Chapter 303: Leaving the Qi Lian Mountain Range, The Four Top Forces of the Ancient Immortal City
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Amidst extremely terrified and miserable screams, the Heavenly Human Five Declines had already descended.
This thin, hawk-nosed man, a core disciple of the Ancient Immortal Sect, instantly turned into ashes and dissipated, completely turning to ashes.
“Heavenly Human Five Declines…”
“This… this…”
“Run!”
The other two core disciples of the Ancient Immortal Sect were already incomparably afraid. They had never seen such a method. It was too terrifying.
To any immortal, even an Immortal King of the Upper World was extremely afraid of the Heavenly Human Five Declines. Even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals and even Immortal Kings of the Upper World would basically be killed the moment the Heavenly Human Five Declines descended.
Now, they had actually personally witnessed such a terrifying technique and divine power that could actually cut off the top three flowers and even summon the Heavenly Human Five Declines. They were already frightened out of their wits, and their faces were pale with fear.
“Dao Slaying Technique.”
Qi Ming’s gaze was cold. With a wave of his right hand, his sword finger slashed out. An invisible force condensed into a crescent-shaped invisible sword qi that directly cut off the top three flowers of the two core disciples of the Ancient Immortal Sect.
A miserable cry sounded.
Their cultivation levels had fallen, and they had lost their strength and Dharmic powers. They had fallen to the Mahayana realm, and Qi Ming had used the Great Calamity Technique to wear down their good fortune.
The Heavenly Human Five Declines descended again.
In an instant, the two core disciples of the Ancient Immortal Sect turned into ashes that filled the sky as they begged for mercy in fear. They died completely and almost nothing was left.
“You really sought death.” Qi Ming said coldly.
With a thought, Qi Ming used his deduction divine power to obtain the information of the three core disciples of the Ancient Immortal Sect. Then, he used the divine power technique of Physical Transmutation to change his appearance and aura and transformed into the thin hawk-nosed man.
The thin hawk-nosed man was called: Han Liping.
Immediately after, Qi Ming used Han Liping’s identity to get out of the Qi Lian Mountain Range. He was not suspected and left the range of the mountain range. He found a quiet place and used the divine power of Shifting Stars to hide his original appearance.
Qi Ming heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed, “It’s about time.”
He quickly returned to the Ancient Immortal City and returned to his original small courtyard.
“Welcome back, Master.”
“Congratulations, Master. Your cultivation level has increased greatly.”
“…”
In the courtyard, the servants praised.
Qi Ming nodded slightly as a response.
Time passed.
Ten days later.
Ding!
“Congratulations, host. You have been AFK Farming in the early-stage Immortal Realm game dungeon: Immortal Demon Battlefield for ten days. You have successfully cleared it once. You have obtained: Shu Mountain’s True Sword Immortal Inheritance, 1 trillion medium-grade immortal crystals.”
A notification appeared.
Item: Shu Mountain True Sword Immortal Inheritance.
Introduction: This is an inheritance item from the early-stage Immortal Realm game dungeon: Immortal Demon Battlefield. Using this inheritance item can increase the grade of a suitable immortal pet.
Qi Ming checked the corresponding information.
“Not bad.” He nodded slightly. With a wave of his right hand, a stream of light flew out. It was Huo Changqing. He bowed respectfully to Qi Ming.
“Huo Changqing.” Qi Ming handed the Shu Mountain True Sword Immortal Inheritance to Huo Changqing and said, “This is for you.”
“Thank you, Master.” Huo Changqing accepted it respectfully.
The Shu Mountain True Sword Immortal Inheritance was a sword-shaped jade slip that fused into Huo Changqing’s body. Symbols flickered as sword qi circulated, and his aura was magnificent.
“Go back to the spirit pet slot and grow.”
A white light flashed in front of him.
Huo Changqing disappeared into thin air.
“I’ll charge 100 billion low-grade immortal crystals.”
Qi Ming said, “Let Huo Changqing grow under AFK Farming.”
Ding!
“Ordinary Immortal Pet: Shu Mountain Sword Immortal is growing under the enhancement of 1 trillion times. Ordinary Immortal Pet: Shu Mountain Sword Immortal is fusing and absorbing the Shu Mountain True Sword Immortal Inheritance. Please wait patiently…”
A notification appeared.
A day later.
Ding!
“Ordinary Immortal Pet: Shu Mountain Sword Immortal has grown for a day under the enhancement of 1 trillion times. He has successfully fused with the Shu Mountain True Sword Immortal Inheritance and become an ordinary Immortal Pet: Shu Mountain True Sword Immortal. His growth and potential have increased.”
A notification appeared.
Ordinary Immortal Pet: Shu Mountain True Sword Immortal.
Name: Huo Changqing.
Cultivation: Late-stage Immortal.
Cultivation Type: Laws.
Introduction: Originally, it was only a spirit pet produced by the game dungeon: Shu Mountain Ancient Path: Shu Mountain Disciple. After a series of growth, it broke through the limit step by step. Now, it has already grown into an ordinary immortal pet: Shu Mountain True Sword Immortal. It has grasped the Sword Dao Laws, the Taiji Laws, the Yin-Yang Laws, and can be raised to the late-stage Perfected Immortal realm.
Qi Ming checked the information of Huo Changqing’s growth.
“Not bad.”
Qi Ming nodded slightly, “Although it’s only an ordinary immortal pet, it’s not bad to be able to advance to the late-stage Perfected Immortal realm now. It can still continue to advance in the future.”
The scene changed.
