Immortal Embryo! Lying in Wait!

Novel:

Within Ascension Sect, inside a grand hall carved from a single block of white jade without the slightest trace of a seam, Ascension Sect Master Han Xi sat upon a white jade throne. Seated cross-legged below him were all the important figures of Ascension Sect.

"It seems this man intends to sever all ties with our Ascension Sect. He cannot be trusted at all!" An Ascension Sect elder in a purplish-red robe let out an enraged growl.

"There is no other way! Open the secret ground and retrieve the Immortal Embryo!" A nearly crazed expression appeared on the Ascension Sect Master's face.

"What? Sect Master, you intend to use the Ascension Immortal Embryo!"

The moment those words were spoken, every Ascension Sect cultivator in the hall turned pale in alarm.

"Sect Master, absolutely not! With your current cultivation, if you use this Immortal Embryo, you will instead be devoured by it!" An ancient Ascension Sect elder, so gaunt that he was little more than a skeleton, rose directly to his feet in terror.

"At this point, there is no other way. Given this man's temperament, once he returns to Cloud Spirit Continent, he will immediately come slaughter his way to our mountain gate. The person I invited cannot arrive in time."

"We can only use the Immortal Embryo! Even if I am devoured by it, I can at least retain part of my consciousness. The Immortal Embryo itself bears the spiritual imprint of our Ascension Sect's founder. If I am devoured, it will merely mean that our Ascension Sect has changed sect masters!"

"This happened entirely because of my miscalculation. I never expected that his cave abode would have accumulated such astonishing strength, leading Ascension Sect into this situation. I must bear the responsibility for it!"
