Chapter 1740 Visitor, a Test?
"Just as they wished!"
The three major alliances are indeed preoccupied with their own problems, or rather, they have long been plagued by serious internal issues.
Therefore, they did not send any monks.
Therefore!
Only those long-dormant forces, such as the Yin Corpse Valley and the three major demonic sects like the Evil Spirit Sect, dared to openly attack my White Cloud Sect.
"I see!" Cheng Changqing suddenly realized.
"The actions of the three major demonic sects were not impulsive, but rather part of a deeper scheme?"
“Not bad,” Cheng Buzheng nodded.
"Their real purpose is not simply to seize a few spiritual veins."
Are they testing the Immortal Alliance's reaction?
After all, I am the Inspector of the Immortal Alliance, a position that has been a sword hanging over their heads for a long time.
They feared the might of the Immortal Alliance and dared not easily provoke my White Cloud Sect.
But now, with the Immortal Alliance's order collapsing and teetering on the brink of collapse, they want to take this opportunity to test whether this sharp sword is still as sharp as it once was.
At this point, a cold glint flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes.
Cheng Changqing was horrified when he heard this, and at the same time he understood why the three major demonic sects would, contrary to their usual behavior, target the White Cloud Sect.
This is not just greed, but also a test and a provocation.
They also came to realize the depth of the scheming of these demonic lords.
"So that's how it is..." Cheng Changqing listened intently, feeling a chill run down his spine.
The struggles in the cultivation world were indeed more complex and brutal than he had imagined.
"Changqing," Cheng Buzheng said earnestly.
"Do you know why those demonic cultivators who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm are all so cunning and ruthless?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Changqing was filled with awe: "A giant of the demonic path, extraordinary indeed, naturally possessing exceptional wisdom and resourcefulness."
“Not bad,” Cheng Buzheng nodded.
"Those who can cultivate step by step to the Nascent Soul realm are not easy to deal with, regardless of whether they are righteous or demonic."
The conspiracies and schemes they experienced, the brushes with death they crossed, are far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
A single misstep could lead to utter ruin.
Therefore, they often possess an astonishingly keen sense of situational awareness and the ability to understand people's hearts.
"The reason why the three major demonic sects chose to attack my White Cloud Sect this time may seem reckless, but it was actually a well-thought-out decision."
After all, the [Yinshi Valley], [Evil Spirit Sect], and [Crimson Flame Blood Spirit Sect] are all demonic sects. Even if the worst-case scenario occurs, leading to the arrival of the Immortal Alliance envoy, it would still be within their expectations.
Although the Immortal Alliance and the Demon Alliance are both three major alliances of the human race, they are ultimately not the same alliance.
Therefore, the Immortal Alliance envoys also did not have the authority to deal with the three major demonic sects.
At that time, the three major demonic sects will only need to pull some strings, and at most they will lose some precious spiritual items!
But I'm sure I can keep my life.
This is also the biggest trump card of the three great demonic lords.
Unfortunately, they never imagined that I had already broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which is why I ended up dying without a complete corpse.
Moreover, their attempt to seize the spiritual veins was merely a petty act of opportunism.
But in essence, they are using my White Cloud Sect to test the Immortal Alliance's reaction, and to probe the true strength and weakness of the entire cultivation world.
After listening to the ancestor's analysis, Cheng Changqing felt dizzy.
It turns out that everything I knew before was just the tip of the iceberg.
The depths of the cultivation world were far more murky and dangerous than he had imagined.
"Alright," Cheng Buzheng seemed to realize the conversation had become a bit heavy, so he adopted a more relaxed tone.
"If the sky falls, there will always be someone tall enough to hold it up."
You don't need to worry unnecessarily.
Now that I have broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, no one will dare to easily touch my White Cloud Sect.
You only need to focus on handling the affairs of the sect and improving your own cultivation.
"Yes, disciple will follow the teachings of the Ancestor." Cheng Changqing replied respectfully.
“Yes,” Cheng Buzheng nodded.
"If there is nothing else important, you may leave now."
I also need to meditate for a while to consolidate my cultivation.
"This disciple takes his leave." Cheng Changqing bowed and turned to leave the main hall.
Watching Cheng Changqing's departing figure...
Cheng Buzheng's gaze deepened as he fell into deep thought.
"Now that the order of the cultivation world has collapsed and wars are breaking out everywhere, even the legendary Endless Sea is probably not going to be spared."
"How about we take this opportunity to loot again?"
After all, during the last raid, he didn't know much about the secrets of the cultivation world; the information he had was all publicly available.
However, after communicating with many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Forbidden Sea, Cheng Buzheng learned more hidden information.
Especially the top clans of the demon race, whose foundations are unfathomable.
During the last raid, I subconsciously overlooked the treasure trove that is the demon race.
"Why not take this opportunity to visit Zhenlonghai?"
