Chapter 541: The Vicious Advancement! The Man Who Masters Time (Vote for Monthly Tickets and Recommendations)_1
Blood dripped from the stick, and Pei Jinye grabbed Kun Sheng’s hair, hoisting him up directly.
“How did you become so strong!!!”
“Or did you simply not use your full strength last time?”
Kun Sheng was in disbelief.
The last bit of pride he had was shattered by the stick on the spot.
Pei Jinye, without saying a word, struck mercilessly.
...
The spiritual power above Kun Sheng’s head visibly diminished sharply.
Kun Sheng let out a piercing scream.
The elder at the door was full of shock and anger: “Young Master!”
A figure had just charged over.
A ten-meter-long shadow of the stick came whistling toward him.
With a “boom,”
a cloud of blood burst forth.
This scene left Kun Sheng completely dumbfounded.
“Since when is the Infinity Stick so powerful?”
Pei Jinye flipped and struck out again, continuing to target him.
Kun Sheng screamed again, his voice filled with a venomous curse:
“If you have the guts, kill me! Ah! Kill me!!”
“I swear… you are dead!”
“My Sword Pavilion will never let you Old Gods Association off!”
“Even as a ghost, I won’t let you go… snap!”
A crisp sound followed by the twang of a snapping string echoed.
Kun Sheng’s pipa bone was directly yanked out by Pei Jinye, blood dripping profusely, like an extreme punishment.
Kun Sheng, who was screaming loudly, didn’t get a chance to howl again, as he was swiftly grabbed by a large hand on the scene.
“Enter Dream.”
Endless darkness descended.
Then numerous memories rushed in crazily.
…
…
“Father, I want to join the Sword Pavilion.”
“In the future, I also want to represent the Sword Pavilion…”
“I can do it! I can endure hardship!”
…
“Father, don’t go… trust me, I don’t like it there… Please don’t go, maybe you should consider if someone is trying to harm you…”
“No, I am not a prophet… Father, please stop asking. I just purely dislike that feeling…”
…
…
At the end of the memory fragments.
New content appeared on Pei Jinye’s attribute panel.
[New Extraordinary Gene: Spirit·Arms]
(Can be synthesized to advance to Level 2, Yes/No?)
“Synthesize.”
Pei Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly; this guy named Kun Sheng turned out to be the source of an Extraordinary Gene for Spirit·Arms.
But who wasn’t?
Pei Jinye’s figure vanished from the spot instantly.
Only Kun Sheng’s charred corpse remained at the scene…
Outside the hall, the crowd surrounded it, not daring to enter.
After a long time,
only then did some try to enter, but an Eccentric Lightning trap was triggered, instantly exploding, with flames shooting into the sky, and the crumbling walls directly buried those who tried to enter.
The scene was chaotic, giving Pei Jinye plenty more time.
…
Almost less than two seconds later, the synthesis advancement ended.
[New Extraordinary Gene: Spirit·Arms (Level 2)]
[New Extraordinary Ability 1: Weapon Holder (holding a weapon increases combat power by +200%)]
[New Extraordinary Ability 2: Heart of the Weapon (in this state, mind merges with the weapon, greatly increasing the chance of elevating the weapon to a higher level)]
Pei Jinye concealed his gaze.
The appearance of Heart of the Weapon surprised him.
He clutched the Golden Cudgel in his hand.
“Could it possibly break through to S-level?”
Suddenly, he felt an expectation for breaking through to S-level.
But at the moment, he had no other actions to take.
He teleported into a forest.
Pei Jinye arranged the bodies of Zhong Xuan and Jiang Xinrun in a row.
“It’s a pity, you followed me for a while…”
“I intended to bring you back to Central State, but sadly the North Continent is now sealed off. You will stay here for now, and once I’ve finished what I have to do, I will take you home.”
He poured out drinks.
Pei Jinye set up a grave for them, and then turned and left.
The North Continent had already been sealed off.
Pei Jinye sensed an extremely powerful presence descending and simply blended into the North Continent.
He was not in a hurry to leave.
He hid his identity and began deciphering the information left by Tu Ling on the spot.
…
…
At this moment, in Central State, adjacent to the North Continent.
Dawn City.
“Something happened in the North Continent…” Han Sen furrowed his brow, “The Federation has taken direct control over the North Continent this time; have they discovered something?”
“Up to now, no news has come out,” Xing Tian said, “As for the sealing and control of the North Continent, it is directly managed by the Federation. Star Ring has already issued a notice, stating that this matter concerns the security of the Federation and will be supervised by the Divine Envoy from the Federation Decision Office personally.”
Han Sen’s brow furrowed even deeper: “A matter concerning the Federation’s security?”
He was very aware of the severity of such a statement.
“Is it the Old Gods Association or some rebel organization?”
“Sorry, as of now, we’ve lost all information about the North Continent, so we cannot confirm,” Xing Tian said truthfully.
North Continent had been completely cut off from information.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the entire continent was now severed from any contact with the outside world.
Such a thing had a terrifying impact on commerce.
However, the Federation explicitly stated it would assume all consequences, which extinguished the not-so-peaceful voices in the North Continent.
“Troublesome times,” muttered Han Sen, massaging his temples, “Immediately monitor the movements of all organizations in Central State, and suppress any sparks of trouble at once.”
“Yes, Sir Han Sen.”
…
Meanwhile, on the Western Continent.
“There’s been an incident in the North Continent,” said the Elder White Fox, standing behind Elder Wuji.
She felt somewhat helpless.
Because every time she appeared here, Elder Wuji was fiddling with the fishing rod in his hand.
