Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 227: The Battle for Zhong Cang's Supremacy

"The invincible path?!"

"I admit that Senior Brother Zhong Cang is strong, but he only advanced a few months ago. How could he possibly walk this path, let alone succeed?"

No one believed that Zhong Cang would walk this path, let alone succeed.

In the face of this lack of trust, Perfected Being Yingqi did not say anything.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that person was talking nonsense and daydreaming.

However, he had witnessed and experienced Zhong Cang's power.

Therefore, no matter how unbelievable it was, he could only accept it.

At this moment, faced with the questioning of the crowd, he did not speak up to defend himself. Instead, he took out a leaving image stone and released the scene of Zhong Cang's battle before everyone's eyes.

The focus was on the sword that split the Mountain and Sea, and the terrifying scene of the falling stars!

"Hiss!"

"Boom!"

Watching the sword light advance relentlessly, cutting through everything.

And then seeing the Zhenyue Stele descend like a falling star, shaking the heavens.

Yan Ying, Zhou Cang, Yue Qianqian, and others who were watching the leaving image stone were all speechless.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Looking at the images, they were stunned for a while before voices of shock came out of their mouths.

"How could he be so strong?"

"This is Foundation Building? The same as my Foundation Building?"

"Is my Foundation Building fake?"

"I knew it, Senior Brother Zhong Cang is the strongest. If he were here, those demonic sects wouldn't dare to be so arrogant!"

The last person to speak was Yue Qianqian. When she praised Zhong Cang, she even provocatively glanced at Yan Ying and Zhou Cang.

Obviously, the few of them who had just wanted to compete with Zhong Cang were remembered by her.

Yan Ying and Zhou Cang naturally dared not respond to this provocation.

They couldn't withstand such terrifying sword energy.

And those leaving images shocked not only these Foundation Building cultivators but also Gold Core Perfected Being Tao Juran. Even as a disciple of the sect master, at Zhong Cang's level and age, he was not as powerful.

After recovering from the shock, Tao Juran's whole body trembled, and then he didn't even care about the ceremony for the Foundation Building cultivators. He hurriedly ran towards the Cloud Mist Sect's main hall.

A few minutes later, Tao Juran, who was riding on clouds and mist, burst into the Cloud Mist Hall and saw his master discussing matters with two other hall masters.

"Aren't you presiding over the ceremony for the Foundation Building cultivators? Why did you come here?"

"And also, you are already a Gold Core Perfected Being, representing the face of our Cloud Firmament Sect. Being flustered like this, what kind of image is that?"

Seeing Tao Juran rushing in, Sect Master Lin Yuan frowned immediately. He thought something big had happened outside.

At the same time, he scolded Tao Juran, hoping that he would remain calm.

In the past, after being scolded, Tao Juran, who was somewhat carefree and unruly, would smile awkwardly and say a few pleasing words.

But now, he didn't have such thoughts.

Looking at Lin Yuan, Tao Juran put away his usual playful smile and said seriously, "Master, something big has happened!"

"What happened? Was one of the lower realms occupied by the demonic sects?"

This time, the one speaking was the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall. In his opinion, the only thing that could be considered a big event now was if one of the lower realms was occupied.

But soon, Tao Juran denied this.

"It's not about the lower realms. This incident is related to Zhong Cang."

"Zhong Cang? I remember he was found in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain, and we sent a Gold Core cultivator to bring him back... Could it be that he was assassinated?"

After all, he had single-handedly reversed a situation in a realm and even reached the Foundation Building stage. The name Zhong Cang was known even to Nascent Soul cultivators.

When they first heard Tao Juran's account, the three Nascent Soul cultivators also thought it was a fantasy and completely impossible.

The more they knew about Zhong Cang's situation, the less they believed it.

This situation was not because they underestimated Zhong Cang, but because they knew how many geniuses there were in a realm and how diverse their methods were.

Even if an individual was powerful, they would be restrained by many geniuses and eventually be defeated.

The invincible path was not so easy to traverse.

However, their instinctive disbelief changed instantly as Tao Juran released the leaving image of Zhong Cang's battle. They watched the exquisite and unparalleled sword strike, and in an instant, their mindset changed.

From full of doubt to ecstatic joy.

"Good, good, good!"

"With such a genius, our sect will be safe for a thousand years!"

"Hahaha, I remember that the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain's sect has been pressuring us, hoping that we would give up more benefits. Now, Zhong Cang wants to subdue their younger generation. Let's see if they still have the face to ask us for more resources."

"Not only the sect, but the demonic sect is also arrogant. They should release the scenes of Zhong Cang's battles. I want to see if those Saint Children, reserve Saint Children, and a few others dare to be arrogant towards us!"

The Hongxuan Continent is a cultivation world where power belongs to oneself, and there is a huge disparity in strength between individuals.

There are peerless geniuses who can single-handedly turn the tide of battle.

Zhong Cang is such an existence today.

Especially now that the sect is in crisis, the appearance of such a genius can greatly boost the morale of the sect. Therefore, the three elders are excited.

The elder of the Hall of Punishment even proposed to livestream Zhong Cang's invincible journey during the Foundation Building ceremony, in order to intimidate the independent cultivators of the North Abyss Region and small clans, making them understand who the true ruler of the North Abyss Region is.

The sect master, Lin Yuan, is also prepared to agree to this.

