Chapter 327

Chapter 327: I, Xiao Yang, Will Never Step into the Immortal Gate in This Life, I Swear to Slay the Immortal Lord!

The Immortal Gate Lord suddenly appeared, exuding oppressive power in all directions.

No one could stand against him.

Because the Immortal Gate Lord was undoubtedly one of the strongest entities in the entire Yuanwu Continent.

However, Xiao Yang never expected that this lofty figure from the Immortal Gate was actually just another hypocrite like Jiang Qitian and his ilk.

In order to ascend, the Immortal Gate Lord was willing to go to any lengths and intended to eliminate everyone present.

At that critical moment, the Immortal Dao Avatar descended.

Under the incredulous gazes of all, the Immortal Dao Avatar summoned the Futian Sword, which had sunk to the lake’s bottom, and with a gentle swing, severed the Immortal Gate Lord’s left arm.

The Immortal Dao Avatar pretended to swing the sword again.

The Immortal Gate Lord, terrified out of his wits, grabbed the unconscious Sect Holy Daughter and fled.

A beam of immortal light wrapped around the two, shooting into the sky and vanishing in an instant.

Xiao Yang felt a mixture of shock, anger, and urgency.

Without a second thought, he unleashed his sword light and gave chase.

The Immortal Gate Lord had taken his woman, and Yao Guang Shengnv was pregnant with his child.

However, when Xiao Yang ascended into the sky, the Immortal Gate Lord had already disappeared with the Sect Holy Daughter.

“Damn it!”

Xiao Yang roared in fury.

“Swish!”

At that moment, a figure appeared beside him.

Xiao Yang turned to look.

It was a hazy silhouette; although it was clear she was a woman, her features remained indistinguishable.

She was the Immortal Dao Avatar.

“Why didn’t you kill him!”

Xiao Yang yelled at the Immortal Dao Avatar.

The Immortal Gate Lord had snatched Yao Guang Shengnv away, completely unnerving him.

Because Yao Guang Shengnv was carrying his child.

“You have eighteen years.”

The ethereal voice of the Immortal Dao Avatar resonated in Xiao Yang’s mind.

She handed him the Futian Sword.

“What?”

Xiao Yang paused in confusion.

“What do you mean? Eighteen years?”

Xiao Yang was baffled.

The most important thing now was to save her.

He was about to ask the Immortal Dao Avatar for help, but the next moment, she dissipated like a wisp of smoke into the void, as if she had never been there.

“What…”

Xiao Yang was taken aback. What was going on?

The Futian Sword fell downward.

Xiao Yang hurriedly reached out and caught it.

“Despicable, shameless Immortal Gate Lord…”

Xiao Yang gritted his teeth, gripping the Futian Sword tightly, his rage boiling over.

“That Tie Kuangtu is one of the Immortal Gate people…”

With that thought, Xiao Yang turned and dove back down.

At this moment, the center island of Thunder Marsh was already in ruins.

Feng Xuan’s painstakingly managed Thunder Forbidden Domain had been destroyed.

All the formations here were in tatters.

When Xiao Yang descended, Feng Xuan had long since vanished.

Only Tie Kuangtu awaited Xiao Yang.

The battle at Thunder Marsh had shaken the heavens.

Even those outside Thunder Marsh were stirred.

The area around Thunder Marsh was part of the Southern Region in the Northern Frontier.

Here was the territory of the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

The entire Northern Frontier was divided into five regions: East, South, West, North, and Central.

The Yuanwu Immortal Domain was located in the Central Region.

The Southern Region was originally the realm of the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

However, in this year’s grand competition, the Guiyuan Martial Sect had suffered misfortune, getting directly kicked out of the Northern Frontier’s top ten sects.

As a result, most of the cultivation resources in the Southern Region no longer belonged to the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

Of course, the Guiyuan Mountain, where the Guiyuan Martial Sect’s headquarters lay, remained their domain.

Despite being ousted from the top ten sects of the Northern Frontier, the Guiyuan Martial Sect had only lost the cultivation resources and territories awarded to them by the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

Their fundamental territory still belonged to them.

At the signs of chaos in Thunder Marsh, the Guiyuan Martial Sect’s people quickly appeared outside.

But no one dared to step lightly into Thunder Marsh.

The few young people who had escaped from it were already scared out of their minds.

Powerful figures roamed outside Thunder Marsh.

Once the battle ended, Thunder Marsh gradually returned to calm.

On a low mountain beside Thunder Marsh, Xiao Yang and Tie Kuangtu exchanged discussions for a long time.

Tie Kuangtu then left.

Xiao Yang sat on a large stone, feeling heavy-hearted.

Tie Kuangtu could no longer return to the Immortal Gate.

Because Tie Kuangtu would soon become a traitor of the Immortal Gate, hunted down by them.

The same went for Feng Xuan.

Upon returning to the Immortal Gate, the Immortal Lord would definitely send trusted subordinates to hunt them down.

Feng Xuan had left Thunder Marsh and hidden away.

Tie Kuangtu would also need to keep a low profile.

The Immortal Lord did not know who Xiao Yang was.

This meant Xiao Yang didn’t have to worry about the Immortal Gate coming after him.

Xiao Yang also learned some things about the Immortal Gate from Tie Kuangtu.

The Immortal Gate was undoubtedly the most powerful force in the Yuanwu Continent.

Experts filled the Immortal Gate, all of them cultivators pursuing immortality.

Whether through martial arts cultivation or other paths, those from the Immortal Gate were in pursuit of immortality and ascension.

Xiao Yang felt quite embarrassed.

In both his past life and this life, his horizons had been too narrow.

While those in the Immortal Gate aimed for transcendence and ascension, he had been fixated merely on his own small patch of land.

