Chapter 798: Helping in Secret, The First Celestial Radiance Cultivator Perished

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qin Shenwu didn’t elaborate further, but Jiang Chengxuan had his guesses.

Without lingering inside the sect, Jiang Chengxuan submitted his mission details at the Elders’ Hall and then promptly left the boundaries of the Haoran Sect.

A few days later.

A few days later, in the Xichuan Plains, where the large Heavenly Crystal mine was located, numerous battles were erupting.

Cultivators clad in Haoran Sect garb were clashing fiercely with those dressed in the Eternal Sword Sect’s attire.

The exchange was intense, with casualties on both sides over time.

However, overall, the Haoran Sect demonstrated superior strength compared to the Eternal Sword Sect.

So.

After some time, the Haoran Sect started gaining the upper hand.

Yet, up until now, no cultivators of the Celestial Radiance stage from either side had entered the fray.

The conflict was, for the time being, kept within certain limits.

But, as Jiang Chengxuan predicted, this equilibrium wouldn’t last long and was bound to be disrupted soon.

Indeed, just as he expected, half a month later, a clash over a strategic point led to both the Haoran Sect and the Eternal Sword Sect deploying their Celestial Radiance stage cultivators.

The battle between Celestial Radiance stage cultivators was immensely fierce, with the conflict quickly spreading over tens of thousands of miles.

In the sky, four cultivators, transformed into colossal figures spanning millions of feet, were colliding against each other, sending waves of formidable Haoran Qi and sword light soaring through the air like pillars, exploding continuously in the high skies.

The terrifying fluctuations directly rippled through the ground below and the surrounding void, creating visible ripples in the air.

Hidden in the shadows, Jiang Chengxuan observed the battle.

He noticed that the Eternal Sword Sect’s Celestial Radiance stage cultivators, whether in terms of Dharmic power strength or the divine powers they used, seemed slightly inferior to those of his own sect.

And this was probably related to the inheritances of both sides.

After all, the Haoran Sect was a super sect with a background in the Immortal Realm.

What about the Eternal Sword Sect?

Although it was also a super sect, there were also immortals in the Immortal Realm.

However, their overall foundation was still a little inferior to their Haoran Sect.

It was also because of this that the Eternal Sword Sect did not have the slightest advantage when facing the Haoran Sect.

Boom!

At this moment, two Celestial Radiance stage cultivators from the Haoran Sect made their move simultaneously.

In an instant, the two Celestial Radiance stage cultivators from the Eternal Sword Sect, and their Dharma Forms, were severely damaged.

Their once towering and solid figures immediately became somewhat ethereal, indicating that if the battle continued in this manner, they would undoubtedly be defeated before long.

However, at that moment, behind the two Eternal Sword Sect cultivators, a similarly formidable aura suddenly emerged.

It was another Celestial Radiance stage cultivator.

Seeing this, the two Celestial Radiance stage cultivators from the Haoran Sect exchanged a glance, with one of them commenting,

“I knew it. You guys from the Eternal Sword Sect wouldn’t play fair.”

Buzz!

As he spoke, a similarly powerful aura rose behind the Haoran Sect’s cultivators, belonging to someone Jiang Chengxuan knew well.

It was none other than Wen Tao.

Boom!

With a swipe of Wen Tao’s hand, his Dharma Form, spanning millions of feet, unleashed a slash.

There was a ripping sound as a sword qi, thick with the essence of Haoran, surged towards the newly appeared Eternal Sword Sect cultivator.

The cultivator’s expression tightened.

Just as he was about to activate his Dharma Form to counterattack, an extremely obscure force suddenly descended on him, causing his movements and reactions to be slower.

“How…”

His pupils shrank in shock.

By the time he attempted to counterattack, it was already too late.

Boom!

The Haoran sword qi slashed by Wen Tao directly split his Dharma Form in two, causing an explosion of spiritual Qi in the sky.

The cultivator uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seizing the moment, Wen Tao struck again.

The remaining two Eternal Sword Sect cultivators saw this and their expressions drastically changed.

Unfortunately, before they could react, the two Celestial Radiance stage cultivators from the Haoran Sect had already intercepted them.

The cultivator who had spoken just now smiled and said, “What are you two trying to do?

Don’t forget, your opponents are us.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two Haoran Sect cultivators attacked.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In that instant, the two sides collided tens of thousands of times.

On the other side.

Wen Tao, with a significant advantage, launched another slash towards the Eternal Sword Sect cultivator.

Buzz!

A tremendously blinding giant sword glow suddenly appeared in the sky, slicing through space itself.

