Chapter 182: Chapter 182: The Battle Begins, Shaking the North and South of Xuanjing

Chapter 182: The Battle Begins, Shaking the North and South of Xuanjing

Ouyang Cang and the others were overjoyed, clasping their fists and bowing. "Congratulations, Sect Master! Congratulations, former Sect Master!"

"If we obtain the Longevity Flower, our Divine Sword Sect will undoubtedly surpass the Xuanjing Prefecture!"

The smile on Luo Chaotian's face grew even brighter.

The power of a Nascent Soul cultivator is all-encompassing.

If the Divine Sword Sect could produce a Nascent Soul cultivator, how could the combined forces of the Verdant Vine Sect and Qingxuan Sect even be a match for them?

"If the former Sect Master can step into the Nascent Soul stage, won't he be summoned by the Shangqing Sect to become one of their elders?" Ouyang Cang said with envy.

Luo Chaotian smiled slightly. "Indeed. It's been a long time since our Divine Sword Sect has contributed a Nascent Soul cultivator to the Shangqing Sect."

"If we can contribute one this time, it will surely make the Shangqing Sect pay more attention to our Divine Sword Sect!"

The other elders were visibly moved upon hearing this.

The Shangqing Sect, being the top sect in Yuzhou, held immense power, and its depths were unfathomable.

The Divine Sword Sect was merely one of the ten powerful sects under the Shangqing Sect's banner.

Even a fraction of the treasures that slipped through the fingers of the Shangqing Sect would be enough to elevate the Divine Sword Sect to new heights!

"Of course, everything depends on whether we can take Spirit Beast Mountain first," Luo Chaotian pointed forward.

Ouyang Cang and the others laughed heartily. "As long as our insider Elder Wang makes a small move, capturing Spirit Beast Mountain will only take a moment!"

Luo Chaotian smiled faintly and took out his transmission jade to send a message to Elder Wang.

"Elder Wang, begin sabotaging the mountain's protective formation immediately."

However, even after a long wait, there was no response.

Luo Chaotian's expression remained unchanged as he sent another transmission.

But once again, his message disappeared into the void.

Ouyang Cang and the others were puzzled, unsure of what was happening.

Finally, Luo Chaotian frowned, sensing something was wrong.

"Elder Wang, answer me!"

At that moment, a voice finally came from the other side of the transmission jade.

But it wasn't the familiar voice of Elder Wang. Instead, it was the crisp voice of a young woman.

"Sect Master Luo, are you looking for Elder Wang? He's currently enjoying tea in the underground prison of Spirit Beast Mountain."

Crack!

Luo Chaotian crushed the transmission jade in his hand, his face dark with anger.

He recognized that voice.

It was Mo Yuheng, the young sect master of the Verdant Vine Sect!

Hearing her voice meant there was no need to ask about Elder Wang's fate.

"Have we been discovered?" Ouyang Cang and the others were stunned.

"What's going on?"

"Didn't Elder Wang say he never passed any information to our Divine Sword Sect?"

"Yeah, I heard Elder Wang and Mo Hanshan were war comrades. There's no reason for Mo Hanshan to suspect him."

The elders of the Divine Sword Sect looked at each other in confusion.

Luo Chaotian took a deep breath. "Send the order. Attack Spirit Beast Mountain with full force!"

Ouyang Cang hesitated for a moment. "Sect Master, at our current pace, it will take at least two days to break through the formation."

"We don't have that kind of time."

"The longer this drags on, the more dangerous the situation becomes. We have no idea what the Qingxuan Sect's true objective is."

Luo Chaotian responded without hesitation, "Call the elders stationed at the borders! We must take Spirit Beast Mountain today!"

"If the Qingxuan Sect doesn't come, so be it. If they dare show up, I'll annihilate them right here!"

As he spoke, his eyes gleamed with a chilling light.

Ouyang Cang, still uneasy, said, "Sect Master, while I agree that Murong Yue wouldn't be your match, that Shen Mo... His current strength is likely unfathomable."

"Zhuang Mochou and Zhao Liepeng both died by his hand."

Luo Chaotian snorted coldly, spiritual energy surging, causing his robes to billow outward.

"Vice Sect Master Ouyang, are you suggesting that I'm not Shen Mo's match?"

"Or... are you afraid of dying?"

