Chapter 896 – Secrets of the Xuan Heavenly Sect
“Evil Devil!”
The young Dharma Transmitter looked at the evil smile that appeared on the other party’s face, shocked, fearful and angry, he couldn’t help but rebuke.
However, his movements betrayed what he was truly thinking inside.
Black spectral light flowed and enveloped his body.
Space seemed to be cut apart as the youth slowly sank into nothingness, his figure slowly becoming dim.
“I can feel the fear in your heart.”
“Why are you running away? What are you afraid of?”
The Dharma King of the Xuan Heavenly Sect gazed at the youth in front of him and whispered.
“Face your heart straight ……”
“Let you ……”
“Return to your true self ……”
The words of the Dharma King of the Xuan Heavenly Sect seemed to contain some sort of strange power.
As he chanted in a low voice, a transparent dividing line suddenly appeared between him and the young Dharma Preacher.
The two ends of the dividing line were like the worlds inside and outside the mirror, corresponding and identical to each other.
The figures of the Xuan Heavenly Sect’s Dharma King and the young Dharma preacher instantly overlapped each other.
In that instant, a black ghostly light that was identical to the one cast by the young Dharma preacher also appeared around the Dharma King of the Xuan Heavenly Sect!
It was as if he was truly the youth’s mirror image!
Even after the youth saw this and revealed an increasingly terrified expression, the same look appeared on his face!
The dividing line between the two brightened by a few points.
A moment later, it was as if the area between them was excised. The Xuan Heavenly Sect’s Dharma King and the young Dharma Preacher were much closer.
“You forced me!” Unspeakable palpitations welled up in the youth’s heart as he gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice.
Afterwards, a thin golden thread drilled out from his brow.
This thin thread seemed to have a unique power.
It was not able to be duplicated by the Dharma King of the Xuan Heavenly Sect.
The mirror world that was formed did not reveal the image of the golden thin thread. Thus, there was a slight disharmony.
Slightly trembling, the mirror world was in jeopardy.
Even the figure of the Dharma King of the Xuan Heavenly Sect became slightly blurred.
“You and I are originally one.”
“Do you hate yourself so much? The need to utilize such treasures?”
“Why is that so?”
……
At the critical moment, the murmuring voice of the Xuan Heavenly Sect’s Dharma King resounded in the youth’s ears once again.
The youth’s expression went from grim, to somewhat confused, and finally slowly calmed down.
And that thin golden thread, surprisingly, retracted back into his brow.
The distance between him and the Xuan Tian Sect’s Dharma King shrunk once again.
“Having survived for a long time, the road ahead is hopeless. I can feel the uncertainty and unwillingness within you ……”
“After regaining your true self, you’ll inspire your hidden supreme potential. There is hope for the Great Dao ……”
As the Dharma King of the Xuan Tian Sect kept whispering.
The youth became closer and closer to him as well.
In the end, it was only a dividing line that separated them.
The two looked at each other with identical expressions on their faces.
There was no more fear or confusion, only the joy of enlightenment remained.
The dividing line erupted in a burst of intense light.
The next moment it disappeared without a trace.
The world in the mirror, and with it, descended into reality!
The figures of the youth and the Dharma King of the Xuan Tian Sect overlapped completely.
Only the youth Dharma Preacher remained in the field!
After completing the fusion, the youth Dharma Preacher stood still in the air with his eyes closed.
It seemed as if he was digesting the vast information in his mind.
“Heavenly Dharma Transmitter? Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?”
Shortly afterward, he suddenly opened his eyes, his expression seeming somewhat puzzled.
“I didn’t realize that even in this era, they still have precautions against our Xuan Heavenly Sect.”
“Punish the Xuan Mysteries ……”
The “Young Preacher of the Law” snorted coldly, “I don’t know who gave them the confidence, after thousands of years have passed, the content of the secret law is actually still set in stone.”
“Really underestimating us a bit too much.”
Along with the youth’s words, his aura changed subtly.
“This should be able to conceal it, as long as we don’t cast the secret techniques of the sect.”
The youth nodded with some satisfaction.
And then, some doubts surfaced on his face.
“It wasn’t discovered occasionally, but was guided here ……”
“Recruiting with the name of our Xuan Tian Sect, and even knowing my location ……”
“After being exposed, the scourge was led directly to the east.”
“Cong Yun Mutual Aid Association, Red Dust Mercy Immortal?”
In a split second, the truth of the matter was restored based on the information he had.
The young man who had been counted on did not move in anger, but instead looked grave as he recalled the faceless Xuan Heavenly God statue that had appeared in the intelligence.
He slightly pinched his fingers, and then a look of shock appeared on his face, “Actually unable to sense the location?”
“But it is indeed the Xuan Heavenly God Statue all right.”
The color of doubt in the youth’s eyes grew stronger.
“Can’t it be that it’s the handiwork of one of the brethren within the sect?”
“Speaking of which, this style of acting does seem like something our Xuan Heavenly Sect congregation would do.”
A possible face flashed through the youth’s mind.
“Knowing that the East Window has come to light and things can no longer be dealt with, that’s why you’re thinking of borrowing my hand to put this matter to rest?”
“It seems that this brother, most likely, has also just recently awakened.”
There was no doubt in the youth’s mind as to why the other party did not choose to meet.
Back then, the Immortal Dao’s ten clans had taken advantage of Heavenly King Xuan’s critical moment of seclusion to storm out. In one fell swoop, they broke the Xuan Heavenly Sect.
The time node chosen for this could be considered coincidental.
Even the distribution of the defense forces in the sect, and even the loopholes in the protective spell formations, were all well known.