Even before the sword glow fully reached him, the Eternal Sword Sect cultivator already felt a piercing pain across his body.

“Damn it!”

The Eternal Sword Sect cultivator was both shocked and enraged.

He couldn’t understand the source of the mysterious force that had slowed his reactions and thoughts just moments before.

Unfortunately, he no longer had the chance to unravel this mystery.

As he was grappling with these thoughts, a more potent binding force suddenly descended upon him, dissolving all his defenses.

This immediately made him realize that there was another person hiding around them.

He attempted to warn his comrades, but as he opened his mouth to shout, Wen Tao’s attack had already engulfed his entire body.

During this process, a sword glow even sharper than Wen Tao’s swept across the Eternal Sword Sect cultivator without drawing any attention from those present except perhaps for a faint notice from Wen Tao himself.

However, he didn’t dwell on it.

With rapid hand seals, Wen Tao conjured the figure of a sage donning a Confucian cap, who then drew a pen and pointed it straight at the brow of the Eternal Sword Sect cultivator.

“How dare you!”

“Defend!”

At this moment, the Eternal Sword Sect cultivators who were held back by the two Celestial Radiance stage cultivators of the Haoran Sect could not help but be furious.

They desperately wanted to assist their fellow sect member but were unable to break free from the Haoran Sect cultivators’ blockade, forced to watch as the pen in Wen Tao’s Dharma Form made contact with their comrade’s forehead.

BOOM!

It was like a comet exploding.

A blinding orb of light in the high sky suddenly collapsed inward and then rapidly expanded.

Caught in the midst of this were the Eternal Sword Sect Celestial Radiance stage cultivator and his Dharma Form.

“Senior Brother Liang!”

The two Eternal Sword Sect cultivators exclaimed in shock.

At this moment, all eyes were drawn to that part of the sky, where a massive Dharma Form and the figure of a bearded man disintegrated in front of everyone.

This marked the first Celestial Radiance stage cultivator to fall since the battle began.

Reacting swiftly, the two Eternal Sword Sect cultivators immediately retreated with their forces, conceding the strategic point completely.

This turn of events came as a pleasant surprise to the two Haoran Sect cultivators.

Approaching Wen Tao, they respectfully fist-bumped their chests and said,

“Senior Brother Wen, it’s amazing to see how much your strength has grown in such a short time. To be able to slay an opponent of the same stage in direct combat truly earns our admiration.”

However, faced with their compliments, Wen Tao’s brow furrowed slightly, hinting at a complex mix of feelings about the situation.

Wen Tao glanced at the two junior brothers and inquired,

“Did either of you notice anything unusual just now?”

“Something unusual?”

Hearing Wen Tao’s question, both cultivators were visibly taken aback.

The young man in blue asked, “Senior Brother Wen, what do you mean by ‘something unusual’?”

After pondering for a moment, Wen Tao shared his suspicion with them,

“I suspect someone secretly lent us a hand just now.”

“Someone helped us?”

The two junior brothers were immediately surprised by this revelation.

They did not expect Wen Tao to say this.

Suddenly, the tall, thin man seemed to realize something and asked with some astonishment,

“Senior Brother Wen, are you suggesting that your ability to slay Liang Guanghua was because someone in the shadows assisted you?”

“That’s right.”

Wen Tao didn’t conceal the truth and nodded in affirmation.

“If it weren’t for that person’s assistance, I believe it would have been impossible to slay Liang Guanghua. At most, defeating him would have been feasible.”

“Uh…”

The two junior brothers exchanged glances, bewildered.

If what Wen Tao said was true, how powerful must that hidden individual be, especially since they hadn’t detected his presence at all?

Most importantly, who could this person be?

“Senior Brother Wen, if this is indeed the case, do you have any guesses about the identity of this person?” the young man in blue inquired.

However, Wen Tao shook his head.

“As far as I know, there doesn’t seem to be anyone within our Haoran Sect who specializes in such concealling abilities.

Moreover, the strength of this individual is formidable.

At least at the Celestial Radiance stage, I’ve heard of no one like that.”

“Could it be one of the Seethrough stage senior brothers?”

The tall, thin man initially speculated but then immediately dismissed the idea.

What status do those in the Seethrough stage hold?

It seemed improbable for them to act in such a manner.

Most importantly, if a Seethrough stage cultivator had indeed intervened in the battle, it would have been impossible for both their side and the Eternal Sword Sect not to notice even the slightest sign.

While Wen Tao and the others were discussing among themselves, Jiang Chengxuan, positioned further back, suddenly noticed some unusual movements from the Eternal Sword Sect’s side..
