Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman
Chapter 409 - Chapter 409 Chapter 232 Pale Worm (Happy National Day)

Chapter 409: Chapter 232: Pale Worm! (Happy National Day) Chapter 409: Chapter 232: Pale Worm! (Happy National Day) Artifact Heart Sect, outside the Immortal Palace.

Over ten Artifact Heart Sect disciples had just flown out of the range of the Heavenly Pit where the Immortal Palace was located.

Before they could catch their breath, they cried out in alarm as a flash of blue light captured their forms, and in the next instant, they appeared on the deck of a large Immortal Boat in the high sky.

This large Immortal Boat came from the Sky Sword Sect, which had set up an extremely clever concealed Formation to hide its presence.

On the deck, in addition to several elders from the Sky Sword Sect, there were also quite a few old men in Taoist robes of different colors.

Among them were not only reinforcements from other sects but also two Guest Elders from the Artifact Heart Sect.

These two were astute and insightful, realizing that something was amiss, just like Little True Man Mu, they immediately found excuses to run outside.

The Artifact Heart Sect disciples, who were briefly stunned after landing on the deck, knelt down in joy upon seeing their surroundings.

Then, under the questioning of a gentle female cultivator, they detailed the recent abnormalities in the Immortal Palace.

“The Evil Exorcism Talismans and Magic Artifacts did not react?”

“Hmm… Could it be not the work of an Evil Spirit but rather some other demonic trickery?”

An elder of the Sky Sword Sect, fully in charge of the matter, had a glint of strangeness in his eyes and muttered softly.

“However, what Evil Technique could accomplish all this under the protection of so many Artifact Heart Sect experts and Spiritual Treasures!”

“This shouldn’t be possible!”

“Unless… the one who took action is the upper echelon of the Artifact Heart Sect itself!”

“It’s good that it’s not an Evil Spirit; let us all go together and see what exactly the Artifact Heart Sect is up to.”

Although surprised in their hearts, these elders, after repeatedly confirming through various methods that this matter was unrelated to an Evil Spirit.

Couldn’t help but feel somewhat more composed.

Their Sky Sword Sect was among the top tiers in the Southern Desolate when it came to battling with formations!

Suddenly, the sky above the outskirts of the Immortal Palace burst into a brilliant Golden Light.

Then one after another, large Immortal Boats revealed themselves from their concealed state and descended from the high sky.

Wave after wave of surging Divine Sense was released from the Immortal Boats, forcibly scanning the Immortal Palace.

Upon this scan, they immediately discovered that even the most basic Array of the entire Immortal Palace had been shut down.

Under their Divine Sense, all areas of the Immortal Palace, except for several deep cave mansions, were clearly visible.

Rare Spiritual Medicines and special Spiritual Beasts in the Spirit Garden, the massive precious materials stored in the storeroom, as well various Magic Artifacts and half-finished Spiritual Artifacts.

Among these treasures, even Golden Core Elders couldn’t help but be moved.

After all, this was the accumulation of a millennium of heritage of a large sect.

How could there not be desirable items?

And these items were also one of the main reasons why they were so eager to come and help.

“There definitely is something fishy!”

An elder from the Sky Sword Sect drew out a broad Great Sword shining with golden light.

The aura around him sharpened instantly.

“Please, join me in taking action to break into that cave mansion and investigate what has actually happened!”

These elders from various sects didn’t care if attacking from afar would damage this important structure.

Each cunning and crafty, they would certainly not venture into the inside of the Immortal Palace themselves to investigate.

In an instant, those large Immortal Boats all erupted with dazzling flashes of light that struck towards the Immortal Palace.

Boom!

With the rumble, the entire Immortal Palace trembled slightly from the aftereffects of the explosion.

The Sky Sword Sect elder who had taken the offensive snorted coldly and flew out of the Immortal Boat, raising his Great Sword and laughing viciously:

“I knew there was a problem, but I didn’t expect it to be you bunch of demon spawn causing trouble!”

At the Immortal Palace’s main gate, three figures in black robes suddenly appeared there, tossing out a black Pagoda to block the recent attack.

With this action, the identities of the Devil Heart Sect members in black robes were also unmistakably revealed.

The leading black-robed figure chuckled and looked at the large Immortal Boats in the sky, speaking lightly:

“We were also invited to come here. If you want to know the answer, why don’t you join me in waiting here for a while?”

“Just a little longer, and the results should be about ready.”

“Hmph! Do not think to disrupt our minds with your nonsense.”

“Regardless of what happened to the Artifact Heart Sect, everyone, we will not be wrong to capture them now!”

The Sky Sword Sect elder waved his Great Sword, taking the lead.

The other elders followed suit and started their attacks.

And the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the large Immortal Boats were also busy, controlling the Formations to provide assistance.

While there were continuous battles outside.

In the deepest part of the Immortal Palace.

The cave mansion originally belonging to the Sect Master.

It was now transformed into an Altar.

The scent of incense permeated every corner of the cave mansion.

The Sect Master, who had gone insane due to the Blood God incident, was sitting cross-legged around the Altar along with other elders and Deacons.

They all had their eyes tightly shut, and something seemed to be wriggling out from underneath their pale skin.

Rustling sounds appeared on the ground.

It was a number of peculiar insects, each the size of an ant, swiftly crawling.

“Hehehe, at last, I have gathered enough.”

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Atop the Altar, the Artifact Heart Sect’s Golden Core elder, who had been the Sect Master’s True Disciple, now stood hunched over the Altar with a strange smile on his face.

His back was swelling with an alarming bulge.

Something within the bulge was thrashing about.

“Master… Look!”

“What you failed to do before, I am now about to achieve for you.”

“I will create a being worthy of rivaling that Blood God!”

“And with such a being, the Artifact Heart Sect… will surely continue to survive the upcoming great changes!”

“So, it is worth the sacrifice for this, isn’t it, Master? You would have wanted it this way, wouldn’t you?”

“And you will rest satisfied, knowing I have honored your great teachings!”

This True Disciple looked at the Sect Master of the Artifact Heart Sect, coughing and laughing strangely.

Then, as he took out three sticks of sandalwood from his Storage Spirit Artifact and bowed in all four directions before placing them on the Altar.
