Other than the Tian Immortal Clan, the Nan Ge Immortal Clan, and the Ye Immortal Clan, the other two forces were the Confucian Sect and the Divine Saber Pavilion.
It wasn't difficult to tell the origins of these two forces. The former was a Confucian Sect, while the latter was a Saber Sect.
Confucian Sect!
Divine Saber Pavilion!
These two hegemonic powers were both sects, both of them supreme powers in the central regions of the western immortal realms. In the perspective of the entire western immortal realms, their foundations were extremely deep and they were truly colossal existences. Their strength was so great that they could stand shoulder to shoulder with the immortal races.
At this moment, the leading expert of the Confucian Sect had a cold look in his eyes. He was a middle-aged man with an elegant face. He was about 40 years old, and there was a scholarly aura between his eyebrows. He wore a moon-white Confucian robe, and his every movement was full of righteous Qi.
He glanced behind him, and his eyes flashed with sharpness. He said coldly, "The Confucian Sect will make him pay with his blood!"
His voice was filled with killing intent.
The Confucian Sect had lost two young experts. One of them was an Immortal Venerable seed, and he had died under the killing formation.
The Divine Saber Pavilion didn't suffer any losses, but they had to pay a price. The Immortal Venerable who was the leader of the Divine Saber Pavilion had withstood the Killing Light of Calamity in order to save his disciple. At this moment, his face was slightly pale, and his qi was fluctuating unsteadily.
"He gave me a Calamity Light of Calamity, and I gave him a saber. If he can take it, the Divine Saber Pavilion will let bygones be bygones." The leader of the Divine Saber Pavilion was a burly middle-aged man. His eyes were bright, and there was a flash of saber light, giving people a sense of sharpness.
He gave people a strong sense of oppression.
There was no doubt that he was a peerless Saber Venerable who stood in the Immortal Venerable Realm. His killing power was terrifying, and there were few people in the same realm who could compete with him.
"He has entered the Sword God Pagoda." Arisaema's gloomy eyes stared at the towering Sword God Pagoda in front of him. At this moment, he was no longer thinking about the inheritance and resources in the Sword God Pagoda. Instead, he was thinking about how to kill the person who had entered.
His Tian Immortal Clan had lost an Immortal King seed. If he couldn't kill the culprit, he wouldn't be able to give a satisfactory explanation to his clan.
He would have to bear a great amount of blame.
The Immortal King seed seed who had fallen under the Immortal Venerable Realm was not only his talent, more importantly, he was the grandson of an Immortal Venerable Realm expert of the Tian Immortal Clan.
"I must kill him..." Arisaema's eyes were as deep and serene as ice. Terrifying killing intent was brewing in his eyes. Then, he stepped forward and said, "The resources in the Sword God Pagoda can't be enjoyed by a dead man."
As he spoke, he led the experts of the Tian Immortal Clan's younger generation toward the Sword God Pagoda.
"Let's go!"
After that, the people from the other four powers all headed towards the Sword God Pagoda. Naturally, they couldn't let the duck that was already cooked and placed in their bowls escape. Instead, they wanted to eat it and swallow it into their stomachs.
Sword God Pagoda.
It was once extremely famous and was one of the three most precious secret realms of the Azure Sword Sect. It was shaped like a pagoda and had nine levels. However, there was another world within, with each level being a world. Each level of the pagoda was a vast world that contained the treasures and resources of the Azure Sword Sect, as well as the inheritances of supreme experts. Countless years ago, during that battle, there was an immortal-king-level expert from the Azure Sword Sect who personally acted, executing a heaven-defying secret art to seal the Sword God Pagoda, allowing it to avoid the flames of war and prevent other powers from plundering it.
And now, coincidentally, the Sword God Pagoda had appeared.
Sword God Pagoda, second floor.
Shen Changge stood under a parasol tree that covered the sky and the sun. He looked into the distance as if he was in an unknown world. In this space, the essence of heaven and earth was extremely rich. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was almost liquefied, forming a curtain of rain that fell down. Thin smoke floated above the ground, and the air of immortals was dense. It was like a holy land of immortals, transcending the mortal world.
"What a dense immortal dao substance." Shen Changge gasped in amazement. Shock appeared on his handsome face. Cultivating in such an environment would not only allow one to achieve twice the results with half the effort, but more importantly, one would be constantly baptized by the rich essence of heaven and earth. The immortal substance would be imperceptibly absorbed, allowing one to live in the golden age almost eternally. Their qi and blood would not decline, and their essence, qi, and spirit would not be cut by the knife of time.
At this moment, Shen Changge looked up at the branches and leaves of the parasol tree that covered the sky and the sun. He was amazed and thought of the words of a Taoist sage who once said, "Don't stop eating unless it's a parasol tree; don't eat unless it's a solid fruit; don't drink unless it's a spring!"
