The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 1025: Should We Push Through All the Way?

Chapter 1025: Should We Push Through All the Way?

Ahead of Su Jingzhen and his group, a towering stone pagoda stood partially hidden among the mountain peaks.

Shrouded in mist, it exuded an air of mystery.

From that direction, Su Jingzhen and the others could clearly sense numerous powerful energy fluctuations.

Everyone in the Divine Dan Sect was filled with excitement.

For Lin Xiu, Liu Chuan, and the others, they had never imagined that they would make it this far in the Divine Shepherd Realm event.

Initially, they had only hoped to scavenge some leftovers from the outskirts of the Divine Shepherd Sect.

They hadn't even dreamed of entering the elemental secret realms, let alone standing in front of the treasure vault.

This was the treasure vault of the Divine Shepherd Sect, a sect on par with the Divine Dan Sect.

Even as core disciples of the Divine Dan Sect, they had only entered their own sect's treasure vault a handful of times.

As the Divine Dan Sect members were buzzing with excitement, Huo Huang quietly positioned herself behind Su Jingzhen.

"From now on, you'll mostly encounter forces from the Emperor's Realm. No matter which faction decides to attack you, I won't be able to help you.

I can only tell you that the person you're looking for from the Sword Land is in the treasure vault.

Whether you can find them or even enter the vault will depend entirely on your Divine Dan Sect's capabilities."

Earlier, Huo Huang had been quite willing to help Su Jingzhen.

But after realizing that Su Jingzhen might genuinely have the ability to counter the Emperor Realm, she no longer wanted to position herself against the Emperor Realm.

At most, she would help Su Jingzhen if he found himself in dire straits.

In her view, the best outcome for this Divine Shepherd Realm event would be for the Emperor Realm to emerge victorious, suppressing the cultivation world's factions while ensuring that Su Jingzhen didn't lose too much face.

Su Jingzhen then turned his gaze to the many Divine Dan Sect disciples behind him.

"I'm sure you all heard what Miss Huo Huang just said.

This journey to the treasure vault will undoubtedly be fraught with danger. Even with the help of the Chaos Celestial Serpent, I can't guarantee the safety of each and every one of you.

As before, any senior brother or sister who prefers not to continue can stay here. Finding a quiet place to cultivate is also a good option.

But if you decide to follow me, be prepared to take life-threatening risks."

Su Jingzhen's tone was calm as he spoke.

He respected everyone's individual choices, and as their leader, he didn't want to force decisions on anyone.

In his view, each person's life was their own, and only they could truly decide their own fate.

Upon hearing his words, many in the group began to hesitate.

Of course, they wanted to follow Su Jingzhen into the treasure vault to look for treasures.

But they were also aware of their own limitations.

This time, they knew that they would be facing forces from the Emperor's Realm.

Having already encountered Fire God Mountain and the Great Zhou Immortal Sect, they understood that every Emperor Realm faction was a cut above the cultivation world's forces.

Even their most basic disciples were at the level of Spirit Immortals, while their leaders were at the level of Mystic Immortals.

Yet, many in the Divine Dan Sect were still at the Great Perfection Realm.

After a few moments of contemplation, some of them smiled wryly at Su Jingzhen.

"Junior brother Su, I won't hold you back this time. I'll find a place to cultivate here. Don't forget to call me when you return."

"I won't join you either. I'll just be a burden."

About twenty people expressed their decision to stay.

Their tones were full of regret.

Among those who stayed, all of them had reached the Spirit Immortal Realm.

Despite his low cultivation level, Shangguan Tiantong naturally chose to follow.

"Very well, senior brothers and sisters, please wait here. The rest of you, follow me to the treasure vault."

The group was now reduced by almost half, but the overall quality had greatly improved. With about thirty people remaining, they made their way to the treasure vault in the distance.

"This guy really intends to clash head-on with the Emperor Realm factions,"

Huo Huang murmured, her expression growing serious as she watched Su Jingzhen and his group march forward with unwavering determination.

Still, she followed silently.

No matter what, she needed to find an opportunity to obtain the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame from Su Jingzhen-or at least the chance to be purified by it.

As Huo Huang deliberately hid herself within the group, they hadn't traveled far before they encountered their first obstacle.

"Cultivation world? You're from the Divine Dan Sect? This is no place for you. Turn back."

A group of about a dozen people stood in Su Jingzhen's path.

They were dressed in black robes, and their auras were dark and oppressive.

Their faces were filled with arrogance.

As soon as they spoke, their cultivation levels were revealed-each of them was at least at the Spirit Immortal level, with half of them at the mid-stage Spirit Immortal level or higher.

Even though their numbers were small, their strength was far greater than that of many cultivation world factions.

"Junior Brother Su, judging by their insignia, they're from the Nethergod Sect of the Emperor Realm.

They're considered a first-rate faction in the Emperor Realm, but they're still a notch below the Great Zhou Immortal Sect and Fire God Mountain," Shangguan Tiantong whispered to Su Jingzhen.

Su Jingzhen raised his eyebrows. "Even weaker than the Great Zhou Immortal Sect? Where do they get the confidence to block our path?"

With a light chuckle, Su Jingzhen looked at the members of the Nethergod Sect, a hint of disdain curling his lips.

"That's right, we're from the Divine Dan Sect. If you know what's good for you, step aside. Otherwise, this will be your grave."

Su Jingzhen's tone was fierce, his arrogance startling even his own companions.

They had never seen him act so brazenly.

Only Huo Huang, who was standing at the back, furrowed her brow. She had a vague idea of what Su Jingzhen was planning.

"Is he planning to fight his way through? But even with his True Immortal-level contracted beast, that might not be enough.

And even if he succeeds, it would only earn him the enmity of most of the Emperor Realm factions, with no real benefit."

Huo Huang muttered to herself, her heart torn apart.

She was considering whether to step forward and stop the members of the Nethergod Sect.

She knew that these dozen or so disciples were no match for Su Jingzhen.

If she stayed silent, they would undoubtedly meet their end here.

But allowing Su Jingzhen to bulldoze his way through wasn't her intention either.

As she struggled internally, the Nethergod Sect disciples, enraged by Su Jingzhen's words, wasted no time.

Their auras surged as they formed a simple joint attack formation.

The leader's power skyrocketed, absorbing the strength of the others and reaching the level of a late-stage Mystic Immortal.

For a group of mid-level Spirit Immortals, this was an impressive feat.

Once the formation was complete, the Nethergod Sect disciples launched a dark, menacing palm strike toward Su Jingzhen's group.

The attack was filled with killing intent.

Seeing this, Huo Huang could only sigh softly.

"Ah..."

Even if she stepped forward now, it might already be too late to change the outcome.
