Terran Guardian - Chapter 3805

Chapter 3781 Li Qiantu

Inside the secret chamber of the Immortal Palace.

Ji Kong sat cross-legged on a futon, a treasure of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, once used by a saint, imbued with the saint’s Dao aura. Ordinary cultivators could more easily comprehend the power of the Great Dao while cultivating on it.

Now,

Ji Kong’s entire attention was focused on a storage ring.

This storage ring was no ordinary treasure; it was itself a Primordial Emperor Weapon, a true heirloom of the First Peak, named Three Thousand Realms.

Its only function was storage.

However, due to the special nature of the Three Thousand Realms, the heirlooms of the First Peak throughout history were mostly stored here.

Now,

these things

were in Ji Kong’s hands.

Under his divine sense, he saw that the Three Thousand Realms contained a vast space, densely packed with numerous cultivation resources.

Many ancient immortal and immortal emperor heirs existed, even half-saint heirs.

Other resources, such as immortal herbs, rare treasures, cultivation pills, and immortal stones, were countless.

Although Ji Kong had possessed the Three Thousand Realms for a long time, he was still secretly astonished every time he saw the cultivation resources contained in this storage ring.

“The cultivation resources of the Three Thousand Realms represent the accumulation of the First Peak over countless eons. The reason the Immortal God Sect pursued us so relentlessly was because of these cultivation resources.

With such a batch of resources, the sect can use them for many years!”

Ji Kong thought to himself.

The original Lingxiao Sword Sect had five peaks, and although the First Peak was only one of them, its heritage and foundation were extraordinary.

Jiang Daoyuan, the former peak master of the First Peak, naturally held the lifeline of the First Peak.

Now,

the accumulation of the First Peak over countless years was entirely in his hands.

Such cultivation resources were enough to allow the Lingxiao Sword Sect to produce another batch of Immortal Emperors, and even to cultivate several Half-Saints in the future.

However,

to become a Half-Saint,

one must wait for the Great Tribulation to arrive.

Without the Great Tribulation,

it is difficult to become a Half-Saint.

This is a limitation imposed by the rules of Heaven, which no one can break.

Thinking of this…

Ji Kong closed his eyes and silently cultivated.

His primary goal now was to solidify his foundation as much as possible, preparing for his later attempt to break through to the Ancient Immortal Stele.

Originally ,

Ji Kong planned to accumulate experience before attempting to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

However, after hearing Shen Changqing’s words, he had other ideas. He

would break through to the

Immortal Emperor realm! He would also fight for the opportunity of the Ancient Immortal Stele!

Although he didn’t know where his master got such confidence, Ji Kong still chose to believe.

—

“Reporting to the Elder, Mo Qianqiu’s soul lamp has been extinguished, and his chances of survival are slim!”

Inside a celestial palace, a middle-aged cultivator reported with a fearful expression to a red-robed cultivator above him.

The latter’s expression was indifferent, and upon hearing this news, a chilling glint flashed in his eyes.

“Mo Qianqiu… If I remember correctly, he was responsible for hunting down the remnants of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, wasn’t he?”

“The people that Hall Master Mo was responsible for hunting down were cultivators from the first peak of the Lingxiao Sword Sect. The leader of these cultivators was named Ji Kong, a personal disciple of Jiang Daoyuan.

I’ve heard that this cultivator has unparalleled talent, and in just a few million years, he’s already halfway to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Jiang Daoyuan values him highly, grooming him as the future peak master of the first peak.

Later, during our battle to besiege the Lingxiao Sword Sect, Jiang Daoyuan risked his life to send him out of the Lingxiao Sword Sect. Hall Master Mo was ordered to hunt him down, but unexpectedly, he suddenly perished—”

The cultivator reported truthfully, daring not to conceal anything.

Upon hearing this, Li Qiantu’s expression turned icy: “Jiang Daoyuan’s personal disciple… Speaking of which, when we destroyed the Lingxiao

Sword Sect and searched for cultivation opportunities on the First Peak, we seemed to have gained very little. So, this boy must be hiding the Lingxiao

Sword Sect’s resources. Otherwise, how could an ant below the Immortal Emperor realm have the qualifications to kill Mo Qianqiu!”

The weakest hall masters of the Immortal Divine Sect are all at the Immortal Emperor realm.

Mo Qianqiu’s strength is also considerable among the hall masters.

A late-stage Immortal Emperor!

Such strength is naturally insignificant against some ancient beings.

But dealing with ants who haven’t even reached the Immortal Emperor realm is definitely not a problem.

According to the other party, the strongest cultivators of the Lingxiao Sword Sect are only half-step Immortal Emperors; how could they have the strength to kill Mo Qianqiu?

Unless…

the other party used the Lingxiao Sword Sect’s resources.

“Elder, do you think there’s more to Master Mo’s death than meets the eye?”

“A half-step Immortal Emperor defeating a late-stage Immortal Emperor? That’s impossible! Perhaps only the Xuan Tian Sword Master, before attaining Immortal Emperor status, could truly achieve that.

But the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm only has one Xuan Tian Sword Master; there’s no chance of a second.

Therefore, Mo Qianqiu’s demise must have other reasons. The Lingxiao Sword Sect has been passed down for countless years; they wouldn’t lack such trump cards to kill an Immortal Emperor.”

Li Qiantu sneered.

