Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone-Chapter 1324 - 605: A Homeward Journey Destined for Turmoil (Part 2)

"This is a big problem."

An elder from the God Slaughter Palace said in a deep voice:

"Fellow Wang is just a disciple of the Sword God Palace, yet he commands so many killing artifacts and directs such a large army.

"This matter seems rather inappropriate."

Wang Jixuan could barely suppress a sneer, about to retort sarcastically.

Unexpectedly, Sword Dance interjected directly: "Does the God Slaughter Palace intend to provoke our Sword God Palace?"

"Certainly not, where did this come from?"

"Since you dare not provoke, why spew such rhetoric?"

Sword Dance's pretty face was as cold as ice, and she began to scold:

"I've clearly explained to everyone already!

"The matter of the Mechanical Constructs is not trivial and cannot be casually revealed as treasures.

"When has our Sword God Palace ever been petty with everyone?

"The two Masters Uncles from the God Slaughter Palace today have repeatedly squeezed a junior who has made great contributions. Is this how elders should act? Is there any semblance of seniority left? Not to mention, Wang Jixuan is a disciple of our Sword God Palace; this is our family's internal affair!

"Since when is it your turn to speak on my family's matters?"

A powerful Qi surged from around Sword Dance.

Though those two elders were tens of thousands of years older than Sword Dance, their cultivation was far inferior to hers.

Sword Dance became the Deputy Palace Master not only for her intricate mind and prestige among the second-generation direct lineage of the Sword God Palace but crucially because of her cultivation.

She is the only one among the second generation capable of holding down the Nine Spirits Sword Venerable, Sword Nine.

However, Sword Nine is currently in seclusion, and if Sword Nine makes a significant breakthrough today, Sword Dance might be surpassed.

This outburst from Sword Dance deterred those with ill intentions, but it also created a bit of a stalemate.

Sword Three, who had been hiding, appeared in the corner, cupped his hands to the elders.

Sword Three chuckled: "Everyone, why quarrel over such trivial matters that have nothing to do with longevity? As the saying goes, 'The road is long; only time will reveal a horse's true strength, and only the long-term will reveal a person's heart.' Let's let time verify the character of Nephew Jixuan, shall we?"

At the mention of 'time,' several old Golden Immortals fell silent.

Master Wang is not just a disciple of the Sword God Palace; he also has a backing of a Daluo Golden Immortal from the Time Dao.

These two supports of his complement each other well nowadays.

Luo Tianjin, who had remained silent, laughed heartily: "Move on! Let's move past this! Let's drink! There's still important business to discuss today!"

The crowd continued to drink merrily.

No one took it too seriously; those two old men who had spoken harshly before seemed to forget the previous unpleasantness once they raised their cups.

Wang Jixuan contended with himself for a few seconds, then chuckled wryly.

All for profit;

All for benefit.

Though the three factions are all part of the Human Race's Immortal Palaces, they have long been independent and each has its own little secrets.

Not to mention, today's discussion is about the Hero Conference concerning the emergence of the Human King Seal.

Master Wang did not speak further, only listening with a smile.

His place at the main table did not stir any discontent.

This was a position earned on the battlefield.

Thanks to the Mechanical Body.

...

Half a day later.

The three Immortal Islands ascended into the sky, drifting slowly towards the west, north, and northwest.

Wang Jixuan, Feng Zheng, Bai Ning, and seven or eight Sword God Palace disciples gathered at the edge of an Immortal Island, gazing at the receding Broken Cloud Desert.

Clouds rose and mist fell throughout the desert.

Without the source of rolling Evil Qi, there was no more blood rain, no more foul wind, no more dark clouds.

The sunlight scorched the desert; cotton-like clouds drifted in the sky, eager to squeeze together and dump a heavy rain here, to begin restoring vitality.

Wang Jixuan's Green Wood Sword Intent quivered gently, attaining further insights.

If heaven and earth were unchanging, living beings would find a place to rest.

Feng Zheng asked, "How did the elders' discussion go, Brother Wang?"

"About the Hero Conference?"

"Yes," Feng Zheng chuckled, "we had quite a bit of private discussion… Wasn't it said that this Hero Conference will be held every hundred years, and the first will be at our Sword God Palace? It also involves disciples competing with Spiritual Treasures as wagers."

"Spiritual Treasures?"

The disciples nearby instantly lit up with excitement.

Although they are all Heavenly Immortals of the top three grades, Spiritual Treasures are indeed hard to obtain.