Ouyang Cang hurriedly shook his head. "I mean no such thing. I'm only concerned that such a rushed attack may lead to significant losses for our Divine Sword Sect."

Luo Chaotian replied indifferently, "Let him come!"

"I know exactly what Shen Mo's trump cards are!"

"That strange demonic armored gauntlet of his—every time he uses it, it comes at a cost. At most, he can activate it once or twice in a short period."

"The combination of the Red Lotus Flame and the Nine Suns Divine Phoenix Technique might be a deadly move for others, but for me, I can block it with a wave of my hand!"

"As for his Water Ink Sword Qi and Thunder Shadow Sword Technique, they're laughable at best. Using sword techniques in front of our Divine Sword Sect is like showing off in front of masters!"

"So, tell me, what does he have to fight me with?"

The surrounding elders of the Divine Sword Sect all nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Luo Chaotian was well-prepared, Ouyang Cang finally felt at ease.

"Very well, I'll send a message to the elders stationed at the borders, instructing them to head over immediately!"

...

At the Jujube Courtyard.

Shen Mo was still calmly cultivating.

At this moment, two towering evergreen trees had formed around him.

Majestic, verdant, and lifelike!

From a distance, one could easily mistake these trees for the jujube trees in the courtyard having grown to such a height.

Knock, knock, knock!

Urgent knocking echoed through the door.

"What is it?" Shen Mo asked casually.

Wei Xiongtie's voice rang out from outside, "Reporting to the Young Sect Master, all Divine Sword Sect cultivators stationed at the borders have been withdrawn. Based on their movements, it seems they've been redeployed to besiege Spirit Beast Mountain!"

Shen Mo's eyes suddenly opened. "Give the order. We march immediately, straight to Spirit Beast Mountain!"

"Yes, sir!" Wei Xiongtie responded, filled with excitement.

Shen Mo's orders now even carried more weight than Murong Yue's.

At his command, the entire Qingxuan Sect responded instantly.

In just a matter of moments, a hundred-strong force had been assembled.

Shen Mo, Wei Xiongtie, Elder Li, and others led the team.

There were thirty Core Formation stage cultivators.

Seventy Foundation Establishment stage deacons made up the rest.

Murong Yue, Liu Yuanfeng, and others remained behind to guard the mountain gate, while some elders were stationed to protect various sect assets.

Aside from the elders who couldn't be mobilized, the rest had come out in full force!

News of the Divine Sword Sect's assault on Spirit Beast Mountain and the Qingxuan Sect's full mobilization quickly spread throughout the area.

Scattered cultivators watched the streaks of light dart across the sky, their eyes flashing with greed as they followed from afar.

Whenever the major sects went to war, it was the scattered cultivators' chance to profit!

Thus, even though this battle involved the Divine Sword Sect, Qingxuan Sect, and Verdant Vine Sect, the number of cultivators gathering near Spirit Beast Mountain was as numerous as a sea of cattle!

...

At Spirit Beast Mountain.

Mo Yuheng swiftly formed a large, dark green seal with her delicate hands, sending a Divine Sword Sect disciple flying far away.

By her side, a small jade-white snake and a massive bear fought fiercely.

In the distance, the elders, deacons, and disciples of the Verdant Vine Sect continued their relentless assault.

As soon as one group exhausted their spiritual energy, they withdrew to make way for fresh forces.

However, despite their best efforts, the Verdant Vine Sect's cultivators were growing exhausted, their spiritual energy nearly depleted.

After all, not everyone possessed a vast reservoir of spiritual energy like Shen Mo, whose spiritual energy was as endless as the sea.

"Where is the Qingxuan Sect? Are they still not here?" Mo Yuheng gritted her teeth.

Liu Menghu wiped the sweat from his brow and rushed over, elated. "Young Sect Master, look behind the Divine Sword Sect! There's movement! The Qingxuan Sect must have arrived!"

Mo Yuheng looked into the distance and indeed saw small black dots appearing in the sky.

Her face lit up with joy, and she shouted loudly, "The Qingxuan Sect's reinforcements have arrived! Hold on, everyone!"

Luo Chaotian's expression remained cold as he gazed several hundred feet away at Shen Mo.

"The Qingxuan Sect is bold, I'll give them that. It's truly surprising."

Shen Mo chuckled, "It seems you'll have many more surprises in store, Sect Master Luo."

