Perfect World: Start by traveling to the Wuwang Mansion

Chapter 280 Nameless
A resounding, majestic voice echoed from the void, carrying with it an immense sense of oppression.

Shi Qingyun's divine power surged rapidly, and his figure retreated backward like a ghost in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, huge ripples appeared in the distant void, which then slowly separated to the sides.

The sky suddenly darkened, and a terrifying killing intent surged across the heavens.

Under Shi Qingyun's gaze, a man dressed in armor and riding a majestic divine beast slowly walked out of the spatial rift.

"Da da da"

The sound of beast hooves pounding the earth was crisp and far-reaching, penetrating through layers of space and echoing softly. Each step stirred up ripples in the space.

The man sat atop the beast, his eyes indifferent and ruthless, his aura restrained, like a war god dominating the battlefield, his bloodthirsty killing intent freezing everything around him.

A touch of icy blue emanated from his body, freezing everything in its wake, and causing the Great Dao to wail.

The aura emanating from the man made Shi Qingyun feel as if his pores were being pricked by needles, causing his hair to stand on end.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way!"

A crystal-clear Dharma image appeared behind Shi Qingyun, and the invincible divine pressure of him erupted, colliding with the killing intent emanating from the man.

"I am nameless."

"As time goes by, I have forgotten my name."

"I am here by order of the Immortal King to guard the Tree of Ten Thousand Paths!"

"Considering you are a being from the Nine Heavens, leave quickly! Don't ruin your own life!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qingyun immediately understood. It seemed that the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm had preserved the flawless Dao Seeds for their descendants.

However, the thought that these Celestial Kings had bound this place to the Nine Heavens cast a shadow over his heart.

The power of countless stars stirred within him, and behind him, a pair of indifferent and ruthless eyes slowly opened, forming a crystal-clear avatar.

Divine light shone forth, filling the surroundings with a sense of sacred majesty.

"If I absolutely must have this, what will you do?"

Wuming sensed the fighting spirit and anger emanating from Shi Qingyun, but his face remained calm and composed. The ferocious beast beneath him exhaled white breath from its nostrils, mocking Shi Qingyun's arrogance.

"Throughout the ages, I have seen many geniuses like you."

"However, they all became nourishment for this land."

"Today, I am determined to add another skeleton to the list."

As he spoke, the azure sky seemed to change, a deep gloom swirling in the void, his words pouring down on Shi Qingyun like heavenly music.

"click"

Behind him, the crystal-clear image of Shi Qingyun made a series of crisp sounds as the space was compressed, and the space beneath his feet cracked inch by inch.

It felt like I was sinking into an endless quagmire, and the more I struggled, the deeper I sank, a sense of powerlessness washing over me.

His brow furrowed involuntarily; the pressure he felt was even greater than that from the Third Elder.

His body trembled slightly, and a divine light slowly emerged behind him, while the aura of the Three Thousand Great Daos slowly emanated from his body.

Heaven and earth fell silent, and the power of the world blessed me.

Wuming's heart skipped a beat. In the blink of an eye, the young man with extraordinary potential in front of him suddenly seemed to become as majestic as heaven and earth.

A forbidden power flowed through his body, and with every move he made, his fighting spirit resonated with the outside world.

The Great Dao Order that had just confronted him now instantly surrounded him, intimately interacting with him.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle"

Just as Wuming was momentarily stunned, the Myriad Dao Tree behind him also began to sway, its rustling sound echoing through the void.

Sparkling light swayed down from beneath the broad branches, transforming into golden radiance that flowed into the divine light behind Shi Qingyun.

Even Wuming's originally indifferent gaze was stirred by this scene, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

At this moment, Wan Daoshu resonated with Shi Qingyun. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing in all the ages.

The still, lifeless lake of the heart was stirred by a few ripples.

Shi Qingyun, who was struggling to resist the suppression of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, felt a tremor in his body, and the illusory divine kingdom behind him became even more solid.

His mind became clear, and various moral principles flowed through his heart, making further progress in his spiritual practice.