The protection system was shaped like a sham.
Caught off guard, Xuan Tian Sect suffered a great defeat.
Heavy casualties.
The whereabouts of the Xuan Heavenly King and the supreme treasure, the Xuan Heavenly Treasure Mirror, were unknown, and all the Dharma Kings were also dead and injured.
Obviously, this battle was lost so thoroughly that there must have been a traitor in the sect.
Moreover, it was even possible that there wasn’t even one.
That’s why all the Dharma Kings who survived were extremely cautious.
Aside from the Xuan Heavenly King, they didn’t trust anyone.
This included the youth himself.
“Back then, before the Heavenly King disappeared, he sent out a message with a secret method, telling us to hibernate and preserve our own lives first.”
“Wait for his call.”
“It’s a pity that after all these years, there’s still no news.”
Even so, the youth did not have the slightest doubt as to whether or not the Xuan Heavenly King still survived in the world.
Back then, after the battle between the Xuan Heavenly Sect and the Heavenly Capital, although the Xuan Heavenly King had suffered a considerable amount of injuries.
However, he had also forcibly stolen some of the other party’s Immortal Spirit Qi, and was expected to achieve the body of a True Immortal.
The Xuan Heavenly King’s seclusion that time was precisely for this reason.
“As long as I can remodel my immortal body in the lower realms, I will be able to lead my brothers out of this [Sea of Supreme Darkness Stars].”
The youth still vaguely remembered Xuan Heavenly King’s grandiose words before his seclusion.
This was also the reason why after so many years had passed, the youth had still not chosen to rebel against the sect.
Thousands of years, to him, was merely sleeping slightly longer.
But if the endless years to come were to remain trapped here, that would be true despair.
That was why he was puzzled by the fact that someone would choose to rebel against the sect in the first place.
After so many years, the only reasonable explanation he could come up with was that the Immortal Dao’s ten sects had similarly promised a way to escape from the [Supreme Dark Star Sea].
And it was even more reliable than the Xuan Heavenly King’s proposal.
Originally, the youth did not believe it.
But after receiving the full memories of this Dharma Transmitter, he somewhat shook his judgment again.
This was because he had learned that when the Ten Sects of the Immortal Dao were descending from the Great Calamity in which the Dharma could not be cultivated in the same way, there had been a number of high-level cultivators who had disappeared in unison.
They had even taken away a considerable portion of the Xuan Huang Realm’s resources.
Their group had also never appeared in the Xuan Huang Realm since then.
“If that’s really the case, I’m afraid that those traitors have gotten away with it.”
A hint of killing intent flashed in the youth’s eyes.
“Without the power of a True Immortal, if one wants to escape to the Sea of Dark Stars, one is bound to pay an extremely painful price. It should be impossible to resurface.”
“That’s why my only hope of escaping is still with the Xuan Heavenly King.”
The youth was not worried about whether or not the Xuan Heavenly King might have already escaped before himself.
The Xuan Heavenly King practiced the Dao of [Words and Actions], and did not easily open his mouth to make promises.
If he has made a promise, he must fulfill it. Otherwise, he would be destroying his own path, and even if he achieved True Immortality, there was still the risk of falling to mortals.
Therefore, as long as he lives, he will definitely re-convene the Dharma Kings to fulfill the promise of that year.
If it wasn’t for this reason, the Xuan Heavenly King wouldn’t have been able to easily obtain the defection of twelve top-level cultivators back then just by relying on a three-inch tongue.
“If we find that faceless Xuan Heavenly Statue, we might be able to determine the location of the Xuan Heavenly King.”
The youth suddenly thought so.
The Xuan Heavenly Statue was not modeled after the Xuan Heavenly King’s own image.
Rather, it was modeled after the image of a True Immortal that the Xuan Heavenly King had encountered in the ascension passageway back then.
According to the Xuan Heavenly King, the aura exuded by that True Immortal was as vast as the mountains and seas.
Compared to him, this newly ascended Immortal was as small as a mole cricket.
At that time, he had just broken through the void and entered the ascension channel.
Before he could escape to the longed-for Immortal Realm, a terrifying roar came from afar.
The Xuan Heavenly King then saw a scene he would never forget.
From far to near, the ascension channels broke off one after another.
There were countless figures scrambling to escape, only to be sucked in by the terrifying black ruins.
There were even countless corpses falling from the cracks in the ascension passage.
In the Immortal Realm, an extremely terrifying disaster must have occurred!
The Xuan Heavenly King turned around and ran, not forgetting to casually scavenge the corpses of the Immortals he encountered on the way.
But the speed at which the ascension passageway was collapsing was clearly somewhat beyond his imagination.
He was about to fall into the black abyss just like the other ascendants.
A figure flashed by his side and casually gave him a hand.
Bringing him out of the broken spatial passage.
After the Xuan Heavenly King’s shock settled a bit, he then reacted and thanked the figure for saving his life.
That figure was clearly amongst the Immortals, and was also an existence with an extremely high cultivation level.
The Xuan Heavenly King was actually unable to see the other party’s appearance.
“Hurry up and escape, if you slow down, you’ll be too late.”
The Faceless True Immortal shook his head and left these words before disappearing.
Only the bewildered Xuan Tian Wang was left behind.
It wasn’t until much later that the Xuan Heavenly King was able to figure out what that Faceless True Immortal meant by fleeing in his mouth.
The ascension passageway had collapsed, and the path of immortality had been severed.
Only the existence called Immortal Ruins remained.
And it’s only at first that the impact of the Immortal Ruins on the Lower Realms has become apparent.
