Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Immortal Sect’s Former Site

"Retreat!"

After a brief battle, the Jade Pool Divine Lady also felt the urge to retreat and ordered everyone to withdraw quickly.

"Swish!"

As soon as the words fell, she did not care whether the others had time to leave and directly leapt back into the chariot, immediately driving it away, vanishing swiftly into the distance.

The same action was taken by the Supreme Elder of the Purple Mansion.

The power of the Immortal Demon Flood Dragon had completely exceeded what they could handle.

If they did not leave now, even she and the Jade Pool Divine Lady would be at risk of falling.

"Quick, escape!"

Below, the people quickly came to their senses and fled in panic toward the surrounding forests, hoping that the Immortal Demon Flood Dragon would not pursue them.

Ji Chen did not hesitate, being one of the first to retreat, quickly hiding in the distant forest.

"Roar!"

The Immortal Demon Flood Dragon continued to roar, chasing after the people.

Listening to the sound becoming more distant, Ji Chen slowly exhaled in the forest, and stopped his steps.

He turned back, looking far away, and saw that the direction he fled was opposite to the pursuit of the Immortal Demon Flood Dragon, which reassured him a lot.

The group had completely scattered.

Due to the appearance of the Immortal Demon Flood Dragon, all the powerful forces entering the mountains were now fleeing in different directions, making it difficult to regroup.

Thus, to survive in this perilous mountain range, everyone could only rely on their own strength.

"It’s terrifying; we’ve only entered a little over two hundred miles, and already encountered an Immortal Demon Flood Dragon—a creature thought extinct."

"Even the Supreme Elder of the Purple Mansion and the Jade Pool Divine Lady couldn’t handle it, with their Immortal Sword shattered. Had we not escaped in time, most of us would surely have died there."

Beside a small stream, Ji Chen arrived and met a few cultivators who had escaped death like him, now drinking mountain spring water to calm their nerves.

"No wonder it’s called the Forbidden Land; it’s so dangerous, even the outskirts have legendary ancient creatures. It’s unimaginable how fearsome the depths of this mountain could be."

Under a few ancient trees, some others who fled here were also discussing.

Now, all the cultivators who entered the mountains had scattered, dispersed throughout the area in search of opportunities.

Ji Chen walked alone, encountering other cultivators every couple of hours.

Without exception, there was mutual caution between them, and nobody initiated conversation.

"Boom!"

Occasionally, the sound of energy exploding came from the distant forest; Ji Chen knew it was likely a dispute over discovered treasures that led to fighting.

He ignored it and continued heading deeper into the mountain, seeking the Immortal Treasure. As for other things, Ji Chen would not intentionally seek them out, but would not mind taking them if fate led him there.

"In a valley to the west, it seems someone discovered an ancient Immortal Sect relic. The news is spreading fast; hurry there, and you might find something good!"

While traveling, Ji Chen overheard such talk.

In a nearby dense forest, some passing cultivators were discussing it.

"An ancient Immortal Sect relic!"

His heart stirred; this was not to be missed.

Without much thought, Ji Chen quickly headed west.

About half an hour later.

He arrived in front of a valley.

Along the way, besides Ji Chen, he encountered many other cultivators from various forces, all clearly having heard the news and were heading there.

Currently, the valley was already gathering many people who were searching the area.

"How can there be an ancient Immortal Sect relic amidst the Forbidden Power of the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range?" someone couldn’t help but question.

Yet, clearly, no one present could answer.

Ji Chen went with the flow, heading into the valley, his eyes scanning everything carefully.

It wasn’t hard to see that from the valley entrance, the ancient Immortal Sect relic began, and the area he was in seemed to be the former mountain gate.

As he headed further inside, more people gathered.

At this point, several thousand people at least were assembled within this Immortal Sect relic.

Collapsed halls and broken pillars lay disorderedly; it had fallen into ruin.

But from the vast area this relic occupied, it was imaginable that it was once magnificent, far more than just an obscure sect.

"It’s said that someone saw an ancient Dao Field in the back mountain, still lingering with strands of True Meaning of the Great Dao."

This kind of talk reached Ji Chen’s ears, causing him to squint.

From the little information, he guessed this ancient Immortal Sect was truly extraordinary, possessing an Immortal Dao Field.

In today’s Immortal Realm, factions with Immortal Dao Fields are few; common noble families and sects cannot construct them, only top powers like the Jade Pool and Purple Mansion have inherited them.

This was an ancient Immortal Sect that could rival the Purple Mansion and the Jade Pool!

Ji Chen was astonished and felt incredulity.

How could such a powerful faction also succumb to time, with nothing truly everlasting or immortal?

Perhaps a million years hence, even ancient and mighty powers like the Jade Pool and Purple Mansion would become mere dust in history, ceasing to exist.

Those once unparalleled figures and stunning beauties would ultimately become mere bones.

"Buzz!"

Heading deeper into the relic, Ji Chen found his hands empty, having gained nothing after an uncertain amount of time.

Suddenly, a world-shaking aura surged from the deepest part of the relic, instantly enveloping the whole area and dimming the world significantly.

"Sword Momentum!"

Feeling this aura, Ji Chen’s face was amazed.

This Sword Momentum’s power far exceeded his imagination.

"It’s the Dao Yi Immortal Sword! Someone found the Dao Yi Immortal Sword in that Immortal Dao Field in the back mountain!"

In front of a crumbling ancient hall, a young man cried out in surprise, then hurried toward the back mountain.

"Dao Yi Immortal Sword? Is it true?"

"Could it be that this is the former Dao Yi Sword Sect?!"

"Highly possible! Otherwise, why else would the Dao Yi Immortal Sword appear here!"

"It is said that the past Dao Yi Sword Sect was the most glorious Sword Dao Sect in the Immortal Domain, possessing nine Immortal Swords; if combined, they could destroy heaven and earth, and the Dao Yi Immortal Sword was one of those nine, also the strongest!"

Such discussions reached his ears.

Soon, everyone at the relic was rushing toward the back mountain, eager to explore.
