Chapter 749: Immortal Realm Decree, A Forceful Refusal

Lin Xuan looked at him calmly, without answering immediately.

After a long while, he said softly, "To know one's mistake and correct it is the greatest virtue."

"However, your Blood Fiend Sect has committed countless evil deeds; an apology alone is not enough."

"From now on, the Blood Fiend Sect must not kill the innocent again, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

Xue Wuya felt as if he had been granted amnesty and kowtowed repeatedly: "I will strictly follow the senior's teachings!"

"From today on, the Blood Fiend Sect will turn over a new leaf and never do evil again!"

Other factions that came to offer humble apologies received similar treatment.

Lin Xuan neither took ruthless revenge nor fully forgave them.

Instead, he gave them a chance to turn over a new leaf.

This tolerant attitude allowed more factions to see hope, and they came one after another to show goodwill.

But Lin Xuan knew in his heart that the real test was yet to come.

The landscape of the cultivation world had completely changed, and the power struggle between all parties had only just begun.

And he would become the focus of this struggle.

Hun Dun stood by Lin Xuan's side, feeling the complex atmosphere around them.

"These humans are truly interesting; strength determines everything."

Immortal Realm, Supreme Hall.

This is the highest symbol of power in the Immortal Realm, and on ordinary days, only those at the Immortal Emperor level can set foot here.

The massive hall was permeated with pure immortal energy, and every inch of space contained the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, several Immortal Emperors sat around a round table, discussing something with solemn expressions.

"Has the news from the lower realm been confirmed?" Immortal Emperor Taiqing spoke first.

Although his voice was calm, the pressure contained within it was enough to make ordinary immortals kneel to the ground.

Immortal Emperor Shangqing nodded: "It is absolutely true; that lower-realm cultivator named Lin Xuan does indeed possess the power of Lun Hui."

"And he can reshape the universe and resurrect the dead; this kind of ability is already approaching the level of creation."

Immortal Emperor Yuqing snorted coldly: "How could a mere ant from the lower realm master such profound laws?"

"Could it be the reincarnation of some ancient great power?"

Immortal Emperor Taiqing shook his head: "We have already deduced it; this person is indeed just an ordinary human cultivator."

"But his growth rate and level of awakening are both beyond reason."

"The most critical point is that the power of Lun Hui he possesses is extremely pure, even surpassing the ancient Lun Hui Immortal King."

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of all the Immortal Emperors became even more serious.

The Lun Hui Immortal King was one of the most powerful beings in the history of the Immortal Realm; even they had to show him a degree of reverence.

If a being who surpassed the Lun Hui Immortal King had truly appeared in the lower realm, that would indeed be a huge threat.

"Regardless, we cannot allow a being who challenges the authority of the Immortal Realm to appear in the lower realm," Immortal Emperor Yuqing said coldly.

"The ruling order of the Immortal Realm must not be shaken!"

Immortal Emperor Shangqing echoed: "Well said; either recruit him for our own use, or wipe him out directly."

"We must never let such an unstable factor exist."

Immortal Emperor Taiqing pondered for a moment: "Then let us dispatch Immortal Envoys to the lower realm."

"First, try to see if we can subdue this person; if not, execute him on the spot."

"Who would be appropriate to send?" Immortal Emperor Shangqing asked.

"Immortal Envoys Zijin, Chihuo, and Qingmu are all at the Golden Immortal realm, enough to handle any situation in the lower realm," Immortal Emperor Yuqing suggested.

Immortal Emperor Taiqing nodded: "It is decided then; let the three of them go to the lower realm together."

"Remember, courtesy first, force second, but the majesty of the Immortal Realm must never be challenged."

Soon, the three Immortal Envoys at the Golden Immortal realm received the order.

Immortal Envoy Zijin was the team leader, wearing purple-gold immortal robes, his temperament noble and dignified.

Immortal Envoy Chihuo wore a fire-red long robe, his eyes as scorching as raging fire.

Immortal Envoy Qingmu wore a cyan Daoist Robe, his whole person as steady as an ancient tree reaching the sky.

