"System Notice: Celestial Statue was added to the Heavenly Dao Discussion"

"Stone Statue: ..."

"System Notice: Could you please not change your name without accessing the System interface first?"

The small exchange went unnoticed to all the other host of the Heavenly Dao Discussion.

...

In her helpless state, Yijun tries to yell out.

"Hey I belong to the Heavenly Sword Sect, sect master Zheng Jie himself invited me." Even though she doesn't know who Zheng Jie is. It was just a dart in the dark, hoping for something to come of this. On his part, her captor pauses on the first part, but then he chuckles on the second.

"Zheng Jie, Zheng Jie? Who the hell is Zheng Jie? Little beauty, if you lie, at least learn something before lying. The sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect is Ren Cheng, not this Zheng Jie you spoke off."

Dong Yu counts his lucky star, he was actually hesitating at first, but then it turns out the little beauty was just bluffing. All the better, that old bastard Ren is infamously cruel and tyrannical. If he really has touched something that belong to him, even if he has nine lives, it wouldn't even be enough.

Yijun stares back at the scene and the message that bastard Zheng Jie sent to her. Damn, it seems the Heavenly Sword Sect actually exists, but that bastard was lying about being a big shot causing her to make a blunder. She already figures it out, that bastard Zheng Jie who acted all high and mighty must be some disciple in the Heavenly Sword Sect, he talks a big game because no one in the Heavenly Dao Discussion was going to check on him. Fang Yijun swears that if she gets out of this in one piece, she will seek that bastard out and give him a piece of her mind.

But currently she still needs to figure out how to escape. She already surmises that the bastard Dong Yu who is currently carrying her is above her in cultivation...

It is a strange feeling. Moment ago she was the top of her realm, her name resonates through out the entire continent, and yet the moment she ascended, she was caught by someone stronger than her. This must be what it means to have happiness turns into sadness overnight.

However, everyone has to start from somewhere, no one was born already a mighty cultivator. In Yijun's case, she and her husband was rogue cultivator, abandoning their whole fortune to seek out the way of immortality. It was only until they were 30 was there any result. And even then, stepping into the world of cultivation, they realized they are out of their league. Family with history in cultivation already prepared their children since they were a child for the world of cultivation. Mighty sects have history going back as far as 4000 years ago. What do she and her husband have that they did not?

It was thankful that they stick to each other from the start, being a pair of cultivators who look out for each other. Until that husband of her abandon her for a younger woman anyway.

What she learned from those day of being rogue cultivator is that there is always someone stronger, more domineering. How could she forget that feeling of weakness?

It could be said that being a rogue cultivator was both a curse and blessing for Fang Yijun. A curse for causing her to have a later start than other cultivators. A blessing for toughening her up for the cruel world of cultivation.

Even in this situation, she knows one thing. The strong is not always the strong, it is the winner who is the strong. She already surmises her situation, she only need the bastard to lower his guard, then she would escape to look for the Heavenly Sword Sect. Even though Zheng Jie may not be the actual Sect Master, he has guided her to the right place basing on how Dong Yu knows that sect. There was hesitation in the bastard's step when he heard of that, she is sure of it. So what if that Zheng Jie is not the Sect Master, even if he is a disciple, he could still provide protection for her.

...that is if he is even a disciple. For all she knows, he may just be a sweeper in the sect borrowing the tiger's courage to declare himself mighty on the Heavenly Dao Discussion.

No, no. He has to at least be a disciple. Yijun tries to reassure herself.

Looking in the hazy distance, Yijun starts seeing a mountain appearing on the horizon.

"Huh, where did that mountain come from?" Dong Yu mutters.

Yijun keeps looking at the mountain and at her bound state. Inside the Heaven Net, she could not utilize any of her technique, let alone Dong Yu being stronger than her, even if he is not stronger than her, he could still subdue her in this state alone.

However, every cultivator has at least one trick up their sleeve. And currently there is one technique she could use in the right condition.

