Chapter 765 A Life of Turmoil and Wandering [Long Chapter, Please Subscribe]

Qinglian Peak.

After struggling to withstand the Ice and Fire Demon Ape's attacks for most of the hour, Zhou Chun finally received another message from the avatar of the Tai Geng God.

After reading the message, he was overjoyed and hurriedly announced the good news to everyone.

Sure enough, upon learning that the incarnation of the God Tai Geng was on its way to provide support, everyone was overjoyed and their hearts were immediately put back to rest.

When people are united, their determination and strength to resist naturally increase.

An hour later, although the avatar of the God Tai Geng had not yet arrived, everyone continued to persevere with full confidence.

After holding out for another quarter of an hour, the incarnation of the God Tai Geng finally arrived!

Upon seeing the white-gold sword light approaching from afar, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape and other demon kings outside were both shocked and terrified. They hurriedly stopped their attack and scattered like birds and beasts.

They had all witnessed the power of Tai Geng's incarnation and had no desire to fight him. They were even more worried that they would be attacked from both sides by Zhou Chun and the others inside, leaving only one or two of them on their side.

Tai Geng, the Divine Lord, did not pursue them but instead plunged into the Zhou family's mountain gate.

"Senior Taigeng, what is this...?"

On Qinglian Peak, after Zhou Chun welcomed the avatar of Tai Geng Divine Venerable in, he immediately noticed that the other party's complexion was not right. He was shocked and his heart was filled with utter astonishment.

But the avatar of the Tai Geng God Venerable waved his hand dismissively and said, "I am fine. My natal flying sword was just broken by the Golden Horned Dragon Saint."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun was even more shocked.

Forgetting any potential offense, he hurriedly asked, "Why would Golden Horned Dragon Saint attack you, Senior? Weren't Senior Yuan Yang and him keeping each other in check?"

However, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord did not want to discuss the matter further, but simply shook his head and said, "There is no point in bringing this up again. Currently, Golden Horn and Yuan Yang are engaged in battle, and the war on the Moon Wheel Sect's side has temporarily ceased. You should all hurry up and prepare to evacuate!"

After hearing this, Zhou Chun was startled again.

It is obvious from these words of the avatar of Tai Geng God Venerable that he does not think highly of the outcome of the battle between Yuan Yang Venerable and Golden Horn Dragon Saint, and it can even be said that he believes Yuan Yang Venerable is bound to lose!

In this situation, what should the Zhou family do?

Upon realizing this, Zhou Chun looked expectantly at the avatar of the Divine Lord Tai Geng and asked, "In your opinion, Senior Tai Geng, where should I lead these fellow Daoists to retreat to?"

Upon hearing his words, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable did not answer but instead asked, "Do you have some kind of conflict with Fellow Daoist Yuan Yang?"

Zhou Chun was startled and immediately exclaimed, "Senior, what makes you say such a thing? How could I, a junior, dare to offend Senior Yuan Yang!"

Upon seeing this, the avatar of the Divine Venerable Tai Geng gazed intently at him and said, "If there is no conflict between you and Fellow Daoist Yuan Yang, why do I feel that Fellow Daoist Yuan Yang's attitude towards you is somewhat distant and cold, and you also seem to distrust him?"

"Senior, you have completely misunderstood. I absolutely have no intention of disrespecting Senior Yuanyang!"

Zhou Chun shook his head repeatedly, immediately denying it outright.

Then, with a hesitant expression, he said, "While I certainly have no intention of disrespecting Senior Yuanyang, he does seem somewhat distant and cold towards me, as if he doesn't think much of me. I wonder if he has been misled by a villain and has misunderstood me!"

At this point, she took the opportunity to recount how she had been dismissed with a few casual words by Venerable Yuanyang when she asked him for the Pure Yang Barrier-Breaking Pill.

Yuan Yang Venerable had obviously not mentioned this matter to the incarnation of Tai Geng Divine Venerable, so when he first heard Zhou Chun mention it, his expression changed and became much uglier.

