Chapter 323: 322. A Second-Rank Opportunity, The Purple Micro Cosmos Sword (Part 1)

Even someone as experienced as Wei Ancheng was taken aback by the sudden turn of events, leaving him a little dazed.

"Shu Mountain Sword Art?! No, that's not it, this is..."

Not only was Lei Jun's sword art from the Talisman Sect beyond Wei Ancheng's expectations, but its power also far exceeded his predictions.

This young Taoist priest was truly ruthless, remaining calm and collected during his previous encounter with Li Yan, which may have been witnessed by many outsiders. Now, under the cover of the Extreme Yin Tide, he revealed his true strength... Wei, the leader of the sect, who was also accustomed to scheming, felt a sense of shame and inferiority at this moment.

Compared to this Taoist priest from the Celestial Master's Mansion, Wei Ancheng could consider himself open and upright.

If he had known about Lei Jun's ability beforehand, he wouldn't have dared to unfold the Blood Sea Scroll so blatantly in front of him.

In the mere moments it took to unfurl and retract the Blood Sea Scroll, it had practically served as an oversized target, one that Lei Jun didn't even need to aim for.

However, Lei Jun's spiritual energy and aura had clearly diminished significantly.

The consecutive releases of the Celestial Master Sword and the Seven Star Sword in an instant had exhausted him greatly.

"Move!"

Wei Ancheng remained calm and had no intention of fighting Lei Jun to the death, as it held no meaning for him.

The blood sea beside him churned, and an even larger number of Blood Gods emerged, surrounding Lei Jun from all directions while simultaneously working to salvage the Blood Sea Scroll.

Lei Jun could clearly sense that the Blood Gods that appeared at this moment were even more ferocious than before.

When the Blood River Sect cultivators were injured, the power of their supernatural abilities would actually increase, especially their lethality, which would drastically enhance up to a certain limit, correlating with the severity of their injuries.

At this moment, despite Wei Ancheng's desperate efforts, even the Taqing Bajing Treasure Cape was struggling to withstand the Blood Gods.

However, he didn't aim to injure Lei Jun; he only wanted to buy some time.

As long as he could stabilize the damaged but not completely shattered Blood Sea Scroll, Wei Ancheng still had a chance to escape.

Unfortunately, one step too late, and everything was too late.

Having missed his opportunity to leave earlier, he now faced a whole new situation.

The three-layered golden altar shone brilliantly, as if it were about to explode outward, and in this instant, it collapsed and shattered.

Like the great sun illuminating the world, even with the Extreme Yin Tide as a barrier, the surrounding area was bathed in a brilliant light that pierced through the dark sky.

Infinite golden light expanded, swiftly transforming into a golden ocean that engulfed the small island.

At the center of this golden ocean stood a tall, slender woman with hair and eyebrows as white as platinum, draped in a nine-colored rainbow robe.

With her as the center, circles of bright rainbow light spread out in all directions, even penetrating beyond the Extreme Yin Tide, causing it to stir even more violently.

In her eyes, golden thunderbolts seemed to dance, and she surveyed her surroundings: "Good, so there really are people hoping to take advantage of me!"

After unleashing multiple swords, Lei Jun was now catching his breath and recovering his spiritual energy while maintaining a smile: "Congratulations, Junior Sister, for achieving perfection in your cultivation and becoming a high immortal."

"Although it didn't trouble you, I must say that you've worked hard this time." Tang Xiaotang's expression was rarely solemn as she looked at Lei Jun, her eyes filled with tenderness.

However, the next moment, her expression turned slightly disdainful: "What a pity. That guy on the outside got away, and now there's only this half-dead one left."

As she spoke, the golden ocean enveloped Tang Xiaotang, Lei Jun, and Wei Ancheng in front of them.

This was the mysterious ability unique to the ninth-level experts of the Talisman Sect of the Daoist School—the Great Vehicle Dao Scene.

Upon achieving the Great Vehicle Dao Scene, Tang Xiaotang's Pure Yang Realm soared to new heights, and her capturing power was astonishing.

Wei Ancheng and the multitude of Blood Gods beside him were also encompassed within it.

