Ascension of The Unholy Immortal-Chapter 308: Representative

A loud exclamation rippled through the vast chamber as a figure suddenly materialized out of thin air. The air seemed to shimmer and warp before revealing Dong Tian Shu, who bore an expression of pure astonishment.

Even the always composed Dong Tian Di allowed his eyes to narrow slightly, clearly taken aback by Liang’s ability to pierce through his son’s sophisticated concealment method.

"Junior Brother Liang, your mastery of the void is truly astonishing," Dong Tian Shu remarked with a blend of admiration and amusement, his eyes locking onto Liang’s with a glint of intrigue. "To think you exposed me so easily."

Liang responded with a modest smile, yet beneath his calm exterior, he was grappling with his own shock.

He had not sensed Dong Tian Shu’s presence at all; what he had felt were mere fleeting disturbances in the void, so faint they could have been anything. However, he had correctly deduced that only a master of stealth, someone with unparalleled expertise, could generate such minimal disruptions.

Even with Dong Tian Di’s extraordinary abilities, he would need someone else to thwart Liang’s other escape routes.

To throw off the hidden presence he had sensed, Liang had used the term "senior brother," a calculated move meant to unbalance and confuse his unseen adversary.

The situation was fraught with danger, yet Liang stood unafraid. He gazed at both father and son indifferently .

"I did not steal any information regarding the Void Integration Matrix; I simply comprehended a few of its mysteries."

"What?!" Both Dong Tian Di and Dong Tian Shu exchanged bewildered glances, disbelief coloring their faces.

The Void Integration Matrix was very complicated far beyond what an expert at the seventh- order could fathom. The idea that Liang, who had only encountered it twice, could unravel even a fraction of its secrets seemed preposterous to them.

Their shocked expressions didn’t go unnoticed by Liang, who inwardly chuckled at their disbelief. With a calm demeanor, he reached into his space ring and pulled out an object.

A flicker of surprise passed through both father and son’s eyes.

"Clan Identification token?" Dong Tian Sue narrowed his eyes, suspicion lining his voice.

Dong Tian Di’s gaze sharpened as realization dawned on him. "I see, so you managed to pass through using this token. No, you probably manipulated the formations within it, making it acknowledge you as its master."

Liang merely offered a knowing smile, choosing not to elaborate further.

"Dong Hue is quite careless; he should have retrieved this token from you," Dong Tian Di snorted coldly, displeasure evident in his eyes.

"If you want it, you can have it," Liang said nonchalantly, tossing the token towards Dong Tian Di with a casual flick.

"As it should have been," Dong Tian Di nodded, tucking the token away into the folds of his robe.

"Since everything is settled, I have an important mission for you," Dong Tian Di said mysteriously, his eyes glinting with unreadable intentions. "Of course, if you don’t want it, we can forget I ever mentioned it."

Liang raised an eyebrow, intrigued yet cautious. Despite their tumultuous history, the Dong Clan had fallen to the back of his mind. Presently, he had no concrete plans concerning them. Although his power had grown significantly, he remained a solitary figure. This tenuous relationship was a necessary convenience for him.

Still, he was willing to listen. If the mission proved worthwhile, it could be of benefit. Otherwise, he had no qualms about declining and moving on.

Time was of the essence. The opening of the Heavenly Will Palace loomed ever closer. Recently, he had been plagued by an unshakable feeling that significant changes were imminent, like dark clouds gathering before a storm.

The peculiar sensation coursing through Liang’s being could only be attributed to the potent Thousand Derivations Rune.

Just moments ago, he had ascended into the enigmatic Void Transformation Realm which increased this feeling.

"As long as it’s convenient for me, I wouldn’t mind," Liang replied nonchalantly.

Dong Tian Di’s lips curled into a playful smile. "Serving as one of the Dong Clan representatives in the Heaven Fortune Domain’s grand auction—is that convenient?"

A representative of the Dong Clan? Liang’s eyes flickered thoughtfully, puzzled by the sudden nomination. Why had he been chosen for such a significant role?

Activating the Thousand Derivations Rune in secret, he closed his eyes, appearing deep in thought. Inside his mind, countless causes and possibilities swirled.

Within mere seconds, Liang had reached a conclusion. Opening his eyes, he chuckled softly. "So, Senior, you tracked me all the way here not because of how I escaped but because of this mission, correct?"

Dong Tian Di’s eyes narrowed slightly but remained silent, his expression inscrutable.

Seeing this, Liang’s suspicions were confirmed. A sly smile crept across his face. "The power struggle within the Dong Clan is indeed intricate."

"Intricate?" Dong Tian Di’s eyes shone with amusement, and he couldn’t hold back a hearty laugh. "Intricate is an understatement. The Dong Clan is larger and more complex than you could ever imagine."

Nearby, Dong Tian Shu’s eyes glinted coldly at Dong Tian Di’s words, though he masterfully masked his discontent. However, Liang noticed this fleeting expression but chose to merely smile. "Since Senior has fought so hard to secure this opportunity for me, it would be inappropriate for me to decline."

Dong Tian Di nodded, impressed by Liang’s shrewdness, though he had anticipated the response.

The patriarch had decreed that the Dong Clan would send three representatives to the grand auction—one from each of the two principal factions and a foreign clan member of the highest class—to showcase the diversity and strength of the clan.

In addition to Liang’s own formidable strength, Dong Tian Di has exerted significant effort to secure the spot for him.

Although Liang is technically an outsider, from certain perspectives, he could be considered as one of their own. According to his future plans, it won’t be long before he fully integrates into their faction.

With a swift motion, Dong Tian Di waved his hand, and a token along with a space ring materialized before Liang.

Without a second thought or even a glance to check their contents, Liang carefully put them away.

"Very well, I will be taking my leave now. Tian Shu will accompany you," Dong Tian Di’s voice resonated through the space as he vanished from sight.

"Junior Brother Liang, we have about two months left. Let’s reconvene here in one and a half months."

Liang nodded slightly, not uttering a word. Turning around, he was just about to leave when Dong Tian Shu’s voice halted him.

"Junior Brother Liang, have you been on this planet before?"

Liang paused mid-step, turning slightly to meet Dong Tian Shu’s gaze. "Oh? Why do you ask?"

Dong Tian Shu’s eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly. "Just an observation. Your aura has similarities to the one this planet has."

Liang chuckled softly. "Indeed, I have been here before. But that was a long time ago."

Dong Tian Shu’s eyes shimmered with curiosity. "This land is barren and devoid of spiritual energy. What were you doing here?"
