"Could it be that someone is retaliating against our Ghost Gu Sect? Wait, when did our Ghost Gu Sect provoke cultivators from other realms?" Ghost Fiend calmed down and fell into deep thought.
About three minutes later, the ghost's expression changed.
"Tianlan Mountains? Oh, that must be it. That makes sense. Ghost Shadow and the other two, along with some disciples, said they were going to the Southern Frontier to participate in the war between the two domains, and that they wanted to hunt down cultivators from the Nine Heavens Domain to refine the Myriad Ghost Banner. That must be it. Damn it, who dares to disregard the agreement between the two holy lands and cross the domain to retaliate? You wait, I will definitely find you." This Ghost Fiend had already connected the dots to the Tianlan Mountains.
In truth, Lin Aoxue wasn't ruthless enough. She should have killed all the mortals from the Southern Frontier as well. That way, Gui Sha and the others wouldn't have been able to connect it to the Nine Heavens Domain.
Unfortunately, Lin Aoxue was not the kind of person who would indiscriminately kill innocent people; she couldn't bring herself to kill ordinary people.
Ghost Fiend immediately reported what happened at the Ghost Gu Sect to the Gu Spirit Holy Land. The Gu Spirit Holy Land's status in the Gu God Domain was much higher than that of the Nine Heavens Holy Land in the Nine Heavens Domain.
About an hour later, in the Gu God Domain, Holy Gu Mountain Range.
This is a sea of flowers covered with a large number of purple blossoms. This is where the Gu Spirit Holy Land is located. This place is very beautiful, completely different from the atmosphere of the Western Frontier Ghost Domain. It seems that the Gu Spirit Holy Land has a preference for purple.
At this moment, in an exquisite palace in the Gu Ling Holy Land, a beautiful woman dressed in a light purple gauze and adorned with gold jewelry was lazily reclining on the Holy Lord's throne, listening to a report from a cultivator below.
"Reporting to the Holy Lord, the Third Elder of the Ghost Gu Sect in the Western Frontier, Ghost Fiend, just sent a message saying that their Ghost Gu Sect was wiped out by an unknown Nirvana Realm expert," a middle-aged man and woman said, bowing.
The Holy Master of the Gu Spirit Holy Land is named Yue Xun, a powerful expert at the Nirvana Thunder Tribulation Realm, and a woman who appears very elegant and noble.
Upon hearing this, Yue Xun, who had been feeling lazy, immediately opened her eyes and looked at her subordinate.
"Oh? Is that so? Who did it?" Yue Xun quickly sat up straight and asked with a frown.
"This? It's not clear yet, but according to Gui Sha's account, the other party is probably not a cultivator from our Gu God Domain. She is dressed as a cultivator from another domain and is a woman, but he doesn't know which cultivator she is. However, the other party only destroyed the entire Ghost Gu Sect and did not kill mortals, so he thinks that she must have come to take revenge on their Ghost Gu Sect."
"Moreover, their Ghost Gu Sect is located in the Ghost Domain of the Western Frontier and rarely goes out. If they offend cultivators from other domains, it is only possible that the cultivators they sent to the Tianlan Mountains in the Southern Frontier provoked powerful figures from the Nine Heavens Domain or the Myriad Spirits Domain, and their powerful figures infiltrated the Western Frontier and destroyed the Ghost Gu Sect," the middle-aged man from the Gu Spirit Holy Land replied.
After listening to her subordinate's report, Yue Xun fell into deep thought.
“I understand the possibilities. You may leave now. I will inquire with the Nine Heavens Holy Land of the Nine Heavens Domain and the Myriad Spirits Holy Land of the Myriad Spirits Domain to see if it was their cultivators who did it. If it was their cultivators, then this matter cannot be left unresolved,” Yue Xun said.
This blatant breach of the agreement and attack on their Gu God Domain sect is something Yue Xun cannot tolerate, regardless of the reason. It is a challenge to the dignity of their Gu Spirit Holy Land.
