Chapter 1099

Shuo Yang Canghai Tianjun arrived with a single move that instantly killed, easily breaking the attack of Dong Xue Jiang Canghai Tianjun, who hailed from the Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain of the True Sect in the Upper Realm. Whether it was the curse or the rotting palm imbued with immense power, both were instantly pierced by golden threads and swallowed clean.

Shen Xiao Canghai Tianjun and Dong Xue Jiang Canghai Tianjun fell silent.

Both of them felt their mouths dry and their throats parched.

In vain did the two of them, who claimed to be true cultivators of the Upper Realm and top-tier Soul Transformation experts of their sects, find that upon arriving in this Small Realm, everything seemed chaotic. Any individual Soul Transformation cultivator they happened to meet possessed strength far exceeding their own; had they encountered such a person alone in the outside world, they would surely have died within a short time.

"... Daoist Friend, I have yet to ask for your name?"

Shen Xiao Canghai Tianjun's voice was somewhat hoarse as he spoke.

He still used the title "Daoist Friend," but now it no longer carried an implicit sense of superiority or a feigned attitude of humility; it was far more sincere, coming from the heart.

"Venerable One, this humble cultivator is named 'Shuo Yang'; it is not worth mentioning."

Shuo Yang Canghai Tianjun said humbly.

"Daoist Friend Shuo Yang,"

"Are you the Shuo Yang... Canghai Tianjun spoken of by that person?"

Shen Xiao Canghai Tianjun asked in shock and suspicion.

'That good-for-nothing Shuo Yang Canghai Tianjun.'

Those were the exact words of the youth in green robes; at that time, he had thought this was an insignificant figure and had paid him no mind.

But now it seemed that a cultivator who could face a Fourth Realm Immortal Sword Cultivator and still survive truly should not be underestimated.

Perhaps these three had all failed in the war to contend for the Lord of the Realm against the Fourth Realm Sword Cultivator.

Although they had failed,

the fact that they could contend with a Fourth Realm Sword Cultivator rather than immediately submit, and even manage to flee, already placed them beyond ninety-nine percent of Soul Transformation cultivators in the world.

"I am merely a stray dog with no home."

Shuo Yang Canghai Tianjun smiled bitterly, harboring no thoughts of pride.

He had once been an invincible ruler of a realm, and indeed, he became invincible the moment he advanced to the Soul Transformation stage, driving out or killing all other Soul Transformation cultivators within the realm, then making the realm his home, with his bloodline and descendants spread throughout the world, possessing his own pride.

He believed that the reason he was inferior to the Great Sun Sword Disciple in his complete form was at least ninety percent due to inheritance, not because his talent or genius was inferior to others.

This might well be the truth.

"Daoist Friend Shuo Yang is truly remarkable..."

Shen Xiao Canghai Tianjun sighed.

In terms of strength, the bearded cultivator before him undoubtedly surpassed himself; therefore, he abandoned his plan to directly use the Slave Seal to search the soul and tested the waters: "Daoist Friend, would you be willing to accept the talisman of patronage from the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect?"

"In this way, Daoist Friend could join our sect, become one of our own, ascend to the Upper Realm, and perhaps obtain opportunities for Refining Void, scriptures for Refining Void, and so on."

He immediately promised things that would make any Soul Transformation cultivator envious.

This talisman of patronage also

was explained within his spiritual sense in a somewhat euphemistic manner, but it was actually a superior talisman of the Slave Seal, holding a much higher status, yet still controlled life and death by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect; however, this control authority did not lie in the hands of Soul Transformation cultivators, so it could barely allow for equal interaction with the Soul Transformation cultivators of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sect.

Since this concerned Immortal Arts, only this method could ensure absolute secrecy and obtain the most accurate intelligence.

"Venerable One, I am unwilling."

Shuo Yang Canghai Tianjun's posture was humble to the extreme, but his words were direct and straightforward.

Even though the other party had promised him the Refining Void scriptures that made his heart race, as well as opportunities like ascending to the Upper Realm.

Shen Xiao Canghai Tianjun narrowed his eyes.

Dong Xue Jiang Canghai Tianjun also stared at this lower-realm cultivator who was both extremely humble and extremely bold.

Elsewhere, if a lower-realm cultivator had been so rude, they would have killed him long ago.

But here...

The two Tianjuns of the Upper Realm suspected that if they had not brought the Dao Soldiers of their sect, this extremely humble bearded cultivator would have already revealed his ferocious face and turned around to kill them.

