Chapter 249: Chapter 249: If the Heavens Don't Take You, I Will
In the palace, the sound of preaching continuously echoed, immersing the cultivators in the plaza, making it difficult for them to extricate themselves.
Gu An, holding his twin swords, stepped forward. Against the Seven Stars Spirit Realm, he did not intend to reach the level of exterminating everyone; he only wanted to slaughter the high-ranking members to disperse the Seven Stars Spirit Realm on this continent.
If he were to annihilate the entire Seven Stars Spirit Realm, the surrounding major forces would undoubtedly become more wary of him, possibly drawing even stronger entities.
Gu An walked among the disciples of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm. With each step, he resisted the preaching sound from the palace. The disciples behind him awakened one by one, seeing Gu An, they were startled, hurriedly got up, took out their magic artifacts and divine weapons, and prepared for battle.
Gu An continued to walk without looking back or pausing his steps.
"Who is he?"
"What does he intend to do?"
"I can't see through his cultivation level; we shouldn't act rashly after all, there's a Divine Lord stationed here."
"Could he be someone from the Star Sea Congregations?"
"No, this seems like the Demon Shadow Divine Skill, a cultivation technique from the Thousand-Autumn Pavilion of the Taicang Dynasty. I have seen it before, the one who mastered it fully is the Sword Venerable Fudao residing in the Supreme Sect..."
Sword Venerable Fudao!
These four words made the disciples in the plaza tremble with fear.
How could they not have heard of Sword Venerable Fudao, who even forced the Cave Master Divine Soul True Lord of the Six Stars Cave to retreat?
It was said that after that battle, the Divine Soul True Lord disappeared and no one knew where he went. There were also speculations within the Seven Stars Spirit Realm that the Divine Soul True Lord was killed by Sword Venerable Fudao.
No matter the claim, the strength of Sword Venerable Fudao was something the Seven Stars Spirit Realm dreaded.
The disciples in this plaza were either geniuses or nobles of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm. They knew some inside information; for example, Startling Immortal Lin from the Lin Family died at the hands of Sword Venerable Fudao.
Instantly, more and more disciples in the plaza woke up. Regardless of their high cultivation levels, none dared to approach Gu An, let alone stop him.
Before long, Gu An arrived in front of the palace steps.
Being closer, he could better appreciate the majesty of the palace, exuding a Daoist Intent Gu An had never felt before. This Daoist Intent could make it easier for one to comprehend Daoist Sorcery, indicating that the materials of this palace were not simple and might contain some powerful formation.
There was only one person inside the palace, a Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal!
Stronger by a few degrees than the previous Earth Gang Divine Lord!
It had to be known that the strongest beings in the Six Stars Cave and the Seven Stars Cave were only in the Wandering Immortal Realm. Now, two Heaven and Earth Flying Immortals had emerged, indicating that the Seven Stars Spirit Realm had long been prepared.
Fortunately, Gu An had not rashly come before; he dared to come now because he was certain that the Seven Stars Spirit Realm did not have a Carefree Primordial Immortal.
The Star Sea Congregations were unlikely to deceive him. After all, if the Seven Stars Spirit Realm had a Carefree Primordial Immortal, how could they allow the Star Sea Congregations to oppress them so?
"Sword Venerable Fudao, what kind of irreconcilable enmity do you have with my Seven Stars Spirit Realm?"
An elderly voice echoed from within the palace, resounding in this Heaven and Earth. Hearing his voice, the agitated disciples in the plaza calmed down one by one.
This was a senior from the Five Stars Cave, renowned overseas, surely capable of subduing Sword Venerable Fudao!
Since the Seven Stars Spirit Realm had many Minor Heaven and Earths, and they existed separately without being connected, the battle in the Minor Heaven and Earth where the Ji Family resided could not be felt. They were unaware that a Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal had already fallen at Gu An's hands.
They did not know, but the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal inside the palace was very clear about it!
"Raising the Demon Ancestor, creating Evil Demons, and toying with mortals, do you still wonder if there's a grudge?"
Gu An's voice rang out, changing the expressions of all the cultivators in the plaza.
Although they had vaguely heard of it, it was still hard to accept when Sword Venerable Fudao tore away the disguise of this sin.
After all, the Seven Stars Spirit Realm prided itself as following the Righteous Path!
Boom——
The palace doors swung open, a strong wind howled out, blowing the demonic qi on Gu An and forcing back all the disciples in the plaza.
A figure walked out from the depths of the palace, a man in a feathered robe with a valiant face, a white crane's shadow swirling behind him, his whole being exuding Immortal aura. He walked to the steps, looking down at Gu An from above.
"You, covered in demonic qi, have come to seek justice in a Holy Land. Don't you find it laughable?"
The feathered robe man asked indifferently.
[Ten Thousand Miles Divine Lord (Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal Realm, third layer): 158082/260000/310000]
Gu An looked at the prompt in front of him, unmoved.
He could feel that Ten Thousand Miles Divine Lord was stalling for time; several Heaven and Earth Flying Immortals were rushing over. This was precisely what Gu An wanted.
Gu An responded: "Demon is not demon, Immortal is not Immortal; if the heavens won't judge you, I will."
Ten Thousand Miles Divine Lord laughed aloud as if he had heard a grand joke.
"That Demon Ancestor is formed from the Qi Fortune of Heaven and Earth, it can only be killed, not abolished forever. To suppress it, how many disciples of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm have guarded here for generations? The Evil Demons are vile beyond measure. To seal it, how many lives has the Seven Stars Spirit Realm lost?"
"Sword Venerable Fudao, do you know how many enemies the Seven Stars Spirit Realm has repelled to protect the environment of this continent, how many disciples have been buried in the ocean?"
