Cangjiang Daozhou!
Boundless, stretching across hundreds of millions of kilometers, it lies like a giant dragon on the vast land along the Cangjiang River.
There is a very ordinary blacksmith shop.
The blacksmith's skills are excellent, and cultivators from tens of thousands of miles around come here seeking swords.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
The sound of hammering and forging constantly rings out.
"Iron Sword, Iron Sword, good... good news!"
At this moment, an old man with a crutch and a missing foot excitedly bursts into the blacksmith shop.
With his Golden Immortal realm, he naturally has the ability to regenerate a severed limb.
However, after that great battle, in order to constantly remind himself to cultivate diligently, he deliberately left his foot crippled.
"Tian Can, what good news?"
A burly man, bare-chested, covered in sweat, with muscles like intertwined dragons, stops hammering the sword in his hand.
Iron Sword.
A legend in the Human Dao World, the Star Extremity World.
An iron sword crossed the sky, severing the firmament, he is one of the strongest sword cultivators in the Human Dao World.
After Jiang Ning unified the Human Dao World, he pledged allegiance to the Great Xia Heavenly Court.
"His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has news."
Tian Can says excitedly.
"Really?" Iron Sword is also incredibly excited upon hearing this.
These former subordinates of his have been living in seclusion in the Immortal Realm, hiding their identities and eking out a living, constantly waiting for news from the Heavenly Emperor.
They believe that the Heavenly Emperor will not abandon them.
After entering the Immortal Realm, all the major sects are fully hunting down ascenders.
Iron Sword and Tian Can, therefore, hid on the bank of the Cangjiang River to cultivate in seclusion, waiting for the Heavenly Emperor to summon them.
"Really!"
"And His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has already taken down the Immortal Court, and it is rumored that he has become so powerful that he can even kill Dao Ancestors."
"Haha, with such a powerful Heavenly Emperor, who do we still fear?"
Tian Can waves his hands and feet in excitement.
Not concealing the excitement in his heart.
Jiang Ning brought them to immortality, stepped onto the immortal path, and opened up a path for the creatures of the Human Dao World.
Naturally, they highly recognize and are loyal to Jiang Ning, the Heavenly Emperor.
"Only His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has the ability to do it, cultivating for hundreds of years, and he can kill Dao Ancestors."
Iron Sword's eyes are filled with fervent adoration.
"Iron Sword, pack up, His Majesty is summoning us former subordinates to the Sky Immortal Island."
"Let's set off together."
Tian Can says.
"Okay, let's set off now."
The blacksmith shop is no longer needed, after a simple packing up, Iron Sword prepares to set off with Tian Can to the Sky Immortal Island.
Just at this moment, a group of people bursts into the blacksmith shop.
They are all burly men, carrying large broadswords and axes.
"It's time to pay the protection fee."
"This year's protection fee is doubled."
A True Immortal at the head of the group smiles.
They are members of the nearby Flood Dragon Gang.
People within tens of thousands of miles around here all need to pay them protection fees.
Anyone who doesn't pay will be slaughtered directly.
They are notorious on the banks of the Cangjiang River.
In recent years, Iron Sword's blacksmith shop has been doing very well.
Therefore, this group of Flood Dragon Gang members are squeezing the blacksmith shop more and more.
Iron Sword, out of consideration for his identity, does not dare to act rashly, so he swallows his anger and obediently pays the protection fee.
Now, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is already invincible, summoning his ministers, he no longer needs to endure.
"Protection fee? Hehe."
"I'll give it to you."
Iron Sword sneers.
Using his finger as a sword, he slashes at the group of the Flood Dragon Gang.
"Ah, ah~"
Immediately, there are screams of agony, and blood flows like a river.
"You..."
"Who exactly are you?"
The True Immortal at the head of the group cannot believe that a seemingly ordinary blacksmith's strength is so terrifying.
He is definitely a hidden expert.
But he cannot understand why he allowed them to bully him before.
"Let me tell you, I am an ascender."
