Chapter 3892 Reencounter with the Heavenly Sword Intent

"Great Sage Haocang!"

Inside a celestial vessel in the chaotic void, Shen Changqing's divine sense landed on the Demon God's Dao Mirror, and his previously calm expression subtly changed.

Lingxiao Sacred Land!

He was no stranger to this force.

According to the intelligence gathered by the Xingdao Alliance, this force is a top-tier power on par with the Tianlan Sword Pavilion.

If we're talking about their peak, the Lingxiao Holy Land was even much stronger than the Tianlan Sword Pavilion.

after all.

Tianlan Sword Pavilion only has the foundation of a sage, but the Lingxiao Holy Land once had a powerful figure who proved to be a Great Sage.

but--

According to the information provided by the Xingdao Alliance, the Great Sage of Lingxiao Holy Land has already perished.

Shen Changqing had considered taking action against the Lingxiao Holy Land, but he was wary of this ancient power that had produced a Great Sage and worried that it might have some hidden tricks up its sleeve. In the end, he chose the Tianlan Sword Pavilion.

after all.

He possesses a magical treasure.

Even if Tianlan Sword Pavilion really has some hidden trump card, as long as the opponent doesn't have a living saint, he is confident in dealing with it.

"This time it was a complete accident. If we had taken the Lingxiao Holy Land as our target, we would have truly kicked a hornet's nest!"

Shen Changqing shook his head inwardly.

That was a great sage from ancient times!

Moreover, he was a dying Great Sage facing a divine tribulation!

Great Saints at this level are the most dangerous and terrifying.

If the other party doesn't make a move, all is well; but once they do, it's a fight to the death.

According to the news coming from the Xingdao Alliance, the Great Sage Haocang was born and immediately began a massacre, almost wiping out half of the Jade Flower Immortal Realm.

Even saints have perished because of this.

visible.

Just how astonishing are the methods of such ancient and powerful beings?

Shen Changqing did not hide the news from the Seven Profound Dao Sect members.

to this end.

The other cultivators were all shocked, but secretly relieved.

fortunately!

They did not linger in the Jade Flower Immortal Realm; otherwise, the Seven Profound Dao Sect would have found it difficult to remain uninvolved in the emergence of the Great Sage from the Spirit Cloud Holy Land.

To put it another way...

If the Seven Profound Dao Sect doesn't stop after destroying the Tianlan Sword Pavilion and continues to attack other forces, then the force that has provoked the emergence of that Great Sage from the Lingxiao Holy Land is very likely to be itself.

At that time, facing an enraged ancient sage, the consequences were predictable.

If we say...

Even after leaving the Jade Flower Immortal Realm, a few cultivators still harbored resentment.

Now.

That lingering resentment had completely dissipated.

If there is one Great Sage in the Jade Flower Immortal Realm, there is a possibility that there will be a second or third Great Sage.

The four immortal continents have unfathomable depths. As a top-tier immortal realm, it wouldn't be surprising if several reclusive great saints lived in the Jade Flower Immortal Realm.

Although such powerful individuals do not easily make a move.

But the problem is.

Nobody dared to gamble.

Looking back now, it is fortunate that the Seven Profound Dao Sect was able to escape unscathed after absorbing the Heavenly Blue Sword Pavilion.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The Seven Mysteries Dao Sect's immortal ship broke through the barrier of the immortal realm and returned to Taiyuan Mansion.

Such a commotion attracted the attention of many cultivators.

"The Seven Profound Dao Sect's immortal ship... they've returned so quickly?"

Everyone knows that not long ago, the Seven Profound Dao Sect set off with a large army to Nanyuan Daozhou. It was thought that such a force would not easily return in a short time, but unexpectedly, not many years have passed and they have returned to Taiyuan Prefecture.

In this regard.

Soon, cultivators began to secretly investigate, trying to find out what had happened at the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Soon.

A few monks then figured out the reason.

When they learned the truth, these cultivators were secretly shocked once again.

"With the Tianlan Sword Pavilion destroyed, no wonder the Seven Profound Dao Sect returned to Taiyuan Prefecture so quickly!"

"The resources of a Saint-level power are probably enough to make the Seven Profound Dao Sect extremely wealthy!"

"Unfortunately... such good fortune is not for us—"

Amidst the shock, the other cultivators could not hide their envy and jealousy.

They didn't know what kind of force Tianlan Sword Pavilion was before.

However, now that numerous forces have invaded Nanyuan Daozhou, top-tier immortal domains like Yuhua Immortal Domain are naturally the main targets.

In this way.

These cultivators naturally understood the origins of the Tianlan Sword Pavilion.

But it is precisely because we understand that we are shocked.

Notice.

The strength of Tianlan Sword Pavilion is not only top-tier in the Jade Flower Immortal Domain, but also among the very best in the current Star Luo Immortal Domain.

A sage does not appear.

How many forces can rival the Tianlan Sword Pavilion?

If the Seven Mysterious Dao Sect's killing of the Thousand Tribulation Venerable Qin Changnian demonstrated their astonishing strength and led many forces to believe that they were capable of joining the ranks of the top forces in the Star Luo Immortal Domain, then...

Now.

The Tianlan Sword Pavilion was destroyed.

The supreme demigod, Tinglan Sword Master, has fallen.

This completely solidified the Seven Profound Dao Sect's strength and status.

In the eyes of other cultivators, that Seven Mysterious Dao Lord was undoubtedly a top expert.

even.

Some cultivators regard them as the most powerful group of semi-saints below the level of saints.

