nChapter 1590: Four Immortals

nEditor: Atlas Studios

nThe crimson aurora of the Fifth Star Ring’s sky was far from ordinary, filled with unparalleled mystery.

nAfter all, it covered the entire Fifth Star Ring!

nBeyond the extraordinary nature of the aurora itself, twelve patrollers from the Immortal Capital resided within it year-round.

nThese twelve were all Lower Immortals.

nHowever, they didn’t appear easily. They only descended when there was a calamity that affected the Fifth Star Ring.

nAt that moment, the aurora disappeared and the patrollers were hidden.

nThis was because… the second stage of the Immortal Capital’s trial had reached a critical point…

nA point that required the guardians of four starfields to emerge.

nIn the pitch-black sky, the four stars that had appeared were rising from the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Starfields of the Fifth Star Ring.

nIn the south was the Great Immortal Mountain!

nWithin the grand silver palace on the mountain, an elder in silver robes emerged. This elder, radiating an aura of immortal grandeur, was surrounded by a mysterious mist that moved with him as he ascended towards the clouds.

nHis cultivation that shook the world and stirred time merely spread out slightly, but it caused the sky to surge, displaying the might to split the world apart.

nThis old man was none other than the ancestor of the Great Immortal Mountain, the Azure Peak Immortal Lord!

nHe was also the appointed guardian of the Southern Starfield… His cultivation base was Lower Immortal!

nAs he ascended, his figure grew taller, and the silver light emanating from him grew ever brighter.

nEventually, it illuminated the entire Southern Starfield.

nHe became the sole source of light in the dark night without the aurora, visible to all beings in the south, who looked up in awe and reverence.

nSimultaneously, similar awe-inspiring events were unfolding in the Northern Starfield’s Sword Immortal Sect and Eastern Starfield’s Star Ring Tower.

nIn the north, a sword aura erupted, seemingly capable of slashing through the heavens and annihilating gods. This sword aura, a radiant beam, shot straight into the sky, cutting through all in its path with an unstoppable force, like a mountain-crushing, sea-parting wave of destruction.

nUnder this overwhelming sword energy, even Quasi-Immortals bowed their heads, Rulers trembled, and Soul Accumulation lost their spirit.

nThe endless sword light eventually coalesced into an immortal.

nHis sword was called Blue Teal, so people called him the Blue Teal Sword Immortal.

nDressed in blue, with gray hair and an ancient sword by his side, he ascended to the peak of the sky.

nIn the east, instead of a sword, a woman emerged. She had eyebrows like distant mountains, and eyes like autumnal water.

nShe wore an intricately embroidered palace robe, adorned with gold and silver threads that depicted lifelike dragons and phoenixes

nThe jade belt around her waist accentuated her graceful figure, and her long, jet-black hair cascaded like a waterfall, gently swaying in the wind and emitting a faint, delicate fragrance.

nHer every movement, every smile, seemed to pluck the deepest strings of one’s heart.

nAs she walked, her skirt fluttered lightly, and the beings of the Eastern Starfield bowed their heads, murmuring her name but daring not to gaze directly at her.

nStar Luan© Immortal Lord.

nFinally, it was the Western Starfield.

nWhen the astonishing figures from the other three directions had emerged, an unremarkable old man stepped out from within the Dao Immortal Sect in the West.

nHe wore coarse, mud-stained clothes, looking every bit like an old farmer, as if he had been interrupted while tending to his fields.

nReluctantly, he stepped forward, still holding a rough wooden staff.

nIt was his companion through years of toil.

nThe staff was covered in cracks, bearing witness to endless days of labor from dawn to dusk.

nHe shook his head as he ascended into the sky.

nHis steps were slow and laborious, as if each one crossed a lifetime.

nThere were no dazzling lights, no grand displays, just an ordinary, unassuming journey.

nThe afterglow of the radiance from the other three figures cast shadows across his wrinkled face.

