Three Enclosures and Four Symbols
Chapter 360 Making Things Difficult? The Three Immortal Realms
While Jiang Xuan entered the Nine Saint Demon Gate, the envoy team from the Xi Yan Ancient Sect also brought Li Qiye to the Nine Saint Demon Gate.
Because of Jiang Xuan, the Nine Saint Demon Gate didn't dare to underestimate the Xi Yan Ancient Sect and specially arranged an elder to receive them.
Of course, when they saw Li Qiye, a mortal chief disciple, they couldn't help but feel contempt in their hearts.
In fact, if it weren't for Jiang Xuan, the Nine Saint Demon Gate wouldn't have taken Li Qiye seriously at all. Moreover, if it weren't for the promise made by the Great Sage of the Nine Saints back then, the Nine Saint Demon Gate probably wouldn't have acknowledged this marriage at all.
It was because the Nine Saint Demon Gate was unwilling to marry that they proposed the requirement to assess Li Qiye, to dispel the Xi Yan Ancient Sect's idea of marriage!
Unfortunately, they miscalculated Jiang Xuan. The appearance of Jiang Xuan also threw them into disarray. Some elders even repeatedly suggested that they should treat the Xi Yan Ancient Sect well, and the marriage could be renegotiated.
As for the assessment, they all wanted to pretend it never happened.
However, Jiang Xuan's attitude was very strange. Not only did he not prevent the assessment, but he also deliberately increased the difficulty, as if he wanted to deliberately make things difficult for his disciple.
He even secretly hinted and encouraged the disciples of the Nine Saint Demon Gate to target Li Qiye.
Even Lun Ri Yaohuang (Sun-Wheeled Demon Emperor) didn't understand Jiang Xuan's actions. Although their intelligence showed that Li Qiye was just an ordinary person with a mortal body and destiny, if it weren't for the Xi Yan Ancient Token, he would never have become the chief disciple of the Xi Yan Ancient Sect.
But as the Sect Master of the Xi Yan Ancient Sect, since he had agreed to Li Qiye, why did he secretly set a trap?
Didn't he want to accept Li Qiye as a disciple either?
Then why did he agree in the first place?
If Li Qiye couldn't pass the test, wouldn't he be embarrassing the Xi Yan Ancient Sect?
However, Jiang Xuan didn't explain at all, just told them to prepare well. Helpless, Lun Ri Yaohuang could only follow Jiang Xuan's instructions.
"Is that the chief disciple of the Xi Yan Ancient Sect?"
Soon, Li Qiye and his group entered the Nine Saint Demon Gate. Some disciples of the Nine Saint Demon Gate looked at Li Qiye from afar. Seeing that he was just a mortal, they couldn't help but frown.
"No wonder even that one from the Xi Yan Ancient Sect has to… a mere mortal becoming the chief disciple of the Xi Yan Ancient Sect is truly undeserving." Some disciples complained.
If Li Qiye had a little bit of cultivation, they wouldn't have criticized him so much. But a mere mortal actually became the disciple of a great power like Jiang Xuan, how could they feel balanced?
Especially after seeing Jiang Xuan's miraculous feats a few days ago, they were even more indignant.
"Tch, that kind of vulgar person is worthy of marrying Senior Sister Li? That's like a toad trying to eat swan meat. Why doesn't he take a piss and look at his ugly mug in the reflection?" Some disciples of the Nine Saint Demon Gate said disdainfully.
The mere thought that the elders in the sect had initially intended to promote this marriage made them burst with anger. They were so close, just a little bit more, and this extremely ordinary mortal would have obtained the senior sister they had long admired.
Just thinking about it made them want to tear Li Qiye apart.
"Luckily, that one also can't stand him. This time, I'm definitely going to teach him a lesson!" Some disciples secretly said, trying to find an opportunity to teach Li Qiye a lesson.
"Senior Brother, you must be careful. The successor of the Nine Saint Demon Gate has countless suitors. Be careful that they might be against you." Beside Li Qiye, a disciple of the Xi Yan Ancient Sect said to him.
This person was sophisticated and had friends within the Nine Saint Demon Gate, so he knew some information in advance.
In his opinion, Li Qiye was someone even the sect master disliked. The reason why he was able to become the chief disciple of the Xi Yan Ancient Sect was all thanks to that Xi Yan Ancient Token.
And now, the sect master intentionally made things difficult. If he couldn't pass this test, even if he could still stay in the Xi Yan Ancient Sect, his status as the chief disciple would definitely be nominal.
"A woman, is it worth it?" Li Qiye glanced at this disciple and said flatly.
He had seen women who were more stunning and peerless, so he didn't take the so-called fiancée to heart at all.
As for making things difficult, there was nothing in this world that could make him worry, especially after seeing the four guardian deities of the Nine Saint Demon Gate, he was even less worried.
