Chapter 3516: Opening the Space (2)
The protective formation operated at full force. Coupled with the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s spatial barrier, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens defences were immediately pushed to its peak of the past several hundred thousand years.
However, the changes also alerted the four organisations in the surroundings. The senses of four Immortal Emperors’ souls circled around above the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, taking close note of anything that happened to it.
“The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens actually has an Immortal Emperor visiting. Even the sect formation has begun to operate at full strength. Where did they find the energy to push the formation to its limits?”
“The Immortal Emperor seems to be the ancestor of the Righteous Union clan of the Immortal Region of Great Realm, Righteous Bearing!”
“That’s strange. Why is Righteous Bearing visiting the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens? The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is even going as far as to activate the protective formation. What exactly are they trying to do?”
“However, with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ impoverished circumstances, even if they can squeeze out some resources to maintain the formation, they can’t last for very long. Let’s just secretly observe for now. We’ll find out sooner or later exactly what they’re up to.”
The senses of the souls of the four Immortal Emperors made contact mid-air, exchanging their respective opinions.
Afterwards, the senses of their souls lingered about, spying on the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens as closely as possible.
.......
…
In the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, the disciples cultivating there could all sense the change. The pulses of energy from the protective formation operating at full strength and the tremendous pressure emanating from the spatial barrier set down by the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor surprised and confused all the disciples.
On the main peak, all of the core disciples gathered there also had no idea what was happening. They all stared at elder Nong and Chen Shuzhi with uncertainty.
Chen Shuzhi and Nong Fugui did not explain anything to these core disciples. Nong Fugui clasped his fist towards the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor and proactively introduced Jian Chen. “Senior Righteous Bearing, this is the young sect master of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Jian Chen. Jian Chen, what are you waiting for? Pay your respects towards the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor!”
Jian Chen immediately bowed towards the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor as a junior.
“Yeah, not bad. Looks like your Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will have a third Immortal Monarch appear very soon. However, you better protect him. After all, many prodigies of your sect have died young throughout history,” the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor said indifferently, clearly not particularly interested in Jian Chen.
Elder Nong smiled gently. “Thank you for your concern, Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor, but the young sect master of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is no regular person. With his master around, I don’t think there’ll be anyone foolish enough to touch him.”
“Oh?” The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor immediately turned towards Jian Chen and began to study him seriously for the first time. There was some doubt on his face.
“Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor, you only need to see this one item and you’ll understand exactly how powerful Jian Chen’s master is,” Chen Shuzhi spoke up cooperatively. With a flip of his hand, he took out the Immortal-destroying Thunder.
Immediately, an invisible pressure spread out.
The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s face suddenly changed, his pupils narrowing to the size of pins. Suddenly, he turned towards the Immortal-destroying Thunder in Chen Shuzhi’s hand.
“This is… this is an Immortal-destroying Thunder forged from an Immortal Exalt’s tribulation lightning?” the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor cried out. His face became unprecedentedly stern. He even staggered back unconsciously. A smear of deeply-hidden fear and fright appeared in the depths of his eyes.
Even with his cultivation as a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, he sensed the presence of death from the Immortal-destroying Thunder.
“That’s right. This is an Immortal-destroying Thunder refined from the tribulation lightning of an Immortal Exalt. The young sect master’s master gave him this Immortal-destroying Thunder as a life-preserving measure! However, the young sect master has already handed it over to the sect,” Nong Fugui said calmly.
The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s expression changed. In the end, he glanced at Jian Chen deeply. He actually developed a sense of fear in the depths of his heart.
He understood that those who could refine Immortal-destroying Thunders from the tribulation lightning of Immortal Exalts were mid Immortal Exalts at the very least.
However, the part that truly shocked the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor was that such a high quality Immortal-destroying Thunder had actually been bestowed to a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal.
Was he not afraid of an expert stealing it without raising his attention?
The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor could not help but sink into his thoughts.
Before long, a ball of dazzling light erupted on the main peak of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens like a blazing sun, illuminating the land.
Under elder Nong’s orders, the core disciples had already established a formation. As their energy chanelled into it, the formation began to shine blindingly.
Shortly afterwards, elder Nong appeared above the formation, seated in the air. He began to form seals with both hands as he released his great energy as an Immortal Monarch endlessly, also shining with blinding light.
However, when the light that elder Nong gave off merged with the light from the formation below, the space within the dazzling ball of light started to change.
The combined efforts of elder Nong and all the disciples seemed to form a wondrous secret technique that ripped through various disguises, exposing the secret hidden in the mist.
The formation was clearly centred around elder Nong. Without his participation, the formation established by these core disciples would not be enough to find the Star Clustered Ancestor’s secret space.
Jian Chen watched closely and gradually became stern. He had already noticed that the Star Clustered Ancestor’s secret space was actually hidden in the space of the main peak, but it was far too well-hidden. Even with his mastery over the Laws of Space, he failed to find anything.
At this moment, the entrance to the secret space was gradually exposed under elder Nong and the core disciples’ efforts.
A small black speck appeared in the centre of the white light like a miniature black hole, something that no one could gaze through.
The black speck was like the entrance to another world. It seemed to be within arm’s reach, just inches away, but it also appeared worlds away, residing in an entirely different space. It felt like an immeasurable distance separated it from them.
“Senior Righteous Bearing!” Elder Nong’s stern voice rang out from the blinding white light.
The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor was stern. He stowed his book away and behaved like he was about to charge into battle. With a flash, he entered the blinding white light. Afterwards, he grasped the space, and the Laws of Space gathered from the surroundings, forming a chain that approached the black speck.
Immediately, the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s Laws of Space became extremely sluggish. It felt like his Laws of Space were traversing an extremely vast distance, penetrating walls after walls of worlds with difficulty as it moved between galaxies. It approached the entrance of the Star Clustered Ancestor's secret space arduously.
Before anyone had noticed, the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor had already become extremely stern. Tiny beads of sweat formed on his forehead. Clearly, this was an exceedingly arduous task to a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor like him.
Finally, after tremendous difficulty, the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s Laws of Space entered the black speck. The black speck immediately enlarged slightly as if the distance between them had shortened.
Afterwards, the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor controlled the powers of the Laws of Space. He channelled it into the black hole, making the hole rapidly enlargen like it was being slowly dragged over from the ends of the universe.
This process lasted for seven days. Under the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s efforts, the sesame-sized black hole had become three metres wide now.
A bronze door appeared before everyone inside the black space.
When they saw the bronze door, the expressions of both the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor and Jian Chen changed slightly.
“The door is a high quality god artifact. I can’t open it,” the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor said sternly. He had already become rather pale.
Elder Nong made his way over to the bronze door slowly. He formed a seal with his hands and sent streaks of light flying into the door.
