"Swallowing Heaven Saint Sect?"
When Xie Liuyun heard this name, his pupils subtly changed.
He seemed to recall some information Purple Sun Old Ancestor had mentioned earlier.
But he quickly composed himself, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and feigned nonchalance with a snort:
"Hmph, let them come, who's afraid of whom!"
Though his tone was hard, it couldn't hide a hint of imperceptible seriousness.
As the Demonic Technique successor's aura completely vanished, Lu Fan timely struck out with a spiritual fire, and the opponent's corpse instantly turned into ashes, dispersing into the blood-scented wind.
The battle ended.
The pervasive killing intent on the field dissipated, but an additional layer of gloom settled.
"Swallowing Heaven Saint Sect, I think Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect is more accurate, right?"
"What kind of Sect is this? Just by the name, it sounds very evil…"
Lu Fan frowned, muttering, his eyes flickering.
In reality, he was consulting the Encyclopedia Demon Lord in his mind.
This time, the Demon Lord was uncharacteristically silent, not responding.
He considered himself well-informed, but the name Swallowing Heaven Saint Sect was indeed something he had never heard of.
"It should be some Demonic Sect from overseas."
The Demon Lord could only offer his guess.
Just then, Lin Potian, who was panting heavily nearby, suddenly lifted his head.
On his rugged face, a corner of his mouth lifted:
"I know, I know the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect."
"You know?"
Lu Fan and Li Taiqing turned to look at him almost simultaneously, their eyes filled with disbelief.
In their usual impression, Lin Potian was a pure Body Cultivator fanatic, whose daily life, apart from tempering his Physical Body, strengthening his muscles and bones, and consuming Heaven And Earth Treasure, seemed to accommodate little else.
To put it nicely, he was brave but reckless; to put it bluntly, he was a brute.
"I really know!"
Seeing the undisguised suspicion on their faces, Lin Potian immediately grew anxious, feeling his long-established "reliable" image was being challenged.
He explained in a muffled voice: "A few days ago in the Kunlun Immortal Sect's Scripture Pavilion… hmm, while searching for ancient body-refining formulas, I accidentally saw this name."
"This is a super Demonic Sect on another continent, immensely powerful, with one Sect ruling over an entire continent, driving away many other Sects."
However, he didn't know the more specific details.
Xie Liuyun also took a deep breath of the cold air at this moment, his face grave as he took over the conversation, his voice low:
"Junior Brother Lin is right, the Swallowing Heaven Saint Sect is a behemoth, and an extremely terrifying Demonic Path Sect, but its strength is absolutely no less than my Kunlun Immortal Sect. Its demonic might shrouds an entire continent and the dangerous sea regions thousands of miles around it. It is a true Demonic Path giant!"
He paused, then continued:
"Of course, there's no need to easily believe what this person said. He might have just accidentally obtained the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect's Legacy."
But it's better to be safe than sorry.
The others exchanged glances, naturally understanding this principle.
If it truly was the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect's doing, it wasn't impossible.
Although the continent where the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect is located is far from the Nine Provinces Continent—so far that few people in Nine Provinces even know about this behemoth—the Immortal Cultivation world possesses many methods. Through long-distance teleportation arrays or special spatial Magic Treasures, one can quickly reach Nine Provinces.
"This matter is no small feat; we still need to inform the Old Ancestors about it."
"Hmm, I also need to tell Master when I go back. I have a bad premonition."
Li Taiqing nodded in agreement.
In reality, he felt that this person seemed to be acting with a plan. Although he died simply, it was clear that the opponent did not fear death.
It was more like a scout making reconnaissance.
He began to consider the worst-case scenario.
As a major power in the Central Province, the Kunlun Immortal Sect had no pressure in guarding its own territory. However, if the Shenxuan Sect were to suffer a calamity, only his Master could intervene.
But could they truly contend with this behemoth?
Nangong Wenjian silently wiped the stains from his sword's edge, gazing at the distant sky and the continuous mountain ranges, his heart filled with myriad emotions.
