Chapter 735: Immortal Court Retreat, Suppress Dao Fruit
Xu Ling Sect is also a top-notch Taoist sect. There are two outer Taoist cultivators in the sect, the sect master who inherited the Taoist name of Xu Ling and the supreme elder who sealed himself off. As for the Taoist cultivators, there are three who are in the Taoist Fruit Realm, and they are the three elders who are ranked highest.
The third elder's Taoist name is Yulong. Taoist Yulong is a cultivator who has just entered the Dao Fruit Realm. He is quite clear about the sect's arrangements, so when he saw the Taoist cultivator in the Dao Realm standing next to the second elder, he thought of some terrible situation and his pupils suddenly shrank.
He shifted his gaze to look at the Second Elder, and discovered that the other's expression was more solemn than ever before. Even when they looked at each other, he could see the deep fear hidden in the depths of the other's eyes.
Taoist Yulong felt a sudden shock in his heart. His inner uneasiness surged out and became real. He held his breath, suppressed his throbbing, and asked, "Brother Daoist, what is the important matter that I am here for?"
Inside the hall, the second elder of Xuling Sect, whose Taoist name was Kuihua, looked at the ordinary Taoist standing beside him and said in a deep voice: "Xuanhe, speak."
The Xuanhe Taoist, who was sitting in the sect's secret place and keeping an eye on the dozens of Dao Realm Soul Lamps in the sect, couldn't help but tremble and whispered, "Third Elder, the sect master's soul lamp just went out."
As soon as he said this, Taoist Yulong's fear gushed out, and he subconsciously said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
His words did not cause any rebuttal from Taoist Xuanhe and Taoist Kuihua.
Taoist Kuihua said to Xuanhe, "Xuanhe, you should return to the sect's secret place first and keep an eye on the sect's movements. Without my permission, you must not tell anyone about the extinguishing of the sect master's soul lamp. Remember, remember."
Taoist Xuanhe also knew the seriousness of the situation. After agreeing to it, he respectfully bowed to the two Daoguo realm elders, walked out of the hall, and returned to the secret place where he had been sitting.
Inside the hall, the second elder of Xu Ling Sect, Taoist Kuihua, and the third elder, Taoist Yulong, who had calmed down, looked at each other. They saw the fear and horror in each other's eyes, and their breathing seemed to stop for a moment.
After ten breaths, the third elder, Yulong Daoist, finally shook off his initial panic and whispered:
"The Great Elder has been traveling for tens of thousands of years and cannot be contacted for the time being."
"Brother Dao, what should we do next?"
"Do we need to wake up the Grand Elder?"
Taoist Kuihua thought for a moment and shook his head heavily: "No, no, the Supreme Elder is the last trump card of my Xuling Sect. It cannot be used unless it is a matter of life and death."
"First of all, the extinguishing of the sect leader's soul lamp does not mean that the sect leader has died. There are many ways to create signs of false death. You and I should be familiar with these."
"What if the Sect Master just encountered a major change, which caused the Soul Lamp to go out? If we awaken the Supreme Elder for this, we will be doing more harm than good."
"Secondly, if the sect master really died, we should not wake up the Supreme Elder immediately, but secretly investigate the situation and find out the cause and effect of the sect master's death. If the Supreme Elder really needs to take action, then we can wake him up."
Having said this, Taoist Kuihua paused, and then continued: "Next, I will go out to find the sect master and investigate the truth behind his death. During this time, I need you to stay in the sect."
"Remember, do not panic, and do not announce the extinguishing of the sect master's soul lamp to the public, so as not to attract the covetousness of outside sects."
After hearing this, Taoist Yulong wanted to say something but stopped himself. However, due to the sudden change, he couldn't come up with a better idea. After thinking about it, he had to agree.
After the two of them discussed privately, they gradually called in other ordinary Dao realms in the sect and told them that Taoist Kuihua was going to the Eastern Realm to comprehend the Dao traces of transcendence.
There are thirteen Dao Realm masters in Xu Ling Sect, eight of whom are ordinary Dao Realm masters, and only six remain in the sect.
Normally, the second elder, Taoist Kuihua, is in charge of all matters within the sect. This time when he is away, he will naturally transfer his power to the third elder, Taoist Yulong.
The sect's mountain protection formation also requires the handover of a token, which naturally takes a certain amount of time.
When Han Yi arrived outside the mountain gate of Xu Ling Sect, he noticed slight changes within the sect. These changes were not filled with seriousness and solemnity, and on the surface, nothing serious seemed to have happened.
"In this case, it seems that the Dao Fruit Realm elders of Xuling Sect must have concealed the matter."
"There is no aura of the Outer Dao Realm either, which means that the Grand Elder has not been awakened."
Seeing this, Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
His original purpose of coming here was to see the Supreme Elder, but along the way, things changed and his purpose became three.
