Chapter 152: Slaying Foundation Establishment, Annihilating Immortal Sect, World Shaken!
“Ah…”
One cry of agony after another.
Ji Qing’s Saber Intent covered the entire Green Wood Immortal Sect.
Major Accomplishment Saber Intent was actually already half-substantialized, truly possessing terrifying might.
If one’s spirit will was not strong, the Saber Intent could directly annihilate consciousness.
This was the terrifying group attack method of martial artists.
With one strike of Ji Qing’s Saber Intent, some low-tier disciples of the entire Green Wood Immortal Sect instantly had their consciousness annihilated, collapsing to the ground and turning into cold corpses.
Even cultivators with strong spirit will seemed to feel as if their mind and spirit had suffered heavy damage.
Only some late Qi Cultivation cultivators or those with rare treasures could barely withstand it.
This scene made Old Ancestor Yun Mu furious beyond measure.
He pointed with an empty hand, and a large tree suddenly flew out from within his body.
This large tree grew against the wind.
In the blink of an eye, it blotted out the sky and covered the earth, spanning across the void and emanating a terrifying aura.
“It’s Green Wood, the sect-guarding treasure of our Green Wood Immortal Sect!”
“It’s said that Green Wood is a divine tree, obtained by the founding ancestor of our Green Wood Immortal Sect, and it took decades to refine it into a Magic Tool that shelters our Green Wood Immortal Sect.”
“Only Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators can wield Green Wood, which has always been nourished within the body by Foundation Establishment Old Ancestors. Even sealed for a millennium without full might, it is still extremely fearsome, and ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators are no match!”
Seeing that towering tree in the void, the remaining cultivators of Green Wood Immortal Sect were all excited.
“What a Magic Tool!”
A strange voice came from the void.
Everyone looked toward the voice.
They discovered the other party standing in the void.
Black clothes, Conical Hat, Long Saber.
An outfit as ordinary as could be.
Yet this ordinary person stood in the void, emanating an aura completely different from Immortal Dao Cultivators.
Especially that terrifying Saber Intent just now.
It was unleashed by this person, instantly killing over a hundred low-tier disciples of Green Wood Immortal Sect.
Simply ruthless and vicious like a demon.
“He… he is ‘Heavenly Saber’ Ji Qing, who once slew Daoist Mu Yi!”
“What? ‘Heavenly Saber’ Ji Qing dares to invade our Green Wood Immortal Sect?”
“Truly arrogant! A mere martial artist, even a Grandmaster among martial artists, how dare he come to our Green Wood Immortal Sect to kill?”
“No, earlier this person broke the Mountain Protecting Formation, a feat only achievable by Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators.”
“It’s said that today is the day ‘Heavenly Saber’ Ji Qing Opens Heavenly Gate and forges Dao Foundation. Could he have already Opened Heavenly Gate and forged Dao Foundation?”
“A Dao Foundation Expert…”
The cultivators of Green Wood Immortal Sect also reacted.
How could an ordinary martial artist have such audacity?
Moreover, the Green Wood Immortal Sect’s Mountain Protecting Formation was no mere decoration.
Without Foundation Establishment strength, it was absolutely impossible to break the Mountain Protecting Formation.
And now, the Mountain Protecting Formation was broken.
There was only one possibility.
Ji Qing had forged Dao Foundation.
He was already a Dao Foundation Expert!
Although Immortal Dao Cultivators looked down on martial artists.
Once a martial artist forged Dao Foundation.
Even Immortal Dao Cultivators had to address them as “Dao Foundation Expert.”
In fact, Immortal Dao Cultivators regarded “Dao Foundation” experts as peers and treated them equally.
Even Old Ancestor Yun Mu calmed down upon seeing Ji Qing.
He stared coldly at Ji Qing and said in a deep voice: “Are you ‘Heavenly Saber’ Ji Qing?”
“Indeed.”
“Such audacity! You killed elders and disciples of my Green Wood Immortal Sect, yet you still dare to wreak havoc at our sect gate?”