His face darkened as he muttered to himself, "You shameless Yuan Yang! Not only do you disrespect me, but you also have the audacity to ask me for your help. You have such a thick skin!"

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "You should have told me about this sooner. If I had known earlier, I would have definitely demanded an explanation from Yuan Yang!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun lowered his eyes and replied softly, "This junior thought Senior Yuanyang would bring this up with you, and given the urgency of the previous battle, how could this junior dare not prioritize the overall situation!"

Upon hearing his answer, the avatar of the Tai Geng God Venerable's expression softened, and he couldn't help but nod, saying, "Not bad, not bad. To be able to be so understanding and considerate in the face of such a situation, swallowing your anger and putting the greater good first, I truly didn't misjudge you!"

His words were full of praise for Zhou Chun.

After a moment's thought, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Don't worry, even if Yuan Yang refuses to give you the [Pure Yang Breakthrough Pill], I have other ways to help you break through your realm barrier. However, this will be easier to implement after the war ends!"

"As for now, pack your things. I will personally escort you away from Jing Kingdom, and then transfer you and your family's elite troops to Da Zhou Kingdom, freeing you from Yuan Yang's control!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun was initially delighted, but then said with some worry, "I am naturally grateful for Senior Tai Geng's kindness, but if we do this, what if Senior Yuan Yang takes the opportunity to strip my Zhou family of its control over the Qinglian Mountains? What will become of my family and me then?!"

Hearing his concern, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord shook his head repeatedly and said, "You're overthinking it. Even if Yuan Yang has a problem with you, he would never do something so taboo. Besides, if he knew my attitude towards you, he definitely wouldn't be so resolute!"

The incarnation of Tai Geng Divine Venerable could not reveal to Zhou Chun the fact that Venerable Yuan Yang's lifespan was not long.

However, he knew in his heart that Venerable Yuanyang would definitely not dare to completely break with him.

After all, Venerable Yuanyang had many disciples and followers, and the foundation of Yuanyang Temple was the result of his life's work.

Under such circumstances, how could Venerable Yuanyang, whose lifespan was not long, dare to fall out with a human god-level cultivator whose lifespan was still very long?

With his assurance, Zhou Chun, despite still having doubts, had no choice but to follow his advice.

After all, the Venerable Tai Geng is a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator. He is being kind to him by offering his help and guidance. He can't be ungrateful for such kindness!

He immediately nodded repeatedly, saying, "With Senior Tai Geng's words, I am relieved. I will arrange for someone to pack my things right away!"

"We need to be quick; ideally, we should finish everything within three hours!"

As Tai Geng, the Divine Lord, spoke, he asked Zhou Chun for a quiet room to first heal his own injuries.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chun quickly summoned Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi to arrange the retreat.

"Alas! I never imagined that after guarding it for so long, we would ultimately be forced to abandon this mountain gate, which we have poured so much effort into building!"

After hearing Zhou Chun's words, Zhou Mingde sighed with a look of desolation and sadness, feeling very reluctant to part with her.

These words deeply moved Zhou Daoyi, who couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, after hundreds of years of painstaking effort, we've finally built this mountain gate into a respectable structure, and now we have to give it up and start all over again. It's truly heartbreaking!"

Over the years, Zhou Chun has focused on cultivation and has not cared about family affairs. He has single-handedly handled the construction of the Zhou family's mountain gate, and he has devoted countless efforts and energy to it!

How can he be willing to give up so easily now!

Especially since he's no longer young, even if the Zhou family moves back in the future, he won't have the lifespan to continue presiding over such matters!

Seeing this, Zhou Chun was speechless for a moment and could not say any words of advice.

How could he possibly want to give up the Qinglian Peak mountain gate!

It should be noted that the effort and sacrifice he made to acquire this territory were no less than those of Zhou Daoyi later on, and he even took greater risks!

Now that he's giving up so easily, how must he feel inside?

