Chapter 1106 - 1105: The Restless Thirty-Six Sects

The news of the Battle of Mount Putuo spread far and wide, causing a commotion throughout the Kunlun Realm!

Originally.

In everyone's view, Vajra Temple was not like Taotian Palace; having endured multiple wars, its power remained intact. Plus, with the Buddhist sect betting on millennia of fortunes, any move would undoubtedly crush its enemy like a mighty force, easily slaughtering Ye Qingchen.

But who would have expected that Ye Qingchen, wielding supreme divine might, first slew Fuhong, then severed the thousand-year fortunes of the Buddhist sect. The strength he displayed was fearsome to the extreme!

"The terror of Ye the Demon is unparalleled in this world! The Buddhist sect exerted everything they had, yet couldn't withstand his single-handed might!"

An experienced strongman clicked his tongue in wonder.

"Hmm, since he's determined to sweep away the Thirty-Six Sects, then why not have the Thirty-Six Sects unite and slay Ye the Demon together!"

Someone in the Sunset Sect snorted coldly.

"If the Thirty-Six Sects continue their internal conflicts, the Southern Heaven might truly become a Chaotic Scene under Ye the Demon's tyranny!"

Someone exclaimed in awe.

With Vajra Temple exterminated.

The Southern Heaven was thoroughly thrown into turmoil.

"Boom!"

In the Sword Vein Sect.

The heavens and earth shook, and there was the sound of swords roaring into the sky!

Everyone saw it.

A giant sword of heaven and earth shot skyward from the sect, its blade stretching eight thousand zhang, piercing the clouds and skies as Sword Qi reached the heavens.

The Sect Leader of Sword Vein Sect, Ye Xuanji, had emerged.

This Sect Leader of Sword Vein Sect had not taken action for over a thousand years. Once a down-and-out scholar, he joined Sword Vein Sect at thirty-nine and unveiled an extraordinary Sword Dao. His mastery of the 'Star Sword Scripture' elevated the previously obscure Sword Vein Sect into the ranks of the Thirty-Six Sects.

He had not acted for nearly a thousand years, rumored to be continually comprehending Sword Dao!

Immediately after.

Someone discovered a phenomenon of two suns appearing simultaneously in the sky above the Sunset Sect. And within that blazing sun was an old Daoist, broad-shouldered and youthful despite his white hair, strolling in the clouds!

Sunset Sect's Sect Leader Kou Pingtian!

Within Sunset Sect, there's a Cultivation Technique called 'Star Sea'. In the sect, to cultivate, one must illuminate a star in the sky. Since antiquity, excluding the founding ancestor, every Sect Leader without exception has illuminated the Taiyin.

Only Kou Pingtian illuminated the Sun!

"Who would have thought even Kou Pingtian would come forth!"

The Southern Heaven was in an uproar.

Ye Xuanji, Kou Pingtian, these were figures from the same era as Fuhong, long disengaged from worldly affairs. Who would have thought they'd all be stirred this time!

"First Ye Qingchen flattened Taotian Palace, then leveled Vajra Temple, these people couldn't stay idle! If they keep scheming against each other, they might truly watch Ye Qingchen's demonic flames overrun Southern Heaven!"

Countless people lamented.

It's not just Sword Vein Sect, Sunset Sect.

Within the Southern Heaven.

The sects that had been indifferent, seeking peace, also began to stir.

In Giant Spirit Sect!

Someone witnessed a man as massive as a tower stepping skyward, like the Giant Spirit God from ancient myths. Every step he took caused the mountains to shake as if a beast had stepped forth!

Wind Thunder Stronghold!

A tumultuous figure, wielding the wind and thunder of heaven and earth, swiftly emerged.

Red Rainbow Sect!

Silver Frost Sect!

Numerous sects rapidly moved upon hearing the news.

The entire Southern Heaven instantly became lively!

For most cultivators.

A Celestial Immortal battle was once an unreachable realm. Some, their entire lives, might never even touch upon such events. Yet now, these occurrences kept emerging one after another, triggering a vast wave of astonishment!

Countless cultivators passionately discussed all news related to these events, coming alive with excitement.

