Chapter 389: The Mightiest Immortal Dynasty
Chapter 389: The Mightiest Immortal Dynasty
Midnight had descended, and the Subtle Spirit Palace, located deep within the ocean's depths, was enveloped in tranquility.
Gu An reclined in his chair, holding a book in one hand, while the sounds of the ocean's tides and the mysterious cries of mythical beasts echoed in his ears, creating a symphony that soothed his heart.
Time seemed to flow swiftly in this serene atmosphere.
Gu An put down his book, stood up, and stretched lazily. He gazed out beyond the Subtle Spirit Palace and spotted the Deep Sea Carp once again on its journey to find the palace.
The path ahead was free of powerful mythical beasts, so there shouldn't be any issues.
Gu An observed for a while and then left the Subtle Spirit Palace, returning to the Taixuan Sect.
The Wu Jue incident continued to be the most concerning matter within the Taixuan Sect. Numerous righteous individuals demanded that the sect thoroughly investigate the cause of the disciples' madness. If their claims were true, justice must be served for Wu Jue.
Even a genius like Wu Jue had been slandered, suppressed, and possibly even killed. How could the other disciples not be anxious?
T
Gu An used his divine sense to observe the shouting disciple while walking into the Third Medicine Valley.
A disciple had already brought news of this incident to the Medicine Valley, sparking discussions among the others.
The situation was becoming more and more turbulent!
Gu An was pleased with this development.
Perhaps the higher-ups were concerned about the impact on the Taixuan Sect, but Gu An wasn't afraid. He had deep feelings for the sect and didn't want it to become a private domain for a single family, especially one from an overseas new aristocratic family.
Wasn't this akin to a cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest? Now, it was up to the Taixuan Sect to handle the pressure from its disciples.
Gu An didn't join in the disciples' discussions; instead, he returned to his attic alone.
On the other side, in a dimly lit hall, Lu Baitian, Ji Hantian, and three other great cultivators sat around a long table, their faces grim.
These three great cultivators were from the Taixuan Sect's Venerable Hall, a position above the Elder Hall.
After so many years of development, although the Taixuan Sect's halls had been infiltrated by external forces, the Venerable Hall was still controlled by the original aristocratic families. This was their bottom line.
The Ancient Diviner took a deep breath and said, "This matter has escalated to the point where it can no longer be covered up. It's time to pressure the Sheng Family."
The aged Ji Hengshi stroked his beard and said, "We should indeed exert pressure, but the question is, how? Sheng Tianzong is already furious and even wants us to protect the Sheng Family's reputation."
The one who replaced Zhou Yu's position in the Venerable Hall was Lu Lie from the Lu Clan. He remained silent with a sullen expression.
Lu Baitian glared at Lu Lie for not speaking, his eyes filled with displeasure.
Ji Hantian had a fiery temper and couldn't hold back. He glared at the three Venerables and said, "Things have come to this point; there's no use in passing the buck. We're like grasshoppers on the same vine. If the Taixuan Sect doesn't take action, we'll be the first to suffer. If we don't suppress the Sheng Family, the other aristocratic families will surely trample us underfoot!"
His attitude was completely different from when he faced Gu An. Back then, he was only afraid that Gu An would be exposed to the Sheng Family.
"
Lu Baitian glared at him and said, "What's the matter? Do you think this trivial matter requires his attention? Have you forgotten his current identity? He's the Holy Court's Holy Sword, and even the Star Sea Congregation, a formidable force, is insignificant before him."
Lu Lie shook his head and said no more.
The Ancient Diviner pondered and said, "Investigate the Sheng Family thoroughly. This is a great opportunity. It's rare for the Sheng Family to make a mistake, and we can use this to suppress the arrogance of other overseas aristocratic families. Think carefully, how could those disciples have been driven mad by the Sheng Family? Even if it's true, the Sheng Family wouldn't let them go free."
"Wu Jue's talent is extraordinary, and he rose from humble beginnings. Throughout history, how many have been so fortunate? Those who rise from obscurity always have a powerful backer."
J
The Ancient Diviner replied, "It's not impossible. Think about it. The Taixuan Sect isn't some blessed land. Every peerless genius born there has had a connection to him. He doesn't meddle in the sect's trivial matters, but if it escalates to affect the overall atmosphere, he will surely intervene. These disciples who went mad for no apparent reason are the best proof."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, and the gloom on their faces gradually dissipated.
I
"Perhaps he is also observing our actions," the Ancient Diviner continued, leaving his sentence unfinished, but everyone understood his meaning.
Following his words, the others woke up as if from a dream, feeling chills down their spines.
Ji Hantian slammed his fist on the table and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now, and I'll take the lead!"
With that, he vanished from the room.
The others exchanged glances, and Ji Hengshi smiled bitterly, "I wonder when he'll ever change this temper of his."
"Change? Maybe in the next life. I'm going too."
Lu Baitian laughed and disappeared, following Ji Hantian.
The three Venerables did not linger for long and simultaneously vanished from their seats.
Half a clock later, a piece of news shook Taixuan Sect, as the Venerables issued an order to thoroughly investigate the Sheng Family and dispatched a large number of disciples to surround the Sheng Family's mansion. With this news, cheers erupted in various cities of Taixuan Sect.