Divine power surged forth from his body, and behind him, a simple and unadorned spear, shimmering with starlight, suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Divine light surged forth from the tip of the spear, and a killing intent that pierced through countless ages condensed at the tip, instantly tearing the space apart like a sheet of paper.

A surge of power emanated from the earth, and the ground beneath their feet, brimming with rich spiritual energy, was instantly ripped apart layer by layer.

The dark, glossy soil beneath was exposed.

"bang bang bang"

Under this overwhelming force, the divine beast beneath the nameless man involuntarily retreated, its heavy footsteps pounding the soft earth with a thunderous sound.

"click"

Feeling the pressure emanating from his body, he was already somewhat shocked that such a celestial artifact had fallen into the hands of a god.

And it still retains such spirituality, what kind of heavenly fortune is this?

The ripples that were already spreading were now being amplified into enormous waves, a testament to how many true immortals perished and how many immortal artifacts were shattered in the great battle of that year.

Seeing that a complete immortal artifact still remained in the Nine Heavens, he was naturally extremely surprised.

"Today, I'm going to have this Tree of Ten Thousand Paths!"

"At worst, we can break through this realm, and then the so-called guardians will no longer be bound by it."

Hearing Shi Qingyun's calm yet domineering tone, Wumingxin fell silent.

With the aid of a celestial artifact, even if he couldn't unleash his full power, destroying this realm would be an easy task.

If this world is destroyed, his primordial spirit, bound here, will also suffer the consequences.

Thinking of this, the aura surging within him gradually subsided.

"Fellow Daoist, please put away the immortal artifact first. We can discuss the matter of the Myriad Dao Tree later."

"Moreover, if the power of the immortal artifact were to affect this realm, the Myriad Dao Tree would also be destroyed, resulting in a lose-lose situation."

"Moreover, I once reached the realm of a true immortal in my previous life. If my primordial spirit had not been bound here, waiting for people from the immortal realm to come and pluck my Dao seed."

Even if you possess a divine artifact, you can't do anything to me!

After speaking, the aura that had subsided from his body erupted once more, causing the void to vibrate and rustle.

Shi Qingyun, who was suspended in the void, also felt as if his heart was being gripped by a giant hand. Fortunately, this aura came and went quickly!

After thinking for a while, he slowly withdrew the star from his body. Since the problem could be solved peacefully, he naturally did not want to waste the star's power.

The space in front of him began to ripple like water, and with a single step, Shi Qingyun vanished from the spot.

The next instant, it appeared directly beside Wuming. Its profound spatial mastery drew Wuming's attention. The divine beast beneath Wuming, now in such close contact with Shi Qingyun, was filled with vigilance, its previous mockery completely gone.

They were afraid that Shi Qingyun would pull out something shocking from his pocket again.

Sensing the immense life force emanating from him, Wuming couldn't help but show a hint of amazement on his handsome face.

Shi Qingyun also carefully examined the man in front of her, feeling that his aura was sometimes ethereal and sometimes as deep and unfathomable as the sea.

The Dao principles surrounding him are closely connected to this world, and the Great Dao surges within him with every movement.

He stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly to Wuming:

"I wonder, senior, what would it take for you to give me the Tree of Ten Thousand Paths?"

Upon hearing this, Wuming slowly came to his senses and solemnly said to him:
"Two conditions!"

"First, if one day you attain enlightenment and achieve success in your cultivation, help me to reshape my Dao body!"

Second, help me wipe out a group of alien creatures!

Shi Qingyun didn't think much of the first request, but when she heard the second one, her brows furrowed.

"Are there people from other lands here?"

Wuming nodded, a hint of resentment in his eyes, and explained the reason to Shi Qingyun.

It turns out that when the foreign lands retreated back then, some people were unable to leave in time and were left behind on this battlefield.

"Even with my cultivation level as a Celestial God, I might not be their match."

"Sending me to wipe them out is like sending lambs to the slaughter."

Shi Qingyun shook his head, expressing his objection to the second request, a hint of suspicion appearing in his eyes.

"No need to worry."

"So much time has passed, those people from back then must have perished long ago, even if some survived."

"Under the repulsion of the Nine Heavens Great Dao, his cultivation level must have regressed considerably, with the highest level being only the Void Dao."

