Unfettered Steps
Yang Tian arrived at a hazy area. Someone with the voice of an elder said, “To enter this door, you must execute Unfettered Omnidirectional Steps. Do not enter unless you have mastered it.”
Yang Tian gulped, speculating he was in the jade slip containing Unfettered Steps. Omnidirectional Steps was a derivative of Unfettered. How profound for the jade slip to require Omnidirectional Steps to open the door. Either way, he figured it was one of Unfettered Valley’s divine skills. Hence, he smiled.
Yang Tian gathered his Divine Soul into a single body and produced eight after images in the void. He heard a loud sound by his ear. The mist formed a new space. A golden-winged celestial peng over five hundred metres was found in the small space. It gusted up gales with a flap of its wings. It moved so fast it was gone in the blink of an eye.
Unfettered was created after witnessing a celestial peng’s speed. The technique was split into three layers in the following order: Air Travel Layer, Great Void Layer and Freedom Layer. Once one reached Freedom Layer, they could travel at absurd speeds!
Yang Tian thought he obtained Unfettered Steps so easily. Little did he know the seal was undone a few days ago; Xiao Yuan waltzed off to Big Spirit City before he mastered it. A skill treated as a clan guardian wasn’t supposed to be taken with one out of the sect. Xiao Yuan just happened to be arrogant enough to think he was above the rules. Little did he expect to ever be killed. Hence, Yang Tian accessed something he shouldn’t have been able to on his own.
After reading through the ancient text that appeared, Yang Tian sighed. He only had the manual for the first layer. After further deliberation, he shook his head since he saw the positive side; he was already very lucky. He just needed to hunt down the other parts. Then, he shut his eyes and began scrutinising the manual. With Omnidirectional Steps as his foundation, the first layer was much easier to master.
Yang Tian was only two and half kilometres away from Big Spirit City.
Bai Clan was so tense their ancestors featured an appearance in case Unfettered Valley came for them.
Xiao Hai: “Son of a bitch!”
Xiao Hai summoned a jade jar to his hand. There were cracks on it. Puzzled at the sight of the cracks, he wondered what happened. He opened the lid, allowing wisps of pure Soul Qi to escape. He was livid to see Xiao Yuan’s body vanish. It didn’t make any sense for Xiao Yuan’s Divine Soul to suffer injuries under his watchful eyes.
Xiao Yuan scowled. “Dad, he vanquished my Divine Soul in my interspatial ring…”
Xiao Hai clenched his fists. “I swear I’ll catch him!”
Xiao Yuan’s Divine Soul convulsed, and he panicked. “The first layer of Unfettered Divine Skill is in my interspatial ring. I forgot to put it back to the manual room when I left.”
“What?!” Not even Xiao Hai could absolve the blame if Yang Tian learnt the first layer! He cursed, “You foolish son!”
“Dad… help me… I don’t want to die… I don’t want to die… Help me…”
There was no way Xiao Hai could hide the fact they lost the manual as records were kept in their manual storage. If they returned without it, they’d be marching to their own deaths. The problem was Xiao Yuan’s Divine Soul was vanishing; he’d completely die if they didn’t return to the valley.
Wu Li looked cunning. “Second Elder, I heard Bai Clan has a soul accumulation pool. I sugg-“
“A soul accumulation pool…”
Wu Li performed a hold fist salute and smiled sarcastically. “Indeed. That kid and Bai Clan’s eldest daughter are clearly more than friends. We can force him to show himself if we kidnap her. Then, we can force him to return the manual. That would be two birds with one stone!”
Xiao Yuan still couldn’t forget Ningxue. “Great idea. Capture the wench!”
Xiao Yuan angered Xiao Hai more with his insatiable lust for women. “Fool! You’re going to die because of women sooner or later.”
Bai Clan got busy. The upper echelon felt pressured. The results were unpredicted. They knew nothing about Unfettered Steps. Ningxue and Ningxiu never mentioned anything about it. It would bring Bai Clan endless grief if it was mentioned. Yang Tian was comparable to an ant burrow.
Bai Clan’s ancestor appeared in the sky during their conversation and peered outside. Bai Clan’s adepts were excited; they believed their ancestor could turn the tables. They tensed up. They lamented he should’ve come sooner. Their ancestor asked, “May I ask what you are here for, Brother Hai?”
Xiao Hai appeared in the conference hall. “Hmph, you still not dead?!”
Bai Clan was angry but too scared to speak up. Nevertheless, their ancestor chuckled to himself whilst staying vigilant.
“I heard you have a soul accumulation pool. Open it up; I need to use it,” said Xiao Hai, snickering as he swept his gaze over the people around. “If you don’t want me to personally find my way there, do as I say.”
That was a blatant threat.
“Since you wish to use it, sure.” Bai Clan’s elder snickered to himself and chuckled aloud.
There wasn’t much Soul Qi left in there, and it would’ve taken decades to replenish.
Ningxue smiled.
Bai Clan’s informed upper echelon snickered to themselves.
Bai Clan watched Wu Li and Xiao Hai enter the area. Bai Clan clenched their fists. Juniors probably finally understood what clans, clan humiliation, and glory were!
“Get in here!” Xiao Hai dragged Ningxiu in using a vacuum attack as soon as he stepped in.
“How dare you!” brayed Bai Clan’s ancestor, getting between them and palming the suction force away.
“Tsk, tsk, competing with me in speed? Dream on…” The sly Xiao Hai switched to his true target: Ningxue.
“Sister…” cried Ningxiu, eyes red.
“I hope you don’t do anything unwise. Of course, if you want to save her, then bring me the son of a bitch. Else, I don’t mind imprinting some unforgettable pain on her!”
Bai Clan was enraged!
