My Wife Is The Leader Of A Demonic Cult

Chapter 399: Chapter 299: The Grand Finale

The city of Yujing was a whirlwind of activity that day, with clouds stirring in all directions.

A speck of dust from history becomes a mountain when it falls on the head of an ordinary person, let alone a change of events that even in the annals of history would be considered tumultuous and vast.

Heroes from all over gathered together, with numerous masters from the Southern Barbarians, Great Yan, and Zhao Country converging on Yujing City. Such a time of prosperity was unique in history, as who else could have the capability to gather so many experts?

It was probably only the mysterious and elusive Earth Vein Spirit, said to grant immortality, that could accomplish this.

Great Grandmasters such as Wusun, Xuwang, Xi Hafu, and Qian Qiu the Immortal also emerged one after another. Among them, several were top Grandmasters in history, dominant figures who suppressed an era with their prowess.

The outcome was indeed shocking, with Grandmasters Xi Hafu, Wusun, and Qian Qiu the Immortal succumbing to their fates, becoming but a wisp of smoke in the annals of history.

After all, these were three Great Grandmasters, seen as celestial beings by commoners, who with a wave of their sleeves could soar to the heavens and whose every step brought heaven within reach.

No one expected that the “deceased” Ghost Swordsman would reappear in Jianghu and slay Qian Qiu the Immortal, sending shockwaves throughout the world.

This controversy spread rapidly across the land like wings, becoming a hot topic among commoners and the subjects of lively discussion in the marketplaces.

Soon, people discovered that the shackles binding the world seemed to have lightened significantly, making breakthroughs in realms easier than before, and Grandmasters realized that when refining nature’s spiritual energy, the previously troublesome Evil Blood had vanished entirely.

This apparent change immediately kicked up greater storms within Jianghu.

At the same time, various rumors about Qian Qiu the Immortal spread far and wide.

Why could he live for a thousand years without dying?

The Evil Spirits were said to be from outside this realm, but what was this realm beyond?

Why could absorbing Evil Blood and controlling Evil Spirits greatly increase one’s Cultivation?

Some said Qian Qiu possessed an unparalleled mental method that granted immortality; others claimed he was an Evil Spirit from another realm, not of this world, which was why he could live forever.

What exactly lay beyond the world became a topic of much debate, with some claiming it was a celestial paradise, others a land of great danger harboring immense calamities, and still others dismissing it as a place of illusions and fantasies.

In no time, rumors abounded, but the Dragon Locking Well had everyone profoundly shocked, revealing a top expert who lived a thousand years. Many began to secretly search for Qian Qiu the Immortal’s relics, hoping to uncover the secrets within. With the fall of Qi Xuan Dao, Black Ice Platform became vulnerable and teetered on the brink of collapse.

Countless experts fought fiercely to uncover Qian Qiu the Immortal’s origins, identity, and relics, resulting in intricate schemes and deceit. This included royals, noble families, and reclusive Jianghu masters, leading to a resurgence of chaos and bloodshed within the world.

After slaying Qian Qiu the Immortal at Dragon Locking Well, the Ghost Swordsman suddenly vanished without a trace. No one knew his whereabouts, not even the people of the Demon Sect.

The more elusive he became, the more people sought after the invincible Great Sword Immortal, as if to grasp his shadow.

People knew that his sword could sever the life of an immortal who had lived a thousand years and slay celestial beings as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs. He was regarded as the greatest master over the past three thousand years.

But the harder they searched, the more his presence eluded them, as if such a person never existed in the world.

Eventually, people stopped trying to track him down, and the Ghost Swordsman became a taboo subject, though his legendary sword continued to be celebrated in Jianghu for a long time.

After a massive storm, all that was left was devastation, and a powerful hand stepped in to establish a new order.

This hand belonged to the Great Yan Court.

Though the fall of the Houjin Royal Court and the continued resistance from the tribes of the great plains remained a concern for Great Yan, it was far less threatening compared to the previously powerful Houjin Dynasty.

As time passed, the Great Yan Dynasty not only stood to clear the tribes from the plains but also had the potential to encompass all of Houjin into its territory.

The situation in Zhao Country to the south of Great Yan was slightly better than that of Houjin, but it remained dire. With the death of Qi Xuan Dao and the unstable status of Black Ice Platform, the previously subdued tensions exploded, causing unprecedented internal chaos within Zhao Country.

The warfare across Zhao Country was even more devastating than the previous wars with Yan Country.

Indeed, the Great Yan Dynasty watched from a distance, recuperating and biding its time, with a smooth journey ahead. The situation was extremely favorable, even presenting the opportunity to annex the territory of Zhao Country, possibly becoming a unified dynasty since the times of Great Qin.

Even with the addition of Houjin’s territories, it was more prosperous than the Great Qin Dynasty.

Just when the world was thrown into chaos and the ripples had not yet settled, the Great Yan Dynasty issued a decree that completely ignited the whole world.

The Great Yan Dynasty promulgated a decree, consolidating all the sect masters and martial arts establishments of the Great Yan Martial World into a comprehensive Martial Arts Academy. Whether they were from noble families, the poor, or even beggars, as long as they were under fifteen and possessed sufficient aptitude, regardless of status, they could go to the Martial Arts Academy to learn profound martial arts and enjoy the top resources and facilities provided by the Great Yan Dynasty.

And the first Dean of the Martial Arts Academy was none other than the Sect Leader of the Zhenyi Sect and the State Preceptor of Great Yan, Xiao Qianqiu.

Instantly, the world was stirred into a thousand waves.

Consolidating the martial arts of the world and establishing a Martial Arts Academy?

As long as one had the aptitude, all the people in the world could study martial arts, offering a tremendous opportunity to those who previously had no connections or who were poor.

If this were true, how terrifying would it be?

The future of the world’s sects would be completely cut off; did the Great Yan Martial World sects truly agree to this?

But with Xiao Qianqiu’s consent, some voices of opposition from the Jianghu sects also died down. It was known that after the disappearance of the Ghost Swordsman in the Great Yan Martial World, Xiao Qianqiu was undoubtedly the most powerful and senior expert in this world. Moreover, his Zhenyi Sect was the national religion of Great Yan, one of the top sects in the world.
