Chapter 4161: The Three Major Forces of the Star Ruins Immortal Realm

The world has undergone a dramatic change.

Many forces remained silent for a short time.

However,

some forces quickly reacted and began to try to resist the longevity forces that had previously oppressed them.

Previously, they bowed their heads because the longevity forces had half-saints, or even stronger beings, in charge.

Their own forces were shallow, at most possessing some Immortal Emperors, and naturally had no right to challenge the longevity forces.

But now it’s different.

The world has changed dramatically.

The rules are

suppressing everything. Whether you’re a half-saint or a saint, everyone is equal before the rules.

At this time, who would willingly have a mountain pressing down on them?

Before the change, if you oppressed me, I wouldn’t complain.

After the change, if you still oppress me, isn’t that a waste?

Therefore,

many forces attempted to resist and declared war on the longevity forces.

The longevity forces naturally wouldn’t tolerate these rebellious forces.

After all, if such a trend wasn’t suppressed, even more forces would rebel later.

A single punch now

prevents a hundred punches later!

Therefore, the numerous immortal forces naturally wouldn’t back down.

However—

the idea was good,

but the reality was cruel.

While the immortal forces possessed formidable foundations, the drastic changes in the world and the suppression of such rules meant that even half-saints and above couldn’t exert much power.

Under these circumstances, they could suppress one or two Immortal Emperor forces.

But with many, it was a different story.

When an Immortal Emperor force directly withstood the might of the immortal forces, the others, like hyenas smelling blood, immediately swarmed forward.

After all, if an Immortal Emperor force could withstand the might of the immortal forces,

it meant the latter were extremely weak.

If they didn’t act now, when would they?

As for any reckoning after the drastic changes, that was insignificant.

As long as they wiped out these immortal forces before the drastic changes subsided, that was enough.

Therefore

, in just over half a month, more than a dozen immortal forces were destroyed in the Star Luo Immortal Domain alone.

This information reached Shen Changqing. Inside

the Cangwu Palace.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Yang Daoxu said in a deep voice, “Since the upheaval of heaven and earth, many forces have taken advantage of this opportunity to overthrow the immortal forces that were suppressing them, and then divided up all their resources.

Now, although other forces under our sect haven’t made many moves, some forces from other regions have their eyes on Taiyuan Prefecture, intending to do something unethical!”

Since the appearance of a top-grade immortal vein in Taiyuan Prefecture, this place is no longer comparable to an ordinary prefecture.

In the past, the Seven Profound Dao Sect was powerful and suppressed all sides.

Even if other forces had some ideas, they dared not act rashly.

But now it’s different.

Heaven and earth have changed drastically.

All immortals are suppressed by the rules.

In this way, in the eyes of many forces, this is the weakest time for the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Without the suppression of half-saint level combat power, only the foundation of the Immortal Emperor level is being compared. Although the Seven Profound Dao Sect is still worthy of fear, it is not unshakeable.

Most importantly,

the Seven Profound Dao Sect has a lot of resources at its disposal.

Having successively crushed and destroyed numerous immortal forces, and being the chosen one of Taiyuan Prefecture, its foundation is comparable to many immortal forces with billions of years of history, completely on par.

If they could destroy the Seven Profound Dao Sect and divide its resources, it would be enough to make all the forces involved extremely wealthy.

Shen Changqing asked calmly, “Which forces want to make a move?”

“According to the intelligence we have, twenty-three forces are secretly watching. The three leading forces are the Great Luo Immortal Court of the Star Ruins Immortal Domain, the Broken River Sword Sect, and the Emperor Luan Demon Court.

They have sent many spies into Taiyuan Prefecture recently, even attempting to incite other forces in Taiyuan Prefecture to attack.

However, our sect’s prestige in Taiyuan Prefecture is already deeply ingrained; they cannot be easily swayed,”

Yang Daoxu stated truthfully.

The Great Luo Immortal Court!

Upon hearing this name, Shen Changqing’s expression shifted slightly.

He was naturally familiar with this power.

Speaking of which,

he had quite a few grudges with the Great Luo Immortal Court.

However, those grudges occurred during the Heavenly Dao Battlefield. After leaving the Heavenly Dao Battlefield, numerous events followed, and Shen Changqing didn’t immediately settle accounts with the Great Luo Immortal Court.

But now it seems the Great Luo Immortal Court has been keeping a close eye on the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Otherwise

, they wouldn’t have made a move so quickly.

“What are the strengths of the Broken River Sword Sect and the Emperor Luan Demon Court?”

Shen Changqing didn’t ask about the Great Luo Immortal Court; he had some understanding of that force, but his knowledge of the remaining two major forces was limited.