However, after nodding, he quickly thought of something and anxiously said before Tao Juran could explain, "Wait, let's not rush to promote Zhong Cang."

Xing Chao asked, "Why not promote him? Now is the time when we need Zhong Cang to inspire everyone!"

Confused, Sect Master Lin Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I also want to promote him, but doing so would put him in danger... There are no protectors around Zhong Cang..."

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, the three elders in the room were startled.

Xing Chao couldn't help but roar, "No protectors! How can such a genius not have any protectors! What kind of sect master are you!"

Seeing his master being scolded, Tao Juran had to step forward and defend him.

"Respected elders, Zhong Cang was not sent to provoke the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain. He accidentally ended up in the Cloud Dream Province, and he was exiled right after reaching the Foundation Building stage. We haven't had the chance to send protectors yet."

This reason seemed to convince Xing Chao, and then he quickly said, "Since there are no protectors, I'll go."

Before his words could finish, he started walking towards the main hall.

However, as soon as he made this move, he was stopped by the Lord of the Five Immortals Hall beside him.

"Brother Xing, it is wartime now, and the Hall of Enforcement is the busiest. You can't leave. Let the Five Immortals Hall handle this matter."

Lin Yuan said, "No, no, no. The Five Immortals Hall is in charge of logistics and needs to handle internal and external affairs. Right now, you are the busiest. Let me handle this. As the sect master, I am just a rubber stamp and rarely needed. If you go quickly, it will only take two or three days to bring Zhong Cang back."

Xing Chao said, "Sect Master, what are you saying? With you here, our Cloud Firmament Sect is as stable as Mount Tai. Anyone can leave, but we can't afford to lose you!"

In the main hall, the three elders humbly deferred to each other, emphasizing the importance of others and saying that they couldn't leave the sect. They insisted that they would handle the small matter of receiving Zhong Cang themselves.

While the three of them spoke harmoniously, Tao Juran trembled and hid in the corner, afraid to let anyone notice him.

The reason for this was:

"Hmph, this is outrageous! I am the sect master, and whoever I say should go, should go!"

"I am the elder of the Hall of Enforcement. Even if you are the sect master, leaving the sect without permission during wartime is a serious offense!"

"Elder of the Hall of Enforcement, you can't leave either!"

Watching the three palace masters gradually tearing apart their faces, Tao Juran shrank his neck and revealed an expression of "just as expected".

He naturally understood the reason why the three of them were tearing apart their faces.

Being able to challenge one domain alone, even if it was only invincible at the same level, Zhong Cang's talent was still rare in a thousand years.

Such a genius, everyone wanted to take him as their disciple.

And now, Zhong Cang was facing a crisis. Whoever went, whoever would be able to benefit from the situation and establish a good relationship with Zhong Cang, and take him as their disciple.

By wasting a few days, one could gain a disciple who was rare in a thousand years. The three senior figures naturally wanted to do such a deal.

Especially the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall and the Elder of the Five Immortals Hall, they had some small "grudges" with the Sect Master Lin Yuan... The few of them were competitors for the position of Sect Master.

Although Lin Yuan ultimately emerged victorious.

But the position of the Sect Master of the Cloud Firmament Sect was not inherited from father to son, nor was it passed down from master to disciple, but was occupied by the capable.

Unable to surpass the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall and the Elder of the Five Immortals Hall, they wanted to cultivate a genius disciple who could compete with the Sect Master Lin Yuan and let him take the position of Sect Master.

With such an idea, and the qualification to compete with the Sect Master Lin Yuan, they naturally wouldn't give an inch.

And because of this, the three of them started arguing in this Yunxiao Hall.

Sect Master Lin Yuan: "You have all seen Zhong Cang's strength. If he becomes my disciple and inherits the position of Sect Master, it will be almost certain, and this will be the smoothest transition..."

Xing Chao: "Swordsmanship is my specialty, Zhong Cang should be taught by me."

Elder of the Five Immortals Hall: "Ahem, I remember, Zhong Cang's best at formations, and I happen to be a master of formations..."

While arguing, the three of them also released an overwhelming aura, suppressing each other.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Thunder, flames, sword qi, the auras of the three Nascent Soul stage experts soared into the sky, covering half of the Cloud Firmament Sect.

This terrifying scene made countless people tremble and look around.

When they discovered that the burst of aura came from the Yunxiao Hall, these cultivators were even more shocked.

"They are actually fighting in the Yunxiao Hall, what happened?"

"Did someone break in?"

"It's impossible. Our Cloud Firmament Sect is the strongest in the vicinity. Besides the Transcendent Level sects in the Central State, who can break in?"

"This aura, it's the Sect Master and the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall... Why are they fighting?"

When they discovered that the burst of aura came from the Yunxiao Hall, some were horrified, some were panicked, and some were puzzled.

Yue Qianqian, Zhou Cang, and Yan Ying were also initially shocked, but soon, they thought of something. After exchanging glances, an incredible thought appeared in their minds.

"Could it be that the Sect Master and the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall are having a dispute because of Zhong Cang?"

As this thought emerged, Zhou Cang and Yan Ying quickly shook their heads.

"It's impossible, absolutely impossible. The Sect Master and the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall are such prominent figures, how could they have a dispute because of Zhong Cang?"

They were unwilling to believe it, but this thought was deeply engraved in their minds, and they couldn't get rid of it no matter what.
