Magic Sect of Beauties: The Strongest Mage is in a Cultivation World

"Yang Wei... an anomaly in the Martial World. The conqueror of the Magic World and holder of the Five Supreme Magics. A Chaos Lord of the Celestial Altar. A transcendent being that possesses over three Epochal Laws, known far and wide as the Emperor of Magic..."

The young boy rubbed his chin as he spoke with his voice that carried a child-like charm that could only be called cute.

He tilted his head.

"...What's he doing in an apron?"

The boy folded his arms and grumbled a bit as he tried to understand why someone who was supposedly this powerful was wearing an apron and preparing to massage a woman. It made no sense at all to him.

"Well, Shen Bao did say he was a strange one," spoke a calm Yu Fa to the young boy.

The young boy scratched the back of his head looking even more confused than before. "That doesn't really answer much, but I guess it should be expected from BaoBao. He never gives anyone a straight answer... actually, he'll give you anything but a straight answer."

This boy was named Xu Xiaotang.

A fellow with an appearance no older than twelve. He had long, flowing red hair which he'd tied into a ponytail. As for his dressing, the only thing that looked more elegant than those white and golden robes was the vast celestial expanse they were in.

In this beautiful expanse of an endless sea of stars and clouds, there was only one huge roundtable present there.

It was an intricately designed roundtable made from a valuable white material and decorated with what looked like diamonds and gold, yet with far more elegance.

One would think, being a place of such undefinable beauty, why was there simply a roundtable there and nothing else? It was quite simple, that was all that there needed to be in the presence of five 4th-Path Cultivators!

Xu Xiaotang in the simplest way could best be called a prodigy who was able to cultivate a Celestial Soul Heart at a very young age and then climb to the apex of his Dao Layer before crossing into the Nine Divine Heavens at in an even shorter time!

He, along with Yu Fa and the other three cultivators seated round the table, made up the entire Heavenly Court!

The Nine Divine Heavens was one of the rare, transcendent expanses out there. It stretched on endlessly as a layer upon layer of heavenly realms. It towered above any Dao Layer and even surpassed the Eternal Lands. No Immortal cultivator would even think about crossing it unless they were absolutely certain they had truly cultivated a Heaven-crossing spirit root.

Only people in the Divine Realm, along with True Celestials, might dare to attempt crossing into this realm, and even then, it'd cause them a little trouble.

The Heavenly Court was a divine tribunal structured by "higher orders" where Divine cultivators called Divinities, judged the matters of every sect as far as the Nine Divine Heavens could see. A place where the actions of cultivators and even True Celestials were weighed and their ultimate fate decided based on their actions.

They were the living concepts of an iron hand which everyone must fear!

No sect dared misbehave with the knowledge that the Heavenly Court was watching. There was no "known" Dao Layer in existence that could support the resources required for Divine Realm cultivation. As such, one had to cultivate a Heaven-crossing spirit root and walk across the Infinite Void Sea in hopes to touch the Nine Divine Heavens.

"Hmm," Xu Xiaotang rubbed his chin as he grinned mischievously. His eyes couldn't leave the rift in space which he was using to watch Yang Wei. After a small chuckle, he said, "I'm really eager to see how strong this Yang Wei is."

Three of the four Divine cultivators were silent, only Yu Fa had the time to entertain Xu Xiaotang's constant rambling. "So, what do you suggest? Transport him here first and then crush him? Although, I doubt he'd be able to survive here for too long..." he smiled a bit, leaning on the magnificent roundtable before him.

"Hmm."

Xu Xiaotang truly took Yu Fa's words into consideration, but after thinking on it for a short five seconds, he shook his head absentmindedly.

"No, that'd be boring... and I don't wanna disturb Divine-Emperor."

However, the Divine-Emperor who he spoke about didn't seem to have an issue with whatever choice Xu Xiaotang chose. To prove this, Divine-Emperor told him, "Feel free to do as you like...

I give you full control." It wasn't that he said this because he wanted Xu Xiaotang to have some of his usual childish fun which correlated with the young boy misusing his power; rather he wanted him to understand a few things about Yang Wei from personal experience.

Yu Fa looked at Divine-Emperor and raised an eyebrow, "Are you really going to allow him this sort of freedom?"

"Is that a problem?" Divine-Emperor simply asked.

What came out as a harmless question, seemed like a threat to Yu Fa, and that made him uncomfortable on his seat. "N-no, Divine-Emperor, it's quite a fine decision..." he hesitated to speak for a moment, "I'm sure you know what's best."

Xu Xiaotang chuckled.

"Let me test this fake cultivator, and see what he can do..."

From where he was seated, he extended his right hand, and his Divine cultivation base erupted with heaven-shaking, earth-erasing power. Everything began to shake violently as an enormous vortex sprang up around him. While the other Divinities around him seemed to be calm and unaffected, this aura could possibly kill a Spirit Ascension cultivator with ease!