Within the realm, countless golden Pure Yang Immortal Thunderbolts and Pure Yang True Fires intertwined, incessantly refining and burning the blood sea around Wei Ancheng.

Wei Ancheng took a deep breath and brandished his Blood Sword, executing the Blood War Human Realm technique.

At the same time, the numerous Blood Gods that resembled him also moved in unison.

In an instant, a forest of blood-red swords danced, each one slicing through the heavens and the earth with tremendous force.

Despite his injuries and depleted vitality, in this moment, his blood energy surged, and the terrifying sword blades erupted with astonishing power, the blood-red slashes cutting through the golden ocean as if they were about to tear the Pure Yang Sea apart from within.

Tang Xiaotang stood motionless at the heart of the fiery sea. The emerald green Nine Abyss True Fire appeared, transforming into mountain-like fire tigers that roared ferociously.

One after another.

In response, golden lightning dragons weaved through the golden realm, soaring and diving as if they were traversing the clouds.

Countless Yin Fire Tigers and Pure Yang Thunder Dragons came together in pairs, forming one after another golden and green Yin-Yang fusion diagram.

It was the Dragon-Tiger Combo Strike.

With the gathering of countless dragons and tigers, the roars and growls resonated endlessly, filling the four directions.

As numerous Yin-Yang diagrams rotated, the bright and dazzling light interwoven within the Pure Yang Realm clashed continuously with the forest of blood-red swords, causing a rain of light and blood to scatter.

Wei Ancheng let out a muffled hum.

Tang Xiaotang, on the other hand, casually waved her hand.

And with a flash of purple light, the Celestial Master Sword flew back into her palm.

With a swipe of her sword, a dazzling display of intertwined purple and golden light slashed through the air, slicing through Wei Ancheng's numerous Blood Gods.

Wei Ancheng's expression suddenly relaxed, his gaze shifting from Tang Xiaotang to Lei Jun.

The damaged Blood Sea Scroll began to contort on its own, showing signs of imminent fracture.

Since Wei Ancheng had obtained this treasure, he had rarely relied on it to forcefully overpower or fight his enemies.

It was precisely because of this that, despite the Blood River Sect being widely hated and considered a public enemy of the Great Tang, it had always left him and his sect a way out. Over the years, they had weathered numerous disasters, always managing to escape unscathed and preserve their strength.

But today, Wei Ancheng was also determined to cut off this escape route if necessary.

The Blood Sea Scroll trembled, on the verge of shattering into pieces.

In this moment, powerful waves of blood energy surged uncontrollably, sweeping across the four directions.

However, Tang Xiaotang's Pure Yang Realm actually contracted at this moment.

The golden sea of pure yang energy then poured into the Blood Sea Scroll, dyeing the bloody ocean with a golden hue.

Today, without the need for the Celestial Master Sword, there was a ship sailing on the sea of pure yang energy, riding the waves towards Wei Ancheng.

Wei Ancheng's expression changed as he brandished his Blood Sword, only to be suppressed by Tang Xiaotang, who stood at the bow of the ship, wielding the Celestial Master Sword.

"Wei Ancheng, I know about your Blood Sea Nirvana and your backup Blood Gods waiting outside for a chance to replace you if you die. But today, nothing you have will be of any use!"

As Tang Xiaotang roared, she waved towards the sky.

The altar, glowing with intertwined purple, golden, and cyan light, finally broke free from the pressure of the Extreme Yin Tide.

In the center of the illusory altar, a translucent white jade seal emanated a brilliant glow, aiming directly at Wei Ancheng's head!

As the bloody light exploded, Lei Jun couldn't help but avert his gaze.

..."He remembered that when his junior sister first fought Huang Xuanpu on Dragon and Tiger Mountain, she had used a normal seal to fight. How was it that now she was also resorting to smashing people's heads with a giant seal?

May the ancestral masters forgive me," Lei Jun muttered to himself, unable to bear witness to such a scene.

Elder Lei, standing beside him, also turned away, unable to watch, while Tang Xiaotang, the Celestial Master, fought with growing enthusiasm.

She stepped onto the ship of pure yang energy, crushing the blood sea and the bursting bloody light underfoot, and sailed directly into the immobilized Blood Sea Scroll.

