As Xiao Xiuyi spoke, Lin Xuankong had already circulated the True Qi within his body, forcing a drop of Essence Blood from his Heart Mansion onto the Cyan Nether Immortal Sword!

Instantly, Lin Xuankong felt a tremor in his Heart Spirit, as if he had formed a connection with this incredibly heavy and terrifying Growth-type Immortal Sword.

Immediately after, light continuously flashed within his Life Plate, and a few lines of large characters appeared:

[Cyan Nether Immortal Sword: Growth-type Immortal Artifact, can grow up to Immortal Tier Three. Currently at the Initial Tier; nurturing completion allows activation for three breaths. Current Nurturing Level: True Qi 1/100,000]

After seeing these lines clearly, Lin Xuankong, who was initially a bit nervous, relaxed slightly. Without any hesitation, he quickly poured the vast amount of True Qi from his body into the Immortal Sword.

As expected of an extraordinary Growth-type Immortal Artifact! Lin Xuankong thought to himself. Nurturing it to completion once requires a full 100,000 points of True Qi, and this is still in its Initial Tier state! If it were any other cultivator, even a Ninth-Layer Late Stage or Ninth-Layer Perfection cultivator, it would probably take them hundreds of days to fully nurture this Immortal Artifact! And after consuming a full 100,000 points of True Qi, it can only be activated for three breaths. Immortal Artifacts are truly not something mere mortals can wield easily... However, since it is a true Immortal Artifact, its power will definitely be incredibly terrifying, absolutely matching its consumption!

At this moment, as Lin Xuankong continued to pour in vast amounts of True Qi, the Cyan Nether Sword, which had been motionless, suddenly began to vibrate slightly. In the next instant, the pillar of light that illuminated the heavens and earth vanished!

「In the Inner City of Great Marsh Prefecture, at Linshui Pavilion.」

Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er was seated at a table, reviewing the training progress of Battle Arrays sent by various families and prefectures. Suddenly, she sensed something and couldn't help but look out the window.

Beside her, Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect's Grand Elder Ouyang Qinglan also sensed something and looked out the window.

When the pillar of light from the Cyan Nether Sword, piercing the sky and illuminating the heavens, entered their sight, both of these cultivators, who held significant influence throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, showed a sudden change in expression, their eyes filled with immense surprise.

"This... this light piercing the sky, it seems to be Sword Qi? But how could there be such dazzling Sword Qi in this world, illuminating thousands of miles?" Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er quickly walked to the window, gazing intently at the astonishing column of light.

Grand Elder Ouyang Qinglan also carefully watched the pillar of light, her expression fluctuating. Suddenly, she recalled something and exclaimed, "Such Sword Qi, such a column of light! Even the strongest sword-shaped Battle Armors of our Great Xia could not achieve this, absolutely not! Such Sword Qi can only be produced by the legendary Immortal Artifacts of the Central Divine Dynasty! But... but how is this possible? Our Great Xia Dynasty actually has an Immortal Artifact appearing?"

Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er's pretty face was filled with astonishment and surprise. "This is the light of an Immortal Artifact? Grand Elder, are you sure this is the light of an Immortal Artifact?"

Grand Elder Ouyang Qinglan stared fixedly at the light pillar, frowned, and said, "Although I haven't personally seen the Immortals of the Central Divine Dynasty, nor have I seen the Magical Artifacts and Immortal Artifacts that only Immortals can possess, I am absolutely certain that even if our Great Xia's Battle Armors were enhanced tenfold, a hundredfold, or even several hundredfold, they could never display such power!"

Upon hearing this, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er dared not delay any longer and leaped outside. "Elder Ouyang, quickly take me to where the Sword Qi originated! The Great Xia Dynasty actually has an Immortal Artifact appearing... If it truly is an Immortal Artifact, and if it falls into our hands, then we will have a certain victory in this battle of the Sealing Demon Mountain Range!"

Ouyang Qinglan's True Qi surged beneath her feet, and she instantly flew out the window. "Third Princess, if it truly is an Immortal Artifact, and if it can indeed fall into our hands, then its influence will extend far beyond just this one battle! If our Celestial Sect Leader or Emperor Xiao of Great Xia controls this Immortal Artifact, those Ninth-Layer Great Demons wreaking havoc across Great Xia will surely be terrified by its reputation! No Great Demon will dare to assail our Great Xia, and no Great Demon will dare to rampage through our lands again!"

