Yinglong Sacred Land.
The most powerful sacred land on the outer edge of the Chen Domain.
Eight hundred years ago, this sacred land had contended with Li Yang Cave Heaven and, after its defeat, moved away from the world center, the Twelve Domains, to quietly develop in a corner.
After eight hundred years of accumulation, even though it had never given birth to a True Immortal residing in the world to ascend to Grotto Heaven, its foundation far surpassed that of ordinary holy lands.
Especially since a hundred years ago, in that battle, Daqian Imperial Master Tai A, wielding the might of divine weapons, suppressed the entire Yinglong Sacred Land. Even a dozen Void Immortals from Yinglong Sacred Land together were no match for Tai A with his lone sword.
If not for the critical mont when Yinglong Sacred Land awakened their revered totem—an Innate Divine Beast Yinglong, ancient and nearing the end of its life—Yinglong Sacred Land’s fate might not have been much better than that of Infinite Sacred Land.
The territories of Qiantian were set to expand yet again by twenty to thirty percent.
To this day, affected by the upheaval caused by the devils, Yinglong Sacred Land had retracted its defensive lines, but still, tens of millions of miles within its jurisdiction were ho to hundreds of millions of people.
Moreover, because they had taken in many sects from the surroundings seeking refuge, the proportion of strong individuals among these hundreds of millions was not low.
As for the top powerhouses...
It was consistent with what Fang Tianhua had said: twelve Void Immortals.
What Fang Tianhua did not reveal was that because of the humiliation brought by Emperor Master Tai A a hundred years ago, Yinglong Sacred Land had picked up the previously taboo Divine Weapons, which they feared might block the path of cultivation.
To this day, three individuals had been acknowledged by Divine Weapons.
Two of them, after being prioritized for nurturing, beca Void Immortals without exception.
Once they reached the Void Immortal Realm and wielded the advantage of Divine Weapons, they were equivalent to having two Supre Void Immortals.
Even if, due to the limited ti, Yinglong Sacred Land had not yet been able to finish constructing the Grotto Heaven and could not collect the power of the Spirit chanism, relying on these two Supre Void Immortals, Yinglong Sacred Land still decisively launched a comprehensive counterattack against the devils after confirming through ssages from the Immortal Countries that the main forces of the devils were indeed attracted by the Blood Moat Demon Abyss.
With the counterattack underway, Yinglong Sacred Land reclaid many of its previously lost resource points, and the whole situation of the sacred land was turning for the better.
It was in this context that the Holy Master of Yinglong Sacred Land—Mu Changsheng, who had reached the level of the Strongest Void Immortal solely through his own talent without relying on Divine Weapons—heard of the arrival of the Lingxiao Palace Master from a major force in Qiantian.
Motivated by a certain thought, he imdiately summoned Di Luo, who had beco an elder of Yinglong Sacred Land, and inquired in detail about the related information regarding the Qiantian World.
...
"Great Divine Power?"
Mu Changsheng, hearing Di Luo’s words, couldn’t help but be startled, but soon he cald down, "So, he has the strength of a Supre Void Immortal?"
"rely capable of releasing similar attacks."
Di Luo said gravely, "The Lingxiao Palace Master’s ability to do so relies entirely on external objects, a War Spiritual Artifact known as ’Cheng Ying cha’..."
He paused for a mont then added, "It may possess the might of a Divine Weapon, but he himself is not worth ntioning."
"Divine Weapon..."
Mu Changsheng’s heart stirred.
If it’s about Supre Void Immortals...
Yinglong Sacred Land has three existences at that level.
Three against one.
The advantage lies with Yinglong Sacred Land.
Moreover...
Yinglong Sacred Land also has Innate Divine Beast Yinglong as their trump card.
"Are you certain that Master Wushi has indeed perished?"
Mu Changsheng asked again.
"Certain."
Di Luo said emphatically.