Xu Xiaotang channeled Divine Qi from the celestial heavens, and drew upon the boundless energy of the Nine Divine Heavens to empower his palm. He focused his inner Qi into his palm, causing space to warp and converge around it, creating a gravitational singularity capable of collapsing entire dimensions!

Yu Fa looked very shocked, he then said, "Wait, you're using that?! It'll..."

"It'll what?" Divine-Emperor asked plainly.

"It'll destroy the entire Dao Layer! Not just the Azure Tree, it'll destroy every Tao Dimension!"

"And?"

When Divine-Emperor said this, Yu Fa was left stunned. If the man could say such a thing, then there was no use trying to convince him, clearly, he didn't have the sort of sympathy or care that most in the Heavenly Court Sect should have.

This attack Xu Xiaotang was about to use, was a trademark technique of the Heavenly Court Sect and a few other non-affiliated 4th-Path Cultivators.

It was called the Divine Palm of Omniversal Annihilation.

It was the pinnacle technique wielded by 4th Path Cultivators, harnessing the immense power of Divine Qi to crush entire dao layers with but a single palm strike!

When Xu Xiaotang's eyes closed, he said, "Time for some much deserved fun..."

A huge, divine palm manifested. Its size was infinitely large. If its size were to be compared to the Shengjing Grove which was the dao layer that sheltered the Azure Tree, it would be like comparing an ocean to glass of water—ridculous. The palm caused everything to crumble violently, as just its presence shook other dao layers.

The heavenly flames that raged out of the palm was beyond a common sense of power, it was one that even a 3rd-Path cultivator wouldn't be able to fathom!

At this point, every Immortal Realm cultivator would surely have sensed this, and as there were only about 15 Immortal Realm cultivators in the entire Shengjing Grove, they all felt a sense of death that even their own cultivation base wouldn't protect them against.

"I simply want to have my fun with the Azure Tree, not the other tao dimensions."

Squeezing his hands into a fist, he contracted the size of his heavenly palm into a smaller version with more concentrated power, and yet with just enough of his cultivation base that it wouldn't cause a ripple effect which could extinguish the other tao dimensions.

There was no one in any part of the world that didn't hear when Xu Xiaotang's voice spoke.

"Azure Tree, you have committed the offense of existing... and now, you shall pay the ultimate price!"

His voice rang out with so much power that he didn't sound like a child, rather, he had the voice of a terrifying God who was about to deliver unfathomable divine judgement!

His reason for judgement was completely stupid and made no sense, but that was simply how it was. Divine Realm cultivators didn't need a reason to do whatever they wanted—they were above every dao layer in existence, and because of that, it meant that they were also free to do whatever they wanted. To them, every Immortal Realm cultivator and less, were simply the petals of a flower.

And in Xu Xiaotang's case...

One would not fault a child if they wanted to pluck away petals in order to taste a flower's nectar.

But in truth, Xu Xiaotang had a something else in mind when he did this—and it wasn't to have fun with Yang Wei in any sense, even if he made it seem that way. He had no interest in the white-haired mage... after all, the child believed it didn't matter how unique a person was; as long as they didn't match his power, then they were undeserving of his attention.

The real reason he was doing this, was for Emperor Cloudcrest.

I'll simply wipe out the Azure Tree but make sure to salvage the woman he's after. Still, there are a few other people in this tao dimension who possess that Celestial Soul Heart he's after, so why choose her specifically...?

Ha! As if that's any of my business... the moment I destroy this place, I'll gain even more resources from the Eternal Lands to push my rank above Divine-Emperor and climb to a higher Heaven!

The palm continued its descent.

...

Meanwhile,

There were already several cultivators running around in panic, they were scared. Not just them, every major and minor world in the Azure Tree panicked.

"We're all gonna die!"

"It's over for all of us!"

"The Heavens have finally chosen to remove us from this world! Whyyy?!"

No one could see light anymore, it was only darkness—a sort of eclipse that marked the beginning of the end.

Yang Wei on the other hand seemed calm.

It seems my days just keep getting better and better. Maybe when I'm done massaging Chen Yuxi and getting some information out of her, I'll go see if I can have fun with Yurong too... then, when I finally master the Dao of Spirit-forging Alchemy, I'll get a taste of Qian...

He whistled very cheerfully.

With a towel over his neck and a wooden bucket filled with oils, creams and herbs used for a sensual massage he walked back to the room where Chen Yuxi was supposed to be at. However, when he opened it, he saw no one there—she'd already ran out to see what was causing this dimensional earthquake.

"Hm?" Yang Wei tilted his head, confused.

He warped back to his normal appearance and then sighed as he dropped the bucket. Placing his hand on his waist he said, "Where did that woman go...?"

It was around this time an apparition appeared.

"YANG WEI!"

Yang Wei turned to look at the apparition, and it turned out to be Li Meixiu. "Meixiu?" he said. "What are you doing here?"
