What is it?
Han Xuanji had sensed Xuanweizi's presence long ago.
Although he focused most of his attention on the Immortal Abode Space, he was still fully aware of the situation outside. He knew that unless something major happened, Xuanweizi would not have come to disturb him.
"Come in."
Before the words were finished, the palace doors opened.
Xuanweizi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Since moving into the Devil-Slaying Hall, Han Xuanji has set up a new array. Although he is not clear about the power of this array, he often feels a threat to his life whenever he gets close to it.
Xuanweizi hurriedly entered the hall, and the moment he saw Han Xuanji, he instantly revealed a chrysanthemum-like smile, completely losing his usual dignified demeanor as the sect leader.
" Devil-Slaying Grand Elder, you are unaware of the true extent of the dangers posed by the Divine Fire Church and the Heaven-Severing Alliance!"
Upon meeting, Xuanweizi immediately began to pour out his grievances, speaking rapidly.
He then briefly recounted what Peng Yan had said.
"Is the Heaven-Severing Alliance very strong?"
After listening, Han Xuanji asked in a calm tone.
"It is said to be a powerful force overseen by eight Tribulation Transcendence experts, with a million disciples. It is a renowned and powerful force overseas, occupying tens of thousands of islands of varying sizes."
Xuanweizi answered cautiously, paused, and added:
"I asked Supreme Elder Tianyu, and he confirmed that the news is true."
Moreover, among those eight Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts was a Late Tribulation Transcendence Transcending Realm powerhouse, who was also the leader of the Heaven-Severing Alliance. His identity and background were mysterious, suggesting he came from an extraordinary family.
At this point, Xuanweizi couldn't help but sigh.
Even during the most prosperous period in the history of the Divine Profound Sect, it never had eight Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts sitting in charge at the same time.
The sect had finally welcomed a peerless genius like the Devil-Slaying Sword Venerable, who had emerged out of nowhere. They thought they could develop steadily, rebuild their glory, and even go further.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and the situation in the world changed drastically.
They thought that by eliminating the Heavenly Devil Cult Sect, a major threat, the Divine Profound Sect could rest easy. Who could have foreseen that it would inexplicably attract the covetous eyes of the Great Ming Dynasty's cultivation Immortal Realm and behemoths overseas?
Xuanweizi felt powerless.
He had originally hoped to leave a significant mark on the sect's history, but now he might very well bear the infamy of causing the sect's downfall.
Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji gently shook his head and asked:
Is there Immortal Ascension Realm?
Han Xuanji only cared about this one thing.
"No, even in the overseas cultivation Immortal Realm, those who have Immortal Ascension are extremely rare. Only those ancient immortal sects with extraordinary lineages have special methods that seem to allow those who Immortal Ascension to remain in the lower realm for a long time. There are even rumors that there are immortals living in the world among them."
Xuanweizi quickly gave his reply.
Hearing this, Han Xuanji nodded slightly:
"I see."
As he expected, this world was indeed full of hidden talents; these ancient immortal sects had powerful figures above them, and powerful figures below them as well.
If there truly were a living immortal, a Earth Immortal or even stronger, he didn't know if he could defeat them.
But it's just a mere Tribulation Transcendence Realm...
Han Xuanji was not taken seriously.
Xuanweizi asked cautiously:
What do you mean?
"Let them come. I want to see how many people they can muster."
Han Xuanji spoke calmly, but with an air of confidence.
His imagined enemies have always been those old monsters Immortal Ascension Realm, and even the Earth Immortal of hidden sects.
What are a few Tribulation Transcendence Realm compared to that?
Bring it on, I want to take on ten!
Coincidentally, Han Xuanji has already mastered the nine immortal swords perfectly, and then, based on many sword techniques, created a powerful killing move. Perhaps he can use them to test his skills.
Upon hearing this, Xuanweizi brightened with joy.
He knew that Han Xuanji was no ordinary person who talked big; if he was so confident, he was probably very likely to succeed.
"If that Late Tribulation Transcendence old monster from the other side were to come, could you handle him?"
Xuanweizi asked tentatively.
Han Xuanji thought for a moment and replied:
" Late Tribulation Transcendence?"
"No problem."
Um.
He silently added in his mind, "Probably one move and the opponent will die nine times over."
"By the way, given how arrogant they are, I doubt they'll hide their actions. Let me know when they're almost ready."
Han Xuanji said calmly.
He didn't want to take action repeatedly; that would be too troublesome.
It's easier to deal with them all at once once they've mostly gathered.
Just like in a game, you need to pull the monsters before unleashing your ultimate skill; efficiency is paramount.
"Yes!"
Xuanweizi was greatly encouraged and strode out of the Devil-Slaying Hall.
As soon as Xuanweizi stepped out of the Devil-Slaying Hall, he felt a million times lighter.
