Chapter 26: Having measured the heavenly secrets, startling the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion

Over at Qingyun Dian.

Lord: Feng Qingyang, Realm: Early True Person Realm, Disciples: Lin Bai, Shi Hao, Physique: All-Heavens Divine Body.

Sect powerhouses: Ancestor Li Qingyun, Peak of Emperor Realm; Guardian Elder Wang Xuan, Peak of Void-Shattering Realm; Outer Sect Elder Ye Bai, Peak of Void-Shattering Realm; five guardians.

Sect: Qingyun Sect, First Rank (8500/10000).

The sect's value actually increased by five thousand!

Feng Qingyang remembers that the sect was just established not long ago, right?

Qingyun Sect is about to break through to First Rank Sect and become a Second Rank Sect?

Awesome!

First Rank Sects are already this amazing; Second Rank Sects will surely overturn the heavens.

Take a closer look; the sect's powerhouses are not many, but not too few either.

However, there are only two direct disciples.

How can that work?

For a sect to develop, the most important thing is still disciples.

Menial disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples, direct disciples, holy sons, and even sequence god sons.

Also there are outer sect elders, inner sect elders, law enforcement elders, technique elders, and various peak masters.

These are all indispensable.

Looks like after returning from the Ancient Saint Secret Realm, we need to open the mountain gates wide to recruit disciples.

As for the elders, if they cannot be summoned,

we can only invite (or abduct) them from outside.

Meanwhile,

Central Region Divine State, Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

What? Elder Mo Chen's life tablet shattered!

Quickly check his image before death.

Life tablets are something each disciple of the great sect needs to make upon joining.

A strand of divine soul infused into it allows monitoring the disciple's life/death status at any time.

If dead, the life tablet naturally shatters.

Moreover, it is placed in a dedicated location, with experts assigned to guard it day and night, and someone checks it daily.

Within the sect, the higher the rank, the more important the life tablet.

Because it contains a strand of one's own divine soul.

Thus the scene before death can be recorded via a specific crystal ball.

This is convenient for finding the murderer to exact revenge later.

All the elders of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion gathered around the crystal ball to watch.

The purple crystal ball glittered.

Under the Grand Elder's spell, an image appeared.

What came into view was an inscrutable old man.

That old man grabbed Elder Mo Chen by the throat.

Elder Mo Chen was lifted like a chick.

Unable to retaliate.

Then was crushed.

Si!

Before the elders could speak, the old man in the crystal ball seemed to notice someone spying on him.

His deep gaze glanced over here.

Then.

The crystal ball exploded with a bang!

What!

Wasn't Elder Mo Chen gone to the East Region?

How can the spirit-energy-deficient East Region have such a powerful expert!

Which sect's expert is this person? So brave!

The East Region is a place deficient in spirit energy; in their view it's impossible to have such an expert.

Easily crushing a Half-Saint, striking across the river of time.

Grand Elder, the news from the East Region Branch Pavilion didn't say the target was Qingyun Sect, right?

This person should be an expert of Qingyun Sect.

Qingyun Sect?

The Grand Elder began to think.

Last time I heard of Qingyun Sect was last time.

Back then he also sent people to inquire of the Transcendent Power Yuqing Palace.

Right, Yuqing Palace!

Could this person be sent by Yuqing Palace?

Also not, Yuqing Palace is all women; where would an old man come from.

Could this person truly be an expert of Qingyun Sect!

Hmph, what's there to fear? My Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion also has masters like clouds; in this Central Realm, aside from those long-standing Imperial Clans, we haven't feared anyone.

How dare this Azure Cloud Sect slaughter our Pavilion Elder and provoke the dignity of the Transcendent Power!

Grand Elder, give the order! This time we must eradicate the Azure Cloud Sect.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is the Transcendent Power with the deepest foundation in the Central Realm.

Its founder is the Heavenly Mechanism Great Emperor.

It is said that the Heavenly Mechanism Great Emperor can, with a casual gesture, perceive the horizon and all things under heaven.

Nothing is unknown, no one is unaware.

The inherited Heavenly Mechanism Scripture is the supreme treasure of the Central Realm.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has been passed down through generations.

Do not act rashly.

Do you still remember that aura from a few days ago?

The Grand Elder seemed to think of something and quickly spoke.

Grand Elder, you mean……

Upon the Grand Elder's reminder, the other elders also suddenly understood.

Exactly, that's right.

The majestic imperial aura that arrived a few days ago came from the east.

Tsk! Could it really be such a coincidence……

Better safe than sorry!

This is a matter of our Pavilion's life and death; we must not act rashly.

Now they are all uneasy.

Great Emperor!

That's a Great Emperor!

To provoke such powerful beings, even if you scour heaven and earth!

They will also have no place to bury their bodies!

Even if they rely on their inherited heritage, they can barely resist a little.

But they would also suffer grave vital injury, possibly to the point of annihilation.

At this point, it might involve a Great Emperor, so we cannot be careless.

I will report this to the Pavilion Master and then make plans.

At the Grand Elder's order, all the elders dispersed.

He alone went to the hall where the Pavilion Master resides.

Heavenly Mechanism Hall.

Pavilion Master, the situation is thus.

Oh, you mean the Azure Cloud Sect might be related to a Great Emperor?

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master first felt doubtful; at his level, he knows more secrets.

The Great Emperor Realm has not shown itself for ten thousand years; it is said to be preparing something that could change the entire continent.

Not to mention the Great Emperor, even the Supreme has long ceased to concern himself with worldly affairs.

But he indeed sensed the imperial aura a few days ago.

Very well, I will inspect the Heavenly Mechanism to see just what kind of divine power this Azure Cloud Sect possesses!

As soon as the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master finished speaking, he fully activated the Heavenly Mechanism Scripture.

A pillar of light shot up into the sky, and then his divine sense entered the River of Time.

Hehe, found it!

Just as he was about to examine it, a sudden anomaly occurred.

A piercing sword light attacked, shattering his divine sense.

In the Heavenly Mechanism Hall, the Pavilion Master spat out a mouthful of blood and then became feeble.

His soul was damaged, and he could only slowly recover bit by bit through the Holy Medicine.

His cultivation would also decline.

Pavilion Master!

The Grand Elder hurried forward to support the Pavilion Master, who was about to fall.

At the same time, he was greatly shocked: the Pavilion Master is a mighty expert who has reached the peak of the Saint King Realm—how could he be injured like this!

Could it be that deducing the Heavenly Mechanism provoked a backlash from the Heavenly Dao?

Deducing the Heavenly Mechanism is an act of defying heaven; a slight mistake invites backlash.

Even the Pavilion Founding Ancestor, the Heavenly Mechanism Great Emperor, such a supreme being, has suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Dao.

I'm fine……

The Azure… Cloud Sect harbors great terror!

We must not provoke them!

After the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master weakly finished speaking…

He then went into seclusion, for his soul had been gravely damaged.

Just thinking back to what he saw earlier fills him with dread.

A figure stood with its back to him, reaching to the heavens, its whole body shrouded in sacred azure lotuses that block the sky.

Suddenly, a sword qi capable of splitting the heavens struck, shattering his soul.
