The upheaval at the Southern Wilderness Military Academy quickly spread throughout the land.
The name "Seven Swords of Heaven" is so famous that it has caused a sensation in the real world!
Countless impoverished youths, ordinary martial artists, commoners, and even some martial artists from powerful factions have secretly traveled to the Southern Wilderness, hoping to join the Crimson Demon Sect and learn martial arts at the Martial Arts Academy.
The major powers were shocked, furious, and even felt a sense of fear. They quickly united and decided to besiege the Southern Wilderness, but had to abandon the plan because many of their avatars had other important matters to attend to and were going to the Nine Heavens.
Even if some Dharma Bodies are unwilling to risk going to the Ninth Heaven, they will go south with other Grandmasters at the peak of the Outer Realm, intending to cause trouble for the Crimson Demon Sect, destroy the Martial Arts Hall, and plunder wealth, cultivation techniques, and other resources.
But as soon as they arrived in the Southern Wilderness, before they could even truly enter, they were struck by lightning that appeared from nowhere, severely injuring them, and some of the unluckiest ones were even killed on the spot.
Those who survived were largely protected by their ancestral divine weapon, though they continued to cough up blood and their eyes were filled with fear.
"Get out!" A cold shout echoed across the land, shaking the world.
Those Dharma bodies and grandmasters retreated in fear and unease, as if they were being chased by a primordial beast.
They dared not venture south to the southern wilderness again!
To avoid attracting attacks from powerful figures and revealing the strength of major forces, Cao Ya acted with restraint, killing some and severely injuring others, but not wiping them all out.
This both reduced their threat and served as a strong deterrent to many powerful forces.
It's better than killing them all, which would cause the major powers to unite against a common enemy.
Although Cao Ya is strong, he does not believe that he can truly dominate the world.
The resources and influence of certain powerful forces are sufficient to pose a threat to him, and even endanger his life!
For example, the Wang family of Jiangdong and the Luo family.
Because of this open action, the news that the Crimson Demon Sect of the Southern Wilderness possessed a mysterious Dharma body finally spread throughout the world and became known to all.
Furthermore, because the Central Plains Dharma Body was defeated by that mysterious Dharma Body in one move and was seriously injured and on the verge of death, people believed that this mysterious Dharma Body was at least at the Earth Immortal realm!
I don't believe that the mysterious Dharma body can compare to the indestructible Arhat.
Little did they know that these two identities actually belonged to the same person!
People speculate that this mysterious Dharma body is the enigmatic "Nine-Complete Martial Artist," and the lightning that suddenly appeared in the sky at that time was very similar to the artistic conception of the "Thunder Spirit Treasure Technique."
Some powerful forces, harboring the idea of dealing with the "Nine-Complete Warrior" and the Crimson Demon Sect, took the initiative to visit Shaolin Temple, hoping to invite the Undying Arhat to come out of the mountains and kill the strongest person in the Crimson Demon Sect - the Nine-Complete Warrior!
However, Cao Ya completely ignored these guys and couldn't be bothered with them at all.
Many powerful forces were dissatisfied with the attitude of the Undying Arhat, but they were powerless to do anything about it. Even if they had grievances, they could only keep them to themselves.
Although the Undying Arhats are from the Buddhist sect, they are decisive in killing. A single wisp of sword energy is enough to annihilate a human immortal's Dharma body. If they offend the Undying Arhats, their fate will not be much better than if they broke into the Southern Wilderness.
Undeterred, the powerful forces turned to top martial arts sects like Huamei Manor, Xijian Pavilion, and Chunyang Sect, hoping to persuade powerful Earth Immortals such as Master Lu, Su Wuming, and Daoist Chonghe to intervene.
However, these people ignored them.
They also wanted to observe the situation in the Southern Wilderness for a while longer.
They did not have a completely negative or fearful attitude.
As for evil forces, such as Han Guang of the Extinction Gate and the Dharma King of the Luo Cult, they would naturally not go to serve as vanguards for the righteous forces.
In any case, with the rise of the Crimson Demonic Sect, the first to be impacted were not the evil sects, but the righteous sects and families.
There are also two major dynasties in the Central Plains and the North!
