357: Chapter 357 Luo Qingxian Makes a Move

Canglan Holy Court.

Ji Taichang, who was currently drinking and making merry with the Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court and a group of other experts, suddenly raised his head. He looked toward the direction of the Eastern Desolate Region, his expression changing slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, have you encountered some trouble?"

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court keenly noticed the change in Ji Taichang's expression.

Ji Taichang took a deep breath, his face solemn, and relayed the news Yun Qiyao had told him.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Canglan Holy Court was greatly shocked!

"A mysterious crack appeared in the sky above the Eastern Desolate Region, and the Holy Lord of Water Moon Holy Land deduced a world-ending disaster!?"

"Could it be that Extraterrestrial Demons are invading the Qingling Realm again?"

In the ancient era, Extraterrestrial Demons had invaded the Qingling Realm, turning the Northern Desert Region upside down. Earth veins were severed, numerous Sects and experts fell, and the common people were plunged into misery!

Now, the anomaly in the Eastern Desolate Region caused everyone to subconsciously associate it with that event.

"Canglan Holy Court is not too far from the Eastern Desolate Region. If a world-ending crisis descends, Canglan Holy Court will definitely be affected!"

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court made a prompt decision: "Fellow Daoist Ji, I will go with you to check the situation!"

"Good!"

Ji Taichang set off immediately. Cai Ling activated the square inch chessboard to open a void channel, and they quickly returned to Shuiyue Holy Land.

Long Yiling watched Ji Taichang's departing figure, biting her lower lip slightly, her gaze somewhat complex.

For some reason, she felt an emptiness in her heart.

"Hmph! Stinky man..."

...

After Ji Taichang returned to Shuiyue Holy Land, he looked up at the firmament and was instantly shaken!

At the highest point of the sky, a massive black crack had appeared, looking as if the vast galaxy itself had been torn apart. It was like a god opening an eye—deep, boundless, and incredibly terrifying.

With just a single glance, Ji Taichang's heart throbbed, and his Soul felt a surge of horror.

It felt as if looking at it for one more second would make him explode!

That was a form of power suppression coming from a higher level and a higher dimension!

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court was not as strong as Ji Taichang. When she looked up, she felt as if she had been struck by a heavy blow; she let out a muffled groan, her face turning pale!

"This... just what is this?!"

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court's face was filled with horror.

"Mas... Xiao Chang, what should we do now?"

Yun Qiyao, Nan Yin, and the others gathered around, their faces full of worry.

Ji Taichang's expression was grave: "First, transfer some of the Holy Land's geniuses to the Peacock Clan in the Southern Ocean Region. Stay away from the Eastern Desolate Region, just in case."

"I will go to Setting Sun Valley to discuss a countermeasure with Revered Master."

Boom!!!

Before he could finish speaking.

A deafening roar erupted from above the firmament, and the entire Eastern Desolate Region began to tremble, as if a massive earthquake was occurring!

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd.

An indescribably massive palm reached out from the black crack, covering the sky. It was accompanied by endless flashes of lightning, surging Chaos mist, and bursts of Immortal Qi!

Even the Heavenly Dao's great power was revived, transforming into chains of order that locked onto the giant palm, attempting to block it.

That mysterious palm was too terrifying. Its ocean-like, majestic Aura seemed capable of tearing the entire Qingling Realm apart. Even with thousands of chains of order wrapped around it and endless heavenly thunder striking down, it still slowly pressed downward!

There was no doubt that if this giant hand fell, the entire Eastern Desolate Region would be reduced to ashes and cease to exist!

That world-destroying Divine Might had already exceeded the limits of this realm!

"This... what on earth is this thing!"

"Could it be an Immortal from the Upper Realm crossing over?"

The Holy Lord of Canglan Holy Court's face changed drastically, her voice trembling slightly!

She had seen detailed records of the Extraterrestrial Demons' invasion of the Qingling Realm in ancient texts, but that scene and pressure were nowhere near the level of the present moment!

