60: Immortal Sect Compensation
"What an arrogant madman!"
An Old Ancestor stepped forward, looking at Chen Xu with no trace of a smile on his face.
"This Venerable declares this child to be deeply demonic. Immediately abolish his cultivation, cast him into the Nine Nether Purgatory, and he shall never reincarnate!"
He directly sentenced Chen Xu to death.
Facing the encirclement of over ten Nascent Soul Ancestors, facing this certain death situation.
Chen Xu's face, however, showed no trace of fear.
Instead, he laughed.
"Hahahaha... What a Qingyun Immortal Sect!"
He looked up to the sky and laughed, his laughter filled with undisguised contempt and dominance.
"How can a bunch of chickens and dogs like you be worthy of judging me?"
Boom!
An even more terrifying Aura burst forth from within Chen Xu's body!
Behind him, a vast starry sky phantom slowly emerged.
Stars rotated within it, and Dao runes flickered.
A terrifying pressure, transcending heaven and earth, swept across the entire scene!
Before this pressure, the Domain power of the dozen or so Nascent Soul Ancestors...
was suppressed and crumbled inch by inch, as if subjects encountering their king!
"This is... Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!?"
Ancestor Qingzhu looked at the starry sky phenomenon, exclaiming in shock, his eyes full of astonishment!
Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!
The supreme Foundation of the Dao, said to be one of a kind throughout myriad ages!
No wonder he could defeat a Nascent Soul Cultivator with a Golden Core Stage cultivation!
"Today, I, Chen Xu, shall see."
Chen Xu held his long sword horizontally across his chest, its blade gleaming with cold light.
His eyes swept over every Nascent Soul Ancestor present.
"How much weight do you so-called Righteous Path Sects truly carry!"
"Fight!"
Ancestor Potian and Ancestor Yunliu exchanged glances and attacked simultaneously!
"Qingyun Demon Suppressing Seal!"
The two formed hand seals, and their immense Nascent Soul magical power converged.
In mid-air, it transformed into a gigantic azure seal that covered the entire plaza.
Runes flickered on the giant seal, carrying the supreme power to suppress all demons.
It crashed down towards Chen Xu!
This was one of the Qingyun Immortal Sect's highest Cultivation Techniques, jointly displayed by two Nascent Soul Ancestors.
Its power was enough to kill a Middle Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator!
Facing this world-destroying strike...
Chen Xu's figure moved instantly.
He did not display any flashy techniques!
He simply delivered another plain and simple sword thrust forward.
This sword strike was very slow.
So slow that everyone present could clearly see the trajectory of the sword body.
But at the same time, this sword strike was also very fast!
So fast that everyone's Divine Sense couldn't capture its sharpness!
A terrifying Sword Intent, so fast that it seemed to sever even time, shot up into the sky!
That seemingly ordinary sword light...
drew a faint black line in the air.
Space itself seemed to be cut open by the sharpness of this sword!
Fast!
A pure and ultimate speed!
Before this sword, the Qingyun Demon Suppressing Seal, jointly displayed by two Nascent Soul Ancestors, was like a slowly moving target.
The sword light, arriving later, struck precisely at the center of the giant seal.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no world-destroying energy storm.
Only a soft sound, like porcelain shattering.
"Crack..."
The azure giant seal, imbued with suppressing power, began to show spiderweb-like cracks from the point where the sword tip struck.
The cracks spread at a visible speed, covering the entire giant seal in the blink of an eye!
The next instant!
It shattered with a boom!
Azure light exploded like fireworks, dissipating into the purest Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth.
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
Ancestor Potian and Ancestor Yunliu were struck as if by heavy hammers.
Both of them simultaneously spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Their figures flew backward in disarray, their eyes filled with horror!
Defeated!
The combined strike of two Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators...
was actually broken by the opponent's casual sword strike!
How was this possible!
"Damn Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!"
Ancestor Yunliu stabilized his figure, his voice trembling.
For a moment, everyone looked at Chen Xu as if he were a monster.
After all, Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, also known as Immortal Dao Foundation Establishment,
itself represented invincibility among peers, and infinite potential.
It also represented the terrifying combat power to defeat those in higher realms!
"Hmph~! So what if it's Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!"
Ancestor Potian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a greedy look flashing in his eyes: "He is still only a Golden Core Cultivator! His spiritual power is limited! We will exhaust him to death!"
"Let's attack together! Kill him, and everything he possesses, including the secret of this Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, will belong to our Qingyun Immortal Sect!"
"From now on, our Qingyun Immortal Sect will prosper for myriad ages!"
These words instantly ignited the greed in the hearts of the other Nascent Soul Ancestors present!
A living enemy with Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was a huge threat.
But a dead Genius with the secret of Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment...
was a heaven-sent Opportunity!
"Attack!"
Ancestor Ziri no longer pretended.
He conjured a purple great sun, emitting high temperatures that could burn mountains and boil seas.
