Ziwei Loses Face
At this moment, in the sky above the Immortal Realm, the three factions of the Great Emperor Ziwei, the Azure Emperor, and the Heavenly Emperor stood side by side. Behind them were the experts from the Four Sects of the Immortal Realm, and at the very back were the forces of the third-level powers, as well as some insignificant forces. Most of them were minor figures, but for these minor figures, Immortal Beast were even more precious.
Of course they came! Those who already had Immortal Beast to acquire more, while those who didn't hope to join the Immortal Beast group and bring back an Immortal Beast – that would be a great deal! There were also quite a few people who were simply there to watch the show...
Although Ziwei had some grudges with the Azure Emperor and Heavenly Emperor back then because of Zhang Xingfeng's matter in Chenmeng City, she greeted him like an old friend at this moment.
"Yuanmu, your cultivation has become even more profound, especially with the addition of such a fine disciple. It's truly enviable! Look at my disciples, hmph, not a single one of them has the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor!" Ziwei said with a smile to Azure Emperor from afar.
When Azure Emperor heard others talking about his disciple, he was delighted and said, "Ziwei, you mustn't say that. As the saying goes, the master leads you through the door, but the cultivation depends on the individual. These things are the disciple's own business, so Ziwei, you don't need to be unhappy about it."
The Heavenly Emperor laughed loudly, "Yes, it seems like it's been a long time since the three of us have fought together. This time, almost all the forces of the Immortal Realm have been mobilized. It's truly a rare grand event for the Immortal Realm!"
The Four Sects of the Immortal Realm, who were slightly behind them, completely disregarded the three emperors of the Immortal Realm, and the four sect leaders chatted happily among themselves. Even when the disciples of the three emperors glared at them, they seemed oblivious.
"You little brat, what are you glaring at me for? Even Ziwei doesn't dare to interfere when I, your ancestor, am talking to Brother Lingyu. How dare you, little brat, interfere?" Old Ancestor Qimu suddenly roared.
"I am Yu Zhen, one of the Ten Radiance Immortal Lords of the Purple Cloud Realm, not some nobody. Although you are a senior, Ancestor, you cannot be so arrogant. The Qimu Sect's camp is over there, yet you drag Senior Lingyu into my Purple Cloud Realm's camp and keep making a ruckus. Isn't this looking down on my Purple Cloud Realm? Hmph, senior's power is indeed high, but you think you can kill this junior with a single shout? Haha, I guess that's not enough. After all, you are not as powerful as my master. If you think you can kill me with a single shout, then did I get my late-stage Immortal Monarch cultivation for nothing?" Yu Zhen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Upon hearing this, Old Ancestor Qimu flew into a rage and said, "You little brat, you dare to meddle in my affairs! If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll think I'm easy to bully!" With that, Old Ancestor Qimu flicked his sleeve, and three beams of light shot towards Yu Zhen Immortal Monarch.
Ziwei was very happy to hear Yu Zhen's words. He had disliked Old Ancestor Qimu for a long time, but Old Ancestor Qimu was a late-stage Immortal Emperor and not so easy to deal with. Now that he saw Old Ancestor Qimu actually attacking his beloved disciple, he was furious.
Suddenly, the Seven Star Robe on Ziwei's body flashed with light, and Ziwei released three beams of light, breaking the ancestor's killing move.
Ziwei immediately sneered at Yu Zhen, "Yu Zhen, Old Ancestor Qimu is a senior, how can you speak to him like that? Even if he is wrong, it is not your place to criticize him. Apologize to the ancestor!" Upon hearing this, Old Ancestor Qimu was secretly annoyed.
"What do you mean, even if there are mistakes, this is not to say that I am wrong, but that I am just bullying people because of my senior status!" Even if Old Ancestor Qimu was very angry, he could not say anything now. After all, Ziwei had already spoken to Yu Zhen Immortal Monarch. If he said anything more, it would make him seem too petty.
Upon hearing Ziwei's words, Yu Zhen understood immediately and bowed, saying, "Yu Zhen am young and have offended you, Ancestor. I hope you will forgive Yu Zhen!"
Upon hearing this, Old Ancestor Qimu. This Yu Zhen was truly cunning. Just moments ago, he had been arrogant towards him, but now he was claiming to be a junior and young. Although Yu Zhen had cultivated for tens of millions of years, he was indeed young compared to Old Ancestor Qimu.
"Qimu, do you think Yu Zhen wasn't sincere enough? Why don't you have any reaction at all, Qimu?" Ziwei seemed very puzzled.
Old Ancestor Qimu sneered at Ziwei. He knew how powerful Ziwei was. Ziwei's greatest strength lay in her Seven Star Robe, which amplified attack power tenfold—a top-tier auxiliary artifact. The advantage of an auxiliary artifact was that while the user could still wield an offensive artifact, they could still use one.
