After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

"Where are you going, fellow Taoist?"

The Confucian sage, dressed in a white robe and with extraordinary temperament, stared at Duan Yuntian with a smile.

In fact, he had already arrived long before, but he did not show up. This was to guard against Duan Yuntian's other backup plans. After all, he was a famous figure in the Spirit Realm.

After all, there are some hidden cards.

He and Jiang Che would not underestimate this person.

And it was precisely their caution that blocked the other party.

"Who are you?"

Green flames kept flashing in Duan Yuntian's skull eye sockets. It seemed that he had never heard of the person in front of him, but the breath emanating from the other party made him feel uneasy.

He is definitely one of the top people in the world.

"More than six hundred years ago, people all over the world called me the Confucian Sage. More than six hundred years later, everyone else calls me Mr. Jiang. Have you ever heard of my name, Taoist friend?"

The Confucian sage said calmly.

"Confucian Saint! It's actually you!"

Duan Yuntian's heart sank.

Of course he had heard of this name. He chased Feng Wuji all the way to the East China Sea, but finally stopped in front of Shenghai City. The most fundamental reason was that he sensed an extremely obscure and powerful aura.

He was given a veiled warning.

Later, after various investigations, he narrowed down the identity of the powerful man to a few names, among which was the Confucian saint who was once famous throughout the world.

What he didn't expect was that the other party was actually still alive.

And the strength is so strong.

According to his perception, the other party's aura was even more terrifying than that of the old ancestor Ku Rong who was beside Jiang Che at the beginning, and was even stronger than he was now.

“It seems that after more than six hundred years, there are still many people who know me. Haha, that’s not bad.” The Confucian saint stroked his long beard and revealed a rather satisfied smile.

"you"

Duan Yuntian was about to say something when suddenly the fire in his eyes burst into flames. Then, a huge breath suddenly descended. In an instant, Duan Yuntian realized the problem.

Jiang Che is catching up!
There are obstacles in front and pursuers behind.

All his ways of survival were blocked. Until this moment, Duan Yuntian finally felt fear. After practicing hard for more than two hundred years, he saw that the moment of becoming an immortal was just around the corner.

Is it finally over?

"Master Duan, you can't leave."

In the void, Jiang Che, holding a cyan-gold axe in his hand, took a step slowly and stood directly in front of Duan Yuntian, his expression as calm as always.

"Brother Jiang is so powerful, yet he even ambushed other strong men in advance. You really think highly of me." Duan Yuntian said hoarsely.

"If not for this, Patriarch Duan might have left this place long ago. Well, I don't like to talk too much nonsense. Patriarch Duan has only two choices. The first is to submit to me and tell me everything you know. The second is to lose all your hard work for a hundred years in one day, and I will personally send you off."

Duan Yuntian hummed:

"I don't want to choose either of these two paths."

"That's okay. After suppressing you, I will search your soul in the same way." Jiang Che didn't care. He immediately raised the bronze immortal axe in his hand, and the terrifying power of rules gradually began to gather.

"Wait a minute."

Duan Yuntian suddenly called out to Jiang Che.

"Fellow Daoist, have you changed your mind?" Jiang Che stared at him and asked.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, even if you suppress me, you cannot search my soul. I am not a human, and my soul is different from yours. Moreover, there are restrictions left by the powerful people in the Burial Realm in my soul.

Once you search my soul, I will be destroyed on the spot, and you, my friend, will also be affected. Now the arrival of the burial domain is irreversible, so why don't you leave yourself a way out.

Keeping me alive will allow you to bargain with the strong men in the Burial Domain later. This is better than killing me. Maybe you can even survive because of this!"

Duan Yuntian seemed to be afraid that Jiang Che would attack him if they disagreed with him, so he said a lot of things at once. In a nutshell, he meant only one thing, which was that he wanted to live.

Jiang Che frowned, then looked at the Confucian Sage and asked:

"What do you think, Mr. Jiang?"

The Confucian Sage looked calm and chuckled:

“My suggestion is to kill him. Since this fellow Taoist has been restricted by the so-called powerful person in the Burial Realm, he is not important to me. I can’t get any benefits by killing him.

Secondly, this person is not like humans. He is well versed in the rules of death and has strange magical powers. He might have some hidden tricks up his sleeve. Just in case, it is better to kill him.

So as not to leave any hidden dangers for the future."

