Three thousand prefectures, an ancient and vast land.
Xia Mangqing used his extraordinary ability to dream of the Three Realms to find the Heavenly Kingdom's lair. This sect was very well hidden and was famous for its assassinations, making it difficult for ordinary people to find.
But Xia Mangqing still found him and came here.
boom!
Xia Mangqing waved his sleeve, and his supreme magical power plummeted like a giant star, suddenly landing on a mountain range shrouded in mist.
As soon as the magic struck, the boundary of a small world was smashed open, revealing its interior.
"Who goes there?!"
Within the small world, creatures roared, but more than anything, they were filled with terror. This place had actually been breached; the one who made the move must be an unparalleled master.
"This realm is quite nice; it's mine now."
Xia Mangqing said calmly, enveloped in chaotic light.
This small world is very special; it contains immortal matter, which is truly rare in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. It would be a waste to use it as a lair for these assassins.
sigh~
One after another, figures disappeared into the void. This was the Heavenly Kingdom's assassination technique. In this small world, there were mostly old monsters. Ordinary Heavenly Kingdom assassins were not qualified to enter here.
At this moment, they made their move, attempting to assassinate Xia Mangqing.
But Xia Mangqing simply tossed it aside, and a sword gourd burst forth with light, unleashing boundless sword beams that cleaved away countless living beings. Explosions continued to occur in the void, and blood mist filled the air.
At the same time, the sword gourd, like a gluttonous beast, frantically devoured resentment and hatred as it refined a divine weapon. This sword gourd had long ago been refined into a supreme weapon by the main body's avatar, but it was not taken to the Immortal Realm; instead, it was left to the avatars in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
This time he is going to conquer three thousand Dao states, which is a good opportunity to refine them. If he can refine them into immortal artifacts, it will be enough to enhance his combat power.
Sword light rained down, covering this small world. The creatures roared, but it was all in vain. Even the Lord of Heaven, who was at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, was killed by a single sword beam.
It should be noted that Xia Mangqing at this moment is an Extreme Dao Supreme, and the power of the sword gourd activated by his magic is unimaginable.
In an instant, this little world was devoid of life.
Chi!
But at that moment, a sword aura suddenly appeared from the void, terrifying beyond measure, like a celestial being descending from the heavens, its brilliance dazzling, aimed directly at Xia Mangqing's head.
Ding!
As the sword gourd moved, a sword light pierced through the universe, shattering the sword energy.
"You're far too lacking in void techniques."
Xia Mangqing remained calm as he pressed down with his palm, shattering the entire void. Immediately afterward, a black shadow flew backward with a palm print on its chest and blood spilling from the corner of its mouth, clearly injured.
"Who exactly are you?"
This is a supreme being, but he is very old, almost to the point where he can no longer leave this small world, and his blood and energy are nearly exhausted.
Moreover, he failed to reach the ultimate realm, and even if he returned to his peak, he would still be no match for Xia Mangqing.
"No need for further words, today I will annihilate your lineage."
Xia Mangqing said calmly, and with a thought, a sword light shot out from the sword gourd, which was the sword light of the Immortal Tribulation.
The Supreme Being of Heaven roared, reaching the pinnacle of sublimation and unleashing ultimate power, but the Immortal Tribulation Sword Light was too terrifying, piercing through time and the void, as if nothing could stop it.
In the blink of an eye, he pierced through the head of the Heavenly Sovereign, and also pierced through his primordial spirit!
In an instant, a strange phenomenon occurred, with blood raining down from the sky, as if the heavens were weeping for the fall of a supreme being. However, Xia Mangqing dispersed the blood rain with a wave of his hand, and at the same time sealed off and isolated the area.
Furthermore, the world is filled with boundless sins and resentments, far exceeding what one could gain from slaughtering an entire small world. These sins and resentments originate from the Supreme Being and are naturally vast and boundless, but they are precisely a great tonic for the Sinful Divine Weapon.
