Chapter 546: 518

Without knowing what he had discovered, he audaciously took Sister Zhao’s blood from the isolated space and began to examine it closely.

“Sect Leader, you!” Sister Zhao couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

“No worries!” Ji Changxi was shrouded by a layer of dark light, enveloping his body entirely.

Sister Zhao recognised in an instant that this unique divine light represented the Divine Technique “I Alone Am Supreme” from “The Scripture of the Great Way of Heaven’s Punishment”.

All different forms of energies, in front of this Divine Technique, are converted into entities controllable by the user.

She too, had practised this divine technique for a short period. However, now…

Lowering her head, Sister Zhao carefully concealed the ambition and dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Luckily, the Seniors from the Great Taoist Sect present were all focused on the blood drop in Ji Changxi’s hand. It appeared that no one noticed the anomaly within her.

Around Sect Leader Ji, dark light continuously appeared, encompassing the droplet of blood.

While the dark radiance continuously circulated, the blood droplet kept on being exhausted.

However, before Ji Changxi could analyse anything, a crisp coughing sound suddenly echoed beside him.

A touch of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

And this was just the beginning.

As if it triggered some sort of chain reaction, coughing noises that were uncontrollable and intermittent soon filled the Sect Main Hall – where the elites gathered.

“How is this possible?!” The Elders’ faces changed dramatically after personally experiencing the severity of this unknown disease.

“Fascinating, fascinating…”

“Wait, this seems to be…”

However, the elites in the Xuanhuang Cultivation Realm that managed to survive thousands of years were gathered here.

Soon, they each used their own methods to suppress the anomalies in their bodies.

Moreover, some even started studying it enthusiastically on the spot.

Seeing the elders behaving this way, both Li Fan and Sister Zhao exchanged a glance, feeling slightly relieved.

“Both its transmissibility and pathogenicity are extremely terrifying. Unprecedented in my life! I’m afraid that even the [Edict of Immortal Banishment] released by the Mystic Sky Sect as a desperate final effort in their dying moments can’t compare to it.” remarked an old man with white hair.

Li Fan only knew that this man’s name was Mo Zhiran, one of the elders in the Great Taoist Sect, specialising in the knowledge of medicine. He lived a simple and secluded life and stayed out of sect affairs. However, it’s said that the elixirs he concocted were of very high quality. Despite being an Integration Cultivator, he was even able to produce a flawed Creation Purple Gold Pill with seven to eight points of curative efficacy.

Once Mo Zhiran began talking, the other elders also openly expressed their views.

“This disease seems to take root completely once anyone comes in contact with it. It spontaneously strengthens itself in a cultivator’s body. Although milder cases are harmless, if it’s not suppressed in time, it could turn serious…”

“At best, it causes cultivators to lose their abilities, and at worst, it results in death!”

Upon hearing these words, the faces of everyone in the room immediately became solemn.

“I have tried more than a dozen methods just now. Even though all of them can quickly eliminate the disease symptoms, the root cause of the illness seems to never completely fade away. It continues to hide deep within the body. What is it exactly using to host itself inside the body? How strange…”

“We, the old ones, can easily suppress the disease due to our strength. But what about the disciples within the sect? Without medicinal aid, I’m afraid…”

“Firstly, laws cannot be practiced concurrently. After that,, this strange disease…”

“The path of Immortal Dao is closed, the future is bleak! Perhaps we should return from whence we came…”

“Lei Fanshi, watch your words there are juniors around!”

…

The grand Sect Main Hall, a place of solemnity and reverence, was now buzzing like a vegetable market.

Both Li Fan and Sister Zhao merely kept their heads down, daring not to show any signs of abnormality.

“Everyone!”

To attract everyone’s attention, a voice rang out.

The grand hall instantly fell silent.

“I have a theory.” The Sect Leader of the Great Taoist Sect, Ji Changxi spoke solemnly.

“Some of you may have already discovered this, the reason why this so-called strange disease is so unexpected is due to it being a new law born in Heaven and Earth.”

“It’s what we call, the Principle of Heaven and Earth. Moreover, it’s different from [Laws Cannot be Practiced Concurrently].”

“It is caused by a cultivator himself!”

Upon hearing this bombshell, Li Fan and Sister Zhao instantly lifted their heads and intently stared at Ji Changxi. Their spirit consciousness was suddenly hit by a storm.

Caused by a cultivator?

Contrary to the Logic of Heaven and Earth?

You must understand, ever since the Law Transmission and Longevity were proved, the laws of Heaven and Earth could only be created with new methods.

Although a large number of Integration Cultivators started to emerge in the world, not a single one managed to contravene the Logic of Heaven and Earth and break through to the Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Dao Ten Clans have countless heroes.

Despite experimenting for decades, not a single prodigy has been successful.

It shows how difficult it is to contravene the Principle of Heaven and Earth!

However, according to the Sect Leader Ji, a cultivator has managed to attain to the Immortal Realm without alerting anyone.

Who could it be?

Although the Immortal Dao Ten Clans may have their own agenda, they still maintain a line of communication. The promotion to the Immortal Realm is a major event and even if they don’t announce it before the event, after successfully upgrading to the Immortal realm, they would surely send a message to inform all the clans.

Furthermore, this newly promoted Immortal Sovereign seems to contravene the principle that ‘plague does not harm cultivators’.

This near-enemy-like approach is definitely not the doing of a cultivator from the Immortal Ten Clans.

Who would dig their own grave?

Therefore, who could it be that not only managed to promote themselves to the Immortal Realm but also wishes to extinguish all cultivators in the world?

This is an outright provocation and declaration of war.

Not only Li Fan and Sister Zhao.

The elders within the Grand Hall along with Ji Changxi’s eyes also reveal traces of uncontainable murderous intent.

“Investigate! We must get a clear answer!”

“Even if this person is an Immortal Sovereign, such conduct cannot be pardoned!”

“I will immediately arrange a meeting with the other leaders of the Immortal Sects and communicate this news. Meanwhile, at the Immortal Alliance…” Ji Changxi paused.

“We will also send someone to inform them and probe their reactions.”

“The entire Xuanhuang World’s top forces shall unite. I refuse to believe that we can’t bring the culprit to justice!”

“While we search for the main culprit, we also need to be on guard against this disease. Starting from today, the Medical Hall will be operating at full capacity. We must ensure a sufficient elixir supply in our Great Taoist Sect.”

“As for outside the Great Taoist Sect…”

Ji Changxi paused for a moment.

“After going through numerous tribulations, our Great Taoist Sect has also suffered heavy losses. We fear that we might have some difficulties in protecting ourselves…”

“Let them fend for themselves.”

All the Elders nodded slightly, expressing no objections to Sect Leader Ji’s decision.

“I will try if I can find a way to alleviate the symptoms of the disease.” A hint of anticipation showed in Mo Zhiran’s eyes.

“If I can completely dissolve its damage to the cultivators, that would be equivalent to contravening the Principle of Heaven and Earth.”

“In doing so, my hope of reaching the Immortal Realm may not be in vain.”`He murmured.
