Chapter 315: Conquering the Jing River!
Decades later.
The appearance of the Chaotian Realm had finally reached perfect form under Jiangxin’s efforts.
The Five Great Provinces and the Four Great Oceans. The likeness of Dragon Country had been perfectly replicated upon the Chaotian Realm.
Even down to every mountain, every river!
And after enduring that calamity of Heavenly Immortals—
The population of the Chaotian Realm had sharply declined!
The Dao of Puppet Armor had utterly fallen into decline!
After all, mortals had died off by the handful. Those who survived were only some cultivators in secluded cultivation deep within the mountains and old forests.
Toward this, Lu Qingyang did not interfere too much.
He merely withdrew the Chaotian Palace and sent all the surviving Chaotian Sect disciples down into the Chaotian Realm.
The current Chaotian Realm needed them to help repopulate.
A thousand years had also made many people and things unrecognizable.
The disciples he had taken in back then, and those prodigies, had either left, been wounded, or passed on.
Not every Chosen One could climb to the peak.
Toward this, Lu Qingyang did not grieve excessively.
Merely a touch of sentiment.
There were still more important matters waiting for him.
Now Wan Tianchou was dead.
In the Jing River Realm, there were no more Eight-Turn Heavenly Immortals.
With his strength, even if he could not fully take the Jing River, he could begin to nibble away at it step by step!
This was the exact same process as when he had taken the Demon Domain back then.
So, in order to control that four-fold Greater Thousand, Lu Qingyang actually spared no expense in resources, beginning construction of a teleportation formation leading to the Jing River Realm.
At the same time, he ordered Jiangxin to begin vigorously organizing resources.
After he broke through to Human Immortal, Jiangxin had also advanced to a second-tier Heavenly Dao.
If aided by the resources of the Jing River Realm, Jiangxin and he would certainly continue to improve.
Interestingly, while Lu Qingyang was on one hand raising his cultivation, and on the other vigorously developing intelligent high-tier Puppet Armor, beyond the starry sky he encountered a strange person!
On this day, outside the Chaotian Palace.
An extremely powerful pressure swept past.
It jolted Lu Qingyang awake from his cultivation.
And in the next instant, that pressure actually turned back, charging directly toward him!
This made Lu Qingyang’s face darken.
“An Immortal from beyond the realm?”
His eyes flickered uncertainly, but he quickly calmed down.
Buzz!
In the next instant, Lu Qingyang’s figure appeared outside the Chaotian Palace.
What he saw was an Immortal Ship roughly ten thousand meters long, a thousand meters tall, trailing a massive black-and-red banner!
Upon the banner was written a large character: ‘Tang’!
“What an exquisite Immortal Ship!”
Lu Qingyang looked at the magnificent Immortal Ship and could not help but praise it.
But he knew, the more intricate something was, the stronger its defenses.
Such a thing could absolutely not appear in an ordinary Greater Thousand World.
The ship’s owner was likewise no ordinary Immortal!
This also filled Lu Qingyang with vigilance.
However, when the Immortal Ship opened and a Nine-Turn True Immortal descended from it, Lu Qingyang was instantly stunned.
Only because that True Immortal’s robes were magnificent.
The Immortal Artifact at his waist shimmered with flowing light, clearly of extraordinary grade at a glance!
“Hm? A Nine-Turn True Immortal?”
Seeing that the arrival was actually a Nine-Turn True Immortal, Lu Qingyang was also surprised.
But he also let out a breath of relief.
“Who might you be, and do you have business here?”
Lu Qingyang asked, cupping his fists.
The Nine-Turn True Immortal raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing surprise.
Clearly, he had not expected there to be a Human Immortal Lord in this place.
He then respectfully cupped his fists in return and replied, “Greetings, Senior. This humble one is a branch-line descendant of the Holy Tang Wang family.”
“I was passing through this place and discovered such a large residential Immortal Artifact here. In my surprise, I could not help but come take a look.”