He knew that for the past hundred years, the reason why Qiantian had remained peaceful and stable, unaffected by external forces, was due to the existence of Master Wushi, who could rival True Immortals in battle prowess.
It was also because of this terrifying being that the surrounding devils and sacred lands never dared to cast a covetous glance towards Qiantian.
Therefore, he was not surprised by the Holy Master of Yinglong asking him to confirm this news for the fourth ti.
"Furthermore, the Holy Master must have sent soone to Qiantian to investigate the matter of Master Wushi’s death, correct?"
"We did investigate, but the result was too unthinkable..."
Mu Changsheng shook his head, "Such a being as Master Wushi, to die at the hands of a Deva, even if he is the new Sky Extre Sword Master..."
Di Luo did not know how to answer this either.
Master Wushi, a being whose combat power rivaled that of a True Immortal, was killed by Venerable Xuan Tian with the Sky Extre Sword, a person who at most was at the level of a Saint. This was indeed the biggest absurdity he had encountered in his life.
"Since Wushi is truly no more, and relying on the few Saints in Daqian, it is unlikely they can safeguard the security of Qiantian. To prevent Qiantian from being breached by devils, to avoid ten billion of the Human Clan becoming devil fodder, thus strengthening the devils, and similarly, to prevent mass suffering, it is incumbent upon us in Yinglong Sacred Land to accept the invitation from Lingxiao Palace, to take charge in Qiantian, and replace Daqian in guarding the safety of Qiantian’s ten billion humans."
Mu Changsheng spoke solemnly.
Di Luo looked at the Holy Master of Yinglong Sacred Land.
The other party was still very cautious.
Fearing Master Wushi was still alive, they did not dare to invade Qiantian World openly, only daring to act under the guise of the visit of the Lingxiao Palace Master to their Yinglong Sacred Land, by covertly controlling Lingxiao Palace and using its identity to seize control of Qiantian.
But...
It would be good if Yinglong Sacred Land could take charge in Qiantian.
Once they set out for Qiantian, they would inevitably clash with Venerable Xuan Tian, who had taken control of the True Immortal Palace.
Then, Venerable Xuan Tian will not be able to escape his fate...
If all goes well, he might be able to regain the Sky Extre Sword.
With the Divine Weapon recognizing him as its master, he would imdiately possess the battle power of a Peak Void Immortal. Once he extracted the full potential of this Divine Weapon and beca the second Emperor Tianji, having battle strength comparable to a High-level True Immortal or even a Top True Immortal would certainly not be too ambitious to hope for.
And True Immortal...
Even in this era that has the path of Immortal Masters, they still belong to the most elite tier.
All the True Immortals in the entire world added together, I fear there are also no more than a few dozen.
"Holy Master, the two elders and the guest from Lingxiao Palace will be arriving soon. Ying Wuxia and Yun Yin, the two Venerable ones, have also already arrived."
At this mont, a disciple’s voice ca from outside.
"Good."
Mu Changsheng smiled slightly, "Since Master Gu of Lingxiao Palace sincerely invited us to save Qiantian, we naturally cannot disappoint their fervent wish."
"Saint Mu is truly a person of great benevolence and righteousness,"
Di Luo echoed in agreent.
Obviously, they had already thought of how to "deal with" the Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace.
Soon after, the two left the palace.
Outside, there were not only Ying Wuxia and Yun Yin, masters of the Path of Divine Weapons, but also four other Void Immortal Venerable Elders from the Void Immortal Realm.
They equated to three Supre Void Immortals and four ordinary, varied-ranking Void Immortals.
The seven exchanged glances and simultaneously saw the smile in each other’s eyes.
Clearly, Yinglong Sacred Land planned to use their power to oppress, forcefully subdue the spirit of the Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace in preparation for the subsequent takeover of Qiantian.
In such an environnt, Gu Jinlai, led by Ying Hualong and Pang Feiyu, arrived at the core palace complex of Yinglong Sacred Land, landing in a square.
