Chapter 132: Chapter 127: The Immortal Slaying Sword That Obliterates Ten Thousand Spirits

["Boom!"

Accompanied by a tremendous roar, the seawater suddenly surged high, waves crashing fiercely.

The Three Saints closed their eyes tightly, muttering incantations, as golden scriptures continuously fell into the abyssal Sea Eye.] 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

[Witnessing this scene, Nether Heaven ceased her battle with the Four Heavens simultaneously, and sighed softly. Then, her true form transformed into delicate glimmers, dissipating.]

[The Three Saints sealed the Ancestral Dragon at the cost of two Spiritual Treasures.

However, the Ancestral Dragon continued to fiercely resist in the depths, its immense power forcing the Three Saints to continually invest their Spiritual Thoughts to suppress its violent strength.]

["Blue Radiance Heaven," "Ten Thousand Treasures Heaven," "Xuanling Heaven," and the "Profound Yellow Celestial Venerable" had duties to perform and couldn’t linger in the mortal realm, returning to the heavens immediately after the Ancestral Dragon was suppressed.]

[Afterward, the sea became even more turbulent, rising ten thousand feet in a single day, submerging seventy percent of the Divine Land in a short period.]

[The Great Divine Power Users among the Human Race, seeing the devastation of the flood, acted to suppress it. They set up seals everywhere, attempting to confine the Ancestral Dragon’s power within certain boundaries.]

[These seals, in the face of the Ancestral Dragon’s rampant power, were like thin paper, quickly being shattered.]

[Those Dragon Race great powers and divines who were previously sealed by the "Profound Yellow Celestial Venerable" broke free and caused chaos everywhere.]

[As long as the Ancestral Dragon lived, the Dragon Race wouldn’t face defeat.]

[Only at this moment did the Great Tribulation truly begin.]

[Liuli Immortal Venerable lent four "Panlong Pillars," barely stabilizing some areas near the Divine Land. Lacking the Divine Land Ancestral Vein "Mountain and River Seal," the Ancestral Dragon’s power couldn’t be weakened.]

[The Four Seas are extensions of the Ancestral Dragon’s Magical Power.]

[Orthodox Qi Cultivators started searching the world for the "Human Emperor" and the lost "Mountain and River Seal."]

[Ning Xunqiu knew time was running out for him, using one "Panlong Pillar" to protect the Loose Cultivators on "Purple Sky Immortal Island," and began seclusion to perfect the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map."]

[For five hundred years, Ning Xunqiu refined seventeen points of pure Spirituality from the Fallen Saint Spear, along with massive amounts of gold and a complete "Spiritual Thought" of the Demon Sword, into an incomplete "Sword."]

[This "Sword" possessed faint Heaven and Earth Tribulation Qi, with infinite killing potential, endless dangers, specifically designed to obliterate the "Spirituality" of Great Divine Power Users, named—"Immortal Slaying."]

[Ning Xunqiu unfolded the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map" again, within the grand array, the three swords changed unpredictably, from where they began to where they ended. The "Sword of Chaos" trapped the Primordial Spirit, the "Sword of Freedom" cut the flesh body, and the "Immortal Slaying Sword" obliterated Ten Thousand Spirits.]

[The consciousness of the Sword of Chaos submerged the "Holy Primordial Spirit," yet couldn’t kill the sacred ones who attained the Great Dao, so it was best to keep them confined forever.]

[Ning Xunqiu’s crafting of the "Immortal Slaying Sword" was specifically to deal with the "Immortal Dao Divine."]

[Ning Xunqiu sparred Divine Techniques with his uncle-master Linglong Fairy, deploying the Divine Technique "Immortal Slaying Sword Map" without using the "Sword of Chaos," he was thoroughly defeated.]

[Neither the "Sword of Freedom" nor the "Immortal Slaying Sword" could overcome Linglong Fairy’s "Flowing Clouds and Rainbow Ribbon."]

[These two swords could only serve as supplements to perfect the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map."]

[Dongfang Mingyue cultivated the Sword Dao, if she attained the "Immortal Golden Immortal" and "Taiyi," and her Divine Technique "Shenxiao Slash" advanced further, it might pose a slight threat to the grand flesh body of the "Holy Spirit."]

[It’s too difficult.]

