Zhong Province.
In front of the Great Dao Sect’s mountain gate.
The clouds and mist moved like waves, and the pavilions seed to float on the clouds, appearing and disappearing like a scene from a fairy tale.
Anyone who sees such a scene would feel a deep shock and wonder in their hearts.
Yet, if one looks down further, seeing the deep and vast ravine, and the figure of a Qiao family mber standing quietly like a tall tree, they might have a different opinion.
Two people rode in on galloping horses, one in front and one behind.
The one in front was a young man with deep-set eyes and a commanding presence, while the one behind was a slightly immature boy, around sixteen or seventeen years old.
Both were dressed elegantly and looked noble, but in front of that silent figure, they seed less impressive.
That person stood like a green pine, silent as a stubborn rock, firmly perched on the edge of the cliff, yet no less grand than the floating fairy mountains.
"It really is a Qiao family mber…"
The young-looking Founding Emperor Yan spoke quietly, and the frown on his face eased a little.
Since the Qiao family’s "Spiritual Sound Conducting Technique" spread throughout Jiu Province, the spiritual refining Flying Fish Guard was sent again to the other eight states.
The great changes in Zhong Province and Nan Province naturally reached his ears.
However, hearing alone is not as strong as seeing.
Suddenly hearing that the Five Great Immortal Gates were defeated and returned, and that Qiao Shuangtu, known as the champion of martial arts in the human world, had beco invincible.
Even the Great Dao Sect, which was faintly the leader among the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates, underwent drastic changes…
So he hurried here to be with the young Emperor Wuping.
"Hearing is not as convincing as seeing," said Founding Emperor Yan quietly.
"But even seeing this sight, it is hard to believe it is real."
To the right, there was the vast Hundred-mile Desert, the site of the First Inhuman War, which turned Zhong Province’s fertile land into a desert.
This is a scar that has lasted for forty years on the fertile land of Zhong Province, and it is a heavy blow struck in the middle of the Great Yan Imperial Court.
At the sa ti, it is also a source of worry for Founding Emperor Yan, and it was once a flaw in his martial heart.
Now, as Founding Emperor Yan looks to the left, he sees a deep valley lying before the Great Dao Sect.
It is as abrupt as the Hundred-mile Desert, with a clear boundary, as if it divides the land into two.
"Ancestors, your sword…" the young Emperor Wuping reminds at this mont.
Founding Emperor Yan looks down and sees the Human Emperor Sword hanging at his waist, once again glowing softly with a faint golden light, slightly expanding.
"Here it cos again," Founding Emperor Yan says with a complex expression, looking towards the distant Qiao Muflesh clone.
He gently closes his eyes to sense carefully, and indeed, he feels a connection and notices a ssage from Dong Province.
The Flying Fish Guard of Great Yan has traveled to eight states, acting as a relay, as if dozens of threads are flying outwards, allowing several states that had already fallen out of the Great Yan Imperial Court’s control to re-enter its sight.
Just in the past few days, the news from the various states of Jiu Province has made the Founding Emperor Yan, who is over three hundred years old, a bit restless.
"In Dong Province, there appeared a strange phenonon in the sky, with a white rainbow spanning the sun. The Qiao family’s martial arts broke through over ten temples in one day, and wherever they went, the inhumans all retreated; no one dared to confront their power."
"In Bei Province, a strange phenonon in the sky appeared, with a white rainbow spanning the sun. The Qiao family’s martial arts erged…"
"By the Sky Piercing River in Northwest Prefecture…"
"……."
Waves of spiritual ssages, like flashes of lightning in a storm, were transmitted through the relay of the spiritual refining Flying Fish Guards and reached the Imperial Capital of Zhong Province.
So, the Founding Emperor Yan ca, and for the first ti, he brought the young Emperor Wuping out of the palace.
Previously, he rarely left the palace, always mindful of the Great Dao Sect, but now…
Now, the Human Emperor Sword in his hand glows brighter every day, becoming heavier and more refined, gradually exuding the might of a mountain.
When borrowing the sword from the Human Emperor over three thousand miles, its power had almost completely faded, and its light dimd like ordinary iron. However, months later, its brilliance shone again like the sun, even more dazzling than when Founding Emperor Yan used it to strike the Great Dao Sect cultivator in the Zhong Province palace.
"Is the Qiao family mber counterattacking the five great Immortal Gates?" Founding Emperor Yan asked loudly.
This was the huge question that had been on his mind for days.
"No," a voice ca from another direction.
"They are surrounding the five great Immortal Gates."
The newcors were two people, Wu Jing and Li Gongde, who ca from the Wuji Association.
Founding Emperor Yan’s pupils shrank sharply.
He had dealt with the Qiao family mber before, and it wasn’t just once or twice.