Whoosh!
It was said that the sage of the Taoist sect had subdued a Suanni Lion as his mount. He roamed the North Sea in the morning and the parasol tree in the evening. His understanding of heaven and earth had reached an extremely profound level. He was astonishingly talented, and he was invincible in the Immortal World for an era.
The parasol tree in front of him seemed to have lived for a long time. It was rooted in the ground, and its branches and leaves covered the sky and the sun. It seemed to have grown into an immortal tree. Every green leaf seemed to contain a rich vitality. It was crystal clear and actually overflowed with an immortal divine aura.
"Damn, this tree has become a spirit?" Shen Changge's eyes sparkled. He looked at the towering parasol tree in front of him. His breathing quickened, and his heart could not calm down.
The parasol tree's branches and leaves contained a rich essence of heaven and earth. Its effect was comparable to immortal medicine, and it was very beneficial to people. Even for experts in the Immortal Dao, if they could consume it, they would have indescribable benefits.
"I can't miss such an opportunity." Then, Shen Changge hurriedly picked the parasol tree's branches and leaves. His eyes were bright as if he was looking at a treasure.
He thought that even if he went back and drank tea, it would be a great enjoyment. What a wonderful thing it would be to improve one's cultivation while enjoying it.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the space trembled violently for a moment, and Shen Changge was startled. Soon after, he glanced down and his expression became sharp. "They came in?"
At this moment, he already understood the significance of the Sword God Pagoda to the Cangxuan Immortal Realm, or to the Heavenly Blue Sword Sect. It was one of the three great sacred grounds of the Heavenly Blue Sword Sect.
It was also the place where the Heavenly Blue Sword Sect tested the disciples.
There were nine levels in the Sword God Pagoda, and each level had a corresponding test. Only by successfully passing the test could one enter the next level.
Most importantly, the Sword God Pagoda was one of the three hubs of the killing formations in the Cangxuan Immortal Domain. In other words, if one could pass all the tests, they would be able to awaken the will of the Sword God Pagoda and completely control it. They would also be able to control one-third of the killing formations in the Cangxuan Immortal Domain.
Now, Shen Changge had already regarded the Sword God Pagoda as his private treasure trove. How could he allow others to enjoy the resources in the Sword God Pagoda?
This was intolerable!
It was simply unbearable!
"You bandits, get out of here!" Shen Changge's eyes were like cold stars. He looked down with a sharp expression, and the sound waves were like invisible energy ripples that spread and vibrated, transmitting downwards.
"Everything here is mine!"
Shen Changge's loud and cold voice transmitted down through the space wall, and resounded in the ears of the experts of the Tian Immortal Clan and other forces, causing their expressions to change slightly.
"Pass the test quickly and go up to kill him!" Tian Nanxing raised his eyes to look at the sky. Although he couldn't see, he knew that the other party had passed the first level's test and had entered the world above.
"Leave some people behind to guard. The rest of you, start the test and enter the next level!" The leading expert of the Divine Saber Pavilion spoke. His eyes bloomed with sharp saber light, and he was like a person who had been in a high position for a long time giving orders, giving off an unquestionable sense of oppression.
The experts of the other four forces didn't refute his suggestion. Instead, they agreed with him.
As mentioned in the previous agreement, the Sword God Pagoda had become a treasure trove that was jointly controlled by the five forces. Naturally, they needed to send experts to guard it and prevent others from entering the Sword God Pagoda.
They also regarded the Sword God Pagoda as their private treasure trove and didn't allow others to touch it.
Moreover, they had brought the outstanding talents of the younger generation of the various forces with them on this trip. There was no problem for them to pass the third level of the Sword God Pagoda.
Each force even had an Immortal King seed accompanying them. Even if it was the first few levels of the Sword God Pagoda, there was a high chance that they could pass.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
When they entered the second level of the Sword God Pagoda, Shen Changge had already entered the third level of the Sword God Pagoda.
In the long run, they were always left behind by Shen Changge. Unlike Shen Changge, the experts of the younger generation of the Tian Immortal Clan and the other forces were gradually eliminated. There were fewer and fewer people who could pass the test and go up.
When Shen Changge stepped into the eighth level, there were very few people from the Immortal Clan below who could enter the seventh level.
Moreover, the Immortal King seed of the Tian Immortal Clan had died under the killing formation in front of the Sword God Pagoda. This caused no one from the Tian Immortal Clan to be able to enter the seventh level. Even Tian Nanxing, who was in the Immortal Exalt Domain, couldn't.
The test set by the Sword God Pagoda didn't look at strength. Instead, it focused on talent. It was a talent test set by the Azure Sword Sect for the disciples.
