Chapter 1145: Two Great Sacred Sects

Father had lost his Dao Energy!

Luo Yunyang now had a clearer understanding of Dao Energy. Dao energy was extremely important for people who were born in the Vast Sky Sacred Realm.

Whether one could become a martialist depended on whether they were born with the Dao Energy. This very same energy also affected one's ability to grow as a martialist.

Take Luo Jiutian for example. He had been naturally born with nine layers of Dao Energy and his natural aptitude had decided that he would gain many resources and benefits of the Vast Sky Sacred Realm.

Regardless of the rate of spiritual influence absorption or the comprehension of great paths and laws, or...

All these endowments had allowed him to become the disciple of a respectable sect and eventually become a respectable war emperor.

Although there were also Taiyi Yuan Venerates and even stronger entities amongst the war emperors, a Taiyi Yuan Venerate Emperor would not belittle an emperor who was at the Taichu Yuan Venerate.

Furthermore, some of the weaker Taichu Yuan Venerates had to even call their fellow war emperors brothers of the same path.

In the Vast Sky Sacred Realm, once one's Dao Energy was damaged, it would result in a great decline of strength as well as the ability to cultivate further.

The subordinates who were following Luo Yunyang around tensed up. Some of them even looked as though a great calamity was about to befall them.

As Luo Yunyang thought about his elegant, majestic, and seemingly godly father, he began to ponder if it was time for him to rescue his father.

While this thought popped up in his head, a voice came from a small mountain behind him.

"How dare you try to fight me after being defeated!" A scarlet sword shot down from the sky the moment this was said.

This sword, which looked ordinary, managed to capture everyone's attention at that moment.

While watching this sword, Luo Yunyang was reminded of the four sword techniques he had acquired from the Sky Martial Divine Bowl.

Unlike those four sword techniques, this blade lacked killing intent. However, it also seemed capable of empowering anyone who was using it.

While he too was a Taichu Yuan Venerate, he believed that the best thing to do when he saw this sword was hide in the Great Extinguishing Black Hell Portrait so that he could avoid having to clash with that sword!

"Ha ha! What an insignificant genius!" Sarcasm was all over the face that had appeared on the sun.

A pair of hands appeared within the sun and began pressing onto the descending sword, reducing everything to almost nothing!

To put it simply, it was as though this pressure had compressed everything within this land, making it difficult for any object to go against the sheer pressure of this force.

However, just as the hand and the red sword were about to collide, it seemed as though the red sword emitted a tremendous power.

The magnitude of this power was far greater than that of the hand, which was coming down and was thoroughly frightening.

"How is that possible? Is that the strength of the Six-Layered Heavenly Dao?" the face on the sun asked in terror as his hand was severed by the sword-light.

He understood the prowess of the Six-Layered Heavenly Dao and was about to leave.

However, Luo Jiutian, who was controlling the Scarlet Sword, would not let him escape so easily. With one fell swoop, the sun in the sky was split into two.

"Tu Mingyang, you have to pay the price for provoking me!"

While saying all this calmly, Luo Jiutian disappeared into the sky and immediately the wind caused the clouds to shift. A large number of martialists were bracing their mental state, while those unable to handle it started coughing out blood.

Luo Yunyang was pretty interested in his father's battle prowess. While he may only have been there for a couple of days, he felt as though his dad was controlling him just like an animal.

Although he was free to do anything he wanted, he had limited autonomy over matters related to cultivation.

He was free to browse through some of the records in the ancient books, yet he knew very well that the most important matters of the Vast Sky Sacred Realm were not written in books.

The battle between Luo Jiutian and Tu Mingyang should be considered one of the most epic top battles fought in this world. It would be a waste not to go and watch.

Luo Yunyang's spiritual consciousness followed Luo Jiutian outside a giant palace built upon a large mountain. By now, Luo Jiutian's sword light had been unleashed once again.

The heavenly laws contained within this sword seemed even greater. As the powerful might of the sword descended, it instantly ripped through the defenses of the giant place and split the mountain into two.

Tu Minyang seemed to be a middle-aged martialist, but he had a pair of small eyes that made him seem devious.

While he might have been defeated by Luo Jiutian during the battle, he did not look discouraged at that point in time.