The golden light and bloody glow intertwined, forming a vortex that seemed to devour everything around it, before the vortex shrank and the warped void returned to normal.

Tang Xiaotang clearly meant what she said and was determined to chase Wei Ancheng to the ends of the earth, determined to kill him thoroughly.

Lei Jun's spiritual power gradually recovered, and as he retrieved the Seven Star Sword, he took the opportunity, while the Extreme Yin Tide, which had been stimulated by the Celestial Master Seal, began to subside, to first use the hidden side of the heavenly book to dissipate the remaining Seven Star Sword aura and primal magnetic force in this place.

He was considering whether to pursue Wei Ancheng or stay in the Earthly Sea when a light bulb flashed in his mind, and words appeared:

"A sword rises from the dark sea, and the imperial star surges with high tides."

Then, four fortunes flew out from the light bulb:

"Upper-middle fortune: Do not pursue into the Blood Sea. Go to the southern region of Zuming Abyss. There is an opportunity to obtain a second-rank opportunity. There is no danger at present, but the cause and effect are already deep. Be cautious in the future. Auspicious."

"Upper-middle fortune: Pursue into the Blood Sea. There is an opportunity to obtain a fourth-rank opportunity. There is no risk at present or in the future. Auspicious."

"Middle fortune: Do not pursue into the Blood Sea. Go to regions other than the western and southern regions of Zuming Abyss. There is nothing extra to gain or lose. Neutral."

"Lower-middle fortune: Do not pursue into the Blood Sea. Go to the western region of Zuming Abyss. May encounter danger. Be extremely cautious. Inauspicious."

Lei Jun read the fortunes and compared them with the previous mentions of "sword" and "imperial star," and he understood.

According to the second fortune, Tang Xiaotang should also be safe as she pursued Wei Ancheng alone.

So, after notifying Tang Xiaotang through the Heaven-seeing and Earth-hearing Talisman, he stayed in the Earthly Sea.

Tang Xiaotang had no objections to this.

For Lei Jun, his current bigger problem was that he couldn't identify which of the seven abysses in the Earthly Sea was which.

Fortunately, he had his own methods.

After integrating the clues he had obtained earlier about the Purple Micro Cosmos Sword with the Seven Star Sword, Lei Jun's intuition grew stronger as he stimulated it, vaguely pointing him in the right direction.

However, before that, Lei Jun gazed into the distance.

The Extreme Yin Tide in the Mistaken Abyss finally began to recede, and the leader of the Broken Mist Tribe, Li Yan, was no longer outside the desolate island.

He had seen the Blood Sea boarding the island, and had intended to try to break through the Extreme Yin Tide or restrain the Celestial Master Seal.

The Nine Li had reappeared for a long time, and there had been a lot of interaction between the Earthly Sea and the human world. Li Yan had also heard of Wei Ancheng of the Wu Sect in the Great Tang human world.

The fact that Wei Ancheng had launched a surprise attack on Tang Xiaotang, who was in closed-door cultivation and attempting to break through to the Ninth Heaven, did not surprise Li Yan.

He may not understand Wei Ancheng, but he understands the majority of Blood River cultivators.

But soon, Li Yan saw the blood red fade and the golden light flourish.

Although he didn't understand the details, it was clear that Wei Ancheng had failed, and Tang Xiaotang had successfully broken through to the Ninth Heaven cultivation, achieving the Great Vehicle realm of the Daoist School.

Opportunities are fleeting, and Wei Ancheng would definitely not continue to linger.

Even if he stayed, the two-on-two situation, considering Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang's strength demonstrated earlier, Li Yan calmly judged that although they were both Ninth Heaven Blood River Grand Witches, they did not have a sufficient chance of victory.

As a Blood River cultivator and also the leader of his clan, Li Yan naturally had to consider that Tang Xiaotang, at the Eighth Heaven, was already extremely formidable, and she would only become more challenging to deal with at the Ninth Heaven.

Whether he liked it or not, Li Yan quickly made a decision:

Even if he joined forces with Li De to injure and repel Shangguan Yunbo and the others, the presence of Tang Xiaotang and the Wu Clan would still leave them with endless troubles.

The Broken Li Clan, and even the Auxiliary Li Clan, must relocate from their current region, using the Earthly Sea to conceal their tracks.

