Chapter 368: Today, I Jiang Qitian Enter the Demon and Become a Saint

On Qingyang Mountain, the commotion from Chen Taixu reaching the Sacred Realm was quite a spectacle.

The spiritual energy in the surroundings was all stirred up.

Even the mist enveloping Qingyang Mountain was dispersed by the overwhelming aura of Chen Taixu’s Sacred Martial Realm.

“Today, I, Chen Taixu, enter the Sacred Realm…”

His authoritative voice echoed throughout Qingyang Mountain, reverberating among the mountains.

All disciples of the Qingyun Sect were left dumbfounded.

Their Elder, Chen Taixu, had actually become a saint?

Liu Qingyun had already recognized Chen Taixu as the Elder of the Qingyun Sect.

That was definitely a wise move.

And look, Chen Taixu just broke through to Sacred Martial Realm, becoming a Sword Saint.

Now the Qingyun Sect had the backing of a Sword Saint, elevating it to the top tier of sword cultivation sects.

This is amazing!

Liu Qingyun could hardly believe how quickly the Qingyun Sect was rising.

It had been less than two years!

Incredible—so damn incredible.

Moreover, the current Qingyun Sect had unlimited potential.

Because his disciple, Ling Xian’er, was also a Half-Saint.

Nangong Hui was also a Half-Saint.

Both had a chance to break through to Sacred Martial Realm!

If they succeeded as well, the Qingyun Sect would have four powerful figures in the Sacred Realm.

Even the current Qingyang Sword Sect or Fuyiao Sword Sect wouldn’t stand a chance.

After all, even within Fuyiao Sword Sect, they didn’t have four saints sitting around.

In contrast to Chen Taixu’s flamboyance, Long Chen was extremely low-key.

So, everyone knew Chen Taixu attained sainthood today, but no one knew Long Chen did too.

Good thing too.

Otherwise, if people found out two saints emerged from Qingyun Sect today, the entire northern cultivation world would blow up!

After Chen Taixu became a saint, all the major sects quickly sent envoys to pay their respects.

Those forces occupying Qingyun Sect’s territory all surrendered their land.

Especially Guiyuan Martial Sect, who even sent people to apologize.

Taking advantage of the situation, Liu Qingyun extorted a hefty sum of spiritual stones from Guiyuan Martial Sect.

Other sects also presented generous gifts.

Before long, Qingyun Sect’s entrance was bustling with activity.

A Sword Saint had emerged from Qingyun Sect!

That’s right—a Sword Saint!

Chen Taixu didn’t show up.

Nobody dared interrupt him.

Of course, Xiao Yang was different; he could visit Chen Taixu anytime.

Qin Fei had planned to take action against Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang.

But when news of Chen Taixu’s sainthood broke, he changed his mind.

He sent Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang to Qingyang Mountain to scout the situation.

This time, Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang came as envoys from Qingyang Sword Sect.

“Senior Brother…”

“Boss…”

Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan were thrilled to see Xiao Yang.

The pills Xiao Yang had given them boosted their cultivation significantly.

They were very grateful to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang noticed Song Qiang had already reached the peak of Heavenly Martial Realm.

And Lin Wangchuan was now a formidable expert in Divine Martial Realm.

Even Lin Wangchuan’s purple-eyed spirit monkey had become a Ninth Level Spiritual Beast.

This little creature was perched on Lin Wangchuan’s shoulder, grinning at Xiao Yang.

“This little thing!”

Xiao Yang reached out to scratch the furry head of this little guy.

A Ninth Level Spiritual Beast’s strength is comparable to a Heavenly Martial Realm martial artist.

And a Ninth Level Spiritual Beast can square off against a Divine Martial Realm expert.

This little one has great potential.

“Boss, this is an invitation from Qin Fei for you.”

Lin Wangchuan pulled out an invitation and handed it to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang took the invitation and opened it.

“September 28, inauguration ceremony for the Sect Leader of Qingyang Sword Sect?”

Xiao Yang skimmed the contents of the invitation—Qin Fei was holding an inauguration ceremony for the Sect Leader?

He never expected Qin Fei would send him an invitation.

During the previous apprenticeship ceremony of Qingyang Sword Sect, they hadn’t sent an invitation or included them at all.

Now, this inauguration ceremony had Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang delivering an invitation?

What was going on?

Something was definitely up.

What was Qin Fei scheming?

Xiao Yang couldn’t guess.

But he had a hunch about why Qin Fei sent him an invitation.

It was probably because Chen Taixu had reached sainthood!

“Senior Brother, you aren’t actually considering attending Qin Fei’s inauguration, are you?”

Lin Wangchuan looked at Xiao Yang.

“If he, Qin Fei, dares to invite me, why shouldn’t I go?”

Xiao Yang put the invitation away.

“No, Senior Brother, aren’t you afraid Qin Fei’s up to something?”

Song Qiang said, shocked as he looked at Xiao Yang.

“Hmm, I want to see what tricks Qin Fei is planning.”

Xiao Yang smirked slightly.

“…”

Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang exchanged looks, both astonished.

Xiao Yang actually didn’t take Qin Fei seriously?

Right now, Qin Fei was a Half-Saint!

Meanwhile, Xiao Yang had just blown his dantian and became practically useless.

In their eyes, if Qin Fei wanted to kill Xiao Yang, it would be a piece of cake.

They vaguely felt that Qin Fei’s invitation to Xiao Yang for the inauguration was likely a trap aimed at him.