"Luo Jiutian, I would never have expected you to return. You were actually able to condense your Dao Energy when your Dao Energy had been destroyed and your cultivation level had fallen? I would never have expected you to be able to do it!" Tu Mingyang said with a tinge of respect.

"While the Dao Energy is natural, there is something called not giving up," Luo Jiutian said calmly. "Since I have decided to make a comeback, I will definitely not let myself be defeated by your low blows. I would rather die than be defeated!"

While Luo Jiutian's tone was calm, his last sentence seemed determined and anyone who listened to it would shudder.

Tu Mingyang felt the intensity in his voice. "I must seriously have a death wish if I continue to provoke a lunatic like you!"

Luo Jiutian's sword descended once more without any haste. However, it felt as though the sky and the land were split into half.

Luo Yunyang felt as though he should be able to handle this sword. However, after experiencing the might of the sword, he breathed in heavily.

His father was strong, and his mother really was...

Luo Jiutian's name had already appeared many times since he had entered the Vast Sky Sacred Realm. For example, he was the first swordsman, the most attractive man around...

While Luo Yunyang was thinking about all these things, Tu Mingyang's body had started crumbling because of the sword-light.

One could say that Tu Mingyang had considerable cultivation standards, but the blow from Luo Jiutian was just too powerful so he was reduced to pieces instantly.

Luo Yunyang snapped out of these thoughts and tried to leave. However, just as he was about to leave, he felt a massive spiritual consciousness enveloping him.

Luo Yunyang quickly gathered his own spiritual consciousness in an instant. While he did not fear his father, he did not wish to battle him right there and then.

It did not matter who would win or lose. Luo Yunyang was just not in the right frame of mind to fight.

Luo Jiutian retracted his spiritual consciousness as well.

Luo Yunyang only retracted his spiritual consciousness after Luo Jiutian had left. Meanwhile, the huge War Emperor Palace erupted into cheers of fanfare and celebration.

Although Luo Jiutian had been seated at the throne of the Four War Emperors ever since his return, no one knew how people had managed to deduce that he had lost his Dao Energy due to his transcendence.

Nobody concealed this fact, so it appeared that Luo Jiutian's war emperor position was extremely unstable.

The reason nobody openly challenged him for the position was because of the sacred laws set in place by the supreme entity. Ever since the news that Luo Jiutian's protection by the sacred laws was over had spread, some people had foolishly started to think they were powerful enough to take his position.

While the subordinates had been getting ready for this day ever since they'd received news of this battle, they still feared for their lives. For most of them, the defeat of their masters also meant that they would perish as well.

However, they had never expected that their master would fully regain his cultivation base and return even stronger.

Tu Mingyang was no ordinary martialist. He had previously been able to challenge Luo Jiutian and be on par with him for a hundred bouts. However, he had been defeated in one fell swoop this time.

It had been an easy kill without any remnants of the deed left behind.

"Young Master, you will soon get countless congratulatory visits from guests. I know you do not like to deal with customary formalities. While I may be able to welcome some of the guests, there are some who have a higher status and may have to be welcomed by you personally!"

The supervisor of the war palace was a polite fatty who was a Taishi Yuan Venerate.

The Taishi Yuan Venerate was considered a formidable position in the Vast Sky Sacred Realm. The reason this supervisor was at the beck and call of Luo Jiutian was because he was indebted to him.

Luo Yunyang was just not very keen on entertaining visitors. However, as he was about to decline the request, the supervisor said, "Young Master, amongst those who will be paying us a visit this time are sects that Master has helped you seek out. Once the guests leave, you too will have to leave with your master."

"Actually, His Majesty really has your best interests at heart. To ensure you could enter the Taixu Sect, he called in a lot of favors and used large amounts of resources."

The Taixu Sect!

Information about the Taixu Sect appeared in his head.

Although the Sacred Emperor Place ruled the Vast Sky Sacred Realm, there were two large sacred sects that surpassed the Sacred Emperor Palace.

These two great sects were the Taixu Sect and the Dakongfan Sect!

According to legend, the founders of these sects had been the disciples of the Sacred Venerate. They possessed deep knowledge and had massive influence over everything, including the Divine Emperor's palace.

Also, at least half the War Emperors from the four great sky continents originated from these two sacred sects.

His cheap father had actually found him such a sect!
