The Thousand Spirit Sect, one of the top sects in Zhongzhou, had been developing rapidly in recent decades. A hundred years ago, they broke through the forbidden node of the Li Fire Sect's weapon pavilion and gained a huge amount of wealth.
With sufficient resources, the Thousand Spirit Sect's disciples developed rapidly. They swallowed a few small sects and selected many outstanding disciples to strengthen their sect.
In addition, the Thousand Spirit Sect's sect master, Thousand Spirit Abyss, had reached the late stage. Now, there were two late stage Yuanying cultivators in the sect.
For a time, even Tiandao Sect and Hehuan Sect did not dare to compete with them. They sent their disciples to congratulate them.
After receiving the goodwill of the two sects, Thousand Spirit Abyss did not deliberately expand their sect's power. They only continued to maintain the status of the three top sects.
In fact, the two sects only hurriedly met Thousand Spirit Abyss once. As for the original Thousand Spirit Sect cultivator, He Weiming, they did not have the chance to meet. Thousand Spirit Abyss only said that He Weiming had been in seclusion for a hundred years. The guests did not dare to ask.
Thousand Spirit Abyss was unusually helpless. Nearly a hundred years ago, there was an urgent message from the Ancestral Hall. The soul lamp that was enshrined in the center with He Weiming's name had suddenly extinguished. This situation frightened the two disciples on duty. In a panic, they informed Shi Qianwei, who was in charge of the sect, and then alerted Thousand Spirit Abyss.
After confirming that there was no mistake, Thousand Spirit Abyss immediately sealed off the news. The Ancestral Hall was a forbidden area, and the two disciples on duty were to cultivate in seclusion and not leak any information.
In this way, the news of He Weiming's death was concealed. After that, even Thousand Spirit Abyss, as a late stage Yuanying cultivator, could not free himself to expand his territory.
He knew that if Thousand Spirit Sect did not have a late stage Yuanying cultivator, the small and medium-sized sects that were usually suppressed would immediately change sides.
But He Weiming's death was indeed suspicious. In terms of strength, some of the secret realms in this world would at most be trapped for a while. It was basically impossible to take his life.
But the truth was so. Thousand Spirit Abyss specially went to the Astrology Mountain to ask All-seer for a divination. The result was that the time of He Weiming's death and the soul lamp's extinguishing matched.
With such certainty, Thousand Spirit Abyss repeatedly asked All-seer to keep it a secret. All-seer also tactfully agreed. After that, he went into seclusion and would not appear unless it was an important matter.
All-seer's words did not make Thousand Spirit Abyss feel at ease. Spirit Abyss was alone. Thousand Spirit Abyss, he was lucky, Shi Ningjun and others to help him in charge of the Astrology Mountain.
The sect's affairs were entrusted to Shi Qianwei, while he himself returned to Kunwu Cave to cultivate in seclusion, striving to consolidate his cultivation base.
Just like that, a few decades later, one night, Qian Lingyuan, who was sitting in Kun Wu Cave, suddenly sensed that someone had entered the forbidden area. He slightly extended his Divine Sense to investigate and found that the person who had entered was the acting Sect Master, Shi Qianwei.
.'s Thousand Spirit Sect's Sect.'s's's's's Sect's Sect's's's's sect's's Sect ''s Sect' Sect's Sect's sects's....
. "Her voice penetrated the cave's' restrictions. Shaoqing's' sects' restrictions shook, revealing a three feet wide opening. A golden beam of light flew out and landed not far from Shi Qianwei.
When the golden light faded, Thousand Spirit Abyss's's's's's' appeared. He glanced at Shi Qianwei and said, "What's the change? Tell me quickly."
Shi Qianwei did not speak further. She handed over a jade scroll. Thousand Spirit Abyss did not even think as he opened the jade scroll and scanned it with his mind.
Three seconds later, he said with a puzzled look, "Why does this Li Fire Sect's Sect Master Yi Tian have the same name as the southern border's Ming Wang Sacred Son? Could they be the same person?"
"I have sent people to investigate this matter. The new Li Fire Sect's Sect Master is the Ming Wang Sacred Son. Does Sect Ancestor have any instructions?" Shi Qianwei asked respectfully.
Thousand Spirit Abyss fell into deep thought after hearing this. If that was the case, things would not be easy to handle. He had seen the Ming Wang Sacred Son's' strength three hundred years ago. He never expected him to be able to unify the Li Fire Sect. This was something Thousand Spirit Abyss had never dreamed of.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt a burning pain from the jade scroll in his left hand. Thousand Spirit Abyss was alarmed as he hurriedly circulated his Qi to force out the fiery Qi that had invaded his body.
However, under the suppression of his spiritual energy, there was no improvement. Instead, the fiery Qi that had invaded his body seemed to be constantly devouring his spiritual energy. It was like adding fuel to the fire.
