Amid a range of mountains wreathed in ethereal immortal mist lay the Returning Unity Sect.
Inside the Flowing Light Great Hall at its very center, the Sect Leader of the Returning Unity Sect, clad in magnificent robes, wore a gloomy expression.
"Bastards! This is simply intolerable bullying!"
Just then.
A furious roar erupted from the Returning Unity Sect's Sect Leader.
It was as though a vast, world-destroying might had descended upon this small world.
The heavens churned, and the stars threatened to fall.
A terrifying, apocalyptic aura swept out of the great hall.
The many elders gathered around him hardly dared breathe. They all knew their Sect Leader was furious!
The Returning Unity Sect's Sect Leader trembled all over, his face crimson, his eyes all but spitting flames.
Only after a long while did his rage gradually subside.
The Returning Unity Sect's Sect Leader drew a deep breath and looked grimly at the many elders in the hall. "Everyone, what should we do about this?"
As his words fell, an old man stepped out of the crowd, his face furious. "It was our Returning Unity Sect's deacon who died, yet they actually demand that we offer gifts and apologize! This is simply intolerable bullying!"
"If they want to launch an Immortal War, then let us fight!"
"Exactly! Our Returning Unity Sect is a top-tier power, after all. Does the Returning Origin Holy Land think our sect has no one capable of standing up to them?!"
"Please give the order, Sect Leader. I am willing to lead our sect's elites into battle immediately!"
"..."
More and more people reacted, their blood surging backward with rage.
They had killed their sect's deacon, only to turn around and demand gifts and an apology. Did they take them for soft persimmons to squeeze?
Suddenly, a thunderous voice rang out from the horizon. "After cultivating in the Returning Unity Sect for so many years, have you only grown more muddleheaded?!"
The voice stunned everyone. It was their Returning Unity Sect's ancestor. They had never expected this matter to alarm even him!
A weathered old man approached from the horizon, the aura surrounding him terrifying beyond compare.
Entering the great hall, the old man merely swept an indifferent glance over everyone. "The Returning Origin Holy Land was the only power to survive that cataclysmic war."
"The time our Returning Unity Sect has existed amounts to barely a fraction of theirs."
"To launch this war over a single insignificant deacon-you truly are full of hot-blooded vigor!"
Looking at the silent members of the Returning Unity Sect, the old man continued, "Besides, matters among the younger generation should be settled by them. Could our Returning Unity Sect's Young Sect Master, Li Han, possibly be inferior to their Divine Son?"
"Once Li Han masters and assimilates the Dao Breaking Holy Flame, his strength could even make him the foremost of the younger generation!"
"When that time comes, it will not be too late to settle accounts with them slowly!"
As he spoke, killing intent surged in the ancestor's eyes. "When Heaven wishes someone to perish, it first drives them mad! When the time comes, the Returning Origin Holy Land will repay its blood debt in blood!"
News had already spread that Su Changge had slain the Returning Unity Sect's Venerable Realm deacon with his Sealed Emperor Realm cultivation.
For a time, the entire North Abyss Dao Domain shook.
The further one progressed in cultivation, the greater the gap between realms became, and the greater the disparity in strength.
To slay someone in the late-stage Venerable Realm while only in the early-stage Sealed Emperor Realm-one could imagine what a monstrous prodigy it would take to accomplish such a thing!
What shocked them most was the Returning Origin Holy Land's forceful stance!
If the Returning Unity Sect did not offer gifts and apologize, there would be an Immortal War!
This swept through the entire North Abyss Dao Domain like a magnitude-eight earthquake.
"He's too strong! Just how heaven-defying is the Returning Origin Holy Land's Divine Son's talent?"
"He was only in the Spirit Sea Realm a short while ago, yet now he's powerful enough to slay a Venerable Realm cultivator! The Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo physique truly is terrifying!"
"Besides, it was the Returning Unity Sect's older generation that interfered in a dispute among the younger generation. Isn't that beneath the dignity of a great sect?"
"It seems the Returning Origin Holy Land's Divine Son holds a truly extraordinary position! They're even willing to launch an Immortal War!"
"Yes! An Immortal War is a War of Annihilation! The Returning Origin Holy Land really is incomparably domineering this time!"
"..."
Yet less than half a day later.
Word came that the Returning Unity Sect had sent several elders bearing lavish gifts to the Returning Origin Holy Land to apologize in person.
For a time, there was no one who did not know of the Returning Origin Holy Land's Divine Son.
The name Su Changge instantly became the focus of countless people's attention.
"I really underestimated you."
"But the stronger you are, the more fun it will be to defeat you."
Inside a divine hall of the Great Qin Ancient Dynasty.
Qin Taiyi sat upright on a meditation cushion, his dense aura even taking tangible form. Draconic might permeated the air, and the void behind him twisted.
The Azure Cloud Sect.
A slender, graceful woman in a white dress, her face covered by a thin veil, was reading information about Su Changge.
The Returning Origin Holy Land had kept its secrets well. All she knew about was his Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo and this latest incident.
"Why has such a powerful prodigy only become known now?"
"Perhaps this Su Changge's talent is even more terrifying than the world imagines."
Inside Flower Thousand Valley.
A group of voluptuous women in revealing clothes played in a pool, their fair, jade-like feet bare. The splashing waves in the pool fell far short of the surging waves before their chests.
Every frown and movement displayed boundless allure.
"Sister, what a pity. Our Flower Thousand Valley could have had an unprecedented little junior brother~"
"Yes, I heard that Divine Son is incomparably handsome, too. What a shame we never got to ride him..."
"Why don't we sisters go kidnap him?"
"I agree! But I want to ride him first~"
A Suspended Divine Mountain in the Luo River Sword Sect resembled an inverted sword.
This was the famous Luo River Sword Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, a young man, sweating like rain and wearing a pained expression, swung his sword at the air.
"Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine!"
"One hundred thousand!"
"Master, I've finished swinging my sword one hundred thousand times!"
Limitless Pride Heaven looked excited. He had finally endured this painful day!
The Heaven Splitting Sword Venerable kept a stern face, his expression full of disdain. "Hmph! You think you're done, and you're happy about it, are you?"
"Su Changge slew a Venerable Realm cultivator with his sword. You swing yours one hundred thousand times every day, yet I haven't seen you slay a Venerable Realm cultivator with a single strike."
"If anyone saw you, they would think our Luo River Sword Sect had no capable youths! Keep swinging that sword! Another one hundred thousand times!"
As the Heaven Splitting Sword Venerable's words fell, Limitless Pride Heaven wanted to die!
His sorrow made him heave a long sigh. "Life is always full of such soaring highs and plunging lows!"
He had been sitting at home, only for disaster to fall from the sky!
