Chapter 1459: Chapter 901: Gathering Together

The decree spread across the four corners of the world, containing Jiang Hui’s supreme will, as if a blazing sun that could not be stared at directly.

Such an extraordinary phenomenon, apart from those in the King’s Domain or higher realms, was imperceptible to mortals and True Immortals alike.

They could only feel an inexplicable divine pressure descending from the heavens.

However, the collective movement of many Immortal Kings was quickly noticed by the beings within the Immortal Domain.

Although they couldn’t directly perceive the actions of the Immortal Kings, the immense aura spreading throughout the heavens and earth was like storm clouds before a tempest—daunting and inescapable, impossible to overlook.

For three full days, the Immortal Domain fell into utter silence.

Even the powerful cultivators of the True Immortal Realm shivered in fear.

...

On a certain green peak.

An elder with white hair and beard sat with eyes closed, meditating on the heart-palpitating divine pressure in the surroundings, his brows tightly furrowed. Beside him, a young disciple wore a face full of confusion and couldn’t help but ask, "Master, what exactly is happening? Why has the entire Immortal Domain suddenly been engulfed in such overwhelming pressure?"

The elder slowly opened his eyes, a trace of heaviness flashing within them. "This is the aura of Immortal Kings, and not just one—this is the effect of numerous Immortal Kings moving simultaneously. Such occurrences are rare. Likely, something monumental is about to happen."

"Something monumental?" The young disciple’s mouth fell open in shock. "Could it be that a great battle is about to break out?"

The elder shook his head, his expression complicated. "With the Master of the Holy Land present, a great battle is unlikely. However, for such a large number of Immortal King Ancestors to deploy, there must be something extraordinary behind it. Perhaps a Supreme Treasure has emerged. It is rumored that in the past, after the Emperor discussed the Tao in the Holy Land, celestial phenomena appeared, and the Emperor’s True Scripture self-manifested from the heavens and earth. Its whereabouts have remained unknown since. Could it be that it has been rediscovered?"

"The Emperor..." The young disciple’s eyes sparkled with excitement. "Master, should we also go and witness the excitement?"

The elder let out a wry chuckle. "Witness the excitement? Conflicts between Immortal Kings are not something we can meddle in lightly. One misstep, and it could be eternal damnation. It’s better to cultivate earnestly and improve your own strength."

On a solitary island.

An elder with a single arm stood atop a reef, the sea wind tousling his white hair. He gazed into the distance, his eyes filled with the vicissitudes of life and profound depth. Beside him, a young boy listened intently to the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, as if comprehending something from it.

"Master, do you know why the Immortal Kings are passing through this time?" The boy could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked.

The one-armed elder smiled faintly, his gaze unwavering from the horizon. "The matters of this world are often complex and unpredictable. The passage of Immortal Kings might be for a Supreme Treasure, a hidden secret, or something else. Regardless, we need only focus on ourselves, hold fast to our hearts, and we will find our own paths amidst these turbulent times. Now, come, let me see if your fishing skills have improved..."

"Got it, Master!"

The boy excitedly swung his fishing rod.

The elder, however, glanced leisurely at the heavens, where a blazing sun hung in the sky, though it was no true sun.

The boy nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

Three days later, the Immortal King’s divine pressure vanished, and the heavens and earth finally returned to peace. All beings could breathe in the fresh air and feel the long-lost freedom once more.

However, this extraordinary event naturally became the topic of idle gossip for many.

Of course, people only dared to discuss it in hushed tones behind closed doors, and even then, they carried an air of reverence—for the majesty of an Immortal King could not be desecrated.

As the three days of divine pressure gradually dissipated, the beings of the Immortal Domain, though still filled with doubt, began to resume their daily lives. Still, they all knew that the passage of the Immortal Kings this time was no coincidence. There must be secrets hidden behind the event, but their limited strength and status kept them from uncovering the truth—at least for now.

"Senior Liu, has something significant occurred?"

Guided by the Guiding Stone, Shi Hao was the first to arrive at Liu Village. After greeting Old man Lin, he hurried up the back mountain.

Jiang Hui had been staying here the past few days without choosing to enter seclusion.

After all, it was his sovereign decree; it wouldn’t do for the Immortal Kings summoned to find him missing upon their arrival.

"You’ve come. Take a seat," Jiang Hui said with a faint smile as he pointed lightly to a spot beside Shi Hao.

The next moment, a stone stool appeared beside Shi Hao.

Shi Hao, not standing on ceremony, promptly sat down on the stool, waiting quietly for Jiang Hui’s next instructions.

He lowered his head, restraining his urge to examine the surroundings. Instead, he kept his gaze confined within a one-meter radius around him.

Shi Hao knew that this was the core of Senior Liu’s cultivation ground.

And ultimately, he was not a native of this village, so he ought to mind his manners.

Jiang Hui, of course, noticed Shi Hao’s cautious behavior, but he said nothing.

Although this was his cultivation ground, it contained no significant secrets. The reason he had built his residence here was simply that he had originally spent the earliest days of his practice on this back mountain.

Moreover, the flat and expansive landscape here eventually led him to prefer staying put instead of relocating elsewhere.

That said, within the entirety of Liu Village, Shi Hao’s assumptions weren’t entirely wrong. Whether it was the World Tree or the Cycle of Reincarnation, they were all situated here.

Nonetheless, Jiang Hui wasn’t concerned about Shi Hao observing the area. After all, Shi Hao wouldn’t be able to discern much, and Jiang Hui could even gain a little experience from the Emperor Huang Tian through this.

That said, he wouldn’t force the matter.

The experience points weren’t substantial—hardly worth it—and it didn’t align with his character to push unnecessarily.