Iron Sword announces loudly.
He has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
He can't wait to announce his identity as an ascender to the entire Immortal Realm.
"Tian Can, before we leave, let's do one thing."
In Iron Sword's hand, a rusty iron sword appears.
It looks extremely ordinary.
"Haha, this Flood Dragon Gang has been causing trouble for a long time, okay, let's do a good deed and get rid of them."
Tian Can laughs, naturally knowing what his old partner is thinking.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two Golden Immortal mighty figures transform into a stream of light and rush towards the Flood Dragon Gang.
Golden Immortals, placed within a Daozhou, can be said to be the ceiling of existence.
The Flood Dragon Gang's leader is only a Profound Immortal.
Naturally, he is not Iron Sword and Tian Can's opponent.
Without any effort, they completely eliminate the Flood Dragon Gang, which has been harming the area for many years.
Then, they set off towards Sky Immortal Island.
...
Wutong Daozhou, Xuanhuang Chamber of Commerce.
Since Jiang Ning helped Sun Yuchan destroy the Jvbao Chamber of Commerce last time, the Xuanhuang Chamber of Commerce has gradually unified the entire Daozhou.
Sun Yuchan, also with the help of the resources left by Jiang Ning, has stepped into the Immortal King Realm with half a foot.
"Your Majesty... he actually took down the Immortal Court?"
After learning this news, Sun Yuchan can hardly believe it.
Immediately, she summons her disciple Mu Wanying to come.
"Master, is there anything you need to instruct?"
A heroic and spirited woman comes forward and asks with a smile.
"Next, the Xuanhuang Chamber of Commerce will be handed over to you."
Sun Yuchan says directly, handing over all the power of the Xuanhuang Chamber of Commerce, which she personally created, to her disciple.
Mu Wanying is very surprised upon hearing this, looking at her master in confusion.
Sun Yuchan says, "His Majesty has taken down the Immortal Court and is rebuilding the Great Xia Heavenly Court on Sky Immortal Island. As a former subordinate, I must return."
"What?"
"That person from last time... he defeated the legendary Immortal Lord? Occupied Sky Immortal Island?"
"How is this possible?"
Hearing this news, Mu Wanying is completely dumbfounded.
"Alright, I'm leaving."
"After things stabilize, I'll come and take you to the Great Xia Heavenly Court."
After saying that, Sun Yuchan disappears directly from the spot.
Leaving Mu Wanying stunned in place, not yet having recovered.
...
Manghuang Daozhou.
It is the territory of the demon race.
Here, mountains and ridges are steep and towering into the clouds.
Occupied by countless demon races.
There are also countless swamp lands, hiding countless crises.
In the Black Marsh of ten thousand miles, sits a hegemonic force, the Swallowing Heaven Cave.
In the Swallowing Heaven Cave, sits a Swallowing Heaven Crocodile.
It is a Demon Emperor. (Immortal Emperor.)
He is powerful, controlling the Black Marsh of ten thousand miles.
"Hehe, beauty, if you agree to marry me, this Emperor will release this stinky dragon."
The Swallowing Heaven Crocodile transforms into a brawny man, smiling at a charming and alluring peerless beauty in front of him.
The woman in front of him, her beautiful face, makes anyone unable to resist being moved, she is truly too beautiful.
Her whole body is filled with a soul-stirring, mind-boggling charm.
Possessing the ability to captivate all living beings.
It is the little fox Jiang Li.
The little fox raised by Jiang Ning.
After entering the Immortal Realm, she came to Manghuang Daozhou, where demons gather.
Then she was met by the Swallowing Heaven Crocodile, and he was instantly completely smitten.
He wants the little fox to marry him.
The little fox naturally refuses, so she is imprisoned by the Swallowing Heaven Crocodile.
Long Ritain came to rescue the little fox, but he was no match for the Swallowing Heaven Crocodile, and was severely injured and imprisoned in the dungeon.
"Little fox, don't listen to this stinky crocodile, Dragon Grandpa is not afraid of death."