nWhen he walked step by step to the edge of the sky and looked at the East, South, and North, a resonant voice came from the South—the voice of Azure Peak Immortal Lord.

n“Poison Monarch, you’re late!”

n“Every time, you’re the last to arrive. What, were you busy tending to your flowers and plants again?”

nStar Luan of the East also chuckled.

nAs for the Blue Teal Sword Immortal of the North, he didn’t say a word.

nHearing the Dao voices and looking at the three people who were separated by an endless distance, the old man looked a little impatient.

nThis was especially so when he saw that the bodies of these three parties were all shining like stars. The old man let out a cold snort and black light instantly spread out from his body, spreading out in the sky.

nJust like the supreme star, just like the other three parties, the light he emitted spread through the sky.

nHowever, compared to the other three parties which were either gentle, sharp, or cold, his light fused with the night sky and emitted a dense evil.

nIt was the complete opposite of the temperament he had displayed earlier. His voice was also cold.

n“I don’t have time to chat with you, and I don’t like the way you address me. If any of you dare to call me those two words I despise again, I won’t hesitate to add a few more poison-related Ordinances to your jurisdiction.”

nThe old man spoke sinisterly.

nHe had many names.

nVirtue Viscount, Vast Immortal Lord, Elder Great Immortal, and the Poison Lord.

nThe first three were names he gave himself, while the last one was bestowed upon him by others.

nUpon hearing the old man’s words, the Azure Peak Immortal Lord smiled slightly, while the Star Luan was deep in thought. However, the Blue Teal Sword Immortal slowly raised his head and stared at the Western Starfield before suddenly speaking.

n“You’ve reached the critical point?”

nAs soon as these words were spoken, Azure Peak’s expression froze and Star Luan’s eyes revealed a strange glint.

nWhen it came to the Blue Teal Sword Immortal, the Poison Lord of the Dao Immortal Sect, who resembled an old farmer, clearly had more patience. Upon hearing the other’s words, he slowly nodded.

n“I’ve already touched that line, but I’m still missing a part of the karma.”

nIt was as though he wasn’t willing to say anything more. However, after saying this, the Poison Lord’s expression became impatient.

n“Hurry up. Don’t waste time.”

nThe Blue Teal Sword Immortal narrowed his eyes but didn’t ask further.

nSeeing this, as the person who opened the liner duty this time, the Azure Peak Immortal Lord of the Southern Region slowly spoke.

n“Since everyone is here, according to the rules of the Immortal Capital, it’s time to activate the inheritance segment of the second stage of the trial. This way, the hunt will be more intense.”

n“If we can eventually select promising candidates, it would be a great achievement for us, allowing us to shorten our time as guardians and return to the Immortal Capital sooner.”

nWith that, the Azure Peak Immortal Lord raised his hand. Immediately, a huge mountain peak formed by laws and rules materialized beside him.

nIn an instant, it became a majestic peak, floating in the sky of the Southern Starfield.

nAll the people with tokens in the Southern Starfield could see and sense it!

nBlue Teal Sword Immortal in the north also raised his hand. Sword energy permeated the air, transforming into countless sword intent that gathered in the sky of the Northern Starfield, forming a sword rain that spread in all directions.

nIt was the same for the East. The inheritance from the Star Luan was a green ring.

nIts ancient aura and inherent mystery made the ring appear simple at first glance, but all those in the Eastern Starfield who held a token experienced a resounding shock in their minds upon seeing it.

nThe gazes here have swept over the eastern, southern, and northern starfields.

nThe Poison Lord of Dao Immortal Sect also raised his hand. Instead of displaying any divine abilities, he took out a black bamboo slip and crushed it in his palm.

nIn an instant, black light spread from the bamboo slip.

nThe sky, already black after the disappearance of the aurora, became even darker as his previously emitted light was also black, merging into the surrounding darkness.

