This Young Master is not Cannon Fodderchapter 271: monarch nine heavens

What did the term nine heavens mean?

Supremacy. Without Equal. Limitless.

Upon hearing his self-proclaimed title, not just the immortal monarchs but even the true immortal felt that Tianyi was boasting. Only Sect Master Xia revealed a knowing smile.

"Arrogant. I respect you as my senior, but do you not know how high the heavens and earth are? You just entered the Seamless Immortal Realm and are already so wanton. Not speaking of us here who have stepped into the Seamless Immortal Realms for tens of thousands of years, but there is also Grand Elder Xi sitting above," Head Elder Brightwing scolded.

At Head Elder Brightwing's rebuke, Tianyi also couldn't keep his act up and laughed. He wanted to say, "I know, but Mother supports me. What can you do?" but he didn't. Instead, Tianyi calmly said, "You will know in the future."

Hearing Tianyi's dismissive tone, even the true immortal elders began to frown inwardly.

Sect Master Xia waved his hand. The plan was to establish Tianyi's alternative identity. As long as he managed to trick the elders, tricking the outside world would be even easier. After all, to trick your enemies, you have to trick your friends first.

"Enough, each person's daoist title is their own choice and represents their ambitions," Sect Master Xia said. At his words, he instantly calmed most of the negative thoughts of the elders and even made some subtly appreciate Tianyi's choice of title.

Naturally, with Tianyi's social skills, he couldn't detect these subtle changes. All he could think was, 'Yeah, I was really cool.'

Still, Tianyi didn't linger on that euphoric feelings and adjusted his mindset. "Sect Master, as long as you give the word, I'll destroy that White Wind Sect immediately. I won't even need a day."

Sect Master Xia furrowed his brows. "Are you sure? You just stepped into the Seamless Immortal Realm and haven't had time to consolidate your cultivation base. It's better to send a few true immortals with you."

Tianyi frowned. "No need. They will only drag me down."

Sect Master Xia sighed and said, "At least let Elder Hun follow you. While you were in retreat, Elder Hun became an immortal of the soul path. Even if he hasn't reached the Seamless Immortal Realm, he is an immortal lord. You can't say he's unneeded since you don't cultivate the soul path."

Tianyi pretended to think about it and reluctantly nodded his head. "He can come."

Elder Hun stepped up and walked behind Tianyi.

"When do you want to leave?" Sect Master Xia asked.

"Now," Tianyi said. Without waiting for Sect Master Xia to react, Tianyi waved his hand, and space began to twist. A second later, both Tianyi and Elder Hun disappeared.

Sect Master Xia felt his lips twitch. 'Aren't you getting too enthusiastic about your role?'

Still, Sect Master Xia dismissed everyone. Soon, news of the Buzhou Immortal Sect's new immortal monarch spread out. Many disciples and even elders were talking about it.

Ever since the war on the Heaven Continent started, they had been in a state of high tension, and the birth of a new expert undoubtedly raised their confidence and morale.

"They say he's an immortal monarch that mastered the Law of Space!" One disciple said.

"But I also heard he's very arrogant, and he likes being alone." Another disciple said.

"Yeah, he doesn't have a single disciple. But if you can catch his eye and become his disciples..." a third disciple added, causing the first two to fall into silence.

"Do you know where Elder Nine Heavens lives?" The first disciple asked.

After some hesitation, the second disciple spoke. "I heard he's a resident of Jade Peak. It's not hard to figure out. Elder Nine Heavens became an immortal monarch after Senior Brother Xi became an immortal, and both of their heavenly tribulation and Dao Manifestation originated from Jade Peak."

All three sighed. Unless you were invited or had official duties, it was a restricted area that few could tread.

"Speaking of which, do you think Elder Nine Heavens is actually Senior Brother Xi? The Dao Manifestation appeared immediately after Senior Brother Xi's heavenly tribulation ended. Isn't the coincidence too much?" The first disciple asked again.

