Artifact Sect, more than twenty high-ranking members gathered, their gazes intently fixed on the sky above the sea of flames.
From behind, more than ten Loose Immortals arrived in succession, “Sect Master, who has forged an immortal Artifact? This impossible feat has actually happened?’
Zhuo Bu’er, the Sect Master of Artifact Sect and at the mid-stage of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, his aura surged as he turned and clasped his fists, “Supreme Elders, it’s not clear yet, let’s wait and see! ”
“Not clear? Forging an Immortal Artifact requires at least an eighth-level or possibly ninth-level Artifact Refiner. We don’t have many of those in our Artifact Sect, can’t you use the process of elimination?” one of the Loose Immortals looked at Zhuo Bu’er as if he were an idiot.
Zhuo Bu’er frowned, “Watch your language. Am I the Sect Master, or are you the Sect Master? Don’t forget, you’re already retired with no official duties.”
That Loose Immortal’s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in them, “1 may be your Senior Uncle, but even if 1 scold you or hit you, you have to obediently…”
“Enough! Arguing as soon as you meet, what a spectacle!” Another Loose Immortal spoke up, his authority as someone who had survived ten tribulations swept over them, making everyone too intimidated to even breathe loudly.
Seeing that he had quelled the scene, this ten tribulations Loose Immortal said, “Sect Master, Old Li’s right, use the process of elimination to find out who forged the Immortal Artifact!”
“Exactly, such a simple method you cannot even use, what are you doing as the Sect Master!” Old Li muttered under his breath.
Zhuo Bu’er spoke coldly, “Our sect has nine eighth-level Artifact Refiners. Two are here, and the other seven have left to prepare for the Great Sect Assembly. Who knows who came back? Who knows who has become ninth-level?”
“Under these circumstances, you want your Sect Master to use the process of elimination? Go ahead! You do it!”
The Loose Immortals looked astonished—they really couldn’t find a way to process the elimination.
Old Li, roared at by Zhuo Bu’er, was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, but he couldn’t find a way to refute it.
I’he ten tribulations Loose Immortal cleared his throat, “Stay calm. Our sect having someone who forged an Immortal Artifact is a good thing. What are you arguing about?”
“This damn thing isn’t a good thing!” Zhuo Bu’er and Old Li shouted in unison.
As they shouted, they realized something was off after all, the one being shouted at was a Tribulation Loose Immortal!
Zhuo Bu’er quickly added, “With such an extraordinary event, surely all the major sects have been alerted, and the news will soon spread throughout the Southern Domain. When that time comes, I’m afraid countless powerhouses will come to press us for answers!”
“That’s right, being the target of everyone’s arrows is not a good thing! ” Old Li agreed with Zhuo Bu’er for once.
The ten tribulations Loose Immortal frowned, “Press us for answers? More likely they’ll be coming to congratulate us. You’re thinking too much!”
As one of rhe top ten sects, ranked fifth, who would dare cause trouble?
Zhuo Bu’er really wanted to discuss this in depth with him, but the pressing matter was to keep a close eye on the person within the sea of flames, and once the baptism was over, they had to hide him immediately!
Zhuo Bu’er was very clear that, at this moment, there must already be many forces rushing over. After their arrival, they will surely seek rhe master who forged the Immortal Artifact and before these people could be reassured, the master must not show his face.
Otherwise, with so many forces’ powerhouses converging, if anyone causes trouble amidst them, it could very likely lead to a chaotic situation where factions vie for the master or even attempt to kill him.
In short, the scene must first be stabilized!
Li Cheng, though fully focused on running his cultivation technique, kept his Spiritual Sense attentive to his surroundings and naturally overheard the high-level dialogue of the Artifact Sect, clicking his tongue in disbelief.
The people of the Artifact Sect sure are hot-tempered!
The Heavenly Mechanism Sect is better, although its overall strength is temporarily inferior to the other nine major sects, its high-level members are in harmony!
With the Three-color forging sky fire and the heavenly signs blocking, Li Cheng didn’t have to worry about being discovered by the Artifact Sect for the time being, but once the heavenly signs dissipated, he would have to think of a way to hide.
Otherwise, if the Artifact Sect found out that the one who forged the Immortal Artifact wasn’t their own, all his prior efforts would be wasted.
Soon, the heavenly signs began to fade, and Li Cheng, with a wave of his hand, recalled the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod and appeared ten thousand miles away with a single step.
Under his Spiritual Sense, Li Cheng saw that those high-ranking officials and Loose Immortals of rhe Artifact Sect rushed into the sea of flames immediately, only to freeze on the spot!
“Where is he?”
“Who is it? How could they run so fast?”
