Order the Chosen of our Alliance

to head down and give them a stern wake-up call,

He came as well!

T/N: 无双 (Wúshuāng: Peerless / Matchless). A classical idiom meaning unmatched beneath the heavens, having no peer. Foreshadows both Master Shengyun's matchless arrogance and Xu Qing's invincible combat might.

Let's go have a look!

That is...

Master Shengyun's Golden Core Dao Protector

T/N: 金丹护道者 (Golden Core Dao Protector). In supreme sects across the Revered Ancient mainland, paramount Chosen are assigned dedicated elders at the Golden Core Realm to safeguard them against sudden mortal peril during their early cultivation (Novel Ch 229).

Such terrifying spiritual pressure!

Both in the Core Sequence and a Dao Child...

What an incredible display of pomp!

He possesses a Life Lamp!

This Master Shengyun,

whose true name is Chu Shengyun,

holds an exceptionally exalted status within the Seven Sect Alliance.

T/N: 楚圣昀 (Chu Shengyun) & 圣昀子 (Master Shengyun). The grandson of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect's founding patriarch on the Revered Ancient mainland. Bestowed with the honorific name "Master Shengyun," he is groomed to become the future supreme sovereign of the Alliance (Novel Ch 227).

he is the only cultivator who possesses both a Life Lamp and an Imperial-Class technique!

T/N: 命灯 (Life Lamp) & 皇级功法 (Imperial-Class Technique). Rare divine gifts in the cultivation world. A Life Lamp multiplies battle prowess tenfold and grants an impregnable barrier; an Imperial-Class technique allows a cultivator's foundation to reach the supreme divine heights of Ancient Emperors (Novel Ch 227).

The Soaring Cloud Sword Sect he belongs to

is the supervisory upper sect of our First Peak.

The other Chosen

also hail from the upper sects of our Seven Blood Eyes' respective peaks.

They've clearly come here to crash our party!

T/N: 砸场子 (Zá chǎngzi: Crashing the Party / Picking a Fight). A colloquial idiom meaning to deliberately gatecrash an event to cause trouble, humiliate the hosts, and tear down their prestige.

The upper sect has arrived in person.

First Peak Elder One-Palace Golden Core Realm

T/N: 一宫金丹境 (One-Palace Golden Core Realm). Cultivators in the Golden Core Realm construct heavenly palaces (天宫) within their dantian to house their core divine flame. One-Palace is the initial tier of Golden Core power (Novel Ch 228).

Forgive us for failing to welcome you from afar,

we ask for your pardon.

No matter.

We heard that the Chief of your First Peak has repeatedly defeated formidable enemies.

The Alliance Leader intends to foster and guide him,

and thus dispatched the Dao Child to come in person

to offer some guidance.

Our First Peak's Chief is currently in secluded cultivation, attempting his breakthrough into the Golden Core Realm.

We did not know the upper sect...

Secluded cultivation?

The Dao Child has come in person to instruct him,

so do not fail to appreciate his kindness!

T/N: 不识抬举 (Bùshí táiju: Failing to Appreciate Kindness / Not Knowing What's Good for You). A sharp idiom criticizing someone for obstinately spurning favor or honor bestowed upon them by a superior.

Do not be rash!

But...!

This Master Shengyun...

One hundred and twenty dharma apertures,

wielding both an Imperial-Class technique and a Life Lamp.

He is not yet a Golden Core,

yet his strength surpasses a Golden Core!

This Master Shengyun has come with overwhelming momentum,

Tell me,

can the First Peak withstand this onslaught?

Junior Brother Xu,

Captain,

are you two leaving already?

I'm going to cultivate.

The Intelligence Division has official business.

See you later.

A spectacle like this...

doesn't happen more than a few times in an entire lifetime!

Bullying people too far is truly infuriating!

Even in death, I will face him once!

Little Nine!

Let me.

Second Senior Brother!

I have long heard of the Dao Child's illustrious name.

On behalf of my Eldest Senior Brother,

I ask the Dao Child for some guidance.

A mere yellow-beaked child like you?

T/N: 黄口小儿 (Huángkǒu xiǎo'ér: Yellow-Beaked Fledgling / Youngster). A classical Chinese idiom derived from infant birds with yellow beaks, used derisively to mock someone as naive, immature, and inexperienced.

Granted.

Then we invite all of you

to move to the First Peak's martial arena.

First Peak Martial Arena

Master Shengyun arrived in person;

the First Peak this time...

bodes far more ill than good!

T/N: 凶多吉少 (Xiōngduō jíshǎo: Bodes Ill / Disastrous Odds). A classical idiom meaning misfortune heavily outweighs good fortune, indicating almost certain doom.

I wouldn't say so.

Rumor has it that Seven Blood Eyes produces endless Chosen;

the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect might not easily gain the upper hand.

Substandard trash.

This duel...

will surely be utterly boring.