Ziwei roams the immortal realm, relying solely on this Seven Star Robe!
"Hmph, of course I, the ancestor, will not hold a grudge against a junior. But Ziwei, you must teach your disciples properly in the future, and don't always be so disrespectful!" Old Ancestor Qimu said with a stern face. At this time, the sect leaders of the other three immortal sects also came to Qimu's back to support him.
Although there are some minor conflicts among the Four Sects of the Immortal Realm, they stand completely united when facing the three emperors of the Immortal Realm. The combined strength of the experts from the Four Sects of the Immortal Realm.
However, the unity among the three emperors of the Immortal Realm is not as strong as that among the Four Sects of the Immortal Realm.
The only crucial point is that all three emperors of the Celestial Realm possess celestial armies, which is the fundamental reason for the unity of the Four Sects of the Immortal Realm. The Four Sects of the Immortal Realm have also considered establishing their own celestial armies, but whenever this idea even arises, the three emperors completely unite to deal with it. After all, the three emperors understand that celestial armies must never fall into the hands of the Four Sects of the Immortal Realm.
Ziwei, however, didn't care at all. She glanced at Qimu with a cold smile and said indifferently, "Thank you, but it's not your place to interrupt when I, Ziwei, am teaching my disciples!"
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere immediately became tense. The people from the third-level forces quickly moved far away. The affairs of the three emperors and Four Sects of the Immortal Realm were not something they could interfere with. If they did, the result of their interference would be the destruction of their sects!
Qi Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing within them. He then suppressed his anger, gave a cold snort, and returned to his own camp without saying anything more.
Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng from the Azure Emperor's camp glanced at Ziwei.
Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly, "Oh my, the Emperor is so majestic! I can feel the Emperor's kingly aura!" Zhang Xingfeng said, marveling, as if he could feel the Great Emperor Ziwei's King's Aura.
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Wasn't this clearly going against Ziwei?
Ziwei immediately turned her head, her eyes shooting towards Zhang Xingfeng with a light that seemed almost tangible. Zhang Xingfeng, however, remained unperturbed. "Alas, Your Majesty, your actions are far too dishonorable. A true king should display the demeanor of a king, resorting to such tangible attacks with your gaze. Unfortunately, I am not so easily defeated. Hmm... perhaps Your Majesty was joking with me. However, Your Majesty should remember this in the future, and never do such a thing again. After all, not every junior possesses my Immortal Undying Body!" A faint golden light emanated from Zhang Xingfeng's body.
"Immortal Undying Body!" some of the immortals around exclaimed.
At this moment, Ziwei was so angry that he was about to go crazy. However, he knew very well that Zhang Xingfeng was on the same side as the Azure Emperor and the Azure Emperor Heavenly Emperor, and he did not have the power to touch Zhang Xingfeng.
Old Ancestor Qimu's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Zhang Xingfeng with a smile, "Is this Zhang Xingfeng?"
Zhang Xingfeng immediately cupped his hands, behaving like a junior, and said, "This junior is indeed Zhang Xingfeng, greetings to the Ancestor!"
"Why are we being so polite? My disciples in the Cultivation World have long heard about you, Xingfeng. I've wanted to meet you for ages, and I never expected to run into you here. I'm truly overjoyed, so overjoyed!" As he spoke, he glanced at the gloomy-faced Ziwei, his mood becoming even more cheerful, and he repeated "so overjoyed!" several times.
The Bright Sun Sect smiled and said, "Xingfeng is indeed remarkable, his cultivation speed is astonishing. My disciple Gan Feng has told me about it several times, and now it's finally here. He truly lives up to his reputation. By the way, Xingfeng, once this matter is settled, you must come and have a good look around my Bright Sun Sect!"
Zhang Xingfeng immediately cupped his hands and said, "Senior has given the order, and this junior dares not disobey!" Upon hearing this, the Bright Sun Sect was overjoyed and laughed heartily.
Not to be outdone, the Lingyu Sect said, "The Tianxin Sect and my Lingyu Sect in the Cultivation World have had quite a few interactions. I've long been curious about this genius from the Tianxin Sect. Xingfeng, you must visit my Lingyu Sect when you have time!"
"Definitely, definitely!" Zhang Xingfeng replied with a smile.
The Longshi Sect laughed loudly, "Haha... it seems I'm the last one. Xingfeng, I invite you to my Longshi Sect. You won't refuse!"
Zhang Xingfeng immediately replied, "Of course I won't refuse. It's an honor for me to be invited by you, senior!"
For a moment, all the immortals from the surrounding third-tier and insignificant forces were extremely surprised by Zhang Xingfeng Four Sects of the Immortal Realm were formidable forces, and even the three emperors of the Four Sects of the Immortal Realm dared not offend them casually.
Furthermore, Zhang Xingfeng's initial appearance in the Azure Emperor camp indicates that Zhang Xingfeng also had a good relationship with the Azure Emperor.
