The Immortal Maiden from a Hundred Thousand Years Ago! (4K)
"Master, he used Law Treasure to freeze space, Talisman can't be used."
Xiao Fan struggled desperately, his Heaven-Conquering Tyrant Body seemingly sinking into Marsh.
"Don't worry."
Lu Changsheng remained calm.
Protector Han used his supreme treasure to imprison space, preventing Lu Changsheng and the others from escaping using Spatial Talisman: "Last time you managed to escape by chance, but this time I've used Law Treasure to freeze the space within an eighty-mile radius. Even if you have Spatial Talisman, you won't escape death."
Protector Han's eyes were filled with hostility.
Several Law Treasures suspended in mid-air, such as the Fire Qilin Sword and the Dragon-Seeking Ruler, all came from the High Antiquity Cultivation Aristocratic Clan and each had its own unique uses.
"The human heart is more terrifying than the Evil Soul of the Nine Serenities, Protector Han. The reason you have been unable to take that final step to become Great Luo Golden Immortal is precisely because your heart is not pure. If you can repent and turn back from your misguided path, it will not be too late."
Shangguan Zhao'er realized why Protector Han had not yet become Great Luo Golden Immortal.
"I, Han Jie, have my own Great Dao; why should I need your interference?"
Protector Han activated his Cultivation Method, unleashing the aura of Peak Heavenly Immortal, and causing several supreme treasures to shine brightly.
Strong, extremely strong!
The Four Great Protectors of Jinglong Immortal Temple possessed strength surpassing that of many Heavenly Immortals.
"Die."
Protector Han activated the Fire Qilin Sword, Fire Qilin Sword flames soared into the sky, illuminating countless mountains within a hundred miles, Chimei Wangliang to wail in agony.
The oppressive force of the Fire Qilin Sword caused the mountain ranges to collapse, and flames formed a Fire Qilin with bristling whiskers and mane.
The Fire Qilin Sword, a Middle-Grade Supreme Treasure, is far more powerful in the hands of Protector Han than it is in the hands of Sun Peng.
Under the overwhelming sword power, the scorching sword wind alone made Lu Changsheng breathless.
Peak Heavenly Immortal, their strength is indeed terrifying.
"With your master personally taking action, unless a Great Luo Golden Immortal arrives, you will not escape this calamity."
Sun Peng was almost hysterical.
It's rare to see Master Protector Han, go all out.
The firelight was reflected in Protector Han's eyes; in his eyes, Lu Changsheng was like an ant.
A mere Earth Immortal is no match for a Peak Heavenly Immortal.
Unlike the Supreme Elder of the Yellow Springs Sect Grand Supreme Elders who was killed by Lu Changsheng, Protector Han used all his strength to hunt Lion, leaving Lu Changsheng no chance of survival.
That's truly ruthless!
"Kunlun Rhapsody!"
Having just recovered from a serious illness, Shangguan Zhao'er forcefully channeled her Righteous Qi, dipped her Sacred Brush in ink, and painted dragons and phoenixes on the golden Xuan paper.
A majestic, celestial mountain appeared, radiating boundless light.
However, under the divine power of the Fire Qilin Sword, the Divine Fire burned the cranes, plants and trees on the immortal mountain, evaporated the Cold Pool and waterfall, Lianshan.
Even the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, formed by Shangguan Zhao'er's Righteous Qi, could not stop the Fire Qilin Sword.
Middle-Grade Supreme Treasure activated by Peak Heavenly Immortal couldn't stop Shangguan Zhao'er.
"Puff."
Kunlun Immortal Mountain was destroyed, Shangguan Zhao'er was injured again, her pretty face pale.
Suddenly, a chilling Sword Qi flew in from tens of thousands of feet away!
Wherever the Sword Qi reached, the space froze!
The flames of the Fire Qilin Sword were extinguished instantly upon encountering the Ice Sword.
The sword went straight for Protector Han.
Protector Han was shocked. A Formation Diagram Law Treasure in his palm, and with the activation of his True Qi, it transformed into an unprecedentedly huge Taiji Diagram.
The Yin-Yang Qi circulated, frantically devouring the Ice Sword.
