Chapter 1018: Imminent

It turned out that after Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude's group escaped from Buried Immortal Valley back then, they immediately led everyone to go into hiding again, retreating deep into the mountains and staying far away!

Afterwards, other Immortal experts from the other desolate lands finally stepped into Buried Immortal Valley again, discovered that something had gone wrong there, and actually found a few survivors, learning the full truth of the matter.

Thus, they chased everywhere for the whereabouts of the Zha Tian Bang members, wanting revenge!

Fortunately, Duan Jiude was wise enough; he actually managed to find a hidden hiding place, abundant in Spiritual Energy, capable of supporting everyone's cultivation!

But those Zha Tian Bang Members who hadn't managed to regroup were continuously suffering persecution from the Three Great Academies outside!

At that time, among the group, only Duan Jiude had reached Great Vehicle Period First Layer, counting as the existence with the most hope of breaking through to the Half-Immortal Realm; everyone pinned their hopes on him, wanting him to enter the Half-Immortal Realm as soon as possible to lead everyone back, kill their way through, and rescue the other Gang Members and Xu Que.

Unfortunately, Duan Jiude's cultivation speed was too slow; under the circumstances where various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were lacking, Duan Jiude found it difficult to break through, and even dared not cultivate openly, after all, when cultivating at the Great Vehicle Stage, the commotion of absorbing Spiritual Energy would be very large, and they were all terrified of attracting the experts of the Three Great Academies!

It can be said that at that time, they were almost ready to give up, even feeling that they needed to stay in that hidden place for hundreds or even thousands of years!

However, only seven years passed before the Creation Jade Disc belonging to Jiang Hongyan stirred.

On a bright morning, the Creation Jade Disc radiated a brilliant Golden Beam, shooting up to the sky; the firmament reflected rosy light, as if blessings descended from heaven, or as if a Strange Treasure had emerged!

At that moment, everyone was terrified, packing their things and preparing to flee, but before they could even run, the remaining experts of the Three Great Academies arrived!

But once they arrived, it was destined that they could not return!

Jiang Hongyan leaped out from the Creation Jade Disc, appearing out of nowhere like a monarch of a generation, suppressing the crowd with overwhelming force!

She fought ten against one, borrowing the Creation Jade Disc, and ruthlessly killed more than ten experts of the Three Great Academies.

And at that time, she was merely at the Great Ascension Stage Perfect, not yet a true Half-Immortal!

"What happened next?"

While Xu Que was shocked, after digesting these events, he looked at Chen Zhen again and asked.

His heart was also deeply puzzled; although Jiang Hongyan possessed strong talent and extraordinary Fate, it was impossible for her to reach the Mahayana Stage Peak within seven years; this speed was truly monstrous.

"Eh? The Creation Jade Disc? You just mentioned the Creation Jade Disc?"

At this moment, the Sword Spirit suddenly leaped out from the Broken Sword, transforming into a ball of Black Fog, its tone somewhat excited and shocked.

"Ah!" Chen Zhen was startled on the spot, almost jumping out of his chair.

"Old Chen, it's nothing, nothing, don't be afraid, we are all on the same side!"

Xu Que immediately waved his hand, then looked at the Sword Spirit and asked, "What? You also know the Creation Jade Disc?"

"Of course I know; this object is a Divine Object, how could I not have heard of it?" the Sword Spirit nodded, saying, "Speaking of which, this object has some connection to the Time Shuttle you stole!"

"Oh?" Xu Que immediately became curious.

"Legend has it that the authentic Time Shuttle was composed of the Creation Jade Disc and another Divine Spindle; its full name should be the Creation Era Spindle, but later it was split apart, the Creation Jade Disc vanished without a trace, and the Divine Spindle also broke during that Great War..." The Sword Spirit paused suddenly as it spoke.

"Great War? Which Great War?" Xu Que raised an eyebrow and asked.

The Sword Spirit shook its head: "This matter cannot be mentioned, let's not talk about it for now! However, that Creation Jade Disc also possesses a bit of Divine Power from the Time Shuttle; if one can make it recognize its master, it is equivalent to obtaining a Small World; cultivating inside, time can be one for a hundred!"

"One for a hundred?" Xu Que was immediately startled.

So, if Jiang Hongyan and Xu Feifei cultivated for seven years, wouldn't that be equivalent to cultivating for seven hundred years inside the Creation Jade Disc!

My heavens, no wonder she could reach the Mahayana Stage Peak; this Creation is truly extraordinary!

"Correct, one for a hundred; this is far stronger than your fake copy! Truly strange, just what kind of person has such Fate to obtain the Creation Jade Disc!" The Sword Spirit's eyes revealed confusion, and by the end, it began to mutter to itself.

"Hehe, she is my woman, and moreover, she is a Luck Body, very powerful!" Xu Que immediately answered proudly.