After a long silence, he said to the two elders, "I understand your feelings, and I am also extremely reluctant to make this decision!"

"However, just as you two said, as long as the family members are still alive, there will always be a day when we can rise again!"

"And most importantly, this time our family has the potential to rely on Senior Tai Geng, so rebuilding in the future will definitely be much easier in all aspects than before!"

Upon hearing his words, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi realized that they could not spread this mentality.

Zhou Mingde quickly nodded and said, "That's right, Zheng Chun, what you said makes a lot of sense. With a Nascent Soul Venerable backing up our Zhou family in the future, it will be difficult for our Zhou family to be poor!"

Zhou Daoyi nodded repeatedly, saying, "That makes sense. Next time, with experience, we'll rebuild faster and better!"

"Just as our two elders have said, our Zhou family has been reborn time and again, growing stronger with each rebuilding over the past few centuries, and this time will certainly be no exception!"

As Zhou Chun spoke, his expression was full of confidence.

After getting the job done, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi immediately arranged for people to pack up their things.

In fact, since the start of the war, many spiritual herbs and demonic beasts within the Zhou family's mountain gate have already been harvested and slaughtered. There isn't much to pack up now; the main task is to pack up and organize the stored items in the family's treasure trove.

Another thing that's hard to part with is the various spirit trees that were transplanted to the Qinglian Mountains.

It took a lot of thought and effort to transplant these sacred trees, and now it would be extremely difficult to cut them down myself!

But Zhou Chun knew that things were different now.

Those demon kings whose lair he destroyed will definitely come here to vent their anger once they learn that the Zhou family has left.

At that time, these remaining spirit trees will most likely be completely destroyed by them!

Therefore, Zhou Chun reluctantly allowed Lu Yuanjun to transform those fourth-order spirit trees and spirit fruit trees into [Heavenly Wood Dao Soldiers]. He even planned to refine that ten-thousand-year-old evergreen tree into a fifth-order Dao Soldier later!

While the Zhou family was packing up, Zhou Chun made a special trip to communicate with Nangong Wuqing from the Moon Wheel Sect. He learned from Nangong Wuqing that Yuan Yang Venerable and Golden Horn Dragon Saint were still fighting.

Just as Tai Geng Divine Venerable's avatar had predicted, Yuan Yang Venerable did not gain any advantage; on the contrary, he was somewhat at a disadvantage!

This made Zhou Chun even more determined not to delay.

Three hours passed quickly.

After everything was ready, Zhou Chun had the four demon king spirit pets other than Lu Yuanjun reveal their true forms. Then, all the cultivators of the Zhou family, big and small, carried large and small bags and sat on the backs of the fifth-tier demon kings, embarking on a massive migration.

Meanwhile, the other cultivators who originally belonged to the Heavenly Spirit Legion rode in various flying boats and magical artifacts, closely accompanying the four demon kings.

Although these people will eventually separate from the Zhou family, they are still members of the human race, and it is impossible to abandon them at this time.

After Zhou Chun and the others left, Lu Yuanjun quickly cast a spell to refine the evergreen tree.

Compared to the fifth-tier Dao soldier he had previously refined in the wilderness, he was very familiar with this ten-thousand-year-old evergreen tree, making it much easier to refine.

Meanwhile, the Ice and Fire Demon Ape and other demon kings only learned of what had happened here after they fled back to the vicinity of the Moon Wheel Sect.

The main reason was that "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" was focused on the battle between his ancestor and Venerable Yuanyang, and was also concerned about the serious injury of Blue Flood Dragon King Nutao, so he neglected to inform them.

When they returned, "Golden Profound Saint Grandson," remembering the matter, arranged for a demon king to go to the Zhou family to investigate the situation and monitor the movements of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable's incarnation.

This back-and-forth took up half a day, and it wasn't until the Zhou family had been gone for some time that the demon king who had gone to monitor them discovered the situation.

By the time "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" learned of this news, the Zhou family members had already traveled two thousand miles away.