Seeing that Gu Jinlai was not wearing the special Divine Weapon known as the "Cheng Ying cha," Mu Changsheng was sowhat surprised.
But then, he laughed again, "Master Gu has honored us with your personal visit. Yinglong Sacred Land is quite honored. As for your request, we will certainly do our best to fulfill it. Please, this way."
"A request?"
Gu Jinlai looked sowhat surprised.
What request?
Could it be that they knew he wanted to et the Innate Divine Beast Yinglong, so they straightforwardly agreed in advance?
However, he also had his own considerations.
He held no apprehensions about Yinglong Sacred Land and if they truly harbored so inappropriate thoughts...
He would be pleased to see them co to fruition.
Right away, he smiled, "If that’s the case, then I’ll be troubled."
"Please."
Mu Changsheng said, and together with the seven Void Immortals, led Gu Jinlai toward a palace.
"Shall we go directly to where the Innate Divine Beast Yinglong resides?"
Gu Jinlai suggested.
"Yinglong?"
Mu Changsheng turned his head to glance at Gu Jinlai. Indeed, he was not wearing the War Armor nad ’Cheng Ying cha.’ Yet, he was so confident that only the Divine Beast Yinglong from Yinglong Sacred Land could defeat him?
Let’s say he was a Supre Void Immortal for the mont.
But...
They had three Supre Void Immortals.
Imdiately, Mu Changsheng introduced with a smile, "Master Gu, don’t rush. Let introduce you."
He pointed to a woman in palace attire beside him, and a middle-aged man around forty, "These are two Supre Elders of Yinglong Sacred Land, Ying Wuxia and Yun Yin. Although they are Void Immortals... oh, in Qiantian, they are called Earthly True Immortals, probably because they yearn for the realm of a True Immortal staying in the world, hence the term True Immortal with ’Earthly’ added at the beginning. But that’s not the point. The point is..."
Yinglong Saint Master gave a slight smile, "He is like Lin Yuan, Xu Wu, Tai A, and others from Qiantian a hundred years ago, a Supre Void Immortal who has been recognized by a Divine Weapon. I say this so Master Gu can understand, right?"
Gu Jinlai glanced at Di Luo, who was following behind Mu Changsheng.
And this original number one expert of the Demon Path from Qiantian also gave him a sowhat playful smile.
"I understand,"
Gu Jinlai responded.
"As for myself, I have not embarked on the Path of Divine Weapons, yet relying on the inheritance of Yinglong Sacred Land, as of today, I have cultivated to the realm of Supre Void Immortal, wielding a Great Divine Power. In other words, even without relying on the Divine Beast Yinglong, our Yinglong Sacred Land’s strength can stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Tai A, Lin Yuan, and Xu Wu from the past, and even when facing Wushi and Tian Ji, we’ll not be outdone by much..."
Mu Changsheng reached this point, foregoing any roundabout ways, he stopped walking, looked at Gu Jinlai with an expression that seed to carry a trace of sincerity, "Thus, I’d like to ask Master Gu for a favor, or rather give the others in Qiantian an opportunity. What do you think?"
"Let’s hear it."
Gu Jinlai said calmly.
"You understand the current situation in Qiantian better than I do. Without the Master Wushi, a presence with battle power rivaling True Immortals, a population of a billion becos a most succulent larder for Devils. To prevent the Devils from breaking through Qiantian and rapidly growing stronger, and to save the lives of those billion from the Human Clan, I’d like to ask Master Gu to lead us from Yinglong Sacred Land to Qiantian to assist us in defending Qiantian and protecting those billion humans. What do you think?"
Mu Changsheng stated courteously.
Gu Jinlai looked at the Holy Master of Yinglong Sacred Land...
He felt sothing was amiss when Ying Hualong and others suddenly changed their minds and invited him to visit Yinglong Sacred Land. He had thought about countering their sche, but he didn’t expect...
That the Holy Master would speak so straightforwardly.
This made so of his own plans seem sowhat embarrassing to put forward.
