Chapter 3789: The Space-purging Ancestor
The man was also dressed in white robes. He did not seem particularly old, roughly in his early twenties. He possessed a handsome and striking appearance, with an extraordinary presence.
However, his eyes were filled with a sense of sombre that conflicted with his appearance.
The young man was one of the three ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, the Space-purging Ancestor.
He was a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt!
“I never expected this. When I lent the Heaven-locking Chains to the Void-perceiving Ancestor, I originally thought he would destroy the Immortal Rising City with the Wukun Master, yet he’s met a bad end instead and my Heaven-locking Chains have ended up in the hands of another person,” the Space-purging Ancestor said sternly. His face was rather sunken. “However, my Heaven-locking Chains aren’t that easy to just take for yourself.”
“Senior brother Space-purging, if it were you instead, how long would it take for you to kill the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master alone?” the Flying Leaf Ancestor suddenly asked.
“I grasp the Way of Space. Before me, the two of them have no chance to escape. As for how long it’ll take before I kill the two of them, there are too many factors to consider, so I can’t give an exact time,” the Space-purging Ancestor said in thought.
“But according to the report made by Xia Zhilai and the others following their investigation, the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master both suddenly vanished in just a few minutes,” the Flying Leaf Ancestor said.
“Even you are saying that they’ve only vanished. Since their corpses aren’t around, they might not have perished. There’s also the possibility that they’re trapped somewhere or are inside some kind of powerful treasure.” The Space-purging Ancestor’s eyes shimmered coldly. He said confidently, “However, those methods may be enough to trap the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master, but they definitely can’t trap me.”
“But regardless, there is something that we can be certain about. The person who went after the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master is anything but weak. They’re at the Third Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt at the very least.”
“An expert like that is not someone that you can deal with, junior sister Flying Leaf, so I plan on paying a visit to the Immortal Rising city personally.”
The Space-purging Ancestor gazed into the distance, looking in the direction of the Immortal Rising City. The space in his eyes seemed to rapidly change. Scenery flashed by before reflecting a towering city in the end.
“Ancestor, the Violet Lotus Fairy wishes to meet with you!” At this moment, the voice of the child who brought Xia Zhilai and Fang Ziguang over rang out again outside the door.
The Violet Lotus Fairy was the holy maiden of the Void-perceiving sect, but she had already become a member of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. Her husband truly possessed exceptional status in the sect. His great grandfather was the strongest of the three ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, the Transcension Ancestor!
It was also because of her husband that the Violet Lotus Fairy possessed exceptional status in the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.
The Flying Leaf Ancestor sighed gently and said, “This girl tried seeking an audience with me several times before already. It must be for the destruction of the Void-perceiving sect.”
The Space-purging Ancestor’s face was filled with malice. He growled and said, “Get her to piss off! As far away as she should! For the sake of the shitty Void-perceiving sect, our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment has lost two treasures. Even my Heaven-locking Chains have ended up in the hands of another, and I have to pay a personal visit to retrieve it.”
“If it weren’t for the fact that her husband is senior brother Transcension’s most beloved great grandson, I’d skin her alive.”
“Junior brother Space-purging, please calm down. After all, no one forced you to lend out the Heaven-locking Chains. You offered it up yourself.” An elderly voice rang out from the highest part of the tower at this moment.
The Space-purging Ancestor snorted gently and said nothing more.
“Senior brother Transcension, how are you going with forging that treasure?” the Flying Leaf Ancestor asked.
“I’ve already reached a critical juncture, so I cannot afford to go anywhere right now. I already know about what happened in the Immortal Rising City. You’ll have to tend to this matter personally, junior brother Space-purging. You have to retrieve the two high quality god artifacts of our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.”
The elderly voice rang out.
“You don’t say. The Heaven-locking Chains is my handiest item. If he doesn’t return it, he can’t blame me for taking things a little far,” the Space-purging Ancestor said coldly. His eyes shone with intense killing intent.
“Do not be careless. This is a secondary banner of the Fiend Soul Banners. It can disturb the soul. Even with my cultivation, I am still affected by it. Take it with you just in case.”
“Remember, this is a demonic object. Many members of the orthodox of the Immortals’ World cannot allow something like this to exist, so do not use it unless you run out of choices. Once you do use it, leave none alive.” The Transcension Ancestor’s voice rang out. A small, black banner appeared before the Space-purging Ancestor. All of its presence was contained within, hidden away perfectly. It did not seem like a demonic object at all.
“Brother, the Fiend Soul Banners are for dealing with the War sect. They’re a set of extremely outstanding weapons. I’m only going to the Immortal Rising City to retrieve our Energy-devouring Furnace and Heaven-locking Chains this time. There’s no need for me to take a Fiend Soul Banner with me,” the Space-purging Ancestor said with furrowed brows.
“Even if you don’t use it, you should carry it with you. After all, if you possess this item, it’s another powerful trump card for you.” The Transcension Ancestor continued, “There’s a primary banner and two secondary banners to the Fiend Soul Banners. My original plans were for junior sister Flying Leaf and you to wield a secondary banner each as I wield the primary banner. When the time comes, our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment will not have to dispatch any other experts. Just the three of us will be enough to kill our way over to the War sect and make them bleed.”
“As a result, this secondary banner would end up in your possession sooner or later.”
“The old bastard from the War sect is a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. Senior brother Transcension, are we really able to destroy the War sect with the Fiend Soul Banners?” the Flying Leaf Ancestor asked. Her voice trembled slightly, containing some excitement and anticipation.
The War sect was the most powerful organisation on the Hall Brilliance Heaven. They also had three ancestors, which were a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, and a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt!
“Yes!” the Transcension Ancestor answered confidently, clearly with everything under his control.
“Brother, how much longer do you need until the Fiend Soul Banners are completely forged? I’ve already become a little impatient to destroy the War sect.” The Space-purging Ancestor’s eyes burned with interest.
“The two secondary banners have already been forged successfully. It all comes down to the most important primary banner now. However, the primary banner has also reached a critical moment in its forging. Perhaps in another ten thousand years, we’ll be able to go after the War sect,” said the Transcension ancestor.
“Hahahaha, once the War sect is destroyed, we will reign over the Hall Brilliance Heaven. We will rise up as the greatest organisation of this heaven.” The Flying Leaf Ancestor laughed aloud.
“Our primary objective for destroying the War sect is not to become the greatest organisation on the Hall Brilliance Heaven but to avenge our master!” The Space-purging Ancestor recalled the past and demonstrated a hint of reminiscence and mixed emotion. He murmured, “Before I knew it, several million years already passed. Out of all of the seniors and juniors from back then, only the three of us remain, while we have also gone from the Immortal Emperors of the past to Immortal Exalts of the present. Even the sect’s strength is growing with each passing day.”
“It’s about time we avenge our master. Otherwise, once that old bastard from the War sect breaks through and reaches the Seventh Heavenly Layer, our chances of revenge will be even slimmer.”
“It’s much easier said than done. Just how easy can it be to reach the Seventh Heavenly Layer? Otherwise, that old bastard from the War sect would not have remained at the Sixth Heavenly Layer for several million years without making progress. Without sufficiently impressive good fortune or encounters, that old bastard will remain at the Sixth Heavenly Layer for the rest of his life.” The Transcension Ancestor sneered.
“Let’s not talk about the War sect anymore. I’ll pay a visit to the Immortal Rising City first and retrieve the Energy-devouring Furnace and the Heaven-locking Chains.”
With that, the Space-purging Ancestor vanished.
