Chapter 156: Sect-Protecting Immortal Artifact, Taihao Immortal Mirror

Black Veil Islands.

Main Island Council Hall.

Twelve Soul Transformation Stage Heavenly Monarchs and fifty-six Nascent Soul Stage True Monarchs gathered here.

Even amidst the chaotic and ever-changing factions of the East Sea Islands.

Twelve Heavenly Monarchs and fifty-six True Monarchs were still a force that could not be ignored.

Placed among the eight hundred unorthodox Sects and three thousand leftist paths, they were enough to rank in the top ten.

More importantly, the faction of the Black Veil Islands had completely integrated into the East Sea Islands.

Except for the three strongest Soul Transformation Stage Heavenly Monarchs, no one knew that the Black Veil Islands were secretly controlled and driven by Mu Mengting of the Moral Immortal Sect.

Although the eight hundred unorthodox Sects and three thousand leftist paths of the East Sea Islands fought among themselves year-round.

But they were exceptionally xenophobic. If they found out that a hidden agent of the Moral Immortal Sect had sneaked into their territory,

Even if they dared not make a move against them, they would subconsciously stop infighting and instinctively unite.

This would violate the basic policy of the Moral Immortal Sect towards the East Sea Islands.

For the Moral Immortal Sect, the chaotic and infighting-ridden eight hundred unorthodox Sects and three thousand leftist paths of the East Sea Islands were the best situation. As for unity? How was that any different from the Demonic Path, ghost path, and Demonic Path?

Mu Mengting secretly controlled the Black Veil Islands, disrupting the situation in the East Sea while conveniently collecting a massive amount of resources and wealth; his methods were brilliant.

Compared to the Sect's other complex tasks of suppressing the Demonic Path in the north, the Yao path in the west, and the ghost path in the south, the Black Veil Islands controlled by Mu Mengting were definitely a lucrative position.

This was also the Moral Immortal Sect Sect Master's 'favoritism' towards Mu Mengting.

"After a while, I will make a trip to the Central Earth Divine Continent and hand over the harvest of these hundred years."

In the council hall, a Soul Transformation Stage Heavenly Monarch sitting in the main seat thought to himself.

He looked at the many Nascent Soul Stage True Monarchs below and the other Heavenly Monarchs sitting on the left and right, just as he was about to speak.

At that very moment.

This Soul Transformation Stage Heavenly Monarch's expression changed slightly.

He suddenly felt that the surrounding air had suddenly become scorching hot.

"Not good."

The dozen or so Soul Transformation Stage Heavenly Monarchs' expressions changed drastically, subconsciously shooting up into the sky. The aura uniquely belonging to Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators, a pressure that looked down upon the common people and dominated the ups and downs of existence, suddenly erupted.

However.

The next moment.

a trace of despair surfaced on the faces of the dozen or so Soul Transformation Stage Heavenly Monarchs.

Because——

they saw a 'sun'

plummeting down towards the Black Veil Islands.

Above the clouds.

Lin Yuan withdrew his right hand, his gaze glancing down at the Black Veil Islands below.

At this moment, the Black Veil Islands had already turned into a sea of fire. Auras of True Monarchs and Heavenly Monarchs continuously erupted, only to be rapidly extinguished.

"The secret technique of the Wanyang lineage truly has heaven-shaking killing power."

Seeing this, Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

The sun he had just thrown down was a simplified version of the secret technique 'Ten Thousand Suns in the Same Sky' once unleashed by the Wanyang Holy Son.

Having fought the Wanyang Holy Son twice, Lin Yuan had long since used his Heaven-Defying Comprehension to learn seven or eight parts out of ten of the ultimate techniques and methods on him.

If he were in the Main World, Lin Yuan naturally would not casually unleash such secret killing moves related to the Wanyang lineage.

Because it was easy for other high-tier Evolvers to recognize, which could easily lead to 'copyright' disputes.

The Human Alliance in the Main World had sound legal systems and protected various secret killing moves very well. If you were not a Disciple of this lineage and had not purchased the secret technique of this lineage, yet used it,

that would be stealing knowledge.

