C1118 Backlash?
Ling Jian naturally knew that what Wan Zhenghao said was true. He nodded and all his preparations were relaxed. He let Wan Zhenghao carry the scabbard back into his sea of consciousness.
It all started fast, and then it ended. Ling Jian looked at the sky above his sea of consciousness.
Then he saw a sword sheath floating in the sky above his sea of consciousness. Endless light was shining from it. It lit up the entire sea of consciousness and turned into countless sword qi shadows.
In Ye Xiao's current Sea of Consciousness, even if there was sword qi, it wouldn't make it shine. However, now that he had the Ten Thousand Sea Sword Scabbard, the power of the sword qi seemed to show up.
"Alright. From now on, the name of this scabbard will be Sky-Destroying Scabbard. Remember it well."
The voice of the Ten Thousand Worlds came from the sword scabbard in his Sea of Consciousness.
Ling Jian nodded. Although he didn't know why the Ten Thousand Worlds had such a name, he could still hear the powerful and overbearing intent from the mouths of the Ten Thousand Worlds.
Although he didn't know exactly how powerful the Sword World of Ten Thousand Swords was, Ling Jian could feel that there must be a reason for all this.
Ling Jian could feel that not only was his sea of consciousness like a bottomless pit, but even the Sky Spirit Martial Palace was like a bottomless pit.
The sheath itself had the ability to absorb the energy of heaven and earth. Although most of the absorbed energy was absorbed by the sheath, there were only a few left in Ling Jian's body.
Although the remaining energy wouldn't help Ling Jian much in a short time, it would definitely bring him a huge gift in a long time.
"Hehe, Ling Jian, you should hurry up and leave. There should be a lot of people waiting for you outside."
Wanjie spoke with a smile. His voice was full of schadenfreude.
Once Ling Jian came out of seclusion, those waiting outside would know how terrifying he was.
Ling Jian laughed coldly when he heard that. He knew that there were a lot of cultivators coming to kill him.
For example, he had killed the top geniuses of the Yin Huan Sect and the Fire Country in the Dao Verification Meeting, and the two forces wouldn't just sit by and do nothing.
However, Ling Jian was much stronger than when he first entered the Heaven's Lake of Dao Verification.
Although he was still in the Heavenly Dao Realm, even a peak Saint wouldn't be able to hurt him.
Outside the Heaven Dao Confirming Lake.
The three elders from the Dao Confirming Villa were still sitting outside the stone door.
The three of them had their eyes closed. They looked like they were sleeping, but in fact, they were cultivating.
However, at this moment, there was suddenly a weak fluctuation of aura coming from beside them. At this moment, all three of their eyes were suddenly opened.
"Ling Jian."
The three of them from the Hall of Dao Verification all looked at Ling Jian, who was walking out from the pond. The sharp lights in their eyes became brighter and brighter.
However, when they noticed Ling Jian, their eyes were filled with astonishment.
They were just watching from a distance, yet they could feel a strong pressure from Ling Jian. It felt like Ling Jian was stronger than him.
"Half a year. Zeze, Ling Jian, you came out at noon."
One of the three experts from the Dao Verification Villa suddenly spoke.
Ling Jian nodded his head when he heard this. He then smiled at the three experts from the Dao Validation Villa and said, "Seniors, don't worry. I will remember everything that happened during this period of time. If the Dao Validation Villa faces any difficulties in the future... You can come and find me, Ling Jian. "
This time, Ling Jian had obtained a great opportunity in the Heavenly Pond of Dao Validation. Of course, it wasn't as simple as raising his cultivation level. It was the Heavenly Destroyed Sheath.
After saying that, Ling Jian didn't stay any longer. The spiritual wings on his back suddenly formed. - Shoot! - He disappeared in front of the three old men.
The three old men from the Hall of Dao Verification naturally did not know that the Heavenly Lake of Dao Verification had a lot to do with the scabbard. When they realized that Ling Jian had disappeared, their expressions changed and their pupils contracted.
"What speed!"
Shock and shock appeared in the eyes of the three elders from the Dao Validation Villa at this moment.
They could see that Ling Jian was only at the peak of the Grade of Tianyuan. However, they couldn't even see his speed.
The three of them had all reached the late stage of the Saint Level.
However, in terms of speed, they were much slower than Ling Jian.
"How can Ling Jian be so fast?"
