Chapter 121: Chapter 106 Invincible Heavenly Person (Seeking Subscriptions)
"I really didn’t expect that my casual outing this time would lead to such an opportunity... Have I just stumbled upon incredible luck?"
After getting up, Li Qian stroked his chin, feeling extremely emotional.
The Great River Sword Qi he encountered was undoubtedly of high level.
Just the first layer was equivalent to comprehending the Heavenly Phenomenon Level Martial Intent.
He knew that Martialists of the True Image Level and those of the Heavenly Phenomenon Level are completely different.
The former can only be considered as ordinary Heavenly Persons, similar to innate martial artists who haven’t comprehended Martial Intent, and this remains the case even if their cultivation reaches the late stage of Heavenly Person.
Such Heavenly Persons can at most fly, and are revered as celestial beings.
In fact, a true Heavenly Person... not only has their cultivation reached the Heavenly Human Realm, but they have also comprehended the Heavenly Phenomenon Level Martial Intent, and can invoke heavenly phenomena with their own Martial Intent.
Such Heavenly Persons... are referred to as Invincible Heavenly Persons in the lands of Dachang.
It is said that only the now deceased Old Emperor Wu was of this level.
Therefore, the Old Emperor Wu suppressed the Dachang realm for over two hundred years, unrivaled, thus establishing the era of great prosperity for those two hundred years.
As the Old Emperor Wu’s lifespan was coming to an end, the suppression weakened, and all sorts of demonic beings emerged, leading to the rebellions of the Moon Worship Sect and Yujing, and after the Old Emperor Wu’s death, it ultimately led to a major rebellion among the twenty-plus vassal states, plunging the realm into a chaotic era of war.
"That elder, even if he’s not a Martial Saint, might be one of the Invincible Heavenly Persons..."
Li Qian thought to himself.
However, from the old man he accidentally encountered, it’s evident that this world is far more complex than he imagined.
Perhaps in some corner, there might be a powerful being living in seclusion, one that he couldn’t contend with.
Great hermits hide in cities, small hermits hide in the wilderness... it’s not a joke.
Thus, with his current True Image Level Sword Intent and cultivation not even reaching the Heavenly Human Realm... he’s actually quite weak.
He needs to deeply reflect on his actions during this period... they’ve been somewhat too risky.
However... given the current situation, he can’t help but make a move.
Luckily, he’s well-hidden and hasn’t exposed himself.
In this way, he won’t become the target of public criticism.
If he were to expose his considerable strength openly, the level of risk would be much different immediately, and likely countless eyes would be watching him.
At that point, he wouldn’t be able to quietly continue his cultivation.
"Now that the crisis of the Divine Sword Sect has been resolved, there shouldn’t be major issues following. I shouldn’t need to intervene, and should try my best to keep a low profile and reduce my presence."
Li Qian had a plan in mind.
....
Night fell.
The disciples of the Divine Sword Sect were active from dusk till dawn.
Even though they knew that the Divine Sword Sect was now safe, they remained extremely cautious and vigilant.
After all, they were inside Kunwu Road, not within the territory of the Divine Sword Sect.
Moreover, they carried a large amount of precious resources, which if exposed... the local martial arts forces might not be able to restrain their greed.
The materials allowed to be taken by the disciples must represent the essence of the Divine Sword Sect.
As they had to carry both the injured and the bodies of deceased fellow disciples, their pace was much slower.
They dared not ride horses or carriages on the main roads as that would make them too conspicuous.
"We are just tens of kilometers from reaching Taicang Pass, then there should be no major issues."
True Inheritor, Senior Brother Zhao said.
The group felt excited, finally about to return to the Divine Sword Sect.
They had walked another ten miles when suddenly a figure descended from the sky.
The sudden appearance alarmed everyone, quickly forming a defensive formation.
They were like frightened birds at this moment.
"Don’t be nervous, it’s this old man."
The person spoke.
"Grand Uncle-Master..."
Upon hearing the voice, True Inheritor Senior Brother Zhao was immediately overjoyed and hurried forward to greet him.
The other True Inheritors were also happy, their suspended hearts finally settled.
"This old man ran back and forth a few times before finally finding you, what exactly has happened?"