His words shocked the cultivator.

Xuan Tian Sword Master Shen Changqing!

This name was legendary.

Reaching the Immortal Emperor’s Monument!

Fighting against six sects, nine dynasties, and thirteen holy lands in the Divine Sun Domain, slaying numerous half-saints, and severely injuring the Eternal Heavenly Emperor.

Such achievements were enough to make him famous everywhere.

The Immortal God Sect, as one of the dark sects, had long heard of such a powerful figure.

Just then…

Li Qiantu’s divine sense stirred slightly, and he began to calculate with his right hand, various Daoist principles flowing through his fingertips, as if he could manipulate the river of time and glimpse the past, present, and future.

But after a moment, Li Qiantu paused in his calculations, a strange expression appearing on his face.

“The secrets of heaven are shrouded in mystery, impossible to deduce. Mo Qianqiu’s death could be due to either a supreme treasure concealing the truth, or the intervention of a powerful figure far stronger than myself, which is why it’s impossible to deduce.

It seems… that remnant of the Lingxiao Sword Sect truly possesses a great treasure!”

As Li Qiantu finished speaking, a greedy glint appeared in his eyes.

Two possibilities.

He naturally leaned towards the former.

He was joking.

He was a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint; if there were any powerful figures even he couldn’t deduce the secrets of heaven, they would at least be Saints.

If the Lingxiao Sword Sect truly still had a living Saint, how could they have gone to such lengths?

The reason the Lingxiao Sword Sect was destroyed was because after Jiang Ya’s fall, there were no more Great Saints or Saints left, only a few ancient Half-Saints.

If the Lingxiao Sword Sect had even one peak Saint, destroying it would have been difficult.

After all,

the price of killing a peak Saint was simply too high.

Paying such a high price to destroy the Lingxiao Sword Sect was naturally not worthwhile.

Ultimately,

the destruction of the Lingxiao Sword Sect was due to its significantly weakened strength.

Therefore,

Li Qiantu naturally didn’t believe that the Lingxiao Sword Sect still had a Saint alive.

Since there was no Saint, there was only one possibility.

With this thought…

Li Qiantu coldly ordered, “Investigate! Investigate at all costs! I must find the traces of those remnants of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

Also… what’s the situation with the other remnants of the Lingxiao Sword Sect?”

“Most of the remnants of the Lingxiao Sword Sect have been killed, but a very small number are still on the run. However, judging from the current situation, they won’t be able to hold out for much longer.”

“Good. Remember, leave no one alive from the Lingxiao Sword Sect. Also, the whereabouts of those remnants must be found!”

Li Qiantu nodded slightly, then repeated the instruction.

A treasure capable of concealing heavenly secrets is definitely not as simple as a Primordial Emperor Weapon.

Moreover,

the other party might possess the entire inheritance of the First Peak.

This is a tremendous temptation for Li Qiantu.

It should be known that of

the five peaks of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, the First Peak has the most profound foundation.

At the peak of the First Peak, not to mention half-saints, even saints and great saints had appeared.

How could Li Qiantu not be tempted by such a foundation?

If he could obtain the inheritance of the First Peak, he might even have a chance to break through the semi-saint barrier and reach the saint level.

At his level, every step forward was incredibly difficult.

Li Qiantu wouldn’t miss any opportunity for a breakthrough.

The problem was that

the Immortal God Cult wasn’t the only force among the dark cults that destroyed the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

And now, the forces searching for the remnants of the Lingxiao Sword Sect weren’t just the Immortal God Cult.

Perhaps

other forces were also secretly watching.

At this time, whoever found the remnants first was most likely to seize that opportunity.

Therefore,

Li Qiantu couldn’t fall behind.

—In

fact,

when the Immortal God Cult made its move, the other dark cults did the same.

The combined forces destroyed the Lingxiao Sword Sect, turning the entire sect upside down, and dividing up all the resources accumulated over countless years.

Because of this, all forces suspected that the Lingxiao Sword Sect disciples who broke through carried a large amount of cultivation resources.

Otherwise…

An ancient sect passed down from the distant past is definitely more than just this.

To find the whereabouts of the many remnants of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, various forces have mobilized considerable resources, and the Immortal God Sect is just one of them.

Although Mo Qianqiu was an Immortal Emperor of the Immortal God Sect, news of his demise spread like wildfire.

In an instant,

the name Ji Kong came into the sights of many forces.

“Ji Kong… a prodigy of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, the personal disciple of Jiang Daoyuan, the First Peak Master!”

“A mere ten million years after ascension, he has already reached the half-step Immortal Emperor realm—”

“This boy was able to kill an Immortal Emperor of the Immortal God Sect; he must possess a great opportunity!”

Various dark sects were all intrigued and then mobilized their forces, determined to find Ji Kong.

A prodigy who had already reached the half-step Immortal Emperor realm after more than ten million years of ascension—if he didn’t die one day, he might become a considerable threat.

Moreover,

he also seemed to possess the resources of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

From any perspective, Ji Kong must die.

A prodigy must be eliminated!

They also absolutely must obtain the resources of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

Otherwise,

all the effort they expended to annihilate the Lingxiao Sword Sect, only to gain little in return, would be a complete waste.

It wasn’t just the Dark Cult acting this way; some local forces in the Tongyuan Domain were also eager to act upon hearing this news.
