A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 616: Chapter 487: True Monarch (2)

Fourteen years ago, Master Cangfeng, Ye Xiao, and I just happened to destroy the Immortal Temple on Tieyuan, eradicating the residual soul of the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch!

Is that so? Because the residual soul was destroyed, it broke a certain restriction, allowing Meng Chi’s cultivation to recover!

It all connects, what she says is probably true!

Lu Qian asked solemnly, ”I didn’t realize True Monarch’s background was so extraordinary; it’s truly an honor. Then, may I ask who your esteemed master, another legendary figure, might be?”

Upon hearing the question, Meng Chi True Monarch’s face flushed with two shades of red, her eyes looked dazed, and her breathing accelerated.

She proudly thrust out her chest, almost bursting her blood-stained robe, and loudly proclaimed to the crowd with a voice echoing throughout the valley.

”My master is none other than the leader of ten thousand scales, the ruler of the Star Sea, the True Dragon Celestial Monarch of Ocean Overturning!”

In an instant, everyone was astounded and speechless.

A legendary True Immortal Calamity, later when twenty-three immortals ascended and battled the initial ten immortals, the True Dragon Celestial Monarch stood equal with the Nine Heavens Thunder Killing Celestial Monarch, being one of the leaders among the twenty-three immortals.

In the past, the ethereal Immortal Saints appeared only in myth to these Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivators, not even in their boldest fantasies. Yet now, they seemed almost within reach, leaving everyone momentarily dumbfounded and disoriented.

However, as Lu Qian aligned the relationships, a thought suddenly emerged.

Wait a minute, in that case, is the True Dragon Celestial Monarch not an enemy?

He once led the twenty-three True Immortals to battle the initial ten Celestial Monarchs, including the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch. Though the details of the epic battle remain unknown, his subordinate Meng Chi True Monarch was severely injured by the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch, barely surviving until now, only recovering after the split soul of the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch was destroyed.

And I am marked for death by the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch.

The enemy’s enemy is an ally, so—

”The name of the True Dragon Celestial Monarch of Ocean Overturning is thunderous, worshipped, and revered by all.” Lu Qian said loudly, ”Meng Chi True Monarch, I heard from the Jade Flood Dragon that everything you’ve done is to prepare for the True Dragon Celestial Monarch’s return.”

”Then we won’t disturb you; may True Monarch proceed freely?”

Not only were the people around him stunned, but even Meng Chi True Monarch paused for a moment.

Lu Qian’s words seemed absurd, yet somehow sounded reasonable.

The Mingyu Sword Sect came to eliminate the human-snake monster lurking here; who would’ve thought such an earth-shattering event was hidden here. Even without concerning Celestial Monarchs or True Monarchs, if only a Nascent Soul Spirit Monarch appeared, the Mingyu Sword Sect would respectfully offer the entire Hidden Dragon Stream to her.

As for Ji Yunrou and the Divine Flood Dragon Sect’s grievances... we will keep the hatred in our hearts and discuss revenge when we have the means.

If three to five hundred years later revenge is still unattainable, then pardon me, who is Ji Yunrou?

While Meng Chi True Monarch is about summoning the True Dragon Celestial Monarch. The True Dragon Celestial Monarch holds no grudges with anyone here; from Lu Qian’s perspective, still a potential friend, sharing a common enemy—the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch, there’s no reason at all to prevent the Celestial Monarch’s descent.

Taking it a step further, what does the Celestial Monarch’s descent have to do with two Golden Core Sects? Or a group of Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Cultivators? Even the authorities over Cangzhou have no right to interfere in this matter!

Why try to stop the Celestial Monarch’s descent?

Therefore, can they ignore each other, each following their own path?

Meng Chi True Monarch suddenly burst into laughter, the roaring stream waters rumbled in the valley.

”Knowing so much, can I let you leave?” Meng Chi True Monarch showed a malicious smile, ”Moreover, I will use your blood as a guide to summon the Celestial Monarch.”

”But, Lu Qian, I might consider sparing your life.” She licked her lips with interest, ”Ji Yunrou’s obsession is so strong, I’m feeling heated right now.”

Lu Qian sighed, so no negotiation.

His eyes suddenly widened with terror, staring behind Meng Chi True Monarch.

”Miao Fa Celestial Monarch!”

Meng Chi True Monarch was seized by terror, the deep-seated fear consumed her instantly. She turned sharply, but only to find nothing behind her.

Five-colored lights soared and enveloped her!

The sound of sea waves and thunder exploded intensely. Dozens of feet high, like towering mountains, the Gui Water Thunder Waves, amidst pure black, emanated a sinister blue gleam, carrying a terrifying aura of tearing and destruction, crashed down upon her with a boom!

