252: Great! His Majesty has passed away!
Holy Master Qingyun was still somewhat hesitant.
"Immortal Lord, although the Seven Great Dao Lands would turn a blind eye given your status, it would still affect you if Zixuan Holy Land spreads rumors in secret."
Qin Jiang couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, looking at Holy Master Qingyun with some surprise. "In Black White Sword Ancestor's words, you weren't like this."
He naturally understood Holy Master Qingyun's intention; he wanted to drag Zixuan Holy Land down with them.
Holy Master Qingyun gave an awkward laugh. "Well, I am the Revered Master of a Holy Land after all. Since I've been put on this pedestal, I have no choice. I must maintain a good image to attract more Disciples to the Sect."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but recall the past. He had lived a carefree life, known as the Romantic Sword Immortal.
He never expected that at the final moment, his Revered Master would trick him into becoming this damn Holy Master Qingyun.
If he had just disappeared back then, perhaps he would be an Immortal Lord by now?
At this thought, his eyes grew somewhat melancholy.
Well, he couldn't have done it. If he had truly left back then, it would have gone against his heart, and he likely wouldn't have progressed an inch for the rest of his life.
Qin Jiang chuckled at Holy Master Qingyun's words. He had clearly put himself in that position, yet he insisted on finding a twisted excuse.
On the current continent, apart from Qingyun Holy Land, there were almost no places that taught commoners the Divine Martial cultivation method.
Cultivation methods above the Divine Martial level were controlled by various Sects. One was only eligible to learn them after passing an assessment and joining a Sect.
This was the so-called distinction between immortals and mortals. In essence, it was a matter of resources.
A place like Qingyun Holy Land was almost unique.
This led to the cultivation method being widely spread. Many people who weren't good with words would just bury their heads in cultivation without communicating with others at all.
Thus, Holy Master Qingyun had to step forward personally and take on the role of a mascot.
Perhaps it would be more suitable for him to Cultivate the Exquisite Immortal Lord's 'Exquisite Nine Hearts Transformation'.
"I'll leave the matters of Immortal Phoenix County to you. I'm going to Zixuan Holy Land," Qin Jiang said with a smile.
With that, his figure vanished, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
Holy Master Qingyun looked at Tang Sanzang. "Holy Monk, refining the Human Dao Immortal Source is quite troublesome, so you may need to stay for a few more days. Please forgive my words from the other day."
Then he looked at Qin Hong. "Miss Qin, I have prepared a Sword Qi baptism within the Sect. You and Miss Bai may go at any time; it might help you both directly forge a Demi-God Body."
"You're too kind, Holy Revered Master. Little Bai and I thank you," Qin Hong said, cupping her hands with a smile.
After they left, Holy Master Qingyun looked at the County Marquis and the Princess Consort, cupping his hands with a smile. "Marquis, Princess Consort. The future prosperity and peace of Immortal Phoenix County for tens of thousands of years will depend on you two. Qing thanks you here."
In the Southern Region, within the territory of Zixuan Holy Land, a purple immortal city stood tall, suppressing the world.
This was the location of Zixuan Holy Land's mountain gate, the Forbidden Purple Immortal City.
Although Zixuan Holy Land was called a Holy Land, it was actually an immortal dynasty. However, due to the existence of the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty, they didn't dare to name it the Zixuan Imperial Dynasty.
In the grand hall at this moment, the current Holy Revered Master of Zixuan, Zi Xuan Emperor, sat upon a dragon throne.
This dragon throne was even more magnificent than that of the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign. It was forged from the Immortal Gold Mother Root and inlaid with rare jewels, but it had a superficial feel to it.
By his side, ten scantily clad, plump women served him. None of their figures were in the least inferior to that of the Immortal Phoenix Princess Consort.
"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of Immortal Phoenix County, Sun Xingzhe from the Eastern Journey party has already headed to the Exquisite Dao Land. I'm afraid it won't be long before people from the Exquisite Dao Land arrive.
If trouble arises then, it might be difficult to explain to the Exquisite Dao Land."
An old man with white hair and beard stepped forward, wearing a Fifth Rank official robe and emitting the aura of an aged True God.