Thousand Spirit Abyss knew that something was amiss. He immediately made a decision as he endured the pain and stretched out his right hand to slash at the scarlet red left wrist. Immediately, his left hand was chopped off.
The left hand that had been corroded by the fiery Qi's spiritual energy instantly burned violently. In three seconds, it was burned to ashes.
Thousand Spirit Abyss's face turned solemn as he stretched out his right hand to slash at Shi Qianwei. However, the moment the sword attack came within five feet of Shi Qianwei, it was blocked by a green sword beam.
The sword attack was exactly the same, but the power was stronger. Thousand Spirit Abyss said angrily with a sullen face, "Shi Qianwei, you colluded with outsiders to harm your Ancestral Master. You are deceiving your Ancestral Master."
Shi Qianwei calmly replied, "If it was really my Shi family's Ancestral Master, it would naturally be treacherous. However, for someone like you who has taken over his body, how can you say that I am deceiving my Ancestral Master?"
Thousand Spirit Abyss's face twitched as he hurriedly shouted, "What did you say? If it wasn't for the fact that I was fated with your Shi family's Ancestral Master, I wouldn't have helped you and your Ancestral Master."
"I'm afraid that you feel guilty. Or perhaps it's because your soul has not completely merged with my Ancestral Master Time's soul, that's why you have compassion for my Grandfather. Thousand Spirit Abyss, no, I should call you Ancestral Master Qian Lingzi. It's a pity that you are just his avatar." Shi Qianwei said disdainfully.
"How do you know about this? Who told you about this?" Thousand Spirit Abyss's face was ferocious at this time. His left wrist shook violently, and a lump of flesh grew rapidly. Not long after, the severed left hand grew back.
Then Thousand Spirit Abyss stared at an empty place beside Shi Qianwei and said, "Show yourself, Yi Tian. I know you are here."
A few spirit power ripples appeared in the void. After three breaths, a figure appeared out of thin air. It was Yi Tian who had come from afar.
Looking at Thousand Spirit Abyss in front of him, Yi Tian couldn't help but think of Qian Lingzi who he had fought in the Sea Eye at the end of the Horizon Sea. He smiled and said, "I haven't seen Thousand Spirit Abyss for a long time. It seems that your Soul Splitting Technique is really something. Even after your original body was destroyed, your avatar wasn't affected at all."
Thousand Spirit Abyss's eyelids trembled a few times when he heard this. He said involuntarily, "You have been to the Sea Eye Whirlpool."
"Not only have I been there, I have also erased Luo Que and your original body from this world. You people from the Upper Realm have made the Tianlan Continent a mess after descending to the Lower Realm. It's time to clean it up. "Yi Tian curled his lips.
Thousand Spirit Abyss stretched out his hand, and suddenly thousands of golden light scattered from his hand. The target was actually to shroud Shi Qianwei. It seemed that he had also analyzed the unfavorable situation in front of him. He wanted to get rid of Shi Qianwei first before dealing with Yi Tian with all his strength.
The same green sword silk suddenly appeared in front of Shi Qianwei. After forming a sword net, it intercepted all the golden sword silk.
The two of them were worthy of being the leaders of the late Yuanying Realm. In such a close fight, the sword moves in their hands were completely intertwined, and not a single sword was missed.
After one move, Yi Tian flashed in front of Shi Qianwei. He then lowered his head and instructed, "You go out first and open the big formation of the forbidden area. I will come out soon."
Shi Qianwei nodded and replied, "Husband, be careful." After saying this, she hurriedly flew out of the battle circle. After arriving at the entrance of the forbidden area, she formed a seal with both hands and activated a spell to seal the entire valley.
Thousand Spirit Abyss's face turned pale. He looked at the white light shield above the valley. The original protective prohibition had now become a prison to imprison him.
He turned around and coldly shouted, "You are indeed a crafty fellow. I have really underestimated you. I did not expect you to have made contact with Shi Qianwei three hundred years ago."
Yi Tian curled his lips and laughed disdainfully, "You think too highly of yourself, Thousand Spirit Abyss. Shi Qianwei and I have already become Dao companions 450 years ago. Moreover, I am sincere to her. I am not like you who is affected by the soul and has a hypocritical face all day long."
Thousand Spirit Abyss was obviously hit where it hurt. He immediately formed a seal with both hands and the spiritual sword in his hand condensed into a solid form and threw it towards Yi Tian. What he did not expect was that Yi Tian in front of him actually used the exact same move. Moreover, the power of the move seemed to be on par.
He only heard Yi Tian say, "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin." After saying this, the sword silk condensed into a thick spiritual sword and flew straight towards Thousand Spirit Abyss.
With a loud bang, the two sword moves violently collided within a range of less than one mile. The aroused spiritual pressure fluctuations that could be seen with the naked eye turned into layers of circular waves that scattered in all directions. The restriction of the valley shook violently.
