Chapter 629
Every cultivator present was frenzied beyond compare; at this moment they seemed to be the embodiment of the righteous path, the just guardians who would personally judge all sins in the world.
Yun Qianlou raised his hand and pressed lightly in the air, and the scene immediately fell silent again.
He spoke with a stern expression: "The Righteous Path Immortal Alliance has been successfully established; in the world, without rules nothing can be proper, and the Alliance is no exception. Now I, the Emperor, will first announce some personnel changes in the Alliance."
"My Yun family's thousand-fold elder ancestor, the Nirvana Emperor Sovereign, shall serve as the Alliance Chief Lord, overseeing all Alliance affairs; I, Yun Qianlou, head of the Yun family and the Emperor, shall take the post of the Alliance's first Grand Lord, fully assisting the Chief Lord."
Yun Qianlou finished speaking, paused slightly, turned sideways, pointed at a figure behind him, and introduced: "This person behind me, whom I believe many are familiar with, is the Hongmeng Immortal Sect's Hongmeng Immortal Lord; he will serve as the Alliance's Vice Lord."
Upon hearing this, the Hongmeng Immortal Lord walked forward expressionlessly and nodded in acknowledgment.
Regarding this, many cultivators on site were astonished: the Hongmeng Immortal Lord had not been judged like the Mo Clan Emperor Lord and the Heaven Mandate Divine Lord, but instead was appointed Vice Lord?
Could that rumor be true? The Hongmeng Immortal Sect is backed by the great power of Heaven Outside Heaven? Then our Alliance's chances of victory increase even more! Many cultivators let their imaginations run wild…
"At the Alliance's founding, only one department was established, called the Judgment Department; the three Judgment Angels overseeing it shall be the Wei Clan Immortal Lord of the Gold Feather Immortal Continent's foremost power, the sect master of the Divine Four Sect, a transcendent sect of the Gold Feather Immortal Continent, and the Emperor Lord of the Supreme Heavenly Dynasty of the Gold Feather Immortal Continent."
"The Deputy Judgment Angels shall be the Mo Clan Immortal Emperor Lord and the Heaven Mandate Divine Kingdom's Divine Lord, specially granted the chance to atone for their crimes through meritorious service."
"I, the Emperor, will not list the rest in detail; after the meeting, detailed information will be sent to everyone's tokens for you to check yourselves."
"What I want to say is that in the Alliance there is no hierarchy of high or low, noble or base; everyone is equal. Whether I serve as Alliance Lord or you clean latrines, we are all serving the Alliance and the righteous path."
"Next, uniform attire and tokens will be distributed to all forces and cultivators seeking to join the Alliance; in two and a half hours, I, the Emperor, will announce the Alliance's regulations and its first mission."
As his words fell, the scene erupted once again in enthusiastic applause and cheers.
At the summit of the Immortal Cauldron, Yun Qianlou finished speaking, hands clasped behind his back, smiling as he looked at the Hongmeng Immortal Lord beside him: "Old Hong, we've been sparring for most of our lives; you've kept the Emperor in the dark all this time."
"I know your Hongmeng Immortal Sect keeps a low profile, but I never imagined you hid so deeply—truly the old six among old sixes."
Who would have thought the Hongmeng Immortal Sect is actually a branch of the Heaven Outside Heaven's superpower, the Eternal Emperor Sect?
The Eternal Emperor Sect is no small matter—no one knows how many ages it has endured, ancient and mighty; the Hongmeng Immortal Lord's status within the Sect is also of great importance.
Upon hearing this, the Hongmeng Immortal Sect spoke with a smile that didn't reach the eyes: "Hehe, there's still much you don't know; my sect has always adhered to keeping a low profile."
"If it weren't for your Yun family sending me a blood letter, I really couldn't bear it—uncle could tolerate, aunt could not! You would never have known my identity."
"We've come this far; there's no point in saying more. I wish us pleasant cooperation—don't forget what you promised the Emperor."
"If we calculate the time, the reinforcements sent by the main sect to aid the Emperor should be arriving soon."
