If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 142 Sword Cultivators Must Always Be Composed

Seeing Lu Lingjun fall silent again, Gu An could sense that she had grasped the opportunity for a breakthrough.

Lu Lingjun had clearly been at the ninth level of the Integration Realm for a long time, and her spiritual power had reached a point where it could no longer increase.

Gu An pulled her into the valley, saying, "Tell me, what exactly is the Profound Heart Realm? It feels so powerful. Profound Heart, Profound Heart, is there something special about the heart in this realm?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingjun's expression changed.

Her heart was undergoing some changes; a special power was surging within it.

This special power was naturally Gu An's magic power, but he used it very cleverly. In addition, due to the huge difference in their cultivation levels, Lu Lingjun could not detect that it was his power at all. Instead, she thought that she was about to undergo a transformation.

This wisp of magic power circulated within Lu Lingjun's heart before returning to Gu An's body, leaving Lu Lingjun with a fleeting sense of loss.

At this moment, the other disciples in the valley gathered around and asked about the origins of the female demon cultivator.

Covered in blood, Gu An gave a few simple answers before returning to the attic to wash himself.

Lu Lingjun returned to the wooden railing, looked up at the thunderclouds, and continued to watch the battle.

For the Third Medicine Valley, Fairy Baixia was just a minor incident, and even the menial disciples didn't pay much attention to her. Little did they know that this deceased female demon cultivator's cultivation level surpassed that of the Nine Dynasties, and apart from Gu An, she was the strongest in terms of cultivation.

……

Tai Chen Dynasty, Wanji Forest.

Large banners stood along the edge of the forest, marking out a clearing of about a hundred miles in radius. On the clearing, ditches were drawn, which, when viewed from above, appeared as intricate rune patterns.

This is the supreme formation of the Ephemeral Flower Sect, the Six Paths Mahayana Formation!

At the center of the formation, seven men in black robes sat cross-legged, forming a circle. They were all at the Profound Heart Realm, and above the fifth level of the Profound Heart Realm. They were the top seven of the Hundred Venerables of the Ephemeral Flower Sect!
One of the old women opened her eyes and said, "There is the aura of a great battle in the Xuanxin Realm from the direction of Taixuan Sect. It seems that the Vice Sect Leader and Chiqian Venerable have already taken action. I wonder if Fudao Sword Venerable will also make a move."

Upon hearing this, the other six people opened their eyes.

"The Tai Xuan Sect is in imminent danger, and the Sword Master Fu Dao will naturally take action."

"It is said that the cultivation of the Sword Master Fudao is at least at the eighth level of the Profound Heart Realm, but I don't know if it's true."

"In any case, with the Vice Sect Leader taking action, the Tai Xuan Sect can only rely on the Sword Venerable Fudao."

"I must say, we really underestimated the sects in this land. It seems like a desolate and backward place, but it has managed to summon back so many Xuanxin Realm cultivators."

"After all, they have stood for thousands of years, and there will always be someone who reaches the Profound Heart Realm."

The seven masters of the Ephemeral Flower Sect discussed amongst themselves, their tone casual, as if the Tai Xuan Sect was already doomed.

at the same time.

Ten thousand miles away, nestled among the mountains, the cultivators of the Tai Xuan Sect were stationed here, with a group of disciples monitoring the surrounding area from every mountain peak within a radius of a thousand miles.

Inside the main camp, in a makeshift hall, Lü Baitian, Ancestor Xuanquan, and dozens of high-ranking members of the Tai Xuan Sect gathered.

An Hao and Wu Jue were also present. An Hao stood next to Lü Baitian, while Wu Jue stood behind Zhou Yu of Zun Ge.

Lu Baitian sat there with an air of superiority, looking more like a demon lord than a sect leader of a righteous sect.

His face darkened as he asked, "What do you mean? The Azure Sky Sect wants to become the alliance leader?"