Given his close relationship with the Four Sects of the Immortal Realm and the Azure Emperor, all the immortals were filled with questions about Zhang Xingfeng. However, they knew one thing: they could not afford to offend Zhang Xingfeng.
At this moment, the sect leader of the Maoyang Sect and others were greatly shocked. "Fortunately, we did not make a move that day. It seems that this Carefree Immortal Emperor is truly an extraordinary figure!" They still believe that Zhang Xingfeng is Immortal Emperor.
The sect leaders of the Four Sects of the Immortal Realm are all extraordinary figures, and they are aware of Zhang Xingfeng's forging of divine artifacts. They initially believed Zhang Xingfeng to be the disciple of the Fire God, but now Zhang Xingfeng even more sought after by the Four Sects of the Immortal Realm. Even disregarding whether Zhang Xingfeng is indeed the Fire God's disciple, his ability to forge divine artifacts alone is enough to entice them to court him!
All of this created a situation where Zhang Xingfeng felt completely at ease.
At this moment, almost all the factions were all smiling, except for Ziwei, whose face was gloomy!
Zhang Xingfeng sneered inwardly, "Hmph, Ziwei, you think you can fight me? Even if my skill is inferior to yours, I'm not someone you can afford to offend!" Zhang Xingfeng suddenly asked the Old Ancestor Qimu beside him, "Ancestor, I heard that all the Immortal Beast have strangely left for the Far East this time. Do you know what's going on?"
Old Ancestor Qimu was very concerned about Zhang Xingfeng, not only because Zhang Xingfeng had just stood up for him, but also because of Zhang Xingfeng's value.
"Everyone in the Immortal Realm is puzzled by this matter, otherwise everyone wouldn't have come. However, the Auspicious Beast in the Purple Cloud Realm is known as the King of Immortal Beast, the guardian Immortal Beast of the Purple Cloud Realm. The Auspicious Beast itself is incredibly powerful and has already taken human form, yet it still roams around the back mountains of the Purple Cloud Realm in its true form all day long. It is a fact that the Auspicious Beast is the king of the Immortal Realm, and it possesses the strength of Immortal Emperor, but this time, I never expected it, I never expected it..." Qi Mu deliberately sighed.
Ziwei, with his profound cultivation, immediately heard everything clearly and couldn't help but feel annoyed. Unfortunately, the tone of Old Ancestor Qimu's words expressed regret, so Ziwei had no reason to say anything.
Zhang Xingfeng exclaimed in surprise, "This Auspicious Beast is the symbol of the Purple Cloud Realm! How can it leave?"
Ziwei's face darkened further, and she gave Zhang Xingfeng a cold look.
Zhang Xingfeng smiled inwardly, but he also knew that this was about the limit of Ziwei's patience. So, with a smile on his face, Zhang Xingfeng flew towards the far east beside the sect masters of the Four Sects of the Immortal Realm!
The immortals moved quickly, and after about half a year, they finally arrived at the foot of a mountain range!
Flame!
Flames soaring into the sky!
"Blazing Heavenly Fire!" Almost all the immortals exclaimed. This mountain range was covered in Blazing Heavenly Fire. This was terrible. There weren't many immortals here who could withstand Blazing Heavenly Fire.
"That's not right. I was here last time, and it was just an ordinary mountain range. How did it turn into the Blazing Heavenly Fire Mountain Range?" A celestial from a third-level power said to the celestials around him.
"Yes, I've been here before. It used to be just an ordinary mountain range. When did it become the Blazing Heavenly Fire Mountain Range? If the Immortal Realm possesses the Blazing Heavenly Fire Mountain Range, how could this not be known to all the immortals?" another immortal said.
"Auspicious Beast! That's Auspicious Beast!" Suddenly a shout rang out, and the immortals realized that within the Blazing Heavenly Fire Mountains, an Auspicious Beast was peeking out from a cave entrance.
Ziwei's eyes lit up instantly, and in a flash, she rushed forward. Her Seven Star Robe emitted starlight, and her powerful immortal energy formed a protective shield that easily resisted the Blazing Heavenly Fire! The Auspicious Beast was the symbol of the Purple Cloud Realm, and Ziwei was determined to bring Auspicious Beast back to the Purple Cloud Realm no matter what. Ziwei immediately rushed into the cave.
One breath!
"Boom!"
Ziwei was blasted out of the cave like a beggar. Apart from her Seven Star Robe, which was still intact, her clothes were completely burned with holes. Ziwei's hair was also singed and her face was blackened. Only her private parts were exposed through the holes in her clothes!
There is something extremely terrifying inside the cave! This is the judgment of all the immortals, but looking at Ziwei's appearance and thinking about her past high and mighty status, they all realized that something was truly terrifying.
Immediately, all the immortals burst into laughter, and the Old Ancestor Qimu laughed even louder...
