Chapter 425: One Month Later, the Situation is Delicate

In a guesthouse room in the eastern part of the Tianyun Dao Domain, the white-clad, heroically bearing Ye Jie opened his mouth in shock.

Ye Jie even had reason to suspect that the sword strike that day was deliberately shown to himself.

The purpose was to lure Ye Jie to their Azure Cloud Immortal Sect.

Furthermore, this time they specially released this statement, making it even more suspicious.

"Azure Cloud Immortal Sect? What kind of sect is this? I, in my past life, have never even heard of it!"

"If they are not my enemies, why would they lure me?"

Ye Jie carefully recalled his past-life enemies, and became even more perplexed.

"Never mind; if they intend to harm me, I have plenty of means to make them regret it."

Although current evidence shows that the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect is trying to lure Ye Jie over, for the sake of the remaining Five Tribulations Sword Body, Ye Jie has no choice but to go.

"Opening the mountain to accept disciples in a month? Good! Then I will storm the Azure Cloud, see what your true purpose is."

As for his own safety, Ye Jie is confident that even if he fails to obtain the Five Tribulations Sword Body, he can still retreat unharmed.

Don't forget that in his past life he was the supreme Immortal Emperor; some means are indispensable.

At the same time, the majority of forces in the Tianyun Dao Domain and the Ziyu Dao Domain have already held a major conclave regarding the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect's mountain-opening.

A minority of forces intend to stand by and watch, while the majority of clan forces decided to send their heavenly pride.

After all, if one could enter the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect, it would truly be a leap to the heavens, straight up to the Azure Cloud!

Some wandering cultivators' heavenly pride are the same.

Time flies swiftly; today, only three days remain until the opening date set by Feng Qingyang.

However, the situation seems to have undergone some changes; in short, the atmosphere in the two major Dao domains has become quietly eerie.

Azure Celestial Sea, at the gate of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect.

Xiao Bai and the Black Emperor were anxiously pacing back and forth.

"Damn! The situation is not right, big brother!"

Earlier, when our Azure Cloud Sect announced the mountain-opening and disciple recruitment in the Wild Martial Realm, the heavenly pride from all domains swarmed over like ants and locusts.

How come, in the immortal realm where there are more cultivator heavenly pride, it's different?

Nowadays, our Azure Cloud's reputation in the Upper Heavy Heaven may not be unmatched for a moment, but it's certainly riding high and its fame is illustrious, right?

The Black Emperor gazed toward the distant gate at the mere hundreds of thousands of cultivators, furrowing his brow.

"What? You think hundreds of thousands is a lot?"

"Come on! You don't even see where this is?"

This is the boundless Upper Heavy Heaven of the Tianyu Immortal Realm!

Just the population of the Tianyun and Ziyu Dao domains alone numbers in the one hundred million hundred million hundred million people.

By comparison, are hundreds of thousands really many? With only three days left until the mountain-opening, is it reasonable to have just this few people?

"That's right, this beast also feels there's a big problem!"

"Damn, the Sect Master had us oversee the first two stages; could someone be targeting us?"

Xiao Bai guessed after a while, opening his wolf eyes and said.

Meanwhile, at the Azure Cloud Immortal Palace.

"Reporting to my Lord, the people below have already investigated clearly."

"It is the Five Great Immortal Emperor forces meddling in there."

"They have united together to exert pressure on all major forces in the two major Dao domains; those major forces dare not disobey."

"Furthermore, they ordered those major forces to control their minor forces, not allowing them to participate in our Azure Cloud's mountain-opening and disciple recruitment."

"Many wandering cultivators' heavenly pride also got the wind of it; they also dare not act rashly."

"What's more, they even sent strongmen to kill all cultivator heavenly pride who disobeyed orders."

Above the great hall, a man in black robes respectfully clasped his hands.

He spoke, his tone growing heavier toward the end; in fact, he had been deliberately suppressing his emotions, as it was inappropriate to show them before the Sect Master.

"The main reason is that this matter is truly infuriating!"

After our Azure Cloud Sect came to the Upper Heavy Heaven, the very first mountain-opening and disciple recruitment encountered such a thing.

"Don't they consider the consequences of provoking our Azure Cloud?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang, seated on the main seat, slowly opened his icy purple eyes.

He had no expression, no joy or sorrow; outsiders could not see his feelings at all.

However, meeting his keen, icy purple eyes, even the black-robed man whose cultivation had reached the Immortal King realm could not help but feel startled, quickly lowering his head.

"The Five Great Immortal Emperor forces, right? Very good."

Since you want to play, then our sect will play along nicely with you.

Our sect understands; you may go down.

By the way, notify below: the mountain-opening and disciple recruitment three days from now will proceed as usual.

Feng Qingyang spoke solemnly.

After all, this mountain-opening and disciple recruitment is only one purpose; there is another important purpose as well.

As the reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor, the threat of the Five Great Immortal Emperor-level forces is, in his eyes, no more than a clown.

【"Ding, the Five Great Immortal Emperor forces dare to target the Lord's Azure Cloud Sect like this; now issuing a side quest to destroy or subdue the five great forces, completion yields huge rewards."】

【"Note: Either destruction or subduing can complete the quest; the Lord may decide based on mood."】

"A quest has arrived? Then it's even more fun."

……

In the Ziyu Dao Domain, inside a forbidden ground of the Purple Cloud Immortal Sect.

Several terrifying figures took their seats.

"If we do this, won't we completely offend the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect?"

"What a joke, what's wrong with offending them? They were the ones who didn't take us seriously, and the immortal envoys we sent out couldn't even enter his Azure Cloud Sect's gate!"

"Fine, then let them see what happens when they offend the Five Great Powers."

A terrifying figure spoke coldly.

Within the Two Great Dao Domains, the terror of the Five Great Immortal Emperor Powers has long been ingrained in people's hearts; each possesses absolute ruling power, let alone when they join forces to cause trouble.

Of course, they have another purpose in doing this.

That is to suppress the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect!

The momentum of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect is too rapid!

They worry that if this continues, the Azure Cloud Sect will eventually dominate the Two Great Dao Domains, so they have no choice but to join forces and act.

……

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was three days later.

Today, in the Azure Sky Immortal Sea, the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect is undoubtedly the focus of countless cultivators in the Two Great Dao Domains.

This is solely because the renowned Azure Cloud Immortal Sect is today opening its doors to accept disciples!

However, the situation remains delicate; only a few million cultivator prodigies await outside the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect's gates.

Countless cultivators who wanted to come but dared not, as well as countless great powers, all dared to be angry but dared not speak.

Outside the magnificently grand gates of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect.

Xiao Bai, Black Emperor, the sect's guardian divine beast Tian Jiu, and Outer Sect Elder Ye Bai—one person and three beasts awaited here.

"Elder Ye, it's about time; you make the announcement."

Xiao Bai looked up, saw the blazing sun high in the void, and then spoke.

Upon hearing that, Ye Bai, wearing the robes of an Outer Sect Elder, nodded and then walked forward.

He faced the millions of cultivator prodigies below the gate, slightly adjusted his aura, and spoke from above:

"I am Ye Bai, Outer Sect Elder of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect."
