Realm-Hopping Martial Master

Chapter 1156: Chapter 620: The Alliance Hierarch of the War Alliance

Zi Ling, as the personal maid of the current apparent leader of the War Alliance, has a cultivation realm similar to his.

Moreover, she was born with a special physique capable of penetrating illusions, making her extremely sensitive to such impurities. She left immediately with orders from Zhan Jiuxiao.

"So that’s how it is..."

Jiang Shu slowly nodded and sighed,

"Indeed, it’s a tumultuous time."

Even such top-secret matters were divulged by Zhan Jiuxiao to Jiang Shu, shedding any sense of barrier, he nodded and said, "The origin of this impurity is extremely mysterious, even I have never seen it. Only an elder Saint mentioned having a vague impression but can’t recall clearly."

Hearing this, Zhan Feng, who was pretending to be unconscious nearby, couldn’t hold it anymore and propped himself up to ask, "Father, are you joking?"

"Having reached the Saint Realm, every fragment of one’s life is vividly clear, even events from when one was just born are remembered distinctly. How is it possible to forget such so-called matters?"

What Zhan Feng said was not false.

At the Saint Realm, it’s as if living for eternity, with everything they’ve experienced—even glimpses and whispers as infants—being as clear as if they just happened. Such an impurity would be a significant matter no matter when it was encountered, how could even Saints forget it?

Zhan Jiuxiao nodded seriously and said, "This is another bizarre aspect of this thing."

"It seems to disrupt people’s perception; whether seen in person or merely heard of, their understanding gradually distorts. Those below the Ninth Realm, who have yet to touch the laws, will forget all about them in a very short time, even records elsewhere will vanish."

"Even Saints are not spared; their memories are covered until they hear the name of this object again."

Zhan Jiuxiao wasn’t a verbose person, yet today he spoke at length.

Zhan Yun seemed deep in thought, then asked, "Father, do you think this impurity might be related to the Doomsday Sect?"

"I’ve felt something amiss this entire time."

"Almost all the powerful forces know of the Doomsday Sect’s peculiarities and strength, like facing a major enemy. But after poring over all the texts, we can’t pinpoint the source of the Doomsday Sect’s power. By looking at the paper records alone, it seems inferior to those dubious paths in the cosmic space, which is simply inexplicable."

Zhan Feng’s mind wasn’t as agile as his sister’s, and hearing this, his eyes suddenly widened; he had suffered setbacks in the ancient path, full of resentment with no outlet.

Hearing the three words ’Doomsday Sect,’ he suddenly seemed to find a direction.

There was a hint of smile on Zhan Jiuxiao’s face, seemingly very pleased that Zhan Yun could think along these lines.

"This is also what I thought earlier."

"In my memory, there are not many clues about the Doomsday Sect either. Unfortunately, the Doomsday Sect has always remained hidden behind various forces. If the situation was stable, our War Alliance would naturally act. But as of now, many forces are already targeting the War Alliance."

"Now, our priority is stabilizing our rear."

The lingering spiritual energy around the Xuanyuan Creation Pool has yet to completely disperse, leaving a strange fragrance of the Ten Thousand Years Void Cyan Marrow and Nine Revolutions Soul Purifying Incense in the air.

Jiang Shu stood by the pool, his newly changed clothes struggling to conceal the still faintly aching muscles and bones beneath, and the curse hidden beneath his flesh, nor could they hide the heavy doubts in his eyes.

Deep within his divine soul, the remaining coldness was like a disease clinging to the bones, constantly reminding him of that near-catastrophic disaster deep within the ancient path.

He looked at Zhan Jiuxiao, whose aura was profound and brows furrowed with worry, after a moment’s thought, he decided to ask about the Doomsday Sect.

"Uncle Zhan, I’ve dealt with the Doomsday Sect several times, yet to this day I’m unable to clearly understand what kind of existence this Doomsday Sect truly is."

"Whether from various accidents in the Deep Space Sea, or the recent pollution of the Ancient Battle Soul Path, and the scourge of the Ancestral Land Spiritual Veins, these incidents seem coincidental, yet could be connected by an invisible thread likely stemming from the Doomsday Sect."

"I’ve asked many people, but they all, as Zhan Yun said, spoke ambiguously."

"I’ve also interacted with people from the Doomsday Sect, according to them, the Doomsday Sect believes that the cosmic space has been calm for too long, it’s about to decay, and the greatest purpose of the Doomsday Sect is to rejuvenate the cosmic space."

Jiang Shu not only interacted with Ming Wuya from the Doomsday Sect but earlier had contact with a black-robed figure who seemed to hold a high rank in the Doomsday Sect, yet only knew this figure had great ambition and power, but most of the other information was pieced together, with many parts even conflicting.

Even though Zhan Jiuxiao mentioned that the War Alliance didn’t have much regarding the Doomsday Sect, he, as the vice alliance hierarch of the War Alliance, which is among the most powerful forces in the cosmic space, knew far more than Jiang Shu did.

Zhan Jiuxiao stood with hands down, his deep gaze transcending the swirling spiritual energy, toward the depths of the forbidden land, as if tracing an eerie tableau buried by the dust of time.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke, his voice deep like a sigh from the abyss:

"The Doomsday Sect..."

"It’s a tumor born from the darkest corners of the river of time."