"Luck Body? No wonder!" The Sword Spirit, hearing this, finally nodded in realization, then glanced at Xu Que again and began to shake its head.

Vaguely, Xu Que seemed to hear it muttering something like "a fresh flower planted on cow dung"!

However, at this moment, Xu Que was too lazy to argue with this Sword Spirit; he suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Zhen and asked, "What happened afterwards?"

"Ah? Oh right, right, afterwards..."

Chen Zhen was still in shock over the Sword Spirit; only now did he recover his senses and continued speaking, "Later, Madam Jiang heard of your matter, became furious on the spot, led us to fight our way out of that place, and returned to Eastern Wasteland Burial Valley of Immortals, but in the end, it was in vain; afterwards, she led us to rescue the remaining Zha Tian Bang Members, hunting down and killing every single person from the Three Great Academies!"

"Pfft, looks like she was truly angry!" Xu Que said with a smile.

Given Jiang Hongyan's personality, doing something so decisive and forceful must have been because she was truly angered by his matter; moreover, this matter was also related to the Three Great Academies, and the Three Great Academies even dared to hunt down the Zha Tian Bang Members, which caused her to unhesitatingly clean out all the Outsiders.

"Yes, we could see it; at that time, Madam Jiang was decisive in killing, that kind of aura of ruling the Kingdom, this subordinate still remembers it deeply; as many Gang Members said, we almost let Madam Jiang become the Gang Leader... uh, Vice Gang Leader Xu, this subordinate didn't mean that, please don't misunderstand!" As Chen Zhen spoke, he accidentally blurted out his true thoughts, his face instantly becoming embarrassed.

"No harm, continue speaking!" Xu Que didn't mind such things, waving his hand and smiling, after all, to be honest, he wasn't a qualified leader, nor did he like being a leader.

Moreover, judging the matter on its own merits, Jiang Hongyan was Heaven's Chosen to be a leader; she possessed that kind of temperament naturally, which many people could not compare to!

"Yes, after dealing with the people of the Three Great Academies, everyone was busy thinking of various methods to go and rescue you, the Gang Leader; unfortunately, that place was too strange; no matter what method was used, the Altar could not be opened; we even learned from the people of the Three Great Academies, dripping fresh blood onto the Altar, but that place still had no reaction!"

Chen Zhen continued speaking: "Until two years later, which was one year ago, an old man appeared on Xuanzhen Continent; he was actually a reclusive Great Ability, with cultivation reaching the Half-Immortal Realm; he traveled to the Four Continents, heard of this matter, and told us not to disturb Buried Immortal Valley, and not to foolishly dream of rescuing you; the only way was to go to Lin Xian Realm, where there are countless masters skilled in the Dao of Arrays, perhaps there is a glimmer of hope!"

"Reclusive Great Ability? So kind-hearted?" Xu Que immediately frowned; if there truly was a Half-Immortal Realm expert hiding on Xuanzhen Continent, Xu Que also didn't believe that person would have good intentions, coming over to remind them of such things!

"Vice Gang Leader Xu is wise; that Great Ability indeed had a purpose!" Chen Zhen quickly clasped his hands and smiled: "In fact, he discovered that Madam Jiang was about to undergo Tribulation, so he wanted to be taken back to Lin Xian Realm together with her once she successfully passed the Tribulation and the Ascension Passage opened; previously, others on Xuanzhen Continent had also ascended, but at that time he was in Closed-door Cultivation, arriving a step too late."

"Later, after Madam Jiang and Vice Gang Leader Er Gouzi and the others discussed it, they all agreed to go to Lin Xian Realm to find a method, so one year ago, Madam Jiang broke through to Great Ascension Stage Perfect, attracting a Heavenly Tribulation, opening the Ascension Passage, and taking many people to Lin Xian Realm. However, during the Tribulation, it seems Madam Jiang also sacrificed a Fruit; just that at the time the Lightning Tribulation was too fierce, this subordinate didn't clearly see what that object was!"

"I see!" Xu Que nodded, and his expression also became solemn.

The Fruit sacrificed by Jiang Hongyan must have been that Heavenly Luck Fruit obtained at Lian Yue Palace, completely perfecting the Luck Body into a Heavenly Luck Body!

However, what worried him was not this matter, but what kind of scene it would be after Jiang Hongyan and the others went to Lin Xian Realm.

After all, Lin Xian Realm is not like this realm; although Jiang Hongyan's strength could be Invincible among peers at the Half-Immortal Realm, Lin Xian Realm has not only the Half-Immortal Realm, but also the Human Immortal Realm and the Earth Immortal Realm!

The key is that she still carries a Creation Jade Disc; according to the Sword Spirit's words, that Creation Jade Disc is a Divine Object; once it appears and is recognized by others, it will inevitably cause a sensation; if Jiang Hongyan exposes it in Lin Xian Realm, she is afraid it will bring about death!

No, it seems this Saint must hurry to Lin Xian Realm as well; it is imminent!
