Chapter 394 I Want All These Cultivation Techniques! (4K)_3
However, relying on his Innate Taoist Body, Lu Changsheng could get a glimpse into the second layer.
"Feels like I'll need to cultivate for a while."
Lu Changsheng deeply felt the obscurity of the Eternal Holy Scripture and knew that it would take a long time to master this cultivation technique.
Let alone Golden Immortals, even Immortal Emperors couldn't necessarily cultivate the Eternal Holy Scripture to the realm of Great Perfection.
"Oh?"
Lu Changsheng suddenly sensed something, as his cultivation was on the verge of breaking through to the seventh layer of the Golden Immortal realm.
"I will enter secluded cultivation for some time, you guys continue your own practice."
After sending a telepathic message to several of his disciples, Lu Changsheng officially went into seclusion, aiming for the seventh layer of the Golden Immortal realm.
...
At Zhengsheng Sect, Daoist Yuxuan came to the Great Luo Palace, where Sect Leader Qingyangzi stood with hands clasped behind him, facing a huge Taiji Diagram.
"Does the Sect Leader have any instructions?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Something has happened to the Wind Sword Sect. The Holy Land has ordered our Zhengsheng Sect to investigate this matter. You will join me in heading to the Wind Sword Sect."
"The Wind Sword Sect boasts three Daluo Golden Immortals, and their strength is not weak. Could it be that..."
"They have likely been massacred."
"Whoever destroyed the Wind Sword Sect must be no ordinary foe."
"We will know more once we visit the Wind Sword Sect."
The Immortal Sword unsheathed with a gesture from Qingyangzi's right hand, and together with Daoist Yuxuan, he made his way to the Wind Sword Sect.
With strength surpassing the various Peak Masters of Zhengsheng Sect, Qingyangzi gave Daoist Yuxuan some peace of mind.
At the gate of the Wind Sword Sect, the Mountain Protection Array lay in shatters, the palaces collapsed, and corpses could be seen everywhere.
Looking down from above the gates of the Wind Sword Sect, Qingyangzi and Daoist Yuxuan were horrified at the sight of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood below.
The several hundred thousand disciples of the Wind Sword Sect were all dead.
"These bodies are withered, their lifeblood drained. It's mostly likely the doing of a Demon Chief from the Blood Sea Palace."
Having clashed with the Blood Sea Palace before, Daoist Yuxuan was familiar with their methods.
"Why would the Blood Sea Palace attack the Wind Sword Sect? Last time, they even set a trap in an attempt to kill the Holy Maiden of Tai Hua, could it be that the Blood Sea Palace really intends to wage war against the Taihua Holy Land?"
Since Zhengsheng Sect was affiliated with the Taihua Holy Land, Qingyangzi, whose Taoist name coincidentally matched that of Lin Xuantong's top disciple, the Qingyang Immortal Emperor, had once received guidance from Lin Xuantong.
He managed the Zhengsheng Sect territory for the Taihua Holy Land, and if the Blood Sea Palace's target was the Taihua Holy Land, he could not stand idly by.
Daoist Yuxuan asked, "Does the Sect Leader know the origins of the Blood Sea Palace? Does the Blood Sea Palace truly have the capability to confront a colossal entity like the Taihua Holy Land?"
Sect Leader Qingyangzi frowned deeply, "According to the Saint Lord, the Blood Sea Palace first emerged six million years ago, initially causing minor trouble which the holy lands ignored. However, in less than two million years, the Blood Sea Palace produced experts of the Immortal Emperor Realm, with elusive and sinister deeds. If the Blood Sea Palace were merely a common Demon Sect, naturally it would be no match for the holy lands. My biggest concern is that behind the Blood Sea Palace lies the Demon Realm, which would be far from trivial."
"The Demon Realm..."
Daoist Yuxuan swallowed hard: the Demon Realm was teeming with great demons, a survival of the fittest world even more fearsome than the Immortal Realm, and indeed harbored supreme beings that could contend with holy lands.
"What should we do next?"
"This matter has exceeded our capacity to deal with, so we will report to the holy lands as they are. The Wind Sword Sect sheltered billions of beings, and now that they have suffered annihilation, their outer sect disciples and the cities under their jurisdiction have lost trust in the holy lands; it appears they will seek refuge with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple."
On their return to Zhengsheng Sect, Qingyangzi and Daoist Yuxuan saw tens of millions of Loose Cultivators and civilians with their families, migrating westward.
The Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, a Buddhist holy land adjacent to Taihua Holy Land and with similar strength, saw its opportunity as the Wind Sword Sect, which was under the Taihua Holy Land, was annihilated. Many of the human cities once governed by the Wind Sword Sect chose to convert to Buddhism to avoid Blood Sea Palace's attacks and the potential of their entire city being refined by the Blood Formation.
Great masters and disciples from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple were also dispatched to take charge.
"These bald donkeys swoop in to seize the power of faith right after the Wind Sword Sect's disaster, truly unscrupulous," remarked Daoist Yuxuan indignantly, upon seeing the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple take the opportunity to expand their influence.
However, the two did not pay attention to these disciples from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple but went straight to report the matter of the Wind Sword Sect to Lin Xuantong in the Taihua Divine Realm.

Lin Xuantong's gaze was as profound as the stars, his tone unquestionable, "Effective immediately, the holy lands and all the large Immortal Sects under them must strengthen their defenses. I will find a way to eradicate the Blood Sea Palace as quickly as possible."
