Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 1069 - 1079: Presumptuous

"In this catastrophe of mankind, the powerful figures of Sword Immortal City do not take action, and there are reasons for their inaction. The Qiankun Immortal Emperor's Tomb has existed for countless years, and those who venture into the Immortal Tomb are countless. The fallen are equally innumerable. However, if someone truly can obtain the Qiankun Immortal Emperor's legacy, perhaps they really could turn the tides and save all of humanity."

The dignified elder sitting at the prominent seat was none other than the close confidant of the Sword Immortal City Lord, Chief Clerk Feihong.

This man's cultivation was unfathomable, and his status exceedingly high.

Only someone of his caliber could preside over affairs in front of so many strong figures from various sides.

Listening to what he meant, there seemed to be unknown reasons preventing the experts of Sword Immortal City from taking action. What are these reasons? Chu Feng, being of low status and light voice, was still not qualified to know.

Chu Feng scanned around and discovered that, besides Chief Clerk Feihong, Ye Yanying of the Ye Family was also present. This person was not only a strong figure in the Earth Immortal Realm but also a Supreme Alchemy Master.

In the Ye Family, his status was also extremely high, wielding considerable influence.

He was almost equal in status to Chief Clerk Feihong.

Beside Ye Yanying sat a middle-aged man with a suave and graceful air. He appeared very young, barely under forty. At first glance, Chu Feng found him somewhat familiar.

He couldn't recall where he'd seen this person before.

To sit equally with figures like Ye Yanying and Chief Clerk Feihong, he must be an impressive figure in Sword Immortal City. Look at Vice Sect Leader Luo Sheng of the Pure Yang Immortal Sect, whose status was clearly inferior to theirs.

He could only sit in the second row.

"Speaking of the exploration of the Qiankun Sword Emperor's Immortal Tomb, the person with the most authority to speak is probably Fellow Taoist Qin Jian." Chief Clerk Feihong turned to the middle-aged man beside him. "Let Fellow Taoist Qin Jian explain the plan!"

Chu Feng was greatly shocked, realizing the middle-aged man was actually Scholar Qin Jian.

Compared to when he last appeared before everyone with an old, hunch-backed, and pus-covered look, he was simply a different person.

Such a drastic change.

It seemed Scholar Qin Jian's witchcraft curse had been lifted. His strength was likely fully restored.

Chu Feng was very excited, needing to find a chance to ask Scholar Qin Jian how he removed the witchcraft curse. The resentful curse that Chu Feng was afflicted with bore great similarity to the witchcraft curse.

"I have nothing much to say, just one sentence: if you want to enter the Immortal Tomb in search of treasures, you must be prepared to die. It's still not too late to quit now." Scholar Qin Jian carried a long zither on his back.

A sword hung at his waist.

He appeared rather elegant, with an outstanding temperament.

His words were very blunt, causing many experts present to change their expressions. Some even paled in fright.

"You might think I'm exaggerating. Let me tell you, just half a year ago, I had only half a life left because of the witchcraft curse from the Immortal Tomb. Many people saw how I looked more like a ghost than a man back then."

Scholar Qin Jian swept his expressionless gaze over everyone.

"Last time, eleven Earth Immortal Realm strong figures went in together, but we only managed to reach the Netherworld Road and Wangchuan River within the Emperor's Tomb. We couldn't even cross Naihe Bridge."

The experts present were in uproar.

Unable to contain themselves, they gasped sharply.

The Emperor's Tomb was terrifying, with a total of eleven Earth Immortal Realm strong figures, even figures as powerful as Scholar Qin Jian had gone. Yet they only explored the outskirts of the Emperor's Tomb.

It's known that Scholar Qin Jian, even within Sword Immortal City, was a renowned powerful figure. He certainly possessed cultivation in the Upper Earth Immortal Realm.

If even he couldn't make it through and nearly lost his life, those Lower Earth Immortal Realm figures present, even of Supreme Sword God Level, would be going to their deaths.

Chu Feng had long set his heart on entering the Emperor's Tomb—he was not deterred by Scholar Qin Jian's words.

On the contrary, he deduced some of the circumstances within the Emperor's Tomb from the information Scholar Qin Jian revealed.

Netherworld Road, Wangchuan River, Naihe Bridge, weren't these all found in the underworld?

Could it be that the Emperor's Tomb was built like the underworld?

It was indeed interesting.

Moreover, outside the Emperor's Tomb, there were countless evil spirits. Chu Feng seriously suspected whether the Qiankun Sword Emperor's Immortal Tomb was truly the legendary underworld?

"The Emperor's Tomb is extremely difficult to breach! Though the demons invading the Divine Martial Continent are formidable, the truly powerful ones amount to just the Three Great Demon Kings and Five Great Demon Kings. Sword Immortal City has quite a few Earth Immortal Realm Perfection experts; any one of them could strike down these demons' leaders. As for the rest, we leave them to the experts from the Ancient Four Real, Eight Great Sects, and Four Great Heavenly Kingdoms to handle."

"Why can't the experts from Sword Immortal City take action? Don't forget, you were once on the Divine Martial Continent as ordinary humans, climbing up step by step through cultivation."

Speaking was a very beautiful young female sword cultivator.

This woman was also an acquaintance of Chu Feng.

Lady Xiong of the Xiong Family, Xiong Guansui. She was one of the Eight True Inheritors of the Extreme Cold Cave.

They hadn't seen each other for years, and she not only had become more beautiful but also experienced a leap in her strength.

She was also the only woman Chu Feng had met who possessed the Nine Yin Sword Vein.

It seemed that the Nine Yang Sword Vein and Nine Yin Sword Vein, called Supreme Sword Veins by the sword cultivators, were not spoken of casually but had real benefits.

People with these two sword meridians cultivated unbelievably fast, far surpassing ordinary sword cultivators.

Moreover, the later stages increasingly showed the extraordinary advantages of Supreme Sword Veins.

She must have followed some sect elders to train and seek fortune this time.

The several middle-aged women sitting beside her were incredibly imposing, with their cultivation undoubtedly significant.

On Divine Martial Continent, Extreme Cold Cave's overall strength ranked second, only after the Pure Yang Immortal Sect.

It's said its battle power is no weaker than the Pure Yang Immortal Sect.

Yet Extreme Cold Cave accepts only female disciples, and they must have Yin Attribute Sword Meridians, mainly recruiting disciples with Seven-star Sword Meridians and Nine Yin Sword Veins. Hence, the number of Extreme Cold Cave's disciples is extremely small.

This should be the main reason for its ranking being below the Pure Yang Immortal Sect.

"Presumptuous!"

Chief Clerk Feihong's face sank, and an awe-inspiring pressure like the collapse of heaven and earth crushed toward Xiong Guansui.

The few Extreme Cold Cave elders beside her instantly turned pale.

They all regarded Chief Clerk Feihong with extreme fear.

"Please calm your anger, Chief Clerk Feihong. We will strictly constrain the disciples of Extreme Cold Cave in the future. Please forgive her this time." The speaker was a middle-aged woman with a stern countenance, likely the leader of Extreme Cold Cave.

Whether she was the Cave Master wasn't clear to Chu Feng.

Xiong Guansui stubbornly glared at Chief Clerk Feihong, showing no sign of admitting her mistake.

"If you've made a mistake, you must be punished. Showing disrespect to Chief Clerk Feihong and the seniors of Sword Immortal City cannot be lightly forgiven." Vice Sect Master Luo Sheng said sinisterly.