nHowever, the black light released from the shattered bamboo slip surpassed all else, as if it was the truest essence of blackness—the very source of darkness. Compared to it, the previous night sky seemed almost bright.

nNow, as it spread, the entire Western Starfield was completely pitch-black.

nAll the light in the world was about to be extinguished and they couldn’t exist during this time.

nIt was the same even for spells and Dao arts that formed light.

nThis scene was completely different from the other three starfields. All living beings could see the inheritances of the other three starfields.

nHowever, in the west, all one could see when they raised their heads was pitch-black.

nThis scene also attracted the attention of the other three guardians. All of them had strange expressions.

nThey were well aware that there was actually an unspoken mutual understanding in the inheritance segment of the second stage of the Immortal Capital’s hunting trial.

nThis was because the inheritance that spread out had to be unique. In other words, after taking it out, if someone successfully comprehended it, even they wouldn’t be able to continue possessing it.

nAlthough it was called an inheritance, it was actually the same as the Dao Mark Authority and contained a trace of Ordinance!

nHence, it was self-evident how precious it was.

nHence, most of these inheritances were prepared for their disciples. Only those they acknowledged could easily comprehend the essence.

nHowever, on the surface, the token holders in guardian’s starfield could comprehend it. It was just that they weren’t recognized, so the difficulty was naturally astonishing. The possibility of success was extremely small.

nThey couldn’t comprehend the essence.

nThis unspoken mutual understanding had continued for countless years.

nHowever, they still needed a pretense.

nBut now… the Poison Lord here had even discarded the pretense.

nThe inheritance within the black light emitted by the bamboo slip required not only the token but also possessing specific attributes to comprehend it.

nOther than specific people, the others didn’t even have a chance.

n“Forget it, this old guy has always been protective of his own. His Western

nStarfield also has a shortage of talents. Such a method…”

nAzure Peak shook his head and ignored this. With a sway of his body, he disappeared without a trace.

nThe other two sides were the same.

nAs for the Poison Lord of the Dao Immortal Sect, he had long left.

nAt that moment, the sky of the Fifth Star Ring rumbled and the inheritances shone in the three regions.

nOnly the Western Region was pitch-black.

nIn this darkness, to the east of the center of the Western Region, on the vast land, there was a restricted area of the Li family.

nThere were 9,000 tall towers here.

nIt formed an astonishing ancient array formation.

nThe tall tower in the center was a million feet high, piercing through the night and extending deep into the sky.

nThere was a person sitting cross-legged on it.

nIt was the only star in the West among the eight stars of the Fifth Star Ring.

nLi Mengtu.

nAt that moment, he raised his head and stared at the night sky.

nHe knew that this was an opportunity given by his master.

nOnly he could comprehend this.

n“Once I succeed, I will have five authorities. Moreover, this one contains a trace of Ordinance. This will increase my chances of becoming an immortal in the future!”

nAt the thought of this, he took a deep breath and determination appeared in his eyes.

nHe was very clear that with his combat strength, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to enter the immortal realm. Once he became an immortal in the future, his family would completely rise!

nHis family had produced a Summer Immortal before. That was the ancestor.

nIt was rumored that his ancestor wasn’t a native cultivator of the Fifth Star Ring but someone from another star ring.

nIn the end, he perished here in obscurity.

nHis descendants continued his legacy, extending it to the present day.

nLi Mengtu was clear that this rumor… was true.

nHis clan was already in a poor state. Yet, through sheer talent and relentless effort, he fought and struggled through battles, ultimately joining the sect of the West’s Lower Immortal.

n“I want to continue walking!”

nAt the thought of this, Li Mengtu stared at the sky and began to comprehend.

nAt the same time, on the Main Dao Cliff, Xu Qing was also looking at the sky.

nHe stared at the night that suddenly descended.

nVaguely, he seemed to have seen a huge flower.

nOn each petal was the face of a peerlessly beautiful woman.

n“This is…”

n
