Xue Yuntian and Xue Qiansha were taken aback when they heard this. It was well-known that Danilo Lujan had ties with Peter Parker, the revered Human Sovereign of the Divine Realm. Unless something unforeseen occurred, the ten great immortal sects were expected to dispatch someone to the Silent Blood Horizon to eliminate Danilo Lujan. Xue Yuntian was ready to instruct Xue Qiansha to command Danilo Lujan's disciples to scatter and conceal themselves to evade the impending calamity. They certainly hadn't anticipated Peter Parker's return to Danilo Lujan's sect. Going back to Danilo Lujan's sect under these circumstances was tantamount to courting death!
"Master, are we seriously considering going back to Danilo Lujan's sect right now?" Xue Qiansha asked tentatively after a brief hesitation.
"Don't worry. The ten great Immortal Sects won't strike that hastily. We'll head back to the Danilo Lujan Sect and observe the situation," Peter Parker reassured with a slight smile. "You should be able to contact the people I had you send to the Heavenly Star Universe, correct?"
He had wielded the final stance of the Green Emperor Sword Technique to deter the ten great immortal sects. With his cultivation at the zenith of the Overlord Realm, employing the Green Emperor Sword Technique could lethally threaten cultivators at the pinnacle of the Mahayana Realm. Moreover, when he brandished the Green Emperor Sword, the azure-clad sword immortal had cautioned Yuan Tian Lake of the Hunyuan Sword Sect that they might hesitate to confront him. If the Hunyuan Sword Sect refrained from attacking, the other factions of the ten great immortal sects would likely be wary of making any rash moves.
"They did leave a method of communication before departing," Xue Qiansha confirmed, his eyes lighting up as a realization struck him. "Master, are you suggesting we relay the current state of the Immortal Breaking Universe to the Heavenly Star Universe?"
In the recent clash at Primeval Saint City, Peter Parker had vanquished six cultivators from the Immortal Breaking Universe, all of whom were prominent figures within the ten great immortal sects. This was a significant blow to their collective strength.
If the Heavenly Star Universe were to catch wind of this news, they certainly wouldn't pass up the chance.
With the Heavenly Star Universe's support, even the Immortal Breaking Universe would find itself outmatched and unable to confront them.
Peter Parker gave a slight nod and said, "Let's give it a try."
Despite its focus on science and technology, the Heavenly Star Universe was no slouch in strength. It was more than capable of going toe-to-toe with the Immortal Breaking Universe.
Should the Heavenly Star Universe agree to lend their aid, together they could deal a crippling blow to the Immortal Breaking Universe!
Xue Qiansha inhaled deeply before saying, "Master, the device that made contact with the Heavenly Star Universe is within Danilo Lujan's religious group. We must hurry back to Danilo Lujan's cult as soon as possible."
Peter Parker nodded in agreement.
He had to make his way back to Danilo Lujan's sect and establish a connection with the Heavenly Star Universe. Ideally, they would be inclined to strike at Danilo Lujan's sect.
If not...
He feared that he might have to guide the Danilo Lujan Cult to seek temporary refuge in the Divine Realm.
...
Primordius Sword Sect.
Upon Yuan Wenjian's return to the Chaos Origin Sword Sect, he made his way straight to the Ancestral Hall, located deep within the sect's restricted area.
After lighting incense and making offerings to the ancestors, he wasted no time in extracting a drop of his Blood Essence to perform the Chaos Origin Sword Sect's Immortal Ascension Technique.
But...
When he executed the intricate hand seals of the Origin Questioning Sword, there was no response—it was as if he had cast a stone into the ocean.
"Why is there no response from the Immortal-Opening Technique of the Primordius Sword Sect? What's happening here?"
Yuan Tianchi couldn't conceal the confusion in his eyes as he observed the lack of reaction.
It was perplexing; even a Human Sovereign from the Realm of the Gods could use the Immortal-Opening Technique to summon immortals. So, why couldn't the Chaos Origin Sword Sect do the same?
