Celestial Emperor of Devouring

Chapter 1026: Chapter 1016: The Elder Council Begins

Thunder Immortal Sect.

In the grand palace hall.

The Thunder Ancestor, the Thunder Sect Leader, and the Elders all wore grave expressions.

The Thunder Sect Leader looked at the Thunder Ancestor and asked worriedly, "Ancestor, I have a bad feeling about this. Will doing this really not implicate the Thunder Immortal Sect?"

The Great Elder was also full of worry and said, "Ancestor, Gu Chenfeng’s power is truly terrifying. If we provoke him again, I’m afraid..."

"Don’t worry, Gu Chenfeng won’t trace it back to us." The Thunder Ancestor said with a calm face, "The power of the Celestial Soul Temple is beyond your imagination. Even this ancestor would be dismissed by them."

"The Celestial Soul Temple has been hidden for years, and not many in the Immortal Realm know about them. Who would have thought that Gu Chenfeng would provoke them; he’s simply courting death."

"This ancestor informed the Guardians of the Celestial Soul Temple precisely to use them as a tool to kill Gu Chenfeng. His death is the only way to relieve this ancestor’s hatred."

Obviously.

The Thunder Ancestor planned to use the Celestial Soul Temple to kill Gu Chenfeng.

The Thunder Sect Leader frowned and said seriously, "Let’s hope the Celestial Soul Temple can really kill Gu Chenfeng."

"Enough, there’s no need to mention this again." The Thunder Ancestor said indifferently, "With the Elder Council approaching, prepare well, strive to win the position of Honored Guest Elder. The strength of the Star Ancient Sect is formidable, and with their assistance, Gu Chenfeng wouldn’t dare do anything to us."

The Great Elder smiled bitterly and said, "Ancestor, we offended Chief Tang before; she’s bound not to let our Thunder Immortal Sect participate in the Elder Council."

"Rest assured." The Thunder Ancestor replied confidently, "If this ancestor intervenes personally, would the Star Ancient Sect really not give me face?"

Upon hearing this.

The Great Elder was overjoyed and quickly thanked him respectfully, "That’s great! Thank you, Ancestor!"

The Thunder Sect Leader smiled happily, "With the Ancestor intervening personally, the Sect Leader of the Star Ancient Sect surely wouldn’t dare refuse."

However.

They didn’t know that Gu Chenfeng was actually the Ancestor of the Star Ancient Sect.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

TODAY is the day of the Star Ancient Sect’s Elder Council.

The Burning Flame Immortal Sect, Proud Immortal Hall, Purple Cloud Immortal Sect, Thunder Immortal Sect, and various other forces from the Divine Realm, along with numerous loose cultivator experts, gathered together.

Of course.

The majority of forces and all the loose cultivators were just there to join the festivities.

The Elder Council of the Star Ancient Sect is a grand event, with each meeting guaranteed to be filled with powerful figures and a sea of people.

Even formidable forces from outside the Divine Realm, like the Celestial Shadow Immortal Palace and the Supreme Immortal Hall, attended as well.

The so-called Elder Council is a grand battle where each major force of the Divine Realm sends an Elder to participate, and their cultivation must be above that of Immortal Venerable.

It’s a chaotic battle, with the final ten individuals winning the position of Honored Guest Elder in the Star Ancient Sect.

There are only ten slots for the Honored Guest Elder positions.

At this moment.

The Chief of the Elder Pavilion of the Star Ancient Sect, Tang Yuyan, was registering the information of the Elders from the major forces participating in the Elder Council.

The Great Elder of Proud Immortal Hall respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Chief Tang, I am the Great Elder of Proud Immortal Hall, Wuliangzi."

Tang Yuyan’s charming face showed a faint smile, and she cordially said, "Welcome Elder Wuliangzi, please enter and wait patiently for the Elder Council to start."

"Thank you, Chief Tang." Wuliangzi expressed his gratitude with clasped fists.

