Chapter 431: Broken Bronze Sword, Scroll and Copper Mirror Fragment
The Fangtian Formless Sect was one of the 16 strongest Immortal sects in Qianhong Heaven. Legend had it that it was established 300,000 years ago, and the Ancestral Master was a Dao Lord.
Compared to those sects that once were established by Lord of the Heavens powerhouses, this foundation could only be considered ordinary. It was not weak, but it was definitely not strong.
Such an inheritance could actually last for 300,000 years and become the top Immortal sect of Qianhong Heaven step by step. One could imagine the difficulties it had experienced.
The current Sect Master, Qiu Bai, could be said to be a peerless genius. She was called a fairy when he was young. Later on, when she was just 13,000 years old, she had already reached the Dao Body realm and became a top expert in Qianhong Heaven.
In the opinion of many people, this was most likely the revival of the Fangtian Formless Sect. She would lead the Fangtian Formless Sect to another level.
Even Qiu Bai herself thought so.
In fact, in the past thousand years or so, the Fangtian Formless Sect had indeed become better and better.
From the ordinary servant disciples to the heads of the various departments and many elders, they were all filled with confidence in the future of the sect and Qiu Bai.
However, this beautiful situation came to an abrupt end a few years ago. A mysterious existence had actually used an unbelievable method to modify the Heavenly Rules. He said that there was no need to open the Door of Heaven to attack the Heaven Gate.
To those who did not know what it meant to transcend the Heaven Gate, this was a change that they did not understand.
However, to the Fangtian Formless Sect, which had a long history and knew what this change meant, it was no different from a bolt out of the blue.
After the Heaven Realm disappeared, the Door of Heaven was closed, and countless experts in the world could no longer break through to the Heaven Gate realm.
Therefore, many experts either sealed themselves or slept for eternity, waiting for the future.
In the past, many experts in Qianhong Heaven also did this.
It was precisely because of this that the new sects of the Qianhong Heaven had a chance to develop, which was why the current situation of the Qianhong Heaven was filled with sects.
Although the Fangtian Formless Sect was established 300,000 years ago, it was actually developed during this free period.
Now that the Heavenly Rules were changed and the restrictions on breaking through the Heaven Gate were removed.
Those experts who had sealed themselves and fallen into a deep sleep would definitely revive.
At that time, the myriad worlds would welcome a huge reshuffle.
There was no doubt about that.
However, no one expected the shuffle to happen so quickly.
Among the 16 Immortal Sects, four of them did not have a good relationship with the Fangtian Formless Sect. Three of them had Patriarchs at the Ninth Realm of the Immortal World revived and were about to attack the Heaven Gate.
The three Ninth Realm experts of the Immortal World treated the Fangtian Formless Sect as a fat sheep and wanted Qiu Bai to hand over all their cultivation resources to help them break through the Heaven Gate.
This was an obvious threat.
With the strength of the Fangtian Formless Sect, they were stronger than those three sects and could suppress them in many aspects. However, now that the other party had experts at the Ninth Realm of the Immortal World, the Fangtian Formless Sect no longer had the ability to resist.
If she completely disobeyed the will of those three Ninth Realm experts, the sect might even be in danger of being destroyed.
“Can we really only walk the path of handing over our cultivation resources?” Qiu Bai’s expression was sorrowful as he looked at the Ancestral Masters’ memorial tablets and took a deep breath.
“It would be fine if they really only wanted natural treasures, but they actually wanted to snatch away the treasures left behind by our ancestors. This is the foundation of our Fangtian Formless Sect. This is digging us up by our roots!
“I really don’t know what to do…”
The sect master was a mature woman who looked to be about 30 years old. She was beautiful and had moving facial features. Usually, her face was filled with dignity. This was the prestige of a sect.
But now that she was kneeling in front of the Ancestral Masters’ memorial tablets, she actually looked a little weak.
Under Qiu Bai’s narration, the Ancestral tablets actually responded. Three of the tablets placed at the top emitted a faint light and condensed into three words of information in front of her.
“If a Sage King attacks, you can take out the broken bronze sword from the sect’s treasure vault. That’s a treasure left behind from the Heaven Realm. It can kill a Sage King. You still have three chances to use it.”
“If a Lord of the Heavens attacks, you can take out the Runeless Dao Painting from the treasure vault. It has been signed by Zhou Juntian. This painting contains a strange power and can kill all living beings below the Heaven Gate realm.”
“If an expert who has stepped into the Heaven Gate realm attacks, immediately take out the broken bronze mirror from the sect’s treasure vault and gather the power of the entire sect to activate it. You can teleport through the void and bring the entire sect out of the Qianhong Heavens to hide for 30,000 years.”
Qiu Bai’s eyes lit up as she hurriedly shouted, “Ancestral Masters, Ancestral Masters, are you still here?!”
She had always thought that her Ancestral Masters had long passed away. This time, she came to confide in them just to relieve the pressure in her heart. She did not expect to really receive a response.
Could it be that these three Ancestral Masters were still alive?
However, no matter how Qiu Bai shouted, there was no other response. The light on the three memorial tablets gradually dissipated, as if they had never existed.
A moment later, she calmed down. No matter what, after receiving the Ancestral Masters’ reminder, the sect was finally saved.
Qiu Bai’s gaze became calm. Then, she kowtowed to the Ancestral Masters’ shrine extremely respectfully. “Thank you for your guidance, Ancestral Masters. You saved the sect at a time of desperation.”
