The battle between Xu Fan and the Taoist sect has caused an imasurable impact, and even many of those involved have not realized the changes in themselves and the situation.
At the sa ti, without prior agreent, everyone's eyes were focused on the Taoist sect.
However, to everyone's surprise, the usually domineering Taoist sect fell into a strange silence and uttered not a word after suffering such a huge loss...
This scene left everyone dumbfounded.
A few days ago, the Taoist sect had just been ravaged by a terrifying Golden Ape, losing one of its five Immortal Mountains, and many were still worried about how to allocate five Supre Elders to only four mountains.
And now, with the single power of Xu Fan, he forcefully killed three of the Taoist sect's Supre Elders, leaving only two. The strength of the Taoist sect has fallen to its lowest point in a thousand years!
Even more fatal is their influence!
The Taoist sect acted extrely domineeringly, suppressing dissent with thunderous force, all for the sake of influence!
But now, the Taoist sect has unexpectedly given up its influence and has endured silently, which is shocking for everyone!
So people were amazed, finding it unbelievable and assuming Xu Fan was lucky, while more people's long-silent thoughts began to flicker...
The Hidden World Families were purged by Xu Fan, the Taoist sect fell silent, the Buddhist Sect closed its doors, and the Heavenly Witch Sect remained isolated, leaving only an empty shell. The power dynamics of the Cultivation World were thrown into chaos, many ambitious eyes opened, and like beasts on the prowl, they were restless.
...
The Taoist sect's Immortal Mountain.
In the forbidden area, a grand hall was tightly shut.
In the past few days, the Cultivation World in Huaxia was like a tsunami wave, with ambitious individuals stirring restlessly, and naturally, the Taoist sect was in chaos.
However, no matter how indignant and angry the sect mbers were, even the two remaining Supre Elders could not suppress their fury. Yet the grand hall remained tightly shut, and the people inside never erged.
Thus, the anger dissipated and transford into intense fear.
The person in the grand hall was now the Taoist sect's only dependence! If even that person feared Xu Fan and didn't co out, who in the entire Taoist sect could oppose Xu Fan? If Xu Fan were to co looking for vengeance, how long could the remaining two Supre Elders hold him off?
One by one, the sect mbers were on edge, fearing Xu Fan's arrival.
Yet, what everyone didn't know was that inside the grand hall, their reliance—the only remaining non-reclusive elder of the Taoist sect—as well as the two remaining Supre Elders, were not anxious or fearful at all. Instead, they knelt on the ground with devout expressions.
Above them was a lifelike statue of the True Martial Deity, eyes closed, vivid under the light.
"Greetings, Heavenly Venerable!"
The trio's devout deanor seed like they were worshipping a divine figure, and their voices echoed eerily in the empty grand hall.
Monts later, a strangely eerie and even horrifying scene unfolded, as the statue with closed eyes suddenly opened them, appearing as if it had co to life!
"Where is Ming Yu? Why do you summon ?"
If outsiders heard this, they would surely be shocked, for Ming Yu was the na of the Taoist sect's Sect Leader, the person of highest status within the sect. Yet this statue addressed him directly by na!
The identity of this statue was even more terrifying than that of the Taoist sect's Sect Leader!
The two Supre Elders knelt firmly on the ground, heads down, not daring to lift their gaze, while an elderly man with a youthful face and white hair, the sect's elder, respectfully raised his head and said, "Reporting to the Heavenly Venerable, the Sect Leader entered a life-and-death retreat ten years ago. Upon erging, he will break through to the Kai Yang Realm, joining the Tian Shu Realm as invincible in the Mortal World! At the crucial mont, he cannot co to et the Heavenly Venerable."
"The five senior brothers are also in retreat, and upon breaking through, they will enter Tian Shu."
The Taoist sect has five Supre Elders, six if including the Sect Leader, all of the sa generation, while the elder generation is also six strong.
"Tian Shu Realm?"
Among the Nine Realms of Mysterious Light, the Tian Shu Realm is incredibly strong, even invincible in the Mortal World, yet in the statue's words, it carried a hint of amusent.
"I rember now, the Tian Shu Realm should be at the level of Earth Immortal. You've summoned to prepare for this?"
Such words from the statue, if spoken outside, would surely cause an uproar and shock many people, but the three in the hall seed accustod to it, their respect and fervor in their eyes growing even stronger.
"Reporting to the Heavenly Venerable, it's not for preparation, but rather…the Celestial Plan has changed! More unforeseen variables have appeared! The disciple was worried about causing a mishap and therefore..."
"Variables?"
The statue's tone turned sowhat serious for the first ti, perhaps piqued by the word "variables," or perhaps the Celestial Plan was so crucial that variables were not permissible.
A terrifying pressure followed, not intentional, but a natural emanation from a superior being.
The three were terrified, and they kowtowed repeatedly, begging for rcy, and only then did the pressure dissipate.
Without waiting for the statue to speak, the Taoist elder quickly began to report, "Reporting to the Heavenly Venerable, there are three variables. The first is the change in the ruins. The restrictions on the ruins collapsed, unleashing two demon beasts sealed a thousand years ago, and the Beast Taming Art of the Myriad Beasts Sect was stolen by a thief nad Xu Fan! Upon discovering the incident, I went to the ruins to observe, and it seed the two demon beasts' ability to break the restrictions was sohow linked to Xu Fan."
"The second variable is a Golden Ape demon beast that broke through to the Kai Yang Realm and charged into our Taoist sect, demanding we hand over Xu Fan. The five senior brothers and the Sect Leader were in seclusion, so I, concerned about impacting the Celestial Plan, and realizing I fell for Xu Fan's trick again, turned to placate and allied with the Golden Ape."
"The third variable…"
At this point, the Taoist elder was sweating profusely, as the aura casually released by the statue made him extrely uneasy.
However, since the statue did not speak, the Taoist elder had no choice but to continue reporting, "The third variable is again that thief Xu Fan. Yesterday, attempting to maintain our sect's dignity, I sent three Supre Elders with the Immortal Sword Qing Niao to kill him, only to fall for his trick again. The three Supre Elders perished, and Qing Niao's whereabouts remain unknown, causing tens of thousands of casualties among the cultivators of Huaxia…"
Finally finished reporting, the three kowtowed, sweating profusely, not daring to make a sound.
"Qing Niao… enough."
The statue finally sighed, and from its tone, it was apparent that the three Supre Elders' deaths, the tens of thousands of cultivator deaths, and even the frequently ntioned Xu Fan, were not as important as Qing Niao.
"When the Celestial Plan is executed, I shall send an Earth Immortal to descend to the Mortal World and ensure that all goes without a hitch."
With that, the statue closed its eyes again, and the imnse pressure dissipated as if it was all a dream.
The Taoist elder raised his head and finally breathed a sigh of relief, only then realizing his clothes were completely soaked with sweat.