“If I have disturbed you, Senior, please forgive me.”
The Holy Tang Wang family?
Hearing this, Lu Qingyang could not help but frown.
He had never heard this name.
More importantly, this True Immortal did not seem to fear him.
He had merely saluted out of courtesy.
“I see.”
Lu Qingyang nodded, then said, “Since it is a chance encounter, you may also come in and rest a while.”
He had not lost his poise.
Mainly because Lu Qingyang also very much wanted to probe just what level of power this Holy Tang was.
But that True Immortal shook his head and refused.
“Thank you for your kind invitation, Senior, but this junior has important matters to attend to and will not impose further.”
With that, he actually turned back to the Immortal Ship, and steered it away.
“What firm courage.”
“Leaving just like that — this True Immortal is no simple one.”
Watching the other’s receding figure, Lu Qingyang murmured.
Though that True Immortal’s attitude had been cold, this action also revealed his decisive character.
Most importantly, Lu Qingyang had not detected the slightest fear in the other’s bearing.
A Nine-Turn True Immortal, daring to be so bold before a Human Immortal.
This was enough to show the other’s abundant confidence!
“Jiangxin!”
“I’m here! Master!”
Jiangxin’s Heavenly Dao will manifested.
“Have you ever heard the name Holy Tang?”
Hearing Lu Qingyang’s question, Jiangxin was silent for a long while.
Only after a long time did it slowly speak.
“Master, I seem to have found no record of the name Holy Tang in the Heavenly Dao inheritance.”
“However…”
Jiangxin’s voice suddenly became strange, as if it had recalled something.
“However what?” Lu Qingyang pressed.
“However, I did find a power called ‘Immortal Qin’!”
“The Heavenly Dao inheritance has records of it. It seems many Greater Thousands are under the rule of this ‘Immortal Qin.’”
“Hiss!”
Hearing Jiangxin’s words, Lu Qingyang could not help but draw a sharp breath.
Holy Tang!
‘Immortal Qin’!
There had to be a connection between these two!
Even their names were so similar!
More importantly, this Immortal Qin’s territory actually spanned several Greater Thousands!
What kind of terrifying power was that!
“It seems that Nine-Turn True Immortal just now was from this Holy Tang.”
“There must be a mighty figure backing him!”
Lu Qingyang narrowed his eyes, inwardly guessing.
Then, his eyes suddenly brightened!
He remembered!
If he wanted to swiftly conquer the Jing River, why not go to one of these super Immortal Realm powers and find some helpers!
“By the way… are there Heavenly Immortal-level slaves for sale?”
“If I could buy some thug slaves or something, wouldn’t the Jing River Realm be mine for the taking!”
At this thought, Lu Qingyang actually flashed away, chasing after the Immortal Ship that had already departed!
“Swoosh!”
Lu Qingyang’s figure was like a long rainbow.
The power of a Human Immortal erupted in an instant!
Leaving a long afterimage in the starry sky!
But soon, Lu Qingyang’s speed slowed.
He saw that the Immortal Ship had not slowed in the slightest, and in the blink of an eye had already distanced itself from this place!
“Fuck!”
Lu Qingyang cursed, somewhat vexed.
He had not expected this Immortal Ship’s speed to be so swift, actually three parts faster than his own full-speed run.
“Master!”
And just then, Jiangxin’s voice rose again!
“Master, I can use the Heavenly Dao’s power to block it for a moment!”
“What! Then quick, help me call it back!”
Lu Qingyang’s eyes went wide, immensely excited.
How could he have forgotten Jiangxin’s ability to freely manifest the Heavenly Dao’s power!
“Understood, Master!”
Jiangxin replied at once.
In that instant, the entire starfield trembled.
A brilliant white light shot out from the Chaotian Realm, flying straight toward that Immortal Ship!
Boom!
That Immortal Ship was struck by this abruptly appearing white light.
It instantly stalled for a moment…
