Chapter 207: Slaying Refining Void, Aiming To Unify The Desolate Realm! Ji Qing Returns To The Immeasurable Domain, Astonishing Swan Saber Reappears!
Refining Void corresponds to the Dharma Aspect Realm!
Above the Divine Ability Realm is Dharma Aspect!
Spirit Transformation, Void Glimpse, Refining Void.
Martial God, Divine Ability, Dharma Aspect.
Above these three realms are the universally recognized “Great Experts” in the Black Ruins.
Fei Long is only one step away from being a “Great Expert”!
But this step is like a chasm.
If he crosses it, he can roam freely in the vastness of Heaven and Earth!
If he cannot cross it, his life will be precarious, and he will never have a say in the Black Ruins.
Great Experts are the benchmark in the Black Ruins.
Any force that wishes to exist long-term and prosper must have Great Experts.
Forces without Great Experts are like piles of sand, which can collapse at any moment.
Fei Long has been a calamity cultivator for many years.
He has been wandering in the Black Ruins, constantly on the verge of life and death.
But if he had become a Great Expert, why would he need to be a calamity cultivator?
He would be welcomed as an honored guest anywhere he went.
Therefore, Fei Long’s desire to become a Great Expert surpassed everything!
And the “Immortal Mansion” before him was the crucial step Fei Long believed would lead him to become a Great Expert.
No matter what, he had to obtain the Immortal Mansion.
No one could stop him!
Not even Ji Qing, a Core Disciple of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
Anyone who dared to stop him would die!
“Your Highness, this person’s strength is immense; I am no match for him…”
Can Xiu Venerable made his move.
He directly unleashed a Divine Ability.
Can Xiu Venerable’s Divine Ability was a Fire Attribute Superior Supernatural, which was already quite good.
Terrifying flames blotted out the sky and sun.
Unfortunately, facing Fei Long, his Superior Supernatural was completely suppressed.
After all, in terms of cultivation realm, Can Xiu Venerable was already suppressed.
Ji Qing stared at the giant hand in the void.
It seemed as if the flames of Can Xiu Venerable’s Divine Ability could not harm that colossal hand in the slightest.
Ji Qing saw it very clearly.
That hand had integrated into space.
Ordinary methods and Divine Abilities were simply useless against it.
This is Refining Void!
The mastery of the Power of Space has reached an astonishing level.
To deal with a Refining Void cultivator, there is only one method.
Either suppress the opponent with even greater mastery of Space Rule, or break through with brute force!
Directly shake the void with immense power.
If the void itself can be shaken, any spatial technique can be directly shattered.
Unfortunately, Can Xiu Venerable could not do that.
Thus, Ji Qing made his move.
Above his head, a colossal Dao Fruit suddenly materialized.
Within it, it seemed as if a “True Dragon” was roaring.
Ji Qing unleashed a punch.
“Boom.”
This punch was empowered by the True Dragon Dao Fruit.
At the Martial God Realm, although a Divine Path Fruit had been nurtured, if the Dao Fruit had not yet transformed into a Divine Ability, it naturally could not be used to unleash a Divine Ability.
However, even if a Divine Ability could not be unleashed, the empowerment from the Dao Fruit still made a difference.
For example, Ji Qing’s current punch was empowered by the True Dragon Dao Fruit.
His strength instantly surged, far surpassing the power of Can Xiu Venerable’s Divine Ability, even breaking through the upper limit of the Divine Ability Realm.
“Crack.”
The surrounding void shattered.
That hand that blotted out the sky and sun also shattered.
“What?”
Fei Long’s heart trembled, as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
What had he seen?
A Martial God had shattered the hand he condensed using the Power of Space with a single punch; how was this possible?
With this palm strike alone, even a Divine Ability Realm cultivator would be instantly killed.
Yet Ji Qing, with pure strength, had collapsed space and shattered his hand.
This kind of pure and immense strength was something Fei Long had almost never heard of.
Even the Strange Beasts in the Black Ruins did not possess such outrageous strength.
Is this still a Martial God?
“No, I am in the Refining Void Realm! What does it matter how strong a mere Martial God is?”
“Void Storm!”
The next moment, Fei Long Venerable utilized the power of his Primordial Spirit.
Instantly, a colossal face appeared in the void.
Fei Long’s Primordial Spirit seemed to have merged with the void.
Then, he pushed forward with both hands.
“Boom.”
The void shattered.
However, the shattered void did not behave like a mirror; instead, it stirred up waves of terrifying storms.
By using the Primordial Spirit of a Refining Void cultivator to leverage “Space Rule,” various terrifying spatial disasters could be triggered.
One of these was the Void Storm!
What Fei Long was conjuring now was a Void Storm.
Space collapsed over a large area, sweeping towards him like a storm.
Wherever it passed, all space-based matter and power would be torn apart by the Void Storm, turning into dust.
This is Refining Void!
