Chapter 672 -669: Three Lives Pure Land Realm
The mysterious old man from the Eastern Land wasn’t confident.
So, he chose to retreat at the first opportunity.
In his view, with his Saint Third Realm cultivation, retreating would be a simple matter.
Jiang Jichen wouldn’t be able to stop him.
However, just as his figure shot into the sky, Jiang Jichen suddenly appeared before him.
“Why the rush to leave? We should sit down and have a nice talk.”
“Besides, weren’t you trying to kill me? I’m right here in front of you. This is a great opportunity!”
Jiang Jichen said.
But upon seeing Jiang Jichen suddenly materialize before him, the mysterious old man from the Eastern Land’s expression changed drastically.
The other man’s speed was… even greater than his own!
At that moment, the heart of the mysterious old man from the Eastern Land sank to the depths.
“Jiang Jichen, must we fight to the death? Members of the Law Enforcement Guild are nearby. Alerting them won’t do you any good!”
the mysterious old man from the Eastern Land said.
He was very patient and still had no intention of fighting Jiang Jichen.
He cherished his life more than anyone; he wouldn’t do anything he wasn’t certain of.
“The Law Enforcement Guild? If they come, I’ll just kill them one by one. As for you, you’re not going anywhere until you explain a few things!”
As Jiang Jichen spoke, he took the initiative to attack.
Seven-Color Holy Light swirled in his palm as he struck out at the mysterious old man from the Eastern Land.
SMACK!
PTHU!
The mysterious old man from the Eastern Land had no choice but to meet Jiang Jichen’s palm strike with his own.
The result was a violent tremor through his body. His internal organs were injured, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was shocked. He couldn’t believe that, as a cultivator in the Saint Third Realm, he was no match for Jiang Jichen, who was only at the Saint First Layer.
“How can someone at the Saint First Realm be this strong?”
the mysterious old man from the Eastern Land cried out in alarm. At the same time, he retreated rapidly, even activating a Secret Skill, and vanished in an instant.
When he reappeared, it was in a forest outside Cyan Moon City.
But a figure had already appeared there before him. Naturally… it was Jiang Jichen.
“You…”
The mysterious old man from the Eastern Land looked as if he’d seen a ghost, his face filled with disbelief.
He had, after all, used a Secret Skill to escape through the void.
His escape was random, taking him dozens of miles away in an instant. Even if a Pursuer had comparable speed, it would be impossible to lock onto his destination.
And yet, Jiang Jichen… had done it!
While the mysterious old man from the Eastern Land was still in shock, Jiang Jichen flashed forward, striking him with the Sinking Mountain.
CRACK!
The mysterious old man from the Eastern Land could hear the sound of every bone in his body shattering.
Then, the Holy Spirit Power throughout his body dispersed, and he collapsed to the ground like a pile of soft mud.
‘What terrifying power!’
That thought flashed through the mind of the mysterious old man from the Eastern Land.
His own powerful Defense Power hadn’t blocked the blow in the slightest.
Jiang Jichen hadn’t used any skills, simply wielding the million-jin Sinking Mountain with pure physical strength to strike the mysterious old man from the Eastern Land.
A casual swing had crippled his body, temporarily robbing him of his ability to fight.
“Now, can we have that talk?”
Jiang Jichen looked down at the mysterious old man from the Eastern Land, pinning him to the ground with the Sinking Mountain.
With every bone in his body shattered and pinned beneath the million-jin Sinking Mountain, he couldn’t move an inch, despite his Saint Third Realm cultivation.
Worse, unable to gather his Holy Spirit Power, the mysterious old man from the Eastern Land felt like he was about to be crushed flat as paper, struggling to even breathe.
“I… I surrender! What do you want to know? I’ll tell you everything!”
The mysterious old man from the Eastern Land cherished his life dearly and was now being surprisingly cooperative. This was somewhat unexpected for Jiang Jichen, who had thought he’d need to use other methods.
“The power behind you, and why you want me dead. If I’m not satisfied with your answers, you die!”
Jiang Jichen’s casual demeanor was gone, replaced by a cold expression. His eyes filled with killing intent.
The mysterious, black-clad old man from the Eastern Land trembled with fear, knowing that the slightest misstep today would mean his death.
But even if there was only a sliver of hope for survival, he had to try and grasp it.
“This humble one doesn’t know much. I am merely a Dust World Traveler!”
“The Three Lives Pure Land Realm of the Eastern Land is transcendent, with a legacy stretching back hundreds of millions of years. It never reveals itself to the world, relying on Dust World Travelers to act on its behalf.”
“The Three Lives Pure Land Realm is one of the most mysterious and ancient Sects in the Mortal World. Its power far surpasses that of the Law Enforcement Association. After all, the Law Enforcement Association is only the greatest power on the surface of the Mortal World.”
“It is said that the Three Lives Pure Land Realm is the Land of Origin for Daoist Skills. Only one successor is born every ten thousand years, and each one is inevitably the strongest existence in the Mortal World, capable of ascending to the Ninth Heaven to contend with the most powerful geniuses in existence!”
“The Profound Realm, the Earth Realm, and the Celestial Realm make up the Three Lives Pure Land. And aside from the successors, everyone who emerges from the Three Lives Pure Land Realm is at least at the Saint Ninth Layer, the Supreme Realm!”
“They only appear when a major event occurs in the Mortal World. Otherwise, they rely on Dust World Travelers like us to act on their behalf. We just follow the orders issued by the Three Lives Pure Land Realm.”
The mysterious old man from the Eastern Land revealed this secret in a single breath.
Jiang Jichen slowly processed the information. ‘To think such a terrifying, transcendent, hidden power exists in the Mortal World.’
‘The weakest among them to appear in the world are at the Supreme Realm!’
“Have you ever entered the Three Lives Pure Land Realm? If so, why do you risk your lives for them?”
Jiang Jichen went straight to the heart of the matter.
“Every fifty years, a single spot to enter the Three Lives Pure Land Realm becomes available. All of us Dust World Travelers risk our lives for that spot. Every fifty years, the one with the most merit points gets to enter. An old man like me naturally wouldn’t have such a chance.”
“However, I have used merit points to exchange for many amazing cultivation treasures from the Three Lives Pure Land Realm. That’s how I was able to break through to the Saint Third Realm.”
“Many Dust World Travelers work for the Three Lives Pure Land Realm not only for the chance to enter it, but also to earn points and exchange them for supreme cultivation treasures.”
“Eight years ago, this old one received a mission from the Three Lives Pure Land Realm to eliminate you, Venerable One. That’s what led to all of this.”
“Venerable One, please spare my life! I’ve told you everything I know!”
In his desperation to live, the mysterious, black-clad old man from the Eastern Land had indeed told him everything.
At this, Jiang Jichen’s brow furrowed. “But I heard from the Jiang Mansion’s Grand Elder that this was because my father offended a major power in the Eastern Land. Are you saying he offended the Three Lives Pure Land?”
The mysterious, black-clad old man from the Eastern Land replied, “That is just my speculation. I don’t know the specifics!”
“It might have something to do with your mother. From the few clues I’ve gathered, I suspect that your mother might be someone who came from the Three Lives Pure Land Realm, so…”
Hearing the mysterious old man’s words, Jiang Jichen was startled. “If that’s the case, then everything makes sense!”
“Does this mean that to solve this mystery, the only way is to take a trip to the Three Lives Pure Land Realm?”
Jiang Jichen murmured to himself.
Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, the mysterious old man from the Eastern Land was nearly scared to death. No one had ever dared to even consider such a thought.
