Chapter 255 Jade Lake’s Sacred Leader Visits Divine Firmament
Eastern Wilderness, at the Jade Lake Sacred Ground...
In the Sacred Leader Palace, a fine gauze barrier ran around the palace’s center.
A graceful figure could be seen lying lazily on a throne with rays of light shining on it through the fine gauze.
Meanwhile, Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Xiao Ling were standing in front of the throne and reporting the situation to the Jade Lake Sacred Leader.
“You mean the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, has pa.s.sed the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da’s test?”
The lady’s voice behind the fine gauze was cold and ethereal as if she was a G.o.ddess from heaven, which swayed one’s heart, but no one would dare to disrespect her.
This person was the Jade Lake Sacred Leader, one of the most powerful women in Eastern Wilderness.
Given her status, strength, and talent, countless mighty figures would give precedence to her. Many Sacred Leaders and elders of the 12 sacred grounds were the Jade Lake Sacred Leader’s admirers when they were young and infatuated with her.
Even now, they were still obsessively concerned with her.
It could be said that the Jade Lake Sacred Leader might not be the most powerful Sacred Leader in Eastern Wilderness, but she was definitely one of the Sacred Leaders that definitely should not be offended.
If someone really provoked her, then that person might be beaten by a group of Saint-level powerhouses to a pulp someday.
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance walked up and said, “Yes, according to reliable sources, Shen Tian has already handed the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, and they will allow everyone in the five regions to visit it.”
The Jade Lake Sacred Leader smiled and said, “Zhang Longyuan has really picked up a treasure. He’s able to bring so many benefits to the sacred ground in only a few months.”
Jade Lake and Divine Firmament were close in proximity and always had an intimate relationship. Many of their members had also become Dao companions. Therefore, once something happened in Divine Firmament, Jade Lake would always know at the first moment.
Conversely, if there was any gossip in Jade Lake, the Divine Firmament’s disciples would also know quickly.
The Jade Lake Sacred Leader had also heard rumors about the Divine Firmament Saint, and most of the rumors depicted him as quite the miraculous man.
Before entering the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, he had found the forbidden chapter of the Lightning Imperial Sutra, which had been lost for 10,000 years.
Just this merit alone was enough for Shen Tian to leave his name on the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Merit List.
Immediately after, that kid had plundered the den of a Vine Demon that nearly became a Saint-level powerhouse in the Fog Plain and reaped bountiful gains. He had even helped Xiao Ling find the Celestial Water Cave Abode.
In just a few short months, this kid had never stopped encountering fortuitous opportunities.
Even when compared to that kid, Qi Shaoxuan, from the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground, Shen Tian did not pale in comparison at all.
Such a disciple really made others envious!
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance continued. “Also, evil cultivators from the Evil Spirit Sect snuck into the Primordial Battlefield this time.
“Rumors say that they aimed to revive the Evil Spirit Lord a step away from Immortal Ascension that was sealed by the Reincarnation Sacred Leader 10,000 years ago. The Divine Firmament Saint thwarted their plan.
“What’s even more coincidental is that the Divine Firmament Saint’s teleportation talisman malfunctioned when he was in the process of teleporting back to the sect town.
“He directly teleported to the valley where the Evil Spirit Sect’s Sage Blood Kill was hidden and exposed him.
“If not, it would have been difficult to discover them with their concealment methods.”
The Jade Lake’s Sacred Leader stretched and slowly got up from her throne.
“It can’t be that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground will prosper because of him? Frankly speaking, I’m a little interested in this young man.
“Since the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had obtained such a treasure as the neighboring sacred ground, I naturally have to personally congratulate them and take a look.”
The fine gauze barrier was unveiled, and a gorgeous figure walked out from within. She was dignified and had a heavenly aura around her. She wore a face veil so her face could not be seen clearly, but that made her all the more mysterious.
“Junior Sister Scarlet Dance, call Junior Sister Snow Dance and Junior Sister Spirit Fog to visit the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground together.”
At the mountain behind Grand White Grotto-Heaven...
Li Changge was still practicing swordsmanship underneath the waterfall, and Supremacy Zi Yang was also beside him.
A middle-aged man stood upright beside the waterfall, and his whole body was emitting swift and fierce sword intent.
