Chapter 69: All factions convened.
In the grand conference hall of the leaders of the Immortal Land, various factions had sent representatives to discuss the legacy of the Immortal Emperors in the Eternal Immortal Continent. The conversation was tense, filled with words laced with cunning and greed. Each side had their own plans to reap the benefits, disregarding everything else.
Feng Yi sat quietly in a corner of the meeting room, listening to everything in silence, but her heart was in turmoil. She could no longer tolerate the deceit and selfishness of these people. Each of them pretended not to desire the legacy of the Immortal Emperors, but she could see their greed and self-interest clearly.
"I don't want those legacies at all. What I desire is to protect the Tianyuan World! But we lack the necessary power. I believe my clan deserves half of the legacy so that we can fully protect the Tianyuan World."
Suddenly, a man sitting on the opposite side stood up and slammed the table loudly, his eyes filled with fury.
"Shut up! It would be useless in your hands! It would be better for my sect to use it."
The arguments continued to erupt. Another man sitting in a corner laughed mockingly before speaking in a scornful tone.
"Ridiculous! Do you think we are all three-year-olds here?"
The meeting in the grand hall dragged on with no clear conclusion. The arguments and differing proposals continued, with no side willing to compromise. A tense atmosphere filled the room throughout the meeting, and the only thing that became apparent was the increasing distrust among the different factions.
As soon as the meeting ended, the leaders of the various clans and sects rose from their seats. The friendly looks they once shared were now replaced by suspicion. Everyone left the hall without speaking, silently heading back to their territories, calculating how to gain the most benefit from the upcoming situation.
As Feng Yi returned to her carriage, she couldn't help but reflect on the words she had heard during the meeting. She understood well that cooperation was impossible in this situation. Feng Yi summoned a shadow, which emerged from her own shadow and bowed respectfully.
"What are your orders, my lady?" the shadow asked in a calm voice.
Feng Yi paused for a moment before speaking with a cold and decisive tone.
"Order the Heavenly Generals to gather all our forces. I want to take absolute control of the Flame Immortal Continent and ensure that mine is the only voice that will be heard there."
The shadow accepted the order without question. "Understood," it replied before vanishing into the darkness to carry out the command.
Feng Yi stood, gazing at the sky covered with thick clouds. She knew that the real battle was about to begin, and she didn't just want to seize a small piece of the benefits—she wanted to control everything.
She closed her eyes briefly and then opened them again with a determined gaze. "I will be the one to control everything..."
In the main hall of the Xue Clan, Xue Ting sat at the head of the table with a slightly displeased expression. Although she had completed a mission from the system, the thought of the reward for 100% completion pained her. She took a deep breath to calm her emotions, and as soon as she made her decision, she spoke with a firm tone.
"Gather all the elders of the clan. I want to accelerate the development of the Xue Clan," Xue Ting declared as she looked around. "I want to increase resources for everyone in the clan tenfold. All facilities—training rooms, time chambers, battle towers—will be open for free. In one year, I want to see a much stronger Xue Clan!"
All the elders in the meeting rose together, bowing in respect and unison.
"Understood, Clan Leader!"
Xue Ting nodded in satisfaction. Although the system hadn't given her the reward for 100% mission completion, 80% was more than enough.
Meanwhile, across the various lands of the Tianyuan World, chaos began to erupt. Factions started to grow suspicious of one another, with some regions even going so far as to slander each other to provoke war. This conflict did not only affect the clans and sects but also extended to various empires.
At the same time, the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty demonstrated immense power. They invaded and conquered many low, middle, and high-level continents. The continents that surrendered fell under their dominion, and the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty was on the verge of becoming the sole dominant force in the Flame Immortal Continent.
In the Wind Immortal Continent, there were four Immortal Emperor-level forces, and in recent days, there were reports that three of these Immortal Emperor-level forces had allied with three other Immortal Emperor-level forces outside the continent to target the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land, considered the strongest force in the Wind Immortal Continent.
At the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land, the atmosphere was filled with an indescribable tension. After being deceived by the six Immortal Emperor-level forces into sending ten of their high-level Immortal Emperor ancestors to fight to protect the Tianyuan World, it was revealed that this was a cruel assassination plot. They had been poisoned with a potent toxin that had no cure. Their faces turned pale, and the once-strong life force within them weakened to the point where it was barely detectable.
Many elders of the Sacred Land tried to find a way to help, but it was futile. The poison used on the ten ancestors was rare and extremely complex. The power of darkness had infiltrated their bodies and souls, making it impossible to use any healing power or antidote.
The atmosphere in the Sacred Land was filled with despair. The elders walked back and forth with worried expressions. They knew that if these ancestors perished, the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land would lose its most crucial pillars and would surely face collapse.
At that moment, Zi Hao, the Holy Son of the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land, entered the hall holding a bottle of medicine and a pill for advancing one's power.
"I present this healing medicine and Immortal Emperor advancement pill to the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land," Zi Hao said as he handed the bottles to the Lord of the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land.
The Lord of the Sacred Land stared at the medicine in astonishment, calculating its value in his mind, and realizing that the ancestors could be healed and elevated to the highest Immortal Emperor level.
"On behalf of the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land, I sincerely thank you, Zi Hao," the Lord of the Sacred Land replied earnestly.
"When this war is over, you may ask for anything you desire, and the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land will do its best to provide it for you."
All the elders, regardless of their rank or position, knelt down together. The sound of gratitude echoed throughout the room.