Yun Qiyao, Nan Yin, and the others were also pale, their faces showing terror.

Even Ji Taichang was grave to the extreme, preparing to summon the Immortal Artifact, the nine-rank lotus platform, to take the people of Shuiyue Holy Land and flee.

Clang—

At this critical juncture, a clear, sharp sword hum suddenly echoed, as if crossing infinite space and sounding from the other end of the long river of time.

In the astonished eyes of Ji Taichang's group.

Brilliant and eternal Immortal light burst out from a corner of the Eastern Desolate Region. The Sword Qi was Immortal, and the Immortal light was magnificent, illuminating the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!

Puchi!

An Immortal sword soared into the sky, actually splitting that giant palm in two. Terrifying blood dripped down, piercing through the vast earth and emitting an ocean-like Evil Qi!

"Seal!!"

A cold, light shout rang out.

The immortal dao runes engraved on the Immortal sword burst forth with immeasurable radiance. A supreme and holy power of Law radiated out, transforming into a heaven-shaking Seal that forcibly sealed the massive crack in the sky, causing it to slowly heal!

In a daze.

Ji Taichang and his group seemed to hear terrifying low roars filled with anger and unwillingness, like the whispers of ancient gods, which gradually dissipated as the crack healed.

The terrifying crack closed, and the Immortal sword gradually merged into the firmament and disappeared. The clear sky was restored, as if nothing had ever happened.

But Ji Taichang and his group were covered in cold sweat, feeling as if they had just survived a disaster!

Yun Qiyao opened her mouth, looked at Ji Taichang, and said in a low voice: "The direction that Immortal sword flew from... seems to be Setting Sun Valley!"

Ji Taichang nodded slightly: "The plan remains the same. You and Cai Ling transfer some of the Holy Land's geniuses to the Peacock Clan. I will go to Setting Sun Valley to discuss with Revered Master!"

After saying that, he directly tore through space, crossed the void, and quickly headed toward Setting Sun Valley.

Not long after he entered Setting Sun Valley, he saw Bai Shuixian, dressed in plain clothes, appear out of thin air, her expression calm and indifferent.

"Revered Master, that sword strike just now..."

"I was the one who struck it."

Bai Shuixian directly nodded and admitted it.

Ji Taichang's eyes widened a bit. Just as he wanted to continue questioning, Bai Shuixian said: "I know what you want to ask, but now is not the time to tell you. Go back and Cultivate in peace. You will only be qualified to touch these secrets once you reach at least the Tribulation Transcendence Stage."

"I have already used the Immortal sword to suppress the space channel. They won't be able to cross over for a short time. It's enough for you and Wanqing to Cultivate to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage."

The doubts in Ji Taichang's heart only increased instead of decreasing.

But since Bai Shuixian was unwilling to speak, Ji Taichang could only suppress his questions and turn to leave.

"The Aura of that sword strike just now clearly exceeded the limits of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage. That was Immortal dao power!"

"Rumor has it that Luo Qingxian ascended to the Immortal Realm in the ancient era. I originally thought she had failed her Ascension and hid in the Forbidden Zone of Life, relying on undying substances to survive. Now it seems that's not the case!"

"But since ancient times, of those who ascended to the Immortal Realm, no one has ever been able to return, and no great power from the Immortal Realm has ever crossed over. If Revered Master really succeeded in her Ascension, why would she appear in Setting Sun Valley..."

Thoughts flashed through Ji Taichang's mind, leaving him completely baffled.

Correspondingly, a sense of urgency welled up in Ji Taichang's heart.

"I need to increase my strength quickly."

"Revered Master can't be pursued for now, so I can only look for Xiao Wanwan!"

Ji Taichang soon had a goal!

At the same time.

What no one noticed was.

Deep within the Extreme North, amidst the boundless and vast ice fields, a dull roar echoed. The void constantly twisted and shattered, and a black crack slowly began to take shape.