"Don't ever marry him."
"I promised Big Brother to take good care of you, even if I die, I will do it."
Usually, Long Ritain looks like a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but at this moment, he is very loyal.
"A scoundrel dragon, dares to be presumptuous in front of this Emperor."
The Swallowing Heaven Crocodile is furious, and a terrifying energy strikes Long Ritain's body.
"Ah, ah, ah~"
Long Ritain screams in pain.
"You... you stop it now."
Seeing Long Ritain's miserable scene, the little fox is very anxious and shouts quickly.
"Little fox, don't beg him, I believe Big Brother will avenge me."
Long Ritain says very bravely at this time.
"Your Big Brother? Hehe, coming here is also courting death."
The Swallowing Heaven Crocodile smiles very disdainfully, very confident in his strength.
The Swallowing Heaven Crocodile increases his strength by a few points, and Long Ritain's life force is disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, Long Ritain is already on the verge of death, unable to even speak.
"No..."
"You stop."
"Okay, I'll marry you."
Seeing that Long Ritain is about to sacrifice his life for her, the little fox can only nod her head painfully in agreement.
"Brother Jiang, where are you?"
The little fox cries.
Every time she is bullied, Brother Jiang will appear by her side.
"Hahaha, that's great."
"You finally agreed."
Seeing the little fox agree, the Swallowing Heaven Crocodile is overjoyed and releases Long Ritain.
But, he still imprisons him in the dungeon.
...
"Little fox, Brother Long, you have to wait, I will definitely find a way to save you."
Xuanwu transforms into a crocodile turtle, wandering in the Black Marsh, trying to rescue the little fox and Long Ritain.
With the help of the Xuan Ancestor bloodline, he has now evolved to the Demon King level.
Just as Xuanwu is wandering, he suddenly hears a group of crocodiles chatting there.
"Unbelievable and hard to believe."
"It is rumored that the ascenders have occupied the Immortal Court, and the Immortal Lord has fallen."
"The ascenders have even announced the establishment of the Great Xia Heavenly Court, summoning all the ascenders to go."
"When did the strength of the ascenders become so powerful?"
A few crocodiles can't believe it at all.
Jiang Ning, in order to let every ascender get the news.
Under his operation, this news can be said to have spread throughout the entire Immortal Realm without a single Daozhou missing.
Even in remote small mountain villages, the news has been transmitted.
It can be said that everyone knows it.
"His Majesty is going to rebuild the Great Xia Heavenly Court, summoning us, this group of former subordinates?"
Xuanwu is shocked upon hearing this.
The sudden shock also exposes his aura.
"Who is it?" A few crocodiles instantly rush over with滔天baleful aura.
Xuanwu roars loudly, spraying out countless 精light, directly shooting and killing the rushing crocodiles.
At this time, a Demon King level, jet-black, extremely huge crocodile opens its bloody mouth, and swallows towards Xuanwu.
Xuanwu uses a treasured technique, blocking the black crocodile's attack.
Then, he directly escapes.
The black crocodile is not Xuanwu's opponent at all.
However, Xuanwu does not want to get entangled.
If he attracts the Swallowing Heaven Crocodile, he will surely die.
"Damn it, it's that Xuanwu again, he got away."
The black crocodile says very angrily.
Obviously, they are not dealing with Xuanwu for the first time.
Then, the black crocodile returns to the Swallowing Heaven Cave, reporting the truth to the Swallowing Heaven Crocodile.
"Don't pay attention to that Xuanwu."
"A mere Demon King is not worth mentioning, the important task now is to prepare for this Emperor's wedding, and invite guests widely."
The Swallowing Heaven Crocodile is a guy who cares about face.
He is getting married, so naturally he wants all the big demons with faces in Manghuang Daozhou to come.
He is not in a hurry to get married and enter the bridal chamber immediately.
Anyway, for them Demon Emperors, even a thousand years, ten thousand years, are just a snap of the fingers, there is no need to be too anxious.
