Chapter 1026 - 1024: The Disappearance of the Red Immortal Sect!

Chapter 1026: Chapter 1024: The Disappearance of the Red Immortal Sect!

Jiang Jun stood on the Spirit Boat, gradually approaching one of the majestic mountains.

Lin Bai looked up and his eyes were filled with astonishment.

Having practiced his martial arts to this day, Lin Bai had traveled far and wide, visited the East Sea, journeyed through Lingdong, and seen innumerable mountains and seas, but he had never seen a mountain of such immense size.

What place is this to be called a mountain?

This is practically a world unto itself!

When Lin Bai’s Spirit Boat appeared before the mountain of the Five Peaks, the huge Spirit Boat seemed like a mere grain of sand in front of the mountain, utterly insignificant.

"This mountain, it’s too big."

Yejian Qiu also exclaimed in amazement.

Jiang Jun laughed and said, "Junior Brother, there is no need to panic. Every disciple from the Nine Courtyards who comes to the Five Peaks feels the same way. Even I was deeply shocked by the enormity of the Five Peaks when I came here for the first time!"

"I will first take you fellow Junior Brothers to the Fifth Peak to take care of some formalities, and then you will receive books introducing the Five Peaks. By then, you will understand."

Jiang Jun laughed as he steered the Spirit Boat towards one of the mountains and flew towards it.

"Senior Brother Jiang Jun, previously Dean Dugu Yun reminded me that the Five Peaks are very dangerous, and this place is a battlefield?" Yejian Qiu asked Jiang Jun curiously at this moment.

"Hehe, it seems the Dean really values you all, even telling you about the battlefield," Jiang Jun said with a light smile. "That’s right, the Five Peaks are indeed a battlefield!"

"However, this battlefield is not within the Five Peaks, but in the expanse of land before the Five Peaks!"

"Before the Five Peaks, there lies a wasteland spanning hundreds of millions of Territories!"

"Here, once stood a prime sect!"

"It was called the Red Immortal Sect!"

"The so-called battlefield is the ruins of the Red Immortal Sect," Jiang Jun said with a soft chuckle.

"Red Immortal Sect!" Lin Bai was startled, hearing this name again!

Back in the Ascension Palace within Martial Intent Mountain, the Fishing Old Man had mentioned the Red Immortal Sect.

At that time, Lin Bai inquired further, but the Fishing Old Man did not clarify directly.

Now that Lin Bai had arrived at the Five Peaks, he finally understood where the Red Immortal Sect was located.

"In the ancient times of the Barbarian Ancient Continent, many prime sects were born, such as the War God Palace, Red Immortal Sect, Slaying Immortal Sect, and so on."

"And this battlefield was where the mountain gate of the Red Immortal Sect used to be."

"The era of the Red Immortal Sect predated the birth of Miracle Ridge. How powerful was the Red Immortal Sect back then, it was one of the top sects on the Barbarian Ancient Continent."

"Under the Red Immortal Sect, there were fifteen thousand Direct Disciples, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand Core Disciples, thirteen million Inner Disciples, and countless Outer Sect Disciples. According to our estimates, the Red Immortal Sect had nearly a hundred million Outer Sect Disciples at the peak of its prime..."

Hisss—

Hearing Jiang Jun recount the history of the Red Immortal Sect, Lin Bai couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Fifteen thousand Direct Disciples.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand Core Disciples.

Thirteen million Inner Disciples!

Nearly a hundred million Outer Sect Disciples!

How mighty this sect must have been!

Such foundational strength of a sect could easily sweep across the entire world if it appeared on the Barbarian Ancient Continent today!

"How could such a mighty sect fall into decline?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"I don’t know," Jiang Jun said, smiling. "The Red Immortal Sect rose to prominence rapidly on the Barbarian Ancient Continent, but its downfall was just as swift."

"At the zenith of the Red Immortal Sect’s power, it disappeared from the Barbarian Ancient Continent overnight!"

"No one even knew where the mountain gate had gone."

Lin Bai, Yejian Qiu, and Jian Ruohan were all startled upon hearing this.

The Red Immortal Sect disappeared overnight?

Jiang Jun said, "It wasn’t until many years later that a warrior came to the Miracle Ridge, wanting to go to Lingnan. But among them was an array master who by chance discovered a magic circle!"

"This array master, gifted and talented, immediately stayed on the Miracle Ridge, started studying the magic circle!"

"For a full fifty-two years, oh, this array master researched for nearly an entire sixty-year cycle, and finally opened a gap in the magic circle!"

