Chapter 60 : The Final War Part 3

Liu Xiao raised his eyes the demon lizardman far away from them. The lizardman's tail wagged as he spoke with a proud voice.

The beautiful mythical bird, Huangtian, followed Liu Xiao's orders without hesitation and it let out a loud soaring roar as he leap down to the lizardman's direction. Because Huangtian shrunk itself into a size of a human earlier, the mythical bird was not noticed by people around.

The lizardman raised his spear but Huangtian's sharp claws were fast enough to slash his hands, making him shriek loudly and kneel to the ground while the lizardman stared at his hand that was cut. Huangtian took this as an opportunity to land on infront of the lizardman and burned him mercilessly.

Liu Xiao sneered to the mythical bird.

The beautiful mythical bird only opened it's beak slightly and ignored him after, as if the mythical bird was mocking him. Liu Xiao stared dumbfounded at Huangtian who soared to the sky again, his mouth hanged wide open.

The mythical bird continued to ignore him as it continued to burn and slash every demon on sight. Liu Xiao felt the warm nd comfortable feeling on his thighs disappeared and lowered his gaze to see that Wu Qingge had already withdrew his hands and the bite wounds on his thighs were completely gone.

Liu Xiao oh-ed as he stared at his own thighs. Even the mosquito bites are gone! How convenient!

Chen Yi and the others were still not seen but a few cultivators were seen fighting the demons, the others were winning and the others were losing. Liu Xiao grabbed the hem of Wu Qingge's sleeves as he continued to go inside the floating palace.

Wu Qingge followed him from behind and let him drag him from rooms to rooms of the floating palace. The places were either crazy demons or demons eating humans, they were all burned and slashed by Huangtian. Liu Xiao looked around the once beautiful floating palace that was now filled with red thick miasma and demons lurking around the crystallized palace.

Liu Xiao said.

Wu Qingge replied,

Liu Xiao asked,

Wu Qingge answered,

Liu Xiao frowned and replied,

All of a sudden, a black lotus flower went out of Wu Qingge's body and floated around them, gradually transforming into an elder man dressed in black and red smoke with his white hair and colorless eyes.

Liu Xiao nodded but he was still bewildered. "

The elder laughed and later his pale face soured.

Liu Xiao:

The elder replied as they continued to walk around inside the floating palace.

Liu Xiao raised his eyes.

The elder answered,

Liu Xiao staggered and spoke,

The elder nodded and replied,

Aren't you evil yourself.... Liu Xiao cleared his throat and asked again.

Elder:

Liu Xiao nodded. So that's why Wu Qingge was trapped inside the underworld for a long time after he became the demon king. There must've been an error because the Heart of the Nether still existed and he must've cultivated pass the demon king's strength so that the underworld gates will recognize him as the new king.

The elder continued to explain.

Liu Xiao nodded.

The elder spoke again,

Liu Xiao frowned.

Wu Qingge was the one who answered as he supported Liu Xiao who was bout to trip on some random crystal debris.

Liu Xiao was astounded.

The elder nodded and replied,

Liu Xiao glanced at Wu Qingge with a worried face.

Wu Qingge chuckled and shook his head.

Liu Xiao tilted his head in confusion.

Elder:

Liu Xiao:

The elder sighed and killed the demon who was about to approach on their direction with a wave of his sleeve.

All of a sudden, the jewel on Liu Xiao's forehead radiated an orange glow and his granpa emerged from his body.

Liu Xiao's mind was like a mess right now. His granpa continued to yell,

Hundreds of years ago, there were three renowned cultivators in the cultivation world. Their names and figures soared high through the skies, standing high and proud above them all. It was the Darling of the Heavens, The Genius Mount Hua Peak Master and the Legendary Wanderer.

