My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Chapter 696: Chapter 189 Above the Sky-Man, Is the Immortal (Seeking Subscriptions)

Cheng Guang furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing Granny Qianhua’s words and muttered to himself, “Earth Immortal…”

“Above Sky-Men are Immortals.”

Cheng Guang suddenly realized.

If there are Immortals above Sky-Men,

then could the Great Tang Emperor also be an Immortal?

Sky-Men can easily crush those below them.

...

So, could Earth Immortals just as easily crush Sky-Men?

With just a wave of their hand,

they could flatten the grand Sects of the Huashan Sword Sect.

Such power is not something ordinary Sky-Men can wield.

To flip one’s hand for clouds, to cover one’s hand for seas.

Tactics that can change the colors of heaven and earth.

It’s probably only possible for Immortals.

Cheng Guang thought about this and couldn’t help but be astonished.

After being shocked for a while,

Cheng Guang took a deep breath and gradually calmed the shock in his heart.

“Granny, when did this happen?”

“A week ago.”

“I received the news five days ago,”

Granny Qianhua said as she lowered her eyes, her aged gaze fixed on Ning Qianxue while holding her hand.

“Qianxue, during this period, I won’t insist that you immediately take on the burden of the Taihao Sword Sect.”

“After all, this old body of mine still has some use.”

“However, you must hurry to raise your cultivation level, although even a Sky-Man in these times cannot be fully guaranteed safety, even so, increasing your strength a bit is always good.”

Granny Qianhua’s tone was very calm, but everyone in the room could hear the intense and lingering worry in her peaceful voice.

Granny Qianhua was very concerned.

Not about herself,

but about the Taihao Sword Sect.

And about Ning Qianxue.

Worried about the future.

First, the Sky-Men from various dynasties entered the Secret Realm and then suddenly disappeared.

Then came the incident with Great Tang.

Now, this mysterious powerful being has appeared.

The world has already started to descend into chaos.

The majesty of Sky-Men, imperceptibly, has been completely eroded.

If Sky-Men were still of any use,

Granny Qianhua could ensure the continued existence of the Taihao Sword Sect by herself.

But…

Granny Qianhua couldn’t.

Sky-Men are no longer as powerful as they once were.

After Granny Qianhua spoke, the air went silent for a while.

Ning Qianxue’s bright eyes, without notice, began to well up with tears.

Ning Qianxue was saddened by the disappearance of her father and shocked by the sudden destruction of the Huashan Sword Sect.

A multitude of emotions surged into Ning Qianxue’s heart, leaving her unsure of what to do.

“Princely Heir.”

Ning Qianxue looked towards Cheng Guang, her lips slightly parted, softly calling out to him.

Cheng Guang slowly shook his head, raised his hand slightly, and gently wiped away the tears from Ning Qianxue’s eyes before softly saying, “It’s going to be alright.”

“Ning’s location is unknown right now, he might not be dead.”

“After a while, I will go check out the Huashan Sword Sect area; perhaps I can find some clues. If it really is an Earth Immortal, we need to clarify who that Earth Immortal is.”

Once Cheng Guang said this,

Ning Qianxue still didn’t show much reaction, but she couldn’t help leaning on Cheng Guang’s shoulder, tears soaking his clothes.

Granny Qianhua, hearing Cheng Guang’s words, began to feel uneasy.

She looked concerned as her eyes slightly changed, her expression turning grave.

“Princely Heir, you want to go to the Huashan Sword Sect area?”

Cheng Guang nodded confidently.

To tell the truth, the sudden destruction of the great Huashan Sword Sect was more than likely the act of an Earth Immortal level being.

Just on this point alone,

Cheng Guang wanted to see for himself.

If that legendary Earth Immortal truly existed,

then it could very likely be one of the Celestial Gods or Western Buddhas.

These two factions, always lurking in the shadows, were the most probable suspects.

According to the system task notification and the memories of the real Princely Heir, there was no mention of the incident at Taihao Sword Sect, nor of the destruction of Huashan Sword Sect.

It seemed likely,

not that such an event didn’t occur in the real Princely Heir’s timeline,

but that it simply hadn’t caught the true Princely Heir’s attention.

After all, the real Princely Heir had not married Ning Qianxue and likely hadn’t had much contact with the Taihao Sword Sect.

Thinking this, Cheng Guang resolved that he must visit the Huashan Sword Sect.

Even if there was nothing to see,

just observing the traces left by the mysterious powerful being would be worthwhile.

“That place must not be approached!” Granny Qianhua said with a serious look.

Cheng Guang, hearing her words, couldn’t help but show confusion.

“Granny, what’s wrong?”

“Is there a problem there?”

Cheng Guang couldn’t understand why Granny Qianhua was so adamant about refusing him the moment she heard he wanted to go to the Huashan Sword Sect, even showing such a cautious demeanor.

Could it be that there was some danger near the Huashan Sword Sect?

Granny Qianhua nodded gravely.

“There’s a problem.”

“Princely Heir, the area around the Huashan Sword Sect is now filled with malevolence, with a nefarious aura everywhere. Ordinary people who get close lose their minds, their cultivation becomes unstable, and without great caution, they can fall into demonic deviation.”

“Even an old woman like me felt uneasy when I approached the Huashan Sword Sect.”
