Chapter 65: Li Qingyun’s Name

In the Qingyun Sect, hundreds of craftsmen were sweating profusely under the hot sun, busy renovating the Daoist temple.

At this moment, a dragon’s roar sounded from the sky, scaring the craftsmen as they looked to the sky.

A flood dragon appeared in the sky, and a person was standing on the dragon’s head. It was none other than the Crimson Dragon King of the Netherworld Cult.

“Li Yu, get the hell out here to face your death!” Crimson Dragon King’s voice was like a thunderclap that resounded through the sky, and the sound wave contained magic power fluctuations.

It shook the craftsmen with mortal bodies to the ground, unable to move.

“Who is here!” Wu Chang flew out accompanied by a scream.

However, when he saw who it was, Wu Chang’s expression slightly changed as he exclaimed, “Crimson Dragon King!”

“Wu Chang, why are you here?” Crimson Dragon King was also perplexed.

“I’ve already followed the Qingyun Sect Master!” Wu Chang replied.

Crimson Dragon King’s expression turned cold as he berated, “You fence-sitter, you should be buried with my junior brother!”

“Crimson Dragon King, the Qingyun Sect isn’t that simple. I’ll advise you to return. Otherwise, you might follow in Mo Lin’s footsteps!” Wu Chang snapped coldly.

“Hmph, then I want to see which immortal is hiding in this small temple?” Crimson Dragon King sneered as the flood dragon beneath his feet roared, shaking the earth.

“Hey Crimson Dragon King, long time no see!” A carefree laugh sounded as Li Qingyun walked out of the main hall. With a single step, he arrived in the air.

The moment he saw Li Qingyun, Crimson Dragon King’s face turned as he frowned. “It’s you!”

The flood dragon under his feet trembled in fear, and its voice stopped abruptly as its body shrunk.

“It’s been many years since we last met. And the great Crimson Dragon King has already stepped into the Profound Void Martial Stage. Wow, this loach has grown a lot!” Li Qingyun said with a smile as he looked at the dragon.

However, his smile was like a sinister smile in the eyes of the Crimson Dragon King.

Crimson Dragon King was secretly shocked. He did not expect the Qingyun Sect to be so remarkable.

Since it was Li Qingyun, no wonder Mo Lin was dead.

However, back then, Li Qingyun’s cultivation was crippled, and all his meridians were broken by his enemy, turning him into a cripple.

He did not expect Li Qingyun to re-cultivate back to his original level. Indeed, a genius was a genius. Even if he was sent into the abyss, he could still return to the peak.

However, Crimson Dragon King was not afraid. Although Li Qingyun used to be powerful back in the day and even slightly superior to him, he should have wasted a hundred years cultivating again.

Meanwhile, his cultivation had already successfully entered the Profound Void Martial Stage for a hundred years. It would be easy to kill Li Qingyun.

“Hmph, cut the crap. You killed my junior brother, so let’s settle our old and new scores today!”

“Sure! But wait a moment!” Li Qingyun said calmly. Then, he looked to the south and waved his hand. “Come, my sword!”

…

Clear Void Holy Land south of the Huaxia continent.

Over ten thousand disciples focused their attention on the Divine Weapon Rankings in the sky. They hoped that their Holy Land’s Holy Lord, Perfected Taiqing, would reach the top of the Divine Weapon Rankings with his Void Divine Sword.

The Clear Void Holy Land was located in the Heavenly Fate Dynasty, one of the three eternal empires of the Huaxia continent.

The entire Huaxia continent was vast, and the Black Mist Mountain Range divided it into the north and south regions.

For example, the Great Xia Dynasty and the Xi Liang Dynasty were located in the north region, while the Heavenly Fate Dynasty was in the south.

The southern land was prosperous, rich in resources, and spirit energy abundant. Cultivation in the Huaxia continent originated here.

As one of the three great empires of the southern region, the Heavenly Fate Dynasty’s power was not something any country in the northern region could compare to.

Its territory was almost the size of the entire north region, and it was home to numerous powerful families and large clans that had existed for tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, the Heavenly Fate Dynasty’s Divine Weapon Rankings had a great amount of value. 100 weapons were ranked, and the top 23 were at least immortal artifact-level.

