In the opulent council hall, an elderly man with the bearing of an immortal stood upon the steps. Below him knelt five middle-aged individuals. The scathing rebuke had erupted from the elder.
The four middle-aged men bowed their heads in silence, but one ventured softly, "Ancestor, we have been diligently searching for Shang Xingchen's whereabouts, which led us to overlook Shang Tianjue. As for the Heavenly Patrol Mirror, it is routine to communicate with the other four continents only once every decade..."
The elder snapped coldly, "So you caught the sesame seeds but lost the watermelon? Moreover, you haven't even caught Shang Xingchen, just traces of him!
I truly was mistaken to entrust the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace to you all! All you think about day and night is vying for power and grabbing benefits! Why not consider uniting to produce another Deity Transformation cultivator?
If there is no new Deity Transformation cultivator after I pass, what will become of our Feather Transformation Heaven Palace?!
I have come to realize that the real threat to the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace is not from outside, not from other sects, but right here on Feather Transformation Island, among my own direct disciples!
It has been only a few years since the collapse of the Nether Dao Sect! Have you forgotten? The gaping pit that was once their ancestral ground still stares at you every day!"
The five middle-aged men remained silent once more, neither daring to look at each other nor raise their heads, merely enduring the tirade.
After a long vent, the elder's mood slightly eased. "Act now! Travel to the Southern Wilderness via the ancient teleportation array and capture Shang Tianjue! I will tolerate no mistakes this time! Whoever accomplishes this, I will appoint him as the master of the palace!"
The five middle-aged men's eyes lit up as they rose to their feet, declaring in unison, "Please rest assured, Master, we shall fulfill this mission without dishonor!"
The elder then tossed out a storage bag, "This contains the tokens bestowed by the upper sect. Make arrangements for these tokens as well. We must act fairly; each of the five continents must receive two hundred tokens!"
The five men responded respectfully, "We understand."
After they departed, the elder sighed deeply. "Shang Tianjue has already appeared, but what of Shang Xingchen? Will the prophecy... become reality? Will our Feather Transformation Heaven Palace fall at the hands of them?"
...
In the mystical realm of Southern Wilderness within the Kingdom of Yu, while mortals and low-level cultivators were still lost in slumber, disciples from the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace arrived through the ancient teleportation arrays.
Nascent Soul, Golden Core, Foundation Establishment... a myriad of cultivators congregated in the sky, resembling celestial warriors.
A commanding middle-aged man surged with Spiritual Qi, his voice rolling out majestically. "By the elder's decree! The Hundred Refinement Sect, despite knowing the palace's command, still chose to aid Shang Tianjue. All elders and disciples of the Hundred Refinement Sect are to be executed!"
The disciples of the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace responded in unison, "Yes!"
Their voices thundered like a clap of sky-shattering thunder, startling demonic beasts in all directions into a frenzied escape.
From Yan Kingdom, Yue Kingdom, to Myriad Islands Lake, figures from the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace appeared at various ancient teleportation arrays. Each team was led by a Nascent Soul cultivator.
The Nascent Soul cultivators of other sects were no match for those of the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that a single Nascent Soul cultivator from the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace could single-handedly take on two average Nascent Soul cultivators.
Wherever these disciples passed, the cultivators of the Hundred Refinement Sect had no power to retaliate and were quickly slain.
The cultivators of the Hundred Refinement Sect, unwilling to accept their fate, were compelled to resist. This sparked a great battle, leaving devastation in its wake, a scene of widespread misery and destruction.