After thinking about it, he still told the Ice and Fire Demon Ape and other demon kings about the matter and asked them if they were willing to go and pursue them.

But this time, even the Ice and Fire Demon Ape didn't dare to utter a sound.

They had all witnessed the tragic state of the Blue Dragon King, Nu Tao. Although he had survived, he was still suffering from the torment of the sword intent within his body, experiencing excruciating pain.

Despite the "Golden Profound Saint Grandson's" solemn assurance that the incarnation of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable was absolutely incapable of unleashing such a sword strike again, no one dared to believe it or risk their lives to test the sword!

Therefore, even the Ice and Fire Demon Ape, who deeply resented Zhou Chun for taking its treasure, dared not take the risk.

After all, that treasure is no longer of much use to him. Losing it would be a pity, but it's not worth risking his life to get it back.

With others unwilling to pursue and unable to leave himself, "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" could only acquiesce to the situation.

Under the escort of the incarnation of the deity Tai Geng, Zhou Chun and the others finally arrived in the territory of Shen Kingdom after a day's journey.

Although the demon army is currently ravaging countries like Cheng and Shen, very few demon kings have come here. Therefore, once you enter this place, you are basically safe.

After leaving a letter for Zhou Chun, the incarnation of Tai Geng God Venerable parted ways with them and returned to the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate first.

Although he resented what Venerable Yuanyang had done before, he would not disregard the overall situation because of it.

If he doesn't go back, the unchecked "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" will soon be able to break through the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate formation, and at that time, I'm afraid more than ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators will perish!

After parting ways with the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable, Zhou Chun instructed the Nascent Soul cultivator surnamed Chen and others to lead the other cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Legion to a nearby major sect in the Shen Kingdom to await further instructions from Venerable Yuan Yang.

He himself, along with the Zhou family members, headed straight for Yang Kingdom.

Now that the Heavenly Spirit Legion cultivators were no longer a hindrance, the five demon kings' spirit pets unleashed their full speed, and in just half a day, they arrived at the Zhou family's backup mountain gate in Yang Kingdom.

Upon arriving at this location, Zhou Chun reorganized the Zhou family cultivators there.

He and Luo Qingni then led the Zhou family's elite forces, including Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Zhigan, Zhou Xinyan, Xu Fu, and Wu Yuzhu, directly to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Zhou Mingde and Zhou Cunxin, two Golden Core stage cultivators from the Zhou family, stayed behind to guard the backup mountain gate and take care of the lower-level cultivators from the Zhou family who were unable to travel far.

According to the incarnation of Tai Geng, unless the demon race attacks Yang Kingdom, the cultivators of the Zhou family will no longer need to go to the battlefield.

"I never want to return to the Great Zhou Kingdom, and to think I'd come here in this kind of capacity!"

Within the Great Zhou Kingdom, Luo Qingni, who had returned to this place with Zhou Chun, looked at this land she hadn't set foot on for many years and couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing her words, Zhou Chun replied with considerable emotion, "Yes, I never imagined that one day I would come to the Great Zhou Kingdom to fight for the human race!"

The Great Zhou Kingdom is powerful, capable of standing alone against a single race. Since the start of the war, the battle lines have not retreated much.

The formidable pass of Tianyuan Immortal City has become a place that countless multi-winged mages on the grasslands tremble at the mere mention of it, and has buried the lives of countless multi-winged mages!

Zhou Chun originally thought that he didn't need to come to such a place to provide support.

But I never expected that they would come here under the guise of providing support, but in reality seeking refuge. How can this not evoke a myriad of emotions?

After expressing their feelings, Zhou Chun and his companion quickly led their people to a large market town nearby.

Tianyuan Immortal City is located on the front line and is almost completely surrounded by the Multiwinged Clan army. To enter, at least ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators would be needed to escort them, along with the cultivators inside who would come out to provide support.

Therefore, Zhou Chun and his group did not need to go to Tianyuan Immortal City, where Tianyi Divine Venerable was stationed. They could simply stay in a nearby large market or the gate of a major power.

