The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2236: Chapter 2236: Taking Action at the First Sign

Due to the existence of the Immortal Venerable Stele, the names of the cultivators who enter the Immortal Venerable Tower and acquire the Immortal Venerable Seal will not only be known by the cultivators of this Heavenly Domain, but also by those from other Heavenly Domains.

The Wuxia Immortal Venerable in a purple long dress gazed distantly at the Golden Stele and Silver Stele.

Her gaze lingered on the Golden Stele for a moment before moving to the Silver Stele. The Wuxia Immortal Venerable also understood that her name could not ascend to the Golden Stele. Every name on the Golden Stele was a legend, the associated cultivators brimming with legendary tales.

As powerful as Wu Guo Heavenly Lord was, his name had never ascended to the Golden Stele.

“Lord Heavenly Master!”

When the two arrived at the Immortal Venerable Tower, the guard chief stationed there immediately led a team of guards to greet them.

Wu Guo Heavenly Lord waved his hand, signaling them to stand down.

“Wuxia Immortal Venerable, I will now activate the Immortal Venerable Tower. You may enter shortly to acquire the Immortal Venerable Seal,” Wu Guo Heavenly Lord said, turning his gaze to the Wuxia Immortal Venerable.

“Thank you, Lord Heavenly Master,” the Wuxia Immortal Venerable cupped her hands in gratitude.

In each Heavenly Domain, only the Heavenly Lord has the authority to activate the Immortal Venerable Tower. For other cultivators to activate it, they must replace the current Heavenly Lord.

After the Immortal Venerable Tower was activated, an atmosphere filled with the weight of the ages spread from the tower. The exterior of the Immortal Venerable Tower did not change, but the Wuxia Immortal Venerable felt that, once activated, the tower seemed to become much more majestic.

She exchanged pleasantries with Wu Guo Heavenly Lord and then swiftly entered the Immortal Venerable Tower. Her figure disappeared into a curtain of light.

With the activation of the Immortal Venerable Tower and the entry of the Wuxia Immortal Venerable, many eyes began to focus on the Immortal Venerable Tower.

When the Immortal Venerable Tower is closed, it is indistinguishable from ordinary buildings. But once activated, its unique ancient aura transmits far enough to be sensed by powerful cultivators even at a great distance.

“The Immortal Venerable Tower… has been activated?”

“Has a new Immortal Venerable been born?”

“Who is it? Which faction’s Heaven’s Chosen Son?”

“Why was there no prior information sent? What are the intelligence department people doing? A new Immortal Venerable has been born in our Faro Heaven, and they are completely unaware? A bunch of incompetents!”

Some powerful cultivators sensed the aura emanating from the Immortal Venerable Tower.

Some were in closed-door cultivation, others were refining their bodies and minds, and still, others were indulging in the pleasures of nature. But when they sensed the aura from the Immortal Venerable Tower, all eyes locked onto the same location—the Immortal Venerable Tower. Their faces grew solemn.

Many large factions quickly mobilized internally, attempting to gather information through various channels about who exactly entered the realm of the Immortal Venerable.

This included the Mystic Moon Trading House, an Immortal Domain level faction.

Many of the senior figures of these large factions berated their intelligence departments for incompetence. If not for the activation of the Immortal Venerable Tower allowing them to sense the corresponding aura, they would not have known that a new Immortal Venerable had been born in the Heavenly Domain.

“Shoosh, shoosh, shoosh…”

At the same time, many shadows rushed from all directions towards the Immortal Venerable Tower.

Faro Heaven is very vast, previously when the Wuxia Immortal Venerable traveled from Wuxia City to Wu Guo Heavenly Lord’s residence at nearly her maximum speed using instantaneous movement, it took more than ten days.

To be aware of this, from Wuxia City to Faro Heavenly Palace, the Wuxia Heavenly Monarch had already stepped into the Immortal Venerate Realm. Each of her instantaneous movements spanned an extremely remote distance.