Yang Daoxu said, “The Broken River Sword Sect once had a Saint in ancient times, enjoying immense power and suppressing many forces in the Star Ruins Immortal Domain.

After that Saint perished, the Broken River Sword Sect gradually declined. Although it still retains some prestige, it is far less powerful than before.”

“As for the Emperor Phoenix Demon Court, it was once just an insignificant small force in the Star Ruins Immortal Domain.

But thirteen Immortal Emperor eras ago, the Emperor Phoenix Demon Court produced a peerless genius. It is said that he possessed a fragmented Supreme Bloodline, and his cultivation was divinely aided.

Thirteen Immortal Emperor eras later, he had already reached the peak of the Half-Saint realm.

Because of this Half-Saint’s existence, the Emperor Phoenix Demon Court’s strength greatly increased, and now it has become one of the top forces in the Star Ruins Immortal Domain.

Even the Broken River Sword Sect, and even the Great Luo Immortal Court, might not be able to consistently suppress the Emperor Phoenix Demon Court!”

Thirteen Immortal Emperor eras!

Top-tier Half-Saint!

Such talent is undoubtedly top-tier.

You must know…

A complete Saint’s bloodline is enough to rival an Innate bloodline.

And a Supreme bloodline goes without saying.

Even a fragmented Supreme bloodline is not to be underestimated.

If one could find some fortuitous opportunities, reaching this level wouldn’t be surprising.

At this moment, Qingmu spoke up: “Although the various forces are currently probing, they haven’t made many moves yet. I believe we shouldn’t act rashly. It would be better

to wait until they truly unite and then find a way to wipe them out in one fell swoop.” Wipe them out

in one fell swoop!

That would create a tremendous deterrent!

As for whether the Seven Profound Dao Sect could handle the twenty-three forces, Qingmu was quite confident.

After all, the person before him was someone who had once reached the top of the Immortal Emperor’s Stele.

In the Immortal Emperor realm, almost no one could rival his strength.

As long as this sect leader didn’t die, the twenty-three forces wouldn’t be able to shake the foundation of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Hearing this,

the other cultivators nodded slightly, agreeing with Qingmu’s approach. The twenty-three forces are too scattered. It would be more

practical to wait for them to unite and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Besides,

although they are making some moves in secret, they haven’t made any open attacks. If the Seven Profound Dao Sect were to act recklessly, it would inevitably give others cause for criticism. Although the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm values strength above all else, and as long as one’s fist is strong enough, one can fear nothing, the problem is that the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s current strength is not enough to sweep everything away. If it were to act recklessly and other forces sensed the threat and unite, that would be a huge problem. Having a legitimate reason for attacking! These four words are quite useful at times. Shen Changqing shook his head: “It’s too late. We don’t have any more time to wait.” “What does the Sect Master mean by this?” Yang Daoxu and the others were slightly taken aback, not understanding the meaning behind his words. Shen Changqing said, “Not long ago, the Tai Xuan Sword Venerable of the Jiang family personally came to the sect to discuss with me the matter. We decided to launch a military campaign against the Donghua Immortal Realm a month later to destroy the Taiyi Immortal Sect. Now, more than half of that month has passed. If we were to launch a full-scale attack, the sect would be vulnerable. Other forces, upon learning of this, would certainly take advantage of the situation. We now face two paths: either resolve the threat first and then launch a full-scale attack to destroy the Taiyi Immortal Sect , or abandon the attack on the Taiyi Immortal Sect to stabilize the sect’s foundation!” Shen Changqing’s words caused the expressions of the cultivators present to change drastically. This news was extremely shocking to them. If Shen Changqing hadn’t spoken it, no one would have imagined that he had already reached an agreement with the Jiang family to destroy the Taiyi Immortal Sect. Yang Daoxu was stunned for a long time before he finally reacted, his tone clearly hesitant and uncertain. “The Taiyi Immortal Sect’s foundation is unfathomable. To annihilate it won’t be so easy—” The dramatic changes in the world have indeed greatly weakened the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s strength. But a supreme power is still a supreme power. Moreover, the Taiyi Immortal Sect is no ordinary supreme power. A power of this level is far stronger than the likes of the Divine Sun Immortal Court. To truly destroy the Taiyi Immortal Sect is destined to be no simple matter. If they fail , the consequences are simply unimaginable. However— just as Yang Daoxu finished speaking, Ji Yang had a different opinion. “Peak Master Yang, you are mistaken. Our sect and the Taiyi Immortal Sect have long been sworn enemies. In the previous battle in the Eastern Hua Immortal Domain, many powerful figures of the Taiyi Immortal Sect perished, even that Dao Ancestor shed blood. In addition, with the current upheaval of the world, the Taiyi Immortal Sect is actually at its weakest. This is the best time for us to strike. Otherwise, once the upheaval ends and the Taiyi Immortal Sect recovers, it will not be so easy for us to destroy them.” ” Furthermore—” Ji Yang paused, then continued. “At that time, our sect will depend on the Jiang family for survival. Who can guarantee that the Jiang family can truly resist the Taiyi Immortal Sect then? If the Jiang family falls, our sect will surely have no way to survive. Rather than waiting for the end of the cataclysmic change and relying on the Jiang family for survival, it ‘s better to seize the opportunity presented by the cataclysmic change and take the initiative into our own hands. In the end, our sect’s foundation is too shallow. To confront such supreme forces head-on, even with billions of years of accumulation, we would still be far behind, if not for this opportunity presented by the cataclysmic change!” Ji Yang’s words were very straightforward, and the other cultivators understood this reasoning perfectly. The biggest problem for the Seven Profound Dao Sect right now is its short history, less than a Celestial King Era. Compared to those supreme forces with billions of years of history, it’s utterly insignificant. Let alone billions of years, even trillions or hundreds of billions of years, it’s still a pipe dream for the Seven Profound Dao Sect to truly rival the Taiyi Immortal Sect. Therefore, they had to admit that Ji Yang’s words were quite profound. The world is undergoing a dramatic change; this is their only chance in the short term to directly confront the Taiyi Immortal Sect. Once missed, it will be difficult to have another opportunity. Although the Jiang family has a good relationship with the Seven Profound Dao Sect, relying on the Jiang family for survival is not shameful. But— if given the chance to control their own destiny, who would willingly entrust their life and death to someone else? Rather than relying on the Jiang family, they should take charge themselves! Gu Qingyang said in a deep voice, “Peak Master Ji’s suggestion is the same as mine. This opportunity is once in a lifetime. After all, there is no possibility of reconciliation between us and the Taiyi Immortal Sect. We cannot rest easy until the Taiyi Immortal Sect is destroyed. Even if there is only a sliver of a chance to destroy the Taiyi Immortal Sect, we must seize it. Moreover, judging from the current situation, our side has a considerable chance of winning by joining forces with the Jiang family!”

