Just a Useful Pawn in the Stain Sect

Chapter 950: Chapter 945: Immortal Pivot Enters!

While the Star Palace was mobilizing the power of the Outer Realm to attack the Celestial Mansion, the Stain Sect, the Sword Pavilion, and the Dao Court all received a sudden message from the Other Shore.

In the North, at the Sea of Clouds.

On the Holy Fire Cliff, World Purger Fei Xue stepped out. Dressed in red and white robes, she possessed the dignified grace of a classical lady, yet a cold sneer played at the corners of her mouth.

Almost simultaneously, several streaks of Flying Light descended from the sky. They were none other than Bright Pearl Great Saint, Profound Turtle Great Saint, True Monarch Zeng Cai Qiluo, and True Monarch of Contained Light and Floating Heaven. With the Pure Land Extinction, the total annihilation of the Dao Court, and World Purger Fei Xue successfully advancing to the Late Stage of Golden Core, the power of the Stain Sect had expanded to an unprecedented level.

”A message from the ancestral master,” World Purger Fei Xue said evenly once everyone had gathered. ”The Star Palace has invaded the Celestial Mansion, and the Celestial Mansion has come asking for help. The ancestral master requires us to go and rescue the Celestial Mansion.”

”The Celestial Mansion?” True Monarch of Contained Light and Floating Heaven was taken aback. ”Isn’t the Celestial Mansion our enemy? They are attacking each other, a real dog-eat-dog situation. What does that have to do with us?”

”That was then, this is now,” World Purger Fei Xue said, shaking her head. She immediately divided several strands of spiritual perception, detailing the situation of Taiyin Immortal Venerable. This brought a sudden realization to the group, but Profound Turtle Great Saint still couldn’t help asking, ”If we go to aid the Celestial Mansion, what about the Immortal Pivot?”

At the mention of this, everyone cast a subtle glance at the sky.

There, the star formed by the Profound Spirit Realm remained as bright as ever. To many Perfected Lords, this star was like a sharp sword hanging right above their heads.

Hearing this, World Purger Fei Xue merely shook her head. ”There is no need to worry. The ancestral master has already reached an agreement with the Daoist Court Daoist Lord. After we leave, the Dao Court will temporarily manage the Immortal Pivot to free us from any worries here.”

”Ah? The Dao Court?”

The moment these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Who didn’t know that the Dao Court had just suffered at the hands of the Primordial Celestial Demon? Their entire army had been wiped out, and even all their Perfected Lords had died.

”Can the current Dao Court still hold the Immortal Pivot?” Profound Turtle Great Saint couldn’t help but question. Without any Perfected Lords standing guard, wouldn’t they be bullied even by the Outer Dao?

”Do not underestimate the Dao Court,” World Purger Fei Xue said with a smile. ”Those cowards in the East may lack aggression, but they are incredibly formidable when it comes to defending their legacy. Every sect actually goes through ups and downs, but the Dao Court alone remains the most stable. No matter what happens, they always have a solid foundation.”

World Purger Fei Xue had barely finished speaking. Suddenly, from the direction of the East, a beam of spirit light shot up into the sky, illuminating the heavens. It then scattered, blanketing the Immortal Pivot like a massive spider web.

The Immortal Dao Law!

Meanwhile, inside the Dao Court, under the watchful eyes of the masses, the current Crown Prince officially ascended the throne. In an instant, his cultivation surged, smoothly breaking through from Foundation Establishment Perfection to become a Perfected Lord.

Not only that, but the Junior Master, Junior Tutor, and Young Protector were all promoted in official position as well, succeeding to the positions of the Three Ministers. This triggered the resonance of the Three Ministers’ Cave Heaven and their Fruit, leading them to successively achieve the status of Perfected Lords. However, even at this point, they were still just four at the Early Stage of Golden Core; compared to the other forces, their strength was still not worth mentioning.

Thus, very quickly, another anomaly occurred.

”Long live the Emperor, long live, long live!” After succeeding to their positions, the Three Ministers immediately led the hundred officials in a deep kowtow toward the newly appointed Emperor, who held the Jade Seal. Thousands of official positions linked together.

The Qi trace of the newly ascended Emperor immediately skyrocketed!

This was because the cultivation of the Emperor differed from that of outsiders. There was no need to refine a True Treasure to reach the Middle Stage of Golden Core; as long as he could control the imperial court, he would naturally break through!

Immediately after, the Three Ministers of the Dao Court rose to their feet. The Fruit of Level-Ground Wood and the Gold Platinum separated from them, merging with the Fruit of Roadside Earth controlled by the Emperor. In an instant, the Three Elements were gathered. As for the issue of their ratios, the Immortal Dao Law handled it entirely on their behalf, proceeding without any stiffness or stagnation.

