Chapter 319: Chapter 261: The Demon Dao Takes Advantage, Wan Wushuang’s Surprise

Just as Lin Chang’sheng and Yu Wenjing hurried on toward the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm.

In the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm, deep within a ten-thousand-foot abyss.

Here, there was a massive, empty great hall exuding an ancient and weighty aura.

The great hall was upheld by 108 gigantic stone pillars, each thick enough that five men would be needed to encircle it.

On the pillars, there were engravings of mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars.

Around the hall, more than a dozen lamp trays half a zhang in diameter, each cradling a giant Luminous Bead, illuminated the place as bright as day.

At the very center of the hall rested a massive coffin, three zhang long and as lustrous as jade.

Beneath the coffin, a pedestal crafted of Cold Ice White Jade shimmered with incredible extravagance.

Silently lying within the coffin was a middle-aged man with a refined and scholarly appearance.

From his body emanated a cultivation aura that far surpassed the Nascent Soul Stage.

”Damn little insect, if you hadn’t stolen my grand array, I would’ve long since recovered from my injuries! At least the Celestial Stone Crystal Jade Coffin has absorbed plenty of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for my use, greatly speeding up my recovery. In three more years, when I get out of here, I’ll grind you to dust and scatter your bones!”

The scholarly man roared in anger.

Over these hundreds of years, there had been two pests who came here to stir up trouble.

One came three hundred years ago, the other just recently.

The first had simply absorbed some spiritual energy and tempered his Divine Soul before leaving. But the second actually stole the very foundation of his grand array—utterly infuriating.

Once he got out of here, he would never let that person off.

...

Southern Domain Cultivation Realm.

By now, the place was in complete chaos.

Though someone had broken through to become a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, which should’ve been a good thing for the Southern Realm,

the person who broke through, however, was hardly a decent sort.

At this moment, the Four Great Immortal Sects were running around in panic.

Because the one-month deadline was fast approaching.

If the Four Great Immortal Sects failed to attend the Immortal Ascension Conference held by Su Changkong at Liuyun Immortal Sect, Su Changkong would surely seize the opportunity to deal them a heavy blow.

Inside Celestial Sword Sect.

The leaders of the Four Great Sects had all gathered to discuss their options.

”If worst comes to worst, we’ll go all out against Su Changkong! There’s no way I’d let a scum like him unite the entire Southern Domain Cultivation Realm!”

Zhao Cheng of Golden Talisman Sect shouted in anger.

If Su Changkong thought Zhao Cheng would ever submit, he couldn’t be more wrong.

”That’s right! The four of us banding together still stand a chance. Even if we perish, it’ll be a worthy death!”

Fierce Sun Dao Venerable of Yin Yang Dao Sect echoed fiercely.

Though there remained a sizable gap between the Middle Stage Nascent Soul and a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, with all four joining forces and unleashing their full strength, it wasn’t impossible to fight back.

At that moment, only Wang Chonglou of Celestial Sword Sect and Ling Yue from Yanyue Immortal Sect were silent.

Though they too were unwilling to die senseless deaths, it seemed they were left with no other choice now.

This battle was one they could no longer avoid.

If it could not be avoided, why sit and wait for the attack?

”If that’s the case, then we must attend this Immortal Ascension Conference. Rather than wait for Su Changkong to bring the fight to us, we should strike first!”

Ling Yue offered the suggestion.

This way, at least thousands of disciples might be spared needless death.

If they themselves fell in battle, Su Changkong likely wouldn’t bother the remaining disciples—at most, he’d just find someone else to take over the Four Great Immortal Sects.

”I agree with Jiaoyue Fairy’s suggestion! If escape is impossible, then let’s strike while he’s unprepared!”

Wang Chonglou’s eyes flashed with Sword Aura as he nodded to Ling Yue’s idea.

”Then we fight!”

Zhao Cheng and Fierce Sun Dao Venerable agreed instantly.

The group then departed to make preparations and leave their parting words.

They were ready to fall in battle.

...

Demon Evil Sea.

Under Jiang Yuyan of Celestial Demon Sect’s lead, the Demon Dao had gathered an army of over 100,000 cultivators, setting out toward the Southern Realm.

