Starting With 100 Million Lives
Chapter 1024: A Ray of Light Amidst Chaos
In a certain location within the Primordial Immortal Realm, two groups of immortals were confronting one another.
Five on one side, three on the other, barely considered evenly matched.
However, one side was dressed in distinct attire, while the other was clearly from a certain sect.
"This valley was obviously discovered by the three of us first."
"We’ve been cultivating here for four thousand years."
"Since when did it become the territory of your Celestial Wolf Sect?"
"Absolutely ridiculous!"
After the Primordial Immortal Realm reformed, due to the gathering of the Three Thousand Origins and the restoration of the Heavenly Dao, many places became cultivation treasure lands.
These treasure lands were either rich with Immortal Qi, had special rules effects, or were more suitable for Enlightenment.
Newly emerged treasure lands were mostly ownerless.
It all depended on who discovered them first and who occupied them first.
Like the three brothers discovering this valley.
However, accompanying these discoveries were numerous disputes and conflicts.
After all, who wouldn’t want to possess such treasure lands?
The five disciples of the Celestial Wolf Sect were just Outer Disciples, their cultivation at around Emperor Realm Third Layer, not even comparable to the three.
Yet, their confidence was overflowing.
"This is clearly a treasure land of our Celestial Wolf Sect, discovered fifty thousand years ago!"
Facing the three brothers who arrived first, they immediately started fabricating stories.
The three brothers immediately retorted.
"You’re lying, when we arrived, no spirit had ever set foot here."
"Exactly, if it belongs to your Celestial Wolf Sect, why is there no one, nor any Array Restriction here?"
"Clearly nonsense!"
The leading disciple of the five smirked slightly, sarcastically saying, "This is our forbidden area, is it not permissible to prohibit all disciples from entering?"
"You three trespassed into our Celestial Wolf Sect’s forbidden area, what crime should you bear?"
The three brothers were infuriated by this bandit logic, with smoke coming out of their seven orifices.
The other party not only wanted to arrogantly occupy the treasure lands they discovered but also falsely accused them of a crime?
"Outrageous!"
The youngest of the three drew his weapon with a clang.
In the current Primordial Immortal Realm, where the Three Thousand Origins converged, single-rule True Artifacts could still be used but were considered obsolete.
Currently, Daoist Artifacts were popular in the Immortal Realm.
Daoist Artifacts, because they contained Daoist Rhyme and could support multiple rules, were far more powerful than True Artifacts of the same tier.
Essentially, they were an advanced version of Immortal Artifacts.
This person wielded a Tier Two Dao Artifact produced from the Realm of True Artifacts.
As soon as the artifact was summoned, the aura around the valley immediately turned solemn and murderous.
"Stop!"
"Third Brother, don’t act impulsively!"
The other two hurriedly stopped him.
The youth who summoned the Dao Artifact was furious; "The Celestial Wolf Sect bullies too much, they must be taught a lesson!"
But the five disciples of the Celestial Wolf Sect remained unruffled.
The leader even pointed at his neck.
"Come, chop here!"
"See if you have the guts to chop, I dare you."
The faces of the three brothers turned grim.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t beat these five Outer Disciples of the Celestial Wolf Sect, but they feared the Celestial Wolf Sect behind them, a sect with Emperor Realm Sixth Layer experts.
They were Emperor Realm Fourth Layer and couldn’t afford to provoke them.
The leading disciple retracted his neck, his face suddenly cold.
"If you don’t dare, get lost!"
"Treasure lands belong to the capable, having lived so long, don’t you understand this principle?"
The three were full of resentment, unwilling but helpless.
At this moment, a clear and cheerful laughter suddenly echoed from the sky.
"Hahaha, this fellow Daoist is wrong!"
"Treasure lands belong to the virtuous, how did it become for the capable?"
"Who?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The face of the leading disciple turned cold: "Here, who dares disrespect our Celestial Wolf Sect?"
Soon, a young man in a cyan robe with a simple and upright face appeared in the field.
As soon as this person appeared, the five Celestial Wolf Sect disciples immediately retreated a step.
While the three brothers felt immense joy.
"It turns out to be the renowned Ganlin Immortal Xiao Huai, Fellow Daoist Xiao!"
"You came, this is wonderful!"
"Now someone can uphold justice for us!"
Known as Ganlin Immortal, Xiao Huai had power in the late-stage Emperor Realm Sixth Layer, higher than the Sect Master of the Celestial Wolf Sect by a Small Realm.
Moreover, this person was always eager to promote justice and loved righting wrongs.
Such traits were exceedingly rare in the Cultivation Realm.
Precisely because they were rare, they were precious.
Over the years, Xiao Huai had helped countless wandering immortals seek justice, standing firm against the pressure from several sect clans surrounding the area.
His presence was like a ray of light in a muddied world.
Thus, he was deeply admired and loved by the multitude of Loose Immortals.
Some immortals he helped even erected Golden Bodies in his honor.
"Xiao Huai, you repeatedly thwart our Celestial Wolf Sect’s plans, aren’t you afraid of dying a violent death in the future?"
Xiao Huai twirled the Daoist Artifact in his hand and laughed aloud: "We immortals should prioritize justice, why would I fear mere powerful authority?"
"I heard everything just now."
He pointed his Daoist Artifact at the five disciples on the opposite side: "Your Celestial Wolf Sect is a billion and three hundred thousand miles away from here, this place does not fall under your jurisdiction!"
Then pointed to the three brothers at the back: "This treasure land was rightfully discovered by you three, you are completely free to cultivate here."
The five Outer Disciples of the opposite side were both angry and anxious, yet afraid to act.
If they truly infuriated Xiao Huai, he really would kill.
This person feared no sect’s pressure, once having the bravery to single-handedly challenge a sect’s mountain gate.
Encountering him, they had no choice but to back down.
"Well, quite well done!"
"We will report this matter upwards!"
"Let’s see how long they can occupy!"
The five left harsh words behind and departed in disgrace.
The three brothers became worried as well, Xiao Huai might come once, but it didn’t mean he would come again next time.
But before they could speak, Xiao Huai seemed to have anticipated the hardship the three were facing.
He handed a piece of Immortal Talisman to the leader among the three.
"If the Celestial Wolf Sect comes over, feel free to shatter this talisman, I will arrive instantly!"
Not only helping them stand up but also dealing with the aftermath, the three brothers were genuinely moved to tears.
"The name of Ganlin Immortal is well deserving!"
"We will remember this kindness, and repay it someday!"
Xiao Huai waved his hand, softly saying, "I am not helping you, just defending justice, you need not thank me."
With that, he transformed into a long rainbow and vanished into the sky.
Little did he know, far above, through layers of billowing clouds, the Immortal Mother was quietly watching his figure.
Her beautiful eyes held both scrutiny and contemplation.
For Xiao Huai, this was merely one of his countless acts of justice, not worth remembering for long.
Yet this time, there was indeed a difference.
Three days later, the Immortal Talisman he left was shattered.
"Has an incident occurred?"
"Did the Celestial Wolf Sect go over?"
