Chapter 511: Heavenly Venerable Slaughters Ten Thousand Immortals

Without knowing what he had discovered, he unilaterally took out Senior Sister Zhao's drop of blood from the isolated space and began to examine it closely.

"Sect Master, you!" Senior Sister Zhao exclaimed in surprise.

"It's nothing!" Ji Changxi's body became enveloped in a layer of black light.

Senior Sister Zhao instantly recognized it as the unique divine light manifested by the "Great Dao of Supernatural Power and Solitude" from the *Great Dao Scripture of Heaven Punishing*. Before this divine ability, all foreign energies would be transformed into something that could be controlled by him. She had briefly practiced this divine art herself! But now...

Lowering her head, Senior Sister Zhao carefully concealed the ambition and dissatisfaction in her eyes. Fortunately, the attention of the Great Dao Sect elders present was entirely focused on the continuously churning drop of blood in Ji Changxi's hand. No one seemed to notice anything unusual about her.

Black light continuously emanated from Sect Master Ji, surrounding the blood drop. As the black light surged, the blood drop was steadily being consumed. However, before Ji Changxi could analyze its properties, a crisp cough suddenly sounded beside him. A trace of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

And this was just the beginning. As if triggering a chain reaction, uncontrolled coughing soon echoed throughout the sect hall, where elites had gathered.

"How is this possible?!" After personally experiencing the severity of this unknown ailment, the elders' expressions drastically changed.

"Interesting, interesting..."

"Wait, this seems to be..."

Nevertheless, those present were, after all, the cream of the crop among the elites who had survived for thousands of years in the Xuanhuang Cultivation World. Soon, they each used their own methods to suppress the abnormalities in their bodies. Some even began to study it with great interest on the spot.

Seeing the elders' reactions, Li Fan and Senior Sister Zhao exchanged glances, feeling a little relieved.

"Its transmissibility and pathogenicity are utterly terrifying. I've never seen anything like it in my life! Even the Immortal Edict released by the Xuan Tian Sect in their dying struggle back then probably wasn't as potent," a white-haired elder slowly remarked.

Li Fan only knew this person as Mo Zhiran, one of the Great Dao Sect elders, proficient in pharmacology. He lived a reclusive life, not concerning himself with sect affairs. However, it was said that the pills he refined were of extremely high quality. Even for the Creation Purple Gold Pill that Li Fan had previously consumed, Mo Zhiran, with his Dao Integration cultivation, could refine a flawed version that still retained seventy to eighty percent of its efficacy.

After Mo Zhiran began, the other elders also spoke freely, sharing their own opinions.

"This illness is all-encompassing. As long as one comes into contact with it, it will spontaneously grow within a cultivator's body. Mild cases are manageable, but if it can't be suppressed in time and develops into a severe case..."

"At best, cultivation will regress; at worst, one will perish and their Dao will be extinguished!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present grew solemn.

"I just tried more than ten methods, and while all of them quickly eliminated the symptoms of this illness, the fundamental power causing it doesn't seem to have truly dissipated. It remains hidden deep within the body. What exactly is its parasitic medium? It's truly bizarre..."

"We old folks, with our decent cultivation, can easily suppress the symptoms. But what about the disciples within the sect? Without medicinal pills to help them, I'm afraid..."

"First, there was the 'Law of Incompatible Cultivation,' and now this strange, bizarre illness..."

"The path to immortality is cut off, and the future is bleak! Better to go home, better to go home!"

"Lei Fanzhi, there are juniors present, what nonsense are you spouting?"

The solemn and dignified sect hall, the most serious place, had now become as noisy as a bustling market. Li Fan and Senior Sister Zhao merely lowered their heads, daring not to show the slightest hint of abnormality.

"Everyone!"

Just then, a voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention. The hall instantly fell silent.

"I have an idea," said Ji Changxi, Sect Master of the Great Dao Sect, his expression grave. "I believe some of you have already realized why this so-called strange illness is so insidious and hard to guard against. It's entirely because it is also one of the newly emerging laws of heaven and earth. In other words, it is a principle of heaven and earth. Moreover, unlike the 'Law of Incompatible Cultivation'..."

"It was caused by a cultivator!"

Like a clap of thunder, the words made Li Fan and Senior Sister Zhao suddenly look up, staring at Ji Changxi, their minds instantly reeling with shock.

Caused by a cultivator? Going against the principles of heaven and earth?

One must understand that ever since the transmission of laws allowed for attaining longevity, and only new laws could be cultivated in heaven and earth, while a large number of Dao Integration cultivators had emerged, not a single person had been able to defy the principles of heaven and earth and break through to the Longevity Realm. The Ten Immortal Sects had countless heroes. Decades of attempts, yet none of the so-called prodigies had succeeded. This showed how incredibly difficult it was to defy the principles of heaven and earth!

Yet now, according to Sect Master Ji, a cultivator had silently and successfully attained the Dao of Longevity? Who could it be?

Although the Ten Immortal Sects each harbored their own intentions, they still maintained mutual communication. For a major event like a disciple breaking through to the Longevity Realm, even if they wouldn't announce it beforehand, they would certainly send messages to inform all other sects after a successful advancement.

Furthermore, this newly promoted Longevity Celestial Venerable seemed to have defied the principle that "epidemics cannot harm cultivators." Such an act, almost making an enemy of all cultivators, could absolutely not be the work of a cultivator from the Ten Immortal Sects. Why would they dig their own graves? So, who was this person, not only elevating themselves to the Longevity Realm but also seeking to eliminate all cultivators in the world? This was a blatant provocation and declaration of war.

It wasn't just Li Fan and Senior Sister Zhao. The elders in the hall and Ji Changxi also had an uncontrollable surge of killing intent in their eyes.

"Investigate! We must get to the bottom of this!"

"Even if this person is a Longevity Celestial Venerable, such an act is unforgivable!"

"I will immediately meet with the other leaders of the Immortal Sects to relay this news. As for the Myriad Immortals Alliance..." Ji Changxi paused. "Send someone to inform them as well. We'll gauge their reactions. With the combined top-tier forces of the entire Xuanhuang Realm, I refuse to believe this fellow can escape justice!"

"While tracing the culprit, we must also focus on preventing this illness. From today onwards, the Medicine Hall will operate at full capacity, ensuring a sufficient supply of pills within our Great Dao Sect."

"As for outside the Great Dao Sect..." Ji Changxi hesitated for a moment. "After enduring multiple catastrophes, our Great Dao Sect has also suffered heavy losses. We may not even have the strength to protect ourselves... Let them fend for themselves."

All the elders nodded slightly, having no objections to Sect Master Ji's decision.

"I will also try to find a way to alleviate the symptoms of this strange illness," Mo Zhiran said, a hint of yearning in his eyes. "If I can completely neutralize its harm to cultivators, it would be equivalent to defying the principles of heaven and earth once more. If so, perhaps I too can hope for longevity," he mumbled.