The Darling of the Heavens was the prince of the Yong'an empire and he gained immortality in the age of nineteen. His cultivation was high and his name can even bring miracle to people. After his parents died, he cut ties with the Yong'an Empire and decided to we a wandering traveler and also the only disciple of the elder who built the Floating palace that was once made by jade and gold.

The Genius Mount Hua Peak Master was a son of a bastard man and a lunatic woman who established the Mount Hua Peak. When his mother was once sane, she loved flowers and knew every single functions and differences of them so he learned from his mother. He made all different types of flower-type cultivations and he is the one who made the idea of planting a normal flowers around his peak and watering it using a water full of rich spiritual qi.

The last one who was the Legendary Wanderer, was the cultivator who spread the Legend of the Sea Kings. He was not known to be a powerful cultivator but he was known to be the only person who was able to see the three Sea Kings so people always looked up to him. He wanders to places and places and was a humble person who always eliminate demons with no price for an exchange and he always put up barriers on towns before going on to different places so people always called him Gongzi.

( Gongzi is an honorific title for people who is highly respected by everyone. )

When the three of them met at the Cultivation Meeting Alliance at the Jade Palace of the Baiyuing Sect, they didn't have a good impression on each other. The three of them all fought and almost destroyed the jade palace at the first day of the Cultivation Meeting Alliance, and so the elders decided to punish them by grounding them together at the Youzui Manor of the Baiyuing Sect for three months.

( Youzui means sinned in chinese. )

The three renowned cultivators were always fighting, yelling at each other, making schemes and many more absurd things that even tye elder get fed up to them and decided to ground then for one year. The more times passes of them together sleeping in the same bed as a young adults, eating together at the same small table and bathing together at the hot springs, the three of them gradually get to know each other and became friends.

The three of them fought demons together, understood each other's tastes on people and saw each other's ugly sides. The three of the became brothers that even their own blood related relatives won't be able to split them apart. As the days goes by, the three of them grew older and older as they achieved many things in life.

The Darling of The Heavens who was the only disciple of the floating palace master took over the floating palace as a heir after his Master died, The Genius Mount Hua Peak Master did a self seclusion and studied demonic arts of cultivation to imrove his spiritual qi and the Legendary Wanderer was ridiculed by everyone for spreading the false legend of the Sea Kings.

The Legendary Wanderer paid no mind on everyone but he is actually very furious inside because if everyone ridiculing his title and oast achievements so he also decided to do a self seclusion and went to a closed door cultivation. The Genius Mount Hua Peak Master then discovered the Black Lotus cultivation and participated at the attack of the demon king that was let loose by the Legendary Wanderer because he wanted to kill the mortals who were ridiculing him.

The Darling of the Heavens joined the Genius Mount Hua Peak Master without knowing who let out the demon king on the underworld gate. After the Genius Mount Hua Peak Master defeated the demon king and sealed him and the Darling of the heavens protected the mortals, they were also called as Gongzi after.

After the Legendary Wanderer finished his closed door cultivation, the Genius Mount Hua Peak Master went insane and killed everyone on sight by sucking out their spiritual qi out of their bodies. The war happened at the Shen Hua Mountain where the Genius Mount Hua Peak's mother lived.

The truth was the Legendary Wanderer was always envious of the two because the two achieved better things in their life while he only spreaded such stories and put barriers on people without exchange. He waa feeling angered, insulted and envious at the same time while he was being with the two as they got older and older and he becane more enlightened at the cultivation world.

The Legendary Wanderer went out of his seclusion, sneakily went to the Shen Hua Mountain and assasinated the two just because of his shallow anger. He took credit of killing the Genius Mount Hua Peak Master who succumbed to demon cultivation and stole the Heart of the Nether and also took over the floating palace after the Darling of the Heavens died.

The loyal people of the Darling Of the Heavens didn't want him to be the new Master so the Legendary Wanderer, with bis crystal attribute cultivation, killed all those people and put them at the Shen Jing Mine and also used the Darling of the Heaven's spiritual core as a food for those living crystals.
