Terran Guardian - Chapter 3804

Chapter 3780 Re-establishing the Sect

Hao Yang acted swiftly.

A small, scattered force of rogue cultivators was insignificant to the Fuyao Holy Land.

However, to demonstrate his seriousness about the matter, he personally intervened, using overwhelming power to wipe out all the rogue cultivators.

This news didn’t cause much of a stir in Guangyu Prefecture.

After all, Guangyu Prefecture had numerous cultivators, and it was common for cultivators to fall every moment.

Moreover, according to the information from the Fuyao Holy Land, these rogue cultivators had murdered Fuyao Holy Land cultivators, thus inviting their own destruction.

Of course,

Hao Yang’s personal intervention attracted some attention, but that was all.

Afterwards,

Hao Yang gifted the immortal mountain to Ji Kong and others as the founding site of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

He had some understanding of the Lingxiao Sword

Sect. A top-tier force in the Supreme Immortal Realm, but it was destroyed by the Dark Cult, leaving only a small number of cultivators alive.

To be honest…

If an ordinary cultivator heard of the Dark Cult’s reputation, they might be somewhat wary.

But for Hao Yang, the Dark Cult posed little threat.

The reason was simple:

this was Dongming Immortal Continent!

As one of the four ancient immortal continents, its foundation was unfathomable. Despite the Dark Cult stirring up trouble and causing much turmoil in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, it would never dare to act recklessly in Dongming Immortal Continent.

In contrast,

the existence of the Lingxiao Sword Sect surprised Hao Yang.

After all, such an ancient lineage with the foundation of a Great Sage was something even the Fuyou Sacred Land could look up to.

Now,

the fact that his ancestor was connected to such a force made Hao Yang feel even more that the other party was unfathomable.

Therefore, Hao Yang naturally did his best in everything.   As

for whether he had any ideas about the Lingxiao Sword Sect’s legacy,   Hao Yang had none at all.   It wasn’t that he wasn’t tempted by the foundation of such a top-tier force, but because Shen Changqing was present, he dared not have any such thoughts.   Otherwise…   If Hao Yang were to learn of the Lingxiao Sword Sect’s existence, it would be impossible for him to remain inactive.   Despite the long history of the Fuyao Holy Land’s heritage, no true half-saint has yet emerged. Compared to other long-lived forces, the Holy Land’s foundation is far inferior.   To absorb the Lingxiao Sword Sect’s entire foundation would be a meteoric rise.   However—   with Shen Changqing present—   Hao Yang naturally wouldn’t entertain such thoughts.   Undeniably,   the Lingxiao Sword Sect’s heritage is valuable, but the Fuyao Holy Land must be able to afford it.   He was certain that   if he attacked the Lingxiao Sword Sect, Shen Changqing would wipe out the entire Fuyao Holy Land.   Hao Yang wouldn’t do something so thankless. Besides,   as long as the Fuyao Holy Land clung to that person’s coattails, further advancement would be guaranteed.   Shen Changqing had casually bestowed upon him the Vermilion Bird Technique, greatly increasing his strength; such an ancient being must possess numerous inheritances.   Therefore   …   Haoyang naturally wouldn’t covet the inheritance of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.   …   ”From this day forward, this shall be the Lingxiao Mountain Range, the home of my Lingxiao Sword Sect!”   Atop the immortal mountain, Ji Kong surveyed the vast mountain range below, exhaling all the turbid air from his chest, his eyes as resolute as ever.   This immortal mountain was naturally far inferior to the original Lingxiao Sword Sect’s mountain gate.   But it must be understood that   the Lingxiao Sword Sect was once a top sect in the Tongyuan Domain. Now, all the powerful members of the Lingxiao Sword Sect had perished, leaving only a few disciples who had survived by chance, their strength greatly diminished.   Normally, with the current strength of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, at best, it could only sit at the same table as sects in the mid-level immortal domains. Whether it could even gain a foothold in the high-level immortal domains was a question, let alone the Xingluo Immortal Domain before it.   Moreover,   as one of the four ancient immortal states, the immortal domain foundation of the Dongming Immortal State was unmatched by any other immortal state.   The cultivation environment of the immortal mountain before him was of superior quality, more than enough to serve as the foundation of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.   ”Thanks to Senior Brother Ji, otherwise it would have been impossible for our Lingxiao Sword Sect to establish a foundation in the Star Luo Immortal Domain!”   The speaker was a young cultivator beside Ji Kong named Yan Fu, also a true disciple of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, belonging to the First Peak.   The difference was that   Ji Kong was a direct disciple of Jiang Daoyuan, while Yan Fu was an ordinary true disciple of the First Peak.   However,   to be a true disciple,   Yan Fu’s aptitude and strength were not simple. He   was at the peak of the Ancient Immortal realm!   He also had the hope of reaching the Immortal Emperor realm in the future.   Upon hearing this, Ji Kong smiled faintly, “Thanks to Master’s intervention, otherwise it wouldn’t have been so easy for us to establish a foundation here.   Next, what we need to do is find a way to contact other fellow disciples and then revitalize the Lingxiao Sword Sect.   As for the Dark Cult, we can only settle accounts with them slowly in the future!”   As he spoke the last sentence, a murderous aura emanated from Ji Kong.   The Dark Cult!   This grudge must be settled.   However, Ji Kong also knew that the Dark Cult was powerful, backed by the unfathomable Dark Lord.   Even the former Lingxiao Sword Sect kept the existence of the latter a closely guarded secret.   Such a powerful   figure was not to be underestimated.   Let alone the Dark Lord, even the Immortal God Cult was beyond the Lingxiao Sword Sect’s ability to handle.   It should be noted   that the Immortal God Cult was merely one of many Dark Cults.   This demonstrated just how astonishing the Dark Cult’s power truly was.   Revenge would certainly not be easy.   As for asking Shen Changqing for help, he had no such intention.   Not only was this a matter for the Lingxiao Sword Sect, but he absolutely could not involve his master.

