Chapter 3925 Current Situation

Chaotic void.

A cluster of celestial palaces stands tall, their magnificent aura suppressing the galaxy, protected by countless stars, and further enhanced by arrays shrouded in celestial light, making it a heavily fortified stronghold.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The void suddenly shattered.

Two figures appeared, one after the other.

This sudden turn of events immediately alarmed the cultivators on guard.

"who!"

A cultivator shouted angrily, his face showing surprise and uncertainty as he looked at the newcomer.

But at that moment...

A figure slowly appeared.

Upon seeing the other party, the monk on guard immediately greeted him respectfully.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder!"

Venerable Luo Tian waved his hand, then looked at the two cultivators in front of him, his expression clearly showing some surprise, but then he smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, Fellow Daoist Chang Geng!"

"Fellow Daoist Luo Tian!"

Shen Changqing nodded in agreement.

Venerable Luo Tian said, "This is not the place to talk. Please come inside and have a seat, fellow Daoists!"

"please!"

……

The celestial palace contains a hidden paradise, a complete little world with evergreen mountains and flowing water.

Inside the Immortal Mansion.

The three of them took their seats.

A cultivator stepped forward and poured tea and water for the three of them. Shen Changqing could tell at a glance that this cultivator was actually a puppet and not a real living being.

at this time.

Venerable Luo Tian looked at Shen Changqing with a sigh: "Fellow Daoist Shen's arrival this time was somewhat unexpected for me."

Back then, Fellow Daoist Shen's battle in the Divine Sun Domain was known throughout the world.

I, too, am deeply impressed!

admire!

That's truly admirable!

After all, if it were him, Venerable Luo Tian would never have been able to do what Shen Changqing did.

The Divine Sun Domain possesses unfathomable resources, with numerous top-tier Half-Saints and even more powerful individuals above Half-Saint level.

I heard that in that battle, even an ancient supreme being made a move, but in the end, none of them were able to capture Shen Changqing.

In this regard.

How could Venerable Luo Tian not admire him?

Upon seeing Shen Changqing again, his mindset had unconsciously changed.

If in the past, when facing Shen Changqing, Venerable Luo Tian treated him as an equal, he still harbored some thoughts of a senior treating a junior.

But things are different now.

These feelings have disappeared.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing simply smiled and did not dwell on the topic.

"This humble Taoist has been to the Chaotic Void Sea!"

A single sentence made Venerable Luo Tian's expression turn ugly.

The name "Chaos of the Sky Sea" is a source of eternal pain for him.

"Fellow Daoist has been to the Chaotic Void Sea, so I am not surprised. But I wonder how the Chaotic Void Sea is now?"

Venerable Luo Tian took a deep breath and asked.

Shen Changqing shook his head: "The land has been ravaged, and there are no survivors!"

Upon hearing this...

Venerable Luo Tian took another deep breath.

He had actually anticipated this outcome, but hearing it from Shen Changqing's mouth still shocked him.

"The evil beasts are coming with great force, and the evil king is secretly directing them from behind. Although the Chaotic Sky Sea has its own strength, it is ultimately no match for such an endless army of evil beasts."

Even I, a humble Taoist, was severely injured by that half-saint beast.

"If we hadn't fought our way out at the cost of our lives, we might already be one of the many corpses in the Chaotic Sky Sea!"

Looking at the bitter smile on the other person's face, Shen Changqing couldn't help but ask, "I remember that your sect has a saintly ancestor. These mere semi-saintly beasts should not be able to threaten the survival of your sect, right?"

These words were spoken.

The bitter smile on Venerable Luo Tian's face became even more pronounced.

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but our sect's ancestor is undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation, so it is inconvenient for him to take action. Compared with the safety of our ancestor, the fall of the sect is nothing."

After all... as long as the Ancestor is still alive, then the foundation of our Xuanji Immortal Sect will remain.

If something were to happen to our ancestor… even if our sect survives this calamity, there's no guarantee we'll survive the next one!

Shen Changqing nodded slightly at what the other party said.

After all.

A sage ancestor is naturally much more important than the Xuanji Immortal Sect.

Just as Venerable Luo Tian said.

Saints never die.

Then the sect's lineage would not be considered broken.

Even if all the other cultivators of the Xuanji Immortal Sect perish, with that sage ancestor still alive, they will have the qualifications to rebuild the Xuanji Immortal Sect in the future.

in contrast.

If a sage were to perish.

Whether the Xuanji Immortal Sect will produce another saint in the future is another matter entirely.

certainly--

In Shen Changqing's view, Venerable Luo Tian might not really not want that saintly ancestor to take action; perhaps that ancestor simply didn't want to take action at all.

But no matter what, this matter is ultimately not really related to me.

Shen Changqing only asked about the internal affairs of the Xuanji Immortal Sect casually, without any intention of delving deeper.

at this time.

Venerable Luo Tian then changed the subject: "Fellow Daoist Shen, did you come here this time for the Tribulation Crossing Realm?"

"Fellow Daoist is right."

Shen Changqing nodded in agreement, not finding it strange that this person could guess his purpose.

After all, there aren't many things that would make me personally come to the Xuanji Immortal Sect, except for the Crossing Calamity Realm.

Venerable Luo Tian sighed: "The Crossing Calamity Realm has fallen, and many evil kings are vying for that world and occupying the Longevity Immortal Mine. I also wish to take it back."

Unfortunately... our sect's strength has been severely depleted, and I am still recovering from serious injuries. There are many evil beasts in the Crossing Calamity Realm, and there are even more than one evil beast that is comparable to a top-tier half-saint.