Fourfold Transformation: Thunder Sea Fury.

And at that moment, a painting scroll shot up from Wang Yu’s bosom.

”Everyone, come to my side!”

Cao Mo was both surprised and delighted, realizing this treasure had fallen into the hands of the Yunshan Sect. He immediately called out, allowing the four Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Mingyu Sword Sect to relax, no longer resisting, and instead follow the suction force into the colorful glow of the scroll.

The scroll unfolded with a flourish, depicting a stunning scene in vibrant colors.

In the skies, dark clouds covered the heavens, a sinister ink dragon dove down fiercely.

Beneath the clouds, eighteen white-clad immortals soared skyward. They formed a triangular formation, with the immortals below lifting those above, gathering layers of brilliance onto one person at the apex.

That immortal’s hair and beard stood on end, holding a dazzling longsword, sword qi soaring, carrying an unstoppable momentum, thrusting straight toward the ink dragon.

Xuanguang Sect’s Secret Treasure: Immortal Dragon Slayer Painting!

The Yunshan Sect members all flew up, Wang Yu’s body shook, intending to summon three Foundation Establishment corpse puppets into the Dragon Slayer Painting.

His corpse puppet dao patterns were exceedingly unique, forming corpse puppets with independent dantian qi seas, able to self-replenish after exhausting spiritual evil, maintaining most of their former spiritual wisdom and instincts. Already tested before, when used in the Immortal Dragon Slayer Painting, they can replace the positions of three Foundation Establishments.

Thirteen years ago, in the Battle of Lingsha City, Wang Yu’s corpse puppets were exposed. But later, the Yunshan Sect advanced to a Golden Core Sect, governing a region, and Wang Yu never refined Cangzhou cultivators into puppets again, so the Cangzhou Sect turned a blind eye, without deep investigation.

Even the Yunshan Sect’s enemies, particularly the Liyuan Sect, frequently slandered Wang Yu for this; however, the impact remained limited, never causing substantial harm.

To the Yunshan disciples, although Elder Wang was extremely strict, harshly enforcing laws eliciting dread, he remained a fairly upright person, coupled with the Sect Leader personally endorsing him, initial unrest among disciples faded over the years into acceptance.

After all, demonic methods depend on their usage; familiar means might also be acceptable.

So now, Wang Yu could openly use corpse puppets.

Except the three corpse puppets hadn’t been replaced yet; still repaired after the battle were Zhuo Wuying, Qian Ji, and Sunx Hong.

But as Wang Yu activated his spiritual evil, he suddenly widened his pitch-black eyes.

The summoning failed! The three corpse puppets vanished from his senses!

How is this possible?!

Yet at this moment, there was no time to ponder. Radiant light filled the sky, ten immortal phantoms soared out, encompassing everyone except Lu Qian among the ten Foundation Establishments, each wrapped in a white-robed radiant virtual image.

Ten Foundation Establishments ascended skyward, spiritual power cascading through their bodies, converging at Wang Yu at the apex.

Facing the formidable enemy, Wang Yu couldn’t afford to be distracted, only striving forward.

In an instant, a sonorous and spirited sword chant resonated!

In Wang Yu’s hands, radiant brilliance dazzled, the forty-zhang-long Dragon-Slaying Sword materialized from invisible to visible, crystal clear, and incredibly sharp, as sword qi soared skyward, slashing a hundred-zhang fissure in the mountain, then thrusting toward Meng Chi True Monarch from below!

Immortal Dragon Slayer Painting, requiring at least nine Foundation Establishments for activation, possesses the combat power of the Early Stage of Golden Core. Now, with ten people’s combined strength, it surpassed the minimum standard.

At this moment, the slow-to-react Jade Flood Dragon finally roared, transforming into its flood dragon form again, jaws clenched with fangs, a dazzling white thunder light shining from its dragon tail, rapidly transmitting along the scales on its body, ascending segment by segment, ultimately concentrating all lightning onto the tip of its single horn.

Thunder exploded, intense light flashed, a flood dragon-shaped white thunderbolt briefly emerging, pursued the Dragon-Slaying Sword, shooting toward Meng Chi True Monarch.

Divine Power: White Dragon Divine Thunder!

Lu Qian’s Thunder Sea Fury and the Jade Flood Dragon’s White Dragon Divine Thunder, one on each side, black and white, trapped Meng Chi True Monarch in the middle. The radiant Dragon-Slaying Sword pierced directly upward toward True Monarch.

In an instant, three Golden Core Level attacks simultaneously slammed into Meng Chi True Monarch!

Everyone’s hearts brimmed with hope; she was currently at Nascent Soul cultivation, confident in restraining her, awaiting rescue!
