasonable, and lawless fiend.
It was true that, from the perspective of the Cultivators of the Ancient Sages Sector, he was indeed a lawless, unparalleled fiend in front of the eternal laws and rules of the Ancient Sages Sector.
However …
It was the virtue of the weak to follow the current laws.
For the real experts, it was not enough to follow the current laws. Human beings were making progress. They were unveiling the truth of the universe and grasping the laws of the universe at a deeper level.
The current laws, systems, and rules would always lag behind human beings' understanding of the ultimate truths of the universe.
The virtues and obligations of the experts were to smash the old laws and systems and establish brand-new laws and 'truths' that were more in line with the development of human beings!
When one's Cultivation, combat ability, wisdom, and power reached a certain level, they would indeed be 'lawless'. What they did could no longer be judged by certain one-sided and rigid laws. Perhaps, as Jin Tuyi said, 'only history is qualified to judge me'.
In the past, Li Yao had never understood what Jin Tuyi meant by that.
But right now, he was starting to understand it.
He could even vaguely feel what Blackstar the Great felt in the past.
"I firmly believe that I am right.
"I will dedicate all my efforts, strength, soul, and resources to implement my beliefs to every corner of the sea of stars and every grain of dust.
"Right now, no force, no law, and no morality can judge what I have done because they are the targets that I am going to crush in the first place!
"Only the history billions of years later can give the final verdict on what I have done today.
