Chapter 907: Spirit Summoning
"Arrogant."
"You really think you’re the supreme immortal of the mortal world? Truly invincible under heaven?"
"The cultivators of the entire world are gathered here, and you still dare to be so brazen?"
Rebukes rang out from all around. Sixteen figures stood up one after another and stepped into the center of the arena. Each one emanated the powerful energy fluctuations of the Transcendence Realm.
They were people of exalted status, and it had been far too long since anyone had dared to speak to them in such a tone. It was like slapping an emperor across the face. No matter how refined his character, the insult would inevitably ignite fury.
Sixteen great immortal sects. Sixteen grandmasters. Sixteen towering peaks of power. The disciples of the various sects erupted with excitement. When had there ever been a moment in history where these sixteen leaders of the immortal world stood unified in the same place? It was a scene destined to be remembered.
One had to understand that harmony was rarely genuine even among the immortal sects. Though open warfare between the sects had not occurred for many years, their proxy battles had never ceased. The wars between mortal empires often reflected the hidden wills of the immortal sects behind them.
Disciples of the immortal sects would even sometimes take part in these seemingly mundane wars. Grudges and feuds had lasted thousands of years. Many sects had long since become bitter enemies beyond reconciliation.
Yet now, when faced with a demonic threat from the mortal world, and the menace of Evil Gods from beyond the heavens, had they truly set aside their differences to unite?
Some of the younger disciples felt their blood surge with passion.
Is this not proof that the immortal world can indeed stand as one? There is hope for the Way of Immortality.
Perhaps, after this event, the fractured sects could once again come together and forge a golden age of prosperity that would last for generations.
