The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

boom! boom! boom!

A series of deafening roars echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Whether they were Heavenly Sword Sect elders who had reached the Earth Immortal realm, true disciples or deacons of the Heavenly Sword Sect who had reached the Human Immortal realm, or ordinary Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, all of them died under the blades.

In a moment!

The entire Heavenly Sword Sect was completely reduced to ruins!

"Pity!"

Chu Xiu sighed and put away the Taiqing Zhenyue Blade in his hand.

An immense power appeared within Chu Xiu's body; it was the power he had plundered after annihilating the entire Heavenly Sword Sect using the Killing Blade Technique.

As the person in charge of the killing blade formation, Chu Xiu received the largest amount of power.

In the blink of an eye, his cultivation level rose from the peak of the ninth level of the Human Immortal Realm to the peak of the first level of the Earth Immortal Realm.

After reaching the peak of the first level of the Earth Immortal Realm, he stopped growing.

After all, once you reach the Earth Immortal Realm, each advancement in a minor realm requires a significant amount of resources.

Although the Heavenly Sword Sect has tens of thousands of disciples, the power obtained by killing and plundering tens of thousands of Heavenly Sword Sect disciples will also be distributed to more than 8,000 elite Jinyiwei. The higher the cultivation level, the more power they will receive.

The cultivation levels of more than 8,000 elite Imperial Guards also began to surge in that instant.

Originally, the elite members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard had a cultivation level of at least the first level of the Immortal Ascension Realm, but at this moment they all stepped into the third level of the Immortal Ascension Realm.

Fang Heng, Pei Shiji, and Luo Tianxi even reached the peak of the ninth level of the Human Immortal Realm.

After all, they were already at the level of human immortals.

Jiang Li, Shen Congyun, Qin Changsheng, and six other commanders reached the seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm.

Jiang Li and the other two reached the peak of the seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm, while the other six commanders were at the minor or major completion level of the seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm.

Even elite Jinyiwei officers at the centurion level have reached the Human Immortal realm.

Both the junior and senior officers have entered the Celestial Realm.

Even Xiao Qi has reached the fifth level of the Celestial Realm.

The strength of the more than 8,000 elite Imperial Guards has increased dramatically once again!

"..."

Qin Chuan stared blankly at the scene.

Although he had long heard that the Embroidered Uniform Guard had a killing blade formation, and that his cultivation level would increase dramatically every time he killed an enemy.

But when Qin Chuan actually saw this scene, he still looked incredulous.

Their Imperial Guards were known as the most powerful army in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Compared to the elite Imperial Guards, he felt they were nothing at all.

With the Killing Blade Formation, could it be that one day all the members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard will reach the Celestial Realm, or even the Immortal Realm?

Rumble!

Suddenly!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

See!

Tianjian Mountain shattered, turning into countless rocks that cascaded down to the foot of the mountain!

Like a mighty river, it surges forth.

Seeing the massive mountain collapsing and crashing towards him, Qin Chuan's expression changed drastically.

He guessed that it must have been Chu Xiu's strike that shattered Heavenly Sword Mountain.

If all these rocks were to roll down, the elite Imperial Guards would likely not suffer serious damage, but his 10,000 Imperial Guards would likely lose more than half of their number.

"roll!"

A cold glint flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes, and he flicked his sleeve.

An incredibly terrifying force swept towards the boundless rocks that the thousand-foot mountain had transformed into, causing the boundless rocks to instantly freeze in mid-air.

A protective barrier enveloped the entire foothills of Tianjian Mountain.

Finally, the boundless rocks formed a new mountain at the foot of the mountain.

Both Qin Chuan and the ten thousand Imperial Guards breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, revealing expressions of relief. They knelt down before Chu Xiu and shouted in unison, "Thank you, Lord Marquis."

"No need to be polite."

Chu Xiu waved his hand and said.

Qin Chuan led ten thousand Imperial Guards to stand up.

They felt that their trip was just a formality.

Even if they didn't come, Chu Xiu, with his more than 8,000 elite Imperial Guards, would be enough to suppress the entire Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Fang Heng".