Ji Chen from the Ji family said helplessly, "That's right. The number of sects in the Nine Dynasties has exceeded forty. Acting haphazardly will only make them more likely to hinder each other. Therefore, the Cangtian Sect proposed to elect a leader. Since the Cangtian Sect has sent a million disciples and four Supreme Elders of the Profound Heart Realm, they should be the ones to lead."

Four Profound Heart Realm experts are indeed terrifying!
Before the calamity caused by the Ephemeral Flower Sect, the Integration Realm was the highest realm of the Nine Dynasties. Unexpectedly, when the calamity of the Nine Dynasties came, the Azure Heaven Sect was able to invite back four Supreme Elders of the Profound Heart Realm!
Not every sect that came to provide support possessed the Profound Heart Realm.

Moreover, this is a contingent sent to fight, and the Cangtian Sect must have a Xuanxin Realm Grand Cultivator stationed within it, just like the Taixuan Sect.

The Tai Xuan Sect could only send one Supreme Elder at the Profound Heart Realm. In terms of strength, the Tai Xuan Sect was indeed no match for the Cang Tian Sect.

Ji Chen's words plunged the hall into silence. Many elders wanted to refute him, but they were powerless to do so.

The Ji, Zhou, and Gu families are the three great families of the Taicang Dynasty, but in the context of the Nine Dynasties, they might not even be considered among the top three.

Lu Baitian took a deep breath, stared intently at Ji Chen, and asked, "Where is your Ji family ancestor? When will he arrive?"

Ji Chen replied, "I should be able to arrive in the next few days, but I've only found one of them."

Like religious sects, cultivators at the Profound Heart Realm from aristocratic families rarely stay within their families; instead, they travel far and wide in search of greater opportunities.

Lu Baitian looked at Zhou Yu, who immediately said, "The elders of the clan are unable to get away, but the clan leader is doing his best to persuade them. They should be able to invite a Xuanxin Realm expert within a month."

Lu Baitian frowned, feeling quite displeased, because one of the four Xuanxin Realm experts in the Cangtian Sect was surnamed Zhou.

He turned his gaze to the Zun Ge Gu Gua.

Gu Gu calmly replied, "It's hard to say. My clan elders have eccentric temperaments, and I can't be sure how many will come. But it is my Gu family's duty to contribute to the Nine Dynasties, and someone will definitely step forward."

Lü Baitian laughed.

An Hao, watching this scene from the side, was secretly amazed. This was the first time he had come into contact with the influence of the three major families.

Even a powerful sect leader has to be treated with respect.

Lu Baitian was domineering, but he was selective about who he dealt with. He could suppress the entire Chu family, but he had to be polite to the three great families.

Below the Profound Heart Realm, Lü Baitian is invincible, but because of the Ephemeral Flower Sect, it is now the Profound Heart Realm that is in charge.

"Once I become the sect leader, all the powerful families will have to listen to me!" An Hao secretly vowed.

In his view, Lü Baitian's predicament stemmed from his own lack of strength!
As long as he is strong enough, he will not be afraid of the opinions of any power!
Wu Jue didn't think too much about it, since he was now on the same side as the Zhou family. He just found the meeting noisy.

The longer the Ephemeral Flower Sect isn't destroyed, the greater the danger to the Tai Xuan Sect will be. Just then, an elder strode into the hall, holding a jade slip in his hand, and quickly said, "The sect has been attacked by the Profound Heart Realm cultivators of the Ephemeral Flower Sect!"

These words caused an uproar. An Hao frowned, thinking of his younger sister, An Xin.

Wu Jue clenched his fist, thinking of Gu An.

Lu Baitian asked, "How many of you are at the Profound Heart Realm?"

"One?"

"This is the information we have so far."

"That's alright. Even if Senior Kusong is no match for us, there's still Sword Venerable Fudao." Lu Baitian said with a smile, and his words dispelled the tense atmosphere.

One of the female elders couldn't help but mutter, "Will the Sword Master Fudao really make a move?"

Although the Sword Master Fudao has helped the Taixuan Sect several times, many people are still unsure whether he is a member of the Taixuan Sect due to his mysterious identity.

