Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 224 - 214: Attention

Great Sun Sword Sect.

The sect’s gate was a towering mountain standing by the sea.

At that time, Vice Hall Master and Eastern Sea Archipelago Affairs Director Chi Songzi was quietly waiting in the living room of the main castle within the gate.

Soon, a graceful figure walked out from inside.

She appeared to be a young girl in her late teens, dressed in heavy religious attire.

Yet, upon seeing this figure, even Chi Songzi, the Vice Hall Master of the Campaign Hall, did not dare to take her lightly and stood up immediately, "Miss Qingzi."

"The Holy Master is waiting for you, please follow me."

The girl spoke and led Chi Songzi into the temple.

As they passed through a courtyard, Chi Songzi noticed traces of a formation.

And as they entered this area of the formation, he felt an indescribable pressure.

It was like entering a high gravity field; in this area, even he, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, felt slightly uncomfortable.

As the two moved forward, the gravity became stronger.

Until they passed another corridor, the view before Chi Songzi abruptly cleared, revealing an open space with a kilometer radius where he could clearly see the surging sea of clouds on the opposite side.

However, what first captured Chi Songzi’s attention was not the vast sea of clouds but a giant python on the square, its diameter still a hundred meters even while coiled on the ground, and possessing three heads.

That terrifying pressure, like a heavy gravitational field, emanated from this monstrous beast.

Black Heavenly Divine Python!

Codenamed Grand Black Heaven.

The strongest existence of the Great Sun Sword Sect!

A divine beast comparable to the first generation of Star Gods! Your next read awaits at novelbuddy

As well, it was the foundation that allowed the Great Sun Sword Sect to become a major sect!

Soon, Chi Songzi withdrew his gaze and paid his respects to a man who was personally cleaning the body of the Grand Black Heaven, "Holy Sect Master."

This man was none other than the supreme ruler of the Great Sun Sword Sect, the master of the divine beast Grand Black Heaven—Longze Chuan.

However, at this time, the Sect Master of the Great Sun Sword Sect did not respond.

After paying his respects, Chi Songzi stood by quietly.

He had noticed that also standing and waiting were the Heavenly Palace Hall Master Bai Shi and the Penalty Hall Master Teng Ye.

Both of them were even more influential figures than him.

After a while, Longze Chuan finished cleaning the body of Grand Black Heaven.

The huge creature also let out a low growl, flicked its tongue, and then...

Its massive body gradually moved, unfolded, and like three flood dragons, soared into the sky towards the sea of clouds.

Only when this divine beast completely unfolded did Chi Songzi realize that it was not merely a hundred meters long but had exceeded a thousand meters.

As it soared into the sky, its enormous body exerted a tremendous pressure, even impacting Chi Songzi, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

After Grand Black Heaven had gone far, Longze Chuan put down the washing item in his hand and finally spoke, "Bai Shi, share the news you’ve gathered."

"Yes."

Projection status Heavenly Palace Hall Master Bai Shi answered and began, "After over two years and three months of continuous investigations, we finally clarified the defeat at Divine Fire Court and the disappearance of the Spring Rain Vessel of the Celestial Warship. Strictly speaking, these two matters can be considered a single event, which is the change in the strength of the Nine Cauldrons Sect, and at the core of these strength changes, there lies a powerful Superior Grade Spiritual Treasure newly appeared within the Nine Cauldrons Sect."

He glanced at Chi Songzi and Teng Ye, "Perhaps you both have heard of this spiritual treasure, named ’Yuanjie’!"

"Yuanjie!?"

Chi Songzi and Teng Ye were both momentarily stunned.

"That special spiritual treasure which the Artifact Sect intended to refine to counter the ’Divine Cultivators’ of the Moon Demon Empire!?"

They quickly recalled the origin of this spiritual treasure.

It was indeed the main reason why the Moon Demon Empire later destroyed the Artifact Sect with all its might.

"Correct."

