Chapter 443 Aftershock of Sword Light, Scarlet Calamity
The Immortal Dawn Sword Art was a sword art that Cui Heng had taught Jiang Qiqi.
At that time, Cui Heng was only at the Foundation Establishment realm. His initial Immortal Dawn Sword Art could only be cultivated to the Early-stage Foundation Establishment realm.
Now, Daozhou Star’s Immortal Dawn Sect and Zheng Nanxun, who was beside him, cultivated the Immortal Dawn Sword Art that he had modified. Their realms had expanded a
lot.!!
Now that he had sensed the sword intent that had clearly been sublimated from the Immortal Dawn Sword Art in the Heaven Realm, there was only one possibility
This must be a sword mark left behind by Jiang Qiqi.
She had also optimized the Immortal Dawn Sword Art and deduced this sword art to a level that was slightly weaker than the Ninth Realm of the Immortal World.
Priest Linshan said that the beast skin was left with the sword mark of a Heavenly God.
However, in Cui Heng’s perception, the strength of this sword mark was inferior to an Ascension realm expert who had placed his soul in the void and was constantly nourished by the Heavenly Dao.
However, it was undoubtedly a good thing to obtain news about Jiang Qiqi as soon as he arrived in the Heaven Realm.
Zheng Nanxun, who was following Cui Heng, was even more excited. She almost rushed down from the sky. After being stopped by Cui Heng, she said excitedly, “Ancestral Grandfather, it’s the aura of the Immortal Dawn Sword Art, it’s Master’s aura!”
“Yes.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and smiled. “There’s no hurry. Qingshu will handle it well.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a trace of Dharmic powers descended, allowing Pei Qingshu to escape the influence of the remaining Immortal Dawn Sword Art’s mark on the beast skin.
Actually, although this Immortal Dawn Sword Art’s mark occupied Pei Qingshu’s perception and made him feel dizzy, and it even suppressed the power of his Heavenly Dao Dharma Body, it did not cause any damage. Instead, it increased the strength of his body and made the power in his body flow more smoothly.
Clearly, this sword mark could not only be used to comprehend sword intent and sword techniques. If one looked at it often, it could also increase the strength of the body and the smoothness of the power in the body.
However, after Pei Qingshu woke up, he was still shocked. He looked at the sword mark on the beast skin in extreme shock and muttered, “What a powerful sword intent. This is… As expected of…”
Although he was extremely agitated, he did not mention the name of the sword technique or his Senior Sister in front of outsiders.
Pei Qingshu had been by Cui Heng’s side for so long, so he naturally knew that Li Mingqiong was not his only Senior Sister.
Before the two of them, there was still another Senior Sister.
She was the founder of the Daozhou Star’s Immortal Dawn Sect, Zheng Nanxun’s
master.
However, this Second Senior Sister had left Daozhou Star a long time ago and did not receive much guidance from her master.
Pei Qingshu originally thought that she was at most a Sage King or a Creator. He did not expect her to be so powerful.
“The power of a Heavenly God. Is this the power of a Heavenly God? I’m actually unable to resist!”
He was extremely surprised in his heart. Then, he followed Cui Heng’s instructions and took the beast skin. He asked, “It’s indeed extraordinary. I promise you that if Linshan Tribe suffers a calamity, I’ll definitely do my best to protect it. I wonder where you obtained this beast skin from?”
“Thank you, Lord God!” The priest was overjoyed when he saw Pei Qingshu accept the beast skin. The huge rock in his heart finally fell. Then, he explained, “It was actually a coincidence that I could obtain this beast skin. That was a day 50 years ago…”
According to the priest’s description, he had obtained this beast skin before he took over the position of priest. At that time, he was only at the level of the manifestation of the Shaman Markings. One time, when he was out hunting, he suddenly encountered a phenomenon.
A golden light illuminated the sky, almost competing with the sun in the sky. An angry roar resounded through the void like thunder, causing the ground to tremble and the mountains to shake.
