Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Yun Yudie asked perplexed, "A strong presence that can emit such pressure, isn’t it an Immortal Emperor?" Follow current novels on novel-fire.ɴet
Lu Chen replied, "That previous aura was somewhat reminiscent of the aura from extraterrestrial beings."
Lu Chen had refined the residual soul of Fen Xiao, an extraterrestrial being, and had accessed some of Fen Xiao’s memories, hence his familiarity with their aura.
The aura contained the power of extraterrestrial beings, so it’s likely that it’s the pressure from them.
The thought of the other party being extraterrestrial, and possibly seeing them as a foe, made Lu Chen’s expression turn exceptionally solemn.
If it truly is an extraterrestrial being that has escaped, then he might be in trouble. He increasingly feels that he’s the one who sealed them and created the Tianyan Immortal Domain.
Although he hasn’t recovered his memories from his previous life, considering his access to a system and the series of events, he must have connections with the creator of the Tianyan Immortal Domain.
Even Fen Xiao had mentioned his divine soul came from beyond, and the suspected extraterrestrial being, the Blood Ancestor, is searching for him. Coupled with his earthly memories and the fact he’s gathered the Heavenly Heart now, he indeed resembles the creator of the Tianyan Immortal Domain.
If he truly is the creator, with his strength yet to be restored, being recognized by those extraterrestrial beings would certainly lead to their revenge.
Currently, Lu Chen harbors a significant doubt if he’s truly the creator of the Tianyan Immortal Domain, why would he choose reincarnation?
Those extraterrestrial beings have survived until now; a creator of the Tianyan Immortal Domain should be far stronger, with a longer lifespan, having no need for reincarnation.
Reincarnation holds too many uncertainties; if discovered by enemies, it could lead to a chase and elimination.
Noticing Lu Chen’s grave expression and apparent knowledge of the Tianyan Immortal Domain’s secrets, Yun Yudie asked, "Extraterrestrial beings? How do you know?"
Lu Chen snapped back to reality, rubbed his brow and realized worrying now serves no purpose; he needs to keep a low profile from here onward to avoid detection by extraterrestrial beings.
If he truly is the creator of the Tianyan Immortal Domain, with more sealed extraterrestrial beings breaking free, his situation will only become increasingly perilous.
Lu Chen then answered, "During my exploration of the Southern Domain’s small world, I encountered some information about extraterrestrial beings."
"That presence earlier strongly resembles the aura of those extraterrestrial beings I encountered in that small world."
Yun Yudie fell into contemplation; if it is extraterrestrial beings, how should they confront it?
Should they follow the Hidden Moon Sect’s orders, or unite with other forces to resist?
After some thought, Yun Yudie turned her gaze towards Lu Chen, "What’s your plan?"
She had little opinion on addressing extraterrestrial beings, unsure of the best approach.
As Mysterious Moon Palace is currently bound by Great Qin Dynasty’s fortune, Lu Chen’s decisions will affect the palace. Besides, since Lu Chen seemed to possess more knowledge, she decided to follow his lead.
Lu Chen stated, "For now, follow the Hidden Moon Sect; they possess Immortal Emperor-level entities, and we’re no match. Let’s see what the sect intends to do upon their emergence."
Though extraterrestrial beings loom, they’re not bizarre creatures, so no need for excessive fear.
Deep in the wilderness, within the small world occupied by the Hidden Moon Sect.
A giant several thousand feet tall stood at the world’s center, while an old man dressed in a black robe stood upon its shoulder, overlooking everything within.
The Hidden Moon Sect Leader was brimming with enthusiasm, despite not breaking through to become an Immortal Emperor, by refining this Divine Corpse he attained equal strength.
Currently in the Tianyan Immortal Domain: there’s a Demon Emperor in the Northern Domain, Xiyue Immortal Emperor in the Eastern Domain, and chaos in the Southern Domain. The Hidden Moon Sect believes their time for emergence has finally arrived.
His plan is straightforward: first control the wilderness, gradually infiltrate the Southern Domain, control it, then divide the world with the Demon Emperor and Xiyue Immortal Emperor.
As for the Central Domain, he hasn’t planned to interfere; since he’s not an Immortal Emperor, the area is left for the Demon Emperor and Xiyue Immortal Emperor to contest, perhaps allowing the Hidden Moon Sect to profit from their mutual defeat.
The Hidden Moon Sect Leader then conveyed to the Immortal Venerate members, "Gather at the Hidden Moon Hall for a meeting."
Although he’d earlier transmitted through the Divine Corpse to all in the wilderness, not all forces might choose to surrender to the Hidden Moon Sect, especially those forces migrated from the Northern Domain.
If those forces won’t join, the Hidden Moon Sect will resort to force.
Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable sat on the Immortal Throne, gloomily surveying the Immortal Venerates below; none spoke, casting a heavy atmosphere over the hall.
When Azure Dragon Hall moved to the wilderness, they were aware of the Hidden Moon Sect’s existence. To unify the wilderness and become its overlord-level influence, they sought to defeat the hidden sect.
Yet unexpectedly the Hidden Moon Sect surfaced themselves, though Azure Dragon Hall took no joy from it.
The sect possesses Immortal Emperor-level presence; with such great power, Azure Dragon Hall not only fails to dominate the wilderness, but faces potential absorption.
After a long silence, Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable finally spoke, "Any thoughts are welcome."
At these words, the Immortal Venerates glanced at one another, still mute.
Given the situation, apart from surrendering, Azure Dragon Hall sees no other path. The pressure felt earlier indicates the Hidden Moon Sect certainly possesses Immortal Emperor-level prowess.
Standing against an Immortal Emperor is impossible; it’s better to submit sooner.
That’s the prevailing thought among the Immortal Venerates.
At this moment, an Immortal Venerate stepped forward, "Hall Master, this might be a beneficial thing for us."
Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable squinted, "Beneficial?"
The Immortal Venerate explained, "If we ally with the Hidden Moon Sect, with their backing, the Demon Emperor daren’t target Azure Dragon Hall."
These words snapped the Immortal Venerates to realization; indeed, the Hidden Moon Sect boasts Immortal Emperor-level might.
By joining them, even if the Demon Emperor wished to seek retribution, he’d have to consider the sect’s great power’s consent.
Currently, Azure Dragon Hall’s Immortals lived in constant fear of the Demon Emperor’s sudden vengeance. Embracing the Hidden Moon Sect offers relief from this anxiety.
Of course, every gain bears a cost; doing so means losing autonomy, with future decisions dictated by the sect.
Yet survival outweighs Demon Emperor’s vengeance, the cost isn’t significant.
Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable contemplated in silence, as a leader of an overlord-level force, unwilling to become a subordinate.
Previously, he commanded others; now, he’d serve someone else. A difficult adjustment.
However, preserving Azure Dragon Hall takes precedence now; joining the Hidden Moon Sect is undoubtedly wise.
The Immortal Venerate who spoke initially fell silent, returning to waiting, when Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable sighed deeply.
The situation surpasses personal desires; reluctance bears no weight.
First preserve Azure Dragon Hall.
With this resolution, Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable declared, "Spread the word, we’ll pledge allegiance to the Hidden Moon Sect, becoming their subordinate force."
