Celestial Emperor of Devouring

Chapter 993 - 983: Heir of the Ancient Venerable

"If Xu Wu knew that Young Master Feng is actually the ancestor of the Star Ancient Sect, I wonder if he’d be scared to death on the spot!"Kuang Yunshan, full of excitement and expectation, said with a smile, "I’m curious which powerful force in the Divine Realm dares to help him."

The Star Ancient Sect is like a supreme emperor in the Divine Realm, and even peerless powers dare not easily offend the Star Ancient Sect.

At this moment.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Gu Chenfeng and Kuang Yunshan rapidly flew towards the Divine Realm, with a very simple goal, which was to kill Xu Wu.

After escaping to the Divine Realm, Xu Wu was filled with fear and anxiety.

Xu Wu knew that Gu Chenfeng would definitely come after him, and he had to quickly find a powerful force to protect him.

"I have some connections with the Great Elder of Thunder Immortal Sect; he should be willing to help! But it also depends on the ancestor of Thunder Immortal Sect," Xu Wu thought to himself as he quickly headed towards Thunder Immortal Sect.

But.

Even though he knew the Great Elder of Thunder Immortal Sect, Xu Wu would have to pay dearly to seek protection from a great power.

After all, so-called connections are merely relationships based on interests.

Soon.

Xu Wu arrived at Thunder Immortal Sect.

Under the guidance of a disciple, Xu Wu entered the grand hall of Thunder Immortal Sect smoothly.

Having been here before and being a Demigod-level expert, no disciple dared to stop him.

In the grand hall.

Seeing Xu Wu come in, the Great Elder of Thunder Immortal Sect laughed merrily and said, "Xu Wu, it’s been some time since you last came to Thunder Immortal Sect."

Xu Wu showed a bitter smile and clasped his fists helplessly, saying, "I’ve recently encountered some trouble, and my life is in danger. I’ve come today seeking help, hoping the Great Elder will spare my life for the sake of our acquaintance. I am willing to offer the Seven-Colored Immortal Spirit Stone."

"Seven-Colored Immortal Spirit Stone!" The elders of Thunder Immortal Sect exclaimed in surprise, and upon seeing the stone in Xu Wu’s hand, their eyes flashed with astonishment and greed.

As elders of Thunder Immortal Sect, they were well aware of the rarity and preciousness of the Seven-Colored Immortal Spirit Stone, which is truly hard to come by.

Most importantly, the Seven-Colored Immortal Spirit Stone contains exceptionally vast and pure Power of Heaven and Earth.

The existence of the Power of Heaven and Earth is far stronger than Immortal Power.

Even an Immortal Venerable, let alone a Demigod-level expert, would dream of obtaining a Seven-Colored Immortal Spirit Stone.

With good luck, just one Seven-Colored Immortal Spirit Stone could help its absorber gain powerful Power of Heaven and Earth.

The Great Elder was utterly shocked and said, "You actually possess such a rare treasure!"

Xu Wu smiled bitterly and said, "I happened upon it by chance in the Infinite Celestial Tomb, but unfortunately, I cannot enjoy it."

"Very well!" The Great Elder motioned with his hand, and the Seven-Colored Immortal Spirit Stone flew over to him as he readily agreed, "Since you are so sincere, our Thunder Immortal Sect will protect your life."

Xu Wu was overjoyed at heart and quickly expressed gratitude, "Thank you, Great Elder; I am immensely grateful for the life-saving grace."

The Great Elder laughed happily and said, "Since we are acquainted, there’s no need to be so polite."

Without the Seven-Colored Immortal Spirit Stone, the Great Elder might not have been so straightforward.

Xu Wu was very clear on this point.

However.

Relying solely on the protection of the Great Elder and others from Thunder Immortal Sect was simply not enough.

Xu Wu knew better than anyone how terrifying Gu Chenfeng’s Ancient Divine Power was; even Thunder Immortal Sect alone would not be able to do anything to Gu Chenfeng.

Xu Wu had to seek a stronger existence to ensure his safety.

