Master Wanxiang’s words eased the anxious True Immortals gathered around him.
While Master Wanxiang looked at the passage...
Considering the open conflict between both sides, this act was almost tantamount to a declaration of enmity.
He shifted his gaze toward the Eight-direction Mountain Suppressing Array that had been prepared earlier, "Then proceed with the contingency plan, refine the Eight-direction Mountain Suppressing Array into a Grotto Heaven."
As he said this, the faces of several Heavenly Immortals from the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect flashed through his mind, and finally he said, "When building the Grotto Heaven, use a large amount of Geng Metal Mysterious Stone, once the Grotto Heaven is established, have Daoist Xuan Jian take charge of its defense!"
Among the Heavenly Immortals of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, Daoist Xuan Jian was the one most adept at combat.
Having this Daoist Master in charge here showed Master Wanxiang’s determination to eliminate those from the Longevity World.
"Understood, we’ve been building the foundation of a Grotto Heaven under the guise of setting up the Eight-direction Mountain Suppressing Array for the past decade. Now that we don’t need to hide it anymore, it will take at most three months to assist Daoist Xuan Jian in completing the relocation of the Grotto Heaven."
A True Immortal elder approached and said solemnly.
Master Wanxiang nodded, his eyes filled with chilling intent, "For killing an elder of my Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, I will keep a close watch on the movements in the Longevity World for these three months. Should that Jiang Yufeng dare return to the Profound Immortal Realm, what awaits him will be a fatal blow from me."
With that, his figure gradually dissipated, returning to the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect.
Despite losing a Supreme True Immortal in this battle, they had managed to test the true strength of the Supreme Elder from the Creation Gate.
Approaching the level of a Top Heavenly Immortal!
"Creation Gate has secretly nurtured such a powerful being... An adversary that only an Immortal Master can contend with in guerrilla warfare... With this, I now have leverage to persuade the Heavenly Fire Sect. I don’t believe they would watch idly as a potential threat to their supremacy emerged in the Flame River Dao."
Gu Jinlai’s figure appeared directly at the heart of the three Grotto Heavens’ crossfire, accompanied by Divine Thought scans.
Not far away, the Grotto Heavens roared, and terrifying auras continued to rise.
Clearly, each Grotto Heaven was seated with a powerful True Immortal.
These True Immortals, in unity with the power of the Grotto Heavens, could unleash forces on par with Supreme True Immortals.
In other words, on the other side of this connecting passage, the Immortal Country had stationed three Supreme True Immortals to guard it, boasting formidable defensive power.
"Ancient True Immortal!?"
The Divine Thought scanning him paused momentarily, then a figure stepped out from the Grotto Heaven.
It was Zhang Tianye, the Peak True Immortal who had previously received Gu Jinlai.
Astonishment took hold of Zhang Tianye, "Ancient True Immortal actually... came out of this connecting passage?"
Gu Jinlai did not elaborate much, only asking, "Where is Immortal Master Zhao Xi?"
"The Immortal Master is currently within the Immortal Country, fully nurturing the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao."
Zhang Tianye responded without hesitation, his gaze towards Gu Jinlai tinged with fervor.
Now that their Immortal Country and the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect were at loggerheads, and Gu Jinlai could traverse through this connecting passage under such circumstances...
Could it be that he had slain the True Immortal Elders guarding on the other side for the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect?
Gu Jinlai, transformed into lightning, hastened on his way.
Before long, he had already arrived outside Zhao Xi’s Grotto Heaven.
Outside the Grotto Heaven, Zhao Xi had already been informed by Zhang Tianye and others guarding the connecting passage about Gu Jinlai’s arrival and had been waiting.
Upon seeing Gu Jinlai, he promptly opened the Grotto Heaven and welcomed him inside.
"I have mostly cleared out the Grotto Heaven! The Immortal Sui Mu, Beichen True Immortal, and Ying Huo True Immortal have been captured alive. Earth Suppressing True Immortal had to be killed due to fierce resistance, now the bodies are in my Grotto Heaven."
Zhao Xi got straight to the point.
"Good, I will interrogate them right away!"
Gu Jinlai nodded vigorously, "To know your enemy and know yourself and you will never be defeated. With these four, we have already won half the battle against the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect!"