Without the obstruction of the Nascent Soul Demon Lord, wouldn't I be able to freely use the treasures of the many peak clans in the True Dragon Sea?
"Who knows, we might even find some useful treasures!"
The more Cheng Buzheng thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
Followed by.
He then thought of another question:
'If this Dharma Body were to be activated, wouldn't the efficiency of the Dharma Body on the other side of the Forbidden Sea in comprehending the Law of Blood be greatly reduced?'
After a slight hesitation, Cheng Buzheng sighed and said:
Unfortunately, the wisp of true spirit that was originally taken back has not yet been restored to its perfect state.
Do not move lightly.
It seems the only option is to temporarily set aside comprehending the laws of chaos and analyzing the Dao inscriptions, and focus on the Forbidden Sea first!
next moment,
Cheng Buzheng's thoughts shifted, and he immediately suppressed the thought:
"If I go out now, it might cause unnecessary trouble."
Let's wait a little longer!
Having just revealed his cultivation level at the late Nascent Soul stage, further testing is inevitable.
If we leave now, the White Cloud Sect will likely face many difficulties in the future.
Thinking of this,
Cheng Buzheng immediately dismissed his restless thoughts.
"Fine!"
"Let's wait a little longer and take this opportunity to find out the current situation in the True Dragon Sea."
After a soft sigh, the figure on the high throne gradually became illusory, eventually turning into specks of light and dissipating into the hall.
The Black Stone Palace has returned to its former tranquility.
At that moment, Cheng Changqing was walking briskly on the mountain path back to his residence.
His emotions remained unsettled for a long time. The ancestor's words resonated in his heart like a thunderclap, giving him a completely new understanding of the situation in the entire cultivation world.
"It seems that life at the White Cloud Sect won't be peaceful from now on." He looked up at the white clouds drifting in the sky and muttered to himself.
"However, with our patriarch in charge, our White Cloud Sect will surely stand firm!"
There was a gleam of determination in his eyes.
·····
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed!
This day.
The morning bell had just rung three times, and the mountain mist had not yet completely dissipated.
Suddenly, dark cloud vortexes surged at the horizon, as if a giant beast were tearing the sky apart. When the cloud vortex cracked open, a point of dark blue starlight burst forth!
The starlight was initially no bigger than a bean, but in an instant it expanded into a sword light over ten feet long!
Wherever it passed, an overwhelming pressure rolled down, as if it were a tangible force.
The air itself seemed to explode, like thunder and lightning, echoing throughout the void.
Baiyun Gate, at the summit of the main peak.
Cheng Changqing stared intently at the void before him, his gaze profound and unfathomable, as if piercing through the protective mountain array, fixed on the sword light piercing through the clouds. His Adam's apple bobbed.
"Ordinary Golden Core cultivators can travel at most a hundred miles in an instant when flying."
This sword light seemed to shrink the distance to an inch, arriving nearby in a matter of moments from tens of thousands of miles away.
"This must be a senior at the Nascent Soul Realm."
"Moreover, he is an extraordinary Nascent Soul cultivator."
otherwise.
Even their escape speed wouldn't be that fast.
"I wonder if the visitor's attitude is friendly or hostile?"
"However, with the ancestor guarding the sect, these Nascent Soul seniors should be somewhat wary!"
of course.
Cheng Changqing understood that this was because the news of the ancestor breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage had spread far and wide.
Otherwise, a strange Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't have appeared.
He frowned slightly, recalling the situation his ancestor had analyzed with him in the forbidden area of the back mountain half a month ago.
"The ancestor said that once the news gets out, someone will surely come to investigate."
Although he had anticipated this scene, he did not expect it to happen so quickly.
Similarly, Cheng Changqing was also clear about the purpose of these Nascent Soul cultivators coming to Baiyun Sect.
It's simply a matter of confirming the truth of the rumors that the ancestor broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
And the ancestor's attitude in the future.
The latter, in particular, is what these cunning Nascent Soul elders care about most.
In an instant.
A multitude of thoughts flashed through Cheng Changqing's mind.
Then, he raised his hand to tidy his sideburns, which had been ruffled by the wind.
The cloud patterns on his dark Taoist robe unfurled in the wind. With a light touch of his toes, he floated down like a falling leaf, a half-foot-long black and white light rising from beneath his feet as he flew outwards.
after all!
The arrival of a Nascent Soul cultivator is certainly not something to be treated with the slightest disrespect.
At the same time, Cheng Changqing was also curious about which faction was the first visitor at the Nascent Soul Realm.
After he passed through the outer barrier of the "Sect Protector Array", the view suddenly opened up before him.
The gate of light behind him slowly closed, turning into millions of starlight that dissipated, leaving only ripples of spiritual energy in the air.
at the same time.
As the sword light drew ever closer at the edge of the void, a sudden tightness gripped his throat—
The sword light did not shoot straight at us, but rather weaved through the clouds like a dragon, leaving pale blue sword marks wherever it passed, cutting spiderweb-like cracks into the originally clear sky.