Especially for top-tier Refining Void cultivators, if they disregarded the cost and desperately unleashed a Void Storm, they could even annihilate all life within an Inner World.
All they needed to do was continuously conjure Void Storms.
This was something Void Comprehension Realm cultivators could never achieve.
Seeing Fei Long unleash a Void Storm, everyone’s expression changed.
This was utterly mad.
Once the Void Storm swept through, unless one could withstand it, everything would be torn apart.
Perhaps only the Immortal Mansion, Ji Qing, and a few others could resist it.
But Heavenly Desolation City would definitely not be able to be protected.
Ji Qing’s gaze turned cold as he witnessed Fei Long’s frenzy.
“Hum.”
The next moment, four Dao Fruits suddenly appeared above Ji Qing’s head.
And all of them emitted a golden radiance.
The four Dao Marks on the Dao Fruits also appeared.
“This is…”
Fei Long’s eyes widened.
At first, he hadn’t paid much attention.
But now, seeing that Ji Qing had nurtured four Dao Fruits.
This was truly unheard of.
Crucially, there were four Dao Marks on each of the four Dao Fruits.
Fei Long had roamed the Black Ruins for so many years and had encountered many Top Heavenly Talents.
He naturally knew what four Dao Marks represented.
Those were… Legendary Dao Fruits!
However, who could nurture four Legendary Dao Fruits?
Could he be hallucinating?
If it were true…
Fei Long’s heart sank.
With four Legendary Dao Fruits, Ji Qing’s status within the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory was unimaginable; if he truly killed Ji Qing…
He would likely be hunted by the Great Experts of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory and the entire Black Ruins.
He would have absolutely no chance of survival, no matter where he went.
“No, I cannot kill him for now… I can only capture him alive!”
Fei Long was now in a precarious situation.
He finally understood that the three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators had been right.
The Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory were not to be trifled with!
Not only Fei Long was dumbfounded, but Jiao Ling, Gui Ling, and Xie Ling within the Immortal Mansion were also stunned.
Others didn’t know much about Martial Gods.
After all, there weren’t many Martial Gods in the Desolate Realm.
But Jiao Ling had once followed the Master of the Immortal Mansion and was very knowledgeable.
They naturally knew what four Dao Fruits meant.
They also knew what it meant for four Dao Marks to appear on four Dao Fruits.
“Legendary Dao Fruits, and four of them… What has Fellow Daoist Ji been doing during his fifteen years in the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory?”
Jiao Ling murmured softly.
It could no longer imagine.
This had already surpassed its understanding.
Jiao Ling’s understanding of Ji Qing was still based on his time in the Desolate Realm.
Although Ji Qing had displayed extremely high talent in the Desolate Realm, even passing the Martial Dao Seal.
But the level of talent displayed at that time was, at best, that of an ordinary Core Disciple of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
And now?
Let alone the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
In the vast Black Ruins, throughout history, which Martial God had ever nurtured four Legendary Dao Fruits?
Nurturing even one Legendary Dao Fruit was enough to dominate an era.
With four Legendary Dao Fruits, how high would Ji Qing’s future achievements be?
No, there’s no need to talk about the future; even now, Ji Qing’s strength was likely terrifying.
Four Legendary Dao Fruits were not just for show.
Once empowered by four Legendary Dao Fruits…
Inside the Immortal Mansion, everyone held their breath.
Their gazes fell upon Ji Qing in the void.
And with the empowerment of the four Dao Fruits, Ji Qing’s strength continued to surge.
Ever since nurturing the four Legendary Dao Fruits, Ji Qing himself did not know how strong his power had become.
“Boom.”
Ji Qing also unleashed a punch.
Confronting the Void Storm with pure strength.
Would it work?
They were not forces of the same level at all.
But the reality was… it worked!
Ji Qing’s punch was not only powered by the four Dao Fruits but also by the Power of Return to Ruin.
And the Decomposition effect of the Power of Return to Ruin could even decompose space.
Therefore, as Ji Qing’s punch struck out, the terrifying Void Storm seemed to instantly “freeze.”
In that instant, everything “froze.”
What a magnificent sight this was!
The Void Storm was also a manifestation of Space Rule.
Yet Ji Qing’s punch had shattered even Space Rule.
“Bang”
Fei Long’s body instantly exploded.
The Primordial Spirit within was in a panic, wanting to flee, but it was swept up by Ji Qing’s Power of Return to Void and instantly erased.
Such a powerful Refining Void Realm cultivator couldn’t even block one punch from Ji Qing and was directly blown up and killed.
With Fei Long’s death, the terrifying Void Storm naturally disappeared.
A world’s ability to recover is very strong.
The scene that had just blotted out the sky and sun, like the end of days, no longer existed.
Everything returned to its original state.
However, many people in Heavenly Desolation City had witnessed the scene in the void with their own eyes.
They were all speechless.
Refining Void!
