Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 331. Shocking the Cosmos, Returning to the Ancestral Ground of Daoism Again

In the starry expanse beyond Earth, warships drifted one after another, divine islands floated in clusters, and vast palaces radiated boundless light, as though they sought to illuminate the entire dark universe.

Waves of mighty power surged unceasingly within the cosmos. At this moment, the region beyond Earth resembled a scene out of myth, utterly unlike the old era.

These were beings from the Outer Cosmos who had descended, though some of them, being too powerful in themselves, were still restricted by the power of Separation of Heaven and Earth. But given enough time, they would be able to descend directly onto Earth.

Yet at this very moment, one piece of news shocked all the Outer-Cosmos beings.

Lei Xiao of the Celestials, Yu Heng of the Eternals, along with over a hundred Sages from various races, had all been slain while entering the Immortal Cave. And the one who had acted was none other than Lu Yuan, the very human who had already become a throbbing headache for them.

Instantly, every race involved in the matter was enraged.

"This human Lu Yuan is truly far too arrogant. He even dared kill members of our race."

"Indeed. Our race bore him no grudge, yet he killed them without mercy. He must pay for it!"

"Once the power of Separation of Heaven and Earth weakens again, we must stop hesitating. We will join hands and kill him outright. There is no need for restraint."

One voice after another rang out across that stretch of starry skies. They were consumed with fury; even some of the nearby meteorites trembled from the force of their anger.

And those who spoke were all, without exception, existences who had already reached the Great Sage Realm, each overflowing with killing intent.

There was no helping it. The clansmen they had sent, Sages at that, had all been slain by Lu Yuan.

That drove these great figures into a fury. If not for the fear of being suppressed, they would likely have chosen to descend immediately.

Of course, they all understood that the wait would not be long.

Lu Yuan's existence alone had already given them a headache. They could no longer rely on their subordinates to fully conquer this world. After all, no one had expected a figure like him to emerge from the Milky Way Starfield.

And now, with this new enmity added on top of everything else, the Great Sages of the various clans had finally reached the limit of their patience.

They had already agreed that the moment they descended, the very first thing they would do was to kill Lu Yuan.

But before that, they intended to take revenge first.

Lu Yuan was indeed powerful.

For the time being, the various clans and races had no way of dealing with him. But that did not mean every human in the Milky Way Starfield was equally strong.

Were there not the so-called Five Supercities?

A blood debt had to be repaid in blood.

And so, the various clans were already making plans to collect part of that debt first.

Meanwhile, within a great hall in the starry sky...

"I didn't expect Lu Yuan to have already entered the Sage Realm. And he's even a Lesser Sage?" a woman said. It was Zhou Yunqiong, whose body had already been reconstructed. Her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

She could not understand how he had managed to reach this level in such a short time. Even Zhou Yunqiong herself had only reached the Lesser Sage Realm not long ago with Ji Clan's help.

She had relied on all kinds of resources as well as the Ji Clan's top-tier breathing techniques and visualization methods.

What did Lu Yuan have?

Unconsciously, Zhou Yunqiong began to feel that her hope of taking revenge had diminished by quite a bit.

"It really is beyond expectation. This Lu Yuan has no special bloodline in his ancestry, nor has he awakened any particularly powerful force, yet he has already reached the Lesser Sage Realm at this stage. If this continues, he is bound to become a serious threat. He cannot be left alive any longer," Ji Hongyu spoke as well, clearly astonished.

He considered Lu Yuan a rare talent.

Unfortunately, that higher authority above had already issued a kill-on-sight order against him. Under such circumstances, Ji Hongyu had no choice but to act as well.

With that thought, he rose to his feet and looked toward Zhou Yunqiong.

"Miss Yunqiong, the power of Separation of Heaven and Earth is steadily weakening. It is time for us to start finding a way to descend. That existence will arrive soon as well, so we must make preparations in advance.

"And Lu Yuan can no longer be allowed to remain alive. This time, we'll act ourselves and avenge you while we're at it."

Lu Yuan reaching the Lesser Sage Realm had already gone beyond all expectations. If this continued, then he would inevitably become a Great Sage, perhaps even an immortal in the future.

If that happened, dealing with him would become far more troublesome. Right now was the perfect opportunity.

"You'll be joining forces with me?" Hearing this, delight immediately surfaced in Zhou Yunqiong's eyes.

She knew very well that Ji Hongyu before her was a Ranker. Both his realm and combat strength were extremely high. Under such circumstances, if he joined forces with several others and herself, killing Lu Yuan might still be difficult, but they would absolutely stand the chance.

Besides, they still had trump cards up their sleeves.

"Of course." Ji Hongyu smiled and looked toward distant Earth. After a moment's thought, he continued, "In about half a month."

He was very powerful and could see many things clearly. On top of that, he also possessed the Ji Clan's secret arts.

"Good." Upon hearing that, Zhou Yunqiong smiled as well.

She already hated Lu Yuan to the bone. If given the chance to kill him, she would not hesitate in the slightest.

She understood very clearly in her heart that, aside from herself, there were many others among the cosmos who also wanted Lu Yuan dead.

***

Several days later, on Mount Tai, Lu Yuan emerged from seclusion. He had adjusted every aspect of himself back to peak condition.

During that time, he had also checked on Zhu Qingyu and the others' cultivation. They were indeed very good.

But this time, there was a more important reason for his emergence from seclusion; he needed to leave Mount Tai for a while.

But before he could depart, Jiang Ningxian came seeking him.

"You want to head out with me?"

After hearing her explanation, Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback, then smiled. "Do you even know what I'm going out to do?"

"No," Jiang Ningxian said, two dimples appearing on her face as she smiled. "But I've been in seclusion this whole time lately. I'm already sick of it. I might as well go out for a walk."

It was obvious she had already made up her mind.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan could only nod helplessly. "All right. No problem."

The place he was going this time was somewhat dangerous. But for Jiang Ningxian, it was nothing at all. Besides, this trip was not some great secret, so bringing her along did not matter.

The two of them said nothing more. They simply tore open the void and left.

That was one of the advantages of reaching the Sage Realm.

There was no need for elaborate preparations anymore. Wherever one wished to go, one could go. If one truly wanted, even heading straight into the universe was no problem.

Some time later, the two of them arrived at their destination.

Standing high in the air, Jiang Ningxian looked down at the mountains below, and a trace of surprise immediately flickered in her eyes.

Peak after peak rose straight into the clouds. Of course, that alone was nothing remarkable. After the arrival of the new era, such sights could be found everywhere.

What truly astonished her was the phenomenon unfolding there.

Streams of radiant light surged into the heavens and those lights were accompanied by immensely powerful might. Before her eyes, they directly transformed into the forms of a dragon and a tiger, locked in combat in a wondrous scene.

Anyone could tell that this was no ordinary land.

After observing for a moment, Jiang Ningxian turned to Lu Yuan beside her.

Unable to hide her surprise, she asked, "Mount Hulong? The Ancestral Ground of Daoism?"