Bai Shi nodded, "The development of our Cangwu Great World’s Divine Cultivators into the Dharma Phase system was influenced by the ’Divine Path’ system of the Moon Demon Empire, so in terms of cultivation system, our Dharma Phase Cultivators are not much different from the powerful individuals of the Moon Demon Empire; they only differ in the essence of life. Naturally, the Yuanjie claimed by the Artifact Sect could suppress the Divine Cultivators of the Moon Demon Empire, so suppressing our world’s Primordial Spirit Cultivators and even displaying power similar to a Dharma Phase Cultivator is hardly difficult."

With some emotion, he added, "The Divine Fire Court, the Spring Rain Vessel are equivalent to opposing two of the strongest Battle Courtyards of the Nine Cauldrons Sect along with a Dharma Phase Cultivator. Losing was not unjust."

"Surprisingly..."

Chi Songzi’s eyes flashed with fear.

Nine Cauldrons Sect...

Truly worthy of inheriting the ’legacy’ of one of the ten great Immortal Sects, the Artifact Sect. They indeed possess such profound foundations!

"Of course, Yuanjie is the main reason for the defeat of the Divine Fire Court, but as for the disappearance of the Spring Rain Vessel, Yuanjie only assisted from the side..."

Bai Shi spoke seriously, "According to our spies who risked their lives to obtain the information, the Spring Rain Vessel had already arrived at the Nine Cauldrons Sect’s Third Heavenly Patrol Research Institute over two years and three months ago and was secretly researched and replicated by the Nine Cauldrons Sect... We had speculated this based on the personnel movements at the Third Heavenly Patrol Institute, but the Nine Cauldrons Sect was too careful in guarding this research institute, and it was not until recently that we obtained certain information..."

"The Spring Rain Vessel was actually captured!? How is that possible!? The Spring Rain Vessel was manned by brave warriors, and Zuo Chuan was extremely loyal to the sect. If he noticed they could not resist, he would rather blow up the Spring Rain Vessel than let this warship fall into the hands of the Nine Cauldrons Sect. How could it be... captured by them!?"

Chi Songzi was somewhat incredulous.

"This inevitably involves a key individual, the chief of Purple Cloud Courtyard, chief of Sea Fortification Courtyard, and vice-masters of both the Mysterious Truth Hall and Artifact Refining Hall—Alkaid!"

"Him?"

Chi Songzi was naturally very impressed with this name.

The Limitless Star Palace had even requested that they hand over this "talent" to them.

Bai Shi’s face looked somewhat displeased as he said, "In fact, several years ago, when the Purple Cloud Courtyard sold a batch of superior spiritual artifacts to the Golden Temple, we noticed his existence. However, at that time, most of our attention was still focused on the real power figures of the Nine Cauldrons Sect, and we did not pay enough attention to someone who could only refine spiritual artifacts. But in reality... this Alkaid is a genuine artifact refining genius. In recent years, the Purple Cloud series of flying swords newly equipped by the Nine Cauldrons Sect were almost all crafted by him alone!"

"Purple Cloud series of flying swords."

Chi Songzi had learned of the existence of these flying swords from the survivors of the Divine Fire Court.

In terms of advancement, they were no longer inferior to their main flying swords.

"And what is most surprising is that artifact refining is only his side job; his real expertise is in formations!"

Bai Shi said gravely, "Although I haven’t experienced it firsthand, based on the information we’ve gathered and analyzed from various sources, the reason why the Spring Rain Vessel was captured at that time was partially because the power of the Spiritual Treasure from the Primordial Realm completely overwhelmed us. Another reason was that Alkaid, with his exquisite skills in formations, managed to disintegrate all the defensive formations on the Spring Rain Vessel in a very short time, leaving Zuo Chuan no time to fight a mutually destructive battle."

"How is that possible!?"

Chi Songzi and Teng Ye said in unison.

Among them, Teng Ye, from the Judicial Hall, continued, "Although I’m not very familiar with celestial warships, I know that a celestial warship involves various formations, and defense is of utmost importance. Its complexity and hybrid nature are incomparable to any treasure or city defense formation. What kind of person could have such strength to master all defensive formations and destroy a celestial warship’s defenses in such a short time?"

Chi Songzi nodded in agreement.

Clearly, he had the same idea.

