Chapter 42: Lin Changkong Breaks Through to the Saint Emperor Realm

Lu Xunxian had no idea what Qin Guyue was thinking about him.

After arriving outside Chengtian City, he looked at Wangcai and said, “Go to the Primordial Sacred Land.”

He had not forgotten about the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor. Since the other party had already come knocking, then by all reason and sentiment alike, he ought to go and wipe him out.

Seated on Wangcai’s back, the two little ones had already begun cultivating.

As for Lu Xunxian, he closed his eyes and began cultivating Dream Return Through the Ages.

However, with his strength, although Dream Return Through the Ages was somewhat troublesome, he still mastered it in less than an hour.

“So that is how it works. This move truly is profound.”

Lu Xunxian thought to himself, an expression of surprise appearing on his face. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The Dream Return Through the Ages that Qin Guyue had displayed was only the bare surface of the technique. If Lu Xunxian were the one to use it now, he could reverse time by five thousand years, and even retrieve objects from the past without suffering too much backlash, whether they were large or small.

It could only be described as terrifying beyond measure.

At this moment, inside the Primordial Sacred Land, Ye Wushuang was fully focused on his game with Gu Feng.

“Checkmate!”

Gu Feng set down a single piece, declaring Ye Wushuang’s defeat.

Looking at the dead position on the board, Ye Wushuang’s face filled with frustration.

“I should not have made that move just now. A miscalculation.”

“I’m not playing anymore, I’m not playing anymore!”

After losing twenty-five games in a row, Ye Wushuang’s composure collapsed on the spot, and he packed away the board.

Seeing this, Gu Feng shook his head helplessly and changed the subject instead of saying anything further.

“Do you think Senior Lu will really come?”

At the mention of serious business, Ye Wushuang’s expression turned grave as well.

“He should. We both know Senior Lu’s strength. I will not say he is guaranteed to defeat the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor, but at the very least the odds would be three to seven in his favor. Given three shichen, he could kill the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor seven times over.”

Although he had never directly fought Lu Xunxian, judging from everything Lu Xunxian had shown, he did not believe Lu Xunxian would lose.

After thinking it over, Gu Feng felt that made sense as well.

Meanwhile, Lu Xunxian and the others were still on their way.

Outside the Primordial Sacred Land, the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor sat cross-legged ten thousand meters above the ground. Dense Demonic Qi shrouded a hundred-li radius, blotting out the sky and sun, and filled the atmosphere with crushing oppression.

Quite a few Righteous-Path Cultivators came to the Primordial Sacred Land and pleaded for it to act.

This gave Ye Wushuang quite a headache.

It was not that he was unwilling to act. If he could have easily exterminated the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor, he would have done so long ago.

But the problem was that this matter was extraordinarily difficult. If they fought the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor, devastation would surely spread everywhere.

So he could only leave this matter for Lu Xunxian to resolve.

As for them, they would cheer Lu Xunxian on and, at the same time, block some of the aftershocks so that the Central Plains would not be reduced to ruin.

Within Qingfeng Sacred Land, “Holy Lord, should we intervene?”

Inside the Sacred Hall, the elders of Qingfeng Sacred Land looked toward the solemn man in green robes seated in the Holy Lord’s seat and asked.

The fact that the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor had come to the Central Plains was no secret among the Sacred Lands. They had already learned of it long ago, but none of them had acted.

But now, the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor had remained outside the Primordial Sacred Land, stirring panic among the cultivators of the Central Plains.

That was why the elders of Qingfeng Sacred Land had gathered together to seek the Holy Lord’s decision.

The Qingfeng Holy Lord’s face darkened as he said, “Intervene? What are we supposed to use to intervene? That is the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor!”

“Even if our Qingfeng Sacred Land were twice as strong, we still would not be his match.”

“But Holy Lord, we can join forces with the other Sacred Lands. If we lead them, our standing in the Central Plains will surely rise to another level.”