Especially when it concerns the safety of the sect.

……

Taixuan Gate.

Beneath the rolling thunderclouds, Crimson Venerable and Old Ancestor Dry Pine were still locked in a fierce battle. Each wielded a magical weapon and continuously unleashed spells, creating a powerful spectacle that caused the thunderclouds to surge violently.

Chi Qianzun was filled with confusion at this moment.

"Why hasn't the vice leader taken action yet?"

Although his cultivation level was higher than that of the Old Ancestor Kusong, they were both at the Profound Heart Realm, making it difficult for him to kill the Old Ancestor Kusong. Moreover, he also had to guard against the Sword Venerable Fudao making a move. As time went by, his confidence gradually turned into worry.

"what are you waiting for?"

The Old Ancestor of Dry Pine waved his whisk, and vast spiritual power condensed into thousands of cyan beams of light, which flew in different trajectories toward the Crimson Venerable, stretching for hundreds of miles, forcing the Crimson Venerable to dodge.

This first battle in the Profound Heart Realm was very difficult for Patriarch Kusong, but he could tell that the opponent was wary of others, so it was difficult for the opponent to concentrate on the battle.

The withered pine patriarch thought of the mysterious Sword Master Fudao.

Chi Qianzun did not answer. He suddenly changed direction and headed towards a certain outer city.

Old Master Kusong followed closely behind.

the other side.

Inside the Third Medicine Valley.

Gu An changed into a brand new robe, then went downstairs and came to Lu Lingjun's side.

Lu Lingjun entered a state of enlightenment again, her right hand resting on the wooden railing. Seeing this, Gu An also placed his hand on the railing.

Even at the Nirvana Realm, Gu An cannot change the fate of others, but for someone like Lu Lingjun, who already has one foot in the Profound Heart Realm, he can lend a helping hand and help her break through sooner.

Under his magical guidance, Lu Lingjun's spiritual power flowed into her heart, which also caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to quietly surge into her body.

At this moment, Gu An sensed something, looked up, frowned, and a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Chi Qianzun is approaching the Third Medicine Valley, or more precisely, the outer city.

"Where is the Sword Master Fudao? If you don't make a move soon, your fellow disciples will die in your sect!"

Chi Qianzun's voice rang out, filled with murderous intent, reaching the ears of the million disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect.

At the edge of the Heaven-Mending Platform, Ye Lan and a group of Law Enforcement Hall disciples stood guard in a corner. She looked up and saw thunderclouds churning in the sky, creating a so oppressive atmosphere.

She could sense that Chi Ganzun was approaching, and that terrifying pressure was growing stronger.

She unconsciously gripped the White Spirit Sword in her hand tighter.

There are thousands of cultivators on the Heaven-Mending Platform, but only a few are still sitting cross-legged calmly.

Sword Maniac Han Ming had already returned to the court. Zuo Lin stood beside his father, Zuo Yijian, and asked nervously, "Father, aren't we leaving yet?"

Holding the Investiture of the Gods, Zuo Yijian calmly asked, "Where can we go?"

"But……"

"Trust in the Sword Master Fudao."

Hearing his father's words, Zuo Lin wanted to yell, "You believe in the Investiture of the Gods, don't you!"
He really wanted to tear the Investiture of the Gods in Zuo Yijian's hand to shreds.

Gu An, far away in the Third Medicine Valley, had already covered the outer city with his divine sense, and his divine sense locked onto one person.

The decision is yours!

Zuo Yijian seemed to sense Zuo Lin's anger. He turned to the next page and said, "Lin'er, don't be hasty in times of trouble. A swordsman must always be calm..."

Just then, a precious sword placed beside him began to tremble violently, immediately attracting his attention.

A vast sword intent leaked from the sword, moving Zuo Yijian.

"This is……"

Zuo Yijian was so excited that he trembled all over, and he had completely forgotten about what he wanted to say to his son.