"Yes, Great King."
The black crocodile accepts the order.
Then, the elites of the crocodile clan begin to leave the Black Marsh, heading to various mountains, notifying those big demons to come and attend the wedding.
Gathering these guests will definitely take a long time.
...
Xuantian Daozhou.
Questioning Heaven Immortal Sect.
The Questioning Immortal Residence where the inner disciples live.
A beautiful woman is dancing with a sword.
Her slender and graceful figure completely outlines her charm.
It is Jiang Ning's aunt Li Qingning.
After ascending to the Immortal Realm, she came to Xuantian Daozhou.
She happened to meet the Jiang family being hunted down by enemies.
She casually took action and saved them.
In order to thank Li Qingning for her life-saving grace, they gave her a letter.
With this letter, she will be able to enter the Questioning Heaven Immortal Sect, one of the nine great immortal dao sects of Xuantian Daozhou.
Originally, this opportunity belonged to Jiang Yunyan, the third young lady of the Jiang family.
But Jiang Yunyan has been killed.
Therefore, she replaced Jiang Yunyan's identity and entered the Questioning Heaven Immortal Sect.
Just at this moment.
An arrogant and domineering woman in azure clothes, leading a group of people, bursts in.
Surrounding Li Qingning.
"Bitch, I have completely investigated your background."
"She is not Jiang Yunyan, the third young lady of the Jiang family at all, but an ascender!"
"The great sects of the Immortal Realm are all hunting down ascenders, capture her to receive a reward, and you will definitely receive countless treasures."
The woman in azure clothes looks at Li Qingning coldly.
The others are also looking at Li Qingning with bloodshot eyes.
As if she is a gold mountain.
The area of the Immortal Realm is really too large.
The speed of the news spreading naturally won't be known in time.
They only know that the great sects of the Immortal Realm are hunting down ascenders.
But they don't know that the ascender Jiang Ning devoured fifty-three great sects of the Immortal Realm.
"You actually discovered it?"
Li Qingning's face changes, without any scheming.
"Hahaha, so you really are an ascender."
The woman in azure clothes laughs loudly.
She and Li Qingning, formed a grudge because of a trial.
She knows very well that she is not Li Qingning's opponent, moreover, Li Qingning is hiding in the sect, she simply does not dare to be unfavorable to her.
After all, Li Qingning held a significant position in the sect due to her powerful talent.
Her master was even a Golden Immortal powerhouse.
So she wanted to destroy the Jiang family to retaliate against Li Qingning.
After going to the Jiang family, she discovered that Li Qingning was not the Jiang family's Third Miss at all.
She used the powerful influence of her family to investigate.
Li Qingning's past was completely blank, as if she had appeared out of thin air.
Thinking of the widely spread news about the Immortal Domain's great sects hunting down ascenders.
Therefore, she began to suspect that Li Qingning was an ascender.
Originally, her plan was to frame Li Qingning as an ascender, regardless of whether she was one or not, and capture her first.
To the blue-clothed woman's great delight, Li Qingning, after being tricked by her, actually admitted that she was an ascender.
This was a surprise she had never expected.
"Since you admit that you are an ascender."
"Capture her and take her to see the Sect Leader for a reward."
The blue-clothed woman said with great joy.
At this moment, the crowd rushed forward.
Li Qingning frowned.
She knew that this was not the time to use her full strength.
As an ascender, Li Qingning naturally had amazing talent and had already stepped into the Golden Immortal realm.
However, she usually disguised herself as a Celestial Immortal to hide her strength.
Faced with the crowd's attack, Li Qingning no longer concealed her realm and struck them with a palm.
"Puchi!"
"Puchi!"
How could they be a match for the Golden Immortal Li Qingning? They were directly struck and spat out blood.
"What?"
"You... you are a Golden Immortal, how is that possible?" The blue-clothed woman's eyes widened, utterly incredulous.
How could Li Qingning be a Golden Immortal?