Regardless of which Star Domain or star alliance it was in, it was an illegal act.

But when shuttling through worlds, there was no need to hide it.

Especially now that Lin Yuan was a Primordial Spirit Clone, he needed to be even less cautious.

"Black Veil Islands."

Lin Yuan lowered his head to overlook, confirming that there were no fish that slipped through the net.

The reason why he made a move against the Black Veil Islands was mainly due to two reasons.

First, to vent his anger for himself and Jun Dongjin.

His father Jun Dongjin's Aptitude was a mutated Heavenly Spiritual Root, and his talent surpassed the young generation of the Moral Immortal Sect.

But due to his identity, when facing Mu Mengting's provocation, he could only endure and concede.

Now that there was an opportunity to retaliate, Lin Yuan naturally would not let it go.

Second, he wanted to spread the Martial Dao Evolution Path in the East Sea Islands, and eventually, he would inevitably collide with the Black Veil Islands.

Rather than being hindered and disgusted by the Black Veil Islands in the future, it was better to make a clean break now and directly annihilate the Black Veil Islands.

"Hm?"

"Gather!"

Lin Yuan overlooked the Black Veil Islands below and took a light breath.

In an instant, a massive amount of extremely pure Spiritual Qi surged over completely.

As a top faction of the East Sea Islands, the Black Veil Islands naturally stored a large amount of treasure resources.

Especially the resources collected for Mu Mengting that had not yet been handed over, which existed in the treasury on the island and inside the Storage Ring of the leading Soul Transformation Heavenly Monarch.

Now that the Black Veil Islands had fallen into a sea of fire and everything was burned clean, those treasure resources were burned by the sun's true fire into the purest Spiritual Qi and spirituality.

All of them were swallowed into Lin Yuan's belly.

"Quite a lot."

Lin Yuan finished swallowing in one gulp, a smile appearing on his face.

The spirituality and Spiritual Qi he had just devoured were enough to push an Early Stage Soul Transformation Heavenly Monarch to the Middle Stage or even Late Stage Soul Transformation.

Moral Immortal Sect.

Mu Mengting stood up, reporting the battle achievements of these years to the Sect Master of the Moral Immortal Sect, detailing how the Black Veil Islands under his control had disrupted the situation in the East Sea.

Suddenly.

Mu Mengting's expression changed drastically.

"How is this possible?!"

Mu Mengting's face was unsightly.

Even carrying a trace of panic.

Because he sensed that the life tablets of all the Soul Transformation Heavenly Monarchs and Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Black Veil Islands had shattered together at the exact same moment.

What did this mean?

It meant that all the Soul Transformation Heavenly Monarchs and Nascent Soul True Monarchs had already fallen.

And the time of their fall was nearly identical.

Furthermore.

It also meant that the Black Veil Islands he had painstakingly managed no longer existed. Even the Soul Transformation Heavenly Monarchs and Nascent Soul True Monarchs had fallen, let alone the other Cultivator personnel?

"What happened?"

Seated in the main seat, the Moral Immortal Sect Sect Master spoke.

"Sect Master."

"Just now, the Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul figures of the Black Veil Islands have all fallen."

Mu Mengting did not dare to conceal it and immediately said.

"What?"

The Moral Immortal Sect Sect Master's gaze was ice-cold.

"Audacious!"

The Moral Immortal Sect Sect Master suddenly stood up.

At the same time.

Above the head of the Moral Immortal Sect Sect Master.

A 'mirror' emanating boundless light and boundless tribulations emerged.

Hum!!!

A beam of mirror light seemed to pierce through space and time, shooting out from the highest point of the Moral Immortal Sect. In just a few breaths of time, it descended before the Black Veil Islands in the East Sea.

"Hm?"

Above the clouds, Lin Yuan, who was still reminiscing, changed his expression slightly, raising his head to look at the terrifying 'mirror light' penetrating from the direction of the Moral Immortal Sect.

His figure disappeared silently.

The next instant.

The mirror light descended.

Transforming into an illusory figure.

Looking closely, it was precisely the appearance of the Moral Immortal Sect Sect Master.

