Chapter 2199 - Bookworm and Moha

Chapter 2199: Bookworm and Moha

The bamboo valley was a quiet and peaceful place in the imperial city. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers and was overgrown with bamboo. From Afar, it looked like a beautiful painting.

The Rainbow Pavilion was located in the bamboo valley. It was far away from the hustle and bustle of the mortal world, and very few people came.

The Rainbow Pavilion had existed for 100,000 years, and it has always stood upright despite the changes in the world.

In the past, Master Fangcun, Saint Monk Xumi’s eldest disciple, had left behind all sorts of techniques in the Rainbow Pavilion. The dimensional teleportation array that he had set up to the location of the Saturn Peach Tree was guarded by the Nalan family for generations.

Only the blood from the direct descendants of the Nalan family could activate the dimensional teleportation array.

Emperor Wen had been doing this before Kunlun became a Battlefield of Merits.

Emperor Wen had no choice but to leave Kunlun because he was a Supreme Saint. Thus, Divine Scripture Maiden should have inherited the guardianship of the Saturn Peach Tree.

However, the imperial court had many matters to attend to, and Divine Scripture Maiden couldn’t leave. Hence, she invited two Re-Awakeners of the Path of Confucianism to take on this important task.

These two were known as Bookworm and Twit.

As for their real names, no one knew them.

Bookworm and Twit had extremely shocking identities. They were the remaining two disciples of the last Confucius forefathers of the Path of Confucianism and had received the true inheritance of the Confucius forefathers.

The two of them had to be addressed as Grandmasters by the later generations of disciples of the Path of Confucianism.

The Path of Confucianism had a long history, and its foundations were unfathomable. Many of the Path of Confucianism’s deities were born in the past. There were even four Confucius forefathers who stood at the pinnacles.

It was rumored that Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations was the third disciple of the Confucius forefathers, and had learned Confucianism’s structure, cultivating both Martial Arts and spiritual power to the extreme.

The Rainbow Pavilion wasn’t just an ordinary pavilion. It contained a universe and was incomparably vast. It had an extremely large Microworld that was isolated from the outside world. The Saint Qi of heaven and earth was extremely dense and the Precepts of heaven and earth were extremely active. It was a rare cultivation spot.

In a wide-open space, countless books piled up into two tall mountains of books. Two figures sat cross-legged on top of the mountains of books and were very engrossed in flipping through the books.

They were Bookworm and Twit, the Re-Awakerners of the Path of Confucianism.

Bookworm wore traditional robes and looked very young. He combed his hair into a bun, and he looked exactly like a scholar. He held a book in his hand and shook his head while he enjoyed his reading.

“Studying the time between heaven and man, connecting with the changes of the past and the present. Not too shabby. This essay was well written and such a wondrous piece of literature!”

…

On the other hand, Twit looked like a middle-aged man. He was slightly chubby, his hair was messy, and his face was full of stubble. He looked very unkempt.

Twit buried his head and read the book word by word as if he was more focused than Bookworm.

Bookworm and Twit were competing to see who could finish the last 100,000 years of Kunlun’s history books first.

As the Saint King of Confucianism, they could just use their spiritual power and scan the contents of all the books very quickly. However, the two of them were very patient and wanted to read slowly like ordinary folks.

Suddenly, Bookworm raised his head and sensed an intense spatial fluctuation within the Rainbow Pavilion.

The space shattered and a deep hole appeared. It was connected to the void.

An ancient bridge appeared and stretched across the void. It was unknown where it had come from, but it had been stretched to the Rainbow Pavilion.

On the bridge stood figures of various shapes and sizes. Some were only 150 meters tall, while others were a thousand meters tall.

“Isn’t it great to have friends come from afar?” Bookworm said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, a dense evil aura emerged from the hole.

Bookworm’s expression froze as he pointed in that direction and said, “Not good. It’s not a friend, but the aura of the Infernal Court. I shall take a closer look. How did the creatures of the Infernal Court appear in the Rainbow Pavilion?”

“It’s the Voidbridge of Chaos. The creatures of the Infernal Court are forcing their way in. Twit, bad news, bad news!”

