System's Super Sect Chapter 1478 - 1245: Imperial Decree Cannot Be Disobeyed

Chen Xie responded, "Sect Leader, if there are any new developments, I’ll notify you immediately. By the way, Sect Leader, Elder Weisheng might be in some trouble. He’s already entered the Extermination of the Nether Realm, and now the members of the Shadow Tower are everywhere there."

"Don’t worry about him, just keep an eye on Yiluotian." Wen Ping said no more, cutting off the Sound Transmission Stone and began pondering to himself.

Is it time to establish a sect in the Black Domain?

After all, one of the main line tasks is to either dismantle the Shadow Tower or notify the Shadow Tower, and the rewards for the task are quite generous.

But how should the sect be established in the Black Domain?

Wen Ping deliberated over and over again and decided to go with the original plan.

After all, the forces within the Shadow Tower’s realm have always adhered to the creed of the strong reigning supreme, the survival conditions are far harsher than those of the You Country.

Moreover, the Sword Demon has already made a name for himself in the Black Domain, so if the Immortal Sect establishes a sect there, it can follow the Sword Demon’s style.

Those who refuse to obey, deal with them.

Then use Jinzhilou to control them.

Of course.

Not in the form of vassals.

The Immortal Sect won’t casually accept vassals.

Thinking of this, Wen Ping opened the map of the Black Domain and, combined with the intelligence from Jinzhilou, began to look for a location for the Immortal Sect’s new sect grounds.

"Why not start with Blacktan City?" Blacktan City is the center of the Black Domain, and it was once the main base of the Shadow Tower’s Battle Division. Moreover, the Sword Demon has the highest prestige here.

Let’s start from here!

Once the location is decided, the next step is to accumulate prestige to upgrade the Main Hall and gain the opportunity to establish new sect grounds.

"System, how many times do I need to upgrade the Main Hall in order to establish new sect grounds?"

The system responded, "No need to upgrade the Main Hall, the host can purchase new sect grounds from the building list."

"Being able to purchase directly, that’s clear!"

Wen Ping immediately opened the system’s building list, then searched for the rights to establish new sect grounds, discovering that it only requires ten thousand prestige.

He currently possesses that amount.

However, Wen Ping was not in a hurry to purchase, as there hasn’t been an on-site inspection, and the time required for establishing new sect grounds is very little, so there’s no need to rush.

He could wait until the Sword Demon emerges from the Final Forbidden Area before establishing new sect grounds.

Why wait for the Sword Demon?

Because Wen Ping himself doesn’t intend to get overly involved with the affairs in the Shadow Tower’s realm, leaving everything to the Sword Demon and Chen Xie.

If they encounter issues they can’t resolve, he would then step in.

After closing the building list, Wen Ping once again left the Immortal Sect, piloting the Flying Ship to begin devouring the Wood Qi in the forests along the planned route. But since the Changmo Technique has been upgraded to the Primordial Vast Level, the speed of devouring Wood Qi is incredibly fast.

Across the entire Primordial Yang Domain, Wen Ping estimated, it would only last a month at most!

And so, another two days passed.

Sikong Zhuxing brought Ji’s Golden Scroll, having journeyed from the battlefields of Celestial Gaze Gorge to East Ridge, finally meeting He Youyuan himself.

However, before meeting He Youyuan, he first saw Si Haixian. The two gave each other a knowing glance and exchanged a simple greeting.

"Why are you here instead of properly managing the Inspection Hall?" Compared to before, a visible furrow was now present on He Youyuan’s brow.

Sikong Zhuxing wanted to compliment He Youyuan, but He Youyuan got straight to the point, leaving Sikong Zhuxing no choice but to invite He Youyuan into the tent first.

Immediately, he erected a Sound Insulation Barrier!

Seeing this, He Youyuan’s expression changed, but before he could ask anything, he noticed the National Lord’s Golden Scroll in Sikong Zhuxing’s hand.

At this moment, how could He Youyuan not know that something significant was about to happen? Something likely as impactful as the fall of the two old ancestors, Fu Tianxie and Jiang Heshan.

