155: Chapter 154 Immortal Monarch's Remains
Lin Chen waved his hand. "Alright, you may leave. Xiaoyao, take him to report to Xiao Zhan."
Li Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment. "Sect Master, what position should we assign him?"
Lin Chen chuckled.
"Position? From today onwards, he is the lowest-ranking existence in the Taixuan Sect. He goes wherever he's needed."
Xuanyuan Yao's expression stiffened, but he quickly regained his composure.
So what if he was the lowest-ranking existence?
Back in the day, he had also climbed his way up from being a low-level Cultivator.
He firmly believed that as long as he worked diligently, he would one day climb to the position of a Sect Elder.
He took a deep breath and bowed. "This subordinate obeys your command."
Li Xiaoyao glanced at him, said nothing, and led him out of the Sect Masters Hall.
The hall fell silent.
Lin Chen pondered the matters concerning the Ancient Desolate Divine Hall.
They want to refine the body of a True Immortal to Breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm?
Fine, this Sect Master will give you a few True Immortals.
With a thought, he opened the System inventory and looked at the three Diamond-grade Summoning Cards.
"System, use the Diamond-grade Summoning Cards."
[Ding— Diamond-grade Summoning Cards in use... Congratulations, Host, summoning successful.]
[Congratulations, Host, you have successfully summoned a True Immortal Peak: Immortal Lingxiao!]
[Congratulations, Host, you have successfully summoned a True Immortal Peak: Immortal Xuanming!]
[Congratulations, Host, you have successfully summoned a Profound Immortal Peak: Immortal Qing Li!]
[Immortal Realm Stages: True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Heavenly Immortal. Each Realm is divided into Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Peak. Above them are Immortal Lord, Immortal King, Immortal Sovereign, Immortal Venerable, and Immortal Emperor.]
Lin Chen's lips twitched slightly.
Two True Immortal Peaks and one Profound Immortal Peak. Where's the Heavenly Immortal?
He couldn't help but grumble in his heart:
"Not even one Heavenly Immortal among the three? Since when has my luck been this bad? System, did you tamper with the results?"
The System was silent for a moment, its tone carrying a hint of helplessness:
[Host, do not wrong me.]
Lin Chen curled his lips. Whatever, a Profound Immortal Peak is enough.
Above the Taixuan Sect, the heavens and earth changed abruptly.
In the eastern sky, a streak of purple Qi spanned ten thousand miles, pouring down from the Nine Heavens like a waterfall, dyeing the entire sky a noble purple.
Wherever the purple Qi passed, auspicious clouds surged, ten thousand rays of radiance shone, and faint Immortal music echoed in the Void Realm.
Outside the Taixuan Sect's mountain gate, the Great Emperors of the Central Region who hadn't had time to leave all underwent a drastic change in expression.
Someone's voice trembled, "What kind of phenomenon is this? Purple Qi coming from the east..."
The person beside them looked grave and said nothing, but the same thought was churning in their heart.
Could this be... an Immortal descending into the world?
Inside Xuanqi City, countless Cultivators flooded the streets, looking up at the horizon.
"Holy crap, what's going on?"
"Purple Qi descending from the heavens, this is an auspicious sign!"
"I don't know, but something big must have happened at the Taixuan Sect!"
Within the Taixuan Sect, the more than fifty thousand new Disciples had just settled in. At this moment, they all ran out of their quarters, staring at the sky in stunned silence.
Someone murmured:
"Is this an Immortal Sect? Even the celestial phenomena are so terrifying..."
Across the entire Desolate Ancient Continent, all living beings saw this streak of purple Qi spanning the sky.
Countless Cultivators stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky, their hearts filled with inexplicable shock.
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and alarm, three figures appeared out of thin air above the Taixuan Sect.
Two men and one woman. The one on the left was dressed in snow-white clothes, with an ethereal Aura.
The one on the right wore a black robe and had a cold, stern face.
The one in the middle wore a green dress and had a beautiful, refined appearance. Immortal light swirled around her, and her Aura was even more powerful than the two beside her.
