System's Super Sect Chapter 1439 - 1216: Sima Tianxuan Arrives

Just as Yan Lai was stunned, the people of Divine Flight City looked far into the ruins at the untouched Purple Treasure Pavilion, revealing myriad emotions.

Some were astonished.

He was surprised at how quickly this turmoil ended.

Wasn’t the one who came to cause trouble at the Purple Treasure Pavilion a strong adversary above the Celestial Unrestricted?

Such a being is mythical, existing only in historical records, rarely witnessed by anyone.

Some were resigned.

He regretted thinking too much.

What right did he have to call the Immortal Sect Leader inflexible?

Ultimately, he was still acting like a frog at the bottom of the well.

In any case, the unexpected ending of this chaos elevated the status of the Purple Treasure Pavilion in everyone’s heart.

Meanwhile, Celestial String returned to the Immortal Sect. Because the existence above Celestial Unrestricted is like a myth in the eyes of ordinary people.

And wasn’t it the same in his eyes?

"Sect Leader, how many moves did you win this battle?" Celestial String knew that since their Sect Leader returned safely, he must have had the upper hand.

"Didn’t win."

As long as Celestial River Mountain lives, it remains a threat.

How can there be talk of winning then?

"But Celestial River Mountain retreated!" Celestial String was in disbelief because Celestial River Mountain obviously came to cause trouble, how could he leave so easily?

Wen Ping said calmly, "Believe it or not. Anyway, go find Master Zi Ran and the others, tell them not to leave the Sect unnecessarily. If they must go to the Purple Treasure Pavilion, they absolutely cannot leave its confines. Celestial River Mountain is not to be underestimated."

With that, Wen Ping left straightaway.

Soon after Wen Ping left, news of their Sect Leader’s battle with a powerful adversary above Celestial Unrestricted, driving them away, spread swiftly throughout the Sect.

The entire Sect was abuzz with excitement.

The new disciples were especially thrilled upon hearing this news, although they had not been in the Sect for long, the harmonious environment of the Immortal Sect already instilled in them a deep sense of honor in being part of it.

Upon knowing that the Sect Leader was only at the Body Refining Realm over a year ago, these newcomers held the Immortal Sect in greater awe.

It turns out the Immortal Sect was not a newly emerged force, but a colossus rooted deeply in the earth.

Of course.

Wen Ping surely didn’t know about the feelings of these new disciples.

His mood was complicated because a Half-Step Primordial Vast powerhouse, who had been watching the Immortal Sect closely, was now nowhere to be found.

Since creating the All-Knowing Tower, it was the first time he felt this tension of a lurking enemy while being in the open. The discomfort had prompted him to establish the All-Knowing Tower arduously, even granting Chen Xie the most authority.

If the enemy were to directly strike at the Immortal Sect’s gate, how ideal that would be.

Wen Ping suddenly missed Heaven and Earth Lake, where enemies were straightforward, intent only on destroying the whole Sect, often charging straight to the front door.

"System, is there any special architecture that can track enemies?" Wen Ping disliked this sense of unease.

"Once the host becomes the master of Heaven-Gazing Gorge, you can monitor every strong adversary above the Celestial Unrestricted there."

"Is there no such structure?"

"Yes. Upgrading the All-Knowing Tower will do. The upgrade can grant a probability-based alert function. When the system assesses that someone poses a threat to the Sect within a certain range, it will automatically lock onto their position and notify the host."

"Then forget it." Wen Ping pondered, still decided to save the reputation points for upgrading the Nirvana House, rather than the All-Knowing Tower.

If obtaining this feature were guaranteed, then upgrading would be necessary.

Unfortunately.

It was a probability issue.

Being short of funds now, it wasn’t worth gambling on the scant reputation points left.

Immediately, Wen Ping transmitted a message to Chen Xie, to convert more Black Shadows, enhancing patrols around the Immortal Sect.

Thus reducing the threat of Celestial River Mountain to the lowest possible.

Upon receiving the order, Chen Xie inferred it was certainly related to Celestial River Mountain, hence immediately converted twenty to thirty Black Shadows to patrol around the Immortal Sect.

Yet, after five or six days, there was no response.

The Celestial Ranking had been updated twice, the influence of Heaven-Gazing Gorge growing steadily, but Celestial River Mountain was still unseen around the Immortal Sect.

Meanwhile, in a small town in the Red Domain with tens of thousands of people, Celestial River Mountain lay in an Inn bed, recovering the gesture in his palm.

Five or six days had passed, yet the strange piercing wound in his hand had inexplicably not healed, and regardless of what methods Celestial River Mountain used, he couldn’t heal it quickly. The residual Sword Intent in the wound was beyond his ability to remove.

"This sword, this Sword Intent, is truly bizarre." Celestial River Mountain continued using Vein Qi to scour the wound, clearing the residual Sword Intent.

While clearing the wound, aside from the resentment in his heart, Celestial River Mountain felt a slight bewilderment. Who’s backing the Immortal Sect?

To nurture a Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm cultivator to rival him, such ability is truly remarkable.

Even a Half-Step Primordial Vast may not be capable of it.

Realizing this brought a trace of unease to Celestial River Mountain. But then he recalled, genuine Primordial Vast Realm experts aren’t tolerated by the world of Heaven-Gazing Gorge, nor would they resist the world’s exclusion to stubbornly remain.

A thought came uncontrollably.

Could it be a legacy?

Like the Primordial Nether Realm?

"It seems to be the only possibility." With this thought, Celestial River Mountain suddenly felt a bit excited.

The legacy of a Primordial Vast Realm expert.

There might be a path to the Primordial Vast Realm.

Even if there isn’t.

Its legacy would certainly be more precious than that within the Primordial Nether Realm, otherwise how could it enable a mere Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm cultivator to confront him, a Half-Step Primordial Vast cultivator, and even slightly win?

However, Celestial River Mountain dared not assume his judgment was definitive, deciding to probe further, to prevent any unforeseen occurrences.

Past grudges could be avenged later.

If as he suspected, the Immortal Sect could be his great opportunity.

Having settled on his plan, Celestial River Mountain vanished from the room. When the inn’s runner came to deliver food, he was dumbfounded to find the room empty.

Where did he go?

Stay at Overlord Inn?

At this moment, Celestial River Mountain was already on his way back to the Purple Treasure Pavilion.

But he hadn’t arrived yet.

Someone had arrived before him.

That was Sima Tianxuan.

The City Lord’s Mansion of Divine Flight City had a Curved Realm Passage, directly connected from You Country Capital.

After exiting the Curved Realm Passage, Sima Tianxuan, with a spear, coldly inquired Yan Lai about the Purple Treasure Pavilion’s location, then headed there immediately.

Watching the silhouette of Sima Tianxuan departing, Yan Lai was stunned.

"Why did Prince Zhenyou come too?"

In stunned confusion, an angry shout echoed throughout Divine Flight City.

"Where are the people of the Immortal Sect? The fourteenth on the Celestial Ranking is here to challenge. Let that Sword God surnamed Li come to see this king! Delay for a quarter-hour, and this king shall kill one person at the Purple Treasure Pavilion."

Sima Tianxuan arrived over the Purple Treasure Pavilion, holding a spear in position.

And the Meridian Gate was open!