The first is to eliminate the threat from Xu Ling Sect. It shouldn't take too much time for the news of Taoist Xu Ling's death in Donghuang's territory to reach Xu Ling Sect. Once Xu Ling Sect knows the truth, they may retaliate. Although Han Yi is not afraid, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. It would be best to eliminate the threat in advance.
The second is to find an opportunity to transform the supreme elder of Xu Ling Sect into his own Wan Ming incarnation. This incarnation will surely have milestone value and significance.
Of course, he found out from Xu Ling Taoist Tower that the supreme elder of Xu Ling Sect was not a normal outsider, but a cultivator who had suffered Taoist injuries and was unable to recover from his injuries by taking multiple actions like a normal outsider.
But placing it outside the Suizhu Immortal Court can also be used as a trump card to resist invasion from outsiders.
The third is that he will try to transform all of Xu Ling Sect's Dao Realms, including ordinary Dao Realms and Dao Fruit Realms, into Wan Ming incarnations, and completely control this Dao Realm force. If successful, this will undoubtedly become a retreat for the Immortal Court. Once things are impossible, the Immortal Court can retreat here and lie dormant temporarily.
At this moment, his appearance had been transformed into that of Taoist Xu Ling by invisible Taoist magic, but when he arrived at the mountain gate of Xu Ling Sect, he changed his mind.
If he entered the sect as a Taoist priest of Xu Ling, it would most likely arouse suspicion from the Dao Fruit Realm who knew the truth and awaken the Grand Elder in advance. Although he was not afraid of a fight and could destroy the entire Xu Ling Sect, he would not be able to achieve all of his goals. This was the most brutal and least effective means.
Another method is for him to sneak in. With his means, he can transform all ordinary Dao realm and even Dao fruit realm cultivators into Wanming incarnations without anyone noticing. Then, when the time comes, he can attack the Supreme Elder and he will definitely not fail.
Just as he was thinking, the Dao rhyme of the entire Xu Ling Mountain underwent subtle changes. This kind of change was almost impossible to perceive for those below the Dao realm, but for Han Yi, it was crystal clear.
Just three breaths after this change occurred, a figure escaped from Xu Ling Sect and fled towards the north.
Han Yi immediately recognized that the cultivator who escaped was the second elder of Xu Ling Sect. He had already gained a comprehensive understanding of the situation of Xu Ling Sect from Xu Ling Taoist Tower, and was also familiar with the appearances of many Taoist realms.
"The second elder of Xu Ling Sect, Dao Fruit Realm, Taoist Kui Hua."
"According to Xu Ling Pagoda, after the sect master left the sect, Taoist Kui Hua took charge of the sect and controlled the sect protection formation. He would not easily leave the mountain gate." "If we talk about who in the sect knew about Taoist Xu Ling's death first, Taoist Kui Hua must be at the forefront."
"It's impossible for him to leave at this moment by coincidence. He just happened to have something to do. It must be because he knew that Taoist Xu Ling had passed away.
"That's good. Starting with you, we can surely gradually take control of Xu Ling Sect."
Han Yi's eyes flashed, and his figure shook, and he chased after Taoist Kuihua. His speed was not fast, but he was just in a stalemate with Taoist Kuihua at the moment.
After a while, he saw Taoist Kuihua arrive at the central area of the Eternal Realm and step into the passage leading to chaos. This kind of passage exists in every land of the Nine Ancient Realms, and according to the requirements of the Great Celestial Lord, all forces share this passage. Therefore, even the Celestial Lord-level forces dare not occupy it at will.
"It seems that this Taoist Kuihua is very likely preparing to escape into the Primal Chaos to investigate the death of Taoist Xuling."
"What he didn't know was that the place where Xu Ling fell was not in Chaos, but in Donghuang."
Han Yi's mind flashed with thoughts, and he chased after him with a flash. After stepping into the passage, he walked out of the halo passage along the direction of the passage.
Behind him, the gorgeous passage stood outside the world, in the chaos, as if it had existed there forever.
In front of him, there was a blurry shadow, which was already quite far away from him.
Han Yi's figure flashed, and this time, although he still used invisible Taoist magic to conceal his breath, he had no worries about his speed and increased it to the extreme.
With his current level of cultivation, the cultivation of the gods is one step higher than that of the immortals. The speed of displaying the Infinite True Realm is faster than the Traceless Taoism. Moreover, the speed of the Infinite True Realm alone has reached the level of the outer path. When Taoism and divine arts are superimposed, among the outer paths, the speed alone is also at the peak.
The figure he was chasing, that is, the Taoist Kuihua of Xu Ling Sect, was only at the Dao Fruit realm, and not the peak Dao Fruit realm. Strictly speaking, he was only a senior Dao Fruit realm.