The three of them looked at each other and saw a trace of shock in each other's eyes.
With Ling Jian's speed, he could be a threat to them in a fight.
Even though he couldn't be a fatal threat to them, Ling Jian was fast enough to be invincible.
"What a pity. Imperial Advisor Zhou of the Fire County is already here. If Ling Jian had come out of seclusion earlier, with his speed, he might have a chance at survival. But now that Imperial Advisor Zhou is outside, his speed won't be of much use."
An elder from the Dao Confirming Mountain Villa sighed and spoke.
To them, Ling Jian was indeed a rare genius of the Grand Middle Heaven, but unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time.
There were many late-stage Saints outside, and Imperial Advisor Zhou, who was at the peak of the Saint level, had arrived a few days ago.
One could imagine how terrifying the combined power of these people would be.
Not to mention that Ling Jian was at the peak of the Grade of Heavenly Dao, even though he had become a Saint Origin Stage cultivator, he wouldn't be able to escape from such a situation.
"Let's go. We should go out and have a look. Ling Jian is a rare genius after all. He might be able to make some trouble outside. Let's not miss it."
The three elders of the Dao Validation Villa had the same thought.
The next moment, the three of them made hand seals at the same time. They pointed in the air and aimed at the area where the Dao Validation Heavenly Lake was.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The heavy stone door also fell down from the sky and completely blocked the space of the Heavenly Lake of Dao Verification.
It was just that the three of them didn't know what was going on, and they didn't sense anything wrong, but in fact, the Heaven's Pool of Dao Verification had lost its use because it had lost its sheath.
Even if they closed the pond again today, it wouldn't be the same when it opened again.
In the Heaven Pool of Dao Verification.
The appearance of State Preceptor Zhou had made the entire Dao Verification Villa heated up.
In all of the Middle Sky, even the Duke of Fire, who had broken through to the Saint Spirit Realm, only had twenty-one Saint Spirit Realm cultivators, including the Blood Saint Spirit, who was the most powerful man in the Middle Sky.
Normally, these Sacred Spirit Realm cultivators wouldn't do anything.
Therefore, to a certain extent, cultivators at the peak stage of the Saint Origin Stage were already the strongest force in the entire Grand Mystery Realm.
The people who had participated in the Dao Verification Assembly earlier were all from the younger generation.
Therefore, even though all the major forces had sent experts to protect them, the strongest of these experts was only at the late stages of the Saint level.
Cultivators at the peak of the Saint Origin Stage were rarely seen even in the previous Righteous Dao Conference.
However, it was different this time. Not only the king of the Fire Country, but also those who had reached the Saint Spirit Realm had appeared. Now, after the king of the Fire Country left, Imperial Advisor Zhou, who had reached the peak of the Saint Spirit Realm, had come to the Dao Confirming Mountain Villa.
His purpose was to kill a cultivator who hadn't even reached the level of the Saint Level.
There were still some cultivators who were not happy about it, but nobody could do anything about it.
Even the leader of the Dao Verification Mountain didn't care about the arrival of State Preceptor Zhou. Apparently, the leader of the Dao Verification Mountain had accepted State Preceptor Zhou's arrival.
After all, the leader of the Dao Validation Mountain was only a powerful force in the Grand Middle Sky. There was still a gap between him and a powerful force like the Fire Country.
Besides, the Duke of Fire had truly become a Saint Spirit Stage cultivator. He had become the most powerful cultivator in the Middle Sky.
In fact, the leader of the Dao Validation Mountain, who was at the top of the Saint Origin Stage, was nothing.
At the moment, in a yard of the Dao Validation Mountain...
An old man who was also wearing a golden dragon robe suddenly opened his eyes.
There was an indescribable sharp light flashing in his eyes. When he turned his head, the sharp light was looking toward the back of the house.
"Is he finally out?"
The old man showed a cold smile. However, it looked a bit cold.
At the moment, he didn't stop after sensing the figure flying out from the back of the mountain. His figure flashed and he appeared in the sky above the Dao Verification Villa.
When this elder appeared in the sky above the Righteous Dao Mountain Villa, there were also a couple of figures who had been crippled below the Dao Verification Mountain Villa.
The ones leading them were naturally the old woman and City Lord Shao from the Fire Country. Behind them were the people from the Yin Huan Sect. After them were the late-stage Saints from the Lightning Sea Sect and the Corpse Sect.
