"You're asking about Death Reverence?"

"Is that his name?" commented Wang Wei. The Corpse Selling Sect's founder was a mystery because no one knows where the original sect started. Two branches claimed to be the main one and where the founder originated: from the Soul Sublimation World and the Underworld Yin World.

The Corpse Selling Sect in both these Heaven WIll World has cultivated 5 Great Emperors and is the branch with the highest number.

"Do you want to deal with the Corpse Selling Sect?" asked Wu Hong, somewhat worried.

"Yes. I feel their faction's Qi Luck is worth the trouble. But I want to know your opinion."

"I don't know."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm somewhat conflicted," reiterated Wu Hong. "Part of me wants you to deal with them as this might be the only chance. However, I also don't want you to have anything to do with Death Reverence, especially early in your cultivation journey."

"So, who is this person that even makes you hesitate?"

"Death Reverence was a Boundless Paragon on par with me and your ancestor; he played a significant role in all major events. However, we did not like him since we were always wary of him."

"Wary of what?"

"Of his ambitions, ideals, goals," stated Wu Hong. "When he was young, he became obsessed with death. He believed death was a beautiful thing that all things in existence should experience."

"That's dangerous."

"Yes, with his unparallel talent, it was a recipe for disaster."

"So, what exactly did he do?"

"We originally thought he spread the Corpse Selling Sect throughout the Endless Void to gather more Luck and stuff. However, something he did during the Second War of Origin made us realize his real intention."

Wu Hong paused to recollect, and Wang Wei became intrigued.

"There was this one particular Source Chaos World that was troublesome to conquer. Some unknown power isolated it, and we could not directly descend. We infiltrated it by sending clones, hoping for them to cultivate and rise to the top before taking it down from the inside.

"Unfortunately, this method failed–until Death Reverence showed up. The main issue with this Source Chaos World was that our clones would be discovered and destroyed when we tried to break the Empyrean Realm."

"Was it different for Death Reverence?" asked Wang Wei.

"A little. After proving the Dao, he spread the Corpse Selling Sect throughout the All Savant World while his clone hid and did not continue to cultivate. After countless Yuan Epochs, once it had spread in every corner of the world, he gathered the power of all the sects to instantly return to the Paragon Realm."

Wu Hong squinted her eyes. "We thought we had finally succeeded. But that's when he showed his fang. The Corpse Selling Sects were some sort of ceremony where he turned the entire All Savant World into a world of death, killing all sentient beings–no matter the realm."

Wang Wei had a severe look on his face. "Why would he do that since it would reveal his plans for the Eternal Ascension World?"

"We don't know exactly. The best guess we had was something precious was inside the All Savant World. The very thing probably responsible for preventing us from entering and restricting our development."

Wang Wei caressed his temple as he felt things were more complicated than he previously thought. He was only greedy for their sect's Qi Luck; he did not expect to be dealing with a powerful secret boss.

"What happened next?"

"We did not hesitate to besiege him. After all, we did not want our home to suffer the same fate."

"And he survived?" asked Wang Wei in shock.

"Yes. Not only that, he ran away with only severe injuries." She remembered that battle. Countless Peak Boundless Paragons tried their best to eliminate Death Reverence, but he still escaped. Later on, he even participated in the Ultimate Taboo after the All Savant World suddenly disappeared from the face of the universe.

"That's scary to think. In that case, what about the Corpse Selling Sect? Why didn't you guys remove them?"

"We tried but failed because of too many restrictions."

"Great Emperors cannot intervene whatsoever in the lower dimensions after the ascension. Empyreans can be sent a projection, but they can only attack if willing to receive punishment from Heavenly Dao. And their attacks also have limits. Paragons can also send projections and attacks. But there is a limit and the level of the attack. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}
