Chapter 236: Chapter 235 Relocation of the Entire Clan 1
Translator: 549690339 , —
Recently, a large number of powerful warriors have come from the Immortal World. Although these warriors are extremely well-concealed, with the capabilities of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect today, perceiving this matter is not difficult.
With only one month left until the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s relocation from the Immortal World, the arrival of so many top-tier warriors dispersed in various places naturally causes Mu Xingzhi and Baili Changkong considerable worry.
They suspect that these warriors were sent by the Immortal Court but have found no evidence.
They can only hope that Ancestor Master Tianji Zi had already made proper arrangements and that nothing would go wrong.
As time passed day by day, after a month, the entire Heavenly Mechanism Sect was eagerly awaiting!
Except for those who were in closed-door cultivation within the Seven Mystery Tower, the entire Heavenly Mechanism Sect mobilized, waiting outside the mountain gate.
Ten thousand miles away from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, a Floating Peak slowly drifted over, on which stood the Ascend to Immortal Platform!
The once Ascend to Immortal Platform had now become a Transmission Array connecting with the Immortal World.
The Floating Peak stopped fifty thousand miles away from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, and the next moment, an Immortal Emperor clad in golden armor appeared on the Ascend to Immortal Platform, followed by a group of guards dressed in uniform silver armor.
These guards, all Profound Immortal realm powerhouses, numbered as many as three thousand.
“It’s the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Immortal Court!” Baili Changkong’s expression turned grave.
Before the people of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect from the Immortal World had arrived, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals had already come!
“With the Pill League’s protection, could there still be a mishap?” Mu Xingzhi frowned and murmured to himself.
Baili Changkong clenched his teeth in secrecy, “The Pill League has tremendous influence, but if the Immortal Court were to ignore the influence of the Pill League and forcibly intervene, there is no force under the heavens that could contend with them.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Soldiers split into two rows, all turning in unison to face the Ascend to Immortal Platform, while the leading golden-armored Immortal Emperor stood by the platform, quietly waiting.
In just a few breaths’ time, twelve figures appeared on the Ascend to Immortal Platform.
Leading them was an amiable elderly man with white hair and beard, whose slightly hunched figure was filled with an air of immortal grace. Just one glance at him and one would feel warmed, as if bathed in a spring breeze.
“It’s the Ancestor Master!” Baili Changkong spoke, his expression filled with astonished uncertainty.
Mu Xingzhi had only seen Ancestor Master Tianji Zi in portraits, and now, being able to see the real person, his body trembled slightly with excitement.
Next to the Ascend to Immortal Platform, the golden-armored Immortal Emperor clasped his fists, “Senior Tianji Zi, we were ordered to escort your sect back to the Kunlun Realm. Now that we have safely arrived, we should return to report.”
Tianji Zi smiled without a word, nodding slightly, his gaze shifting toward the direction of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
The golden-armored Immortal Emperor did not say much either, taking the lead to step onto the Ascend to Immortal Platform. He injected a stream of Immortal Yuan into the platform and then disappeared from sight.
The three thousand silver-armored Heavenly Soldiers also orderly stepped onto the Ascend to Immortal Platform and left in batches.
Fifty thousand miles away, the upper echelons of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect all let out a long sigh of relief, “So they were just escorting the Ancestor Master and the others back!”
Mu Xingzhi shook his head, “It’s not that simple. The crisis might have just begun.”
“Sect Master, did you calculate something with the Heaven Secret Technique?” the Seventh Elder asked.
Mu Xingzhi shook his head again, “Do we even need to use the Heaven Secret Technique for this? Now that the Immortal Court has distanced itself from the matter, our crisis is bound to come!”
Baili Changkong agreed with Mu Xingzhi’s words and nodded, “Let’s all be prepared. What comes next, I fear, is a bloody battle!”
The Immortal Court sent the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to escort them, ostensibly giving enough respect, and also showing a stance of not hindering the relocation of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, but this was only on the surface.
Mu Xingzhi and Baili Changkong hadn’t forgotten, in the past three months, a large number of strong warriors from the Immortal World had arrived, scattered throughout the Southern Domain.
Now that the Immortal Court has cleared its involvement, those people are likely to take action!
In the distance, Tianji Zi and the other eleven made their steps, appearing in front of the mountain gate.
