Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 581: The Intelligence of the Ancient Holy Sect

"This is..." An elder from the academy opened his sleepy eyes, revealing a glint of sharpness.

"Spatial distortion. This fellow has already reached the peak of Great Accomplishment in controlling Spatial Momentum, capable of easily distorting space and dispersing all of Yu Wenbai’s oppressive might," a young scholar dressed in a Confucian robe said with a laugh, his eyes showing a hint of admiration as he looked towards ’Wu Qing’.

"Spatial attribute Momentum is indeed very powerful. However, nurturing this Dao Principle Embryo to step into the Dao Principle Realm is also difficult, not inferior to your literary momentum that carries wisdom with words," said the elder.

The scholar nodded, "My own momentum was never strong to begin with; it was solely for writing books and essays, to pass on civilization, not for killing and attacking. The purpose is only to carry on the Legacy."

Upon hearing this, the elder shook his head and gave the scholar a white look.

Don’t think I haven’t seen you killing people. Your literature is used to record civilization.

But your words can kill quite effectively as well.

He had personally witnessed the scholar writing the word ’die,’, instantly causing a Ninth Rank Peak Cultivator to die on the spot.

And this was still at the Momentum stage, not yet having reached the Dao Principle Realm, and already it was this terrifying.

Once he steps into the Dao Principle Realm, he would likely be even stronger.

Moreover, this path is seldom taken, and in the future, he will traverse further on the Dao Principle path than others.

Therefore, since then, the academy began to cultivate the scholar as a cornerstone of the academy.

This was in the anticipation that the scholar would one day astonish the world.

The scholar just smiled and did not speak. Words can pass on civilization, but they also can kill.

He is walking a unique path.

...

"Eh? He actually withstood Yu Wenbai’s oppressive might?" The Cultivators around were all surprised.

They were very surprised that Xu Ping’an managed to withstand the pressure from Yu Wenbai.

Yu Wenbai himself was somewhat astonished; his own oppressive might was easily resolved by a Seventh Rank Cultivator?

"Spatial Momentum, eh? Showing off your momentum in front of me is a joke," Yu Wenbai snorted coldly.

The next moment, an incredibly sharp momentum instantly slashed towards Xu Ping’an.

This momentum was extraordinarily terrifying, carrying a Heaven-Opening force.

"This is Yu Wenbai’s great momentum, Heaven-Opening. Who would have thought Yu Wenbai would actually use his own grand momentum?" the crowd around exclaimed in surprise.

Clearly, they did not expect Yu Wenbai to directly reveal his Heaven-Earth Momentum.

Li Qingyi and Su Chan both tensed up.

Xu Ping’an was also somewhat surprised.

Heaven-Opening momentum, huh?

Its power is indeed strong, but this momentum clearly did not reach the effect of the true Heaven-Opening force.

At most, it’s like breaking mountains!

Xu Ping’an sneered in his heart, and the next moment, his Spatial Momentum also became incredibly sharp.

The space around seemed to condense into a Spatial Blade, directly clashing with Yu Wenbai’s Heaven-Opening Momentum.

"Boom!"

The two momenta collided, instantly creating a terrifying storm.

Xu Ping’an was shaken back ten meters, while Yu Wenbai was also pushed back two steps.

The people around were all astounded.

This Wu Qing actually blocked Yu Wenbai’s grand momentum?

How did he manage that?

You should know that Yu Wenbai’s momentum has already reached the peak of Momentum, with one foot about to step into the Dao Principle Realm.

Even if Xu Ping’an had mastered Spatial Momentum, he shouldn’t be able to withstand Yu Wenbai’s attack, right?

Seeing himself take two steps back, Yu Wenbai’s face also instantly turned very sullen.

"You’re courting death," Yu Wenbai roared in anger, immediately preparing to attack for real.

Xu Ping’an’s eyes also became piercing, ready to go all out.

"Enough!"

Just then, a voice of incomparable authority erupted.

Great Flame Emperor’s might burst forth, effortlessly sweeping away the momentum of Xu Ping’an and Yu Wenbai, leaving nothing behind.

"So strong," Xu Ping’an murmured in amazement to himself.

Is the Great Flame Emperor’s strength truly just that of a Tenth Rank?

Could it be that his power has already reached the level of the Eleventh Rank?

Yu Wenbai’s eyes also betrayed his surprise as he looked towards the Great Flame Emperor.

Clearly, the power exhibited by the Great Flame Emperor had intimidated him.

"Humph, today is the sacred edict event. If you two dare to cause any more trouble, don’t blame me for being rude," the Great Flame Emperor said coldly.

"Yes, Your Excellency," Xu Ping’an responded immediately.

Yu Wenbai seemed somewhat reluctant, but nodded his head regardless.

Seeing that the two had ceased their hostile actions, the Great Flame Emperor’s countenance also softened somewhat.

"If you two are not convinced by each other, you may spar privately, but today is the day of the sacred edict event. I suggest you keep to your own lanes. Now, let’s continue with the sacred edict," the Great Flame Emperor declared.

With these words, Xu Ping’an and Yu Wenbai no longer spoke.

However, Yu Wenbai’s gaze towards Xu Ping’an was filled with a murderous intent.

The surrounding crowd was astonished.

They hadn’t expected Yu Wenbai to be at a disadvantage.

But what did the Great Flame Emperor mean by that?

A private spar?

Was this a hint to Yu Wenbai that if he took action in private, the Emperor would not interfere?

It seems it was indeed because of the sacred edict event, not out of protection for Wu Qing.

Xu Ping’an naturally also perceived the underlying message in the words of the Great Flame Emperor.

He even suspected that the Great Flame Emperor might already know of his identity, deliberately probing him.

However, he didn’t care, as his goal for coming here had been achieved.

Next, he would leave the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty and return to the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, and then he would directly head to the Jade Spirit Realm.

The stir caused by Xu Ping’an quickly passed, because what came next was the purpose for which these forces had gathered.

The Great Flame Emperor began to speak, "I am aware of the purpose of your visit here. Having promised to make public the ancient Holy Sect’s information, I will not let you be disappointed."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in commotion.

The delegates from many major forces all showed excited expressions.

Their purpose for attending was to gather intelligence on the Holy Sect.

Previously, they had heard that the Great Flame Emperor would reveal all information about the ancient Holy Sect during the sacred edict event.

Now it turned out to be true.

"Great Flame Emperor, may I ask which Holy Sect’s information will be made public this time?" asked an expert of the Tenth Rank from the Earth Divine Sect.

The surrounding crowd’s attention also turned towards the Great Flame Emperor with intense curiosity.

"The Qinglong Sect!" announced the Great Flame Emperor without hesitation.

"What, the Qinglong Sect?" The experts from all forces stood frozen, as if struck by thunder.

Even those geniuses privy to insider information were utterly flabbergasted.

Only those who were clueless wore looks of puzzlement.

"The Qinglong Sect? I seem to recall seeing it in an ancient book," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself, somewhat taken aback.

He once read about the Qinglong Sect in old texts, though the records were brief.

But the content of those records had stayed with Xu Ping’an to this day.

The Qinglong Sect, the foremost of all sects under heaven, spanned the ancient times for a full thirty thousand years.

Even among all Holy Sects, the power of the Qinglong Clan could easily be ranked in the top three.

Now, unexpectedly, the Great Flame Emperor was planning to reveal information about the Qinglong Sect.