Twit ignored him. He continued to twirl his beard and immerse himself in the book.

“Myriad Words Soldiers.” Bookworm was forced to make his move and chanted.

He shook his hand, and all the words on the book fell off and flew out. They turned into the image of a thousand soldiers and horses as they charged toward the spatial hole.

The Myriad Words Soldiers was an extraordinary method of Confucianism.

BOOM!

All the evil aura vanished in an instant.

Then, the shadows of thousands of soldiers and horses rushed into the spatial hole and forcefully suppressed a figure who had just walked down from the ancient bridge.

“Haha, even a scholar from Kunlun can beat you back. It seems that your strength is far from enough to challenge Zhang Ruochen, Jadesky Bone Emperor.” Another burly figure laughed and crossed the Voidbridge of Chaos and came over.

A deep snort came from the void. “Yan Wushen, you’d better not underestimate that scholar. His power is extraordinary.”

“Just because you were incapable doesn’t mean others were the same. Watch how I broke his Myriad Words Soldiers,” said Yan Wushen

Yan Wushen strode forward to meet the illusory army formed by the words. The five fingers of his right hand turned into a huge golden palm. His three meters long golden body was activated and easily wiped out the illusory army.

Then, he took a step forward. He ignored all obstacles and forcefully descended into the Rainbow Pavilion.

Boom

When his feet landed on the ground, the entire Rainbow Pavilion trembled.

Yan Wushen had completely fused both his good and evil sides after refining the Yin-Yang Equinox Flower. He had reached his pinnacle state and attained supremacy.

Bookworm was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that there would be a living being below the Supreme Saint that could break his technique.

Dozens of creatures from the Infernal Court walked down from the Voidbridge of Chaos and followed closely behind Yan Wushen. They stepped through the spatial hole and landed in the Rainbow Pavilion.

They all emitted a powerful aura that suppressed the world. Any one of them could shake the heavens and all realms. They were the elites of the ten clans of the Infernal Court.

However, the moment they landed, they triggered the spatial formation left behind by Master Fangcun in the Rainbow Pavilion.

Whoosh

Yan Wushen let out a soft exclamation of surprise. The surrounding space rapidly contracted and transformed into a spatial cage.

The spatial cage was like a bubble with a diameter of 300 meters. However, at the edge of it were interwoven chains formed by the Power of Dimension.

Besides Yan Wushen, other Infernal Court cultivators were trapped by the spatial cage as well.

Dozens of space cages appeared at the same time, locking up the cultivators of the Infernal Court in different places.

“Interesting. It turns out that the predecessor of Kunlun had already made arrangements to guard against us,” said Yan Wushen.

Yan Wushen didn’t panic at all. He stretched out a finger and gently pointed at the chains at the edge of the space cages.

The chains trembled and made a “Crash” sound.

The space cage rapidly contracted, and the space inside became twice as small.

“It’s best if everyone doesn’t touch those chains. Be careful not to be crushed into dust by the power of the space cage,” Yan Wushen said.

“The Confucius forefathers once said that peace and harmony is a priority in all matters. Reckless fighting and killing only bring forth harm,” Bookworm said.

A Six-Tribulation Ghost Lord stood in the space cage and said coldly, “Are you mocking us now?”

“No! No! What I meant was, it is best not to fight at all. Return from whence you came. This is not a place for you,” Bookworm said patiently.

The elites of the Infernal Court felt that Bookworm was humiliating them even more.

They had all used the space cage to trap them, but they were talking sarcastically from their side. What would it be if it was not humiliation?

Besides, was there any room for reconciliation between the Infernal Court and Kunlun?

“I will be the first to devour your Saint Soul when I broke out from this stupid cage,” said Six-Tribulation Ghost Lord.

His body became bigger and bigger. In the end, he reached a height of 300 meters and pressed his hands out, causing the space cage to shake violently.

“I think you’d better stay in!” said Bookworm.

Bookworm moved and flew to the top of the space cage.

“With the energy from heaven and earth, all shapes and sizes shall take form. Rivers and mountains shall form below, as the sun and stars were formed above.”

