Chapter 516: Void Divine Lotus
The birth of a new immortal emperor did not create any ripples. In fact, if Ding Mian hadn’t been secretly paying attention to the battle, he would not have noticed anything amiss, just like everyone else.
When an immortal monarch entered the Extremity Immortal Realm, there would be no accompanying phenomena. This was the same for immortal emperors entering the Origin Immortal Realm. Once a true immortal mastered a complete law and transformed their body, they would no longer be connected to heaven and earth. In a sense, the Dao Manifestation was the last gift of the Heavenly Dao to cultivators.
That immortal monarch was Ye Chen.
Although Ye Chen broke through in the midst of battle, he did not immediately reveal himself as an immortal emperor. Instead, he hid his power and pretended to struggle against his opponents, three immortal monarchs. On the surface, he only managed to escape after paying a high price.
Ye Chen retreated from the battlefield and returned to the Numinous Sword Sect to recuperate. Of course, that was a lie. Ding Mian hypothesized that his real reason was to consolidate his cultivation base and firmly step into the Extremity Immortal Realm. Only then would he reveal himself and deal a crucial blow to the two alliances.
Ding Mian frowned. ‘I should have taken action against Ye Chen before he broke through. Now, it’ll be more difficult to kill him and take the Kunlun Sword.’
Still, he didn’t regret his cautious approach. As someone who inherited the legacy of the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasures, he would never underestimate the Numinous Sword Sect. Who knew if the Numinous Sword Sect had a method to contact their counterparts in the prime timeline? If they did, everything he got in this timeline would be practically useless.
‘Since I can’t take action personally, I can only tip off the two alliances, but I can’t make it too deliberate. I’ll have to think of some method to guide one of the three monarchs that fought with Ye Chen. Tsk. This isn’t my forte. I’ll have to be careful not to be exposed,’ Ding Mian thought.
It was a world with no day or night. A black mist permanently covered the sky, and only occasionally would light peek through. This was the Void Immortal Grotto of the Void Ripple Sect, their headquarters. Although the Void Ripple Sect controlled a large island like the other first-rate forces, they did not make the island their headquarters. Instead, it was this immortal grotto concealed in space.
