I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 469 Return to the Mountain Gate
She was nearly a meter tall, clad in dark armor that was covered with ancient runes. Every piece of armor seemed to be engraved with the laws of death and ice.

Her black hair was like a waterfall, draped over her shoulders, swaying in the wind like waves. Her eyes were as black as ink, yet so deep that it seemed as if they could devour the souls of all beings.

Her skin was a strange bluish-white color, like deep-sea corpse snow. In her hand, she held an extremely long black ice spear, emitting a mysterious cold air that seemed to be able to freeze and collapse space.

"Xuanming Wa Si, I pay my respects to the Lord!"

Xuanming Wa Si slowly bent her knees and knelt on one knee.

The voice was not that of an ordinary woman. It was low and desolate, as if it came from the underworld. It made people tremble with fear and find it difficult to look directly at it.

As she knelt, the calm Xuanwu Lake behind her began to surge with wind and waves, and wisps of Xuanming energy rose from the lake surface, condensing and transforming into hundreds of smaller Xuanming Wa Si, which lined up behind her. They wore cold black armor and held icy spears, like divine weapons descending to the world, and the sky and earth changed color.

Xia Daoming looked at the first divine weapon in front of him, or to be exact, a divine general, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Because when he stared at Xuanming Wa Si, the feeling was extremely mysterious, somewhat similar to the feeling he and Xiao Jin had, yet very different.

Xiao Jin had signed a master-servant blood covenant with him since childhood and must obey his orders. If he did not use the covenant, Xiao Jin would actually be a completely independent individual.

Just like now, the relationship between him and Xiao Jin is like that between father and son and master and apprentice. He no longer regards Xiao Jin as a servant. Although there is a blood alliance, he has already set him free. If he does not take the initiative to contact him, he cannot feel Xiao Jin, and Xiao Jin will not feel any constraints. He has his own thoughts and can come and go freely and do whatever he wants.

But Xuanming Wasi is very different.

She was conceived and condensed from the Xuanming True Water and the fusion of his qi and blood.

The Xuanming True Water has its own spirituality, as if it has the legacy of ancient times and carries an uncontrollable ancient will.

Xia Daoming felt that she seemed to have her own consciousness and was an independent individual.

But at the same time, she merged with his energy and blood and even a trace of divine consciousness. She gave him the feeling of being an extension of his body, a bit like a limb.

That feeling is very mysterious.

"A limb that has its own consciousness and can fight apart from the body?"

"Or maybe it's just my power that has been condensed into a human form with the help of the Mysterious Water, but it's actually a magic weapon? But it's also a magic weapon that can communicate with spirits!"

"Forget it, forget it, why think so much, anyway, this Xuanming Wa Si is wonderful, very wonderful! The key is the change in strength."

Xia Daoming's mind was turning, but he felt that he couldn't describe that feeling. He simply didn't bother to think about it anymore and turned to think about the change in his strength.

"Normally speaking, the Blood Sea Realm is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment of Qi Refining, and the Crimson Palace is equivalent to the Golden Elixir. So the Divine Weapon Realm should correspond to the Nascent Soul Realm.

But the Divine Weapon Realm has twelve levels, while the Nascent Soul Realm has only three small levels. It is impossible that the Divine Weapon can be refined to twelve levels or is it just equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm?

Is it possible that the Divine Weapon Realm covers the two realms of Yuanying and Huashen in Qi Refining? It should be very likely. Lan Xi said that the ancestors of Canglan Palace said that Huashen has nine levels, one calamity every thousand years, one level for each calamity. Together with Yuanying, the total number is twelve.

If so, the first level of the magic weapon is likely to correspond to the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and the fourth level is to the God Transformation. However, my magic weapon is condensed from the Mysterious Real Water. I wonder if it can surpass a major realm and fight against the God Transformation?"

After speculating to this, Xia Daoming couldn't help but feel his blood boiling and full of passion.

Between the Spiritual Transformation and the Nascent Soul, there lies an unbridgeable gap.

Lan Xi once mentioned to him that there was a record in their Canglan Palace that said the power of the God of Transformation was inviolable, and even a God of Transformation ancestor who had dissolved into a weapon could defeat or even kill ten Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators by himself.

To truly defeat the old ancestor who has achieved the state of transformation through weapons, it would probably require twenty to thirty late Nascent Soul cultivators to have a chance.

Not to mention the Divine Transformation cultivators who have successfully transcended the tribulation with their physical bodies!

In the past, no matter how conceited Xia Daoming was, he believed that the best he could do was to fight against three or four ordinary late Nascent Soul cultivators.

If you meet someone at Qingxu's level, the outcome of a one-on-one fight is unpredictable.

One can imagine how terrifying a Divine Transformation cultivator is!
And now, Xia Daoming finally has the capital and confidence to fight against the divine cultivators. How could this not make him excited and full of passion?
"By the way, there is a heavenly tribulation in the Spirit Transformation Realm, then what about the Divine Weapon Realm?" From the Spirit Transformation Realm, Xia Daoming thought of the heavenly tribulation, and suddenly it was as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, and he felt chilled to the bone.

Due to the changes in the environment of today's heaven and earth, the difficulty of the heavenly tribulation in the Spirit Transformation Realm is far greater than before, and only a few can survive it.

But people like Qingxu at least know what the heavenly tribulation in the Spirit Transformation Realm is, and there are also many ways and means to deal with the heavenly tribulation in the Qi Refining Realm.

But if there is a heavenly calamity in the realm of divine weapons, he knows nothing about it. There is no record of this at all in the "Zhenwu Divine Weapon Art", let alone any way to deal with it!

"Don't worry, calm down! Since my deduction is that the twelfth level of the divine weapon corresponds to the two realms of Yuanying and Huashen, then logically speaking, even if there is a heavenly tribulation, it should be when I absorb the fourth kind of true fire and true water!

