The Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger was indeed worthy of being a killing treasure. The restrictions inside were extremely complicated and just refining it to recognize him as its master had taken Jiang Changsheng half a year.
The red gourd could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and nourish the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger in the gourd, allowing it to contain a large amount of energy.
Jiang Changsheng had already prepared an incantation. Coupled with the Limitless Eyes of Heaven and Earth, he would use the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger to cross space and kill enemies from afar!
At that point, he had two gourds on his waist. The Purple Crystal Gourd sealed his enemies and the red gourd killed his enemies. It would not hurt if he placed them by his waist-the Divine Throne of the Great Dao Origin was not that small.
Mu Lingluo and Bai Qi did not ask much about the gourd. A few days later, they left the Purple Cloud Palace for the Lower Realm, leaving only Jiang Changsheng in the palace.
After playing with the red gourd for a while, Jiang Changsheng began to cultivate.
The appearance of the Soul Skeleton Empress indicated that the Blood Realm was also about to attack the Xuanhuang Great World. Even though it was a Martial Dao calamity, it could easily implicate the Kunlun Field. Jiang Changsheng could not sit back and wait for death.
It would be safer to break through as soon as possible.
The battle between the Dao Ancestor and the Soul Skeleton Empress did not reach the ears of everyone in the world. Only the Chang Clan knew about it, and then it spread throughout the Heavenly Court, shocking Immortal Gods. During the seemingly peaceful years, the Dao Ancestor silently resisted a calamity for everyone in the world and the Heavenly Court. Every Immortal God had a belligerent and arrogant heart, so they naturally could not bear to be taken care of all the time. For a moment, the atmosphere in the Heavenly Court’s training ground heated up.
The Chang Clan clearly had some understanding of the Soul Skeleton Empress.
They spread the legend to the Heavenly Court and then to the Mental Wander Realm, making the worshipers tense up.
The undead evil spirit that enjoyed mass killing had set its sights on the Kunlun Field, and the Martial Dao calamity was about to arrive!
An unprecedented pressure enveloped the Mental Wander Realm. Even though they trusted the Dao Ancestor, they were worried that something unexpected would happen. After all, the difference in strength between them and the Dao Ancestor was too great. Just because the Dao Ancestor was strong did not mean that the Kunlun Field was strong.
Far away in a mansion in the Xuanhuang Great World.
The Flame Lord opened his eyes and let out a breath of turbid air. He could not hide the excitement in his eyes.
“Even the legendary undead evil spirit has been subdued by the Dao Ancestor. How powerful is the Dao Ancestor? Fortunately, the Yan Clan has managed to ride on his coattails!”
The Flame Lord was generally well-informed like Chang Yueqian, and he had an extremely high status in the clan. Otherwise, he would not have obtained the ultimate technique of the Yan Clan, the Primordial Soul Technique.
Legend has it that once in a long period of time, undead evil spirits from the void would invade the Xuanhuang Great World and slaughter dozens of worlds every time. With the foundation of the Yan Clan, the Flame Lord also learned that even Dao Martial Spirit Realm experts had died in the hands of the undead evil spirits.
There were a total of three undead evil spirits. They were the Soul Skeleton Empress, the Greedy Chen Emperor, and the Hatred Emperor. These three names appeared in many myths and legends and represented extreme evil.
The Flame Lord got up and walked out of his room.
After the time for an incense stick to burn, he stepped into a hall. At that moment, the elders of the Yan Clan were discussing something. The Flame Lord sat on an empty chair and quietly listened.
“The God Punishment Army will not be able to eradicate the ancient sects for the time being. Sooner or later, the war will affect the Yan Clan. At this point, we can only participate in the crusade against the ancient sects and protect our territory.”
“Isn’t this courting death? I heard that the Divine Martial Realm has dispatched a Martial Lord, but even he could not do anything to the ancient sect.”
“These ancient sects have experts from across the ages. Even a Martial Lord could not do anything to them. Most importantly, they had mastered strange ancient techniques. Whenever the situation turns bad, they would just retreat, and the God Punishment Army can’t catch up to them.”