That was a realm they could never reach.
Yet he died at Ji Qing’s hands.
“Good, well done, Fellow Daoist Ji! Hahaha, I knew it, once he went to the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, he would soar! With the body of a Martial God, he annihilated a top-tier Refining Void expert, just one step away from becoming a Great Expert! Such a Heavenly Talent… is enough to suppress an entire generation in the Black Ruins!”
Jiao Ling’s expression was also filled with fervor.
It had never even heard of such a terrifying genius, let alone seen one.
Ordinary geniuses, after transitioning from their Inner World to the Black Ruins, would gradually blend in with the crowd.
Even if they didn’t blend in, it would still be difficult to stand out.
After all, in the vast Black Ruins, what kind of geniuses were there not?
But Ji Qing, upon entering the Black Ruins, was like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, or a dragon entering the sea; instead, he became even more dazzling, radiating brilliance!
Perhaps, the only one not shocked was Canopus.
He knew very well how terrifying his “Your Highness” was.
Before this, he could already create two layers of the Purgatory Battlefield.
As for now, with the blessing of four Legendary Dao Fruits.
His strength was inconceivable.
Even if Ji Qing were to kill a Great Expert now, Canopus probably wouldn’t be too surprised.
What great feat was killing a mere Refining Void expert?
It could only be said that Canopus had long been “numb from shock” by Ji Qing’s past performances.
He was already accustomed to it.
Ji Qing silently savored his own strength.
With the blessing of the four Dao Fruits just now, his power seemed to have broken through to an inconceivable level.
A Refining Void expert truly posed no threat to him.
Below the Great Expert realm, there probably wasn’t much of a threat either.
As for Great Experts.
Ji Qing dared not say he could defeat a Great Expert yet.
But if he truly encountered a Great Expert, he would only know after fighting.
After all, Ji Qing only had the power of the four Dao Fruits added; he still had the power of his Grotto-Heaven Small Realm to add.
Therefore, Ji Qing was far from going all out.
However, Great Experts were indeed a dividing line in the Black Ruins.
Although not as exaggerated as “everyone below a Great Expert is like an ant.”
But the difference between a Great Expert and those below them was indeed worlds apart.
“Whoosh.”
In the Immortal Mansion, many people flew out.
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
He saw many acquaintances.
Jiao Ling, Crab Spirit, Turtle Spirit, as well as Black Water Daoist, True Lord Tiansheng, Zhao Xiaozhu, and so on.
Finally, his gaze settled on a familiar figure.
“Fellow Daoist Baoyue, congratulations on achieving Spirit Transformation!”
Although fifteen years had passed, the reunion of old acquaintances felt as if it were yesterday, and they didn’t feel particularly estranged.
Shen Jun Bao Yue also smiled slightly, “Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Ji as well, for achieving Martial God!”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
No matter how high Ji Qing’s cultivation was, he was still the same Ji Qing as before.
Moreover, theoretically, Spirit Transformation and Martial God were essentially the same realm.
Ji Qing had not widened the gap with Shen Jun Bao Yue in terms of realm.
“This one is…”
Shen Jun Bao Yue looked at Can Xiu Venerable behind Ji Qing and asked.
Can Xiu quickly bowed and replied, “Divine Lord, I am His Highness’s attendant. You can call me ‘Canopus’.”
“Attendant?”
Everyone was very surprised.
Shen Jun Bao Yue also knew that the other party was a Divine Ability Realm cultivator, far surpassing Martial Gods.
Stronger than ordinary Void Comprehension Realm cultivators.
And yet, he was merely Ji Qing’s attendant?
Ji Qing also said with a smile, “Back then, during the Martial Dao Seal, there were three ‘Observers.’ Can Xiu Venerable was one of them. The other two remained in the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory to guard the Grotto-heaven.”
“So that’s how it is…”
Everyone suddenly understood.
In that case, Canopus was indeed an “acquaintance” of theirs.
After all, Canopus had been in the Desolate Realm guarding the Martial Dao Seal for so many years, and he was well aware of many matters in the Desolate Realm.
“Shall we go see how Wind Thunder Sect is doing?”
Ji Qing immediately returned to Wind Thunder Sect.
True Lord Tiansheng proudly introduced, “Our Wind Thunder Sect is extraordinary now, possessing two Grotto-heavens.”
“Two Grotto-heavens? Besides Tianqing Grotto-Heaven, which other one is it?”
Ji Qing remembered that Wind Thunder Sect only had one Grotto-heaven.
“It’s the Grotto-heaven that Haoxian Sect originally took from Heavenly Desolation Sect. Haoxian Sect has returned it, along with considerable compensation.”
“So, it’s not Wind Thunder Sect anymore, but three sects have merged into one, becoming Heavenly Desolation Sect!”
True Lord Tiansheng explained.
Ji Qing then realized that Heavenly Desolation City had indeed undergone considerable changes.