Furthermore,

the Immortal Cult is powerful.

Even if Shen Changqing is strong, he cannot possibly oppose the entire Immortal Cult.

Therefore,

Ji Kong never intended to involve Shen Changqing in this matter.

In his view, it was enough that the latter had found a place for the Lingxiao Sword Sect to stay; the rest was for the Lingxiao Sword Sect to handle.

Yan Fu nodded: “Speaking of which, Senior Brother ascended from the lower realm. How could you have a master-disciple relationship with that Senior Bodhi? Could it be that he also ascended from the lower realm?” Yan

Fu had long been curious about this.

After all, a mysterious powerhouse, and one who clearly possessed a strong foundation, capable of commanding the service of a force like the Fuyou Holy Land, was certainly not an ordinary rogue cultivator.

However, in Yan Fu’s opinion, the possibility of him ascending from the lower realm was actually quite small.

You see ,

when Ji Kong came from the lower realm, he was only at the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Ancient Immortals have limited lifespans, so if he and Shen Changqing were related from the lower realm, it meant that the latter’s ascension time was not very long ago.

For that senior Bodhi to reach this level in such a short time is simply unbelievable.

To this,

Ji Kong remained calm: “Shortly after I ascended to the Upper Realm, I was fortunate enough to meet my master and become his disciple. Later, due to some reasons, my master left, so I only joined the Lingxiao Sword Sect by chance.”

“I see!”

Yan Fu’s expression immediately cleared up.

This explanation made things clear.

Although Yan Fu didn’t know that Ji Kong possessed the Innate Golden Spirit Immortal Body, this senior brother had been in the sect for over ten million years and had already reached the level of a half-step Immortal Emperor, suppressing his peers with his strength—enough to show that he was truly astonishing. It was understandable that

such a prodigy would be noticed by other powerful figures.

Seeing this,

Ji Kong didn’t say much more.

He naturally remembered Shen Changqing’s instructions.

Since that person couldn’t reveal their identity, Ji Kong naturally wouldn’t reveal it either, not even to his fellow disciples.

Afterwards,

Ji Kong began to rebuild the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

One hundred and thirty-six cultivators from various sects escaped from the Immortal God Sect.

Among them, he was their leader.

Therefore,   Ji

Kong naturally became the sect master of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.   He also didn’t change the sect’s name.   There were simply too many names like Lingxiao Sword Sect in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm; nothing special.   Besides ,   Ji Kong didn’t want to change the sect’s name; he wanted to restore the Lingxiao Sword Sect’s fame in the future.   A month later,   the sect’s grand ceremony began.   Many forces came after hearing the news.   Their reason for coming wasn’t because of the Lingxiao Sword Sect’s reputation, but because of the existence of the Fuyou Holy Land.   The emergence of this new sect, coupled with the recent annihilation of the local rogue cultivators by the Fuyou Holy Land, made it clear to everyone that the two were closely related.   They came to investigate.   Ji Kong responded calmly   to this .   ”The Fuyou Holy Land has arrived!”   A cultivator’s voice suddenly rang out, abruptly silencing the clamor of the ceremony. All the cultivators turned to look in the direction of the sound, only to see a cultivator slowly approaching.   Upon seeing the newcomer, the pupils of the other cultivators constricted again.   ”Ye Changge!”   ”The Fuyou Holy Land actually sent a Celestial Emperor in person!”   At this moment,   all the rumors were completely confirmed.   The Lingxiao Sword Sect indeed had a close relationship with the Fuyou Holy Land.   Otherwise,   why would the Fuyou Holy Land send anyone to this sect’s grand ceremony, let alone have a Celestial Emperor attend in person?   It should be noted that   Ye Changge was the second peak master of the Fuyou Holy Land, second only to the Holy Lord Haoyang, making him the second most powerful figure in the Fuyou Holy Land.   His presence largely determined the attitude of the Fuyou Holy Land.   At this moment…   Ji Kong stepped forward, cupped his hands, and smiled, “Peak Master Ye’s presence is truly a great honor! I have failed   to greet you properly!” “Haha, Sect Master Ji, you are too kind. How could the Fuyao Holy Land not attend the Lingxiao Sword Sect’s grand ceremony ? However, our Holy Lord had some unforeseen matters to attend to and was unable to attend, so he sent me to offer my congratulations.   Furthermore, I have not prepared anything special; this is merely a seventh-order array formation, which serves as a gift from the Fuyao Holy Land.   After all, I observe that the Lingxiao Sword Sect lacks nothing in all aspects except for a sect-protecting array formation. I hope Sect Master Ji will not find it distasteful.”   As he finished speaking, Ye Changge had already taken out a storage ring and handed it to Ji Kong.   The latter’s smile widened even more: “Peak Master Ye’s generous gift is truly undeserved. Please, Peak Master Ye, take a seat!”   ”Please!”   …   On the other side, upon hearing Ye Changge’s words, the other cultivators were once again deeply shaken.   A seventh-order array formation!   The Fuyao Holy Land’s generosity was truly astounding!   This was the only thought in their minds.
