Chapter 1319: What Is the True Identity of Qi Chun Jing?

The main star, once prosperous like brocade, had become desolate, and everyone felt endangered.

Only the giant stone statue of the Spirit Martial Emperor remained towering, emitting Divine Light that shone in all directions; the places bathed in its light became the sole pure land.

On the main star, numerous powerful beings began to mournfully discuss.

"If this continues, the main star will surely fall sooner or later!"

"Yes! The strongest demon tribe of the Yao Tian Yuan, the Jiao Long Clan, has actually betrayed Lord Lu Zun and the Spirit Martial Emperor; now, under the orders of the Guile Hall and Gu Yue Laozi, they plunder the Star Sea of our Weiyang Heaven—behaving like beasts!"

"Weiyang Heaven is now divided into three parts, but at this rate, even this fragmented portion will split apart!"

Someone spotted Qi Chun Jing, recognized him, and all said:

"This is that scholar, Qi Chun Jing, who was once gifted books by Lord Lu Zun."

"What a pity! If Lord Lu Zun and the Spirit Martial Emperor were still here, Weiyang Heaven could still be called a golden age; in a golden age one could study, cultivate oneself, and nurture one's nature, and an aura of vast righteousness would earn everyone's respect—but now, in this chaotic age of slaughter, vast righteousness cannot slay the enemy!"

"In this chaotic age, who can turn the tide? The Long River Sword Sect, once a main pillar of our Weiyang Army, has been blocked by that scoundrel Yunlan Potian into Yunlan Heaven. Now the Nine Star Dao Void Realm experts of our Weiyang Heaven keep falling, with no one to uphold the situation!"

"..."

Voices streamed into Qi Chun Jing's ears; his gaze shifted, gradually giving rise to a hint of fervent hope.

Now the world teeters on collapse—who can turn the tide?

He first conceived the idea of taking up the martial path!

After returning to the pavilion, he glanced at the Book of Songs and the Book of Rites, but had no mind to study.

He gently picked up a jujube leaf and murmured, "To plant a tree, the best time was ten years ago; the next best is now! Taking up the martial way is the same!"

He had already given rise to the heart to take up the martial way!

Now he would begin cultivating!

In the next instant, that jujube leaf suddenly burst forth with heavenly Divine Light, and a ray of brilliance entered Qi Chun Jing's mind.

"Hiss!"

Vast Dao Resonance surged, and numerous great Dao arose together in his heart.

It seemed that if he wished, he could immediately become a mighty figure of a region.

Qi Chun Jing chose the Blade Dao!

"Shrie!"

Qi Chun Jing began his transformation.

After a night of sudden enlightenment, he stepped into the Nine Star Dao Void Realm!

The next day, Qi Chun Jing slowly opened his eyes; the jujube leaf remained tucked in the Book of Songs, but seemed to have become utterly ordinary.

A glimmer of understanding arose in his eyes: "This is an opportunity left for me by Lord Lu Zun."

In the next instant, he no longer concealed himself; the Blade Resonance on his body surged wildly, and terrifying Blade Qi shot straight into the heavens, stirring up towering waves upon the main star.

Numerous powerful divine senses swept toward Qi Chun Jing to investigate, leaving them stunned in place.

"What? This isn't that scholar Qi Chun Jing, is it?"

"How did his Vast Righteousness Qi disappear, replaced by terrifying Blade Dao?"

"Qi Chun Jing gained sudden enlightenment overnight! Good heavens! Good heavens!"

"This is too heaven-defying! Our Weiyang Heaven has given birth to a new Nine Star Dao Void Realm expert!"

"..."

All the powerful beings felt tremendous shock and bowed in submission.

"Please, Master Qi, act to save our Weiyang Heaven! The Jiao Long Clan now runs rampant in our Weiyang Heaven; within days they will surely storm the main star!"

"They proclaim they will invade the main star and seize the treasures in His Majesty's imperial palace!"

Qi Chun Jing's gaze turned to the distant Star Sea, where battle fires still raged, terrifying offensive divine splendor flaring bright then fading.

He slowly said, "From now on, I, Qi Chun Jing, will bear the peril of Weiyang Heaven on my own shoulders!"

The crowd shouted "Master Qi!"

