Chapter 836: Chapter 538: Giant God Clan
Feng Tingyun led many Feng True Immortals, quietly leaving that no longer safe Broken Realm.
Everyone restrained their auras as much as possible, using the remnants and turbulence in the starry sky to conceal their tracks, cautiously making their way toward the Star Domain where the Xu Clan was stationed.
Now that the Immortal Court had just been established, the alliance of the Feng and Xu Clans could be considered as one in the same spirit, the only comrades among the Ten Great Ancient Clans in the perilous, mutually guarded Heaven Burial Palace, who could assist each other.
After traversing several barren and shattered Star Domains, the group arrived at a starry sky that appeared utterly empty.
Here, the Stars were sparse, with only eternal darkness and cold, revealing no abnormalities.
Feng Tingyun stopped, flicked her slender fingers, and an Immortal Light Communication Talisman silently disappeared into the void ahead.
A few breaths later, the scene before them seemed to be slowly unveiled by an invisible hand. The originally empty starry sky twisted and rippled, revealing the true scene concealed by a powerful Array.
A completely different, relatively stable and vibrant new starry sky.
Not far away was an exceptionally well-preserved Great Realm, where one could even see the azure sea and green continents, like a treasure, suspended beneath the starry canopy.
The outskirts of the realm were guarded by a faintly flowing Immortal Light barrier.
Two True Immortals wearing the Xu Clan’s unique void-cloud patterned Immortal Robes emerged from the realm, their expressions respectful, evidently having received the message. They bowed slightly to Feng Tingyun:
“Celestial Lord Tingyun, fellow Daoists, please follow me.”
Soon, the group of Feng Clan True Immortals was welcomed into this Great Realm.
The abundance of Spiritual Energy within the realm far exceeded that of the outside, almost comparable to some ancient Holy Lands in the Great Universe, with picturesque mountains, towering Ancient Woods, cascading waterfalls, flowing springs, and Strange Grass and flowers everywhere, the environment serene and beautiful.
This formed a stark contrast to the brutal fighting outside the Heaven Burial Palace.
The Xu Clan had clearly been here for a long time, laying down robust Immortal Arrays, turning this into a temporary base, possibly even left by the previous generation of the Xu Clan members.
The Xu Clan’s Heavenly Fate was currently dim, having just undergone a shocking upheaval, so no half-step Son of Heaven level figures entered the Heaven Burial Palace. At the forefront was a True Immortal at Nine Tribulations Perfection level named Xu Wuchen.
His face appeared slightly lean, with deep-set eyes and an aura as deep as an abyss.
After meeting and exchanging pleasantries, Feng Tingyun dismissed those around her and directly explained the purpose of her visit to Xu Wuchen, her tone grave:
“Five Nine Tribulations True Immortals from my clan, including brother Zimo and his siblings, went to hunt Zheng Chu previously, only for their soul tokens to shatter within breaths. The five of them perished together.”
She skipped the details and went straight to the point, but the result explained everything:
“I suspect Zheng Chu may have allied with the Star Moon Ancient Clan or even the Giant God Clan. Otherwise, there could not be such strength, perhaps even the immortal-banishing rune has spread…”
“The current Heaven Burial Palace has become extremely perilous for us Immortal Path Cultivators. In my opinion, it would be wise to lie low for now and avoid its sharpness. Brother Wuchen, what do you think?”
If the immortal-banishing rune falls into the hands of other Ancient Clans and leads to the Immortal Path being besieged, the outcome would be quite dire.
Upon hearing this, Xu Wuchen’s face showed surprise, his brows furrowed, lost in thought.
Five Nine Tribulations True Immortals being insta-killed, the news was terrifying.
After a long while, he slowly nodded, making a decision:
“What Tingyun has said is very true. Zheng Chu has already become a great threat, and since the situation is unclear, acting rashly could be disastrous. It is better to be patient and plan long term.”
After speaking, his gaze turned slightly apologetically toward a young man in a cyan robe standing quietly to the side, speaking softly:
“Tianji, I apologize. I had promised you before that if there was a chance, I would help you resolve your issues with the Yun Clan…Unfortunately, this matter may need to be postponed.”
With a sincere tone, Xu Wuchen understood that given the sudden change in the situation, ensuring the strength of both clans was the top priority, personal vendettas had to be set aside.
Yun Tianji’s expression remained calm, shaking his head slightly, without a trace of disappointment: “Brother, your words are too much. The feud between the Yun Clan and me is personal, and Xu and Feng shouldn’t be bothered with it at this critical moment, lest it disrupts the larger affairs.”
His gaze lowered, and deep in his eyes a subtle light flickered.
Based on his understanding of Zheng Chu’s character and behavior, the likelihood of an alliance with other Ancient Clans was slim.
Those five Feng Nine Tribulations True Immortals were most likely defeated by Zheng Chu alone.
Thinking of this, Yun Tianji couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.
In just a short period of absence, Zheng Chu’s power had advanced so terrifyingly? Truly shocking!
Recalling the Heavenly Destiny True Spirit he possessed, Yun Tianji couldn’t help but grow suspicious; could it be that Zheng Chu had also gained the assistance of a Heavenly Destiny True Spirit?
Besides this, he could think of no other possibilities.
Seeing Yun Tianji so reasonable, Xu Wuchen showed appreciation, patting his shoulder solemnly:
“Rest assured, what I promised, I, Xu Wuchen, will certainly fulfill. I guarantee that none of the Yun Clan people who entered will leave Heaven Burial Palace alive!”
In total, besides the Yun Clan’s own hundred spots, only about two hundred participated through the Heaven Burial Ceremony.
Altogether, just over three hundred people. Once the outside situation is confirmed, the two Ancient Clans joining forces to erase a Yun Clan is merely a matter of ease.
It is only a matter of time.
Very soon, the True Immortals of both clans received the news, opting to lie low for now, refraining from stepping out of the Immortal Array except for gathering information.