The third disciple frowned. "I don't think so. I also had the same thought, and I asked my master, but he said that it was impossible."

The first and second disciples nodded, completely trusting the third disciple's words. The third disciple's master was an immortal lord, the strongest among the three of them, and naturally had more insight and knowledge.

Elder Hun stared at Tianyi's back in surprise. The space around him was covered in a thin layer of black as if he was surrounded by tinted glass.

Furthermore, the world around him sped past him so fast that even with his status as an immortal, he couldn't even see things clearly. What's even more shocking was that when he tried to use his immortal sense to detect the world, he found that it was as if he was suspended in a void and couldn't detect anything at all.

Tianyi glanced behind him in a proud mood. "Are you surprised that you can't sense anything?"

"Please enlighten me, Elder," Elder Hun cupped his fist into his palm and asked.

"It's nothing much. We can't be considered in the Huang Realm anymore. We are in folded space. As long as their attainments in space don't surpass me, they can't detect us at all," Tianyi lightly said. 'Of course, even if they do, they still can't sense me as long as their mastery of space doesn't surpass my understanding of spacetime.'

Even without using his immortal sense, Tianyi could still detect Elder Hun's amazement. 'Not bad. I guess I won't tell you that without you, I can arrive even faster and that you are only a burden. Haha!'

For Tianyi, distance is nothing. What is distance? Nothing more than a concept created by man. In his eyes, something as short as one millimeter can become as long as ten thousand kilometers, and the reverse was true as well.

In less than an hour, Tianyi and Elder Hun arrived at the White Wind Sect. He didn't wait and waved his arm, sending a preliminary attack on the White Wind Sect.

Space around the White Wind Sect twisted, and not long after, the sound of glass shattering could be heard—if the glass was a supermassive object spanning thousands of kilometers.

With Tianyi's one move, he instantly destroyed over half of the White Wind Sect's protective barrier formations.

"WHO?!" A furious roar erupted from the White Wind Sect, which Tianyi recognized as Immortal Riftwind's voice. The voice paused for a moment as the owner detected Tianyi and hesitantly asked, "Why did your excellency attack my White Wind Sect?"

The edge of Tianyi's lips curled upward. "Don't you already know? This is retribution for your treasonous act."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Riftwind fell silent. Then, numerous formations began to appear, each one superior to the ones Tianyi's already destroyed. Before, the formations present were passive formations, and not all of them had defensive or offensive properties. Many had the sole purpose of gathering spiritual qi to enrich the White Wind Sect's headquarters.

"Hmpf, even if you are an immortal monarch, so what?" Immortal Riftwind said. "As long as I can stall you long enough, you'll be besieged by the Tripartite Alliance, and then it'll be hard to say who remains alive."

Tianyi just kept the same smile on his face as if looking at a fool. Finally, after the formations stopped appearing and solidifying the White Wind Sect's defenses, he asked. "Are you done?"

Silence met his query.

He shrugged and flew directly above the core of the White Wind Sect. Even with Tianyi directly above them, the White Wind Sect's formations should show no signs of doing anything except defending. Although Tianyi didn't recognize the majority of them or their names, he could still perceive their functions.

Tianyi snorted and held out his arm. With his five fingers spread out and palm facing the sky, an enormous amount of immortal qi began to gather in his palm. The surroundings dimmed as a small orb of light appeared in Tianyi's hand.

Behind him, Elder Hun felt as if he was staring at a miniature sun. As the miniature sun in Tianyi's hand grew brighter and denser, the surrounding became dark like night, but that was only because of how bright it was. In reality, the sky had actually brightened.

In the miniature sun, Elder Hun could also sense the Law of Fire, but he knew it wasn't that simple. Although this new immortal monarch had not successfully mastered the complete Law of Fire, he had already mastered fifty percent, more than enough to generate fire qi for his Daotree. Furthermore, the Law of Fire had been incorporated with the Law of Space!

