Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”You are the Inheritor of the Seed of the Great Dao, Yuan Haotian of the Profound Sun Continent?”

A man in a white robe emerged from the void. He scanned the area with a disdainful gaze, his aura heavy and profound, fully displaying the might of a True Immortal.

Ultimately, his gaze landed on the Vast Heaven Immortal Lord as he asked coolly.

”I am! I was not aware you would be gracing us with your presence, Upper Immortal. What are your commands?”

The Vast Heaven Immortal Lord replied respectfully.

Following his grandfather Yuan Haowen’s advice, he now showed not a hint of disrespect or displeasure.

In fact, he had sensed the terrifying strength of the newcomer.

Even though the Vast Heaven Immortal Lord was known as the most powerful expert on the entire Profound Sun Continent, he felt utterly outclassed.

His yearning for the True Immortal Realm grew ever stronger.

Sensing the eagerness in his heart, the white-robed man smiled faintly.

”I serve the Yuan Yang Immortal Monarch. My name is Yuan San, and I am his third attendant. I have come to the Profound Sun Continent on the Immortal Monarch’s orders to investigate a matter concerning this continent’s Preachers. Since you are the Inheritor of the Seed of the Great Dao, I’ll entrust you with the task of gathering the other ten. You won’t let me down, will you?”

”Rest assured, Upper Immortal. I will do my utmost and will not disappoint you, Immortal Envoy!”

Upon hearing that the Immortal Envoy served the Yuan Yang Immortal Monarch, the Vast Heaven Immortal Lord became even more deferential.

’An Immortal Monarch!’

’A being on par with a Martial Arts God King.’

Though he had vaguely heard elders mention in his childhood that his line of the Yuan Family was a side branch of the same Yuan Clan as the Yuan Yang Immortal Monarch.

But the Yuan Clan’s power in the Immortal Realm was immense. In recent years, they had even produced another Immortal Monarch Level powerhouse. There were likely countless remote side branches just like theirs.

The Vast Heaven Immortal Lord, Yuan Haotian, naturally dared not step forward and claim a connection.

Nevertheless, he was quite thrilled.

It wasn’t just him.

Yuan Haowen, who was always calm and composed, also sent a voice transmission at this moment: ”Haotian, I never expected the one to arrive would be an attendant of the Yuan Yang Immortal Monarch. This is an excellent opportunity. If we can handle this matter well, our bloodline might have a chance to catch the Immortal Monarch’s eye. That would be a tremendous blessing.”

”I understand, Grandfather. I will pour all my effort into this.”

Yuan San was clearly very satisfied with his attitude.

”I know you are also a descendant of the Yuan Clan. Before coming here, I heard from Yuanfeng True Immortal of the Celestial Origin Continent that this continent of yours has no True God Level powerhouses. Yet, you’ve never managed to unify it under the Immortal Dao. It’s because of a certain forbidden land, isn’t it? I just scanned it myself. There are indeed some insignificant Martial Dao mortals inside. After our current business is concluded, I will lend you a hand in clearing them out, allowing you to earn great merit. At that point, given your status as the Inheritor of the Seed of the Great Dao, I imagine the Immortal Monarch will grant you an audience.”

As soon as he said this, even the Vast Heaven Immortal Lord couldn’t help but get excited.

He said, his voice trembling slightly, ”Thank you, Upper Immortal! Thank you, Immortal Envoy! Should I truly be so fortunate as to be granted an audience with the Immortal Monarch, I will remember your kindness today for all eternity and never forget it.”

”Good. Since we both share the Yuan Clan bloodline, there’s no need to be so polite. Please make the arrangements. I’ve traveled all the way from the Immortal Realm and am a bit weary. I’d like to rest. I hope that by the time I’m well-rested, you will have already found out everything about the other ten Preachers.”

”Yes, the Immortal Introduction Hall is already prepared. Immortal Envoy, please follow me!”

After leading Yuan San to the Immortal Introduction Hall to rest, the Vast Heaven Immortal Lord’s heart was still pounding with excitement.