"call out!"
With a soft hum, the sword light suddenly stopped ten feet in front of him.
At this moment, Cheng Changqing was also stunned by the sharp sword light.
By the time he realized what was happening, the sword light had vanished, replaced by a middle-aged man dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe, with an ancient longsword hanging at his waist. The scabbard was engraved with the words "Slaying Stars," the characters as if carved by a knife and axe.
The sharp aura emanating from his body even made the escape light beneath his feet sway.
However, in Cheng Changqing's eyes, the person standing before him at this moment was not a cultivator, but a terrifying immortal sword whose sharpness was sheathed, ready to be drawn once unsheathed...
It will surely unleash a dazzling and earth-shattering brilliance.
At the same time, in this very moment...
Cheng Changqing also confirmed the origin of the Nascent Soul senior in front of him.
In the cultivation world of the six kingdoms, and even in the dozen or so nearby cultivation worlds, only the cultivators of the Ancient Sword Sect have such terrifying swordsmanship.
In particular, he noticed the mark that was partially visible on the other person's cuff—
Those were three ancient swords stacked on top of each other, their tips pointing downwards, surrounded by nine cloud patterns.
At this moment, Cheng Changqing was even more certain.
"Senior, are you from the Ancient Sword Sect?" He stepped forward, bowed deeply, and his black Taoist robe fluttered in the wind.
The patriarch of the Ancient Sword Sect turned his head to the side, revealing sword-like eyebrows that reached his temples, eyes like cold stars, and a chilling aura swirling around him.
He nodded slightly: "Take me to see your ancestor."
Just as Cheng Changqing was about to lead the way, another terrifying wave suddenly came from the end of the void.
He turned his head sharply and saw another crimson-gold ray of light tearing through the clouds and crossing the void.
At the same time, the patriarch of the Ancient Sword Sect also stopped, turned around and looked at the end of the void, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Then, as if he had thought of something, a cold smile appeared in his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, an old man dressed in a black Taoist robe emerged from the crimson-gold glow.
The old man had a hooked nose and triangular eyes, and his words carried a hint of sinister intent.
"Oh my, isn't this Brother Wei, the 'Star-Slaying Sword' of the Ancient Sword Sect?"
How come you have time to visit Brother Cheng?
The Ancient Sword Sect's Elder Wei didn't even lift his eyelids; his voice was as cold as well water in the twelfth lunar month.
"What a coincidence?"
As they spoke, the patriarch of the Ancient Sword Sect glanced at a certain spot in the void, then turned his gaze back to the triangular-eyed old man, and said coldly:
"But you've come at the right time, as I happen to have a score to settle with you."
"Brother Wei, you jest." The old man in the black Taoist robe took a few steps back in mid-air and said with a forced smile:
"Our sect and the Ancient Sword Sect have always kept to themselves, so there's no grudge between us!"
Fellow Daoist Wei, you've definitely been set up.
What's more!
I have come today specifically to pay my respects to Elder Cheng of the White Cloud Sect and to discuss some cultivation insights.
"A misunderstanding?" The old ancestor surnamed Wei's gaze was like lightning.
"Last month, you ambushed and killed my Ancient Sword Sect's true disciples at Cangwu Mountain. Did you really think I was dead?"
The man with the triangular eyes' expression changed slightly, but then he put on a smile again.
“It was definitely not done by our sect.”
Moreover, your disciples are all sword cultivators skilled in offensive combat. How could my own disciples and grand-disciples possibly be a match for your true disciples?
however!
Before the triangular-eyed old man could finish speaking, Wei Zhenjun's "Star-Slaying" sword automatically drew three inches from its sheath at his waist, and a dark blue sword light suddenly appeared.
Cheng Changqing stood to the side, feeling the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.
As he gazed at the confrontation between the two Nascent Soul Realm experts, he suddenly recalled what the ancestor had said half a month ago:
"Which Nascent Soul cultivator isn't proud and arrogant?"
Their attack was a ruse; their real intention was to get the patriarch to intervene and test his strength.
"Now it seems that it was indeed true."
otherwise!
Why did these two Nascent Soul cultivators happen to meet at the mountain gate, especially since they had a grudge against each other not long ago?
"These events are all too coincidental!"
moment.
These thoughts surfaced in his mind.
Cheng Changqing looked at the two men who were about to clash, his Adam's apple bobbed, but he ultimately didn't dare to utter a sound.
He knew that the patriarch probably couldn't avoid this test today.
but!
Cheng Changqing wasn't too worried.
after all!
Our ancestor has indeed broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage!
at the same time.
This scene was also witnessed by Cheng Buzheng, who was in the forbidden area behind Baiyun Sect.
"It seems that the sword cultivators of the Ancient Sword Sect are getting worse with each generation."
"···"
