Chapter 3419 The Same Direction

“A hundred years of trials, Danfeng was founded only a few hundred thousand years ago, yet its foundation is incredibly strong!”

Chu Junhe shook his head slightly upon hearing this news.

Zhanfeng has also made considerable progress in recent years.

You know,

Zhanfeng was originally the strongest of the nine peaks.

Although it later suffered a setback and its strength declined, it still consistently held a top-three position.

Later,

Chu Junhe took over Zhanfeng, and with the emergence of Muchen, the innate Thunder God Body, Zhanfeng’s strength surged.

Comparing Zhanfeng to its past

, the current Zhanfeng is actually even stronger.

Back then, although Zhanfeng was the strongest of the nine peaks, it only had Canghua, a peak Ancient Immortal, at its helm.

But now, Zhanfeng boasts   more than one peak

Ancient Immortal warrior .   It’s just that Danfeng has risen to prominence. While primarily focused on alchemy, its strength surpasses the other peaks, maintaining its position as the leader.   As for Zhanfeng, it’s currently in second place.   Even so,   Zhanfeng’s resources are limited.   After all, Zhanfeng’s lineage boasts numerous cultivators, making training difficult. Furthermore, Mu Chen, possessing the innate Thunder God Body, is a major consumer of cultivation resources.   Therefore,   Zhanfeng’s remaining resources are naturally limited.   It’s impossible to emulate Danfeng and simply hold a so-called Centennial Trial to indirectly increase each disciple’s cultivation resources.   This is true for Zhanfeng,   and the same is true for the other peaks.   Therefore,   regarding this news,   the peak masters are left with nothing but envy.   Danfeng’s vast resources are undoubtedly unmatched by the other peaks.   If Danfeng were weaker, they might be able to find ways to wrest some cultivation resources from Danfeng.   However,   Danfeng is not only wealthy, but also a formidable force.   While the Danfeng peak master may not have fought many battles, his record is undeniable. His current title as the number one among the nine peaks is well-earned.   Only Yang Daoxu shook his head slightly upon hearing this news.   ”Danfeng is being a bit overconfident!”   Despite this,   Yang Daoxu didn’t take it too seriously.   Since Danfeng had the right to be so high-profile, then so be it.   Besides,   Danfeng was also part of the Xuantian Dao Sect, so any increase in Danfeng’s strength would only benefit the Xuantian Dao Sect.   With this in mind,   Yang Daoxu closed his eyes and began to cultivate.   …   The Hundred Years of Trial   had completely set off a cultivation frenzy within Danfeng.   Upon hearing the news, many cultivators from the inner and outer sects were filled with envy.   They longed to join Danfeng immediately and compete for the cultivation resources.   But there was no other way.   Danfeng wasn’t accessible to anyone,   so   the other cultivators could only dream.   Shen Changqing observed the movements within the sect, but he didn’t take it too seriously.   He   was no different now than before.   However, news regularly trickled in from the Xuantian Dao Mirror, mostly about other worlds affiliated with the sect being invaded by other forces and requesting support from the sect’s experts.   Such incidents were not uncommon.   The Xuantian Dao Sect held immense prestige within the mid-level immortal realms, but that was limited to the Divine Heaven Realm, which remained unaffected.   Immortal realms like the Jade Sky Realm and the Thousand Demon Realm, which are dependent on the Xuantian Dao Sect, are constantly at war.   This is already the case with other immortal realms.   The remaining worlds, large and small, that rely on the Xuantian Dao Sect face even more severe challenges.   The Xuantian Dao Sect is powerful,   directly or indirectly dependent on numerous worlds.   Although these worlds rely on the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm and are not located within the Divine Wind State, they are also targets of other forces. As   the state continues to experience catastrophes,   war will naturally continue.   Some of these worlds contain considerable cultivation resources, so how could other forces ignore them?   They wouldn’t dare attack the Divine Heaven Realm directly.   However, if they were to attack other worlds covertly, the situation would be different.   Even the Xuantian Dao Sect, with its might, would find it difficult to maintain control.   Therefore,   during this period,   the ancient immortals of many sects were dispatched to various worlds to defend them.   For this reason, although Shen Changqing stayed at Danfeng, he left a trace of power in each of his disciples, ready to protect them in critical moments.   …   Time slipped by quietly.   In the blink of an eye.   A year passed.   A piece of news reached Shen Changqing.   ”The Jueqing Immortal Sect has been destroyed!”   His expression shifted slightly as he read the news from the Demon God Daojian.   The Jueqing Immortal Sect had been destroyed.   To be honest,   Shen Changqing was a little surprised.   But upon learning the reason for the Jueqing Immortal Sect’s demise, he was quickly relieved.   The sect’s demise was linked to the Ancient Supreme Being.   After slaughtering countless immortal realms, the Ancient Supreme Being ultimately set his sights on the Cuiwei Realm.   Faced with such a being, the Cuiwei Realm was undoubtedly vulnerable.   Even though the Jueqing Immortal Sect was an ancient sect, and Venerable Jueqing was a Five Tribulations Half-Saint, their power was unparalleled in this era, it meant nothing.   With the Ancient Supreme Being’s presence, the Jueqing Immortal Sect’s eons of heritage was shattered in an instant.   Venerable Jueqing, Yang Xuan, perished in battle.   Cuiwei Realm was reduced to a desolate wasteland.   This news shook many immortal realms.