After the Heavenly One God reads the letter left by the incarnation of the Tai Geng God, he will naturally make arrangements for the Zhou family.

Zhou Chun had visited almost all the major markets in the Great Zhou Kingdom, so he was quite familiar with them.

This time, they went to a nearby market called Jumen Market, where there were also Nascent Soul stage cultivators in charge.

To avoid any misunderstanding, Zhou Chun deliberately put away all the demon king spirit pets and used his magic weapon to take Zhou Daoyi and the others to the market.

Upon arriving outside the market, he followed the proper procedure, first releasing his aura to reveal his presence and then proactively stating his name and purpose.

However, after hearing his purpose, the Nascent Soul cultivator in the market replied solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, please forgive us. There have been cases of spies and traitors leading alien races to plunder markets before. Nowadays, all major markets have strict screening procedures for Nascent Soul cultivators like us to enter."

"Since Fellow Daoist Zhou has come to provide support on the orders of Senior Tai Geng Divine Venerable, I, Xia, have no authority to directly contact you. I can only convey your message to the fellow Daoists of the five major forces, requesting them to send someone to contact and verify with you!"

This response made Zhou Chun frown slightly, but since the other party had a valid reason, he couldn't lash out.

He simply waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, I won't trouble Fellow Daoist Xia any further. Just tell me where I can get this done, and I'll go myself."

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul cultivator in the market was naturally eager to avoid trouble and immediately replied, "That would be the best outcome. The nearest place is the Nine Yuan Sword Sect's mountain gate; Fellow Daoist Zhou can go there to seek their assistance in handling this matter!"

"I understand, thank you for informing me, Fellow Daoist Xia."

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, then turned and left with his men.

After traveling several thousand more miles, they arrived at the gate of the Nine Yuan Sword Sect.

As one of the most powerful forces in the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Nine Yuan Sword Sect's mountain gate was naturally magnificent.

The sect is located in the Nine Dragon Ridge, which has nine spiritual peaks rich in spiritual energy. The weakest of these peaks is no less than the Azure Lotus Peak, and the nine peaks are separated by hundreds of miles!

Therefore, this sect relied on these nine spiritual peaks and spent countless years and exhausted the full strength of several generations to set up a super array that connects and covers a region of thousands of miles!

This super formation covers most of the Nine Dragon Ridge area. It is said that once it is fully activated, even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator can be kept out of the formation!

With the help of this super formation and its own foundation as the number one sword cultivator sect, the Nine Yuan Sword Sect has always been firmly in the top three of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Even though alien races were invading and the fighting at Tianyuan Immortal City on the front line was extremely fierce, the area around Jiulong Ridge remained peaceful and tranquil, and no alien races dared to approach.

After arriving here, Zhou Chun kept a low profile, revealing his presence from a great distance.

When he arrived near the Nine Yuan Sword Sect's mountain gate, a crimson sword light quickly flew out from inside the gate and arrived several thousand feet away from him.

After the sword light stopped, a red-clad youth with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes was revealed. He, like Zhou Chun, was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The man first sized up Zhou Chun and Luo Qingni, then spoke in a cold tone: "Elder Li Chenxing of the Nine Yuan Sword Sect is here. May I ask your name and what brings you to our sect?"

"So it's Fellow Daoist Li. I, Zhou, am very pleased to meet you."

Zhou Chun clasped his hands in a salute, showing no dissatisfaction despite the other party's cold attitude.

Then, continuing from the other party's words, he replied, "I am Zhou Zhengchun of Jingguo. I have come to the Great Zhou Kingdom to provide support on the orders of Senior Taigeng Divine Venerable. Here is a letter from Senior Taigeng Divine Venerable as proof. Please ask Fellow Daoist Li and your esteemed sect to pass it on to Senior Tianyi Divine Venerable for verification!"