The man in white spoke, his voice echoing across the entire Desolate Ancient Continent:
"I am Immortal Lingxiao of Taixuan."
The voice of the man in the black robe sounded like the clashing of metal:
"I am Immortal Xuanming of Taixuan."
The woman in the green dress spoke in a cold tone:
"I am Immortal Qing Li of Taixuan."
Three sentences, three bursts of Immortal might, swept across the continent simultaneously.
All living beings heard these three names.
Some knelt and kowtowed, some sighed toward the heavens, and others turned pale, remaining silent.
The Immortals of the Taixuan Sect had descended.
Inside the Sect Masters Hall, Lin Chen picked up his teacup and took a slow sip.
Outside the hall, the three streaks of Immortal light slowly faded, and the three figures landed before the Taixuan Sect's mountain gate.
Li Xiaoyao had already gone out to meet them and bowed in greeting.
The three Immortals nodded slightly and followed him into the mountain gate.
Along the way, the Disciples of the Taixuan Sect stopped one after another, watching the three figures with eyes full of awe.
Inside the Sect Masters Hall, Lin Chen was holding his teacup.
The three entered the hall and bowed together:
"Greetings, Sect Master."
Lin Chen set down his teacup and swept his gaze across their faces.
He was very satisfied.
With two True Immortal Peaks and one Profound Immortal Peak, along with the original seven Great Emperor Peaks, the Taixuan Sect's combat strength was no longer what it used to be.
He nodded, his tone carrying a hint of expectation:
"Currently, our Taixuan Sect is in a period of rapid development. You must all contribute to the Sect from now on and must not be negligent."
The three responded in unison:
"Please rest assured, Sect Master. We will certainly devote ourselves to the Sect and would not hesitate to die ten thousand deaths."
Lin Chen nodded with satisfaction, took a sip of tea, and added:
"As for your positions, this Sect Master has already made arrangements. Above the Grand Elder, a new position of 'Sequence Elder' will be established."
"The three of you will be the Sect's Sequence Elders from now on."
Immortal Lingxiao, Immortal Xuanming, and Immortal Qing Li bowed once more:
"Your subordinates obey your command."
Lin Chen waved his hand:
"Alright, you may leave. Li Xiaoyao will arrange your accommodations. Familiarize yourselves with the Sect's affairs first."
At the moment the three descended, in the depths of the boundless Void Realm outside the Desolate Ancient Continent.
Two figures sat cross-legged on a dead star, their bodies enveloped in faint Immortal light, their Auras as vast as an abyss.
One of them suddenly opened his eyes and stood up abruptly:
"What's happening? Why has the pressure of the Immortal Realm appeared on the Desolate Ancient Continent again?"
The other person also opened his eyes, extending his Divine Sense downward, his brows furrowed:
"That True Immortal from a hundred thousand years ago was already a fish that escaped our Immortal Slaying Array. Now, several more Immortal pressures have appeared in succession. Has the grand array failed?"
"Impossible. The array patterns have been functioning normally and have never had any issues."
The first person shook his head, his tone filled with confusion:
"But if it's not the grand array's failure, where did these Immortal pressures come from? Once a Cultivator of the Lower Realm achieves Immortal Ascension, they will inevitably trigger the grand array and be slain on the spot. This is an ironclad law."
The second person was silent for a moment, his voice low:
"Unfortunately, the pressure from that Lord Immortal Lord's remains is too deep; our Divine Sense cannot penetrate that barrier at all."
"Currently, we can only perceive the existence of the Immortal might, but we don't know what Realm those Immortals are in or where they came from."
The first person stood up, his expression solemn:
"The True Immortal from a hundred thousand years ago was already a variable, and now several more Immortal pressures have emerged... This variable is too great. It's not something we can decide."
The second person also stood up. "We must immediately report back to the Sect. Nothing must go wrong with the matter of the Immortal Lord's remains."
The two looked at each other and nodded simultaneously. With a flicker of their bodies, they vanished from the dead star.
