Only later, overnight, the Heavenly Sect was attacked by the Demon God, and the entire sect perished, turning the Heavenly Sect into history. The process of Heavenly Sect’s destruction was known only to the involved parties.
The Female Sword Immortal was unwilling to mention this matter, and Xu Jing did not ask further, but instead said to her: “Do you have a place to go? If not, why not follow me in cultivation. As someone who has died and been resurrected, you might be able to comprehend the Cultivation Techniques of the Netherworld Realm, which combined with your former Swordsmanship, may forge a new great path.”
The Female Sword Immortal’s eyes lit up.
Her body was still suitable for cultivating the Sword Dao, having the Chaotic Sword Body, and with Xu Jing using the Cultivation Technique of the Netherworld Realm to help her resurrect, she now had the potential to practice the Cultivation Techniques of the Netherworld Realm.
If she could merge the Swordsmanship of the Heavenly Sect with the Cultivation Technique of the Netherworld Realm, and unite them as one, she might forge a new cultivation path.
Such an opportunity was rare and sought after.
Xu Jing and the Female Sword Immortal, both having resurrected through the bodies of fallen Human Race Great Experts, were special beings capable of practicing the unique Cultivation Techniques of the Netherworld Realm.
At the same time, they could also cultivate Human Race Cultivation Techniques.
Introducing the Cultivation Technique of the Netherworld Realm into the Human Race was unprecedented.
“I will teach you the Cultivation Techniques of the Netherworld Realm, and you teach me the Heavenly Sect’s Cultivation Techniques.”
As a form of repayment, the Female Sword Immortal, while being taught the Cultivation Techniques of the Netherworld Realm by Xu Jing, also imparted the Heavenly Sect’s Cultivation Techniques to him.
The Heavenly Sect was an Ancient super-sect, much stronger than current sacred lands like Mount Taihua, Yaochi, Changliu Mountain, and the Female Sword Immortal possessed the long-lost Cultivation Techniques of the Heavenly Sect, benefiting Xu Jing greatly through the exchange.
Originally, the Heavenly Sect’s Cultivation Techniques should not have been easily passed on, but since the Heavenly Sect no longer existed, the Female Sword Immortal’s act of teaching Xu Jing the sect’s Cultivation Techniques not only did not violate the sect rules but also allowed the Heavenly Sect’s Cultivation Techniques to be inherited.
“By the way, what is your name?”
Xu Jing still didn’t know the identity of this Heavenly Sect’s Female Sword Immortal.
The Female Sword Immortal hesitated for a moment, then said: “My name is Yun Qianyue.”
…
In Mount Taihua Sacred Land, Scripture Pavilion, Lu Changsheng, after returning from the Heavenly Court, did not immediately go into seclusion for cultivation, but went to the Scripture Pavilion and exchanged for ancient texts from the Ancient Times using Sect Contribution Points.
One of the texts was personally written by the Taihua Sword Maiden, the founder of Mount Taihua Sacred Land, and it recorded some of her experiences.
“There is no record of why the Taihua Sword Maiden left the Mysterious Lady Palace back then…”
Lu Changsheng did not find any evaluation of the Mysterious Lady Palace by the Taihua Sword Maiden.
Lu Changsheng’s sixth disciple, Chen Yao, was in the Mysterious Lady Palace, so Lu Changsheng thought to peruse records about the Mysterious Lady Palace, only to find that it seemed the Taihua Sword Maiden did not want to mention anything about the Mysterious Lady Palace.
“When the Taihua Sword Maiden was serving as one of the twelve Sword Maidens of the Heavenly Court’s Mysterious Lady Palace, she once descended to the Lower Realm to visit the Heavenly Sect, which was then known as the number one Sword Dao Holy Land in the world…”
Lu Changsheng became interested upon seeing records related to the Heavenly Sect in the text written by the Taihua Sword Maiden.
There wasn’t much recorded about the Heavenly Sect.
The Heavenly Sect had fallen in the first Ancient Great War, and the Mount Taihua Sacred Land was established after the second Ancient Great War, so the records about the Heavenly Sect were few and far between, with only Ancient Great Powers from the same era as the Heavenly Sect possessing related records.
And the Taihua Sword Maiden seldom left behind texts.
Only by virtue of his status as the Holy Son of Mount Taihua could Lu Changsheng read the manuscripts of the Taihua Sword Maiden.
“At the time, as the Holy Land of Sword Dao in the Lower Realm, the members of the Heavenly Sect thought highly of themselves, believing that even the twelve Sword Maidens of the Mysterious Lady Palace were nothing special. Thus, when the Taihua Sword Maiden visited, the Heavenly Sect sent Supreme Elders to challenge her, only to be consecutively defeated. The Taihua Sword Maiden defeated thirteen Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Sect in a row, causing many Elders and Disciples of the Heavenly Sect to feel disgraced.”
“The Taihua Sword Maiden was indeed formidable.”
Lu Changsheng could sense the pride in the delicate writing of the Taihua Sword Maiden.
The twelve Sword Maidens of the Ancient Mysterious Lady Palace were extremely powerful.
The Taihua Sword Maiden ranked fifth at the Ancient Mysterious Lady Palace.
