Chapter 3834: The Profound Spirit Master

“The entrance to the Skyscraping World should be here.”

The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster personally piloted the immortal vessel over to a silent region of space. He studied the surroundings before taking out the Skyscraping Sword Scripture. As the power of ways surged, a sword-shaped imprint immediately appeared on the scripture.

In the next moment, the sword-shaped imprint shot through the space and opened a gate.

The Illusion-condensing Swordmaster personally controlled the immortal vessel, directly entering the gate with his juniors.

“Another person is here. This time, they seem to have two pages of the Skyscraping Sword Scripture, except the leader is only a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.”

“Fellow, do you happen to have any spare spots? I am willing to use treasures to trade for them. You definitely won’t be losing out…”

......

…

With the immortal vessel’s arrival, several voices rang out. At the same time, Immortal Exalts radiated with their presences, wanting to exchange for their spots while bearing a slightly threatening tone.

“Hehehe, I’m afraid you can’t afford to purchase the entry spots to the Skyscraping World from us.” A gentle laugh rang out. As he spoke, the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster silently appeared outside. His presence was completely concealed. No one present could sense his strength.

However, when Zuo Dao from the Divine Valley of the Nine Heavens saw the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster, his expression immediately changed slightly. He stood up instantly and clasped his fist towards the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster from afar. He said politely, “Greetings, Illusion-condensing Swordmaster!”

“What? The Illusion-condensing Sword Master? This person is the legendary Illusion-condensing Swordmaster?”

“It’s rumoured that the Illusion-condensing Sword Master has two ways. He’s comprehended both the Laws of the Sword and the Laws of Illusion to the Seventh Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt. His strength rivals an Eighth Heavenly Layer expert who’s only grasped one law…”

“To think someone as lofty as the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster would actually come here in person.”

As the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster’s name spread, the surroundings were immediately thrown into an uproar. The seated experts were surprised at first before all standing up and bowing politely towards the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster.

“Master, the person who tried to find us by following the flow of spiritual Qi earlier is him.” The Primeval artifact spirit’s voice rang out in Jian Chen’s head.

When he heard that, Jian Chen could not help but study the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster. He was a middle-aged man with large eyes and thick eyebrows. His appearance was simple, but he also gave off a scholarly presence. He seemed quite approachable, without any of the arrogance that peak experts possessed. In particular, after intentionally suppressing his presence, he seemed even more ordinary. He was the kind of person that would not raise any attention if he stood in a large crowd of people.

If it were not for Zuo Dao who recognised the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster, perhaps it would be very difficult for anyone to believe that such an ordinary person was actually a peak expert renowned throughout the Immortals’ World.

Soon after the Illusion-condensing Swordmaster’s arrival, the spatial gate opened again. This time, even more people arrived. There were over thirty of them, ranging from Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals to Immortal Exalts.

“It’s the Courtyard of Ways. I didn’t expect people from the Courtyard of Ways to come with this opening of the Skyscraping World.”

“The Courtyard of Ways is a court of heaven. They have numerous legacies. It’s said that even some of the past Grand Exalts cultivated in the Courtyard of Ways during their youth. Their legacies far surpass what the Skyscraping World can offer.”

“The Courtyard of Ways is a place that we all look up to. It’s said that numerous supreme experts who rose to the peak, and even sovereigns of the world, have left behind important legacies in the Courtyard of Ways.”

......

…

The discussions from the surroundings made Jian Chen look over subconsciously. In the group of around thirty people, nine cultivators stood out. They were dressed in special daoist robes with the word “Ways” embroidered on their chest. It was written with lively characters. It seemed like it was a work of nature, and it seemed to possess a profound power of the ways.

There were both men and women among the nine cultivators, varying in strength. The weakest was only a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, while the strongest was only an Immortal Emperor.

However, despite not being particularly powerful, they seemed extremely arrogant. They gave off a sense of haughtiness that they looked down on everyone and everything around them.

“They must be students of the Courtyard of Ways…” Jian Chen nodded to himself. Although he did not know their actual battle prowess, he could tell that these nine cultivators were quite extraordinary from their presence alone. They were far more powerful than other cultivators of their level. They could all make the ranks of prodigies.

Among the others, Jian Chen noticed a familiar figure. He was one of the peak experts of the Hall Brilliance Heaven, the city lord of the Yi Immortal City, the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt!

During the years he spent in the Immortal Rising City, Jian Chen had seen some of the experts native to the Hall Brilliance Heaven. The Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt was one of them.

“Hahahaha, Tan Yu, I didn’t expect you to actually reach here before me.” The Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt also noticed Immortal Exalt Tan Yu seated in the distance and immediately let out a laugh.

However, not only was the laughter devoid of any friendliness, but it was instead filled with blatant coldness.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu opened his eyes and looked at the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt. He immediately frowned. If it were the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt alone, he obviously would not care too much. The issue was the people around the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt were not to be trifled with.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was not entirely certain about the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt’s relationship with the people around him.

“Fellow Scarlet Fire, do you have a grievance with this person?” An old man in grey robes asked from beside the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt. He looked at Immortal Exalt Tan Yu with some indifference, clearly looking down on him.

The old man in grey robes was a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. Of course, his greatest source of pride was not his personal strength but his outstanding background. He was one of the five ancestors of the Heavenly Palace of Scaling Heights on the Cloud Extent Heaven, the Profound Spirit Master!

The Heavenly Palace of Scaling Heights was a peak organisation with a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt!

“Fellow Profound Spirit, this is the person who went back on his word that I mentioned a few days ago. If he had upheld his promise, I would not have had to run around everywhere for the sake of this entry spot,” the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt said.

“Father, it really has been difficult for you over the past few years for me to be able to enter the Skyscraping World,” a young man with a striking appearance said from behind the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt.

He was the seventh son of the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt, Chi Yun, a prodigy who had already joined the Courtyard of Ways.

Despite still being very weak, only a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, no one dared to look down on him due to his identity as a student from the Courtyard of Ways.

A tall and straight middle-aged man stood beside Chi Yun. The way he looked at Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was also filled with hostility.

He was the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt’s eldest son, Chi Yutian, a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.

“Grandfather, brother Chi Yun has assisted me substantially during the time I spent in the Courtyard of Ways. In the past, during the tests to enter the Courtyard of Ways, if it were not for brother Chi Yun’s encouragement, progressing hand-in-hand with me, I probably would not have passed successfully. As a result, we can’t just watch brother Chi Yun’s family get bullied,” a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal said from beside the Profound Spirit Master. The way he looked at Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was also filled with hostility.

“My dear grandson, since little friend Chi Yun has been so nice to you, I obviously won’t just stand by and do nothing. Otherwise, people will begin to think that our Heavenly Palace of Scaling Heights is just a bunch of ingrates.” The Profound Spirit Master smiled kindly. He looked at his grandson dotingly, but when he shifted his gaze and looked straight at Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, his tone immediately turned cold. “Fellow, I’ll give you one opportunity. Give the spot that you promised to fellow Scarlet Fire, and I’ll treat it as if nothing has happened.”
