Ninety-Nine Monsters in Immortal History!

Ninety-Nine Monsters in Immortal History!
Guyue Fangzheng was equally surprised by Yun Yao’s decision.
He had already prepared for the worst.
Now, things had turned out far beyond his expectations.
He had no idea what that female sword immortal was thinking.
“Young Master!” The two Mahayana Venerables helped Guyue Fangzheng to his feet.
Guyue Fangzheng waved his hand.
“No need to worry.
That senior has shown mercy—staying at Azure Cloud Sect for a thousand years is nothing.” He had already planned to spend some time at Azure Cloud Sect to build a closer relationship with Zhang Xuan, so he saw no issue with it.
Every disciple of an ancient power would travel the world and visit distant lands to broaden their horizons.
He had simply set out while his cultivation was still relatively low.
Now that he had encountered that female sword immortal and could remain at Azure Cloud Sect, from a different perspective, this might even be an opportunity.
“Then, Young Master, the situation here…” One of the Mahayana Venerables hesitated.
Guyue Fangzheng paused for a moment before speaking.
“Report everything truthfully to the family.
I believe they will understand.” His gaze was deep, clearly indicating he had thought of many things.
The legacy of Sword Venerable Cangming had emerged, and Yun Yao’s sword immortal lineage had been revealed.
This would undoubtedly cause quite a stir in the Taiyi Realm.
That female sword immortal had shown no intention of silencing anyone, and clearly had no plans to keep it hidden.
As for why she appeared at the Tribulation Transcendence realm… Guyue Fangzheng could only admit he couldn’t see through her.
The calculations of immortals were something he couldn’t yet perceive.
Afterward, the two Mahayana Venerables withdrew.
One returned to the Central Region to report, while the other concealed themselves outside Azure Cloud Sect.
As for entering Azure Cloud Sect?
At an immortal’s dwelling, he wouldn’t dare set foot inside without permission.
Zhang Xuan also approached Guyue Fangzheng and teased, “Brother Guyue, now you understand the importance of keeping a low profile, don’t you?” Guyue Fangzheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking rather disheveled.
However, the other party’s attitude of kneeling on command still surprised Zhang Xuan somewhat.
In the past, he had encountered many disciples of ancient powers, and most were the arrogant type—looking down on everyone with pride baked into their bones.
This Guyue Fangzheng, on the other hand, was willing to set aside his dignity.
Zhang Xuan then looked at the Azure Cloud Sect elder sitting on the ground nearby and asked, “Elder, I’m now a disciple of Azure Cloud Sect.
Where should I go?” An outer sect elder snapped back to attention and cupped his fists toward Zhang Xuan.
“Young Master is the Sect Master’s direct disciple.
You should enter the main peak where the Sect Master resides, to be personally taught by the Sect Master.” “Oh?
And where is the main peak?” “Over there.” Zhang Xuan looked in the direction the elder pointed and saw the tallest mountain deep within Azure Cloud Sect.
“Thanks!” He thanked the elder and prepared to head over.
Things had changed, and he needed to think about what to do next.
He didn’t have time to stand around here.
But after just two steps, he stopped and turned back to the elder who had shown him the way.
“Um, Elder, could you take me there?
It’s a bit far.” Elder: … The elder finally realized that Zhang Xuan was still a mortal.
Azure Cloud Sect might not be large, but the distance from here to the main peak would take Zhang Xuan several years to walk.
Logically, since the Sect Master had taken a disciple, she should have brought him along when she left.
Why had she abandoned her own disciple?
The elder was somewhat confused.
Zhang Xuan also scratched his nose in embarrassment.
The little girl must still be angry.
Then the elder led Zhang Xuan away.
Meanwhile, the disciple acceptance ceremony continued, with other elders bringing out a new Spirit Testing Stele.
However, many of the subsequent disciples who were tested kept rubbing the Stele over and over, as if trying to rub something out of it.
“Brother Guyue, I’ll be heading off then,” Zhang Xuan called out to Guyue Fangzheng before following the elder away.
Guyue Fangzheng was arranged for by the other elders.
Things at Azure Cloud Sect had temporarily settled down, but the matter of Zhang Xuan activating the supreme sword intent from the Spirit Testing Stele was far from over.