After receiving the order, the middle-aged man immediately nodded and turned to leave. After he left, Yue Xun immediately took out two cross-domain identity communication tokens, one from the Nine Heavens and the other from the Myriad Spirits Domain.
Yue Xun slightly raised her hand and unleashed a burst of power towards the two tokens. Soon, a sound came from the other side of the two tokens.
"What brings you here, Fellow Daoist Yuexun?" This was the voice of the Nine Heavens Holy Lord.
As for the other voice, it seemed less welcoming to Yue Xun, appearing quite impatient.
"Yue Xun, why did you suddenly contact this Holy Lord? I don't have time to waste words with you. There's no point in talking to you." The Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Spirits said unhappily.
Yue Xun seemed to have gotten used to the Lord of Ten Thousand Spirits' impolite attitude and didn't take it seriously at all, continuing to speak to herself.
"Fellow Daoist Jiutian, may I ask if any experts from your Jiuxiao Domain, at the Nirvana Realm, have secretly infiltrated our Gu God Domain to retaliate against our sects?" Yue Xun asked directly.
Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens, who was currently in the Holy Lord's Palace of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, looked on with surprise.
"What do you mean by that, Fellow Daoist Yuexun? Has something happened?" asked the Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens.
Yue Xun quickly recounted what had happened in their Gu God Domain.
What was the Nine Heavens Holy Lord's reaction after hearing this? He believed that it was impossible for people from their Nine Heavens Holy Land to do this, because the Nirvana cultivators of their Nine Heavens Domain were basically under the control of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
As far as he knew, no Nirvana cultivator had left the Nine Heavens Domain without permission.
"Really? A medium-sized sect in your Gu God Domain was wiped out? But what does this have to do with my Nine Heavens Domain?" the Nine Heavens Saint Lord continued to ask.
Yue Xun described the other party's general appearance, and the Nine Heavens Holy Lord immediately smiled after hearing it.
“Fellow Daoist Yuexun, I can assure you that it was definitely not done by cultivators from our Nine Heavens Domain. Of course, I will also ask them if it was one of their people who did it,” the Nine Heavens Saint Lord replied.
Seeing the Nine Heavens Saint Lord's very certain attitude, Yue Xun was confused for a moment about whether it was a cultivator from the Nine Heavens Domain who did it. However, she then asked the Myriad Spirits Saint Lord of the Myriad Spirits Domain, but the Myriad Spirits Saint Lord still denied it.
Moreover, he was much tougher than the Nine Heavens Holy Lord. He simply said, "If you think this is the work of cultivators from our Myriad Spirits Domain, then produce the evidence. Without evidence, I will not admit it."
The Myriad Spirits Domain and the Gu God Domain have interacted quite frequently, so the Holy Lord of the Myriad Spirits Domain doesn't give Yue Xun any face at all.
After severing his connection with Yue Xun, the Nine Heavens Holy Lord still symbolically sent an inquiry message to the other Nirvana cultivators.
But actually, even if someone did do such a thing, they wouldn't admit it.
Before long, all the Nirvana Realm experts in the Nine Heavens Domain replied to the Nine Heavens Holy Lord, all saying the same thing: this matter was irrelevant to them.
"Hmph! Everyone says it has nothing to do with them, but could it be that cultivators from our Gu God Domain are impersonating your people and framing you? This Holy Lord will definitely find out who it is." Yue Xun sneered.
Yue Xun thought for a moment, then took out the sect's communication token and said something to it. In order to find out who did it, she sent a Reincarnation Realm expert to the Ghost Gu Sect to investigate the situation.
Sending a cultivator at the Reincarnation Realm to investigate the situation will definitely uncover something, because cultivators at the Reincarnation Realm have mastered certain time laws and can reverse time and space in a certain area for a certain period of time. Of course, they can only see the time in that area reverse, not actually rewind time.