Three Deity Transformation Sects had merged into one, becoming Heavenly Desolation Sect.
After all, the three Deity Transformation Orthodox Lineages had originally split from Heavenly Desolation Sect.
The Deity Transformation Divine Lord of Wind Thunder Sect in the past had dreamed of the three sects merging into one and Heavenly Desolation Sect reappearing.
Under Shen Jun Bao Yue, Heavenly Desolation Sect had truly reappeared!
Of course, the greatest merit actually belonged to Ji Qing.
If Ji Qing had not broken through the Martial Dao Seal, why would Haoxian Sect have voluntarily returned the Grotto-heaven?
Without the Grotto-heaven, the three sects could not have merged into one.
This also fulfilled the wish of the Deity Transformation Divine Lord of Wind Thunder Sect back then.
For the first time in a while, Ji Qing was not cultivating.
He met with his old acquaintances from the past and learned about their situations.
Such as Zhao Xiaozhu, Black Water Daoist, True Lord Tiansheng, and so on.
Especially True Lord Tiansheng, who had been “eagerly awaiting” Ji Qing for a long time.
Ji Qing also saw through True Lord Tiansheng’s cultivation with a single glance.
“Fellow Daoist Tiansheng, you are now at Nascent Soul Perfection, but condensing a Primordial Spirit is not an easy feat.”
Ji Qing said.
“Yes, how difficult is it to condense a Primordial Spirit? My talent is limited; reaching Nascent Soul is already my limit. As for the Primordial Spirit, it depends on luck…”
Although he said it depended on luck, he looked at Ji Qing with eager eyes.
Clearly, True Lord Tiansheng wanted Ji Qing to “help” him.
Otherwise, after all these years of his “unwavering loyalty” to Ji Qing, wouldn’t he get no benefit at all?
Ji Qing naturally understood this.
Ever since True Lord Tiansheng followed him, he had not only gone undercover in Zhou Tian Sect but had also served him with all his heart, truly being his top “lackey.”
This was a well-known fact.
“To condense a Primordial Spirit, it is difficult yet simple.”
Ji Qing flicked his finger.
A pill flew in front of True Lord Tiansheng.
“This is a Spirit Condensation Pill I brought back from the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory. One pill can help you condense a Primordial Spirit. With the help of this pill, condensing a Primordial Spirit should not be a problem.”
“What? Thank you, Fellow Daoist!”
True Lord Tiansheng was overjoyed.
He had waited for so many years, and finally, this day had arrived!
Spirit Condensation Pill!
But products from the Outer Domain must be extraordinary.
But items from the Outer Domain are bound to be extraordinary.
True Lord Tiansheng happily took the Spirit Condensation Pill and went into seclusion to condense his Primordial Spirit.
In fact, for the Black Ruins, Deity Transformation Divine Lords were not really a big deal.
While one Spirit Condensation Pill might be precious to others, it was insignificant to Ji Qing.
It was merely worth a small amount of Merit Points.
Ji Qing had his own considerations for bestowing a Spirit Condensation Pill upon True Lord Tiansheng.
He had very few useful people under him.
Especially in Heavenly Desolation Sect.
With only Shen Jun Bao Yue as a Spirit Transformation expert, how could that be enough?
Ji Qing had ambitions for the Desolate Realm.
It could no longer be a scattered mess.
However, matters in the Desolate Realm ranked second.
The first priority was Ji Qing’s cultivation.
“In fifteen years, a vast amount of Fortune has been accumulated. I can try to use ‘Use My Heart to Replace Heaven’s Heart’ to improve my Mind.”
Ji Qing immediately announced his seclusion.
Then, with practiced ease, he activated his Spiritual Imprint and merged it into the Barren Realm Origin.
“Boom.”
Ji Qing was “using his heart to replace heaven’s heart,” and within the Desolate Realm at that, the feeling was too familiar.
And there was another point.
As Ji Qing’s Mind improved, he seemed to be able to withstand the pressure of a world’s Rules a little.
Of course, he couldn’t withstand it for long, but it already indicated that Ji Qing’s Mind had improved.
Moreover, compared to the Purgatory Realm, the pressure in the Desolate Realm was indeed much less.
Ji Qing felt this very clearly.
As time passed,
Ji Qing didn’t know how long had passed.
When the Fortune was almost depleted, Ji Qing broke free from the feeling of “using his heart to replace heaven’s heart.”
His Consciousness returned to his Physical Body.
“This time, it took a while…”
Ji Qing was slightly taken aback.
For the Purgatory Realm, this time Ji Qing had been “immersed” in “using his heart to replace heaven’s heart” for a rather long time.
It lasted for several hours.
Ji Qing even had a feeling.
As his Mind grew stronger in the future.
Then the time he could “use his heart to replace heaven’s heart” would certainly become longer.
Then, would he be able to completely “replace” the world’s will and become the Sovereign of a realm?
