Chapter 481: Fatty Retaliates
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sun Yu exhaled deeply then turned towards the cultivators from the various sects. "Fellow Daoists, the demon clans in the Southern Land has been a source of trouble for a long time, now they're colluding with heretical cultivators, it is a heinous crime, may I ask fellow Daoists to follow my Divine Imperial Sect to rid the demons and defend the Dao."
The leaders of the various sects exchanged looks, though Southern Land was sealed off all year long the sects still had some understanding about it. Rumors said that there were seven demon monarchs in Southern Land, they often fought and weren't united. Only one was here right now, though she'd brought many high level demon beasts, as long as the various sects worked together, they still stood a chance. Hence it did not take them long to consider and were about to reply.
Suddenly, a booming roar sounded from deep within the Southern Land, dust clouded behind the demons, with a rumble a thick demonic aura was approaching, even the ground was shaking as if hordes of troops and horses were rushing over.
A few moments later, everyone got a clear look of what that was- an uncountable number of demon beasts were charging towards them forming an entire sea. Even the originally dense forest paled in comparison, the demon and beasts was a sea of black that one couldn't even see the end of it.
Don't mention them, even if all the cultivators in the Sacred Arrival Realm came, they might not even be able to hold up against such a Beast Tide. Moreover the cultivation level of each demon beast wasn't low, as they came closer they realized that there were six of them with striking demonic auras right at the front, one look and one knew they were the twelfth level demon monarchs.
All seven demon monarchs of Southern Land had actually gathered. If they were to team up, the hearts of the cultivators turned cold, their faces slightly pale. Fortunately the demon clans in Southern Land were ruled individually, it shouldn't be that easy for them to unite too.
The sea of demon beasts came running, only stopping before the spirit river, the six leading demon monarchs walked forward, then... kneeled down without any hesitation before Rabbit, speaking in unison.
"Reporting to my Monarch, we have gathered the troops and came here on your order!"
"Mm." Rabbit nodded and gestured for them to stand up. "Thank you for your hard work everyone."
"This is our duty, we do not dare to call it tough." Panther Monarch who finally grew a new paw quickly replied.

Lion Monarch also added. "Every demon beast has the responsibility to protect the Southern Land!"
"That's right!" The remaining demon monarchs also nodded. "How dare these human cultivators trespass our Southern Land, destroy our spirit river and even had the audacity to brag shamelessly before our Myriad Demon King, did they really think the Southern Land was a pushover?"
With that, all of them threw furious glares towards the cultivators on the opposite side of the river, looking as if they were ready to charge over and gnaw them to death any minute.
Everyone: "..." What happened to the demon monarch of Southern Land having terrible relations?
Also, when did a Myriad Demon King appear amongst them? The cultivators could not help but looked towards Rabbit who was right at the front, they were all twelfth level, why would those demon monarchs willingly acknowledge that rabbit as their king?
The cultivators felt that hearts sink, suddenly, they no longer dared to act recklessly. They could not help but rejoice that they hadn't had time to reply to Divine Imperial Sect's invitation to join battle. One must know, a twelfth level demon monarch was more or less equivalent to a Traveling immortal, on top of them, the demons were naturally domineering, they might not have any advantage, what's more, there were seven of them. Not to mention those tenth and eleventh level demon beasts, they didn't even dare to do a proper count.
The faces of everyone in the Divine Imperial Sect paled, at a loss of what to do for a moment.
"Brother Rabbit." Fatty spoke up, "It's between me and Divine Imperial Sect today, it has nothing to do with anyone else, there's no need to cause a conflict between the two races. Let us settle it ourselves."
"Brother Fatty!" Rabbit panicked and wanted to say something, but seeing the determined look in Fatty's eyes she swallowed the words. On the way here, Fatty had explained everything to her, she naturally understood what he was thinking, hence she stepped back and addressed the cultivators. "Listen, I can drop the matter of you trespassing in my Southern Land today, but my brother must settle his scores with Divine Imperial Sect. These have nothing to do with anyone else. If any others dare to get involved, the demon race wouldn't mind getting ourselves involved too."
It was very clear what it meant, it was between Fatty and Divine Imperial Sect to settle their score, if the others were to help the Divine Imperial Sect then they would go to battle. The cultivators stared at each other speechlessly for a while, but no one dared to come forward. After all, between a private grievance and a battle between the two races, no one would choose the latter. On top of that, Fatty was alone but the Divine Imperial Sect had a dozen of Soul Formation cultivators and three Traveling immortals, the end result was obvious.
