Chaotic Sword God - C.3795: Interrogating the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment

At this moment, the sorrow caused by the Space-purging Ancestor’s death had already vanished. Her mind was filled with concern regarding how the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment could survive this crisis.

In a split second, most of the Immortal Exalts had already left. Only a few First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts remained in the depths of the ancient mountain range.

From extremely far away, Jian Chen perfectly blended into the surrounding space under the disguise of the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race and the Divine Armour of Heavenflight. He witnessed everything that occurred here.

He even overheard the entire conversation between the Immortal Exalts.

“Sure enough, the Immortal Exalts of the Hall Brilliance Heaven haven’t disappointed me. I just don’t know if they can find anything inside the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.”

“If the Transcension Ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment can die by their hands, it would obviously be for the best. It would save me the trouble of doing it myself. After all, a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt won’t be as easy to deal with as I imagine. There will be some uncontrollable factors at play.”

“I have to complete the Divine Formation of the Heavens as much as possible, hopefully to the extent where I can trap the opponent as soon as I unleash it. Only then can I ensure that nothing will go wrong, just in case some experts try to escape and end up getting away.”

Jian Chen thought rapidly. He advanced silently through space, tailing the Immortal Exalts from afar. He also made his way towards the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.

At this moment, it was peaceful inside the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. The weaker disciples moved through various parts of the sect actively, while most of the Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors spent all year round in secluded cultivation. Apart from a few members of the upper echelon charged with maintaining the day-to-day affairs, they rarely ever showed themselves.

At this moment, the tremendous pressure of a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt surged out, instantly enveloping the entire Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.

The Warring Old Freak stood in the air outside the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment with his hands behind his back. He stared at the sect calmly.

Figures flickered behind him. Immortal Exalts arrived one after another. There were over a dozen of them, where each person represented a peak organisation that stood at the apex of a heaven.

Over a dozen peak organisations had gathered, which basically represented most of the Hall Brilliance Heaven.

At that moment, the entire Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment had been startled. The peace in the sect was instantly disrupted. The Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors of the sect spent most of their time in secluded cultivation, rarely venturing out. Now, they flew out from the entrance, acting like they were facing powerful enemies.

“It’s the Warring Old Freak of the War sect. Don’t tell me the War sect is attacking our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment?”

“No, there’s also the Sun-chasing Immortal Exalt of the Overflowing Immortal sect, the Cloud-rushing Ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Surrounding Void, the Scarlet Fire City Lord of the Yi Immortal City…”

“What’s going on? W-why have such great figures who never show themselves even across tens of thousand of years all come to our sect today?”

......

…

When the upper echelon of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment recognised these Immortal Exalts, they became stunned. They were overcome with shock.

“All of you, back down. The situation here has nothing to do with you.” The Flying Leaf Ancestor rushed back to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. In front of the upper echelon of the sect, she recovered her usual coldness, ordering everyone to step down with absolute authority.

“Yes, ancestor!” The upper echelon of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment answered in unison. They all backed far away in complete doubt and shock.

“Fellows, you’ve arrived at our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment with such a crowd. May I ask what’s the matter?” At this moment, an elderly voice rang out from the back mountains in the forbidden grounds of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.

A figure emerged from one of the three towers that reached towards the sky, striding through the air and arriving before the Immortal Exalts in a flash.

He was an old man with white hair and eyebrows, dressed in the robes of a daoist priest and giving off a sagely presence. He had the bearing of an enlightened grandmaster.

He was the leading ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, the Transcension Ancestor.

“A Fiend Soul Banner appeared on the Hall Brilliance Heaven. We’ve come this time because we suspect that the Fiend Soul Banner is connected to your Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment…” the Warring Old Freak said. He truthfully explained everything that had occurred previously, as well as the Space-purging Ancestor’s death.

“What? Junior brother Space-purging has perished?” The Transcension Ancestor only seemed to learn about this now. His expression immediately changed drastically. His gaze sank as his tone immediately became icy. “Hasn’t the truth been laid out right in front of you? My junior brother must have been murdered by the expert wielding the Fiend Soul Banner. It’s laughable that you would actually think that the Fiend Soul Banner is connected to our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.”

The Transcension Ancestor stepped aside and said coldly, “A Fiend Soul Banner, such a vicious demonic god artifact, has appeared on the Hall Brilliance Heaven. Instead of investigating my junior brother’s murderer, you’ve instead raised such a great fuss to come and interrogate my Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, suspecting us to be connected to the Fiend Soul Banner. What a joke. I’ll open the entire sect to you right now. You can search through it as you please.”

“However, if you don’t find anything, then our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment will definitely require an explanation from you.”

“Fellow Transcension, don’t tell me you’re truly unaware of the Fiend Soul Banner?” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu asked.

“I’ll repeat this one last time. The Fiend Soul Banner has nothing to do with our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. If there really is a connection, then you can do whatever you please with us,” the Transcension Ancestor said sternly.

The Warring Old Freak stared straight at the Transcension Ancestor and said, “Transcension, you are only a clone right now. Where is your main body?”

“My main body has already spent many years outside travelling. I’ve been constantly in search of an opportunity to break through to the Sixth Heavenly Layer. Warring Old Freak, don’t tell me you’re suspecting me?” The Transcension Ancestor looked at the Warring Old Freak without any hint of fear.

The Warring Old Freak nodded seriously and said, “That’s right, I do indeed have that suspicion. Everyone, let’s search through this place and see if any presence of a Fiend Soul Banner lingers here.”

The Immortal Exalts all entered the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment and carried out a search with their various abilities and secret techniques. Even the three towers that stood in the forbidden grounds were not spared.

Jian Chen concealed himself in the space outside the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. He basically watched everything unfold right before him. From the moment the Immortal Exalts entered the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment unobstructed, he already knew that this trip had ended in failure.

The Transcension Ancestor must have made sufficient preparations. He was not worried about these people finding anything.

Sure enough, the Immortal Exalts did not find anything after carrying out a fine search. They did not even find the slightest trace.

Jian Chen did not keep watching. He left silently using the Laws of Space. He moved even faster than some newly-broken through Immortal Exalts. He returned to the Immortal Rising City.

“Master, you’ve returned!”

Jing Mumu sat in the courtyard, cultivating. Sensing Jian Chen’s presence, she immediately opened her eyes and beamed with joy.

Jian Chen nodded towards Jing Mumu with a smile. After letting her continue cultivating, he returned to a secret room alone.

He had used two strands of Profound Sword Qi to kill the Space-purging Ancestor this time. He had exhausted almost half of the power of his soul, so he had to recover it as quickly as possible and recondense the Profound Sword Qi.

Simultaneously, Jian Chen needed to use this time to complete the Divine Formation of the Heavens as much as possible and comprehend more functions of the formation. He needed to make abundant preparation for dealing with the Transcension Ancestor in the future.