"Though it’s hard to believe, it is the truth," Bai Shi said. "Two years ago, Alkaid was appointed as the commander of the Third Celestial Research Institute, and he has won everyone’s trust. The attack and analysis on our Great Sun Sword Sect’s Spring Rain-class celestial warship by the Nine Cauldrons Sect were all led by him. According to the information we’ve received, in just two years, they have already achieved quite impressive results."

"This..."

Chi Songzi and Teng Ye found it somewhat hard to accept.

"In this world, there’s never a lack of geniuses. Some people’s talents are indeed beyond measurable standards."

At this moment, Longze Chuan, the Sect Master, spoke, "Now, the key issue is whether such a genius can be utilized by our Great Sun Sword Sect."

"The Sect Master means..."

Teng Ye seemed to guess something.

Longze Chuan’s gaze also fell on him, "I have informed the Limitless Star Palace about the matter of the Primordial Realm. They will deal with it after they’re done with the Black Feather Sect. This Alkaid, let someone approach him. As long as he is willing to join our Great Sun Sword Sect, we can satisfy all his demands."

Upon saying this, he paused, "But, the chances are very slim. If we were as strong as the Limitless Star Palace, maybe we could persuade him to join us, but the Great Sun Sword Sect... though stronger than the Nine Cauldrons Sect, doesn’t have an overwhelming advantage... so..."

The Sect Master of the Great Sun Sword Sect grew increasingly impassive, "If he refuses, then forcibly abduct him, and if he cannot be taken, let him die."

Teng Ye immediately lowered his head, "I will make arrangements now."

"It’s not just about making arrangements, we must ensure it is foolproof!"

Longze Chuan looked at Teng Ye, "Even if this leads to a complete fallout with the Nine Cauldrons Sect, it’s worth it! Sect Master Chi Songzi, I need you to lead the fleet to approach the coastline of the Nine Cauldrons Sect to support Teng Ye."

Upon hearing this, Chi Songzi and Teng Ye understood the determination of their Sect Master.

Immediately, the two solemnly promised, "We will not disappoint the Sect Master."

"Go. If necessary, imitate the Limitless Star Palace and penetrate deep into the territory of the Nine Cauldrons Sect with the ’Vajra’ Celestial Warship to forcibly abduct him."

Longze Chuan expressed his firm attitude.

"Yes."

The two answered decisively.

...

Purple Cloud Courtyard.

Alkaid, Xu Quexing, and others had smiles on their faces as they saw off the buyers from the Golden Temple in the Black Flame Continent.

"They really are loaded. In this year alone, haven’t we fulfilled their orders for over a thousand Purple Cloud 13s? The key is, each of these thousand flying swords has a net profit of over fifty thousand spirit stones!"

Alkaid sincerely marveled.

"The Golden Temple has severe wealth polarization; all the wealth is in the hands of a few Pharaohs with minimal public spending, so every year, they can afford to spend fifty or sixty million on various types of equipment. By reducing the original price of third generation inferior grade treasure flying swords from over a hundred thousand to eighty-five thousand, they naturally hoard them crazily," Xu Quexing said with a smile.

He then looked at Alkaid, "With these orders... the income that reached Hall Master Alkaid’s hands must be no less than forty million? Add on the dividend from the Spirit Gathering Array next month, and Hall Master Alkaid’s income this year shouldn’t be an issue to reach forty million! When are we placing the next order? Let the Logistics Hall and the Alchemy Hall earn something too."

"Can Chief Wu refine the third generation treasure pills yet?"

"Uh... not quite yet."

"Not quite yet..."

Alkaid was speechless.

It was ’not quite yet’ three years ago.

After another three years, it was still ’not quite yet.’

Year after year, he really didn’t know when her alchemical skills would breakthrough.

However, after a moment...

He seemed to think of something and said, "Wait for the Spirit Gathering Array dividend to come. I actually do have a major order, but it’s not for buying things. Instead, I hope the sect can mobilize all Primordial Spirit Cultivators who can enter the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Layer to cooperate with me in staging a play, and I will compensate all Cultivators."

"A play?"

Xu Quexing was a bit surprised, "What kind of play?"

"A simulation...of a Primordial Spirit advancing to a Dharma Phase."
