Floating Immortal Order - Chapter 266: Alighting Moon Primordial Lord
Just as everyone thought Zhang Yuexi and the others were about to disappear completely, a violet Immortal light appeared above the teleportation array. Under the shroud of this violet light, the overpowering force of teleportation unbelievably came to a halt!
“Impossible!” The Third Elder lowered his head, looking at his body that had recondensed from its ethereal state. His face was colored with utter disbelief and despair.
Zhang Yuexi and the others were already completely dumbstruck, their minds momentarily losing the ability to think. As the protective shield of the ancient teleportation array dissipated, they were completely swallowed from all sides by the surrounding sea of burning red flames.
In just a few moments, the entire Flowing Water City was blanketed under the sea of fire unleashed by the Scarlet Moon technique, leaving no trace of sound.
“What spell was that violet light?” Spirit Master Lu murmured to himself as he watched the place where Zhang Yuexi and the others perished, clearly stunned and overwhelmed by the event.
The rest of the Dawndusk Alliance members were also speechless, their eyes filled with shock and fear as they looked at the figure in the snow-white Daoist robe.
Meanwhile, the Dawndusk Alliance members who had gone to other Zhang Clan cities had also hurried back. Seeing Flowing Water City transformed into a sea of fire below them, they were extremely shocked.
However, they dared not ask Xu Disheng directly and had to inquire among their acquaintances to gradually comprehend what had transpired in Flowing Water City.
“Respectfully reporting in, Supreme Spirit Master—the cleansing of Zhang Clan’s Anshou City is complete. All members of the Zhang Clan have been exterminated, and the resources from their secret vault have been thoroughly plundered, filling a total of 23 storage Spirit Tools.”
“Respectfully reporting in, Supreme Spirit Master—the cleansing of Zhang Clan’s Shuijiang City is complete. All members of the Zhang Clan have been exterminated, and the secret vault resources have been thoroughly plundered, filling 19 storage Spirit Tools.”
…
For these peak Divine Core stage cultivators, cleansing the remaining Zhang Clan cities that lacked both city-protecting formations and the presence of Divine Core stage cultivators was an effortless task.
Spirit Master Lu came back to his senses and glanced at the sea of fire below. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and declared, “Respectfully reporting in, Supreme Spirit Master—the cleansing of Zhang Clan’s Flowing Water City is complete. All members of the Zhang Clan have been exterminated, but no resource or spiritual items were found.”
Hearing this, a peak Divine Core stage Spirit Master named Zhao Feibai laughed out loud and said, “Spirit Master Lu, you must be joking. Flowing Water City is the main residence of the Zhang Clan, and you found no resources or spiritual items?”
Spirit Master Lu gave him a glance but did not respond.
Instead, it was Qin Ming who pointed towards the slowly extinguishing sea of red flames below, “Spirit Master Zhao, why don’t you go down there and look for yourself?”
“Since the cleansing is complete, let us proceed to the next medium-sized power.”
A calm voice descended from atop the celestial turtle. The few peak Divine Core stage Spirit Masters immediately closed their mouths. They flew back onto the celestial turtle along with the other Divine Core stage Spirit Masters and Dao Foundation stage cultivators, where they took their positions beside Xu Disheng’s palanquin.
“Supreme Spirit Master, here are the resources and spiritual items from the secret vault of Anshou City.” Sun Yangping presented a pile of various storage Spirit Tools, respectfully offering them up to him.
The others followed suit, wanting to present their plundered materials and resources, but were interrupted by Xu Disheng.
“Keep a portion for yourselves and distribute the rest among the ordinary Divine Core stage and Dao Foundation stage cultivators. There’s no need to turn them in to me.”
For Xu Disheng, the accumulated wealth of a medium-sized family like the Zhang Clan was insignificant. The resources he owned in the Profound Depth Spiritual World alone made him countless times richer than the Zhang Clan.
To Xu Disheng at this moment, these Spirit Tools and ordinary Magic Treasures were nothing more than junk, occupying storage space without any practical use.
The others rejoiced upon hearing this. They were not particularly wealthy Spirit Masters, so these resources, though meager to Xu Disheng, represented a considerable income for them.