The once heavy steps now felt light.
After Xuanweizi left, Han Xuanji re-entered the Immortal Abode Space.
"A mere few at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm dare to come and die?"
Han Xuanji had no time to pay attention to outside affairs; his mind was always focused on cultivation and signing in. Now that the world had changed so much, seizing the time to improve his strength was the only way forward.
Although he felt very confident, every little bit of improvement was welcome.
Perhaps this so-called Heaven-Severing Alliance has hidden strength?
He needs to be more cautious.
With this in mind, Han Xuanji focused his attention on the System Space, organizing the treasures he had collected from signing in over the years.
He's been signing up for the Azure Dragon Hall for over ten years now, and I have to say, this place is truly full of treasures.
Not only do they have various Immortal Artifact Law Treasure, but they also have some life-saving elixirs and powerful disposable items.
These are things that might come in handy at crucial moments.
However, among the many treasures, there was one box that Han Xuanji set aside separately.
There are one hundred Immortal Spirit Stone inside.
This thing is far more precious than top-grade Spirit Stone. It contains immortal energy and is the currency used exclusively in the upper realm, as well as the most basic item for cultivation.
In the Spirit Realm, Immortal Spirit Stone are extremely rare, and can only be produced in some special places.
He asked True Person Tianyu, who had never even seen him, only heard of him in the sect's records.
Overseas, these things are basically only stocked by powerful forces with established doctrines in the upper realms.
With this item, Immortal Ascension can quickly improve their cultivation level and increase their chances of successfully passing the Immortal Ascension Tribulation. It is also an essential item for crafting Immortal Artifact.
Han Xuanji planned to save these one hundred Immortal Spirit Stone and use them when he reached the Immortal Ascension Realm.
Inside a magnificent palace, dozens of powerful cultivators were seated.
The head of the group was the patriarch of the Divine Fire Church, True Person Chilian. He was tall and robust, wearing Divine Fire Molten Gold Robe, with an unhealthy dark red complexion and a hint of ruthlessness between his brows.
Beside him sat four powerful figures with auras as deep as abyss, three men and one woman.
The True Person Chilian surveyed the powerful cultivators from various sects and factions of the Great Ming Dynasty within the hall, and introduced them in a loud and clear voice:
"Everyone, these are the True Person Tianwen, Venerable Wanchong, True Person Fuhai, and Fairy Miaoyin from the Heaven-Severing Alliance..."
Among these people, the strongest was True Person Fuhai, who possessed the strength of the Fifth Layer of Tribulation Transcendence Transcending Realm. He was a middle-aged man with a square face and an elegant demeanor.
True Person Tianwen appeared to be an old man, with his eyes closed, looking calm and composed.
The Venerable Wanchong was thin and hunched over, and wore a strange mask on his face. No one present dared to look at him more than once.
The last one, Fairy Miaoyin, was a graceful and beautiful woman, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with skin as white as snow and eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting. Although she looked delicate and frail, no one present dared to underestimate her.
After the introductions, True Person Chilian's voice turned cold, radiating a confident air of complete control. "The four Venerables are all Tribulation Transcendence Grand Cultivators of the Heaven-Severing Alliance. Their arrival in our Nine Provinces Continent is precisely to assist our Great Ming in eradicating the arrogant and ignorant Divine Profound Sect in one fell swoop!"
"There are currently two Tribulation Bandit Cultivator in the Divine Profound Sect. Among them, True Person Tianyu has just entered the Middle Tribulation Transcendence, while Devil-Slaying Sword Venerable, although he has just entered the Tribulation Transcendence, has extremely strong Sword Dao and possesses strength far exceeding that of the Early Tribulation Transcendence."
As for the other patriarchs of the Divine Profound Sect, they have been blocked by the powerful figures of the Heaven-Severing Alliance. They are facing their own troubles and it will be impossible for them to return to the Nine Provinces Continent in the short term.
The words of the True Person Chilian immediately surprised and delighted everyone present.
These cultivators were all high-ranking cultivators from various sects and factions of the Great Ming Dynasty. They came here at the invitation of the Divine Fire Church.
Knowing that the Divine Fire Church was so well-prepared, they couldn't help but feel relieved.
Immediately, someone stood up excitedly and loudly flattered:
"It is indeed the Ancestor Chilian who has the best strategy and planning!"
With you and the Venerable Ones of the Heaven-Severing Alliance here, wouldn't it be as easy as turning one's hand and capturing that little Divine Profound Sect?
"Exactly! Exactly!"
A chorus of agreement immediately erupted inside the hall.
" The Heaven-Severing Alliance truly lives up to its reputation as an overseas overlord; its foundation is unfathomable, easily managing to summon four Venerables."
In an instant.
The crowd's praises were endless.