The Great Jin Dynasty, which was close to the Southern Wilderness, was willing but unable to do so, as it could not personally oversee the situation.
However, the Northern Zhou, which possesses the Dharma Body of an Earth Immortal, does not border the Southern Wilderness. If Gao Lan were to move south, the first place to become desolate would not be the Southern Wilderness, but the Great Jin.
In fact, Gao Lan could not possibly go south. His goal was the grasslands, and he planned to first go north and then south to unify the Real World.
Of course, with Cao Ya in the Southern Wilderness, it wouldn't make much of a difference if Gao Lan had a brain fart and actually went south.
If Cao Ya is truly angered, he will personally lead the Reincarnation Seal out, and even if Gao Lan has the Emperor's Sword, he will not escape death.
In the latest edition of the "Heavenly Ranking," the Nine-Complete Martial Artist made the list, ranking only after a few Celestial Immortals and Earthly Immortals.
The Crimson Demonic Sect, now openly, finally has a powerful Dharma Master in charge!
The world's powers were in mourning, utterly silent, which only made the Crimson Demonic Sect of the Southern Wilderness seem even more formidable.
However, the Crimson Demon Sect has never left the Southern Wilderness to expand into the outside world, which has relieved many forces and made them very happy.
The Crimson Demonic Sect, from top to bottom, also knew that their strength was not yet enough to pacify the Real World. It was time to change the world, redefine the rules, and overthrow the old order. Therefore, they still needed to be patient and accumulate strength.
During this period, many Dharma bodies from all over the world entered the Nine Heavens to explore the Jade Pool, fighting and battling each other, often destroying mountains and rivers. Because they were not in the real world, they did not affect the masses of sentient beings.
Cao Ya returned to Shaolin Temple, created a clone, and stayed in the Southern Wilderness to maintain the existence of the "Nine Perfect Warriors".
Although he does not possess the power of a celestial being, he is no match for an ordinary celestial being, and even against an earth celestial being, it is hard to say who will win.
While many Dharma Bodies explored the Nine Heavens, Cao Ya remained in the Central Plains, suppressing local order. He was originally cultivating diligently in the Zen Temple, comprehending reincarnation, and helping the Reincarnation Seal to erase the mark of the Demon Buddha, but suddenly he sensed something. His divine sense swept across and saw Han Guang appear outside the Xuan Tian Sect.
Han Guang seemed to have also noticed Cao Ya's divine sense, but he did not respond and remained silent, directly entering the Xuan Tian Sect's mountain gate.
The vast Xuantian Sect failed to discover Han Guang at all.
The Xuantian Sect established itself by relying on the Time Blade. Although it has produced many powerful masters, this generation is unable to take charge.
Even if a Grandmaster of the Outer Realm is incredibly powerful, what does he amount to in Han Guang's eyes?
However, Han Guang had no intention of taking action against the Xuantian Sect.
Cao Ya had no intention of taking action against Han Guang.
He knew what Han Guang was going to do and was eager to see Han Guang's stunned expression.
His main concern was that he might anger the Heavenly Emperor who was slumbering within the Time Blade.
Han Guang cultivated the "Heavenly Emperor's Jade Book" and came to the Xuantian Sect to take away the peerless divine weapon that the Heavenly Emperor transformed into after his death—the Time Blade.
Cao Ya knew that the Heavenly Emperor was secretly watching Han Guang, a man of exceptional talent, and regarded him as a pawn.
If he kills Han Guang, he will anger the Heavenly Emperor, and the Time Blade will strike, which the Reincarnation Seal might not be able to withstand.
The Time Blade can't be held back by the Demon Buddha's Mark.
Moreover, the one who wielded the Time Blade was the Heavenly Emperor, a being from the Other Shore who had not yet died, while Cao Ya was merely a Celestial Immortal.
How can it compare?
As expected, Han Guang arrived at the back hall of the Xuantian Sect where the Time Blade was enshrined. He waved his hand to stop the Xuantian Sect's guards, his gaze sweeping over the majestic and sacred statue of the Heavenly Emperor, and looking directly at the green box on the altar in front of the statue.
Inside the box was a divine sword, its luster warm and smooth, carved from celestial jade. Its light was subdued, faintly revealing a hazy, timeless quality.
Time's Blade!