The sword gourd transformed into a black hole, frantically devouring everything in its path. After several days of transformation and rebirth, Xia Mangqing had a thought and pointed a finger at the sword gourd, creating a restriction rune that merged into the gourd.
Rumble—
The heavens and earth roared as the sword gourd unleashed its supreme brilliance, dazzling and terrifying, containing chaotic killing intent. Even a wisp of sword light could tear apart the universe and shake the nine heavens and ten earths.
A radiant light flowed, and the sword gourd transformed. Black and white clouds flowed around its body, and sword energy swirled within, officially transforming it into an ultimate weapon.
In later generations, this sword gourd would be considered an ultimate imperial weapon, possessing unparalleled power. Even if it were not controlled by Xia Mangqing, it would still unleash astonishing power once it is revived.
"Not bad. If we destroy a few more lineages, it might be able to advance to a celestial artifact." Xia Mangqing held it in his hand and named it "Life and Death Sword Gourd". The restriction runes that were previously engraved were created using the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of "Chaotic Life", which can demonstrate the power of this Dao.
With this thought in mind, he waved his hand to envelop this small world, repairing the boundary wall while setting up several killing and illusion arrays. Even if a supreme being were to arrive in person, it would be difficult to break through them in a short time.
As for the body of the Heavenly Sovereign, he did not destroy it.
Among the myriad arts and crafts, including alchemy, array formations, talismans, and artifacts, he excels most in array formations, having already created his own path. His second greatest skill is alchemy, which he has already reached the World Realm level.
The art of puppetry, like talismans and artifacts, is already at the level of the Heavenly Dao. He plans to study the art of puppetry for a period of time, and then refine the corpse of the Heavenly Sovereign into a puppet.
This is, after all, the corpse of a supreme being. With the aid of some rare artifacts, it can be refined into a supreme-level puppet.
He planned to rectify the three thousand prefectures, and if he had a supreme-level puppet to assist him, he could save himself a lot of trouble.
"Next stop—let's go to the underworld."
Xia Mangqing made a decision: among the Daoist sects that had besieged him in the past, the Immortal Palace, the Heavenly Kingdom, and the Underworld were the most zealous, and these sects were also notorious cancers in the Three Thousand Dao States, so they naturally had to be eradicated.
Of course, he planned to deal with the likes of the Immortal Palace, Sword Valley, and Demon Dragon Dao Sect, which were backed by remnant immortals, later. He would at least kill the Supreme Being of the Underworld first, lest he get wind of the situation and go into hiding.
The underworld is a deathly place, barren of everything, with even the soil turning black. Legend has it that it was once a burial ground, where many ancient beings were buried, which is why it is so gloomy and haunted by all sorts of zombies and ghosts, making it extremely eerie.
When Xia Mangqing arrived, he could see countless will-o'-the-wisps lighting up, as if they had sensed the intruder and were about to fight back.
However, when the Nine Source Divine Fire descended, it transformed into a vast and boundless domain. Those Netherworld creatures that touched it died instantly, and even their primordial spirits were ignited and annihilated in an instant.
"Um?"
Xia Mangqing gazed into the distance, his eyes meeting those of a living being.
It was an old corpse, skin and bones, like a skeleton, with a pale golden light emanating from its body, deep-set eyes, and an aura of death.
Supreme!
Both the Heavenly Kingdom and the Underworld are the most prestigious lineages among the three thousand Dao states, possessing profound foundations and each having a supreme ruler presiding over them.
Moreover, this old corpse is in much better condition than the Heavenly Sovereign. It doesn't need to rely on strange places to survive, and its cultivation is still at its peak.
"Suppress!"
Xia Mangqing didn't waste any words and made a decisive move.
As the Qilin Steps landed, the entire void was sealed off. The Netherworld Supreme's expression suddenly changed, and he roared, shaking down the stars outside the domain. The endless death energy transformed into a long spear, condensing thousands of runes, intending to tear open the seal and fight Xia Mangqing.