"Attack!"

Someone shouted the command.

In an instant, the cultivators of the Qingxuan Sect and Divine Sword Sect collided.

The sounds of battle erupted all at once!

Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Two Evergreen Trees for Body Protection

Chapter 183: Two Evergreen Trees for Body Protection

The other Core Formation stage cultivators had found their respective opponents and were locked in battle.

Various types of spiritual weapons and techniques were being unleashed.

Spiritual energy surged wildly around Spirit Beast Mountain.

The battle involving dozens of Core Formation stage cultivators caused the surrounding spiritual energy to become chaotic.

If Foundation Establishment stage cultivators got too close, they would feel dizzy and unable to use their spiritual energy.

Shen Mo's opponent was obvious—it was naturally Luo Chaotian.

Both of them drew their long swords.

Clang, clang, clang.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of strikes were exchanged.

Sparks flew, dazzling and intense.

"Thunder Shadow Sword Technique? It seems somewhat different from the Thunder Shadow Sword Technique of the Qingxuan Sect," Luo Chaotian quickly noticed the peculiarity of Shen Mo's swordplay.

It was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes still, sometimes in motion.

It was unpredictable, hard to defend against.

However, Luo Chaotian was the sect master of the Divine Sword Sect.

And since the Divine Sword Sect was named for the sword, they naturally had unique insights into various sword techniques.

Shen Mo's swordsmanship could suppress other cultivators but not Luo Chaotian.

Shen Mo chuckled, "Sect Master Luo's swordsmanship is quite average. Is this the level of the top sect among the Five Great Sects of Xuanjing River?"

Luo Chaotian snorted coldly, and his technique abruptly changed.

Suddenly, it became like a mighty river, rushing down with unstoppable force.

In the next instant, it shifted, becoming like the Nine Springs of the Underworld—soft, lingering, delicate yet ruthless.

Shen Mo raised an eyebrow.

Indeed, Luo Chaotian lived up to his reputation as the master of the Divine Sword Sect. His mastery of sword techniques had reached an exceptional level.

However, Shen Mo's methods weren't limited to just swordsmanship, nor was he focused solely on it.

Without hesitation, he abandoned his sword, and a purple-black demonic armored gauntlet appeared on his right arm.

Splat!

He suddenly crushed three blood pouches hidden in his sleeve.

Nine drops of Ice Jiao blood immediately fused into the demonic armor.

In an instant, the armor transformed into an ice spike form.

Then, with a sudden motion, he unleashed a devastating punch!

Endless icy spiritual energy surged from all directions in the blink of an eye.

A massive ice spiral formed.

Its force was so overwhelming that it seemed as though it could freeze even the soul.

Facing such an awe-inspiring attack, Luo Chaotian's expression changed slightly.

He had previously heard about the terrifying power of the demonic armor from others' descriptions.

But now, facing it directly, even his heart raced with fear.

He felt an astonishing threat.

His intuition told him that if he couldn't block this strike, he would be severely injured!

Luo Chaotian quickly reversed his grip on his sword and, in a flash, stabbed seven times in rapid succession.

The seven sword beams didn't dissipate but instead merged into the form of a giant sword in front of him.

This was the Divine Sword Sect's secret technique, a high-grade Earth-class defensive skill, only comprehensible after reaching the sixth level of the "Flying Sword Longevity Scripture."

It was called the "Seven Stars Divine Sword."

Though named after a sword, it was one of the most formidable defensive techniques.

The surrounding elders of the Divine Sword Sect, seeing this move, were taken aback.

It had been a long time since they had seen Luo Chaotian use this technique in combat.

It seemed that Shen Mo, who had shaken both the northern and southern parts of the Xuanjing River, was indeed formidable.

He had forced Luo Chaotian to take this battle seriously!

Boom!

In the next moment, the icy spiral clashed with the Seven Stars Divine Sword.

Blinding light shot out in all directions.

Ice shards flew, and sword energy scattered.

The shockwaves from the attack struck the ground, blasting rocks into the air and destroying massive trees.

Several Core Formation cultivators who couldn't evade in time groaned, coughing up blood.

As for the Foundation Establishment stage and lower cultivators, those unlucky enough to encounter the shockwaves would be injured if they were grazed and killed if directly struck.

It was truly a case of immortals battling while mortals suffered.

