Chapter 3394: Emperor Dayi’s Arrival

the Cangfeng Sword Sect.

Inside the Immortal Palace

, a gloomy atmosphere enveloped the area. Jiang Linyuan, seated at the main seat, wore a sullen expression, a bone-chilling chill permeating the air, silencing the other sect elders.

What could be said?

What else could be said?

This battle

had cost the Cangfeng Sword Sect a crushing loss. While

the Mingguang Holy Land was indeed destroyed,

the sect itself had also suffered heavy losses.

The battle in the Eastern Abyss Domain had

cost the majority of the sect’s Immortal Emperors, and even Jiang Linyuan, the sect leader, had been severely damaged. The entire sect’s strength had plummeted, to less than 50% of its original strength.

More importantly,

the Cangfeng Sword Sect had also offended the Celestial Demon Holy Land.

If the Celestial Demon Holy Land had remained the Immortal Emperor it once was, it would have been fine. However, in the Eastern Abyss Domain battle, the Celestial Demon Holy Land’s Immortal Emperor rivaled the Semi-Saint realm, single-handedly defeating two ancient Semi-Saints.

With such strength, who would dare to treat the other party as an ordinary Immortal Emperor?

At this level of strength, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a Semi-Saint.

At present,

the Hidden Sword Sect has suffered a heavy blow, and has provoked a powerful enemy out of nowhere. Moreover, the Changsheng Divine Sect and Yunjinzhou have taken advantage of the situation and invaded . The impact of this can be imagined.

Although the Guzhou domain has not been affected for the time being, other territories affiliated with the Hidden Sword Sect have gradually become unstable. If

this matter is not handled properly, it will affect the entire sect.

After a long time,

Xie Jun said in a deep voice: “Now Yunjinzhou and the Changsheng Divine Sect are eyeing us covetously, and sixteen immortal domains under our sect are under attack. I wonder what the Sect Master thinks we should do?” Hearing this, he wondered

:

Jiang Linyuan was silent for a moment, then spoke, “Abandon unnecessary immortal realms for the time being, and direct all our strength toward defending the Ancient State.

My injuries haven’t fully healed yet, so it’s inappropriate to take action for now. Once I recover, the sect’s lost immortal realms can be recaptured!”

“Also—” “

Publish the news about the Tailuo Immortal Mine in the Tianxing Territory!”

A chilling glint crossed Jiang Linyuan’s eyes as he finished his words.

Having already torn ties with the Celestial Demon Holy Land, some decisions should be made sooner rather than later.

The reason they attacked the Celestial Demon Holy Land was because they coveted the Tailuo Immortal Mine and the Sainthood opportunities possessed by the Celestial Demon Saint.

A Saint refining! He

must possess numerous opportunities.

Otherwise,

it would be impossible for the other party to have reached this point after hundreds of thousands of years of breakthroughs to the Immortal Emperor stage.

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Linyuan would naturally not act rashly.

After all, no one could know what hidden cards a reincarnated saint might hold.

Only after seeing Shen Changqing injured did Jiang Linyuan take direct action, naturally aiming to exploit his weakness and strike with a single blow.

Unfortunately,

Jiang Linyuan overestimated himself and underestimated Shen Changqing.

The latter’s strength was far beyond that of an Immortal Emperor.

Even without the supreme treasure, he could rival a Semi-Saint, and most newly promoted Semi-Saints were inferior to him in terms of strength.

Jiang Linyuan naturally would not allow such a monstrous being to grow.

Otherwise,

he would become a formidable threat.

Before the Great Tribulation arrived, he should have no chance of achieving immortality.

But—

Jiang Linyuan dared not gamble.

Unbeknownst to himself, the ancient Semi-Saint had already been gripped by a fear within Shen Changqing.

Driven by this emotion, Jiang Linyuan wanted nothing more than to smother him,

even if it meant sacrificing his chance to become a Saint and the existence of the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

There was no other way.

The threat posed by this monstrous being was too great.

Who could guarantee his own fate?

Given millions of years, how far would they advance?

Such beings defy common sense.

Hearing Jiang Linyuan’s words, the other elders all looked puzzled.

“Tairo Immortal Mine?”

While they had heard of the name, they were unaware of its secrets.

Observing the crowd, Jiang Linyuan raised his hand, and a piece of immortal stone appeared.

Everyone’s gaze was involuntarily drawn to the immortal stone.

“Sect Master, this is…”

One elder hesitated.

With his cultivation and vision, he could sense the terrifying Dao rhyme contained within the immortal stone, as if it resonated with his own Dao.

Jiang Linyuan said, “This is the Tailuo Immortal Stone, a treasure found in abundance within the Tailuo Immortal Mine!”

“This stone imbues itself with a supreme Dao aura. Though this Dao aura is rare, its level of power is unmatched by even a semi-saint.

Therefore, I can conclude that the Tailuo Immortal Mine holds a great opportunity, at least at the level of a saint!”

A saintly opportunity!

These words caused the other cultivators to gasp.

Xie Jun’s voice trembled. “If that’s the case, and news of the Tailuo Immortal Mine leaks out, it won’t be so easy for us to get our hands on it!”

