The Nine Coloured Paragon - Chapter 7
In the skies above the carriage, Jianyu surveyed the surrounding area in his soul form.
Incredibly powerful souls could survive outside of the body, influence the physical world and utilise martial techniques through different energies, however even the most powerful souls would be unable to sustain themselves for extended periods without attaching themselves to an object or living body.
Hence Jianyu’s illusory eyes darted around the skies until they landed on a group of roughly fifty people descending from the heavens.
He smirked lightly seeing them.
These were the people he had sensed earlier in his death like state and he knew their purpose in coming here was to kill him, however he was already “dead”.
He would be unable to search for a new body without ensuring his daughters safety first, hence he darted towards the group of people.
As Jianyu neared he ascertained the person he was looking for, in the centre of the group she swaggered through the skies riding a blood red phoenix with a cold persona surrounded by a personal guard of fifty other beautiful women travelling on other divine flying beasts.
This entourage was quite a spectacle to behold.
Jianyu approached fearlessly, passing by the frontline guards undetected.
Each woman was a God realm expert, but not even they could detect Jianyu’s monstrous presence in his soul form.
Only the woman seated on the blood phoenix furrowed her brows lightly.
Sensing his presence she furrowed her brows signaling the entourage to halt.
She called out, “Which Master graces us, the Soft-Slaughter Sisterhood with their presence?”, she inquired respectfully.
She was at the Elder God realm of cultivation, giving her the qualification to establish her own force within the Azure Star Universe, however beings that could hide themselves in her presence were at least a whole cultivation realm higher than her!
This meant them being at the level of a Transcendant God at the minimum, which was the final level of known cultivation, only the King of Gods had surpassed this realm.
Hence she adopted a subservient attitude towards the being.
Her sisters were baffled by her call, unable to sense Jianyu’s presence.
Jianyu floated through the air, stopping a few meters from the woman, and he released his aura completely.
“BOOM!”, the surrounding space distorted as the beasts released fretful wails distancing themselves from the disruption instinctively, only the Blood Phoenix shuddered before steadying itself facing off against this monster.
To everyone’s surprise however it was a young man in an illusory form, rather than some ancient cultivator awakening from their seclusion or a terrifying beast.
The woman on the phoenix was extremely flustered gazing at the young man who was releasing that dreadful energy.
Before she had time to think, Jianyu sent a message to her mind.
“I am the one you seek to kill, however I am already dead. Considering I have fulfilled your mission for you, how about you do me a favour?”
Dumbstruck by this she stuttered out, “If the request is within my, Maria Rubio’s capability then I shall see that it is completed.”
“Mmm good good,”, Jianyu replied nodding in satisfaction at her compliance, “Then my daughter, Xiaoling will be under your tutelage.”
Maria’s heart-rate sped up hearing this. ‘Is there such a coincidence in this world?’ She asked herself.
Maria was searching for a disciple which was to her liking to which she could impart her legacy, after-all, no one, not even Gods live forever.
Maria nodded joyfully facing Jianyu, wasn’t this killing two birds with one stone?
Not only did she complete her assassination mission, but she also received a disciple who, if she was anything like her father, would have incredible potential and aptitude in the field of cultivation.
“I will return after a short period of time, and at that time, if I find out anything has happened to Ling’er, I don’t think I need to speak of the consequences.”, he stated firmly, the space around Maria convulsed making it hard for her to breathe.
“O-ofcourse!”, she replied.
“Good”, Jianyu then turned swiftly, pointing at the carriage, “Alongside my daughter, there are two old men within, give them something nice and I shall return the favour unto you in the future.”
Without wasting anymore time he vanished from before the entourage shooting across the now darkened skies.
Maria looked towards her subordinates,”A new sister will be joining us soon, one with limitless potential! Our Sister-hood shall ascend to a near holy status within the Azure Star Universe and experts will travel from far and wide to pay hommage to us!”
The women surrounding her revealed fiery and impassioned gazes, wondering as to what had just transpired, yet reluctant to ask they followed Maria excitedly towards the carriage.
***
High above the clouds, Jianyu floated in his soul form.
He had relaxed greatly from his previously panicked state.
While he hid it well from others, he was truly concerned about Xiaoling and ensuring her safety in his abesence.
Without Maria realising it, he had performed a technique which was similar to hypnotism on her, preventing Maria from harbouring any malicious intentions towards his daughter.
Jianyu therefore remained focused on the task at hand, finding a new body.
Gazing at the world below him, there lay two large land masses , each seperated by a vast and near endless ocean.
Closing his eyes and using up part of his soul, he sifted through the closest continent searching for the ideal vessel for him to start a new life.
Soon after he shook his head in disappointment.
It was exceedingly difficult to find a body which harboured traits similar to his own, and not only that but the soul residing within had to be in dire straits in order for him to occupy the body.
He flicked his gaze onto the latter continent, scanning through the potential candidates slowly, his gaze became more and more gloomy as time passed, his soul power was withering and his consciousness fading.
Suddenly as all hope seemed lost, he revealed a joyous expression.
Propelling his soul across the planet with the little remnant power he possessed, he swiftly darted down to the planet to enter the bowels of a mortal city below…