This phenomenon lasted for half a day. In the end, amidst a sword cry that almost pierced through the world and the colorful clouds that filled the sky, everything returned to calm.
During this process, an unlucky flying beast was affected by the power contained in the colorful clouds and split into pieces on the spot, falling from the sky.
A sword mark was also left on the strongest piece of skin on the beast’s body.
It was the beast skin in Pei Qingshu’s hand.
This answer shocked Pei Qingshu even more. He thought to himself, “How powerful is my Senior Sister? Moreover, the sword mark left behind by the aftershock is still so powerful 50 years later…”
She was ridiculously powerful.
In the sky, Cui Heng was also a little surprised when he learned of this situation.
Originally, he felt that the power aura of this sword mark was slightly weaker than the Ninth Realm of the Immortal World. Perhaps it was because Jiang Qiqi had referenced the current cultivation method of the Heaven Realm when optimizing the Immortal Dawn Sword Art, so it had some flaws.
Now, it seemed that this was not the case.
To be able to leave behind such a powerful sword mark from afar, the power of the sword light Jiang Qiqi slashed out at that time had definitely reached the Ninth Realm of the Immortal World, or even slightly surpassed it.
“Such talent is really outstanding.” Cui Heng could not help but praise in his heart. Moreover, the priest’s explanation of the origin of this beast skin also brought him good news.
That was 50 years ago, Jiang Qiqi was still in this Green Stone Wasteland.
Even if she had already left the Green Stone Wasteland, she was most likely still in the Qinghua Domain or the Qingtian Region.
Perhaps he could really find her this time.
Although Cui Heng’s main goal in coming to the Immortal World was still his cultivation, it would be a good thing if he could find Jiang Qiqi, who had been away from him for hundreds of years.
Then, Pei Qingshu asked the priest about the place where he saw the colorful sword light. Cui Heng, who was in the air, remembered it and planned to let Zheng Nanxun go over to investigate and see if she could find any clues.
Other than Jiang Qiqi’s whereabouts, Cui Heng was also more concerned about the other thing the priest said.
Great calamity!
What was the source of this great calamity?
The Outer World’s corrosion?
Hence, Pei Qingshu continued to ask, “I wonder what the great calamity you mentioned just now is?”
“…” The priest fell silent when he heard this. He seemed to hesitate for a moment and asked curiously, “Lord God, are you from outside the Qingtian Region?”.
“I guess so.” Pei Qingshu nodded. This was really the truth.
“I see.” The priest seemed to have imagined something and looked enlightened. Then, he said, “You should know that according to the legends, in the ancient times, the living beings in this world were not like this.
Legend has it that the cultivation path of that era was also different from the current one. There were countless experts, and their civilization was incomparably dazzling. However, later on, a calamity that swept through the entire world suddenly descended, and countless ancient experts were buried under the ground.
From then on, every 10,000 years, a Scarlet Calamity will appear. A hundred regions will randomly be enveloped in scarlet light, and countless experts will revive from the ground and return from the abyss to wash the ground with blood.
Before the Scarlet Calamity truly descends, the regions that are going to be enveloped in the scarlet light will show some similar precursors in some areas. More than ten years ago, the Canglian Domain beside the Qinghua Domain had already erupted with the Scarlet Calamity, and countless living beings died.
I’m afraid even the Qinghua Domain will not be spared this time. Moreover, it’s said that the Green Stone Wasteland we’re in was once an ancient battlefield. If the Scarlet Calamity descends here, countless invincible experts will definitely revive from the ground.
According to the information from the Canglian Domain, the experts who revived from the ground don’t have consciousness. They only know how to kill. The strongest among them is even comparable to a god.
In the face of such a great calamity, without the protection of the gods, we will definitely
die!”
Towards the end, the priest’s face was ashen.
Clearly, he had already treated Pei Qingshu as his only hope.
