Chapter 1472 - 346: Powerhouses of the World’s Sects

Chapter 1472: Chapter 346: Powerhouses of the World’s Sects

Human Clan Imperial Court.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Gu Xing set down the Myriad Lands Jade Talisman in his hand, and finally, a change appeared on his otherwise calm face.

"Immediately send out the command for all sects across the land to have powerhouses at the Immortal Golden Body Realm and above come to the Capital City to face the Emperor!"

"Is Your Majesty summoning all the sect powerhouses?"

Upon hearing the order, Wu Gan was momentarily stunned.

Though the Imperial Court now governs the world, if it rashly gathers all sect powerhouses, it’s not an easy feat to accomplish.

Such an order would require a significant event, otherwise, those sects might not willingly comply.

Gu Xing said faintly, "This move concerns the future of the Human Clan. Any human who disobeys will be charged with betraying the clan."

"I accept the order!"

Wu Gan hurriedly accepted the command.

Betraying the clan!

This is the gravest crime in the Imperial Court.

Since the extinction of the Demon Evil, the crime of betraying the clan has rarely been mentioned.

After all, the Demon Evil have been wiped out, and humans now reign supreme in the world, so how could there still be talk of betrayal?

However.

Though the possibility of betrayal is gone, the crime itself still exists.

This kind of punishment.

Even the lightest penalty involves the extermination of nine clans, and whenever someone touches this punishment, blood inevitably flows like rivers.

With Wu Gan’s departure, a decree from the Imperial Court spread throughout the world.

Suddenly.

The world was shaken.

Upon receiving the news, powerhouses from all sects suddenly changed in expression.

"What’s the Imperial Court trying to do, actually gathering all sect powerhouses!"

Within the Qingyu Sect, Chang Yin’s expression slightly changed upon hearing the news.

Immortal Golden Body Realm!

Had it been ten or twenty years ago, that realm truly represented the pinnacle of existence.

Across all the sects in the world, they certainly couldn’t produce even a handful of Immortal Golden Body Realm powerhouses.

Regarding the current situation, things have alleviated considerably.

This change largely stems from Shen Changqing’s previous spread of martial teachings across the land, which has elevated the strength of sects everywhere, with every person experiencing breakthroughs of varying degrees.

Even once exceptionally scarce, there are now a batch of powerhouses at the Immortal Golden Body Realm.

Despite the small numbers.

This demonstrates that the strength of all sects is indeed steadily increasing.

All those at the Immortal Golden Body Realm are now genuine top-tier powerhouses from various sects. If something happens, it’s enough to cause upheaval within a sect.

The Imperial Court suddenly summoning all powerhouses—some naturally sense something isn’t right.

Yun Yi shook his head: "Regardless of the Imperial Court’s intentions, our Qingyu Sect has no choice but to comply. Despite the sects now being stronger, arguably at their most prosperous in ten thousand years.

Nevertheless, this strength means little before the Imperial Court.

Without considering others, the Sect Master should remember that as long as Defender Shen is alive, no one can defy the Imperial Court."

Defender Shen!

At hearing this name, Chang Yin immediately regained his senses.

If there’s anyone whose name alone prevents people from even daring to breathe loudly, then Shen Changqing is unquestionably that person.

He’s considered the strongest recorded in human history.

He first spread martial teachings worldwide, followed by spiritual teachings—each action brought significant changes to the Human Clan.

The latter spread of spiritual teachings especially deeply illustrated just how unfathomable Defender Shen is.

Given the Qingyu Sect’s current strength, attempting to defy him is utterly hopeless.

Thus.

Faced with the Imperial Court’s orders, all the Qingyu Sect can do is comply.

"While I’m away, please take care of the Qingyu Sect, Grand Elder!" Chang Yin took a deep breath and then said.

Within the Qingyu Sect, the sole Immortal Golden Body Realm powerhouse is himself.

As for Yun Yi, his talent isn’t as great, remaining at Heaven Being Level Eight to date.

Of course.

Being at Heaven Being Level Eight is considered top-tier in the Jianghu.

Reaching the Immortal Golden Body Realm represents true pinnacle strength.

Yun Yi said: "Don’t worry, Sect Master, the sect’s affairs will be handled by me personally. I estimate this trip carries no danger—after all, the Imperial Court gains no advantage in targeting us sects now.

From what I see, there’s likely something needing participation from all sects!"

He clearly understands the current situation.

The Imperial Court remains stable.

Each sect develops steadily.

At present, order across all areas is without issues; the Imperial Court has no reason to act against the sects.

And beyond that.

Internally, chaos brews from the Central Profound Realm, externally, the Heavens Myriad Clans covet us.

This moment, causing internal turmoil only weakens the Human Clan’s power with no benefit.

Thinking it over.

Yun Yi can’t conceive of a reason for the Imperial Court to harm the sects worldwide.

Upon hearing.

Chang Yin slightly nodded: "The Grand Elder’s reasoning seems sound. This time, I’ll head to the Capital City and see what the Imperial Court is really planning."

...

Just like the Qingyu Sect.

When the Imperial Court issued a decree for the powerful figures from the sects across the land to go to the Capital City, even though some sects were dissatisfied in their hearts, they did not dare to voice any objections.

In the past, when the Imperial Court was still the Great Qin, the Demon-Subduing Division suppressed the world, causing various sects to decline.

Now.

