Chapter 65: Rushing In! The Outer Region of the Profound Heaven Sword Sect!
“The barrier is about to open.”
Bai Chen stood in mid-air, his voice calm and unwavering.
And just as his words fell,
BOOM!
The barrier entrance trembled violently, releasing a blinding golden light.
Then, before the eyes of countless warriors, a massive opening appeared in the blood-red barrier.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“Go! Charge in!”
“It’s finally open!”
“The immortal inheritance is mine!”
The moment the barrier split open, the gathered martial artists froze for a brief second. Then, in the next instant, chaos erupted. Those who had no backing and were merely lone wanderers rushed forward without hesitation.
They knew full well that compared to the royal forces of the Five Great Empires, they had zero advantages.
If they weren’t among the first to enter, they would stand no chance at claiming an inheritance.
But the Earthly Immortals leading the imperial forces remained calm and unmoved, simply watching them without interference, Until the very first warrior successfully stepped into the Profound Heaven Sword Sect. Then—
“The warriors of the Song Empire, advance!”
“The martial artists of the Ming Empire, enter!”
“Qin Empire’s forces, move forward!”
One after another the Earthly Immortals of each empire gave their commands.
…………………………………………………………………………………
BOOM!
Immediately—
A surge of immense true energy erupted from the Earthly Immortals, forming an invisible wall in front of the barrier!
“ARGH!”
Several warriors who had been charging too fast crashed directly into the barrier, sending them flying backwards.
Seeing this, the other warriors quickly halted their steps, their expressions twisting in frustration.
They understood now that the first person who had entered was nothing more than a test subject. The imperial forces had completely taken control of the entrance. A wave of resentment surged in their hearts. But none dared to challenge the Earthly Immortals? All they could do was grit their teeth and watch as the imperial forces stepped inside first.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“Little brother, I’ll be going ahead now!”
Floating in the air, Wanwan smiled sweetly at Bai Chen.
From her perspective, Bai Chen was clearly here for the Profound Heaven Sword Sect’s core inheritance.
As for the treasures left behind in the outer sect, he likely didn’t even care about them.
That was why even as warriors flooded into the barrier, Bai Chen remained completely unhurried. But Wanwan wasn’t like him. Aside from the sect’s inheritance, she was also very interested in the treasures of the outer sect.
She had an entire sect, the Yin Kui Sect, that required resources and powerful artefacts. With a playful glance at Bai Chen, she stepped into the barrier.
“…Interesting.”
Watching her leave, Yu Wentuo frowned slightly but did not stop her.
“Amitabha.”
“Bai Gongzi, I shall take my leave as well.”
Shi Feixuan spoke calmly before following behind.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“Things are about to get… interesting.”
“But—”
“It’s probably not what you’re expecting.”
Watching as warriors swarmed inside, Bai Chen’s lips curled slightly.
He had designed the entire Profound Heaven Sword Sect himself. He knew exactly what awaited them inside. Most of these people believed that the sect was simply a land of great opportunity. But it wasn’t really that simple.
Bai Chen shook his head and vanished instantly.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“What?!”
“He’s gone!”
Yu Wentuo’s pupils contracted, his face filled with shock. From the moment the barrier had opened, he had been watching Bai Chen closely. Yet when Bai Chen moved, he had completely lost track of him. His heart tightened.
“If I can’t even see him move, then if we fought, wouldn’t I be completely helpless?”
“Is the Spirit Refinement and Void Return Realm… really this terrifying?”
For the first time, Yu Wentuo felt a burning desire to reach a higher realm.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“This man… is untouchable.”
“Why? Why is he from the Ming Empire?”
“We must report to the emperor immediately—”
“Under no circumstances should we offend Bai Chen!”
The other Earthly Immortals from the imperial forces felt a chill run down their spines.
To reach their level they were all exceptionally intelligent. They knew one thing for sure, when one’s strength surpassed the limits of the world, even the rules of an empire became meaningless. If a nation foolishly thought it could challenge such an individual, it would only lead to disaster. Although Bai Chen might not be able to destroy an empire single-handedly, Killing a few royal figures would be effortless. And thus, Offending Bai Chen was the last thing any empire should do.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“So this is the Profound Heaven Sword Sect?”
“No—this is just the outer region!”
“The barrier only covered a few miles, yet inside, it feels like an entirely different world!”
“This place is massive—how can it only be a sect’s headquarters?”
The moment warriors stepped inside, they were left completely speechless.
Before entering they had assumed that the Profound Heaven Sword Sect wasn’t very large.
Perhaps a few miles wide at most. After all If the sect was small, it would be easier to find the treasures within.
They realised now how wrong they were. Even the strongest martial artists present, those at the Celestial Phenomena Realm, could not see the end of the sect’s territory.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“This place must span at least a thousand miles!”
“A sect’s headquarters… covering such an immense area?”
Floating in mid-air, Wanwan’s eyes flickered with awe. She had long known that the Profound Heaven Sword Sect was a hegemonic force of the Western Continent. She had never doubted the vastness of its domain. But to see it with her own eyes, the sheer scale of the sect’s headquarters was beyond reason! Even if a Celestial Phenomena Realm warrior ran at full speed, It would still take an entire day to traverse this land.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“It’s not just the size…”
“The spiritual energy here is incredibly dense!”
Shi Feixuan’s expression turned serious.
The moment she entered, she immediately sensed the immense concentration of spiritual energy in the air. For both martial artists and cultivators, spiritual energy was everything. For ordinary warriors, it was optional. But to reach the Celestial Phenomena Realm, spiritual energy became a necessity.
For immortal cultivators, every moment of cultivation required absorbing the energy of the heavens.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“Such an enormous sect—”
“Where do we even start looking for treasures?”
“Heh, if I knew where the treasures were—why would I tell you?”
Already, arguments had broken out among the warriors. But many others had already chosen a direction and vanished into the distance without a word. The competition had truly begun.