“It’s not a good ending to provoke those ancient sects. Do you honestly think the Divine Martial Realm will protect us?”
The elders spoke one after another, all of them anxious.
The Yan Clan’s clan leader seated at the head of the table looked very similar to the Flame Lord. They were father and son. The Flame Lord was young and had dozens of siblings. However, he had outstanding talent and had matured very quickly.
The Yan Clan’s clan leader suddenly looked at the Flame Lord and asked, “Xu’er, the catalyst of this Martial Dao calamity is related to the Dao Ancestor of the Heavenly Court in the Lower Realm. What are your thoughts?”
The moment he said that, everyone looked at the Flame Lord.
The Yan Clan did not manage to get an answer as to how the Flame Lord had returned. However, they did not dare to spread the news to the Divine Martial Realm for fear of bringing disaster to the Yan Clan. It was precisely because of this that the Flame Lord was grounded the moment he returned and could only live in the Yan Clan.
In the Xuanhuang Great World, the unity of aristocratic clans was above everything else. They even placed the interests of their clans above the Divine Martial Realm. Therefore, it was hard for traitors to appear.
The Flame Lord said, “I don’t think the Yan Clan should get involved in this matter. The ancient sects might not be the Martial Dao calamity. The real Martial Dao calamity is still brewing. The Yan Clan needs to preserve their strength as much as possible.”
He had been hesitating about how to pull his people into the Mental Wander
Realm and persuade them to believe in the Dao Ancestor.
After trying his best to find one, the solution found him instead.
The members of the aristocratic clans did not even believe in the Divine
Martial Realm, so how could they believe in the unknown Dao Ancestor? “Even though I did not encounter anyone from the Heavenly Court in the Lower
Realm, I have heard of the legends of the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court does not practice ancient techniques, but immortal techniques. That Dao Ancestor grasped many unimaginable abilities such as shrinking the world, resurrecting the dead, and changing heaven and earth. The Martial Dao is best at destruction, but have you ever heard of anyone having an ability?” The Flame Lord continued. He was about to start laying the groundwork.
The elders of the Yan Clan were deep in thought.
The Flame Lord narrowed his eyes and said, “If the Heavenly Court does not practice ancient techniques but another practice system and the Divine Martial
Realm cannot track them down, is the Heavenly Court stronger than the ancient sects? Do the so-called immortal techniques really exist?”
“How is that possible? There’s no such thing as immortal techniques. Shrinking the world with one’s hand is probably an illusion. Resurrecting the dead is probably for the almost dead, not for the actual dead. I can also change heaven and earth with one palm!” An old man shook his head and smiled.
His words were recognized by the others, and they began to tease him about it.
Just as the Flame Lord was about to speak, a Yan clansmen rushed in like the wind. He bowed and cupped his fists as he shouted, “Reporting to the clan leader and elders, something bad has happened. A number of ancient sect members have appeared in the nearby starry sky! It also seems like their numbers are increasing.”
As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked. The clan leader even stood up and disappeared.
The Flame Lord’s eyes brightened as he was secretly excited.
If the ancient sects could pressure the Dao Ancestor to take action, wouldn’t he be able to enter the hearts of the Yan Clan in an instant?
He immediately returned and prepared to enter the Mental Wander Realm to ask for the Dao Ancestor’s instruction.
Mental Wander Realm, 33 Layered Heavens, in front of Purple Cloud Palace.
The Flame Lord knelt in front of the gate with his forehead pressed against the ground, feeling perturbed.
His attitude was much humbler than before. It was because he had yet to complete his mission, but he had already made a request. It made him uneasy. He was afraid that the Dao Ancestor would be disappointed in him. At the same time, he was afraid that the Dao Ancestor would not be able to fulfill his request.
“The Yan Clan has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with the Heavenly Court or the Kunlun Field, and you are not from the Heavenly Court.”
The Dao Ancestor’s voice sounded from the Purple Cloud Palace, causing the Flame Lord’s heart to sink to the bottom of the cliff. However, the subsequent words surprised him.
