1079 Without Choice (1/2)
Great Sage Immortal World, Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect.
The Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect was one of the famous Holy Lands, and it was located on a giant floating mountain.
The turquoise floating mountain cast a huge shadow, bringing with it a sense of overlooking all living beings.
In fact, this entire mountain was a primordial treasure that surpassed immortal artifact—the Mysterious Peak! Rumor had it that the foundation was laid by the founding patriarch, and a few Grand Unity Almighties had refined it in succession. It had once suppressed and killed a Primordial Godfiend!
Streams of light flashed on the Mysterious Peak. The lowest level of them was at Golden Core.
The Holy Land had its own standards. Ordinary Golden Core disciples were outer disciples, while Nascent Soul disciples were inner disciples. Immortals who wanted to join had to pass an assessment, but they would still become deacons at best.
Only those who were at the Grand Unity realm were qualified to be in the direct consideration of the Holy Land.
The Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect was undoubtedly the overlord in the southern Great Sage Immortal World.
On a certain mountain top of the Mysterious Peak.
Above the sea of clouds, a life-like stone statue seemed as though it was overlooking a cliff.
Crack! Crack!
Suddenly, cracks appeared on the statue. It exploded to reveal an old man.
”Seems like I came out of seclusion earlier than expected this time!”
This old man was dressed shabbily and had dark eyes like the night sky. He wrinkled his brow as he calculated and took out a jade pendant from his storage bag. He smiled. ”So it's the Thirty-Three-Level Outer Heaven Tower… Ah, Mount Mengyan's prestige used to be far above my sect, but unfortunately, now only this assessment mysterious realm remains…”
”Greetings to Elder Tai Xuan. Congratulations to Elder for coming out of your seclusion!”
It was not long before streams of light descended and turned into Immortals, who were all very respectful.
”Okay, rise everyone!” Elder Tai Xuan waved his hand casually. ”Did anything important happen while I was asleep?”
”Nothing serious, thanks to the might of the few elders!” replied the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect Master humbly. ”On the front of the Sixteen Countries, we have already reached a compromise with the barbarians. We jointly created the Combat Heavenly Palace in order to cope with the Demonic Tribulation twenty years later. The beginning shouldn't be too busy!”
”So it's at that time…” Elder Tai Xuan nodded. ”It's a little bit earlier than what I expected, but it's also fate… The Outer Heaven Tower of the Mount Mengyan Holy Land has come alive!”
”Mount Mengyan Holy Land? Outer Heaven Tower?”
The other Immortals looked blank. Only the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect Master's eyes brightened. ”Isn't that the primordial treasure specially used to assess Golden Core and Immortal cultivators? Wasn't it destroyed along with Mount Mengyan?”
”It wasn't destroyed. I saw the fall of Mount Mengyan. At the last moment, the Mount Mengyan Sect Master sent it out to wait for fate!”
Elder Tai Xuan shook the jade pendant in his hand. ”I took the opportunity to deploy some means. It will give me a sign as long as it opens. It seems like… it's in the direction of the Sixteen Countries! Send a few people out and bring it back!”
A primordial treasure was worth far more than an immortal artifact!
Even a cultivation Holy Land could not ignore it.
”Understood!” The Heavenly Circuit Sect Master answered respectfully. ”There's one more thing that I should report to Patriarch. It's also regarding the Sixteen Countries. A new monstrous talent has appeared recently, claiming to be the best godly thief in the world, Situ Zhaixing! He can ignore restrictions and obtain items through space! Even Immortals are helpless against him!”
”Oh?” Elder Tai Xuan's small eyes glowed immediately. ”This description sounds familiar… Do you have detailed information?”
”Naturally!” The Heavenly Circuit Sect Master passed a jade slip, which recorded the information of when Fang Yuan went up against the Immortals.
”This performance… It can't be wrong! It's the Illusion Realm's nomological laws!”
The demeanor of Elder Tai Xuan changed. First, he started mumbling to himself before the sharp Qi from his body condensed, seeming to have become a sharp sword. ”What Immortal disguise? Bullsh*t! He's at Golden Core! Hehe… A monster who comprehended peerless nomological laws. Even in the Holy Lands, how many thousands of years have passed since the last time?”
”Elder?” The Heavenly Circuit Sect Master could not help asking in concern after seeing Elder Tai Xuan's unstable mood.
”It's nothing! I'll make a personal trip to the Sixteen Countries and resolve the matter of this lad and the Outer Heaven Tower together!” Elder Tai Xuan said before turning into an illusory image.
”We see Elder off!”
The Heavenly Circuit Sect Master saw a streak of light flash by and could not help exhaling.
This world was enormous, very much so! There were many dangerous zones between the Sixteen Countries and the Great Sage Immortal World, and it would take over a year to cross even for Immortals.
Otherwise, they were not affable people, so why would they not have conquered it?
On the other hand, Grand Unity Almighties would only need a month to go back and forth.
…
Thirty-Three-Level Outer Heaven Tower.
Nineteenth level.
The Time Flying Blade chopped the immortal puppet's head right on target.
Fang Yuan rushed to the entrance of the twentieth level in excitement and directly blasted the seal with Saber Qi.
Bang!
The white light surged and trembled slightly, but it was still very strong nonetheless.
