Chapter 81: Heaven Swallowing Sparrow

It could be said that with this thing, Ye Qiu only needed to enter seclusion for a period of time and he would definitely be able to break through to the Paragon realm and successfully form a Supreme body.

As long as one had a Supreme Body, they could still be reconstructed no matter how serious their injuries were, even if their limbs were broken.

This was a watershed between the mortal body and the Supreme body.

However, Ye Qiu didn’t plan on breaking through now because he could vaguely sense that there would definitely be changes in the next few days.

“Storm Pear Blossom Needles! Hmm… This is a good thing, but I won’t need it for the time being. I’ll keep it for now.”

Ye Qiu took out the Storm Pear Blossom Needles from the system storage and weighed it in his hand before putting it into his storage jade.

There were a total of twelve Storm Pear Blossom Needles. This was not a hidden weapon of the Tang Sect, nor was it poisonous. It was a true Connate numinous treasure.

It was born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and possessed absolute lethality. Once it was activated, it could ignore any astral energy barrier and physical defense to stab the needle into the other party’s body.

Once it entered the other party’s body, it could directly detonate from the inside and disintegrate all the other party’s defenses.

This thing was suitable for dealing with barbarian cultivators who tempered their bodies and some vicious beasts with powerful defense.

He had to personally test the exact effects.

In the next few days, Violet Cloud Peak regained its former peace.

Lin Qingzhu went to Violet Cloud Cave to cultivate in seclusion. Zhao Wan’er also hid in her room every day to cultivate. Everything seemed exceptionally quiet.

On this day, Ye Qiu left Violet Cloud Peak and headed to the Jade Pure Hall to hold a meeting.

In the main hall, Meng Tianzheng had a solemn expression. He looked at the letter in his hand and fell into deep thought.

“Sect Master, what happened? Why did you call us over in such a hurry?” Qi Wuhui asked with a puzzled expression. Ever since that day, he had changed. He was no longer as arrogant as before. He became humble and reserved. He was no longer as arrogant and smug as before.

This sudden change really surprised the other masters.

Everyone understood that all his changes came from one person, Ye Qiu.

However, the person in question seemed to be quite calm as if nothing had happened. He sat there silently and did not say a word.

Meng Tianzheng looked around at everyone and said earnestly, “This morning, Qingfeng sent news from the foot of the mountain that… a few primordial descendants suddenly appeared at dawn yesterday.

“It was as if they were fighting over some mountain treasure. The battle caused the heavens to collapse and the earth to crack. The entire wasteland was in chaos and the people were struggling to survive.

“The flames of war spread outside Guangling City. All the villages scattered in the vast wilderness were killed without exception. Only a few villages that were further away retreated in time to avoid the calamity.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place fell silent.

“Damn it! What kind of descendant is this? How dare he kill our people?” Ming Yue clenched her fists and said angrily.

Apart from anger, they were also very curious. What kind of mountain treasure could attract the attention of these giant beasts? It could be seen that this treasure was extremely precious to be able to lure them out.

Meng Tianzheng shook his head and said, “I heard that someone only saw a divine bird burning with flames above the sea of flames. It’s huge and extremely fast. According to the description, it should be a Heaven Swallowing Sparrow…”

“What?”

“Heaven Swallowing Sparrow…”

Everyone fell silent again.

This was a huge bird with a fierce reputation. It devoured everything and was notorious.

It had once eaten thousands of people in one bite. Its cultivation was at least at the peak of the Cardinal realm. Perhaps, it had already reached the Paragon realm.

There was once a period of time when it was expelled into the uninhabited region by Daoist Xuantian alone with a sword. It did not appear for a long time.

Unexpectedly, it appeared again this time.

Ye Qiu suddenly became interested after hearing about the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow. Back then, his master seemed to have mentioned this huge bird to him. He had said that the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow’s strength was extraordinary. Even though it was only at the peak of the Cardinal realm back then, it was not weaker than an early-stage Paragon.