The Taiji Diagram trembled violently, the True Qi contained in the Ice Sword almost exceeding the range that the Taiji Diagram could withstand.
"Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal?!"
Protector Han's face was grim. Judging from the Sword Qi of the opponent, the swordsman was Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal, already having one foot in the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, not far from the true Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.
Heavenly Immortals and Earth Immortals can only be considered as Loose Immortals, while Great Luo Golden Immortals are the best among immortals.
Protector Han made a hand gesture, and in the next instant, he appeared next to Sun Peng, taking his Eldest Disciple with him as they transformed into a streak of light and fled.
Protector Han had roamed the Azure Domain for many years and knew that some beings were not to be trifled with; if one was even a step too late, one would die without a burial place.
Sure enough, a master came to the rescue.
Lu Changsheng broke out in a cold sweat.
If the system hadn't predicted that a master would step in to help, Lu Changsheng wouldn't have remained so calm.
However, this Ice Sword that came from afar gave Lu Changsheng a sense of déjà vu.
A beautiful figure appeared in Lu Changsheng's mind.
"Could it be Xia Ningxue?"
Lu Changsheng was startled. This Sword Qi secretly contained the True Qi refined from the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Art Cultivation Method. No wonder it felt so familiar.
Lu Changsheng transformed into a streak of light and gave chase.
Lu Changsheng cultivated in the Immortal Realm for over a thousand years, but still could not find out Xia Ningxue's whereabouts.
"Junior brother, your calculations are so precise! You even predicted that someone would come to your aid midway... Junior brother?"
Shangguan Zhao'er discovered that Lu Changsheng had gone to find the person who had saved them, so she also summoned her Flying Sword and chased after him with Xiao Fan and Ning Qianqian.
Lu Changsheng could see several thousand feet away, a woman carrying Immortal Sword was standing on a cliff, aloof from the world, her skirt fluttering, and the Evil Soul around her dared not approach.
"Xue'er? No, you're not Xue'er."
Lu Changsheng noticed that the woman was wearing White Outer Garment over a red dress, which was different from Xia Ningxue's style of dress.
As they got closer and saw the other person's face clearly, it was indeed not Xia Ningxue.
Although the other person is also stunningly beautiful, extraordinary, and has a captivating temperament, it is ultimately not the same.
However, her Cultivation Method is somewhat similar to Xia Ningxue's.
"Junior brother, what's wrong?"
Shangguan Zhao'er caught up with Lu Changsheng, she saw a hint of tenderness and a deep sense of loss in his eyes. For some reason, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Shangguan Zhao'er clutched her chest. She was already Great Accomplishment Heavenly Immortal, so why did she still feel this stabbing pain in her heart?
The female swordswoman on the cliff looked at Lu Changsheng, Shangguan Zhao'er, Xiao Fan, Ning Qianqian, and the others with a gaze as sharp as a sword and an icy demeanor.
"Thank Immortal Maiden for saving me, Immortal Maiden. May I ask your name?"
Lu Changsheng realized that this person was probably connected to Xia Ningxue, so he asked.
The female swordswoman seemed not to intend to answer, but instead turned and made a move to leave.
"Immortal Maiden, please wait. Do you cultivate Immortal Maiden Supreme Forgetting Emotions Art?"
Lu Changsheng was confident that his deduction was correct.
The female sword Cultivation Method must have used the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Art.
Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue had spent hundreds of years alone in the Cultivation Space, so they were extremely familiar with this set of Cultivation Method.
Xia Ningxue improved upon the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Art, so it differs slightly from the female sword Supreme Forgetting Emotions Art.
The female swordswoman's body trembled, and her eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Lu Changsheng was actually able to tell the origin of her Cultivation Method.
"Does the Immortal Maiden know of the Ask Immortal Pavilion? Or of Mount Shu?"
Who exactly are you people?
The female swordswoman's composed expression completely changed, and her beautiful face even revealed a look of pain.
Lu Changsheng's words stirred up the deepest memories in her mind.
She sealed away that memory, thinking she could forget that painful recollection forever.
But upon encountering Lu Changsheng, Lu Changsheng words loosened the seal, unleashing a flood of memories from the past ten thousand years— the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation descended, the Immortal Gates opened, and in the final moments, she witnessed her dao companion annihilated by Heavenly Thunder, plummeting into the earth. With the Immortal Gates open, the World Power repelled her, leaving no way back. She could only Ascension to the Immortal Realm alone...
