One Hundred Thousand Years of Humiliation, Awaiting This Day

Someone, I don't know who, said softly, their eyes filled with shock.

The rest of the people were all stunned on the spot.

This was a Spiritual Treasure!

Even if it was just a Houtian Spiritual Treasure, it was still a treasure that ordinary Golden Immortals envied and some Grand Unity Golden Immortals used!

If it weren't for the fact that they were disciples of the Three Sects, a Mystic Immortal would never have been able to possess such a treasure!

Yet, it was so easily crushed by Lin Changqing!

Although the golden long sword lost the support of the Sect of Elucidation immortal's magic power when it was crushed, the scene was still shocking enough.

"Hahaha! Sect of Elucidation disciples, see that? You killed my Senior Disciple Brother, and my Senior Disciple Brother can crush your Spiritual Treasure with just one hand!"

"Arrogant! You still dared to threaten my Senior Disciple Brother. Now look, your only Spiritual Treasure is gone."

Within the Sect of Interception, laughter erupted.

For the past hundred thousand years, the resentment in their hearts seemed to be crushed along with the golden long sword, dissipating by more than half.

It felt so good!

"...Lin Changqing!!!"

"How dare you! How dare you crush my Spiritual Treasure! That was bestowed by my master!"

"You dare to crush a treasure bestowed by a Saint, and you still dare to speak of respecting elders and teachers!"

At this moment, the Sect of Elucidation immortal could no longer hold back. Rage surged from his heart, and he roared towards Lin Changqing's location.

However, his words trembled slightly with an undeniable fear.

That was a Houtian Spiritual Treasure!

In the Primordial World, anything called a Spiritual Treasure was an extremely rare item, something even Grand Unity Golden Immortals would fight over.

Now that it was crushed, who wouldn't feel heartbroken?

But he was even more afraid.

Because the one who crushed the treasure was a good-for-nothing Houtian Being with a cultivation level comparable to his own!

The Sect of Elucidation immortal looked towards the Twelve Golden Immortals, and then towards the Sect of Elucidation Immortal Palace.

Behind him stood the Twelve Golden Immortals, his Senior Brothers!

And his master, a Saint!

He was merely a Houtian Being, someone who would never reach the Golden Immortal realm in his lifetime. What was there to fear?

Suddenly, the Mystic Immortal of the Sect of Elucidation regained his confidence.

Little did he know that the Twelve Golden Immortals, whom he relied on, were also in shock.

A Houtian Spiritual Treasure. Within the Twelve Golden Immortals, apart from Senior Disciple Brother Guang Chengzi who was bestowed an Innate Spiritual Treasure, the rest of them were all using Houtian Spiritual Treasures!

Houtian Spiritual Treasures were still powerful. How could Lin Changqing crush one so easily? How dare he! How is it possible!

Meanwhile, Yuanshi, within the Sect of Elucidation Immortal Palace, was also profoundly shaken.

On Kunlun Mountain, only a handful of people had seen through the reason why Lin Changqing could crush the Houtian Spiritual Treasure.

It was that brownish-red aura!

Yuanshi was one of them, and his brow was already furrowed.

He felt a sense of doubt. This Houtian Being must have found some unorthodox cultivation method from his Third Brother.

Under this cultivation, he seemed to be on the verge of breaking through his limitations, and possessed such immense power!

Third Brother, where exactly did you find this opportunity?

Yuanshi looked towards the Sect of Interception Immortal Palace.

In his opinion, this must have been Tongtian's doing. He could never have imagined that this was an opportunity Lin Changqing, a disciple who hadn't even reached Golden Immortal, had obtained himself.

After all, Lin Changqing had only descended the mountain and entered the Primordial World a handful of times in the past million years. How could it be possible!

And Tongtian's shock was no less than Yuanshi's.

He only knew that Lin Changqing's opportunity was an eccentric cultivation method.

But he had never expected that this cultivation method would allow Lin Changqing, who was only at the Mystic Immortal stage, to crush a Houtian Spiritual Treasure!

One must understand, being fearless of a Houtian Spiritual Treasure and crushing a Houtian Spiritual Treasure are two different things.

In the Primordial World, even Grand Unity Golden Immortals found it difficult to damage a Houtian Spiritual Treasure. As for Innate Spiritual Treasures, only Saints could break them!

This was an ironclad rule, and Lin Changqing had broken it!

