Chapter 1249: Chapter 516: Traceless Ancestor, Martial Rise of Donghuang_2 Chapter 1249: Chapter 516: Traceless Ancestor, Martial Rise of Donghuang_2 The Golden Immortal Pavilion regarded them as Golden Immortals rather than Profound Immortals.

Han Yi glanced around and saw many familiar Profound Immortals, all of whom, without exception, were listed on the Void Tower’s Profound Immortal List.

He suddenly realized that the Profound Immortals being summoned at this moment must possess permissions of a Golden Immortal and be named on the Profound Immortal List in order to qualify for entry here.

After waiting for half an hour, some of the Golden Immortals from the Immortal Court had all arrived. An ordinary-looking elderly man appeared, surveying the crowd. His gaze might have been devoid of Immortal Might, but wherever it landed, all the immortals bowed their heads in respect.

“Wan Chuan Immortal Sovereign.”

A title of an Immortal Sovereign emerged in Han Yi’s mind, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.

Officially, the Age Candle Immortal Court had six Immortal Sovereigns. Wan Chuan Immortal Sovereign might not have been the most powerful, but he was the one who had lived the longest. Rumor had it that he was one of the first Immortals to follow the Age Candle Dao Ancestor and that he was both a teacher and a friend to the Dao Ancestor.

Among the immortals, Wan Chuan Immortal Sovereign withdrew his gaze, his expression slightly grave, as he said:

“I presume that everyone here knows why I have summoned you.”

“Just a few days ago, the Evil Clan tore up the non-aggression pact between our two races and raised their weapons. The calamity of war is imminent and should not be taken lightly by any of you.”

“I have summoned you in hopes that together, we could eradicate this calamity.”

The gathered immortals became solemn.

A Peak Golden Immortal asked, “Immortal Sovereign, what makes the Eastern Emperor Demon Clan so confident to brazenly initiate an Immortal Fight, especially against three Immortal Courts beyond the territory of their own realm?”

“With the Dao Ancestor absent, can their Immortal Sovereigns and Immortal Monarch Level Evil Immortals really hope to defeat the three great Immortal Courts?”

This Peak Golden Immortal’s question also reflected the confusion of the other immortals, including Han Yi.

From what he understood previously, at the level of Immortal Sovereigns, the Eastern Emperor had the same number as Age Candle–eight–two more than the Yuan Daluo Immortal Court before the split. As for the realm of Evil Kings, the Eastern Emperor had only 108, even fewer than Age Candle, and far less than the original Daluo Immortal Court.

Aside from the Dao Ancestor, the Eastern Emperor was not considered powerful at the levels of Immortal Sovereigns and Monarchs.

Unless…

A terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Han Yi’s mind, and he abruptly looked up, staring intently at the seemingly ordinary elderly Wan Chuan Immortal Sovereign.

The other Golden Immortals also began to realize something was amiss, their expressions varied, but all were deeply unsettled.

Only to hear Wan Chuan Immortal Sovereign solemnly say:

“It is not a matter of the combat power of Immortal Sovereigns and Monarchs, but rather, it is about the Dao Ancestor.”

At this point, he paused, looking at the many Golden Immortals and Profound Immortals in the room whose expressions were drastically changing, providing a definitive answer.

“That’s right, Taiyi Dao Ancestor returned from Chaos seven days ago.”

“However, apart from his return, no other Dao Ancestors have appeared in the Immortal Realm.”

“As for why, I don’t know much more than you do.”

“And only Immortal Sovereigns can sense the return of Dao Ancestors.”

“Although I do not know why he commenced a war between the two races immediately upon his return, the only path before us is to deliver a devastating blow to the Evil Clan.”

“Only by doing so, can we protect the territories of the Immortal Court.”

There was a resolute look on Wan Chuan Immortal Sovereign’s face, and even Han Yi could sense his determination to risk his life defending the Immortal Court, which deepened his reverence.

Whether they were calm or unsettled, the immortals remained silent.

Afterwards, Wan Chuan Immortal Sovereign departed, and the immortals left the Golden Immortal Hall.

Before leaving, Han Yi did encounter a few familiar immortals. One was the True Immortal Xuan Cheng, a Peak Golden Immortal and disciple of True Morning Taoist. He was the one who took Han Yi’s spot in the Original Art quota years ago. However, later on, he gifted an Immortal Sword to Han Yi, resolving that debt of karma.

In the shocking changes of the expedition, Yun Li Immortal Monarch, the grandfather of True Morning Taoist, had perished. Upon hearing the news, True Morning Taoist began a seclusion, vowing before he closed himself off to break through to Immortal Monarch within a millennium.

Only Xuan Cheng, like Han Yi, who was of the Profound Immortal Realm yet possessed the permissions of a Golden Immortal, was able to join the Golden Immortal Pavilion. Moreover, his strength was such that he could be newly listed on the Void Tower’s Profound Immortal List, which was why he was summoned by the Golden Immortal Pavilion.

Watching the transformation in Xuan Cheng’s strength, a flicker of light passed through Han Yi’s eyes. Although he often secluded himself for cultivation previously, after the turmoil of the expedition, he had spent quite a bit of time paying attention to the affairs of the immortals within and outside of the Immortal Court, including this person of mysterious identity.