As the Holy Lord of the Myriad Spirits Domain said, you have to provide evidence to prove that it was our people who did it before I can admit it. If there is no evidence at all, and you just say that it was our people who did it, who can accept that?
After all, the Divine Continent is so vast, and their Eastern Continent alone has many cultivation areas, most of which have cultivators whose styles are similar to those of the Nine Heavens Domain and the Myriad Spirits Domain.
The reincarnation expert from the Gu Spirit Holy Land arrived quickly. She was a female cultivator wearing a purple veil. Upon arrival, she immediately used the Law of Reincarnation to reverse time in the area of the Ghost Gu Sect.
This reversal actually allowed her to see the events leading up to and following the destruction of the Ghost Gu Sect.
Strangely, she couldn't see Lin Aoxue; the spot where Lin Aoxue stood was completely empty. She could only see the Qinghui Sword Spirit annihilating the Ghost Gu Sect.
"Was it the spirit of a Heaven-Rank magic weapon that made the move? Then there should be a master nearby, right?" The reincarnation expert from the Gu Spirit Holy Land muttered with some doubt.
However, she couldn't find anyone no matter what she did, and in the end, she could only remember the energy fluctuations of this Heavenly Rank magic treasure before returning to the Gu Spirit Holy Land to report.
As for the instigator, Lin Aoxue has already returned to the Tianlan Mountains and arrived at the headquarters of their Taishang Ganying Sect in the Tianlan Mountains.
Another week later...
As soon as Lin Aoxue returned to the base camp, Tai Lin summoned her.
"Xuanmiao, where have you been all this time? Why can't I get in touch with you?" Tai Lin asked suspiciously.
Lin Aoxue would never tell Tai Lin that she had gone to the Gu God Realm.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Tailin. I had a sudden realization and went to a quiet place to meditate on my cultivation technique. I'm sorry to have worried you," Lin Aoxue replied.
Tai Lin didn't think much of it after hearing this explanation.
"Alright, by the way, were you the one who killed the Ghost Gu Sect cultivators who were besieging Elder Geng?" Tai Lin asked.
After all, Lin Aoxue had already left when he went there last time, so he definitely needed to ask her in person.
"Yes, it's a pity we arrived too late and couldn't save Elder Geng," Lin Aoxue said with some helplessness.
Tai Lin also sighed.
“You’ve been in the Tianlan Mountains for almost a month now. It’s time to go back and see your daughter, rest for a while, and then come back,” Tai Lin suggested.
Lin Aoxue had originally planned to go back, and this time she came back to say hello to Tailin.
"Understood." Lin Aoxue said and then turned and left.
As soon as Lin Aoxue left, Tai Lin stared at her retreating figure, lost in thought.
"It can't be that coincidental, can it? The Ghost Gu Sect just killed a Nascent Soul cultivator from our Supreme Induction Sect, and a few days later, their Ghost Gu Sect was wiped out. And Xuanmiao just happened to disappear during this time. Could it be her? With her personality, she really could do something like that. But, with her cultivation level, could she really wipe out a medium-sized sect? That shouldn't be possible," Tai Lin muttered to himself.
Chapter 546 Nirvana Tribulation (5000 words + 1000 monthly votes bonus chapter)
Tai Lin's suspicion was entirely correct, but unfortunately he had no evidence. Why did he think Lin Aoxue did it? It was because after Lin Aoxue killed the two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ghost Gu Sect, she disappeared.
The claim that she went into seclusion is pure nonsense. Given Lin Aoxue's status, if she suddenly disappeared, Tai Lin would definitely report it to the sect immediately and inquire whether Lin Aoxue had returned.
However, the reply he received was that Lin Aoxue had not returned to the Supreme Response Sect. So Tai Lin sent people to search for Lin Aoxue in various areas of the Tianlan Mountains. He even used the tracking magic weapon that the Supreme Response Sect used to track the identity tokens of its disciples.
