I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples
Chapter 1823: Immortal Realm Scheming, Astonishing Conspiracy!

Chapter 1823: Chapter 1823: Immortal Realm Scheming, Astonishing Conspiracy!

The shadow rapidly ascended from the Hidden Dragon Abyss below. Xuan Master was the first to sense it, then pulled Xu Yeming directly into the spatial void.

Seeing this, Xu Yeming immediately understood what had happened.

He pulled out two Black Robes and draped them over himself and Xuan Master.

Xuan Master was momentarily stunned and asked, "What is this?"

Xu Yeming casually explained, "It masks one’s aura."

Xuan Master frowned, "The other party’s realm isn’t inferior to mine. Will this even work?"

Then, Xu Yeming stepped out of the spatial void. At the precise moment the Black Robe concealed him, Xuan Master’s expression turned aghast—he found himself completely incapable of sensing even the slightest trace of Xu Yeming’s aura, as if he had vanished from both view and perception entirely.

When Xu Yeming reappeared, seeing Xuan Master’s astonished expression, he spread his hands and said, "Got it now?"

Xuan Master’s throat moved, his tongue-tied nod indicating his understanding: "Your master crafted this?"

"Who else but Master could create such a heaven-defying artifact?"

Xuan Master was brimming with excitement, "Then can I..."

"Absolutely not," Xu Yeming rolled his eyes, "Master made it clear that this item must never be given to anyone else—it’s too easily exposed."

Hearing this, Xuan Master could only suppress his desire. Eyeing the Black Robe enviously, he eventually directed his gaze toward the depths of the Hidden Dragon Abyss.

Underneath the thick Golden Chains, the shadow was swiftly closing in.

Soon enough, it had already drawn near to the chains.

A figure clad in a white robe, with cascading long hair, sharp brows, and starlit eyes.

Circling around this white-robed man’s body, wisps of energy flowed like starlight — distinctly different from both immortal aura and spiritual energy.

"Someone from the Immortal Realm," Xuan Master narrowed his eyes and said gravely, "Looks like the Immortal Realm Channel beneath the Hidden Dragon Abyss has already been breached by them."

Xu Yeming was about to speak.

Then he noticed the white-robed man reaching toward the Golden Chains.

Xu Yeming asked, "Senior, his realm is equal to yours. Can he break these Golden Chains?"

Xuan Master decisively shook his head, "Absolutely not. Even I couldn’t forcibly shatter them without first dispelling the Dharma Seal sealing the chains. Unless they have..."

Before he could finish his sentence,

The white-robed man suddenly produced a black bottle.

The man poured the liquid from the bottle onto the Golden Chains.

At that moment, where the liquid touched the chains, a plume of thick black smoke erupted!

The Golden Chains over the Hidden Dragon Abyss began to tremble violently and intermittently flickered with dazzling golden light!

Xu Yeming looked toward Xuan Master, his speechless expression seemingly asking, "Didn’t you say it couldn’t be broken?"

Xuan Master’s brow twitched; this turn of events had slapped him in the face too quickly.

Yet after a moment’s thought,

If the other party didn’t possess the means to breach the Golden Chains, they wouldn’t have established their rendezvous point in the Hidden Dragon Abyss.

Xuan Master gazed at the now-open section of chain, just large enough for a single person to enter. He frowned and said, "The chains are broken, yet I should have been able to sense it. However, the Dharma Seal hasn’t reacted at all...

I must admit, the methods of the Immortal Realm are far too cunning."

Xu Yeming asked, "What should we do next? Are you confident in taking him down?"

Xuan Master shook his head, "He and I are in the same realm. Though this place lacks Divine Energy for him to replenish himself, if he’s determined to leave, I won’t be able to stop him—instead, it might alert them to our presence."

"So what good are you?"

Xuan Master’s old face turned red, "..."

Seriously?

He, the esteemed Guardian of the Chaos Realm, didn’t deserve a shred of respect?