Upon reflection, it didn’t seem impossible.
But the prerequisite was that his Mind had to be extremely strong.
Moreover, becoming the Sovereign of a realm wasn’t that easy.
At that time, he would not just be passively enduring the pressure of the world’s rules operating.
Ji Qing glanced at his current Mind.
“Mind: Immovable as a Mountain （ First Realm Tenth Order ）”
Ji Qing’s Mind had reached the Tenth Order of the First Realm.
Each realm of Mind had only ten orders.
This meant that Ji Qing’s Mind had now reached the limit of the First Realm.
Tenth Order of the Mind, meaning Ji Qing can now fully control the power of his physical body!
Ji Qing clenched his fist.
Without any improvement to his physical body, his combat power had increased again.
Ji Qing can now fully control the power of his physical body.
This greatly improved Ji Qing’s combat power.
However, the issue with his Mind is currently tricky.
From the Tenth Order of the First Realm, to go further, one must break through the bottleneck and advance to the Second Realm of the Mind.
This step is very difficult!
To break through the bottleneck of the Mind, Ji Qing must make more preparations.
“With the current Fortune of the Desolate Realm, it is not enough to support me in breaking through the bottleneck of the Mind!”
“Unless I obtain the Fortune of the entire Desolate Realm, become the Sovereign of the Desolate Realm, and become the legendary Son of Fortune! Perhaps then I can use the Desolate Realm to temper my Mind and finally break through the bottleneck.”
Many thoughts flashed through Ji Qing’s mind.
Ji Qing had this idea even before returning to the Desolate Realm.
Now, it seems that it is indeed so.
To gather the Fortune of a realm, one can only become the Sovereign of that realm.
In the Purgatory Realm, Ji Qing could not become the Sovereign of a realm.
But returning to the Desolate Realm, it is still possible.
Ji Qing immediately summoned Shen Jun Bao Yue and Feng Jin Martial Saint.
“I intend to unify the Desolate Realm with the Heavenly Desolation Sect. What are your thoughts on this matter?”
Ji Qing asked directly.
Immediately, their faces changed drastically.
“Unify the Desolate Realm?”
They exchanged glances.
Although shocked, upon closer thought, Ji Qing’s current strength could already crush Void Comprehension Realm cultivators.
In the vast Desolate Realm, who else could be his opponent?
If Ji Qing were determined, no one and no force in the entire Desolate Realm could stop him.
Was Ji Qing’s proposal to unify the Desolate Realm actually feasible?
The thought of Ji Qing unifying the Desolate Realm made them both restless.
Ji Qing summoned them precisely to discuss this.
What would be the best way to unify the Desolate Realm?
Shen Jun Bao Yue said, “With Fellow Daoist Ji’s current strength, it’s no problem to sweep through any sect, or even all sects in the Desolate Realm combined. But the difficulty lies in how to manage the vast Desolate Realm!”
“The entire Desolate Realm is too large; managing all cultivators under one sect is simply not realistic. I suggest establishing a Dao Court to manage all sects in the Desolate Realm under its name, and then have the sects manage the cultivators in various regions.”
“As long as one wishes to establish a sect, they must obtain permission from the Dao Court; otherwise, it will not be allowed. Anyone who dares to establish a sect without authorization can have their sect’s forces mobilized by the Dao Court to suppress them! In this way, the Dao Court only needs to maintain absolute deterrence from its top experts to rule the vast Desolate Realm, without having to laboriously manage the numerous cultivators.”
After hearing Shen Jun Bao Yue’s words, Ji Qing and Feng Jin Martial Saint’s eyes lit up.
“Indeed, this is a good method. The Dao Court controls the sects, and then the sects control the cultivators.”
Ji Qing nodded.
In this way, the Dao Court only needs to maintain strength that absolutely transcends all sects.
This is very simple.
Ji Qing alone would suffice!
Or Canopus would also work.
Canopus is a Venerable, and he is in the Divine Ability Realm, his strength is much greater than those in the same realm of the Void Comprehension Realm.
He is also enough to sweep across the Desolate Realm.
“The matter of the Dao Court will be handled by Shen Jun Bao Yue and Feng Jin Martial Saint. I will also leave behind Can Xiu Venerable to maintain deterrence, and there should be no major issues.”
“What about you, Fellow Daoist?”
Shen Jun Bao Yue asked.
“Me?”
Ji Qing gazed into the void and sighed, “I must return to my homeland for a while…”
“Homeland?”
The two were slightly stunned.
Isn’t the Barren Domain Ji Qing’s homeland?
They had never properly investigated Ji Qing.
They thought Ji Qing was a rogue cultivator from the Barren Domain, who later joined the Wind Thunder Sect.
“Like Black Water Daoist and others, I am a cultivator from the Immeasurable Domain. I crossed the Boundless Sea Region to reach the Barren Domain. After all these years, it’s time to go back and take a look…”
Ji Qing certainly had not forgotten the Immeasurable Domain.