"Master Duan, what do you think?"

Duan Yuntian was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained:
"Friend Jiang, I think..."

"Forget it. I don't want you to think that since you can't convince me, you can only die. Have a good journey to the underworld. The grudge between you and me will be settled now."

Jiang Che interrupted Duan Yuntian and sentenced him to death.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, is there really no other choice?"

Duan Yuntian was still somewhat unwilling.

But this time, Jiang Che did not respond to him. What responded to him was only the extremely yang rules that filled the sky.

In an instant, the rules were like the sea, spreading across the void, and in an instant, submerged the heaven and earth.

Duan Yuntian is dead.

The death was not heroic.

Having lost treasures like the Eternal Death Bead, Duan Yuntian's strength is actually not that strong. He is only slightly stronger than the old ancestor Ku Rong who had not gotten the opportunity, and is almost as strong as Jiang Che at the beginning.

But that was in the past. What he is facing now is Jiang Che, who has achieved the status of a human immortal by gathering the three flowers at the top of his head, comprehended the power of rules, and possesses immortal weapons. The strength of both sides has already widened the gap.

In just a short moment, Jiang Che dealt with the Qingtian Sect Leader, whom he once regarded as a formidable enemy.

It has to be said that when Jiang Che destroyed the soul of the Qingtian Sect Leader, he even felt a little sentimental. When he first heard the name Duan Yuntian, he was extremely afraid.

I was afraid that this person would suddenly attack me.

I have always been a little uneasy.

The two met for the first time in Yuezhou. If he had not been promoted to Martial Saint and was able to escape through the Realm Gate, he would have been doomed to fail miserably in that battle.

Until later on, Jiang Che was often afraid of the other party.

It is precisely because of this that he is very aware of the death of the old Sword Saint of Jian Ge and the injury of Feng Wuji, but he has never taken revenge on them because he knows that he can do nothing to the other party.

Even at the critical moment of the battle between the Northern Barbarians and the Central Plains, Duan Yuntian still brought him great pressure, forcing him to be distracted.

But now, when their realms were finally equal, Jiang Che realized that this arrogant Qingtian Sect Leader, the culprit who brought chaos to the entire Central Plains, was actually so vulnerable!
Jiang Che felt somewhat relieved to have killed his enemy with his own hands. Then, he raised his hands and bowed towards the direction of Yuezhou in the south, saying in a deep voice:
"Old Sword Saint, Jiang Che can finally comfort your spirit in heaven today."

As the leader of a sect comparable to an immortal sect, the wealth of Qingtian Sect Leader Duan Yuntian is undoubtedly astonishing. He carries more than ten storage spirit rings on his body. And each of these ten storage spirit rings is full. More importantly, what is full is not ordinary crystals, but at least Jiang Che's more precious spirit objects.

Among them, there are even many extremely precious treasures of heaven and earth. Although they are not as precious as those in the Witch God Temple, they are definitely amazing. He inferred that Duan Yuntian may have been prepared to welcome the arrival of the strong men from the Burial Domain during this period.

That's why so many treasures were collected.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, there was no ultimate Yin origin contained inside.

After packing up everything, Jiang Che and Rusheng returned to the original secret realm of Qingtian Sect. At this moment, due to the aftermath of the fight between the two, the secret realm was in a mess.

But there are still many followers of the Qingtian Sect alive.

Jiang Che had no mercy at all on this.

With a wave of his hand, he sent them to the west.

The fall of Duan Yuntian and the demise of the core members of the Qingtian Sect also highlight the Qingtian Sect, a force that has been a scourge to the martial arts world for hundreds of years and was regarded as a major threat by the previous dynasty.

Finally, today, it completely disappeared.

There may still be some branches left in the outside world, but what remains are just a group of ants and are nothing to be afraid of.

The cross-border magic array on the platform and around it was still flashing at this moment. It was obvious that the magic array here was not as fragile as Duan Yuntian said.

Even under impact, it still exists.

Of course, the main reason is that the Eternal Death Qi Pearl was destroyed in the turbulence of the void, and the impact on this secret realm was not actually that much.

After looking at it for a moment, Jiang Che raised his hand and prepared to destroy it.

Regardless of whether what Duan Yuntian said was true or not, he would not allow this cross-border magic array to exist, and he did not want the so-called powerful people from the Burial Domain to actually cross over.