He had originally thought that the Dao of the Sword only required single-mindedness and unwavering forward progress.
Now it seemed that between heaven and earth, fortune and misfortune were intertwined, and Karma entangled, like an invisible giant net.
Even if you wished to remain aloof, the sweeping waves of calamity would drag you into the vortex.
Without sufficient strength, even living was a luxury.
…
Kunlun Immortal Sect, Ancient Scripture Pavilion.
Outside the window, a curtain of rain enveloped everything, and the air was damp and cold.
Inside the Ancient Scripture Pavilion, there was a unique scent of agarwood.
Tall bookshelves were stacked layer upon layer, upon which Jade Slips, bone books, and various other Legacy items emanated the wisdom accumulated over ten thousand years.
Many original copies of Cultivation Technique Legacies were here, of extremely high value.
Yet, these Kunlun Secret Codes, which could drive outside Cultivators mad, were like fleeting clouds in Han Xuanji's eyes.
Most of the Legacies within were open to him.
It was just that he found some of them unremarkable.
"System, sign in."
Han Xuanji silently chanted in his mind.
"Congratulations, Host, for successfully signing in at the Kunlun Scripture Pavilion. You have obtained the Cultivation Technique 'Kunlun Dao Scripture'."
The System's prompt sounded.
"Kunlun Dao Scripture: The fundamental Sect-guarding Cultivation Technique of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, containing the Dao of Yin and Yang and Five Elements, profound and unfathomable. Cultivate to Major Achievement, directly pointing to the True Immortal Realm."
"Directly pointing to the True Immortal Realm?"
Han Xuanji's heart was as still as an ancient well.
The Dao Scripture, which was enough to drive external Cultivators crazy, was instantly absorbed into his mind.
It must be said that the "Kunlun Dao Scripture" was profound and comprehensive, with a complete System, truly a top-tier Legacy in this realm.
However, compared to his primary Cultivation Technique, the "Grand Beginning Immortal Formula," it was still slightly inferior.
"Better than nothing."
Han Xuanji calmly evaluated in his mind.
The Divine Abilities and secret arts obtained through sign-ins over the years had already piled up like mountains.
"After signing in here for some time, it would be better to sign in elsewhere."
Han Xuanji mused to himself.
Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities should be refined, not numerous.
This was also why he had created his own Sword Dao Divine Ability after thoroughly integrating all of his Sword Dao knowledge.
However, the Kunlun Immortal Sect's foundation was not bad. Even if these Cultivation Techniques were not necessary to switch to or Master, they were enough for him to gain some insights and experience.
He planned to settle here for a while and perfect what he had learned.
Outside, the rain grew heavier, making a dull sound.
Suddenly.
Han Xuanji received a Jade Slip message from Li Taiqing.
Most of the content was about the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect's intelligence, as well as Li Taiqing's slight worries.
It must be said that this Demonic Sect was indeed terrifying, ruling over an entire continent and establishing extremely cruel rules.
On that continent, many people cultivated the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Technique. All those who cultivated the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Technique would regularly offer their cultivation and Lifespan to their superiors.
And at the top of the pyramid was the Swallowing Heaven Old Ancestor; even the powerful Ascended Immortal Cultivators within the Sect were merely pawns of the Swallowing Heaven Old Ancestor.
"This Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect certainly lives up to its name as a Demonic Sect. Cultivators are like cattle and sheep, and Mortals are like ants."
Han Xuanji pondered.
Fortunately, he did not live on that continent, otherwise, he might not even be able to lie low.
Although there were also negative aspects within the Shenxuan Sect, overall the atmosphere was good. At least Han Xuanji had managed to lie low for so many years, acting discreetly, and had not provoked anyone.
Han Xuanji had no worries about the threat of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect either.
How strong could Cultivators who cultivated such Demonic Techniques be?
…
On the other side.
Under the sky, a figure flew rapidly.
His aura was extraordinary, and upon arriving at the Shenxuan Sect, he startled many people.
