Chapter 762: Chapter 558 Did You Guys Plan This?_3

The last secret of Nameless Mountain...was not on the mountain.

Within the vast expanse of the sky, hidden under the dense white clouds, stood a solemn large stele.

As Qingfeng swept away the mist, the ancient-looking face of the stele finally revealed its last two characters.

Azure Sky!

After a grueling journey, only by reaching the summit could one clear the clouds and see the "Azure Sky."

"Sigh."

Shen Yi slightly moved his arms, yet nothing unusual occurred, a sharp contrast to his previous forced enlightenment. He realized that this time it seemed he needed to take initiative himself.

It didn’t matter, sometimes a change was necessary.

...

Western Hong, Ban Shan Sect.

A lean old man paced anxiously by the spring, "It’s been ten days! Could something have gone wrong?"

Yan Chongzhang stood beside him silently. He understood what his master was anxious about. After all, this outing by Daoist Shen would determine whether what was hidden in Nameless Mountain was a Spiritual Technique or...the rumored Immortal Law.

But this was far too hasty.

He muttered softly, "Master, when you observed Guan Mountain back then, ten days wouldn’t even suffice for your Divine Soul to be immersed."

"How can that be compared?"

The Sect Master of Ban Shan Sect glared back. What was his relationship with Nameless Mountain, and what was Shen’s relationship with Nameless Mountain?

"To be honest, if it really were Immortal Law, with your qualifications, Master, let alone mastering it, understanding it would be considered a success," Yan Chongzhang forced a smile.

"..." The Sect Master of Ban Shan Sect instinctively wanted to retort angrily, but after a moment of contemplation, he could only let out a long sigh with a hint of regret, "It’s still better it’s a Spiritual Technique. We’ll have to face the Southern Dragon Palace soon, so it’s better to have something practical."

"You’re still picking and choosing."

Yan Chongzhang shook his head helplessly, about to say something more, when he suddenly saw his master abruptly look up, gazing beyond the Sect.

This familiar reaction triggered a sense of foreboding in him.

As if confirming Yan Chongzhang’s guess.

The next moment, a deep and uniform voice rang out outside the Sect.

"Infinite Dao Emperor Sect, Sect Master Situ personally arrives, demanding your Sect to open its array and greet us within thirty breaths!"

As these words resonated within Ban Shan Sect.

Yan Chongzhang suddenly found himself parched, with his usually calm disposition, he couldn’t help but curse inwardly, "Are they playing with us?"

Last time, Pan Boyang arrived first, followed by Daoist Shen.

This time, no sooner had Daoist Shen arrived than the Dao Imperial Sect, like dogs that had smelled meat, hurriedly came without pause.

This even gave Yan Chongzhang the illusion that both parties had made an agreement.

He quickly looked at his master, only to see for the first time such intense solemnity and wariness on his face: "Do you know this Sect Master?"

"..."

The Sect Master of Ban Shan Sect slowly clenched his fists, his breathing becoming a bit rapid: "Situ Junrui, among the sixteen Sect Masters of the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect, though junior in seniority, his strength has already reached Perfection Earth Realm. If he performs well, he could even touch the top ten."

"Perfection Earth Realm? A prodigy of the Four Soldiers Union Dao?"

Yan Chongzhang stood there, stunned. What truly terrified him was not the Sect Master’s strength, but...

"Such a fully matured prodigy, yet he can’t even make it into the top ten?"

"You know nothing."

The Ban Shan Sect Master glanced at his foolish disciple with a hint of envy, "When you’re qualified to attend the Immortal’s banquet, you’ll understand."

North Hong’s supremacy over the other three Hongs was, of course, related to the richness of the Heaven and Earth’s energies and the quantity and quality of Heaven and Earth Treasures, but if compared in those aspects, East Hong was not weaker than the north.

The main factor was that Northern Hong was the closest to the Immortals... Compared to where the Immortals resided, even if the other three Hongs were wealthier, they couldn’t match the Immortal Pill and fine wines that fell through the Immortals’ fingers.

Moreover, an incident from the past made the reclusive Hongze feel the audacity of those within his domain to harbor second thoughts about him, thus increasing the frequency of his banquets.

As the two largest powers in Northern Hong, and having exerted significant efforts in the matter of sending Fairy Zi Ling to the heavens, a hundred thousand years had passed, and several generations of the younger ones had changed, the Northern Dragon Palace and the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect had thrived immensely.

Immortals, though uninvolved in worldly affairs, do not wish to see turmoil in their water and land domains that could lead to inquisition from the Immortal Court.

Allowing North Hong to dominate, deterring the other domains, and then having these two major powers focus on pleasing him, Hongze naturally enjoyed peace... at least on the surface, which was enough.

Didn’t this pressure push the East Dragon Palace to the extent of sending a daughter to forge a marriage alliance in Western Hong?

"Thirty seconds left."

Yan Chongzhang swallowed nervously and took out the Jade Slip, "Hurry up and notify the Sub-sect Master to come here, this is a life-or-death matter! The rest of you, go back to your caves and stay put, without a Sect Master’s Imperial Edict, no one is allowed to come out!"

"Hurry!"

In such a critical situation, he was still reliable.

"If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to fear. Come with me to see him, just respond normally."

The Ban Shan Sect Master adjusted his emotions, knowing that his Sect Disciples hadn’t taken up arms, and as long as he didn’t mention the individual who did, who would know they were right below Nameless Mountain.

Infinite Dao Emperor Sect was strong, but after all, this place was West Hong, they couldn’t be that well-informed.

Saying that, the master and disciple straightened their clothes and sped out of the Sect one after the other.

Among the columns touching the sky.

The River and Mountains Scroll, grander than before, nearly surrounded the entire Ban Shan Sect, with its golden light making the impressions on the columns seem dimmer.

Several disciples in splendid robes stood around, their garments fluttering, resembling celestial warriors, immensely majestic.

"Didn’t know Sect Master Situ was visiting in person, this old man didn’t welcome you from afar, I hope..."

The Ban Shan Sect Master, having shed his warrior demeanor, posed elegantly with a bow and was about to finish, but his face suddenly twitched, the smile at the corners of his lips fading quickly.

He lowered his arms, silently observing the Dao Imperial Palace in the River and Mountain Scroll.

The hemp robe on his body billowed slightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, containing what seemed like several Jiao Dragons within.

There, Situ Junrui appeared to be sitting on the ground, stretching out his legs casually on a cushion, with an elderly man with white hair crawling beside him like a dog.

He clenched the old man’s hair, forcibly lifting his head to reveal a face mangled and bloody.

"Come, Elder Yang, greet your Sect Master."

Situ Junrui, with a smiling gaze, looked down from above, taking in the sight of the master and disciple below him.

From his elevated position, he resembled a king.