The overall strength of the Jianghu has greatly increased, but after the Great Qin transformed into the Imperial Court, its power has become even more terrifying.

If in the past, when facing the Great Qin, the sects of the world still had room to resist, now, anyone who dares to utter a word of refusal is courting death.

"Master!"

In the Forbidden Land of the Transference Divine Palace, Wen Tianchou, who is the Palace Master, arrived here and respectfully saluted the person in front of him.

"Is there something?"

Ji Quan opened his eyes, a ray of divine light appeared and quickly disappeared.

Wen Tianchou said, "Reporting to Master, the Imperial Court has issued a decree requiring all cultivators of our sect at the Immortal Golden Body Realm and above to go to the Capital City, but I do not know the specific reason. What does Master think our Transference Divine Palace should do?"

"Since the Imperial Court has commanded, our Transference Divine Palace must naturally comply." Ji Quan said calmly, his expression unchanged.

"Master, is there a possibility that this action by the Imperial Court could be detrimental to our Transference Divine Palace?"

"You need not worry about this. The strength of the Imperial Court completely surpasses all the sects of the world. Even if all sects were to unite now, they probably wouldn’t be enough for the Imperial Court to crush with one hand. If the Imperial Court truly wanted to act against the Transference Divine Palace, there would be no need for such tactics.

You are seeing the leaf and missing the forest, hence you fail to see the current situation clearly."

Ji Quan shook his head slightly.

Is the Transference Divine Palace powerful?

If it were within the Jianghu, the Transference Divine Palace could indeed be called a Supreme Sect, and looking across the world, there would be no sect that could rival it.

After all, there is only one person who can reach the Cave Heaven Realm.

But the problem is.

Even if the Transference Divine Palace could dominate within the Jianghu, before the Imperial Court, it is nothing more than an ant.

In the past battle of Central Profound Realm, Shen Changqing alone suppressed the powerful figures of various sects and severely injured numerous Divine Kings; such prowess is still vivid in memory.

If the Imperial Court truly wanted to attack the Transference Divine Palace, it would not need anything else, just one finger from Defender Shen could wipe the Transference Divine Palace from Heaven and Earth.

Such is the terror of a Supreme Powerhouse.

No matter if the Transference Divine Palace were given a thousand years or ten thousand years, it may still never reach that level.

Therefore.

What reason does the Transference Divine Palace have to defy the orders of the Imperial Court?

"What Master says is very true!"

Wen Tianchou suddenly realized, with sweat pouring down his back like rain.

Having led the Transference Divine Palace for these years, he indeed had somewhat failed to see the bigger picture, lacking a clear understanding of the Transference Divine Palace’s position.

It made him think the Transference Divine Palace’s power was too great and that the Imperial Court wanted to take action to balance it.

But upon careful thought.

Even if the power of the Transference Divine Palace were to increase several times over, whether it could shake the Imperial Court even slightly is doubtful.

Thinking about so much was truly unnecessary.

After taking a deep breath.

Wen Tianchou said, "If that is the case, the disciple will head to the Capital City shortly, but does Master also plan to go?"

"The Imperial Court requires all cultivators at the Immortal Golden Body Realm and above to go; how could this old man stay uninvolved? I will go along with you!" Ji Quan replied.

——

"The message has been sent out, now we just wait for the communication from Gu Xing!"

Shen Changqing thought silently.

He had asked the other party to gather all human powerhouses at the Immortal Golden Body Realm and above, so that later he could find an opportunity to return to the Human Clan and help those clansmen shield themselves from causality, and that would be enough.

As for the remaining matters, let the Human Clan rely on their own strength to handle.

Now.

Shen Changqing no longer wants to arrange everything perfectly for the Human Clan, they need to grow a bit on their own.

Otherwise.

If the survival of the Human Clan entirely depends on oneself, should there come a day when one perishes, then how would the Human Clan handle themselves?

This time, letting the Human Clan select some members to enter the Heavens will also let them witness the brutality of the Heavens Myriad Clans and the gap in strength between themselves and the Myriad Clans.

In this way.

The Human Clan can truly grow.

As the thought ceased.

Shen Changqing did not immediately return to the Human Clan’s side, for even with the decree from the Imperial Court, gathering enough powerhouses will still take some time.

Before then.

He has other matters to attend to.

Leaving the secret chamber.

Ziyun Yunlong sensed a familiar aura appearing, hurriedly arrived here, and with a respectful demeanor said, "The Saint Heir has emerged!"

"Hmm, continue with your tasks!"

Shen Changqing did not say much to him and after a simple instruction, stepped out and disappeared from where he stood.

...

Outside the Holy Hall.

Shen Changqing said in a clear voice, "Disciple Ziyan Sheng requests an audience with the Python Emperor!"

As the words fell.

The hall doors opened wide.

Without hesitating, he stepped inside.

Within the hall were numerous Divine Kings and Elders present, among them was the figure of Ziyun Luo, and seated at the forefront was none other than the Python Emperor.

"The Saint Heir has arrived!"

Upon seeing Shen Changqing’s arrival, some Elders greeted him, while others nodded with a smile, almost giving him full face, which was in complete contrast to the scene during the last Holy Hall meeting.

It cannot be helped.

The Heavens Myriad Clans abide by the principle of respecting the powerful.

Shen Changqing’s prowess demonstrated in the Newborn Realm was enough to earn the respect of these powerhouses.