Yet each ti he gained a general understanding of the Qiao family mber, a stronger and more terrifying elder of the Qiao family would appear, shattering his old impressions.
Until today.
The Qiao family of martial arts has beco a giant that can stand up to the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates and even surround the five major Immortal Gates.
This truly makes him, a three-hundred-year-old mortal immortal, feel unfathomable.
"Senior Qiao…" Wu Jing began to speak.
"I have so clues about the Sun Xuan Envoy, ‘Black Sun’, who left the Wuji Association."
"In today’s vast world, even the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates have fallen before the elders of the Qiao family. How could he still find a place to hide?"
Back then, he was casually sent by Qiao Mu to look for the missing Sun Xuan Envoy, Black Sun, and only now has he made so progress.
The Sun Xuan Envoy’s cultivation level is at the Golden Core Stage, and since it is very difficult for a mortal practitioner to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, Wu Jing has finally found so clues after days of searching.
"But the Sun Xuan Envoy is indeed a celestial cultivator who has inherited techniques from a ten-earth cultivator. His thods are unpredictable and varied, so I’m afraid…"
"Don’t be afraid, once we find his trail, there will be a mber of the Qiao family’s martial arts to accompany you, so you won’t have to face that Sun Xuan Envoy alone," said Qiao Mu’s clone.
Currently, Qiao Mu has a total of eight flesh clones, which are located in various places across Jiu Province.
No matter where the Sun Xuan Envoy, Black Sun, hides, as long as there is any hint of his presence, Qiao Mu’s flesh clones can arrive quickly.
Wu Jing then took his leave, and Li Gongde stepped forward.
"Senior Qiao, I have heard that the Qiao family plans to attack the five great Immortal Gates."
"As the ancient saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."
"I, Li Gongde, just happen to have so information about these Immortal Gates that may be useful for the elders of the Qiao family."
The source of Li Gongde’s cultivation thod cos from the long-lost "rit Sect" among the ten great sects.
Strictly speaking, he cannot be considered a descendant of the rit Sect and holds no hatred toward the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates.
He had only entered the cave of the rit Sect cultivator and gained so teachings.
He believed in the law of cause and effect, thinking that he had taken on the causes from the rit Sect cultivator, so he naturally expected a reward.
Besides that, since he practiced the teachings of the rit Sect, he would certainly be at odds with the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates—if the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates discovered anyone practicing the teachings of the Ten Earths, they would surely eradicate them.
"The Tongtian Sword Sect is located in the northwest, at the source of the Sky Piercing River."
"It is said that the Sky Piercing River flows majestically from the heavens, with its source coming from beyond the skies. In ancient tis, it was a place that reached the heavens, and occasionally, immortals would descend, often appearing from the source of the Sky Piercing River."
"The Tongtian Sword Sect occupies the source of the Sky Piercing River and specializes in the art of sword cultivation, excelling in attack."
"The Liangyi Sect is famous for its mastery of formation and weapon refining techniques…"
"The Long Life Gate is a unique sect that also practices martial arts. Although it is seen as an unconventional path, it should not be underestimated…"
"The Qingxuan Road in Bei Province is actually the trickiest. Bei Province and Zhong Province have a large population, making them the best places for spiritual connections," Li Gongde explained.
"Among the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates, the Great Dao Sect of Zhong Province stands out as the leader. The Great Dao Sect and Qingxuan Road seem equal, hard to distinguish between them, while Bei Province’s Qingxuan Road was the first to create the Incense Symbol of Divine Fire."
"The path of incense originates from Qingxuan Road," Li Gongde said seriously.
"At first, when the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates had not yet intervened in the mortal world, Qingxuan Road attempted to quietly establish temples in other states and grow its influence."
Qiao Mu’s clone nodded.
Many years ago, when he first t the bandit Wang Songhe in Nan Province, he also saw a deserted temple in the mountains, where a figure nad ‘Immortal Qingmu’ was worshipped.
"Although this plan failed and was later discovered by Immortal Gates like Soul Predicting Path, Qingxuan Road gained so advantages, and its high-level cultivators are the most nurous."
"Qingxuan Road’s mastery of the path of incense does not only focus on creating the Incense Symbol of Divine Fire for stability; they can even create the Incense Divine Body, which is akin to a second dharma body technique…"
Li Gongde had clearly done thorough preparation before arriving, having gathered substantial information about several major Immortal Gates.
"Therefore, Bei Province’s Qingxuan Road should be the hardest challenge…"
At this mont, Li Gongde spoke.
Qiao Mu, who had been quietly listening until now, suddenly opened his eyes and finally said:
"You are very right."
"But… it’s a little late."
Li Gongde looked surprised and was a bit confused.
anwhile, the Founding Emperor Yan, who wore the Human Emperor Sword, suddenly felt a shock in his heart.