"Greetings, State Preceptor Zhou!"
These cultivators did not choose to greet each other when they first appeared in the sky. Instead, they cupped their hands and bowed to the old man who had appeared before them to show their respect.
This elder was the Imperial Advisor Zhou that Duke Huo had sent out. His goal was to kill Ling Jian.
Imperial Advisor Zhou's cultivation had long since reached the peak of the Saint realm. However, he was ranked third in the entire Fire Country. Even so, he was still much stronger than the average late stage Saint.
At this moment, when Imperial Advisor Zhou heard the salutations of the crowd, he did not look at them for long. Instead, he simply waved his hand and ignored them.
The crowd didn't have any objections to Imperial Advisor Zhou's negligent actions.
"It has been half a year. This Ling Jian is finally going to show up."
"Heh, heh. So what? This day next year will be the day of his death."
"That's right. With Imperial Advisor Zhou here, Ling Jian is going to die."
Both the Fire County and the Yin Huan Sect were sneering at the moment.
City Lord Shao's eyes were filled with killing intent.
His son had been killed by Ling Jian in the Righteous Dao Conference. In his opinion, this conference should be a chance for Shao Chen to train.
However, he didn't expect that he would be killed by the spiritual sword here.
In the Fire County, Shao Chen was considered a genius. Although he was not as talented as the Fire County, he would have no problem inheriting Wang Wei's talent.
Now that he had come to the Dao Validation Villa, he was going to kill Ling Jian this time.
Only Ling Jian's death could comfort Shao Chen's soul in heaven.
At this moment, under the gazes of the crowd, a young figure finally appeared in the sky behind the mountain.
The gazes of these people were all gathered on this young figure at this moment. The killing intent in their eyes was unconcealed.
They didn't hold back their qi either. In an instant, they couldn't control it anymore.
When these people found Ling Jian, Ling Jian also found them. At this moment, even when facing these experts, Ling Jian's face didn't show any emotion.
The spiritual wings on his back started to shine and then he suddenly rushed over to where these people were.
Whether it was an expert at the peak of the Saint level like Imperial Advisor Zhou or City Lord Shao and the other late stage Saint level cultivators, they didn't put Ling Jian in their eyes.
Although Ling Jian's performance in the Dao Verification Assembly was indeed heaven-defying.
However, at that time, Ling Jian's opponent was only a junior at the half-step Saint level.
However, even though the cultivation of the Spiritual Sword had increased, in the eyes of these experts, it was still unable to pose any threat to them.
After all, these people could definitely crush Ling Jian in both cultivation level and numbers.
At this moment, Ling Jian was flying over to these people. The cultivators from the Fire Country and the Yin Huanhuan showed cold smiles.
As for the experts of the other factions, they made way for him.
During this period of time, they didn't choose to leave the Dao Verification Mountain Villa either. In reality, they only wanted to see what would happen to Ling Jian.
Other than that, they didn't have any hostility toward Ling Jian.
Whoosh!
The clear sound of the wind breaking suddenly reached the ears of everyone present.
Ling Jian controlled his body and finally stopped in the sky in front of Imperial Advisor Zhou and the others. His eyes also swept over Imperial Advisor Zhou and the others.
However, in the end, Ling Jian's gaze still landed on Imperial Advisor Zhou.
Compared to the others, only Imperial Advisor Zhou was worthy of his next move.
Although those late stage Saints weren't weak, Ling Jian could easily kill them with just a casual move.
However, for these late stage Saint cultivators, they naturally didn't know what Ling Jian was thinking at this moment. At this moment, when they saw that Ling Jian actually ignored them, all of their eyes instantly revealed an indescribable anger.
"You are Ling Jian? The madman who killed Huo Jun?"
At this moment, Imperial Advisor Zhou suddenly swept his gaze over to Ling Jian and coldly said.
"That's right, it's me!"
Ling Jian also revealed a cold smile. His tone was extremely indifferent, as if he didn't think much of Imperial Advisor Zhou either.
"Before I came here, I had already heard that you, Ling Jian, are an arrogant person. Now it seems that your reputation is not undeserved!"
Imperial Advisor Zhou narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Actually, I didn't plan to come this time. After all, it is meaningless to attack a junior. However, since I am already here, I won't show any mercy."