All the vows and promises we made in the past are still vivid in my mind.
Unbeknownst to her, two lines of tears fell, and the female swordswoman's eyes reddened.
"Junior brother, could it be...?"
Shangguan Zhao'er heard Lu Changsheng mention Mount Shu and Ask Immortal Pavilion, with her intelligence, it wasn't hard for her to figure out what Lu Changsheng was trying to say.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Immortal Maiden should be the Qingxia Immortal Maiden, the Pavilion Master of Ask Immortal Pavilion from Ten Thousand Years Ago."
Lu Changsheng knew that only two people from the Ask Immortal Pavilion Ascension to the Immortal Realm, and the person in front of him was very likely the Qingxia Immortal Maiden he had mentioned many times.
Ten Thousand Years Ago, the Tai Xu True Person of Mount Shu and the Qingxia Immortal Maiden of the Ask Immortal Pavilion were two peerless beauties who suppressed an era. Later, the Qingxia Immortal Maiden Fairy Ascension ahead of time. In order to fulfill his promise, the Tai Xu True Person concealed his cultivation level and forcibly Tribulation Transcendence with the Qingxia Immortal Maiden.
Ultimately, the unprepared Tai Xu True Person failed in his attempt to Tribulation Transcendence.
Judging from Qingxia Immortal Maiden's expression, she still thought that Tai Xu True Person had vanished into thin air.
"That's right, I am Qingxia Immortal Maiden. Could it be that you are descendants of me Ascension from a Small World?"
The female swordswoman realized she had lost her composure, so she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"I am Lu Changsheng, a descendant of the Mount Shu sect. Greetings, senior."
"I am Shangguan Zhao'er, a descendant of the Crouching Dragon Temple. Greetings, senior."
Lu Changsheng and Shangguan Zhao'er were both extremely respectful.
Qingxia Immortal Maiden is a legendary figure from ten thousand years ago; it's unexpected that they would have the chance to meet her in the Immortal Realm.
Qingxia Immortal Maiden has cultivated in the Immortal Realm for 100,000 years and is now Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal!
"Mount Shu, Crouching Dragon Temple..."
Qingxia Immortal Maiden murmured the two names, her voice filled with longing, a mixture of melancholy and sighs.
"How is Mount Shu?"
Qingxia Immortal Maiden gently tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, her heart set on Mount Shu.
"Except for the Artifact Refinement Sect, which was destroyed in the Demon Sects Calamity, the other five Sects are all doing well."
"Oh? The Artifact Refinement Sect was wiped out?"
"The story goes like this..." Lu Changsheng briefly explained what had happened in the Mortal Realm over the past 100,000 years, adding at the end, "The Tai Xu True Person used Secret Method to escape this calamity and has lived through a thousand lifetimes in the Mortal Realm. He is still alive. If I'm not mistaken, a thousand years ago, he Ascension to the Immortal Realm."
"He... he's still alive?"
Qingxia Immortal Maiden stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, unable to believe it.
The Tai Xu True Person actually survived under seemingly impossible circumstances!
Is this really true?
"Absolutely true."
"Thank goodness, he's still alive..."
Qingxia Immortal Maiden's lips unconsciously curled up, her joy overflowing.
The man I've been longing for is still alive.
As expected, Tai Xu True Person had not forgotten their vows of eternal love, and he actually survived even under such extreme circumstances.
This is not only due to the Secret Method technique, but also to the extremely tenacious will of the Tai Xu True Person.
Tai Xu True Person reincarnated in the Mortal Realm for a thousand years in a mortal body before finally regaining his cultivation, all so that he could one day see Qingxia Immortal Maiden again.
However, Qingxia Immortal Maiden thought of something else, and her joyful expression turned cold again.
"Qingxia Immortal Maiden, what's wrong?"
Lu Changsheng's eyesight was incredibly sharp; he could tell at a glance that Qingxia Immortal Maiden had other worries on her mind.
Qingxia Immortal Maiden shook her head with a wry smile, "It's nothing."