Sword God Pagoda, eighth level.
Shen Changge's figure appeared on the summit of a steep and precipitous mountain. He stood proudly on the summit of the mountain, facing the wind. His long sleeves fluttered in the wind, and his magnificence was unmatched.
This expanse of the heavens and the earth was extremely different. It wasn't the ground below, and it was instead a boundless ocean that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was vast and boundless, and it was like an ocean of swords that flowed and surged. There was a sword mountain standing tall every 500km within the ocean of swords.
The sea of swords was surrounded by countless sword mountains.
Moreover, there would be sword aura shooting out from below the sea from time to time. The sharp aura contained within the sword light made even Shen Changge feel extremely dangerous.
It gave him a feeling of his heart palpitating.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
The tip of his foot lightly tapped on the summit of the mountain. Soon after, his figure was like a perfectly straight sword light that traversed the heavens and the earth. He crossed the surface of the sea of swords and shot towards the tallest sword mountain in the sea of swords.
"Bang!"
A moment later, Shen Changge descended on the tallest sword mountain in the sea of swords. Previously, he was like an immortal that had descended to the mortal world. But now, he looked rather miserable. His long hair was scattered and draped over his shoulders. His spotless white robe was filled with sword slashes. After descending, he didn't rush forward. Instead, he gently spat out a mouthful of turbid air to calm his surging blood.
It had to be said that the test of the eighth level was very difficult.
The sea of swords rose and fell as the waves hit the sky. It was a magnificent scene, but it contained extremely dangerous killing intent. The sea of swords seemed to be densely covered with a sword net. From time to time, there would be incomparably sharp sword aura surging up and killing towards the top.
Shen Changge relied on his powerful immortal sense to avoid most of them as much as possible. However, there were still sword auras that he couldn't perceive that hit him. Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough and he wasn't seriously injured.
Otherwise, if he was really hit by those sword auras, even he would be in danger of dying.
"That is …"
In a split second, Shen Changge was no longer calm. His eyes burst forth with a divine light as he looked ahead. His heart failed to live up to his expectations and began to thump violently as if he had discovered a new world. "What is this thing?"
In front of him, at the peak of the sword mountain, there was actually a plant that looked like a sword tree. Its branches and leaves were extremely sparse. There were a total of three branches and leaves, and on each of the branches and leaves, there was a fruit.
It looked … like a sword fruit!
"Mine, they're all mine!" Shen Changge's eyes lit up. He hurriedly moved forward and then raised his hand to pick the sword fruit on one of the branches and leaves. Suddenly, an incomparably sharp sword aura shot out from the sword fruit and slashed towards Shen Changge. Instantly, his pupils contracted violently. He instinctively leaned his body to the right. The sword aura shot past his left ear and cut off a strand of his hair.
"That was close!" Shen Changge's heart palpitated. This change was too sudden. He wasn't prepared at all. If it wasn't for the fact that his immortal sense was strong enough to sense a trace of fluctuation in advance, he would have been decapitated and become a headless corpse. From then on, he would accompany the sword tree as it bloomed and withered, and be admired as a ghost by those who came after him.
Or, he would be treated as the protector of the fruit. Who knows, he might even be ruthlessly whipped and killed by them.
After that, Shen Changge's eyes bloomed with resplendent sword light. He raised his hand and grabbed the sword fruit that was hanging down from the branches and leaves. However, in an instant, Shen Changge felt as if the river of time had stopped moving, giving him an extremely ancient feeling. Time seemed to have stopped flowing. As he stretched out his hand, that sword fruit seemed to have been activated and nurtured with spirituality. It evolved into a sword domain around it, and incomparably sharp sword aura surged endlessly. The sleeve on Shen Changge's right arm was torn apart, and his arm was also pierced by the endless sword aura. Dense sword scars appeared on his arm, and sacred immortal blood dripped down.
"Swish!"
With the sword fruit in his hand, Shen Changge hurriedly retreated. After that, he lowered his eyes to look at the fruit in his hand. He felt that what he plucked didn't feel like a fruit, but more like a ball of incomparably sharp sword aura. However, it gave him an extremely realistic feeling, and this caused him to be extremely shocked.
"Good stuff!" Shen Changge's eyes lit up, shining brilliantly. His gaze became resolute, and there was a kind of fearless spirit that wasn't afraid of sacrificing himself. He took large strides forward, adhering to the noble concept of "If I don't enter hell, then who will?", and started his plucking business.
After paying the price of being sleeveless, Shen Changge also plucked the other two sword fruits. However, before he could circulate the immortal energy in his body, his arm automatically absorbed the essence of heaven and earth. The sword scars all disappeared into nothingness, and his injuries were completely healed.
