Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman-Chapter 670 - 364 Taixu Wheel, The Transformation of Jianmu!_2
Chapter 670: Chapter 364 Taixu Wheel, The Transformation of Jianmu!_2
Therefore, before Su Ping could even make a move with the Sky Flipping Seal,
a Taixu Sect elder transformed into a purple sword light and descended from the sky in the distance.
Within the Taixu Sect, a disk-shaped divine weapon suddenly flew out.
The disc, as large as a millstone, brought forth a circle of purple divine light the moment it appeared.
Seeing it, Su Ping recalled something mentioned by a storyteller:
The Taixu Wheel, a divine weapon that suppresses the foundation of the Taixu Sect!
In the stories, this weapon was once used by a Taixu Immortal.
Having seen it with his own eyes, Su Ping confirmed this fact.
It seemed the stories were right about this.
This Taixu Wheel was at least on the same level as the Sky Flipping Seal in Su Ping’s hand.
They must both be divine weapons used by great powers above the Harmonization level.
Deliberately keeping his momentum, Su Ping allowed the Sky Flipping Seal to collide with the approaching Taixu Wheel.
The collision of the two divine weapons produced a loud noise and spatial fluctuations.
It created the perfect cover.
It left all the cultivators present sensing only the fluctuations of these two divine weapons.
"What a divine weapon!"
Su Ping extended his hand to retrieve the now-dimmed Sky Flipping Seal after that strike.
He took a deep look at the Taixu Wheel, which appeared unchanged after the collision.
He immediately prepared to escape.
Seeing that Su Ping, the demon, intended to leave,
the elder who had controlled the sword light hurried to exert his full power, accelerating towards Su Ping.
Su Ping had accomplished his goal and had witnessed the power of the Taixu Sect’s divine weapon.
He was already planning to leave.
But he noticed that the Taixu Sect elder had left the protection of the great array and was speeding directly towards him.
Su Ping was slightly shocked, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Then the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map directly appeared in front of the elder and unfolded with a flick!
Immediately!
The elder was engulfed by the array space formed by the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map.
The Taixu Sect disciples hiding behind the main peak of the Taixu Wheel watched all this happen with wide eyes.
An Inner Sect Disciple said tremblingly,
"This is bad, Elder Jian has fallen into the enemy’s array space!"
"Don’t panic, Elder Jian is our Taixu Sect’s number one Sword Cultivator!"
"The Deputy Sect Master and the powerful from the court are also on their way, Elder Jian can definitely hold on for that short period!"
"Once the powers from all sides arrive, that demon will surely flee in disarray!"
A True Disciple who stayed behind stood up, loudly reassuring everyone, and he indeed thought so.
After all, although the Taixu Sect had declined, Elder Jian was still a Great Power in the late stage of Divinity Transformation,
and he was a Sword Cultivator with strong offensive powers.
Even if that demon was a Returning to Void old monster, it was impossible for him to conquer in such a short time...
The True Disciple spoke halfway,
when he suddenly noticed that Elder Jian’s aura had completely disappeared.
After that, the demon in the black robe let out a sky-shaking, eerie laugh.
Before several other powerful lights arrived, he fled and vanished from everyone’s sight.
The incredulous Taixu Sect disciples could not imagine what had happened to Elder Jian.
Elder Jian was indeed very strong.
In addition to his Lifebound Magical Sword, which had attained the level of a Magic Treasure,
he also had eighteen top-grade Spiritual Swords aiding him to form a Sword Formation for offense and defense.
Any of Su Ping’s significant subordinates, in a one-on-one fight, could not necessarily defeat him.
However, Su Ping did not give him the chance to fight one-on-one.
As soon as Elder Jian entered the array space,
he not only faced the suppression of the Sun, Moon, and Star Spiritual Light,
but he also directly confronted Su Ping’s four Demon Emperors and the Netherworld Blood God puppet, Mu Cangtian and Green Sky Swallowing Tiger,
as well as Su Ping’s attack which led the Innate Gang Qi to transform into a tornado for a preemptive strike.
Elder Jian didn’t even last a moment,
before his senses were sealed, and he was directly stuffed into the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map, becoming a prisoner of Su Ping.
Not long after Su Ping disappeared,
the Deputy Sect Master of the Taixu Sect appeared with more than a dozen strong individuals at the outer periphery of the main peak.
And upon learning that the hot-headed Elder Jian had taken the initiative to send himself away,
his expression grew even gloomier.
He immediately took out a Treasure Mirror.
After scanning with it, the Deputy Sect Master said,
"No evil Qi?"
"Fellow Taoist friends, it appears that it is not Evil Cultivators stirring trouble."