With our strength, truly reclaiming the Realm of Tribulation will not be easy!

The words were spoken.

Venerable Luo Tian also looked helpless.

Reclaim the Crossing the Tribulations Realm.

In his view, it was easier said than done.

Even though the person in front of me once displayed unparalleled strength in the Divine Sun Domain, and even a Supreme Being was injured by him.

However, Venerable Luo Tian knew very well that the opponent could only use this method once, and it would be extremely difficult for them to use it a second time.

otherwise.

If the other party could really use such methods at will, then why would they need to come to the Xuanji Immortal Sect? They could wipe out the entire Calamity of the Crossing Calamity Realm by themselves and then monopolize the Longevity Immortal Mine.

After all.

Such methods are extremely rare in the world.

The vast majority of cultivators have never even heard of it, let alone possess it.

Shen Changqing asked, "Of the original six major powers in the Chaotic Void Sea, what is the current situation of the remaining five powers besides the Xuanji Immortal Sect?"

"The Forgetful Immortal Sect, the Blazing Fire Dao Sect, and the Poison King Holy Land were all destroyed, and all the half-saints perished, with none surviving."

The Void Sword Sect and the Spirit Stream Sword Sect have suffered heavy losses and are now even weaker than our sect.

Moreover, most of the powerful figures from the two major sects have perished, and the remaining cultivators have fled. Finding their whereabouts in the vast chaos is no easy task.

"Besides—"

"Even if we could find the two major sects, given their current strength and resources, it would be impossible for them to join forces with us to suppress the chaos and turmoil in the Tribulation Realm!"

Venerable Luo Tian shook his head and said with a helpless expression.

Upon hearing this...

Shen Changqing fell silent.

The losses suffered by Ran Kongkai this time were greater than he had imagined.

Of the six major powers, three were destroyed, and the remaining three were all severely damaged.

It is indeed impossible for such a force to reclaim the Realm of Salvation.

Even if he included himself, Shen Changqing considered it the same.

To know.

All the evil beasts in the Crossing Calamity Realm are now gathered there, including the group of evil beasts that destroyed the Chaotic Sky Sea.

Such a force, capable of annihilating the Chaotic Sky Sea, must be incredibly powerful.

Given the current state of forces like the Xuanji Immortal Sect, dealing with the evil beasts of the Crossing Calamity Realm will certainly be quite difficult.

If we say...

All six major powers have preserved their strength.

With himself added to the mix, Shen Changqing believed that they had a good chance of winning.

But as things stand, the chances of winning are extremely slim.

after all.

The Lingxi Sword Sect and the Void Sword Sect cannot be relied upon for the time being.

With just himself and the Xuanji Immortal Sect, it would be wishful thinking to think he could deal with the calamities of the Crossing Calamity Realm.

Think about this.

Shen Changqing said, "If we want to reclaim the Crossing Calamity Realm, we can only seek help from other sources. Only in this way can we have a chance to break the deadlock!"

"What does Fellow Daoist Shen mean?"

"Taiyi Sacred Land!"

Shen Changqing said, word by word.

Upon hearing this name, Venerable Luo Tian's expression froze for a moment, then his brows furrowed: "The Taiyi Holy Land is an unparalleled power. If the news of the Longevity Immortal Mine is exposed, we may not have the chance to get our hands on it."

If it really comes to that, even if we subdue the Tribulation Realm, it won't change anything!

Despite the connection between the Xuanji Immortal Sect and the Taiyi Holy Land, Venerable Luo Tian knew very well that such a relationship was insignificant compared to the Longevity Immortal Mine.

It would be fine if the news of the Longevity Immortal Mine hadn't leaked out, but once it had, how could such a supreme power have given the Xuanji Immortal Sect the chance to get their hands on it?

This is why Venerable Luo Tian never sought help from other top forces throughout the entire process.

It's not that I don't want to.

It's not that they dare not!

If we're really going to let those powerful forces take over the Longevity Immortal Mine, we might as well just let those evil beasts have it directly.

Although such thoughts are somewhat selfish, that is how Venerable Luo Tian sees them.

I can't have it.

It should not be allowed to be obtained by other cultivators.

As for the evil beast—

If it was forcibly taken from my hands, then that's a different story.

Shen Changqing was aware of Luo Tianzun's concerns, and he said with a faint smile, "If all the high-ranking members of the Taiyi Holy Land knew about this matter, then the Du'e Realm would naturally not be for you and me to interfere with."

However, if it's just a matter of asking a powerful figure from the Taiyi Holy Land to intervene and prevent the news from spreading completely, then that's a different story.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Shen has a private relationship with a powerful figure from the Taiyi Holy Land?"

Venerable Luo Tian was clearly stunned for a moment.

Shen Changqing nodded: "I have a good relationship with Venerable Jinque of Taiyi Holy Land. He is a top-level Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint. If he takes action, and we combine our strength, it will not be a problem to suppress the evil spirits in the Crossing Tribulation Realm."

Given that person's personality, it's unlikely they would do something like betraying their benefactor.

However, if we take over the Tribulation Crossing Realm, the share of the Longevity Immortal Mine will have to be redistributed!

"That's for sure. If we can reclaim the Tribulation Crossing Realm, the share of the Longevity Immortal Mine should be redistributed!"

Venerable Luo Tian showed no objection to this, and instead had a noticeable smile on his face.

He naturally knew the name of Venerable Jinque.

If such a powerful figure is willing to take action, the probability of success is very high.

What Luo Tian Venerable didn't expect was that this Xuan Tian Sword Master actually had a private relationship with such a powerful figure, which was indeed quite surprising. (End of this chapter)
