Chapter 1357 - 231: Heavenly Dao Seal

Chapter 1357: Chapter 231: Heavenly Dao Seal

Just as Gong Xuantian’s flesh was annihilated.

Boom!!

Inside the Heavenly Dao Sect.

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted.

Immediately afterward.

A clear light shot to the sky, with a shadow of a Great Seal proudly standing in the void.

"Who dares to be an enemy of our Heavenly Dao Sect!"

A voice akin to heavenly might resounded in the sky dome, and then the shadow of the Great Seal moved to suppress in a certain direction.

Shen Changqing saw the suppressing force, and the Law Bridge he had just coagulated suddenly dispersed.

Long blade slashed out.

The Blade Gang that could annihilate all, directly went for the shadow of the Great Seal.

Boom——

The two forces erupted, both disappearing into nothing.

The next instant.

Shen Changqing tore apart space and vanished from the original spot.

...

The outside world.

Dongfang Zhao, who was waiting, saw the space ahead shaking. As the white whirlpool reappeared, Shen Changqing’s figure came out from inside.

After he came out.

The white whirlpool immediately disappeared.

"Defender Shen, how did things go?"

Dongfang Zhao immediately asked.

Looking at the other’s appearance and the blood-stained long blade, it was evident a battle had just taken place.

But unfortunately.

The fight was inside the Central Profound Realm, and the outside world could not detect anything.

"The issue is temporarily resolved; the foundation of the Central Profound Realm is indeed extraordinary."

Shen Changqing shook his head, not divulging more about the matter.

This time.

His entry into the Heavenly Realm led him to discover a problem.

That is, the Central Profound Realm is indeed different from the outside world; upon entering, a faintly discernible repelling force could be felt.

And that repelling force is probably the reason non-Central Profound Realm people cannot stay there long.

However.

When the repelling force arose, Shen Changqing found his own Cave Heaven was also resisting that force.

In other words.

Others may not stay long in the Central Profound Realm, but he may not be the same.

Nonetheless.

He temporarily did not have the inclination to explore further.

The power of that Great Seal’s shadow made Shen Changqing feel immense pressure.

If he guessed correctly, that should be the Zhen Sect Dao Soldier of the Heavenly Dao Sect mentioned by Qiushui.

From the recent encounter, that Zhen Sect Dao Soldier is definitely not just a Tenth Grade Dao Soldier, there’s a high possibility it has reached the Eleventh Grade.

Otherwise.

Just a shadow force attempting to force him back would be impossible.

With this thought.

Shen Changqing looked at the person before him: "Bai Emperor should keep an eye on the situation in the Western State Domain; I believe the Central Profound Realm shouldn’t make any major moves shortly.

If there are any issues, you can immediately message me; there’s no need to go through the Demon-Subduing Division which is quite troublesome."

After speaking.

He handed over a Messaging Jade Token.

The research into such messaging items by the Demon-Subduing Division is just entry-level, not yet deep.

Put bluntly.

The methods of the Messaging Jade Token also involve aspects of formation.

But right now, everyone in the Demon Sealing Hall is studying the Heaven Extinguishing Formation, having little focus on the matter of Messaging Jade Tokens.

"Alright!"

Grasping the Messaging Jade Token, Dongfang Zhao nodded.

He didn’t inquire about what happened in the Central Profound Realm, but seeing the other’s appearance, it’s clear the process wasn’t very smooth.

His current strength is lacking significantly; asking too much is pointless.

——

Tearing through space.

Shen Changqing returned to the Demon-Subduing Division in just a few breaths.

For him now, spanning two domains is easier than going shopping.

The battle in the Central Profound Realm.

Shen Changqing still needs to ponder over it.

"From Ji Ying’s words, it’s evident that the Central Profound Realm is not a monolith but a complex weave of intriguing forces. If I kill Gong Xuantian, it’s a good thing for other forces, and they definitely wouldn’t intervene.

So the only possible intervention would be from the strong figures of the Heavenly Dao Sect."

"It’s unfortunate that when entering the Central Profound Realm, I didn’t take Qingyi along; otherwise, I could have properly contended with the Zhen Sect Dao Soldier of the Heavenly Dao Sect!"

He felt some regret.

The power of the Eleventh Grade Dao Soldier is indeed terrifyingly strong.

Yet, Immortal Holy Soldiers are stronger than Dao Soldiers.

Even though Qingyi’s power hasn’t recovered, it can still withstand Divine Lord Level attacks.

Normally speaking.

Below the Divine Lord.

By possessing an Immortal Dao Soldier, he basically stands in an invincible position.

But the issue now is, the Heavenly Dao Sect possesses an Eleventh Grade Dao Soldier, which reaches the Divine Lord Level strength.

However, the damage over tens of millions of years means Qingyi hasn’t truly recovered much.

This change.

For the latter to completely ignore the existence of the former is impossible.

"It’s a pity I couldn’t kill Gong Xuantian; otherwise, the Origin Point from a Rule Divine King would definitely be quite substantial!"

Shen Changqing’s face showed regret.

Gong Xuantian’s strength was indeed very strong, ranking among the top three Rule Divine Kings he had seen.