And opposite him, Xuan Cheng looked at Han Yi, his heart greatly shaken, even bordering on astonishment.

“Supreme State.”

“How is this possible?”

“The laws and Tao Principles have been altered, to achieve the Primordial Realm was already an immense stroke of luck, how could he have broken through to the Supreme State as well?”

“To break through, merely having the heritage of Ancient Gods is far from enough, unable to surmount Divine Tribulation, it’s absolutely impossible to cross the Realm.”

“But this aura, pure and genuine from the beginning, Divine Force possessing the grand power to alter reality, is clearly that of the Supreme State, I’m definitely not mistaken.”

“Hiss, does Han Yi have a Heavenly Sovereign capable of altering rules supporting him from behind?”

“This Immortal Realm is unpredictable, the war between two realms has just ended, and now a war between two races has started, let’s hope it won’t end up like in the Primordial Times, sinking the world in the process.”

“No, my strength is still insufficient, I must strive to break through to Golden Immortal in a shorter period of time, to possess a sliver of self-preservation power.”

Xuan Cheng’s heart was troubled, but his expression remained calm and inscrutable.

He and Han Yi bowed to each other from a distance; then, accompanied by a Golden Immortal from the Original Art Dojo with whom he was familiar, he left.

Not far from Han Yi, Jin Ming Taoist came walking slowly.

“Han Yi.”

Han Yi turned around and, bowing, said, “Greetings to Jin Ming Golden Immortal.”

Jin Ming Taoist said, “Now that you have also reached the Profound Immortal List and possess combat power at the Golden Immortal level, in addition to having the rights of a Golden Immortal, having entered the Golden Immortal Pavilion, there’s no need for such formalities, just call me Elder Brother.”

He looked at Han Yi, feeling suddenly sentimental.

It was just over four hundred years ago that Han Yi achieved True Immortal breakthrough and joined the Original Art Dojo. Yet in the span of a mere four hundred years, he hadn’t even fully comprehended the heritage within his broken Seventh-order Immortal Sword, his realm still trapped at the peak of Golden Immortal, with no path to Immortal Monarch, whereas Han Yi had been rapidly catching up, going from entering the True Immortal level to now, with although only the senior Profound Immortal realm, having the combat power of a Golden Immortal, all in four hundred years, repeatedly impressing him.

Four hundred years, for most True Immortals, is nothing but a standard period of closed-door cultivation, the time it takes to comprehend a Second-stage Immortal Skill. But Han Yi’s growth was astonishing, now ranked at number fifty-seven on the Profound Immortal List.

Jin Ming Taoist, having ascended from the Profound Immortals himself, was well aware of the significance of this ranking on the list.

Han Yi nodded, without affectation. He inquired about what happened in the Deep Red Thunder Prison years ago, to which Jin Ming Taoist gave a brief explanation.

Years ago, he and dozens of Golden Immortals attempted to besiege an Evil Immortal from Evil Mountain. The battle was fierce, and it was only after snapping his own sword that they managed to severely wound a Peak Golden Immortal level Evil Immortal. He too was injured in the process and was forced to escape deeper into the Deep Red Thunder Prison.

Later, when Han Yi sent word, the Immortal Court dispatched additional Golden Immortals for support and executed the Evil Immortal, rescuing the wounded Golden Immortals, among whom was Jin Ming Taoist.

“Right, this time the Immortal Court is preparing a squad led by Wan Chuan Immortal Venerate and Yuan Sui Immortal Monarch, deploying ten thousand Golden Immortals, a hundred thousand Profound Immortals, a million True Immortals, and tens of millions of lower-order cultivators, to confront the Demon Clan.”

“Moreover, this time the manpower distribution is not unified but organized by dojo.”

“That is to say, each dojo will need to defend its own territory.”

“The Original Art Immortal Monarch will likely mobilize as well.”

Pausing for a moment, Jin Ming Taoist said in a low voice:

“This Immortal Fight, I always feel there are complicated reasons behind it. You need to be extra cautious. Should you encounter a powerful Golden Immortal level Evil Immortal and cannot defeat them, flee, there’s no need to resist at all costs.”

Han Yi nodded, taking the consideration from Jin Ming Taoist as a sign of goodwill.

As soon as Jin Ming Taoist’s words fell, something occurred to Han Yi, who asked, “If that’s the case, wouldn’t the Immortal Court be utterly exposed, if the Demon Clan bypasses them and attacks first, wouldn’t we be cutting off our own retreat path?”

Jin Ming Taoist shook his head and said, “You can rest assured about that. The foundation of the Immortal Court is unimaginably deep. Even without the Dao Ancestor, it would be difficult for the Demon Court Dao Ancestor to breach the Immortal Court in a short time.”

As for fighting as dojos, it’s because the Immortal Court has not been at peace internally over the past decade or so; this arrangement can reduce suspicion and focus the attention of all immortals on the war between the two races.

After a brief chat, Jin Ming Taoist and Han Yi went their separate ways to prepare.

Three days later.

The squad from the Age Candle Immortal Court set out, arranged by dojos, heading towards the borderland between the two Immortal Courts in a grand procession.

Aboard the Original Art Dojo’s Immortal Boat, Han Yi gazed into the distance, his expression unsettled.
