CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 139: THIS TIME IT’S SECURED

On Tongyou Island overseas, the leaders of the Eight Great Sacred Lands gathered.

They were discussing the recent incidents at the Silence Sacred Land.

"Feixian Sect cannot be let off."

With just one sentence from Venerable Wu Huan of the Purple Origin Sacred Land, the tone of the secret meeting was set.

The Supreme Elder of the Li Guang Sacred Land, Venerable Cangwu, with his long gray eyebrows slightly twitching, opened his wrinkled eyes, and his whole demeanor shifted from ancient dead wood to a sharp unsheathed blade.

"They broke the rules."

"Destroying a Sacred Land requires a price to be paid."

The Sect Leader of the White Rainbow Sacred Land, Venerable Zhonglang, nodded in agreement.

"Silence Sacred Land was as close as kin to us, this action shows they disregard the Eight Great Sacred Lands."

The leaders of all the major Sacred Lands present all agreed.

"There’s no need for Feixian Sect to exist."

"A force that rose so suddenly is too dangerous, better to erase it early."

"The Eight Great Sacred Lands can sweep away Feixian Sect without much effort."

Including the destroyed Silence Sacred Land, among the Nine Sacred Lands, although there was interaction, truth be told, there were more disputes and frictions daily.

After all, they were all in the Thousand Spirit Domain, and were forces of equal standing, how could there not be some conflicts.

Avenging Silence Sacred Land?

What a joke.

Everyone here has lived for millions of years—no one is that impulsive and hot-blooded, and their relationships aren’t strong enough.

Their righteous indignation had other reasons.

The cake of the Thousand Spirit Domain is only so big, and the nine families have already divided it up completely.

This is their sphere of influence, and they wouldn’t allow outsiders to touch this cake.

Any rising force would be attacked by them.

Back then, even the arrival of Mingxin Sacred Land made them uncomfortable.

However, Mingxin Sacred Land had up to five Ascending to Saint individuals, with overall power stronger than any single one of them. They also had the top-grade magical treasure Heart-Piercing Awl, capable of combatting Saint Tier beings.

Plus, Mingxin maintained extreme discretion and never competed for resources, thus they were tacitly allowed to remain.

But this time, Feixian Sect was different.

If we look back at Jiang Cheng’s rise, it’s clear he wouldn’t adhere to the ’game rules’ set by these Sacred Lands.

In their eyes, this instability was too dangerous.

It would certainly affect their domination over the Thousand Spirit Domain.

The secret meeting quickly reached a consensus; none of the Eight Great Sacred Lands wanted to see Feixian Sect continue.

However, the atmosphere then became strange.

"This Feixian Sect is going too far."

"Yes indeed, must be destroyed."

"The alliance of the Eight Great Sacred Lands is a must!"

"Indeed, indeed..."

"It’s said Feixian Sect only has a group of Gathering Yuan Realm disciples; they are weak and can be easily wiped out."

"It should be easy, a piece of cake."

"No need for all eight families to act, one alone can flatten them."

This unproductive conversation dragged on for hours, still without a resolution.

A fight is inevitable.

But how to fight?

No Sect Leader present stepped forth to say they’d lead an attack.

The expressions of everyone were quite subtle.

Having lived this long, who here is a fool?

If Feixian Sect and Silence Sacred Land had fought fiercely, they would’ve already led people to support Silence Sacred Land.

But the issue was, Silence Sacred Land was wiped out in just one day.

Completely annihilated without a trace left.

If it weren’t for Feixian Sect’s own announcement, the outside world would have known nothing.

And that was a vast Sacred Land with power equivalent to theirs!

Nobody knows how they were destroyed.

The implications behind this are terrifying.

Everyone present could guess—there’s a Saint Tier backing Feixian Sect.

Charging in recklessly would be courting death.

That’s why they gathered at Tongyou Sacred Land, because Saint Bi Feng is the Supreme Elder there.

To deal with a Saint Tier, a Saint Tier must be involved personally.

Seeing no progress in discussions, Venerable Cangwu had to speak up.

"I wonder if the honorable Saint could personally eradicate this evil?"

The Sect Leader of Tongyou Sacred Land, Venerable Xunguang, upon hearing this, closed his eyes to sense for a moment.

"The Supreme Elder’s Dharma Body is traveling and hasn’t returned; the main body remains in seclusion."

Upon reaching the peak of Saint Tier, one can form a Dharma Body, possessing one-tenth the power of the main body, though most cultivators refrain from doing so.

Forming a Dharma Body weakens the main body by one-tenth.

The Dharma Body can’t cultivate, having multiple Dharma Bodies doesn’t increase combat strength.

If the Dharma Body is destroyed, it damages the main body’s Dao practice.

The Dharma Body does have the benefit of being able to travel across domains.

Saint Tiers, due to their immense power, are suppressed by the rules when crossing domains, like Three-Eyed Tiger, who must tuck tail in the Thousand Spirit Domain.

If found by a local Saint Tier, it might be attacked.

The Dharma Body doesn’t have this worry.

Since it isn’t the main body, it isn’t suppressed by world rules when crossing domains.

And even if the Dharma Body is destroyed, the main body doesn’t perish, at least escaping a fate of complete annihilation.

"This..."

"What should we do?"

They dared not inquire where the Saint’s Dharma Body was traveling.

Everyone was only filled with worry.

"Without the Saint stepping in, it will be hard to resolve."

"Who knows when the honorable Saint will end the seclusion?"

Venerable Xunguang sighed: "The Supreme Elder is profoundly mysterious; even I cannot fathom his actions..."

Before he could finish, he suddenly closed his mouth.

He then slightly closed his eyes, nodding continuously.

As if conversing with someone.

A moment later, he stood up, beaming.

"Everyone, please return, Feixian Sect is no longer a concern."

Everyone was stunned: "Why is this?"

Venerable Xunguang cupped his hands in a certain direction, solemnly saying: "Our Supreme Elder has made arrangements."

"I see!"

"The Saint is finally intervening!"

"It’s secured!"

"Ha ha, Feixian Sect is finished for sure."

Everyone let out a long breath and departed.

Meanwhile, at Mingxin Sacred Land’s Heart Division, a ’distinguished’ guest had arrived.

This person, tall and slender, with a broad forehead and long nose, a slightly short chin, seemed ordinary at first glance, yet upon closer inspection, made others feel inadequate.

As if he was the center of the universe.

He stood there, with a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth. To others, he seemed like a towering mountain, an infinite sea, unfathomable.

Though appearing to be in his thirties, the members of the Heart Division dared not show any negligence.

Clan Leader Qingsuo connected a strand of Divine Thought with the Heart-Piercing Awl, cautiously asking.

"What brings Saint Bi Feng here?"

Recognizing it as a Dharma Body, but even so, it was still a manifestation of Saint Tier power.

Saint Bi Feng gave a slight smile: "The cooperation we discussed back then needs some changes."

He was referring to the plan regarding the nine magical treasures working together to open the Void Immortal Realm.

Eight of those nine magical treasures are with the Eight Tribes of the Immortal Remnant Race, with the Heart-Piercing Awl being one of them.

Meanwhile, the Bone Refining Banner from the Witch Division, fell into his hands millions of years ago.