Booked began to chant the lines from Righteous Morality Scripture.

Immediately, a bright white light emitted from Bookworm and turned into a majestic righteous Qi.

The righteous Qi surged into the space bubble in front of him and formed mountains and rivers below. The Sun, moon, and stars filled the sky above.

The attack was aimed at Six-Tribulation Ghost Lord inside the spatial bubble.

As the disciple of the Confucius forefathers, Bookworm’s enlightenment of the Path of Confucianism had reached an unimaginable level.

With regards to the use of the righteous Qi, even many Supreme Saints of the Path of Confucianism might not be able to compare to him.

Six-Tribulation Ghost Lord, who was trapped inside the spatial bubble, was called Lan Xuezi. He had cultivated a very powerful Malefico Astral Form and was no weaker than a perfected physical being.

However, Six-Tribulation Ghost Lord was in big trouble at this moment.

The great righteous energy was extremely hot as if it wanted to incinerate all of his Ghost Qi.

Lan Xuezi’s astral form was forced to return to its original size. He took out an Astral Saber, a powerful Immaterial Artifact. Hundreds of thousands of strange Regal-level inscriptions appeared on the saber.

Immaterial Artifacts were battle weapons refined with the special techniques of the Ghost. They were the most compatible with the Ghost and could greatly increase the battle strength of the Ghost cultivator.

Each Immaterial Artifact needed to be sent to the Fane of Ghost. After a special purification, it could finally be made into a weapon. Therefore, it was very precious.

The Fane of Ghost was the supreme fane of the Ghost. It has existed since ancient times. All the Ghost were proud of being able to enter the Fane of Ghost to cultivate.

Lan Xuezi was a genius that the Fane of Ghost had carefully nurtured. He cultivated the Path of Heaven that was unique to the Ghost.

The ten clans of Infernal Court had their fanes. They inherited the Path of Heaven that was different from the Celestial Court’s Path of Heaven. It was comparable to the Path of Supreme Saint or even the Path of the Ancients.

However, cultivating these Paths of Heaven was not an easy task and not everyone could do it. Only a few people could pass the selection and enter the ten fanes to cultivate.

Lan Xuezi cultivated the Malefico Path of Heaven, one of the three Paths of Heaven of the Ghost. He used it to cultivate the Malefico Astral Form and make it extremely difficult to destroy.

Lan Xuezi waved the Astral Saber in his hand and continuously poured Malefico Ghost Qi into it. He slashed out a sharp and powerful blade ray.

Swoosh

This slash cut off the river formed from the great righteous Qi and shattered the mountains.

Bookworm was neither too fast nor too slow. He formed a hand seal and said, “When it reaches the sun and moon, life and death are at peace.”

A blazing sun and a bright moon appeared at the same time. They lit up the entire world and ignited all of the Malefico Ghost Qi.

Bang

Lan Xuezi was struck by the sun and moon and was sent flying instantly.

Many cracks appeared on his incomparably tough astral body, and it almost shattered.

He was severely injured after the attack. The Malefico Ghost Qi scattered, and he was unable to gather it again for a moment.

It was not that Lan Xuezi was not strong enough, but that he just happened to be restrained by the Power of Confucianism.

Rumble

Just as Bookworm was about to attack again, one of the spatial cages suddenly shattered. The tall and sturdy Yan Wushen broke free.

“What a good scholar. You have real talent. Take this palm of mine.”

Yan Wushen turned into a ray of golden light and arrived in an instant.

A golden palm that carried unparalleled power directly slapped towards the Bookworm.

Bookworm was shocked and he did not expect Yan Wushen to be able to break free so quickly.

After all, the dimensional technique here was set up by Master Fangcun. It was extremely exquisite. Even if it had been 100,000 years, it was not something that a Saint King realm cultivator could easily breakthrough.

There was no time to think. Bookworm quickly turned around and used all his strength to create a massive fist print that shattered the vacuum.

Ever since Yan Wushen was able to break through his Myriad Words Soldiers and forcefully arrive at the Rainbow Pavilion, he had already realized how terrifying Yan Wushen was. Naturally, he did not dare to be careless.