Golden Immortals were existences standing at the peak of Xuantian Dao Province.
Li Qingning's attack, with the might of a Golden Immortal, alarmed the entire Wentian Immortal Sect.
At this time, the Wentian Sect Leader, dressed in a celestial and refined blue robe, arrived.
This was a giant of Xuantian Dao Province.
A peerless powerhouse who had half a foot into the Immortal King realm.
"Sect Leader... you came just in time."
"We discovered that she is an ascender and now wants to kill us to silence us."
Seeing the Sect Leader arrive, the blue-clothed woman revealed a look of joy.
As if she had found a savior.
Li Qingning's heart also sank.
She naturally knew the Sect Leader's strength.
She had just entered the Golden Immortal realm and was no match for him at all.
"You... you are an ascender?"
The Wentian Sect Leader was taken aback and looked at Li Qingning.
Looking at her Golden Immortal realm, he immediately understood.
"Sect Leader, I am." Li Qingning nodded and simply admitted it.
"Sect Leader, quickly capture her, and you will definitely receive treasures bestowed by the great sects of the Immortal Domain."
The blue-clothed woman said excitedly.
"Bang!"
Then, the Wentian Sect Leader did not attack Li Qingning at all.
Instead, he waved his sleeve, and the blue-clothed woman was directly thrown out, crashing into a stone pillar.
She spat out a large mouthful of blood.
In the crowd's astonished gazes, the Wentian Sect Leader's attitude was surprisingly respectful.
"The arrival of an ascender to our sect brings great honor."
The Wentian Sect Leader was terrified at this moment.
Kill the ascender?
Today's ascenders are the strongest force in the Immortal Domain.
Even the Immortal Court has been occupied by them.
Who knows how many Dao Ancestors have died.
Even if he had ten thousand guts, he would not dare to be unfavorable to the ascender.
If the Wentian Sect Leader knew.
Li Qingning was Jiang Ning's aunt, and her biological sister was a Dao Ancestor.
He would probably be scared to death on the spot.
"What's wrong with the Sect Leader?"
"Why... why did he attack me?"
The blue-clothed woman was very puzzled.
Moreover, her family's ancestor and the Sect Leader were lifelong friends.
Even Li Qingning was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
At this moment, a huge vortex appeared in the sky above the Wentian Immortal Sect.
"A... a great figure is descending."
The Wentian Sect Leader was taken aback.
Boom!
The terrifying power of the Great Dao enveloped the entire immortal sect.
"The aura of the Great Dao... it's... it's a Dao Ancestor!"
The Wentian Sect Leader was completely frightened.
A Dao Ancestor has descended, heavens!
He had never even seen an Immortal Emperor in his life.
The personal arrival of a Dao Ancestor almost scared the Wentian Sect Leader to death.
"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!"
The Wentian Sect Leader knelt on the ground.
"Greetings, Dao Ancestor."
The people of the Wentian Immortal Sect all knelt on the ground.
"Could it be that the matter of the ascender has attracted the personal arrival of a Dao Ancestor?"
"Hehe, with the Dao Ancestor personally present, let's see if you still won't die."
The blue-clothed woman fell into fantasy, a sneer appearing on the corner of her mouth.
"Ning'er, your sister has finally found you."
From within the huge vortex, Li Qingning walked out happily.
Through the power of blood, Li Qingning successfully found her sister.
Every Dao Ancestor can use this ability.
"Sister... you are a Dao Ancestor?"
Li Qingning was utterly incredulous.
She was only a Golden Immortal, and her sister had broken through to the Dao Ancestor realm?
"What?"
"She is Jiang Yunyan's sister?"
The Wentian Sect Leader was so frightened that his face turned pale.
The blue-clothed woman who had opposed Li Qingning was directly scared to death.
The Dao Ancestor's sister!
Even if a billion of his families were added together, they would all have to die.
"Let's go, your sister will slowly chat with you."
Li Qingning ignored the people of the Wentian Immortal Sect and left with her sister.