Fatty took a few steps forward, the sword in his hands pointed at Sun Yu opposite him. "Strike! Who's coming first, or all together?"
Sun Yu sighed, looking extremely reluctant. "Since Sect Master insists on doing so, forgive me for offending you." He summoned his artifact.
Two figures flashed and were instantly in battle, Sun Yu controlled the artifact in his hand, at once a net formed by gathering Spirit Qi was about to fall onto Fatty, that net was so big that it seemed like it could cover the entire sky, there was even a thick cloud of suppression on it, all the spells that Fatty had summoned had been taken into it and it was about to entrap Fatty next.
It was over!
Sun Yu sighed, he had absolutely no regard for Fatty, after all no matter how good Fatty was, he was merely a Soul Formation level cultivator, whereas he was a Traveling immortal. Just as he was about to retract his artifact, he saw the figure in the net flash and suddenly disappear.
Huh? Sun Yu was startled, before he could react, he felt an immense pain at his waist, turns out Fatty who was in the net earlier had appeared behind him and gave him a kick. He was caught off guard and fell out of the air and was fed a mouthful of mud.
Sun Yu stood up in disbelief, how was this possible, he'd used his artifact to suppress him, how was he able to escape. Before he could be shocked, Fatty's next attack had arrived. He saw numerous fire dragons descending from the sky, falling directly in his direction.
His heart sank, not daring to underestimate his opponent anymore, he hurriedly summoned large clouds of vapor, condensed them into streams of water and struck back. Those streams of water wrapped themselves around the fire dragon like chains, wanting to totally extinguish those fire dragons. But the moment they did, numerous lightning appeared on the fire dragon, not only were his water streams unable to extinguish it, they even fed into the lightning.
The entire fire dragon instantly grew several times thicker, alongside flashing lightning, the fire dragon charged downwards with a rumble. It was too late for Sun Yu to dodge, he could only frantically put up a shield but it was completely useless. Those lightning instantly broke his shield and swallowed him whole.
"AH!!!" Sun Yun instantly let out a shriek, if it wasn't for the dharma clothing on him, his entire being would have been completely burned. Even so, his exposed skin was still being scorched. Immense pain left him rolling on the ground, but the fire dragons in the air weren't down, following that, several fire dragons fell once again.
Chapter 482: A Complete Victory.

Just as Sun Yu no longer had a way out and was about to disappear completely amongst the lightning fire dragons, the people of the Divine Imperial Sect came to their senses, two Traveling immortal and several Soul Formation cultivators rushed out to block the remaining fire dragons and rescued Sun Yu.
Everyone was oddly panicky, anyone could tell that Fatty was only a late-stage Soul Formation cultivator, but in less than 15 minutes, he'd managed to defeat a Traveling immortal, this capability was shocking. Whether it was the heretical cultivator who had yet to show himself, or the Myriad Demon King before them, it was evident that it won't be easy to take Hui Ze away today.
The expression of the cultivators from Divine Imperial Sect darkened, exchanging a look, the remaining two Traveling immortals and two Soul Formation cultivators struck out at Fatty at the same time, engaging altogether once more.
In the hidden array formation not too far out, a certain trio was drinking tea while nibbling on melon seeds as they watched on calmly.
"One against four?" Shen Ying cocked her head to a side.
"What's one against four? Fatty is after all, an all-rounded cultivator." Lonemoon replied nonchalantly.
"Oh, what's the most number of people he can go against?"
"I'm betting three months of food allowance on at least seven people." Lonemoon looked totally confident.
Shen Ying's eyes rolled around for a second before lighting up as she came to a decision. "Then I'll bet three fruits, eight people!"
Yi Qing looked back and forth between the two people, to appear sociable, he also joined in. "I'll bet three meals, ten people!"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Lonemoon: "..."
Shen Ying: "..."
Is there a difference whether you bet or not? Which meal isn't cooked by you?
As they chatted, the few people battling on the other side was slowly coming up with an outcome. Lonemoon had guessed correctly, even with four people fighting at the same time, they did not gain any advantage from Fatty, instead they were gradually being suppressed by Fatty's inexhaustible and peculiar spells.
The cultivators of the Divine Imperial Sect watching below then could not help it, more and more people joined in the battle, subsequently, it became a dozen of Soul Formation cultivators and Traveling Immortals ganging on Fatty.