Although Bookworm was a Confucianism cultivator, he cultivated both Martial Arts and spiritual power. Furthermore, they had both reached the pinnacle of the Saint King realm and were about to form the Neverwither physique.

Bang

The fist that Bookworm punched out was shattered by Yan Wushen’s golden hand instantly.

Then, a powerful force bombarded Bookworm and sent him flying.

Puff

Bookworm spat out a large mouthful of Saint Blood. His breath became very unstable.

‘How can he be so powerful? And he’s a Saint King?’ Bookworm was shocked.

After sleeping for ten myriads, he felt that he couldn’t understand this world.

Even in the Middle Ages, there wasn’t a monstrous genius as terrifying as Yan Wushen.

Yan Wushen smiled and said, “To be able to take my palm and not die, you are quite of something. I didn’t expect there to be another master like you in Kunlun besides Zhang Ruochen.”

With his current strength, even an ordinary Supreme Saint could not take his palm. Anyone below the Supreme Saint could almost be invincible.

“The Confucius forefathers once said, there is always someone better than you. There is truth within his words. I thought I couldn’t find an opponent below the Supreme Saint, but I didn’t expect someone to be so much stronger than me.” Bookworm said with a stiff face.

Yan Wushen said, “I’ll give you a chance. If you join the Infernal Court, I can spare your life.”

Unexpectedly, Bookworm shook his head hard and said with a serious face, “The Confucius forefathers once said that there are dos and don’ts for every man. Kunlun is the most important place. One’s life and death are the least important. If one is born to defend the path, he will die without regrets.’”

“I’m not here to listen to your reasoning. Since you don’t want to cherish the opportunity, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Yan Wushen raised his eyebrows and emitted an extremely powerful aura.

Bookworm said, “A gentleman’s work is the foundation of his path. Filial piety is the foundation of benevolence.”

“What a bookworm. He’s chattering non-stop and mumbling something. I don’t understand at all.” Yan Wushen said impatiently.

He immediately attacked again, pouring power into the gauntlet. The gauntlet emitted a resplendent golden light, and a large number of supreme inscriptions appeared. Vigorous Supreme Power surged out.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Wushen had also thrown over a hundred punches. The sky was filled with majestic fist seals. They were like numerous ancient divine mountains, completely enveloping Bookworm.

Bookworm hurriedly released his powerful spiritual power, activating the dense array patterns within the Rainbow Pavilion. He wanted to rely on the power of the array formation to block Yan Wushen’s attack.

With his condensed spiritual power, a large number of array patterns were activated in the blink of an eye. They appeared and interwoven into a net, wanting to seal this space.

Bang

Yan Wushen’s fist was too overbearing. The formation patterns were unable to seal it and shattered instantly.

Bookworm tried his best to block, but his defense failed. He was sent flying like a cannonball.

Even though his saint physique was extremely powerful, many cracks began to surface at this moment. He was almost smashed into pieces by Yan Wushen’s attack.

“Twit, aren’t you going to make a move?”

Bookworm was anxious and shouted at Twit.

Twit did not even raise his head. He stretched out a hand and said impatiently, “Don’t be noisy. Don’t disturb me when I’m reading.”

His attention had not shifted away from the book since the beginning of the fight. It was as if he did not notice that someone had broken in.

He felt that even if Bookworm was beaten to death, he would not ask about it.

“Why is there another bookworm? Take a palm from me too.”

Yan wushen frowned. His gaze shifted and he glanced at Twit before he raised his hand and struck out.

BOOM!

Hundreds of millions of words appeared on Twit’s body. They converged into a huge cauldron and protected his entire body. However, the mountain of books beneath him exploded and turned into ashes.

Only at this moment did Twit withdraw from the world in the book. His eyes were filled with anger.

“I told you not to disturb me.” Twit roared.

As he roared, the great spirit around him surged violently and quickly condensed into a huge cauldron that was ten thousand feet tall. It spun and crashed towards Yan Wushen.

Yan Wushen let out a soft cry and struck out another golden palm print.