"Too weak."
Xia Mangqing said, and the sword gourd flew out. With a sudden shake, a beam of life and death sword light flew out, just like the light of chaos and tribulation, piercing through all paths. The spear condensed by the Netherworld Supreme was not able to stop it for a moment and was torn to pieces. Even his body was pierced through.
With his primordial spirit extinguished and his true spirit vanished, a supreme being was killed with a single blow, becoming nourishment for the Life and Death Sword Gourd, aiding his further transformation.
This time, Xia Mangqing did not disperse the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth weeping. Previously, it was because he wanted to occupy that small world, so he did not want to expose the news. As for this Netherworld Burial Ground, it was currently useless to him, so it did not matter if it was exposed.
This is why some of the top beings in the Three Thousand Provinces were alarmed. Although the Three Thousand Provinces are vast and boundless, the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth weeping is equally astonishing. Some powerful beings can see it and understand what it means.
"The Supreme One has fallen—"
"That direction... is it the underworld?!"
"The Supreme Being of the Underworld has fallen! What exactly happened?!"
Many powerful figures were alarmed and immediately sent people to investigate. The birth and fall of a supreme being were no small matter; they were enough to shake the three thousand provinces and had to be thoroughly investigated.
In the Netherworld, after the Life and Death Sword Gourd had devoured all the sins and resentments, Xia Mangqing waved his hand and took away the corpse of the Netherworld Supreme, along with the treasures of the Netherworld, before departing.
A mere Supreme Being is not enough to completely transform the Life and Death Sword Gourd into a Celestial Artifact, but some changes have already occurred, and its power has almost doubled compared to before.
After some time, news spread that the three thousand provinces were shaken and the Netherworld had been destroyed, but no one knew who was responsible.
But this terrified many traditional sects, who feared they would be the next to be destroyed.
In an instant, the entire three thousand prefectures were filled with unease and panic.
At this time, Xia Mangqing had already smelted a piece of Radiant Immortal Gold and a piece of Dark Immortal Gold into the Life-Destroying Sword Gourd. These two pieces of Immortal Gold came from the Heavenly Kingdom and the Underworld. Of course, the smelting method was very crude, after all, he was not very strong in weapon forging, and had always basically used secret methods such as the Sinful Divine Weapon to forge weapons.
However, although the technique was crude, it would naturally change as the Life and Death Sword Gourd transformed, becoming more perfect. He also smelted immortal metal to make the Life and Death Sword Gourd more likely to become an immortal artifact.
After the smelting, Xia Mangqing headed straight for Sword Valley.
Sword Valley, Demon Dragon Dao Sect, and Fire Cloud Cave can be seen as belonging to the same lineage. The three major lineages are interconnected, and behind them stands the same remnant immortal and sword immortal.
However, apart from that sword immortal, the three major Dao lineages had no supreme rulers to oversee them. After Xia Mangqing arrived, he directly destroyed Sword Valley and then, stepping through the chaotic space-time, attacked the Demon Dragon Dao Sect and Fire Cloud Cave.
In a single day, the three major lineages were destroyed.
But that wasn't all. Xia Mangqing found clues in the inheritance of the three major lineages and thus found the hiding place of that sword immortal. It was not in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, but in the outer realm, in an ancient pure land.
There are immortal treasures there that can help sword immortals survive and prevent them from perishing due to the injuries they suffered from the Great Dao in the past.
"From beyond this realm—"
Xia Mangqing gazed into the void, as if looking through an endless sea of stars and seeing an ancient land.
"Fellow Daoist—it has been more than twenty years since we last met. I never imagined that you would have reached the pinnacle, enough to overlook the nine heavens and ten earths."
But just then, a voice came.
