Volume 1 Chapter 14: Descent
"Sect Master!"
A fiery-robed man ran into the core building of the sect, where a middle-aged man calmly sat on his mat and sipped his tea. He looked at the frantic man, gesturing to him to talk.
"You heard of the news, right?!"
"Yes, yes, I've heard of it. What about it?"
The man was speechless. He looked at the carefree Sect Master. He was only a regular elder sent here to deliver the message and yet he was so anxious he couldn't help but sweat at every moment, but the Sect Master could sip his tea so calmly?
A feeling of hope arose within his heart. The elder suppressed his excitement as he asked hopefully.
"Sect Master, perhaps… You've already found a solution?"
The Sect Master calmly put down his bowl and waved his sleeve. The elder almost jumped in his place.
"Nope!"
The man fell down. The Sect Master watched calmly as the elder's soul left his body momentarily.
"A-Alright, Sect Master. I'll be taking my leave now…"
The deacon crawled out of the building. The nearby disciples who saw it looked at each other doubtfully. They also heard of the news, and by now, many disciples had already left the sect.
It's no surprise. However, these disciples looked at the core building sadly. No matter what, this is the sect that nurtured them. If they left just like that, wouldn't it be no different than leaving their parents when they were threatened?
They're not so shameless!
While the righteous ones stayed and were determined to fight to the death, the weak-hearted ones had already left since the news was announced.
The Sect Master was indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him. He'd just glanced at the Sword Peak occasionally, his heart shaken every time a little fluctuation waved out from the top of the Peak!
"It's not that I don't care, it's just that… is there even a need for me to come up with a solution?"
Finally, he smiled as he shook his head, "Li Tianwen, I didn't expect you to leave behind an Overlord to replace your position. I admit, you bastard, that I have indeed not expected this."
"Is this your way of saying that your place could only be replaced by an Overlord? Shameless!"
As for the war that was about to happen? The Sect Master merely sipped his tea as he laughed gleefully. Those bastards just sent themselves to their deaths!
They dare to challenge an Overlord in his worldtown? Do they want to die so badly?
Not only him, but the Peak Masters had also realized this. Some cursed Li Tianwen to death, accusing him of being shameless to replace his vacant position with an Overlord.
Some just sighed willfully. Li Tianwen is impressive as always!
The man who could marry a woman from an Immortal Clan and was hailed as the greatest cultivator in terms of combat strength throughout the era!
Now, he added another moniker for his group of legendary titles, the Nurturer of an Overlord!
Impressive! Too impressive!
As the leaders of the Scorching Sun Sect were sighing in awe of Li Tianwen, at the top of the Sword Peak, Fang Zhaoge performed a series of punches when a gargantuan, oppressive aura suddenly exploded from his figure!
"The Fury of the Demon God!"
Fang Zhaoge performed a stance, and with a fist, an incomparably ferocious shockwave shook the whole Sword Peak!
And such an effect was brought by a single stance of the Fury of the Demon God. Fang Zhaoge was satisfied. He could definitely claim himself as 'Daddy' to a Heaven Immortal expert!
"Fang Zhaoge, the seven of the sects of the Eight Region have gathered all their forces and have surrounded our sect!"
Li Mengzhi appeared from her cottage. Her aura actually reached the peak of the Divine Soul realm! It's only been a week since she went into seclusion.
Even in the Immortal World, she could be considered as a top paragon! However, such an incredible feat held no meaning for her anymore.
There's a bastard who could pound an immortal to the ground as a Qi Refinement realm here! Yes, within the week in the seclusion, she found out that Fang Zhaoge was actually still in the Qi Refinement realm!
She fumed to herself. Such an audacity! Even if he's an Overlord, how could he break common sense like that?
Not a realm, two, three, four, or five, but the whole 12 realms! Fang Zhaoge could dominate 12 realms above his!
Just… just what is this? Even a reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor couldn't be this outrageous, right?
Li Mengzhi looked at Fang Zhaoge as if he were a strange, humanoid creature, "Just to inform you, the war will be instigated tomorrow. Don't forget to come."
Fang Zhaoge nodded affirmatively, "Alright. Tomorrow, I'll launch a surprise attack from above and end it all. I could feel my meridians begging me to accumulate qi for the 31st Qi Refinement realm–"
"Enough! I swear if you could contend with the realm above Heaven Immortal as a Qi Refinement realm, I'll bother you to death!"
Fang Zhaoge's mouth twitched as he saw the wronged delicate figure of Li Mengzhi furiously stomp to her cottage. He was just joking. If he could, he'd break through again.
It's just… Fang Zhaoge wryly looked above. The world will truly break down if he breaks through again.