In the Qi Lian Mountain Range.
In the territory of the Ancient Immortal City.
The Ancient Immortal Sect was the strongest faction. It had three ancestors at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm guarding it and stood tall in the First Upper World: the Nine Provinces Domain for tens of thousands of years.
Apart from the Ancient Immortal Sect, there were also three first-rate factions.
They were: Silver-Winged Yaksha Race, Purple Mansion Sect, and Feng Clan.
The Silver-Winged Yaksha Race was a first-rate race that was a descendant of the Upper World. They grasped powerful methods and could use a silver talisman to obliterate their enemies.
The Feng Clan was a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Clan in the territory of the Ancient Immortal City. It was established by a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal: Feng Tianxiu, and its strength and influence were extremely formidable.
The Purple Mansion Sect was a first-rate sect. In the Purple Mansion Sect, they grasped a formidable divine power method and were able to establish a Purple Mansion between their brows and erupt with formidable might.
Be it the Silver-Winged Yaksha Race, the Purple Mansion Sect, or the Feng Clan, they only had a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal guarding them and could not compare to the Ancient Immortal Sect.
If the three factions joined forces, they could resist the Ancient Immortal Sect.
Apart from these four factions, there were many second-rate factions with Golden Immortals presiding over them. There were many of them, and most of them were attached to the Ancient Immortal Sect, the Silver-Winged Yaksha Race, the Purple Mansion Sect, and the Feng Clan as subsidiary forces.
There were countless third-rate and inferior factions.
“It’s been more than ten days. There’s no news.”
In a place in the Qi Lian Mountain Range, the Golden Immortal Elder of the Ancient Immortal Sect, Gu Zong, frowned. He looked at the Qi Lian Mountain Range and calculated with his fingers, but he could not deduce anything. There was only a dense fog. He even suffered the backlash of the heavenly secrets when he deduced them, but it was not a big deal. He easily endured it.
“This phenomenon appeared without any warning. Moreover, the exact location is locked in the Qi Lian Mountain Range. After more than ten days, any living being who entered the mountain range had been carefully interrogated.”
A Golden Immortal elder of the Silver-Winged Yaksha Race said in a deep voice, “After careful investigation from various aspects, we even checked the entire Qi Lian Mountain Range.”
“Now we can confirm that the appearance of the phenomenon this time is not because a treasure has appeared. The greatest possibility is that a Dao Cultivator has appeared in our Ancient Immortal City.”
“Dao Cultivator!”
The Golden Immortal elder of the Feng Clan had a deep gaze. He clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the Qi Lian Mountain Range. He slowly said, “It’s been a long, long time since I’ve heard of it.”
“If I remember correctly, the last time a Dao Cultivator appeared in the Nine Provinces Domain was during the last epoch.”
The Golden Immortal Elder of the Purple Mansion Sect was silent for a moment before slowly nodding, “This is indeed the matter of the last epoch.”
Epoch.
It was a type of time unit.
In the lower realm, the time unit began with years.
One year, hundred year, thousand years, Meeting, Meeting Origin, Calamity.
In the Upper World, these terms were used too.
Epoch was above Calamity.
An epoch was equivalent to a trillion years.
In the entire Nine Provinces Domain, it was only in the last epoch, which was a trillion years ago, that a Dao Cultivator had appeared.
After that Dao Cultivator appeared, he reformed the order of the Nine Provinces Domain and established the Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty. Now, the Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty had already stood in the Nine Provinces Domain for a trillion years.
The Dao Cultivator who had appeared an epoch ago had long left the Nine Provinces Domain and had long surpassed the Immortal realm.
That was why the four first-rate powers of the Ancient Immortal City attached such importance to it. If the appearance of a Dao Cultivator was true, then perhaps this would change the situation of the entire Nine Provinces Domain.
“Elder Gu Zong.”
The Silver-Winged Yaksha elder spoke to the Golden Immortal elder of the Ancient Immortal Sect, “I heard that three of your Ancient Immortal Sect’s core disciples have disappeared?”
Gu Zong nodded, “You found out about this so quickly?”
The Silver-Winged Race’s elder said, “I’m thinking that since they’re core disciples of the Ancient Immortal Sect. In the entire territory of the Ancient Immortal City, there are probably not many who dare to kill the core disciples of the Ancient Immortal Sect.”
“Hehe.” The Golden Immortal Elder of the Purple Mansion Sect sneered.
“That’s true.” The Golden Immortal Elder of the Feng Clan said, “Your Ancient Immortal Sect is looking down on us more and more. The immortal disciples under you are also becoming more and more arrogant.”
“I’m also very puzzled about this.” The Ancient Sect pondered for a moment, “The three core disciples mysteriously disappeared. The soul lamps in the sect have already been extinguished. Therefore, they must have been killed and their souls dissipated.”
“After investigating for a few days, there was no development. We did not confirm who the murderer was. In fact, the heavenly secrets were tampered with.”
“What I didn’t expect was that a disciple told me that he saw with his own eyes that ‘Han Liping’ had left the Qi Lian Mountain Range for a period of time. However, according to the time that disciple said, ‘Han Liping’ should be dead already. It’s impossible for him to appear.”
“Could it be…”
Suddenly, a thought flashed in Gu Zong’s mind as he thought of a possibility.
“Oh no!”
The other three Golden Immortals also jolted.. They thought it through almost at the same time, “The other party might have killed your Ancient Immortal Sect’s core disciples. Then, he must have disguised himself as ‘Han Liping’ and left the Qi Lian Mountain Range!!”
