Chang Qing summoned the Cangwu Divine Tree once more, and his figure dimmed, transforming into specks of starlight that merged with it. The spiritual energy of the entire Demonic Sect began to surge rapidly toward the divine tree.
At that moment, the Jie Yun in the sky continued to spin, accelerating and layering itself, forming a massive inverted funnel-shaped vortex. The outer edges were shrouded in dark clouds that deepened in color, gradually lightening as they approached the center, where for dozens of feet there was no trace of black clouds—only a field of white lightning, with deep red arcs flashing through it, heralding the destructive power of the heavenly tribulation.
Boom! Countless purple lightning bolts finally coalesced, spiraling down along the Jie Yun like a blood-soaked spear racing toward the divine tree!
The thunderous tribulations struck down relentlessly, yet the divine tree stood firm, its branches and leaves merely shedding and regrowing. By the time the tribulation finally ended, the entire tree had thickened considerably.
With a flash of white light, Chang Qing's figure became visible. The aura of a Transformation Stage Cultivator enveloped him as he closed his eyes to absorb the spiritual rain falling from the sky. His cultivation had already reached the Yuan Ying Pinnacle, and he was just one opportunity away from Hua Shen. Since summoning the Cangwu Divine Tree during his battle with the Demonic Sect Cultivators, he felt that this opportunity had arrived; sure enough, just as he completed the adjustments to the formation, the heavenly tribulation came.
With a wave of his hand, he retracted the Cangwu Divine Tree. "Let's go to Wanxiang Sect," Chang Qing said to the system.
The system jumped three feet high. "Host, are you finally going to save the male and female leads?"
"Why are you so concerned about them?" Chang Qing asked, somewhat puzzled. Their lives and deaths were not part of the Original Body's wishes.
The system hesitated for a while before decisively saying, "The male and female leads are embodiments of Great Fortune and favored by the Heavenly Dao. If they were to die before their luck is exhausted, it would cause chaos in the world, which would affect my assessment..."
Chang Qing: ...
"Just say it plainly! Since they are embodiments of Great Fortune, they won't die so easily." With a flicker of his figure, Chang Qing was already miles away.
...
When Chang Qing arrived at Wanxiang Sect, both sides were locked in a fierce battle. He concealed his presence and observed closely.
The Wanxiang Sect's formation had been breached in numerous places; it was unclear whether there was an insider at work or if it had been forcefully attacked. The battle in the sky unfolded across several layers.
At the highest level, clouds swirled chaotically with sword energy crisscrossing; hardly any figures were visible except for occasional sounds of magical artifacts clashing. Chang Qing discovered that the male and female leads were also at this level, fighting alongside Wanxiang sect elder against two Demonic Sect Transformation Stage cultivators.
The male protagonist has already reached the Mid-Stage of the Yuan Ying realm, but his foundation is unstable, likely due to a recent breakthrough in battle. The female protagonist, on the other hand, is at the Initial Stage of Yuan Ying. The male protagonist employs the Ten Thousand Sword Technique as his main offensive strategy, while the female protagonist seems to have cultivated a technique that complements it. Together, their combat strength is surprisingly able to contend with a Transformation Stage Cultivator. However, their opponent is a Transformation Stage Cultivator from the Demon Sect, and despite their synergy, they still find themselves at a disadvantage and occasionally require assistance from an Ancestor. As a result, the entire Upper Battlefield of the Wanxiang Sect is in a precarious position; if their highest-tier combatants are defeated, the sect's downfall would be inevitable.
"It seems that the Wanxiang Sect is putting up a strong resistance, forcing the Demon Sect to send another Transformation Stage Cultivator for support," Chang Qing thought to himself. With two Demon Sect Transformation Stage Cultivators present, it meant there was only one Hua Shen blocking the Righteous Path's reinforcements.
"It appears that the Righteous Path is truly disunited," Chang Qing lamented. It was known that among the support teams from various sects, there were still several Late Stage Yuan Ying Cultivators. If they united, breaking through a single Transformation Stage Cultivator's blockade would not be impossible. Yet even now, reinforcements had yet to arrive; it seemed they were unable to break through.
Chang Qing continued to observe the battles in the middle tier. This layer consisted of Yuan Ying Cultivators from both sides, and their strengths appeared evenly matched, resulting in a back-and-forth struggle. Chang Qing noticed Master Gong was also in this layer; he was a Mid-Stage Yuan Ying Cultivator currently locked in a fierce battle with a Mid-Stage Yuan Ying Cultivator from the Demon Sect.
The lowest tier was the battlefield for Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Practitioners. This was where the numbers were greatest and also where casualties were highest. Various magical artifacts flew about chaotically, and injuries or deaths among Cultivators occurred frequently. Chang Qing estimated that nearly two or three Cultivators fell with every breath taken; it was truly brutal.
"Host, are you going to take action?" the system couldn't help but ask.
Chang Qing furrowed his brow. At this moment, both sides were suffering losses, but in terms of high-tier combat power, the Demon Sect held an advantage. Moreover, the presence of Demonic Qi within the male protagonist… could that be one of the reasons why the Demon Sect chose to attack Wanxiang Sect? The situation had not yet reached its most critical point; Chang Qing wanted to see what other trump cards the Demon Sect might have.
Perhaps… "Let's go assist the support team!" Chang Qing stood up.
He recalled that during discussions about support among various sects, they had decided to gather first before acting together to avoid being picked off one by one. Given the current situation, it seemed they had been blocked midway by a Demon Sect Transformation God Practitioner.