Make your move.

His cultivation base far surpasses mine.

I have only a single strike's chance.

I must exert every ounce of my strength!

Even if I die here today,

I will never allow an outsider to trample upon the dignity of our First Peak!

Sword Formation!

This is the Second Highness's natal cultivation technique!

Second Senior Brother intends to unleash that technique!

Mildly interesting.

A thousand blades forge a seat shaking the nine heavens!

Once this blade emerges,

ten thousand mountains fade into the distance!

Ninth Stance!

Sword King Dharma Avatar Natal Dharma Avatar

T/N: 剑王法相 (Sword King Dharma Avatar) & 本命法相 (Natal Dharma Avatar). A gigantic spiritual manifestation condensed from a sword cultivator's sword intent and core dharma force, capable of sundering the sky.

Heaven-Cleaving Night Illuminator!

Go!

It can't breach the barrier of his Life Lamp!

Break for...

ME!

Holy crap!

Do you know...

what it means...

to strike a stone with an egg?

T/N: 以卵击石 (Yǐluǎn jīshí: Striking a Stone with an Egg). A classical idiom meaning to pit frail weakness against an indestructible powerhouse, courting instant destruction.

What?!

My all-out strike...

was actually blocked by him so effortlessly?!

Dao Child, please hold your hand!

Golden Core?

The guidance from the Dao Child...

our peak has humbly accepted.

Elder...!

Second Senior Brother!

Quick, quick, quick!

Save him!

Senior Brother!

Quickly, bring healing pills!

Are you alright?

The First Peak was completely defeated!

A single blow actually forced back a Golden Core elder?!

Now that this fight is over,

it is time for us to guide our respective subsidiary sects.

Thanks for the match.

Boring.

I hope the Seventh Peak...

can offer some pleasant surprises.

Junior Brother Xu,

do you know what just happened?

That Master Shengyun...

is terrifying beyond measure!

T/N: 恐怖如斯 (Kǒngbù rúsī: Terrifying Beyond Measure). A famous cultivation trope idiom describing overwhelming, mind-numbing power that defies all comprehension.

I only felt

that fleeting moment of utterly horrifying pressure.

The Second Highness was defeated in a single strike!

Had the First Peak's Golden Core elder not intervened,

his cultivation would have been completely destroyed!

That Master Shengyun is monstrously frightening.

Junior Brother Xu,

as a member of the Core Sequence,

you must be extremely careful these days!

Thank you for the warning, Senior Brother Zhang San.

The wish box I obtained from Horsefour back then

T/N: 愿望盒 (Wish Box). An ancient, sealed relic. A cultivator infuses it with dharma force over months until the seal cracks, yielding completely randomized ancient treasures, techniques, pills, or lethal oddities (Novel Ch 227).

has almost finished being nourished.

I wonder what I'll open from it.

Three thousand great daos,

all may attain holiness.

The people of the world disdain the dao of poison.

Yet...

I once slew a poison cultivator from a god domain,

and was struck by his sinister poison.

Ancient Phantom Shadow

T/N: 上古虚幻之影 (Ancient Phantom Shadow). The lingering divine spiritual fragment of ancient almighty Daoist Myriad Poison (万毒道人) sealed inside the jade slip from the wish box (Novel Ch 228).

Only then did I comprehend the true might of the dao of poison.

I condensed that lethal poison into a single pill.

If you shift your palaces and replace your core,

you may tread this path of the taboo pill.

T/N: 毒禁之丹 (Poison Taboo Pill). A forbidden pill refined from divine god-domain poison. Designed to be assimilated as a cultivator's Golden Core within a heavenly palace, creating a peerless poison core cultivator (Novel Ch 228).

Replace a Golden Core with a poison pill?

Th-This...

Holy mother of...!

Master! Your face!

This poison brings absolutely no sensation of pain,

making it nearly impossible to detect!

Close!

If the spread of this poison

outpaces the violet crystal's regeneration speed,

I will be doomed beyond redemption!

This poison is exceedingly virulent.

I wonder if the venomous bugs can evolve under its infection.

If I feed the venomous bugs with my own blood,

perhaps I can improve their resistance.

Let's give it a try.

Little Seventh,

the Alliance dispatched these Chosen to challenge the peaks one by one,

causing unrest and anxiety among the disciples.

While you and I hide here taking it easy,

aren't you worried at all?

No matter.

Letting this pack of wolf cubs experience the caliber of Revered Ancient ahead of time

T/N: 狼崽子 (Wolf Cubs) & 望古之资 (Caliber of Revered Ancient). Master Seventh affectionately refers to Seven Blood Eyes disciples as wolf cubs due to the sect's cutthroat culture. He deliberately lets the upper sect Chosen beat them to broaden their horizons beyond their coastal domain.

is a good thing as well.

There is a change!

It succeeded!

Although not many venomous bugs survived,

at least it proves this step was correct.