However, Fatty was truly too skilled with his spells, all sorts of sorcery stacked together, it could look to be a fire-element, but there was also thunder-element mixed in it and in the end, it turned out to be an ice-element and wind-element spell. Up to the last moment, no one could come out with a complete spell to counter his, and he even set up several array formations from time to time. As they battled on, before his opponents realized they'd already been trapped in his array formation.
Not just the people in battle, even the various sects remaining could not believe their eyes, they did not expect that he could really go against so many cultivators at the same level or even a level higher than himself, all alone. And slightly more than a decade before, he was merely a mortal.
In less than an hour, a considerable number of Soul Formation cultivators were caught and fell out of the air one in succession, looking even more miserable than Sun Yu. The rest grew increasingly terrified as they watched on, finally, all the Soul Formation cultivators and Traveling Immortals of the Divine Imperial Sect joined in.
At once, brilliant rays from the spells lit up the entire sky, this battle took several hours and there were only dozens of Soul Formation cultivators and a traveling immortal left in the air, of course, there was also Fatty. His entire body was already covered in wounds, his long gown coated in large patches of blood stains. An extended period of battling was extremely exhausting, his fatigue was already showing on his face but he continued to gaze at the people before him with determined eyes.
He cannot lose this battle!
Whereas everyone from Divine Imperial Sect had obviously fought their best, as if noticing that he was spent, their attacks became more concentrated. Dozens of spells flew towards Fatty, someone had even set up a trapping array, the golden array formation instantly formed above his head. This time, he had no way out, Fatty felt his blood and Qi surging as he fell onto one knee and the spells that were still attacking earlier began to grow unstable.
After all, under the joint attacks of a dozen Soul Formation cultivators, no matter how superb Fatty's Five Elements Reversal Formation was, this was already his limit. More and more wounds appeared on his body as his actions became increasingly sluggish. However, the cultivators of the Divine Imperial Sect weren't any better off, the trapping array had exhausted all the Qi of the cultivator who had set it up. Upon seeing Fatty entrapped, the others immediately summoned a sky of icicles, lightning and spirit swords, attacking one last time with everything, their success or failure hinges on this one attack.
As the trapping array grew brighter and brighter, the spells in the sky readied itself to bomb Fatty. Gritting his teeth, Fatty suddenly exploded with a huge amount of Spirit Qi that he never had, his already round physique began to expand frantically, like a rubber ball swiftly inflating. His figure instantly became several times larger and broke out of the trapping array forcefully resisting all the spells, everything fell onto this humongous ball-like body but had no effect at all.
Huh? He still had this skill!
The master-disciple duo who were watching on, turned towards a certain dean together.
"What are you looking at?" Lonemoon glared back. "What's with your gazes looking like I've misled him? This is called capitalizing on his strengths, do you understand!"
The duo: "..." Formidable, formidable!
On the other side, Fatty who had transformed into a huge "rubber ball" had began to spin, at once the winds surged, before the cultivators surrounding him could react, they were instantly thrown out by the raging winds, crashing into the spells that they themselves had summoned. In a moment, everyone fell out of the sky like dumplings while Fatty lifted himself up into the air and dropped down.
His speed was terrifyingly fast, and the cultivators who had exhausted their spiritual power had no way of dodging at all, they could only watch as a meat ball as large as the sky fall onto them directly from the sky.
A deafening rumble followed.
An extensive crack more than ten meters appeared on the ground while more cracks followed around it, the ground shook, even the various sects watching at a side had to set up arrays or ride their swords to avoid being affected.
On the other hand, everyone in the Divine Imperial Sect had long become meat pancakes, only a dozen of them with shallow breathing proved that they were still alive, but no one knew if they would survive or whether their cultivation could be preserved.

"Father Niu... don't tell me this is the technique of a Body Cultivator?" Yi Qing asked instinctively. Don't mention his sudden transformation, to have a body so strong that it could flatten Soul Formation cultivators into such a state, only body cultivators could do it!
"Shut up!" Who said he was a body cultivator, Fatty absolutely could not be a body cultivator, absolutely not!!
Fatty transformed back into his original form then, he wasn't better off either. This attack had expended all of his Spirit Qi. His entire person was about to become a bloody ball, he stumbled but fought to not collapse as he swept a glance at the cultivators from the Divine Imperial Sect scattered all over, he had won. He really won!
