Chapter 263 - 263 262 Jiuhua Immortal Sect

263: Chapter 262 Jiuhua Immortal Sect 263: Chapter 262 Jiuhua Immortal Sect Do not worry about the road ahead, for who in the world does not recognize you?

Yang Jian, the most dazzling star among the Three Realms, had many titles and many legends associated with him.

As Erlang reveals the True Monarch, the War God of Three Realms, the first disciple of the third generation of Chan Sect, and the Law Enforcement Heavenly God in the Heavenly Court—mentioning the name ‘Yang Jian’ was like thunder reverberating through the ears of all beings across the Three Realms.

Ye Xuan, a nameless individual, was unnoticed until the Jade Emperor conferred upon him the title of Demon Slaying and revealing True Monarch after he annihilated Yuan Mo.

Yet, following a shocking battle in Heaven, Ye Xuan became well-known throughout the Three Realms, leading to widespread discussions about who he really was.

Yang Jian, the legend of the undefeated, was unbeatable even in his early years when he faced that lawless Monkey, always standing on invincible ground.

Yet, this favored son of heaven eventually perished, his physical body annihilated.

Even his True Spirit, protected by the Howling Celestial Dog, had to flee to the Lower Realm, and the chief culprit behind all this was none other than Taoist Ye Xuan.

Although Ye Xuan also met a fate of unknown life or death, his outcome was no better than Yang Jian’s.

Their battle did not conclude with a victor, ending only with both parties gravely injured.

Nonetheless, countless Demon Kings of the Earth Immortal Realm, the Bodhisattva Buddhas of the great Thunderclap Monastery in the West Mountains, and even Immortals from both Chan and Jie Sects had well come to recognize the name Ye Xuan.

That Ye Xuan could stand equally with Yang Jian was already seen as a tall tale, which also demonstrated the terrifying level of his cultivation.

Although there were whispers among the immortals of the Heavenly Court that Ye Xuan was merely a Taiyin Mystic Immortal facing the battle, the masses across the Three Realms dismissed this as merely a rumor.

Should Ye Xuan truly be a Taiyin Mystic Immortal, facing Yang Jian, a Luotian Golden Immortal, he wouldn’t be able to withstand a single move and would immediately be shattered to soul and spirit.

Therefore, whether it was Demon Kings or Bodhisattva Buddhas, or even the Immortals from both Chan and Jie Sects, all began to believe that Ye Xuan must undoubtedly be a Luotian Golden Immortal, sharing the same realm as Yang Jian.

…

Jade Spring Mountain, Golden Twilight Cave—this was the Daoist cultivation site of Yu Ding, one of the Ancient Twelve Golden Immortals.

As one of the Ancient Twelve Golden Immortals, it went without saying that Yu Ding’s cultivation was extremely fearsome.

Yet, this aged Daoist was known for his peaceable nature, never vying for fame or fighting over spoils, perennially secluded at Jade Spring Mountain, deeply immersed in cultivation, a truly transcendent being among the Daluo Golden Immortals.

However, today the Immortal Light shone brightly in the Golden Twilight Cave, and sighs were continuously heard.

“Erlang, your master had long told you, in these vast Three Realms there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, cultivation requires walking on thin ice.

This Taoist Ye Xuan, whose background is unknown and who received the Yuqing Token from your ancestral master—why would you provoke him and create such grievous karma?” Yu Ding, his hair and beard all white, spoke reproachfully.

In a pool of Immortal Spring, steaming with immortal energy, a fragment of Yang Jian’s Primordial Spirit floated and sunk; his physical body had been destroyed, and the voice emanating from his True Spirit was extremely weak.

“Master, that Ye Xuan is despicable and shameless, and he has excessively bullied your disciple, not only insulting my origins but also desecrating the Guanghan Fairy.

If I do not kill him, I cannot quell the hatred in my heart!”

“You this scourge!”

Yu Ding’s hair and beard bristled, his face displaying immense anger as he scolded, “I have already warned you not to provoke that Guanghan Fairy.

Though her cultivation is only moderate, she has significant connections with the Witch Clan.

