Chapter 273: Chapter 272: Gathering TogetherThe Spiritual Boat Association has branches spread throughout the entire Southern Domain, establishing divisions within hundreds of the Upper Countries of the Domain. Even many major sects and powers would head to the Spiritual Boat Association to board a spirit boat for their travels. This time, both the Emperor Immortal Sect and three major forces heading to the Southern Ghost Tomb had chosen to embark on their journey aboard a spirit boat. The trip to the Southern Ghost Tomb required two days. If one were to fly through the sky, it would consume too much True Qi, and with so many people, it would be too ostentatious. After all, once you leave the Tianqing Mountain Range, you are truly entering the Southern Domain. Compared to the Southern Domain, the entire Tianqing Mountain Range is but a tiny spot. Within the Southern Domain alone, there are no less than a hundred Upper Countries. And the number of sects and powers are as numerous as the hairs on an ox. Forces like Xuanmo Cave, Smoke Mist Mountain, and Luotian Sacred Land are countless in number. In the Upper Countries of the Southern Domain, unlike the six major ones of the Tianqing Mountain Range, these are existences of overwhelmingly powerful strength. Take, for instance, the Luotian Upper Country, overseen by Luotian Sacred Land, whose overall strength is so formidable that even if the six major Upper Countries of the Tianqing Mountain Range were combined, they would not match it. And among the hundreds of Upper Countries in the Southern Domain, their strengths are nearly indistinguishable from one another. Strictly speaking, the Upper Countries of the Tianqing Mountain Range, such as Lie Tian Heavenly Country, Ancient Yun Shang Country, and Tianfeng Country, would certainly not be acknowledged if placed in the Southern Domain. In their view, although these Upper Countries possess the name, they do not possess the essence of true Upper Countries. The influence of the Spiritual Boat Association is extremely vast, spreading throughout the Southern Domain and crisscrossing it in a horrifying manner. Only the Spiritual Boat Association could achieve such a feat. Even Luotian Sacred Land and Heavens Cloud Divine Sect, these colossal entities of the Southern Domain, would show some courtesy to the Spiritual Boat Association. This shows the formidable extent of the Spiritual Boat Association. In fact, the only time in many years that the Spiritual Boat Association had suffered a setback was probably when they encountered Ye Xuan when setting out from Huainan City before. On that occasion, they lost two Vice-Presidents. You should know that the thirteen Vice Presidents of the Spiritual Boat Association represent the strongest combat force of the Association. Yet that time, they lost two of them, Mo Gaoli and Yuan Qingyun. It was finally Qi Xiaobo who came to the rescue and actively bowed to Ye Xuan, allowing them to catch their breath. Had they continued to call for reinforcements then, it’s likely that even if all thirteen Vice Presidents, as well as the President himself, came forth, they would have still died at the hands of Ye Xuan. If it had reached that point, the Spiritual Boat Association would likely have been declared destroyed. Early in the morning, people from Xuanmo Cave, Smoke Mist Mountain, and Luotian Sacred Land could already feel the spirit boat dock. This time, the three major forces each dispatched three hundred people, mostly Princes, with the strongest being Heavenly Phenomenons. The Sect Masters of the three forces personally led the teams. "Why are the people from Emperor Immortal Sect so slow?" a person from Xuanmo Cave frowned and said. "These guys have never been to the Southern Ghost Tomb before, probably didn’t manage their time properly," scoffed a disciple from Luotian Sacred Land. For the three major forces, this was not their first trip to the Southern Ghost Tomb, so it was a familiar route for them. However, the Sect Masters of the three forces remained silent. They knew that the people from Emperor Immortal Sect had already arrived. Boom———— Not long after, led by Mu Baicheng, Ye Xuan and his party arrived. Thousands of individuals descended at the spirit boat dock, causing a stir among the surrounding cultivators. "The people from Emperor Immortal Sect have come. My goodness, they really brought so many?" "Worthy of being one of the current four major forces, they actually brought more people than the three major forces combined!" These unknowing cultivators all remarked. Naturally, their words also reached the ears of the disciples from the three major forces. But upon hearing this, they all laughed derisively. "What use is there in having more people? I’m afraid they won’t be enough to account for the dead when the time comes." "Exactly. Do they really think that going to the Southern Ghost Tomb is about competing for opportunities? They might get slaughtered before they even enter." "Are they kidding? Why are there so many from the Inscriptions Realm? And even Daoist Platform Realm?!" The disciples of the three major forces exchanged whispers, discussing the people from Emperor Immortal Sect. The arrival of the Emperor Immortal Sect’s delegation indeed shocked them. Going to the Southern Ghost Tomb, one would encounter the strongest of the young generation in the Southern Domain; what value is there in numbers? A mere wave of