Zhuo Bu’er’s eyebrows were tightly knitted as he intently stared at the surroundings, “No trace of aura was left behind; could it be the Green-faced Elder? He is reclusive by nature and doesn’t want to see us.”
Old Li snorted coldly, “Reclusive? It’s because you guys bullied him!”
“Speak respectfully to this Sect Master! ” Zhuo Bu’er shouted angrily.
Old Li was furious, “Damn it! Zhuo Bu’er, if you yell at me again…”
“Shut up, all of you, and search for him! He must have used a minor teleport and couldn’t have gone far!” the Tribulation Loose Immortal ordered.
He couldn’t understand why, after crafting an Immortal Artifact a cause for immense celebration the man would run away?
“Search for what? It s better if he’s gone; otherwise, our sect might soon lose this top-tier master!” Zhuo Bu’er said irritably.
“Nonsense, Zhuo Bu’er, do you not want your position as Sect Master anymore? Everyone, search for him!” the Tribulation Loose Immortal commanded.
The crowd hurriedly dispersed to search in all directions.
Thousands of miles away, Li Cheng’s Spiritual Sense was constantly monitoring the Artifact Sect. Seeing them frantically searching for someone, he stroked his chin, “Already in chaos? Good, let’s see if I can find the Astonished God Tripod.”
Without hesitation, Li Cheng’s Spiritual Sense began to search with all its might.
But even after scouring the entire Artifact Sect with his Spiritual Sense, he found no traces of any Immortal Artifact- no doubt they were probably hidden in a Secret Land, just like in rhe Heavenly Mechanism Sect!
Of course, there was also the possibility that the Immortal Artifact was concealed on someone’s person!
However, if he were to scan someone closely with his Spiritual Sense, the targeted individual would certainly sense it.
By then, strong cultivators had already started arriving at the Artifact Sect in succession.
Only then did the people of the Artifact Sect stop searching and activated the Sect Protection Array, preparing for battle.
“Eh? Sect Master Zhuo, what is the meaning of this? Your sect has just refined an Immortal Artifact, and we’ve passed through more than ten Transmission Arrays to come and offer our congratulations, yet you’ve activated your Sect Protection Array?’1
The first group of more than ten people who arrived were all at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. From their attire, they could be identified as belonging to the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect, ranked seventh.
Before the Artifact Sect could respond, more powerful auras appeared one after another in the distant Sky, fast approaching.
Sword lights shot through the sky, and Sword Qi swirled around—the Sword Sect, ranked third, had also arrived!
More and more strong cultivators arrived, most of them at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, with very few Loose Immortals.
Seeing this, Zhuo Bu’er secretly heaved a sigh of relief, “Luckily, not many Loose Immortals have come, otherwise it would be dangerous! ”
“Who told you there are few Loose Immortals? There are at least a hundred Loose Immortals hidden in the sky!” Old Li said irritably.
Zhuo Bu’er’s eyebrows knitted together, “That could be troublesome!”
“What’s so troublesome? They show no intent to kill; they’ve said they came to offer congratulations!” the Tribulation Loose Immortal said with disdain.
In his view, Zhuo Bu’er was just overthinking things.
Plainly put, he was judging others by his own petty standards.
Zhuo Bu’er did not explain and instead bowed his hands to the crowd outside the formation, “Fellow Daoists have come together, surely for the matter of the Immortal Artifact?”
“Playing coy, Sect Master Zhuo? What are you suggesting with this Sect Protection Array?’1
Outside the array, more than three hundred people had already gathered, naturally feeling dissatisfied ar being blocked by the Artifact Sect’s Protection Array.
Zhuo Bu’er smiled and bowed his hands again, saying, “Please forgive us, fellow Daoists. An elder of our Artifact Sect unexpectedly refined an Immortal Artifact, and he himself is puzzled. Thus, we have activated the Sect Protection Array to investigate the matter.”
“Hehe, Sect Master Zhuo, the top Artifact Refiners of your sect are renowned throughout the Southern Domain. May 1 ask who it was that refined it?” someone inquired.
Zhuo Bu’er shook his head slightly, “The identity of this elder who refined the Immortal Artifact is somewhat special. He has already survived twenty-two Loose Immortal Tribulations and has rarely shown himself in the last twenty thousand years, so I’m afraid you may not have heard of his name.”
This statement caused most of the people present to contract their pupils in surprise twenty-two tribulations? Even a True Immortal descending to the Lower World wouldn’t dare to offend such a being, would they?
Who would have thought the Artifact Sect had hidden their capabilities so deeply!
Thousands of miles away, Li Cheng’s expression was one of amazement. This was truly a learning experience—what a load of bluster!