Qingxia Immortal Maiden was unwilling to say more, and Lu Changsheng did not inquire further.
Lu Changsheng is not a meddlesome person.
Shangguan Zhao'er was somewhat relieved knowing that Lu Changsheng and Qingxia Immortal Maiden had little connection. "Why is Qingxia Immortal Maiden here?"
"I came to the Nine Serenities to vie for the Sacred Artifact. However, I was no match for the Nine-Spirit King and was pursued by him, thus accidentally entering the depths of the Nine Serenities."
"Who ultimately obtained the Sacred Artifact that was finally unearthed?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should have fallen into the hands of the Divine Sky Sect."
"The Divine Sky Sect is originally Immortal Gate. Now that their sect leader has obtained Sacred Artifact from the Nine Nether Lands, his strength is likely even greater. Even our master might not be his match. Junior brother, you must be even more careful from now on."
Upon hearing that the Sacred Artifact had fallen into the hands of the Divine Sky Sect, Shangguan Zhao'er became even more worried about Lu Changsheng's future.
Ning Qianqian, Lu Changsheng's disciple, is the target of the Divine Sky Sect.
If Lu Changsheng were to protect Ning Qianqian, he might be attacked by the Divine Sky Sect.
"The most urgent task is to find a way to leave the Nine Nether Lands. As for the threat from the Divine Sky Sect, we can deal with that later."
Lu Changsheng has Apprentice-Teaching Simulator. As long as he tells fortunes for his disciples every day, it won't be an easy task for the Divine Sky Sect Sect Master to kill him.
Unless the Divine Sky Sect Sect Master can force Lu Changsheng to make any choice, he will not escape his fate.
Shangguan Zhao'er pondered, "We don't have Law Treasure to find our way. Escaping from here will be extremely difficult. If we happen to encounter powerful Gods and Devils, we might all die here."
Qingxia Immortal Maiden chimed in, "The Nine Nether Lands are indeed quite strange. Some terrifying remnants of Gods and Devils could kill even Great Luo Golden Immortal, causing them to lose all their Immortal Qi and become part of the Nine Serenities."
"I have Secret Method to calculate the correct direction."
Lu Changsheng has Apprentice-Teaching Simulator that allows him to gradually deduce the direction of the teaching process.
"System, suppose I travel ten thousand miles in this direction, simulating Xiao Fan's life."
Lu Changsheng pointed in a direction and communicated with the system using his Divine Sense.
[Ding! You are now simulating the life of your Disciple, "Xiao Fan".]
[Ding, today's simulation attempts -1.]
[Simulation begins:]
[Xiao Fan and you traveled three thousand miles in this direction, where we encountered High Antiquity Gods and Devils Evil Soul.]
Xiao Fan died.
[Simulation ended.]
Three thousand miles away lies High Antiquity Gods and Devils Evil Soul that even Qingxia Immortal Maiden, Shangguan Zhao'er, and Lu Changsheng could not defeat.
But this means that there is basically no danger for the next two thousand miles.
We'll travel two thousand miles in this direction.
Lu Changsheng could use the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator to calculate the accurate way out step by step.
Shangguan Zhao'er and Qingxia Immortal Maiden exchanged a glance and both chose to believe Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng didn't seem like a reckless person.
Just as Lu Changsheng and his group were about to set off, a strange sound suddenly came from the Ten-Thousand-Zhang Abyss.
Lu Changsheng and his group all looked behind them at the Ten-Thousand-Zhang Abyss, a place said to be the death ground of even the Great Luo Golden Immortals. A beam of dazzling golden light escaped from the Ten-Thousand-Zhang Abyss, illuminating the Eternal Ages darkness.
This beam of golden light caused spatial tremors and temporal reversals, making it impossible for even the Ten-Thousand-Zhang Abyss to contain it.
Qingxia Immortal Maiden's expression changed. "Could it be that there isn't just one Sacred Artifact that has appeared in the Nine Nether Lands this time?"
Lu Changsheng, Shangguan Zhao'er, Xiao Fan, and Ning Qianqian stared intently, never expecting that they would accidentally witness the birth of a second Sacred Artifact.
Moreover, this is Law Treasure born from the very center of the Nine Nether Lands!