Moreover, such a figure, even in the Immortal Realm, occupied a highly elevated rank—a true superior existence!

After breaching the Golden Chains, the white-robed man scanned the surroundings, setting up one perception formation after another, until nearly the entire Hidden Dragon Abyss was encircled by his arrangements. Only then did he retreat deeper into the abyss below.

Xu Yeming and Xuan Master, draped in their Black Robes, remained motionless within the spatial void.

They patiently waited outside the opening, awaiting the day the other party converged.

In less than eight days.

To Buddhist cultivators, this time passed as quickly as closing and opening one’s eyes.

Time slipped by like grains of sand escaping the corner of one’s sight.

At sunrise, there was still no activity.

But by sunset, as darkness spread throughout the night, both Xuan Master and Xu Yeming’s eyes sharpened simultaneously.

From not far away, figures cloaked in Black Robes zipped hastily toward the opening, one after another squeezing through it.

Admittedly,

Their movements were quite orderly.

Yet among them, one particular figure struck Xu Yeming as uncannily familiar.

"Let’s go—we’ll follow them."

Seeing that everyone had entered the opening and delved deeper into the Hidden Dragon Abyss, Xuan Master spoke.

Xu Yeming nodded, cloaked in the Black Robe bestowed by his master, and similarly slipped through the opening.

Trailing far behind those speeding figures cloaked in shadow.

The abyss was bottomless.

It took Xuan Master and Xu Yeming a full hour to reach the bottom.

Before them.

The seventeen black-robed individuals stood kneeling on one knee, facing a cavern’s entrance, appearing intensely devout.

Xu Yeming and Xuan Master, draped in Black Robes, hid behind a large stone nearby.

"That’s the Immortal Realm Channel. Originally, the exterior of the channel was sealed with multiple layers of Golden Chains. It seems they’ve already been breached now."

As Xuan Master spoke,

The white-robed man reappeared from within the cavern.

The white-robed man’s gaze carried an air of arrogance as he stared at the seventeen black-clad individuals, speaking indifferently, "Confirmed no one followed you?"

The leading black-robed individual responded with a hoarse, reverent voice, "Reporting to the lord, we were exceedingly cautious the entire way."

Upon hearing this voice,

Xu Yeming’s face subtly changed.

It was the same voice that had emanated from the prism earlier!

The white-robed man, having sensed no external disturbances via the perception formations outside the Hidden Dragon Abyss, nodded slightly, "Alright, rise."

"How many Sun and Moon Tokens do your subordinates have?"

The leading black-robed individual rose to answer, "A total of ten tokens."

Ten tokens.

Both Xuan Master and Xu Yeming furrowed their brows.

In other words.

They controlled the destinies of ten prodigies from the top factions.

Moreover... likely not only from the Xu Family and Xuanyuan Clan.

In other words, the scope of their rebel forces extended to other top factions as well.

This was far from good news.

Xuan Master’s face darkened with anger: "The Chaos Divine Dynasty was destroyed in this exact manner before. And now these top factions have learned nothing, allowing themselves to be infiltrated by the Immortal Realm’s agents again?"

The collapse of the Chaos Divine Dynasty was publicly attributed to its attempt to dominate and expand across all four continents of the Chaos Realm.

But in reality, the underlying conflict stemmed from Immortal Realm operatives infiltrating various factions, inciting disputes within.

This was what led to the downfall of the Chaos Divine Dynasty.

It had been the pinnacle of martial arts civilization in the Chaos Realm, the First Divine Dynasty.

Without the Immortal Realm’s interference,

It would never have been annihilated so thoroughly.

What the white-robed man said next made both Xuan Master and Xu Yeming’s hearts tremble in shock.

"Very well. Once the Chaos Divine Dynasty’s core site is activated, we will not only seize the dynasty’s core inheritance but also capture all the other factions’ prodigies in one fell swoop... Additionally, ensure that those prodigies under your control have restrictions placed upon them."
