C1 Great Malice?

Saint Essence Continent. A boundless forest overflowing with green, as far as the eye could see. It actually traversed through a region, with a vast and borderless area, which caused people to be amazed.

Birds chirped in the forest. Insects and ants were everywhere. In the distance, an enormous mountain-like creature was resting on a piece of green land. It opened its mouth like a black hole and began to devour the essence energy of the world. The silver snake-like essence could be clearly seen as it converged and entered its mouth.

Besides the ancient trees in the sky, there weren't even any insects or ants to be seen around it!

"..."

Hundred kilometers away, a towering ancient city seemed to have existed since ancient times.

At this moment, within the ancient city, the sound of chanting could be heard from a large mansion. The sound echoed in the sky, causing people to feel a sense of respect.

This mansion was very big. Small trees lined the inside, and streams flowed in all directions. The palace was vast. There were even a few hills that were lush and verdant. The yard was full of vitality!

On one of the small mountains, there were several hundred youths and young girls sitting cross-legged. Their eyes were filled with reverence as they looked at an old man standing in front of them.

On the other side, an old man sat cross-legged on a limestone. His hair and beard were all white, and even his robe was white. Even though he was quite old, upon closer inspection, it seemed as if the old man's entire body was filled with boundless vitality. His face was rosy and his spirit was hale and hearty, giving him a rather sage-like appearance.

When the chanting stopped, the old man gently stroked his white beard, his deep eyes carrying a trace of majesty. He looked at the hundreds of young disciples and said: "Alright, today's lecture is over, whoever has questions can ask them now, I will answer them all!"

"Elder, I want to know what is the difference between a cultivator and a mortal?" A teenager about 15 or 16 years old asked.

A light flashed in the old man's eyes, as if he didn't expect this young man to ask such a profound question. He thought for a moment and then said, "The biggest difference between a cultivator and an ordinary person is that the latter is going with the heavens. The former is going against the heavens, and their dao paths are different!"

"If an ordinary person is in his later years, would he still have the chance to go against the heavens?" Another youth asked, looking at the old man with a puzzled expression.

"Every year is in the spring, and every day is in the morning. The reason why cultivators could go against the heavens was because they had opened up their body's potential ahead of time. Only by doing so could they go against the current step by step. If you step into old age, your life force will dry up and your Divine Fault will become formless. Do you think it is possible to cultivate it? " The old man didn't answer, but his meaning was clear.

Early in the morning, the bright morning clouds were like specks of golden light that sprinkled down, causing people's minds to be at ease.

Amidst the discussions, the elder and the youngsters passionately chatted amongst themselves. Only after an hour did the place gradually return to silence.

"Since everyone is done with the questions, today's explanation is done. Disperse, we will continue tomorrow morning!" The old man looked at them kindly, as if he were looking at his own children.

"Elder, this … Is there any theory regarding ghosts and gods in this world? " Suddenly, just as everyone was about to leave, a youth in the crowd spoke out. He seemed to be the oldest amongst the group, excluding the old man.

Hearing that, the old man stopped and his face became cold. He looked at the young man with anger in his eyes and said, "How many times have I told you that there are no ghosts in this world, only gods!" For a grand leading figure of the Saint Essence Mansion young generation to actually ask a question that even a child would understand! "

"Then... Where did the god come from? " Noticing the old man's anger, the young man hesitated for a moment and boldly asked.

"From the sky, from the Immortal God Realm!" The old man shouted, seemingly unwilling to answer this idiotic question.

"Are you sure you won't come out from underground?" The young man asked again, and the doubt on his face deepened.

"You are too presumptuous. Anyone who can soar into the sky and enter the Immortal God Realm is a person of great virtue and prestige. A senior whose name has reigned throughout the ages cannot be insulted like you!" The old man roared and pointed out the young man.

However, the old man soon noticed that something wasn't right. All of the students in front of him were dumbstruck. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at a certain direction.

"Is it a human or a god?" The young man spoke, his eyes glazed over as he pointed in that direction, as if he had seen something inconceivable.

Seeing that everyone was in a daze, the old man was just about to angrily rebuke when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine and a bone-piercing cold wind blow past his neck.

This was because the elder felt that his entire body was suddenly somewhat uncomfortable, as if there was something … A hand was squeezing his butt!

Twisting his stiff neck, the old man looked to the side with a puzzled expression.

However, there was no one here. The old man turned his head around, but when he realized that no one was around, he became puzzled. Could it be that he was mistaken?

However, when he followed everyone's gazes, his eyes widened, his neck straightened, and his body staggered, almost falling off the limestone!

This was because the old man had unexpectedly seen a bare arm suddenly emerge from the soil beside the stone he was sitting on. A slightly pale palm was kneading his buttocks!

"Holy shit, there's a ghost!"

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, this esteemed elder felt as if he had been scared out of his wits. With a whooshing sound, he jumped up and ran wildly. Only after he had entered the crowd did he pat his chest with a lingering fear.

"Elder, didn't you say that ghosts and monsters don't exist in this world?" At this moment, that young man had a look of contempt on his face as he looked at the old man. It was as if he had not expected his elder to be this cowardly.

Not only that, but at this moment all the youths and young girls were looking at him with a peculiar expression. Their eyes were all filled with contempt, as if they didn't expect this elder to be so small!

Noticing the strange gazes from the surroundings, the old man's body stiffened. Then, his old face became even redder; even his ears were red!

Coughing lightly, the elder blew at his beard and glared at the young man, concealing his embarrassment. He did not answer the young man's question, but suddenly shouted, "Everyone quickly retreat, this thing might have a great danger!"

"Vicious!"

Hearing the two words "great calamity", the several hundred youths simultaneously trembled. Their eyes revealed panic as they followed the elder and retreated a hundred meters away, looking at Qing Shi from afar.

"Clan Elder, your Cultivation Level is profound, hurry up and suppress it, or else if this vicious person escapes, our Saint Essence Mansion will be in danger!" At this moment, some of the disciples opened their mouths and cast gazes at the old man.

This was because 'Big Vicious' had actually grabbed onto the limestone. From his posture, it seemed as if he was trying to climb upwards and break out of the earth!

"That's right, the elders have invited you to suppress the great evildoer!"

At this moment, all the disciples looked at the old man with hopeful faces. Their eyes were filled with hope!

"Shut up! If it is needed, I will suppress it and make it instantly perish. Right now, we will just wait and see. Quickly go down the mountain and call the other elders over! " The old man shouted with a confident expression. However, no matter how one looked at it, his face was filled with guilt!

Indeed, it was so. The old man's heart was thumping hard, because even someone as powerful as him, when the Spiritual Sense appeared, it was actually impossible to detect any trace of 'fierce' aura!

It was unfathomable, unstoppable!