The illusory figure looked down at the Black Veil Islands, which had already turned into a sea of fire, swept its ice-cold gaze around, let out a cold snort, and then disappeared.

Hundreds of thousands of li away.

Lin Yuan's Primordial Spirit appeared.

"That is the Sect-protecting Immortal Artifact of the Moral Immortal Sect, the Taihao Immortal Mirror?"

Lin Yuan's expression was slightly solemn as he thought to himself.

With his Primordial Spirit body, it had taken him a full half month to fly from the Yunwu Blessed Land to the East Sea.

Yet the Moral Immortal Sect Sect Master, relying on the Taihao Immortal Mirror, descended to the East Sea in mere seconds?

Was the Moral Immortal Sect Sect Master too strong?

Naturally not.

The Moral Immortal Sect Sect Master was only at the Void Refining Void Tempering Realm, equivalent to the sixth-order fourth to ninth stage levels of the Main World.

It was impossible to have such terrifying speed.

All of this was because of the Moral Immortal Sect's Sect-protecting Immortal Artifact.

Taihao Immortal Mirror.

This Immortal Artifact had infinite might; its mirror light could illuminate any corner of the Central Earth Divine Continent.

"No wonder 120,000 years ago, the Blood Demon Lord of the north, the Ghost Cultivator King of the south, and the desolate Yao Saint of the east gathered the power of three Refining Void Ancient Saint levels, attempting to initiate a decisive battle, yet they were still beaten and crushed by the Moral Immortal Sect."

Lin Yuan's thoughts surged.

"However, the one who descended just now should not be the Sect Master's true body, but an Immortal Mirror Incarnation. Furthermore, descending across such a long distance is also a considerable consumption."

Lin Yuan analyzed in his heart.

Moral Immortal Sect.

Inside the grand hall.

The Moral Immortal Sect Sect Master, who had stood up, saw the Immortal Mirror above his head slowly disappear.

The Moral Immortal Sect Sect Master also sat down again.

"Sect Master?"

Mu Mengting couldn't help asking.

At this moment, his heart ached intensely; the Black Veil Islands were built with his many years of painstaking effort.

Those dozen or so Soul Transformation Heavenly Monarchs and dozens of Nascent Soul True Monarchs were not only his subordinates cultivated over many years independent of the Moral Immortal Sect, but their usefulness in the East Sea Islands was also irreplaceable.

The Moral Immortal Sect looked down on the East Sea Islands because their resources were scarce and there was no need to occupy them.

But resource scarcity was relative to the Moral Immortal Sect. For a certain Cultivator, if they could grasp the East Sea Islands in their hands, even if it was only a small portion, the returns would still be exceptionally considerable.

Mu Mengting had a deep appreciation of this in recent years.

Only now.

Everything was gone.

They didn't know how much they had paid to barely Cultivate more than a dozen Soul Transformation Heavenly Monarchs, and they all went down the drain in an instant.

"The person ran away."

The Moral Immortal Sect Sect Master shook his head slightly.

As soon as these words came out,

everyone present revealed expressions of shock.

Even Mu Mengting, whose heart ached intensely, constricted his pupils.

The Sect Master activated the Sect-protecting Immortal Artifact, the Taihao Immortal Mirror, whose might was boundless and matchless, yet he actually let the person who destroyed the Black Veil Islands run away?

"Look."

The Moral Immortal Sect Sect Master's mind moved slightly.

Scene after scene of illusory images emerged above the grand hall.

Although he didn't catch the culprit just now, based on the lingering aura at the scene, he recalled some of the images.

Everyone in the grand hall looked towards the images.

Black Veil Islands, sea water rippling.

The Black Veil Islands in the image were very calm.

At this moment, above the clouds, a figure appeared I know not when.

The figure was hazy and indistinct, unable to see its specific form and appearance, quietly overlooking the Black Veil Islands below.

Under everyone's gaze.

The hazy figure above the clouds slowly extended its right hand.

In an instant, the image began to distort, and endless fire-type power continuously gathered on the right hand of the hazy figure, forming a small sun composed of a massive amount of sun true fire.