During the first ancient war, the Taihua Sword Maiden, wielding the Taihua Divine Umbrella, inflicted heavy damage on the World-Ending Black Dragon and slaughtered many strong warriors of the Demon Race.
In the second ancient war, the Taihua Sword Maiden, with her own power, defeated two Demon Lords.
The records of the Taihua Sword Maiden indicate that during her visit to the Heavenly Sect, she also demonstrated astonishing strength, defeating thirteen Supreme Elders of the “Heavenly Sect,” an ancient super sword sect, causing a sensation in the Heavenly Sect, leaving many Supreme Elders without face.
The Mysterious Lady Palace had not even sent out the First Sword Maiden; merely the Fifth Sword Maiden of Taihua managed to defeat their thirteen Supreme Elders. How could they claim to be the number one sect in the world then?
Lu Changsheng continued to read on; after the Taihua Sword Maiden consecutively defeated thirteen Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Sect, the Sect Leader had his Chief Senior Disciple, then the number one Sword Dao Genius of the Lower Realm, battle against the Taihua Sword Maiden.
“The Taihua Sword Maiden was defeated…”
Lu Changsheng, seeing that the Taihua Sword Maiden admitted defeat to the opponent in the records, couldn’t help but feel that the Taihua Sword Maiden was indeed a person with a broad and magnanimous heart.
Defeat is defeat, and the Taihua Sword Maiden did not use any rhetoric.
“There’s a reason the Heavenly Sect became a sacred land of Sword Dao. Without the Sect Leader even making a move, someone was able to defeat the Taihua Sword Maiden ranked fifth from the Ancient Mysterious Lady Palace. No wonder the Heavenly Sect was so ostentatious back then. The name of the Sword Dao Genius who defeated the Taihua Sword Maiden at the time was… Yun Qianyue.”
“According to the Taihua Sword Maiden’s records, this Yun Qianyue had the Chaotic Sword Body and was revered as the top Sword Dao Genius of the Lower Realm at the time. She was taken as a Direct Disciple by the Heavenly Sect Leader, with high hopes placed on her. She had access to the sect’s resources at her disposal, and she even had the potential to become the next Heavenly Sect Leader.”
“It’s unexpected that there were so many exceptional geniuses during the Ancient Times. It’s just regrettable that this Yun Qianyue also perished along with the Heavenly Sect.”
Lu Changsheng flipped through the subsequent records in the book, and there was no more information related to Yun Qianyue.
The Taihua Sword Maiden had not recorded anything about the extermination of the Heavenly Sect either.
After that, it was about the Demon Lord’s great battle with the Ancient Celestial Court, where the Taihua Sword Maiden, as one of the twelve Sword Maidens of the Mysterious Lady Palace, led the disciples of the Mysterious Lady Palace to confront the experts of the Demon Realm.
“Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable…”
Lu Changsheng noticed that among the records, the Taihua Sword Maiden mentioned the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable more times than the other Demon Lords, and they even fought each other, resulting in the Taihua Sword Maiden’s defeat.
The strength of the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable was formidable among Demon Lords, ranking at the forefront, only second to the Demon Marshal and the Demon Lord himself.
“Perhaps there is some hidden story between the Taihua Sword Maiden and the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, or else the Taihua Sword Maiden would not have mentioned the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable multiple times in the records, but from this volume, the connection between the two cannot be discerned.”
Lu Changsheng closed the book.
With the knowledge about the Taihua Sword Maiden now clear in his heart.
Lu Changsheng then reviewed the records described by the other ancestors of Taihua.
“Jiang Yun, the Chief Senior Disciple recruited by the Taihua Sword Maiden after descending to the Lower Realm, also an ancestor of the Jiang Family, wrote about the establishment of various Holy Lands after the second ancient war. At that time, the Ancient Celestial Court was shattered by a punch from the Demon Lord, the Heavenly Emperor rebuilt the Heavenly Court, while the Purple Void Palace decided to separate from the Ancient Celestial Court. All the Elders and disciples of the Purple Void Palace moved to the Kunlun Forbidden Land, leveling the forbidden land with their unparalleled power, forcibly turning the Kunlun Forbidden Land into a Cave Heaven Blessed Land.”
“The Guanghan Palace was also one of the hundred thousand Divine Palaces of the Ancient Celestial Court, relocated to the Endless Ice Field in the northern part of the Immortal Realm. However, due to weaker foundations compared to Purple Void Palace, it did not cause much of a stir at that time.”
“The creator of the Lianshan Holy Land was the Pill Saint from Douluo Palace.”
“…”
Lu Changsheng learned much about the Ancient Times from the top-tier records in the Scripture Pavilion.
Mount Taihua Sacred Land has given birth to numerous Divine Kings and Great Experts. The records they left behind contain not only various tales of the Ancient Times but also the status of various forbidden lands throughout the Immortal Realm.
“Master, I’ve returned.”
Xu Jing returned to Yuntai Peak, bringing back the reborn Sword Maiden of the Heavenly Sect.
Lin Qingzhi, Lu Qinglian, Ning Qianqian, Xiao Fan, Dugu Aotian, and others curiously sized up this Sword Maiden.
Xiao Fan whispered to Xu Jing, “Xu, you’re really something. You went out to cultivate and managed to bring back a peerless beauty.”