the opponent’s hand would finish them all. "Hmph, these guys just don’t know what’s good for them," snorted an experienced elder disciple with a history of painful lessons. Although they were discussing this, they weren’t speaking too loudly. Regardless, with the recent rise in power of the Emperor Immortal Sect, coupled with the presence of Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei, many disciples from the three major forces still harbored apprehension. Especially Ye Xuan, who had emerged as the leading figure among the younger generation within a hundred thousand miles of the Heaven Qing Mountain Range after his visit to the Golden Pond of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country. However, the Saint Heirs and Holy Daughters of the three major forces were somewhat displeased with this. This discontent was a kind of defiance because none of them had ever crossed hands with Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan had seized the title they believed belonged to themselves. At the moment, the Saint Heirs and Holy Daughters from the three Sacred Lands all watched with unfriendly eyes as Ye Xuan and others descended. "Elder Mu." The Sect Masters of the three major forces, upon seeing Mu Baicheng leading the team, were somewhat surprised and quickly took the initiative to greet him respectfully. Mu Baicheng was even twice their elder in terms of seniority, already renowned throughout the Four Seas when they were still young. All three Sect Masters still held considerable respect for this strongest of the Emperor Immortal Sect, who was also currently the only Supreme Elder. Mu Baicheng gave a slight nod. "Elder Mu, does your sect really have this many people..." The Saint Master of the Luotian Sacred Land glanced over the people behind Mu Baicheng, furrowing his brows slightly. Although the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave and the Mountain Master of Smoke Mist Mountain did not speak, they too frowned silently. What on earth was the Emperor Immortal Sect planning, sending so many people to their deaths? S~eaʀᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Mu Baicheng shot a glance at the Saint Master of the Luotian Sacred Land and spoke calmly, "I believe in their strength." This immediately caused the corners of the mouths of the three Sect Masters to twitch. Believe in their strength? Most of these people were at the Inscriptions Realm, and there were even a few from the Daoist Platform Realm... What use could their strength possibly be? Were they being sent to die? Although they believed in the abilities of Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei, if there were so many people together, even if Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei were extraordinary, it would probably be of no use... Thinking this, the three shot each other a look, seeing the thoughts in each other’s eyes. Thus, they all said, "Since you’ve arrived, then let’s set off together." "Mm," Mu Baicheng nodded slightly, not saying much more. Soon, everyone boarded the Spirit Boat together. The four major forces all shared one Spirit Boat. "What a huge Spirit Boat," Zhu Xiaofei and others followed behind Ye Xuan, exclaiming as if they had opened up a new world. "This Spirit Boat is much bigger than the one we took last time!" Zhou Bingyi was also somewhat excited. This Spirit Boat was much larger than the one they had taken back from Huainan City previously, likely arranged by the three major forces with the Spiritual Boat Association. "Just a mere Spirit Boat, wait until I take you to ride the Ancient Divine Chariot," Ye Xuan said with a faint smile. "The Ancient Divine Chariot? What is that?" Zhu Xiaofei and the others were somewhat puzzled. "Naturally, it’s an Ancient Divine Chariot pulled by True Dragons and Divine Phoenixes, quite an impressive thing," Ye Xuan explained, albeit without details. "The Ancient Divine Chariot? Pulled by True Dragons and Divine Phoenixes?" No sooner had Ye Xuan’s words landed than the disciples from the three major forces who had boarded the Spirit Boat ahead displayed strange looks on their faces, with a hint of mockery surfacing in their eyes. Although they had heard that Ye Xuan was very strong, it now seemed that Ye Xuan’s bragging abilities might be even stronger. "Don’t be envious; your envy is pointless," Ye Xuan stated, chuckling. "Pfft————" At Ye Xuan’s words, disciples from the three major forces nearly burst out laughing. "Hahahaha, now I’m really envious, wow, an Ancient Divine Chariot pulled by True Dragons and Divine Phoenixes, I would love to take a ride," some disciples couldn’t help but utter sarcastically. This led the Emperor Immortal Sect disciples to glare at them angrily. Although they also felt that their senior brother might be bragging, these guys dared to mock so blatantly, which truly angered them. "If you’re capable of riding a chariot pulled by True Dragons and Divine Phoenixes, then why do you still come to ride in the high-grade Spirit Boat chartered by our three major forces?" At this moment, a cold voice came from the boat’s bow. The crowd made way, revealing the speaker to be a white-robed youth wearing the attire of the Luotian Sacred Land. The white-robed youth stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a commanding presence, and his eyes, similar to stars, carried a faint trace of mockery. Luotian Sacred Land’s Saint Heir!
