Chapter 3099 - Transcending the Mundane, Breaking out of the Universe

"Are you still not dead, you old sc.u.m?" Huang Daosheng was so angry that as soon as he finished speaking, he slapped the old man who was sweeping the floor directly in the face.

The old man cried out in pain and fell directly to the ground. Even though he used to be a foundationeer, he was now old and weak. Half of his face sank in from the slap, and his mouth was full of blood.

"I’m just sweeping the floor, why’re you hitting people?" The old man struggled to get up, coughing up blood as he spoke.

"What's wrong with hitting you?" Huang Daosheng's golden hair fluttered and his eyes were filled with anger. He took a few steps forward and kicked the old man in the chest. The power of a twelfth-level cosmic cartographer blasted into the old man's chest.

The old man spat out a mouthful of black blood and his chest directly caved in, flesh and blood spurting out. His entire body flew out, dragging the heavy shackles with him, and crashed into the outer wall of the Grand Myriadpath Ruins. The air was filled with the sound of his old bones falling apart.

Facing the old man on the verge of death, Huang Daosheng’s subordinates never expected him to be so ruthless when just venting some anger.

"Big Brother Sheng, even though killing people in Myriadpath Valley is unregulated, it doesn't sound good if it gets out. It’ll affect your reputation." Huang Jiaoyuan, the elder twin sister, hurriedly grabbed his arm. One was 2.8 meters tall while the other was just under 2 meters. The scene was quite funny, like a mother trying to stop her mischievous son.

"Do I still have

a reputation?" When Huang Daosheng heard that, his anger flared even more. Not only did he shake off Huang Jiaoyuan, but he also struck out at the old man, completely treating him as a punching bag.

Just as Tianming was leaving, he suddenly heard the commotion behind him. When he turned around, he saw the old man being pressed against the outer wall of the Grand Myriadpath Ruins and Huang Daosheng was going crazy, punching the old man again and again.

"Black ring? Living with this ring in Myriadpath Valley until now must have been very bitter. Do you want me to help you relieve your suffering?"

Tianming was completely caught off guard by the Little Lion King's actions. "Taking your anger out on an innocent old man? You're nothing but a beast, unworthy of being called a human being!" Tianming's eyes instantly filled with black fog, his blood boiling with anger and his entire body surging with cosm.o.f.orce.

Just as he was about to rush toward the Little Lion King, his hand was suddenly grabbed by Lan Yun. The reverend’s power sealed his body, suppressing him at close range. Even though Tianming was filled with overwhelming anger, he couldn't move a finger.

"Let go of me!" Tianming fiercely stared at her.

"If you don't take action now, this kid will calm down after beating the old man a few times. But if you do, and Huang Daosheng finds out that you like to play the hero, he'll kill this old man when you aren’t around." Lan Yun's voice was cold and concise.

"You won’t do anything either?" Tianming gritted his teeth.

"The more we interfere, the more likely the old man is to die. Why bother? He's been here getting regular beatings for a long time. For him, it's just business as usual. Don't meddle in other people's affairs and end up getting someone killed. A person only has one life, and once it's gone, it's gone," Lan Yun indifferently said.

Her words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Tianming's head. The evil impulses did not affect his sense of right and wrong, but they did exacerbate his emotions. Anger would turn into even more anger, love into even more love, dominance into even more dominance... and justice would also become more just. So in this situation, if Lan Yun didn't restrain him, he wouldn't be able to control himself.

Now, that bucket of cold water had indeed slowly suppressed the anger in his heart and the black fog in his eyes began dissipating. However, the anger didn't disappear, it just sank to the bottom of his heart, ready to erupt at any moment.

"House Huang, Little Lion King, Huang Daosheng?" Tianming coldly looked at the large group of gold ring disciples. Not only did they not stop Huang Daosheng, but some even cheered him on.

As a prospective eminent, the status of Huang Daosheng was very high. With the support of an ancient house behind him, if he beat someone up here, even if people looked down on him in their hearts, no one would really stop him. As Lan Yun said, the old man getting beaten was just a common occurrence.

Tianming could only grit his teeth and pretend not to care. As Lan Yun said, the Little Lion King was just venting his anger. But the old man was bound to die if Huang Daosheng realized he was making Tianming angry.

“You killed Huang Daoxiong, but that brat had to rely on his old man to open doors for him just to get his first place in the Skyward Ranking. What a joke. If you can take down this Little Lion King one day, that would be considered real skill. Of course, playing tricks on others using speed doesn't count. What I mean is a genuine, uncontested victory. It's best to do it in the Ascension Colosseum! If you defeat him there, you'll be able to enter the upper ruins and observe the caeli of the valley lords. That's what real skill is, understand?” In Lan Yun's mind, she still believed that even if Tianming could do it, it would be many years later. She was just casually speaking, because in her eyes, Tianming wouldn't have that many years.

“Defeat him? I just want to publicly slaughter him,” Tianming said with gloomy eyes, lowering his head. He didn't pay attention to the commotion behind him and directly left with Lan Yun. That, in fact, was a method of protecting the old man who was sweeping the floor.

As Lan Yun had said, the Little Lion King was just venting his anger. After a few hits, he found it tasteless and could only kick the old man aside.

"Kill him? In Myriadpath Valley, all disciples identified as prospective eminents will receive certain protections from the rules. For example, people will forcibly stop their fights. It’s a privilege for these disciples," Lan Yun said.

"Fairness is promised, but privileges are also established?" Tianming asked through gritted teeth.

Lan Yun shrugged and smiled. "Isn't that obvious? So-called fairness is just to serve the privileged, not the other way around. It isn’t like fairness comes first and then privileges, but that privileges come first and then fairness. Understand?"

"So this Myriadpath Valley is just the same as any other faction in the world," Tianming sneered.

"What else could it be? Where there’s people and compet.i.tion, so does society form as well. Society isn’t just about fighting and killing, it's also about human relations and worldly affairs. People are driven by emotions, and there’s no pure pursuit of martial dao in the world. Everyone's strength has reasons, either for status, position, respect, women, treasures.... Those are the most primitive driving forces written in your blood. If you say there's someone who has no desires and only pursues the martial dao, seeking the limits of life, then I'm sorry, but his life is bound to be empty!

"An empty life means there’ll be no content in their order, and they will not go far. Cultivation is about stepping through the world, transcending the mundane, breaking out of the universe, and embracing the laws of the world!" Lan Yun seriously said.

"At this moment, you finally seem like a real master,” Tianming said.
