Chapter 1189: Chapter 721: Leaving Seclusion! (4K)_2
The Divine Sword was entirely a dazzling blue, entwined with silver serpents of lightning, exuding an astonishing pressure, as the Nine Heavens Thunderbolt roared.
“Summon the creation thunder, command the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth… swift and compliant to the decree!”
Xujing True Sovereign recited the mnemonic verse, using the peerless Divine Sword to summon the creation thunder from the Nine Heavens!
Above the Leize Holy Land, countless gray creation thunders descended, striking the nine Elemental Lightning Dragon Pillars. The Elemental Lightning Dragon Pillars radiated with brilliant light, and the dragon totems on them were lifelike.
The Divine Sword drew the lightning, consolidating the Nine Heavens Elemental Five Thunder Formation, and the cracks that appeared in the barrier quickly healed, stabilizing the shaking Daoist Temple.
Xujing True Sovereign’s forehead revealed two beads of sweat, evidently having consumed a lot of True Qi to stabilize the Mountain Protection Array.
“The Nine Heavens Elemental Five Thunder Formation can still hold for some time. If reinforcements do not arrive, we will be doomed and must plan a retreat in advance.”
Xujing True Sovereign used his magical treasure to sustain the Nine Heavens Elemental Five Thunder Formation, yet he did not breathe a sigh of relief.
The crisis was not yet resolved.
…
In the Taihua Sacred Land, the Ancestors who were secluded in the back mountain had already emerged, and the Elders and Disciples who were out training had also been summoned back.
Furthermore, the various sects and the Human Dynasty affiliated with the Taihua Sacred Land were all mobilized by the Taihua Sacred Land, countless masters gathered there.
The people from Zhengsheng Sect and Mount Shu also gathered, awaiting Lin Qinghan’s command.
“The Ancestor will remain to guard the Holy Land, while the two of us will lead the team to rescue the Leize Holy Land with the people from the Mysterious Lady Palace. The little girl Qinghan will stay on Mount Taihua to preside over the Holy Land’s affairs.”
Both the Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan and Jiang Family Ancestor had broken into the Immortal Realm, their confidence greatly increased, and they asked the strongest Lin Shiyu of the Holy Land to stay on Mount Taihua while they led the team down the mountain to follow the Mysterious Lady Palace into action.
They knew Mount Taihua had the Mountain Protection Array left by the Taihua Sword Maiden back in the day, which could hold even if attacked by the Demon Lord.
Leading the team down the mountain meant the possibility of encountering the Demon Army under the Demon Lord’s command, extremely perilous.
Lin Qinghan had not fully matured; should she perish mid-journey, it would be a huge loss for the Taihua Sacred Land.
Thus, the Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan and Jiang Family Ancestor decided to personally lead the team.
The Taihua Sacred Land split the experts of the Holy Land and the associated sects into two groups: one to stay in the Holy Land and the other to rescue the Leize Holy Land.
“Yue’er, take good care of our daughter.”
Lin Xuantong joined the team of the Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan and Jiang Family Ancestor, reminding his wife to look after their daughter.
Liu Yue’er nodded: “Lin Lang must take care of himself, and if you encounter strong foes, do not force yourself.”
Lin Xuantong smiled: “Don’t worry, I won’t die.”
“The people from the Mysterious Lady Palace are here.”
“It’s the Zi Yun Sword Maiden, ranked seventh among the Mysterious Lady Palace.”
“The Heavenly Court is taking this so seriously, the trouble must be great.”
The Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan and Jiang Family Ancestor both had broken into the Immortal Realm, their senses became keener, and they detected Zi Yun Sword Maiden’s approach before she appeared.
Sure enough, soon, a purple-robed Immortal carrying a longsword led a thousand disciples of the Mysterious Lady Palace down.
The Zi Yun Sword Maiden, the seventh Sword Maiden of the Mysterious Lady Palace, was responsible for liaising with the Taihua, Jade Pool, and Changliu three major Holy Lands.
As for Guanghan Palace, with Zi Yun Sword Maiden’s status, she truly could not command them.
Guanghan Palace, being the tenth Divine Palace of ancient times, ranked after the Mysterious Lady Palace but not significantly weaker than it. Zi Yun Sword Maiden, having risen to her position later, naturally could not command the Guanghan Palace Ancestors.
The Taihua, Jade Pool, and Changliu Holy Lands had close relations and were easy to talk to. The Taihua Sword Maiden who established the Taihua Sacred Land was once the fifth Sword Maiden of ancient Mysterious Lady Palace, so they all gave Zi Yun Sword Maiden face.
“Leize Holy Land is besieged, and the Heavenly Court’s forces were obstructed, hence we of the Mysterious Lady Palace are leading the experts of the Immortal Realm’s left north area southwards to rescue Leize Holy Land. Leize Holy Land is in imminent peril, we must set out quickly, sooner rather than later.”
Zi Yun Sword Maiden saw that the people of Taihua Sacred Land were ready, thus led the group to Jade Pool and Changliu Mountain, to rendezvous with the teams from Jade Pool and Changliu Mountain.
