Chapter 266: Chapter 134 Immortal Artifact and Immortal Open Their Eyes_3
One could imagine that the Tribulation Crossing Practitioners here were mostly elders from various Holy Lands of the Immortal Sects, and there might also be other powerful figures present.
A group of these formidable practitioners was quite calm, all looking towards the inside of the gate at the moment.
“It’s the Immortal Sword… I never thought it would reappear in this world,” a Tribulation Crossing elder sighed, seemingly reminiscing about something.
“Vanished for millions of years, indeed the time for it to reappear has come,” a square-faced, domineering middle-aged man with his hands behind his back said calmly.
“This is, the Spirit Jade formed from the condensed Ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Marrow, such a large piece, it must have depleted the foundation of the Immortal Sect. Who is the person inside? To use such a great piece of Spirit Jade for burial,” an old woman said, staring at the young man sealed within the crystal, she asked in surprise.
The others were equally astonished and uncertain.
“This fellow cultivator’s body contains an extremely fearsome power, even in death it has not subsided; it’s probably a self-imposed seal, not wanting his corpse to turn into a Resentful Corpse and bring disaster to the area,” an old man speculated.
The others also nodded slightly, agreeing with this speculation.
Soon, they calmed down with their aura carrying a trace of sharpness.
It was time to get down to the main issue, the Immortal Artifact was right before their eyes, but with only one available and so many people here, it couldn’t be shared.
Only one person could obtain it.
The atmosphere grew silent, and the domineering middle-aged man said as if it were only natural, “The legacy of the Immortal Sword Sect naturally should be accepted by the Sword Sect, this Immortal Sword should be contested by the few Sword Tao Sects.”
“How does it matter if one isn’t a sword cultivator? I can also start learning the sword! How precious is an Immortal Artifact? I’m willing to switch my path,” an elder laughed and said.
“There’s nothing much to say, this is an Immortal Artifact from the Eastern Domain, people from the Central Domain should step aside,” said a young and beautiful woman, glancing at a young man.
The young man’s expression was cold as he looked at her, “Funny… since when do Immortal Artifacts belong to a certain region?”
As everyone spoke, their auras were gradually increasing, and soon, in the main hall, they transformed into a dreadful atmosphere like surging waves, sweeping through the hall.
It was only because the Great Powers held back their oppressive might that the Golden Core Cultivators were not directly crushed by this energy.
“In that case, let’s see the truth through combat!”
All the Tribulation Crossing Practitioners vanished from their spots simultaneously.
The next moment, terrifying roars erupted, the entire palace was shaking, the ground trembling as if it might shatter at any moment.
Even when the Great Powers previously dealt with the Resentful Corpse in the great hall, it hadn’t caused such a disturbance.
The cultivators in the main hall now had complicated expressions on their faces.
The Loose Cultivators had already calmed down, knowing that when even Tribulation Crossing Great Powers had arrived, what was inside was beyond their aspirations.
They even began to entertain thoughts of retreat.
However, the sect cultivators were extremely worried, hoping that their own ancient ancestors would triumph.
After all, this was an Immortal Artifact!
If it were brought back, the sect would gain a strong trump card.
Especially for the Holy Lands of the Immortal Sects, having two Immortal Artifacts in hand, who could stand against them?
Yet, some had other thoughts and looked strangely at Lu Yi.
The most unfortunate one had to be this exceptional genius from the Eastern Domain, though it’s unknown from where this genius got the key of the Immortal Sword Sect, by unlocking this Immortal Array, the Immortal Artifact would definitely be irrelevant to him.
The Heavenly Palace’s Divinity Transformation cultivators sneered continuously, very pleased.
However, the disciples of the several Holy Lands showed some sympathy.
Jian Ruyu opened his mouth but found he didn’t know what to say, even if Lu Yi obtained the Immortal Artifact, he couldn’t keep it.
After all, the strength of the White Cloud Sect lay bare; acquiring the Immortal Artifact would only spell disaster.
Ding Qing looked at Lu Yi, patted his shoulder, and laughed, “Kiddo Lu, if my Divine Sword Sect obtains this Immortal Sword, I can lend you the Divine Sword Scripture as compensation.”
Nan Yuqing also spoke up, “If my Emperor Sword Sect obtains it, I can also lend you the Emperor Sword Scripture for your perusal.”
This statement made other cultivators glance sideways, some surprised.
The two Sword Sects were actually willing to lend their Sect Suppressing Skills to Lu Yi for a look?
Following that, Yuan Jin of the Taiyi Holy Land also smiled and said, “Young fellow, if my Taiyi Holy Land obtains this Divine Sword, you can also come to my Taiwan and study the Array Tao in the Taiyi Array Map.”
Hearing this, Lu Yi smiled and responded, “I appreciate the kindness from all the seniors, I am grateful.”
He wasn’t unhappy, Immortal Artifacts aside, he wasn’t quite suited to them now, he would eventually have them in the future.
Instead, he was in urgent need of the Cultivation Techniques.
If the Immortal Sword really ended up with the Divine Sword Sect, it would be even better; he could switch his cultivation to the Divine Sword Scripture.
Lu Yi contemplated this issue in his mind.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son suddenly pointed at the crystal, somewhat uncertainly, “Do you see that crystal… are there some cracks appearing?”
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the main hall stalled, everyone sharply turned their heads to look at the crystal.
The crystal floated in the air, with the Immortal Sword casting down golden glows that enshrouded it, and despite the great tumult outside, it remained calm.
However, at this moment, fine cracks had appeared on the crystal.
Moreover, the cracks were even enlarging slowly.
This shocked everyone.
“How is this possible? Under the protection of the Immortal Artifact, this Spirit Jade should be invulnerable, how could it crack?”
“Could it be due to the long passage of time?”
“How is that possible?! The creation of Spirit Jade itself takes hundreds of millions of years, it cannot crack due to age.”
Everyone discussed this fervently.
Lu Yi felt the Immortal Sword Order in his hand suddenly tremble, and a terrifying idea surfaced in his mind.
Lu Yi swallowed his saliva, his face paling slightly, “Is it possible, that the person inside isn’t actually dead, and is now reviving?”
“???”
At Lu Yi’s words, the air in the main hall became very silent.
Everyone’s eyes widened, frozen in place.
Even the various Great Powers were now sweating.
Ding Qing looked at the increasingly large cracks in the crystal, swallowed his saliva, “It should… probably not be the case?”
Just at that moment, the young man inside the crystal suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils interwoven with golden Sword Patterns emitting a mysterious light, seemingly solidifying the space around him as the rumbling outside abruptly ceased.
Like an Immortal slowly opening his eyes, the entire world dared not disturb him.
