Chapter 1349: Chapter 1346: Sealed Demon Cave Heaven - To the Ghost Realm (2nd Update)

Everyone was stunned.

The unification of the Seven Great Celestial Paradises?

This idea was completely unexpected, yet upon closer examination, it seemed quite reasonable.

Before this, such a notion would have been impossible.

Each of the Seven Grotto-Heavens possessed their own Taoist lineage and heritage. Despite disparities in strength, they were all mutually defiant!

Even when Mingxin Palace was previously acknowledged as the foremost, the other paradises only offered nominal respect.

This was due to the lack of a powerful force to drive the unification.

But now, such obstacles were evidently gone.

The appearance of Xue An caused everything to fall into place naturally.

In terms of strength, he was undoubtedly the strongest in this realm.

As for prestige...

Setting aside Golden Light Paradise, whose loyalty to him was unwavering, even judging by the attitude of Mingxin Palace’s members, it was clear that his influence was immense.

Thus, when these words came from Xue An’s mouth, the crowd merely exchanged glances before bowing their heads reverently.

"The Taoist lineages you follow stem from the same origin. When united, I shall offer you guidance in the Dao. What say you?"

Boom!

The crowd erupted into commotion, their faces alight with joy and excitement.

Xue An’s strength was indisputable, and receiving his guidance was an immeasurable benefit.

Compared to this, disputes over fame and position became trivial.

Without hesitation, they all bowed in unison and declared, "We humbly obey your command, my lord!"

Xue An nodded slightly. "Very well. From now on, the Seven Great Celestial Paradises shall be united under one name... Sealing Demon Paradise!"

"Understood!"

An unprecedented upheaval swept across the realm.

The Seven Grotto-Heavens discarded their divisions and merged together!

Such a monumental event naturally caused waves of shock among all inhabitants of the realm.

Ordinary citizens might not grasp its significance.

This realm was not only home to the Seven Paradises but also dotted with scattered sects and loose cultivators.

When news of this broke, their first reaction was scoffs of disbelief, deeming it impossible.

But shockingly, the truth soon hit them like an unforgiving slap—the rumors were real.

Especially when they learned that the driving force behind this was a young prodigy originating from the same place as the founding ancestors of the Seven Paradises—they were even more astounded.

Stories of his feats, such as triumphing in the lineage competition, annihilating demon ghosts, and obliterating Jing Country, began to spread far and wide.

With these deeds, Xue An became an existence capable of dominating the entire realm.

The smaller sects and loose cultivators deliberated among themselves, reasoning that if even the Seven Paradises had willingly submitted, why shouldn’t they join as well?

Moreover, rumors suggested that joining Sealing Demon Paradise would grant access to more profound Daoist techniques!

Driven by this hope, countless loose cultivators and lesser sects flocked to join.

In no time, Sealing Demon Town turned bustling in a way unprecedented and unmatched.

Yet everything unfolded smoothly, and within a mere month...

The Seven Paradises became united as one. Xue An, however, wasn’t directly involved throughout the process. Instead, he employed his abilities to transform Sealing Demon Town into a celestial paradise.

His unparalleled strength and insight made this paradise far superior to the Seven Paradises combined.

Witnessing this, even the most stubborn conservatives shifted their stance, while opportunistic sects swiftly moved their mountain peaks and estates to surround Sealing Demon Town.

Thus, within a few short months, Sealing Demon Town underwent an incredible transformation.

The once low, humble walls were replaced by a majestic protection formation. Although the architecture largely retained its original appearance, its interior had become otherworldly.

Encircling the town now were the estate mountains of the Seven Paradises, positioned strategically to defend and reinforce Sealing Demon Town.

And so, Sealing Demon Paradise finally took shape.

Xue An also fulfilled his promise by consolidating the Taoist lineages of the Seven Paradises.

It must be noted that, over countless years, these lineages had degenerated significantly.

Despite the efforts of successive sect leaders to supplement them, the teachings had drifted far from their original forms.

Moreover, the Seven Grotto-Heavens were founded not by one person, but by seven ancestors of the Hua Clan.

Under such circumstances, integrating the seven lineages was no easy task.

Many considered it an impossible mission.

Even if Xue An could achieve it, they believed it would require a long and arduous process.

But to their astonishment, Xue An took only one day in seclusion to produce a modified, unified version of the Taoist teachings.

This was purely due to his respect for the seven Hua Clan forebears; otherwise, he could have done it in merely an hour.

After all, Xue An’s vision had already transcended the comprehension of everyone else.

Soon after, the cultivators of the Seven Paradises began practicing the Daoist techniques refined by Xue An, with his guidance on the side. In just one month, their individual strengths improved significantly.

At least now, even against the previous Demon Empress, Sealing Demon Paradise could stand its ground instead of being defeated one by one!

Finally!

After settling all matters, Xue An began his preparations to venture into the Ghost Realm.

"My lord, take me along with you! Even if I must serve as your sword-bearing servant!" Shi Jian said ingratiatingly.

Now, Shi Jian revered Xue An like a deity. He had even attempted to formally apprentice under Xue An multiple times, only to be gently rebuffed.

Nonetheless, Shi Jian continued to act as though he were a disciple, as he had gained immeasurable benefits during his time with Xue An.

His ’Sword Heart’ had reached dazzling levels of clarity, and with his current "Body of Ten Thousand Blades," his future prospects were boundless.

He knew deep within that all of this was due to Xue An’s guidance.

Hence his desire to accompany Xue An into the Ghost Realm.

Xue An chuckled, "That won’t be necessary. The Ghost Realm, which you perceive as vast, treacherous, and unpredictable, is but a trivial domain to me, unworthy of any grand preparation! Moreover, as the strongest sword cultivator in this realm currently, you should remain here as its protector. If demons truly come, wouldn’t the realm be left vulnerable?"

At Xue An’s words, Shi Jian lowered his head regretfully, knowing them to be true.

"Then, my lord, when will you return?"

Xue An smiled faintly, gazing at the distant horizon. "Not too long, I suppose—after all, I’ve promised Tao Niang to save Xiao Rui safely!"

Of course, Xue An hadn’t revealed that his journey to the Ghost Realm was also to investigate the source of the extreme Yin energy that had interfered during the Divine Realm’s war long ago!

"Farewell, my lord! I shall stand guard with my sword here and await your victorious return!" Shi Jian said solemnly, bowing respectfully.

Xue An laughed heartily, patting Shi Jian’s shoulder. "Very well!"

With that, Xue An’s figure flickered, soaring skyward in an instant and transforming into a brilliant sword light that split across the void before vanishing.

Just then, Xing Yushu arrived hurriedly, accompanied by Sheng Miaotong, Nian Xuexin, and others.

But they were a step too late, catching only a glimpse of Xue An’s back as he disappeared into the rift in space.

With a pale face, Xing Yushu cupped his fists toward the heavens, his voice solemn, "We humbly wish the lord safe travels!"
