Chapter 263: Chapter 245: The Immortal Tao Lineage Appears! The Grand Competition Begins!
In the expanse of the sky, immortal radiance shoots in all directions.
Strands of brilliant divine light descend from above, interweaving continuously to form cascades of immortal waterfalls.
The sound of the Great Tao resounds, deafening and soul-stirring, leaving all cultivators throughout the Immortal Suspended Mountain unable to resist entering a state of enlightenment.
The next moment.
Three hazy immortal sects emerge from the void.
Celestial Saint Palace!
Immortal Ascension Sect!
Daluo Taoist Lands!!
These three great Immortal Tao Lineages are the true rulers of the East Profound Domain, standing high above the clouds, observing the boundless years, witnessing the transformation of seas into mulberry fields, watching life’s rise and fall.
At this moment, countless prodigies atop the mountain, including Chen Zhixing, gaze towards those three immortal sects.
"Immortal Ascension Sect... I remember Master was taken away by them."
Chen Zhixing murmured to himself.
Meanwhile, Chen Zhaosheng and Jiuzui exchanged glances.
The mysterious figure from the Embers Organization, who reincarnated them from ancient times to the present, seems to be hidden within these three great Immortal Tao Lineages.
It’s unknown what role the so-called Number One Master plays within these lineages.
The next moment.
Simultaneously, figures emerge from the three immortal sects.
They are enveloped by the light of the Flying Immortal, making their countenances unclear; only the golden decree held in their hands can be seen faintly.
Soon, these three figures unfold the golden decree, announcing the rules for the Eastern Xuan domain competition!
"The Immortal Suspension is about to open, containing great opportunities. Those who possess an Immortal Martial Order will receive heavenly rewards, opening the Immortal Suspension secret stash..."
As these figures declare the rules, Chen Zhixing’s eyes flicker slightly.
The rules for the Eastern Xuan domain competition are straightforward.
This competition, including those of the Primordial Ancient Race, Northern Beast, East Sea Alien Race, etc., allows for a total of three hundred participants!
Three hundred individuals will enter the ancient microcosm within the Immortal Suspended Mountain, competing for possession—the legendary burial place of True Immortals.
There are a total of three hundred Immortal Martial Orders in that small world!
The competition lasts for one month. Whoever collects the most Immortal Martial Orders within that world will be the winner of the Eastern Xuan domain competition!
Additionally.
For each Immortal Martial Order obtained, a heavenly reward within that world can potentially be triggered!
These rewards may include Immortal Techniques, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, or True Immortal items, all triggered randomly, depending on luck.
"...Now, we shall join forces to open the Immortal Suspended Ancient Lands. Prepare with your Eastern Profound Orders!"
The immortal figures holding golden decrees simultaneously close the decrees with a ’swish’ and speak gravely.
As these words fall.
On the summit of the Immortal Suspended Mountain, over two hundred human prodigies have their eyes agleam, showing a fervent anticipation.
The next moment.
The three figures standing outside the immortal sects glance at each other, nod slightly.
Each of them extends a hand, holding three ancient objects.
A chipped jade seal.
A rusty bronze key.
An ancient scroll with blurred text.
Bang, bang, bang!!
Instantaneously, these three ancient items fly out of their hands, shooting towards the sky in unison!
The three ancient objects collide in the air, then merge.
A blinding golden light bursts forth instantly in the sky, sweeping through all directions!
Under this dazzling golden light, Chen Zhixing instinctively closes his eyes slightly.
When he opens his eyes again, he sees a bright white vortex already suspended in the sky.
"Go in."
"Once you enter this small world, you’ll appear randomly at any location within it."
As those three figures finish speaking.
"Hahaha, Immortal Suspension Ancient Lands, here I come!!"
"Immortal Techniques, Divine Techniques, all the opportunities! They are all mine!!"
The crowd of prodigies, eyes burning with fervor, transform into escape light and ascend rapidly, rushing towards that bright white vortex in a fierce scramble!
Bang, bang, bang!
The sky transforms into a meteor shower, filled with the escape light darting swiftly, a magnificent sight.
"Once you enter the Immortal Suspension Ancient Lands, don’t do anything. We’ll meet immediately. Absolutely do not get singled out by Chen Zhixing! Got it?"
Ye Liancheng glances at Chen Zhixing afar, then retracts his gaze, speaking solemnly.
"Got it!"
Shen San and Li Chengfeng nod, while Jiuzui’s eyes flicker with thoughts unknown.
Bang!!
The next moment, the four, without hesitation, transform into golden escape light, or leave traces in the air, or transform into a gentle breeze, entering that bright white vortex simultaneously.
In the blink of an eye, the once crowded summit of the Immortal Suspended Mountain becomes desolate.
Wui Duolong, or rather Chen Zhaosheng, walks towards the bright white vortex, glancing sideways at Chen Zhixing in the distance.
Chen Zhixing, feeling a connection, also raises his head to look at Chen Zhaosheng.
Their gazes briefly intersect in the air before passing by.
"For the last ten days, find a secluded place to hide, do not come out."
Chen Zhaosheng’s voice echoes in Chen Zhixing’s mind.
The next moment.
Chen Zhaosheng steps lightly and transforms into a dragon-shaped black light, shooting into the bright white vortex.
"The last ten days..."
Chen Zhixing’s eyes flicker, indeed, the Embers plan to take action during the Eastern Xuan domain competition.
This makes him raise his head, his gaze fleetingly passing those three immortal sects.
The only ones capable of maneuvering during the Eastern Xuan domain competition are the three great Immortal Tao Lineages!
This means...
The Embers Organization is at least deeply connected to one of those three great Immortal Tao Lineages!
So, if speculated even deeper.
What is the significance of the Immortal Tao Lineage responsible for creating the Embers Organization in doing so?
Or rather, what is their true goal?
"Master, should we enter now?"
Chen Chou’er’s voice interrupts Chen Zhixing’s thoughts from behind.
Chen Zhixing takes a deep breath, retracting his gaze.
No matter if it’s Embers or the three great Immortal Tao Lineages, they are too far from him currently.
The machinations and plans of such entities are beyond the current him, who has yet to reach Nirvana.
All he can do is employ every ability to preserve himself.
"Let’s go."
Chen Zhixing casts another gaze around, his eyes faintly betraying disappointment.
It’s a pity, the alien prodigies seem to not share the same entrance as them.
This prevents him from knowing whether the protagonist, who broke myths and pushed through the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, is participating in this Eastern Xuan domain competition.
Bang!
Chen Zhixing steps forward, instantly shrinking inches, appearing outside the bright white vortex.
He steps forward once more, entering the vortex and disappearing.
Poof—!
Simultaneously, a large snake bursts from the ground, carrying Chen Chou’er.
Chen Chou’er stands atop the snake’s head, following Chen Zhixing closely, rushing into the vortex.
Half an incense stick later.
The entire summit of the Immortal Suspended Mountain is left with only gusts of wind passing by, devoid of any human presence.