Ji Qing stared at Old Ancestor Yun Mu and said flatly: “Ji Mou has come here for one purpose only: to extinguish the Orthodox Lineage of Green Wood Immortal Sect!”
“Boom.”
At these words, the numerous cultivators of Green Wood Immortal Sect were furious beyond measure.
They were high and mighty Immortal Dao Cultivators.
Even if Ji Qing was a Dao Foundation Expert, he could not so lightly insult Green Wood Immortal Sect.
On the contrary, Old Ancestor Yun Mu completely calmed down.
He looked at Ji Qing with shock and suspicion, already having a guess in his heart.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, since you have forged Dao Foundation, you are one of our peers. It was our Green Wood Immortal Sect that was presumptuous before. We will not pursue the death of Mu Yi. In the future, our Green Wood Immortal Sect and your sect will be neighboring friends, coexisting peacefully. How about it?”
There had just been heaven-shaking killing intent.
Now, having roughly guessed that Ji Qing had forged Dao Foundation, Old Ancestor Yun Mu immediately changed his attitude.
This somewhat surprised Ji Qing; these cultivators were indeed different from martial artists.
However, since he had come today, there was no room for compromise.
Green Wood Immortal Sect must be extinguished!
After all, Green Wood Immortal Sect was too close to Heavenly Martial Sacred Land.
Ji Qing understood the principle of not allowing others to snore beside one’s bed.
“Old Ancestor Yun Mu, if you can block one saber from Ji Mou, Ji Mou will turn and leave immediately, never troubling Green Wood Immortal Sect. How about it?”
“Just one saber?”
“Yes, just one saber!”
Old Ancestor Yun Mu pondered for a moment, then nodded: “Very well, then this old man will treat it as sparring one move with Fellow Daoist.”
Old Ancestor Yun Mu agreed.
A faint smile appeared on Ji Qing’s face.
He was different from other martial artists.
His one saber was his strongest strike.
If one saber could not kill Old Ancestor Yun Mu, Ji Qing would not have much power left to kill him.
Old Ancestor Yun Mu was also thinking that even if Ji Qing had forged Dao Foundation, it was just one saber. With the Magic Tool Green Wood in hand, which excelled at defense, how could he not block one saber from Ji Qing?
Although Dao Foundation Experts were indeed ferocious with extraordinary combat power.
But Old Ancestor Yun Mu also had absolute confidence.
Thus, both smiled.
At this moment, fifty figures flew up behind Ji Qing.
All of them were Innate Grandmasters.
This made many Green Wood Immortal Sect cultivators’ hearts skip a beat.
Fortunately, their own old ancestor had made the “one saber” agreement with Ji Qing.
Otherwise, if a real fight broke out, with fifty Innate Grandmasters charging fearlessly, plus Ji Qing this Dao Foundation Expert, Green Wood Immortal Sect might not be able to hold.
“Mister Ji, we fifty all obey Mister Ji’s command!”
Elder Crane caught up to Ji Qing and spoke.
The other fifty Grandmasters also nodded.
Since they had followed, they more or less had some mental preparation.
Seeing the fifty Innate Grandmasters, Old Ancestor Yun Mu’s expression changed slightly: “Fellow Daoist Ji, we agreed one saber decides victory…”
“No matter, Ji Mou said one saber, so it’s one saber! Elder Crane, you all wait here for now.”
Old Ancestor Yun Mu feared Ji Qing might change his mind.
Elder Crane nodded.
He had great faith in Ji Qing.
Thus, both sides retreated some distance.
Ji Qing and Old Ancestor Yun Mu stood in the void.
To decide victory with one saber!
Ji Qing’s hand slowly gripped the hilt of the Demon Saber.
“Boom.”
Terrifying Saber Intent Burst.
Above Ji Qing’s head, a vast heaven and earth seemed to appear.
The aura on Ji Qing’s body continued to climb.
Old Ancestor Yun Mu dared not be negligent.
He was all too clear on the strength of “Dao Foundation” experts.
