The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2278: Chapter 2278: Ten Thousand Demon Mountain

If Jing Yan can successfully create the Immortal Venerable Level Chaos Sword, he believes there is a high probability that he will directly step into the Immortal Venerable Realm.

However, creating an Immortal Venerable Level technique is extremely difficult. If Jing Yan himself were in the Immortal Venerable Realm, the difficulty might be slightly lower. While his strength is undoubtedly formidable, Immortal Rhythm is still Immortal Rhythm, and ultimately not the Immortal Venerable realm.

Over these decades, Bai Bingli’s progress has also been astonishing.

From the time she became Jing Yan’s apprentice, it has only been fifty years, yet a year ago, her realm advanced from the All Things Realm to the Nether Sky Realm.

Jing Yan can guide cultivators at the pinnacle of Immortal Rhythm and significantly improve their Dao Skill cultivation. Bai Bingli was previously only at the All Things Realm cultivation level, and with serious effort under Jing Yan’s guidance, it would almost be impossible not to progress. Bai Bingli has very strong talent, and possesses excellent Soul Cultivation Talent.

Bai Bingli reaching the Nether Sky Realm cultivation made Bai Wentai and others very happy. Bai Wentai mentioned in many places that Bai Bingli found a good mentor, and if it weren’t for Jing Yan’s guidance, Bai Bingli achieving the Nether Sky Realm would not have been a matter of fifty years; even five hundred, five thousand, or fifty thousand years might not be enough.

Also because of Bai Bingli’s rapid progress in cultivation, many senior members of the Bai Family have become amazed at Jing Yan’s ability to teach. Since Bai Bingli advanced to the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm, the number of Bai Family members seeking to apprentice under Jing Yan has suddenly increased.

Before Bai Bingli became his apprentice, although many people sought guidance from Jing Yan, no one actually apprenticed under him. Kui Xiang and others only consulted Jing Yan. But now the situation is different, with even senior members of the Bai Family personally requesting Jing Yan to take their young relatives as apprentices.

To these requests, Jing Yan could only refuse.

Because he will soon have no time to teach apprentices. Once he starts creating the Immortal Venerable Level Chaos Sword, he needs to devote all his energy and time to creating the technique, and cannot afford to be as leisurely as he has been recently.

Jing Yan is highly likely to not emerge from seclusion until he successfully creates the Immortal Venerable Level Chaos Sword or fails in the attempt.

Many were disappointed by Jing Yan’s refusal to take on disciples, but there was nothing they could do. If Jing Yan didn’t want to accept apprentices, they couldn’t force him.

Before Jing Yan went into seclusion, he specifically told Bai Bingli that he would be closing off and training for a long time and wouldn’t be able to guide her, instructing her to work hard on her own cultivation. Given Bai Bingli’s aptitude, along with the resources provided by the Bai Family, reaching the peak of the Nether Sky Realm wouldn’t be difficult. In this process, she wouldn’t require much guidance from Jing Yan.

In the following time, Jing Yan began to enter seclusion once again.

To create the Immortal Venerable Level Chaos Sword, Jing Yan’s preparations were quite thorough. He mastered all the techniques from the auction at the Mystic Moon Trading House in Faro Heaven, including the most difficult Immortal Venerable Level technique, the Nine Heavens Divine Fire.

In spells of the Five Elements Attribute and Space-Time techniques, Jing Yan’s capabilities were already very strong. The foundation for creating the Immortal Venerable Level Chaos Sword was considered to be solid.

The years flew by.

Jing Yan remained in the Bai Family in seclusion, creating the Immortal Venerable Level Chaos Sword, while the entire Bai Family continued its orderly operation. The entire Bai City, with countless cultivators, kept exploring their paths slowly and steady. They were long accustomed to such days.

However, this peaceful day was finally broken.

This moment came three thousand years after Jing Yan entered seclusion to create the Chaos Sword.

The sudden change happened.

When the Bai Family’s higher-ups who controlled Bai City discovered the impending crisis, Bai City was already surrounded by a terrible group of cultivators.

Powerful beings from Ten Thousand Demon Mountain had descended.

”Family Head!”

”People from Ten Thousand Demon Mountain have appeared.” Elder Yi of the Bai Family rushed in from outside, with an unpleasant expression, shouting at Bai Wentai.

Bai Wentai suddenly stood up, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.

Even though he knew this day would eventually come, when the crisis from Ten Thousand Demon Mountain truly arrived, Bai Wentai’s mind trembled, unable to control his panic.

Ten Thousand Demon Mountain is the gathering place for demons from Iron Bay. In Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, there are countless fierce and powerful demons.

In truth, most places in the Nightmare City region are far more chaotic than the Nine Days of the Immortal Domain. In the Nine Days of the Immortal Domain, each Heavenly Domain has at least one Heavenly Lord overseeing its management, with numerous Immortal Venerables managing various regions. Under the management of the Heavenly Lords and many figures like Yuantong Immortal Venerable, even when some fierce demons commit indiscriminate killings, they have to consider the consequences. Demons generally don’t commit mass slaughter without necessity because provoking a Heavenly Lord might lead to disastrous consequences.

But in the Nightmare City region, it’s different.

Among the Eighteen Bays of Nightmare City, nearly all are more chaotic than the Nine Days of the Immortal Domain. Even the relatively most chaotic Kunling Heaven is much more orderly than the Eighteen Bays of Nightmare City.

In Iron Bay, the most fierce and powerful force that strikes fear is Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

In the endless years, no one knows how many cities have been destroyed by Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. Probably, few people could even count them.

This time, the target of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain is Bai City, governed by the Bai Family.

It’s said that the Bai Family offended Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, but to be honest, it’s just an excuse from Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. Any cultivator familiar with Ten Thousand Demon Mountain understands this. One could even say Ten Thousand Demon Mountain had planned to take action against Bai City before the Bai Family supposedly offended them. Generally, Ten Thousand Demon Mountain chooses a target first and then sets up a minor provocation to make the target antagonize them.

The steps for Ten Thousand Demon Mountain’s slaughter are pretty set.

First, select a target, then scheme to have the target offend them, the third step is a sudden, unprovoked attack on an entire city. The massacre in Bai City seemed to have one more step: the Bai Family expended great effort seeking people with significant influence to plead, which led Ten Thousand Demon Mountain to impose harsh conditions on the Bai Family. Unable to meet Ten Thousand Demon Mountain’s terms, as a result, they proceeded with their original plan to attack Bai City.

Ten Thousand Demon Mountain’s slaughter of a city truly spares no one; they will massacre every living being, every cultivator within a city, leaving no one behind, not even a dog or chicken.

Historically, Ten Thousand Demon Mountain has always acted this way. Once they act, everything gets annihilated.

Shortly after the Bai Family’s senior members received the news, the cultivators within Bai City also gradually heard the news. Upon learning that a large number of demons from Ten Thousand Demon Mountain had arrived, they were all thrown into a panic.