Xia Mangqing snapped out of his daze but did not make a move, because he had sensed the other party's arrival in advance and knew who he was.
wow~
Immediately, two figures appeared in the void, one old and one young.
The old man had an air of otherworldly grace, with eyes that shone like stars. Judging from his aura, he was already at the peak of the Supreme Realm. The young man, on the other hand, had curiosity in his eyes and his cultivation was very weak, only at the Venerable level.
"Brother Dao." Xia Mangqing bowed. The person who came was the old Supreme of the Supreme Hall. During the Immortal Dao Flower period, he once intervened to stop the Supreme of the Immortal Hall and had a brief contact with the original Supreme's avatar.
It is worth mentioning that Xia Mangqing's current identity as the traveler through the Three Thousand Continents is not the Golden Crow Primordial Spirit, but rather a "Divided Spirit of the True Body." With his transformation techniques, even a True Immortal could not see through him.
"You're too kind, fellow Daoist."
The old Supreme Being of the Supreme Hall returned the greeting, and the young man followed suit, bowing respectfully.
"Fellow Daoist's current abilities are truly astonishing. Have you already stepped into the realm of the ultimate Dao?" the old supreme being asked with a smile. He could not see through Xia Mangqing's cultivation level and only felt that it was unfathomable.
He was already at the peak of the Supreme Realm, so there was only one possibility: in just over twenty years, Xia Mangqing had already reached the pinnacle of the Dao.
"good."
Xia Mangqing nodded: "Brother Dao, what is this—"
He looked at the young man: "Have you found another outstanding student?"
The Supreme Hall only has one person born in each generation. In other words, they only train one successor at a time, and will not accept any more disciples unless the previous person dies.
The old supreme being's former disciples were killed by the Immortal Palace and other lineages during the last Immortal Ancient Era, so it's not surprising that he's taking on new disciples.
"Yes." The old supreme being smiled faintly, "This is my newly accepted disciple, named Qi Daolin. His talent is not bad, but of course, compared with your disciple, he is still somewhat inferior."
Xia Mangqing's eyes flickered as she looked at the young man. Was this Qi Daolin?
Looking at him now, he still seems quite spirited, unlike in the future, when he will have to rely on himself for everything and appear dejected.
"Fellow Daoist, those Daoist lineages that have been destroyed in recent times—"
After a brief chat, the old sage finally inquired about Xia Mangqing.
"It was my doing." Xia Mangqing admitted frankly: "There were grudges between us, and they had to be settled sooner or later. Moreover, these sects are nowhere to be seen when defending against foreign enemies, but they are most happy to harm their own people. I have long had the intention to destroy them, but I was not strong enough before."
The old supreme being nodded, but his expression was slightly serious: "The Heavenly Kingdom and the Underworld are one thing, but as far as I know, the Immortal Palace, Sword Valley, and others all have remnant immortals as their backers."
"Fellow Daoist has already destroyed Sword Valley, Demon Dragon Dao Sect, and Fire Cloud Cave. Be careful not to be ambushed by those few remnant immortals."
At this point, a cold glint appeared in his eyes: "These few crippled immortals are no pushovers. Kunpeng was severely injured and returned home, but ultimately perished; it was their doing."
"I know." Xia Mangqing sighed, then his eyes flashed like lightning as he said, "The reason I destroyed these few lineages was actually to find the traces of the remnant immortals. They are ultimately crippled, so I'll strike while they're down and let them taste what it was like to be a Kunpeng in the past."
The old supreme being was startled; he hadn't expected Xia Mangqing to take the initiative and attack the remnant immortal.
"Are you confident? Although they are remnant immortals, they are still immortal beings after all," the old supreme being asked again.
"It's worth a try."
Xia Mangqing said, "The remnant immortals are indeed immortals, but they cannot fight for a long time, otherwise they will be dragged down and killed first."
Although he was only an avatar, his overall strength was still stronger than that of an ordinary young adult, so fighting a remnant immortal shouldn't be a problem.