The circulation of the Three Elements—a Great Perfected Lord!

For a moment, all the Perfected Lords who witnessed this scene, with the exceptions of World Purger Fei Xue and True Monarch Gangxing, fell into silent shock.

They wondered, ”What the hell is this!?”

Just a moment ago, the Dao Court’s entire army had been wiped out, leaving not a single Perfected Lord to hold down the fort. Yet the very next second, they suddenly had one Great Perfected Lord and three Perfected Lords?

”This is the true strength of the Dao Court!” Seeing this, World Purger Fei Xue couldn’t help but sigh. ”These cowards have put all their effort into defending what they have. They may not be top-tier, but they will never fall behind, either.”

Therefore, among the Four Great Forces, only the Dao Court could endure dynastic changes, and their Perfected Lords could die casually. This was because Perfected Lords were never the foundation of the Dao Court; the Immortal Dao Law was. As long as the Immortal Dao Law did not collapse, even a Great Perfected Lord could be cultivated overnight!

”Of course, there are also drawbacks.” Saying this, World Purger Fei Xue glanced at the newly ascended Emperor, only to see that his eyes were completely covered by golden light, devoid of any discernible thought.

”Such a forced growth relies entirely on the Immortal Dao Law.

”If it were Emperor Jia You, he might have been able to maintain his sense of self, but this newly ascended Emperor will likely only exist as a mere proxy of the Immortal Dao Law.”

With those words, she waved her sleeve.

”Thus, the future troubles have been eliminated.

”Everyone, the Star Palace is attacking the Celestial Mansion. The other side has already triggered the Millennial Tribulation ahead of schedule. Since we have no worries about the rear, we should immediately head out to support the Celestial Mansion.”

Meanwhile, at the Sword Pavilion in the South.

On Zenith Cliff, True Monarch Gangxing stood with his hands clasped behind his back. The fierce astral winds whipped his robes, producing sounds reminiscent of ringing swords. The Great Perfected Lord of the Sword Pavilion let out a heavy sigh.

”The great tribulation has arrived, yet my severe injuries refuse to heal.”

Demon Subduing Zhenren had already gone into seclusion once more, but let alone attaining the Fruit of Blade-Edge Metal, he hadn’t even refined his Fifth Divine Technique yet. He was completely useless in this situation.

What should they do?

At this thought, he rested his hand on the Eternal Sword at his waist, and a bold idea suddenly sprouted in his mind. He thought, ”The Millennial Tribulation actually doesn’t care about factions.”

Setting aside the two Masters of Dao outside the Immortal Pivot for now, the four Masters of Dao within the Immortal Pivot had long since reached a consensus: push forward the Millennial Tribulation to force the Tribulation to manifest, and then let the Perfected Lords slaughter one another. It was like beasts in a fighting pit; they would be nurtured until the last surviving person took control of the Tribulation, thereby stepping onto the Other Shore.

In other words, factions did not matter.

Who won was the only thing that mattered.

He pondered, ”The Immortal Pivot? But the Immortal Pivot has four sects. That’s far too many. As the Great Perfected Lord of the Sword Pavilion, backstabbing the other forces wouldn’t be a problem for me at all...”

With this in mind, True Monarch Gangxing glanced upward again.

Above the canopy of the sky, the Profound Spirit Realm hung high.

He wondered, ”The Qi trace of the Immortal Monarch of Tribulation has disappeared... Did he ultimately choose to side with the Star Palace? That works out perfectly.”

Having reached this conclusion, the Great Perfected Lord of the Sword Pavilion made his decision. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly as his heavy mood was completely swept away, leaving him feeling as though heaven and earth had suddenly widened.

This seemingly lengthy decision-making process had actually taken place the very moment Taiyin Immortal Venerable called for help. From beginning to end, it took less than fifteen minutes to reach a conclusion.

Therefore, right as the Star Palace’s grand army bore down upon them, streaks of Flying Light were already tearing through the void. Locking onto their coordinates, they landed directly on the Celestial Mansion Ninth Layer. Looking out, one could see that the Stain Sect and the Sword Pavilion had arrived in full force. Although the Dao Court did not appear in person, they also utilized the Broken Void, manifesting figures of light and shadow.

RUMBLE!

At this moment, all the Perfected Lords of the Immortal Pivot erupted with their Qi traces in unison. Instantly, twelve pillars of Divine Light pierced through heaven and earth, blazing so intensely that they brilliantly illuminated the Sea of Light!

A mere twelve Perfected Lords were actually enough to eclipse the thirty-six True Monarchs of Magical Power of the Star Palace!
