"'The changing heavens and earth...' Ding Chaomu's eyes widened. He was now in the Immortal Sovereign Realm, and his breakthrough in the past three months had been very smooth. Simultaneously, with the aid of the 'Xuandu One Breath Skill,' he had successfully comprehended a special Heaven and Earth thod: the 'Hundred Refining Spirit Treasure True Scriptures.' This thod could integrate Magical Artifacts into his own body, granting him nurous mystical abilities.
Others did not know that Ding Chaomu's journey to his current cultivation was due not only to his own talent and inheritance but also to a powerful innate magical treasure. This treasure could accelerate his Cultivation and increase the probability of breakthroughs. Even when breaking through from the Immortal Emperor Realm to the Immortal Venerable Realm, this innate magical treasure provided him with a success rate as high as forty percent. It possessed other abilities as well, but to Ding Chaomu, the innate magical treasure was ultimately an external object he couldn't fully control. Now, things were different. With the 'Hundred Refining Spirit Treasure True Scriptures,' he could ld this innate magical treasure into his own body.
"'But this innate magical treasure is difficult to incorporate into my body; after all, it's a spirit of Heaven and Earth,' Ding Chaomu muttered under his breath.
The primary purpose of the 'Hundred Refining Spirit Treasure True Scriptures' was to refine acquired magical treasures, though it could also refine innate magical treasures. However, refining the latter was far more demanding in terms of both difficulty and ti.
"'No rush. First, I'll return to deal with the Grand Heaven Sect. Then I will have plenty of ti to cultivate the 'Hundred Refining Spirit Treasure True Scriptures,'' Ding Chaomu thought. He did not intend to imdiately begin comprehending and cultivating it, as there were priorities. The survival of my Hengtian Sect matters most.
Suppressing his excitent, he flew towards the Hengtian Sect. However, what ca into view was not his mountain gate's familiar appearance, but a pile of ruins.
In that instant, Ding Chaomu froze. I must have gone to the wrong place, was his first thought. But the various chaotic energies and traces indicated that this was indeed his Hengtian Sect.
It has been destroyed... Who did this? Ding Chaomu suppressed his rage. He could not believe such a thing could happen just three months after he left.
He didn't linger for long. Through covert channels he had previously established, he quickly learned the full story.
Just three days after he had entered seclusion and broken through to the Immortal Sovereign Realm, the Grand Heaven Sect began its assault on the Hengtian Sect. Then, two months ago, the Grand Heaven Sect launched a sudden, decisive attack. This ti, it wasn't just the Grand Heaven Sect acting alone; having already seized control of the Western Region, they mobilized all its sects. Due to the backing of the Supre Sword Sect, both Righteous Path and Demon Path sects participated in the attack.
The Hengtian Sect held out for fifteen days but ultimately fell. The mountain gate was breached, and everyone, from the newest Outer Disciples to the esteed Guest Elders, was slaughtered by the Grand Heaven Sect. Not a single soul was spared.
More importantly, a warrant had been issued for his arrest. The alleged cri was collusion with the Strange Domain and the Evil Realm—a transgression punishable by death. This sa accusation had been the pretext for destroying the Hengtian Sect.
The Supre Sword Sect in the Central Territory did not react to this. They had authorized the Grand Heaven Sect to consolidate all sects in the Western Region, precisely to counter the Strange Domain and the Evil Realm. Although the Grand Heaven Sect was indeed abusing its authority, it was rely the destruction of a single sect. As long as it didn't affect the larger strategic situation, the Supre Sword Sect was willing to turn a blind eye, considering it a minor affair.
After understanding the causes and consequences, Ding Chaomu's expression was complex, a furious rage burning wildly within him. "They... how dare they!!!" he roared under his breath. At this mont, he also learned that until their deaths, no one in the Hengtian Sect had betrayed him. This realization fueled his hatred even more.
"I thought the Supre Sword Sect was the leader of the Righteous Path, but it seems they are no different from the Demon Path." Not only did he hold a grudge against the Grand Heaven Sect and all the sects in the Western Region, but he also resented the Supre Sword Sect. If not for the orders issued by the Supre Sword Sect, none of this would have happened.
"I want them all dead." Ding Chaomu gritted his teeth. He understood that if he truly dared to retaliate, he could indeed wipe out all the Western Region sects involved in his sect's destruction. However, the Supre Sword Sect would undoubtedly intervene because they still needed people to deal with the Strange Domain and the Evil Realm. If he dared to act, the Supre Sword Sect would send people to take his life.