"You only see the suffering of the mortals on the continent, but have you considered how much the Seven Stars Spirit Realm has sacrificed?"
Ten Thousand Miles Divine Lord spoke vehemently, his words stirring the emotions of all the cultivators in the plaza.
Indeed, others might not know, but being disciples of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm, how could they be unaware of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm's long-term defense of the continent?
Each of them had close relatives or friends who had died in battles with ocean forces and demons.
They looked at Gu An with expressions full of anger, as if Gu An was the sinner.
Gu An stood in place, quietly watching Ten Thousand Miles Divine Lord. When Ten Thousand Miles Divine Lord finished speaking, he suddenly asked: "The Evil Demons on the continent have been eliminated by me; why, then, are there other Evil Demons in your hall?" Stay tuned for updates on m-v l|e'm,p y r
The plaza fell silent instantly, all eyes fixed on Ten Thousand Miles Divine Lord.
Ten Thousand Miles Divine Lord coldly replied: "Nonsense, must I let you enter the hall to check?"
Rumble——
Rolling thunderclouds swiftly covered the sky, vast auras descended. Ten Thousand Miles Divine Lord visibly relaxed a bit.
"My Seven Stars Spirit Realm is the Holy Land established by the Immortal Path Holy Court in the mortal world, how could you, an evil demon, slander it!"
"Laughable, one who dares not reveal his true self, yet dreams of toppling the Seven Stars Spirit Realm singlehandedly?"
"Killing our Divine Lord of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm, today will see you eradicated without reincarnation!"
"For hundreds of thousands of years, how many beings have been saved by my Seven Stars Spirit Realm; do you think you can shake it?"
"Whether one is righteous or demonic, it's not for you to judge!"
One after another, majestic and imposing voices resounded like thunder, startling the disciples in the plaza. They all looked up, their faces full of shock.
Strong lights emerged from the swirling thunderclouds, piercing through the sea of clouds and illuminating the sky and earth.
At the same time.
Snow began to fall over the continent.
In the height of summer, snowflakes drifted down from the sky, causing all beings on earth to wonder.
In the Third Medicine Valley.
The disciples stopped what they were doing and looked up at the snowflakes filling the sky.
Yang Jian stood in front of the wooden railing, reaching out to catch a snowflake. It quickly melted, turning not into water, but a wisp of white gas.
"This is..." Yang Jian frowned, sensing an elusive aura from the snowflake. This aura intrigued him, and he immediately reached out to grab more snowflakes.
You Yingying, who was playing chess with An Xin, looked up.
"Snow in summer, what kind of omen is this? I've never seen it before," An Xin muttered.
You Yingying reached out, catching a snowflake. It turned into a wisp of white gas and dissipated. Her expression changed slightly, and she whispered, "Heavenly snowfall, snow turning to gas, this is abnormal; could it be the legendary sign of an Immortal's fall?"
An Xin asked curiously, "What is the sign of an Immortal's fall?"
You Yingying replied, "I've heard that when a high Dao Level Immortal falls, Heaven and Earth would produce an anomaly, as a testament to their life's cultivation achievements."
"An Immortal's fall? Is it on this continent or overseas?" An Xin asked curiously.
You Yingying looked up, her eyes complex, and answered, "Probably on this continent."
Throughout the Supreme Sect, any cultivator exposed to sunlight was discussing this sudden anomaly in Heaven and Earth.
Ye Lan also stepped out of her room and into the courtyard. She looked up with furrowed brows.
Miles away, Wu Jue was similarly affected. Yet, he seemed to attain an almost mystical state, as if comprehending something.
In the Great Jiang Dynasty, in the Juhua Sect.
Jiang Qiong and the Ghost Mother of Ephemera stood on the cliff's edge, reaching out to catch snowflakes.
"A sign of an Immortal's fall. It appears the conflict between the Seven Stars Spirit Realm and the Star Sea Congregations has reached an irreconcilable point. A high Dao Level Immortal has fallen," the Ghost Mother of Ephemera said, frowning with worry.
Jiang Qiong smiled, "The more fiercely they fight, the better it is for us."
Despite her words, she felt an inexplicable unease, as if something bad was about to happen.
...
In the Seven Stars Spirit Realm.
The thunderclouds spread, forming a giant vortex. A golden mirror floated in the vortex, its edges carved with patterns of various divine beasts, the mirror surface a deep blue, surrounded by crimson flames.
Immortal Path Supreme Treasure, the Seven Stars Mirror!
In front of the Seven Stars Mirror, a figure floated. He wore a long purple robe, with two fiery red orbs hovering over his shoulders like suns. Behind him was a crescent moon, from which wisps of spiritual energy emanated, forming colorful clouds around him.
He looked down at Gu An from above.
[Realm Master of Heavenly Meaning (Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal Realm, seventh layer): 187034/420000/490000]
Gu An looked at this man's life span with slight satisfaction.
In this Heaven and Earth, a total of seven Heaven and Earth Flying Immortals had appeared. Besides the Realm Master of Heavenly Meaning, the cultivation levels of the others were all below the sixth layer, except for one who had reached the fifth layer of the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal Realm.
With the appearance of the Seven Stars Mirror, the entire Minor Heaven and Earth was sealed. Creatures outside could not enter, and those inside could not escape.
The disciples in the plaza bore unimaginable pressure, falling to their knees and painfully gazing at the sky.
The high-standing six Heaven and Earth Flying Immortals remained indifferent to the disciples' suffering.
So did Ten Thousand Miles Divine Lord in front of the palace doors. He took out a Divine Weapon, a silver spear about ten feet long, with a black flag just below the spearhead, depicting a demonic shadow.
All seven Heaven and Earth Flying Immortals focused their gazes on Gu An.
At this moment, Gu An seemed to be resisting the entire Heaven and Earth!