She knew it was golden and quite valuable…
But… could he perhaps not show off anymore?
Yes, she knew it, now the entire Old Gods Association knew he had an exceptional fishing rod in his possession.
She took a deep breath in secret.
Forcing her gaze away from the fishing rod at Elder Wuji’s side, she said, “Before the North Continent was sealed off, our people sent word that there have also been disturbances at the Sword Pavilion…”
“Who died at the Sword Pavilion this time?” Elder Wuji asked casually.
“The heir of the Kun family.” The Elder White Fox paused before continuing, “I heard that this heir of the Kun family once had an opportunity to meet with ‘that’ person. I don’t know exactly what they discussed, but it is true that the Kun family has been cultivating him along the lines the Sword Pavilion follows…
Now that he’s dead, and the Sword Pavilion is shaken, it’s uncertain whether an opportunity will arise in the North Continent this time.”
“The North Continent is a tough bite, are you sure you want to chew on it?” Elder Wuji asked as he looked over.
However, the Elder White Fox suddenly smiled sweetly, “It is said that you, Elder, once had an old acquaintance with that person from the Sword Pavilion. If you were to personally intervene, perhaps this juicy piece of the North Continent would be easily in your grasp.”
Elder Wuji glanced at her, “You know even this?”
Still smiling sweetly, the Elder White Fox said, “I heard it by chance. It has been so many years that you have kept out of the North Continent’s affairs, which is already very intriguing.”
“Curiosity about everything will only harm you,” Elder Wuji replied, withdrawing his gaze and speaking indifferently, “As I’ve said before, if there comes a day when I personally visit the North Continent… only one of us will be able to live.”
The expression of the Elder White Fox stiffened.
In a soft voice, Elder Wuji commanded, “Go and investigate the Federation’s movements. Now that all their attention is on the North Continent, the Eastern Continent must be vulnerable. Find an opportunity to cause a burst in the Eastern Continent.”
“So you have your sights set on the Eastern Continent,” mused the Elder White Fox, giving Elder Wuji’s retreating figure a deep look.
She then stood up and left.
Elder Wuji fell into deep thought.
…
The commotion that occurred in the North Continent this time was even more of a sensation than what had happened previously in the Western Continent.
The Federation Headquarters directly dispatched three Eighth Rank Transcendents.
Perhaps even the most powerful Ninth Rank was paying attention.
The entire North Continent had completely entered a certain state of silence.
Whether it was ordinary people or the various powerful families, everyone was behaving more cautiously than before.
A difficult-to-describe sense of foreboding was quietly spreading.
Someone was going to die, but no one knew who it would be.
…
Just like that.
Two days passed.
Pei Jinye felt as if he had simply taken a nap when the data regarding the Star Ring left by Tu Ling had unlocked 60%.
It was hard to imagine that even Pei Jinye, now comparable to a Level 5 intelligence, was unable to fully unlock it.
If it weren’t for the fact that two days had passed, he wouldn’t have woken up.
Opening his eyes, a cyan Attribute Light Group appeared before him.
He reached out to touch it.
A stream of information immediately surfaced.
[New Universal Extraordinary Gene Fragments+1]
“Universal, nice…”
“Synthesize Time-Space Reset!”
Almost instantly.
A new line of text appeared on Pei Jinye’s attribute panel.
[Time-Space Reset can now be synthesized to advance to Level 2, Yes/No?]
“Synthesize.”
Another wave of warmth passed through his body. Despite being brief, Pei Jinye reveled in it.
The attribute panel showed updated content.
[Adding Extraordinary Gene: Time-Space Reset (Level 2)]
[Adding Extraordinary Ability 1: Reset]
[Adding Extraordinary Ability 2: Retention]
Pei Jinye’s breathing paused for a moment.
The information flooding his mind… stirred his emotions slightly.
At the initial Rank One, each reset made the gap between him and death narrower.
Now, that effect had been reset to zero, meaning if he triggered a reset again, he would enjoy the effects as if it were the first time.
As to the extent of the time span, Pei Jinye couldn’t guess.
“Burst Stream… Memory retention, ability retention, cultivation retention…”
Pei Jinye exhaled a long breath.
Back when he was resurrected the second time through a reset, many abilities were restricted and his cultivation plummeted… It was uncomfortable.
But now, retention meant he could be reborn into the past with his current level of cultivation and strength.
“If you’re evolving like this, then I might just… ignite.”
Pei Jinye even wished he could synthesize and advance Time-Space Reset to a much higher level right now.
“Will I be able to directly master time in the future?”
“A true master of time?”
Pei Jinye chuckled lightly, then suppressed the smile on his face.
The loss of his two right-hand men genuinely upset him.
His figure flickered.
Pei Jinye appeared on the street, releasing his brainwaves, checking the messages.
The North Continent was still under full lockdown, regardless of whether one could teleport away or not. The North Continent had laid a trap for everyone, not allowing anyone to leave.
Anyone who dared to cause trouble had already been arrested.
Any resistance was met with on-the-spot execution.
Such uncompromising tactics by the Federation just now demonstrated the terrifying strength they had kept hidden.
“Star Ring doing all this, they might genuinely be afraid of something…”
“Is it because of the key?”
He couldn’t leave even if he wanted to.
Pei Jinye simply took out the key and fell into thought.
Divine his fortune!
[Divination: Great Misfortune!]
Pei Jinye exhaled softly.
Divine again after ten minutes!
[Divination: Great Misfortune!]
“…”
Divine again!
[Divination: Great Misfortune!]
“Chaotically! Are they trying to kill me?”
Just as Pei Jinye was linking with the key, suddenly… the divination changed…