“Immeasurable Domain… There are records in ancient texts, said to be on the other side of the sea, desolate and remote, not suitable for cultivation.”
Feng Jin Martial Saint mused.
He and Shen Jun Bao Yue had not expected that Ji Qing was actually from the Immeasurable Domain?
However, this was not a major issue.
“Alright, then Feng Jin Martial Saint and I will proceed with preparations for establishing the Dao Court. However, if we are truly establishing a Dao Court, the Lord of the Dao Court, you, must be present!”
Shen Jun Bao Yue said seriously.
“Okay, at most three to five months, I will definitely return.”
Ji Qing also set a timeframe.
Three to five months should be sufficient.
Thus, after the parties reached an agreement, Ji Qing did not linger and left the Desolate Realm directly.
Ji Qing arrived at the Boundless Sea Region.
He remembered that it had taken him ten years to cross the sea from the Immeasurable Domain.
As for now, Ji Qing certainly would not need ten years.
Even without using spatial translocation, Ji Qing could traverse the Boundless Sea Region in at most one to two months by flying directly.
Ji Qing did not use spatial translocation.
He simply flew the entire way.
There were many demons in the sea area, and Ji Qing also planned to take this opportunity to collect more Origin Points.
After all, he currently only had over forty million Origin Points.
It seemed like a lot, but once he advanced to the Divine Ability Realm, it would definitely not be enough.
Thus, Ji Qing flew through the Boundless Sea Region, and everywhere he passed, all demons perished, turning into a massive amount of Origin Points for Ji Qing.
As time passed, Ji Qing could vaguely sense the Immeasurable Domain.
That continent, his homeland!
The closer he got to his homeland, even Ji Qing, at this moment, could not calm his emotions.
Ji Qing thought of many people in his mind.
His sister Ji Yao, Shopkeeper Yu, One-eared, Lie Yingniang, the Goddess, and those he had sworn brotherhood with, and so on.
After all these years, he wondered how they were doing?
And Ye Chunsheng, who was sleeping underground.
The swordsman who didn’t fit into Jianghu back then.
He wondered if anyone had gone to pay respects?
In an instant, Ji Qing’s thoughts became chaotic.
Perhaps this was the feeling of nervousness before reaching home…
…
The sea breeze, mixed with a hint of salty moisture, blew across the faces of a group of men in black.
This group of men in black was led by a woman.
They all seemed to be Martial Artists.
And their attire was that of disciples from the foremost Martial Way Holy Land, the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land.
However, the situation for these Heavenly Martial Sacred Land disciples was not good.
Almost all of them were injured and fleeing in disarray.
Someone had been pursuing them from behind.
They had fled all the way to the seaside, with nowhere left to run.
Unless they jumped into the sea.
But everyone knew that the Boundless Sea Region was teeming with demons; once they jumped into the sea, they would become food for demons, with no chance of survival.
“Swish.”
Finally, a group of Qi Refining cultivators riding swords slowly flew over.
They did not seem to be in a hurry to catch up to the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land disciples.
Instead, they kept driving them towards the sea.
“Qin Shuang, why don’t you keep running.”
The leading woman was one of the most outstanding disciples of the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land, having achieved Innate at less than twenty years old.
This demonstrated her Martial Way talent.
Qin Shuang had originally led a group of Heavenly Martial Sacred Land disciples down the mountain for training.
As a result, they were pursued by a group of cultivators from the Dong Yang Demonic Sect.
The Dong Yang Demonic Sect, by its nature, acted with impunity.
The word “Demonic” in its name indicated its brutal methods.
However, the Dong Yang Demonic Sect was also a Golden Core Orthodox Lineage, and like the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land, it was a hegemonic sect.
While their relationship was not particularly good in the past, they had not had much interaction.
It was even less likely for them to chase them like this now.
There must be something strange about this!
“Yin Kui Sheng, do your Dong Yang Demonic Sect intend to start a Great War between our two sects?”
Qin Shuang reprimanded sternly.
The Heavenly Martial Sacred Land was a renowned Holy Land of the Martial Way worldwide.
It could be compared to Immortal Sects of the Golden Core lineage.
Even the Founding Patriarch of the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land, the former “Heavenly Saber” Ji Qing, had once suppressed the world with one man and one saber.
Making all Immortal Sects in the world bow their heads!
What glory was that?
But to this day, the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land no longer possessed its former glory.
Yet, the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land remained one of the overlords of the world.
Who would dare to underestimate it?
The idea of the Dong Yang Demonic Sect openly pursuing Heavenly Martial Sacred Land disciples was almost unimaginable.
Yin Kui Sheng sneered, “Qin Shuang, I don’t mind telling you, since you’re all about to die. The Supreme Elder of our Dong Yang Demonic Sect has condensed a Golden Core and has already annexed several minor Immortal Sects. Your Heavenly Martial Sacred Land, merely Martial Artists, and without even Heavenly Humans, yet you occupy the Two Provinces Land. Do you think the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land still needs to exist?”
