Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 226: The Shock Brought to Cloud Firmament Sect by the Invincible Path (Part 1)

Ying Qi, the Perfected Being, was eager to take action, and within Cloud Firmament Sect, things were exceptionally busy.

Although Zhong Cang had left, Cloud Firmament Sect had emerged victorious in the battle for the Xuan Yuan Realm.

However, the conflict between the Dao Sect and the Demon Sect in other subordinate worlds continued.

The fierce fighting resulted in the tragic deaths of many inner disciples of Cloud Firmament Sect.

But at the same time, the continuous battles and the gains in the subordinate worlds also allowed many people to stand out and advance to the Foundation Building stage.

However, the Dao Sect had its gains.

The unscrupulous Demon Sect had even more gains.

This meant that the battle between the Dao and Demon Sects in the mortal world had not yet been decided, but was still deadlocked.

...

Today, Cloud Firmament Sect was busier and livelier than usual.

Many inner disciples who had fought in the mortal world had returned to the sect.

The main reason for this was that today was the day when the inner disciples who had advanced to the Foundation Building stage would be honored.

This was done to deepen the inner disciples' feelings towards the sect and to demonstrate the strength of Cloud Firmament Sect by showcasing the Foundation Building disciples. It also had the additional meaning of promoting the abundant resources in the mortal world and enticing more independent cultivators to go there.

No matter which region, although the major sects occupied the best resource points and held the highest power, there were still many independent cultivators in terms of sheer numbers.

And now, the war between Cloud Firmament Sect and the Demon Sect was a battle at the bottom, so they urgently needed independent cultivators to fight for them.

To fully showcase the Foundation Building cultivators who had advanced during this period, Cloud Firmament Sect had summoned them back from the mortal world.

Among them were people familiar to Zhong Cang.

Yan Ying, Zhou Cang, Yue Qianqian, these people who entered the inner sect at the same time as Zhong Cang had also advanced to the Foundation Building stage one after another.

It was not surprising that they could advance.

Foundation Building was a sky moat for ordinary cultivators, but for inner sect geniuses, it was a smooth path.

As long as they spent enough time, they could advance.

Although Zhong Cang had only left for a few months, in the mortal world, it was equivalent to several years.

For those who were already at the Qi Refining Late Stage, or even perfection, it was normal to spend several years to advance to Foundation Building.

However, where there was fighting, there were casualties, and not everyone could grow unscathed.

Zhang Yanghao, the third-ranked inner disciple who controlled thunder, died a tragic death in the mortal world due to the Demon Sect's targeting.

...

Years of war had left the surviving cultivators weathered.

At this moment, they, who had undergone a great change in temperament, watched the outer disciples busily arranging things while conversing with each other.

"Zhou Cang, how is the mortal world you're in?"

"What else can it be? It's still deadlocked. And you? I heard that a Saint Child has caused a lot of trouble for you?"

"It's fine. So what if there's a Saint Child? He's not Zhong Cang, who can single-handedly take on an army. As long as we gather enough people, we can kill him."

"..."

When it came to Zhong Cang, everyone fell silent, feeling a mix of emotions.

At first, they had ignored Zhong Cang, thinking that he was not on the same level as them.

It was only after Zhong Cang became Old Qin's disciple that they started to pay attention to him.

But what they didn't expect was that Zhong Cang, whom they had ignored and thought of recruiting, would ultimately give them a great shock.

While they were in a sorry state in the mortal world, Zhong Cang, upon arriving there, had turned the tide with his formidable strength and became a one-man army.

In the past, faced with such a Zhong Cang, they would have been jealous and unwilling to accept it.

But as the war began and they watched their fellow disciples die one after another, with familiar faces becoming fewer and fewer, their mentality changed.

At this moment, they no longer felt jealous towards Zhong Cang for his outstanding performance, but rather a camaraderie.

"It's a pity. If Zhong Cang hadn't left, our situation would be much better."

"I don't think so. Although Zhong Cang is strong, he's only at the level of a Saint Child. He can turn the tide in a localized situation, but it's difficult to change the overall situation..."

"He's stronger than a Saint Child!"

The last person to speak was Yue Qianqian. Zhong Cang had just advanced and was attacked, disappearing as a result. This incident had a great impact on her and made her even colder in demeanor.

Among the gathering of Foundation Building cultivators, even though they had all seen blood, there were still not many people willing to stand by her side.

For her words, even if everyone disagreed, there was no rebuttal.

They didn't want to fight with Yue Qianqian here.

