Chapter 156: The Sect's Treasured Artifact, the Grand Immortal's Divine Mirror
Chapter 156: The Sect's Treasured Artifact, the Grand Immortal's Divine Mirror (End of Chapter)
In the Black Veil Archipelago, the main island's council hall played host to twelve Tribulation Lords at the Heavenly Monarch stage and fifty-six Nascent Soul stage True Monarchs.
Even in the ever-shifting, tumultuous East Sea Archipelago, this gathering of cultivators represented a formidable force that couldn't be overlooked. Among the eight hundred side sects and three thousand unorthodox sects, their strength was sufficient to rank them within the top ten.
What made the Black Veil Archipelago even more formidable was its seamless integration into the East Sea Archipelago. Only the three most powerful Heavenly Monarchs among them knew that the archipelago was secretly controlled by Mo Meng Ting of the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect.
The eight hundred side sects and three thousand unorthodox sects within the East Sea Archipelago were constantly embroiled in internal strife. However, they were extremely xenophobic. If they discovered that there was a spy from the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect in their midst, even if they didn't dare to take action, they would instinctively cease their internal conflicts and unite against the perceived threat.
This went against the fundamental strategy of the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect regarding the East Sea Archipelago. For the sect, the ideal scenario was to have the sects in the archipelago constantly fighting amongst themselves. Unity among them would be no different from fostering the growth of the Demon Dao, Ghost Dao, and Devil Dao sects.
Mo Meng Ting's covert control of the Black Veil Archipelago, his efforts to stir chaos in the East Sea, and his collection of vast resources were all highly commendable strategies. Compared to the complex tasks of suppressing the Devil Dao in the north, the Ghost Dao in the south, and the Demon Dao in the west, Mo Meng Ting's manipulation of the Black Veil Archipelago was undoubtedly a lucrative and convenient assignment.
This was also the reason why the sect leader of the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect seemed to 'favor' Mo Meng Ting.
"After some more time, I'll make a trip to the Central Plains and report the harvest of the past hundred years," one of the Heavenly Monarchs sitting in the main seat of the council hall thought to himself.
He glanced at the many True Monarchs at the Nascent Soul stage below and the other Heavenly Monarchs seated beside him, about to speak, when his expression changed slightly.
At that moment, he felt the air around them turn scorching hot.
"Not good!"
Over ten Heavenly Monarchs had their faces drained of color as they instinctively soared into the sky, unleashing the unique aura of Tribulation Lords, an overwhelming pressure that made them seem like rulers over the mortal realm.
However, the next moment, despair crept onto their faces.
Because they saw a 'sun' descending upon the Black Veil Archipelago.
High above in the clouds, Lin Yuan retracted his right hand and glanced down at the Black Veil Archipelago, which had now turned into a sea of fire. Nascent Soul True Monarchs and Heavenly Monarchs' auras were erupting, only to be swiftly extinguished.
"The secret technique of the Ten Thousand Sun Lineage is indeed devastating," Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
The 'sun' he had just thrown down was a simplified version of the secret technique once used by the Ten Thousand Sun Holy Son, the 'Unity of Ten Thousand Suns'.
After facing off against the Ten Thousand Sun Holy Son twice, Lin Yuan had already comprehended most of his extraordinary techniques with his heaven-defying insight.
If he were in the Main World, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn't have used this secret technique associated with the Ten Thousand Sun Lineage so casually. It would have been too easy for other high-ranking evolvers to recognize it and cause a 'copyright' dispute.
In the Main World, the Human Alliance had a well-established legal system that protected various secret techniques and killer moves. If one used a technique from a lineage without being a disciple or having purchased the rights, it would be considered theft.
This was a violation in any star domain or star alliance. But when traversing the worlds, there was no need for such precautions.
Especially now that Lin Yuan was a Divine Soul clone, he had even less reason to be cautious.
"Black Veil Archipelago," Lin Yuan looked down, making sure that none had escaped.
There were two main reasons why he had decided to take action against this archipelago.
Firstly, it was to take revenge for himself and Jun Dong Jin. Jun Dong Jin possessed a mutated celestial spirit root, making his talent unparalleled among the younger generation of the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect. However, due to his identity, he could only endure Mo Meng Ting's provocations.
Now that Lin Yuan had a chance to strike back, he wouldn't let it pass.
Secondly, he wanted to spread the path of martial arts evolution in the East Sea Archipelago. Eventually, he would come into conflict with the Black Veil Archipelago, so it was better to eradicate them now rather than deal with their obstructions later.
"Hmm?"
"Gather!"
Lin Yuan gazed down at the burning Black Veil Archipelago and took a deep breath.
In an instant, a vast amount of pure spiritual energy surged towards him.
