Chapter 3466: The Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals

Among the thirty-three heavens of the Immortals’ World, the overall strength of the Grand Sovereign Heaven ranked towards the bottom, but despite that, they still had over a dozen peak organisations scattered across the place. Every single peak organisation had an Immortal Exalt.

As a matter of fact, some of the organisations that ranked towards the top even had more than one Immortal Exalt.

The Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals was one of the dozen or so peak organisations on the Grand Sovereign Heaven. They possessed a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt with eight Immortal Emperors below, who were known as the eight great elders.

At this moment, inside a glorious divine hall within the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals, six of the eight great elders who possessed the title of the eight backbones had already gathered together. They sat in the air as they circulated their powers of laws, such that they shone with a faint haze. They seemed holy.

The six of them were all mid and early Immortal Emperors. The two remaining late Immortal Emperors regularly spent their time in secluded cultivation. Unless something alarming happened, they rarely ever emerged.

“The Immortal Sect of Luofu, the Immortal Sect of Yuqing, and the Immortal Sect of White Clouds from the Immortal Region of Green Plains have been annihilated, without a single person alive. Apart from that, the Immortal Sect of Great Peace from the Immortal Region of Wondrous Sound, the Immortal Sect of Heaven’s Union from the Immortal Region of Martial Magic, and the Sword Sect of Flowing Light from the Immortal Region of Flowing Sand have all lost their Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors. They were the undisputed greatest organisations in their respective regions in the past. Only some immortals beneath Immortal Monarch managed to survive. Everyone, what do you think of this?” one of the six great elders from the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals asked.

“The three Immortal Emperors from the Immortal Region of Green Plains aren’t exactly powerful, but the Sword Sect of Flowing Light, the Immortal Sect of Heaven’s Union, and the Immortal Sect of Great Peace all have late Immortal Emperors. In particular, the Sword Sect of Flowing Light’s strongest ancestor is already powerful enough to contend against Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors. In the end, even he’s perished, so the person behind it is very likely to be an Immortal Exalt,” said another great elder of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals. His tone was similarly solemn.

To be able to destroy six organisations with over ten Immortal Emperors in total, the person behind it was so powerful that even their Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals felt pressured.

“It’s said that the reason for all this is the Immortal Emperor’s mausoleum that exists in the Immortal Region of Green Plains. The mausoleum has been occupied by the three organisations from the Immortal Region of Green Plains for many years, yet now, they’ve been annihilated, without a single person left alive. Even the Sword Sect of Flowing Light, the Immortal Sect of Heaven’s Union, and the Immortal Sect of Great Peace that went to contend for the legacy faced retribution. Looks like the Immortal Exalt is extremely likely to be closely connected to the owner of the mausoleum. They’ve probably done this for the sake of revenge.”

“After all, an Immortal Emperor’s dwelling isn’t tempting to an Immortal Exalt. The various actions he’s taken coincides with acts of revenge too,” a third great elder said slowly. He looked at one of the great elders seated beside him and warned him earnestly. “Fellow Lin Sui, I heard you are on rather good terms with the three Immortal Emperors from the Immortal Region of Green Plains. Now that this has happened, you have to distance yourself from the Immortal Region of Green Plains, just in case you get into any unnecessary trouble.”

“I-I understand,“ the great elder called Lin Sui said softly. He was in a daze and seemed very distracted.

The six great elders of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals then put forward their own opinions regarding this matter before leaving the hall.

With their departure, the glorious medium quality divine hall immediately fell silent. It was empty, without a single person left.

The divine hall was the place of meeting for the great elders of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals. Only when major events occurred would the great elders gather here. As for the regular elders beneath them, they did not have the authority to be here.

But at this moment, a figure silently appeared from the space there in the empty divine hall. He was equipped in an ancient set of armour that covered every part of his body. Only his eyes were exposed.

He clearly hovered there, but he seemed to be transparent. Not only did he give off absolutely no presence, but even the artifact spirit of the medium quality divine hall failed to sense him.

He was Jian Chen, clad in the Divine Armour of Heavenflight!

The Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals had a powerful defensive formation, but even that could not stop Jian Chen’s footsteps. He used the concealing ability of the Divine Armour of Heavenflight to directly follow behind a disciple of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals. He easily infiltrated the sect when the disciple opened up the formation.

After all, the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals only had a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. The defensive formation was powerful, but it was still beneath the Divine Armour of Heavenflight in terms of quality.

“Looks like the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals has nothing to do with this. It’s just Lin Sui’s personal actions. As a matter of fact, it’s quite obvious from the conversation between the great elders that many of them have no idea what Lin Sui did in the past,” Jian Chen looked beyond the divine hall and thought to himself.

The great elder of the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals, Lin Sui, was the person behind the Laws of Curses who killed all the disciples from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens through the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation and the divine hall.

It could be said that Immortal Emperor Taihang had perished at Lin Sui’s hand.

At the same time, on a floating mountain that only great elders could reside on in the Daoist Sect of Soaring Immortals, Lin Sui sat in his secret room alone with an uneasy expression.

“I didn’t think, I really didn’t think the person that the Immortal Emperor of White Clouds and the others made me curse to death actually has an expert that’s suspected to be an Immortal Exalt behind them. Now that they’re dead, I don’t know if they confessed that it was me who did it.”

“Sigh, if I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have agreed to their conditions. Look at it now. For the sake of a medium quality god artifact, I’ve provoked a peak expert who might be an Immortal Exalt.”

Lin Sui felt unsettled and restless in the secret room.

“I can only hope that the expert who might just be an Immortal Exalt is a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt at most. Perhaps… perhaps we’ve overestimated his strength, and he’s actually an Immortal Emperor, not an Immortal Exalt. If he’s just an Immortal Emperor, then I don’t have to worry too much.” Lin Sui shook his head gently and sighed. He could only pray like that now.

“If I’m just an Immortal Emperor, you don’t need to worry too much? Are you saying that Immortal Emperors are unable to touch you?”

However, as soon as great elder Lin Sui said that, a voice suddenly rang out behind him. It was just inches away.

The sudden voice immediately made Lin Sui’s hairs stand on end. His eyes narrowed rapidly, and he shot up from the ground reflexively. Only when he turned around did he discover that a person clad in armour had actually appeared behind him, without alerting anyone.

He did not give off any presence at all, basically like a ghost. If Lin Sui shot his eyes, he would be unable to sense his existence whether it was through the senses of his soul or his regular five senses.
