Chapter 222

"That's right, I saw it with my own eyes."

Hua An said; he had discovered Qin Jiang's arrival through the Sect Master Token from the very beginning.

After all, Qin Jiang did not possess the unique aura of a Changsheng Sword Sect disciple, which naturally triggered some defensive mechanisms.

He had originally intended to go over directly, but when he felt Qin Jiang's aura, he detected a hint of an obscure, dangerous aura.

So he did not go over directly, and then he discovered Qin Jiang's monstrous nature.

The Black and White Jianzu fell silent upon hearing this, his aura somewhat chaotic; it was only after taking several deep breaths that he calmed down.

He did not think of himself as the supreme talent of the sword dao, but he truly had not thought that anyone could have such high talent in the sword dao.

Perhaps even that Qingyun Sword Master of the Qingyun Sacred Land did not have this level of sword dao talent.

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. For the moment, let's think about how to deal with this Immortal Ascension Tribulation. With Elder Qin's strength, he will definitely not be able to survive this Immortal Ascension Tribulation that is comparable to the Saint Lord level.

Elder Qin is an unworldly supreme talent of the Lingxuan Sacred Domain; we cannot let him have an accident in our Sword Sect."

As he spoke, Hua An looked at the Third Elder, "Third Elder, take the Fifth Elder, Seventh Elder, Eighth Elder, and Eleventh Elder to activate the Sect-Protecting Immortal Array.

As for the other elders, lead the various Hall Masters to send our sect disciples out. The scope of this Immortal Tribulation might be very large; you must send them far away."

After saying this, he looked at the tribulation clouds in the sky, which were still accumulating power.

"There isn't much time left; half a quarter of an hour, we only have half a quarter of an hour, be quick!"

"As the Sect Master commands!" x14 After the elders left, the Black and White Jianzu looked at Hua An, "The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is not easy to interfere with.

Since ancient times, there has never been an Immortal Ascension Tribulation comparable to the Saint Lord level; no one can be sure if any accidents will occur.

Moreover, with our strength, can we block an immortal tribulation of this level? If I had become a Saint Lord, there might have been a chance."

Even if the Sect-Protecting Immortal Array were activated, it could at most block this immortal tribulation for half an hour.

But this immortal tribulation, where does it look like it will end in half an hour?

I don't know what this Elder Qin did to be targeted like this.

"Even if we can't block it, we must try! This immortal tribulation has already reached this point; even without Elder Qin, could we let this immortal tribulation destroy Changsheng Valley?"

Hua An spoke; even if they couldn't block it, they had to at least hold on until all the sect disciples had evacuated.

Moreover, his gaze fell on the peach tree in the courtyard.

He always felt that this peach tree might not be as simple as it looked... Well, actually, he couldn't see through this peach tree either.

But precisely because of this, he felt that perhaps this peach tree would become a turning point.

That green light faintly resembled a peach branch; after it fell, a peach tree appeared here. If someone told him it had nothing to do with it, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death!

And the residual power of an Immortal King might really be able to block this Saint Lord-level immortal tribulation, right? Even if it couldn't block it, at least he had done his best.

The Black and White Jianzu shrugged helplessly, his body suddenly becoming relaxed, and his expression becoming lazy, "I'm afraid it's very difficult to block; even if we don't die, we'll have to shed a few layers of skin."

Hua An couldn't help but smile when he saw the Black and White Jianzu like this, "That's why I only left you and me here to face this immortal tribulation directly."

As he spoke, he gently stroked the sword edge, faint electric arcs spilling out and making a "zizzing" sound.

"Actually, this is also a chance for you and me to achieve the Dao. After becoming a Jianzu, you no longer have the sharpness of the days when you questioned the five domains with your sword. I am the same; I am no longer the Magnetic Storm Sword of those years."

The Black and White Jianzu twisted his neck upon hearing this and raised his hand in a beckoning gesture; the black and white stone sword standing at the mountain gate in the distance slowly rose.

