Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation - Chapter 299: Qingchan's Position as Sword Master

A Qi Sea Realm cultivator, even among those first-rate immortal cultivation sects, undoubtedly represents an existence capable of standing on their own.

In the cultivation world of Chenping Continent, over ninety percent of cultivators, throughout their entire lives, can only ever reach the Lower Three Realms at most.

Just as previously mentioned, cultivators at the Qi Circulation Realm can already be respectfully addressed as “Upper Immortal” in the vast majority of mundane cities.

Those at the Martial Spring Realm are already as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, let alone the Qi Sea Realm.

The Five Great Sects control ninety percent of the cultivation resources in Chenping Continent.

And of the remaining one-tenth of cultivation resources, ninety percent of that is occupied by those top-tier and first-rate sects.

Second-rate sects might still get some leftover scraps, but as for rogue cultivators, one could say they find it difficult to even get a sip of soup.

This has also led to an extreme disparity between the top and bottom of the cultivation world in Chenping Continent.

And in a place like Yongluan City, where good and bad are mixed and most are rogue cultivators, a Qi Sea Realm cultivator can essentially walk sideways without fear.

Therefore, this was not the first time this group had done this kind of killing, robbing, and plundering.

Let alone these two cultivators, one big and one small, who looked utterly ordinary in their attire and of unknown origin.

Even the ferry of Zhuoshui Lake, they had once made a move to rob it before.

Zhuoshui Lake is a cultivation sect located over four thousand li away from Yongluan City, and its contemporary sect leader is a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Passable God Realm.

Although in the eyes of the major sects of the cultivation world, the so-called Zhuoshui Lake is just a small sect that can’t even make the list among second-rate sects.

But in the eyes of ordinary rogue cultivators, Zhuoshui Lake, with a fifth-realm cultivator presiding over it, is undoubtedly a local powerhouse.

Daring to move against even people from Zhuoshui Lake shows just how lawless this group is.

With their companion killed, the two leading Qi Sea Realm cultivators were visibly stunned for a moment.

Something’s not right.

That thread of true qi just now was very, very off.

It far exceeded their understanding of true qi control, which meant the other party’s cultivation level must be above their own.

A Passable God Realm cultivator, only a Passable God Realm cultivator could control true qi with such finesse, killing directly with true qi without relying on any technique.

They had kicked an iron plate.

The hearts of these two Qi Sea Realm cultivators both sank.

The group of Martial Spring Realm cultivators behind them still didn’t understand the situation. They knew the young cultivator standing before the carriage at this moment was strong, and they were definitely not his match.

But these Martial Spring Realm cultivators were extremely displeased.

“Then, I invite all of you to go and die.”

This casual, understated sentence uttered by the young man opposite was simply outrageously arrogant.

But for these Martial Spring Realm cultivators, even if they were no match for the young man opposite, if the sky fell, there were still the two Qi Sea Realm seniors in front to hold it up.

Slightly lowering their gaze, glancing twice at the corpse on the ground with its neck pierced by true qi, the two Qi Sea Realm cultivators exchanged a look and quickly settled on a decision.

A misunderstanding, it was all a misunderstanding.

One of the Qi Sea Realm cultivators took a step forward, about to bow and apologize, when a shout from a Martial Spring Realm cultivator behind him quickly followed:

“Senior Yue, finish off that punk!”

The Qi Sea Realm cultivator surnamed Yue turned his head to glare in the direction of the Martial Spring Realm cultivator who had just shouted. But the moment his gaze landed on that Martial Spring Realm cultivator, he saw the cultivator’s throat also pierced by true qi, causing him to fall backward.

Immediately after, it was straightforward, unadorned slaughter.

Chen Yan did not use any techniques, merely manipulating true qi purely.

The true qi was like a blade, moving with extreme swiftness through the crowd, easily slicing through the protective true qi of these bandits.

Then it sliced through their flesh and blood.

In just a few breaths, he had completely slaughtered all dozen or so cultivators who had boarded the ferry, including, of course, the two Qi Sea Realm cultivators.

Without the slightest effort, a complete and utter suppression.

According to this world’s cultivation system, trying to fight an enemy across a major realm boundary is almost an impossible feat.

Even someone with the talent to ascend to immortality cannot do it.

If one could casually kill enemies across major realms, then what exactly would be the point of having major realm divisions?

Up until now, the only person Chen Yan knows of who can kill across major realms is himself.

It’s not that his talent is overwhelmingly exceptional, it’s just that the Great Derivation Art is far too overpowered.

But from a certain perspective, Chen Yan believes his own actions are not truly killing across realms.

After all, utilizing the spiritual energy, or even immortal energy, derived from the Great Derivation Art, is that not also a kind of alternative, higher-dimensional strike against a lower realm?

“…”

After everything ended, Si Youyou lifted the carriage curtain, her gaze directed at the dozen or so corpses lying haphazardly on the ferry deck.

Then she raised her head again, glancing twice at Chen Yan standing with his hands clasped behind his back in front of the carriage.

The young girl’s heart was utterly calm, she had long grown accustomed to it. Similar things had happened back when she was six years old, the first time she met Chen Yan and Mr. You.

“How should we deal with these people? Throw them off the boat?”

The young girl simply asked Chen Yan this.

“No.”

Chen Yan shook his head. These corpses absolutely could not be disposed of so casually.

After pondering for a moment, he turned and ducked into the carriage:

“Just leave them as they are for now.”

…

Kongshan Sect, Qingchan Peak’s Caijun Tower.

A man with a lean, gaunt face sat on a meditation cushion, his eyes lightly closed.

And within the main hall of Caijun Tower, two elders wearing Qingchan Peak’s daoist robes knelt, their heads slightly bowed, not daring to move a muscle.

They had been kneeling here for thirteen hours.

Until the gaunt man on the cushion slowly opened his eyes.

“Disciple Fu Qian pays respects to Patriarch Kong!”

“Disciple Bai Qiming pays respects to Patriarch Kong!”

The two elders kneeling in the main hall of Caijun Tower hurriedly spoke.

“Do you know why I summoned you two here?”

Lu Li asked.

“Please instruct us, Patriarch Kong!”

Fu Qian, already kneeling on the hall’s floor, bowed in this manner as he spoke.

These two Myriad Transformations Realm Peak Elders, before True Person Kong, didn’t even dare call themselves juniors.

They had even taken off the clothes they usually wore, neatly donning the standard Qingchan Peak daoist robes instead.

These two elders had been playing chess against each other for most of their lives, but who could have imagined that the figure they originally regarded as a chess piece would turn out to be a figure of ancestral level from their own peak?

“The position of Qingchan Sword Master has been vacant for several months now.”

Lu Li said slowly.

“Yes.”

Bai Qiming replied.

The Sword Master Elder of Qingchan Peak, after Chu Chen broke through to the upper three realms and became a Grand Elder, was originally supposed to be succeeded by Lu Li.

But four months ago, with the revival of the Great Dao in Chenping Continent and the return of True Person Caiyun, Kong Yang, the position of Qingchan Sword Master once again became vacant.
