Chapter 804 - 804: Chess Game, A Word of Advice

The Star Demon Sword had indeed advanced, ascending to the rank of a medium-grade immortal artifact. Its inherent spirituality had correspondingly intensified.

It was important to note that within the entirety of the Tianxing Sect, there were not a great number of medium-grade immortal artifacts. Even if there were any, they typically rested in the possession of peak masters and elders. Ordinary disciples of the immortal sect scarcely owned a low-grade immortal artifact, let alone a medium-grade one.

Furthermore, despite its elevation to a medium-grade immortal artifact, the Star Demon Sword exhibited no inclination to cease absorbing the surrounding demonic aura..

This ambient aura seemingly flowed from an uncharted source, perpetually replenishing itself after being assimilated by the Star Demon Sword.

Observing this unfolding spectacle, Li Hao found himself elated. With each advancement of the Star Demon Sword, his martial prowess would see a significant enhancement.

Still, the Star Demon Sword exhibited no signs of ceasing its absorption of the demonic aura.

Finally, after an unknown period of time, upon the Star Demon Sword, a cascade of sharp sword qi surged forth, enveloping the entire space in a palpable wave of sword might.

In a ceaseless display, brilliantly luminous sword radiance intermittently gleamed, thoroughly illuminating the surroundings and piercing through the extensive shroud of demonic aura.

In yet another advancement, the Star Demon Sword was elevated from its prior status as a medium-grade immortal artifact to a high-grade one.

At the moment the Star Demon Sword advanced..

Rumble!

Suddenly, thunderous roars echoed across the skies above the back mountains of the Tianxing Pavilion. Ominous thunderclouds stretched across the entirety of the Tianxing Sect, casting an oppressive shadow.

“What’s happening? Why are there thunderclouds?”

“Could it be that a formidable expert is attempting to cultivate a transcendent technique and thus attracting tribulation?”

“It feels so scary!”

The sudden thunder jolted everyone within the Tianxing Sect, prompting involuntary outbursts of astonishment.

It was not only the disciples of the Tianxing Sect. At this moment, even the peak masters and elders were alarmed.

At this moment, in the hall on the main peak of the Tianxing Sect, two majestic figures sat cross-legged across from one another, appearing as if they were playing chess amidst the clouds.

One of these figures was garbed in Baiyi attire. This individual was none other than the Sect Master of the Tianxing Sect, MO Tianxing, a cultivator who had attained the ninth-grade Mystic Immortal realm.

As the resounding thunder reverberated, MO Tianxing, who was in the midst of making a move on the chessboard, momentarily paused. The sudden peal of thunder startled him just as much.

Once again, the black-robed man’s voice trailed off with an undercurrent of secrecy. Before he could conclude, his expression shifted once more. A black jade token emerged from his possession, an item that resembled a communication device. In that instant, it commenced transmitting information.

Then, the black-robed man looked at MO Tianxing and said directly, “Sect Head MO, looks like we can’t play this game anymore. I suddenly have something to do...”

“That’s acceptable. Commander Qin’s directives are clear! I understand... I’ll retain our match for a future engagement.”

Mo Tianxing’s response was composed. The individual before him hailed from the Nine Provinces Immortal King Hall, bearing the rank of one of the eight commanders serving under the Hundred Battles Immortal King. An eighth-grade Mystic Immortal, he held significant standing.

This time, the individual was here on the Immortal King’s orders, seeking to compel the Tianxing Sect into yielding to the Hundred Battles Immortal King’s authority.

However, it was obvious that MO Tianxing refused.

As for the Hundred Battles Immortal King, he nominally presided over the Nine Provinces. He stood as a new immortal king figure within the Haotian Dynasty, governing an entire continent.

“Hundred Battles Immortal King” was his title.

The Tianxing Sect was one of the Five Great Sects of the Nine Provinces, renowned for its exceptional might. Furthermore, it posed latent threats to the stability of the Hundred Battles Immortal King’s position.

Consequently, the Hundred Battles Immortal King aspired to incorporate the Tianxing Sect under his dominion.

Naturally, this aspiration extended beyond just the Tianxing Sect. The other four sects also held similar designs, all craving the same.

Only through the subjugation or eradication of all Five Great Sects could the Immortal King’s Palace stand as the sole power in the Nine Provinces, achieving paramount supremacy. Such a scenario would allow the Immortal King to vie against the other Immortal Kings.

Human desires were endless, and so was the Hundred Battles Immortal King.

Even though the Hundred Battles Immortal King occupied a lofty station, his ambition spurred him to ascend further.

Furthermore, rivalry among immortal kings remained profoundly fierce, even within their own ranks.

“I’m leaving! However, I still have one more piece of advice for Sect Master

The black-robed man stood up and prepared to leave.

MO Tianxing also stood up. “Please speak.”

“If the Tianxing Sect wishes to endure, aligning with the Immortal King is the wisest and sole viable choice,” said the black-robed man directly.

“Hehe...’

When MO Tianxing heard this, he smiled faintly and said, “If that’s the case, will there still be a Tianxing Sect?”nove(l)bi(n.)com