"How about this, since you're still a genius, I'll give you a chance to say your last words, and then I'll kill you, okay?"
"You just want to say these nonsense to me?"
Ling Jian stood still and looked at Imperial Advisor Zhou calmly. He said, "If you are done, then I can tell you one thing very responsibly. If you want to kill me, your strength is not enough."
"Is that so?"
Imperial Advisor Zhou was also stunned. He looked at Ling Jian as if he had seen a joke and laughed out loud, "Haha, this is really interesting. Ling Jian, could it be that you think that with my cultivation level of a Sage, I can't deal with someone like you?"
"You are very talented and arrogant, how can I not be able to deal with you?"
"That's right."
A soft voice came out from Ling Jian's mouth.
After saying this, Imperial Advisor Zhou's face instantly turned extremely gloomy.
The smile on his face had completely disappeared.
"Humph, what an arrogant and ignorant kid. He simply doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
Imperial Advisor Zhou's tone was extremely cold, and after saying this, he continued, "If any of you plan to attack, I will give you a chance to kill this bastard!"
"Imperial Advisor, I am willing to attack."
At this time, City Lord Shao, who was standing behind Imperial Advisor Zhou, suddenly spoke.
"Okay, go and finish this quickly. Don't make it too troublesome."
Imperial Advisor Zhou nodded his head and agreed to City Lord Shao's plan.
Hearing Imperial Advisor Zhou's words, City Lord Shao's face was filled with joy. His biggest wish was to kill Ling Jian and avenge his child.
Unfortunately, after Imperial Advisor Zhou arrived a few days ago, he gave up on this idea.
In his view, as long as Imperial Advisor Zhou wanted to attack, he wouldn't have the chance to attack Ling Jian.
However, at this moment, the chance to kill Ling Jian had appeared once again!
At this moment, his figure moved and he directly walked out from behind Imperial Advisor Zhou. He looked at Ling Jian in front of him and the killing intent in his eyes suddenly reached an extreme degree.
"Ling Jian, you killed my son back then. Now, I will kill you and take revenge!"
City Lord Shao spoke word by word. As he spoke, a horrible spiritual power burst out from his body.
Ling Jian stood a short distance away from City Lord Shao. He did not react to what City Lord Shao was doing at this moment. He acted as though he did not notice what City Lord Shao was doing.
This action of his made City Lord Shao even more furious. At this moment, he clenched both of his hands. Instantly, the dense Spiritual Energy between the heavens and the earth gathered together. A terrifying energy burst out from his fist.
Then, just as the energy was about to hit City Lord Shao's fist, City Lord Shao's fist suddenly became incomparably bright.
In the end, a flame actually appeared on City Lord Shao's fist.
The Sacred Fire of the Fire Country was something called the Li-Huang Flame. Within the Fire Country, all of the major attacks from the spiritual spells cultivated by the City Lords were related to the Li-Huang Flame.
City Lord Shao was the most powerful City Lord under the Fire Country, so he was naturally no exception. At this moment, after the appearance of the Li Huohuo, the temperature of the entire world had soared by leaps and bounds.
"Ignorant fool. You actually dare to use such a despicable flame in front of me?"
Ling Jian didn't do anything. However, the consciousness of the Undead Flame in his body started to speak.
As a flame that existed in ancient times, the Immortal Fire's pressure on one's body was inviolable. For other flames, the tower naturally had a strong restraining effect, and this flame hadn't even been born in ancient times.
If City Lord Shao had used other methods just now, he naturally wouldn't have been able to anger the Undying Fire that had been sleeping.
However, this City Lord Shao thought he was smart. He shouldn't have used the Leaving Fire Flame as soon as he came up.
At this moment, City Lord Shao's fist was covered by the Li Huohuo, and he was rushing toward Ling Jian. Ling Jian didn't even need to do anything. The Immortal Fire in his body had already used his own method.
At this moment, the fire on City Lord Shao's fist started to burn fiercely.
Immediately after, the flames seemed to possess some sort of intelligence of their own. Under City Lord Shao's incomparably shocked gaze, they transformed into the shape of an enormous python. After which, it opened its mouth wide and swallowed toward City Lord Shao.
"What is going on?"
At this moment, even City Lord Shao himself was stunned. He had never thought that such a strange scene would occur.
