Chapter 1461 - 902: In Full Swing

Chapter 1461: Chapter 902: In Full Swing

In the village, on the expansive central plaza, Immortal Kings stood tall, exuding radiant brilliance that was nearly impossible to gaze upon directly.

However, this was Liu Village, the most sacred place in the entire Immortal Domain.

Thus, all the Immortal Kings subtly restrained their imposing aura as Immortal Kings.

Though they could reign supreme in their own territories, here, they chose to keep their demeanor as low-profile as possible.

This was not out of fear or submission, but rather due to the genuine reverence and awe they felt toward this supreme and unparalleled land.

A mixture of reverence and fear.

They harbored respect in their hearts, yet felt deeply apprehensive.

At that very moment, from the far end of the plaza, the sound of footsteps suddenly echoed.

The footsteps were steady and powerful, as if each step pounded directly onto the hearts of the Immortal Kings.

The Immortal Kings scattered across the plaza, some engaged in quiet conversations, others waiting silently, all abruptly ceased speaking and raised their heads to look.

Soon, before their eyes emerged a figure as pristine as snow—a silhouette resembling Qing Song.

Their gazes burned with fervent admiration, a boundless veneration and longing for a supreme being.

The next moment, the Immortal Kings quickly realized their momentary lapse.

This was none other than the Master of the Holy Land, the sole Immortal Emperor in all eternity.

An existence so unimaginable that they dared not gaze directly upon him in such a rude manner.

How irreverent and inappropriate!

The Immortal Kings swiftly adjusted their stance, lowering their heads in haste, their expressions humble and reverent, and spoke in unison.

"Greetings to Our Emperor!"

Jiang Hui nodded slightly.

He was dressed in a pure white robe woven from clouds and mist, embroidered with intricate and mysterious star patterns. With each step he took, the stars of the Star Sea seemed to flicker and dance.

His gaze was profound, as if piercing the essence of all things, yet carried an air of detached transcendence.

His black hair flowed unbound, swaying gently in the breeze, otherworldly and extraordinary.

"Honorable Immortal Kings, traveled from afar, it is my failure to extend a proper welcome." Jiang Hui spoke, his voice warm and crystalline, like a mountain stream trickling through the heart, soothing the soul and dispelling all tension and unease among the gathered Immortal Kings.

"My lord... You are far too gracious. To be welcomed personally by yourself is our utmost honor." An Immortal King clad in Golden Armor, bearing a Longsword on his back, spoke first.

The other Immortal Kings echoed his sentiments.

To meet an Immortal Emperor, whether approached in friendly words or he chose to land two resounding slaps upon their faces, they would still offer praise, marveling at his precision and strength.

Jiang Hui gently waved his hand, signaling them to forego formalities.

The Immortal Kings then shifted their focus to Jiang Hui’s side, where they noticed Shi Hao standing.

Immediately, they bowed toward Shi Hao, their movements synchronized, as if facing an exalted being, their expressions equally imbued with reverence.

"Greetings to Lord Emperor Shi!" the Immortal Kings called out in unison.

The Master of Liu Village was regarded as a True Emperor, while this individual, though slightly beneath that realm, was still a Quasi-Immortal Emperor—an existence esteemed beyond reach.

Shi Hao inclined his head, his demeanor calm and composed.

The Immortal Domain had undergone innumerable upheavals, particularly the recent, domain-wide debacle instigated by the Master of Liu Village during the "traitor purge," which had cleansed the long-standing corruption within the Immortal Domain.

Thus, the Immortal Kings present had all weathered that storm, proving their integrity and character, rendering them largely trustworthy. Moreover, by a certain measure, all those gathered here could be considered part of Liu Village’s faction—a council of allies.

"Ah, how fickle fate truly is."

As Shi Hao walked alongside Jiang Hui, one of the Immortal Kings muttered with a faint trace of undisguisable regret in his voice.

Once, these figures had regarded him as nothing more than an inconsequential ant. Now, they were compelled to stare in admiration at his departing silhouette, overwhelmed with bittersweet contemplation.

The surrounding Immortal Kings silently nodded, their hearts a complex medley of emotions.

Shi Hao’s rapid rise had far surpassed all expectations. Now, even within the vast Immortal Domain, he was among the most eminent beings. Comparing oneself to him was akin to juxtaposing an ant against a mountain.

Upon reaching the plaza’s central core, Jiang Hui came to a slow halt.

His gaze swept the assembly, his deep eyes seeming to unravel all mysteries as he spoke with steady calm, his tone unassailable yet imbued with quiet authority: "Honored guests, today I summon you here to discuss a matter of utmost importance."

The Immortal Kings perked up, collecting their thoughts, their attention fixed squarely on him, even holding their breath.

The gathering Immortal Kings were deeply curious—why had the near-unreachable Immortal Emperor personally called for this assembly?

While many of them had been eager for an opportunity to prove themselves before him, they also knew that a matter of such magnitude must be extraordinary, for it to warrant the intervention of the Immortal Emperor.

On their journey here, every single one of them had pondered countless times over what the issue might be. Yet, they could not fathom what matter could possibly warrant such concern from the Immortal Emperor.

Still, they were all ancient beings, having lived countless lifetimes. Their inability to piece together an answer stemmed solely from an insufficient grasp of the relevant information. From the fact that they were all summoned, it was evident that the matter must have ties to themselves, or even to the Immortal Domain as a whole.

"Not long from now, the Immortal Domain may face an unprecedented calamity." Jiang Hui stated directly, his voice low and weighty.

Each word struck like a hammer upon the hearts of the Immortal Kings.

"What?!" The Immortal Kings froze on the spot as they heard his words, their faces incredulous as shock overwhelmed them.