The brilliance and scorching heat of the small sun almost rivaled the great sun in the sky.

The scene that happened next made everyone's hearts turn cold.

The person above the clouds merely gave a gentle toss, and threw the 'small sun' in his hand down towards the Black Veil Islands.

The image ended.

"What a terrifying fire-type Dao technique."

The curly-haired old man with golden lion fur couldn't help exclaiming.

In just the span of a breath, to condense such a massive sun true fire—this was not only due to strength and Realm, but also one's terrifying mastery over Taiyang power.

"When did such an expert appear in the East Sea?"

On the high seat, the Moral Immortal Sect Sect Master said with a frown.

Judging by the strength displayed by that hazy figure, it was already the pinnacle of Soul Transformation, and even began to infinitely approach the Refining Void Ancient Saint level.

"You all pay more attention to this person."

The Moral Immortal Sect Sect Master said.

"Yes."

Everyone below spoke in unison.

"Xiaoyao, Zhilan, the two of you stay inside the Sect recently and don't go out."

Mu Lianer glanced at Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhilan, transmitting her voice: "If you encounter this person, don't even think about resisting; directly use your life-saving methods and run."

After Mu Lianer finished admonishing, her gaze looked towards Lin Yuan, who was sitting beside her and looked extremely well-behaved.

"The two of you should learn more from Wuji. Don't think about going out all day long; how dangerous is outside? Wuji is very good, staying in the Yunwu Blessed Land all day and going nowhere."

Mu Lianer took a gratified look at her younger son.

Although Jun Wuji had no Spiritual Root, he was much more steady, at least not causing her to feel worried or anything similar.

A short while later.

The Void Tempering Ceremony ended.

Lin Yuan, escorted by Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhilan,

returned to the Yunwu Blessed Land.

"Little brother, we're heading back first."

Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhilan greeted him and hurriedly left.

Clearly, the appearance of a mysterious expert proficient in fire-type Dao techniques in the East Sea had attracted the attention of the Moral Immortal Sect, and they needed to go back and discuss how to deal with this expert.

The Moral Immortal Sect acted extremely tyrannically and would absolutely not allow Experts surpassing their control to appear.

A month later.

News came from the East Sea.

White Jade Island was about to manifest in the world.

White Jade Island was a very special island. It was equivalent to a blessed land and grotto-heaven of the East Sea, filled with dense Spiritual Qi inside, belonging to a cultivation Holy Land.

However, White Jade Island was not stationary. Every two thousand years, it would sink to the bottom of the deep sea.

The bottom of the deep sea was extremely dangerous, where ancient Yao Beasts and Vicious Beasts left over from hundreds of thousands of years ago infested the place.

Therefore, every time White Jade Island sank, Cultivators staying on the island had to leave. Even Soul Transformation Stage Heavenly Monarchs did not dare to sink along with White Jade Island.

At the bottom of the deep sea, there was terrifying sea pressure, and even Soul Transformation Stage Heavenly Monarchs would have their strength restricted, coupled with those unfathomable ancient Vicious Beasts and Yao Beasts.

Even Soul Transformation Stage Heavenly Monarchs would feel their scalps go numb.

And since the last time White Jade Island sank to the bottom of the deep sea, two thousand years had passed. Calculating the time, White Jade Island was about to float back up in the near future.

By then, White Jade Island would carry the rich Spiritual Qi accumulated over two thousand years and return to the East Sea.

You must know that the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the East Sea was not high to begin with; out of those dozens of places suitable for cultivation, most were occupied by the eight hundred unorthodox Sects and three thousand leftist paths.

Now that White Jade Island was about to manifest, countless East Sea Cultivators were rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, wanting to occupy an Immortal Cave for cultivation on White Jade Island.

Yunwu Blessed Land.

Inside the cultivation secret chamber.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, the aura within his body slowly undergoing changes, seemingly transforming bit by bit.

Finally.

as if reaching a certain limit.

Lin Yuan's entire aura abruptly soared, then quickly converged again.

"Sixth-order."

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.