To Core Formation stage cultivators, those below them—Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation stage cultivators—were no different from ordinary mortals.

In midair, the ice particles scattered, and the light dimmed.

Two figures were sent flying at the same time.

Shen Mo was thrown back more than ten meters.

Meanwhile, Luo Chaotian flew back over thirty meters before he managed to stabilize himself.

Both of them had sustained injuries.

Shen Mo had sword wounds on his chest and left arm.

Even though his Green Lotus Robe was incredibly durable, it had been slashed open.

However, before much blood could flow, the wounds began to heal rapidly.

In contrast, Luo Chaotian had small holes all over his body, each filled with tiny ice shards.

The ice shards emitted a bone-chilling cold, affecting the surrounding flesh and blood.

Even with Luo Chaotian channeling his spiritual energy to shake them off, it wasn't easy to expel them from his body.

With just one strike, the difference in strength between the two was clear!

Luo Chaotian shouted in a low voice, "You're not at the peak of the Core Formation stage; you've already reached the pinnacle!"

This scene, witnessed by the cultivators from the three factions, stirred up a massive storm in their hearts.

To them, no matter how much Shen Mo's reputation spread across Xuanjing, no matter how talented and accomplished he was as a young prodigy, he shouldn't have been a match for Luo Chaotian.

After all, Luo Chaotian had long been famous, the strongest among the five sect masters of Xuanjing River.

Wang Tianzhan, Mo Hanshan, Zhao Liepeng, and Zhuang Mochou had all fought against him, and none had ever defeated him.

But now, this moment shocked them to the core.

Luo Chaotian's low growl wasn't heard by many, but those nearby who caught his words were even more shaken.

This young man... had reached the pinnacle of the Core Formation stage?! He was only in his twenties, yet he stood at the very top of Xuanjing's cultivators?!

"Sect Master Luo has sharp eyes to see through this," Shen Mo said with a faint smile.

"Your demonic armor is already ineffective, and your Water Ink Sword Qi can't harm me."

"Next, you're going to use the Red Lotus Flame and the Nine Suns Divine Phoenix Technique."

Luo Chaotian stared coldly at the young man before him.

Shen Mo clapped his hands. "Sect Master Luo knows me well, but unfortunately, you didn't guess my next move."

In the next instant, Luo Chaotian's figure vanished from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he was already thrusting his sword forward.

A fierce and biting sword energy erupted from the tip of his blade.

In an instant, the sword energy expanded to a size of over ten meters.

The distance between them shrank rapidly to just twenty meters, thanks to the movement technique Luo Chaotian had used.

From a distance, the scattered cultivators, some standing on treetops, others on mountaintops, were stunned by what they saw.

"What kind of move is that? Luo Chaotian just disappeared from his spot!"

"It must be the Divine Sword Sect's Earth-class movement technique, the 'Instant Shadow Sword.' However, the version I know doesn't seem this powerful."

An elderly cultivator chuckled, "You youngsters still lack experience. This move is a perfected form of the Instant Shadow Sword, known as 'Instant Shadow Flash.'"

"As far as I know, only two people in the entire Divine Sword Sect have mastered Instant Shadow Flash. One is Zhou Qingcang, and the other is Luo Chaotian."

"Tsk, tsk, no wonder it's so formidable!"

"It looks like Shen Mo might be in trouble. Look at his expression—he doesn't seem to have reacted at all."

"Divine Sword Sect cultivators excel in close-quarters combat. I wonder if Shen Mo can block this strike..."

Many cultivators focused their gazes on Shen Mo.

This included those within Spirit Beast Mountain, such as Mo Yuheng and Liu Menghu.

"Young Sect Master, can he block it?" Liu Menghu wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked.

Mo Yuheng shook his head. "It's difficult. From what I know, he needs time to gather the four great gates to perform his defensive technique."

"Luo Chaotian isn't giving him much time right now."

In midair.

The fierce sword energy grew closer and closer to Shen Mo's chest.

Luo Chaotian's gaze was icy, unwavering.

At that moment, Shen Mo didn't even need to channel his spiritual energy. Suddenly, a massive amount of wood-based spiritual energy converged around him.

In the next instant, two towering, verdant evergreen trees suddenly appeared!

Mo Yuheng exclaimed in shock, "Evergreen Trees for Body Protection?! And there are two of them!"
