Chapter 994: Chapter 994: The Wrath of the Tao Court Sect

"Miss, the world is treacherous, from now on you must gauge your strengths accordingly,"

Qin Jun said to Fairy Nansu with a smile, his voice clearly reaching her ears, causing her to unwittingly squint her beautiful eyes.

Afterward, Qin Jun laughed heartily and soared into the sky.

He bore no grudge against Fairy Nansu, therefore, there was no need for him to strike to kill.

Of course, the main reason was that he did not kill women who had no grievances with him.

Fairy Nansu watched their three figures disappearing into the distance, her eyes shifting through shades of light and dark.

In the end, she sighed, "Forget it, with insufficient strength, this item is not meant for me."

In the three thousand worlds, opportunities are plentiful.

The Fighting Dao Secret Characters was just one of the opportunities she valued, and there was nothing she could do if they were unattainable; staying alive was the fundamental goal.

She memorized Qin Jun’s and Patriarch Bodhi’s appearances, pondering a future investigation.

A mere Golden Immortal dared to be so presumptuous; his background must be far from ordinary.

Moreover, from his words, it seemed that he was planning to go to the Ancient Immortal Realm?

It looks like the Ancient Immortal Realm would be quite lively later on.

With that thought, Fairy Nansu turned and flew towards the four black dragons in the distance. After spending so much time, to end up with nothing, she appeared remarkably calm.

She had encountered such situations more than a few times before.

Not even the favored children of destiny get everything their way. They too face failures. Of course, there are some freaks who have never tasted defeat, but in the vast expanse of the three thousand worlds, such freaks are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

As the powerhouses left one after another, the watching beings immediately burst into an uproar.

The news spread swiftly across the entire Liuhai Grand World.

The battle startled all domains, and the pressure exerted by the entering-the-realm-of-the-sage-level powerhouses was unforgettable for the beings.

"It’s said that Tao Court Sect lost many disciples, is that true?"

"Not sure, apparently tens of thousands of Tao Court Sect disciples were thrown out into the void."

"Thrown into the void? Sounds too fake, doesn’t it?"

"How come I heard that Ximen Yu is dead?"

"No way! Ximen Yu is a powerhouse who ranks high even in the Ancient Immortal Realm."

The news spread fast; although the Liuhai Grand World wasn’t powerful, it wasn’t isolated from information because it wasn’t sealed like the Xuandang Grand World. The reputations of people like Xu Zixian, Fairy Nansu, Ximen Yu, and others were quite prominent there.

A mysterious treasure that provoked the strife of so many powerhouses must be anything but simple.

Qin Jun and his two companions, however, remained unknown since no one knew their origins, not even their names.

Perhaps in time, the truth will spread, and the names of Qin Jun and his two companions will become known, but that’s a story for another time.

...

Within the boundless starry sky, Qin Jun was sitting cross-legged inside a sphere formed by the white bristles of the Dust Brush; he was repeatedly examining the Fighting Dao Secret Characters in his hand with a rather frustrated expression.

He didn’t know what power had sealed these secret characters, making them impossible for him to integrate.

And thinking back on the Formation Dao Secret Characters and the Fighting Dao Secret Characters made his heart sour even more.

"Your Majesty, this item is no trivial matter. If you cannot absorb it for the time being, why not keep it and wait for an opportunity?"

Patriarch Bodhi consoled, and Qin Jun nodded in agreement.

Qiang Liang, on the other hand, showed no interest and was sitting by himself, healing and resting.

"System, is there really no way to integrate it?"

Qin Jun asked inwardly. Even with the memories of tens of thousands of years from his past life, he had no solution for the Fighting Dao Secret Characters.

"There isn’t any for now, but it seems there’s something sealed inside this object. If we rashly open it, there’s likely to be danger."

The system hesitated in its response, making Qin Jun frown.

Something’s sealed inside?

And it could pose a threat to him?

The system wouldn’t overlook the existence of Patriarch Bodhi and Qiang Liang, yet there still could be danger in this situation...

Qin Jun suddenly felt the Fighting Dao Secret Characters burning in his hand. Should he throw them away?

"As long as it’s not stimulated, without tens of thousands of years, its seal won’t loosen."

Relieved by the system’s words, Qin Jun promptly tossed the Fighting Dao Secret Characters into the mythology space.

Keeping it in a storage ring might subject it to external stimuli, but the mythology space was different. Besides him, no one could detect the existence of the mythology space.

The trio continued their journey towards the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Meanwhile, news about the prodigy Xu Zixian, Fairy Nansu being frightened away, and the tragic death of Ximen Yu began to spread across the starry skies.

The speed at which the news traveled was even faster than the speed at which Qin Jun and his companions moved.

...

In the depths of the starry sky floated a continent even larger than the Flowing River Great World, surrounded by countless stars suspended around it. From a distance, these stars appeared to orbit the continent.

Moreover, these stars emanated their own light, ensuring that the continent was always in daylight.

Their light reached the other side of the starry sky, guiding countless creatures. This continent was at the center of the star domain—the Ancient Immortal Realm!

The land of celestial beings!

Overlooking hundreds of great worlds and countless smaller ones, the Immortal Realm!

The Ancient Immortal Realm was vast beyond measure, with countless creatures flying in and out. Enormous starry beasts fluttered their wings and soared about, forming magnificent moving streams, reminiscent of the majestic river of history.

Rows of celestial cranes flew around the Ancient Immortal Realm. Ships of various shapes gathered from all directions, flying into the realm. Within the Ancient Immortal Realm, uncountable mountain ranges spanned across it, and wide rivers flowing down from great peaks with powerful momentum. In the endless oceans, schools of fish leapt, each over a hundred yards long, creating colossal waves tens of thousands of yards high.

The passing ships took no notice of the huge waves, easily maneuvering around them.

Beyond the boundless ocean lay towering cities, their gates standing over a thousand yards high, like natural moats. Some cities were even ten thousand yards tall. Within the city walls stood countless stone statues of gods and immortals, scattered throughout the entire Ancient Immortal Realm, where billions of beings worshipped them, basking in the power of their incense.

In the center of the Ancient Immortal Realm, atop a mountain range, floated islands of various sizes, each emitting different lights, like suns, sacred and solemn.

One such island was as large as the Earth, and on its surface sat an enormous tower tens of thousands of yards high, with lively cities around it, bustling with noise.

This was the main island of the Tao Court Sect, and the current sect leader resided in the giant tower.

Inside the tower, a disciple of the Tao Court Sect knelt before a grand door, his voice trembling, "Sect Leader... there’s terrible news..."

The corridor leading to the door was dark and as the disciple finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.

So silent it was terrifying, the disciple could hear his own sweat dripping to the floor.

After a long while, an authoritative voice came from behind the door, "What is it?"

The simple two words carried an immense pressure.

The disciple hurriedly prostrated himself, his voice trembling even more, "The Fighting Dao Secret Characters have been stolen... and even West Gate Leader..."

"Hmm? Who stole the Fighting Dao Secret Characters?"

The authoritative voice immediately rose sharply, causing the entire tower to tremble.

"I don’t know... West Gate Leader has fallen... not even a shred of his Primordial Spirit escaped..."

"Ximen Yu is dead?"

As the authoritative voice burst out in anger, the whole island shook. The creatures coming and going around were surprised to look towards the main island of the Tao Court Sect, their expressions filled with astonishment.

Such vast might... who else could it be but the Sect Leader of the Tao Court Sect?