"He stepped inside, and after entering the magic circle, he discovered that this place was originally the mountain gate of the Red Immortal Sect that had suddenly vanished from the Barbarian Ancient Continent!"

"And the Red Immortal Sect, which was once as prosperous as the sun at its peak, had now turned into a land where bones piled up like mountains!"

"The tens of millions of disciples under the Red Immortal Sect, all dead!"

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan heard this, their eyes filled with shock.

"Heh, if you are disciples of the Array Dao Temple, you should have heard his name."

"He is called Luo Qi!"

Jiang Jun said with a smile.

"Luo Qi, the creator of Martial Intent Mountain and the Physical Spirit Arena, and the founding ancestor of the Array Dao Temple!" Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan both couldn’t help but exclaim, "So it was he who discovered the Chi Xianzong ruins?"

Jiang Jun nodded slightly and said, "That’s right, although no one knows why the Red Immortal Sect was annihilated, the treasures left within the Red Immortal Sect are real, thus, Luo Qi personally founded the Martial Arts Alliance of the Miracle Ridge!"

"The Miracle Ridge was initially created by Senior Luo Qi, called the Martial Alliance of the Miracle Ridge!"

"Senior Luo Qi invited all the warriors who had reached the Human Elixir Realm in Lingdong to come to the Miracle Ridge and explore the ruins of the Red Immortal Sect together."

"Firstly, we can find a large number of precious cultivation resources in the ruins!"

"Secondly, we can investigate why the Red Immortal Sect, which was once as prosperous as the sun at its peak, vanished overnight, and when it reappeared, it had become a land where bones piled up like mountains, a hell on earth!"

"So many years have passed, have you found any clues about the demise of the Red Immortal Sect?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Jiang Jun’s smile held a deeper meaning. "That I’m not certain of, maybe they haven’t found anything, or maybe they found something but no one dares to acknowledge it, hehe, these are matters for the higher-ups of the Five Peaks to decide, we can’t intervene!"

"Fellow junior brothers, what you need to do is to seize as many opportunities as you can inside the Red Immortal Sect before the catastrophe arrives, the more the better, once the catastrophe breaks out, we need to have the means to escape!"

"Additionally, you should be cautious of people from the Demon Clan, especially the Great Demons from the Thirty-six Demon Mountains and the Twelve Demon Mansions, these beings are like killing gods on the battlefield."

Jiang Jun said.

Jian Ruohan asked with confusion, "Catastrophe? What catastrophe?"

"Not clear, but there’s a rumor on the Five Peaks that the disaster that befell the Red Immortal Sect will appear again on the Miracle Ridge," Jiang Jun said with a smile, "But as for the specifics, I’m not clear either."

"The Demon Clan is also on this battlefield?" Lin Bai asked with curiosity.

"There’s no wall under heaven that blocks the wind entirely. After Senior Luo Qi discovered the Chi Xianzong ruins, it was impossible for him alone to explore the entire Red Immortal Sect, so he established the Martial Alliance of the Miracle Ridge!"

"And at that time, the Demon Clan also noticed the unusual activity, and back then, a great battle erupted with the Miracle Ridge!"

"In the end, Senior Luo Qi and the Dragon Emperor of the Underground Dragon Clan signed a secrecy pact."

"The agreement allowed the Human Clan of the Miracle Ridge and the Demon Clan to explore the ruins together, and forbade any masters of the Flying Sky Realm to meddle with anything inside the ruins!"

"The Dragon Emperor at that time also agreed, so the other end of this battlefield is made up of the Thirty-six Demon Mountains and the Twelve Demon Mansions."

"It’s also because of this pact that the news of the Red Immortal Sect didn’t leak out; otherwise, if the sects in Lingnan got wind of it, I’m afraid the Miracle Ridge wouldn’t be in possession of the Red Immortal Sect ruins now."

Jiang Jun said with a smile.

"Alright, enough talk, up ahead is the Fifth Peak."

"Let’s go, I’ll take you down to handle the formalities."

Jiang Jun steered the Spirit Boat downwards.

And at this moment, Longqing Feng, who was standing in a dark corner on the Spirit Boat, couldn’t help but get excited, his eyes showing heat as he inwardly exclaimed, "Red Immortal Sect! Red Immortal Sect! The ruins of the Red Immortal Sect that disappeared years ago are right next to Lingnan, in this desolate Miracle Ridge!"

"This news, I must immediately report back to the Azure Dragon Empire!"

"Once the empire has the Red Immortal Sect ruins, my empire could step out from the Territory of all nations and become a hegemon of the East Continent!"

Longqing Feng, as the Crown Prince of the Azure Dragon Empire, was now incredibly fervent in his heart!