Moreover, it was extremely fast and cunning. Once it realized that its opponent was too strong, it would fly away and not bother with him.

Back then, Daoist Xuantian could only expel it and not kill it completely.

“So, Senior Brother, why did you call us here?” Qi Wuhui roughly understood, but he still asked, wanting to hear Meng Tianzheng’s specific thoughts.

Meng Tianzheng calmed down, put down his hands, and said, “I’m afraid the foot of the mountain is already a mess. We cultivators are blessed by the heavens and enjoy the providence of the world. We shouldn’t sit back and watch.

“Back then, Martial Uncle Xuantian once shouldered the heavy responsibility of the survival of the Eastern Wasteland’s human race alone and blocked the myriad races from the natural chasm.

“Now that Martial Uncle Xuantian has passed away, we should shoulder this heavy responsibility.

“Junior Brothers and Sisters, what do you think?”

Their hearts trembled when everyone heard this. It was as if they had returned to the war between the myriad races back then, and their blood surged. Although many of them did not participate in that battle, most of them had heard their elders mention it.

Qi Wuhui laughed and stood up. “We can’t say no. What’s there to fear? What Martial Uncle could do back then, we can also do it.”

“Well said.” This was the first time Yang Wudi acknowledged Qi Wuhui from the bottom of his heart. He said with a loud voice, “Isn’t it just a Heaven Swallowing Sparrow? Let’s do it.”

Ming Yue smiled and said, “Senior Brother, give the order. As long as you give the order, the entire sect will be at your disposal.”

At this moment, Meng Tianzheng truly felt the unity of the Heaven Mending Sect. Before anything happened, they fought until their heads were bleeding. No one was willing to submit to the other. However, when they encountered threats from the outside world, they were brothers and sisters.

This was one of the reasons why the Heaven Mending Sect could stand tall for so many years without falling and maintain its peak state.

Meng Tianzheng looked at them with relief. He subconsciously glanced at the corner and looked at his junior brother who had not spoken. “Junior Brother Ye, what do you think?”

Ye Qiu was stunned. This was the first time he had heard Meng Tianzheng take the initiative to ask for his opinion. He was a little surprised. All along, he had been the one being ignored. He was already used to it because of his strength.

But his strength now was already on par with Meng Tianzheng, and he even had a tendency to surpass him.

Gradually, there was a place for Ye Qiu in the hearts of the various peak masters. They began to ask for his opinion.

Well, that was a good start.

Even Qi Wuhui had gradually started to let go after the previous incident. He no longer had his usual eccentricity.

Ye Qiu only smiled and said upon Meng Tianzheng’s question, “Senior Brother, you can decide. I have no objections. That Heaven Swallowing Sparrow seemed to be quite fated with my Violet Cloud Peak. Hmm… Perhaps it’s fate. Since it’s here, I’ll personally go and meet it since my master didn’t fulfill his wish back then.”

Everyone’s hearts trembled and their eyes were filled with admiration upon hearing Ye Qiu’s words.

Everyone knew how powerful the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow was. However, their youngest junior brother didn’t seem to be that simple.

From beginning to end, none of them had truly seen his true strength, nor did they know his limit. Even Meng Tianzheng himself didn’t have the confidence to defeat Ye Qiu.

His words could be said to have stabilized the morale of the army.

“Haha, alright… I was waiting for you to say that.” Meng Tianzheng laughed like an old man and said, “Same old rules. You guys act separately and investigate the whereabouts of the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow.

“Remember, the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow is powerful. Unless there was no other choice, you should not rashly advance and must send out a signal immediately. We aren’t the only ones besieging the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow this time. There were also experts from the other famous holy lands. They would rush over when they saw the signal.

“At that time, everyone will attack together and suppress it. The chances of success will be higher.”

Everyone responded in unison. “Understood.”

“Alright, go back and prepare.”