It smashed down directly towards Chen Xu!
Three other Nascent Soul Elders also attacked simultaneously, with saber light, sword shadows, and precious seals.
These Magic Treasures sealed all of Chen Xu's escape routes from three different directions!
Adding Ancestor Potian and Ancestor Yunliu, who had just been repelled...
a total of seven Nascent Soul great powers, at this moment, launched a deadly siege against Chen Xu!
The sky above the entire outer Sect plaza was enveloped by the light of various Magic Treasures.
The terrifying pressure caused the ground to crack inch by inch!
The powerful spiritual power vibrations caused the surrounding space to twist!
"Father!"
Chen Daoxuan and Chen Daochu's eyes were bloodshot.
Ancestor Qingzhu's expression changed drastically; he wanted to help.
But he was firmly entangled by three other Nascent Soul Elders, unable to break free.
Facing this world-destroying siege...
Chen Xu's face, however, remained as calm as still water.
His gaze swept over those greedy and ugly faces, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"A bunch of chickens and dogs."
He shook the long sword in his hand and swung it again.
It was still that incredibly fast sword strike!
Streaks of dark sword light bloomed before him, like blossoming death lotuses, meeting every incoming Magic Treasure!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A series of dense metallic clashes rang out!
Ancestor Ziri's purple great sun was cleaved away by a sword strike.
Its light dimmed!
The Magic Treasures of the other three Elders were also all blocked!
Chen Xu, with his own strength, resisted seven great Nascent Soul Cultivators!
However, at this moment!
"Crack!"
A crisp sound came from the long sword in Chen Xu's hand.
This top-grade Magical Artifact of his, after continuously enduring several Nascent Soul-level clashes...
finally reached its limit!
A crack appeared on the sword body!
Ancestor Potian naturally noticed this, and a look of ecstasy flashed in his eyes!
"His sword is about to break! Increase the force!"
He roared, once again urging his Lifebound Treasure Flying Sword.
It transformed into a shocking long rainbow, slashing fiercely at Chen Xu!
The other Ancestors immediately reacted.
They desperately poured their magical power into their Magic Treasures!
Boom!
An even more violent attack surged like a tide!
Chen Xu frowned slightly, blocking with his horizontal sword!
"Clang--!"
A loud bang!
The long sword in his hand could no longer hold up and shattered with a crash!
The violent energy aftermath fiercely impacted his Protective Aura.
Shaking his entire body back dozens of feet!
Although he was not injured, the temporary disadvantage had already manifested.
"Hahahaha! Madman! Without your sword, let's see how you can still be arrogant!"
Ancestor Potian saw this and let out a burst of triumphant laughter.
"Today is your day of death!"
The seven Nascent Soul Ancestors approached again, their killing intent fully exposed.
On the plaza, everyone who supported the Chen family brothers...
felt their hearts sink to the bottom.
Liu Feifei and others turned pale, their eyes filled with despair.
Just at this critical moment!
"Father! Catch!"
A clear, furious shout of a young man came from below!
Chen Daoxuan was seen fiercely throwing the ancient azure long sword in his hand...
towards his father in mid-air!
myriad ages azure cloud sword!
This Sect holy artifact, coveted by Ancestor Potian and others...
at this moment, transformed into an azure stream of light, rushing towards the battlefield!
"Don't even think about it!"
Ancestor Potian's eyes narrowed, and he immediately moved to intercept it.
However, Chen Xu's speed was even faster than his!
His figure flashed, appearing before the azure stream of light.
He firmly grasped the hilt of the sword!
Buzz--!
The moment Chen Xu grasped the myriad ages azure cloud sword, this Spirit Treasure, which had been dormant for an unknown number of years...
seemed to have found its master, letting out a sword cry!
A terrifying Sword Intent, far exceeding anything before, shot up into the sky!
Chen Xu could clearly feel a vast and boundless power continuously pouring into his body through the sword hilt.
There seemed to be a natural fit between him and this sword!
"Good sword!"
Chen Xu couldn't help but praise it.
He could feel that this sword was hundreds of times stronger than his previous one!
"Spirit Treasure! It really is a Spirit Treasure!"
Ancestor Potian and the others' breathing instantly became incredibly heavy.
Their greed almost overflowed from their eyes!
"Kill him! Seize the treasure!"
The seven no longer had any scruples, urging their respective Magic Treasures, filled with killing intent.
They surrounded him again!
Chen Xu, holding the myriad ages azure cloud sword, looked at the seven streams of light, a cold smile on his face.
"A mere grain of rice dares to shine?"
Saying that, he swept his sword horizontally before him!
This time, he did not display that incredibly fast Sword Intent.
He simply swept his sword horizontally forward!
An azure Sword Qi, a hundred zhang long, appeared out of nowhere!
This Sword Qi was unadorned!
Yet it carried a supreme might that could sever mountains and rivers, and cleave open heaven and earth!