In the millennium past, which Foundation Establishment Cultivator dared to underestimate Dao Foundation Experts?
Above Old Ancestor Yun Mu’s head appeared a towering tree, emanating green light that blanketed the sky, dyeing half the heavens green.
“Clang.”
Ji Qing Drew Sword.
The liquid True Qi in his body instantly diminished by a third.
At the same time, Ji Qing’s figure flashed, already closing in on Old Ancestor Yun Mu, the distance now merely a few zhang.
Old Ancestor Yun Mu wanted to retreat.
But he could not.
Ji Qing’s speed was too fast.
Moreover, the Saber Intent locked onto Old Ancestor Yun Mu, giving him an extreme sense of danger.
He could only meet it head-on.
Frantically layering Magic, and urging the divine tree to protect his body.
With his Foundation Establishment Magic Power urging Magic and the divine tree, the might far surpassed those Qi Refining Cultivators.
“Boom.”
Ji Qing’s saber tore through the void.
But this time it was not just Blade Light, but accompanied by fearsome Saber Qi.
Saber Qi spanned ten zhang!
And the Saber Qi blanketed the sky, seeming able to cleave through all!
Elder Crane and the others all widened their eyes.
They felt their blood surging.
Saber Qi!
Real Saber Qi!
Previous Blade Lights, no matter how dazzling, were illusory.
But Saber Qi was different.
Every strand of Saber Qi possessed terrifying power.
Wherever the Saber Qi passed, it was utterly unstoppable.
No power could resist it.
Let alone Ji Qing unleashing ten zhang of Saber Qi at once.
Simply horrifying!
“Ancient records in my Ling Xiao Pavilion ancestors mention that ordinary Dao Foundation forgers have their Innate True Qi transform into liquid state, enabling Attack from a Distance with greatly increased might. But things like Saber Qi or sword qi can usually only extend three to five chi. For Mister Ji to unleash ten zhang Saber Qi? Unheard Of…”
Elder Crane’s heart stirred stormy seas.
The other Grandmasters did not know the inside story.
They did not know how terrifying “ten zhang Saber Qi” was.
Thinking that all Dao Foundation Experts could unleash such attacks.
But in reality?
Most Dao Foundation Experts could barely manage a few chi to one zhang of Saber Qi.
Ten zhang?
Unthinkable.
Especially this ten zhang Saber Qi containing Saber Intent, amplified by Saber Intent, condensed without dispersing, only fully Bursting upon hitting Old Ancestor Yun Mu.
Old Ancestor Yun Mu was under great pressure now.
He felt he could block Ji Qing’s one saber.
But after Ji Qing Drew Sword and unleashed ten zhang Saber Qi, Old Ancestor Yun Mu regretted it.
Where was this a new Dao Foundation?
Calling him a powerhouse among Dao Foundation was not excessive.
Which new Dao Foundation could unleash ten zhang Saber Qi?
But no matter how shocked, it was too late.
Old Ancestor Yun Mu could only pray the divine tree could block this saber.
Finally, Ji Qing’s ten zhang Saber Qi landed on the divine tree.
“Rumble.”
The void trembled.
The clash of Saber Qi and divine tree was earth-shattering.
Old Ancestor Yun Mu’s divine tree was indeed formidable, but Ji Qing’s Saber Qi was not only indestructible but also contained lightning power.
Even more terrifying Cold Air Burst.
The divine tree only withstood for three breaths before it could hold no longer.
“Crack.”
A crisp sound.
Under everyone’s gaze, that massive divine tree was actually cleaved into two halves by the ten zhang Saber Qi.
At the same time, terrifying Cold Air erupted.
The massive divine tree rapidly covered with a thick layer of ice crystals.
And after the ten zhang Saber Qi split the divine tree, it landed on Old Ancestor Yun Mu.
Even with protective Magic, how could mere protective Magic block Ji Qing’s Saber Qi?
Moreover, there was the Saber Intent Burst.
