The Sword Named "Immortal Slaying"!
The Hehuan Sect Master's body swelled up, and just before he self-destructed, he was teleported outside Mount Shu by Ninth-Grade Spatial Talisman.
Outside Mount Shu, a dazzling flame appeared, shaking the heavens and earth. A shockwave swept in, but the Mount Shu people used their internal Cultivation Method to block it.
The four Sect Master looked at Lu Changsheng, their eyes revealing a hint of admiration.
Lu Changsheng's use of Talisman was so masterful that he managed to send the self-destructing Hehuan Sect Master out of Mount Shu in an instant using Ninth-Grade Spatial Talisman.
Otherwise, given the Hehuan Sect Master's Ninth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm, the destructive power generated by his self-destruction would cause considerable damage to Mount Shu.
After defeating the Demon Lord, Lu Changsheng quickly swallowed a Dragon Blood Returning Origin Pill to restore his True Qi as soon as possible.
The Demon-Suppressing Sword is incredibly powerful, capable of slaying Gods and Devils, but it also consumes an exorbitant amount of True Qi.
Lu Changsheng's True Qi had been exhausted more than once, and he was only able to keep going thanks to Medicinal Pills.
"Return."
With a thought, Lu Changsheng Demon-Suppressing Sword's white Scorching Sword Qi vanished, as if it had turned back into an ordinary Long Sword, which then disappeared into Lu Changsheng's body.
Fortunately, the Demon-Suppressing Sword is not Demon Sword, otherwise it wouldn't be so obedient.
"Receive."
Xia Ningxue exerted all her strength to barely retrieve the sect's Divine Sword from the Ask Immortal Pavilion.
The moment the Divine Sword was sheathed, Lu Changsheng caught a glimpse of two ancient seal characters engraved on the blade: "Immortal Slaying".
The Divine Sword returned to its scabbard, and the various mysterious Talisman affixed to the scabbard lit up, sealing the Divine Sword.
"Strange, the Ask Immortal Pavilion possesses such an astonishingly powerful Immortal Sword, yet its strength ranks last among the Six Great Sects, only surpassing the Artifact Refinement Sect. Could it be that one needs Special Physique to wield this sect's Divine Sword?"
Lu Changsheng realized that the Pavilion Master of Ask Immortal Pavilion had entered the Dao Integration Realm and her cultivation was higher than Xia Ningxue's. As a result, she did not use the sect's treasured immortal Immortal Sword, as her weapon was only a low-grade Immortal Sword.
Lu Changsheng keenly realized this, but Lu Changsheng didn't intend to pry into the secrets of other sects.
Xia Ningxue had exhausted all her True Qi, and her face was ashen, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness. So Lu Changsheng gave Xia Ningxue another Dragon Blood Returning Origin Pill.
Anyway, Lu Changsheng has plenty of Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pills.
"Give a proper burial to the deceased Elders and disciples, and cremate the corpses of the Demon Sects and the Demon Race."
After the Calamity, Taiyuan True Person immediately arranged for the surviving disciples of Mount Shu to rebuild Mount Shu.
Taiyuan True Person looked around and saw that many mountain peaks had been destroyed in the great battle. The palace complex on the Mount Shu Main Peak was no exception; it could not withstand the pressure of the Ancient Cauldron of the Demon Lord and was reduced to ashes.
The main hall of Mount Shu needs to be rebuilt.
The cave abode of the Elders on each peak of Mount Shu also need to be rebuilt.
"This humble monk performs a ritual to guide the souls of my deceased fellow practitioners into the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
High Person Wuxiang, along with the monks of Boundless Temple, chanted sutras to deliver the souls of the deceased.
The Five Great Sects and the powerful Rogue Cultivators of the Xia Kingdom gathered in front of the corpses of the fallen, their expressions solemn.
In this Calamity, nearly half of the powerful figures from the Five Great Sects and the Rogue Cultivators of the Xia Kingdom perished, and their forces were depleted.
If Lu Changsheng hadn't appeared out of nowhere, the righteous path in Xia Province might have been completely wiped out.
Lu Changsheng said to Zhao Wuyan beside him, "Senior Brother Zhao, I was fighting the Demon Lord and accidentally destroyed your Finger Moon Peak. Please forgive me."
Zhao Wuyan waved his hands repeatedly, not minding at all. "Junior Brother Lu, what are you saying? It's all thanks to you, Junior Brother Lu, that our Mount Shu was able to survive this Calamity. Even if we lose ten Finger Moon Peaks, it's only right."