Qi Chun Jing looked at the many powerful beings and said, "I currently lack a long blade."

"The Ye Clan presents a Nine Star Dao Void Rank long blade!"

"The Sun Clan offers one hundred thousand catties of Stellar Meteorite Iron!"

"The Li Clan offers……"

"Thank you all!" Qi Chun Jing did not refuse; he took the long blade into his hand, instantly refined it, then forged numerous stellar treasures into the blade, beginning to temper the long blade.

"Clang—clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere!

A brand‑new old blade emerged, its surface filled with a solemn killing aura.

"Master Qi, this blade is too dull; it still needs a master artificer to forge it!" a high‑star Dao Void Realm expert shouted.

Qi Chun Jing calmly replied, "Time waits for no one; let this blade transform in battle!"

He directly stepped into the void, intending to rush toward the distant Jiao Long Clan to attack.

Behind him, numerous Dao Void Realm experts followed closely!

Soon, Qi Chun Jing slew his way into the battlefield.

Here, many experts of the Jiao Long Clan were plundering the Star Sea.

"Boom!"

Qi Chun Jing tore through the void and descended.

Numerous Jiao Long Clan experts laughed loudly, "Isn't that the idiot scholar of Weiyang Heaven? Reading dead books, studying to death, books killing you…… Who would have thought he actually stepped into the Nine Star Dao Void Realm?"

Many jeering voices rose.

No one looked down on Qi Chun Jing!

It's only because the Jiaolong clan here already has several Nine-Star Dao Void Realm cultivators.

Moreover, Qi Chun Jing, who is known as a 'scholar,' suddenly entered the Nine-Star Dao Void Realm, likely making his realm insubstantial and his combat power weak.

Qi Chun Jing stroked the old blade in his hand and calmly said, "Today I will let your Jiaolong blood and qi sharpen my long blade! After killing you, I will plunge this blade into your Li Zhu Star Sea, exterminating the entire Jiaolong clan!"

Upon hearing this, many Jiaolong clan members burst out laughing.

"Laughing to death! Qi Chun Jing has read himself stupid!"

"Our Jiaolong clan has already killed several Nine-Star Dao Void Realm experts of your Yong'an Army!"

"I see you've just entered the Nine-Star Dao Void Realm, right? Coming here with an unsharpened long blade? You're asking for death!"

But in the next instant, many Jiaolong clan members were dumbfounded.

Qi Chun Jing swung his blade.

"Swish!"

A Nine-Star Dao Void Realm Jiaolong was beheaded instantly, blood spraying!

Its Jiaolong blood and qi power flowed directly into the long blade, sharpening it!

Next, Qi Chun Jing's divine might was invincible; with one slash he was unbeatable among peers!

Thus, Qi Chun Jing became famous in a single battle!

After an overnight epiphany, he went from scholar to blade dao expert, nearly becoming a legend!

It was also then that Commander Zhang Liao and others pledged allegiance to Qi Chun Jing!

After fighting for several years in Yong'an Heaven, Qi Chun Jing began to revive those dimmed battle patterns, restarting the Stellar War.

After the Jiaolong clan of Yong'an Heaven was completely wiped out, Qi Chun Jing had already stepped into the Half-Step Dao Lord Realm, leading the Yong'an Army into the Demon Heaven Wilds!

Within a day, he slaughtered the Jiaolong clan!

Even the Jiaolong clan's supreme ancestor, a Half-Step Dao Lord Realm great demon, was slain by Qi Chun Jing; its endless blood and qi merged into the long blade, forging it into the Long Blade Li Zhu.

The remaining Jiaolong clan was no longer a threat; Qi Chun Jing sealed the Li Zhu Star Sea, deterring all directions.

Thus, Qi Chun Jing stabilized the ruined domain of Yong'an Heaven.

……

Seeing this scene, countless Yong'an Army soldiers' eyes turned red, and they all shed tears.

Commander Zhang Liao and others also recalled past events.

Not bad.

Indeed, it was General Qi who turned the tide and restored Yong'an Heaven!

But who would have thought, all this was also Lu Zun's layout?

Just then.

Qi Chun Jing suddenly rubbed his head, a fragmentary memory surged into his mind, and he murmured, "Small town, academy, little girl, Ning Chang'an..."

……
