One Month Later, a Delicate Situation

In a room at an inn in the eastern part of the Heavenly Cloud Dao Domain, Ye Jie, dressed in white and exuding a heroic aura, spoke in shock.

He even had reason to suspect that the sword strike that day was deliberately meant for him.

Their purpose was to lure him to their Azure Cloud Immortal Sect.

This statement, which they specifically released this time, makes it even more suspicious.

"Azure Cloud Immortal Sect? What kind of sect is that? I've never even heard of it in my previous life!"

"If they are not my enemies, why would they lure me there?"

After carefully recalling his enemies from his previous life, Ye Jie became even more puzzled.

"Never mind, if they want to harm me, I have plenty of ways to make them regret it."

Although all the evidence now suggests that the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect was trying to lure him there, he had no choice but to go for the sake of the remaining Five Tribulations Sword Body.

"You're Opening the Mountain to Accept Disciples in a month? Very well! Then I'll come and test my skills at the Azure Cloud Sect and see what your true purpose is."

As for his own safety, Ye Jie was confident that even if he didn't obtain the Five Tribulations Sword Body, he could still escape unscathed.

Don't forget that he was the supreme immortal emperor in his previous life, so how could he be without some tricks?

At the same time, most of the forces in the Heavenly Cloud Dao Domain and the Purple Feather Dao Domain had already held a major power conference regarding the Azure Cloud Mountain Opening Ceremony.

A small number of forces planned to remain on the sidelines, while most Lineage decided to send their most outstanding talents.

After all, if one could enter the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect, it would truly be a meteoric rise to the Azure Cloud Sect!

The same applies to some Rogue Cultivator.

Time flies, and there are only three days left until the opening date set by Feng Qingyang.

However, things seem to have changed somewhat. In short, the atmosphere in both Dao Domain has been strangely quiet lately.

Heavenly Azure Immortal Sea, at the gate of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect.

Little White and Black Emperor were pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Damn! Something's wrong, bro!"

"When our Azure Cloud Sect announced the opening of its sect to Opening the Mountain to Accept Disciples in the Barren Martial Realm, geniuses from all regions rushed over in advance like ants and locusts."

"Why is it different in the Immortal Realm, where there are more cultivators Immortal Realm?"

"Now, our Azure Cloud Sect is at the height of its fame and prestige in the Upper Heavens, if not unparalleled, right?"

The Black Emperor frowned as he looked at the mere hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the distance.

What? You think hundreds of thousands of people is a lot?

Please! Don't you even look where you are?

This is the vast and boundless Heavenly Universe Immortal Realm Upper Heavens!

The population of the two major Dao Domain of Heavenly Cloud Dao Domain and Purple Feather alone is more than 100 billion billion people!

Compared to that, are hundreds of thousands of people really that many? The mountain will open in three days, is it reasonable for only this many people to come?

"That's right, I also feel there's a big problem!"

"Damn, the sect leader wants the two of us to oversee the first two trials. Is someone targeting us?"

After making some guesses, Little White opened his wolf eyes and said...

Meanwhile, at the Azure Cloud Immortal Hall.

"Your Majesty, our men have investigated thoroughly."

"It was the Five Great Immortal Emperor Factions that were behind this."

"They joined forces to put pressure on all the major powers in the two major Dao Domain, and those major powers dared not disobey."

"Not only that, they also ordered the major powers to control their smaller powers and not allow them to participate in the Opening the Mountain to Accept Disciples for the Azure Cloud Sect."

"Many Rogue Cultivator have also heard the news, and they dare not make any rash moves."

"What's even more outrageous is that they also sent powerful experts to kill all the cultivators and prodigies who disobeyed orders."

Below the main hall, a man in Black Robe respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.

He raised his voice at the end, but he was actually deliberately suppressing his emotions, as it was inappropriate to show them in front of the sect leader.

The main problem is that this matter is just too infuriating!

After the Azure Cloud Sect came to the Upper Heavens, this was the first time Opening the Mountain to Accept Disciples and encountered such a thing.

Don't they realize the consequences of offending Azure Cloud Sect?

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang, seated in the main seat, slowly opened his cold, purple eyes.

He was expressionless, neither sad nor happy, and outsiders could not see through his feelings at all.

However, when faced with his sharp, cold purple eyes, even the Black Robe man, whose cultivation had reached the Immortal King Realm, couldn't help but feel intimidated and quickly lowered his head.

"The Five Great Immortal Emperor Factions, right? Very good."

"Since you want to play, then I'll play with you properly."

"I understand. You may leave."

"By the way, pass on the notice that the Opening the Mountain to Accept Disciples will proceed as scheduled in three days."

Feng Qingyang spoke authoritatively.

After all, this time, Opening the Mountain to Accept Disciples was only one of the purposes; there was a second, more important purpose.

The reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor, the threat posed by the five Immortal King-level forces is like that of clowns in his eyes.

[Ding! The Five Great Immortal Emperor Factions dare to target the Master's Azure Cloud Sect so blatantly. A side quest to destroy/subdue the Five Great Factions is now issued. Completion will yield a huge reward.]

[Note: The mission can be completed by either destroying or subjugating the enemy; the lord may decide based on his mood.]

"A mission has arrived? That would be even more fun."

The Purple Feather Dao Domain is a forbidden area within the Purple Cloud Immortal Sect.

Several terrifying figures took their seats.

"Won't doing this completely alienate the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect?"

"What a joke! So what if we're enemies? They were the ones who didn't take us seriously first. The immortal envoys we sent out couldn't even get into the Azure Cloud Sect's gate!"

"Very well, then let them see the consequences of offending our Five Great Factions."

A terrifying figure spoke coldly.

Within the two Dao Domain, the terror of the Five Great Immortal Emperor Factions has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds. Each of them possesses absolute dominance, not to mention the fact that they would unite to launch an attack.

Of course, they had other purposes for doing this.

That is to suppress the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect!

The Azure Cloud Immortal Sect's momentum is too rapid!

They worried that if things continued this way, Azure Cloud Sect would eventually dominate the two major Dao Domain, so they had no choice but to join forces and take action.

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Today, in the Heavenly Azure Immortal Sea, the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect is undoubtedly the focus of attention for countless cultivators in both Dao Domain.

The reason is that the renowned Azure Cloud Immortal Sect is Opening the Mountain to Accept Disciples today!

However, the situation remains delicate, with only a few million cultivators and prodigies waiting outside the gates of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect.

Countless cultivators and powerful forces who wanted to come but dared not do so dared not speak out against their anger.

Outside the magnificent gates of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect.

Little White, the Black Emperor, the Sect Protecting Divine Beast Tian Jiu, Outer Sect Elder Ye Bai —one person and three beasts—waited here.

"Elder Ye, it's almost time. You may make the announcement."

Little White looked up and saw the blazing sun overhead, so he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai, dressed in the robes of an Outer Sect Elder, nodded and then walked forward.

He faced the millions of cultivators and prodigies below the gate, subtly adjusting his aura, and spoke condescendingly:

"I am Ye Bai, Outer Sect Elder of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect."
