Chapter 2910 Ten Clans Alliance

Xia Zhi went back inside the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron with a smile. This was the first time Lin Xun had seen a smile stay on her face for so long and moreover, it was so bright. Rubbing his lips in a tranced moment, he laughed. One day, he would definitely marry Xia Zhi in style!

For cultivators, seclusion was pretty much a daily routine. The higher the cultivation level, the longer the time one spent in each secluded session, which could vary from a few decades to thousands of years.

Time seemed to fly when one was in seclusion. The thirty-sixth year into Lin Xun’s secluded session, a huge event stirred up the world.

The Ten Immortal Giants in the Eighth Heaven Domain came together and formed the Ten Clans Alliance. Wang Zhongtian, the patriarch of the number one Immortal Giant Wang Clan, would act as the alliance leader, and the other nine Immortal Giants’ clan heads were appointed as vice leaders.

The establishment of the Ten Clans Alliance threw the world into turbulence. Many undercurrents started to surge.

Afterward, the various Immortal Imperial Clans in the Seventh and Eighth Heaven Domains each received a decree personally written by Alliance Leader Wang Zhongtian.

The content was concise: Either come under the wings of the Ten Clans Alliance and do its bidding, or become an enemy!

It was like a stone thrown into a still lake. In the face of the ferocious, undisguised threat from the Ten Clans Alliance, almost all of the Immortal Imperial Clans who received the decree chose to submit.

It was said that within just three months, hundreds of Immortal Imperial Clans in the Seventh and Eighth Heaven Domains become subordinates of the Ten Clans Alliance!

Such news reached every corner, covering the atmosphere of all the upper heaven domains of the Eternal True Realm in tension.

“A storm...is coming!" Many elder figures were anxious.

Any knowledgeable person could see that the establishment of the Ten Clans Alliance preceded a monstrous war. It would have been impossible to carry out such an aggressive and large-scale mobilization otherwise.

What left people trembling was the fact that all ten loftiest powers in the Eighth Heaven Domain were working together.

After all, putting aside the virtually mythical Ninth Heaven Domain, the Ten Immortal Giants held the highest authority in the Eternal True Realm! It was no exaggeration to say that each of them was a supreme hegemon by itself.

Now that the Ten Immortal Giants had joined hands to form an alliance, it was enough evidence that whatever they were going to deal with was extraordinary!

Some pinpointed it, “This is them turning completely hostile toward the Origin Sect. They are going to wage a war!”

Several decades ago, a great cleansing operation had swept through the Origin Sect. From what the rumor said, all its high-ranking members who came from the Ten Immortal Giants had been slaughtered as a result!

This gave rise to the premonition that the establishment of the Ten Clans Alliance was a move to target the Origin Sect.

“The Origin Sect holds lofty status and possesses a Divine Rank law. Only a behemoth like it can force the Ten Immortal Giants to band up. In the end, whichever one of them alone is strong enough to go against the Origin Sect?” someone analyzed.

“When immortals fight, mortals suffer. Since the storm clouds have gathered, the calamity won't be far behind.”

“This world is destined to be in chaos!”

......

The establishment of the Ten Clans Alliance left an impact too heavy. As time passed, the whole First to Eighth Heaven Domain ended up hearing about it, which created numerous uproars.

The Ten Immortal Giants intending to face off with the Origin Sect was definitely a grand and once-in-a-blue-moon occurrence even in the history of the Eternal True Realm!

Ever since its great cleansing operation ended, the Origin Sect had closed all passageways connecting to the Origin World as if isolating itself. However, for the bigwigs in the sect, it was as easy as flipping their hands to get news from the outside world.

Therefore, word about the Ten Clans Alliance quickly reached the ears of the Origin Sect. For this reason, Xuan Feiling and a group of deputy pavilion masters specially held a private meeting.

Their reaction was calm, as it was something they had long expected.

“Ten Clans Alliance, heh. They'll be renamed to Misstep Alliance real soon, since they've definitely made the wrong step with this!”

This was Dugu Yong’s assessment that sent the other deputy pavilion masters into a fit of malicious laughter.

Xuan Feiling’s eyes were cold. “They are building momentum. If my guess is correct, they will definitely make other moves in the next period of time. But there’s no harm in that. Even if Heaven gives them the guts, they would never dare to start a war with our sect at a time like this.”

The crowd nodded. The alliance of the Ten Immortal Giants was indeed intimidating, but it did not intimidate the Origin Sect.

When a war of this scale truly broke out, what would be put to completion wouldn't be the number of troops. What actually mattered was how many experts who could influence the overall outcome one had.

For example, Nirvana Spirit existences were considered the mainstay of the Immortal path, and they could run rampant in all the major heaven domains. However, once encountering a Transcendence existence, they would be as powerless as ants.

No matter how many Nirvana Spirit Immortals one party had, it could not match the threat posed by a single Transcendence figure.

Nowadays, the Ten Immortal Giants were acting all fierce, establishing a battle alliance and gathering all Immortal Imperial Clans for their use. While this made it look like they outnumbered the Origin Sect, the latter still had yet to deem it a serious threat.

“Brother Xuan, should we inform Lin Xun about this matter?” asked Fang Daoping.

Xuan Feiling shook his head. “Before wartime comes, it is not necessary to disturb his cultivation.”