[Moreover, the "Immortal Slaying Sword" is the most incomplete among the incomplete, let alone destroy the "Holy Dao Fruit," even if Ning Xunqiu perfected the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map," it would be hard to have such power.]

[Ning Xunqiu felt regretful, the Divine Technique "Jade Sky Streaming Light Galaxy," even with Master Liuli’s full assistance, couldn’t reach the heights of "Great Dao Divine Techniques."]

[Ning Xunqiu remained in seclusion within the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map," waiting quietly.

During that time, his uncle-master Linglong Fairy intended to assist his cultivation, but Ning Xunqiu refused, further consuming the "Dao Rhyme" of the Taiyi Dao Fruit would cause Linglong Fairy to fall in realm, resulting in the loss of a top great divine combat power on their side, which would not be worth it.]

[Linglong Fairy, hearing this, felt joy arising in her heart, and she hid that trace of "joy" within the Dao Fruit, saying it was normal dual cultivation.]

[Ning Xunqiu didn’t refuse, engaging in normal dual cultivation with Linglong Fairy.]

[Time flew by, in the blink of an eye three thousand years passed, yet the conflict between the Human and Dragon races never ceased, as fierce as oil flaring in a raging fire, escalating continuously.]

[The mortal world was in flames, wars broke out everywhere, the apocalypse flood surged endlessly, seemingly with no end in sight. On the Divine Land, only the Three Mountains and Seven Peaks, Five Lakes Land remained, untouched by the flood.

And in this vast world, apart from the beings hidden in the "Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands" established by the Great Divine Power Users, only one place retained an aura of peace and harmony.]

[That place was—Purple Sky Immortal Island, a sacred land free from the wars of the Immortal Family.]

[On the island resided the "Ancestor of Loose Cultivators·Qingyun Daoist," possessing earth-shattering divine techniques, once effortlessly suppressing the Dragon King along with five Golden Immortals, thus, could maintain aloofness in this apocalyptic tribulation, transcending the world.]

[The "Ancestor of Loose Cultivators·Qingyun Daoist" is immensely benevolent and compassionate, accepting all destined beings who come seeking the Dao, regardless of who they are. As long as they step onto Purple Sky Immortal Island, they can become registered disciples and share in the island’s blessings.]

[On "Purple Sky Immortal Island," there is an ironclad rule: all Qi Cultivators, regardless of the depth of their cultivation, must practice the Escape One Method — "Cyan Heaven Great Sun Burning Qi Scripture."]

[Moreover, each registered disciple must, within a century, guide three mortal beings to the Dao on behalf of the "Ancestor of Loose Cultivators."]

[Regardless of whether they are mortals, flowers, birds, insects, or fish, they are all objects of transformation.]

[Thus, over three thousand years, one diminishes while the other grows, and the number of Qi Cultivators on Purple Sky Immortal Island soon occupied half of the "spirit beings" in heaven and earth. As the "Ancestor of Loose Cultivators," Ning Xunqiu directly enjoyed the Great Fortune of Heaven and Earth.]

[The Dao Lineage stood on equal footing with the Three Sects.]

[Ning Xunqiu poured all that vast "Great Fortune of Heaven and Earth" into refining the "Immortal Slaying Sword Map," causing this treasure’s power to grow stronger and stronger, while the fortune of the Purple Sky Dao Lineage dissipated like flowing water.]

[In the blink of an eye, ten years passed. More than ten Loose Cultivators from Purple Sky Immortal Island delved into the Water Mansion to seize treasures, and a great battle with the Dragon Race suddenly erupted, leaving only one Loose Cultivator returning to the Purple Sky Immortal Island.]

[That Loose Cultivator returned to find "Senior Sister Ling Zhuzi" and wept.]

[Ling Zhuzi, enraged, stood up for the registered disciple and descended the mountain to battle the Dragon Race, only to be personally captured by the Dragon Clan God "Cloud Dragon."]

[The animosity between the two sides had long been deep-seated.]

[Ning Xunqiu had a fleeting thought and decreed a Dharma Decree. Immediately, the True Immortals in seclusion all over the island responded one after another and gathered together.]

[At the forefront were the Six Immortals of Purple Bamboo, sworn brothers with him, each having gained fortune and blessing, attaining True Immortal status.]