The terrifying Saber Intent instantly “shook” Old Ancestor Yun Mu.
The majestic Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor had his spirit instantly suppressed.
Even one instant was enough.
Protective Magic shattered, and Ji Qing’s Saber Qi drove straight in without hindrance, erupting on Old Ancestor Yun Mu’s body.
“Bang.”
Something no one expected happened.
Wherever the Saber Qi passed, Old Ancestor Yun Mu did not even make a sound.
He was directly enveloped by the Saber Qi.
Then, Old Ancestor Yun Mu’s body “exploded.”
The ten zhang Saber Qi pulverized every inch of flesh and blood in Old Ancestor Yun Mu’s body.
“Pa.”
Ji Qing sheathed his saber.
He could feel that after the Demon Saber killed Old Ancestor Yun Mu, its Malevolent Energy instantly surged.
The Demon Saber seemed to faintly sense a “Transformation.”
However, Ji Qing could now easily suppress the Demon Saber.
And if the Demon Saber could Transform, that would be even better.
The Saber Qi in the void disappeared.
The terrifying Malevolent Energy, Cold Air, Lightning Power all vanished.
Only the divine tree, cleaved in two, remained. Though ice-sealed, it still emanated green light, with the ice crystals slowly melting.
Sufficient to prove this Magic Tool’s extraordinary nature.
However, all who saw this scene were dumbfounded.
Silence!
The surroundings were deathly silent!
The disciples and elders of Green Wood Immortal Sect seemed unable to believe the scene before them.
One saber!
Merely one saber, and Old Ancestor Yun Mu fell.
Ji Qing honored the rules.
He said one saber and absolutely did not draw a second.
But who could have thought Old Ancestor Yun Mu could not even withstand one saber from Ji Qing?
“Old Ancestor… dead?”
“Dao Foundation Expert, truly so strong? Even Old Ancestor could not block one saber?”
“With Old Ancestor dead, our Green Wood Immortal Sect is probably…”
The countless disciples and elders of Green Wood Immortal Sect exchanged glances.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh.”
Some disciples and elders turned and fled.
Unfortunately, Ji Qing had already seen through everything.
He did not even draw his saber.
Merely flicking his finger.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh.”
Strands of Innate Five Elements Destruction True Qi instantly flew out.
It was actually also Saber Qi.
Using finger as saber, the might was still extremely terrifying.
At least, below Foundation Establishment, basically none could block it.
“Ah…”
“Spare me…”
The Green Wood Immortal Sect cultivators who tried to flee were all directly shredded by Ji Qing’s Saber Qi.
Only those who stayed motionless were temporarily safe.
But seeing the fate of their fellow sect members, many Green Wood Immortal Sect cultivators felt their hearts tremble.
Ji Qing stood in the void and said calmly: “Old Ancestor Yun Mu is dead. Ji Mou takes over Green Wood Immortal Sect. Do any of you object?”
The Green Wood Immortal Sect cultivators exchanged glances.
“We dare not! We obey Senior’s judgment…”
The voice of the Green Wood Immortal Sect elder trembled.
He knew full well.
After today, Green Wood Immortal Sect… was probably gone!
At this moment, the elder sighed inwardly.
Green Wood Immortal Sect had barely survived the millennium spiritual energy drought catastrophe.
Now that Spiritual Energy Revival had finally come, and a great era of cultivation was imminent.
Yet Green Wood Immortal Sect was gone instead?
“Elder Crane, trouble you to bring people to take over Green Wood Immortal Sect.”
Ji Qing said indifferently.
The reason he did not slaughter widely was that Ji Qing had some ideas about these Immortal Dao Cultivators.
These Immortal Dao Cultivators were still useful.
In Ji Qing’s vision, Heavenly Martial Sacred Land would focus on Martial Way.
But it also needed cultivators.
After all, cultivators excelled in Formations, artifact forging, pill refining, etc., with irreplaceable advantages.
The great martial sects of the millennium past actually pursued Martial Way and Immortal Path in parallel.