Xiao Wendao asked with a serious tone.
"Grandmaster Uncle, it’s like this..."
Senior Brother Zhao hurriedly recounted the situation exactly as it had happened, not hiding anything, including the traitor Huang Haisheng’s affair.
"Huang Haisheng, among the upper echelons of our Divine Sword Sect, who else is an insider for the Xuanming Sect?"
Xiao Wendao’s gaze fell on Huang Haisheng and he asked immediately.
Huang Haisheng was completely restrained, unable to move, and was directly carried by others.
Huang Haisheng did not speak.
"Hehe, there’s no point in not speaking now. After you personally experience the taste of this old man’s interrogation methods, you should be willing to talk."
Xiao Wendao gave a slight smile, appearing incredibly terrifying in Huang Haisheng’s eyes.
After remaining silent for a while, he said, "Actually, I don’t know who it is, but the person’s rank should be very high, knowing of my existence."
"Whether you truly don’t know or are pretending not to know, we will find out when we get back."
Xiao Wendao smiled indifferently, signaling a True Inheritor to take Huang Haisheng aside, as he had more important matters to ask Senior Brother Zhao.
"You just mentioned a Heavenly Person from our Divine Sword Sect saved you all?"
"Grandmaster Uncle, yes... A Heavenly Person wearing a black cloak... This senior claims to be a Heavenly Person from our Divine Sword Sect."
Senior Brother Zhao hurriedly said.
"Hm, I see. Regarding the existence of this Heavenly Person, it’s enough that you people know. Absolutely do not speak of it, otherwise, you will be dealt with according to the sect’s rules."
Xiao Wendao nodded and then reminded him.
In the eyes of Senior Brother Zhao and others, Grandmaster Uncle already knew about the existence of that Heavenly Person.
So, it turns out it’s not just one Heavenly Person at our Divine Sword Sect, but two.
Their hearts all surged with excitement.
Two Heavenly Persons are definitely stronger than one.
Xiao Wendao wanted them to think this way.
In fact, he knew nothing; who knows where this Heavenly Person popped out from?
He, the highest-ranked Heavenly Person within the Divine Sword Sect, actually had no knowledge of it.
He was now utterly bewildered.
He could now be certain that the black-cloaked Heavenly Person, who saved these disciples, should be the same mysterious black-cloaked person who had saved him twice before.
At this moment, his heart was filled with great emotion.
This Heavenly Person is truly too mysterious, almost as if they could predict the future, always managing to help right before the most dangerous moments at Divine Sword Sect.
Without this Heavenly Person’s secret assistance, he would have definitely perished by now.
These dozens of disciples would likely have been completely annihilated...
Even if the Luo King’s Palace continued withdrawing troops normally, the future of the horribly weakened Divine Sword Sect could be imagined.
Luckily, this Heavenly Person is alive.
Only if the Heavenly Person is alive, does Divine Sword Sect truly qualify as a major martial arts school.
Luckily, most of these disciples survived.
Only if the disciples are alive, the Divine Sword Sect will not experience a severe disruption.
"Could this Heavenly Person really be someone from our Divine Sword Sect... but of a much higher seniority than me, which is why I wasn’t aware?"
He couldn’t help but lean towards this thought now.
If his seniority is higher... how old would that person be?
"Although our Divine Sword Sect has had its glorious times in history... in the recent centuries, the born Heavenly Persons are few and far between... If any of them are still alive, they would have far surpassed the age of 300 years, surely they can’t be a Martial Saint."
Xiao Wendao became increasingly puzzled.
A Martial Saint is utterly impossible.
Even an invincible Heavenly Person can’t be... If they were so powerful, there wouldn’t be any need to hide, they could simply appear and crush the Luo King’s Palace.
A top-level Heavenly Person is a possibility.
After all, he witnessed with his own eyes that mysterious black-cloaked Heavenly Person slay Master Yang Mei and Han Tianbao, two Heavenly Persons, in a moment, a feat indeed only possible for top-tier talent.
Remember, it’s possible...
A top-level Heavenly Person might be able to defeat ordinary Heavenly Persons, but to kill them instantly... not so easy.
Who exactly is this mysterious Heavenly Person?