They are the core disciples of Sword God Palace; in such a grand competition, they are sure to have a spot.

Bai Ning laughed and said, "It's all hearsay, you better be careful not to spread rumors."

Wang Jixuan said, "Brother Feng's words are not far off. Indeed, it has been decided this way. The time is set for a year later when Sword God Palace holds the inaugural Heroes' Gathering. All the heroes of the Human Race will receive invitations, and secret observation platforms will be set up for the Daluo Golden Immortal seniors to observe the Human Race disciples."

The disciples eagerly rubbed their hands together.

Bai Ning marveled, "Will the Daluo Golden Immortals also appear?"

Wang Jixuan replied, "According to what they say, they should not appear. It seems to be a rule of the Immortal Realm that Daluo Golden Immortals, unless they are Palace Masters, will not easily show themselves."

Feng Zhengxiao said, "A Daluo Golden Immortal is a holder and representative of a Great Path. If one appears, it's easy for Immortals with good comprehension to gain insights. But if several Daluo Golden Immortals appear at the same time, it could easily cause the Daoist Principles of lower realm Immortals to become chaotic, leading to Qi Deviation."

"I see, no wonder they set up secret observation platforms."

Master Wang clicked his tongue lightly:

"Anyway, we must perform well this time and strive to sweep the top three, top ten!"

Bai Ning retorted, "How is that possible? The disciples of the other two families are not slackers. If we can occupy five of the top ten spots, that would be very good."

"Yes, Brother Wang, your tone is a bit intimidating."

"The arena is not a life-and-death duel, and many of our powerful sword moves cannot be used, which puts us at a disadvantage."

"If we can secure four of the top ten spots, it will be enough to prove we are the first."

Wang Jixuan: ...

Goodness, the guys and gals are truly humble.

At present, whether it's the elders or the disciples, Sword God Palace's high-end combat strength is superior to the other two families.

Just the Deputy Palace Master, Sword Dance, among the second-generation disciples, has steadily suppressed so many old golden immortals.

"Master!"

The voice of Xiao Huating's call came from behind.

Master Wang turned around to see Xiao Huating wearing a white dress, riding on a cloud from afar, followed by several young and beautiful female disciples of Sword God Palace.

Wang Jixuan wondered, "What's up? Does Miss Huating have something to ask her teacher?"

"Hehe."

Xiao Huating sheepishly pursed her lips:

"Master, it's like this. A few senior sisters want to play with the Mechanical Body. Do you agree?"

"There's no reason to disagree, just find your Sister Mudan."

"Well, they all said they need your consent."

"That's for outsiders, internally there's no restriction." Wang Jixuan waved his hand, "Go ahead, you can take them directly to the Second Base, don't you have the authority?"

Xiao Huating responded crisply and then left hand in hand with several female disciples of Sword God Palace.

Feng Zheng gently clicked his tongue: "Junior Brother, how did you do it? Even the disciple you took in before attaining immortality is so talented and full of Spiritual Energy."

"Hmm."

Wang Jixuan crossed his arms:

"It's a matter of temperament and charm.

"You've never seen my Daoist couple; she's as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, and my previous Daoist couple was equally impressive and charismatic."

Bai Ning murmured softly on the side: "Who isn't a Heavenly Immortal?"

"It's a term, a term."

Wang Jixuan quickly admitted defeat and hurriedly changed the subject.

The Immortal Island broke through the cloud path and steadily headed toward Sword God Palace.

In the main hall at the center of the Immortal Island, several elders, drunk, leaned against someplace and fell into a deep sleep, while others, feeling spirited, were engaging in a game of strategy.

Sword Dance did not make an appearance; she was hiding in a secret chamber, controlling the entire Immortal Island to keep them from losing their direction.

Just three feet in front of Sword Dance, a Golden Lotus rotated slowly, containing within it the Ancient Battlefield Small World.

This was temporarily borrowed from Wang Jixuan by Sword Dance.

Sword Dance had no other thoughts; she just wanted to find a chance to get close to the Ancient Princess and inquire about the whereabouts of some ancient lost treasures. By getting closer to the princess, she could solidify Sword God Palace's status as the "big brother."

The Human King Seal represented law;

The Ancient Human Race Princess represented sentiment;

Both are quite important to the status of the Immortal Palace.

At the same time.

Within the Golden Lotus, in the northwest corner of the Ancient Battlefield;

A beetle covered in faint black Qi silently crawled out of a stone pillar and looked up at the Blood Moon above.

It began to quietly absorb the Evil Qi here.