Tongtian sighed slowly, and finally, the corners of his mouth curved upwards.

"Hahahaha! Second Brother, the Changqing you looked down upon is finally showing his brilliance!"

"This is my disciple! So what if he's a Houtian Being? Who says Houtian Beings cannot seek the Great Dao?"

"With Changqing alone, my Sect of Interception can seize a sliver of hope for survival!"

Tongtian looked at Lin Changqing, his joy deepening. This is my disciple of the Sect of Interception, the best representative of our teachings!

On Kunlun Mountain, within the Black and White Dao Palace, the old Daoist, who had been squinting, now opened his eyes completely.

Though his face remained as calm as a still pond, his eyes revealed a trace of shock.

"So this is the 'variable'?"

"Excellent."

The Daoist praised in a long voice, but his words did not travel more than a hundred meters, dissipating before they even left the Black and White Dao Palace. Not a single other person heard him.

And on Kunlun Mountain, there was one more person who saw through all of this.

Within a side hall of the Sect of Elucidation's Immortal Palace, a Daoist held a wooden staff, a green lamp hung from it, a sash was tied around his waist, and a jade ruler was slung across his back.

He now looked towards Lin Changqing, his eyes narrowed.

"Such a miraculous technique, to grant a Mystic Immortal such strength?"

"If only it were mine..."

His voice was still faint, not extending more than half an inch around him.

And if any disciple of the Sect of Elucidation were present, they would surely cup their hands and bow, calling him "Teacher."

This was Randeng Daoist, the Vice-Sect Master of the Sect of Elucidation.

Aside from these individuals, the disciples of the Sect of Elucidation did not understand the implications. Relying on their numbers, they continued to berate Lin Changqing, their anger even greater.

"Lin Changqing! You destroyed the Spiritual Treasure bestowed by my master, showing disrespect to my master and to the Saints!"

"You claim to uphold the laws of the Three Sects, how will you punish yourself!"

At this moment, the disciple whose Spiritual Treasure had been destroyed gained confidence seeing so many fellow disciples speaking for him, and he once again angrily rebuked Lin Changqing.

Lin Changqing, however, let out a cold snort.

This is exactly what I wanted – your defiance, your incessant chatter!

Only then will I have a reason to beat you into submission!

It was precisely for this reason that Lin Changqing had summoned the power from half of his acupoints to crush a Houtian Spiritual Treasure.

And now, the power wrapped around Lin Changqing was only from four hundred acupoints, a little weaker than before.

It seemed he had expended too much energy crushing the Houtian Spiritual Treasure just now and was now somewhat weakened.

This was the best way to lure the snakes out of their holes.

"Hmph! His aura is weak now, he must be lacking strength. Let's all attack together, capture him, and drag him to see our master. Let's see what he says then!"

The immortals of the Sect of Elucidation communicated with each other via telepathy, their expressions turning fierce.

"But what if he still has strength? Our Spiritual Treasures..."

Someone asked worriedly through telepathic communication.

The person who had spoken earlier's eyes became even more ruthless.

"Hmph! We will attack directly, no need for Spiritual Treasures."

"I don't believe that with the Three Pure Ancestors above, he, Lin Changqing, would dare to kill us!"

"Attack!!"

Fierce shouts echoed through their telepathic communication, and the disciples of the Sect of Elucidation moved in an instant.

This time, no one dared to use Houtian Spiritual Treasures. They all unleashed various divine abilities.

In an instant, palm shadows a hundred feet wide flew, a single finger pierced through the heavens, illusory mountains spanning vast distances collapsed, and a river stretching for a thousand miles dissolved into the world.

The disciples of the Sect of Elucidation attacked without restraint, intending to harm someone on Kunlun Mountain!

At this moment, the difference was immense.

In the eyes of these Sect of Elucidation immortals, destroying their Spiritual Treasures was a mortal enmity!

But in the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, treasures were just treasures, and Lin Changqing had not yet crossed the line, nor had he harmed anyone from the Sect of Elucidation.

But now, the Sect of Elucidation had initiated the killing intent, intending to heavily injure Lin Changqing. The outcome would be entirely different!

"Hmph! You are rampant! I am the Senior Disciple Brother of the Three Sects. You disobey the laws and are punished by me. Not repenting is one thing, but now you wish to kill me!!"

"Today, I shall uphold the laws of the Three Sects!!"

The ten thousand years of humiliation for the Sect of Elucidation disciples ends today!!