"Master, the Sovereign has decided to negotiate with the Shadow Tower. The specific content, the Sovereign said you’ll understand once you read the Golden Scroll."

He Youyuan quickly took the Golden Scroll, infused it with Vein Qi, and unlocked the sealed Golden Scroll.

After staring at it for a few breaths, he put away the Golden Scroll gravely and fell into contemplation.

"The Sovereign’s action is truly difficult to accept. I’d rather die in battle than bow to the Shadow Tower."

Sikong Zhuxing quickly agreed, "Who wouldn’t say so? I’ve tried persuading, but the Sovereign is set on negotiating. Perhaps you could return to the Capital City and persuade the Sovereign? We’ve fought with the Shadow Tower for hundreds of years, we’ve already bowed once, but bowing a second time is utterly unacceptable."

"Persuade? It can’t be done. Since the Sovereign has already made a decision, even I cannot change his mind. But ultimately, the root cause lies with the Immortal Sect. Their sudden rise has forced the Sovereign to make such a move. The Immortal Sect is a thorn in You Country’s side; if it’s not removed promptly, it’ll only lead to endless problems. Thinking long term, it’s best to deal with the Immortal Sect first. As for the Shadow Tower, as long as there are old ancestors present, there shouldn’t be too big of an issue."

With that said, He Youyuan let out a deep breath, his gaze becoming firm. Clearly, he agreed with the You Country Sovereign’s actions.

Sikong Zhuxing witnessed it and could only smile bitterly.

Is the turnaround that swift?

Isn’t it?

Where is your dignity?

Where is your pride?

Are you not the first person in the Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm?

In people’s minds, indeed.

As well as in the Celestial Ranking!

Sikong Zhuxing wanted to make a last-ditch effort, "Master, but if we bow, the Shadow Tower people will certainly demand exorbitant concessions. Are we going to cede several great realms to them again? If the Beize Domain is ceded away, it would immediately be renamed the Extermination of the Nether Realm, and become a blade pointed directly at our hearts. Moreover, unless the Shadow Tower’s Half-Step Primordial Vast acts, what is that Yiluotian anyway?"

He Youyuan insisted, "You think I don’t know? You think the Sovereign doesn’t know? But the attitude and power the Immortal Sect is showing now forces us to walk this path. If we continue fighting, do you know what the consequences would be?"

Sikong Zhuxing still wanted to insist, but He Youyuan interrupted his thoughts, "Actually, I can’t keep this from you; the fact is, with the Immortal Sect’s sudden rise to prominence, both the Sovereign and the old ancestors suspect that the Immortal Sect has a complete Primordial Vast Realm expert legacy. Now you know why I said there’s no way to dissuade the Sovereign, do you? It’s not that I fear that Yiluotian, nor is it that I enjoy bowing my head and admitting defeat even with the title of the first person in the Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm."

With that, He Youyuan sighed deeply.

A trace of helplessness was evident in the determination in his eyes.

The royal decree cannot be defied!

He Youyuan continued, "Don’t rush back just yet, wait for me to take a trip to the Extermination of the Nether Realm to meet with Yiluotian."

"Yes!"

Sikong Zhuxing could only nod in agreement.

Immediately following, He Youyuan removed the Sound Insulation Barrier from the tent, instructed Si Haixian with a couple of words, and then left the encampment.

And just like that.

He Youyuan single-handedly entered the battlefield, heading straight to the rear encampment of the Extermination of the Nether Realm.

For He Youyuan’s sudden arrival, the Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm experts of the Shadow Tower were all shocked, directly opening their Meridian Gates.

He Youyuan followed suit by opening his Meridian Gate, unleashing the terrifying aura of the first person in the Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm, and then shouted loudly, "Is Yiluotian present?"

"He Youyuan, you really don’t fear death, coming directly to my base. That damn Celestial Ranking has you listed as the first person in the Upper Realm; do you think you really are the first in the Upper Realm?" As the words fell, a black dazzling streak suddenly shot out from within the camp.

(Today’s update isn’t as much as the past two days.

Apologies.

Still, please give me a Monthly Pass.

Only a few days are left in the month.

The number of Monthly Passes is about to break 1000; could you help me achieve that?

I will definitely write more tomorrow.)