Regardless, the demise of an ancient immortal sect inevitably had repercussions.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago,

the three major immortal sects were the pinnacle of the six hundred high-level immortal realms, rivaled only by the Changsheng Divine Sect and the Mingguang Holy Land.

But now,

the once dominant forces had been reduced to ashes in a flash.

Even such splendor seemed vulnerable in the face of a power of a higher order.

“With the destruction of the Jueqing Immortal Sect, only the Hidden Sword Sect remains!”

A cold glint flashed in Shen Changqing’s eyes.

He always believed in revenge.

Although Jiang Linyuan had initially saved the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, they later joined forces to kill Venerable Jueming, effectively settling their grudge.

Later, Jiang Linyuan’s covert ambush and the deliberate spread of news of the Tailuo Immortal Mine made the Heavenly Demon Holy Land a target of public criticism.   Shen Changqing would never forget

this . As the   saying goes, revenge is the way to go.   Revenge is the way to go!   If given the chance, Shen Changqing would certainly settle accounts with the Hidden Sword Sect.   However, it was undeniable that Jiang Linyuan was indeed formidable.   An ancient Semi-Saint,   he had survived five episodes of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.   With his current strength, it was impossible for him to slay Jiang Linyuan.   Regardless, he was still only at the Immortal Emperor level.   Even with his profound background, being able to rival a Semi-Saint at the Immortal Emperor level was already a feat, but to contend with a Five Tribulations Semi-Saint was a far cry.   For both being immortal Semi-Saints,   the difference between one tribulation and five was enormous.   Therefore,   Shen Changqing temporarily suppressed his thoughts of revenge   . The Great Tribulation was approaching.   Once the first tribulation arrived, he would seize the opportunity to achieve immortality and break through to the Semi-Saint realm.   At that point, it wouldn’t be too late to settle accounts with the Hidden Sword Sect on his own.   Of course, if   the Hidden Sword Sect could be annihilated by that ancient Supreme Being   before then , that would be even better.   Revenge didn’t necessarily require personal action.   In Shen Changqing’s view, as long as his enemies were destroyed, that was enough.   The process wasn’t important; the outcome was what truly mattered.   ”With the Jueqing Immortal Sect destroyed, I’m sure the Cangfeng Sword Sect will be restless too. Cuiwei Domain is a lesson learned. Who can guarantee that Guzhou Domain won’t become the next Cuiwei Domain?”   Shen Changqing sneered inwardly, then stopped paying attention to the matter.   Indeed,   just as Shen Changqing had imagined,   the news of Cuiwei Domain’s demise, along with the Jueqing Immortal Sect’s, spread, and a cloud of gloom descended upon   the Cangfeng Sword Sect. Inside the sect’s main hall   , the once high-spirited ancient semi-saint now wore a gloomy expression, and even a fleeting glint of fear could be seen in his eyes.   Every time he thought of Tailuo Daojun, Jiang Linyuan couldn’t help but feel a surge of fear.   The battle in Tianxing Domain   cast a shadow over his heart.   That battle   had seen the bloodshed of many immortals.   Jiang Linyuan had narrowly escaped, but it had come at a heavy price.   His injuries hadn’t fully recovered, and the heavy damage sustained in the battle in the Tianxing Domain had only exacerbated them.   If it weren’t for the ancient heritage left by the Hidden Sword Sect, Jiang Linyuan would have collapsed from his Dao injuries and died.   Even so,   Jiang Linyuan’s strength had been severely diminished.   His power was less than 30% of his peak strength.   Now, with the news of the Jueqing Immortal Sect’s demise, he felt an inexplicable fear.   However, in front of the numerous sect elders, Jiang Linyuan didn’t show it, suppressing his emotions as much as possible and keeping his voice as calm as possible.   ”   With the destruction of the Cuiwei Domain, which immortal realm will the Ancient Supreme One target next?”   An elder commented, “Although his attacks appear to be unpredictable, if we examine the locations of the various immortal realms, we can see that he’s moving in a single direction.   From the Tianxing Domain first, then the other immortal realms, to the Cuiwei Domain later, and so on, it all forms a straight line.   ”   The other party crushed a jade talisman, and a map of a fairyland appeared in the void of the hall. Numerous star-like points of light appeared within, each representing a fairyland.   The elder then pointed again, and dozens of points of light from fairylands turned blood-red, forming a straight line within the map.   ”This is the person’s trajectory. If nothing unexpected happens, the fairyland he ultimately passes through should avoid the Ancient State!”   As the elder spoke, he waved his finger again, and several fairylands once again turned blood-red.   He pointed emphatically at one of the blood-red points of light.   That   was where the Ancient State was located.   Everyone fell silent upon seeing this scene.   Theoretically,   if the Ancient Supreme did not make any changes, the Ancient State should not be affected.   But—   who could guarantee such a thing?   If the other party, on a whim, strayed even slightly, the Ancient State would suffer the same fate as the Cuiwei Realm.   And their Cangfeng Sword Sect’s fate would likely be no better than that of the Jueqing Immortal Sect.   Thinking of this,   everyone felt pressured.