On the other side—

Shen Changqing led his army back to the sect, and the cultivators, including Duan Changsheng, who were responsible for guarding the sect, all breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon returning to the sect, Duan Changsheng immediately went to pay his respects to Shen Changqing and returned the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Diagram.

In this regard.

Shen Changqing casually put the treasure away, then asked, "Has Lu Changge made any moves lately?"

"No, since the sect leader left, that person has been staying in the immortal mansion refining pills and has not made any unusual moves!"

Duan Changsheng shook his head and answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this...

Shen Changqing nodded slightly.

"I am already aware of this matter. You may leave now."

"I shall take my leave now!"

Duan Changsheng respectfully withdrew, and Shen Changqing looked at the location of Lu Changge's immortal abode, his expression unchanged.

The fact that the other party didn't make any extra moves was a good thing in his opinion. At least it likely meant that Lu Changge's stay at the Seven Profound Dao Sect had no other purpose or ulterior motives.

otherwise.

I absolutely cannot leave it behind.

If we can't be friends, then we can only be enemies.

If it is an enemy, Shen Changqing will nip the threat in the bud.

An eighth-rank, third-grade alchemy grandmaster poses a much greater threat than an ordinary half-saint of the same rank.

But for now, Lu Changge is fine.

Then.

Shen Changqing left the Cangyun Immortal Mansion, found a place on Cangyun Peak, and saw a grand hall appear out of thin air, sitting directly on the ground.

This grand hall is none other than the original Tianlan Sword Pavilion.

Even with Shen Changqing's current level of understanding, he couldn't tell what material this hall was made of.

There was one thing he was very clear about.

That is because the material of this hall is extremely hard and special. Even if I use my full strength, it is difficult to leave many marks on it.

In terms of sturdiness alone, it is at least comparable to the top-tier innate imperial weapon.

"One day, if my strength improves further, and I use this great hall as a foundation, I might have the opportunity to forge a top-tier innate imperial weapon!"

Looking at the palace before him, Shen Changqing had a thought pop into his mind, which he then suppressed.

This is easier said than done.

Then.

Shen Changqing walked into the main hall. Although the Longevity Immortal Stele was no longer there, the ancient Daoist charm it contained still remained.

However, Shen Changqing did not pay much attention to these residual Daoist charms. Instead, with a thought, he took out all the Longevity Immortal Tablets.

One hundred and twenty-three immortal steles.

There aren't many.

Not one is missing.

"The Longevity Immortal Stele is damaged, and the inheritance of Daoist charm is incomplete, but it is not a big deal. With such a longevity inheritance, the sect's foundation has been greatly enhanced."

The accumulated heritage of the Tianlan Sword Pavilion over countless years, from ancient times to the present, is enough to save the Seven Profound Dao Sect from many detours!

Shen Changqing's gaze fell on these immortal tablets. Each tablet had cracks, so many that they were as dense as a spider web, as if they would shatter at the slightest touch.

At most, a third of the immortal tablets are covered, not to the point of breaking at any moment.

After taking out the Longevity Immortal Stele, Shen Changqing did not leave the main hall, but instead went into seclusion there to comprehend the Daoist principles of longevity within it.

Each Immortal Stele of Immortality represents the legacy of an Immortal Half-Saint.

This is a significant opportunity for cultivators at the semi-saint level and below.

The last time I comprehended such an immortal stele was in the Xuanji Immortal Sect in the Chaotic Void Sea.

but.

The foundation and heritage of the Xuanji Immortal Sect are actually not much different from those of the Tianlan Sword Pavilion.

The Xuanji Immortal Sect has more experts at the semi-saint level.

Despite their respective strengths and backgrounds, there is still a gap in overall strength between the two sides.

The most important thing.

That is why the Tianlan Sword Pavilion was able to establish its foundation in the Jade Flower Immortal Realm and endure for countless ages, while the Xuanji Immortal Sect could only reside in the Chaotic Sky Sea.

Just this one point.

This is enough to illustrate the gap between the two sides.

now.

Shen Changqing's gaze fell on one of the ancient immortal steles.

That was one of only three immortal tablets of saint level. Such tablets had few cracks, and although the saint had fallen countless years ago, the terrifying Dao aura still made people feel trembling.

"Heavenly Sword Intent!"

Shen Changqing muttered to himself.

From the Immortal Stele of Immortality, he sensed a familiar sword intent, which was extremely similar to the Heavenly Inclined Sword Intent that Tinglan Sword Venerable had used.

Of course.

Such similarities are only relative.

In fact.

Shen Changqing could keenly perceive that there was a fundamental difference between the two Heavenly Inclined Sword Intents.

In comparison, the Heavenly Sword Intent of the Immortal Stele before him was much stronger than that of the Listening Wave Sword Venerable. That vast sword intent was like the collapse of chaos. Even just a little bit of his divine sense falling into the stele made Shen Changqing feel a great threat.

"As expected, the Heavenly Sword Intent of that Sword Master Tinglan was obtained from this Immortal Stele of Longevity."

However, that person did not completely inherit the Heavenly Inclined Sword Intent of their predecessors, but rather integrated it with their own insights to comprehend their own unique Heavenly Inclined Sword Intent!

Shen Changqing pondered to himself.

It is now obvious which of the two overwhelming sword intents is stronger.

But ultimately, while the Heavenly Inclined Sword Intent of the Listening Wave Sword Master is inferior to the Heavenly Inclined Sword Intent before us, it doesn't mean that the former is truly inferior to the latter.

If the Sword Master Tinglan is also a Saint, then that's a different story. (End of Chapter)
