Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

276: Chapter 276 If Immortal Venerable Chenyue doesn’t stop, the Buddhist sect might lose several Buddhas!Nash Long Da slew the Demon Emperor Sacred Heavenly Lord Jin Yu and, styling himself as the Lord of the Heavenly Court, aggressively took over the Demon Court’s thirty-six Immortal Domains. The news spread throughout the Immortal Realm, shocking all parties.

However, the Immortal Realm is vast and its factions complex; how could everyone remain silent?

In the east, within a palace deep inside the Immortal Court, three figures sat facing each other.

The Cang Emperor personally poured a cup of spiritual tea and said, ”Brother Lingyangzi, do you know the background of that Lord of the Heavenly Court, Nash Long Da?”

Lingyangzi set down his teacup and glanced at the Cang Emperor. ”If even you don’t know, how would I?”

The Cang Emperor was taken aback, then gave a bitter smile.

Emperor Haotian joined the conversation from the side, saying, ”To my shame, I once secretly attempted to deduce this person’s origins, but I could find nothing at all.”

”But while I couldn’t deduce Nash Long Da’s background, I did manage to trace the roots of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals under his command.”

The Cang Emperor asked hurriedly, ”And?”

Emperor Haotian frowned. ”They are all frustrated Loose Cultivators from the Immortal Realm. Some offended Sects, some had their Dao arenas seized, and some ran into trouble with their cultivation and had nowhere to turn for help. In short, they were all desperate people who were gathered by that Heavenly Court.”

The Cang Emperor was stunned. ”That’s it?”

”That’s it,” Emperor Haotian nodded.

”The highest cultivation among his subordinates is only at the Golden Immortal level; there isn’t even a single Immortal King.”

”Yet it is precisely such a motley crew that is now following Nash Long Da to take over the Demon Court’s thirty-six Immortal Domains, busier than ever.”

Hearing this, Lingyangzi chuckled. ”This person certainly knows how to use people. Frustrated Loose Cultivators lack nothing more than a backer. Give them one, and they’ll sell their lives to you.”

The Cang Emperor and Emperor Haotian exchanged a look, both finding truth in those words.

After a few more words of idle chatter about the Heavenly Court, the topic gradually shifted elsewhere.

Lingyangzi was the first to speak: ”Have you noticed that something is not quite right with this Heaven and Earth Boundless Great Tribulation?”

The Cang Emperor’s expression turned solemn. ”What do you mean, Brother?”

Lingyangzi held up three fingers. ”The Heaven and Earth Boundless Great Tribulation has gone through several kalpas from ancient times to the present.”

”Having experienced them personally, I have some insight into the direction of these tribulations.”

”But this time, only a few hundred years since it began, an existence at the Immortal Emperor level has already fallen.”

”This is something that has never happened in any previous kalpa.”

The Cang Emperor nodded slowly, his face growing increasingly grave.

Emperor Haotian also said, ”I also feel that something is wrong.”

”At the start of a kalpa, tribulation qi usually builds up gradually. The various factions engage in minor skirmishes, and Golden Immortals and Immortal Kings die, slowly accumulating the toll.”

”Only when the tribulation qi reaches a certain density does it affect Immortal Emperors. But this time...”

The Cang Emperor took over, ”But this time, the tribulation qi has just arisen, and an Immortal Emperor has already fallen. And it was an established Immortal Emperor like the Demon Emperor Sacred Heavenly Lord Jin Yu.”

”The strangest part is that although Jin Yu was obstinate and self-opinionated, he was no fool.”

”He knew that drawing Solar True Fire to burn the Immortal Realm would incite public outrage, so why did he insist on doing it?”

”Even if tribulation qi entered his body, he shouldn’t have been so unwise.”

Emperor Haotian frowned in thought and said slowly, ”Your words remind me of something.”

”If Jin Yu had only fought the two of us, even if he lost, he wouldn’t have lost his life.”

”But he insisted on drawing the Solar True Fire, which gave the Lord of the Heavenly Court a legitimate reason to kill him.”

Lingyangzi said, ”Indeed. Without the incident of drawing the Solar True Fire, if Nash Long Da had rashly acted to kill the Demon Emperor, someone from the Immortal Realm’s various factions might have stepped in to help Jin Yu.”