Fortunately, Shi Qianwei was outside presiding over the big formation. After ten breaths, the white light film of the restriction slowly stabilized.
After the smoke dissipated, a ten feet wide and five feet deep pit appeared in the valley where the two were originally standing. Thousand Spirit Abyss's consciousness swept across Yi Tian in front of him. He saw that the other party was calm and composed, and these moves seemed to be casually executed.
"Seeing that you have spent a lot of effort to cultivate the secret technique of my Thousand Spirit Sect to such a level, did He Weiming die in your hands?"
"I was indeed present when Fellow He died." Yi Tian did not deny and replied, "Do you know what his last words were?"
"What were they?" Thousand Spirit Abyss asked coldly.
"Fellow Daoist He can be considered a friend of mine despite the difference in age. The thing he regretted the most in his life was not being able to kill you with his own hands." Yi Tian shook his head and sighed, "His last wish was for me to kill you with my own hands to comfort his soul in heaven."
"Nonsense, He Weiming and I were from the same sect and were as close as brothers. What reason did he have to kill me?" Thousand Spirit Abyss shouted.
"Could it be that after your soul was assimilated, you have forgotten all these things?" Yi Tian said disdainfully. "Your Thousand Spirit Sect's cultivation method restrains Fellow He's branch sect in all aspects. You also prepared a spirit stealing method to take people's spiritual power. This is simply not something that can be done in public."
Thousand Spirit Abyss's face darkened. He said angrily, "So he contacted you a long time ago. You have been planning this for a long time. I presume that the information about the node to break into the Fire Tool Pavilion came from you."
"If there were no great benefits, how could I lure you out of the sect?" Yi Tian said proudly.
Thousand Spirit Abyss looked suspiciously at Yi Tian, but said, "Luring the tiger away from the mountain? Could it be that your ultimate goal is to enter my cave residence? "
"You only realized now?" Yi Tian's eyes turned serious as he said, "I really feel sorry for you. You've been guarding the transmission channel of the Sky-sea Pavilion all day and yet you don't even realize it. It seems that after your Soul Possession, there are indeed great drawbacks. Some key information has been forgotten."
He held the Taiyuan Sword in his right hand and took out the Clear Sky Mirror with his left hand. He then muttered, "Appear."
A white light shot out and found Thousand Spirit Abyss's body. Thousand Spirit Abyss couldn't dodge in this space. After being covered by the white light, it became very difficult for him to use his spiritual power.
When the white light shone into the Niwan Palace between his eyebrows, it directly froze the Nascent Soul inside.
Yi Tian quickly scanned with his Divine Will. He saw that Yuanying's spiritual body was very different from ordinary cultivators. It was 70% gold and 30% white.
Needless to say, the 30% white was the soul of the Shi family ancestor, and the remaining 70% was Qian Lingzi's avatar.
But for some reason, even though Qian Lingzi occupied more than half of it, he didn't gain full control.
At this moment, the young Nascent Soul spirit was looking at Yi Tian in front of him in panic. Perhaps he had never expected to be restrained in such a manner, but he managed to say, "Supreme Sky Mirror, you are really a remnant of the Li Fire Sect."
Yi Tian, however, paid no attention to this. He casually put away the Taiyuan Sword in his hand and directly conjured a wisp of white flame at his fingertips. The seemingly weak flame immediately raised the surrounding temperature by a large margin. Then, it flashed through the air a few times and instantly disappeared into the forehead of the Thousand Spirit Abyss. Then, it directly broke into the Thousand Spirit Abyss's Niwan Palace and ignited the Nascent Soul.
A scream came from Thousand Spirit Abyss's Yuanying, "Nan Ming Li Fire."
This was the last sentence Yi Tian heard from Thousand Spirit Abyss. After three breaths, the Yuanying's spiritual body was burned to ashes.
After retrieving the True Flame and Clear Sky Mirror, Yi Tian found that Thousand Spirit Abyss was only left with an empty shell. He stood there motionless. His eyes were dim and the spiritual energy around him had dropped to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Thinking about it carefully, it should be the remaining spiritual energy in his body that was similar to this. This corpse was no different from a supreme treasure to a corpse cultivator, but it was nothing more than a burden to him.
After collecting all the useful things on his body, Yi Tian raised his hand and ignited a cluster of Mysterious Sun Fire, directly burning him to ashes.
A month later, the Central State Cultivation World sent another message. Thousand Spirit Sect's Thousand Spirit Abyss had passed the position of Sect Master to his grand-disciple, Shi Qianwei. He himself was in seclusion in the forbidden land. As for his disciple, Shi Ningjun, he was concurrently an Elder of the Sect to assist his granddaughter, Shi Qianwei. Tian Yun Sect's All-seer was requested by Shi Ningjun to come out of seclusion and become an Elder of the Thousand Spirit Sect. He was to help the Shi family manage the Sect.
