Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2120 1530: True or False

Consequently, a contingent of cultivators rallied their allies, with plans to venture towards the Gloomy Swamp collectively. Their primary objective was to ascertain the existence of a Secret Realm within its confines.

Should their findings prove true, subsequent strategic actions would then be initiated.

As dawn broke the following day, a considerable assembly of independent cultivators took flight, heading towards the Gloomy Swamp. Their numbers were estimated to be at least a thousand.

And this was merely the prelude; throughout that subsequent day alone, an additional several thousand departed from the bustling Marketplace.

To say nothing of the fact that once this news permeated the cultivation world, within a mere handful of days, loose cultivators from vast distances, spanning a thousand miles in radius, all set their courses for the Gloomy Swamp. None wished to forfeit this chance, however uncertain its authenticity might be.

Swiftly, this developing situation reached the attention of numerous established powers.

Directly south of the Gloomy Swamp, a distance of merely a thousand miles, stood three majestic, towering mountains. These peaks were the domain of a formidable Heavenly Immortal Sect known reverently as the Three Mysterious Sect.

Bang!

The usually serene and profoundly quiet Sect Hall of the Three Mysterious Sect was, on this particular day, engulfed in sheer pandemonium. This was punctuated by a colossal roar, saturated with an unbridled fury, that boomed, "Can anyone provide me with an answer! What is transpiring with these pervasive rumors spreading like wildfire outside! Which particular force is orchestrating this baseless propaganda!"

The Three Mysterious Sect held a prominent position amongst the factions entrusted with the stewardship of the Mysterious Secret Realm. Indeed, they were the lead administrators, securing a larger allocation of the realm's valuable resources.

Now that the critical information had been carelessly leaked, effectively becoming public knowledge, it was impossible to predict the sheer volume of cultivators who would be drawn to its vicinity, thereby shattering their carefully maintained facade and preventing them from perpetuating the deception they had so long concealed!

As a matter of fact, in its nascent stages, the Mysterious Secret Realm was merely an ordinary Earth Immortal Rank Secret Realm, possessing no distinct or remarkable qualities. Yet, for reasons unknown to anyone, it had inexplicably undergone a celestial promotion!

While it did not directly ascend to the coveted Heavenly Immortal Rank, its evolutionary trajectory shifted dramatically. The realm's physical dimensions expanded exponentially, growing several times in size, and the ambient Spiritual Energy within it became progressively more concentrated and potent.

Most crucially, there was an undeniable indication that the Secret Realm's ascendance had not yet reached its zenith, suggesting the tantalizing prospect of further advancement opportunities!

Should this upward progression continue unabated, it held a significant probability of ultimately achieving the esteemed status of a Heavenly Immortal Rank Secret Realm!

One could scarcely overstate the immense value of a Heavenly Immortal Rank Secret Realm. A mere glance at the entirety of the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm, which boasted only three such realms, jointly managed and shared by multiple powerful entities, was sufficient to comprehend their profound rarity and importance.

Unbeknownst to the outside world, the Three Mysterious Sect harbored a strong desire to exclusively hoard all the accrued benefits emanating from the realm.

Regrettably, their foresight failed them, as they remained oblivious to the fact that the Secret Realm had already successfully completed its promotion. Their awareness of its peculiar advancement only dawned upon them after their initial foray into the Secret Realm in the immediate aftermath of its transformation.

At that critical juncture, the Earth Immortal cultivators affiliated with the Three Mysterious Sect acted with unparalleled swiftness. They immediately convened their fellow disciples, resolutely decreeing that all cultivators, with the sole exception of their own brethren, were to be permanently eliminated.

This drastic measure was conceived as a means to more effectively safeguard their clandestine secret.

However, fate, it seemed, had other plans, and their meticulously crafted scheme ultimately faltered. This was due to the prescient actions of several less powerful factions who, having anticipated the Three Mysterious Sect's likely intentions, swiftly gathered their disciples upon discovering the Secret Realm's promotion and decisively retreated from its confines.

In such delicate circumstances, if the objective was to maintain the veil of secrecy, strategic collaboration presented itself as the most viable course of action.

Therefore, subsequent to intensive deliberations with the other involved factions, the Three Mysterious Sect collectively assumed the responsibility for the unified management of this extraordinary Secret Realm.

From that point forward, the Three Mysterious Sect, in concert with these other allied forces, commenced an unwavering and vigilant guardianship over the Gloomy Swamp. This vigilance manifested in the frequent orchestration of perilous situations, leading to the mysterious disappearances of numerous cultivators.

Moreover, given that the quality of cultivation resources in this particular region was not of an elevated standard, and the absence of any unique Spiritual Objects, coupled with these pervasive dangers, it was only natural that cultivators would instinctively steer clear.

Gradually, over time, a palpable disinclination to venture into the area took root, and scarce any cultivators were subsequently willing to brave its perils.

Naturally, even after the passage of countless years, regardless of the meticulousness with which they guarded their secret, fragments of information inevitably managed to escape. This inevitably drew the inquisitive attention of certain discerning forces, prompting them to discreetly dispatch operatives to conduct reconnaissance, only for these individuals to be unceremoniously repelled.

This sequence of events serves as the underlying reason why the Earth Immortal cultivator, identified as Tu Sen, developed suspicions regarding specific factions upon the conspicuous appearance of dozens of cultivators in the vicinity.

Returning to the immediate issue at hand!

Confronted by the Sect Leader's explosive outburst, every single elder in attendance adopted a posture akin to cicadas enduring the harshness of winter, exhibiting profound reluctance to utter a single word. This was primarily due to their complete lack of knowledge regarding the matter at hand, having only recently become privy to the swiftly disseminated rumors circulating externally.

Upon their initial exposure to these rumors, they immediately recognized the highly precarious and sensitive nature of the situation.

"What! Were you not extraordinarily eloquent just moments ago? Why has your speech now ceased entirely? Have you all been struck mute?!" the Sect Leader's frustration escalated, compelling him to issue a chillingly sharp reprimand.

After a considerable interval had elapsed, a solitary elder finally rose to address the assembly. He stated, "Sect Leader, concerning the affair of the Mysterious Secret Realm, the most prudent course of action at this juncture is to initially implement a comprehensive cover-up strategy. Following this, we shall dedicate our efforts to identifying the clandestine entity behind these machinations."

Preposterous!

Such a fundamentally straightforward and obvious solution did not necessitate your explicit articulation, did it?

The Sect Leader responded with a visceral eye-roll, his complexion darkening progressively. His expression grew increasingly displeasing, bordering on outright menacing.

"The most pressing issue now is how to drive away that group of loose cultivators; otherwise, with them there, the secret of the Secret Realm is sure to be exposed." Another elder spoke more unnecessary nonsense.

Bang!

Hearing this, the Sect Leader couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table again.

"Nonsense! Nonsense! I called you here to come up with solutions, not to say useless nonsense!"

The few elders who intended to speak up saw the Sect Leader's fury and no longer dared to speak.

Of course, it might be because they were self-aware, knowing what they said was nonsense; if they forged ahead, the consequences might be worse than just being scolded.

The hall fell into a dead silence, until finally, someone broke the silence, speaking sinisterly, "Why not directly let those loose cultivators enter the Secret Realm, and then arrange personnel to guard the Teleportation Array, allowing not a single cultivator to leave!"
