Conjecture, or Perhaps Man-Made
"Sect Master, Old Long and several distinguished guests from the Night Sword Immortal Sect have been brought here."
After being informed, Ao Yuan led his group into the Azure Cloud Immortal Hall, bowing with a proud expression.
This was only the second time I had personally witnessed the sect leader's demeanor since joining the sect.
This was the first time I had personally handled matters for the clan leader. Although it was just a small task of being sent to guide people, such an opportunity was not something everyone had.
Upon entering, the group was immediately intimidated by the terrifying aura emanating from the figure seated in the main hall.
Dressed in simple black, his Dao Rhythm blended seamlessly with the heavens and earth, embodying the natural way of the Dao. Every gesture he made exuded the air of a divine ruler who controlled everything!
Especially when faced with his strange purple eyes, even the proud Old Long couldn't help but lower his head.
Mysterious and unpredictable, incredibly powerful and invincible! This was the consensus among them.
[Old Long, also known as Progenitor Dragon]
[Realm: Peak of the God Lord Realm (Quasi Immortal Emperor)]
[Peak Great Emperor in the Ancient Era of the Desolate Martial Continent, patriarch of the Northern Sea Dragon Clan, and the number one dragon in the Huangwu Martial World. After ascending from the Huangwu Martial World, he continuously grew stronger with his own talent and a great opportunity. He once single-handedly challenged the entire Ancient Demon Realm and sat on the throne of the Ancient Demon Heavenly Court. Later, he powerfully arrived in the Sky Beyond the Sky and became the Great Offering of the Murong Ancient Clan because of a single sentence.]
After they had witnessed Feng Qingyang's actions, Feng Qingyang was also observing them.
Needless to say, Ye Chen and his companions had already had a long talk with their "avatars" when they were in the Reflecting Moon Illusionary Realm.
The main thing is this Progenitor Dragon, wow, look at these amazing stats! This is truly where destiny lies!
Who could have imagined that a small Huangwu expert could reach such heights today, with many similarities to his own path to the Azure Cloud Sect?
But don't panic, with the system in hand, I have the world at my fingertips, even the mighty Progenitor Dragon would have to bow down.
"Okay, go down. After you go down, patrol carefully. The safety of the sect is of paramount importance and cannot be neglected in the slightest," Feng Qingyang waved his hand and instructed Ao Yuan.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Ao Yuan nodded heavily.
See that? The sect leader himself gave the instructions! My duties as the gatekeeper... ugh! Deputy gatekeeper captain are far too important!
Ao Yuan happily withdrew, and before leaving, he winked and gave a hint to Old Long beside him.
Upon seeing this, Old Long recalled what Ao Yuan had said on the way here, and his heart burned with excitement.
Ao Yuan: "Ahhh! Don't be so harsh on the Progenitor Dragon God Lord. It was my mistake. I misunderstood what you said."
"But Old Long, listen to me, this is a tremendous opportunity! Our sect leader is as majestic as the Face of the Heavens, a supreme ruler."
"He only slightly relaxed his cultivation and it attracted the Annihilation Sky Divine Tribulation! The sect leader has only unsealed a tiny bit of his cultivation, just the tip of the iceberg!"
Ao Yuan recalled what the Black Emperor had said, and became more and more excited as he spoke, "So as long as you, the Progenitor Dragon God Lord, join our Azure Cloud Sect, breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm will be a piece of cake."
After Ao Yuan stepped down, Feng Qingyang, who was in the main seat, spoke again, "I thank you all for coming from afar to support Azure Cloud Sect. Please be seated."
I never expected that the Night Sword Immortal Sect would come with its entire sect, even at the cost of offending the Murong Ancient Clan, and would bring out its backer, the Azure Dust Immortal Sect, to confront them.
It seems that Ye Chen's memories in the real timeline have also been restored.
After everyone was seated, Feng Qingyang spoke first, "Fellow Daoist Ye, it's been a long time."