Elder Hun could sense the Law of Space, and so could Immortal Riftwind. In fact, he could sense it even more than Elder Hun, but it was precisely so that he felt the hair on his body stand on end. He would love nothing more than to ignore everything and comprehend the esoteric knowledge displayed by Tianyi, but in doing so, he would definitely die.

One is all, all is one. One dao can lead to myriad daos, such is the concept that must be mastered in order to enter the Divinity Realm. Even without entering the Divinity Realm, to become an immortal sovereign, you must be able to merge other laws into your primary law.

Riftwind had always wanted to incorporate the Law of Space into his Law of Wind, but he hadn't even had initial success. Now, seeing Tianyi's attack, he knew the chances of death were over ninety-nine percent.

He spread his immortal sense over the White Wind Sect and began to order all the disciples and descendants to flee. He knew the logic of cutting grass by its roots, but he couldn't help but harbor the hope that the Buzou Immortal Sect would show mercy and allow the weak ones to leave alive.

Tianyi had been about to unleash the orb in his hand but paused as he sensed people exiting. He had thought it was a last-ditch effort by the White Wind Sect, but upon discovering the nature of the people exiting, he paused.

Most of them were only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and only a few at the Core Formation Realm or its equivalent. In the Central Region, they were as common as ants. With his current strength, a breath could end all of them.

He had originally planned to let them go, but Elder Hun, who was beside him, took action, and all those who left the protection of the White Wind Sect's formation died.

"Elder Hun!" Tianyi shouted.

Elder Hun stared at Tianyi and said, "Elder Nine Heavens, we have to cut the grass by its roots. If we let them go, isn't this just telling them that even if they rebel, their descendants can still live? Since they dare to be the first to betray us, we must make an example of them."

Tianyi stayed silent before finally turning his head away. Of course, he knew the logic, but he still felt resistant to the idea.

Elder Hun, who was behind Tianyi, saw his hesitance but took it as pride or reservation. "If Elder Nine Heavens doesn't want to contaminate yourself with karmic sin, allow me."

Tianyi shook his head. He didn't fear karmic sin. Hell, even karmic virtue couldn't contaminate him, so those two were of no use. "No, I'll do it."

He had initially planned on destroying the core of the White Wind Sect and any earth immortals or venerables, but now it was different. With a sigh, he flipped his hand over, and the miniature sun dropped.

Elder Hun immediately felt a strong attraction force from the miniature sun, as if it wanted to suck everything around it. In Tianyi's hand, it was originally suppressed, but once it left, it immediately exploded. Furthermore, intense heat immediately enveloped the surrounding ten thousand kilometers.

The miniature sun continued its descent. Compared to the whole White Wind Sect, it couldn't even be compared to a speck of dust. But Immortal Riftwind only felt despair the closer the miniature sun got. He mobilized all the formations to block the attack, but each formation broke like sheets of paper.

Immortal Riftwind even flew out and tried to stop the miniature sun personally, but his spatial attacks were only absorbed by the miniature sun. When he tried to grab it, the miniature sun attempted to absorb him too!

Finally, the miniature sun touched the White Wind Sect's ground.

Nine Heavens Art - Stellar Silence

White, that was all that could be seen. It was as if everything had been turned into pure white with nothing. It didn't last long, at most ten seconds before it disappeared.

Elder Hun felt his eyes widen when he saw the surrounding thousand kilometers turned into a barren wasteland. The location of the White Wind Sect had turned into a crater with a glass floor.

Tianyi turned around and didn't observe the devastation he wrought. "Let's go."

He had initially felt pity that he wouldn't get the chance to turn the White Wind Sect into another pseudo-realm. However, preventing others from learning of his ability triumphed his urge, but killing countless defenseless lives felt far worse.

On the way back, Tianyi stared at his hand. 'I've reached the level of being able to kill hundreds of thousands with a single hand now, huh? This time is even worse than in the Xi Dynasty. At least it was an accident back then.’