For the tribes that had survived for many years in the harsh environment of the Earthly Sea, their ancestral lands were not as unwavering as those of the human world's aristocratic families.

Although this outcome was a bit frustrating, Li Yan still made a decisive decision to leave the Mistaken Abyss and return to Xiongbo Mountain.

He joined forces with the Auxiliary Li Clan's chieftain, Li De, and with two great experts holding the fort, Shangguan Yunbo and the others dared not approach any further.

Instead of taking advantage of the situation to counterattack, the Jiu Li people began a large-scale migration.

The Great Tang cultivators also did not take any reckless actions.

They, too, were paying close attention to the commotion in the Mistaken Abyss.

As fellow cultivators from the Great Tang human world, the outcome of the distant battle was exhilarating.

Although they couldn't see the details clearly, it was evident that Lei Jun had first held off Li Yan, a Ninth Heaven Grand Witch, with his Eighth Heaven cultivation. Then, Tang Xiaotang had successfully emerged from her seclusion, attaining the Great Vehicle realm of the Daoist School. These events were clear as day.

However, as the Extreme Yin Tide dissipated, the bloody light and golden radiance also faded, leaving everyone's hearts once again filled with anxiety.

Fortunately, Shen Quibing managed to contact Lei Zhenren through a sound-transmitting talisman.

"In addition to Li Yan, the Blood River Sect Leader, Wei Ancheng, also launched a sneak attack. However, our Sect Leader has emerged from her seclusion, and Wei Ancheng has been injured and fled. We are currently in pursuit to ensure he pays for his crimes."

Lei Zhenren briefly explained, "Please convey to General Shangguan that for now, he should remain calm and not act rashly. We will definitely return to the Earthly Sea later."

Shen Quibing asked with concern, "Are you alright, Zhenren Lei? You sound a bit weak."

Lei Zhenren reassured him, "I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern, General Shen."

"You and Celestial Master Tang have done a great service," Shen Quibing said.

Upon receiving Shen Quibing's message, Shangguan Yunbo, Ye Morong, and the others said, "Celestial Master Tang has attained the Great Vehicle realm of the Daoist School, adding another peerless expert to our Great Tang. This is truly heaven's blessing."

After expressing their admiration, Shangguan Yunbo asked Shen Quibing, "Is Zhenren Lei unharmed?"

Shen Quibing replied, "I sense that Zhenren Lei's voice is a bit weak, but his qi is calm and peaceful. I believe he should be fine."

Shangguan Yunbo nodded slightly.

Although Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang were young, even Shangguan Yunbo couldn't boast about the prowess of the younger generation at this point.

There was no need to elaborate on Tang Xiaotang's achievement of the Ninth Heaven at such a young age.

If Shangguan Yunbo remembered correctly, aside from the current Empress, who had special circumstances due to the Emperor's Grand Ritual, Celestial Master Tang was the youngest person in the Great Tang to attain the Ninth Heaven in their generation.

It was indeed a nerve-wracking decision for Tang Xiaotang to attempt to break through to the Ninth Heaven in the Earthly Sea.

But then again, the fact that she took this risk proved that she had the confidence to do so.

On the one hand, she had the assurance that she could overcome the tribulations between the Eighth and Ninth Heavens.

On the other hand, she had reliable protectors.

Zhenren Lei, with the Dao name Xuanxiaozi, had consecutively fought against two Ninth Heaven experts, Li Yan and Wei Ancheng, despite only being at the Eighth Heaven himself.

Shangguan Yunbo clearly understood that although Li Yan was blocked by the Extreme Yin Tide, Wei Ancheng had successfully landed on the island.

The blood-red chaos that Wei Ancheng unleashed raged for a moment before Tang Xiaotang's brilliant golden light emerged, signifying her successful breakthrough.

In that brief moment before her breakthrough, Wei Ancheng had his long-awaited opportunity.

However, just like Li Yan, he could only sigh in admiration.

Although Lei Jun had the Celestial Master Sword and the Celestial Master Seal, the fact that he could consecutively battle two powerful experts like Li Yan and Wei Ancheng without the support of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain sect was remarkable enough to once again astonish the world.