However, the final conclusion was that Lin Aoxue was no longer in the Tianlan Mountains. Since she was not in the Tianlan Mountains and had not returned to the Taishang Ganying Sect, and the magic artifact showed that Lin Aoxue was far away from them at the time, Tai Lin concluded that Lin Aoxue might have gone to the Gu God Domain.
Of course, all of this is just speculation, and there is no evidence at present. Lin Aoxue is not afraid of being found out by the sect. She believes that even if the Supreme Response Sect knows that she went to the Gu God Domain to kill people, they will just pretend that they know nothing.
Tai Lin immediately informed Li Bai and the others of Lin Aoxue's return, and they breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
So he told Ye Liuyun the news, and Ye Liuyun had been quite worried these past few days.
However, on this very day, a major event occurred in the Supreme Response Sect. A golden light shot into the sky from a certain point on Heavenly Dao Peak, at the place where the Heavenly Ancestor was in seclusion.
After the golden light disappeared into the clouds, it spread out a vast power of law. This power seemed to have mobilized the power of heaven and earth, and a large area of dark clouds gathered towards the location of Heavenly Dao Peak.
"Huh? This aura... Could it be that Master is about to break through to the Nirvana Realm?" Upon sensing this aura, Li Bai hurriedly flew out of the main hall and looked towards the location where his master was in seclusion.
Elder Tianmu and other powerful figures gathered around Li Bai, watching the location where the golden light appeared.
"Hahaha... Senior Brother, oh no, Senior Sister is finally about to break through to the Nirvana Realm! That's wonderful!" Elder Tianjian said with a happy expression.
Li Bai immediately issued orders to everyone on Tiandao Peak.
"Everyone inside Heavenly Dao Peak, leave the area immediately. The old sect leader is about to break through his cultivation level; we don't know what might happen," Li Bai commanded.
Upon hearing this, the disciples of Tiandao Peak, regardless of what they were doing, immediately flew out of Tiandao Peak.
Because Ancestor Tianyi is about to undergo Nirvana Tribulation, the scope of the impact will definitely be very large. If they stay on Tiandao Peak, Li Bai is worried that they will be affected by the tribulation.
But in reality, his worries were unnecessary, as the Nirvana Heavenly Tribulation is different from the Thunder Tribulation.
Soon, Tiandao Peak was deserted.
Meanwhile, the leaders of the other factions and the cultivators of the Transformation Realm rushed to the edge of Heavenly Dao Peak to watch Ancestor Tianyi undergo his tribulation. He was the first cultivator from their Supreme Induction Sect to reach the Nirvana Realm since its founding ancestor.
They might gain some insight from watching this from here.
Ye Liuyun, carrying Xiao Qingxue, sat on Liusu's back and carried Nalan Yan and Nalan Rou to the edge of Tiandao Peak.
"Haha, I didn't expect that little loli Tianyi would actually break through to the Nirvana Realm." Ye Liuyun teased.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Pfft! I say, Sister Liuyun, only you dare to call the old sect leader 'little loli'," Nalan Yan said.
"Huh? What do you mean I'm the first? The first person to call the old sect leader 'little loli' was the Taibai Sect Leader. I was just copying him, okay? Besides, doesn't the old sect leader look just like a little employee loli? I didn't say anything wrong." Ye Liuyun quickly retorted.
These words left Nalan Yan speechless.
Those who follow the Taishang Ganying Sect generally know that Li Bai has always been disrespectful to elders. Even though he is an elder, once you spend a lot of time with him, it is impossible to talk to him with the attitude of an elder.
His main idea is to do whatever he wants. Back when Tianyi Laozu was still an old man, he taught Li Bai a lesson countless times, but the result was that Li Bai said a sentence: "My way is to be carefree and unrestrained. Only in this way can I move forward without retreating."
Since Li Bai had already said so, the old ancestor of that day was naturally at a loss.
"Boom, boom..." Thunderclouds quickly began to gather in the sky, and the lightning rolled in the dark clouds like thunder serpents.