“I share the same view!”

Gu Chen quickly followed up.

After all, Gu Qingyang had agreed, so he had no reason to disagree.

Currently, the twelve peaks of the Seven Profound Dao Sect were secretly divided into different factions.

Falling Star Peak was the weakest, but it had a close relationship with Zhaoyao Peak, and Gu Chen always supported Gu Qingyang.

After Gu Chen spoke, the other cultivators pondered for a moment, and most nodded in agreement.

Only a few, including Yang Daoxu, remained cautious.

But they also knew that

the tide was not on their side.

Their opinions could hardly influence the overall situation of the sect.

Sure enough,

after many cultivators spoke, Shen Changqing made his decision directly.

“Then let’s fight!”

“There’s still plenty of time. If we act quickly, we can resolve these troublesome forces.

I will personally deal with the Great Luo Immortal Court, the Broken River Sword Sect, and the Emperor Luan Demon Court.

The remaining twenty forces will be dealt with jointly by the Twelve Peaks.

In addition, the many elders of the Offering Hall are at the command of the Twelve Peaks. I

have only one request: within ten days, all forces must be eliminated, leaving no one alive.

I want other forces to tremble at the mere mention of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, completely dispelling any such inappropriate thoughts!”

Shen Changqing’s face was cold and stern, his words filled with chilling killing intent.

Upon hearing this,

Yang Daoxu, Gu Qingyang, and the others exchanged glances and then bowed in unison to accept the order.

“We will obey the Sect Master’s command!”

…

Ten days.

It was a very tight timeframe.

Therefore,

after leaving the Cangwu Hall, each peak dared not delay and immediately mobilized all available forces, launching successive attacks to annihilate the twenty forces.

However—

to save time, no one mobilized any forces outside the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

While there were quite a few forces currently affiliated with the Seven Profound Dao Sect, mobilizing all sides within ten days was clearly too late.

Fortunately,

the numerous half-saints in the Offering Hall could be mobilized, giving the various peaks considerable confidence.

Although the world was undergoing drastic changes and the strength of half-saints was suppressed, a half-saint was still a half-saint. Even if they had fallen to the Immortal Emperor level, their strength was still far beyond that of ordinary Immortal Emperors.

Any long-lived half-saint was considered a formidable force among top-tier Immortal Emperors.

Dealing with ordinary forces was certainly more than enough.
