Chapter 45 Observing the Heavens and Holding the Sword
"Difficult, let's take another look."
Old Wu stared intently at the name: "I'm not confident I can kill this thing. Shangqing Immortal Light only has one chance. If I fail to kill it and it gets used to it, then it'll be terrible."
"At this point, the only option is to ask the local deity to issue an edict to further suppress the situation."
"Humans, don't go too far!"
Seeing these extraterrestrial demons still waiting and hesitating, the local deity couldn't help but roar angrily, "Believe me or not, I'll leave right now!"
"Where can you go?"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator from Baiyun Temple sneered with a smile, "Your ancient beast hasn't even left Xiaoqing Kingdom yet. Do you really think we don't know?"
As the deities of this world, the earth gods naturally have responsibilities.
This territory of Xiaoqing Kingdom is His territory. If He really leaves, He will definitely be caught by the Day Wanderer God and then he will be in deep trouble.
If He wants to leave, He must expand His territory. The distance the ancient beast travels under the decree will be His territory.
Otherwise, why would He be at the very front?
Upon hearing this, the local deity was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
"Very well, you human! Once this matter is settled, this place will be barren for a hundred years!"
He made such a threat.
"Oh dear, don't be so serious."
The Foundation Establishment cultivator from Yucheng hurriedly spoke up as a peacemaker: "There's no need, really no need. We're just waiting for an opportunity."
"Even if you don't trust us, don't you trust the Shangqing Palace?"
Shangqing Palace?
Upon hearing these three words, the local deity's expression finally softened somewhat.
He snorted, and the divine power of the decree in his hand grew even stronger. The ground beneath his feet and the mountaintops transformed into even more ancient beasts.
These ancient beasts gradually grew stronger, starting from the eighth or ninth level of Qi and Blood, and progressing to the first or second level of the Acquired Realm.
"We can't let him continue to push for a baby like this."
Wenren Yu frowned and said to Dongfang Dongyang beside her, "Master, why don't I go down and kill some of them?"
"This land god can use this opportunity as an excuse to abuse the power of his divine authority. Even if we eventually deal with that ancient god who has been resurrected, these things will still be difficult to handle."
"Hmm...aren't you afraid of angering them?"
Dongfang Dongyang stared at the spot in the arena where the name was located, where dark shadows continued to gather and solidify.
These ancient names and their corresponding deities actually have a unified name—Ancient Gods.
They came from an incredibly ancient era, long ago their tribes were extinct, their names erased, and they were forgotten in the river of time.
The ancient gods are immortal.
Thus, by various coincidences, these beings will reappear in the world. Once their names appear, or even things related to them appear, they can quickly revive like sparks igniting a prairie fire.
In this world, there are gods under various rules. The Earth God, as the most accessible god, can use the power of his divine authority to block them.
"Master, a single local deity cannot cause much harm, but these ancient beasts alone are enough to cause considerable losses to my Qingcheng Mountain Academy."
Wenren Yu looked at the increasing number of ancient beasts, the most powerful of which had already reached the fourth level of the Acquired Realm.
The power of the Earth God continues to be unleashed, seemingly inexhaustible and everlasting.
"They are nothing but acquired beasts, they can't even reach the innate foundation building stage."
Dongfang Dongyang shook his head: "Let's wait and see if Senior Brother Wu can find a way to defeat that ancient god in one fell swoop."
They wanted to exploit the land, and the land wanted to exploit the ancient gods.
To put it bluntly, both sides have only one goal: to make this name disappear from the world once again.
"Why are you still waiting?"
Suddenly, a clear, cold voice broke through the crowd, and everyone instinctively turned around to look, only to see a beam of light rushing towards them from the darkness.
Zhang Yunqing flew through the air with her hands behind her back, a long sword piercing between heaven and earth beside her, almost invisible. Often, in the blink of an eye, an ancient beast would fall to the ground, its blood gushing out.
The sword continued to blur, and more and more ancient beasts were emerging, bleeding profusely.
"How dare you!"
The local deity was furious: "Who is so ungrateful as to kill my people!"
He was about to turn around and suppress the newcomer, but the next second, after seeing the newcomer's face clearly, all his words were choked in silence.
It's this woman!
He felt uneasy; how come she wasn't dead yet?
The Foundation Establishment cultivators on the human side twitched their eyelids and subconsciously looked at Zhang Yunqing, noticing that the number [10] appeared on her arm.
She eventually came back.
Some people instinctively looked away, while others wore smiles.
"So he is the chief disciple of Shangqing Palace."
The Foundation Establishment cultivator in Yucheng sighed and said, "I heard just a couple of days ago that several alien races were wiped out. I was wondering which family was behind it. It turns out it was you who came back."
"The destruction of those who are sages but lack teaching is in accordance with the natural order of Heaven."
Zhang Yunqing looked down from a high altitude, her voice sharp: "Still haven't found a flaw?"
"The details of this person's identity are currently unknown."
A Foundation Establishment cultivator's gaze probed her face, seemingly trying to discern her reaction, and he spoke slowly:
"Your senior brother also came, but he couldn't find a solution either."
"It's just a name; it can be destroyed."
Zhang Yunqing took two steps forward, and the longsword floating beside her seemed to be blurring again.
"Yunqing."
Old Wu's voice came from high above: "Calm down. Your senior master knows you are angry, but the name of the ancient god is no small matter."
This is something that must be handled with great care.
Suddenly, the situation on the field changed.
Something seemed to be spreading in the shadows, and an eye began to emerge from the dark outline.
As soon as the eye appeared, a blood-red light began to spread from the darkness, gradually extending to the entire territory of the Little Qing Kingdom.
"Oh no, He's acting strangely again!"
The earth god's tone was undisguised in his fear as he forcefully raised the decree of divine pardon in his hand, trying to suppress the shadow.
But as the thing remained attached to his eyes, it became increasingly terrifying, and the previously faint sound grew louder and louder.
"This is bad! Why aren't you making a move? I can't hold back any longer!"
The land deity's voice trembled; he had exhausted all his strength.
Zhang Yunqing's eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Observe the way of Heaven, and act in accordance with Heaven."
She murmured softly, and as she spoke, a scarred foundation within her body began to manifest.
When they saw that Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator, the eyelids of the Foundation Establishment cultivators present twitched wildly. It was a miracle that he was still alive despite such severe Dao injuries!
"Those mere ancient gods? I've killed them before!"
She walked towards the shadows: "You will never have another chance to come back. The current Heavenly Dao no longer provides the soil for your birth."
As Zhang Yunqing moved forward, Old Man Wu quickly stood up, his body radiating Shangqing Immortal Light, ready to help at any moment.
"die!"
Zhang Yunqing suddenly made a move, but not at the shadow. Instead, she turned and flipped over, drawing her sword against the land deity who was using a divine decree to suppress the ancient god!
"Earth God, give me back my junior brother's life!"
