Free Web NovelChapter 2565: Chapter 2565: The Mysterious Immortal
Although Fairy Minyue spoke with disdain about the young disciple of the Spirit Crane Sect winning with an Immortal Artifact, she understood that being able to wield a high-level Immortal Artifact is indeed a display of an Immortal’s power. Yuliu Immortal King’s defeat was not without reason.
The remaining two duels took several hours without a decisive outcome, possibly because the strengths of the disciples on both sides were quite similar.
Disciples of the Spirit Crane Sect and the Immortal Bow Hall were wide-eyed, nervously watching the Immortal Platform, waiting for the result of the upcoming battle.
Especially the disciples of the Immortal Bow Hall, everyone below the two elders was silently praying.
For the Immortal Bow Hall, this battle would determine whether they could remain among the top ten Immortal Sects for the next sixty years.
If they won this battle, they would have a chance in the final showdown.
But if they lost, they would leave in disgrace, losing significant benefits in the coming sixty years.
This is a result that any sect among the top ten Immortal Sects would absolutely not want to see.
"We will definitely win!"
Lianyue Fairy’s lively and clear voice resounded, her expression full of confidence.
After Lianyue Fairy stepped down from the Immortal Platform earlier, she searched for Fang Bai’s whereabouts. Later, Fang Bai transmitted to her, asking her not to acknowledge him for now, suggesting they should wait until they enter Sword Gorge for training.
Additionally, Fang Bai assured Lianyue Fairy that he would help them secure a place among the top ten Immortal Sects.
Therefore, Lianyue Fairy was brimming with confidence.
"Yes, we will win for sure!"
Fairy Minyue followed with a statement.
"We will definitely win!"
All disciples of the Immortal Bow Hall echoed in unison.
They were boosting their morale, soothing their nerves while building momentum.
"Haha, such a weak voice, must be feeling guilty knowing you’ll lose, right?"
"We Spirit Crane Sect will surely win this battle!"
"From today on, we will have a place among the Western Desolate’s top ten Immortal Sects!"
"You can scurry back to the Immortal Bow Hall!"
"After sixty years, feel free to challenge our Spirit Crane Sect, where we’ll crush you!"
...
Not far away, the disciples of Spirit Crane Sect laughed and mocked relentlessly.
The disciples of the Immortal Bow Hall were not to be outdone, immediately retorting.
The outcome of the fourth duel on the Immortal Platform was yet to be determined, but the disciples of both sects engaged in a fierce verbal battle below the Immortal Platform.
Thousands of disciples from other Immortal Sects watched with cold eyes, some secretly amused, others fanning the flames, eager for the two major sects to escalate from verbal to physical conflict, both suffering heavy losses.
"Look quickly, the formation is disappearing!"
A disciple from an unknown sect suddenly shouted.
As the voice resonated, the Spirit Crane Sect and Immortal Bow Hall disciples, who were engaged in fierce argument, immediately ceased their quarrel, held their breath, and refocused on the Immortal Platform.
On the Immortal Platform, the formation shield of a duel area trembled continuously, indicating that within a few short breaths, the shield would vanish.
The disappearance of the shield also presaged the result of the fourth duel.
"Ancestor, please ensure victory..."
Yunxiao Immortal Emperor muttered to himself, despite being a high-rank powerhouse in the Immortal Emperor Realm, feeling so tense his fists were clenched, throat dry.
"Aha... Senior Brother Yuanyi won! Senior Brother Yuanyi won!"
A female disciple of the Immortal Bow Hall, upon clearly seeing the situation on the Immortal Platform, burst into tears and laughter, overwhelmed with joy.
The other disciples of the Immortal Bow Hall were also ecstatic, cheering loudly, clapping, or embracing each other tightly.
Even Yunxiao Immortal Emperor and Fairy Minyue couldn’t suppress their excitement, raising their fists in triumph.
On the Spirit Crane Sect side, it fell into silence.
Most Spirit Crane Sect disciples originally believed with confidence that the victory of this fourth duel would surely belong to them.
Some Spirit Crane Sect disciples even had their hands raised high, ready to clap and celebrate for their fellow disciples’ victory over the opponent.
But when the formation disappeared, and they saw the Immortal standing on the Immortal Platform turned out to be Yuanyi Immortal King of the Immortal Bow Hall, their movements and smiles froze.
Amid the cheers from dozens of Immortal Bow Hall disciples, Yuanyi Immortal King descended from the Immortal Platform.
Many sect’s immortals found it strange that Yuanyi Immortal King’s face, at this moment, didn’t show much of a victor’s joy but rather curiosity and bewilderment.
After stepping off the Immortal Platform, his gaze searched around, his expression thoughtful.
"Yuanyi, what’s going on?"
Upon Yuanyi Immortal King’s return to the Immortal Bow Hall’s camp, Yunxiao Immortal Emperor asked concernedly.
Fairy Minyue also stared at Yuanyi Immortal King, thinking that this disciple usually had a somewhat lively temperament and should be overjoyed after winning such a critical battle. But looking at his current demeanor... it seemed he encountered something inexplicable?
"Elders, during the battle..."
Yuanyi Immortal King paused, realizing his words couldn’t be overheard by other immortals, thus switched to transmitting to the two elders before him: "Actually, during this battle, the disciple was under pressure from the Spirit Crane Sect’s disciple from the start. If not for an Immortal’s assistance, the disciple would surely have lost..."
Yunxiao Immortal Emperor and Fairy Minyue exchanged surprised glances, both furrowing brows.
"What exactly happened? Tell us in detail..."
Fairy Minyue transmitted.
Yuanyi Immortal King nodded, saying, "When the disciple fought evenly with the Spirit Crane Sect disciple for about a thousand breaths, my stamina weakened. Just as defeat seemed imminent, a voice of an Immortal suddenly entered the disciple’s ears, pointing out flaws in the Spirit Crane Sect disciple’s secret technique. Seizing those flaws for a counterattack, I reversed the disadvantages..."
"Later, the Immortal mentioned that the secret techniques I cultivated had numerous shortcomings and guided me, thus enhancing my battle strength by twenty percent, and clinched this victory..."
Recalling the mysterious Immortal’s guidance which enlightened him and surged his battle strength, making him, though not invincible, at least rarely encountering a match among Immortals of the same realm, his face finally brightened with a hint of joy.
At the same time, admiration for the mysterious Immortal welled in his heart, believing this Sword Gorge journey was worthwhile; getting guidance from the mysterious Immortal was indeed a great fortune.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the mysterious Immortal’s guidance ameliorated many deficiencies in his cultivated Immortal Technique Secrets, set to benefit him throughout his life.
Upon hearing Yuanyi Immortal King’s account, Yunxiao Immortal Emperor and Fairy Minyue were utterly shocked and incredulous.
The Immortal Technique Secrets that Yuanyi Immortal King cultivated came from tens of thousands of years of inheritance from the Immortal Bow Hall. Although it does have many deficiencies now, that mysterious Immortal was able to see through it across the formation on the Immortal Platform and provide guidance, incredibly astonishing.
Many high-ranking officials of the Immortal Bow Hall are aware that the Immortal Technique Secrets they currently cultivate are greatly deficient compared to when their ancestors established the Immortal Bow Hall, but it’s an unavoidable issue. Even the current leader of the Immortal Bow Hall, the Zigong Immortal Emperor with a peak cultivation level in the Immortal Emperor Realm, couldn’t refine those Immortal Technique Secrets.
Therefore, it can be affirmed that this mysterious Immortal’s cultivation level must be extremely high, at least not weaker than the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