On the imperial throne, Zi Xuan Emperor opened his eyes, a purple glimmer flashing through them.
*Bang!*
The Fifth Rank official's body exploded, and his true soul was annihilated.
Instantly, the many officials in the hall lowered their heads, not daring to speak. Two First Rank officials of the Saint Lord Level merely showed displeasure but said nothing.
"Hmph! A mere Fifth Rank official dares to teach this Emperor how to do things! Seeking death! Someone, come!"
"Here!"
"Execute nine generations of this fellow's kin! No, ten generations!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Several True Gods left under the lead of a True Immortal. Zi Xuan Emperor looked down the hall with satisfaction.
"So what if it's the Exquisite Dao Land? Do I fear the Exquisite Immortal Lord? Since this Emperor could reach the peak of the Saint Lord Level in just three thousand years, then in less than a hundred years, this Emperor will likewise break into the Immortal Lord realm! What is there to fear!"
At this, he glanced at the two First Rank officials of the Saint Lord Level, a hint of ruthlessness appearing in his eyes.
Just wait. Once this Emperor steps into the Immortal Lord realm, I won't need you two old fogies anymore!
At that time, let's see who still dares to control this Emperor!
"Your Majesty's talent is peerless! Like an Immortal King returning to his youth! You will surely become the overlord of the continent in the future, and replace the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty!"
A Fourth Rank True God official knelt on the ground, offering flattering praise.
Zi Xuan Emperor gave a disdainful smile and crushed the official to death with a wave of his hand. He laughed, "Well said, but a mere True God dares to boast so wildly? Do you think this Emperor can't hear the insincerity?"
Clap, clap, clap.
Crisp clapping sounds echoed from outside the hall. Zi Xuan Emperor looked up, his gaze piercing through the hall to see a figure standing in the clouds.
"Hmph! Playing tricks! Who are you? Hurry and come kneel before this Emperor! If your kowtowing pleases me, I might spare your life!"
In the clouds, Qin Jiang shook his head slightly. "Originally, I was wondering how someone thousands of years old could be so stupid. It turns out the root of it is with you."
Inside the hall, Zi Xuan Emperor's eyes widened. "Bastard! You damn thing! What did you do to this Emperor's only sister! How dare you insult this Emperor like this! Give me your life!"
With that, a dazzling and heavy purple light erupted from his body. Some officials and soldiers in the hall with insufficient cultivation were directly crushed by this force.
"Imperial Dragon Ultimate Heaven Break!"
He shouted, directly flipping the palace roof and attacking Qin Jiang. The surrounding Imperial Dragon Qi transformed into a ferocious purple dragon, roaring.
Qin Jiang looked at the attacking purple dragon with some surprise, his eyes filled with a bit of confusion.
Such dense power of Luck. How can a fellow like this be blessed with such dense Luck?
However, no matter how strong the Luck is, in the end, it still depends on the person.
He pressed his palm down. A giant platinum palm descended, expanding to ten thousand miles in size and crushing the clouds to dust. The purple dragon looked like an earthworm before the giant palm.
Awoo—!
The dragon roared in grief as terrifying force crowded in from all directions. Its scales rubbed against each other, and its body was squeezed until it almost exploded.
"Break for me—!"
Zi Xuan Emperor roared, but it was useless. In the next moment, he turned into a sky full of purple particles.
The platinum palm's momentum didn't slow, pressing all the purple Luck into the city. Popping sounds of explosions rang out in the immortal city, and blood almost flowed like a river.
Yet many people found they weren't harmed. Instead, an unknown purple power drifted into their bodies, healing long-standing difficult illnesses or hidden injuries.
The platinum palm returned, pulling up a large number of antiques and old objects. After swirling for a moment, they all returned to their original places.
[Potential Points: 312,516.8]
A few days ago, he harvested about 180,000 Potential Points in the Exquisite Dao Land. Now, in the Forbidden Purple Immortal City, he harvested another 80,000, surpassing the 300,000 mark.
In the imperial hall with its roof torn off, the two First Rank officials of the Saint Lord Level stared blankly at the figure standing in the sky.
"An... an Immortal Lord has arrived in person! An Immortal Lord has arrived!"
"Great... great! His... His Majesty has fallen!"
