In the midst of cackling laughter, Dong Qitian began to cry in agony.

A man of quintessential existence whose reputation was once feared across the world, the feeling of being defeated and locked up for so many years was indescribable. If one had not endured it, it was simply hard to describe in words.

With tears clouding his eyes, he observed the sight of Yun Yang still raising his sword and plunging it down mercilessly, very specifically targeting the stone pillar that imprisoned him and the other two buried at the sides of the stone wall…

Clang, clang, clang…

“Boy, what are you doing?”

“The quality of this Celestial Cotton Gold is truly amazing. I’m cutting all of them up to bring them back with me. If I just leave them here, it’ll be as if I’ve turned up with nothing although I’ve been into a treasure cave.”

“Ah…”

“At least you gain something, no matter where you go. You said that this is a soul-sealing platform, did you not? This is a rather good item as well, we’ll take it back with us!”

“I can understand that you would want to take the Celestial Cotton Gold and the soul-sealing platform, but is there anyone else who would dig through the poles like that besides you? Why are you being so meticulous? Do you think you’re doing some needlework, or perhaps you simply have too much time to waste?”

“What are you talking about? The four pillars buried within these stone walls are clearly otherworldly items, or else they would’ve been destroyed when you tried to escape the Celestial Cotton Gold by transmitting energy through it. If it is of value, of course, I’d have to bring it back. You really don’t know how expensive it is to manage a sect these days.”

“As a commandeering sect, I live most of my days in poverty.”

“I see…”

Yun Yang had extremely sharp eyes.

On one end of the chain forged from Celestial Cotton Gold which was concealed within the crevices of the stone wall, he could vaguely make out a few words carved into it.

That was the key.

Undoubtedly, this had to be brought back. If a certain someone ever paid us a visit, and if I’m unable to fight them off, I could just give them the chain. It shall be returned to its original owner — I’m just helping this elder stow it away for the time being…

Wouldn’t that placate their wrath if the item was returned to its original owner? There might also be a possibility that they could strike up a good working relationship…

Yun Yang was calculating all such potential possibilities with the imaginary abacus in his heart.

Of course, his intentions could not be made known to Dong Qitian…

Boom!

Dong Qitian stared as Yun Yang stored everything away into his deific space. Suddenly, the entire mountain gave way — the pillars just happened to be the structural support to the hollow belly of this mountain.

The two of them dashed out quickly through the smoke and dust.

Dong Qitian was drenched in blood as he complained, “Could you possibly be any more impatient? That cave was entirely supported by those few pillars. If you get rid of them all at once, its structural strength is going to just perish, so how would the cave even exist then?

Yun Yang threw him a sideways glance. “Haven’t you gotten enough of that place yet? Do you still miss it? If you do, you could’ve told me earlier!”

Dong Qitian inhaled huge gulps of the fresh, outside air. Watching the clear skies in the bright daylight, he felt extremely relaxed and carefree. He lapsed into a daze and did not hear a single word from Yun Yang.

He stood facing the sun on the mountain top for a long, long time. Tears of astonishment streamed down his face eventually, but it was followed by a sudden laugh as he bellowed towards the skies, “I, Dong Qitian! I’m out! I’m out!”

“I’m out!!!”

“Hahahaha… The Bound of Universe! Dear opponents, I’m out! Did you hear me?”

He only lapsed back into silence after a long time. Then, he turned around and focused on Yun Yang with a piercing gaze. He bowed suddenly, a deep bow that touched the ground. “Brother Yun!! In this lifetime of mine, I shall never forget your kindness!”

Yun Yang was somewhat stunned by his actions. Waving it off and before he could think of a reply, Dong Qitian had already stood up back up and gave him a fleeting smile. “I’ll only say such words of gratitude once in this lifetime.”

It was followed by a drawn-out howl towards the horizon by Dong Qitian, and in the midst of it, Yun Yang watched as the wounds on his injury-laden body healed quickly. His flesh regenerated rapidly with a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, covering the bloody punctures all over his body in no time.

Even Yun Yang ogled in amazement at the recovery speed of his injured body!

After his injured body had been completely healed, Dong Qitian shook his head. Ninety percent of his hundred-feet long hair was trimmed with a swooshing sound, and the remaining hair fell flat against his scalp. He sliced off the excess portion of his beard with a graze of his hand. He shook himself like a wet dog and the dirt he had been liberally covered with fell to the ground.

Yun Yang thought that that was the end to Dong Qitian’s makeover. To his surprise, he realized that he had huffed out a breath of air. Suddenly, Qi-induced dark clouds gathered from across the skies, and with a sudden strike of lightning, a massive downpour ensued as if on cue.

Summoning lightning, inducing thunder, converting it to a huge storm… those gimmicks were nothing in Yun Yang’s eyes. However, this particularly massive downpour that Dong Qitian summoned was somewhat strange — the torrent could be constrained only within a certain radius, specifically focused on Dong Qitian’s body to wash him clean.

After a long time, with a clear snap of his fingers, the clouds vanished along with the rain and light peeped out of the horizons once more.

With a wave of his hand, a soft white robe materialized and shrouded Dong Qitian’s body. It was snowy white from the inside out.

There was a pair of boots covering his feet, made from the hide of a mystical beast. Be it his clothes or his shoes, they had a simple, classic style to it.

Yun Yang gaped and wondered in awe as he watched. In no more than fifteen minutes worth of effort, the person before him had transformed from a sorry-looking, severely-injured prisoner to a lean and incredibly poised middle-aged man!

Dong Qitian’s physique seemed even more elongated when Yun Yang took another look at him. From the looks of it, he seemed to be half a head taller than he was. His two long legs stood tall from the ground, giving off a slight feeling as if they were meant to prop his well-built body against the galaxies!

Thick brows shaped like a sword’s edge, eyes with a piercing gaze, white robes lapping in the wind — every movement of his seemed as if he was about to execute his reign over the mortal realm.

“This man must be an impressive, unprecedented individual before he was imprisoned!”

That was what Yun Yang thought to himself.

The massive howl Dong Qitian had let out earlier had been transmitted far away by now. There were movements of silhouettes quickly approaching from a distance — clearly, somebody was coming to see who was the one who had triggered it.

Yun Yang peered at their attire. They should be… members of the Cangwu Union?

Dong Qitian stood on top of the mountain with crossed hands, his white robes flapping against the wind as he watched the four incoming silhouettes with an icy glare.

As the four approached their target, their speed seemed to grow slower and slower, as if they were hesitating if they should continue forward. Finally, they stopped.

After all, the cultivation base of the person who emitted this howl was simply too terrifying…

When they were still debating whether or not to retreat, there was a loud whoosh. The trees and bushes that blocked the distance which spanned across a thousand feet between the four of them and Dong Qitian were completely uprooted from the ground, then blasted away outwards with another whoosh.

Now, there was nothing that could obstruct their line of sight. The two parties stared at each other from afar.

Clearly, this person was annoyed at the fact that the forest was impeding his line of sight. With a wave of his hand, he had simply gotten rid of them with a single blade-like cut.

Yes, I see you, and I want to see you face-to-face. Are you planning to hide?

Why don’t you try hiding instead?

Those four looked as if they had been struck by lightning — they simply gaped in astonishment!

The bushes and trees and even the hills that they could have concealed themselves with were completely and instantly upheaved — they had no time to react.

What sort of move was this?
