49: Is this still the Ascending Sect?

Rumble—

One mountain after another collapsed with a roar, and together with the houses and buildings atop them, they were all reduced to ashes.

The Wending Sect, which had been built with the hard work of Fang Hong and the others and was quite grand and imposing, was now... gone!

"Did the Sect Master just... destroy the Wending Sect?"

Everyone stood dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.

Even the Old Ancestor, Chu Nansheng, Shi Tian, and the others couldn't understand why the Sect Master would do such a thing!

Many Disciples who had only just joined the Sect were petrified on the spot.

It had only been a few days since they joined!

And the Sect was already gone?

This Sect Master must be a lunatic!

"Has the Wending Sect been exterminated by someone?"

Many nearby Sects heard the commotion and rushed over, hiding in the shadows to watch from a distance.

When they witnessed this scene, they were equally speechless!

The Wending Sect is finished!

They wondered which mighty figure had taken action, coming directly to their door to wipe out the Wending Sect!

Not even a chicken or a dog was left!

"What a pity!"

"A top-tier Sect that had just risen, gone just like that!"

"They deserve it!"

"Who told them to be so overbearing in their actions!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down!"

"What's there to be afraid of? The Wending Sect is gone anyway; can they still kill me?"

"..."

However, just as they were chattering away, things suddenly changed.

Clang—

A bell chimed melodiously.

Then, a mountain rose from the ground, reaching thirty thousand zhang in height and piercing through the clouds!

Immediately following that.

More and more mountains emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Although they were lower than the first, even the shortest was ten thousand zhang tall!

A moment later, a vast mountain range was formed, stretching tens of thousands of miles!

There were hundreds of mountains in total!

There were also many immortal islands rich in Spiritual Qi, floating directly in the air!

Bang bang bang bang—

Magnificent palaces appeared out of thin air, landing on the mountains and islands, taking deep root!

It was as if a divine craftsman was constantly carving and sculpting.

Less than an hour later, under everyone's shocked gazes, an immortal Sect slowly appeared.

Mist swirled, and immortal music drifted faintly.

Exotic herbs and flowers grew among the mountains, and white cranes soared through the mist.

There were immortal terraces and jade pavilions, with murmuring streams.

It was like a paradise on earth!

More importantly, a hundred top-grade Spiritual Veins were hidden beneath the mountains. Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, the Spiritual Qi was so dense it could almost condense into water!

Cultivating within it, even a dog's cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds!

"This... this... this..."

Witnessing all this with their own eyes, everyone was stunned.

It could actually be done like this?!

What kind of Divine Ability was this? Even a Great Emperor couldn't achieve it!

Just how many great Divine Abilities was the Sect Master hiding!

He's simply too invincible!

"Old Ancestor, can you do this?"

A bold Disciple looked up and asked.

"I... I can't... You're looking for a beating, aren't you! How dare you tease the Old Ancestor!"

"This Disciple wouldn't dare!"

The Disciple stuck out his tongue.

And the people hiding in the distance watching secretly were also truly frightened by this scene.

"The Wending Sect must never be offended!"

This was their first reaction. Just a moment ago, they thought the Wending Sect had been exterminated by an enemy.

Now they knew that a peerless powerhouse was using a great Divine Ability to rebuild the Sect. Such a grand undertaking was comparable to the Creator!

Their respective Sects were not far from the Wending Sect.

In the future, not only could they not offend the Wending Sect, they even had to curry favor with them, lest the Wending Sect wipe them out in a fit of displeasure!

"You call this an Elementary Sect?"

Lin Chen was also truly shocked. It wasn't until he heard the System's prompt that he came back to his senses.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the Host, the Elementary Sect Upgrade Card has been used successfully!]

*Cough, cough, cough.*

After a long while, Lin Chen calmed his emotions and put on the air of an otherworldly expert.

"Old Ancestor, bring them back."

"Alright!"

With a wave of his hand, Li Tiangang brought everyone back to the Wending Sect.

The crowd was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking here and touching there.

They couldn't believe that this would be their home from now on.

"Is this still the Wending Sect?"

"I visited the Qingfeng Temple once before. Compared to our Wending Sect, that place is practically a chicken coop!"

A Disciple exclaimed in wonder.

"Tch! What Qingfeng Temple? It's just a second-rate Sect!"

"I've even been to the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

"If you ask me, the Heavenly Sword Sect is also a chicken coop compared to us!"

Another Disciple immediately said with disdain.

"Hahahaha! Well said!"

Everyone laughed heartily.

When Lin Chen walked out, the looks in everyone's eyes were filled with adoration.

After all, in the entire Cangxuan Realm, there wasn't a single person who could possess such astonishing Divine Ability!

"Snow Peak."

"Green Bamboo Peak."

"Cangyue Peak."

"..."

"Wending Hall."

"Council Hall."

"Cultivation Technique Hall."

"..."

Half a day later, Lin Chen finally finished naming all these places.

He waved his hand, letting the Disciples choose their own Immortal Caves.

The current Wending Sect covered a vast territory of tens of thousands of miles. Let alone these few thousand Disciples, even with hundreds of thousands of Disciples, the Immortal Cave each person could get would still be very spacious!

The Disciples left joyfully.

At Lin Chen's signal, Li Tiangang set up the Sect Protecting Grand Array again, covering a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

With the support of the massive Spiritual Qi, its power was even greater than before... The news of the Wending Sect's reconstruction quickly spread.

Soon after, the news reached the Imperial Continent.

Inside the Batian Sect, Huyan Bao's expression was grave: "You're saying the Wending Sect has a peerless powerhouse in residence, who built an immortal Sect spanning tens of thousands of miles in an instant?"

Tens of thousands of miles!

He had never even heard of such a thing!

The Batian Sect was already large enough, but it only spanned a few thousand miles!

"It is absolutely true. Many people saw it with their own eyes; it's impossible to be false!"

Below, several inner sect elders reported truthfully.

"This..."

Huyan Bao hesitated.

In the past few months, the Batian Sect had contacted top Sects from various domains.

Two-thirds of the Sects either politely declined or remained neutral.

But one-third of the Sects had agreed.

He had thought that with so many Sects joining forces, they would surely be able to completely eradicate the Wending Sect.

But with the Wending Sect suddenly pulling such a stunt, everyone was filled with doubt and apprehension.

What should be done?

"Should we ask for instructions from the Old Ancestors?"

An inner sect elder asked.

"Hmm..."

Huyan Bao pondered for a moment and shook his head: "The Old Ancestors are all in seclusion. Especially Qing Ming Old Ancestor, who is at a critical moment in breaking through to the Peak Great Emperor stage. He must not be disturbed. I think..."

"Let's put this matter on hold for now."

"Alright... then." The inner sect elders were also very helpless. They had said many good things and made many promises to various Sects to form a united front.

Now that it was put on hold just like that, they would have to swallow their pride and go appease the emotions of the various Sects... Soon after, at the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Lame Old Man was fuming with rage!

"Unreasonable, simply unreasonable!"

He had finally managed to drag the top Sects of the other four domains into the fray, but now they had suddenly changed their minds.

In this way, they would have to face the wrath of the Wending Sect alone.

They couldn't defeat Li Tiangang even when combined; now that they were scattered and back at their respective Sects, it would be even more impossible.

"Forget it, forget it."

"At worst, I'll just hide and not leave the Sect!"

"I don't believe they can break the Heavenly Sword Sect's Sect Protecting Grand Array!"

The Lame Old Man made up his mind to play the turtle and hide.

He would wait for the day the situation changed to go out and seek revenge!