Although Taoist Kuihua was alert, he did not think that anyone would follow and hunt him. Therefore, when he noticed something unusual and turned around, he saw a figure with extremely high speed approaching within a hundred miles. For a Taoist cultivator, this distance was like being face to face.
For a moment, he felt an extreme sense of crisis in his heart, because judging from the speed, the other party was definitely at the outsider level.
Then, the first thought that flashed through his mind was that this heretic cultivator approaching him must be related to the death of his sect master. Otherwise, it would be impossible that the sect master's soul lamp went out and he was suspected of having died, and then he left the Ancient Continent and entered the Chaos, where he was targeted by the heretic cultivator.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, it was deeply rooted in his heart. However, facing the outsiders and the crisis, he naturally would not fight hard, and he also knew that at this speed, he could not escape.
He quickly took out his natal Taoist weapon, a scroll with a picture of mountains and rivers, and held it up, letting the scroll wrap around him and protect him, while he also uttered the Taoist sound loudly.
"Fellow Daoist ahead, is there anything important?"
"I am the Grand Elder of Xu Ling Sect in the Great Ancient World. My Sect Master Xu Ling Taoist and the Grand Elder are also outsiders. Do you need me to introduce you to someone?"
"The Supreme Lord of Chonglou in the ancient world is stationed outside the world passage. This place is not far from the passage. If you want to pay a visit to the Supreme Lord, I can also introduce you."
His second sentence was to warn the foreign monks who had temporarily set their sights on him that they might give up on attacking him because they were afraid that there were two foreign monks in his sect.
The second sentence, mentioning Chonglou Tianzun, was even more of a deterrent, making the other party hesitate to act rashly.
But what made him tremble in his heart was that these two sentences did not make the other party hesitate even for a moment. His speed was still fast, and a superposition and chaos of nothingness spread towards him.
Taoist Kuihua no longer had any hope in his heart, his face changed drastically, and he threw a Taoist talisman towards the direction where Han Yi was escaping. This talisman was one of the sect's traditional resources. Even an outsider cultivator would be dizzy for a moment after being hit by this talisman.
He could take advantage of this moment to escape.
He had no intention of returning to the ancient times, because if he did so, he would most likely bring the crisis of the heretic back to the sect, which would then alarm the Grand Elder, cause him to wake up, and fight with the heretic. Even if the sect was safe, the smallest price would be to aggravate the Grand Elder's injuries.
But the next moment, the horror in his pupils increased, because after the Taoist talisman he threw out was activated, a strong chaotic force shot out, and this chaotic force turned into a mile-long arrow and stabbed towards the spreading nothingness.
But when the arrow pierced into the void, the same terrifying power of chaos erupted from within the void, surrounding the arrow and constantly destroying its power. In just three breaths, the huge chaos arrow that was a mile in size completely disintegrated and was swallowed up by the void space.
"How can this be?"
Taoist Kuihua was not a shallow-minded person. Whether it was from the sect's scriptures or the teachings from the supreme elders and the sect master himself, he was no stranger to the methods used by the outer Taoist realm cultivators. The sect master even occasionally took the time to preach to them and teach them techniques. To some extent, it was not an exaggeration to say that he had experience fighting against the outer Taoist realm cultivators.
In his fixed impression, the means and chaotic forces wielded by the heterodox monks could never be so huge and powerful as those in the void space ahead.
In an instant, a desperate guess came to his mind.
The other party is not an outsider, but... a member of the same sect? ?
As soon as the thought came to his mind, nothingness had already submerged him. In the nothingness, he saw a Taoist sword, shining with pure white light. Killing intent surged like a raging wave approaching, and a chill spread throughout his body.
He shifted his gaze away from the sword and stared at a figure walking towards him in the void. The murderous intent that was aroused also manifested, causing the scroll floating beside him to emit nine-colored rays of light.
Despite being in danger and filled with murderous intent, Taoist Kuihua forced himself to calm down and asked the question he wanted to know most.
"Fellow Daoist, do you have any grudge against my Xu Ling Sect?"
Han Yi, carrying a giant axe on his back, stopped with a wild look on his face. He looked at Taoist Kuihua without further explanation. His figure flashed and he disappeared in an instant. In the void sword world, he achieved a speed that even those in the Dao Fruit Realm and even the Outer Dao Realm could hardly react to.
boom!
His figure disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already above Taoist Kuihua's head. Then, he pressed down with one palm, and infinite divine power surged out, like a sacred mountain that carried countless worlds, suppressing Taoist Kuihua. Taoist Kuihua, who suddenly raised his head, was horrified again. At this moment, the Taoist power in his body was almost solidified under the pressure of the divine power above his head and could not be mobilized. Even if he wanted to self-destruct, he could not do it.
In the chaos, a void quickly spread out, then quickly condensed, and finally disappeared. Two figures appeared where the void finally disappeared. (End of this chapter)