Chu Xiu said calmly.

"My subordinate is here."

Fang Heng said with a respectful expression.

"You are responsible for clearing out all the assets of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"Not only the Heavenly Sword Sect's treasury, and its property deeds, land deeds, and shops, but also the Heavenly Sword Sect's weapons should be collected."

Chu Xiu pondered for a moment, then spoke in a low but powerful voice.

The reason he didn't let the broken rocks of Tianjian Mountain roll down earlier wasn't just to protect the 10,000 Imperial Guards, but also because he didn't want to make it harder for Fang Heng and the others to clear out the Tianjian Sect.

The Heavenly Sword Sect has a history of over a thousand years.

The wealth accumulated by the entire Heavenly Sword Sect is absolutely beyond imagination.

After all, the entire Heavenly Sword Sect has tens of thousands of disciples, and the daily needs of tens of thousands of disciples require an enormous number of people.

These tens of thousands of disciples are all cultivators, and the cost of supporting one disciple exceeds that of five Imperial Guards soldiers.

Even ten Imperial Guards.

The sheer size of the Heavenly Sword Sect's wealth is evident from the fact that it can support such enormous expenses.

Having destroyed the Heavenly Sword Sect, they naturally couldn't let go of its wealth.

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."

Fang Heng said respectfully.

Chu Xiu nodded slightly, looked at Qin Chuan, and said calmly, "Qin Chuan, you take 10,000 Imperial Guards and help transport all the wealth of the Heavenly Sword Sect back to the capital."

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."

Qin Chuan said respectfully.

He secretly wondered if this was Chu Xiu's true intention.

He guessed that the Heavenly Sword Sect had accumulated countless riches, so he sent him with 10,000 Imperial Guards to help transport the goods.

Otherwise, he really couldn't understand why Chu Xiu would ask him to bring 10,000 Imperial Guards.

"Alright, there's nothing more to do here. I'll head back to the capital now."

Chu Xiu left behind a single sentence and then vanished from the spot.

"Farewell to the Marquis."

Qin Chuan, leading 10,000 Imperial Guards and over 8,000 elite Embroidered Uniform Guards, shouted with utmost respect.

After a while.

The capital city, the headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The courtyard of the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Chu Xiu sat upright at the stone table in the courtyard.

"Congratulations, host, for crushing the Heavenly Sword Sect and consistently doing positive things, you have received the reward of completing the ninth level of the Undying Golden Body Technique and the reward of the fifth strike of the Ananda Breaking the Precepts Blade Technique."

"Do you want to receive the reward?"

The mechanical voice of the positive energy system rang in Chu Xiu's mind.

"Yes."

Chu Xiu's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself.

The Undying Golden Body Technique has reached the ninth level of minor completion, which corresponds to the peak of the third level of the Earth Immortal realm in terms of external martial arts cultivation.

In this way, he cultivated both his inner and outer abilities and reached the realm of Earth Immortal!

Even without relying on the Embroidered Uniform Guard's killing blade formation, he is already one of the strongest people in the world!

At least within the Celestial Immortal Realm, before he could no longer make a move above the Celestial Immortal Realm, his strength was definitely one of the strongest in the world!

The words just fell!

A vast and mysterious power appeared in Chu Xiu's body, merging into his physical form and making his body continuously stronger. Naturally, he stepped from the peak of the Human Immortal Realm to the Lesser Completion of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Next!

A figure appeared in Chu Xiu's mind.

A young man in white robes, wielding a long sword, slashed out with his right hand.

With this slash, it seemed as if countless thin white lines were severed between heaven and earth.

These thin white lines were invisible and intangible before the slash was made.

"Is this the fifth strike of Ananda's Breaking the Precepts Sword Technique, and is it tainted by karma?"

"With a single strike, all karmic entanglements cease!"

"What a terrible knife!"

Chu Xiu slowly opened his eyes. Although his face remained calm, there was a hint of shock deep in his eyes.

However, Chu Xiu quickly composed himself and said in a deep voice, "Shadow Taotie."