Unknowingly, Li Qiye and the others arrived at the dueling arena of the Nine Saint Demon Gate. This was a place that everyone in the Nine Saint Demon Gate could come to. When he stepped into the dueling arena, he immediately felt insignificant!
However, at this time, the fighting spirit in the dueling arena was rampant, all directed at Li Qiye. He had expected this, and in his opinion, this small challenge was nothing at all.
After all, he had a strange object on him, something that even the Immortal Emperor couldn't avoid in his youth. With this strange object, let alone the disciples of the Nine Saint Demon Gate, even if a young Immortal Emperor hadn't reached a certain level of strength, they would only be beaten.
Just as Li Qiye began to accept the assessment of the Nine Saint Demon Gate, Jiang Xuan on the other side split off several spiritual bodies and left this realm.
He felt that it wasn't enough to just target Li Qiye in this realm. He also intended to interfere in the Nine Worlds, Thirteen Continents, and the Three Immortal Realms.
Then, when Li Qiye discovered the truth, his mood would surely be wonderful!
...
The Three Immortal Realms, also known as the Three Realms by some, have various explanations and legends as to why it is called the Three Immortal Realms. One theory suggests that the world was named the Three Immortal Realms to commemorate three great emperors!
Namely, the legendary emperors Sui, Xi, and Nong.
Another theory suggests that the world was named the Three Immortal Realms simply as a collective term for the Dao lineages of the Immortal Lineage Realm, the Emperor Lineage Realm, and the Myriad Lineage Realm.
In any case, the Three Immortal Realms is the name that everyone agrees on. Whether it is the Immortal Lineage Realm, the Emperor Lineage Realm, or the Myriad Lineage Realm, everyone unanimously calls it the Three Immortal Realms!
In these Three Immortal Realms, people do not know what the Nine Worlds or the Thirteen Continents are. In the common knowledge of all living beings in the Three Immortal Realms, there is only their Three Immortal Realms in this world, and no other worlds exist.
It is just like how the Nine Worlds do not know of the existence of the Thirteen Continents, and the Thirteen Continents do not know of the existence of the Three Immortal Realms. Therefore, all living beings in the Three Immortal Realms also do not know of worlds like the Nine Worlds and the Thirteen Continents.
One of Jiang Xuan's spiritual bodies appeared in the Three Immortal Realms.
This was all part of the good show he prepared for Li Qiye. For this reason, he specifically chose a force that Li Qiye would definitely appear in.
That is the Great Sword Sect, an insignificant sect in the Three Immortal Realms.
Of course, the Great Sword Sect had been glorious before. It was once powerful and had made many contributions to Kuang Ting (Rampant Court). Unfortunately, it eventually declined, failed in the power struggle, and was exiled by Kuang Ting to the remote territory of Kuang Ting's Dao lineage.
The place that the Great Sword Sect guards now is known as Kuang Ting's ancestral tomb. In fact, there are no graves here. The ancestral tomb that the Great Sword Sect guards is just an extremely huge abyss.
This extremely huge abyss is called Ancestral Abyss by Kuang Ting. It is said that this abyss buries some of Kuang Ting's ancestors who have made great contributions, and there are even rumors that this Ancestral Abyss originated from Kuang Ting's founder - Kuang Zu (Rampant Ancestor)!
Legend has it that Kuang Zu built the Ancestral Abyss to bury the ancestors who opened up new territories, and some descendants even believe that even Kuang Zu did not ascend to immortality and had to bury himself under the Ancestral Abyss.
The Great Sword Sect was exiled here to guard the Ancestral Abyss. It sounds like a great honor, but in fact, the entire Great Sword Sect was relegated to a forgotten corner.
But this is also a very helpless thing. The foundation of the Great Sword Sect is only a minor branch under Kuang Ting's Dao lineage. How could a mere Great Sword Sect resist Kuang Ting's orders?
They could only be exiled and guard the Ancestral Abyss here. The only thing the Great Sword Sect can hope for is that its disciples can produce some talent, allowing the Great Sword Sect to rise again and return to the power center of Kuang Ting.
Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Jiang Xuan. He came here just to leave a little surprise.
On this day, a ray of immortal light suddenly shot out from Kuang Yuan (Rampant Abyss), transforming into a white jade ladder, connecting the edge of the Ancestral Abyss to the Netherworld, which was quite miraculous.
"What is that?!"
The first to discover it was a disciple of the Great Sword Sect. Of course, this was not a coincidence, but Jiang Xuan's deliberate arrangement.
This disciple came to patrol as usual early in the morning. When he passed by the huge abyss of the Ancestral Abyss, he saw a white jade ladder appearing under the abyss.
The Ancestral Abyss is extremely huge, and it makes people feel shuddered when they look at it from a distance. Moreover, the entire Ancestral Abyss is unfathomable, and no one knows how deep the Ancestral Abyss is.