“What, the Supreme Elder of the Dong Yang Demonic Sect has broken through to the Golden Core realm?”
Qin Shuang’s face changed drastically.
All the disciples of the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land felt their hearts sink.
The reason for the long-standing balance among the major Immortal Sects and Sacred Lands in the world was that no single power could dominate all others.
In Immortal Sects, there were Foundation Establishment cultivators.
In the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land, there were only Dao Foundations.
But the birth of a Golden Core in the Dong Yang Demonic Sect changed everything.
One Golden Core was enough to sweep across all the major Immortal Sects and the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land at present.
Clearly, the Dong Yang Demonic Sect harbored ambitions to occupy more territory, and the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land naturally became an obstacle.
“This news is too important; it must be conveyed to the sect…”
Many thoughts flashed through Qin Shuang’s mind.
“Heh heh, are you still thinking of sending a message to the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land? It’s useless. Our Dong Yang Demonic Sect’s Golden Core True Person will personally take action and destroy the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land!”
“Originally, your Heavenly Martial Sacred Land should not exist. How can mere Martial Artists be compared to us Immortal Dao Cultivators? It’s only because your Heavenly Martial Sacred Land produced a ‘Heavenly Saber’ Ji Qing in the past, otherwise, how could the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land compare to our Immortal Sects?”
“Qin Shuang, you are an Innate Martial Artist, tsk tsk. If I could refine you into a puppet, it would be a great pity… why don’t you surrender to me, and I can spare your life!”
In Yin Kui Sheng’s eyes, only Qin Shuang among these Heavenly Martial Sacred Land disciples was worth his attention.
As for the other disciples?
Since they weren’t even Innate, he naturally disdained them.
Qin Shuang’s heart sank to the bottom.
The Dong Yang Demonic Sect’s Golden Core True Person went to the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land?
Wouldn’t that put the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land in danger?
Qin Shuang had joined the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land from a young age and had grown up practically listening to the glorious tales of the sect.
Seeing the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land facing the peril of annihilation now, how could she not be anxious?
“Breakthrough!”
Qin Shuang shouted.
“Clang.”
Qin Shuang drew her sword.
She had greatly admired the reputation of the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land’s Founding Patriarch, “Ji Qing,” since childhood.
They also knew that the Patriarch had the reputation of “Astonishing Swan Saber”.
Later, when the Patriarch left, he also left behind the cultivation method for the Astonishing Swan Saber.
This Astonishing Swan Saber is actually not a very profound saber technique.
But it has one word: fast!
When speed reaches its extreme, it is invincible!
Many people in the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land tried to practice the Astonishing Swan Saber.
Unfortunately, there were no outstanding disciples.
Only Qin Shuang practiced the Astonishing Swan Saber to a certain level of mastery.
As a result, the blade light was magnificent, and many people were immersed in this blade light.
Rumor has it that “When the Astonishing Swan Saber appears, heads will fall.”
That was a legend belonging only to Ji Qing.
As for now.
“Bang.”
Spirit Armor appeared on Yin Kui Sheng’s body.
The blade light slashed at the Spirit Armor, stirring up ripples, but it could not break the armor’s defense.
“Is that all?”
“Qin Shuang, it seems your Heavenly Martial Sacred Land’s ‘Astonishing Swan Saber’ is not that great either. I heard it was passed down from the founding Patriarch? I don’t know how such an ordinary saber technique could have dominated the world back then?”
Yin Kui Sheng shook his head.
Besides being slightly faster, he really couldn’t see anything extraordinary about the Astonishing Swan Saber.
But what use is it, no matter how fast?
He can use magic tools to cover his entire body, and if the saber technique’s power is not strong enough, it cannot break his defense.
In the end, the limitations of a martial artist are too great.
Qin Shuang’s face turned pale.
She knew very well that it wasn’t that the Astonishing Swan Saber was not strong, but that she was not strong enough.
If she had the cultivation of the Patriarch, what would a mere Yin Kui Sheng be?
Unfortunately, she couldn’t kill Yin Kui Sheng.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh.”
Many cultivators from the Dong Yang Demonic Sect unleashed their Flying Swords.
Like “mowing grass,” they reaped the lives of many disciples from the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land.
These martial artists who were not even Innate.
Even First-Rank Martial Artists could not withstand the Flying Swords of the Dong Yang Demonic Sect cultivators.
Qin Shuang’s eyes turned red.
“Buzz.”
The Innate True Qi within her body surged wildly.
She was activating the Innate True Qi using a Secret Technique.
This Secret Technique could not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Once used, it would damage the Foundation.
It would be impossible to advance further in cultivation after this.
But at this point, Qin Shuang had already decided to fight to the death.
“Clang.”