Although the truth had yet to be verified, the Sheng Family's reputation had already been tarnished. This was because other disciples who had been oppressed by the Sheng Family were also speaking out, spreading word of their domineering actions.
As dusk approached, Gu An sensed the fighting aura coming from the sect's main city, but it soon dissipated. The one who had taken action was the Nine-Finger Divine Lord.
Lu Baitian personally invited the Nine-Finger Divine Lord, who already held the position of Elder and was unafraid of the Sheng Family.
The reason the Nine-Finger Divine Lord took action was that he was moved by Lu Baitian's words, who said that the Dao Support Sword Zun was secretly watching this farce.
Gu An didn't mind the Venerables using him as a scapegoat, as it was the truth, and not giving them some backbone to forcefully deal with the Sheng Family would indeed be a difficult task.
Gu An wanted their attitude!
This night was destined to be restless.
When the next day's sunlight shone across Taixuan Sect, numerous legends had already spread among the common folk.
Two days later, Taixuan Sect posted a notice, explaining the cause and effect of the Wu Jue case, clearing Wu Jue's name, and also informing the disciples that the Sheng Family was also unaware of the truth, making it a misunderstanding.
Although many disciples were dissatisfied, wanting to directly topple the Sheng Family, Taixuan Sect would not abandon a powerful family over this matter, especially since the deceased in this case was a genius of the Sheng Family.
Wu Jue, after being cleared, sought out Gu An to express his gratitude for his efforts.
"Me? It has nothing to do with me. I spoke up for you, and I was scolded by the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master," Gu An shook his head and poured tea for Wu Jue.
Wu Jue smiled and said, "They scolded you just to prevent you from getting into trouble. They probably want to stabilize you first and then gather evidence."
He believed that the reason those disciples went crazy was because of Lu Baitian and the others' doing, but they dared not directly say it was the Dao Support Sword Zun's intention. Faced with numerous speculations, they neither denied nor confirmed.
Gu An humphed, "Who knows what they're thinking, but if you can clear your name, then I'll be happy. Today, we'll drink all day and night, and you better not run away!"
Wu Jue laughed, "With my cultivation, do you think you can drink me under the table?"
After this tribulation, he had seen through many people and matters. He didn't hold grudges but swore to become stronger and also repay Gu An.
A powerful family?
If that's the case, I'll become one too! Wu Jue held the wine bowl, looking at Gu An's smiling face, and thought to himself.
He also wanted to become Gu An's backer to repay him! Gu An didn't know what he was thinking, but whatever it was, Gu An didn't care.
The Sheng Family's matter was insignificant in his eyes. Helping Wu Jue had many approaches, and choosing this method merely added a bit of fun and anticipation to life.
Gu An turned his gaze towards the window, and outside, a strong wind blew, as if the world was about to be engulfed in a storm.
This minor incident in Taixuan Sect was insignificant compared to the grand scheme of the world.
The Immortal Dynasty was about to make a new move!
Recently, Gu An had sensed the return of many Immortal Dynasty immortals above the Fifth Level Immortal Dao to the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
Although the Holy Court had not welcomed a large number of powerful cultivators, looking across the world, they were strengthening their deployments in various domains.
Apparently, that battle competition had not brought lasting peace but had shown the Immortal Dynasty a greater hope.
...
The night sky was adorned with dazzling stars, and on a colossal palace without a roof.
The Yang Immortal Emperor meditated under a golden sphere of light, his eyes closed as he continuously cast spells with his hands.
A figure appeared in the grand hall, none other than the Ancient Immortal Emperor.
The Ancient Immortal Emperor looked at the Yang Immortal Emperor with a slight frown and asked, "Are you really going to forcefully break through? With your talent, you will surely surpass me. Why not have some patience?"
The Yang Immortal Emperor, without opening his eyes, replied, "It's not that I lack patience, but the Holy Heaven is not giving me a chance. If he successfully passes the tribulation, the Immortal Dynasty will undoubtedly cease to exist. His talent, as you know, is beyond the realm you cannot transcend. It's just a matter of when he will reach it."
The Ancient Immortal Emperor said, "The Reincarnation Tribulation is not that simple."
"Then are you going to sacrifice the Immortal Dynasty on the chance that he fails, or that it will take him a million years? Or even a million years?"
The Yang Immortal Emperor's counter-question silenced the Ancient Immortal Emperor.
The Yang Immortal Emperor then opened his eyes and looked towards the distant universe, saying, "Moreover, the Yuan Xu Immortal Ancestor did not open the Reincarnation for no reason. What follows is the most powerful phase of the Immortal Dynasty in history, where the strongest cultivators will return to fight alongside me."
His face showed an excited smile, eager to wage war against the Holy Court.
The Ancient Immortal Emperor stared at him and said, "Then how do you plan to break through? Don't assume the Holy Court is arrogant enough to let you break through. If the Holy Ancestor doesn't make a move, I certainly won't either, or the situation will become even more uncontrollable."
The Yang Immortal Emperor shook his head, "You need not worry. I have my own plan. I even hope they come to stop me from transcending the tribulation, giving me a legitimate reason to take the initiative."