“However, since the Yan Clan is getting attacked by anomalies, I can lend a helping hand. If the Yan Clan cannot defeat the ancient sects, call out to me in your heart. If you are sincere, it will work. Remember, it must be at a critical juncture.”
The Dao Ancestor’s tone was indifferent without any emotion.
The Flame Lord was overjoyed and immediately thanked Dao Ancestor.
After the Dao Ancestor gave no further instructions, he left respectfully.
In reality.
Jiang Changsheng, who was sitting on the Divine Throne of the Great Dao Origin, opened his eyes and sensed the Flame Lord’s reincarnation mark to determine the distance.
It was a good opportunity to try out the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger!
If he were to use the Da Yi World Piercing Arrow, it might be blocked by the Divine Martial Realm. However, the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger was a killing treasure, and its grade was higher than the Sun Shooting Divine Bow. Its speed was also exceptional, and even if he failed, he could recall his magical treasure.
As Jiang Changsheng’s cultivation state was interrupted by the Flame Lord, he could not help but look at the human world.
It had been 53 years since the start of the Inherited Heaven Era, and Heavenly Jing was still on the road to domination. The Mountain Gods and Land Gods scattered all over the world had already become accustomed to their priesthood, and the common people had also begun to accept the existence of Immortal Gods. However, not everyone believed in the Immortal Dao, and more people felt that the Immortal Gods were powerful martial artists.
Looking at the masses in the Kunlun Field, Jiang Changsheng thought of his own Dao World.
Although a sentient creature was born previously, the Dao World did not usher in a great outbreak of life and was still silent. However, the space of the Dao World was expanding in a disorderly manner. At present, the Dao World was still just a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was stored, allowing his magic power to be endless.
While Jiang Changsheng was observing the two worlds, the Flame Lord, who was far away in the Xuanhuang Great World, received a summon from the clan leader.
This time, it was not in the clan leader’s hall, but in the Yan Clan’s Martial Impartation Hall. The hall was dazzling and magnificent. When the Flame Lord arrived, there were already thousands of experts from the Yan Clan waiting, and there was an endless stream of people coming.
The Flame Lord walked to his position and listened quietly.
“The First Elder has started a war with the evil spirits of the ancient sects, but those evil spirits are too strong.”
“Are the ancient sects really that powerful? Could it be that the ancient expert who fought against the Martial Lord has arrived?”
“How is that possible? If that ancient expert had really arrived, we would have been flattened. I heard that the evil spirit claimed to be the branch leader of an ancient sect.”
“A branch leader is that powerful?”
“What are you afraid of? The Yan Clan is never afraid of any powerful enemy!” The Flame Lord listened and frowned.
The enemy’s situation was stronger than he had imagined. How long had it been? In less than half a day, the Yan Clan had suffered a defeat. Once the elders who went out to fight retreated, the Yan Clan would be in trouble.
He was hesitating if he should summon the Dao Ancestor right now. After all, the Dao Ancestor was in the Endless Void. Even though he had taken a long time to return from the edge of the Xuanhuang Great World, he had also used the teleportation formations of various star areas during the process.
However, the Dao Ancestor said that it must be a critical moment…
If the Dao Ancestor came and the ancient sects retreated, it would be awkward..
Just as the elites of the Yan Clan were discussing, a figure flew over from the horizon and quickly flew into the hall. Everyone looked over and saw an old man landing on the ground. He staggered two steps forward and fell to the ground. He was covered in blood and looked extremely sorry.
He raised his right hand with great difficulty and reached out to the clan leader seated at the head of the table. His voice trembled as he said, “Clan leader… we can’t fight… we can’t fight!”
As soon as he said that, the hall was in an uproar!
The Great Elder had lost, and he even said such words!
The clan leader’s expression was incomparably ugly. He stood up and was about to speak when his gaze suddenly looked outside the hall. Everyone turned their heads, including the Flame Lord.
A large black hole was torn open in the sky outside the hall. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. It was a horrifying scene..
