Chapter 2321 A Safe Return, Yet Tragic
Zuo Lingtian and the other three looked at each other.
His face was filled with shock.
They were unaware of just how powerful the immortal cultivator who had made the move truly was.
But this time, the Immortal of Longevity killed Liu Wen, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal in the early stage, and the Ghost Spirit Immortal with a single sword strike.
Another sword strike severely injured the four elders of Yaoguang Cave.
This is enough to show that the strength of the Immortal of Longevity is far superior to theirs.
With their current cultivation level, they simply cannot withstand the wrath of the Immortal of Longevity.
"By order of our ancestor, from this moment forward, all disciples of Yaoguang Cave must keep a low profile. All actions related to the Tianmeng Mountains must cease!"
"Anyone who dares to disobey this order will have their entire family executed!"
After a moment's thought, Zuo Lingtian's cold voice suddenly rang out from Yaoguang Cave.
All the disciples of Yaoguang Cave who heard this voice were visibly shaken.
But they knew perfectly well.
Once the ancestral decree is issued, it must be carried out diligently.
Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
As for Liu Wen, who served as cannon fodder for Yaoguang Cave this time, no one mentioned him.
It was as if Liu Wen, the former Fifth Patriarch of Yaoguang Cave, had never appeared at all!
……
Outside the Valley of Burial Swords.
Everything returned to calm.
At this moment, Chen Xuan's expression as he looked at the Immortal Changsheng became extremely shocked.
"Ancestor, what is your cultivation level? You are so strong!" Chen Xuan laughed.
"Haha, my cultivation level is unimportant. What matters is that I can protect you juniors!"
The Immortal of Longevity laughed it off.
With a flick of his wrist, the longsword in his hand vanished instantly.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan immediately looked curious.
"Sect Master, when you unleashed your Supreme Sword Intent just now, I sensed an unparalleled resilience within it. Could this be your Supreme Sword Intent?"
"However, I feel that the so-called supreme being is someone who overpowers all others and is invincible! Could it be that I've misunderstood this?"
The Immortal of Longevity did not provide a direct explanation.
Instead, he pointed to the endless void and asked Chen Xuan with a smile.
"You've already reached the late-stage Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm. Look at this void, what's different?"
“This… Ancestor, I see that the void is filled with the power of rules and immortal energy. In fact, it’s not much different from the void in the lower plane.”
"That's right. But if I were to ask a Qi Refining stage cultivator what's different about the void here, what would he say?"
"He'll definitely say that the aura here is incredibly strong!"
"That's right!"
The Immortal Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.
His smiling gaze lingered on Chen Xuan for a moment before he chuckled and said, "You asked me if my understanding of the Supreme Sword Intent was wrong. Actually, I've already given you the answer, haven't I?"
"Everyone has their own understanding and perception of the same thing. Different identities and statuses will also lead to different perceptions of the same thing."
"It's like your understanding of the Supreme Sword Intent is that it is unparalleled and domineering. But my understanding of the Supreme Sword Intent is that it is tenacious, decisive, and invincible!"
"Everyone has their own path. Finding what suits you best is the best choice!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan suddenly realized what was going on.
It's unclear what Chen Xuan remembered, but a hint of confusion appeared on his face.
“Ancestor, in the Valley of Burial Swords, I comprehended the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent, and even mastered it to the fullest extent. Tell me, isn’t this just following in someone else’s footsteps?” Chen Xuan said.
"Hehe, when I first comprehended ninety percent of the Supreme Sword Intent, it was all for the sake of innovation and forging my own path. You, kid, have already forged your own path by comprehending the twelfth level of the Carefree Sword Intent. What are you still hesitating about? Do you really want me to praise you as a 'genius' to your face?"
The Immortal of Longevity looked at Chen Xuan, his smile unchanged.
But Chen Xuan felt somewhat embarrassed.
"In front of the ancestor, I can hardly be considered a genius!"
"Hehe, how could I not see that? Your talent is average, but your strength lies in your perseverance. That's precisely why you've achieved what you have today. However, I feel that your future achievements will be no less than mine!"
"This...may I ask you, Ancestor, what is your current cultivation level?"
"you guess?"
"Late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal?"
Guess again!
Changsheng Zhenren smiled slightly.
As he spoke, he grabbed Chen Xuan and they vanished in a flash.
When the two reappeared, they were already in the scripture pavilion of the Longevity Immortal Sect.
At this moment, the Immortal of Longevity had regained his cultivation level of the late-stage Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm.
The smile on his face remained as kind as ever.
However, Chen Xuan's feelings were somewhat complicated after learning the identity of the Immortal Changsheng.
Just then, a mocking voice suddenly rang out from the library.
"What? Now that you know the sect leader's true strength, are you a little scared?"
The speaker was Wang Qinghua.
She smiled and came to Chen Xuan's side, ignoring the Immortal Changsheng.
He found a place to sit down and poured himself a cup of spiritual tea.
While drinking, he complained, "The quality of your spiritual tea is far too poor. You are the sect leader of our Longevity Immortal Sect. Don't you feel it's beneath you to drink spiritual tea of this quality?"
"Heh, you little brat, how dare you talk to me like that? Over the years, how much of my spiritual tea have you and that boy Cui wasted? This spiritual tea is indeed not as good as the original one. But it still has the same wonderful effect of calming the mind and soothing the nerves!"
As he explained, Changsheng Zhenren snatched the teapot and quickly poured himself a cup.
It seemed as if they were afraid Wang Qinghua would drink all of their spiritual tea.
"mean!"
Wang Qinghua pursed her lips.
Seeing Chen Xuan standing there without saying a word, she immediately laughed and said, "Chen Xuan, why are you so reserved? No matter what cultivation level this old fellow has, he is still the sect leader of our Longevity Immortal Sect, isn't he? Why are you being so polite with him?"
"Ah, this..."
Chen Xuan didn't know how to answer for a moment.
However, the Immortal of Longevity smiled and poured Chen Xuan a cup of spiritual tea.
"I quite like it when you come to visit me, young man. By the way, next time you come, bring me some more immortal wine. The immortal wine last time was indeed of excellent quality," said the Immortal of Longevity with a smile.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Chen Xuan agreed, finished his spiritual tea, and then recounted his experiences in the Burial Sword Valley in detail to the two of them.
Wang Qinghua immediately laughed and said, "Well done! I've disliked that Young Master Lingxu for a long time. As for the Purple-Clad Fairy, she's no better!"
"However, the sect leader will back you up in everything. You don't need to worry about Yaoguang Cave causing you trouble!"
"But this time, although your cultivation has reached the late-stage Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm, the immortal power within your body is extremely chaotic. I'm afraid you won't be able to find an opportunity to break through to the Golden Immortal realm for a while."
After listening to Chen Xuan's story, Wang Qinghua...
Her beautiful eyes scrutinized Chen Xuan for a while, then she looked at him with regret.
Her words immediately caused Chen Xuan's expression to change slightly.
Wow!
He rapidly activated his divine sense, carefully examining his own body.
After seeing the condition inside his body, Chen Xuan couldn't help but gasp.
"How could this be?"
