Schemes

Within a luxurious room, there sat two figures who silently meditated.

Chu Xin looked peaceful, while she carefully absorbed the Yin Energy from the levitating black ball.

This was the black ball that contained the vast amount of Yin Energy that Tatsuya plundered from the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest.

Tatsuya also meditated in front of her, sweeping his divine consciousness on Chu Xin's body.

Since Tatsuya had obtained the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulation, his control over Yin Energy is unparalleled. He planned to assist Chu Xin in her cultivation.

Chu Xin's cultivation base steadily rose to the peak of Earth Profound Realm.

She knitted her brows, as she broke the barrier between Earth and Sky Profound Realm.

1st level of Sky Profound Realm!

Chu Xin had finally entered that realm only in few years of cultivation.

Her innate talent is truly terrifying. Imagine that there are old cultivators that won't be able to reach this day even after their death.

She smiled in happiness, as she slowly opened her eyes.

Chu Xin's eyes turned to crescent moons, when she saw Tatsuya looking at her with appreciation.

"Congratulations, Xin'er."

Tatsuya approached her and patted her head.

Chu Xin smiled in glee.

"Thank you, big brother. If not for you, I wouldn't be able to reach what I am today…"

Chu Xin blushed, while she warmly looked at Tatsuya.

"I'm proud of you."

Tatsuya smiled at his beautiful younger sister.

"Xin'er, there are still a large amount of Yin Energy inside this sphere. You should be able to reach Emperor Profound Realm after the Seven Nation Ranking Tournament."

Chu Xin nodded in agreement.

She indeed sensed the seemingly endless amount of Yin Energy from the sphere.

"Big brother, I heard that the Supreme Ocean Palace declared war against the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region?"

She knew that Tatsuya had gone to the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest to retrieve a treasure.

Although, she believed that Tatsuya is involved in that matter, she knew that Tatsuya wouldn't senselessly massacre countless lifeforms for no reason at all.

"…Looks like someone is unlucky."

Tatsuya wryly smiled.

"When I arrived at the perimeter of Moon Slaughter Devil Nest, there was also a bunch of unknown cultivators a kilometer away from the nest."

"Big brother, are you saying that when the Supreme Ocean Palace arrived at the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest, what they found are those unknown cultivators?"

"Probably. These unknown cultivators should be from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region."

"But, even then, I heard that these cultivators are only at Sky Profound Realm. Wouldn't the Supreme Ocean Palace know that they're not the actual perpetrators of the massacre?"

"The Supreme Ocean Palace won't be able to do anything about it. Since, the only people they found on the perimeter were the cultivators of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, they were forced to pin the blame on them."

Tatsuya heaved a sigh.

"The Four Great Sacred Grounds have an undisputable reputation. If the Supreme Ocean Palace refused to pin the blame on the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, even though they were found at the scene, people will point their fingers on the Supreme Ocean Palace, telling them that they are afraid of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region."

"But, can't they just pin the blame onto someone else?"

Tatsuya's eyes flashed in appreciation.

It seems that Chu Xin indeed improved. She can even ask these kind of questions.

"You see, they just can't. If they tried to pin the blame onto an unknown cultivator, people would say that the Supreme Ocean Palace can't even control their territory. After all, only cultivators from the other sacred grounds can enter the perimeter of Moon Slaughter Devil Nest."

"So, they were forced to pin the blame on the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. In this way, they would be able to justify how the perpetrators managed to enter the perimeter of Moon Slaughter Devil Nest and possessed enough power to massacre the victims."

Tatsuya saw Chu Xin's complicated expression.

"Don't worry. As I told you, the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulation thankfully only gathered a little bit of power. If it had enough time to recuperate, not just the Blue Pole Star will be caught in the massacre, but maybe even some places in the Upper Realms."

Tatsuya smiled, assuring Chu Xin's thoughts.

"Although, these two hegemon are in war, they are actually trying to resolve this problem in the most efficient way. There won't be any war. It's all a strategic move to fool the outside world."

Chu Xin nodded her head, finally convinced.

"You don't need to worry about these things, Xin'er. You should focus on the Seven Nation Ranking Tournament."

"Yes, big brother. Feng Xue'er told me that they gave me a spot and asked me if it would be alright with me to represent the Divine Phoenix Empire."

"Sure, go for it. We're allied with the Divine Phoenix after all."

Chu Xin smiled, exhilarated at the upcoming event.

Seeing this, Tatsuya can't help but pat her head.

He felt that the Seven Nation Ranking Tournament would be full of surprises.

Now that Xiao Che has been eliminated from the burden of saving the Primal Chaos Universe.

Things are bound to change from this point onwards.

Tatsuya can also vaguely sense that after the Seven Nation Ranking Tournament, there will be an opportunity for him to nourish the spirits of the three heavenly profound treasure.

He glanced at the ceiling of the room, his gaze piercing across dimensions.

His gaze finally landed on the dark sword within the territory of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.

"I really don't know why the devils that I have encountered so far are all insane."

Tatsuya knew that devils are not evil in nature.

Just like how Buddha can turn into a Devil, the Devil can also become the Buddha.

"Well, that sword although far from the quality of my current sword, it's still useful if its purified…"

Tatsuya thought of maybe giving it to Mo Yan'er.

Well, he'll have to see whether there would be an opportunity to do so.