Before the Immortal Venerable Tower, cultivators gradually arrived.

“Who entered the Immortal Venerable Tower?” An elderly cultivator of the Immortal Venerate Realm inquired to those who arrived earlier.

“Not sure, when I got here, that person had already entered the Immortal Venerable Tower. I asked the guards of the Immortal Venerable Tower, and they wouldn’t say either,” the person shook his head and said.

“How long has it been since Faro Heaven last had a new Immortal Venerable emerged? Thirty billion years, or fifty billion years?” the elderly man lamented.

“It’s not just in Faro Heaven; the entire Nine Days of Immortal Domain has gone several billion years without anyone entering the Immortal Venerable Tower,” the latter replied with a bitter smile, shaking his head.

As more cultivators drew near to the Immortal Venerable Tower, most were of the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm. Occasionally, experts of the Immortal Venerable Realm could be seen as well.

The emergence of a new Immortal Venerable is a major event for the entire Heavenly Domain. An Immortal Venerable who can enter the Immortal Venerable Tower is a true Immortal Venerable!

Through special means and protective treasures to forcefully elevate realm, many do not acknowledge their Immortal Venerable status. Only those who earn the Immortal Venerable Seal are considered true Immortal Venerables in the eyes of the majority. Those without the Immortal Venerable Seal always fall short; in the presence of those with the Immortal Venerable Seal, they inevitably feel ashamed and inferior.

…

“Lord Heavenly Master, you sent me a communication?”

The Yuantong Immortal Venerable scanned his Communication Magical Treasure with Divine Thought and immediately perked up upon seeing it was Wu Guo Heavenly Lord who sent it.

“It’s me,” Wu Guo Heavenly Lord replied.

“Did you seek me out for something, Lord Heavenly Master?” Yuantong Immortal Venerable chuckled and asked.

“It’s nothing important, I’ve just missed seeing you, Yuantong,” Wu Guo Heavenly Lord laughed.

“Haha, if the Lord Heavenly Master wishes to see me, I can go to Faro Heavenly Palace now,” Yuantong Immortal Venerable laughed heartily.

“There’s no need, truly. Just some idle inquiry. Yes, in your jurisdiction, has the Yellow Spring Cave opened without incident?” Wu Guo Heavenly Lord asked casually.

“Lord Heavenly Master, this time when the Yellow Spring Cave opened, there was indeed a bit of a mishap. I don’t know what came over the Black River Heavenly Monarch; he suddenly appeared when the Yellow Spring Cave opened and forced his way inside. That old coot really has no shame,” Yuantong Immortal Venerable said, still feeling a lot of anger as he mentioned the Black River Heavenly Monarch.

“Black River?” Wu Guo Heavenly Lord frowned slightly.

Wu Guo Heavenly Lord had indeed thought about eradicating Black River Heavenly Monarch, but he also wasn’t confident. Moreover, the Black River Heavenly Monarch was unpredictable in his comings and goings, making it difficult to trace his precise location.

“Hmm, but this rogue Black River probably regrets barging into the Yellow Spring Cave. This time, he suffered losses inside. Hehe, there’s an Immortal Rhythm Cultivator named Jing Yan in my jurisdiction who injured Black River in the Yellow Spring Cave. In the end, Black River could only say some threatening words and flee awkwardly,” Yuantong Immortal Venerable could not help but laugh as he spoke of Jing Yan.

“Oh? Is that so? Jing Yan… I’ve heard that name recently. To defeat Black River Heavenly Monarch, that’s no small feat!” Wu Guo Heavenly Lord mused.

Because of the incident in the Yellow Spring Cave where he defeated Black River Heavenly Monarch, Jing Yan’s reputation in Faro Heaven greatly increased. Many major factions have taken note of this name. Wu Guo Heavenly Lord had heard his subordinates mention it as well. Initially, Wu Guo Heavenly Lord had not paid much attention to the name Jing Yan. But now, hearing Yuantong Immortal Venerable mention it again, the name suddenly became more significant.