All three had reached the late stage of the Golden Immortal realm and were prominent figures even in the Immortal Realm.

"Everyone, the mission to the lower realm this time is very clear," Immortal Envoy Zijin said.

"First, attempt to subdue that cultivator named Lin Xuan; if he does not know what is good for him, wipe him out directly."

Immortal Envoy Chihuo sneered: "A mere ant from the lower realm dares to covet the power of Lun Hui?"

"He truly does not know the immensity of heaven and earth."

Immortal Envoy Qingmu was more cautious: "According to intelligence, this person was able to reform the Hun Dun devourer; his strength should not be underestimated."

"We should still be careful."

Immortal Envoy Zijin was dismissive: "So what if he is strong? Restricted by the Heavenly Dao rules of the lower realm, he can at most exert the strength of the Tribulation Transcendence stage."

"With the three of us Golden Immortals joining forces, are we afraid of one lower-realm cultivator?"

After speaking, the three activated the teleportation array and headed toward the lower realm.

Above the cultivation world, a huge spatial rift suddenly appeared.

Pure immortal energy surged from the rift, instantly changing the celestial phenomena in the surroundings.

Ten thousand rays of golden light, sounds of immortal music, and the phantoms of various auspicious beasts flickered in and out of the clouds.

The Spirit Qi of the entire cultivation world began to riot, and its concentration increased several times over in an instant.

Countless cultivators felt this extraordinary aura and stopped what they were doing one after another.

"What is happening?"

"How can there be such pure Immortal Qi in the sky?"

"Could an Immortal have descended?"

The monitoring Arrays of the major sects were sounding alarms frantically, the values completely exceeding their measurement ranges.

From within a spatial rift, three figures slowly stepped out.

With every step they took, ripples spread through the surrounding space.

A powerful pressure surged outward like a tide, making countless cultivators feel as if they were struggling to breathe.

"It is an Immortal from the Immortal Realm!" a knowledgeable old cultivator recognized their origin.

"It really is an Immortal from legend descending to the lower realm!"

Countless cultivators were stirred with excitement; such a scene was rarely seen in ten million years.

The three Immortal Envoys descended above Ten Thousand Demons Island, looking down at Lin Xuan below.

The Purple Gold Immortal Envoy cleared his throat, his voice echoing throughout the entire cultivation world.

"Lower realm ant Lin Xuan, hear the decree!"

His voice contained the pressure of the Heavenly Dao; even ordinary cultivators would have their minds shaken upon hearing it.

"The Immortal Realm has issued a decree: considering your extraordinary talent, you are specially granted the opportunity for Ascension to the Immortal Realm!"

"But you must hand over the cultivation method for the power of Lun Hui and swear a Heavenly Dao oath to never betray the Immortal Realm!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire cultivation world was in an uproar.

Ascension to the Immortal Realm was the ultimate goal that countless cultivators dreamed of.

Many could not achieve it after a lifetime of cultivation, yet now someone could obtain this opportunity directly.

"Heavens, the Immortal Realm is actively granting an opportunity for Ascension!"

"What an immense honor this is!"

"Lin Xuan is about to ascend to the heavens in a single step!"

The Sect Leaders of the various major powers were so envious their eyes turned red.

They had not had the chance to ascend after thousands of years of cultivation, yet Lin Xuan, a young junior, had received such preferential treatment.

But at the same time, wise cultivators also heard the deeper meaning within.

Handing over the cultivation method and swearing a Heavenly Dao oath clearly meant forcing Lin Xuan to surrender his trump card and submit completely.

On Ten Thousand Demons Island, Lin Xuan looked calmly at the three Immortal Envoys in the sky.

He sensed the powerful aura on them; they were indeed much stronger than cultivators of the lower realm.

But after grasping the true essence of Lun Hui, he was no longer affected by this kind of pressure.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Lin Xuan's response.

This was a historic moment for the cultivation world: how would a lower realm cultivator face a decree from the Immortal Realm?