His tensed up nerves finally relaxed as the corner of his lips involuntarily lifted into a smile. He subconsciously turned back, looking in Rabbit's direction. He really wanted to go report to Master that he had done it!
But he happened to see Rabbit's panicking expression. "Watch out!" Rabbit shouted out loud.
Chapter 483: Hao Ran As An Arbitrator
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fatty froze, sensing an immense pressure suddenly attacking towards him, it brought an aura that one could not resist.
Sun Yu who was badly wounded abruptly threw out an item, the solemn look in his eyes earlier had been replaced by one that showed he wished to skin him alive. A green umbrella suddenly appeared in the air, surrounded by a white luster, a strong suppression swept across the surrounding few hundred miles. No matter the cultivators or the demon beasts, everyone wore a terrified look, one could tell this umbrella wasn't an item of the mortal realm in one look.
"Soul Capturing Umbrella!" Fatty faltered, but it was already too late to dodge.
"Damn it!" Lonemoon cursed, actually using an immortal artifact to cheat when he couldn't beat him, did they take him to be a dead person?
He stood up right away, as he was about to strike out, he was tugged back Shen Ying who was beside him.
"Father Niu."
Just as the Immortal Qi on the umbrella was about to strike Fatty, a Buddhist chant came from the horizon, and instantly stripped the umbrella of its offensiveness.
"Amitabha!"
Everyone heard the ringing of a chain of bells and saw a bald man dressed in a Kasaya, flying over on a lotus stage, a light sheen of gold sacred light was emitting from his body. Compared to the good-looking cultivators, his looks were very ordinary, only the speck vermilion between his brows was especially striking, his entire being was surrounded by an aura of compassion.
"It's a Buddhist cultivator from Hao Ran Court!" Someone recognized his identity and exclaimed out loud.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
The man waved his hand and instantly kept the green umbrella away, then greeted everyone, "I am Chan Ji, greetings benefactors."
Everyone was shocked, some even had their eyes wide in shock with faces of disbelief.
"Chan Ji? Isn't he the Court Lord of Hao Ran Court, I didn't think he would come forth personally."
"Hao Ran Court does not partake in the disputes of the world, only ruling justice in the world. To have him come forward at this time, could it be that someone has sinned?"
"Seems there's something more to the matter between Divine Imperial Sect and this Sect Master, that even Hao Ran Court has intervened."
Everyone started to make guesses in whispers, but all, without exception, held expressions of respect and admiration for the man, even Fatty's expression had eased up.
"Huh?" Shen Ying cocked her head to a side to peek at the monk that had suddenly appeared, then turned towards Lonemoon.
"Why are you staring at me?" Lonemoon rolled his eyes. "I don't know who this is either." What Hao Ran Court, he'd never heard of it.
Whereas Chef who was beside them frowned and questioned instinctively, "Master, the sacred light on this person's body..."
"Mm." Shen Ying nodded.
"What sacred light, this must be the golden light of merit and virtue?" Lonemoon had figured it out too and replied subconsciously.
Yi Qing opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something but still held back at the end and turned to continue looking at the middle.
The monk known Chan Ji was already walking towards Sun Yu who was on the ground, the green umbrella in hand. "Fellow Daoist Sun, since you have already lost to Fellow Daoist Hui here, why the need to use an immortal artifact to attack him from behind and add onto your sins of killing for nothing?"
Sun Yu went pale, the look in his eyes changed several times, dimming after a moment. He dug out an elixir pill and swallowed it before saying, "I erred in my thoughts, Hui Ze was originally the Sect Master of my sect, we served him diligently, never slacking off for more than 20 years, but who knew he was never grateful and was even deceived by a heretical cultivator and developed hatred for us... I summoned the immortal artifact in a moment of anger."
"Shut your mouth, do not slander my Master!" Fatty retorted directly. "Master removed the seal on my spirit root and taught me spells, he isn't a heretical cultivator, he is the best Master in the world. Who exactly is deceiving me, you know very well!"
Rabbit also hurriedly flew over and supported the tottering Fatty. "That's right, how dare you slander Great Immortal, are you asking for death?"
"Amitabha." Chan Ji sighed and said, "The grievances between the both of you have grown to involve both the human and demon realm, to avoid bringing calamities to the two realms, the Hao Ran Court naturally cannot sit by and watch on. If both of you trust me, why don't you let me be a judge for the two of you?"