But this scene, in the eyes of top-level Earth Immortals, or even Half-Step Celestial Immortals, suddenly took on a terrifying aspect!

"Oh heavens, Sunset Sect's Kou Pingtian, Sword Vein Sect's Ye Xuanji! Giant Spirit Sect, Wind Thunder Stronghold, Red Rainbow Sect..."

The appearance of each sect brought about a frenzy of exclamations.

After all.

The simultaneous emergence of so many Celestial Immortals defied logic.

"These Celestial Immortals finally couldn't sit still!"

A knowledgeable one sneered coldly:

"Earlier, the Thirty-Six Sects pinned all hope on the Vajra Temple, wishing to reap benefits as a bystander. Watching Ye the Demon and the Buddhist sect mutually defeat, then stepping in to gather the spoils!"

"But Ye the Demon is too strong, even when the Buddhist sect wagered everything, they were razed to the ground. This time, the Thirty-Six Sects dare not wait any longer; they can only seek to unite!"

"Correct!"

A message emerged from within the Thirty-Six Sects:

"Ye Qingchen is too strong, the Thirty-Six Sects were thoroughly frightened this time; if they don't unite, they might truly be flattened by Ye the Demon!"

"Is Ye the Demon truly that strong?"

Someone expressed astonishment.

"Ye the Demon was once hailed as the First Earth Immortal!"

Within the Thirty-Six Sects, someone responded with a cold laugh:

"In his Earth Immortal phase, he already slew several Celestial Immortals, showing immense strength. Now stepping into Celestial Immortal, how could he be ordinary? If he's not vanquished, Southern Heaven might see the re-enactment of thousands of years ago when Celestial Demons wreaked havoc!"

This statement triggered a clamor throughout Southern Heaven.

Celestial Demon chaos?

That was the darkest period thousands of years ago in Southern Heaven!

Yet.

More people believed that once the Thirty-Six Sects united, Ye Qingchen would inevitably meet his doom. They eagerly discussed how Ye Qingchen might face such a dire situation!

Just as Southern Heaven was in turmoil.

"It's right here!"

Ye Qingchen had arrived at Vajra Temple.

Originally.

According to his plan, he would completely eradicate the Buddhist orthodoxy, severing the Buddhist sect's inheritance. After all, the Buddhist sect is cunning; given enough time, they would surely resurrect.

Yet.

Vajra Temple agreed to offer millennia of foundation as compensation, only hoping to continue a thread of lineage.

Ye Qingchen hesitated slightly, then agreed.

"This is the Medicine Pavilion of our Vajra Temple!" An Elder Bai Mei, respectfully led the way, possessing only the Earth Immortal Seventh Layer. With many strong figures fallen, the remaining monks followed him.

Moments later, the two stepped into a massive pavilion.

"Here lies the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures collected by Vajra Temple for thousands of years! Only Spiritual Treasures of celestial ranks are placed here!"

"Indeed!"

Ye Qingchen nodded with his hands behind him, expressing satisfaction.

The pavilion was tall, resembling a Heaven-Reaching Tower. Surrounding it, cabinets arranged in circular structure rose skyward. Each Heavenly and Earthly Treasure was nestled in specially crafted Brocade Boxes, radiating brilliance.

There were weapons, magical treasures, materials, Spirit Medicine.

Ye Qingchen's figure gently ascended, as each Spirit Medicine came into view, his smile widened.

"Vajra Temple was worth visiting!"

Ye Qingchen nodded contentedly.

Though newly entering the Celestial Immortal stage, his combat power was comparable to the Celestial Immortal Third Layer. If these Spirit Medicines advanced him further, he could improve his cultivation by another threefold to face the upcoming assault from the Thirty-Six Sects.

"With my current strength, facing the united Thirty-Six Sects, the odds aren't favorable..."

"Vajra Temple's Heavenly and Earthly Treasures are plentiful, but insufficient to counter the Thirty-Six Sects' retaliation!"

"Wait, what is that?"

As Ye Qingchen pondered, his Divine Sense suddenly touched upon a string of bracelets, within which surged an overwhelming vitality. His gaze shifted to the highest point of the treasure pavilion, his eyes filling with delight!