“Greetings to the Ancestor Master!”
All the members of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect bowed in unison, paying their respects.
A warm smile adorned Tianji Zi’s face. He had single-handedly established this sect, and though it experienced many ups and downs over the years, it still stood proudly, its legacy unbroken and continuously passed down.
“Rise, everyone,” Tianji Zi said with a smile. With a wave of his hand, an Immortal Mansion appeared in his palm.
The Immortal Mansion flew outside the sect’s gates, enlarging to the size of a hundred miles, and then tens of thousands of people stepped out from it.
They were disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect from the Immortal World.
Many among them had ascended from the Kunlun Realm.
“Have we arrived? Haha, indeed we have returned! Where are the descendants of the Seventh Peak? Ancestor Master is back!”
“Where is the Ninth Peak lineage? Hurry and let me see what talents you all have!”
For a moment, the neatly organized welcoming scene turned into a lively reunion.
The younger generation of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, beholding ancestors they had only heard about, were equally thrilled.
These ancestors were often their idols!
Mu Xingzhi and Baili Changkong approached Tianji Zi. Mu Xingzhi bowed deeply, “The two hundred and seventy-third Sect Master Mu Xingzhi greets Ancestor Master!”
Tianji Zi looked Mu Xingzhi over, his eyes filled with satisfaction, “Of all the sect masters, Xingzhi, you are the one who satisfies me the most.”
Tianji Zi was well aware that after standing firm for millions of years, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was at its strongest now.
All of this was thanks to the current Sect Master’s excellent leadership.
“Greetings, Sect Master Senior Brother!” Yun Tianqiong, Ling Xi, Lei Yuan, and Yan Yao all greeted him in unison beside Tianji Zi.
Mu Xingzhi smiled knowingly; it hadn’t been many years, and here they were, meeting again!
“Little Uncle is in seclusion within the Seven Mystery Tower, and he should be emerging soon,” Mu Xingzhi said with a chuckle.
Everyone’s gaze then turned toward the Seven Mystery Tower, as the smile on Tianji Zi’s face grew a touch more intense, “The younger generation is remarkable. Seeing the Heavenly Mechanism Sect prosper like this, I have no regrets in my life.”
“Haha, Tianji Zi, it’s been tens of thousands of years, but you still have your charm!” Gu Sanqiu’s boisterous laugh echoed, nearly spreading throughout the majority of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
Tianji Zi turned towards Gu Sanqiu, who had stepped out from the Seven Mystery Tower, and was about to speak when Gu Sanqiu’s scolding transmitted into his ear, “You old scoundrel, what have you done? After tens of thousands of years, why do you seem to be at death’s door?”
On the surface, Gu Sanqiu claimed that Tianji Zi had maintained his grace, but he saw clearly that Tianji Zi probably didn’t have much longer to live.
“Brother Gu, it’s good to see you’re well! Thank you for everything you’ve done for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect,” Tianji Zi spoke, seemingly choosing to ignore Gu Sanqiu’s transmitted scolding.
Inwardly, Gu Sanqiu heaved a sigh. He had advised Tianji Zi many times to refrain from using the Heaven Secret Technique and to avoid probing into the secrets of heaven too deeply.
Because prying into the secrets of heaven always incurs backlash, whether small or great, and after years of accumulation, even the best Immortal Pills cannot reverse the severe consequences of such backlash.
But for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s sake, Tianji Zi had used the Heaven Secret Technique countless times.
Now, it had brought him close to his final days.
Gu Sanqiu’s gaze shifted towards Yun Tianqiong and the other three, sweeping over them. He was profoundly shocked to find that all four were of Golden Immortal Cultivation, but what was more, they were enveloped in the aura of Laws, clearly having comprehended some Laws.
From what Mu Xingzhi had implied, all four were disciples of Li Cheng.
Thinking back on how Li Cheng had comprehended tens of thousands of Laws, Gu Sanqiu couldn’t help but remark to himself that indeed, the disciples of someone exceptional were just as remarkable!
“Brother Gu, let’s catch up later. For now, our Heavenly Mechanism Sect must face the impending disaster!” Tianji Zi added.
Gu Sanqiu furrowed his brows, “Impending disaster?”