They planned to seize the opportunity and invade while the leading powers were away at the Immortal Ascension Conference at Liuyun Immortal Sect, snatching up vast Southern Realm territory.

This time, even the Celestial Demon Sect Patriarch had come along.

Because Demon Evil Sea was no longer suitable for human habitation.

Ever since Sea God Tower opened, the Demon Evil Storms had only grown more violent.

This time, the Demonic Cultivators intended to put down roots in the Southern Realm once and for all.

”Master, with you and the Patriarch both taking action, how could Su Changkong ever match us alone? The Southern Realm is as good as ours!”

Wan Wushuang was full of confidence. After all, she saw the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm as containing only Su Changkong as a single Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

Whereas they had two.

Even though Celestial Ghost Sect and Corpse King Sect had fallen, the core strength of the Demon Evil Sea was unaffected.

Their side had not only two Nascent Soul Great Cultivators, but also five Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, twelve Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, over a hundred Golden Core Experts, and more than a hundred thousand Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivators.

This massive force was not something anyone could easily stand against.

”What’s there to fear about Su Changkong? What worries me more is that Lin Chang’sheng kid—he might just end up being a stumbling block to unifying the Southern Realm!”

A hint of concern flashed in Jiang Yuyan’s eyes.

After all, Lin Chang’sheng’s talent was simply too monstrous.

He was a prodigy who’d reached the peak of the Refining God Ladder—definitely not to be underestimated.

That brat was just over twenty years old but had already broken through to Nascent Soul Stage.

If he was given another twenty years, wouldn’t becoming a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator be a breeze for him?

Once Lin Chang’sheng achieved Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, he’d be their toughest adversary.

”Lin Chang’sheng?”

Wan Wushuang repeated the name, feeling a jolt of shock in her heart.

She hadn’t expected her master to fearlessly disregard Su Changkong, but to worry that Lin Chang’sheng might prove a stumbling block instead?

Could Lin Chang’sheng really have such terrifying potential?

”That guy is so damn infuriating!”

Wan Wushuang’s anger burned at the thought of the humiliation Lin Chang’sheng had caused her.

Yet she had to admit, his talent truly was incomparable to ordinary cultivators.

Little did Wan Wushuang and Jiang Yuyan know, Lin Chang’sheng didn’t need twenty years at all to reach Nascent Soul Great Cultivator. All it took was wiping out the Beimu Immortal Race and absorbing the magical power of numerous cultivators to successfully advance.

...

Ten days later.

Lin Chang’sheng finally arrived at the Southern Realm with Yu Wenjing in tow.

Lin Chang’sheng first brought Yu Wenjing to Great Yu and set her down there. After all, it would be dangerous for her to keep following him.

She was originally the Empress of Great Yu; this was her true home.

”Your Majesty?”

When Jin Wuque saw Yu Wenjing’s return, he was overjoyed.

Three months had passed—he thought Yu Wenjing must have perished.

He never expected that Lin Chang’sheng would miraculously rescue her and bring her back safely.

All the soldiers immediately knelt, welcoming back their Empress.

”Chang’sheng, thank you!”

After landing, Yu Wenjing thanked Lin Chang’sheng, her heart filled with reluctance, though she couldn’t find words to make him stay.

She understood—Lin Chang’sheng was no longer part of Great Yu.

”Wenjing, there’s no need to thank me between the two of us. You’ve helped me plenty in the past!”

Lin Chang’sheng smiled back at her.

After exchanging a few heartfelt words, Lin Chang’sheng took to the sky and headed straight for Liuyun Immortal Sect.

Because the moment he entered the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm, he’d already heard about the Immortal Ascension Conference.

He’d heard the Four Great Immortal Sects had all headed there, and he guessed they wouldn’t submit to Su Changkong, perhaps even plotting something of their own.

Lin Chang’sheng was worried the Four Great Immortal Sects would encounter danger, so he had to rush over immediately.

”Chang’sheng, take care. From now on, I fear there’s little I can do to help you...”

Yu Wenjing watched Lin Chang’sheng’s departing figure, her heart filled with loss.

Back when Lin Chang’sheng had yet to grow into an Immortal Master, she truly could have lent a hand.

But now, Lin Chang’sheng was powerful enough to wipe out all the Beimu Immortal Race’s experts by himself.

That kind of strength—she could only gaze up at him in awe.