"With the protection of a celestial artifact, your life is not in danger, so this matter is not difficult for you."

Looking at his nonchalant demeanor, Shi Qingyun couldn't help but ask:

"Then why don't you go and kill them yourself?"

Upon hearing this, a shadow of gloom appeared in Wuming's eyes, and he said softly to Shi Qingyun:
"If I could leave this place, I would have wiped out those foreign scum long ago, so they wouldn't be an eyesore!"

"If I weren't from another land, I wouldn't be in this situation!"

"I only ask you, do you agree to this?"

After thinking for a moment, Shi Qingyun nodded in agreement.

If what Wuming said is true, then this matter is indeed not too difficult for him.

Wuming didn't say much either. With a flick of his finger, a message entered Shi Qingyun's mind.

As Wuming watched Shi Qingyun disappear before his eyes, a profound look flashed in his eyes.

"The karma of a Celestial King is not something you can easily bear; all the chips are on your shoulders."

"Don't let me down!"

On the other side

Shi Qingyun's figure tore through the void and sped away into the distance, his eyes and body sparkling with starlight, as if he could revive at any moment.

Time passed slowly, and under the dim sky, Shi Qingyun's figure slowly appeared in a misty forest.

A divine light flashed in his eyes, and array patterns appeared and disappeared in the void, making the eerie and terrifying misty forest before him seem illusory.

Divine power surged from his body, and the longsword in his hand exuded terrifying power. With a solemn expression, he walked inside.

Passing through the ripples of light before you, you'll immediately see a winding river echoing through the countryside.

In the distance, wisps of smoke rise, the mountains and waters are beautiful but there is no trace of a fairyland, it is just a scene of a rural mountain village.

As Shi Qingyun arrived, several elderly people by the field put down their teacups and looked at him.

His face was etched with deep lines, and he wore coarse linen clothes, giving him the appearance of a farmer.

"What is supposed to come has come."

The elderly man with white hair at the head of the group withdrew his gaze, took out his cane, and tapped it on the ground.

"Yes, for so many years, I've been living in self-deception, but this is not my hometown after all."

Behind him, an elderly man standing on one leg, leaning on a cane, also spoke slowly.

"If it weren't for my elder brother using his own essence to resist the suppression of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth for the sake of us, he could have left long ago."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"When one is nearing the end of life, it doesn't matter where one dies, except that one will never see the people of the past again."

After the old man finished speaking in a low voice, he picked up his cane and walked towards Shi Qingyun's direction.

With each step, a burst of black flames ignited on his body, and his previously loose skin instantly became firm.

His originally gray hair now shone with a black light, and with each step he took, his aura continued to rise.

As a blazing light flashed, a man dressed in black with black hair and exuding a noble air appeared, suspended in mid-air.

His domineering aura vibrated through the void, and the gloomy aura on the others behind him was swept away as well.

As they unleashed their illusory power, bolts of lightning appeared out of thin air outside the light barrier, striking the formation directly and causing it to shake violently.

Standing in the void like a god or a demon, he pressed his overwhelming power down on Shi Qingyun.

Feeling the aura of the Void Dao emanating from the group, Shi Qingyun's expression changed, and a pressure immediately pressed down on his shoulders.

"Nine Heavens' Pride? Let us, the warriors of the old era, depart!"

"In the end, we can at least bring along a prodigy from the heavens, so it's not a complete loss."

"We simply can't accept growing old and dying in this rural area!"

The group charged forward, their imposing aura shaking the void, while the killing intent behind them solidified into sharp blades that blasted towards him.

Shi Qingyun's eyes flashed with fighting spirit, and he made a Dao seal in front of his chest with his right hand, as divine power surged out of his body.

Behind him, a giant sword slowly emerged from the ground beneath his feet.

"town!"

With a loud shout, the giant sword was instantly plunged into the void above their heads, and the terrifying power emanating from it pressed down on the group of people.

Sensing the disorder in the divine power, the foreigners showed a hint of surprise on their faces, but they still rushed towards Shi Qingyun regardless.

"Kid, why don't you accompany us on our journey through the cycle of reincarnation! Haha—"