So, I need a foolproof plan. Now that the Righteous and Demon Paths have joined forces, and even the three major sects of the Demon Path have beco lackeys of the Supre Sword Sect, what should I do? He didn't act rashly out of anger. After all, this matter was imnse, almost tantamount to making himself an enemy of the entire Green Nether Fairyland. I want revenge, but not thoughtlessly.
'Co~ Cultivate , I can help you~'
Suddenly, an inexplicable voice erged in his mind. Tracing the source, he realized it was the 'Hundred Refining Spirit Treasure True Scriptures.' This is completely unexpected.
But just as he was about to explore further, an unaccountable rejection surged within him, as though sothing unfortunate would happen if he started cultivating. Therefore, he beca slightly cautious. Is there a problem with this Heaven and Earth thod? he frowned. I don't know why this is happening, but I can tell sothing is amiss. Otherwise, why would such a mysterious voice be tempting ?
However, upon another look now, there were no apparent problems. It must be an illusion! He attributed it to his own mind playing tricks, which was not uncommon. Perhaps it's because I've been overthinking and instinctively jumped to that conclusion. After all, the 'Hundred Refining Spirit Treasure True Scriptures' is a Heaven and Earth thod. It can even refine Heaven and Earth Magical Treasures into oneself. Perhaps it can truly offer a slim chance of survival.
In fact, if Ding Chaomu were willing to let this matter go and negotiate with the Supre Sword Sect as an Immortal Honored Realm Cultivator, the sect might agree to eliminate only the primary culprits in the Grand Heaven Sect. However, if he were to let it go, his Dao Xin would undoubtedly be Broken. Not only would he be trampled by the Supre Sword Sect, but he would also have to act as their obedient dog. How could I ever let go? If I did, then instead of slaying the entire Grand Heaven Sect, they would destroy . After all, I would have no power to resist at that point.
Therefore, at this mont, he had no alternatives left. My only choice is to lie low and cultivate the 'Hundred Refining Spirit Treasure True Scriptures.' It's a gamble. If I win, not only can I make a coback, but I can also beco even stronger. If I lose, aning the 'Hundred Refining Spirit Treasure True Scriptures' isn't as powerful as I imagine, it doesn't matter. I can just wipe out all the sects in the Western Region, then flee to the Eastern Region or hide sowhere in the Central Territory. As for being caught, that's a problem for later.
Such situations, battling against Heaven and Earth, weren't unfamiliar to him; in fact, he had encountered many. So the first step is to refine the innate magical treasure. I need to find a safer place.
Although Ding Chaomu had already reached the Immortal Sovereign Realm, he still took his personal safety very seriously. This was not difficult. Now, stronger than before, things were much easier. Very quickly, he established a hidden and safe temporary cave dwelling, undetectable unless by an Immortal Honored Realm Cultivator.
With all preparations completed, he naturally began to deeply comprehend the 'Hundred Refining Spirit Treasure True Scriptures.' However, the more he comprehended, the more intense his own rejection beca, as if the 'Hundred Refining Spirit Treasure True Scriptures' were not a good thing. This ti, I don't doubt the 'Hundred Refining Spirit Treasure True Scriptures'; I doubt myself instead. Could it be that the innate magical treasure has already affected ?
The 'Hundred Refining Spirit Treasure True Scriptures' stated that innate magical treasures are sentient, capable of perceiving their own fortunes and misfortunes. Because Cultivators cannot refine them yet use them for extended periods, they can, to a certain extent, be influenced by these innate magical treasures. If a particularly powerful innate magical treasure were involved, it could even turn the Cultivator into a Treasure Slave, completely subservient to it.
At this thought, a chill seized his heart. Since his rise from obscurity, if he had to admit relying on anything, it was undoubtedly this innate magical treasure he had acquired. Rethinking it now, it might be harboring ulterior motives. A Heaven and Earth thod is rely an inanimate set of principles, while an innate magical treasure is a Spiritual Object. How could an inanimate thing affect ? Therefore, the rejection I feel must be coming from the sentient innate magical treasure, trying to prevent from Refining it. That's why it's starting to influence .
It seems this 'Hundred Refining Spirit Treasure True Scriptures' is destined for . If soone else had it, they might unknowingly beco a Treasure Slave without even realizing it. At this point, Ding Chaomu grew wary of his innate magical treasure. All evidence pointed towards it, unless the innate magical treasure could sohow speak and prove its innocence. But if the innate magical treasure did speak, I would trust it even less. That would an it possesses high intelligence and is fully capable of scheming against .
