Chapter 779 - Ancient Experts

Somehow, the tolling of the bells seemed particularly urgent as they spread to all of the various immortal worlds in the Dao Defense League.

The Dao Defense League was expanding faster than ever. All sorts of immortal worlds were joining, and as would be expected, the organization was becoming a hodgepodge of good and bad people. Because of that, the elders of many of the organizations were being somewhat isolationist and exercising special care not to interfere in the affairs of others.

In contrast, the truly strong organizations were able to call the wind and summon the rain in the league as a whole.

Overall, the league was growing larger, but less stable, although it wasn’t necessarily obvious from an outsider’s perspective. The resistance to the future world was as fierce as ever.

Only one thing was certain: the situation was very different from before, and no one knew exactly how things would turn out. History was being written, or, depending on the perspective, re-written.

‘They’re sounding the bells to summon the top patriarchs to the Heaven-Dao Operation God-Temple,’ Yang Qi thought. ‘But why? Is there some sort of emergency? Maybe an influx of warriors from the future world?’

After some thought, he decided to just go find out for himself. For the moment, he wasn’t worried about the safety of the Sage Monarch Heaven. His immortal-slaying clone was a Chaos God, and had seven of King Immortal-Slayer's legacy medallions. He was currently in the position to tangle with demigods.

At the same time, the seventy-one patriarchs had been given plenty of treasures from the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart. That and the blessings from Yang Qi had helped them to advance by leaps and bounds, to the point that most of them were at the peak of the Buddha God level. They trained constantly with the immortal-slaying clone, thus they would soon be breaking into the Chaos God level as well. When that happened, the Sage Monarch Heaven would become one of the top ten strongest forces within the Dao Defense League.

Yang Qi had other hidden trump cards as well, such as Sectlord Nine Yangs, King Bone Dragon, General Samman, and random future warriors he had captured and forced to work for him. No one knew about them, and they would be a major force to contend with if they were released in a surprise attack.

If anyone attacked the Sage Monarch Heaven, they would quickly find themselves in a quagmire of death.

With affairs settled in the Sage Monarch Heaven and the Sage Monarch Society, Yang Qi headed to the Heaven-Dao Operation God-Temple. Upon arrival, he saw that the teleportation portals were active and countless important people were arriving. Many of them were people he had never seen before.

Some were Chaos God patriarchs, some were demigod old-timers who were half a step into the Deathless level. They were all mysterious and powerful figures, and there were so many of them streaming into the temple that it was almost impossible to count them.

Yang Qi even saw Dragonfolk! There were numerous top experts from the Eight Tribes, including some with the enigmatic aura of buddha dragons. The God, Heaven, True, and Devil Dragon Tribes had also sent old-timers. They weren’t the only thirty-third ranked immortal world to send people; there were also violet-robed experts from the Tusita Heaven.

Yang Qi frowned slightly at the sight of it all. A new dimension had been set up in the middle of the Heaven-Dao Operation God-Temple, with numerous thrones filling it. Yang Qi sat down quietly on one of the thrones, then looked around at the buzz of activity as the temple filled up.

Of course, he was only a third division Incarnated God, which caused quite a few of the old-timers to look over at him curiously. After all, the general requirement to attend meetings in the Heaven-Dao Operation God-Temple was to be a seventh division Measureless God.

There were some people who recognized him, so word quickly spread that he was the ‘Medicine Sage’ who could neutralize the morphblight virus and cure hidden cultivation injuries even in Chaos God patriarchs.

It led to quite a bit of shock among the patriarchs who had been in seclusion recently and hadn’t been updated on current events. It was a common thing for the patriarchs to operate from behind the scenes. They would focus on their own cultivation and have lower-ranking disciples handle day-to-day affairs. Because of that, they usually weren’t aware of the dramatic daily affairs in the Dao Defense League.

People were showing up who were rarely seen in public.

A beam of golden sword light pierced into the temple, accompanied by a powerful aura. A sword crypt appeared, within which a young man sat cross-legged, pulsing with sword energy. He carried no sword, but seemed like the embodiment of a sword at the same time. At a single glance, everyone could tell that he was some grandmaster of the dao of the sword.
