Chapter 477: Chapter 477: Intimidation

"What?!"

"The Undying Immortal Sovereign?!"

As these words were spoken, an indescribable shock appeared on the faces of everyone present.

How could it be possible?

A figure from nearly a million years ago, still alive in the world?

"It really is the Undying Immortal Sovereign!"

"In the past, the Undying Immortal Sovereign had a causative relationship with our Luoyue Immortal Palace. Therefore, to this day, we still have a portrait of him in Luoyue," an old man said.

"Is it true? Did the Undying Immortal Sovereign, who once reigned over the heavens, indeed not perish?"

No one could hold back their surprise; if this were true, it would surely shake the annals of history.

"Buzz!"

At the same time everyone was trembling in shock, a terrifying momentum surged high above, as if the heavens and earth were boiling over.

In full view of everyone, a divine light of the ages pierced the void, as if refracted from distant historical years, transforming into a world-ending sword light.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

The entire void emitted a series of mournful cries at that moment, as if unable to withstand the presence of such a sword, it collapsed and crumbled.

Under the gaze of everyone present, the Sword of Annihilation descended, unstoppable and mighty, causing all faces in Shuofeng City to turn pale with fear as the specter of death drew closer.

Some despaired, some were terrified, and their unease reached an extreme.

"Buzz!"

Ultimately, the sword aura did not completely strike down; it hovered midair, radiating a dazzling divine glow, as if illuminating the entire human realm.

"Sizzle!"

After suspending for a few breaths, the sword aura suddenly and autonomously extinguished, without striking down.

Its appearance seemed more like a warning and deterrent to the world, rather than coming for annihilation.

"Whoosh!"

Shortly after the sword light dispersed, the vast army of skeletons orderly retreated backward in the sky, disappearing from everyone’s sight within mere moments, returning to the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range.

"Too terrifying!"

"I really thought I was about to die just now."

When everything returned to peace, everyone in Shuofeng City gasped for breath, recollecting with hearts still extremely shaken.

"Was that really the Undying Immortal Sovereign?"

"It must be him! There can’t be any mistake! Moreover, the Immortal Sovereign is most likely dead, but his immortal body remains undying, slumbering in the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range, angered because we intended to attack his tomb."

In the city, some older individuals spoke this way.

No matter how powerful, no being truly achieves immortality.

As mighty as the Immortal Sovereign, it is difficult to persist across a million years.

"The Celestial Extinction Mountain Range... It seems we cannot go there."

Many people were discussing, even activating the city’s Teleportation Array Platform immediately, traversing the void, not daring to stay a moment longer.

Top experts from distinguished factions such as Purple Mansion, Turquoise Pool, and Luoyue Immortal Palace did the same, abandoning any thoughts of the Immortal Sovereign’s tomb.

In less than half a day, Shuofeng City, once bustling and lively, returned to its usual calm.

Powerful figures gathered from various great factions gradually left; few dared to stay.

Even some noble families entrenched in the city for millennia had thoughts of relocating their entire clans after this event.

This city is too close to the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range.

With the Immortal Sovereign’s tomb nearby, no one can guarantee what unexpected events might happen here in the future.

Soon, as night fell, Ji Chen still remained in the city, not in a hurry to leave.

He even rented a small courtyard in the city, planning to stay for some time.

"Buzz!"

And just as Ji Chen closed his eyes to cultivate, suddenly, there was a fluctuation from within the courtyard.

Looking around, he saw divine light pouring out, and then an absolutely beautiful silhouette slowly descended before him.

Upon recognizing the person, Ji Chen was taken aback, then immediately stepped forward and slightly clasped his fists, "How did the Divine Lady know I was here?"

It was none other than the Jade Pool Divine Lady.

She spoke in a soft tone, "I specialize in karma, and you have a jade pendant of mine; finding you wasn’t difficult."

"I see," Ji Chen nodded.

He thought his whereabouts had been exposed again; if that were the case, he would have to leave Shuofeng City.

Otherwise, if experts from the Profound Celestial Pavilion came, it would be a troublesome situation.

"Is there something the Divine Lady seeks from me?" he inquired, a curious expression on his face.

"The grand event at Turquoise Pool is approaching; you wouldn’t miss it, would you?" she countered.

Ji Chen replied, "Of course not."

His reason for going to Turquoise Pool was not really about the event; it was mainly to see Qu Luoning.

Therefore, Ji Chen indeed had compelling reasons to go.

The Jade Pool Divine Lady nodded, "In that case, good. I came tonight to ask for your help with something else."

"Please tell me, Divine Lady," Ji Chen said, puzzled why the renowned prodigy of the Turquoise Pool would need his help.

"I’d like to borrow two drops of your blood," she stated.

"Blood?" Ji Chen was taken aback hearing this.

The Jade Pool Divine Lady nodded, "You possess the Hongmeng Physique, and though originating from the Lower Realm, such a physique is extraordinary even in the Immortal Realm."

"May I ask, Divine Lady, what do you need my blood for?" Ji Chen slightly frowned.

"It’s too complicated to explain now; when you arrive at the Turquoise Pool grand event, you’ll understand."

Seeing Ji Chen silently pondering, she added, "Just two drops of blood; it’s a small effort on your part."

Ji Chen was silent for a moment and finally said, "Turquoise Pool saved Luoning’s life. If you want two drops of my blood, how could I refuse?"

Having said that, he took out a blade, made a cut on his finger, and squeezed two drops of golden blood into a jade bottle, handing it to the Jade Pool Divine Lady.

"Golden blood, huh..."

The Jade Pool Divine Lady’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Indeed not a Mortal Body. Even in the Immortal Realm, having a special physique with golden blood is extremely rare."

She put away the jade bottle, then slightly bowed, "In that case, we await your presence at the grand event at Turquoise Pool."

With those words, she transformed into a rainbow light and vanished into the void, soon disappearing from Ji Chen’s sight.

Watching the direction she left, Ji Chen said nothing, still contemplating her purpose for asking for those two drops of blood.

Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, he couldn’t come to any conclusion.

Eventually, Ji Chen resumed his meditation under an ancient tree in the courtyard, quickly entering a state of cultivation.