It was common consensus that the strongest divine weapon in the entire Heavenly Fate Dynasty and even the Huaxia continent was their Holy Lord’s Void Divine Sword.

Although many did not know the exact grade of the sword, it was at least a dao artifact-level divine weapon that was incomparable to those immortal artifacts.

They believed that no sword in the entire Huaxia continent could rival it.

“Second place will be coming up soon!”

Countless disciples were filled with anticipation as they stared at the Divine Weapon Rankings.

Divine Weapon Ranking # 2: Void Divine Sword

Current Owner: Perfected Taiqing

Origin: Clear Void Holy Land…

“What in the…”

The entire Clear Void Holy Land was in an uproar. Every disciple looked at the Divine Weapon Rankings in disbelief.

“The Holy Lord’s Void Divine Sword is only ranked second!”

“How… How is this possible? He should be at the top!”

Disbelief and disappointment were written all over the faces of the disciples of the Clear Void Holy Land.

Of course, Perfected Taiqing and the elders were also unwilling to accept this outcome.

Perfected Taiqing stood with his hands behind his back in front of the Clear Void Hall with his brows furrowed in silence.

This outcome surprised him as well. At the same time, he was curious to see what kind of divine weapon was ranked first and who its owner was.

Soon, the golden light on the Divine Weapon Rankings intensified as the information about number one slowly revealed itself.

Everyone from the Clear Void Holy Land looked over with furrowed brows.

Divine Weapon Ranking # 1: Dragon Slaying Sword

Current Owner: Li Qingyun

Reward: High-grade immortal art, Nine Annihilation Divine Seal. Natural Spirit Herb—Vermillion Bird Grass

“Huh…”

The moment the top spot was announced, the entire Clear Void Holy Land blew up. Shocked cries were like raging waves that reverberated in the sky above the Clear Void Holy Land.

“The first place is actually the Dragon Slaying Sword!”

“How is this possible? That sword is on the rankings too!”

“Curses, what is this? What right does that sword have to be in the first place!”

Countless Clear Void Holy Land disciples roared in resentment. Their angry gazes gathered on the mountain at the back of the main peak. There was a giant rock with the words ‘Clear Void Holy Land’ engraved on it.

It was said that the enormous rock was an immortal stone that fell from the nine heavens. It was extremely hard, and even an Immortal Artifact would find it difficult to leave a mark on it.

The words “Clear Void Holy Land” were carved by the Clear Void Holy Land’s founding ancestor’s good friend, Sword Immortal Nie Yongan.

Even after tens of thousands of years, there was still no trace of mottled marks on the enormous rock, and its hardness was evident.

Yet, there was a sword stuck in the boulder.

That was the Dragon Slaying Sword ranked first on the Divine Weapon Rankings.

This sword was a disgrace and a threat to the Clear Void Holy Land.

That man had killed his way into the Clear Void Holy Land with only a sword and took on the entire Clear Void Holy Land by himself, all for that demonic girl.

He had killed more than ten Soul Formation Stage elders of the Clear Void Holy Land and severely injured Perfected Taiqing.

If not for Divine Firmament Holy Lord’s timely arrival, the Clear Void Holy Land might have been destroyed by him alone.

However, before he left, he hurled the Dragon Slaying Sword at the immortal stone and stabbed it into the character ‘Clear’ of the Clear Void Holy Land.

He also vowed the day he pulled out the sword would be the day of the Clear Void Holy Land’s destruction.

The vow from that fateful day was like the shadow of death, enveloping the hearts of everyone from the Clear Void Holy Land.

That sword was like a thorn stabbed into their hearts.

Later on, they found out that Li Qingyun had already become a cripple, and his fate was unknown.

It made them feel more at ease.

However, that sword had always been like a pillar of humiliation. Every time the disciples saw it, they felt their faces burn with shame!

In the past one hundred years, the Clear Void Holy Land had tried various methods to pull out the Dragon Slaying Sword, but to no avail.

Who would have thought that the Dragon Slaying Sword would actually ascend to the top of the Heavenly Dao Divine Weapon Rankings?

This was simply tearing open their old wounds again and executing them publicly.
