Chapter 1153: Chapter 714: Sky-breaking Sword Sect, Omen of Cataclysm

Being watched by everyone, "Thirteen" felt a tightness in his heart.

He knew this was his chance to perform.

If he could answer in a way that satisfied the Clan Leader, then his status within the clan would be elevated, and he would receive more resources.

He considered carefully, thought out his wording, and then slowly began to speak.

"Clan Leader, I have an idea. How about we find someone to join forces with?"

At his words, everyone seemed to be taken aback, as if shocked.

Some even showed anger on their faces.

The most furious among them was "Lao Qi."

"Well, Thirteen, I thought you had a good plan, but it turns out you want to cooperate with outsiders? Do you know how many people out there covet the Token we hold, and yet you want to invite the wolf into the house?"

"Indeed, the Token of our Immortal Clan has been passed down from our ancestors and absolutely cannot be shared with outsiders!"

"Thirteen, did you receive benefits from some family and deliberately coaxed us here?"

"Thirteen, do you want to become our clan’s traitor?"

Amidst these stern accusations, the face of the middle-aged man in purple robes turned serious.

Seeing this, "Thirteen" felt a jolt in his heart and quickly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this isn’t what you think. I have no doubts about my clan. If there’s any falsehood in my words, let me be struck by thunder and lightning, let the Heavenly Human Five Declines Tribulation fall upon me, and let me fail the next Primordial Spirit Tribulation!"

Upon hearing "Thirteen" emit the fluctuations of a Primordial Spirit, vowing, everyone fell silent.

Because the vow "Thirteen" made directly targeted the Dao Heart.

Such a vow isn’t made lightly, and if broken, it might not immediately come true, but his future path would be severely affected, becoming difficult and obscure for sure.

Seeing "Thirteen" dare to swear by his Primordial Spirit, only then did everyone stop accusing him.

The face of the purple-robed man softened somewhat.

"If you have no ulterior motives, then why suggest such an idea? Don’t you know the Token that enters the Returning Ruins Secret Realm is our Immortal Clan’s hope and must not be touched by outsiders?"

"Of course I know, but Clan Leader, it’s not that I’m underestimating others. You are also aware of the strength of those major sect forces.

Our clan has a foundation, but if we want to seize the opportunity from those few families, we may find it somewhat difficult."

The purple-robed man fell silent.

He wasn’t an arrogant person, and naturally understood the truth in Thirteen’s words.

In fact, Thirteen had understated the situation; their Immortal Clan’s current strength, if truly facing those families, wouldn’t just be difficult but very hard to gain any advantage.

However, the opportunity and treasure within the Returning Ruins Secret Realm were essential to them, affecting whether their Immortal Clan could restore the glory of the past and re-unify the Great Origin Immortal Domain.

As long as they could obtain that treasure, any cost would be worth it.

Thinking about this, the purple-robed man already had a plan in mind.

"It seems, Thirteen, you have planned everything out. So tell me, with whom do you want the clan to cooperate, or which family found you and asked you to persuade us?"

Thirteen, who was anxious, suddenly relaxed upon hearing the Clan Leader’s words, and a smile appeared on his face.

He knew the Clan Leader had finally been swayed by him.

...

In a vast Xinghe outside the Great Origin Immortal Domain, within a starry secret realm.

This secret realm was filled with countless sword-like peaks pointing towards the sky, seemingly wanting to cut through the starry sky.

Among countless peaks, a Sword Light flickered and danced, before landing atop the most majestic peak within the realm, revealing a young man in white.

"Sword Master, you summoned me, your disciple. What is the matter?"

The young man in white respectfully bowed to an elder in gray robes standing atop the peak.

"A few days ago, a treasure enshrined in our sect’s Ancestor Hall suddenly showed signs of activity, which I believe indicates the Returning Ruins Secret Realm is about to emerge."

The gray-robed elder, with his hands clasped behind his back, slowly said.

"Returning Ruins Secret Realm?"

The young man in white was first stunned, then his eyes widened as if he had recalled something.

"Sword Master, are you referring to that secret realm that appears once every ten thousand years, said to have been left behind by Immortal Huadao?"

"Indeed, that is the very realm." The gray-robed elder nodded. "Rumor has it that the legacy treasures of Immortal Huadao are within the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, and this emergence will certainly attract contention from various forces."

"So what are your intentions, Sword Master?"

"The legacy treasures of Immortal Huadao are extraordinary. Whoever seizes them may alter the power structure of surrounding Immortal Domains, and we naturally cannot stand idly by.

However, it is rumored that the Returning Ruins Secret Realm is guarded by restrictions laid down by Gui Xu Taoist, and only Primordial Spirit Realm Cultivators can enter.

Stronger than Primordial Spirit will find themselves hard-pressed unless they are more powerful than Gui Xu Taoist, or they will certainly perish.

Choose some disciples at the Primordial Spirit Realm from our sect, and when the Returning Ruins Secret Realm opens, lead them in to see if any opportunity can be seized.

Even if none can be taken, ensure that it does not fall into the hands of Demon Path forces."

Hearing the gray-robed elder’s exhortation, the young man in white became solemn: "Yes, Sword Master!"

"No need to rush this matter too much," the gray-robed elder said. "Based on the records left by the ancestors, the Token showing signs of activity merely indicates a fluctuation occurring in the Star Sea. The true emergence of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm is still some time away, so select the disciples without haste."

"Understood, Master."

"There is another matter," the gray-robed elder continued, "Recently, I heard of an unusual young man wielding our sect’s Heaven Breaking Sword Intent.

In the Heavenly Origin Great World within the Great Origin Immortal Domain, he stirred up trouble and slew some Primordial Spirit Realm individuals.

The Human Race forces in the Great Origin Immortal Domain have lodged protests against us for this.

When you have time, send someone to investigate what exactly is going on."

"A young man who knows the Heaven Breaking Sword Intent?" The white-robed young man was taken aback. "If he can kill Primordial Spirit Realm individuals, he must also be at the Primordial Spirit level. After I return, I will check who has been training in the Heavenly Origin Great World recently."

"Very well, you may proceed."

The gray-robed elder nodded, then waved his hand.

"I take my leave."

The young man in white bowed, then turned into a Sword Light and ascended into the sky.

Once the young man in white had gone far, the gray-robed elder finally turned around, a touch of concern on his weathered face.

"The emergence of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm draws ever nearer to the time forewarned by the Third Ancestor, yet there is no clue as to what this so-called great disaster is."

Thoughts of the Third Ancestor’s relic instruction deepened the gray-robed elder’s grave mood.

Because the contents of that relic instruction were simply astonishing.

"We can only take it one step at a time, hoping that the emergence of this Returning Ruins Secret Realm might offer some sign of the impending disaster."