A ssage from afar told him about a big event that just happened in Bei Province.
"The long rainbow that pierces the sun does not fade away; the Qiao family’s martial arts have alone broken through the mountain gate of Qingxuan Road, causing the mountains to collapse and the earth to shake, with a sound like thunder."
………………..
Thunder rumbled.
A figure streaked across the sky like a shooting star.
Wherever it went, lofty towers filled with celestial energy crumbled and shattered, and the floating peaks continued to break apart, even beginning to fall.
Rainbows danced in the air, but soon these rainbows quickly vanished, leaving only drops of bloody rain falling from the sky.
"Where is the sect leader? Where is the sect leader?" a cultivator cried out urgently.
"Quickly summon the sect leader to deal with this creature!"
anwhile, deep within the Qingxuan Road sect, the sect leader was anxious and restless, pacing in the main hall.
"Where is Patriarch Qingmu? Why hasn’t Patriarch Qingmu made a move yet?"
"Quickly go to the Cave Heaven Small World and summon Patriarch Qingmu to deal with this creature!"
The leader of the Qingxuan Road Sect once personally took part in the siege of Peach Blossom Villa by the Five Great Immortal Gates.
After having a firsthand battle with a mber of the Qiao family and seeing the difficulties and strength of people like Qiao Shuangtu, he now feels no desire to fight at all.
"I didn’t expect the Qiao family to have such astonishing martial artists besides Qiao Shuangtu."
The leader of the Qingxuan Road Sect did not take action.
Mainly because he was afraid.
When they were about to encircle Qiao Xin, suddenly Qiao Shuangtu appeared.
This has been the pattern of the Qiao family mbers’ appearances over the years. Even if he could defeat the Qiao family mber attacking the mountain gate, what would it matter?
What if the next one was Qiao Shuangtu, or another Qiao family elder who was even stronger than him? How should he respond?
The risk of dealing with a Qiao family mber is so great that even a legendary Immortal Sect Leader would hesitate.
So, from the perspective of the leader of Qingxuan Road sect, the sect has reached a mont of impending doom, and even he, a Soul Changing cultivator, may not be able to turn the tide.
Therefore, he can only report to the Supre Elder…
However, for so reason, he had already gone to summon the Supre Elder, but for unknown reasons, there has been no response for a long ti…
………………..
Inside the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Small World.
A waterfall cascades down from the cliff, splashing onto the stones below, and a mist of water spreads out, with a rainbow appearing shortly after.
Patriarch Qingmu of Qingxuan Road sits with his eyes closed under the tree by the waterfall, his long beard dampened by the mist, but he shows no sign of movent.
"Master, do you really intend to watch Qingxuan Road face destruction without helping?"
The leader of Qingxuan Road sect, transford into a paper man, appeared before him, earnestly pleading.
"Yes." Patriarch Qingmu had no expression, speaking briefly and clearly, decisively and resolutely.
His answer was so decisive that it made the leader of Qingxuan Road doubt if he had heard it wrong.
"But… you are my Immortal Gate ancestor, a sect leader from ancient tis. Why…" The leader of Qingxuan Road looked confused and shocked.
"When trouble cos, you rember ."
Patriarch Qingmu tugged the corners of his mouth and said with a faint smile:
"Although I once was the sect leader of Qingxuan Road, that does not an I am your weapon. I served Qingxuan Road with all my heart, and I would not regret if I fell in battle or lost my path."
"I am no longer the sect leader of Qingxuan Road; the sect leader now is you," Patriarch Qingmu said coldly.
"My words end here. You may leave."
He waved his sleeve, and a great wind suddenly arose, lifting this leader like a paper figure into the sky.
After doing all this, Patriarch Qingmu continued to close his eyes and rest.
He also understood so divination techniques. Although he was not as skilled as the followers of Soul Predicting Path, he still had so insights.
At this mont, the Soul Predicting Path was strangely hidden from the world; how could he act carelessly?
"Is the opportunity to beco an immortal in this world or in another?" Patriarch Qingmu looked up at the sky.
……….
At this mont, the leader of Qingxuan Roadsect felt hopeless.
The Supre Elder inside this Cave Heaven Small World is indeed the greatest support for the sect.
But there is also a huge hidden danger.
This Supre Elder is a living person.
If one is alive, they have their own will and thoughts and may not act according to the interests of Qingxuan Road.
Normally, the Supre Elder has a bond with Immortal Gate, and when the sect faces life and death monts, the Supre Elder usually returns to Jiu Province to help Qingxuan Road overco the crisis.
In past history, Qingxuan Road has survived such tis, and the most dangerous one was during the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths turmoil.
Patriarch Qingmu is now the last Supre Elder in the Cave Heaven Small World of Qingxuan Road.