As one of the top forces in the East Sea Archipelago, the Black Veil Archipelago naturally possessed a plethora of treasures and resources. Many of these were collected by Mo Meng Ting and had not yet been handed over to the sect. They were stored in the island's treasury and the ring of the leading Heavenly Monarch.
Now that the archipelago had turned into a sea of flames, everything was incinerated, and the treasures and resources were refined into their purest spiritual essence by the sun's true fire, which Lin Yuan devoured.
"Quite a lot," Lin Yuan said with a smile after swallowing all the spiritual essence.
The spiritual essence he had just consumed was enough to propel a Heavenly Monarch in the early stages of the Tribulation Lord realm to the middle or even late stages.
In the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect, Mo Meng Ting stood up to report to the sect leader about his achievements over the years and how he had used the Black Veil Archipelago to stir chaos in the East Sea.
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.
"How is this possible?!"
Mo Meng Ting's face turned ugly, and he even showed a hint of fear.
He had sensed that the life tablets of the Tribulation Lords and Nascent Soul cultivators of the Black Veil Archipelago had shattered simultaneously.
What did this mean?
It meant that all the Tribulation Lords and Nascent Soul cultivators had perished, and their deaths had occurred almost at the same time.
Furthermore, it implied that the Black Veil Archipelago, which he had meticulously built up, no longer existed. If even the Tribulation Lords and Nascent Soul cultivators had fallen, what of the other disciples?
"What happened?"
The sect leader of the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect, seated in the main hall, spoke up.
"Sect Leader," Mo Meng Ting replied, not daring to hide the truth. "The Tribulation Lords and Nascent Souls of the Black Veil Archipelago have all perished just now."
"What?!"
The sect leader's eyes turned icy.
"Audacious!"
The sect leader stood up abruptly.
At the same time, above the sect leader's head, a 'mirror' emitting infinite light and infinite tribulations appeared.
Buzz! A beam of mirror light pierced through space and time, shooting out from the highest point of the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect and reaching the East Sea's Black Veil Archipelago in just a few moments.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan, who was 'savouring' his handiwork in the clouds, sensed the terrifying 'mirror light' piercing through from the direction of the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect, and his expression changed slightly as he looked up.
His figure quietly disappeared.
The next moment, the mirror light descended, transforming into a shadow.
Upon closer inspection, it resembled the sect leader of the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect.
The shadow gazed down at the Black Veil Archipelago, now a sea of fire, and swept the surroundings with cold eyes before coldly huffing and vanishing.
Hundreds of thousands of miles away, Lin Yuan's Divine Soul appeared.
"Is that the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect's treasured artifact, the Grand Immortal's Divine Mirror?"
Lin Yuan's expression turned slightly solemn as he thought to himself.
It had taken Lin Yuan half a month to travel from the Cloud Mist Blessed Land to the East Sea in his Divine Soul form.
However, the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect's sect leader, with the aid of the Grand Immortal's Divine Mirror, had arrived at the East Sea in just a few blinks of an eye. Was the sect leader just too powerful?
Of course not.
The sect leader was only at the Cavity Refinement stage, equivalent to the sixth-stage fourth- to ninth-segment level in the Main World.
There was no way he could have such terrifying speed.
It was all because of the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect's treasured artifact.
The Grand Immortal's Divine Mirror.
This divine artifact was infinitely powerful, and its light could reach any corner of the Central Plains.
"No wonder 120,000 years ago, when the three ancient saints of the Refinement Cavity level joined forces—the Blood Demon Lord from the north, the Ghost Cultivation King from the south, and the Wild Beast Sage from the east—they were still ruthlessly crushed by the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect."
Lin Yuan's thoughts churned.
"However, the one who descended earlier was probably not the sect leader's true body, but an incarnation of the Grand Immortal's Divine Mirror. And to cross such a vast distance must have also been a considerable consumption of energy."
Lin Yuan analyzed in his mind.
Righteous Dao Immortal Sect.
Inside the grand hall.
The sect leader, who had stood up, now had the divine mirror above his head slowly disappear.
The sect leader sat down again.
"Sect Leader?"
Mo Meng Ting couldn't help but ask.
At this moment, he was in great pain. The Black Veil Archipelago had been the result of his many years of hard work.
Those dozen Tribulation Lords at the Heavenly Monarch stage and the several dozen Nascent Soul stage True Monarchs were not only his subordinates whom he had cultivated for many years, but they were also unrelated to the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect. Their use in the East Sea Archipelago was irreplaceable.
The Righteous Dao Immortal Sect looked down on the East Sea Archipelago because it lacked resources and was not worth occupying.
But the lack of resources was relative to the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect. For an individual cultivator, if they could control even a small part of the East Sea Archipelago, the benefits would still be exceptionally remarkable.
Mo Meng Ting had a deep understanding of this point in recent years.
But now...
