Jiang Feng led his men in a mighty procession back to the Qingyun Sect. By this time, the Qingyun Sect had become the undisputed world's foremost sect, boasting over thirty top-tier masters who had reached the Great Perfection stage. Furthermore, since the beastmen joined, they had worked together to meticulously deploy a formidable killing array around the Qingyun Sect in preparation for the impending, thrilling battle with the immortals.
After years of training and refinement, Jiang Feng had now successfully entered the late stage of fusion. Even facing the Human Emperor, he showed no fear. However, he knew that the enemy he would face next was a supreme immortal. Although Fan Xing speculated that the opponent might only be at the level of a True Immortal, Jiang Feng decided to make full use of this precious time to fully enhance his cultivation, just in case of any unexpected situation. Without hesitation, he flashed and disappeared into the mysterious chaotic space!
At the same moment, shocking news swept across the entire Kyushu continent like a storm. It turned out to be the renowned Demon King of the Demon Realm, issuing an invitation, sincerely inviting heroes from all corners of the world to participate in the grand opening ceremony of an ancient miracle. According to the Demon King, to successfully enter this mysterious miracle, one must present a crucial treasure map. Currently, their Demon Realm possessed two of these maps, but to truly unlock the miracle, a total of nine maps were required.
As soon as this news broke, it was like a stone igniting a thousand waves, instantly causing a huge uproar among the major sects, and everyone was in a state of excitement. Sects and schools began to secretly plot, sending elite disciples to explore the whereabouts of other treasure maps, or actively contacting other forces to seek cooperation and alliances. Suddenly, the entire Kyushu continent was in turmoil, and a fierce battle for the ancient and miraculous treasure map seemed inevitable. Based on the appearance of the treasure map circulated in the Demon Realm, all cultivators speculated about the whereabouts of the remaining treasure maps!
At this moment, Jiang Feng, leading many like-minded people, resolutely stepped into the mysterious chaotic space. They were going all out for the final sprint. Because Jiang Feng knew very well that it was less than a hundred years before the immortals descended to the mortal world. Time was as tight as a burning fuse, and there was no room for slackness.
Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye. During this long period, everyone in the Qingyun Sect focused solely on improving their cultivation. During this period, due to the Qingyun Sect's reputation and profound heritage, it attracted many independent cultivators from outside the sect, who chose to join the sect. They worked together to resist the powerful Jiuzhou Dynasty.
Bai Qingcang stood quietly beside the crystal-clear, spiritually rich spring in the back mountains. A look of relief crossed his weathered face, and he gazed tenderly at the young disciples who were deeply cultivating in the spring. However, deep in his eyes, as deep as the sea, a hint of sadness was faintly revealed.
Just then, the sound of light footsteps approached from afar. It was Xiao Qingfang approaching. She parted her red lips and asked softly, "Master, I wonder what you're thinking about right now? Why do you look so worried?"
Bai Qingcang turned his head slowly, a faint smile emerged on his slightly tired face, and he replied softly: "Thinking back to the past years, when my master was still alive, the entire Qingyun Sect was so powerful that forces from all directions came to pay homage. At that time, the master was invincible in the world, and no one could compete with him. It's a pity that since the master ascended to heaven, my senior sister and I have been practicing hard day and night, determined to revive the former glory of the Qingyun Sect. However, our strength is limited, and we have never been able to achieve our wish. Especially after the successful ascension of my senior sister, the Qingyun Sect fell into a precarious situation and was almost destroyed in my hands. Fortunately, God did not destroy our Qingyun Sect. At the critical moment, my junior brother Jiang Feng turned out to turn the tide, otherwise I would really have no face to face the master..." At this point, Bai Qingcang couldn't help but sigh slightly, and the voice seemed to carry too many heavy pasts.
Xiao Qingfang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yes, as the leader of Qingyun Sect, I am really unworthy of my master's careful cultivation and earnest expectations of me." A trace of self-blame and helplessness appeared on her beautiful face.
Bai Qingcang, who was standing aside, immediately said, "Qingfang, if we can luckily survive this crisis, then I'm afraid I will have to leave here and ascend to the fairyland to find your master. By then, this huge Qingyun Sect will have to rely on you to take charge of the overall situation!" He looked at Xiao Qingfang firmly, his eyes full of trust and expectation.
Xiao Qingfang had actually considered this for a long time. She knew full well that she carried the hopes of countless fellow disciples and the entire Qingyun Sect. Decades had passed since Senior Jiang Feng began his retreat, and during that time, the Qingyun Sect had undergone tremendous changes.
Let's start with Bai Qingcang. After years of dedicated practice, he's already achieved the state of Great Perfection. Great Elder Qiyue is no exception, his cultivation increasingly profound. The enigmatic Old Man Tianji and Wang Taiyi, who manages the Treasure Pavilion, have also reached this remarkable state. The others are no less impressive, with most cultivating their techniques to the late Great Perfection stage. Even Fatty Qiu, whose usual behavior is somewhat erratic, has now transformed himself into a Grand Perfection expert. Then there are Zhang Daoxuan, Zhuang Muhan, and other talented individuals. Through their tireless efforts, they have all broken through to the Fusion Stage, gradually becoming the backbone of the Qingyun Sect.
It's particularly noteworthy that several outstanding disciples in the Sword King Hall have even successfully broken through to the second form of the Nine Hua Sword Art—Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One! This achievement is truly astonishing, propelling their attainments in the Dao of the Sword to a new level, making them the new generation of leading figures in the Qingyun Sect.
As the two chatted casually, a terrifying aura suddenly surged from the Qingyun Sect's Jiang Feng residence. Then, thick, dark clouds gathered rapidly in that direction, as if stirred by an invisible hand. Accompanied by deafening thunder, the entire sky seemed to be torn apart.