Six of them united, each showcasing their Divine Techniques, cooperating seamlessly, becoming the front for Purple Sky Immortal Island, revered by many Loose Cultivators, respectfully called — "Six Immortals of Purple Bamboo."]

[Behind them, there were a thousand true cultivators with Dao practice of over eight hundred years, including twelve who had attained lower grade Loose Immortal status, all of which were merely low-grade Innate Spirit Bodies.]

["We do not know why the Immortal Venerable has summoned us here?" A Loose Immortal, not seeing the Cyan Cloud Immortal Venerable, inquired to the "Six Immortals of Purple Bamboo" at the forefront who were in charge of the Dao Lineage.]

["The daughter of our second brother was caught by a Dragon Clan God." Bailing wore a grim expression, having just learned of the matter, "Now the Dragon Race wants to use my niece’s life to force our second brother to strike Divineland."]

[At this statement, the cultivators present were all shocked and at a loss, looking at each other.]

[The reason Purple Sky Immortal Island could remain unscathed during this Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth is entirely due to the tacit approval and balance between Divineland and the Dragon Race.]

[Although the disciples on the island occasionally had conflicts with the Dragon Race, the Cyan Cloud Immortal Venerable always remained aloof and upheld neutrality, and the actions of the disciples were left to fate, allowing each to follow their Celestial Mandate, with the Cyan Cloud Immortal Venerable never bullying the weak or acting rashly.]

[However, once the Cyan Cloud Immortal Venerable becomes embroiled in this conflict, it would no longer be possible to stay out of it.]

[However, the cultivators present were still unaware that behind this, a long-standing old grudge lay hidden. The Ancestral Dragon had once attempted to refine the Three Saints, forming an inseparable bond with the Liuli Immortal Venerable, sowing deep karmic ties. Now, the wheel of karma had finally begun to turn, unknowingly consumed by the assorted Loose Cultivators.]

[The Dragon Race came to demand that "Liuli Immortal Venerable" help the Orthodox Sect of Divineland suppress the Ancestral Dragon’s "great karma," and this karma should fall upon Ning Xunqiu, the Ancestor of Loose Cultivators.]

[Ning Xunqiu summoned the "Six Immortals of Purple Bamboo" and all Loose Cultivators, not to discuss, but to inform.]

[The Great Calamity is approaching, take care of yourselves.]

[Just as Ning Xunqiu took half a step out of Purple Sky Immortal Island, he was blocked by the Dragon Clan God·Ying Long on the way. Ying Long’s true form had shrunk to ten thousand feet, and he invited with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, where are you heading? Why not sit down and chat?"]

[Ning Xunqiu kept a cold face; he was unsure of escaping Ying Long’s grasp, nor did he wish to expose the "Sword of Chaos."]

[Seeing this, Ying Long laughed and said, "Don’t wait any longer, Fellow Daoist Liuli and Fellow Daoist Linglong will not come; they’ve already been stopped by others. Can you guess who?"]

[Ning Xunqiu felt a sudden heaviness in his heart, an ominous premonition surged into his mind.]

[Ying Long continued, "Fellow Daoist, this isn’t us scheming against you. The Three Sects searched throughout heaven and earth, only to painstakingly retrieve one hundred and twenty thousand strands of lost Ancestral Vein Fortune, yet the whereabouts of that Mountain and River Seal couldn’t be found, haha, don’t you find this peculiar?"]

["You... you actually know about the Mountain and River Seal?" Ning Xunqiu was shocked upon hearing this.]

["I know, of course." Ying Long nodded slightly, "Fellow Daoist, your methods are impressive and admirable. As long as you release the East Sea Dragon King and return the Sea-Suppressing Divine Pearl and Mountain and River Seal, I will have Cloud Dragon release your daughter, how about it?"]

[For a holy being to nurture offspring is extremely rare, not only a continuation of one’s great Dao but also a priceless treasure.]

[Ying Long knew clearly that those Qi Cultivators who practiced the emotionless Celestial Dao, how could they have arrived at such a stage today? They would have long turned into cold "stones," perished and disappeared.]

[Ying Long was certain that Ning Xunqiu would agree.]

[Ning Xunqiu asked doubtfully, "The Ancestral Dragon being suppressed isn’t a good thing for you? Why would you risk rescuing him from the Three Saints?"]
