Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Chapter 1728: Chapter 1725: Heavenly Pride Gathering

Zhao Wuyou suppressed his anger and said lightly with a faint smile, "So the Holy Daughter of Qianxue Hall has also arrived!"

Although there had been many clashes, maintaining outward decorum was still necessary.

Li Mengjiao nodded slightly, as a gesture of courtesy.

"So the Heavenly Pride Young Master Wuyou of the Zhao Family and the Holy Daughter of Qianxue Hall have arrived, what a pleasure to meet you both!"

Just when Li Mengjiao and Zhao Wuyou were exchanging pleasantries, a very sharp voice sounded abruptly.

Everyone turned to look upon hearing the voice.

The newcomer was Zhuge Qingyun, the Chief Heavenly Pride of Liuyun Sect!

Soon after Zhuge Qingyun’s arrival, two more strong presences approached.

One was a monk in a golden kasaya, with a fair face emitting a sacred aura.

The other was dressed in black robes, surrounded by a soul-stirring, bone-corroding black mist.

"This is Master Jingkong, the renowned monk of Fantian Temple, and Mo Zhan, the Chief Heavenly Pride of the Heavenly Demon Sect!"

"These are the prestigious Heavenly Prowess of both Buddhist and demonic paths; it’s astonishing to see them here together!"

"Looks like there’s going to be quite a show!"

...

Upon seeing Master Jingkong arriving, Li Mengjiao, Snow Princess, and Zhuge Qingyun stepped forward to greet him.

Master Jingkong put his palms together and sincerely replied.

"Amitabha Buddha, greetings to fellow Taoists, this poor monk offers his respects!"

Mo Zhan, seeing himself ignored by these so-called righteous people, immediately showed a look of indignation.

He stared directly at Snow Princess and asked coldly, "Snow Princess, my disciple Mo Yu went with you to the Wuyu below. Why have you returned, and he remains missing?"

Snow Princess replied with a cold arrogance, "What does it matter to me if your Heavenly Demon Sect members live or die?"

Upon hearing the exchange between Mo Zhan and Snow Princess, Li Chen immediately envisioned the figure of Young Master Mo in his mind.

It seemed that Mo Yu was indeed Young Master Mo’s real name.

Being rebuffed by Snow Princess, Mo Zhan felt his rage rising.

Seeing this, a female cultivator with a black rose on her forehead quickly pulled his arm.

"Senior Brother Mo Zhan, the ancient ruins are important!"

The one reminding Mo Zhan was named Mo Qing.

Within the Heavenly Demon Sect, among the new generation of disciples, male cultivators had Mo Zhan as their leader.

While female cultivators were led by Mo Qing.

The two were also a Taoist couple, known as the Twin Barriers of Heavenly Demon, enjoying a renowned reputation in the Heavenly Domain.

Li Chen’s gaze swept over these people one by one.

Mo Zhan, Mo Qing, Zhuge Qingyun, Li Mengjiao, Master Jingkong, and Zhao Wuyou were all at the Half-step Tribulation Realm.

They were all just one step away from truly crossing into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

All they needed was an opportunity to break through the Life and Death Shackles and ascend to immortality.

Their purpose for venturing here was evident.

To search for opportunities in these ancient ruins that could lead to their breakthroughs!

Li Chen’s cultivation had reached the Late Stage of Mahayana.

In a one-on-one match, none of these proud Heavenly heroes present could match him.

However, taking on the entire group could pose some difficulty.

Fortunately, these individuals came from different factions and were not united, allowing him to operate in the shadows opportunistically.

As Li Chen began calculating his plan internally, a thunderous sound echoed.

The doors of the palace opened.

With the opening of the palace doors, all eyes instantly turned towards them.

Zhao Wuyou took the lead and rushed in first.

Mo Zhan, Mo Qing, Zhuge Qingyun, and others were not far behind, following in succession.

Snow Princess and Yans Ziyi exchanged looks with Li Mengjiao and said, "Senior Sister Mengjiao, shall we go in too?"

Li Mengjiao nodded and solemnly cautioned, "Inside is dangerous, everyone must be careful!"

After receiving Snow Princess’s response, they proceeded with Li Mengjiao into the grand hall.

As they passed by Li Chen, the Snow Princess suddenly turned back to glance at him, her calm eyes showing a flash of complex emotion.

Li Mengjiao keenly caught the change in Snow Princess’s expression and asked in a low voice, "Junior Sister Snow Princess, is there something strange about that person?"

Upon hearing Li Mengjiao’s words, Snow Princess snapped back to reality, shook her head, and said, "It’s nothing, I might be overthinking!"

Hearing Snow Princess’s reply, Li Mengjiao was slightly surprised.

Based on her understanding of Snow Princess, she surely had some secret unshared with her.

However, since Snow Princess didn’t reveal it, she couldn’t press further.

Upon entering the hall, she again glanced over at Li Chen, imprinting his appearance in her memory.

When Snow Princess’s gaze fell upon him, Li Chen’s expression slightly stiffened.

He had altered his appearance and completely concealed his aura, leaving no trace of his former self.

Given Snow Princess’s cultivation, she should not be able to see through it.

Yet, unexpectedly, she noticed something amiss.

Nonetheless, Li Chen wasn’t overly concerned.

Whether Snow Princess knew his real identity was inconsequential.

Thinking this, Li Chen immediately pulled out the previously beaten Thousand Shadows Blood Charm and asked, "Thousand Shadows Blood Charm, do you know what palace this is?"

Now tamed by Li Chen, the Thousand Shadows Blood Charm obediently answered his questions without reservation.

"This is Alcohol Sword Immortal Li Mubai’s Sword Tomb!"

Upon hearing the Thousand Shadows Blood Charm’s words, Li Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

"Alcohol Sword Immortal, Li Mubai?"

The Thousand Shadows Blood Charm nodded, explaining, "Yes, about three hundred thousand years ago, this Plane was overrun by demons and ghosts, with the Human Clan as weak as ants. Then Li Mubai arrived, calling himself Alcohol Sword Immortal. With a single sword, he slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Great Demons, suppressed millions of spirits, and even defeated the Great Powers of the Dragon Clan and Beast Spirit Clan!"

"Thanks to Alcohol Sword Immortal Li Mubai, the Human Clan living in the interstice gained a respite and gradually thrived."

"After Alcohol Sword Immortal passed away, his residence became the Sword Tomb you see here. Ten thousand years ago, upon learning about the passing of Alcohol Sword Immortal Li Mubai, the Dragon Clan and Beast Spirit Clan mobilized aggressively, leading to this Sword Tomb palace submerging into the sea, completely vanishing. It has only been recently reopened!"

The account from the Thousand Shadows Blood Charm was somewhat different from what he previously heard from Yans Ziyi and Liuu Kewei.

However, the basic facts remained largely consistent.

After a brief contemplation, Li Chen asked again, "The news of Alcohol Sword Immortal Li Mubai’s Sword Tomb palace reappearing must have reached the Dragon Clan and Beast Spirit Clan by now, correct?"
