My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse

66 The Three Great Powers of Jiuzhou

Xuantian Sect.

After learning that Grand Elder Liu Qingming’s soul lamp had been extinguished, Great Elder Ji Beiming’s expression changed drastically. He immediately went looking for Sect Master Fu Tianque.

“Sect master, bad news! Grand Elder Liu Qingming’s soul lamp has extinguished!”

Hmm?

Hearing Ji Beiming’s words, Fu Tianque, who was in the middle of his cultivation, was instantly jolted awake.

A person’s death was equivalent to an extinguished lamp.

The soul lamp was an extremely mystical item. After being refined with a secret technique, a wisp of a living creature’s soul could be placed in the soul lamp, connecting it with one’s life. Once the soul lamp went out, it represented the death of the living being.

And now, Liu Qingming’s soul lamp had gone out, which meant that he was dead.

This news shocked Fu Tianque greatly.

After all, Liu Qingming was one of the grand elders of the Xuantian Sect who was in the Deva realm. The fact that he was killed showed how powerful the enemy was.

“This time, the grand elder had headed to Dayan city to look into the information regarding the Dayan Sect’s ancestral land from eight thousand years ago. Just now, there was news that they have already entered the Dayan ancestral land.”

“The soul lamp went out so quickly? It seems that there must be a great horror hidden in the Dayan ancestral land…”

Fu Tianque furrowed his brows in deep thought.

Liu Qingming’s death had a significant impact on the Xuantian Sect’s strength.

“Sect master, Su Tianxin of the Tianxin Sword Sect is also dead. Of the three people who entered the Dayan ancestral land, only Nan Batian managed to escape alive. According to the accounts of those who were present at the time, Nan Batian had been very flustered. They must have met with great terror in the Dayan ancestral land. As for the truth of the matter, I’m afraid only Nan Batian will know,” Ji Beixiao said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Fu Tianque nodded.

“We have to get to the roots of this matter. I will go to the Dari Demonic Sect in person later. Liu Qingming can’t die in vain.”

“Yes,” Ji Beixiao bowed and acknowledged.

He then left respectfully.

…

The same scene happened in the Tianxin Sword Sect.

Su Tianxin was dead?

After hearing this news, the leader of the Tianxin Sword Sect, Fan Qingtian, was shocked. His dignified face instantly became solemn, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

“A powerhouse of the Deva realm died without even knowing why. What exactly did they encounter in the Dayan ancestral land?” Fan Qingtian was extremely curious.

Whoosh!

After a moment’s thought, he immediately steered a spirit boat and rushed to the Dari Demonic Sect.

…

The atmosphere in the Dari Demonic Sect was heavy.

At this moment, Nan Batian was respectfully kneeling in front of the sect master, Qiao Yinyang. The fear and uneasiness that the three-headed demonic flood dragon had brought him had yet to completely calm down.

“I didn’t expect that after eight thousand years, the three-headed demonic flood dragon that the Dayan Sect raised in the past is still alive. Not only that, it even reached the Myth realm. From this, it can be seen that the destruction of the Dayan Sect was not due to enemies from the outside world. There has always been a rumor that the Dayan Sect was annihilated because of the Great Tribulation of High Heavens. Now, it seems that the rumor is basically credible. Since the three-headed demonic flood dragon is not dead, the Dayan Sect’s many resources and their sect-guarding treasure, the Dayan sword, must still be in the ancestral land.”

Qiao Yinyang’s eyes were bright.

He obviously had more information.

“Sect master, that three-headed demonic flood dragon has already reached the Myth realm. Its strength is comparable to a final-stage Myth realm powerhouse. It’s extremely terrifying. Unless we use an Extreme Dao spiritual weapon, I’m afraid we can’t kill him.”

At this moment, Nan Batian carefully suggested.

“I know what I’m doing. Oh right, other than you, the Xuantian Sect, and the Tianxin Sword Sect, there had been another person with the Imperial Dao soul essence who also entered the Dayan ancestral land. Now, Liu Qingming of the Xuantian Sect and Su Tianxin of the Tianxin Sword Sect are both dead. What about that mysterious man?” Suddenly, Qiao Yinyang asked the question he was most concerned about.

After learning about the Imperial Dao soul essence, he had already been extremely curious about the Mad Daoist’s identity and background. However, he did not act rashly because he was clueless about the other party.

How was the Mad Daoist now?

“Uh, this…”

At the mention of the Mad Daoist, Nan Batian was a little hesitant.

“Sect master, I’m not sure of the identity and background of the person who has the Imperial Dao Emperor’s Sword’s soul essence. After opening the Dayan ancestral land, we wanted to kill him, but he was prepared and managed to escape.”

“After that, when I encountered the three-headed demonic flood dragon, a mysterious person who liked to collect corpses he helped me block an attack, which fortunately allowed me to escape. Otherwise, I would’ve died in the Dayan ancestral land,” Nan Batian said with a lingering fear.

Huh? A mysterious person who liked to collect corpses?

Qiao Yinyang frowned slightly when he heard this.

“Why did that person help you?”

“This… I’m not sure. Maybe he wants to collect the three-headed demonic flood dragon’s corpse?” Nan Batian found a plausible explanation.

However, Qiao Yinyang scoffed at this.

“What does his wanting to collect the three-headed demonic flood dragon’s corpse have to do with saving you? Could it be that he must save you just to collect the three-headed demonic flood dragon’s corpse?”

“This…” Nan Batian did not know how to answer.

He didn’t know what Lin Wudao’s purpose was.

Qiao Yinyang was also puzzled, but he didn’t ask too much.

“Sect master, now that the Dayan ancestral land has been opened, if the Dayan Sect was really destroyed by the Great Tribulation of High Heavens eight thousand years ago, there must be many treasures and opportunities left behind. Should we make our move in time? Otherwise, I’m worried that the Xuantian Sect and the Tianxin Sword Sect…”

“Yes, I have my plans. Now that the Dayan ancestral land has been opened, all living beings can enter. That three-headed demonic flood dragon isn’t one to be trifled with, so I’ll be bringing the Dari Demonic Sect’s Extreme Dao spiritual weapon to personally suppress it,” Qiao Yinyang said in a deep voice.

What? The sect master wanted to go himself and was even going to bring the Extreme Dao weapon?

Nan Batian’s mind was greatly shaken.

...

As the sect master of the Dari Demonic Sect, Qiao Yinyang had already reached the mid-stage of the Myth realm. The sect-guarding treasure of the Dari Demonic Sect was also extremely powerful. If he went there in person, he would definitely be able to kill the three-headed demonic flood dragon.

At that time, all the treasures and opportunities in the Dayan ancestral land would belong to the Dari Demonic Sect.

“Ha!” As soon as he thought of that beautiful future, Nan Batian felt the blood in his body boil.

“Sect master, we have to hurry. There are still people in the Dayan ancestral land now. If they get the items first, we won’t get anything,” Nan Batian’s face was filled with anxiety.

Qiao Yinyang agreed, “I’ll go get the Extreme Dao spiritual weapon and head to the ancestral land of Dayan immediately.”

As he said that, he prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, along with a world-shaking aura, two bright rainbows arrived at the Dari Demonic Sect one after the other.

Looking closely, they were Fu Tianque and Fan Qingtian.

“Sect master, it’s the Xuantian Sect and the Tianxin Sword Sect. They’re definitely here for the Dayan ancestral land….”

Nan Batian’s expression changed drastically.

“I know. You go and settle them. I’ll be leaving first.”

...

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yinyang immediately activated his secret technique and disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, Nan Batian took a deep breath and immediately braced himself to welcome Fu Tianque and Fan Qingtian.