Taiyuan True Person suddenly spoke, "You need not worry about these destroyed peaks. The Dao Ancestor originally laid out the Zhou Tian Zhou Tian Star-Dipper Great Formation with the 365 peaks of Mount Mount Shu, corresponding to the 365 main stars in the sky. He had already envisioned the day when the peaks of Mount Shu would be destroyed. Therefore, the array within Mount Shu will absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to repair the peaks and reform the Zhou Tian Star-Dipper Great Formation. In other words, Finger Moon Peak will return. During this time, Wuyan, you and your disciple will cultivate at my Myriad Sword Peak. During this time, I will personally guide you in cultivating the Taiqing Wuji Art. With your aptitude, you will eventually reach the Void Refinement Realm."
Lu Changsheng's combat strength surpassed that of Taiyuan True Person, and he had even cultivated the Taiqing Wuji Art to the Tenth-Layer Great Perfection. Taiyuan True Person had nothing left to guide Lu Changsheng, so he began to train other disciples.
Zhao Wuyan was overjoyed. With guidance from the Dao Integration Realm Taiyuan True Person, he was even more confident in reaching the Void Refinement Realm: "Thank you, Master!"
"The Formations inside Mount Shu are incredibly ingenious."
Lu Changsheng was secretly surprised.
He thought that after some of the peaks of Mount Shu were damaged, the Mountain-Guarding Divine Formation "Zhou Tian Star-Dipper Great Formation" would no longer be able to be activated. He never expected that Mount Shu could automatically repair its peaks.
Lu Changsheng had realized that Mount Shu, this unprecedentedly huge Hanging Mountain, was itself a great formation; otherwise, it would not have been able to float in the air for hundreds of thousands of years.
Mount Shu absorbs the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which is why it has been able to maintain its Formation and remain suspended in the air for hundreds of thousands of years without falling.
Because of the various Barriers that Lu Changsheng had set up in advance, and because it was not directly affected by the battle, Lu Changsheng's Azure Cloud Peak was spared from destruction.
"Young man, it's all thanks to your help this time. The Swordsmanship you and Xue'er have cultivated is truly astonishing in its power. It's just a pity that it's Swordsmanship that can only be used by two people, which may lead to disagreements in the future, making you vulnerable to being defeated one by one... This Swordsmanship also benefits from your combined Sword Dao Comprehension and the Immortal Swords you use. However, the fact that you actually possess Upper-Grade Immortal Sword that can rival the Demon Emperor Cauldron's Cauldron is truly beyond my expectations."
Because of Lu Changsheng, Su Qian'er was able to kill her nemesis Hehuan Sect Master, and officially acknowledge Lu Changsheng.
As the Pavilion Master of Ask Immortal Pavilion, having reached the Dao Integration Realm and being a master Sword Dao, she saw through the power and weaknesses of the Holy Spirit Swordsmanship.
The two used the Holy Spirit Swordsmanship, and its power was not just one plus one equals two, but even greater.
It requires two people to use, which is both the strength and the greatest weakness of the Holy Spirit Swordsmanship.
If the two disagree, or even face each other in a life-or-death struggle, the Holy Spirit Swordsmanship will not only be useless, but will also affect the cultivation of other Swordsmanship.
Yu Xuanji walked gracefully over and said softly, "The demon race and the Three Great Sects in the Desolate Province Demon Race still have remnants that have not been eliminated. In the next few years, our five Sects should wipe out these remnants to prevent any further complications."
"With the destruction of the Artifact Refinement Sect and the near-total loss of all its Artifact Refining forging experts, it will be extremely difficult for our Five Great Sects to obtain Innate Spirit Treasures and Immortal Artifacts in the future. Our Five Great Sects should each cultivate their own Artifact Refining Grandmaster."
"This is the only way."
The five Sect Master gathered to discuss rebuilding order in Xia Province.
The Desolate Province Demon Race suffered heavy losses. They lost their Demon Lord and fell into disarray. The Hehuan Sect Master perished, and the Hehuan Sect existed in name only.

The Myriad Poison Valley and the Demon-Summoning Devil Palace have suffered more than half their casualties. Most of them will go into hiding and flee to Other Provinces. They may perish here, or they may make a comeback in a thousand years.
The Five Great Sects decided to hunt down these remnants of the Demon Sects.
"Changsheng, come to Myriad Sword Peak."
While the Mount Shu Disciple were enthusiastically rebuilding the main hall, Taiyuan True Person summoned Lu Changsheng.