I have just taken in the first kind of real water, and no heavenly calamity has come down. Obviously, my speculation is probably correct.

In this case, I still have plenty of time to look for information about the Divine Weapon Realm. For example, I can go to Nanzhen Ji Mountain, which is said to lead to the Earthly Immortal Realm, and there must be information about the Divine Weapon Realm there."

Xia Daoming quickly calmed down, thought about it carefully, and finally felt relieved.

After feeling relieved, Xia Daoming glanced at the nearly ten-foot-tall Xuanming Wa Si in front of him and nodded slightly to her. Xuanming Wa Si waved her hand.

"Crash!"

Hundreds of female soldiers with small trumpets behind him immediately turned into a ball of black water and fell into Xuanwu Lake, with the water churning and surging.

Xuanming Wa Si walked towards Xia Daoming step by step, her figure gradually blurred, and disappeared from his chest in the blink of an eye.
-
a few days later.

A dragon boat with auspicious clouds appeared outside the gate of Qingyuan Mountain.

"Hey, the atmosphere seems a little off!"

Xia Daoming, dressed in blue, stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the Qingyuan Mountain Gate from afar. He saw that the mountain gate seemed calm, but in fact it was full of murderous intent and was heavily guarded. Even the large formation hidden in the dark was quietly operating, ready to go. He couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise on his face.

The Qingyuan Sect today is no longer what it used to be. In such a vast Daxuan Domain, unless Xuantian Pavilion comes in full force, it is not worth it for the Qingyuan Sect to be so vigilant.

But Xuantian Pavilion now has a good relationship with Qingyuan Sect. Why would they attack Qingyuan Sect for no reason?

Moreover, by now, Qingxu should be very clear that when Xuantian Pavilion attacks Qingyuan Sect, the only ones who will ultimately benefit from it will be other major forces in Taicang Continent.

Just as Xia Daoming was doubting, a rainbow bridge overflowing with light flew out from the palace, spanning the sky and landing in front of the auspicious cloud dragon boat.

There were two Nascent Soul cultivators, a man and a woman, in the early stage, walking on the Rainbow Bridge.

These two people were none other than Tu Shouye and Qiu Dongyan.

Tu Shouye was originally the acting head of the sect during Yue Huang's retreat.

Later, Yue Huang entered the Nascent Soul stage, and soon after entered the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Now he and Xiao Hongyi have been in seclusion to strive for the late stage of the Nascent Soul, and have completely become the hands-off leader.

Originally, according to Yue Huang's idea, he would simply let Tu Shouye be the official head, and he would be the supreme elder, living a free and easy life.

However, Zuo Dongge and others took into consideration that the Qingyuan Sect is no longer what it used to be, and will surely become one of the major forces in Taicang Continent in the future. Tu Shouye is an expert in managing the daily affairs of the sect, but his talent and cultivation are limited after all. If he were to take on the position of the sect leader, it would somewhat weaken the sect's momentum.

So he was given the position of deputy head, responsible for the daily affairs of the sect. As for the position of head, Yue Huang still sat in it, but like the great elder Xia Daoming, he basically didn't take care of things at ordinary times.

And Qiu Dongyan received the Liangyi Yuan Fruit from Xia Daoming, and was able to step into the Nascent Soul stage more than fifty years ago.

But her talent and opportunities were not as good as Yue Huang and Xiao Hongyi. She had been on the Nascent Soul path for more than fifty years, but her cultivation had hardly made any progress.

After several ups and downs, Qiu Dongyan was able to take things in her stride. She did not follow the example of Yue Huang and Xiao Hongyi, secluded herself in the back mountain to practice, but chose to return to the Transmission Hall to take on some of the daily responsibilities of transmitting skills.

According to her, the inheritance of Taoism is related to the prosperity of the sect. The Qingyuan Sect is no longer what it used to be. There should be elders at the Nascent Soul level sitting in the Transmission Hall to help some disciples teach the Tao and answer their questions.

"Uncle Tu, Aunt Qiu, why did you two come out in person? I can't afford such a grand occasion!" When Xia Daoming saw that it was the two of them who came out to greet him, he quickly flew off the dragon boat and bowed to them.

"You don't have to be polite to us two old guys. Others can't bear it, so how can you not bear it?" Tu Shouye said with a smile, and then continued: "Today, the two of us are in charge of the main peak hall, so we will know when you come back.

I have also sent a message to the headmaster, your master and mistress, your uncle Xiao, Elder Liu, and Elder Ji. They should be here soon."

"Are they all so free? Is it necessary to mobilize so many people? Did something happen?" Xia Daoming asked with an idea in his mind.

"Something really happened. We have been feeling uneasy these days! Fortunately, you came back in time, and we feel much more at ease!" Qiu Dongyan said.

"What exactly happened? I see that the mountain gate seems calm, but it is actually hiding murderous intentions, and some formations and restrictions are also quietly operating." Xia Daoming asked.

As soon as Xia Daoming finished speaking, Hongqiao had quietly returned to the entrance of the main hall of the main peak.

At this time, several rainbow lights broke through the air from the directions of Tianjian Peak, Lihuo Peak, Chiyan Peak, Houtu Peak and others, and landed in front of the hall.

It was Yue Huang, Zuo Dongge and others who rushed over immediately after hearing the news.

Upon seeing this, Xia Daoming did not bother to ask any more questions and immediately bowed to Yue Huang and the others.

"Daoming, you came back just in time! Now we don't have to worry about that old demon Ye coming to kill us." Yue Huang said.

"What old demon Ye?" Xia Daoming asked blurt out.

"Let's talk inside the hall!" Yue Huang said.

Then everyone entered the hall and sat down in order.