When I first met Ye Chen, I was shocked by his identity: the Immortal Venerable of the Upper Heaven Dao. At that time, I wondered who had such great ability to seal an Immortal Venerable.
Oh right, I even did a divination for him back then, saying that his path wasn't here, and his sect's path wasn't in the Lower Heavens either.
The past events are still vivid in my mind, and time seems to have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Senior, it's been a long time."
Ye Chen, having regained his memories, was equally moved and rose to bow.
I still quite miss the path I took when I was ordered to descend to the mortal realm to find the Heavenly Mandate Immortal Sect.
"Senior, my true identity is actually Fallen Dao Immortal Venerable of the Upper Heavens and the master of the Night Sword Immortal Sect of the Upper Heavens."
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he saw that the figure in the main seat showed no surprise at all, and he was shocked: Could it be that the senior already knew his identity?
Hiss! This is terrifying to think about! I was probably seen through the moment Lower Heavens!
That makes sense. With the great abilities of a senior, they might even know what color underwear you're wearing today!
Thinking this, Ye Chen quickly added, "Senior, I had no choice but to seal my cultivation and memories and go down to the mortal realm."
"My clan has one..."
Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, Night Sword First Ancestor, who was standing next to him, secretly tugged at his sleeve.
Then Night Sword First Ancestor looked apologetically at the main seat, his gaze occasionally glancing to one side of the hall.
The matter concerning the Heavenly Mandate Immortal Sect is of utmost importance, and he cannot afford to be careless.
Feng Qingyang naturally understood what he meant, and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's alright, Old Long is no outsider."
"And you need not say more. I already know about the prophecy on the Sheepskin Heavenly Scroll."
Feng Qingyang gave a general account of what happened during his visit to the Night Sword Immortal Sect in the Reflecting Moon Illusionary Realm.
After listening, the members of the Night Sword Immortal Sect nodded in sudden understanding, and were also full of amazement.
This Reflecting Moon Illusionary Realm is truly wonderful!
Old Long, standing to one side of the main hall, frowned. The matter they were discussing was truly astonishing!
World destruction! What an immense calamity that would be! Even the cataclysmic upheavals at the end of an era couldn't accomplish that, could they?
And then there's the collapse of world rules and the collective regression of cultivation levels—it's terrifying...it scared the dragon!
However, its resolve hardened because of that person's heartwarming words.
"If that's the case, then do you have any guesses, senior?"
The Karma of the great calamity have already manifested in the Reflecting Moon Illusionary Realm: the invasion of People from Beyond the Realms, the collapse of the world's rules, and the regression of cultivation. What about the Karma in the real space-time?
The massive invasion of Extraterrestrial Sky Worms has already corresponded to Karma, but what about the collapse of the world's rules? What will the final calamity be? These questions remain unanswered.
The minds of the elders of the Night Sword Immortal Sect were racing.
However, now that the Heavenly Mandate Immortal Sect has found it, perhaps the final calamity will be easily resolved.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang tapped the main seat lightly with his finger and uttered words that made the people below change color. "I feel that this final calamity may be man-made."
The mastermind behind it should be the true form of that Wu Xin, Seeking Life Gate Old Ancestor Li Youchou.
"How can you be so sure, senior?" Ye Chen's expression shifted, his brows furrowing. "Could it be the Immortal Surveillance Pavilion?"
Within the Reflecting Moon Illusionary Realm, the actions of the Immortal Surveillance Pavilion have become known to the world: they temporarily rebelled against the Moon Immortal Palace, disobeying the orders of the Immortal Reflecting Moon Immortal Deity and frantically slaughtering all the cultivators who entered the Illusion Realm.
And judging from their leader's appearance, it was clear that he already knew they were in the Illusion Realm.
However, this matter did not cause much of a stir afterward.
In the name of Heaven, the Immortals are monitored. The cultivators who were slaughtered were all from the Upper Three Regions. Who would dare to go to the Sky Beyond the Sky to cause trouble for the Immortal Surveillance Pavilion?