… Taiyi Realm, Central Region.
This was the heart of the Taiyi Realm, its territory more vast than the four corners of the realm combined.
The Central Region was home to countless powerhouses, immortal lineages, and numerous ancient powers.
But the moment the supreme sword intent was activated by Zhang Xuan, countless immortals were alarmed.
“What is that?
What terrifying sword intent!” “It seems to be from the direction of the Southern Region.
That aura has surpassed an immortal.
Has a sword cultivator in the Southern Region achieved immortality?” “Sword intent that shocks the heavens—this person’s strength is no less than mine!” That day, the immortals of the Central Region all looked toward the Southern Region, filled with suspicion and unease.
A sword cultivator had achieved immortality in such a remote place?
In the future, the Central Region might gain yet another sword dao sect.
The immortals discussed this matter at length, all curious about who this person could be.
As for those below the immortal realm—even Tribulation Transcendence Venerables couldn’t sense that sword intent.
The distance was simply too great, so everything remained peaceful.
Beyond the curiosity of ordinary immortals, the ancient powers’ old monsters were mostly puzzled.
“This sword intent… it feels quite familiar.
I feel I’ve read a description of it in some ancient text?” “Supreme sword intent.
This isn’t someone achieving immortality—it’s more like preserved sword intent being activated.” “Find out for me!
I want to know where this sword intent comes from!” In an instant, numerous ancient powers dispatched their forces in secret, heading to the Southern Region to investigate.
When the reports came back, the ancient powers were shaken.
“What?
It’s that person?!” “Sword Venerable Cangming’s legacy has emerged?
His lineage is based in the Southern Region?
The sword venerate’s disciple is the Sect Master?!” “A disciple of the Guyue family has been detained at Azure Cloud Sect in the Southern Region?!” The news spread like wildfire among the upper echelons of the Central Region, and Azure Cloud Sect directly entered the sight of the Central Region’s top circles.
There was nothing to be done.
Any force with records of immortal history could not ignore that name—Sword Venerable Cangming!
Though he was not a cultivator of the Taiyi Realm, his name had spread across the Nine Heavens and Ten Domains during his era.
While such figures were not rare in history, every single one was a heaven-defying monster who dominated their age!
An immortal from the Boundless Realm had once calculated that, over the past several hundred thousand years, exactly ninety-nine such extraordinary prodigies had appeared.
Each one was utterly extraordinary.
Of course, Zhang Xuan had no idea that anyone had actually counted such things.
If he had known, and were willing to reveal his identity, he would surely have said something like: “Hey!
Those ninety-nine prodigies are all me.
Surprised?
Didn’t see that coming?” Over hundreds of thousands of years, geniuses had fallen like rain, streaking across the pages of immortal history like brilliant meteors.
It seemed to herald the coming of a grand era.
Ninety-nine was the ultimate number.
Now, with the emergence of Sword Venerable Cangming’s legacy, it seemed to signal that the true grand era was about to unfold.
In an instant, ancient prodigies who had been sealed away by various ancient powers began to awaken from their slumber, as if to compete in this grand destiny.
These were all prodigies who had been suppressed by Zhang Xuan in ages past.
Unable to surpass him, they had been forced to seal away their lifespans and enter hibernation.
Now, one by one, they were awakening.
Some were even prodigies who had been active before Sword Venerable Cangming’s era, now stepping out from their secluded grounds into this age.
In an instant, the Central Region was thrown into an uproar.
Most forces had no idea what was happening.
They only felt that the Central Region had suddenly become far more lively.
Such a massive movement in the Taiyi Realm naturally could not be hidden from other realms.
But the ancient powers of the Central Region were in tacit agreement, unanimously sealing away all information regarding Sword Venerable Cangming and Yun Yao.
In the struggle for the grand destiny, gaining even one step ahead could mean staying ahead in every step.
Of course, this information wouldn’t stay hidden for long.
The entire Nine Heavens and Ten Domains would sooner or later enter an era of madness.
At that moment, in the Central Region—the Eternal Guyue Family.
Guyue Bo, the patriarch, sat in the seat of honor, his expression grim.
