Chapter 1931 – Involvement

The grand supreme released the star in his hand and landed on it. Lu Yun didn’t dare show a hint of disrespect to this level of powerhouse. He docilely took his place on the star and directed it to the island.

Since his newfound traveling companion had already discovered the ripples of order from Lu Yun, the young man didn’t bother concealing his abilities. He fully deployed the power of order and broke through the layers of disorder around them, shooting for Disordered Island.

“Tsk tsk tsk little fellow, I wonder who showed you the way here. Most people head straight for the tomb once they enter the Disordered Sea. Only a few come here to wait for the treasure to emerge,” Big Beard chuckled as he watched Lu Yun quietly focus on leading the way.

“A few…” Lu Yun’s lips twitched as he gazed upon their surroundings strewn with limbs. More than ten thousand were dead around them just from what he could see alone, and all of them were grand supremes! How the hell was this a few?!

How many grand supremes were there in the chief worlds??

“Now, don’t dismiss my words. More than one million grand supremes have come to the Disordered Sea and more than ninety percent of them have gone to the tomb. Only approximately one hundred thousand are here,” Big Beard grinned. “But none of the high supremes or genius supremes dare visit the island. You look like you broke through in a hurry and haven’t fully stabilized your cultivation level. What are you doing here?

“Well, you do cultivate order and are very skilled in it. You’re not afraid of the disordered intent at all. Whose disciple are you?”

Big Beard was a chatterbox who didn’t put on the airs of a grand supreme. When Lu Yun didn’t join him in conversation, he carried on perfectly fine by himself. But when he asked about Lu Yun’s background, the young man’s heart skipped a beat.

“No, wait,” Big Beard rebuffed himself as soon as he spoke. “Your talents are superb and your potential wondrous. It’s only a matter of time before you become a grand supreme. If your master is also a grand supreme, he wouldn’t let you rush in here ill-prepared like this.”

Lu Yun relaxed with ease. “You are right, senior. My master isn’t a grand supreme, he’s a high supreme.”

He knew why Big Beard was following him around—the power of order he released could cut through disorder. Although their progress wasn’t that fast, it wasn’t much slower than a grand supreme traveling by himself.

Grand supremes had to expend a great deal of effort to traverse the sea, and Big Beard had just endured a huge fight. He needed to conserve energy and be ready for the next round at any time. More important was this star!

He’d broken the head of another powerful grand supreme with it. Plainly, this star was a mighty treasure as well. With the grand supreme’s abilities, he could tell that this dusty-faced youth had refined this formidable treasure.

While he chit chatted without pause along the way, he also gave Lu Yun pointers from time to time. Ever since the start of his cultivation, Lu Yun had walked his path alone. He’d never really received any guidance from anyone. While he called Fuxi his master, Fuxi was more like his pathfinder. Everything that Lu Yun possessed was the result of his own efforts and deductions.

Naturally, he was very happy to receive personalized thoughts from a mighty grand supreme, especially after he’d ascended so hastily. Granted, he would slowly acclimate to his new level through his own efforts and eventually probe the limits of being a high supreme. His own strength was sufficient to address the lingering effects of breaking through.

Everything that Big Beard shared with him resulted in enormous benefits. In less than ten days, Lu Yun cleared up most of the after effects of his ascension and inspired another wave of astonishment from Big Beard. If it wasn’t for the young man cultivating order, the grand supreme would want to take in a new disciple.

“Stop!” Big Beard suddenly roared and stood up on the star. He slowly drew out the broadsword that’d remained sheathed all this time.

Lu Yun tensed—he didn’t see any danger. Everything seemed as usual and there were fewer vortexes here than elsewhere.

“ROAR!!” shook the heavens as a pungent mouth loomed out of the gloom. It bit down on Lu Yun and the star beneath his feet.

“Die!!” Big Beard slashed out with his sword and brought down a ray of brilliant blade light and towering killing intent onto the mouth.

Blackish-red blood sprayed through the air and a corpse the size of a minor world fell through the void. It was sucked into a nearby vortex and pulverized to dust.

With a wave of his hand, a gray crystal core landed in Big Beard’s hand.

“This belongs to the disordered beasts unique to the Disordered Sea. I have no use for it, but you’ll find it very nicely handy. Take it.” Big Beard tossed over the murky core roughly three meters long.

Lu Yun accepted it with a rueful smile and a nod. The intent of disorder suffused the crystal core. It was indeed useful for order cultivators, but even more suited for Lu Yun. His hell dao suppressed and refined all disorder. However, he used the power of order within his body to refine it, strengthening it instead of hell dao.

He did so partially to continue hiding his identity, and also partially because hell was yet to form its order. It would take a very long period of time before that was complete. He practiced order now so he could hasten the formation of hell’s orders.

After he obtained the crystal core that was larger than his entire body, he sat down cross-legged to assimilate it.

“Oof!” His eyes lit up when he realized that the lingering deficiencies after his ascension seemed to have improved some.

“Told you so, little fellow,” Big Beard roared with laughter. “I’m not riding your flight treasure for nothing.”

“It is this junior’s honor that the senior travels with me,” Lu Yun smiled shyly back and bent his mind to taking them to the nearby Disordered Island.

“You need to be careful, there’s a powerful force field around the island. You won’t make it through with your current level of cultivation,” warned Big Beard before Lu Yun rushed in. “I recommend you to stay out of it, there’s no chance of survival for you.

“A few grand supremes specializing in order once made it here, but they were all killed by others. As a high supreme specializing in order, your best outcome is to become another’s tool or puppet through the disorder.” Big Beard had nursed the same intention at first, but he’d formed a budding relationship with Lu Yun along the way. Added to that using the young man’s treasure to recover and evade danger, he decided to thoroughly set the thought aside.

If he’d thought of the notion, so would others when they saw Lu Yun. The young man would ultimately be captured by others and turned into a puppet.

“How dare you come back, Cen Sui!” A furious roar shook the void as a pillar of brilliant aureate splendor descended from above, aimed at Big Beard on the star. It was a grand supreme—the one that’d run off after taking a star to the head.

“Wu Ru of the shamans!” snarled Cen Sui. His broadsword shot out and slashed at Grand Supreme Wu Ru with a flurry of snowy radiance.

Wu Ru’s speed was too fast for Big Beard to wield his weapon himself, but he’d been on the alert and deployed his treasure the moment his enemy appeared.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Wu Ru squawked with outrage after a few collisions, gravely injured by Big Beard’s response.

“What else do you know other than ambush, Wu Ru?” Big Beard belly laughed. “Die!”

Whoosh!

Big Beard swung his broadsword at Wu Ru’s head, intending to split his skull wide open.

“Put down your blade, Cen Sui, or I wring this little guy’s neck.”

Lu Yun suddenly felt piercing cold envelop him as a pair of ice-cold hands gripped his neck.