But immediately, the dark thunderclouds turned into fiery clouds like flames, and the Nirvana Tribulation was not so easy to overcome.
However, Li Bai believed that his master was fine, after all, his master had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm for many years and had a profound foundation.
The Nirvana Realm emphasizes comprehension; those with strong comprehension may directly reach the Yin-Yang Realm. This depends on how much experience and understanding of the laws that Ancestor Tianyi has accumulated over the years.
Ancestor Tianyi possesses a top-grade golden spiritual root, so the Nirvana Heavenly Tribulation will definitely bring down a specific calamity. One must die once in the Nirvana Secret Realm, and whether one can be reborn after death depends on the will of Heaven.
As the fiery clouds gathered, a long, drawn-out bird call echoed from within them, and a terrifying firebird, its entire body wreathed in flames, flew out from the clouds.
The firebird let out a sharp roar towards the location where the Heavenly Ancestor was in seclusion below. After this roar, the Heavenly Ancestor seemed to be ready. She suddenly opened her eyes and then flew towards the sky following the golden light.
She stared at the terrifying firebird. Fire was her nemesis, but since she was to be reborn, she had to be prepared to fight to the death.
"Boy, I'm leaving. If I die, the Supreme Response Sect will be yours." Ancestor Tianyi left these words, then took a deep breath and flew towards the firebird. Upon seeing Ancestor Tianyi arrive, the firebird also flew into the sky immediately.
He carried the Heavenly Ancestor out of the sky and into the vast universe.
Under normal circumstances, one cannot fly out of the Divine Continent without reaching the Nirvana Realm. However, a cultivator who breaks through the Nirvana Realm is almost equivalent to possessing the power of the Nirvana Five Elements Realm, and has the ability to leave this world.
The power of this Nirvana Heavenly Tribulation is too great; the Heavenly Dao usually takes those undergoing tribulation to the outer heavens to undergo it.
Li Bai watched his master fly away, and his expression suddenly became tense, after all, there was a 50% chance of death in the Nirvana Tribulation.
"Old man, you must try your best, don't embarrass yourself," Li Bai prayed in his heart.
The fact that Ancestor Tianyi is undergoing his tribulation has certainly attracted the attention of all Nirvana cultivators in the Nine Heavens Domain.
"This aura... Is this the old ghost Tianyi of the Supreme Response Sect about to undergo tribulation? She's been stuck at this realm for almost two thousand years, hasn't she? If she doesn't break through soon, she'll pass away. I never expected that at this moment when her lifespan is about to end, she would bring about a turning point." Some Nirvana cultivators of the same generation as Ancestor Tianyi exclaimed.
Among the cultivators in the Transformation Realm, Ancestor Tianyi is quite old, which is rather strange. Back then, Ancestor Tianyi was considered a top genius, and many of her contemporaries broke through to the Nirvana Realm.
So this is often not a matter of aptitude; it might just be a lack of understanding or being blocked by something.
The reason why Ancestor Tianyi was unable to break through was because her mind was not clear; she had too many worries in her heart.
One of the things that troubled her the most was the destruction of the Heavenly Sect back then. In fact, from her perspective, she was unwilling to do it back then, since the Heavenly Sect was once a part of their Supreme Response Sect.
His original idea was to capture all the powerful members of the Heavenly Sect and bring them back to the Supreme Response Sect to persuade them to return to the fold. Unfortunately, although her idea was good, Lin Junxian disagreed no matter what.
Furthermore, the destruction of the Heavenly Sect was not actually due to the Heavenly Sect concealing the fact that it had many Nascent Soul cultivators. In fact, what truly led to the destruction of the Heavenly Sect was that it had actually colluded with the Reverse Immortal Alliance.
In that era, the crackdown on evil and heretical sects was extremely severe. Anyone who was associated with the Rebellious Immortal Alliance had to die; this was a rule of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
It's not impossible that Lin Junxian would get involved with the Reverse Immortal Alliance; he has reasons to do so.