A trace of hesitance flashed through Fatty's eyes but he still nodded after a moment. After all Hao Ran Court was different from the Divine Imperial Sect, they did not belong to any sect and was a completely independent place in the immortal realm, their followers abhorred evil and also had enough capabilities, they were an existence that the entire Sacred Arrival Realm looked up to. For cultivators who were wronged, as long as they are able to cross the Uncrooked Sea and find Hao Ran Court, they would definitely come forward to deliver justice.
"My constitution is special, since a young age I was locked up in the sect by the Divine Imperial Sect, after I grew up, they would take away my flesh and blood every seven days, using me as a living sacrifice to raise their cultivation levels..." Fatty retold his story once again, including how they'd set up restrictions in his consciousness to prevent him from practicing cultivation, in order to better control him.
While Sun Yu did as he had always and completely denied everything. "Sect Master, I know you have many misunderstandings towards us that you believed such absurd sayings of using flesh and blood as a sacrifice for arrays, you were unable to practice cultivation in the past, I can understand your discontentment with our sect. Right now, your cultivation saw a sudden boost who knew what the heretical cultivator had done to you, you must guard against him!"
"My Master is not a heretical cultivator!" Fatty was obviously no match for Sun Yu, the wily old fox.
"Sect Master, the 23 Soul Formation elders and Traveling Immortal elders in our sects all treated you sincerely, how could you slander them with such a malicious crime of using flesh and blood as offerings to arrays without any evidence!"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"You-"
"Who said we have no evidence!" Lonemoon could no longer sit still and appeared beside Fatty.
"Master! You..." Fatty was delighted, but just as he was about to step forward, he was stuffed with a mouthful of pills by Lonemoon, choking him so that he started to cough.
"Sit down and regulate your meridians." Lonemoon gave him a glare. "If you don't know how to talk then shut your mouth!"
Fatty's imposing manner weakened visibly as he took a few steps back timidly and obediently sat down to meditate.
"It's you!" Sun Yu recognized him at once, this was the person who took Hui Ze away. "It was you, the heretical cultivator who fooled Sect Master!"
"Heretical cultivator?" Lonemoon let out a cold laugh. "In this world, there are people who call me Supremacy, some call me Young Lord, there are even some who call me father, but this is the first time I've had someone call me heretical cultivator. Let me ask one question, which eye of yours saw that I'm a heretical cultivator?"
"Hmph!" Sun Yu sneered coldly. "Your cultivation is strange and you managed to bring Hui Ze up to the Soul Formation level in merely ten years. Such cultivation is obviously abnormal, perhaps it isn't stable at all, who knows if any problems will surface in the future. To be able to attain such things, what are you if you aren't a heretical cultivator?"
"Fatty's cultivation is unstable?" Lonemoon chuckled coldly again. "So earlier on, all of you were defeated by an unstable Soul Formation cultivator?"
"..." Sun Yu was stuck, he'd been retorted that he was at a loss for words.
"You're ignorant and yet you blame others for being too outstanding. Let's put aside whether I'm a heretical cultivator or not, but you are definitely a fool cultivator, fool as in foolish!" Arguing with me, even Rabbit was taught by me, with the exception of foodie Ying, he'd never lost before!
"You..." Sun Yu was so enraged that his face was flushed, as his blood and Qi surged, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chapter 484: Invitation To Hao Ran
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Amitabha." Chan Ji stepped forward in good time, interrupting the two. "Fellow Daoist, what exactly do you mean by the evidence that you mentioned, do you have substantial evidence?"
Lonemoon laughed coldly. "Of course I do." With that, he pulled out a white stone.
"This is the Shadow Preserving Stone!" Chan Ji was taken aback and instantly understood what he meant. "Could it be that the truth has been recorded in the images in this stone."
Lonemoon did not answer and directly sent a stream of Spirit Qi to activate the Shadow Preserving Stone on his hand.
Spirit Qi gathered above the stone at once and images appeared. It was the scene of the ascension ceremony of the one known as Yu Su back then in the Divine Imperial Sect, he sat in a huge array formation, receiving the Heavenly Tribulation, in the next moment, the image flashed into a secret room. Fatty laid in the middle of the sacrificial array, wounds all over his body, his blood streamed into the array formation and was sent into the defense array formation of the person going through the tribulations earlier.
The expressions of the various sects changed, there were even people who turned towards Sun Yu in disbelief, this wasn't like what he had claimed earlier, any image of healing Fatty's illness had become naturally weak.
