Daily life of a cultivation judge



The mystical light and the red-black scythe-like light from the elderly man's attack collided bringing an even more calamitous explosion and destruction.

The red boiling liquid below got eviscerated along with the corpses that were around. The red scythe-like glyph from the red abyssal thorn tree sprung into action when the collision force produced by the two attacks, spilled over to the flood dragons.

It obliterated any spilling energy that went in that direction.

After a few seconds, the sounds of armageddon silenced when the elderly man was able to slice through the mystical light.

However, immediately after the light disappeared, he vomited blood, as the wounds on his torso flared up with blue lightning flashes and cracks spreading from the holes.

He hurriedly plucked about a dozen red pearl fruits from the red abyssal thorn tree and speedily consumed them.

The cracks that were rapidly spreading around his body were halted and slowly started receding back. They only disappeared completely when the elderly man consumed, one red pearl fruit that stood out from the rest. It had a golden light flowing through it, along with dao marks. 

He had a frosted expression as he ate it, leaving only four similar-looking pearl fruits on the tree.

"Dammit!!!!!!!" he roared as he angrily punched the ground below him creating a massive crater below him which immediately closed up from a radiant glow of the red abyssal thorn tree.

"I'm sorry about that, old friend. I lost myself.." the elderly man said.

"We need to change locations.." he added.

The red abyssal thorn tree as if in agreement with him, produced another red light, which was more intense, as its body got covered by dense ancient runes.

The space trembled and then split apart revealing the dark grey void. The whole mountain range disappeared into it, with the space closing up.

...

A few seconds earlier, skies of the southern continent, stood two men, one old with a kind-looking face, the other young, with white hair and an otherworldly charm to him.

"Mmh.." the elderly man's gaze was trained in a particular direction with a deep piercing look.

"What is it, brother Zhu Qiu?" asked the white-haired young man.

"Our friend is a rather skilled one. They have already altered the location and deflected it elsewhere with enough skill to fool most soul formation experts. Even I am struggling. I can only vaguely detect the original placing.." said the elderly man as he formed a seal with one of his hands, creating golden leaves that gently and hazily floated in alternating directions.

"He must be pretty skilled for him to have even the skills to mislead your detection. But he hasn't yet done it, has he?

How long can you pinpoint him?" asked the white-haired youth as he took out an azure-colored long sword that looked like it had been carved from the skies.

"About three seconds.."

"That should be more than enough time to send them a little gift for all their troubles. I'd feel a little indignant if I came all this way for nothing.."

"You're sure to cause a commotion again  Tao Wen, like the last time your sword was brought out.."

"Can't be helped. They almost killed our young saplings, I have to get them back for that, even if only a little, besides, with the way things have been going off late, we need to remind the continent we are still there, otherwise more injuries and death will come for them.."

"Well, when you put it like that, even I need to put my old bones to work before I retire.."

Behind the kind-looking elderly man, a massive radiant colored illusory jade tree appeared. The jade tree looked like it could hold up the heavens and the earth.

A burst of radiant light filled with dao lights surrounded it as it shot that light in a particular direction.

Seeing the light, the white-haired young man whose demeanor and air were casual suddenly transformed as he pulled his sword over his shoulders with the tip floating over his hand almost as if he was aiming at something.

An ethereal light surrounded him, as the sword in his hand let out a joyous hum that echoed for hundreds of thousands of kilometers from where he was.

"A million starlights .." he calmly muttered as he jabbed his sword forward.

A sublime sword cry was produced followed by a brilliant white light that neatly sliced apart the space everywhere it moved exposing the deep void. The dark grey mist contained within evaporated from being touched by that light. Were Mo Liwei here, he would be gobsmacked. Just a tiny bit of the mist could erode his body in an instant if not handled carefully, but the light produced by the white-haired young man's strike had disintegrated every single void mist in its trail.

Within that darkness, there had been humongous whale-sized creatures releasing auras powerful enough to drive a palace realm expert crazy, but they all fled without question when that light appeared.

A flash of white light carrying the force and momentum of an entire galaxy illuminated cities, kingdoms, empires, sects, the void, bringing with it a terrifying pressure that alarmed old monsters in the soul-formation realm to young children with no cultivation bases. 

All quivered in terror beneath that radiant light that flashed and disappeared before their eyes could register, leaving behind a torn space, and overbearing pressure as evidence it was there.

All who saw it knew that whoever or whatever was being targetted, was surely to be obliterated to dust.

The light traveled for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, traversing large territories of land and water, before it disappeared into the void.

...

Present time

"They have disappeared.." muttered the kind-looking elderly man as the jade tree behind him disappeared.

"I figured as much, even my intent was hazy in pinpointing them. I think we need to inform the president about it. There was an uncanny aura, one belonging to the Ghost Lamp Saccorhagus Sect..." said the white-haired young man with a grim expression on his face.

The kind-looking elderly man who had an easy-going air to him suddenly turned stiff as his pupils trembled at the name.

"Those madmen?! They're still alive?!" he said as a murderous look appeared on his face.

The air around him vibrated from his fury as the clouds above him darkened with a calamitous power brewing from it.

"It could be just one of their grounds, but with the means those guys had, I would not be surprised if some survived.

The president and the others, regularly scour the continent in search of any survivors, but none has been caught.."

"We can't let that blight resurface, I don't think the continent can take what happened back then.." the kind-looking elderly man said with a somber expression.

He waved his sleeves and a space vortex appeared with the two walking in.