"Don't tell me I stumble upon someone's formation." Dong Yu mutters, all his senses tense.

He definitely remember that that mountain was not there earlier. Something strange like this has to be reported back to the higher up. Taking that opportunity, Yijun says

"Brother Dong Yu, seeing the strange occurrence right now, why don't you put me down and check it out. I'm caught in your almighty net already, no matter how I struggle I can't get out. You can just put me down and check it out first, I will just be a burden on you if you check it out with me on your arms."

Dong Yu chuckles, thinking he has seen through the beauty's wicked wiles. He continues to hold her on his arm while moving forward.

"Even your brother here can't escape, let alone you. No worry, no worry, this is just some cheap formation, how could I abandon my beauty?"

Dong Yu continue to take his step. Suddenly Yijun speaks up again.

"Brother Dong Yu, don't you think it is better to let me down?"

Dong Yu pauses, stumble a few steps before looking back at Yijun and smiles.

"Of course, how could I abandon you, beauty?"

Dong Yu takes another 10 steps to look at the strange mountain that has appeared. Suddenly, he stumbles again before looking down on his arm.

"Brother Dong Yu, perhaps I'm too heavy?" Yijun says.

"No worry, no worry. How could your dainty little body be heavy? Come on let me carry you on my back." So saying, Dong Yu starts carrying Yijun on his back.

Taking another 7 steps, deep inside the mountain, suddenly Dong Yu stops completely. He looks back on the figure on his back, who has a wicked smile of triumph.

"What has you done?" He screams, his whole body buckles down. Impossible, let alone the suppression that come from the differences in realm, Fang Yijun was a recently ascended, how could she have any profound technique to escape the heaven net? Even he could not escape the heaven net.

However, at this moment, Fang Yijun did not escape from the net. She is still inside the net. However, the effect is still the same. Dong Yu's body is being crushed down by the weight of the earth.

Currently Dong Yu is screaming at a stone statue. A stone statue with an undetermined weight.

There was only one technique that Yijun could use at that moment, a technique that she didn't fully understand.

The Earth Reborned technique. If Dong Yu has heard that, he would surely has laughed at her. It was a technique from a lower continent, surely that mean it was not as profound as the techniques that could be found on this continent.

However, it was exactly with that technique that Yijun restores her youth and break through to the Cloud Forming Realm, even if it was trash, it was among the upper class trash. More importantly, Yijun has done a lot of research.

It was said that the previous master of the Earth Reborned Technique has ascended.

Like a junior stepping on the path of the forebear, Yijun has a lot of respect for the previous master of the Earth Reborned Technique. Seeing that there was another world above, she believes that that senior must be a terrifying master on the path of the Dao and wish to seek him out when the time come. And because of that-

"How could the technique of my senior be weak!" She yells at Dong Yu.

The man currently being crushed by a terrifying weight shifts his balance, he tries to get Yijun off his back, but it was not possible.

This mountain was where the Earth element is at its strongest, once upon a time it would have been the ideal place for Yijun to cultivate. But now, she just absorb the earth energy from the earth to increase her weight. At this moment, it was like Dong Yu was carrying the whole mountain.

However, no plan survive contact with the enemy. Seeing at the persistence at which Yijun clings to him, Dong Yu turns his fist on himself. With a mighty blow, he punches his own chest, the force passes straight through his body, pushing at Yijun, knocking her off. Even if it was a strange technique, turning into a stone statue as heavy as a mountain, comparing their cultivation, Dong Yu was clearly the superior. Now that he has turned it into a battle that does not favor Yijun, it could only mean deat-

The statue, upon touching the earth, starts to be submerged into the earth, leaving the heaven net behind.

Yijun runs like hell, trying to find whatever his name is in the Heavenly Sword Sect for protection, silently thanking the random chance that let her utilize her technique.

At that moment, there was a System message that she did not notice.

It was from Celestial Statue.

"Stone Chakravatin: ..."