"Ridiculous!" A trace of panic flashed across his face, but he still denied loudly, "Such completely sourceless images, how can it prove that we did it, though Hui Ze was in the blood array, there was no other people there, who knows if it's you intentionally framing us?"
"Not admitting to it are you? Never mind, there's more to come!" Lonemoon sneered mockingly, sure enough, the image switched in the next moment and several figures appeared.
It happened to be the scene of the three Traveling Immortals of the Divine Imperial Sect forcing Fatty into the sacrificial blood, this time, there weren't only images but also sound, they could hear what the trio had said.
"Hui Ze, you knew that Yu Su has been at the peak stage of the Nascent Soul level for many years, his cultivation has stabilized and it's time for him to ascend yet you still sneaked out secretly. The date of the ascension ceremony has been set and made known to the other sects, now we can only put you inside the array."
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"Hey, we don't have a choice either, who told you to disobey us first, we didn't want to be so cruel in the first place."
"Yeah, let this be a lesson to you, don't sneak out of the sect in private next time."
As they spoke they pushed Fatty who looked numb into the blood array, then activated the aero blades and scraped cut after cut deep to the bone in his body.
All at once, dead silence fell on scene.
"Do we need more evidence?" Lonemoon questioned. These images had been recorded using the divine race's recollection spell after he'd rescued Fatty back then, for this he'd even specially made a secret trip back to Divine Imperial Sect as he'd expected that they would definitely have a need for surveillance videos and what not. Only this spell had a time limit that they could only watch such a small bit, but it was already enough too.
Sun Yu and the rest did not dare to spout even a word in defense, their faces deathly pale, as if they'd a premonition of the condemnation that the Divine Imperial Sect would be receiving after this incident.
"Amitabha." Chan Ji also sighed, disapproval filled in his gaze towards Sun Yu, his voice had also lowered. "Fellow Daoist Sun, Divine Imperial Sect used human flesh and blood as offerings to the array to increase cultivation. Such vicious actions make you as good as evil spirits, all of you have called yourself immortal cultivators in vain. That Benefactor Hui Ze seriously wounded all of you today is also understandable, it is all the sins that you have committed."
Sun Yu did not dare to make a sound.
Chan Ji also continued to say, "As the Court Lord of Hao Ran Court, I certainly cannot condone such evil doings. Within three months from today, I ask that Benefactor Sun return and order the entire sect to cripple the cultivation that have been gained from using human flesh and blood, it is the same regardless of Soul Formation cultivators or Traveling Immortal cultivators. And in the next three hundred years, disciples of the sect cannot leave the sect grounds, this is to do justice for Fellow Daoist Hui Ze!"
"Court Lord..." Sun Yu was startled, seeming like he wanted to rebut.
"If there is any bit of hesitation from anyone..." Chan Ji did not wait for him to finish and continued, "The Hao Ran Court will head to Divine Imperial Sect and personally execute it on behalf of everyone!"
Sun Yu bowed his head, not daring to argue anymore, even the others in Divine Imperial Sect had lowered their heads. On the contrary, a trace of joy flashed across the eyes of the members of the other sects upon hearing that. Divine Imperial Sect was known as the top immortal sect in the Sacred Arrival Realm, they naturally had the most disciples. If their disciples were not allowed to leave the sect for three hundred years, this also meant that the other sects had an additional three hundred years to develop, by then, no one would know who would be the top!
"I ask everyone to sincerely repent and reflect on your past doings!" Chan Ji put his palms together and chanted once again.
Lonemoon glanced at the monk with some puzzlement, didn't expect that this monk who'd charged out, wanting to deliver justice, was really something. These cultivators actually accepted his decision, with no intention of resisting.
Could it be that this so-called Hao Ran Court really had such great prestige, they were literally like the law enforcement agency and its relevant departments in the immortal realm.
"Fellow Daoist Hui Ze." Chan Ji turned to look towards Fatty who was at the back, revealing a kind and gentle smile. "Your constitution is unique, even after practicing cultivation for so many years and traveling the world, I have yet to see such a special example, but such uniqueness might not be a blessing. Though you have found justice, but your days to come might not be too peaceful."
What he'd meant to say was very obvious, as long as Fatty's constitution isn't settled, there would always be people coveting his flesh and blood, after all, flesh and blood that could directly increase cultivation was very difficult to not have thought about. Fatty naturally understood that too, his expression darkened.