Lin Wangchuan and the others wanted to persuade Xiao Yang not to attend the inauguration.

But Xiao Yang just smiled and said nothing.

Since they hardly had time to meet lately, they chatted on the Back Mountain of Qingyun Sect.

Xiao Yang learned from Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang about the current state of Qingyang Sword Sect.

Xiao Yang couldn’t believe Qin Fei’s ambition was so great.

He realized Qin Fei aimed to become the Sect Leader of Qingyang Sword Sect.

What a big appetite—Qin Fei even wanted to set his sights on Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

That was the Yuanwu Immortal Domain, where the legendary will of the Dao resided.

No matter how clever or cunning Qin Fei was, he could never rattle the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

Let’s not forget, during the Thunder Marsh incident, even the leader of the immortal sects wasn’t a match for the will of the Dao in the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

Qin Fei aiming for Yuanwu Immortal Domain was destined for tragedy.

Meanwhile, the internal strife began within Qingyang Sword Sect.

Xiao Yang really didn’t expect that they were now dealing with internal conflict.

Qin Fei wanted to use the inauguration ceremony to announce to the entire northern cultivation world that he, Qin Fei, was now the Sect Leader of Qingyang Sword Sect.

…

While Xiao Yang was catching up with Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang, at the Six Paths Demon Palace, in the demon hall.

The Six Paths Demon Lord sat on his throne, looking down at Qin Fei.

“Please, Second Uncle, lend me your power once more.”

Qin Fei saluted the Six Paths Demon Lord on the throne.

“You need me to step in again?”

The Six Paths Demon Lord, Li Canghai, was holding a sword artifact.

This sword artifact was the Qingyun Sword he had snatched from Chen Taixu.

“Buzz!”

The Qingyun Sword suddenly let out a sharp cry, nearly slipping from Li Canghai’s grip.

He quickly employed his demonic power to suppress the Qingyun Sword.

On Qingyang Mountain, Liu Qingyun was activating the sword formation in the Qingyun Secret Realm, trying to summon the Qingyun Sword.

However, he failed once more.

The Qingyun Sword did not return.

“Is that Six Paths Demon Lord really capable of suppressing the Qingyun Sword?”

Liu Qingyun was astounded.

He would periodically activate the sword formation to summon the Qingyun Sword.

But he had failed each time.

At that moment, under Li Canghai’s suppression, the Qingyun Sword gradually calmed down in his hands.

“Second Uncle, I need you to kill someone…”

Qin Fei looked at the Six Paths Demon Lord on the throne, his gaze sharp and his expression serious.

The Six Paths Demon Lord looked at Qin Fei without saying a word.

…

Meanwhile, deep within the Demon Abyss, in a cave filled with gathered demonic energy.

A shadow of a demon flickered within the cave.

He was inhaling and exhaling demon qi.

Outside the cave stood a woman in a black robe.

“Jiang Qitian, don’t let me down!”

The woman in black spoke coldly.

From beneath the cloak, a pair of blood-red eyes shone.

She was the demoness from the demon clan who battled the Sect Holy Daughter that day.

It was because of her that Xiao Yang had a passionate encounter with the Sect Holy Daughter, ultimately leading her to acquire the innate Hongmeng Dao Embryo.

“To devour the demonic energy of the Demon Abyss and survive, you must become a Demon Saint.”

The black-robed demoness said indifferently.

“I, Jiang Qitian, will not disappoint my master!”

The voice of Jiang Qitian echoed from deep within the Demon Abyss.

Soon, the entire Demon Abyss was suffused with demonic energy, where countless demonic shadows flickered, struggling silently and roaring in silence.

It was like a dance of demons.

What’s going on?

The black-robed demoness outside the Demon Abyss was taken aback.

A powerful aura of demonic energy surged forth from within.

Suddenly, the accumulated demonic energy, gathered over endless years, began to rapidly converge towards the interior of the Demon Abyss.

A devouring force was born within the Demon Abyss.

This force was wildly consuming the demonic energy inside.

The Demon Abyss gathered the energies of countless powerful demons who fell during the ancient war between immortals and demons.

Demon Abyss, accurately named and not just a title.

The demonic energy here was not so easy to consume and refine.

However, Jiang Qitian was consuming the demonic energy frantically within that cave.

This went on for five days and nights.

Even the black-robed demoness was somewhat moved.

On the sixth day.

A thunderous roar erupted from within the Demon Abyss.

The next moment, all the accumulated demonic energy within the abyss was drained by Jiang Qitian.

A Demon Pill appeared at Jiang Qitian’s dantian.

His dantian had been destroyed by Long Chen, so logically, he should be a waste.

But incredibly, the endless demonic energy from the Demon Abyss had coalesced into a Demon Pill inside Jiang Qitian’s body, replacing his dantian.

The Demon Pill contained overwhelming demonic power.

“Today, I, Jiang Qitian, enter the demon and become a saint…”

With a roar, the entire Demon Abyss trembled from the immense power radiating from Jiang Qitian.

The Demon Abyss turned Jiang Qitian into a formidable force.

At this moment, Jiang Qitian’s killing intent was overwhelming as his blood-red eyes emitted a terrifying blood light.

“Long Chen, I will tear you to shreds!”

Jiang Qitian howled at the sky.

He was looking to settle the score with Long Chen.

Long Chen, oh Long Chen, twenty years ago, I could drive you away; now I can stomp you into the ground again.

“Haha…”

Jiang Qitian laughed maniacally.
