Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 596 - 328: The World Trembles, Power Spreads Across the Four Seas!

The crucial point is that he had to bring gifts and personally apologize. To be honest, he really didn’t want to go.

As for Ji Rui, he’s at least a Quasi-Great True Monarch. Can’t he save some face?

However, when he looked up and saw the unchanged gaze in Senior Brother Snow Dragon’s eyes, the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back again.

"Senior Brother Snow Dragon, Ji Rui is willing to go."

Ji Rui bowed his head and said.

Seeing this, Great True Monarch Snow Dragon’s expression relaxed slightly. He nodded and said, "Then I’ll trouble Junior Brother Ji."

This matter was settled.

After a few more words with Ji Rui, Great True Monarch Snow Dragon watched Ji Rui leave the great hall in a somewhat dazed manner, a slight chill in his eyes.

He was, of course, not afraid of Qi Chuan.

A person who just entered the Great True Monarch Realm was not enough to instill fear in Great True Monarch Snow Dragon.

However, he had always been cautious in his actions.

Without intending to immediately make a move against Qi Chuan and the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, he adhered to his habit of showing an ambiguous attitude to confuse the other party.

Primarily, there were no entangled interests.

If one day, the two faced off due to some interest.

Then Great True Monarch Snow Dragon would not hesitate to teach Qi Chuan a lesson about the power of his Frost Snow Spirit Flood Dragon!

...

At the same time.

In the Celestial North State, Ancient Spirit Sect.

Deep within the Ancient Spirit Mountain Range, inside a Tier Four Cave Mansion, the atmosphere was very quiet.

In a stone chamber hall, Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit lay on a large chair, coldly looking at the jade slip in his hand.

Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit appeared as a middle-aged man, adorned in a high-tier luxurious magic robe, with dense eyebrows and a gaze like swords, appearing slightly thin, though this did not detract from the terrifying True Monarch Spiritual Pressure emanating from him.

And standing in front of the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit was a figure in a golden robe with an extremely unsightly expression.

If Qi Chuan were here, he would undoubtedly recognize this person at a glance as Jin Wuchen, the Quasi-Great True Monarch of the Ancient Spirit Sect with whom he had prior dealings.

After examining the information in the jade slip for a while, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit finally set it down, speechless.

"Senior Brother, we may all have been tricked by that Qi Chuan!"

Jin Wuchen opened his mouth with an iron-green face and said.

"He has now advanced to the Great True Monarch Realm, and the last time wasn’t too long ago. Back then, he must have already had Quasi-Great True Monarch cultivation, just concealing it with a profound Concealing Breath Divine Technique, making it undetectable by me and Junior Brother Ji Feng."

"The thing inside the Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon must have been taken by him!"

Jin Wuchen gritted his teeth.

The last incident felt very strange to him, entirely wrong, though he couldn’t figure out why.

After returning to the Ancient Spirit Sect, he was reprimanded by Senior Brother for losing a treasure.

Now, after learning about Qi Chuan’s advancement to the Great True Monarch, everything made sense.

It had to be Qi Chuan doing something behind the scenes!

"Senior Brother, Qi Chuan has wronged our Ancient Spirit Sect and must pay the price!"

Jin Wuchen said hatefully to the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit.

The Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit heard this and coldly looked at Jin Wuchen, saying, "What, do you want our Ancient Spirit Sect to risk everything and start a sect war with the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect?"

Jin Wuchen hesitated, remembering that the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect was now a Peak Strong Sect.

"Senior Brother, that Qi Chuan has just advanced. His power surely can’t match up to Senior Brother’s..."

"Even so, he is a Great True Monarch, and the consequences of provoking a Peak Strong Sect are too significant to act rashly."

The Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit glanced at Jin Wuchen.

"Understood..."

Jin Wuchen lowered his head and made a hand salute, saying, "May I ask, then, how does Senior Brother intend to deal with Qi Chuan and the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect?"

The Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit fell into contemplation.

After a while, he looked at Jin Wuchen and said, "This task requires Junior Brother Jin to go, concerning the grand ceremony of Great True Monarch Qi Chuan’s advancement..."

The Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit explained his plan to Jin Wuchen.

By coincidence, it turned out to be the same decision made by Great True Monarch Snow Dragon.

However, upon hearing this, Jin Wuchen’s expression immediately changed as he firmly said, "Senior Brother, I don’t want to go."

With Jin Wuchen’s personality, he couldn’t demean himself.

The Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit looked at Jin Wuchen, whose expression remained unchanged.

He nodded slightly, saying, "Alright, if you don’t want to go, so be it. Let Ji Feng go."

"Junior Brother Ji Feng probably doesn’t want to go either..." Jin Wuchen said instinctively with a hand salute, but on second thought, he changed his tone, "Never mind, Junior Brother Ji Feng might want to go. I’ll inform him later."

"Alright, let’s leave it at that." The Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit nodded.

Subsequently, in the stone chamber hall, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit and Jin Wuchen talked for a while longer before Jin Wuchen finally turned and left.

"Qi Chuan..."

Watching Jin Wuchen leave, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit’s expression turned cold.

Within his heart, an icy frost circulated.

Unlike Great True Monarch Snow Dragon.

Back then, although Great True Monarch Snow Dragon had summoned Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch to hunt a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beast without result, the accidental escape of the beast was not the fault of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, so there was no interest conflict between the two.

However, Qi Chuan had indeed snatched a treasure from the hands of the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit.

Between the two, there truly existed a conflict of interest.

That treasure was extraordinary, even the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit wasn’t willing to let it go, as it was of significant impact.

Therefore, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit would undoubtedly make a move against Qi Chuan and the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.

But the exact timing of the move was merely a question of opportunity.

"I hope that thing won’t burn your hand..."

"Taking something from the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit means you should prepare to pay the price..."

The Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit murmured to himself.

...

Meanwhile, in Little Youzhou, within the Profound Nether Cave, the Great True Monarch Profound Nether.

In the Extreme West State, in the Light Spirit Sect, the Great True Monarch Guangling.

In Yuezhou, within the Five Poison Sect, the Great True Monarch of Five Poison.

And also in the Celestial North State, at the Gu King Hall and Liu Clan.

Even within that Divinity Transformation Influence in the Celestial North State.

In total, across the nineteen states in the Celestial North Domain, almost all the Great True Monarchs learned immediately that Qi Chuan of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect in Beihua State had advanced to the Realm of Great True Monarch.

Although the reactions and calculations varied among these Great True Monarchs from different influences, more or less scheming was involved.

Upon learning this news, these Great True Monarchs were inevitably shocked.

No one could have imagined that the previously obscure Beihua State and the low-profile Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect would emerge as a dark horse, suddenly producing a Great True Monarch, becoming a Peak Strong Sect, and entering the vision of everyone across the nineteen states.

Everyone was greatly surprised.

Even among the Early and Middle Stage of Nascent Soul influences within the nineteen states, which were not Peak Strong Sects, there was envy and jealousy upon hearing this news.

Moreover, the news spread far, even reaching the Chaotic Demon Sea, where powerful influences also learned of it, stirring waves.

Nonetheless, regardless of how these people reacted, it did not change the fact that Qi Chuan had advanced to the Great True Monarch Realm, and the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect had become a Peak Strong Sect.

Henceforth, Qi Chuan and the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect would present themselves with a new face on the stage of the nineteen states in the Celestial North Domain and even the Chaotic Demon Sea.

...

While the nineteen states of the Celestial North Domain and even the vast Chaotic Demon Sea were in an uproar due to his breakthrough to the Great True Monarch Realm,

At this moment, Qi Chuan was oblivious to the matters outside his window, focusing solely on staying within his Tier Four Cave Mansion.

In the secluded stone chamber within, he sat cross-legged on the bed, eyes closed, constantly comprehending the twelfth layer of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique in his mind, attempting to derive a new Sword Dao Divine Technique from it.

Qi Chuan believed that this step, barring any surprises, would proceed smoothly without encountering any difficulties.
