Chapter 2394 - 2397: The Root of Calamity

"Sect Leader, I'm afraid... Qin Tian has crippled Du Yunlong. I suspect Du Yunlong's Dan Tian Qi Sea has suffered severe damage!"

"Sect Leader, on the territory of our Qiankun Immortal Sect, this guy from the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect has struck so ruthlessly, it's clear they don't regard us at all! What's more, I suspect he was instructed by Xuanyuan Ting specifically to suppress our Qiankun Immortal Sect!"

Beside Qiankun Daojun, two sect leaders of the Qiankun Immortal Sect whispered angrily.

They speculated about a conspiracy theory, after all, Qiankun Immortal Sect had been unfriendly to Xuanyuan Immortal Sect before, even humiliating Xuanyuan Ting and others several times.

Could it be revenge this time?

"I won't let this rest easily..."

Qiankun Daojun's face was heavy, but anger aside, everyone was watching him at this moment, including those three envoys from the Three Great Immortal Sects.

There was no choice; even though his heart was filled with rage, Qiankun Daojun had to suppress it, step outside, and still put on a smile to award Qin Tian.

These ten minutes were the most painful ten minutes Qiankun Daojun endured in hundreds of years.

He had originally prepared an award speech for Du Yunlong's victory in the finals.

But now, he had to direct the praise to Qin Tian...

An inexplicable awkwardness.

When he announced Qin Tian as the champion, there was a wave of cheers from the audience, and he had to suppress his fury, stepping down from the podium.

The scene became a sea of joy for Xuanyuan Immortal Sect.

People from other Immortal Sects, of course, also joined in the cheers.

Only the people of Qiankun Immortal Sect looked like they'd been crushed, their faces showing an indescribable sense of humiliation.

Qiankun Daojun ordered Du Yunlong to be brought out from the Fifth Level Martial Arts Cave Heaven; he personally took Du Yunlong's pulse and diagnosed him. Upon confirming that Du Yunlong's Dan Tian Qi Sea had suffered severe damage, a heavy weight hit his heart.

"In the future... even if Yunlong's Dan Tian Qi Sea is healed, I'm afraid he will only retain about forty percent of his original strength..."

Once Qiankun Daojun spoke these words, several elders of the Qiankun Immortal Sect were dumbfounded. They all exclaimed unanimously in surprise, "Forty percent..."

"Forty percent means Du Yunlong is basically crippled, right?"

"In the future, won't our Qiankun Immortal Sect lose Du Yunlong, our pillar among disciples? Then what will we do?"

For a moment, the senior members of Qiankun Immortal Sect started to panic.

With Du Yunlong severely injured and Du Yunjiang also severely injured, the disciple realm of Qiankun Immortal Sect has practically collapsed!

And it was Qin Tian who caused this collapse! Qin Tian alone!

They turned their gaze to Qin Tian in the distance.

At this moment, Qin Tian was completely surrounded by people, each one eager to congratulate him, and Qin Tian, after winning the crown, still seemed quite composed!

Qin Tian had a smile on his face, but it wasn't a wild joyful smile. He politely returned the greetings to the people cheering and celebrating.

This victory was an anticipated one. Qin Tian had long expected it.

Ever since he and Yan Lingshuang returned from their training, fully absorbing his fortuitous treasures, Qin Tian felt himself growing stronger each day, a strength he could sense through the Dan Tian Qi Sea.

This also completely changed his temperament at this time.

When he first came to the Immortal Domain, he was shocked and somewhat looked up to those from the Seven Great Immortal Sects.

But now, he could look down on them.

Defeating Du Yunlong was a basic operation. Now he was only concerned about Yan Lingshuang's situation.

However, seeing Wang Tianqing's and Xuanyuan Shenyue's excited expressions in front of him, Qin Tian felt very gratified. At least he had fulfilled his initial promise to Xuanyuan Shenyue.

"You're really amazing."

Xuanyuan Shenyue said to Qin Tian, "Before coming to the Immortal Domain, in the Spiritual Domain, I only knew you had immense potential in Cultivation Immortality, but I never expected you to develop so quickly, beyond my imagination. Qin Tian, I was not wrong about you."

On the side, Wang Tianqing also praised, "Qin Tian, I initially thought I taught you a lot, but now it seems what I taught you was just superficial. Your strength is so unfathomable, it makes me feel a bit ashamed as your mentor, haha, I am proud to have a disciple like you!"

Xuanyuan Ting came over and said, "Qin Tian, I announce that from now on, you are the senior brother of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect! Of course, by the rules of the Seven Sects Grand Tournament, you are also the senior brother of the Seven Great Immortal Sects from now on, and let's see who dares to look down on our Xuanyuan Immortal Sect!"

Xuanyuan Ting's words were so powerful, winning a full house of applause from the disciples of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect.

Of course, among them, the Eldest Young Master, the Fourth Young Master, and Mo Ziyang, though smiling on the surface, were internally stirred.

"Never thought the seventh found such a backer!" the Eldest Young Master's face was dark, "It seems he didn't go to the Spiritual Domain for healing, but to find reinforcements!"

The Seventh Young Master said, "We used to underestimate him, thinking that after his return, he would be a disabled person, but now it seems the seventh's return is with wild ambitions and a great conspiracy!"

"I used to think he was alone, but now it seems, with Qin Tian and Wang Tianqing's help, and with father's trust, the Fourth, our major opponent in the future might not be each other, but the seventh," the Eldest Young Master implied.

The Fourth Young Master naturally understood what the Eldest Young Master meant and replied, "Now the seventh has Qin Tian as a trump card, if we go one-on-one against him, we are probably no match. Brother, it seems joining forces is our only route from now on, otherwise, when the seventh rises, there might be no place for you and me in the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect!"

The Eldest Young Master nodded, "Hmm, let's discuss it back home, we can't let the seventh become too strong!"

...

On the evening after the Seven Sects Grand Tournament, a banquet was held for the leaders of the Seven Great Immortal Sects and the three major envoys.

The people of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect planned to head back to Xuanyuan Mountain together the next day.

Initially, Xuanyuan Shenyue had invited Qin Tian to celebrate with them that night, but Qin Tian strongly declined and went alone to the base of the Spiritual Spring Immortal Sect.

The same disciple was guarding the gate, and this time, upon seeing Qin Tian, he greeted him cheerfully and respectfully as senior brother: "Senior Brother Qin, why are you here again? Last time I thought you came to ask Senior Sister Yan Lingshuang for advice on dealing with Du Yunlong, hehe, I really didn't expect you to defeat Du Yunlong so easily without any advice..."

"I'm looking for Elder Qingyun, please pass the message for me."

Qin Tian said directly.

"Elder Qingyun?"

Unexpectedly, Qin Tian came to visit Elder Qingyun, and the disciple was momentarily stunned, then said, "Okay, Senior Brother Qin, please wait a moment, I will report to Elder Qingyun right away."

"Qin Tian!?"

Just as the Spiritual Spring Immortal Sect disciple entered, someone discovered Qin Tian from behind and exclaimed sternly.
