Chapter 3660: Successful Infiltration (One)
Jian Chen exited the Primeval Divine Hall and continued to lay in hiding outside the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, searching for an opportunity to infiltrate the place.
With the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race and the Divine Armour of Heavenflight covering him, he hid flawlessly. Even Immortal Exalts would struggle to discover him.
However, as he lay in hiding, Jian Chen would regularly send a wisp of his soul into the Primeval Divine Hall, secretly observing the construction of the sect inside, as well as collecting a large amount of soil from the outside world and moving it into the Primeval Divine Hall.
In just a few days, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had already developed the rough shape of a sect. Many disciples that possessed a certain level of mastery over smithing began to choose materials and forge various mountain-shaped immortal artifacts.
Because they were low quality immortal artifacts, they were forged extremely quickly. With sufficient materials around, several thousand mountains were forged very quickly. Then the disciples arranged them on the land in a fitting manner.
It seemed like a true mountain range, radiating with a hefty aura like dragons and tigers.
The empty mountains were also sprinkled with the seeds of some plants. In just a few days, they became lush with greenery, radiating with life.
The buildings and paths that originally stood in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens were moved inside by the disciples as well. They were reconstructed according to the same layout as the sect before.
Under elder Nong’s supervision, the various facilities like the Hall of Cultivation Methods, the Pavilion of Scriptures, the Tower of Smithing, the Tower of Alchemy, the sparring grounds, the medicinal gardens, and so on were all set up in an orderly fashion.
A complete sect was gradually taking shape.
Jian Chen could not help but smile as he saw the daily changes of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
……
…
The Immortal Feather sect was not located among the thirty-three heavens but a certain part of the vast outer space. They had carved open a miniature world through the use of their great abilities.
At this moment, within a majestic divine hall inside the miniature world of the Immortal Feather sect, one of the ancestors of the Immortal Feather sect, the Wayless Immortal Exalt, levitated mid-air with his legs crossed as he stared at a youthful woman before him.
The woman only seemed to be in her twenties. She possessed enchanting beauty that could not be described with words.
At this moment, she sat before the Wayless Immortal Exalt with her eyes shut. Rings of ancient glyphs hovered around her, radiating with the profound presence of ways.
This beautiful woman was also one of the ancestors of the Immortal Feather sect. She was known as the Azure Feather Immortal Exalt!
The Wayless Immortal Exalt stared straight at the Azure Feather Immortal Exalt like he was waiting for something.
He had already remained like that for several days now.
Finally, at this moment, the profound glyphs on the Azure Feather Immortal Exalt dissipated slowly, and she opened her eyes.
When she opened her eyes, it was as if the entire world became filled with light. It felt as if she had bestowed the world with many colours through her gaze alone.
“Azure Feather, did you find anything? Have you found where this person is located?” The Wayless Immortal Exalt’s eyes shone as he stared at the Azure Feather Immortal Exalt in interest.
The Azure Feather Immortal Exalt shook her head. She opened her hand. A fleck of skin even smaller than a speck of dust hovered there. “I can’t find this person. Even when I use my innate ability, I can’t.”
When he heard that, the Wayless Immortal Exalt’s expression immediately became ugly.
“Wayless, if finding this person is so important to you, you can always try the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. The person you’re looking for probably has significant origins. Either his background is frightening, or he’s protected by extremely powerful treasures, or he’s an existence that I can’t find any traces of. Even if you ask the Soaring Immortal Ancestor, you’ll probably achieve nothing,” the Azure Feather Immortal Exalt said calmly. Her voice was crisp and moving. It was very pleasant to the ear, enough to dispel all the gloominess within a person’s heart.
When he heard her mention the Soaring Immortal Ancestor, the Wayless Immortal Exalt immediately became troubled. The Soaring Immortal Ancestor was the greatest expert of the Immortal Feather sect. He was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, and the Immortal Exalts of the Immortals’ World referred to him as the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor.
Where was he supposed to find the courage to disturb the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor over such a small trifle?
“Since we can’t find any information regarding this person, then we’ll follow the clues and search for him. Hmph, this person cultivates the Chaotic Body and he’s also grasped the Laws of the Sword and the Laws of Space. Apart from him, probably no one else in the entire Immortals’ World matches those characteristics,” the Wayless Immortal Exalt said coldly. He stowed away the fleck of skin that was even smaller than a speck of dust and left.
……
…
In the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants on the Reverent Observance Heaven, four Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants gathered together in a high quality god artifact divine hall.
There were a total of five branches within the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. The four Immortal Emperors represented four of the five branches. Each person served as the leader of their branch. Even the weakest was an Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.
As for the fifth branch, the mix-blooded branch, they faced the combined suppression of the four other branches ever since Dao Wuxue of the mix-blooded branch lost a large number of experts in an attempt to rescue Xiang Shi. Not only did they lose all of their status within the sect, but even their right to partake in the discussions was revoked. They were no longer capable of interfering with sect affairs.
“The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has moved their sect. Regardless of whether this is true or not, I feel like we should investigate this matter,” Xiang Zhiping, who had already reached the Eighth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor, spoke up.
“A thousand years ago, our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants lost a large number of experts. Even Dao Wuxue as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor did not return. We’ve always suspected this to be done by the person behind the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, but over the years, we’ve never been able to find out exactly which organisation stands behind the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Now that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has moved their sect, perhaps we should use this opportunity to investigate where they’ve gone.” Xiang Zhan, who represented the fourth branch, also spoke up.
“They’ve suddenly moved their sect for no good reason. Apart from running off to their secret patrons, I struggle to imagine where else the wretched remnants of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens could go. Perhaps we can find out who the person behind them is through the movements of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens,” Xiang Zhiping said. The significant loss a thousand years ago caused bone-piercing pain to the entire Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.
“I think we should wait until the ancestors return and give the matter further thought then. The ancestors aren’t around, so we shouldn’t be so reckless,” the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor Xiang Zhiru said cautiously. Clearly, he had his qualms.
Xiang Zhan frowned slightly and said sternly, “Who knows when the ancestors will return. By the time we wait until the ancestors have returned, perhaps the wretched remnants of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will have sought refuge under one of the courts of heaven already. By then, how will we get our revenge?”
“A court of heaven might not necessarily be standing behind the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. We don’t have to imagine that the enemy’s background is so powerful right from the beginning. Perhaps the sect master only has the support of a slightly more powerful Immortal Exalt, but because of how significant the implications are, or perhaps due to other reasons, it requires the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to sell us this information. However, after a thousand years of collected thought, I do find it quite absurd that we’ve been frightened into holing up here over a piece of unclear information that hasn’t been verified. We are the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants after all, a renowned peak organisation on the Reverent Observance Heaven. Also, we have the Sacred Beast clan behind us. It’s possible to say that in the Immortals’ World, only our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is allowed to harass others. No one is allowed to harass us.”
“That may be the case, but you can’t go wrong with being a little more careful. After all, we also have enemies lurking in the shadows. Now that the ancestors aren’t around, we should be even more careful.”
The four experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants debated fiercely. After a series of clashes in ideas, they still ended up deciding to send out some experts and investigate the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.