“There are so many opportunities in the world. One more Tailuo Immortal Mine isn’t much, and one less isn’t either. If this news gets out, the Heavenly Demon Holy Land will undoubtedly become a target of public criticism.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Demon Holy Land has offended many factions over the years!”

Jiang Linyuan finished his words, his face etched with murderous intent.

“This time!”

“I will condemn the Heavenly Demon Holy Land to eternal damnation!”

A tear of veneer!

We must not give the Heavenly Demon Holy Land any breathing space.

Eliminate them at their roots!   Jiang Linyuan couldn’t help but understand

this principle.   Despite their previous collaboration with the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, that was only to deal with the Mingguang Holy Land. Ultimately, everything was based on the interests of the Hidden Sword Sect.

Jiang Linyuan now believed that abandoning the opportunity to obtain the Tailuo Immortal Mine and completely destroying the entire Heavenly Demon Holy Land was the best course of action for the sect.

Furthermore,

given the Cangfeng Sword Sect’s current situation, even if they kept the secret, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to seize such an opportunity

. On the contrary

, allowing the Tailuo Immortal Mine to fall into the hands of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land would only indirectly enhance their strength, which would be absolutely detrimental to the Cangfeng Sword Sect.

Jiang Linyuan’s words calmed the other sect elders.

Furthermore—

Jiang Linyuan had one more thing to say.

Given the Cangfeng Sword Sect’s current situation, even if they kept the secret, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to obtain the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

It was undeniable that

the Heavenly Demon Holy Land was no longer a mere ant that could be easily suppressed.

With the Heavenly Demon Saint Lord in power, this faction could be considered a holy land of immortality.

Therefore,

this was another reason why Jiang Linyuan abandoned the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

…

External events

had no impact on the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.

For now.

The entire Heavenly Demon Holy Land was under martial law. Every hidden agent belonging to other factions was hunted down.

In just one month, the entire Holy Land was completely purged.

While not every agent could be eradicated, at least over 90% had been eliminated.

The remaining agents were lurking deep within the Holy Land, unwilling to reveal their identities, making their capture difficult.

Consequently,

Shen Changqing did not continue his search.

After all, these deeply hidden agents rarely made any moves.

Consequently,

they left no trace, making them elusive.

Therefore,

completely purging the entire Holy Land was impossible.

One day,

a piece of news arrived, forcing Shen Changqing, who had been handling Holy Land affairs, to temporarily pause.

…

Inside the Immortal Palace,

a blue-robed cultivator appeared. His expression was calm, yet he exuded an extraordinary aura.

When Shen Changqing arrived, his gaze fell directly on him.

“So it’s the Great Yi Immortal Emperor of the Divine Sun Immortal Court. I’m sorry for not welcoming you!”

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Shenhong!”

The Great Yi Immortal Emperor also bowed, a faint smile on his face.

Shen Changqing stared at him for a moment, then smiled faintly, “Prince Yi, please take a seat!”

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist!”

The Great Yi Immortal Emperor didn’t refuse and immediately took a seat to the side.

Seeing him take his seat, Shen Changqing changed the subject: “I admit I have no connection to the Divine Sun Immortal Court. I wonder what your purpose is for visiting you this time?”

His words were free of politeness, but rather straightforward.

Goodbye, Great Yi Immortal Emperor.

Shen Changqing now felt no pressure at all.

Where once he had looked up to someone, he could now look him in the eye, even down on him.

Ninth on the Immortal Emperor Monument!

While this clearly indicated the other party’s considerable strength,

Shen Changqing saw that as little more than that.

If he so desired, suppressing him would be a piece of cake.

The only thing to fear is the Shenyang Immortal Court standing behind this person.

As a force once considered the overlord of the Shenyang Territory, the Shenyang Immortal Court’s strength and depth are not to be underestimated.

This ancient, top-tier power is no match for the likes of the Hidden Sword Sect.

To put it bluntly, the latter might not even be qualified to carry the former’s shoes.

Now that the Great Yi Immortal Emperor has suddenly arrived, Shen Changqing is secretly speculating on his motives, or perhaps, rather, the motives of the Shenyang Immortal Court behind him.

“In the battle in the Dongyuan Territory, you, Daoyou, joined forces with other immortals to slay the Venerable Jueming. Later, as an Immortal Emperor, you repelled two ancient Semi-Saints.

This feat spread throughout the 1,800 Immortal Territories of the Shenfeng Province. This event is a household name for me. When

His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor heard of it, he was effusive in his praise!”

The Great Yi Immortal Emperor smiled calmly, pausing briefly.

“Your Majesty has always valued talent, and a prodigy like you is even more so.

“

Shen Changqing’s expression shifted slightly, but then returned to normal.

“I’m truly unworthy of the praise from Emperor Shenyang!”

Seeing the other party’s impassive expression, Emperor Dayi changed the subject and continued.

“During the battle in the East Abyss Region, the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land and the two major immortal sects fell out. The strength of these ancient immortal sects cannot be underestimated.

With fellow Taoists at the helm, the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land’s strength is unquestionable, but when it comes to foundation, I’m afraid there’s still some gap compared to the two major immortal sects—”