He and the other old seniors were well aware that this calamity would only hit when Origin Clarity Pavilion Master You Beihai began realizing eternity. Because only then would the Divine Rank law enveloping the Origin World be disturbed by his Eternal tribulation, thus giving the enemy an opening to take advantage of!

Otherwise, with the protection of the Divine Rank law perfectly in place, even an Eternal will force wouldn’t be able to shake or break it!

“Speaking of Lin Xun, he has gone into seclusion for thirty-six years now. I wonder how far his cultivation has evolved,” Fang Daoping mused.

"He has the Eternal Supreme potential and the talent to match his heaven-defying attitude. In the Ten Directions Demon Realm, he made consecutive breakthroughs, going from the initial Nirvana Spirit stage to the initial Transcendence Stage in one trip. Without a question, these thirty-six years of seclusion will let him make a great leap!" Dugu Yong was full of confidence.

Yu Xing, Tong Chaoyun, Zhang Qianxi, and the other deputy pavilion masters shared the same opinion.

Recently, Lin Xun’s rapid progress had frequently shattered common perceptions and overturned imaginations. It had somehow convinced these old monsters that he would have a major breakthrough during this seclusion.

“Let’s not raise our expectations too high, everyone. We've all been grinding and refining ourselves in the Transcendence Stage for ages. Who here doesn't know how difficult it is to achieve a drastic improvement where we stand?”

Xuan Feiling sighed, "The Immortal Dao Battle in the Ten Directions Demon Realm allowed Lin Xun to achieve continuous breakthroughs in just ten years, but it was an unseekable opportunity. At the moment, there’s no other one like that, and all he can do is solidify his existing dao and earnest cultivation. It's destined to be impossible to advance so fast like before..."

This was tantamount to raining on everyone's parade, but Xuan Feiling wasn't wrong. The deputy pavilion masters present knew most clearly how difficult it was to cultivate at the Transcendence Stage. The oldest of them had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, while the youngest was already several ten thousand years old.

Despite that, their cultivation had stopped at the peak of the Transcendence Stage forever. Why was this? Because Transcendence was the final level of the Immortal road and the pinnacle of the Eternal Stage. Its difficulties were naturally far past ordinary.

Fang Daoping smiled. "Lin Xun was able to kill peak Transcendence cultivators when he had only just set foot in this stage. Even if he hasn’t made any breakthroughs in his cultivation over the past thirty-six years, he’s already no different from an apex expert in terms of combat strength. The likes of us, ahh, we don't have to worry about him at all."

The rest burst out laughing with sentiment. Just as Fang Daoping had said, Lin Xun’s battle prowess had long ceased to need them worrying over.

However, there was something they had no idea about. In the tenth year of his seclusion, Lin Xun’s cultivation had broken through to the intermediate level of the Transcendence Stage. Now, in the thirty-sixth year, he was steadily approaching the advanced level!

This kind of progress naturally couldn't compare to that during the ten years in the Ten Directions Demon Realm, but it was already world-shattering enough to be mentioned in the record of history!

......

Things went just as Xuan Feiling had predicted.

𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

In the second year after the establishment of the Ten Clans Alliance, Alliance Leader Wang Zhongtian announced that anyone related to Disciple Lin Xun of Fangchun Mountain Lin Xun was now wanted in the entire Eternal True Realm.

Those who provided clues would be heavily rewarded. Those who captured a target alive would be even more heavily rewarded. Those who secretly sheltered anyone who had ties with Lin Xun would have their entire clan exterminated!

As soon as this announcement came out, the world exploded. The thought-provoking part was that the Ten Clans Alliance used ‘Disciple Lin Xun of Fangchun Mountain' instead of ‘Origin Sky Deputy Pavilion Master Lin Xun of Origin Sect.’

Anyone with a bit of discernment would see right through this kind of petty trick. The alliance was simply trying to separate Lin Xun from the Origin Sect and isolate him!

It gave the public the impression that the Ten Clans Alliance only wanted to deal with Lin Xun and not the Origin Sect. Therefore, if the rest of the Origin Sect was wise, they had better obediently hand him over, or else don’t blame the alliance for viewing them as its enemy!

Although Xuan Feiling’s group had been prepared for this, they were still enraged upon receiving the news. Uncontrollable killing intent drifted around them.

After such an order from the Ten Clans Alliance was set forth, what happened next was foreseeable. Countless forces from the First Heaven Domain to the Eighth Heaven Domain would form to search for and capture people who had relations with Lin Xun!

Dugu Yong mused, "Already before dealing with Fu Wenli’s group, Lin Xun went to the Sixth Heaven Domain and properly arranged the Luo Clan members. His relatives back in the Ancient Nebula Road have also taken shelter in the Return Dominion. Under these circumstances, it should be impossible for the Ten Clans Alliance to have any gains.”

Fang Daoping agreed. “From the Great Thousand Battle Domain to the Eternal True Realm, then from the First Heaven Domain to the Seventh Heaven Domain, he killed his entire way up without the time or the chance to make friends with anyone. Apart from the Luo Clan, he actually made quite a few enemies instead. In my opinion, this matter need not be taken to heart.”

Xuan Feiling, however, shook his head. “We can't just rest easy. What if he still has friends or family we don't know in the Eternal True Realm, and what if they are captured?”

Everyone frowned. Indeed, one always had to watch out for the ‘what if,’ no matter how small the odds of it were.

As long as such a possibility came true, the Ten Clans Alliance would definitely get a hold of someone who they could use to threaten Lin Xun!