"Daoist Friend Shuo Yang,"

"Could you tell me who that youth in green robes is? Where is he from? I will certainly offer a heavy reward."

Shen Xiao Canghai Tianjun smiled and no longer mentioned the matter of accepting the talisman.

"I humbly obey the Venerable One's command."

Shuo Yang Canghai Tianjun said respectfully: "Venerable One, do not be deceived by that brat Tushan; this child is not from some great sect of the Upper Realm at all. He is a cultivator native to this realm, born in a mortal kingdom named Yue in the Northern Plains. His parents were both mortals, and he has absolutely no background."

"The reason this person's strength is so great is entirely because he obtained a shocking extraordinary encounter and received an inheritance of Immortal Arts!"

This was the response they had already discussed.

Regardless of whether Jiang Ding Zi had any background or origin, he must have none!

In fact, after the Inheritance Envoy of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion returned to his position, the Art of Causality Concealment spread out, making Canghai Tianjun Tushan a Soul Transformation cultivator of native origin, even in the subconscious of Ming Chong Guang Zi.

In a certain sense, what Shuo Yang Canghai Tianjun said was the truth.

"That person is just a native?"

Shen Xiao Canghai Tianjun and Dong Xue Jiang Canghai Tianjun were stunned, finding it hard to believe.

This went beyond their common sense.

Cultivators of the Small Realm truly lacked the soil to produce such a heavenly genius; the conditions in every aspect were not met.

But upon hearing of the extraordinary encounter involving Immortal Arts, they hesitated again.

Immortal Arts!

This is Immortal Arts!

Turning the rotten into the miraculous, what is so strange about that?

"He must be a native without doubt!"

"This person was born in the same era as I; how could I not know?"

Shuo Yang Canghai Tianjun declared firmly: "The two of us had an extraordinary encounter within a Secret Realm

"Damnable that old thief of Master Tushan, he seized the greater part of the immortal art inheritance, leaving us only a few scraps, and in the end we were driven out of the Minor Thousand Worlds, our families and clans all perished."

"We beg the Honored One to render justice for us!"

This was undoubtedly an admission of the fact that he possessed part of the immortal art inheritance.

"Immortal arts…"

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun and the Blood Zombie Canghai Tianjun unconsciously revealed greedy expressions.

All of this seemed to explain why this Minor Thousand Worlds produced so many powerful experts, and why even a random Soul Transformation cultivator was so terrifying.

The immortal art inheritance!

"Honored One!"

Master Shuoyang Canghai Tianjun sensed their greed and said deferentially, "We beg the Honored One to bestow the method of ascending to the Upper Realm. We are willing to offer the immortal art inheritance to the Honored One, and even more willing to serve the Honored One loyally for all eternity."

"If we violate this, may the three of us brothers be struck down by heaven and earth!"

He swore an oath pointing to the heavens.

"Easy, easy."

"Once this poor Daoist finishes the sect's matters, taking the three fellow Daoists along is merely on the way."

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun's face was wreathed in smiles: "The only thing to worry about is that Master Tushan."

"Would the three fellow Daoists be willing to serve as the vanguard, helping me slay the thief? Afterward, this poor Daoist will surely petition the Old Ancestor on the three fellow Daoists' behalf for merit. When that time comes, Void Refinement scriptures and Void Refinement opportunities will be but trivialities — you and I are all fellow Daoists of one sect, no distinction between us."

No response.

The three Canghai Tianjun furrowed their brows.

Silence for a moment.

"Master Canghai, Blood Zombie."

"You two foolish pigs and dogs."

Chong Chong Guang Zi spoke up, opening his mouth coldly: "These childish tricks, don't parade them before me. Give me the method to ascend to the Upper Realm, or there's nothing to discuss."

"One day, I will surely slaughter your entire sect, not even a chicken or dog spared!"

"Will you give it or not?"

After confirming the other's strength, he instantly tore off his deferential exterior.

"You seek death…"

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun and the Blood Zombie Canghai Tianjun flew into a violent rage.

Clang!

A ringing sword hum blossomed forth.

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun and the other changed color again, their rebuking words halting abruptly.

The Indestructible Sword Intent!

The Indestructible Sword Intent again!

A sword cultivator of the Indestructible Sword Intent, rarely seen once in several thousand years even in the Upper Realm, appearing one after another today!

What has happened to this world?

Could the immortal art inheritance be the art of Sword Immortals?
