Chapter 1483: Source of the Mutation, Turmoil Arises (Part 2) Chapter 1483: Source of the Mutation, Turmoil Arises (Part 2) Editor: Henyee Translations The gathered Earth Immortals could only agree on one thing: these events were not the result of any individual faction or coordinated effort.
No power in the Immortal Realm could simultaneously and covertly affect so many sects.
“Indeed.
While most sects have been impacted, there are still exceptions,” one Earth Immortal commented.
“However, those unaffected lack the means to carry out such a widespread and undetectable disruption.” As discussions continued, the Earth Immortals tried once more to identify the cause.
Then, one elder spoke cautiously, his tone heavy with implication.
“What ifaEUR it's the work of forces outside Zhongzhou?
Perhaps the Western Continent?” The moment the words left his mouth, the atmosphere turned icy.
The mere mention of the Western Continent brought a palpable tension to the room.
The Western Continent had become a taboo topic in the Xuanming Immortal Realm.
Since Jiang Chengxuan's decisive intervention against the Starwhirl Immortal Sect, the rise of the Western Continent had been both awe-inspiring and deeply unsettling.
Although the Western Continent had refrained from interfering in Zhongzhou's affairs for many years, its stability and growth had been impossible to ignore.
Refugees and cultivators fleeing the chaos of Zhongzhou had steadily flocked to the Western Continent, further bolstering its power.
The sects of Zhongzhou had chosen to turn a blind eye, knowing they lacked the strength to confront the united forces of the Western Continent.
Jiang Chengxuan's overwhelming might and the continent's solidarity made any intervention a fool's errand.
“It's not impossible,” one elder murmured, his words stirring the gathered Earth Immortals.
“The Western Continent has been far too quiet.
Perhaps this silence is a calculated move.” Another elder, Star Desolation Immortal of the Starwhirl Immortal Sect, nodded grimly.
His sect had suffered severe losses during its conflict with Jiang Chengxuan, leaving him particularly wary of the Western Continent.
“We should send envoys to investigate,” he said.
“If similar phenomena have affected their sacred grounds, we may glean some insight.
If not, it will confirm our suspicions.” The Earth Immortals deliberated for a time, ultimately reaching an agreement.
“Very well,” one said, “each sect shall dispatch agents to the Western Continent to investigate discreetly.
Should any findings arise, we will reconvene to discuss the next steps.” Thus, the secret meeting concluded, and preparations for an undercover operation against the Western Continent began immediately.
Each sect mobilized its intelligence networks, deploying spies and operatives under various guises to infiltrate the Western Continent and gather information.
Their primary objective was to determine whether the Western Continent's sects had suffered similar anomalies.
However, the Earth Immortals were unaware that the true cause of Zhongzhou's sacred ground collapses was Jiang Chengxuan himself.
His breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal stage required the capture of heaven's fate and earth's fortune.
Zhongzhou, the most prosperous region of the Xuanming Immortal Realm, naturally bore the brunt of this upheaval.
The anomalies manifested first in its sacred grounds, where the disruption was most evident.
This phenomenon, driven by celestial will, was beyond the understanding of the Earth ImmortalsaEUR”and even Jiang Chengxuan himself.
The Western Continent, deeply tied to Jiang Chengxuan's fate, was unaffected by these events.
Its sects remained stable, shielded from the celestial disruptions.
As the Earth Immortals deployed their agents, Jiang Chengxuan's breakthrough reached its final stages within the ancient battlefield.
The Stabilizing Heaven and Earth Array radiated brilliance, nearly overwhelmed by the magnitude of Jiang Chengxuan's Blessed Land.
His realm had grown beyond its previous boundaries, reshaping the battlefield itself.
The energies of the Five Elements Immortal Essence and the Phantom Transforming Heavenly Stone had been fully absorbed, merging seamlessly into the embryonic Heavenly Immortal domain.
The laws of the Blessed Land and the domain interwove harmoniously, creating a scene of serene grandeur.
Nine-colored light danced between the domain and the Blessed Land.
Mountain ranges, rivers, and celestial beasts flourished wildly, transforming the Blessed Land into a sacred realm of unparalleled vitality.
The primal energy within the domain had begun its metamorphosis into Heavenly Origin Energy, a pale and untainted force far surpassing primal energy in power and purity.
Jiang Chengxuan's breakthrough was now merely a matter of time.
Decades passed in the blink of an eye.
Another century slipped by, and Jiang Chengxuan remained immersed in his cultivation, wholly dedicated to refining his domain.
Meanwhile, the agents of Zhongzhou's sects continued their covert operations.
Their infiltration into the Western Continent proceeded slowly, hindered by the continent's natural defenses and the secrecy of its sects.
Despite their efforts, no signs of sacred ground collapses were found.
Once more, the Earth Immortals convened in the same grand hall.
Twelve figures sat around the table, their expressions grim and determined.
By now, the anomalies in their own sects had worsened significantly.
The sacred ground collapses showed no signs of abating, intensifying the urgency of their deliberations.
Ming Feng Immortal, the host of the gathering, wasted no time.
“Fellow Daoists, I believe you have all received the latest reports.” The others exchanged glances before one elder spoke.
“The Western Continent shows no signs of collapse.
Their sects remain intact.” This revelation confirmed their suspicions.
The Western Continent's immunity to the anomalies made it the prime suspect behind the mysterious events plaguing Zhongzhou.
“It must be their doing!” one elder growled, his voice filled with anger.
“The Western Continent has gone too far this time!” Star Desolation Immortal, his resentment toward Jiang Chengxuan still festering, slammed the table.
“Their arrogance knows no bounds!
We must act swiftly to put them in their place.” The room erupted in heated discussion.
Even those without personal grievances against the Western Continent agreed that action was necessary.
The sacred ground collapses threatened the foundation of their sects, and they could not afford to wait any longer.
“Calm yourselves,” Ming Feng Immortal said, his voice cutting through the chaos.
“If the Western Continent is indeed behind this, we must proceed carefully.
Our priority is understanding the cause and halting the damage.” One elder sneered.
“Enough talk!
The Western Continent has already crossed the line.
We must strike now, or risk losing everything.” Another nodded in agreement.
“Indeed.
We can't let this continue.
Our sects are already at their limits.” “Very well,” Ming Feng Immortal said after a pause.
“If we are to act, we must begin strategically.
Where do you propose we strike first?” “Let's start with the Rogue Alliance,” one elder suggested.
