Chapter 365: Nangong Immortal Clan, the Great Battle Is Imminent

However, very few people ever venture inside, because it is well known that this is the habitat of immortal beasts.

The origin of the name Endless Immortal Mountain Range is also the subject of much debate.

What many cultivators there agree on is that, long ago, most of the immortals who entered in large numbers to search for treasure never came out, and all became fodder for powerful immortal beasts.

After this news spread widely, no cultivator on the outskirts of the mountain range dared to venture deep inside.

At the same time, deep within the Endless Immortal Mountain Range,

towering mountains rise and fall in continuous waves, various immortal flowers and herbs bloom everywhere, and rich immortal qi swirls about.

The phrase "like entering a fairyland" truly describes the environment here.

"You see what I said earlier? The people of the Early Heaven Immortal Kingdom are indeed a bunch of good-for-nothings."

"They can't even handle a lowly sect from the lower realm; what use are they?"

A cold snort echoed from within a strangely shaped palace.

The construction of this palace differs greatly from the outside; from afar it looks like a pile of huge stones stacked together.

Yet this in no way diminishes its grandeur; a palace built from huge stones actually adds an air of peculiarity to it.

At the palace's tablet, bold and vigorous strokes carve four large characters: "Mountain God Hall."

"Enough, cut the nonsense."

"The young master has already issued the latest order: we are to directly join forces and exterminate the Qingyun Sect."

"Then, under the pretense of impersonating our sect, we will launch all the forces we control to strike it with thunderous force."

"By then, our sect will truly be the lord of Qingyun."

Inside the palace, two figures could be seen conversing.

One of them had a remarkably strange appearance, like a stone man, and he was the current Mountain God, leader of the Stone Immortal Clan.

The other claimed to be of our sect, dressed in black robes, with flowing hair and a handsome face bearing a pair of peculiar purple pupils.

He could not be said to be exactly the same as Feng Qingyang; he was practically carved from the same mold.

One could say that even if Feng Qingyang's mother stood here, you couldn't tell who was real and who was fake.

"The young master has spoken? Then when will we move?"

"Then I will directly command all the powerful clans of the Endless Immortal Mountain Range to join the war."

"By then, the tiny Qingyun Sect will be wiped out in an instant."

The Mountain God spoke.

"After we destroy the Qingyun Sect this time, it will mark the beginning of the rise of our Stone Immortal Clan."

"With the Purple Cloud Divine Son as our great backer, our clan no longer needs to hide in the Endless Immortal Mountain Range."

"The sooner, the better, to prevent any changes."

"Issue the orders now; get ready."

"Our sect will first return to the Qingyun Sect to prepare; when I notify you, we will mobilize."

The black-clothed man pondered briefly, then spoke.

He is actually a subordinate force of the divine son, the current clan chief of the Nangong Family from the Purple Feather Dao Region, Nangong Ritian.

This time, our family has been fortunate enough to be selected by the divine son to impersonate the Qingyun Sect.

The divine son said that as long as we can destroy the true Qingyun Sect, he will strongly support our Nangong family, and the path to rise lies right before us!

Having said that, Nangong Ritian moved his thoughts and vanished from the spot.

Not long after.

On an extremely lofty immortal peak at the outskirts of the Endless Immortal Mountain Range, Nangong Ritian's figure appeared.

He gazed at the magnificent gate before him and nodded in satisfaction.

"Qingyun Sect—if aided by the divine son, we might actually be able to replace that heavenly-mandated power."

Only see the gate's tablet inscribed with the three characters "Qingyun Sect"; not far away crouches a small, black immortal beast.

Upon seeing Nangong Ritian, it hastily bowed respectfully: "Black Emperor greets the clan chief."

Hearing this, Nangong Ritian frowned slightly: "How many times have I told you? Call me Sect Master."

"If you don't get into character while acting, is that even acting? Really."

"Yes, yes."

"Black Emperor greets Sect Master."

Upon hearing that, Nangong Ritian finally nodded in satisfaction, then left after leaving a single sentence.

"Watch over the gate of my Qingyun Sect well."

If the true Black Emperor saw this scene, he would surely be furious: "Guard the gate? You're not even acting anymore? I am the sect's guardian divine beast, after all……"

Of course, it's a pity that it cannot see this.

……

At this moment, Nangong Ritian sat in the chief seat of the hall.

"Greetings, Sect Master."

In the hall, several dozen figures simultaneously bowed respectfully.

All of them wore the robes of the Qingyun Sect, though only outwardly similar; they fundamentally lacked the heaven-defying effects of the genuine Qingyun Sect vestments.

They circulated Dao rhythms, unstained by dust, invulnerable to water and fire, and so on.

Counterfeit goods are counterfeit goods.

"Hn."

"You are all elders of my Nangong family, and now you are elders of my Qingyun Sect."

"Now an opportunity to rise lies before us: destroy the true Qingyun and take its place!"

Everyone, go make preparations; this time my Nangong Clan must give it our all.

Nangong Ritian, seated in the chief position, spoke sternly.

Yes, I will obey the clan lord's order.

……

Time passed, and the next day arrived.

The immortal city nearest to the Abundant Immortal Mountain Range is the Stellar Dome Immortal City.

Today, all the cultivators in the vast Stellar Dome Immortal City are filled with anxiety.

This is because from time to time, the roars of numerous immortal beasts can be heard from within the Abundant Immortal Mountain Range.

What's going on today? The group of immortal beasts in the Abundant Immortal Mountain Range hasn't ceased; could something major be about to happen?

Hiss! Do you think the Mountain God might be launching another beast tide?

We're doomed, we're doomed! This is terrible.

A white-robed cultivator showed a frightened expression and speculated.

For the beast tide is truly terrifying; each time it reduces all living beings to ashes.

Since this era began, the Stellar Dome Immortal City, being nearest to the Abundant Immortal Mountain Range, has already undergone three baptisms of beast tides!

Three times! Three times! Each time, all cultivators in the city are slaughtered to the last.

At this moment, in the city lord's mansion.

The lord of Stellar Dome City was already overwhelmed with busyness.

Damn it! Why would the Mountain God of the Abundant Immortal Mountain Range choose this moment to launch a beast tide!

If only we could wait two more years, I would transfer away from this Stellar Dome City.

Has the call for help been sent out?

The Immortal Lord of Stellar Dome took a deep breath and asked a subordinate nearby.

Report, City Lord: the message has already been conveyed to the Immortal Capital.

The Immortal Lord has already arranged for troops and strong cultivators to come, and has also summoned a large number of loose immortals from within the country.

The superiors' meaning is that we must hold Stellar Dome City at all costs, otherwise the frenzied beast tide will once again sweep straight in.

Upon hearing this, the lord of Stellar Dome City sighed, his eyes showing a helpless look.

For now, the only plan is to desperately defend the city.

……

Time flew by, and two days passed.

Today is the day Feng Qingyang announces his march to annihilate the Stone Immortal Clan.

Azure Sky Immortal Sea, Azure Cloud Immortal Sect.

At this very moment, a powerful white howling-moon wolf pulled an enormous flying carriage as it soared up from the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect.

Behind the flying carriage followed dozens of terrifying figures.