This was Xu Wu’s true purpose.

Thus, Xu Wu used the rare and hard-to-find Ancient Immortal Artifact as bait, asking Thunder Immortal Sect to request the ancestor at the Late Stage of Demigod to step out.

"What? Ancient Immortal Artifact?" Upon hearing about the Ancient Immortal Artifact, the elders of Thunder Immortal Sect exclaimed in shock once again.

If it were an Immortal Artifact, they might not have been so shocked, as Thunder Immortal Sect had quite a few.

But an Ancient Immortal Artifact was a different matter entirely.

The existence of an Ancient Immortal Artifact is rare and sought after, even beyond the reach of peerless powers.

If they could obtain an Ancient Immortal Artifact, the strength of Thunder Immortal Sect would be greatly enhanced.

"Indeed." Xu Wu nodded, "The Ancient Immortal Artifact was also obtained in the Infinite Celestial Tomb."

The Great Elder frowned deeply and asked seriously, "Xu Wu, who exactly have you provoked that even with your Demigod Realm cultivation, you cannot handle?"

The Great Elder finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

Other elders also had their expressions grow serious at this moment.

"Indeed." Xu Wu nodded, "This person’s name is Gu Chenfeng; his cultivation level is not high, but he possesses a very Mysterious Power. This force is terrifying enough to let him contend with a Demigod-level expert!"

"Contend with a Demigod-level expert?"

"Is there such a terrifying power in the Immortal Realm? That’s impossible, right? Could there really be such a terrifying force?"

"The strongest power in the Immortal Realm is none other than Ancient Immortal Power, but such a powerful force is only found in the Ancient Sect."

Several elders were shocked, having never heard of a force that could contend with Demigod experts.

Xu Wu frowned seriously and said, "It was he who injured me."

"Gu Chenfeng?" The Great Elder frowned deeply and asked in confusion, "That name sounds familiar; isn’t it the name of the Ancient Venerable?"

With thousands of years of history in the Divine Realm, Thunder Immortal Sect naturally knows the name of the Ancient Venerable.

"That’s right." Xu Wu smiled bitterly, "He is the successor of the Ancient Venerable, also called Gu Chenfeng. He obtained the power of the Ancient Venerable and, due to the decline of the Immortal Mansion, intends to kill me."

"The successor of the Ancient Venerable!" Several elders were greatly shocked, their eyes nearly popping out.

They couldn’t believe that even after Gu Chenfeng’s ascension for nearly ten thousand years, there was still a successor in the Immortal Realm.

Looking at the hugely shocked elders, Xu Wu continued, "He gained the Mysterious Power of the Ancient Venerable, making him extremely terrifying. If Thunder Immortal Sect’s ancestor could kill Gu Chenfeng, this Mysterious Power would belong to the ancestor."

Hearing this.

The astonished Great Elder thought to himself, "Xu Wu is trying to use a borrowed knife to kill. Although the Ancient Venerable ascended ten thousand years ago, dealing with his successor is equally dangerous."

"But if the ancestor obtained the Ancient Immortal Artifact and Gu Chenfeng’s power, he could undoubtedly dominate the Immortal Realm, and even Ancient Power would be trampled underfoot."

Thinking of this.

The Great Elder said seriously, "Xu Wu, this is a significant matter, and I cannot decide on my own; I need to consult with the ancestor."

Xu Wu clasped his fists and said, "Then I’ll trouble the Great Elder."

The Great Elder nodded towards one of the elders: "Elder Three."

The Third Elder nodded and said, "Alright, I will now request the ancestor to come out of seclusion."

The Third Elder activated his Immortal Power and quickly formed seals with his hands.

In the grand hall, he soon set up a powerful Array and placed an Immortal Artifact at the center of the Array.

As the Array activated, an extremely terrifying aura emanated from it.

A moment later.

An elderly white-haired man walked out from the void.

He emanated a very terrifying aura, having reached the Late Stage of Demigod Realm.

The elder was indeed the ancestor of Thunder Immortal Sect.