Since the Great Sword Sect was exiled here to guard the Ancestral Abyss, some people have explored the Ancestral Abyss, but the bottom is bottomless, and no one can reach the bottom of the abyss. Moreover, the further down it goes, the colder it becomes, and no one can withstand the cold of the Ancestral Abyss.
The Ancestral Abyss has always been very calm and has never happened anything, so the disciples of the Great Sword Sect who guarded the Ancestral Abyss had long been accustomed to the existence of the Ancestral Abyss.
However, today the Ancestral Abyss is no longer calm. A white jade ladder, connecting from the bottom of the Ancestral Abyss all the way here, startled all the patrolling disciples!
"Quick, tell the sect master!" After regaining his senses, a disciple quickly went to report to the sect master.
The sect master of the Great Sword Sect, Bai Yuan (White Source), is an old man who looks nearly fifty years old. He is considered a powerful expert in the Great Sword Sect, but he is only a ninth-level True Disciple!
In the Three Immortal Realms, the division of strength realms is very similar to the Nine Worlds. From low to high, it can be divided into True Disciple, True Scholar, True Person, True Paragon, True Hero, True King, True Saint, True God, Ascended True God, Immortal True God, True Emperor, True Immortal, and other realms.
True Disciple is only the most basic realm.
From this, one can also see how declining the Great Sword Sect is!
But who made the Great Sword Sect decline now? Having something is better than nothing, so a ninth-level True Disciple can barely serve as the sect master of the Great Sword Sect.
As for the future sect master of the Great Sword Sect, it is still unknown where he is playing in the mud now.
However, after they arrived, Bai Yuan and several elders couldn't help but look at each other. They looked at such a white jade ladder and didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
For a time, Bai Yuan and the others were a little helpless. After all, their Great Sword Sect had already declined. Although they were said to be sect masters and elders, they had not experienced much storms.
"Now... what should we do?"
Bai Yuan looked at several elders, a little at a loss.
"Why don't we go down and take a look?"
An elder suggested.
Other elders, as well as sect master Bai Yuan, looked a little hesitant. Finally, Bai Yuan made the decision to lead the team, stepping on the white jade ladder, and entering the Ancestral Abyss to find out.
After a long time, they finally reached the end.
The end of the white jade ladder is connected to a platform, above which there is an ancient idol, like an supreme god, capable of evolving everything.
Buzz!
When they arrived, a scarlet light swept out from the idol's eyes, enveloping everyone.
Immediately afterwards, words appeared in the void: Land of Divine Demon Training!
Just the first six characters made their hearts tremble. If it was true, the Land of Divine Demon Training would shake the entire Three Immortal Realms!
Gods and demons are taboo-like existences, but this place claims to be the Land of Divine Demon Training.
The group all held their breath and read all the words on the stone tablet.
"Existing between reality and illusion, what kind of method is this?"
"Could it be a great opportunity left by Kuang Zu? Why is it appearing now?"
"Should we go in and take a look?"
Everyone's minds were filled with thoughts, but in the end, they couldn't resist this temptation and all chose to enter the Land of Divine Demon Training.
A ray of light fell, transforming into a gate of immortal light!
Their divine souls also seemed to walk out of their spiritual platforms at this time, stepping into the gate of immortal light.
"Treading!"
I don't know how long it took, a burst of footsteps came from a gate of immortal light.
"This is the Land of Divine Demon Training?!"
Someone exclaimed. Now, before his eyes, endless blood-red extended, and the Heavenly Mountains lay horizontally. This seemed to be another world, a completely different world from the Three Immortal Realms!
"Where is this?!"
Just as the group of people from the Great Sword Sect were surprised, some different sounds appeared in this world.
"Who is it? How dare you abduct me here?!"
"Interesting, to be able to bring this seat here unknowingly..."
"Strange, why is my realm only at the ninth level of True Disciple?"
"Me too, how is this possible?!"
"Who on earth dares to play tricks on us like this!"
"This looks like an ordinary secret realm, the other party doesn't know what method to use to get us in!"
"Humph! Don't let me know who is behind the scenes, otherwise I will tear him apart!"
Looking at the group of people who suddenly walked out, the people of the Great Sword Sect were shocked. From this, they could see that they were not the only ones who entered this Land of Divine Demon Training.
When they entered the Land of Divine Demon Training, countless beings in this Three Immortal Realms also entered this mysterious land!
To be able to do this, to have such means, what kind of existence is behind this, they cannot imagine.
And just as these people began to explore the Land of Divine Demon Training, Jiang Xuan's spiritual body also arrived at the Great Sword Sect.
The Land of Divine Demon Training was indeed created by him, originally based on the Void God Realm of the Perfect World.
He left a lot of inheritance in this world, also in order to make the Land of Divine Demon Training become the greatest opportunity in the Three Immortal Realms as soon as possible.
Of course, the Land of Divine Demon Training can be stocked. No matter what it evolves into in the end, the effect is similar, anyway, it is just prepared to tease Li Qiye.
