NOVEL NEXT Chapter 707: Founding the Shangqing Jie Sect
Ever since ascending to the Immortal World alongside Emperor Zhenwu and others during the tribulation, Daoist Shangqing's experiences have been rather legendary. Wandering alone, he was eventually captured by the Hong Clan of the Ancient Witch Clan and turned into a mining slave.
Initially, there was indeed a sense of darkness, where living seemed worse than dying, but after Daoist Shangqing's enlightenment, he felt as though he had transformed into another person. The mysteries of the Immortal Dao came naturally from his heart, with the realm of Immortal Dao Enlightenment visibly advancing.
It was as if these Immortal Dao insights were innately clear to him.
Thus, Daoist Shangqing remained there, occasionally teaching the mining slaves around him.
Nowadays, most of the mining slaves in this Immortal Ore have become his disciples.
When Su Yu arrived with the old dragon in the Qinghe Territory, they heard news of the turmoil at that Immortal Ore, where an alien passage had appeared beneath the Immortal Ore, and countless aliens surged through.
At the critical moment, Daoist Shangqing's cultivation leaped to the Golden Immortal Peak, with one foot stepping into the Taiyin Immortal Realm.
Yet, his power seemed even mightier than the usual Taiyi True Immortal, forcefully suppressing the aliens who had breached the barrier of the Immortal World and driving them back.
Once the trouble was resolved, Daoist Shangqing led a group of mining slave disciples who had acknowledged him as their teacher and left, vanishing without a trace.
Upon hearing this news, Su Yu was stunned for quite a while.
The old dragon found it equally unimaginable, inhaling sharply, he slightly divined but couldn't calculate a shred of destiny about Daoist Shangqing. Immediately, his heart grew apprehensive as he murmured, "Master, your old friend's background might be anything but simple!"
Su Yu understood the old dragon's meaning, yet he frowned slightly, knowing Daoist Shangqing hailed from the True Martial Cultivation World.
Not from the Immortal World.
If Daoist Shangqing's origin was indeed extraordinary, then what might be his background or identity?
Originally, Su Yu wanted to find traces of Daoist Shangqing, as they came from the same place, but now Su Yu felt the once-familiar Daoist Shangqing seemed to hold a few more hints of strangeness.
The desire in his heart to seek out Daoist Shangqing also dissipated.
Bringing the old dragon to the Immortal Ore location, Su Yu glanced at the Immortal Ore underground sealed by the Heaven-reaching Immortal Formation laid by the Hong Clan, through the Endless Void, within which lay the alien passage visible in Su Yu's perspective.
Even through this alien passage, he could vaguely glimpse the alien world on the other side.
A very peculiar world of unruly heavens inhabited by aliens.
While its primal breath doesn't match the Immortal World, it surpasses the True Martial Cultivation World enormously, hosting an endless starry sky dotted with countless stars.
The aliens looked varied in form, however, the majority included a humanoid appearance with multiple heads and arms.
The weakest had two heads and four arms.
Approximately comparable to the Earth Immortal Realm.
The strongest viable aura seemed akin to the Taiyin Immortal Realm, bearing five heads and ten arms.
At that moment.
The aliens continued madly charging at the Ancient Witch Clan's side, though limited by the size of the passage, the number of aliens able to rush out at a time was not large, yet endlessly continuous.
The stench of blood had already engulfed the entire Immortal Ore, piling up a mountain of corpses comprising numerous alien bodies along with those of the Ancient Witch Clan.
Witnessing this alien passage, Su Yu vaguely realized why it was said that wherever this alien passage lay was precisely the battlefield of the heavens, where the Immortal World's position and heritage were indisputable, undoubtedly representing an extremely potent existence.
These alien passage battlefields were likely established by various heavens coveting the Immortal World, venturing for a further step to open, and repeatedly charging in a frenzy, aiming to descend upon the Immortal World, seize its resources, and potentially even capture the Immortal World.
The aliens appearing at the Ancient Witch Clan's Immortal Ore might not possess overly strong power, corresponding simply to the Taiyin Immortal Realm level.
Given the Hong Clan's foundational strength, it couldn't surely repress and guard against them.
But across the myriad worlds, how many aliens truly covet the Immortal World, and to what extent their strength might reach, even a mere thought leaves Su Yu somewhat unnerved.
Some of the aliens might indeed lack strength.
But among them, there must exist dreadfully terrifying beings in origin.
These creatures joined forces, collectively coveting and charging at the Immortal World, yet the Immortal World endures to this day.
The Human Clan remains one of the dominators of the Immortal World, to Su Yu, this peril and struggle likely far exceed anyone's imagination.
The Heavenly Court as the Human Clan's dominant force unquestionably plays a pivotal role.
In an instant.
Su Yu's heart swelled with sentiment, then he turned, taking the old dragon away: "Let's return."
Upon returning, Su Yu still needs to visit the Hundred Rivers Immortal Alliance.
Currently, he remains unclear regarding the smaller, secretive alien passage battlefields aside from those guarded by forces like the Heavenly Court in the Hundred River Immortal Domain.
On the other side.
After Daoist Shangqing left Qinghe Territory with a group of disciples, he retreated from the Hundred River Immortal Domain, seeking a scenic Immortal Mountain, before pausing to establish Shangqing Jie Sect, self-proclaiming as Heaven-reaching.
Hundred River Immortal Domain.
Upon returning to the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance, Su Yu brought the old dragon, Fan Xiao, Nan Xiaogu, and others to advance towards the Hundred Rivers Immortal Alliance.
The Hundred Rivers Immortal Alliance sits at the center of the Hundred River Immortal Domain, not far from the Divine Monarch Mansion of the Bai Family, yet as Su Yu stepped into this territory, an individual emerged ahead, blocking their path.
Su Yu appeared, gazing at the middle-aged Daoist ahead.
The aura emanating from this person evidently belonged to the Taiyin Immortal Realm, marking them a Taiyi True Immortal.
"Who are you? Why block our path?" Su Yu slightly raised his eyebrows, inquiring in a serious tone.
Yet that person merely regarded Su Yu coldly, peering at the old dragon, Nan Xiaogu, and others behind him, then voiced hoarsely, "I am here simply to deliver a message; don't be too self-assured, lest you eat too much and burst yourself."
"That's all I have to say, goodbye."
Su Yu watched as this person turned to leave, laughing coldly, "To come and go as you please? Have you asked for my permission?"
Buzz!
The middle-aged Daoist stepped forth intending to deploy the Escape Skill, ignoring Su Yu's presence.
Yet as he stepped out, he appeared right in front of Su Yu, rather than far away.
The middle-aged Daoist's expression darkened instantly, a vast immortal might of Taiyi True Immortal coagulated and erupted from him, glaring fiercely as he shouted angrily towards Su Yu, "Presumptuous!"
But as he intended to attack Su Yu, the old dragon had already charged forth, morphing into a colossal pureblood Candle Dragon.
A single claw swipe carried annihilating might, enveloping the middle-aged Daoist entirely.
The middle-aged Daoist's face transformed dramatically, confronting the old dragon's claw head-on, yet was repelled by the old dragon's terrifying destructive force, with disorderly immortal power flowing within, spraying out a mouthful of reverse blood: "Pffft!"
"Boom!"
After merely ten exchanges, the middle-aged Daoist was yet again struck by old dragon's Divine Dragon Tail Swing's divine skill onto the earth, his aura plummeting, seriously wounded, bloodied: "Pffft!"
Su Yu approached atop with the old dragon, Fan Xiao, Nan Xiaogu, and others, gazing down and shaking his head gently, "Who gave you the courage to dare utter madness in front of us."