A Green Emperor from the Demon Realm has already made him feel like he is facing a formidable enemy. If enemies really come from the Burial Realm, the entire realm will be in danger of destruction. It would be good to be able to delay for a while.

But just as Jiang Che was about to take action, the Confucian Sage raised his hand and stopped Jiang Che.

"Your Majesty, please wait."

"What do you have to say, Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Che frowned.

The Confucian sage said in a deep voice:
“In the past few hundred years, I have actually studied a lot of things, one of which is formation. This formation is something I have never heard of or seen before, so I want to copy it and comprehend it.

If we can fully understand it in the future, maybe this area will benefit from it."

The cross-border magic array directly connects to the fairyland. This is an opportunity for them in the future. Otherwise, even if they can become true immortals in the future, they may not be able to get through the endless sea of ​​stars.

If we can borrow a cross-border magic circle, it will undoubtedly be a shortcut.

Jiang Che thought for a moment and agreed to the other party, but still warned:

“Don’t believe everything Duan Yuntian says. It’s very possible that a strong man from the Burial Domain is about to arrive. When you comprehend, remember to be quick. Even if there are some things you can’t comprehend, you can write them down temporarily.

Otherwise, if a strong person really descends upon the Burial Domain, you and I may not be able to resist."

"Three days. After three days, Your Majesty can destroy this formation." The Confucian sage held up three fingers with a serious face.

"Okay, just three days!"

In the blink of an eye.

Three days passed in a flash.

The Confucian sage sat cross-legged, overlooking the entire cross-border magic circle from high above, without blinking, as if he had already been immersed in it. Jiang Che naturally would not disturb him.

Of course, he was not idle either. After counting Duan Yuntian's harvest, he also copied the cross-border magic array one by one, although he did not understand the formation.

But Yao Yue and Feng Wuji are more proficient in it, and they can be taken back to be studied later.

It's always good to have more of these foundations.

"This kind of magic array is worthy of being a cross-border magic array in the fairyland. It really makes this old man astonished." In the void, the Confucian sage who had been comprehending the magic array suddenly closed his eyes, let out a breath, and then let out another sigh.

He seemed to have great respect for it.

"How is your understanding, sir?"

Jiang Che asked in a deep voice.

The Confucian sage sighed and said helplessly:

“Although I am proficient in formations, this kind of cross-world formation is too profound. It may seem similar to the formations in this world, but in fact, there are essential differences in many places.

Even though I have spent a lot of effort, I have only comprehended 10% of it. The formations that follow are more profound and I am afraid they will take more time."

"Is this formation so difficult?"

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes.

The Confucian sage continued:
“According to my deduction, Duan Yuntian is probably not particularly proficient in magic arrays. This array is most likely set up by him using the array diagram. Otherwise, he would not have such attainments in arrays.

Even if you and I join forces, we may not be able to take him down."

"Did you copy it, sir?"

Jiang Che did not continue to ask, but changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, please destroy it. It can delay some time and we may find other opportunities in the future." Although the Confucian sage felt very sorry, he did not stop it.

Because he also knew the power of this cross-border magic circle.

If you are reluctant to destroy it, once something really happens, it will be too late to regret.

Jiang Che did not hesitate. After getting a positive answer, he immediately mobilized the power of rules and quickly took action, preparing to destroy this cross-border magic circle in an instant.

The divine patterns on the magic circle suddenly lit up, flashing with brilliant light.

It was as if it was completely stimulated, but there was no protective magic circle above this cross-border magic circle after all. Many divine runes quickly began to melt away, but at this moment, the light of countless divine runes gradually gathered and turned into a sky curtain.

From the sky, a majestic questioning voice came:

“She Qingtong, this True Lord has not arrived yet, why are you interrupting the formation?!”

Then, another figure appeared above the sky. He was sitting on a black throne, wrapped in a dark robe with gold patterns. Under the black robe.

A pair of dark golden pupils flickered continuously, revealing a strange aura. His gaze suddenly fell on Jiang Che and Rusheng. He was silent for a few breaths and said:
"Who are you? Where is She Qingtong?"

"You are talking about him, right?"

Jiang Che casually threw away Duan Yuntian's skeleton.

The other party was silent for a moment, then restrained some of his dignity and showed a more amiable posture, but even so, it still looked very strange.

"I think you are the supreme sage of this realm. I think we can have a good talk."