In the end, he chooses to increase the proficiency of his abilities. Before he ascends, he wishes to wipe out all of the subsidiary forces of the Immortal World and unveil the secrets of the Forbidden Zones.
He also began to suspect something from the woman in the ice sphere. It was no secret that amongst the Peak Masters, the Head of the Frozen Hall Peak was the most mysterious.
Because she never appeared!
Fang Zhaoge cupped his chin thoughtfully. In the end, he just brushed it off. He'll naturally know when he is strong enough to withstand the woman's coldness.
Presently, he'll be focusing on the war. Those subsidiary forces will definitely be shameless and let out an expert above Heaven Immortal realm if they are losing.
Such people are too predictable in their deceitfulness and shamelessness!
Fang Zhaoge coldly smiled as he brought out his sword and performed the eight slash! Now, it was infinitely close to a Pseudo Immortal combat technique.
His talent was too strong! Not to mention in this world, he could probably tower over most experts in the Immortal World with such a humongous talent!
A day passed as if it was an instant. In his cottage, Fang Zhaoge's divine eyes revealed themselves as he stood up. Outside, he could already see the beautiful, relaxed figure of Li Mengzhi waiting for him.
"Alright, Junior Brother. You're ready to show the world who's the boss?"
"You still call me Junior Brother? I should be the Senior one now since you're weaker than me, right?"
"Does not matter. Your cultivation is still low!"
Li Mengzhi looked as if she would stake it all if he dared to refute her. In the end, in respect for his master, Fang Zhaoge lets her be. See if she dares to call him as her Junior Brother when he gets his master's permission…
No. He's not as shameless as that irresponsible master of his. He'll definitely fight him head on for the precious permission!
In the core area, the disciples solemnly stood before the core of the sect's formation! Each peak acted as a pillar for the formation, while the core building was the controller!
Soon, they vigorously entered the core area to provide the formation the qi and energy it needed. The elders also joined into the fray, their faces solemn as they are readying themselves to fight to the death!
Only the Peak Masters and the Sect Master stood above the masses. Other than the Sword Peak Master and the Frozen Hall Peak Master, all the Peak Masters are present.
"The world thought we were the ones who were in danger. But… hah, fate is quite funny."
A lanky old man with a bushy white beard and an intricate green robe sighed as he smiled.
"Indeed! That bastard Li Tianwen has been planning to wipe out those shameless Immortal Forces from its roots! Although he's shameless, he's not bad at all!"
The Body-Tempering Peak master laughed out loud as his big and strong body trembled in excitement. He couldn't wait to fight alongside the Overlord and attain the glory his sect deserved!
"Let's wait for his arrival."
In front of the Peak Masters, the Sect Master brushed his beard as he looked at the Sword Peak expectantly. However, a deacon hastily arrived from the gate of the core building and bowed.
"Greetings, Sect Master and Peak Masters! We received a call from the outside that the Emperor of the Great Ming Empire and his daughter, Princess Shinmemg have the intention to visit and provide reinforcement!"
The Sect Master was surprised, but not too much. That Princess Shinmeng is indeed not bad. She noticed the abnormality of the Sword Peak and decisively request to visit.
"As expected of the one that was hailed as the greatest genius in history of this world! Perhaps if Li Tianwen did not nurture the Overlord, she'll be the one who'll become the Overlord instead!"
The Scholar Peak Master nodded admiringly. She's only 14 this year, yet she could distinguish the aura only the Peak Masters could perceive!
"Go back. Immediately welcome them with the best hospitality we could offer! Also, invite the Emperor and the princess to come here!"
After hearing the order from the Sect Master, the elder hastily left the place. The pressure of the peak masters of the sect was too much for him!
"So, old friends, shall we enjoy this moment thoroughly?"
"Of course!"
And then, a supreme pressure descended from above. The Peak Masters and the Sect Master looked up in shock as a being with divine light landed in front of them with Li Mengzhi by his side.
They did not notice his appearance!
"Greetings, Peak Masters and Sect Master. I'm not late, am I?"
What shocked them the most was the fact that the Overlord, the supreme being who could overlook a world, could casually cupped his fists and bowed to them!
An Overlord bowing to them?!
"F*ck! Li Tianwen is way too good! To nurture a humble, good Overlord like this. He definitely exhausted all of his luck just for this!"
The Body-Tempering Peak Master couldn't take it anymore, and he cursed so loudly that the disciples outside jumped on their feet when his booming voice vertebrated their eardrums.
"Shall we enjoy their performance?"
The man in divine light leisurely mocked their opponents, and the people present almost laughed. Li Mengzhi giggled beside him.
Such a casual Overlord… could the world handle him?