"If you do not mind..." Chan Ji continued to suggest, "You may follow me back to Hao Ran Court for a short stay, everyone in my school are Buddhist cultivators and cannot stand the smell of blood at all. To you, I think it must be the most suitable place? After the storm blows over, you may then come and go as you please, what do you think?"
"Hao Ran Court?" Lonemoon frowned and replied subconsciously, "Why would Fatty follow you..."
"Sure!" Before he could finish, Shen Ying appeared out of nowhere and agreed to the monk's suggestion right away.
Chan Ji faltered for a moment, peeping at Shen Ying who had suddenly appeared, he subconsciously glanced around his surroundings, where had this lady come from, he actually didn't sense it at all.
"Shen Ying, what are you doing?" Lonemoon glared at her disapprovingly.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"Oh my Father Niu, we'll get sick of eating little animals everyday, it's time to switch up our tastes."
"Scram!" When have you been this diligent?
But Shen Ying had already turned towards the monk. "Master Deng, can we bring family... and a tag-along to your home?" She pointed to Father Niu, then herself and Chef.
His surname wasn't Deng? Chan Ji was dazed for a moment, before coming back to his sense, saying with his palms put together, "Since all of you are friends of Fellow Daoist Hui Ze, it is naturally possible."
"Oh, then let's go!" Shen Ying gestured at Chef. "Chef, quickly pack the belongings to set off."
"Yes, Master. No problem, Master."
Yi Qing looked around, recalling that there didn't seem to be anything for him to pack, he conveniently lifted Fatty who was meditating...
Fatty: "..."
Rabbit: "..."
Chapter 485: Setting Off for Hao Ran
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The war between the two realms ended just like that, after Fatty messed around for the umpteenth time. Shen Ying, Fatty and the others spent two days adjusting themselves at the Southern Land before they officially left it and headed for Hao Ran Court. Rabbit cried non-stop and clung on to Fatty, not bearing to let him go.
"Brother Fatty, you will be back to see me, won't you?" Once it finished, it shoved several bags of carrots to Fatty behind Lonemoon's back. "When you're hungry, eat this. Finish it, then come back and look for me when you're done. That's right, don't forget – don't let Great Immortal see this."
"Don't worry, Rabbit. You are my best friend. Once I can, I will come back to see you." Fatty looked like he could not bear to leave either. Once he finished speaking, he picked the bags of carrots up and patted his chest. "I promise!"
Lonemoon, who had seen the entire process: "..."
Why don't the both of you just get together already!
"It's getting late. Let's set off!" Chan Ji said as he looked at the skies.
"Alright." Lonemoon nodded. Once he thought about Fatty's weight, he realized there was no way they were going to sword-ride. Instead, Lonemoon took something out of his storage back and tossed it outward. It turned into a huge spirit boat that was pure white in color. Spirit Qi engulfed it. Under the sun, it looked multi-colored. It was absolutely beautiful. The designs on the ark of the boat were even more exquisite. It was obvious that the entire boat had cost a bomb.
Chan Ji silently put back the Lotus Stage that he had begun to draw out of his storage bag.
"Let's set off!" Lonemoon led the group of them up the boat and turned back to Chan Ji. "Court Lord Chan Ji, please lead the way."
"But of course." Chan Ji nodded and stepped forward to give Lonemoon some brief instructions. While Lonemoon set the direction of the boat, he took the chance to chat with Chan Ji. At the same time, he tried to find out what the situation at Hao Ran Court was like.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Coincidentally, the so-called Hao Ran Court was located at the east of the Southern Land, atop the Uncrooked Sea. It was much faster to go there from the Southern Land than it was to try to enter from the outside. The Uncrooked Sea experienced strong winds all year round. It was also filled with rich yin Qi, so few cultivators made their way there, if any at all.
But the Hao Ran Court was a Buddhist cultivating sect. The Buddhist techniques worked well against Yin and evil creatures. That was why they were the only surviving sect atop the Uncrooked Sea. In fact, they have probably been living there, away from civilization, for a long time. Buddhist cultivators used merits to cultivate, so the disciples in that sect had a wealth of experience and were all very well-trained. Although their battling skills were not as good as sword cultivators, cultivators who trained with merit were different from other cultivators. The Heavenly Dao was extremely stingy with giving merit. In fact, even if other realms tried, they might not even be able to accumulate much merit.
One would know just by taking a look at Yun Heng. He saved the world several times and saved tens of thousands of living creatures while he was at it. That was the only reason he managed to accumulate so much merit. What's more, after he saved Song Ren's life, he lost everything. It was obvious that accumulating merit was no easy feat.