Only one peak Divine Core stage Spirit Master, Yan Jin, hesitated for a moment before taking out a parasol Psychic Magic Treasure. “This Psychic Magic Treasure is one of the few possessed by the Zhang Clan. I dare not keep it for myself and now I present it to Supreme Spirit Master.”
Xu Disheng glanced at the small parasol and casually accepted it. “Fine,” he said with a slight nod.
Psychic Magic Treasures were indeed precious, and even to him, they were of some use.
However, at his current realm, and especially after breaking into the Primordial Spirit stage, the power of cultivation methods and spells far surpassed that of Magic Treasures. Unless one possessed an extremely rare Profound Treasure, most combat relied on cultivation methods and spells, while Magic Treasures served merely as support.
Over the years, the Zhang Clan had accumulated several Psychic Magic Treasures. Previously, the Grand Elder, Zhang Yuexi and such members of the clan had carried them, but with the complete destruction of Flowing Water City, the Zhang Clan’s main residence, these treasures likely shattered along with the tearing of space that caused the collapse of the teleportation array.
As the innate violet qi of the Immortal Race within his soul gradually awakened, Xu Disheng fully understood its origin. A repertoire of extraordinary Immortal Techniques had already begun to appear in his mind. However, with his peak Divine Core stage cultivation base, he could only execute a few very basic Immortal Techniques.
Each use of an Immortal Technique required the consumption of Immortal Force. Although the innate violet qi in him could slowly regenerate Immortal Force, the Heaven and Earth Overturned Immortal Technique, which could temporarily freeze space, had exhausted a few years worth of accumulated Immortal Force. Therefore, for at least a little while, Xu Disheng would not have enough Immortal Force to execute any basic Immortal Techniques.
The celestial turtle moved swiftly through the clouds, its four feet generating windforce. Despite its enormous size, it was incredibly agile.
“Are you Supreme Spirit Master from the Dawndusk Alliance’s Administration Hall?”
A gentle female voice reached everyone’s ears. The celestial turtle slowly halted, growling softly towards a robed woman standing calmly in the clouds ahead.
This woman was a Primordial Spirit stage cultivator!
Spirit Master Lu, along with several Divine Core stage Spirit Masters, flew out from the celestial turtle and carefully observed the robed woman. He said in a serious voice, “Indeed, Supreme Spirit Master is aboard this celestial turtle. May I ask what brings you here, Primordial Lord?”
Although the group looked serious, they were not afraid of the woman attacking suddenly, as they were near the Dawndusk Daoist Sect. In the past few days, nearly all nearby powers had been integrated by the Dawndusk Alliance. Even the large powers and overlord sects in the region were dealt with by the cultivators from the Primordial Spirit stage Administration Hall and the eight peak-level forces. No matter who this Primordial Spirit stage cultivator was, she had no reason to specifically approach them to cause trouble.
“Inform him that this is a betrothal gift from Qi Yue of the Yin-Yang Daoist Sect. You can just hand it over to him.”
The robed woman, seeing the white-robed Daoist looking over from the celestial turtle’s palanquin, chuckled softly. She then took a step back, retrieved an item from her sleeve, tossed it down, and left the area in a flash of light.
“Qi Yue of the Yin-Yang Daoist Sect?!”
“It’s her! But this talk of a betrothal gift…”
Spirit Master Lu and the others were speechless, their faces unable to hide their astonishment.
Meanwhile, in the Profound Depth Spiritual World…
“After one quick meeting with Yin Tide Greater Lord of the Yin-Yang Daoist Sect, you sold him out like that? He was able to obtain the Profound Edict Spirit Lightning from the divine statue of our Spirit Race’s Divine Lord Spirit Submersion. I had my eye on him, you know.”
“No, I naturally have a plan in mind. The Yin-Yang Daoist Sect likes to consume the lifespan of others. Thousands of years ago, they audaciously targeted our Spirit Race, causing us to lose one of our clansmen who had the potential to reach the Divine Sea stage. Now, with the chaos in the Central Region, it’s time for our Spirit Race to fully emerge. And the first obstacle is the Yin-Yang Daoist Sect. This time, I intend to make them suffer a great tumble and make them cough up everything they’ve taken, with interest!”
