Seven Deadly Sins System

On the other hand, it was impossible for Chu Wuyao to know the conversation that took place between Destiny and the elders of the Original Desire Sect.

Facing the Heavenly Punishment, her expression was solemn and she didn't have the time to pay attention to other things.

Although Chu Wuyao didn't know the term "Heavenly Punishment", she had read many cultivation novels in her past life, and she could roughly understand that the lightning above her head should be the punishment brought by the world.

Her first thought, when she saw the clouds, was that the Cultivation World had discovered that she did not belong to this world and wished to wipe her out, but she quickly dismissed that idea.

She felt that this was very unlikely, almost impossible to happen.

If the Cultivation World could detect her identity as an extraterrestrial visitor, then it would have taken action long ago and would not have waited until now.

"So, is this caused by my breakthrough?", Chu Wuyao guessed and felt that this was the suitable explanation.

However, she quickly stopped thinking about the reason why the Heavenly Punishment appeared, knowing that it didn't actually matter.

Instead of wasting time thinking about it, it would be better to defend herself!

With that in mind, Chu Wuyao controlled the Six Paths Vision and made it raise its hand, before swinging the scythe it was holding in its right hand to meet the falling lightning strike.

"Boom!"

A loud noise echoed in her ears and she knew that if it was not for her strong cultivation, just hearing this noise would have burst her head.

Chu Wuyao braced herself, ready to react to the subsequent changes, when something unexpected happened.

The moment the lightning and the scythe met each other, the collision that she had been expecting didn't take place.

Instead, the lightning instantly dispersed, turning into many colorful little lights that floated in the air.@@novelbin@@

The very next second, these lights moved, some of them rushing towards the Six Paths Vision and some of them rushing towards Chu Wuyao.

Before Chu Wuyao could react, the lights had entered her and the Six Paths' body and dissipated.

Immediately, Chu Wuyao felt that these lights turned into a warm energy that flowed everywhere, nourishing her and the Six Paths Vision, and helping her stabilize the cultivation that was somewhat unstable because of her previous breakthrough.

Not only that but as the energy rushed into her body, bursts of inspiration continuously popped up in Chu Wuyao's mind, giving her many insights.

She was familiar with this state, and it was quite similar to when she absorbed the white chrysanthemums she obtained from Zhang Yang, except that this time, these insights were many times clearer.

A somewhat incomplete eye-shaped rune that was surrounded by lightning of various colors flashed in her pupils, while the same exact rune appeared in one of the holes behind the head of the Six Paths Vision.

As if the world sensed the incompleteness of this rune, more lighting gathered in the clouds in the sky, and fell, hitting both Chu Wuyao and the Six Paths Vision.

Just like before, the lighting didn't cause Chu Wuyao any damage but turned into colorful lights that rushed toward her, forcing her to fall into enlightenment.

Chu Wuyao knew that this was her opportunity, so she didn't hesitate.

Still in the air, she sat cross-legged and closed her eyes, turning her focus to digesting those insights.

Seemingly happy with her decision, the lightning that fell on her became more and more frequent, helping her in the process.

In the distance, when Destiny saw the cooperation between Chu Wuyao and the Heavenly Punishment, she couldn't help but become a little speechless.

She knew more than the Supernatural Realm elders and understood that even in ancient times, when True Immortals still existed, cultivators who suffered Heavenly Punishment were extremely rare.

Only the most evil people and the most talented geniuses had a slight possibility of experiencing it.

In the case of the former, it was because the world wanted to get rid of future threats, while in the case of the latter, it was because the world wished to help them.

Regardless, the cultivators who survived the Heavenly Punishment were bound to receive unimaginable benefits and were very likely to become True Immortals, as long as they didn't die unexpectedly.

But it was exactly because she knew this that Destiny was surprised.

After all, even the most talented geniuses would have to fight against the Heavenly Punishment, use every single one of their means, and spend all their trump cards to survive.

Even then, they would still need to be lucky.

However, the current scene in front of her was inconsistent with what she knew.