“Faster, swing faster!
“All sword techniques are all imaginary falsity to a swordsman, only by becoming faster, stronger, and sharper is the road to victory!
“Shen Ao actually missed the chance to be taught by me to spend time with his brother. He does not deserve my teaching.
“You must not learn from him! You need to know that the way of the sword is like sailing against the current, one must persevere till the end!”
Supremacy Zi Yang started complaining incessantly, I have already brought back Lian’er, but never did I expect that she would cause a racket as she wanted to go and find Shen Tian.
Senior Brother Long River flew into a rage and directly punished Lian’er to face the wall and plant the calabash, and he furiously decided to train me.
My disciple, Shen Ao, I feel so wronged! Supremacy Zi Yang sighed helplessly as he said, “Senior Brother, I heard that in this trial, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground obtained the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da from the Primordial Battlefield.
“Now that the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da is already in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, it is open to the five regions, and there are countless prodigy projections from the Mortal and Celestial Worlds.
“Given Senior Brother’s talent, if you enter the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da, you’ll definitely be able to defeat all the prodigies and become famous.
“Senior Brother, are you sure you don’t want to go to Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and take a look?”
Defeat all the prodigies and become famous?
Li Canglan’s eyes lit up.
If that’s the case, I won’t need to worry if there’s no one here to learn swordsmanship from me anymore!
Cough, cough! Li Canglan coughed slightly before he snorted and said, “How shallow! What do you mean become famous? Is that something we sword cultivators need to be concerned about?
“We only need the swords in our hands to slice through all obstacles and press forward with an indomitable will.
“If you’re tied down by fame and fortune, then don’t think of achieving the true Sword Dao in your whole life.”
Supremacy Zi Yang said, “What Senior Brother said is absolutely correct, I’m wrong.”
Li Canglan continued. “However, there are countless prodigy projections in the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da. It’s a good place to train one’s swordsmanship, Sword Dao, Heart of the Sword, and sword intent. “Zi Yang, Changge, I’ve been training you all this while, so it’s time for the both of you to try having battles with real prodigies.
“Follow me to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground this time and experience this treasure that has fallen from the Celestial World!”
After saying that, Heavenly Venerable Long River exuded a powerful sword intent that pierced through the layer of clouds. The scattered clouds gathered and formed a white cloud sword that was 10,000 feet in length, pointing directly toward the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!
The humongous white cloud sword was 30,000 miles long and could be seen from almost everywhere!
At that moment, a timid loli voice echoed from the side.
“Daddy, are-are you going to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground? “Could you bring me along?”
His sword intent instantly dispersed.
The G.o.d of War PaG.o.da appeared in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, which stirred Eastern Wilderness’ various major sects. Those that were close to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, such as Jade Lake Sacred Ground and Grand White Grotto-Heaven, had already directly visited to congratulate them. Those who were further or had an average relationship with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground were still observing.
Meanwhile, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Shen Tian were still within the lightning purgatory.
The lightning whip lashing the “brave and fearless” red-robed Sect Master was a sight for sore eyes for Shen Tian.
Surprisingly, the heavenly aura around the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader stayed calm all along. “Blood Kill, do you really think that I can’t do anything to you?”
The red-robed Sect Master scoffed. “Just do what you can then! I am a member of the Evil Spirit Sect, and I’ll die as the Evil Spirit Sect’s ghost. Even if you whip me 30,000 times, I definitely won’t betray the Evil Spirit Sect.”
The Sacred Leader shook his head before he gradually lifted his right hand and gripped the air. Then, all the lightning whips instantly disappeared.
“I am aware due to the special cultivation technique that you’re practicing, you can increase your strength by being continuously attacked. To you, these whips are not painful at all. You can even turn all of it into pleasure thanks to your const.i.tution.” The red-robed Sect Master sneered. “So what if you know? Just use all the tortures possible on me!”
The Sacred Leader looked at the red-robed Sect Master calmly. “Since you’re not afraid of pain, I will naturally not waste time.
“How about we make a bet? 15 minutes, I’ll make you confess everything within 15 minutes.”
The red-robed Sect Master suddenly felt a shiver down his back when he looked at the extremely cold Sacred Leader that was enshrouded within the heavenly aura. It was as if something bad was about to happen.