Naturally, then, there were great benefits that came with accumulating merit. The Heavenly Dao was biased toward people who had merit. In terms of luck, they did far better than others. Having merit in your body also allowed you to keep evil at bay. As time goes by, the chances of getting a golden body would also increase. Another subtle benefit came from the fact that merit could only be accumulated if the beneficiary felt genuinely thankful for something that one did. It was like having a good review. Once someone else attacks a person with merit, he would accumulate bad karma. That would in turn harm his or her cultivation. So demons and immortals alike tended to stay away from Buddhist cultivators.
But according to Chan Ji, it seemed that Hao Ran Court was quite different from other Buddhist cultivators. They were... busybodies! That was different from other Buddhist cultivators, who normally did not ask too much about worldly things, or who went too deep into the mortal world to try to accumulate merit. The people of Hao Ran Court concerned themselves even with matters involving the immortal realm!
But there was bound to be some form of injustice in all of this. They could fight. They were Buddhist cultivators, but their disciples were strong. In fact, there were more Soul Formation cultivators in that sect than any other level of cultivator. Lonemoon also heard of an elder in the sect who had already become a True Immortal with a golden body. He only decided not to ascend to immortality for the sake of his sect. From all of this, it was clear that Hao Ran Court had character.
People who did not believe in bad karma used to try to attack people of the sect. After failing a couple of times, however, nobody tried to attack the sect again. It did not help that word spread that people of Hao Ran Court fought fair. As time went by, it became one of the renowned arbitration institutions of the Sacred Arrival Realm.
Hao Ran Court was not called Hao Ran Court at first – it was called the Buddhist Heart Sect. However, because they were busybodies, everybody began to look for them to have their disputes resolved. That was why they renamed themselves Hao Ran Court – it was a place where people could seek justice.
It was understandable therefore that they were being hated on by Divine Imperial Sect for helping to stand up for Fatty.
However...
Lonemoon lowered his gaze. If they wanted to find out whether Hao Ran Court's anger at them was justified, they could only do so by making a trip down.
"Master..." In the boat, Chef hesitantly spoke up. Yet, he did not stop placing plates full of pastries on the table in front of Shen Ying.
"Yes?" Shen Ying turned to look at him.
Chef looked outside at Lonemoon and Chan Ji, who were still chatting. "That thing on that man's body, is that...
Shen Ying nodded. "Yes."
Chef frowned even more deeply. A moment later, as if thinking of something, he placed the remaining plates in his hands aside and said seriously, "Master, there is something I wanted to ask you."
Shen Ying picked up a pastry and stuffed it in her mouth. "What is it?"
"Ever since the last time, when Master woke up from the coma..." Chef paused, then shook his head. "No, I should say Elder Shen... After Older Sister knocked that invader out, my powers felt different. I don't know if I'm mistaken, but I feel like... I feel like..."
"You're not wrong!" Shen Ying said. "You are!"
"What!" Chef jumped up in shock.
Shen Ying pondered for a moment, then continued, "This is rather complicated. I should say that it was the plane's plan all along. It's only going back to its plan now."
"Then Kai Tian and the rest-"

"That's why my older sister said they did everything for no reason."
"If that's the case, what's your plan then, Master?" Something came to Yi Qing's mind and his face drained of color. He grabbed Shen Ying and scanned her from head to toe. "Will you turn into what you were like before because of me?"
The pastry in Shen Ying's hand slipped out because of the force Yi Qing used. Er... What a waste!
"Master!" Seeing that Shen Ying had nothing to say in response, Yi Qing became more anxious.
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Shen Ying waved her hand and assured him. "I'm alright. Nothing will happen to me."
"But..."
"Even if you're different, you're still my assistant. That won't change. Do you understand?"
"..." He did not.
"In other words, you have to work for me forever." Shen Ying tilted her head and pondered. "I have to look again to be sure of the real reason, but your change will not affect me a single bit. It will not cause me to enter a coma once again."
Yi Qing stared at her very seriously for a couple of seconds to confirm that she was telling the truth. Then, he let out a huge sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good... Should we tell Father Niu about this? It's good-"
"I don't think so." Shen Ying shook her head almost immediately. "It's not time yet. Anyway, we have a huge problem to settle now..." Shen Ying thought of something she narrowed her eyes. They had not even started. If Father Niu wanted to rage, he could do so later on. After all, he should be used to it by now.