Originally, when he first received the Immortal Decree, he had assumed the visiting Immortal Envoy would be arrogant, rude, and difficult to please. He never imagined it would be one of Yuan Yang Immortal Monarch’s own attendants.

And he had even made him such a promise.

’Just thinking about it made him incredibly excited.’

”Haotian, you must handle this perfectly. You cannot disappoint the Immortal Envoy.”

Yuan Haowen felt a deep sense of gratification.

For so many years, since his generation, he had been striving for this goal. Now that they finally had a chance to succeed, how could he not be overjoyed?

Yuan Haotian nodded emphatically.

As for the leaders from the other Nine Great Immortal Sects and the domains of the Three Domain Lords, they all wore fawning expressions.

Even major powers like the Dragon-Slaying Immortal Sect and the Qin Family, who had never been fully subservient to the Vast Heaven Immortal Sect, couldn’t help but lower their proud heads.

Seeing them act this way filled the Vast Heaven Immortal Lord’s heart with a surge of satisfaction.

He knew they were surely still resentful deep down.

’But as long as I can pull this off and win the Immortal Envoy’s favor, what does it matter if they’re resentful? What can they possibly do about it?’

”Now, issue my Immortal Order: summon all the Preachers from every Sect. You are dismissed; go and carry it out.”

Conveniently, the leaders from the Nine Great Immortal Sects and the Three Domain Lords were all present. The Vast Heaven Immortal Lord gave the order directly, and none of them dared to delay.

Jealousy was one thing, but none of them dared to cause trouble at a time like this.

One wrong move could lead to a fate beyond redemption.

These people had managed to cultivate to the Void Immortal Peak; naturally, they wouldn’t do something so self-destructive.

Thus, they all accepted the command and went their separate ways to summon the required people.

After they had gone, Yuan Haowen suddenly frowned. ”I remember there’s still one Preacher in the Eastern Domain, at the Purple Flame Sect. Who should we send to fetch them?”

”The Eastern Domain?”

Yuan Haotian’s expression changed slightly.

If not for the Immortal Envoy’s arrival, his top priority would have been to lure the Martial Arts True God from the Eastern Domain—the one who killed over a hundred Void Immortals—to the Vast Heaven Immortal Sect to face his death.

Yuan Haotian had already formulated a plan to draw the man out.

But he had to shelve it because of the Immortal Envoy’s impending arrival.

Now, with that person still at large, any ordinary Void Immortal Level expert sent to the Eastern Domain would be marching to their death.

”I’ll go myself,” Yuan Haotian said suddenly.

He was quite confident in his own strength. Even if he wasn’t a match for a Martial Arts True God, he believed he could retreat unscathed. Besides, no one had definitively confirmed who was responsible for the deaths of those hundred-plus Void Immortals.

Perhaps the perpetrator had relied on some kind of powerful treasure.

They weren’t necessarily a True Divine Powerhouse.

However, Yuan Haowen clearly disapproved of his proposal.

”Right now, the Immortal Envoy has an excellent impression of you. Besides sharing the Yuan Clan bloodline, the biggest reason is that you are the Inheritor of the Seed of the Great Dao. As far as I know, once you become a True Immortal, you will even have a chance to compete for the position of Dao Child in the future.”

”If you become a Dao Child, even a Supreme Immortal Monarch might have to treat you as an equal. Therefore, you cannot leave right now. Let me make the trip. As it happens, I have some history with the previous patriarch of the Purple Flame Sect. In fact, the only reason this Preacher ended up with the Purple Flame Sect is that they used my name to get the better of the Ye Family. It is far more suitable for me to go.”

Without waiting for the Vast Heaven Immortal Lord to respond, Yuan Haowen tore open the fabric of space and vanished through the void, heading in the direction of the Purple Flame Sect.

The Vast Heaven Immortal Lord could only sigh in resignation and let him go.

’Grandfather’s strength isn’t that much less than my own. He should be fine.’

Thinking this, Yuan Haotian set his mind at ease.

But would things truly go as he expected?