Yuan Wenjian refused to accept defeat. He persisted, trying over and over again.
He used up several drops of his Blood Essence. After four or five attempts, his complexion had turned deathly pale.
Despite his best efforts, the Immortal Ascension Technique had failed yet again.
"This is impossible! I refuse to believe that I can't make it work!" Yuan Wenjian's face twisted with a wild desperation as he geared up to attempt the Immortality Illumination Art for the sixth time.
But just then, a subtle ripple of energy pulsed through the hall, and in the blink of an eye...
Yuan Tianchi materialized, as if from nowhere, in the center of the room.
He took in Yuan Wenjian's ghastly pallor and couldn't suppress a jolt of alarm. "Sect Master, has the Immortal Ascension Technique failed?"
"It's failed five times already," Yuan Wenjian replied, his voice strained as he readied himself for another attempt at the Immortality Illumination Technique.
Yuan Tianchi stepped forward, urgency lacing his words. "Sect Master, please, conserve your strength. If you persist, I fear the very core of your being will suffer irreparable harm."
After five consecutive failures, it seemed clear that further attempts would be futile.
With a stubborn set to his jaw, Yuan Wenjian voiced his frustration. "I simply cannot fathom why that Divine Realm Human Emperor can master the Immortal Ascension Technique, and yet we cannot."
"There are only two possibilities," Yuan Tianchi said thoughtfully. "Either the Immortal Path in the Immortal Breaking Universe is severed, and the Human Ruler's Art of Immortality from the Realm of the Gods is not bound by our universe's limitations, or there's an issue with the Ancestral Gate that our Chaos Origin Sword Sect once used to ascend."
"We must investigate immediately. Send someone to check with the other factions to see if they can perform the Immortal Opening Technique."
Yuan Tianchi inhaled deeply, his expression turning grave. If the first scenario were true, the Mixed Yuan Sword Sect could come to terms with it. But if the second held true, their standing in the Immortal Shattering Universe could be in jeopardy.
...
Since Peter Parker had unleashed chaos in the Chaos Origin Holy City, slaying six cultivators from the Immortal Breaking Universe, the Immortal Sect Conference had been abruptly terminated. The various immortal cultivation powers had vacated the city posthaste.
Out of a deep-seated fear of Peter Parker, the Chaos Origin Sword Sect, the foremost among the ten great Immortal Sects, had refrained from taking any action.
The Immortal Breaking Universe experienced a brief lull in activity.
However, this quietude was short-lived.
Roughly two weeks later, the ten preeminent immortal sects, spearheaded by the Limitless Immortal Sect and the Taiyi Immortal Sect, once again sent their experts to convene at the Chaos Origin Sword Sect.
Within the Chaos Origin Sword Sect stood a majestic hall, constructed from enigmatic limestone. Seated within were over ten individuals, each radiating an aura of immense power. They were all cultivators from the Mahayana Realm, with three among them exuding the pinnacle of Mahayana strength.
The figure of authority, a middle-aged man draped in golden robes, occupied the hall's principal seat. He was Yuan Wenjian, the Sect Leader of the Hunyuan Sword Sect.
"Sect Master Yuan, the Human Ruler from the Realm of the Gods has descended upon our Immortal Breaking Universe and consecutively slain six Mahayana Realm cultivators. We cannot simply overlook this aggression," stated a white-robed middle-aged man from the Limitless Immortal Sect, his voice carrying a subtle intensity.
He continued, "We are here with the hope that you, Sect Master Yuan, will guide us to the Silent Blood Horizon, obliterate the Danilo Lujan Sect, and address the issue of the Human Emperor from the Divine Realm."
This man was Zi Yunxiao, the current Sect Master of the Limitless Immortal Sect.
"The Human Sovereign of the Divine Realm poses a significant threat to our universe. It goes without saying that I am inclined to deal with him," Yuan Wenjian responded with a smile. "You are all undoubtedly aware of the events that transpired during the battle. The Human Ruler of the Divine Realm wielded the Immortal Breaking Technique. Do any of you have a strategy to counteract him?"