"Thank you, Holy Son!"
Zi Hao smiled slightly before raising his hand to signal for silence.
"There's no need to thank me so much. I'm only doing what I should for this Sacred Land."
Everyone present saw the sincerity in Zi Hao, and they swore to themselves that if Zi Hao ever encountered any problems in the future, they would help him without hesitation. Zi Hao stood calmly in the grand hall of the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land as the Lord of the Sacred Land received the medicine he had given. In his mind, a voice from the internal system rang out.
[Congratulations, Master, for investing 10 healing pills and 10 advancement pills. You have received a return of 1000 times. You have received 10,000 healing pills and 10,000 advancement pills.]
Zi Hao smiled in satisfaction, though outwardly he remained composed. Inside, he was filled with joy from this unexpected success. As he was basking in the rewards, sudden commotion erupted outside the hall. The sky above the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land was filled with figures, but they had not come with friendly intentions. Their murderous aura spread across the area, instantly thickening the atmosphere. The Lord of the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land immediately flew to a certain location, taking Zi Hao with him.
"Activate the defense formation and hold them off. I'll return as soon as possible," the Lord of the Sacred Land ordered with a firm voice.
"Understood!" all the elders responded in unison. Then, the powerful defense formation was activated. The immense power of this formation enveloped the entire Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land, like an impenetrable shield.
But the calm didn't last long. Several Immortal Emperors gathered outside began pooling their powers together. They cooperated in attacking the defense formation with overwhelming force. Each time a massive burst of power was unleashed, the formation shook, and a resounding noise echoed as the combined attacks struck the protective shield.
Finally, the defense formation collapsed. The sound of shattering energy reverberated throughout, as the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land could no longer withstand the immense power being unleashed upon it.
"Is this the so-called strongest Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land? I don't see anything special about it!" one of the Immortal Emperors sneered, looking disdainfully at the broken defense formation.
An elder of the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land stood tall and retorted in anger, "If you hadn't used such dirty tricks, deceiving our people into being killed and injured, you wouldn't be standing here talking like this!"
The other party chuckled lightly. "So what? You were foolish enough to fall for it. Who can you blame but yourselves?" he said, smirking before beginning his relentless attack.
Screams echoed throughout the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land as the Immortal Emperors mercilessly destroyed everything in their path. Blood stained the ground as many disciples were slaughtered. No one could withstand the overwhelming power of the attackers.
The elders tried to stand their ground, knowing it was a futile sacrifice, but they refused to give up easily. "We won't let you destroy the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land so easily!" one elder shouted, unleashing his final burst of power against the enemy.
But it wasn't enough. Their power was easily crushed. The slaughter continued unabated until the once-great Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land was reduced to mere ashes, carried away by the wind.
But in that split second, a powerful sword aura erupted from within the Sacred Land, causing many of the invaders to pause. The sword energy was so intense that it forced several enemies to retreat in fear.
Suddenly, a figure from the "Heavenly Assassination Pavilion" appeared. He was one of the three Immortal Emperor forces outside the Wind Immortal Continent. This Immortal Emperor raised his hand and easily blocked the incoming sword aura. He spoke in a mocking tone.
"Even if you've recovered from your injuries, you're still just one person!"
Behind this Immortal Emperor were 28 more Immortal Emperors, exuding an overwhelming presence. Among them were 7 high-level Immortal Emperors, 8 mid-level Immortal Emperors, and 13 low-level Immortal Emperors. Their combined presence created an intense pressure in the atmosphere.
But then, the atmosphere changed instantly as a powerful sword aura emanated from the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land. Nine high-level Immortal Emperors appeared one after another before the invaders. The expression on the face of the Immortal Emperor from the Heavenly Assassination Pavilion showed clear shock.
"How is this possible? How are you still alive, and why have you become even stronger?"
One of the enemies in the group spoke with a trembling voice.
"How can this be? You should be gravely injured and only have a few days left to live."
Another spoke in disbelief. "The poison... it's gone! It's been completely eradicated!" His face was filled with confusion and fear.
But then, mocking laughter echoed from within the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land. "That little poison of yours, did you really think it could destroy us? How naive!"
Suddenly, the sword aura that spread from the Sacred Land was truly terrifying. The Immortal Emperors hovering in the sky noticed the rapid change. Ten Immortal Emperor weapons floated above, radiating such intense energy that the surrounding atmosphere trembled constantly. There was no more conversation. Only the sword energy surged toward the Immortal Emperors from the Heavenly Assassination Pavilion and their allies. The sword aura was unmatched. One of the invaders cried out in fear.
"This is... the Ten Sword Death Formation! Run!"
"Ten high-level Immortal Emperors... we've lost!"
"No... no... I've just become a high-level Immortal Emperor... I don't want to die."
"How is this possible? You should be at the high-level Immortal Emperor stage..."
As soon as those words were spoken, all those who had invaded the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land were instantly annihilated, including 13 of the Immortal Emperors. They were filled with arrogance and never expected that the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land would still possess such strength. The remaining 15 Immortal Emperors immediately fled the Wind Immortal Continent.
When all the enemies had been slain, a voice echoed from the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land.
"People of the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land, follow me! We will conquer the Wind Immortal Continent!"
Suddenly, the resounding cries filled the hall. All the disciples and cultivators rose in unison, brimming with enthusiasm. They were excited by the declaration of their ancestors, and soon, the army of the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land began to march.
