The next day, Li Ze’s figure appeared at Burial Dao Peak.
Before him, within Burial Dao Peak, lay a Dragon Pool.
The stone carvings of the flood dragons were lifelike, and the lake water in the pool was crystal clear.
The surrounding ruined buildings were ancient and mysterious.
“This pool seems to have been the cultivation site of that great expert.”
He could faintly sense the power of Immortal Principles around the Dragon Pool.
The cultivation realms were divided into the Spirit, Dao, Core, Profound Soul, and Saint Realms.
After that came Immortal Ascension, Immortal King, True Immortal, and Quasi-God.
However, once one reached immortality, they would come into contact with Immortal Principles.
Within this Immortal Principle domain, these laws were different from those of the Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, that sword qi restriction was limited and could not strike down!
Li Ze took out the Spirit Locking Sail, which was emitting black energy.
Inside the soul sail, Li Quan’s soul was tightly bound by five soul-locking chains.
He cast a spell on the Spirit Locking Sail, and Li Quan appeared before him, though he remained bound by the chains within the soul sail.
Li Quan glared at him.
“Hmph! You don’t dare kill me, so why bother trapping me in this sail!”
With a thought from Li Ze, a dark long spear was instantly gripped in his hand.
“Heh! Who says I don’t dare kill you?”
“Within this secret realm, the Heavenly Dao cannot reach you, and the restriction on your soul will fail inside the Dragon Pool.”
“Why wouldn’t I dare kill you!”
The long spear thrust toward Li Quan.
As Li Quan watched his soul begin to dissipate and saw that the Heavenly Dao showed no reaction, he panicked.
“This… how is this possible? I am the Child of Destiny!”
Li Quan’s soul dissipated completely.
The Heavenly Dao sensed the death of the Child of Destiny, but it could not peer into the conditions of the secret realm, nor could it reach inside.
Naturally, it could not know the circumstances or protect the Child of Destiny.
In his place, a small, transparent sword remained.
Li Ze covered the small sword with his divine sense and modified the restriction, making it his own.
Outside the Mountain Wilderness Secret Realm, black clouds gathered overhead, bringing with them a rolling, deathly thunder.
Jun Zhuohua’s brow was furrowed tightly.
This was because the soul-sensing jade pendant of Li Quan in his hand had shattered into two halves.
“Quan’er… he’s dead!”
Previously, the highest-level cultivators to enter the secret realm were at Level 10, and Li Quan was at the peak of Level 10.
He should have been invincible within the secret realm.
But now he was dead.
Jun Zhuohua attributed all of this to the grievances between the two sects, believing the Yin Yang Sect had set a trap to murder the Child of Destiny.
Suddenly, the jade pendant that had broken into two was crushed into powder by Jun Zhuohua.
His deep gaze turned toward Luo Yi.
“Hmph! Peak Master Luo, my sect’s Child of Destiny is dead!”
“Shouldn’t you give me an explanation?!”
The Child of Destiny was dead?
To think such a good thing had happened.
However, Luo Yi truly did not know anything about the death of the Child of Destiny.
“Sect Master Jun, what does the death of your Child of Destiny have to do with my sect?”
“Peak Master Luo, we are all old monsters who have lived for five or six hundred years. Since you’ve done it, there’s no need to hide it anymore.”
Luo Yi shook her head.
“If the Sect Master does not believe me, there is nothing I can do.”
“So you admit it! Hmph!”
“Killing my sect’s Child of Destiny… it seems the Yin Yang Sect wants to declare war on my sect!”
Instantly, the atmosphere between the two sides became tense, with swords drawn.
Luo Yi understood.
Jun Zhuohua wanted to use this excuse to provoke a great war between the sects and swallow the Yin Yang Sect.
Luo Yi did not want the two sects to go to war.
The Blue Sword Sect had one Level 4 Profound Soul cultivator and two Level 3 Profound Soul great cultivators.
In contrast, the Yin Yang Sect only had her at Level 1 Profound Soul and Mo Zhengxuan at Level 5 Profound Soul.
Furthermore, the Blue Sword Sect’s foundation was deeper than that of the Yin Yang Sect.
Once a war started, her sect would certainly be at a disadvantage.
“Sect Master Jun, you misunderstand. My sect did not arrange for disciples to unite and frame your sect’s Child of Destiny.”
“You kill someone and then want to wash your hands of it completely? Is this the style of the Yin Yang Sect?”
