C.3457: The Three Immortal Emperors

“Just a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal? And I had thought he was an Immortal Monarch at the very least,” one of the Immortal Monarchs from the three organisations said softly with a smear of disappointment. Shortly afterwards, he waved his hand at the old man from the Water-splitting sect and said nonchalantly, “Immortal Monarch of Mountains and Rivers, given our past friendship, I’ll give you a warning. Leave this place immediately. It’s best if your Water-splitting sect doesn’t learn about what happens here.”

“Just treat it like nothing has happened here at all.”

“I understand, I understand. I know nothing of what happened here. No, I wasn’t even here today.” The old man from the Water-splitting sect immediately smiled, but when his gaze swept past the various formations here, he began to think inside, “You’ve gone to such great lengths, yet you don’t want anyone to know? Do you think that’s even possible?” From the corner of his eye, he scanned past the many immortals that left the mausoleum in an orderly fashion before departing silently.

Very soon, the mausoleum was cleared out. All the immortals that did not belong to the three organisations had left the place. However, they did not travel far. They wandered around nearby, staring at the depths of the mausoleum as they burst into discussion. Many of their eyes burned with undisguised greed and interest.

Among the crowd, three middle-aged men gathered together. They were two Xuan Immortals and a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal. They also stared at the depths of the mausoleum, secretly communicating with one another.

“Is the Immortal Emperor’s legacy that has lasted for several hundred thousand years finally going to emerge? We can’t let the three organisations of the Immortal Region of Green Plains obtain it so easily. Our Immortal Sect of Great Peace from the Immortal Region of Wondrous Sound has been secretly eying this place for several hundred thousand years too. Now that the sword formation has been breached, it’s time for us to take action too.”

“Contact the great elder immediately. Whether we interfere or not is for the great elders and ancestors to decide. The three organisations from the Immortal Region of Green Plains are very powerful, but we don’t fear them.”

The three middle-aged men from the Immortal Sect of Great Peace were just about to send the message.

But at this moment, three threads of energy shot over with lightning speed, immediately piercing their heads and killing them on the spot.

The one behind it was the Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Sect of White Clouds. He enveloped the surroundings with the senses of his soul. Even the strongest in the surroundings were only Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals, so none of their messages escaped his senses.

A white bead hovered before the Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Sect of White Clouds. The three threads of light came from the white bead.

“There are many scouts from other organisations among these people. We might as well kill them all,” the Immortal Emperor of White Clouds said. He spoke like he was putting forward a suggestion, but before the two other Immortal Emperors could answer, he immediately pointed at the white bead gently with a finger.

Immediately, the white bead shone with blinding light. Countless threads of energy shot out, forming a huge net before piercing the foreheads of many immortals.

In just three seconds, the several tens of thousand immortals that wandered around in the surroundings all died to the white threads. Their corpses began to fall out of the air like rain.

The Luofu Immortal Emperor furrowed his brows and said, “Some of these people are disciples from peak organisations. Even if they’re low-level disciples, this does seem a little inappropriate.”

“What else are we supposed to do? Let alone the fact that the peak organisations probably won’t come asking for revenge over a few low-level disciples, even if they do, are we supposed to be afraid of them?” the Immortal Emperor of White Clouds said with indifference. He did not let this bother him at all.

In response to that, the Luofu Immortal Emperor raised an eyebrow as if he had just remembered something. After that, he said nothing more. Instead, he took a step and directly entered the mausoleum, arriving before the sword formation.

Shortly afterwards, the two other Immortal Emperors entered the mausoleum as well, standing beside the Luofu Immortal Emperor.

“Shut the formation!”

Shortly afterwards, all the formations around the mausoleum were closed. Only the three Immortal Emperors remained inside.

Outside, the many disciples of their three organisations maintained the formation, providing it with endless energy. The three Immortal Emperors could freely control the formations from inside.

......

At the same time, Jian Chen sat on the ground on the highest floor of the divine hall inside the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation. He sank into a lengthy period of silence. He had already learnt far too much information from the deceased Immortal Emperor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He was slowly digesting it all right now.

What truly gave him a heavy heart was the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ decline. They had actually reached such a miserable state.

At the same time, the organisations in the Immortals’ World targetting the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens brought him chills as well.

In the past, when war erupted between the Saints’ World and the Immortals’ World, the difference in strength was very great. In order to reduce the loss in their peak manpower, the old master of the twin swords stooped to the level of releasing the twin swords to kill many experts from the Saints’ World.

It was also because of his actions that the Immortals’ World managed to preserve many of their Immortal Emperors and Immortal Exalts. It also saved many organisations and legacies of the Immortals’ World.

Yet in the end, with the old master’s passing, some organisations of the Immortals’ World had instead turned their eyes towards the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, beginning to devour it step by step. They went after the genius disciples and upper echelon of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, which was simply heinous.

For a moment, Jian Chen struggled to keep his killing intent under control. He was tempted to skin them alive and give them a horrible death.

These organisations of the Immortals’ World had truly reached the limits of ungratefulness.

“The Immortal Sect of Luofu, the Immortal Sect of Yuqing, and the Immortal Sect of White Clouds… Don’t worry, senior Taihang. I’ll avenge you!” A cold voice rang out from between Jian Chen’s teeth as he ground them. He made no attempt to hide his killing intent.

The Immortal Emperor who perished here was called Taihang. Unfortunately, far too much time had passed since he died. Jian Chen could only momentarily communicate with him through the Soul-viewing technique. He was no longer able to send him into rebirth.

There were also some limitations to sending people into rebirth. One of them was that they could not be dead for too long.

Jian Chen stood up slowly. He arrived at the end of the divine hall. A throne stood there silently with a formation disc hovering above it.

The formation disc was the core of the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation.

The Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation could not be forcefully destroyed from the outside. It could only be targetted from the inside. As long as the formation disc was destroyed, the Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation would immediately collapse.

In the past, the owner of the divine hall, Immortal Emperor Taihang, was not bold enough to destroy the formation disc, but Jian Chen did not have this worry at all.

“Senior Taihand and all the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens that perished here, you don’t deserve to rest here. I will bring you all back to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, where you will be buried properly,” Jian Chen whispered. He slowly raised his hand and pressed down gently on the formation disc.

In the next moment, terrifying energy erupted from his hand. The energy was so powerful that it immediately surpassed the formation disc’s limits. In the end, the formation disc shattered with a bang.

The Cosmic Orbit Sword Formation directly vanished. The divine hall that had been protected by the formation for several hundred thousand years was finally exposed before the three Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Region of Green Plains.

The three Immortal Emperors’ eyes lit up. They glanced at each other excitedly.

Right when they were about to enter the divine hall, it suddenly opened up. A young man in white clothes walked out step by step frostily.
