Chapter 1365 - 239: Boundary Talisman

Chapter 1365: Chapter 239: Boundary Talisman

Inside the forbidden territory.

Gong Xuantian’s face was gloomy and unpleasant. He didn’t understand why the Heavenly Dao Seal suddenly wanted to yield.

"Elder Yin, why did you let me leave earlier? Are you afraid of Shen Changqing?"

"Do you know who the person beside him is?"

"Who is it?"

"Holy Weapon Qingyi!"

The Elder of Dao Seal spoke each word deliberately.

Holy Weapon Qingyi?

Upon hearing this name, Gong Xuantian’s face showed confusion and bewilderment.

Seeing this.

The Elder of Dao Seal said with a deep voice: "Among the Five Emperors of the Ancient Imperial Court, the Qinglian Emperor possesses an Immortal Holy Soldier named Qingyi. Back in the day, I had the fortune to witness it once.

If I haven’t mistaken, that elderly man in Qingyi just now is the Holy Weapon Qingyi, the Supreme Treasure once wielded by the Qinglian Emperor."

Speaking of Holy Weapon Qingyi.

His eyes showed reverence and reminiscence.

"Recalling the past, I was merely a small Dao Arms at the time, not even reaching the seventh grade, yet fortunate enough to witness the Qinglian Emperor adorned in Qingyi slay powerful beings of the Myriad Clans, truly remarkable."

"Immortal Holy Soldier!"

This time, Gong Xuantian was genuinely shocked.

When the other mentioned Holy Weapon, he hadn’t considered the direction of Immortal Holy Soldier.

Only because Immortal Holy Soldiers exist only in legends, and the Heavenly Dao Sect has sparse records about them with no detailed information.

But now, the Elder of Dao Seal made it clear, and Gong Xuantian truly understood Shen Changqing’s underlying confidence.

"No wonder he dares challenge the Central Profound Realm; he holds an Immortal Holy Soldier..."

Trouble!

This is the real trouble.

With an Immortal Holy Soldier in hand, the opponent stands unbeatable.

Judging by Elder of Dao Seal’s appearance, it is clear he also lacks the confidence to surpass the Immortal Holy Soldier.

This means.

The Heavenly Dao Sect faces much greater difficulty in obtaining Immortal Dao Methodologies from them.

Suddenly.

Gong Xuantian seemed to think of something and looked at the Elder of Dao Seal: "Elder Yin, since you were a Dao Arms during the Imperial Court Era, surely you possess corresponding Immortal Dao Methodologies?"

Regarding the origins of the Heavenly Dao Seal, he originally didn’t know much, only knew the other was a Zhen Sect Dao Soldier inherited by the Heavenly Dao Sect for a long time, but how long exactly, no one knew.

Now that the other spoke of it himself, Gong Xuantian realized this person was also from the Imperial Court Era.

Given that.

He may not necessarily need to rely on Shen Changqing alone to obtain Immortal Dao Methodologies.

"The Supreme Elder shouldn’t bother thinking about this."

The Elder of Dao Seal shook his head, voice calm: "During the Imperial Court Era, I was just a minor Dao Arms, insignificant in kind, incapable of accessing any high-level Immortal Dao Methodologies.

As for lower-tier Immortal Dao Methodologies, I believe they are of little value to the Heavenly Dao Sect."

"Could the Zhen Sect Dao Soldiers of other sects possibly know?"

Gong Xuantian considered another possibility.

Since our Heavenly Dao Seal is from the Ancient Imperial Court Era, perhaps other sects’ Zhen Sect Dao Soldiers are too.

If that were true.

Perhaps all sects have already acquired Immortal Dao Methodologies.

The Elder of Dao Seal heard this and confidently shook his head: "Impossible, although other sects’ Dao Soldiers are from the Imperial Court Era, they are not much different than mine. Dao Arms below seventh grade, what could they possibly know?"

He didn’t finish saying.

If Dao Arms during the Imperial Court Era had reached the seventh grade, they were likely destroyed completely in the battles of tens of millions of years ago.

Surviving is very difficult.

"Perhaps among the Heavens, such Divine Weapons might remain, but within the Central Profound Realm, it’s absolutely impossible."

The Elder of Dao Seal added a sentence.

Gong Xuantian’s expression calmed down: "Let us return for now; since negotiations failed, it shall no longer be a matter solely for our Heavenly Dao Sect. If he wants war, I shall see if he can truly withstand the wrath of the Central Profound Realm!"

He doesn’t want to rashly start a war with the external Human Clan.

With only the strength of the Heavenly Dao Sect, engaging in war poses significant risks.

There are choices.

Gong Xuantian prefers to gradually overtake the external forces little by little without bloodshed.

But unfortunately.

Shen Changqing didn’t give him this chance, not even allowing the first step before killing it in the cradle.

Negotiation failed.

To obtain Immortal Dao Methodologies, other means must be sought.

"What does the Supreme Elder intend to do?"

"Unite various forces to pressure the external Human Clan!"

Gong Xuantian’s eyes turned icy.

Since entering the external Capital City, Shen Changqing had been hostile, even publicly displaying the Qiushui Sword before him, practically rubbing his face in the dirt.

Later, attempting to counterbalance with the Heavenly Dao Seal didn’t succeed either.

