Chapter 1643: Immortal Nation

The golden immortal slammed a palm strike down on Qi Fengyun without forewarning, also targeting the empyrean immortals by the latter’s side. In his eyes, these were all ants. As guilty as Xia Wan may be, he was still the young lord of Truecloud Sect and the sect’s dignity could not be affronted.

Pssshhhh…

The void shook as Qi Fengyun and the three empyrean immortals crumbled away into dust.

“Puppetry! Such a sophisticated art of puppetry!” The golden immortal looked in Truecloud Nation’s direction with shock.

The Truecloud Sect was one of the highest ranked sects in Myriadsea World, but they didn’t possess a level of puppetry that could present the fake as real.

“We already have a feud with each other, so we must destroy Truecloud Nation at all costs. Otherwise, the sect will suffer an immense loss of face!” The golden immortal gnashed his teeth. “Xia Wan, contact the monster spirits and ally with them to destroy Truecloud Nation!”

“The monster spirits?!” Xia Wan paused with shock. Despite hesitation writ large on his face, he couldn’t defy the immortal’s words. Though he was the young lord of the sect on Myriadsea World, the branch on the world was just one of cultivators. Their true strength was in their world of immortals.

He didn’t dare go against an immortal’s commands.

“We don’t necessarily have to ally with the monster spirits…” he offered doggedly. “Dongfang Ao is very pompous and has always fancied himself second strongest in Myriadsea World. Now that he’s been defeated three times in a row…”

Xia Wan abruptly stopped talking when the golden immortal raked him with a cold glare.

“Dongfang Ao is indeed the second strongest cultivator in Myriadsea World, but he faces an enemy that can kill me with one thought!

“Would you collect a group of ants to kill a tiger?”

Fearful sweat beaded Xia Wan’s forehead and he spoke no further.

……

“The Truecloud Sect is as tyrannical as ever!” Immortal Hu Hai ground his teeth. If it wasn’t for the puppet that Qi Fengyun had fashioned for him, he’d already be dead. He was the strongest of the three guardians of sequence.

“A golden immortal dares attack a guardian of sequence?” Qi Fengyun goggled with shock. He’d thought that the golden immortal wouldn’t dare stand in their way when he chased down Xia Wan with the three guardians.

Who would’ve thought that he’d kill all four puppets without another word?

“Hmph!” Hu Hai’s face sank and he sighed, deflating. “We are no longer guardians of sequence after we’ve lost our medallion.”

Lu Yun had taken their medallion and wanted to derive the sequence of immortal dao from it. He naturally wouldn’t return it to them.

“A golden immortal from the Truecloud Sect has come, my master has to take action himself…” Qi Fengyun shook his head. If Lu Yun wanted to take action, the golden immortal would already be dead. Since he wasn’t, then Lu Yun had other plans in mind. Qi Fengyun didn’t dare presume to guess his master’s mind.

“This is just a simple scheme from those above us,” Hu Hai heaved a sigh of resignation. “Your master probably wants to use this incident to expand Truecloud Nation’s territory.

“Though the nation bears the same name as Truecloud Sect, that’s only because this is the Truecloud Immortal King’s homeland. The nation is located to the far east of Ruina Sea and is very far away from his world of immortals. Qi here is thin and scarce. Even the Truecloud Mountain that we destroyed previously is no longer where the sect truly is,” Hu Hai elaborated. “It’s all just an empty shell.

“The sect’s precious Truecloud world of immortals is close to Ruina Sea—the core of Myriadsea World. Ten thousand daos vie for supremacy there and powerhouses are too many to be counted. Immortal kings number among the hundreds, even thousands. Your master certainly won’t be satisfied with this little plot of land, so he’ll use Truecloud Nation to expand his territory!”

Qi Fengyun was in full agreement with this analysis. He counted among the nobility of the sect and knew a bit of the games of power. For the Qi Fengyun of old, Truecloud Nation and Mountain was his entire stage. But now that he grasped formula dao, he quickly understood that the outskirts of Myriadsea World were too small.

“Then, we need to follow master’s will and wage war with the outside world so we can expand our territory!”

“Hasn’t Xia Wan run off? We can use that for an excuse to declare war with the other two immortal nations under Truecloud Sect’s jurisdiction! And the monster spirits!” Hu Hai leered. “They raised a tide of beasts to attack Truecloud Nation, so we’ll crush them too!”

He’d fully submitted to Lu Yun after he learned formula dao and understood the terrifying capabilities of this great dao. Perhaps he nursed some other motivations still, but he would never dare rebel while Lu Yun was present.

“It doesn’t need to be that complicated,” Qi Fengyun shook his head. “We just need to change Truecloud Nation’s name to create endless war for us.”

“Change the name?” Hu Hai and the other two immortals blinked.

“Truecloud Immortal Nation!” Qi Fengyun declared. “Truecloud Sect once changed its name to the Truecloud Immortal Sect. A dozen sects surrounded it as soon as it did so and thirteen immortal kings stepped forth to blockade the Truecloud Immortal King.

“They blew one of the sect’s worlds of immortals to pieces, forcing the immortal king to change the name back to the Truecloud Sect. Therefore, if we change the nation’s name to the Truecloud Immortal Nation, people will come to us instead of us bringing war to them!”

“Change the name to Truecloud Immortal Nation?” The three immortals jumped with shock.

In a world of immortal dao, an immortal nation was more important than an immortal sect. If this change took place, powerhouses greater than immortal king might appear on their doorstep. There were plenty of immortal sects in Myriadsea World, such as the Big Dipper Immortal Sect, Unsullied Immortal Island, Sol Immortal Sect… but there was only one immortal nation—Ruina Immortal Nation, the keeper of the Immortal Myriadtree.

Defeating Dongfang Ao and the three guardians of sequence were just tiny scuffles, but if Qi Fengyun really changed the nation’s name to Truecloud Immortal Nation, true war and trouble would descend upon them.

“Wait, don’t be brash! Let’s take care of Truecloud Sect first!” Another immortal—He Hai—screeched.

“I can more or less guess certain parts of my master’s ambitions. He taught me formula dao so I would share it with Myriadsea World and facilitate it to become the great dao to end all great daos! My master will then become a dao forefather and cast his brilliant splendor for eons.

“If we are to propagate dao, we must completely conquer this world! I believe my master has this level of strength. Xia Xu!” Qi Fengyun suddenly roared. “Change the nation’s name this very instant. Right now. This instant!! From now on, we are the Truecloud Immortal Nation!

“Or erase the Truecloud part and just call ourselves the Immortal Nation!” Fervor and slight madness flashed across Qi Fengyun’s face. He feared nothing when he grasped formula dao.

“Crazy, you’re completely crazy!” Hu Hai, He Hai, and Jiang Hai were dumbfounded by Qi Fengyun’s insanity.