…
At this moment, about two thousand kilometers away from Wanxiang Sect, atop a mountain range stood a man resembling Bai Mian Shu Sheng. He held a feather fan and wore a silken kerchief on his head, effortlessly repelling several charging Cultivators with his gestures while maintaining an innocuous smile on his face.
"Everyone should rest here; why wade into the murky waters between the Demon Sect and Wanxiang Sect?" His voice was not loud but carried an aura of Hua Shen power that seemed to resonate directly in the ears of the Righteous Path Cultivators across from him.
"Damn it!" roared Xianxia Sect's Jianfeng Peak Master in frustration. "Everyone charge together! We have so many Yuan Ying Cultivators here; several of them are Late Stage! I refuse to believe he can block us all!" He called out loudly.
"Xuanyuan Peak Master, it's easy for you to say; they have a Mid Transformation Stage on their side," someone immediately retorted.
"Indeed, it hasn't been easy for us to reach this level of cultivation. Why should we risk our lives against a higher-level Cultivator?"
"The opponents seem to have some sense of honor; they haven't dealt lethal blows to us lower-level Cultivators."
The crowd of Cultivators erupted in a cacophony of dissenting voices.
"A bunch of cowards! This isn't just a matter between the Demonic Sect and the Wanxiang Sect; it's a matter between the Demonic Sect and the Righteous Path! Don't you understand that when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold?" Master Xuan Yuan said, exasperated.
"Better to have the teeth gone than to perish right now," someone retorted immediately.
The scholarly-looking Demon Sect Transformation God Practitioner observed the bickering Righteous Path Cultivators with an even brighter smile. With a wave of his hand, he produced an opulent, shimmering golden bed and reclined on it, appearing utterly at ease.
At this point, many Righteous Path Cultivators could no longer stand by. Under Master Xuan Yuan's lead, over a dozen Cultivators charged forward.
Bai Mian Shu Sheng frowned as dozens of silk curtains hanging from the headboard shot out like long swords, engaging in battle with the advancing Righteous Path Cultivators.
Although the Righteous Path Cultivators had numerical superiority, they found themselves at a disadvantage. The few at the front wielding magical artifacts clashed with the silk curtains, producing a sound akin to clashing metal. They felt a jolt in their hands, nearly losing their weapons.
Everyone was taken aback; despite unleashing all sorts of magical artifacts and talismans, they still fell short against the powers of a Transformation Stage Cultivator. Breaking through the defense of the silk curtains was already difficult enough, let alone closing in.
After a fierce entanglement, the Righteous Path Cultivators were forced to retreat. They exchanged glances, their expressions grim.
Among them were those who understood that their opponents were holding back from killing in order not to provoke them further. They knew that if everyone charged together, even a Transformation Stage Cultivator couldn't completely block them. The key was that most people were unwilling to risk their lives for others when they had a chance to survive.
The Demonic Sect had seized upon this hesitation, daring to send one Hua Shen to obstruct the Righteous Path's reinforcements.
Seeing that his opponents had ceased their advance, Bai Mian Shu Sheng leisurely rose from his bed. He gestured invitingly with his hand and changed his previously gentle demeanor to one of arrogance. "Everyone, please retreat. As long as I am here, you will never pass."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice echoed from afar: "Is that so?" Even before its owner arrived, the aura belonging to Hua Shen had already made its presence known.
Another Hua Shen! Everyone's hearts skipped a beat.
As the last syllable fell, Chang Qing appeared before them.
Changqing Zhenjun! The crowd from the Righteous Path was momentarily dazed. Many of them had participated in the Yuan Ying Grand Ceremony held by Xianxia Sect for Chang Qing. Although they anticipated that he would soon achieve Hua Shen, the sight of a true Transformation Stage Cultivator standing before them was still shocking. He really achieved Hua Shen so quickly! The gazes directed at Chang Qing were now filled with a hint of reverence.
Regardless, our Transformation Stage Cultivator has arrived, and everyone's confidence surged. Xuanyuan peak Master and others hurried forward to pay their respects.
Chang Qing waved his hand and turned to face the Demon Sect Transformation God Practitioner. "Make your move!" Before receiving a response, thorns erupted from the ground, rushing toward him with a fierce howl. Chang Qing had no intention of engaging in a lengthy verbal duel here! He channeled his spiritual energy, causing the thorns to grow and multiply, and within a breath, they covered half the sky ahead.
What incredible power! Battles between Transformation Stage Cultivators were rare, and the crowd held their breath as they watched the battlefield from afar.
However, the opposing Demonic Sect Cultivator showed no intention of fighting. He formed a hand seal, and a visible wave of Crimson Glory erupted, causing him to vanish from sight. Only a voice echoed from afar: “Changqing Zhenjun, this place is not suitable for battle; we shall meet again!”
Chang Qing did not pursue. A Transformation Stage Cultivator could travel thousands of miles in a day; chasing for days might not yield results. Unless one was killed or severely injured in battle, fleeing at the start was not something that could be easily countered. He waved his hand and retracted his divine powers.
“Fellow cultivators, the battle at the Wanxiang sect continues. Now that the obstruction has been lifted, please hurry to provide support.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. There was nothing more to say; they had come specifically to aid the Wanxiang sect. Thus, they set off together, marching toward the Wanxiang sect in great numbers.
Initially worried that the Demon Sect Transformation Stage might return to confront them, Chang Qing intended to move with everyone. However, upon receiving word from the system that the Demon Sect Transformation Stage seemed aware of matters concerning their sect and had already headed toward the main base of the Demonic Sect, he quickened his pace and soon left everyone far behind.