As she spoke, she had already flown to Xiaoo Ying'Er's side. Then, with a slight spread of True Qi beneath her feet, she supported the descending Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er, and their figures shot towards Prison Dragon City like arrows loosed from a bow!

At the same time, countless cultivators from all over Great Marsh Prefecture leaped out from their residences, each with an excited expression, heading towards Prison Dragon City!

Even though these cultivators didn't know exactly what item caused such a phenomenon, such a spectacle undoubtedly indicated an extraordinary treasure. Who could remain unmoved in the face of such a treasure?

In an instant, from the Guo Family, Feng Family, Black Tiger Gang, Spirit Snake Gang, Huang Family, Zhao Family, Yin Talisman Sect, and other sects and prominent families, tall figures leaped out with extreme speed, heading nonstop out of Great Marsh Prefecture City!

It was not just these local cultivators from Great Marsh Prefecture. Powerful experts from Prince Yu's Mansion, Prince Qi's Mansion, Prince Dong's Mansion, Prince Yi's Mansion, and other princely mansions and sects, including the Prefects gathered from various regions, all leaped or flew from their respective residences, heading towards Prison Dragon City!

The countless cultivators, too numerous to count, filled the sky above Great Marsh Prefecture City with a cacophony of whistling wind!

「Great Xia Dynasty Capital.」

In a magnificent and towering palace, Emperor Xiao of Great Xia, dressed in bright yellow robes, was solemnly listening to a memorial from a Grand Elder of the Holy Dragon Association when suddenly, both sensed something. They immediately transformed into phantoms and headed outside the palace hall.

Standing outside the palace gate, which was more than ten zhang high, they gazed at the pillar of light piercing the sky, their expressions changing.

With a dignified face, Emperor Xiao of Great Xia said gravely, "Relay my decree! Immediately use the Communication Jade Tokens to order the Southern Border Celestial Sect and the Holy Dragon Association to investigate the cause of this phenomenon at once!"

"As you command!" The First Grand Elder of the Holy Dragon Association, a Ninth-Layer Late Stage cultivator, immediately knelt on one knee, received the order, and departed.

「Northwest of the capital, Immortal Sect's Palace.」

A man with a jade-like complexion, tall and slender, dressed in white robes, sat cross-legged in a pavilion, silently cultivating an Immortal Technique.

When the pillar of light piercing the sky ignited, this white-robed man suddenly moved, floating into mid-air and gazing towards a direction tens of thousands of li away.

After staring for a moment, he retracted his gaze and took a Jade Token from his waist to examine it. Then, his expression changed, revealing a look of fervor, and he shot towards the southeastern sky like an arrow.

The Jade Token in his hand displayed several lines of large characters:

"Spiritual Crane Immortal Master's Order: An Immortal Artifact has appeared in the southeast of Great Xia.

It is likely one of the relics of a Fallen Immortal from the Fallen Immortal War 10,000 years ago.

The Immortal Master has already dispatched ten Ninth-Layer Late Stage cultivators; they will bypass Boundaryless Mountain and reach Great Xia within twenty days!

True Disciple Cao Yu is hereby ordered to proceed immediately to the southeast of Great Xia, investigate the situation within seven days, and transmit back the information. If the Immortal Artifact is obtained, the reward will be ten Ascension Elixirs, one Immortal Yuan Cave Mansion, five Ninth-Layer Immortal Servants, and three Tier Nine Spiritual Artifacts!"

「Northwest of Rakshasa Kingdom, Red Cloud Mountain Range.」

In Fallen Crow Valley, before an entirely golden Copper Hall that stood a hundred zhang tall, black mist suddenly spread out for hundreds, even thousands of zhang!

Immediately after, a voice echoed from within the great hall:

"An Immortal Artifact has appeared in the southeast of Great Xia!

All disciples at the Ninth Layer and above, heed this order: proceed immediately to Great Xia's Southern Border and search for the Immortal Artifact!

Whoever obtains the Immortal Artifact and offers it to the Demon Venerable shall be rewarded with twenty Demon Seed Pills, three years of cultivation in the True Demon Illusion Realm, and the supreme true transmission from the Demon Venerable, allowing them to reach the Seed Demon Realm!"

The next moment, in Fallen Crow Valley, five giant black crows, each over ten zhang long, flew up from various parts of the valley, heading southeast. Upon the backs of these giant crows stood tall figures, each wreathed in Demonic Qi...