Everything was gone.
They didn't know how much they had invested to cultivate those dozen Tribulation Lords, and now it had all been in vain.
"He got away."
The sect leader shook his head slightly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was astonished.
Even Mo Meng Ting, who was in great pain, narrowed his eyes.
The sect leader had used the Grand Immortal's Divine Mirror, an artifact of infinite power, and yet the person who destroyed the Black Veil Archipelago had escaped?
"Look."
The sect leader's thoughts stirred slightly.
Vague images appeared in the grand hall.
Although he had not captured the culprit, he had 'retraced' part of the scene based on the residual aura left at the scene.
Everyone in the hall looked up at the images.
In the images, the sea of the Black Veil Archipelago was rippling.
The archipelago seemed peaceful.
Then, a figure appeared in the clouds. No one knew when it had gotten there.
The figure was hazy, and its appearance and shape could not be seen clearly, but it quietly overlooked the Black Veil Archipelago below.
As everyone watched.
The hazy figure in the clouds slowly reached out its right hand.
In an instant, the scene began to distort, and infinite fire-attribute energy gathered in the right hand of the hazy figure, forming a small sun composed of a large amount of true sun fire.
The brilliance and heat of the small sun were almost comparable to the great sun in the sky.
What happened next was even more chilling.
The person in the clouds casually threw the 'small sun' towards the Black Veil Archipelago.
The scene ended.
"What a terrifying fire-attribute technique."
The golden-maned, curly-haired elder couldn't help but exclaim.
To condense such a huge amount of true sun fire in just a single breath was not only due to the cultivator's strength but also their terrifying control over the power of the sun.
"When did such a powerful cultivator appear in the East Sea?"
The sect leader frowned and asked.
The hazy figure in the clouds had displayed strength equivalent to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and was even infinitely close to the Refinement Cavity level.
"Keep an eye on this person."
The sect leader spoke.
"Yes."
The people below responded in unison.
"Xiao Yao Zhilan, you two should stay in the sect for the time being and not go out."
Mu Lian'er glanced at Jun Xiao Yao and Jun Zhi Lan and transmitted her voice, "If you encounter this person, don't even think about resisting. Just use your lifesaving means and run away."
After Mu Lian'er finished speaking, she looked at Lin Yuan, who was sitting next to her and looked very well-behaved.
"You two should learn from Wuji. Don't think about going out all the time. It's too dangerous out there. Wuji is a good boy. He stays in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land all day and doesn't go anywhere."
Mu Lian'er looked at her youngest son with relief.
Although Jun Wuji had no spiritual roots, he was much more stable and didn't make her worry.
Half a month later.
The Cavity Refinement Grand Ceremony ended.
Lin Yuan returned to the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, seeing Jun Xiao Yao and Jun Zhi Lan off.
"Little brother, we're leaving now."
Jun Xiao Yao and Jun Zhi Lan bid farewell and quickly left.
Apparently, the appearance of a mysterious and powerful cultivator in the East Sea who specialized in fire-attribute techniques had attracted the attention of the Righteous Dao Immortal Sect, and they needed to go back and discuss how to deal with this powerful cultivator.
The Righteous Dao Immortal Sect was extremely domineering and would not allow the existence of any cultivator stronger than themselves.
A month later.
News came from the East Sea.
The White Jade Island was about to appear.
White Jade Island was a very special island, equivalent to a blessed land in the East Sea. It was filled with dense spiritual energy and was a cultivation holy land.
However, White Jade Island was not fixed in one place. Every 2,000 years, it would sink to the bottom of the sea.
The bottom of the sea was extremely dangerous, as ancient beasts and monsters from tens of thousands of years ago still lurked there.
So, every time White Jade Island sank, the cultivators on the island had to leave. Even Tribulation Lords at the Nascent Soul stage did not dare to sink with the island.
There was terrifying water pressure at the bottom of the sea, which would restrict even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator's strength. In addition, there were those ancient and unpredictable beasts and monsters.
Even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator would be intimidated.
And it had been 2,000 years since White Jade Island last sank to the bottom of the sea. Soon, it would reappear, carrying the dense spiritual energy it had accumulated over the past two millennia.
It was common knowledge that the East Sea lacked spiritual energy, and there were only a few dozen places suitable for cultivation, most of which were occupied by the eight hundred side sects and three thousand unorthodox sects.
Now that White Jade Island was about to reappear, countless East Sea cultivators were eager to secure a cultivation cave on the island.
Cloud Mist Blessed Land.
Inside the cultivation room.
Lin Yuan sat with his legs crossed, and the energy within his body was slowly changing, as if it were transforming little by little.
Finally.
As if reaching some kind of limit.
Lin Yuan's aura suddenly soared, and then he quickly suppressed it.
"Sixth stage."
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a smile on his face.