With Martial Way as main and Immortal Path as auxiliary.
For example, martial artists cultivated slowly in early stages, so cultivators could refine Pills targeting martial artists’ flesh, vitality, Internal Energy, etc.
With Pills’ aid, martial artists’ strength improvement would advance by leaps and bounds.
For example, with cultivators in Heavenly Martial Sacred Land, they could set up Mountain Protecting Formation.
Then, even if Ji Qing was absent, ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators could not break the Mountain Protecting Formation.
There was also artifact forging.
In fact, many Divine Weapons were forged by cultivators.
Including the Demon Saber in Ji Qing’s hand, which was also from a cultivator.
Cultivators had many uses.
As long as they obeyed obediently, Heavenly Martial Sacred Land would have a place for these cultivators.
Elder Crane and the fifty Innate Grandmasters were all extremely excited.
This was an Immortal Sect!
Who could have thought that one day they would take over an Immortal Sect?
Before, they could only pep themselves up, thinking Martial Way no weaker than Immortal Path.
But now, they were certain.
Martial Way truly no weaker than Immortal Path!
Dao Foundation Expert, so terrifying?
Ji Qing reached out in the void toward the divine tree.
Instantly, the divine tree was grabbed into Ji Qing’s hand.
Ji Qing shook his True Qi, and the ice crystals instantly shattered.
Revealing the two halves of the divine tree.
Though this divine tree was cleaved into two by Ji Qing’s saber, it did not wither or get destroyed.
Instead, it remained full of Vitality.
Green lights intertwined, and in moments, the divine tree recovered as before.
“Oh? This recovery ability is quite good…”
Ji Qing could sense the divine tree’s abundant Vitality.
Ji Qing was very interested in the divine tree’s such dense “Vitality.”
He immediately summoned a Qi Cultivation Peak cultivator from Green Wood Immortal Sect.
“Can only cultivators use this divine tree of your Green Wood Immortal Sect? Is there any way for martial artists to use it too?”
“Martial artists use it too?”
The Qi Cultivation Peak cultivator’s expression flickered.
Finally, he gritted his teeth: “If martial artists are to use it, it must be reforged.”
“Who can reforge it?”
“At least a Foundation Establishment artifact forging Master.”
“Foundation Establishment…”
Ji Qing pondered.
Foundation Establishment artifact forging Masters were extremely rare even in Immortal Sects.
Each was a sect’s Foundation.
They certainly would not reforge the divine tree for Ji Qing.
However, a figure appeared in Ji Qing’s mind.
Yunmeng Goddess!
This Yunmeng Goddess was extremely ancient with mysterious origins. Though of Divine Path, she knew much of cultivation, and Divine Power was not much different from Magic Power.
Yunmeng Goddess seemed able to forge artifacts too.
He could have Yunmeng Goddess try then.
Ji Qing oversaw Green Wood Immortal Sect, watching Elder Crane and others gradually take over.
The remaining Green Wood Immortal Sect cultivators were all very obedient.
Daring no other thoughts.
After all, cultivators with other thoughts had been killed by Ji Qing.
The remaining could only choose submission.
Heavenly Martial Sacred Land, just established, extinguished an Immortal Sect. Whether Grandmasters or ordinary martial artists, all felt immensely exhilarated in their hearts.
Sense of belonging to Heavenly Martial Sacred Land instantly soared countless times.
……
Yongchang Year 17, fourth month, initial six, Ji Qing Opens Heavenly Gate and forges Dao Foundation!
Moreover, single-handedly invades Immortal Sect, agrees with Green Wood Immortal Sect Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator Old Ancestor Yun Mu: one saber decides victory!
After one saber, Old Ancestor Yun Mu falls!
All cultivators of Green Wood Immortal Sect submit to Ji Qing, entire sect merges into Heavenly Martial Sacred Land!
Thus, Green Wood Immortal Sect is removed from the Immortal Sects!
News spreads, Jianghu Vibration! Immortal Sects Vibration! The world Vibration!