After the Hongmeng Immortal Lord finished speaking, he fell into recollection.
Time rewinds to the day when the various powers of the Mo Shadow Immortal Continent besieged the Yun Immortal Clan…
After the Nirvana Immortal Emperor descended, his unmatched imperial might alone instantly suppressed everyone.
He was overbearing to the extreme; with a single thought he gravely wounded the Mo Clan Emperor Lord and the Heaven Mandate Divine Lord. I had sensed something was off beforehand and quietly retreated, yet I was still suppressed.
When it came to my turn, I hastily called out: "Wait! I, the Emperor, am not like those two wastes; you cannot move against me. Out in the world, you must not only compete in strength but also in backing."
The Nirvana Immortal Emperor paused his action, slightly intrigued, and said: "Oh? Hongmeng Immortal Lord, I already knew you weren't simple; go on, what else is your background?"
"I, the Emperor, come from the Eternal Emperor Sect of Heaven Outside Heaven, and I have a token as proof; I came to the Shang San Yu to establish the Hongmeng Immortal Sect merely to complete a training mission."
After confirming my identity, the subsequent events unfolded naturally; I fully cooperated with the Yun Immortal Clan, on the condition that they unconditionally support all my future endeavors—this was merely a case of each taking what they needed.
As he was reminiscing, a colossal immortal vessel tore through the void from the distant horizon, its shape bizarre, utterly unlike any immortal vessel's style in the Shang San Yu.
Overall it took the form of a divine dragon, appearing immensely imposing and awe-inspiring in spirit; when the divine dragon immortal vessel descended, the whole heaven and earth dimmed, making it seem like the uncrowned ruler at the center of the world.
At the center of the immortal vessel stood a flag bearing the four characters "Eternal Emperor Sect".
This sight immediately caused an uproar among the cultivators of Mo Clan Heavenly City.
"What's happening? Could it be that the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect has come to attack?!"
"Are you blind? Isn't there writing on the immortal vessel? Eternal… Emperor Sect…! Which sect is this?!"
"Hiss! What are you saying? Eternal Emperor Sect! As far as I know, that's a superpower of Heaven Outside Heaven—how did they get here?!"
At the summit of the Immortal Cauldron, the Hongmeng Immortal Lord gazed at the scene before him; after a moment he snapped out of his reverie, his brows slightly furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Fellow allies, there's no need to panic. These are the reinforcements I summoned; they too have come for the alliance."
Upon hearing this, the various powers below and the countless cultivators finally calmed down—ah, that's why!
No wonder! No wonder! The Hongmeng Immortal Lord's background turns out to be the renowned Eternal Emperor Sect!
Great! Great! The superpower of Heaven Outside Heaven is on our side! What does it matter if the Azure Cloud Sect is mighty? What's there to fear? Justice will prevail! The Alliance will prevail!
The divine dragon immortal vessel docked at the summit of the Immortal Cauldron; a white-haired, gaunt old man whose breath resembled that of a corpse flew down, approached the Hongmeng Immortal Lord respectfully, clasped his hands, and said: "This old man, Withered Heaven, pays his respects to the Hongmeng Imperial Son."
The Hongmeng Immortal Lord still frowned and asked: "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to come in a low-key manner?"
"Reporting to the Imperial Son, this is already the most low-key appearance I could devise; in Heaven Outside Heaven, wherever my Eternal Emperor Sect's immortal vessel descends, anyone within a hundred million li who does not kneel would already have turned to bones in a grave." The old man blinked his gray-white eyes and spoke calmly.
Having said that, he fell into thought, turned his head to glance behind at the firmament, instantly withdrew his gaze uncomfortably, and muttered: "Interesting; I never expected that in such a dark age, another… would actually appear…"
Just then, numerous luxurious flying carriages and over a hundred enormous immortal ships appeared on the distant horizon.
A voice rang out first, echoing across the heavens!
"I, the Emperor, am the Radiant Divine Lord; having successfully united the various powers of the Blazing Radiance Immortal Continent by order of the Supreme Emperor, I have come here for the alliance."
