All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes-Chapter 962 - 241: The Art of Martial Artist’s Greetings (1/3)

"Is the Immortal Fall controlled by the Shangxuan Sect?"

"Prince De, is this true?"

As soon as Prince De spoke, the crowd below erupted into chaos. If it weren’t for the Great Chen Array guarding this place, the messengers of various sects might have overturned the surrounding streets in their excitement.

[I have reliable intelligence to prove this point.]

Prince De’s tone was undeniably firm. Simultaneously, he raised his hand, and the talismanic formation paths from the jade book appeared in the air, vaguely outlining the structure of a great formation’s remnants: [This was discovered within the great formation of the Bright Mirror Sect’s mountain gate, drawn by an infiltrator from the Shangxuan Sect. Once activated, it will introduce a heavenly spirit into the body, leading to Immortal Fall!]

[Once this formation is activated, it will self-destruct. If not for the guilty conscience of a Shangxuan infiltrator within the Bright Mirror Sect who halted the operation of the great formation, the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent would have seen the emergence of an Immortal Fallen Martial Artist nearly reaching the Lingxiao realm!]

The formation patterns circulated, flickering with the light of pure spirit. Though they appeared extremely mysterious and enticing, they caused all the fearless martial artists present to turn pale and take a step back.

Although it was impossible to identify in a short time, given Prince De’s actions, it was surely true, because if they sent this information back to their sects for verification and found it to be false, the Great Chen Imperial Court’s reputation would be ruined.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Prince De, though tense inside, also let out a long sigh of relief. At this moment, he maintained a stern demeanor and said in a solemn voice: [The matter of Immortal Fall is originally a heavenly retribution. I am not accusing that all Immortal Falls in the Embracing the Void Realm are the work of the Shangxuan Sect, but Immortal Fall has always been a personal matter, caused by the obsession with ancient Immortal Dao techniques leading to deviation.]

[Therefore, it can also be said that all large-scale Immortal Falls, causing disturbances in one continent, allowing ’outsiders’ to profit, are likely orchestrated by the Shangxuan Sect!]

[Furthermore, there might be hidden plots behind a small number of Nine States’ Talents who fell into Immortal Fall while researching ancient classics?]

[I can’t help but ask, just how many ’coincidences’ has the Shangxuan Sect caused?!]

The words of the Town King resonated with the heavens and echoed throughout the cloud-capped mountains and seas.

This declaration and question agitated all the martial artists present—ordinarily, such accusations involving the Heavenly Ancestors, which generally lack evidence, wouldn’t be so aggressive and relentless. It wouldn’t be voiced by someone like the Great Chen Town Prince, who holds significant power akin to a second-tier Heavenly Ancestor.

For similar accusations, most Heavenly Ancestors have said them to one another, and if reconciliation or cover-up is desired, they can brush it off as mere talk.

But now, given Prince De’s attitude, aligning with the Imperial Court’s stance, it was clear there was no intention to let things go and they’d resolved to confront head-on!

As for the reason... everyone actually understood!

News in this world spreads quickly among the Great Sects, not to mention the echoing sacred sound of the Great Dao from the Haotian Mirror that resounds throughout the heavens and earth.

In these few days, everyone learned that the Mingjing Taiming Sect, one of the eleven Upper Gates of the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent, waged sect warfare because of great meritorious achievements but was ultimately defeated by the Bright Mirror Sect.

The reason the Bright Mirror Sect could turn the tide in adversity was because they gained a... [Heavenly Mandate]!

This newly risen Heavenly Mandate [Nature Master] turns out to be An Jing, who previously claimed to be Huai Xu’s number one Divine Mandate Heaven’s Chosen. Although he appeared to be lying, that’s not the main point—Heavenly Mandate surpasses any number one Divine Mandate!

And this Heavenly Mandate happens to have a good relationship with Prince De. The person’s mother resides in the Northern Border under Prince De’s jurisdiction, and he himself is the Mountain Master of Heavenly Sword Mountain in Great Chen. The two sides have had numerous interactions in the past.

Although the Bright Mirror Sect has ascended to an Upper Gate, their foundation is not deep enough. Although they obtained dirt on the Shangxuan Sect, they dared not report it recklessly and thus handed it over to an acquaintance, Prince De, to be addressed by the Great Chen Imperial Court, which is quite reasonable.

One should know, not long ago, the Great Chen Imperial Court had a public opinion battle with the Shangxuan Sect, with actual confrontations occurring multiple times. Amidst the Mingjing Taiming conflict, Great Chen, Shangxuan, and mysterious forces like Lingxiao clashed across the Heavenly Sea, causing the Western Heavenly Sea in Huai Xu to overflow and the Infinite Sea Domain to boil over.

The scramble for the Heavenly Mandate is thus ruthless, with a martial conflict now concluded, the literary battle was about to begin.

"Exciting, exciting! After the Upper Gate battle, it’s time for the Heavenly Ancestors to clash!"

In that moment, almost all martial artists present sent this news back to their sects—undoubtedly, at the first instance, the major sects, and even the Heavenly Ancestors of the other continents, will jointly question the Shangxuan Sect.

Maybe not even in the first instance.

But right now.

[Old Qingdu, damn you!]

From the distant south, the crisp and clear official dialect of the Dao Courtyard reverberated through the heavens and earth.

In the South Desolate Hong State, at the Main Mountain of the Lianxuan Wanhua Zhen Dao on Fierce Wilderness Mountain, a majestic and solemn Divine Wood Dharma Form shaded the sky and sun. Its massive branches penetrated the heavens and earth, reaching into the void, its vast root system traversing the Netherworld, spanning across the Three Realms of Heaven, Man, and Nether, with countless green leaves twinkling, just like a star river brilliantly flowing.

And at the instant the voice rang out, in the central Heavenly Pillar of Zhongheng Dao Continent, countless falling stars appeared, directly crashing towards the mountain gate of the Shangxuan Sect!

If closely observed, one could discern that those stars were all great Taoist green leaves descending from beyond the heavens!

Among the continents of Huai Xu, endless Time Water and the Sanmei Divine Wind separate space and time. In terms of danger, it might even be more terrifying than the external Great Void. It’s almost as if each continent domain is a giant world, only linked together by the power of Huai Xu Sky Sea. Even a Pure Yang Summit peak cannot span across continents to attack or move, requiring the aid of a grand formation.

However, if one were Lingxiao, they could surpass such limitations, strike beyond Heavenly Sea, and nearly all Huai Xu Human Clan residences would be within Lingxiao’s attack range, which is also the origin of the name [Lingxiao].

Taking action was the sect master of the Refining True Path in the South Desolate Hong State, Venerable Hao Yu. And the ’Old Qingdu’ he spoke of was indeed the sect hierarch of this generation’s Shangxuan Sect, Qingdu Taoist.

[Stop going crazy.]

The sea of clouds rapidly shifted, and the celestial dome suddenly darkened. In an instant, the sky around the central Heavenly Pillar of Zhongheng Dao Continent vanished like a tablecloth being swiftly pulled away. All pervasive cloud mist, the endless heavenly sea, boundless Gang Qi, all transformed into the robe sleeve of a Daoist, swept away, collecting all the falling stars into the sleeve.

This Daoist, with a long beard and solemn appearance, remained calm. After blocking Venerable Hao Yu’s strike, the Shangxuan Sect immediately activated the formation, resonated with its many Upper Gate mountain gates, transforming into a protective formation enveloping Central Continent, while he and Venerable Hao Yu disappeared together, retreating into the Great Void.

In less than fifteen minutes, following Prince De’s announcement, a Heavenly Ancestor Lingxiao battle broke out!