"Certainly, some other forces must have set their sights on our Taixu Sect!"
The Deputy Sect Master said this and looked toward a Golden-armored General standing beside him.
The General’s expression was equally serious:
"Rest assured, Taoist friend, we will definitely report this matter to the Emperor."
"With the Emperor’s protection, nobody can take away the foundation of the Taixu Sect!"
"However, does the Deputy Sect Master have any clues?"
Hearing the Golden-armored General’s inquiry, the Deputy Sect Master grimaced and shook his head.
The enemies of the Taixu Sect were numerous.
Yet, encountering a Divine Weapon as horrifying as seen previously was exceedingly rare.
Even after recalling the sect’s records,
This Deputy Sect Master was shocked to find that he had never seen such a Divine Weapon resembling a brick.
This made him increasingly fearful.
Because such a situation often meant that those coveting the Taixu Sect were not the same-level sects on the Canghao Continent.
But rather, those top-tier great sects above the stars!
If those sects, equivalent to collaborators of the Emperor, wanted the foundation of the Taixu Sect,
The Taixu Sect... was likely in grave danger!
In the sweltering heat, the Deputy Sect Master felt chills, breaking out in cold sweat as he thought about it.
The Deputy Sect Master no longer paid attention to the spatial rift in the sky.
After bidding farewell to those Taoist friends who aided in the formation,
he hurried back to the deep recesses of the sect and reported the situation along with his suspicions to the Sect Master, who was still at the court’s core.
The Sect Master of the Taixu Sect was equally astonished.
However, he had a deeper understanding of the outer world and knew that the current consensus was to jointly resist the Evil Demons that had suddenly grown stronger.
It was unlikely that they would trouble their already declining sect.
The Sect Master met with the Emperor and then contacted those top-tier sects through him,
and consequently received the message that they had no involvement in this affair.
This news relieved the Sect Master,
but it also brought the Taixu Sect back into the sight of those high powers of the Canghao Realm.
The severe changes in the outer world had greatly increased their sense of crisis.
This reminded them of the withered Ancient Jianmu Tree of the Taixu Sect.
Consequently,
when the legitimate Sect Master was returning to the Taixu Sect on an Immortal Boat,
the Immortal Boat was not only carrying the Emperor’s Envoy and a large contingent of elite guards,
but also True Disciples and distinguished elders from the top-tier sects.
Together, they entered the main peak of the Taixu Sect and gathered to observe the feeble and withered Ancient Jianmu Tree in the Taixu Cave Heaven.
"Eh?"
Upon seeing the Pale Ancient Tree,
a True Disciple from the Green Sun Sect, also one of the finest young geniuses of his generation, suddenly furrowed his brows and whispered in a low voice:
"Why is there so much Evil Qi gathered beneath this ancient tree?"
"It’s no wonder he’s the most formidable genius of this generation, to have discovered the Evil Qi beneath the tree."
The Deputy Sect Master looked at the young Cultivator who had spoken and began to explain:
"When the Taixu Sect had not yet declined, the old ancestors in the sect had discovered that although the Divine Tree had withered and lost many of its magical powers, it could still absorb Evil Qi and hide it under its roots."
"Moreover, the Divine Tree is ultimately a Divine Tree; though withered, it remains unaffected by the slightest bit of Evil Qi, only gathering the Evil Qi to prevent it from dispersing into the void."
"At that time, the first major crisis of the Evil Demons had occurred, and the problem of Evil Qi had been troubling most sects."
"Especially on the Canghao Continent, where Alchemists had discovered issues with medicinal ingredients, with Pills affecting Cultivators’ breakthroughs."
"Thus, for the sake of the entire Canghao Continent,
"the old ancestors, after discussions, decided to make our Taixu Sect suffer for a while."
"They set up a Formation, directing the Continent’s Evil Qi into this Taixu Cave Heaven, and then had the Divine Tree actively attract and suppress it beneath the ground."
"It was because of this that the concentration of Evil Qi on the Canghao Continent has remained so low, allowing the path of Cultivation to avoid becoming even more arduous..."
At this point, the Deputy Sect Master paused, not continuing.
The path before Returning to Void remained the same as previously recorded.
However, the path beyond Returning to Void had become many times more difficult than in Ancient Times.
Especially the breakthrough to Harmonization.
It posed numerous difficulties.
In those top-tier sects among the stars, there were Great Powers who tried to refine entire stars to attempt Harmonization.
Unfortunately, so many years had passed,
every method had been tried.
The True Monarchs and old ancestors of various sects, though their strength and foundation had increased quite a bit,
ultimately could not make the step of Harmonizing into one, becoming one with heaven and earth,
to become a true Harmonization True Monarch, an Immortal among humans!
