Chapter 1762: Scheming and Intrigue, The Opening of the Immortal Gate 1
The appearance of the Sword-Brow Elder seemed to sharpen the momentum of the heavens and earth, as if the very atmosphere had become more piercing.
Behind him, a simple and ancient wooden sword was slung over his back, making him seem even more strikingly out of place.
By his side, four figures followed closely, each dressed in tight, streamlined attire, looking neat and efficient. Their brows were furrowed in stern expressions, and their eyes gleamed like blades.
“The ancient Golden Immortal cave is about to open. Any grudges you have, resolve them after we enter,” the Sword-Brow Elder said slowly, as if a sharp blade had been thrust into the battlefield. His presence effectively halted any further conflict between the Cloud Elder and the Blood Cursed Demon Immortal.
“It's the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect…”
At this moment, beside Jiang Chengxuan, the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Immortal Sect, Yun Tian, whispered to him, revealing the identities of the Sword-Brow Elder and his group.
The Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect was the dominant force in the neighboring Iron Rain Territory of the Liuyun Domain, where the Yunlan Immortal Sect also resided.
Undoubtedly, it was a Golden Immortal-level force and one of the most ancient sects.
Its ancestor, known as the Heavenly Sword Elder, became famous long before Cloud Elder, with rumors suggesting his swordsmanship had reached an astonishing level, even capable of severing the very river of time and space. Some even claimed that his longevity was a result of his swordsmanship having reached its peak.
Thus, even Cloud Elder and the Blood Cursed Demon Immortal held some degree of reverence for the Heavenly Sword Elder. To them, he could be considered an elder.
“Hehe… The Heavenly Sword Elder speaks the truth. Once you two are inside, you can fight as you please, but don't delay our entry.”
Just then, a faint laugh rang out from the direction the Heavenly Sword Elder had come from. Along with this, a surge of eerie blue light appeared, crossing thousands of miles of void space, with several figures standing amidst the celestial glow, each exuding an overwhelmingly powerful aura.
In the blink of an eye, before anyone could respond, the group arrived before them.
At the forefront was an elderly man with short, ghostly green hair, standing at an imposing height of over eight feet. His expression, though fierce, exuded a cunning smile that gave others a sense of insincerity.
“You, Youxing, you're the slowest one to arrive? This really is a surprise,” the Heavenly Sword Elder remarked, his face stern but his tone laced with teasing.
It was clear that this person was a familiar face to them.
Jiang Chengxuan had heard of him before his arrival.
In the ancient cultivation world, this man was known as Youxing the Immortal. His sect, the Youxing Immortal Sect, was another terrifying presence, ruling over its own domain.
However, unlike the Yunlan Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect, the Youxing Immortal Sect rose only a million years ago, in a mysterious and sudden manner, as though it had emerged from nowhere, swiftly suppressing all other sects in its region and securing its position as the dominant force.
No one knew where Youxing the Immortal had come from. All they knew was that he was erratic, tyrannical, and far from a righteous cultivator.
Some speculated that his lineage traced back to a fallen ancient Demon Immortal in the Ancient Realm, and it was this inheritance that allowed him to swiftly establish the Youxing Immortal Sect with overwhelming might.
Furthermore, the few late-stage Xuan Immortal elders of the Youxing Immortal Sect arrived in a rather peculiar manner. These elders had once been the sect leaders of other sects in that region. After being forced to join the Youxing Immortal Sect, they had broken through from the mid-Xuan Immortal realm to the late-Xuan Immortal stage.
This wasn't a one-time occurrence—three elders had all experienced such breakthroughs!
Such an abnormal situation only reinforced the suspicion that Youxing the Immortal had inherited some ancient demonical lineage. It was the methods of the demon path that could forcibly elevate people to higher realms, with no regard for any possible negative consequences.
“Hmph, you demon path cultivator, I don't know what's going on in that wicked mind of yours.”
“Once we enter, if you dare approach, I'll strike first!”
For this very reason, both Cloud Elder and the Blood Cursed Demon Immortal showed extreme hostility towards Youxing the Immortal, both rebuking him in unison. For a moment, they even forgot their previous quarrels.
“Hehe…”
In response, Youxing the Immortal merely smiled, unphased. As a newly rising force, he had grown accustomed to being rejected by both the righteous and the demonic factions. However, the fact that he still stood on equal footing with them proved the true strength of the Youxing Immortal Sect.
Even if other sects ostracized them, they had still risen, and that was an undeniable testament to their power.
Jiang Chengxuan could also sense a dangerous aura from the members of the Youxing Immortal Sect. Whenever their gazes swept over him, he felt a creeping, ominous chill in his heart, as if a poisonous snake were slithering past him.
In that instant, the world fell silent. The atmosphere grew eerily still and serene.
In this realm, the four most powerful Golden Immortal forces had gathered—the strongest warriors of four Golden Immortal sects!
Such a scene was terrifying beyond words, enough to make all living beings tremble!
Every person here, if taken individually, was a figure of some renown in the Ancient Realm. But at this moment, with Golden Immortal experts leading them, everyone else was nothing more than a supporting role!
Clearly, aside from the four Golden Immortal experts, everyone else had realized that a single mistake could lead to their own demise.
The tension in the atmosphere heightened as everyone stood in their respective teams, preparing for what would surely be an extraordinary, life-and-death ordeal.
