Chapter 303: The Heavenly Court Sect

Geniuses from ancient times!

Ying Tian Immortal was jealous of their talents!

Master Mi was shocked by these two explosive pieces of information.

As the era of great change approaches, many ancient powers have awakened. Some hail from the Great Yu era, some from the Great Qian era. These powerful beings, starting from the late Unity stage, have incredibly solid foundations, qualifying them to step onto the grand stage and compete for the chance of immortality.

However, never had there been tales of cultivators from ancient times waking up.

Yet, the other party’s cultivation and combat power couldn’t be faked. Golden Core stage fighting Nascent Soul stage to a standstill was a rare feat, worthy of being recorded in history.

Listening to their tone, they didn’t seem to think much of the Five Great Immortal Sects or the Great Xia Dynasty.

And their demeanor didn’t suggest they were pretending.

Could it be true?

The very thought was terrifying. If true, it was enough to scare anyone senseless and was certainly beyond the meddling of a mere Nascent Soul stage cultivator like him.

Wait, Master Mi realized something was off. The sword energy just now might not have come from them; it was very likely borrowed from a sword talisman left by an elder.

“Such deceit!”

Master Mi felt he had seen through their ploy. Dark energy swirled around his heart, and a blade-wielding ghost appeared, merging with Master Mi.

Master Mi’s aura changed drastically, holding a bone-cutting knife, looking like a ghost general, ready to eliminate the four youngsters and show them he wasn’t easily deceived.

This was a highly unusual cultivation method known as the Five Organs Ghost-Driving Technique, where five ghosts were nurtured within the five organs. In battle, the ghosts could either possess the cultivator or be controlled by them, useful for both close and distant combat.

One person behind Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and made a move, unleashing his full power, glowing brilliantly like the sun, subduing all demons and evil spirits.

Boom—

The collision of forces created a huge sound, shaking the earth.

“Long Jingzhou, he’s all yours.”

Meng Jingzhou laughed heartily, looking down on Master Mi. “A bunch of cultists who don’t even know the origins of the Nine Nether Sect dare to challenge me?”

Meng Jingzhou’s body ignited in blazing flames, causing the surrounding air to boil as if a sun had risen from the ground.

The ghost possessing Master Mi screamed in agony as its body continuously dissolved.

This was the Pure Yang True Fire granted to every Single Spirit Root cultivator, extremely yang and rigid, the bane of all ghosts.

A single glance at the Pure Yang True Fire made Young Master Qin’s eyes feel like they were burning. He had to use all his cultivation to suppress the discomfort.

“We are all members of Heavenly Court, awakened from slumber to form the Heavenly Court Sect. We intend to use the coming great era to restore the former glory of Heavenly Court!”

“We are not the only ones who have awakened from ancient times. There are elders who have awakened and are lying in wait, silently preparing for more elders to awaken and plot the grand scheme.”

Master Mi thought to himself, could it be that the reason no ancient cultivators have been known to awaken is not because there were none but because those who did were all members of Heavenly Court Sect? Did they hide after waking up?

The ancient methods of concealment might not be known to the Great Xia Dynasty, which made sense.

There was a Spirit Transformation stage cultivator hidden behind Young Master Qin, sent by the upper echelons of the Nine Nether Sect to protect him.

He had not expected to encounter such a situation.

He was just about to reveal himself and scold Lu Yang for spouting nonsense when Lu Yang suddenly raised his eyes slightly and made eye contact with him.

How was this possible? His concealment technique was rare in the world. How could someone at the early Golden Core stage detect him?

Unless there was also a protector hiding near the other party, with a cultivation far above his own!

The Spirit Transformation stage protector quickly realized this and dared not make a move.

Lu Yang averted his gaze. It was Everlasting Fairy who had informed him about the Spirit Transformation stage protector behind Young Master Qin.

Fortunately, his glance had intimidated the protector.

Smart people will automatically fill in the gaps on how they were discovered, saving him the effort.

“Our Heavenly Court Sect is more closely related to your Nine Nether Sect than you might think, Master Mi. The Heavenly Court represents the yang and governs the living world, while the Nine Nethers represents the yin and governs the underworld. The Heavenly Court and the Nine Nether realm were the true rulers of ancient times!”

“What!” Master Mi exclaimed, unable to believe that the Nine Nether realm had such a close relationship with Heavenly Court.

Even the Spirit Transformation stage cultivator hidden behind Young Master Qin felt his heart tighten.

So the Nine Nether realm originated from ancient times?

Seeing Master Mi so flustered, Lu Yang gently shook his head, seeming pained by their reaction.

“It seems that with the end of ancient times, many heritages have been lost. Even the oldest Nine Nether realm has completely forgotten its relationship with us.”

“That’s why we say, there’s no need for us to fight to the death. Master Mi, consider this: if we were from the Five Great Immortal Sects or the Great Xia Dynasty, wouldn’t we just wipe you out instead of wasting time here?”

“If you still don’t believe us, we have more proof.”

“In ancient times, Heavenly Court and the Nine Nether realm were close. Our elders know some reincarnation techniques. Using these, we found the reincarnation of your previous Sect Leader, Qin Haoran!”