The team from Jade Pool was led by a blue-robed woman.
This woman had a beautiful appearance, with slight worry in her eyes, dressed in blue, seemingly detached from the mortal world.
“This is our Jade Pool Ancestor—Bíluo Fairy.”
“The younger generation pays respect to Bíluo Fairy.”
The Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan, Jiang Family Ancestor, Lin Xuantong, and others all paid respects to the blue-robed woman.
Bíluo Fairy, a significant ancient figure, who had some friendship with Taihua Sword Maiden.
They were all juniors before Bíluo Fairy.
Bíluo Fairy nodded slightly, leading Liu Mufeng, Zhu Tianze, and other Jade Pool descendants to join the team of Zi Yun Sword Maiden.
Zi Yun Sword Maiden was quite courteous to Bíluo Fairy, since this Bíluo Fairy’s cultivation level was no lower than hers.
The Jade Pool’s Matriarch was stationed in Jade Pool to prevent a surprise attack by the Demon Army.
The two teams merged into one and then went to Changliu Mountain.
“Lin Xuantong, who would have thought we would join forces against foes again. This time is perilous, don’t die before I do.”
The Everlasting Immortal of Changliu had been waiting with his disciples, the White Immortal Emperor, Li Changye, and others well beforehand.
The news of the Demon Army’s great invasion spread, with the presence of Mysterious Lady Palace representatives in Changliu Holy Land, they naturally received the news immediately, summoned Elders and disciples, and awaited the arrival of Taihua Sacred Land and Jade Pool Sacred Land to rendezvous.
Lin Xuantong rolled his eyes: “Don’t speak inauspicious words.”
“Why hasn’t my junior brother returned yet?”
Li Changye scanned the people from Taihua Sacred Land and couldn’t find his junior brother Lu Changsheng, feeling worried.
Sensing Li Changye’s concern for Lu Changsheng, Lin Xuantong said: “Changsheng is not a person of misfortune, he will probably return soon.”
“Ancestor, are you going down the mountain too?”
The Everlasting Immortal of Changliu noticed an old man carrying a longsword with gray hair and beard appear from nowhere.
The Old Sword Saint nodded: “In this catastrophe, I cannot remain uninvolved, swiftly defeating the Demon Realm is the right path.”
“Chen Jiuxuan, we are to cooperate again.”
Zi Yun Sword Maiden had once met the Old Sword Saint, Chen Jiuxuan, during the extermination of the hatching Devouring Demon Worms in the Valley of Doom.
Zi Yun Sword Maiden revealed the origin of the Old Sword Saint.
“So he is Chen Jiuxuan!”
Many, including Lin Xuantong, only learned the true name of this Old Sword Saint today.
Chen Jiuxuan was a renowned name a hundred million years ago.
In those days, Chen Jiuxuan fought against many, single-handedly defeating nine geniuses ranked within the top hundred of the Qilin Ranking, dominating the scene.
Later on, Chen Jiuxuan also defeated eighteen contemporaneous geniuses of the Heavenly Court Divine Palace, hailed as another peerless Sword Dao genius following the Heavenly Sect Leader Gu Lingxu.
However, Chen Jiuxuan seemed to have encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, unable to break through, hence faded from the public’s attention.
Unexpectedly, this self-sealed cultivator, who roamed the earthly realm as a mortal for thirty million years, experiencing the varied facets of life, turned out to be the once-stunning Sword Dao genius Chen Jiuxuan.
The Old Sword Saint faced the startled gazes of the crowd with unwavering calmness, his heart like a tranquil ancient well.
Thirty million years of earthly cultivation had allowed him to see through the varied facets of human life, no longer the sharp Sword Dao genius who would duel for fame and fortune with various talents.
The Old Sword Saint merely said lightly: “Let’s set out.”
Zi Yun Sword Maiden nodded, everyone summoned their Flying Swords, heading to Leize Holy Land.
A thousand disciples of the Mysterious Lady Palace, along with tens of thousands of disciples from the three Sacred Lands, gathered towards Leize Holy Land.
On the left north side of the Immortal Realm, other Sword Maidens from the Mysterious Lady Palace were leading other Human Race Holy Lands, Immortal Dynasties, and sects, also gathering towards Leize Holy Land.
At this time, Lu Changsheng had finally left the Chaos Realm and returned to the City-Overthrowing Palace.
The Elders of the City-Overthrowing Palace were all shocked to see Lu Changsheng emerge from retreat.
Lu Changsheng and his team had all broken through to the Divine King Realm!
Moreover, Lu Changsheng’s aura was restrained, even they found it difficult to discern the depth of his cultivation.
Lu Changsheng came forth to bid farewell to the Palace Master of the City-Overthrowing Palace.
The Palace Master of City-Overthrowing Palace had shown him kindness and was Su Wudi’s Dao Companion, so he naturally had to visit to say farewell before leaving.
“Disciple, accompany him on a journey to the Immortal Realm. This catastrophe is also a trial for you.”
“Disciple accepts the order.”
Dance of the Enchanting City received the master’s command to journey to the Immortal Realm with Lu Changsheng.