But it was obvious.

After the four-zhang Cave Heaven, his strength among the Divine Kings was already at the absolute pinnacle.

Even a strong opponent like Gong Xuantian was not his match.

"It seems that the Central Profound Realm is indeed related to the Ancient Imperial Court. From the words and demeanor of Gong Xuantian, he seems to understand the Immortal Dao quite well. However, from his words, it seems that the Immortal Dao in the Central Profound Realm has been lost..."

Shen Changqing’s eyes flickered as he recalled the details of that battle.

From start to finish.

He dominated Gong Xuantian in the fight.

The gap in strength had long determined the outcome.

Especially after opening the Cave Heaven, his flesh underwent further transformation, making it difficult even for Ninth Grade Daoist Soldiers to cause harm.

In other words.

Shen Changqing now effectively carried a defensive Supreme Treasure with him, and without reaching a certain Realm and strength, it was impossible to break his flesh defense.

This way.

He stood in an undefeated position at a certain Realm.

"If one day I can coagulate the Cave Heaven Core, my flesh will surely undergo further transformation. By then, even Rule Divine Kings might not be able to break my flesh defense!"

Shen Changqing eagerly anticipated the arrival of that day.

Once the Cave Heaven Core coagulates, his flesh will undoubtedly become stronger.

Even.

One day, relying solely on the strength of his flesh to match an Immortal Holy Soldier, is not impossible.

Of course.

Whether he truly reaches that step is uncertain.

But for anything, there must be room for imagination. If you can see the end with one glance, then it’s meaningless.

The next day.

When Shen Changqing returned to the Heavenly Prison, Ji Ying was absorbing Spiritual Energy to nurture himself, completely immersed and unaware.

"Cough, cough!"

With two dry coughs.

Hearing the sound, Ji Ying was startled awake from his cultivation state.

"You’ve come!"

This time.

Seeing Shen Changqing again, he was no longer as nervous as before.

Ji Ying could see that the other party did not want to kill him, or rather did not have the thought of killing him now.

Not killing him.

This meant that he was still useful.

The most he could do now was try to leave a good impression on the other party, so that even when his usefulness ended one day, he might still have a chance at survival.

Thinking of this.

Ji Ying cautiously asked, "I’ve seen you many times, but I’m not sure of your esteemed name..."

"Shen Changqing."

"Shen Changqing..."

Ji Ying secretly remembered the name.

Afterward.

Shen Changqing said, "Yesterday, someone named Gong Xuantian appeared. What do you know about him?"

"Gong Xuantian!"

Ji Ying’s expression suddenly changed, and when he looked at Shen Changqing again, his gaze was filled with much more shock.

The other party had met Gong Xuantian, and he could still stand here talking to him.

Under such circumstances.

There was only one possibility.

Gong Xuantian lost!

Thinking of this possibility, his heart became even more shocked.

Soon.

All the shock in Ji Ying’s heart turned into reverence for Shen Changqing, and he answered without any reservation: "Gong Xuantian is one of the two Supreme Elders of our Heavenly Dao Sect and was rumored to be a strong practitioner of the Fourth Realm of a Divine King tens of thousands of years ago.

His strength, within the Central Profound Realm, is regarded as being at the pinnacle.

Apart from Gong Xuantian, our Heavenly Dao Sect has another Supreme Elder named Gong Tongtian. The two are said to be brothers, but the latter’s reputation is considerably weaker than Gong Xuantian’s, which suggests that his strength might also be somewhat inferior."

Ji Ying not only answered the question but also shared some personal information.

Seeing the cooperation.

Shen Changqing was also quite satisfied in his heart.

A wise person knows the time.

Understanding that while under the roof of others, the very least one can do is survive longer than others.

Strength!

Does not necessarily mean indomitable might.

Often, living longer is not something fleeting heroism can compare with.

After speaking.

Ji Ying cautiously asked from the side: "I wonder what happened to the Supreme Elder?"

"I destroyed his flesh with the intention of entering the Divine Kingdom to kill him, but unfortunately, your Heavenly Dao Sect had strong practitioners intervene, allowing him to survive."

Shen Changqing stated calmly.

But these words, when heard by Ji Ying, only made his reverence in his heart grow even deeper.

Indeed!

Gong Xuantian indeed lost to him.

Shen Changqing said: "When I wanted to slay Gong Xuantian, a phantom of a Great Seal appeared. Do you know the origin of that Seal?"

"The phantom of a Great Seal... what you are likely referring to is our Heavenly Dao Sect’s Heavenly Dao Seal!"

"Heavenly Dao Seal?"

"The Heavenly Dao Seal is the Zhen Sect Dao Soldier of our Heavenly Dao Sect, existing for countless ages. It is precisely due to the presence of the Heavenly Dao Sect that various forces dare not easily invade our sect.

Based on the information I have, the Heavenly Dao Seal has not acted many times, but each action results in the fall of a strong practitioner of the Fourth Realm of a Divine King."

Ji Ying recounted all the information he knew.

Finally.

He looked at the person in front of him, his face full of admiration: "For you to retreat unscathed under the action of the Heavenly Dao Seal, such strength truly commands my respect!"