One elder hesitated before speaking.

But the Qingfeng Holy Lord merely let out a cold snort, and a wave of pressure swept out, turning that elder’s face deathly pale.

“Do not bring up such matters again in the future. This Holy Lord does not wish to hear it.”

How could he possibly not have thought of what that elder had said? He had simply considered matters more far-sightedly.

If Qingfeng Sacred Land truly went to war with the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor, it would inevitably pay a grievous price.

Moreover, he knew full well that the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor had an immensely powerful patron in the Immortal Realm. Even the backer of Qingfeng Sacred Land in the Immortal Realm was deeply wary of that figure.

If they killed the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor, it would only bring a catastrophic disaster upon Qingfeng Sacred Land.

Just then, the heavens and earth within Qingfeng Sacred Land changed color. The Qingfeng Holy Lord’s expression changed drastically, and with a flicker of his body, he appeared above Qingfeng Sacred Land, his face grave as he looked toward the place where Lin Changkong was in Seclusion.

“I did not expect the Second Elder to attempt a breakthrough to the Saint Emperor Realm so soon. Pass down my order: everyone is to withdraw to ten thousand li beyond the Second Elder’s Cave Dwelling!”

For a time, the entire Qingfeng Sacred Land was thrown into chaos, but they finally managed to withdraw from within a ten-thousand-li radius of the Second Elder’s Cave Dwelling before the tribulation lightning descended.

The instant they withdrew, the Lightning Tribulation came crashing down.

And the Second Elder flew out of the Cave Dwelling, sword in one hand, utterly fearless before the Lightning Tribulation in the sky as he charged upward without hesitation.

“The Second Elder must succeed in crossing the tribulation.”

The Qingfeng Holy Lord’s expression was extremely grave as he silently prayed for Lin Changkong.

If Lin Changkong successfully broke through to the Saint Emperor Realm, then Qingfeng Sacred Land would gain one more Saint Emperor, bringing its total to a full twelve Saint Emperor experts.

At this moment, in the Primordial Sacred Land,

After traveling for quite some time, Lu Xunxian and the others finally arrived before the Primordial Sacred Land.

Looking at the dense Demonic Qi not far away, Lu Xunxian had already recognized the other party’s identity. It was the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor.

But he had no intention of fighting the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor just yet. His son and daughter were still beside him, and it would not do for them to witness a scene that was too bloody.

When Lu Xunxian brought them into the Primordial Sacred Land, he happened to see Ye Wushuang and Gu Feng speculating over whether he would come at all.

“I told you, how could Senior Lu possibly not come?”

The moment he saw Lu Xunxian arrive, Ye Wushuang revealed an expression that plainly said he had won the bet.

“Senior Lu.”

Gu Feng also hurriedly stood up and saluted Lu Xunxian with cupped fists.

But Lu Xunxian merely waved his hand and entrusted his son and daughter to the two of them.

“Daddy, where are you going?”

One of the little ones looked worried and hurriedly asked.

Lu Xunxian waved his hand. “Daddy is just going to deal with a small bit of trouble. I will be back very soon.”

Ye Wushuang and Gu Feng had also guessed what kind of trouble Lu Xunxian meant, and their expressions immediately turned grave.

“Senior Lu, are you confident of defeating the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor?”

“A bit.”

“Then I would advise Senior Lu not to kill the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor. As far as I know, he has a powerful patron in the Immortal Realm. If you kill him, I fear it will bring no small amount of trouble.”

A look of deep wariness appeared on Ye Wushuang’s face. Clearly, he knew that the backer behind the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor was rather terrifying.

That was also why, despite the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor having remained on Tiansheng Continent for so long, no one had dared to kill him.

But Lu Xunxian merely waved his hand. “It does not matter. If the patron behind him pursues the matter, then I shall simply eradicate that one as well.”

“You two watch over my son and daughter for me. I will return shortly.”