Upon hearing his words, Li Chenxing, who had just been indifferent, immediately changed his expression and exclaimed in a low voice, "What? You were sent here by Senior Tai Geng Divine Venerable!"

After saying that, he stared at Zhou Chun with a look of surprise and doubt.

When his gaze met Zhou Chun's calm and unwavering eyes, his expression immediately turned serious, and he solemnly said, "In that case, Fellow Daoist Zhou, please accompany me into the mountain to meet the Second Elder!"

After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation, and had someone open an opening in the formation to invite Zhou Chun and the others into the mountain gate.

Upon entering the Nine Yuan Sword Sect's mountain gate, Zhou Chun looked around and saw that the sword energy was overwhelming everywhere in the thousands of miles of mountains, and sword disciples practicing and fighting swords could be seen everywhere.

"Following ancestral rules, the number of outer disciples permanently stationed within the sect's mountain gate shall not exceed five thousand, the number of inner disciples shall not exceed five hundred, and there shall be eighty-one true disciples. The capable shall stay to diligently cultivate the sword path, while the weak shall go out to collect resources for the sect!"

"Due to the current war between the two races, more than half of our sect's inner and outer disciples, as well as true disciples, have gone to the front lines to fight and hone their swordsmanship. As a result, many meritorious individuals have returned to the sect to cultivate, which has led to some chaos at the moment!"

Seeing that Zhou Chun's gaze lingered on the disciples inside the mountain gate, Li Chenxing seemed worried that he was underestimating his sect, so he immediately took the initiative to explain.

The outer disciples he mentioned were not just Qi Refining stage cultivators, but also included many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!

In fact, the standards for outer disciples within the Nine Yuan Sword Sect are extremely high. If a Qi Refining cultivator is over forty years old and has not successfully established their foundation, they will be expelled.

If a Foundation Establishment cultivator fails the inner disciple assessment and does not meet the standards in sword cultivation, he will not be able to compete for the five hundred inner disciple slots and can only be an outer disciple!

There are eighty-one true disciples, because most of the time there aren't that many Golden Core stage cultivators, and some powerful Purple Mansion stage cultivators may also be able to become true disciples ahead of time!

That's right, most of the inner disciples of the Nine Yuan Sword Sect are cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage!

These stringent requirements demonstrate the strength of the top three sects in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

The Nine Yuan Sword Sect now has as many as six Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Among them, the First Elder is a late Nascent Soul stage cultivator, the Second Elder is a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator but also has the combat power of a great cultivator, and there is another elder who is also a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Such strength is undeniably formidable!

Upon hearing Li Chenxing's words, Zhou Chun exclaimed in amazement, "I have long admired the Nine Yuan Sword Sect. Today, having the opportunity to enter and witness it firsthand, I can see that its reputation is truly well-deserved!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are too kind. Since you are valued by Senior Tai Geng, how could our juniors possibly be worthy of your attention!"

Li Chenxing seemed unaware of Zhou Chun's name and was now subtly probing, trying to find out about his relationship with Tai Geng Divine Lord.

Zhou Chun smiled but remained silent, offering no further comment.

He had long heard that some sword cultivators of the Nine Yuan Sword Sect were devoted to their swords and paid little attention to outside affairs, or at most cared about some Nascent Soul stage cultivators who were famous for their sword control techniques.

Since Li Chenxing doesn't recognize his power, there's no need to say anything more to him.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Chenxing didn't press him further. He quickly led him to a peak several thousand feet high, and finally landed outside a grand hall forged from millennia-old black iron.

The moment Zhou Chun landed, his keen senses detected the powerful sword intent emanating from the crack in the hall's doorway. He couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Such a powerful sword intent! Is this Fellow Daoist Ye Qingxuan's sword intent? Truly, it is awe-inspiring!"

Hearing Zhou Chun's words, Li Chenxing said with admiration, "Senior Brother Ye's sword intent is indeed the best in our sect; even the Grand Elder admits he is inferior!"