Just because he could cultivate to the Sacred Martial Realm and become a Sword Saint, he thought he was invincible.

Who would have thought that beyond the Northern Frontier, there was a vast and boundless world.

In this life, he needed to broaden his view.

According to Tie Kuangtu, the Sect Holy Daughter Jiang Yaoguang should be safe.

At least for the next eighteen years, both the Holy Daughter and their child would be fine.

After all, the Holy Daughter was carrying the Innate Primordial Dao Body.

This physique was simply extraordinary.

What Innate Dao Body, what Chaos Holy Body, what True Phoenix Immortal Body, or even Five Elements Overlord Body, and True Sun Holy Body—before the Innate Primordial Dao Body, they were all trash.

The Immortal Gate Lord wanted to use the Innate Primordial Dao Body to ascend to the Heavenly Realm.

Yet to truly nurture the Innate Primordial Dao Body, it would take at least ten to twenty years, or even dozens or hundreds of years.

Even under the most ideal conditions, eighteen years would be needed for the Innate Primordial Dao Body to mature.

So, Xiao Yang still had eighteen years.

“Eighteen years…”

Xiao Yang got up from the stone.

“I, Xiao Yang, will never step into the Immortal Gate in this life; I swear to slay the Immortal Lord and will not bow to anyone!”

Xiao Yang roared skyward, his voice shaking the air.

…

Meanwhile, in the Central Land.

The Immortal Lord returned to the Immortal Palace with Yao Guang Shengnv.

No one knew where the Immortal Palace was.

Only the Inner Disciples of the Immortal Gate were qualified to enter the Immortal Palace to cultivate.

The first thing the Immortal Lord did upon returning was enter seclusion to heal.

The terrifying sword energy that had invaded his body kept corroding his life force.

He imprisoned Yao Guang Shengnv.

Before going into seclusion, he summoned a mysterious assassin from the Immortal Gate.

A hazy, ethereal figure appeared before the Immortal Lord.

“Immortal Lord, you…”

When the assassin saw the Immortal Lord in a miserable state, he couldn’t help but be shocked.

One of the Immortal Lord’s arms had been severed.

How could anyone injure the Immortal Lord?!

“No way.”

“Go to the Northern Frontier and bring me the heads of Tie Kuangtu and that Phoenix clan remnant.”

The Immortal Lord commanded.

“Understood…”

The assassin acknowledged, then retreated.

“Finding the right opportunity without looking for it, and with the Innate Primordial Dao Body, I can ascend!”

Even though the Immortal Lord was heavily injured, it was worth it.

He initially intended to raise the Sect Holy Daughter, hoping she would provide pure Yin Immortal Qi to help him balance Yin and Yang, seize the world’s transformation, and break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm, transcending space to ascend to the Heavenly Realm.

Who would have thought that both generations of Holy Daughters he cultivated had lost their virginity and pure Yin Immortal Qi?

This made him spit blood in anger.

The last generation was like this, and so was this one.

But now it was different.

This time, he must ascend.

No one could stop him from ascending.

Soon, the Immortal Gate’s assassin quietly left this ethereal place.

…

At this moment, in the Northern Frontier.

Xiao Yang had also left Thunder Marsh.

Even though Feng Xuan had departed, Thunder Marsh was still filled with danger.

The three holy beasts had also been taken by Feng Xuan.

As soon as Xiao Yang donned his mask and exited Thunder Marsh, he was intercepted.

“Chu Lingxiao?”

Xiao Yang’s gaze pierced through the mask, fixing on the familiar figure across from him.

Chu Lingxiao was a Half Saint of the Chu family from the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

Xiao Yang had seen him before in the North Mountain earth veins of Yuanlong City.

He remembered this guy had a crush on Li Chenyu from the Fuyiao Sword Sect.

But Li Chenyu paid him no mind at all.

However, Chu Lingxiao was undeterred; despite being turned down countless times, he remained infatuated.

This guy was quite an interesting character.

“You actually recognize me?”

Chu Lingxiao looked coldly at the masked figure.

“The lovesick fool of the Guiyuan Martial Sect, who doesn’t know you?”

Xiao Yang teased.

“Take off your mask and let me see who you really are.”

Chu Lingxiao said in a deep voice.

“Take it off, huh?”

Xiao Yang chuckled lightly.

“Very well, this is your own doing.”

Chu Lingxiao stepped forward, throwing a punch at Xiao Yang.

As he unleashed this punch, it pulled the surrounding spiritual energy, transforming into a massive tortoise-like shadow that charged at Xiao Yang with unstoppable force.

When a Half Saint strikes, it’s no joke.

However, Xiao Yang casually placed his left hand behind his back, raised his right hand, and pointed forward.

A sharp sword qi cleaved the rushing tortoise shadow in two.

The sword qi that shot up from Xiao Yang’s fingertip continued toward Chu Lingxiao, undiminished.

“What?”

Chu Lingxiao was taken aback.

The opponent’s swordsmanship was formidable!

After all, the punch he struck was the Guiyuan Divine Fist of the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

This person had easily sliced through his Guiyuan Fist power.

“Who exactly are you?!”

Chu Lingxiao was no longer dismissive.

“Tell your Holy Son to come see me.”

Xiao Yang said nonchalantly.

“What? You dare to be so arrogant?!”

Chu Lingxiao was instantly furious.

“That’s absurd…”

With a flip of his right hand, a beam of sword light surged toward Xiao Yang, aimed to shred him.

The fierce sword qi stirred the surroundings, sending dust flying.

“Humph!”

Xiao Yang extended his right hand and grabbed the incoming flying sword.

“What?!”

Chu Lingxiao was genuinely astonished.