Cracks appeared on the stone shell, which then fell off with a rustle, revealing the black and white sword blade inside. "Whoosh!"

The black and white sword tore through the sky and landed in the Black and White Jianzu's hand; the inscription near the hilt was no longer "Changsheng" (Longevity), but "Black and White."

Hua An looked at the black and white sword and pointed at the Black and White Jianzu, his anger seemingly at a loss, "You! You! You Long Heibai! You are betraying your master and destroying your ancestors! Turning the Changsheng Sword into this ghostly state!"

The Black and White Jianzu curled his lips, "Unlike you old thing, you have to drag me along when you're looking for death."

"Hey~ don't talk nonsense! According to seniority, you are my little martial uncle."

"Go to hell with your little martial uncle; you remember now? When you were chasing me with a sword to hack me back then, why didn't you remember that I was your little martial uncle?"

"You say that, but wasn't I helping you comprehend the true meaning of the sword dao?"

Above the Eastern Domain, several gazes were cast toward the Changsheng Sword Sect, carrying a sense of prying.

Heavenly Mystery Sacred Land, Heavenly Mystery Hall.

A Daoist wearing a yellow Eight Trigrams robe held a compass in his hand, releasing the might of an End-Realm Saint Lord.

He looked toward the direction of the Changsheng Sword Sect, his eyes filled with confusion.

A Saint Lord-level heavenly tribulation? Is that Black and White Jianzu about to step into the Saint Lord Great Realm? But I have never heard that one needs to undergo a tribulation to achieve the Saint Lord level, and this hexagram... Qingyun Sacred Land, at the highest point of Qingyun Peak, a Daoist in green robes carried a three-foot green peak on his back, a smile on his face.

"Is it the Black and White Jianzu? After thirty thousand years, another Sword Dao Saint Lord has finally appeared."

Linglong Dao Land, on the Star Gazing Pavilion, the Linglong Immortal Monarch, dressed in a gauze skirt, had brilliant eyes that seemed to have starlight flickering within them.

It's the Changsheng Sword Sect again; should I go over and take a look?

She raised her hand slightly, and a square mirror surface the height of a person appeared, but it did not reflect her figure, instead showing a gray, hazy expanse.

A moment later, she sighed slightly, "An eventful autumn."

The mirror surface shattered, and she flicked her finger again; a profound rune appeared, and a moment later, the rune trembled slightly and turned into a vortex.

"Linglong, what is the matter with you looking for me?"

A cold, female voice came from the vortex; the mere vibration of the voice caused cracks to appear in the surrounding space, which were then frozen by a layer of crystalline ice.

"Taiyin, that Nine Luminaries Star Core belongs to you; I need you to help me do one thing."

Changsheng Sword Sect, rumbling thunder shook the heavens and earth, and lightning like wild pythons darted through the tribulation clouds, appearing exceptionally violent.

Inside Changsheng Valley, the Magnetic Storm Sword Immortal Hua An was wrapped in lightning, bound by invisible magnetic force to form ring-like halos; there were ten in total, though the tenth appeared somewhat illusory.

"The tribulation lightning has awakened; these thunderbolts already have some self-will." He looked at the sea of tribulation lightning, his eyes full of wariness.

Seeing this kind of legendary heaven and earth might appear before one's eyes still made one feel awe.

"Hmph, they are just some instincts approaching will; so what if it's a Saint Lord-level lightning creature? I will slash it with one sword!"

The Black and White Jianzu said indifferently; his sword dao was to press ever forward, and he would slash whoever blocked his path.

"Don't say 'so what', there really are lightning creatures appearing."

Hua An gripped the longsword in his hand tightly, his gaze piercing through the tribulation clouds to see the several humanoid lightning figures standing quietly in the depths of the tribulation clouds.

These were true Saint Lord-level existences comparable to Sacred Land Masters!