Then, she hurriedly left the Ancestral Hall and headed to the sect’s treasure vault to find the three treasures mentioned in the Ancestral Master’s message.
As the Fangtian Formless Sect had existed for a long time, and the things stored in the sect’s treasure vault could be said to be endless, no one could understand every single thing inside.
Especially the three treasures in the message
One was a broken bronze sword without divine light, one was a painting without any Dao runes, and the other was a broken bronze mirror without any charm.
If not for the fact that they were stored in the sect’s treasure vault, they might have been thrown away elsewhere.
These items could not be more ordinary.
Actually, Qiu Bai herself was also very puzzled. Why didn’t they inform the previous Sect Masters about this life-saving treasure and even used this method to send a message?
Perhaps the Ancestral Masters had their own plans.
….
Thousand Mountains Immortal Palace.
This was one of the current 16 Immortal Sects and also one of the oldest sects in Qianhong Heaven.
Legend had it that when the Heaven Realm was at its peak, the Thousand Mountains Immortal Palace already existed. Moreover, it was inextricably linked to the strongest inheritance in the Heaven Realm and they had even become the ruler of the Thousand Mountains Heaven.
However, as the Heaven Realm disappeared and many experts fell asleep, along with the rise of many new sects, the status of the Thousand Mountains Immortal Palace in Qianhong Heaven plummeted.
Because of this, the Thousand Mountains Immortal Palace had a grudge against many new sects.
Among them, they had the greatest hatred towards the Fangtian Formless Sect.
Therefore, after their Ancestral Master woke up, the first thing the current Lord of the Thousand Mountains Immortal Palace did was to incite his Ancestral Master to destroy the Fangtian Formless Sect.
Coincidentally, the other two Immortal sects that had conflicts with the Fangtian Formless Sect also had the same intention. They also had formidable Ancestral Masters who had revived.
Hence, three Ninth Realm experts of the Immortal World gathered in the Thousand Mountains Immortal Palace to discuss how to divide the Fangtian Formless Sect.
That’s right, they were already dividing it up.
They were not discussing how to destroy it.
To these three Ninth Realm experts of the Immortal World, the destruction of the Fangtian Formless Sect was already a destined outcome. It was impossible for there to be any turning point.
How could a sect whose strongest expert was only a Dao Lord resist three Ninth Realm existences?
It was impossible.
The only thing they had to pay attention to was that the founder of the Fangtian Formless Sect was once on good terms with someone called Zhou Juntian.
This was originally accidentally mentioned by the current Lord of the Thousand Mountains Immortal Palace when he introduced the Fangtian Formless Sect. He did not expect it to cause the three Ninth Realm experts to be afraid.
According to these three Ninth Realm experts, Zhou Juntian had already walked the myriad worlds since the era of the Heaven Realm.
He was a big shot from the Heaven Realm and his identity was extremely mysterious. Even experts who had stepped into the Heaven Gate did not dare to rashly provoke Zhou Juntian.
This identity was completely different from the Zhou Juntian that the current Lord of the Thousand Mountains Immortal Palace knew. He had also mentioned the identity of Zhou Juntian that he knew, which was the last Ascender before the Purple Sun Heaven was destroyed, as well as information about him being the disciple of Lord of the Heavens Ziyang.
However, this still failed to eliminate the fear of the three Ninth Realm experts’ hearts. In the end, they decided to give the Fangtian Formless Sect three days to test the waters and did not directly mention the destruction of the sect.
If there was a problem with the final results, they would immediately apologize and ease the relationship.
If there was no problem, they would destroy the Fangtian Formless Sect.
Now, three days have passed.
Ancestral Master Gong Lai of the Thousand Mountains Immortal Palace smiled. He stroked his white beard and nodded with a smile. “The Fangtian Formless Sect hasn’t done anything yet. Looks like Zhou Juntian didn’t leave any contingencies behind.”
Sitting at the side was a Ninth Realm expert, Tang Wenzheng. He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties. When he heard this, he smiled and said, “It makes sense. The Heaven Realm has disappeared for so long and the Heavenly Rules have been changed. How could Zhou Juntian still be alive now?”
“From the looks of it, the Fangtian Formless Sect can be destroyed!” Another Ninth Realm expert, Qian Yuan, nodded and said, “However, we still have to put in some effort on the surface. It won’t be too late for us to overturn our palms after that little girl surnamed Qiu takes out all her resources.”
“Hahaha, that’s right.” Gong Lai laughed loudly. “Let’s go to the Fangtian Formless Sect to take a look!”
….
Void exploration, spatial division. Under the influence of Cui Heng’s Dharmic powers, the barrier between the Heavenly Domain and the normal universe was easily pierced through like ordinary fog.
It did not even have the slightest obstruction effect.
As Cui Heng had concealed his and Pei Qingshu’s auras, their arrival did not even trigger the Heavenly Dao of this Heavenly Domain. They entered silently.
The place where the two of them appeared was a desolate mountain range. There was no one within a radius of 10,000 kilometers.
Pei Qingshu followed Cui Heng. Looking at the vast land and towering mountains taller than 100,000 feet, he could not help but exclaim, “Master, is this the Heavenly Domain? It’s actually so big!”
“Heh, if it’s not big, the entire Heavenly Domain will be torn down if the mighty figures fight a few times.” Cui Heng chuckled and said, “Let’s go. Follow me to the Fangtian Formless Sect.”