Qin Shuang still drew her saber.
It was the Astonishing Swan Saber again!
However, this saber light seemed like the Milky Way pouring down from the nine heavens.
The speed had increased dramatically compared to before.
And the Might had also increased dramatically.
Yin Kui Sheng felt his heart pounding.
The sharp blade edge seemed to make him feel a sense of dread.
He desperately activated his Spirit Armor.
Finally, the blade light struck the Spirit Armor.
“Crack.”
The Spirit Armor shattered.
But the blade light of the Astonishing Swan Saber was also exhausted.
Yin Kui Sheng felt cold sweat all over his body.
So close!
He even felt like he was about to die.
“This is the real Astonishing Swan Saber?”
Yin Kui Sheng no longer dared to underestimate the Astonishing Swan Saber.
It was truly terrifying.
Just now, his consciousness had involuntarily immersed in that blade light.
If it had been any later, and he hadn’t fully activated his Spirit Armor, he would have died!
“Still a little short?”
Qin Shuang showed a tragic smile.
She knew very well that even if she died, her Corpse would be refined into a Puppet by Yin Kui Sheng, and she was unwilling to become Yin Kui Sheng’s Puppet.
So, Qin Shuang gritted her teeth.
While she still had Innate True Qi.
She immediately activated the remaining Innate True Qi in her body.
“Explode!”
Qin Shuang did not hesitate.
She detonated the Innate True Qi.
Even if her bones were to be annihilated, she would absolutely not be refined into a Puppet by Yin Kui Sheng.
Thus, the Innate True Qi was instantly detonated.
Then…
“Huh?”
Qin Shuang closed her eyes.
But after a long time, she did not feel the explosion of Innate True Qi.
Moreover, everything around her became very quiet.
She opened her eyes.
She saw a scene she would never forget.
Yin Kui Sheng and the other disciples of the Dong Yang Demonic Sect seemed to be “frozen.”
They stood there, motionless.
And the turbulence of Innate True Qi in her body was silently quelled.
“What is going on?”
Qin Shuang’s eyes widened.
“Astonishing Swan Saber is not used like this!”
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from behind Qin Shuang.
“Who?”
Qin Shuang was startled.
Who could approach her from behind so silently without her noticing?
Qin Shuang turned around and saw a young-looking man behind her.
But his eyes seemed to have seen many vicissitudes, inconsistent with his young face.
Even more terrifying was that the man waved his hand towards her.
To be precise, he waved his hand towards the saber in her hand.
“Swish.”
The saber in her hand flew out of her grasp and directly into the man’s hand.
“Who is your Master?”
The man asked.
Qin Shuang felt immense fear.
Looking at Yin Kui Sheng, who was “frozen” behind them, Qin Shuang guessed that this was an incomparably terrifying expert.
“Disciple’s Master is Lie Yingniang.”
“So it’s Yingniang…”
The man seemed to recall something and fell into deep thought.
After a long while, the man waved his hand.
Yin Kui Sheng and the others behind him also resumed their movements.
However, Yin Kui Sheng’s face showed extreme terror.
“You… who exactly are you? We are disciples of the Dong Yang Demonic Sect. Our Dong Yang Demonic Sect has produced Golden Core True Persons…”
Yin Kui Sheng now showed an extremely strong desire to survive.
He was only “frozen” just now, but he had not lost consciousness.
Therefore, he knew how terrifying this strange man before him was.
He just wanted to use the prestige of a “Golden Core True Person” to make the other party retreat.
The man seemed completely unconcerned.
His hand grasped the Hilt.
A familiar feeling arose.
He hadn’t held a saber for too long.
But he was not unfamiliar with sabers at all.
“Watch carefully, this is how the Astonishing Swan Saber should be used?”
After speaking, the man directly drew his saber.
“Clang.”
The same saber.
The same Saber Technique.
But the blade light of the saber drawn by the man was as brilliant as a starry river.
It seemed that in everyone’s eyes, there was only the sky full of blade light.
Then, the blade light disappeared.
The saber was already sheathed.
“Pfft.”
Yin Kui Sheng and over a dozen other Dong Yang Demonic Sect disciples all widened their eyes, and a deep Bloodstain appeared on their necks.
“Plop.”
Over a dozen Qi Cultivators all fell to the ground, becoming corpses.
Silence!
The surroundings immediately became quiet.
A strong smell of blood still filled the air.
The disciples of the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land were all dumbfounded.
Is this still the Astonishing Swan Saber?
Especially Qin Shuang, her whole body was trembling.
Even when her Master used the Astonishing Swan Saber, it wasn’t this strong.
Who could understand the Astonishing Swan Saber better than her Master?
“Could it be…”
A bold thought flashed through Qin Shuang’s mind.
But she didn’t dare to think it.
She didn’t even dare to ask.
But deep in her heart, she couldn’t suppress her excitement, and her whole body trembled…