Another elderly man with white hair and beard stepped forward and respectfully clasped his fists, "Chief Tang, I am the Great Elder of the Burning Flame Immortal Sect, Nangong Lietian."

Tang Yuyan smiled politely, "Welcome Elder Nangong."

"Chief Tang, I am..."

One after another, Elders from major powers stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and Tang Yuyan politely engaged with them, showing no air of superiority.

However.

When the Great Elder of the Thunder Immortal Sect stepped forward.

Tang Yuyan’s smile vanished instantly, replaced by an icy demeanor that kept others at a distance.

The Great Elder of the Thunder Immortal Sect respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Chief Tang, I am..."

Before the Great Elder of the Thunder Immortal Sect could finish speaking, Tang Yuyan interrupted him coldly, "The Thunder Immortal Sect is not qualified to participate in the Elder Council. Go back to where you came from."

At these words.

The entire place fell into a deathly silence.

The strong figures from various major forces and many loose cultivator experts all turned their gaze over.

The Great Elder of the Thunder Immortal Sect’s face instantly turned gloomy, and it was incredibly embarrassing.

At this moment.

The atmosphere at the scene turned tense due to Tang Yuyan’s rejection of the Great Elder of the Thunder Immortal Sect.

The face of the Great Elder of the Thunder Immortal Sect was so dark it seemed water could drip from it. Anger boiled in his heart, and he clenched his fists, itching to explode immediately.

However.

The Great Elder of the Thunder Immortal Sect was very aware of the strength of the Star Ancient Sect and dared not act rashly.

His eyes showed a flicker of anger and unwillingness, yet he forcibly suppressed his emotions.

The powerful figures from various major forces and numerous loose cultivators saw this scene and started murmuring quietly.

A loose cultivator expert chuckled, "The Thunder Immortal Sect is embarrassed in front of all the major forces of the Divine Realm; this is going to be interesting."

"Indeed, the Thunder Immortal Sect once shut their door to Chief Tang, and the Young Sect Leader even made excessive demands of her. Now Chief Tang surely won’t let them off easily," another cultivator echoed.

"The Thunder Immortal Sect is too arrogant, thinking they’re so great; now look, they’ve been publicly rejected." Someone else gloated.

The Elders of various major forces wore different expressions.

Some showed gloating smiles, while others frowned slightly, worried that this clash would affect the proceedings of the Elder Council.

However.

Just as everyone was discussing fervently, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted.

This aura, like a surging tide, instantly swept across the entire area.

Everyone was so frightened by this aura that their souls seemed to scatter, halting their discussions and looking fearfully towards the source of the aura.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Thunder Ancestor and Thunder Sect Leader suddenly appeared.

The Thunder Ancestor donned a black robe, his eyes as sharp as a knife, exuding powerful pressure.

The Thunder Sect Leader followed closely, his expression solemn.

At this moment.

Everyone showed a look of terror on their faces, feeling the horrifying power of the Thunder Ancestor.

"It’s actually the Thunder Ancestor." The Proud Hall Master frowned seriously, "I didn’t expect this old thing to be alive; no wonder the Thunder Immortal Sect dared to come to the Elder Council."

"Such a terrifying aura!" Wuliangzi’s face was full of dread, "The Thunder Ancestor’s power probably isn’t much weaker than the Sect Leader of the Star Ancient Sect."

"Late Stage of Demigod." The Burning Flame Sect Leader’s eyes flashed with a hint of dread, thinking, "This old thing’s power is becoming more and more terrifying."

The Purple Cloud Sect Leader said in horror, "The Thunder Immortal Sect actually has such a terrifying strong figure!"

"He... He is the Thunder Ancestor!"

"During the battle back then, he was so severely injured, yet he survived."

"It’s really the Thunder Ancestor! He’s still alive!"

The powerful figures from various major forces were all shocked, discussing fervently.

Tang Yuyan glanced at the Thunder Ancestor and Thunder Sect Leader, frowning coldly, "Who are you? The Elder Council of the Star Ancient Sect does not tolerate anyone causing trouble or acting wild!"