Although this Li Fire was not the true Li Fire, it was still a seed fire extracted from the Li Fire. All these years, he had been nurturing it, but now, how could this happen?
Unfortunately, the huge fire python didn't give her any time to think about the doubts in City Lord Shao's heart. As the flames burned, it swallowed City Lord Shao in one gulp.
Everyone could only hear City Lord Shao's shrill scream continuously coming out from the belly of the fire python. In the time it took to take two or three breaths, the scream had already stopped.
As for the fire python from earlier, it disappeared after swallowing City Lord Shao.
At this moment, the entire place became incomparably silent.
The scene that just happened exceeded the expectations of all the cultivators present.
No one would have thought that the attack of City Lord Shao would end up in such a way. The spirit sword had not actually attacked, but the young city lord had died under the backlash of his own flame. Wasn't that a bit too weird?
They had all thought that when the young city lord had attacked, Ling Jian would most likely have died in the hands of City Lord Shao. None of them had expected that things would turn out like this.
Ling Jian was still safe and sound, but City Lord Shao was dead.
"What... What is going on?"
In the sky, Imperial Advisor Zhou and the others were all in disbelief.
Did City Lord Shao look like he had been devoured by the flames?
One had to know that City Lord Shao was also a late-stage Saint. At the same cultivation level, his strength was definitely above average.
However, everything that happened made them speechless. Even someone like City Lord Shao would be devoured by the flames one day.
That was the Li Fire. Although it was only a sub-fire, how could such a thing happen?
At this moment, even the other late stage Saint Realm cultivators in the sky started to tremble.
As for the other cultivators, there was no need to talk about them. At this moment, in the Dao Verification Mountain Villa below, the cultivators of the Dao Verification Mountain Villa were all dumbfounded.
When Ling Jian came out from seclusion, many of the cultivators of the Dao Verification Villa had already noticed him.
Now, not to mention the confrontation between Ling Jian and State Preceptor Zhou, they were able to see him more clearly.
They had clearly seen everything that had happened earlier.
They had thought that the battle would end with Ling Jian being crushed by City Lord Shao, but now it seemed that the final result was quite comical and ironic.
"I never would have thought that a late-stage Saint would die just like that."0
"This Li Huohuo is obviously the Sacred Fire of the Fire County. Even though City Lord Shao's was only a Zihuo, the Zhihuo still rebounded. Isn't this a joke?"
"Isn't this too heaven-defying? This Li Huo Zi Flame didn't counterattack long ago, but now it does. Is it because Ling Jian's luck is too good, or the young city lord's confidence is too bad?"
"Is this reverse impact really a coincidence? Or did Ling Jian already know what to do when he attacked earlier? Is that why it happened?"
"It shouldn't be possible for him to do something wrong, should it? It is impossible for Ling Jian to be so unbelievable!"
"But if it is a coincidence, isn't it a bit too much of a coincidence? Why did he only show up when Ling Jian was attacked?"
In the Righteous Mountain Village, many cultivators started to argue about it.
Among them, many cultivators couldn't help but laugh.
In their opinion, City Lord Shao was definitely the most useless person to die in the entire Grand Culmination Sky, and he was even a Saint Level cultivator!
The great City Lord of the Fire County had actually been burned to death by their own flames.
If this matter were to spread to the Fire Country, who knew if it would become the biggest joke in the Fire Country?
Imperial Advisor Zhou's face was gloomy. He had never thought of what had happened earlier.
Just like the other cultivators, he didn't think it was just a coincidence.
However, he didn't feel anything from Ling Jian.
Even Imperial Advisor Zhou didn't know what was going on.
"Be quiet!"
Hearing the chatter from below, a sound wave suddenly came from Imperial Advisor Zhou's mouth.
Many of the cultivators from the Dao Verification Villa were also stunned by the sound waves from Imperial Advisor Zhou's mouth. However, during this process, the sounds of their discussions gradually died down.
"Who else is going to make a move?"
Imperial Advisor Zhou looked around him and spoke in a calm voice. Even though there had been an accident, he still did not plan to do it himself.
"Imperial Advisor, I plan to do it!"
"Imperial Advisor, I request to fight!"
"Imperial Advisor!"
Suddenly, just as Imperial Advisor Zhou's voice sounded, three similar voices sounded at almost the same time. The owners of these three voices were the two experts from the Yin Huan Sect and the old woman from the Fire County.