Rumble!!!
The azure Sword Qi collided with the seven Magic Treasures!
It was overwhelming!
Those seven Nascent Soul Magic Treasures, which in the eyes of Golden Core Cultivators were enough to destroy heaven and earth...
upon contact with the azure Sword Qi, were like paper!
Saber light shattered! Sword shadows annihilated! Precious seals flew apart!
The purple great sun was even cleaved into two halves by a single sword strike, completely losing its spiritual light.
Puff! Puff! Puff... The seven arrogant Nascent Soul Ancestors, at this moment, were like kites with broken strings, all spitting blood and flying backward!
Among them, the three weakest had their Lifebound Treasures destroyed on the spot.
Their Auras instantly withered to the extreme, and they fell directly from the sky, their fates unknown!
As for Ancestor Potian, he was especially targeted by the Sword Qi, leaving a sword mark on his chest.
Half of his body was almost cleaved open, and only fear remained in his eyes!
One sword!
Just one sword!
Severely wounded seven great Nascent Soul Cultivators!
The entire world, at this moment, seemed to lose its sound.
Everyone was completely stunned by the scene before them.
This... Is this really power that a Golden Core Cultivator can possess?
This was simply a living Sword Immortal!
Chen Xu stood holding his sword, his gaze coldly sweeping over the heavily injured Nascent Soul Ancestors who had fallen to the ground.
His killing intent did not diminish.
He took a step, intending to eliminate them all!
"Fellow Daoist! Please show mercy!"
Just at this moment, Ancestor Qingzhu finally broke free from entanglement.
He flashed to block in front of Chen Xu, a bitter expression on his face.
"Although they are at fault, they are ultimately the Foundation of our Qingyun Immortal Sect. If they all perish here, our Qingyun Immortal Sect will be finished!"
The other Nascent Soul Elders who had not taken action also flew over, bowing respectfully to Chen Xu from a distance.
Their faces were full of apprehension and reverence.
"Fellow Daoist's Divine Ability is peerless, we are impressed!"
"Today's matter is our Sect's fault. We ask Fellow Daoist to show mercy, considering we are both of the Righteous Path!"
"That's right, it's better to resolve enmity than to deepen it. We are willing to represent the Sect and give Fellow Daoist a satisfactory explanation!"
They were scared.
They were truly scared.
If the fight continued, the Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Qingyun Immortal Sect today...
might be slaughtered by this malevolent star!
Chen Xu looked at Ancestor Qingzhu, who was blocking his way, and then at the Elders in the distance who were silent with fear.
The sword light of the myriad ages azure cloud sword in his hand slowly receded.
He was not a bloodthirsty person; he only acted today to protect his children.
Now that his goal had been achieved, continuing to kill would only invite the enmity of the entire Great Feng Dynasty cultivation world.
"Explanation?"
Chen Xu sneered, his voice echoing throughout the plaza.
"Very well."
"From today onwards, I, Chen Xu, shall be the Grand Elder of the Qingyun Immortal Sect! My status shall be equal to yours!"
Boom!
This condition exploded like a heavy bomb in everyone's hearts!
He, an outsider, actually wanted to be the Grand Elder of the Qingyun Immortal Sect!
This was simply unheard of!
"This... This is absolutely impossible!"
A Nascent Soul Elder subconsciously retorted.
Chen Xu's gaze instantly turned cold.
"Hmm?"
That Elder felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave after being looked at by him.
He could no longer speak the rest of his words.
Ancestor Qingzhu and the others also looked troubled; this condition had already touched upon the Sect's fundamental interests.
They simply could not make the decision.
Just as the situation fell into a stalemate again...
a gentle voice came from the main peak in the deepest part of the Qingyun Immortal Sect.
It echoed in everyone's ears.
"I, permit it."
The voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.
Upon hearing this voice, Ancestor Qingzhu and all the other Nascent Soul Elders immediately straightened their expressions.
They all bowed towards the main peak.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Sect Master!
The Qingyun Immortal Sect's Sect Master, who was rarely seen, had actually spoken personally!
"From today onwards, Fellow Daoist Chen Xu shall be the Protector Grand Elder of our Qingyun Immortal Sect, with a status equal to mine."
The voice sounded again.
"His children, Chen Daoxuan, Chen Daochu, and Chen Nianfan, shall immediately be conferred as the Sect's Saints!"
"All other descendants who join our Qingyun Immortal Sect shall be core True Disciples!"
"All compensation shall be paid double from the Sect's treasury!"
"Today's matter ends here."
"Anyone who disrespects Elder Chen and his descendants shall be punished as a traitor to the Sect!"
"If there are any questions, you may come to the main peak to find me!"
The Sect Master's words settled the matter!
Not only did he agree to all of Chen Xu's conditions, but he even added more!
At this, all the Elders who had attacked Chen Xu earlier turned ashen, their faces extremely ugly!