Have you forgotten the great calamity caused by the Witch Demons, and who shot down the nine Golden Crows?”

“Ah, you scourge, it seems I have been too indulgent with you, letting you now disregard everyone.”

“Do you…

do you know…

how vast these Heaven and Earth Three Realms are…

Do you truly think that since the Chan Sect triumphed greatly in the Deification Battle, no one in the Three Realms dares to provoke us?”

The more Yu Ding spoke, the angrier he became, pacing back and forth in the Golden Twilight Cave.

He then pointed a finger toward the Immortal Spring, trapping Yang Jian’s True Spirit within.

“From today onward, you will condense your physical body in this Immortal Spring.

As your master, I sentence you to solitary confinement for ten thousand years.

Only when you step into the Daluo Golden Immortal realm will you be able to release me from seclusion,” Yu Ding the True Monarch said with a tone of severe disappointment.

“Master, that Ye Xuan must not be allowed to survive.

If we do not kill him, he will surely come to kill me in the future.

I implore you, Master, not to confine me here,” Yang Jian pleaded urgently with Yu Ding the True Monarch.

“You sinful obstruction, why are you still so foolish?”

“Although I do not know why your grandmaster bestowed the Yuqing Token upon Ye Xuan, as your master, I have already glimpsed a trace of the unfathomable heavenly secrets.

Ye Xuan is certainly a key figure in this boundless kalpa; how could you possibly strike him down?”

“He is currently just a Taiyin Mystic Immortal, yet he already left you in this wretched state.

Even though he ambushed you, this also proves that this person is by no means easy to deal with.

You should avoid provoking him in the future.”

Yu Ding the True Monarch stated decisively, leaving no room for discussion, and then turned and walked towards the outside of the Jinxia Cave.

Outside the Jinxia Cave.

Yu Ding the True Monarch wore a troubled expression, his mouth sighing repeatedly.

Yang Jian was his disciple and he regarded him like his own child.

Seeing him injured like this, how could Yu Ding not feel heartache?

But as his cultivation level gradually increased, Yu Ding the True Monarch felt increasingly his own insignificance and sensed the truly unpredictable nature of heavenly secrets.

Pangu opened the sky, Hong Jun passed on the teachings, The Three Pure Ones established the doctrine, Nuwa created humanity, the great calamity of dragons and phoenixes, the great battle of witches and demons, the Three Emperors ruled the world, the great battle of deification…

This vast heaven and earth hid so many uncertainties.

Although Yu Ding the True Monarch was a Daluo Golden Immortal, he knew that he seemed supremely incomparable in the eyes of heaven and earth, yet in the eyes of some, he was merely a chess piece.

Heaven and earth as the chessboard, all beings as the pieces, and even Daluo Golden Immortals were no exception.

His disciple was too arrogant; if he did not temper his temper, he might truly perish and cease to exist in the limitless kalpas ahead.

…

Eastern Continent, Haoxuan Mountain!

This Haoxuan Mountain spans a million li, within which lies a Daoist sect named Jiuhua Immortal Sect.

Its Sect Master claims to be Jiuhua Profound Immortal and is an overlord-level figure within tens of millions of li.

Originally, Jiuhua Profound Immortal was a hawk who attained the Dao; most of his disciples were demons inclined towards the Dao, though there were also many human cultivators.

The gates of the Immortal Sect were wide open, teaching without discrimination; this was the principle upheld by Jiuhua Immortal Sect.

On this day, the sky was high and the clouds were pale, clear for thousands of miles.

A breeze blew, carrying the rich fragrance of grass and trees, refreshing the spirit and delighting the mind.

At the foot of Haoxuan Mountain.

A dozen Jiuhua Immortal Sect disciples were hurrying back to the sect.

These individuals were mostly young men and women, their cultivation ranging from the highest at the Divine Separation Stage to the weakest at the Golden Core Stage.

“Sister…

Brothers, look quickly!”

A young girl shouted in alarm, pointing frantically at a clump of grass on the roadside.

The group of disciples looked startled and turned their gaze to the grass, only to see a person within, the body soaked in blood that had already coagulated, showing not the slightest sign of life.