"Because his sword intent is too powerful, and his cultivation level limits his ability to control it, he can only sit and guard this Xuan Tie Hall now, using the array to restrain and hone his skills. Ordinary disciples of our sect cannot even see his true form!"

In the end, his words were filled with pride.

After all, a Nascent Soul stage sword cultivator is actually cultivating a sword intent. If the sword intent is strong, breaking through cultivation levels will be very easy.

That Second Elder, Ye Qingxuan, possesses a sword intent that even late-stage Nascent Soul sword cultivators cannot match. It's only a matter of time before he breaks through to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, and he might even have a chance to challenge the Divine Transformation realm in the future!

"Qingni, you all wait outside. I'll go into the hall with Fellow Daoist Li to meet Fellow Daoist Ye."

Zhou Chun turned back and glanced at Luo Qingni, Zhou Daoyi, and the others, then gave them a low, earnest instruction.

Then Li Chenxing bowed respectfully to the Xuan Tie Hall and said, "Senior Brother Ye, Fellow Daoist Zhou has come to visit with a letter from Senior Tai Geng Divine Venerable. Please open the door and grant him an audience!"

"Oh, there's a letter from Senior Tai Geng? Let me take a look!"

A cool male voice rang out from inside the Xuan Tie Hall, and the tightly closed Xuan Tie gate automatically opened a crack large enough for one person to pass through.

Instantly, a chilling sword intent poured out from the gap, rushing towards Zhou Chun and the others.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun was prepared and used his powerful divine sense to create an invisible barrier to protect Luo Qingni and the others, preventing them from being affected by the sword intent.

Seeing this, the cold voice rang out again: "Tsk tsk, such powerful divine sense, it's a pity you're not one of us!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun remained calm and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Ye also possesses a very strong sword intent. I, Zhou, am very grateful."

Upon hearing this, the cool voice immediately replied indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, please come in. Junior Brother Li has already told you about my situation, so it is inconvenient for me to go out and greet you now."

"Then I will disturb Fellow Daoist Ye."

Zhou Chun responded and calmly followed Li Chenxing into the Xuan Tie Hall.

Upon entering the hall, a much stronger sword intent surged towards Zhou Chun. This was not because Ye Qingxuan was intentionally targeting him, but because the sword intent that had been sealed and suppressed within the hall was repelling outsiders on its own. Li Chenxing was also attacked in the same way.

However, one of them possessed a powerful divine soul, and the other was a Nascent Soul stage sword cultivator, so they were not significantly affected by this sword intent.

Zhou Chun looked forward, bracing himself against the sword intent. He saw a handsome young man in white sitting cross-legged on a stone platform deep inside the hall, looking at him with curiosity.

After their eyes met, the white-robed youth, Ye Qingxuan, said softly, "Senior Tai Geng is the number one swordsman of our human race. I am unworthy, but I had the opportunity to meet him once with the Grand Elder. I have heard that he fought a great battle against the barbarian saint of the alien race in Tianman Plain, and I am filled with longing to witness the divine might of your swordsmanship!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun nodded in deep agreement and said, "Senior Tai Geng's swordsmanship is truly astonishing and awe-inspiring!"

"Then, may I take a look at the letter that Fellow Daoist Zhou mentioned?"

Ye Qingxuan's eyes flickered, and he looked at Zhou Chun with some anticipation and asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately nodded and said, "This item was originally intended to be examined by Senior Tianyi Divine Venerable. Fellow Daoist Ye can take a look, but please do not damage it."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, taking out the letter given to him by the incarnation of the God Tai Geng.

It was a sword scroll made of refined gold, imbued with the sword intent of the incarnation of the Tai Geng God, and could not be forged.

"Such powerful and refined sword intent!"

Ye Qingxuan caught the sword scroll, and upon slightly touching it, he felt the powerful sword intent contained within it, and couldn't help but marvel at its excellence.

Then, with a solemn expression, as if a believer were on a pilgrimage, he slowly and devoutly opened the sword scroll.
