Free Web NovelChapter 116: Great Orders
Outside the cave estate.
Sword intent filled the heavens as a group of Ascendants arrived riding flying blades. Their razor sharp aura churned the sky itself, as though they could split heaven and earth apart with a single strike.
A Wandering Ascendant who had been drawn here by the phenomenon shivered from head to toe beneath the overwhelming pressure.
"The Cosmos Sword Order... Swordmaster Celestius!"
With an Immortal Legacy appearing, the great powers of the realm were naturally the first to react. In terms of speed, the Cosmos Sword Order’s Swordflight Arts surpassed even the flight techniques of ordinary Ascendants.
Swordmaster Celestius stood at the pinnacle of the sword path. His cultivation was unfathomable, and his mastery of the blade was unrivaled. The title of Heavenly Sword was no empty honor.
"An Immortal Legacy..."
His eyes narrowed as he prepared to enter the cave estate.
Before he could take a step, a host of graceful women descended from the heavens like celestial maidens.
At their center floated a woman veiled in silk. Bathed in silver moonlight, she drifted through the sky with ethereal elegance. Even the veil could not conceal her breathtaking beauty.
"No need to rush," she said in a voice as clear as moonlit water. "Once the various Orders have gathered, we can discuss matters and investigate together."
Moonveil Court.
Swordmaster Celestius frowned slightly.
Now that another Great Order had arrived, barging in first would only make him a target later.
"Moonveil is right," he said calmly. "There’s no need to be hasty."
Just then—
Boom!
A bolt of heavenly lightning crashed from above.
Countless streaks of lightning followed behind it, crossing the sky in an instant before revealing a group of Ascendants.
At their head strode a broad shouldered man wrapped in crackling thunder.
"Hahaha! Swordmaster Celestius! Moonveil! It’s been far too long. What a pleasure to meet again today!"
Lightning danced across his body.
The man was built like an iron tower, radiating overwhelming dominance with every movement.
Moonveil inclined her head.
"So it is Master Tempest of Stormpeak Citadel. It has indeed been a long time."
Swordmaster Celestius glanced at him.
"You’ve improved since we last met. Your command of heavenly lightning is stronger than ever."
Master Tempest laughed heartily.
"I’ve gained a few insights, nothing worth mentioning."
Not long afterward, two more Great Orders arrived.
One was the Divine Path Order.
The other was Astral Hall.
Of the newcomers, the representative of Astral Hall was the most surprising.
He possessed none of the lofty bearing one would expect from an Immortal Realm master.
Round faced and smiling, he greeted everyone warmly. His manner was smooth and worldly, more like a successful merchant than a legendary cultivator.
His name was Prosper.
Thus, he was known throughout the realm as Master Prosper.
The Cosmos Sword Order.
Moonveil Court.
Stormpeak Citadel.
Divine Path Order.
Astral Hall.
Together with the still absent Skyspire Order, these were the six greatest powers of the Celestial Arc Realm.
Compared to the others, however, Astral Hall’s foundation was noticeably weaker.
The reason was simple.
It was an emerging power founded entirely by players.
Compared to the ancient Orders whose histories stretched back countless generations, Astral Hall had existed for less than five thousand years.
Its foundation naturally lagged behind.
No guild could establish itself among the realm’s greatest powers unless every member dedicated themselves fully to the Immortal Ascension world.
The gap was simply too large.
Astral Hall’s rise to prominence was only possible because the Four Great Guilds had worked together.
Within the Immortal Ascension world, they acted as one.
They belonged to the same Order.
Lacking enough top tier experts, they compensated with numbers.
Lacking a true Sovereign Relic, they poured unimaginable wealth and resources into forging an imitation.
Only after five thousand years of effort had Astral Hall achieved its current status.
It had not come easily.
Prosper was an S Rank core member of Black Flag and served as its primary representative within the Immortal Ascension world.
He was also one of Astral Hall’s four Immortal Masters.
Even back in the guild, he had excelled at commerce and intelligence gathering.
His prosperous appearance suited him perfectly.
He did not merely look like a businessman.
He actually was one.
"Prosper!"
Suddenly, two figures burst from the gathered Wandering Ascendants and headed straight toward Astral Hall’s formation.
Prosper blinked.
Very few people addressed him so casually.
Turning around, his eyes widened.
His scalp went numb.
"Hahahaha!"
Derek grinned broadly.
Guy looked even more excited.
"Prosper! We finally found the main group!"
"Hiss..."
Prosper instinctively took two steps backward.
The sudden appearance of these two nearly scared him half to death.
Why were these disasters here?
The pair were infamous throughout the guilds.
It had started during Evolution Showdown, where Derek’s catastrophic luck first revealed itself.
Then came Heroes and Magic.
From that point onward, the two had become inseparable.
Everywhere they went, chaos followed.
After Super Universe, they obtained the Fusion Technique.
To prevent their power levels from drifting too far apart and rendering the technique unusable, they made a decision.
From then on, they would always play together.
Their growth would remain synchronized.
Thus, the Twin Calamities were officially born.
Anyone who had ever worked with them understood exactly how terrifying that combination could be.
Even Knox, who had once dismissed the rumors, had become a believer.
Nowadays, the Heavenfall Twins were infamous across all four guilds.
Every core member knew their names.
Most preferred to avoid them entirely.
Very few were willing to enter the same game world as them.
The guild headquarters in Super Universe was still undergoing reconstruction.
Since returning now would mean starting over from scratch, the pair had chosen to remain elsewhere until the rebuilding was complete.
That was how they ended up in the Immortal Ascension world.
After overcoming countless difficulties and receiving assistance from Astral Hall’s branch, they finally reunited.
Then they traveled thousands of miles to reach this place.
At last, they had found Prosper and rejoined the main force.
Their long journey had not been in vain.
"Ahem."
Prosper forced a smile.
He quickly pulled the two into Astral Hall’s ranks.
"Once this matter is settled, I’ll host you properly. For now, head back to Astral Hall first. Things are probably about to get violent here."
Guy waved dismissively.
"No problem."
Derek looked toward the cave estate.
"So this really is an Immortal’s cave?"
"Most likely."
Prosper nodded.
"We’ll know soon enough."
With a flick of his hand, a stream of divine light enveloped the pair and sent them toward Astral Hall.
Since Skyspire Order still had not arrived, the Great Orders decided to wait no longer.
Yet before any of them could enter the cave estate, a concealed aura suddenly shot outward from within.
Several Immortal Realm masters were present. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Escaping under their watch was nothing more than wishful thinking.
Prosper casually raised a hand and released a streak of light.
Bang!
With a muffled explosion, a tiny Soulbound Spirit no larger than a fist was forced into the open before everyone’s eyes.
It was none other than the Worldbinder Realm elder.