A commotion immediately broke out behind Jun Zhuohua.
“I didn’t expect the Yin Yang Sect to be so malicious.”
“Killing our sect’s Child of Destiny… they clearly look down on my Blue Sword Sect!”
“I think the Yin Yang Sect wants to provoke a war between our two sects…”
The Yin Yang Sect disciples behind Luo Yi thought of the grievances between the two sects and suddenly could not bear it any longer.
“Years ago, the Blue Sword Sect captured the female cultivators of our sect! My wife was brutally tortured to death by you animals, and…”
“You bunch of beasts…”
The disciples on both sides cursed at each other relentlessly.
The smell of gunpowder grew stronger, and the scene instantly spiraled out of control.
The corners of Jun Zhuohua’s mouth curled upward; his plan had been achieved.
Luo Yi knew she had been set up.
Because the grievances between the two sects were so deep, she was already unable to salvage the situation.
A moment later, the entire sky began to darken!
Behind Jun Zhuohua, flying ships flew in, growing from small specks to massive vessels.
The ships were crowded with disciples, both on deck and flanking them.
Following that, two streaks of light flew over.
They were the Sect’s Great Elder, who was preparing to step into Level 4 of the Profound Soul Realm, and the Second Elder, who was at Level 3 of the Profound Soul Realm.
The two sects were only dozens of miles apart, and the pressure was immense.
The Blue Sword Sect’s reinforcements arrived first.
When the Yin Yang Sect disciples saw this, they clenched their fists, took a few steps back, and swallowed hard.
A thunderous voice that echoed through heaven and earth rang out.
“The Yin Yang Sect killed our sect’s Child of Destiny and seeks to destroy our sect’s foundation! This is a crisis of extermination! My sect’s disciples, do you agree to this?”
“We do not!”
“We do not!!”
The Blue Sword Sect disciples shouted in unison, making the world tremble.
Luo Yi saw that the situation was getting more and more ridiculous.
Her sect’s reinforcements had not yet arrived, and right now, there were only dozens of them.
Facing such a grand display from the Blue Sword Sect, she had no confidence left.
‘Reinforcements, hurry up! There are three Profound Soul Realm cultivators… I can’t beat any one of them alone!’
As Luo Yi worried, thunder that echoed through the clouds was heard.
A black and white ink-colored vortex hung upside down in the sky.
Everyone was alarmed.
The oppressive atmosphere made it difficult for them to breathe!
Suddenly, boundless bamboo leaves drifted down gracefully as a thunderous voice vibrated through the air.
“Sect Master Jun, what is the meaning of this!?”
Mo Zhengxuan slowly descended along with the bamboo leaves.
Following him, the entire Yin Yang Sect’s disciples arrived in a grand procession.
Jun Zhuohua said indifferently, “It means nothing. I should ask what the Yin Yang Sect means!”
“Jun Zhuohua, do you really want to start a war between the two sects for the sake of a junior!”
Mo Zhengxuan knew that a mere Child of Destiny could not be the reason to start a war.
It seemed the Blue Sword Sect had been planning this for a long time, and this battle was already unavoidable.
“Old thief Mo Zhengxuan, you still haven’t broken through to Level 6?”
“You don’t even bother to manage the crimes committed by your Yin Yang Sect disciples.”
“It seems you have grown old!”
“Since you can no longer manage so much, why not hand the sect over to my sect to help manage it?”
“This would not only eliminate the grievances between the two sects but also strengthen them.”
“Why not enjoy such a good thing?”
“No need for redundant words. If you want to provoke a war between our sects, then say it directly. Why beat around the bush?”
However, neither sect dared to act rashly.
Mo Zhengxuan was already at the peak of Level 5 in the Profound Soul Realm, and the Blue Sword Sect was even more wary of the Yin Yang Sect’s Yin Yang Grand Array.
Inside the Mountain Wilderness Secret Realm, Li Ze was completely unaware that a great war was about to begin outside.
He sat cross-legged in the Dragon Pool, sensing the Immortal Principles.
However, he discovered that with his current cultivation in the Dao Realm, he was fundamentally unable to comprehend them.
‘It’s a pity, such an opportunity!’
‘But a cultivation place for a great expert must have some valuable things.’
Li Ze then explored the Dragon Pool for a while but found nothing special.
He stared at the water of the Dragon Pool and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, he noticed that this pool water was actually somewhat unusual…