Bang

The golden palm print and the huge cauldron exploded at the same time, forming a terrifying impact force.

Yan Wushen did not move an inch, while Twit took a few steps back. He was not injured.

It was only at this moment that Twit seemed to have woken up. He carefully sized up Yan Wushen and said, “So powerful and he has already perfected his skills. Such a peerless foe exists in this world.”

At this moment, Bookworm rushed over and stood side by side with Twit.

“Twit, looks like we have a more urgent matter on hand. Let’s put the competition aside for now. We have to defend the Rainbow Pavilion and not let them go to the location of the Saturn Peach Tree,” Bookworm said seriously.

Twit’s gaze swept over the dozens of spatial cages and said, “Why are there so many cultivators from the Infernal Court suddenly breaking into the Rainbow Pavilion? How do they know the specific spatial coordinates of the Rainbow Pavilion?”

He had already seen the Voidbridge of Chaos and knew how Yan Wushen and the others had arrived, but he was still very confused.

After all, ever since Kunlun became the Battlefield of Merits, the Rainbow Pavilion had hidden and covered up the spatial coordinates.

Swoosh

Swoosh

The space distorted slightly and the sound of rushing wind could be heard.

Two figures barged into the Rainbow Pavilion from the direction of the Central Imperial City.

These two people were dressed in loose black robes that completely covered their bodies. Their faces could not be seen, nor could their figures be seen. It was impossible to tell if they were male or female, and they did not even emit a single aura.

Furthermore, although they were standing there, it was as if they were in another dimension. It was extremely mysterious.

One of the black-robed figures said in a slightly hoarse voice, “The Voidbridge of Chaos is indeed powerful. It only provided spatial coordinates, yet it enabled us to arrive at the Rainbow Pavilion directly.”

“Who are you people? How did you lock onto the Rainbow Pavilion’s spatial coordinates?” Twit asked.

The black-robed man who spoke just now chuckled. “As long as you want to know, there will naturally be a method. There were clues found on the Grand Chamberlain, Wang Shiqi, and the seven Realm Bearers.”

Both Bookworm and Twit immediately came to a realization. Those two must be the spies of the Infernal Court in the Celestial Court.

Who could it be?

The cultivators of the Heavenly Realm?

“Have you brought the thing?” Yan Wushen asked.

One of the black-robed men said in a low voice, “Of course, we always keep our promises.”

As he spoke, the black-robed man took out a piece of saint jade and threw it at Yan Wushen.

Inside of it was a ball of bright red Saint Blood that was emitting nine-colored saint light. It was a rare sight.

Yan Wushen stretched out a hand and caught the saint jade. A satisfied look appeared in his eyes.

The Saint Blood that was sealed in the jade was the key to opening the dimensional teleportation array. Only by obtaining it could they finally lock onto the exact coordinates of the Saturn Peach Tree.

“Our mission has been completed. The next step will be handed over to you. It’s best if nothing goes wrong,” another black-robed man said in a low voice.

Yan wushen glanced at him and said, “Your worries are completely unnecessary.”

The two black-robed men didn’t say anything else. They immediately used spatial techniques and left the Rainbow Pavilion, returning to the Central Imperial City without a moment’s delay.

“They left quickly. Are they afraid that I’ll kill them?” Yan wushen muttered.

Bang

One spatial cage after another shattered. The dozens of elites from the Infernal Court broke free one after another.

They were the elites carefully selected from the ten clans of the Infernal Court.

A spatial cage that had been around for a long time naturally couldn’t trap them.

Xueluo Ghost Lord, who was severely injured, was the last to break free. His eyes were extremely gloomy. He had suffered a great loss the moment he arrived at the Rainbow Pavilion. If Yan Wushen hadn’t acted in time, he might have already been killed by Bookworm, it was a great humiliation.

Sensing the terrifying aura emitted by the elites of the Infernal Court, the eyes of the Bookworm and Twit could not help but become solemn. The situation was dire now.

It was already difficult to deal with Yan Wushen alone. With the addition of dozens of top Saint Kings of the Infernal Court, how could the two of them stop him?