This is not a joke. Following Zhong Cang all the way, Yue Qianqian admires him a bit and can't stand others speaking ill of him.

"......"

Seeing the atmosphere on the scene, because Yue Qianqian seemed a bit indifferent, Tao Juran, who was the host of the conference, thought of something and smiled, "Everyone, be happy. I have good news. The sect has found Zhong Cang's whereabouts and sent a Gold Core Perfected Being to pick him up. It won't be long before you can fight together."

"Really?!"

"Hehe, I won't deceive you in this matter."

"That's great."

"Hahaha, I knew that tough guy wouldn't die! Now, I have also reached Foundation Building. This time, I won't hold him back anymore."

Zhou Cang: "Have some ambition. We have practiced for several years longer than Zhong Cang. Not holding back is only natural. What we need to do is compare with him and see who kills more demons."

The camaraderie among comrades made everyone welcome Zhong Cang's arrival.

Some people wanted to fight with Zhong Cang, while others were preparing for friendly competition with him.

This harmonious scene made Tao Juran, who was at the top, quite satisfied.

While he was enjoying this peaceful scene, a "ding" sound came, and a message was delivered to his hand through a jade talisman.

"There is news again. I'm never idle for a moment."

Shaking his head with a sigh, Tao Juran opened the jade talisman at hand.

Then, he was shocked to find that the message was related to Zhong Cang.

"Huh, it's actually about this little guy, and it's marked as urgent encryption. Could it be that something happened to that little guy?"

In shock, Tao Juran didn't care about the others present and immediately opened the jade talisman to contact the other side.

Then, he saw the Perfected Being, Ying Qi, who was sent to pick up Zhong Cang, appearing on the other side.

This scene made his heart sink.

"What's going on? Why is it marked as urgent encryption? Didn't you pick up Zhong Cang?"

"We did pick him up, but the situation is a bit complicated now. I can't handle it alone. I request support from the sect!"

"I will immediately arrange for the local intelligence department to support you."

Tao Juran still had a good impression of Zhong Cang, who had turned the situation in the Xuan Yuan Realm. When the other side requested support, he didn't ask any questions and agreed directly.

However, what Ying Qi, the Perfected Being, said next stunned him.

"The Perfected Being in charge of intelligence, Peng Shang, is by my side, but there are only two of us, and it's still not enough!"

"?!!"

"Even two Perfected Beings can't protect Zhong Cang. Who have you offended? Are you prepared to request support from several Gold Cores?"

"Tao Perfected Being, Gold Cores may not be able to handle the situation. I want to request the presence of a higher-ranking person, preferably a combat expert. As for who we have offended, that little guy Zhong Cang has offended the entire Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain!"

This statement completely shocked Tao Juran.

After a long while, he finally reacted and said with some speechlessness, "Don't joke with me."

"I didn't mean to joke."

"Since you're not joking, then tell me, how can Zhong Cang, who is only at the Foundation Building stage, offend the entire Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain? Even if you, who constantly cause trouble, can't do that."

Ying Qi, the Perfected Being, was a bit displeased with this statement, but had to admit... he couldn't make enemies with the whole world.

Even if he slaughtered a city, it would only anger the local sects, and others wouldn't care.

And as a Gold Core cultivator, he couldn't make enemies with the whole world. It was even more difficult for Zhong Cang, who was only at the Foundation Building stage.

However, no matter how difficult it was, he had done it.

Without any intention of teasing, Ying Qi, the Perfected Being, quickly said, "Tao Perfected Being, the situation is urgent, so I'll make it short. Zhong Cang fell into the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain due to spatial turbulence and then embarked on an invincible path here. What's more important is that he is about to succeed!"

"Invincible path??"

Because this path was too difficult, it was considered an enemy of a domain. Almost no one could succeed.

This made Tao Juran, for the first time, not think of what the invincible path was.

It was the exclamation from Zhou Cang next to him that made him realize.

"Invincible path? Invincible at the same level? Are you kidding me? Zhong Cang just advanced a few months ago. Don't tell me that in just a few short months, he has raised his strength to the peak of Foundation Building and become invincible in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain! That's simply impossible!"

Except for Yan Ying, the other inner disciples present were all from prestigious families with deep backgrounds. When they recalled what the invincible path was from their memories, not to mention others, even Zhong Cang's little fan, Yue Qianqian, lost confidence.

She looked at Ying Qi's projection in astonishment.

'You praise Senior Brother Zhong Cang even more than I do!'

'But you're going too far!'