"Is this still considered Heavenly Punishment? You might as well call it Heavenly Blessing.", Destiny complained, but her movements were not slow.

Her mind moved and runes flashed on the ground below, forming various formations that covered the entire Inner Area.

As if she felt that this was not enough, Destiny took out a small purple cauldron and let it fly forward, making it serve as the central point of the formations.

After she made a few more preparations and became sure that no one could interrupt Chu Wuyao's enlightenment, she hurriedly left this place.

She had heard that the Heavenly Punishment would last a long time, and as the Sect Leader of the Original Desire Sect and a Transcending Tribulation Realm cultivator, she didn't have the time to stay here and personally protect Chu Wuyao's safety.

Of course, with the Original Desire Cauldron and the formations she had arranged, even cultivators at the Transcending Tribulation Realm would find it hard to deal with Chu Wuyao in a short amount of time.

Destiny believed that this time was enough for her to come here and save her.

****

While Chu Wuyao was "suffering" Heavenly Punishment, many figures had gathered in a large golden palace.

The appearance of these figures was blurry, making it impossible to distinguish their identity, but they all exuded a powerful aura.

It was clear that the aura of even the weakest figure surpassed the Supernatural Realm, while the aura of the figure who sat in the main position was even more powerful and contained a trace of transcendence.

"Supreme, why did you call us here today?", one of the blurry figures spoke up, breaking the silence in the palace.

Hearing these words, the other figures didn't speak but turned their head to look at the figure who sat in the main position, waiting for his answer.

The so-called Supreme didn't let them wait for long.

"The World-Descending Formation has been completed and the gate to the Immortal World can be opened at any time.", the Supreme announced and his words surprised the Gods around him.

They knew that the Supreme had been preparing for the invasion of the Immortal World, but they didn't expect that he would succeed so soon.

"Supreme, can Higher Gods use the World-Descending Formation to descend to the Immortal World?", the Lord of Flames spoke, asking the question that was in every figure's mind.

After all, the figures that were called to the meeting by the Supreme were all Higher Gods.

"Don't worry. I obtained the World-Descending Formation from the inheritance of the last Creation God. Let alone Higher Gods, even Supreme Gods can travel to other worlds using it."

Saying this, the Supreme paused for a brief second, before continuing:

"However, the activation of the World-Descending Formation will consume the origin of the Divine World. At the moment, the origin is just enough to allow four Higher Gods to enter the Immortal World."

"Otherwise, the Divine World will suffer irrecoverable damage."

"So, at first, only a few Higher Gods will be sent to accompany the Medium Gods, Lower Gods, and mortal practitioners."

When some figures heard this, they opened their mouths, ready to argue.

There were many Higher Gods in the Divine World and since only four Higher Gods would be selected, it was unlikely that they would be included.

Facing the possibility of plundering another world, how could they not fight for benefits?

Unfortunately, before anyone could speak up, a powerful aura erupted from the Supreme's body and spread everywhere, oppressing the Higher Gods inside the golden palace.

Regardless of their strength, every single one of the Higher Gods immediately sensed a powerful threat and felt that the Supreme only needed one thought to wipe them out.

Seeing this, they couldn't help but tremble in fear.

Thankfully, just when they were beginning to become nervous, the aura of the Supreme returned to his body, and he turned back to normal.

However, having experienced the previous scene, the Higher Gods no longer dared to argue with his decision.

The Supreme nodded his head slightly and opened his mouth to speak:

"The first Gods who enter the Immortal World will be tasked with collecting information about the Immortal World and sending it back."

"Doing so is bound to be dangerous."

"God of Fantasy, Goddess of Hunting, Blood Lord, God of Conspiracy." Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire

"You four should start getting ready. I'll activate the World-Descending formation in the next few days."

After he said this, the Supreme didn't give the Gods he mentioned any chance to reply, and his figure suddenly dispersed.

When the Higher Gods saw this, they understood that the meeting was over.

The eyes of some Gods fluctuated as they thought of the Supreme's orders, but their years of experience made it impossible for others to see their true thoughts.