As a distinguished Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect, he too values face.

This time.

Shen Changqing humiliated him, and he wouldn’t let this stand.

Not to mention.

This concerns the Immortal Dao Methodologies.

——

"Gong Xuantian has brought your Heavenly Dao Sect’s Zhen Sect Dao Soldier."

Upon seeing Ji Ying, Shen Changqing spoke slowly.

Zhen Sect Dao Soldier!

Upon hearing these words, hope naturally appeared in Ji Ying’s eyes, but it didn’t last long before it dissipated.

Being still confined here was enough to indicate problems.

Gong Xuantian couldn’t rescue him even with the Zhen Sect Dao Soldier.

From this, it can be seen.

This person’s strength is even more terrifying than I initially understood.

"Defender Shen, please speak plainly. I will answer what I can to the best of my ability."

Ji Ying took a deep breath and then spoke.

One doesn’t visit the temple for no reason.

If the other party doesn’t need him, they wouldn’t even glance his way.

Now that they have come, there must be another reason.

All he could do was try to show his value, so that when he has no value, he won’t be obliterated.

Even a Divine King was easily killed.

Ji Ying didn’t think he was more important than a Divine King.

"You are quite perceptive. I want to know the coordinates of the nine forbidden areas in the Central Profound Realm."

Shen Changqing nodded appreciatively, talking to someone smart and aware saves a lot of effort.

Coordinates?

Ji Ying looked puzzled.

"I cannot answer what you ask. I do not know what coordinates you are referring to."

"Then let me ask, do you have a map of the Central Profound Realm?"

"Yes!"

Ji Ying nodded hastily.

"Whenever our disciples go out, they carry a map of the Central Profound Realm. Currently, the map is in the storage ring, but my powers are sealed, and I cannot open it."

He raised his right hand, showing a ring with a dark gold hue.

Storage ring!

Shen Changqing’s expression froze for a moment; he had genuinely forgotten to thoroughly loot the opponent and had overlooked such an important item as a storage ring.

The main reason he forgot was because Ji Ying’s strength was too weak.

Instinctively, he thought a mere middle-stage Divine Realm being wouldn’t have anything valuable, so he didn’t bother to search.

At this moment.

Shen Changqing suddenly realized.

That’s right.

Ji Ying is indeed a middle-stage Divine Realm cultivator, but he also holds the identity of the Holy Son of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

An ordinary middle-stage Divine Realm won’t have much, but the Holy Son of the Heavenly Dao Sect certainly wouldn’t be poor.

With a gesture.

The storage ring fell directly from Ji Ying’s hand.

Shen Changqing grasped the storage ring, and with a thought, erased the divine soul imprint on it.

The imprint was cleared.

The backlash of power made Ji Ying groan, but he dared not express any resentment.

Compared to the backlash from erasing a Divine Soul Imprint on a Dao Soldier, the backlash from the storage ring was much smaller, not considered a serious issue.

Afterward.

Shen Changqing reimprinted the storage ring with his own divine soul imprint.

His divine sense landed on it, and soon, everything contained within the ring was exposed to his perception.

Before long.

A jade scroll appeared in Shen Changqing’s hand.

The jade scroll was only palm-sized, but when unfolded, it contained the entirety of the Central Profound Realm.

But when his divine sense landed on a specific location, that area would expand, revealing more detailed information.

"What a technique!"

Shen Changqing couldn’t help but exclaim.

To condense such a vast map into a small jade scroll and be able to explore it freely, this technique is truly exquisite.

Ji Ying said: "This contains the complete map of the Central Profound Realm, everything you want is here."

Shen Changqing didn’t respond, instead carefully examining the description of the Central Profound Realm in the jade scroll.

Nine Provinces and eighteen domains.

For the first time.

He understood the vastness of the Central Profound Realm.

Within the Nine Provinces and eighteen domains, just a single domain was already more expansive than the entire Imperial Court today.

If you consider all eighteen domains, then the Central Profound Realm is dozens of times larger than the Imperial Court.

This explains.

Why the Central Profound Realm could have so many Divine Kings.

It has both a profound foundation and an immense population.

Although.

Shen Changqing didn’t know exactly how many people exist in the Central Profound Realm, just seeing the Nine Provinces and eighteen domains made it clear that the population there is vast, far beyond comparison with the Imperial Court.

In the jade scroll, he also saw where the Heavenly Dao Sect was located.

South Spirit State!

Tianling Domain!

After skimming through the jade scroll, Shen Changqing put it away and looked at Ji Ying again: "After coming to the Imperial Court, how do you plan to return to the Central Profound Realm?"

"There are two ways to return to the Central Profound Realm. The first is to go back while the entrance hasn’t closed, or wait until the next time the entrance appears naturally. The second is to return through a boundary talisman."

Ji Ying answered without hesitation.

"Boundary talisman?"

"It’s the yellow talisman paper inside the storage ring."

Upon hearing Ji Ying’s words, Shen Changqing quickly found the corresponding item inside the storage ring.

A palm-sized yellow talisman paper, with mysterious patterns drawn on it, even with his insight, he couldn’t discern much from it.

But from the talisman paper.

Shen Changqing could also feel a similar aura to the Central Profound Realm.

If he’s not mistaken, this must be the boundary talisman Ji Ying mentioned.
