Floating Immortal Order

Chapter 277: Moon Ghost Sect

TL: Sponsored chapter (5/5)

"Greetings, Supreme Spirit Master!"

The members of the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance came back to their senses, their expressions turning respectful and fearful as they greeted him in unison.

Casting a casual glance at Zhang Duoyu, whom Xu Disheng had placed on the celestial turtle, Shao Huangnian pondered for a moment before speaking. "Indeed, the Dawndusk Territory and the Mang Mountain Territory have almost been thoroughly purged. The Administration Hall has issued orders for most Supervising Primordial Lords and Supervising Spirit Masters to head towards the Moon Ghost Sect in the Profound Yin Territory."

The Moon Ghost Sect was one of the peak-level forces in the Profound Yin Territory. It was located at the edge of the Territory, but it occupied nearly half of its landmass. It also shared a border with the Dawndusk Territory, making it the first formidable adversary the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance encountered in its rapid expansion!

The Moon Ghost Sect not only had several Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords who were in the middle of transcending the Heart Demon Heavenly Tribulation, but they also had over ten Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords. By relying on the legacies left by Divine Sea stage beings that had been produced by the sect over countless years, they were a force that refused to surrender to the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance.

The eight peak-level powers within the Dawndusk Territory and the Mang Mountain Territory were forcibly united under the threat of Heavenly Lord Mo Yu, so their cohesion was as loose as sand, filled with undercurrents of discord.

Those overlord sects and large-scale forces that had already pledged allegiance to the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance were easier to manage, having no real say and being thoroughly disbanded and segregated. However, aside from the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect, the other seven peak-level powers were not so easily swayed and remained resistant, secretly defying the Alliance except for a few monstrous geniuses who had no choice but to join one of the Administration Halls.

Now, with most of the two Territories already cleansed in the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance's mad expansion, the battle against the Moon Ghost Sect was imminent. Heavenly Lord Mo Yu would no longer tolerate their idleness, issuing the first Dawndusk Daoist Order through the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance. He rallied the eight peak-level powers and dozens of overlord sects, forming ranks of over fifty Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords, hundreds of Primordial Lords, and several thousand Divine Core stage Spirit Masters. This assembly stirred the balance of the power of heaven and earth, casting a shadow that blotted out the sun and carried with it a tremendous heavenly might as it marched towards the Moon Ghost Sect.

There were five Territories in the Central Region of the Human Realm. Aside from the Dawndusk Territory and the Mang Mountain Territory which were currently under the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance's control, the remaining three Territories were all keenly observing the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance, with the impending battle against the Moon Ghost Sect attracting the attention of all within the Central Region!

Although the Moon Ghost Sect only had over ten Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords, they would receive continuous support from the peak-level forces and overlord sects from the three other Territories of the Central Region, increasing their numbers of Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords to several dozen. Everyone understood the principle of mutual dependence for survival, and several extremely prideful Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords boasted that they wanted to challenge Heavenly Lord Mo Yu, saying that they wanted to help the Divine Sea stage being to weigh his strength.

In such a monumental battle, even Primordial Lords were the minimum level required to participate. The Divine Core stage Spirit Masters of Administration Hall were not there to directly engage in the battle but to lead the ordinary Divine Core stage Spirit Masters in cleaning up the battlefield and purging the remnants afterward.

The outcome of the battle against the Moon Ghost Sect would ultimately depend on the Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords.

"During the battle at the Profound Sky Sword Sect, Daoist Brother truly opened my eyes," Shao Huangnian remarked. He was gazing at the swiftly passing clouds and mist, when he suddenly turned to the side and smiled.

Qin Ming, Sun Yangping, and the others echoed in agreement, their eyes filled with reverence and awe towards Xu Disheng.

Xu Disheng responded, "Passing Epoch Daoist Brother initially held off Qi Taiqing for thirty breaths, even sacrificing a Clone Avatar stage talisman treasure. I feel somewhat remorseful for that."

Shao Huangnian shook his head, "Although the Clone Avatar stage talisman treasure is precious, for you and me, it's not something unattainable. To truly befriend Daoist Brother through this matter is my honor."

Xu Disheng remained neutral, replying, "Daoist Brother is too kind."

Shao Huangnian, with his keen insight, had already noticed Zhang Duoyu in the corner of the celestial turtle. He took out a small jade bottle with a smile, "I see that the person Daoist Brother brought has a half-shattered Jianggong meridian, and his profound law foundation is on the verge of completely collapsing. If he wishes to continue as a profound cultivator, he must rebuild his meridians. Here, I have a bottle of Marrow-Cleansing Meridian Restoration Pills, five in total, which I'll gift to him."

Although Marrow-Cleansing Meridian Restoration Pills were precious to ordinary people, for Xu Disheng, who hailed from the affluent Spirit Race of the Profound Depth Spiritual World, it wasn't anything rare. However, Shao Huangnian's thoughtfulness was fully demonstrated through this gesture.

Xu Disheng, who did not carry such spirit pills with him, accepted the jade bottle without pretense. "Thank you, Passing Epoch Daoist Brother, he said with a nod.

As for the relationship between this person and Xu Disheng, Shao Huangnian didn't inquire at all, showcasing his wisdom.

"The Daoist Ranking merit points for cleansing the Profound Sky Sword Sect have been confirmed by the Dawndusk Spiritual Essence. Supreme Daoist Brother will receive eighty percent, and I will receive twenty percent, which I think perfectly matches with reality," Shao Huangnian said, gesturing towards the direction where the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance was located. "Daoist Brother, you are now ranked third on the Dawndusk Daoist Ranking. Given the Ranking's growing influence, Supreme Daoist Brother is considered one of the top geniuses even among all Divine Core stage beings in the Central Region."

Xu Disheng took out the Dawndusk Spiritual Essence, and with his Profound Depth Spiritual Force, he enveloped it, transforming it into a transparent, dazzling light screen. Thousands of densely packed names were listed upon it.

At this moment, the golden names at the very top numbered over forty!

"1st place, Ethereal Spirit Master Yun Wuya. Thoroughly cleansed two large-scale forces, five medium-scale forces, and nine small-scale forces, accumulating 210,000 merit points."

"2nd place, Blood Garment Spirit Master Li Hongyu. Thoroughly cleansed one large-scale force, two medium-scale forces, and eleven small-scale forces, accumulating 132,000 merit points."

"3rd place, Supreme Spirit Master Xu Disheng. Thoroughly cleansed one large-scale force, one medium-scale force, and eight small-scale forces, accumulating 103,000 merit points."

"4th place, Profound Stillness Spirit Master Li Xuanji. Adequately cleansed seven medium-scale forces and thirteen small-scale forces, accumulating 98,000 merit points."

Under normal circumstances, a Divine Core stage cultivator would not be expected to overpower a Primordial Spirit stage cultivator. Yet, in the vast expanse of the Central Region, where geniuses were a dime a dozen, the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance's Administration Hall was a gathering of unparalleled talents from their eight peak-level forces, making the emergence of a few Divine Core stage Spirit Masters capable of slaying Primordial Lords not entirely surprising.

Yun Wuya's ability to slay Primordial Lords was not unexpected. However, what surprised many was Blood Garment Spirit Master Li Hongyu, who managed to single-handedly cleanse a large-scale force. Such an achievement was completely unforeseen by all.

Xu Disheng, after the battle at the Profound Sky Sword Sect, had become even more renowned. It was a well-recognized fact that the combat capability of a body and sword cultivator at the Primordial Spirit stage exceeding that of ordinary Primordial Spirit stage cultivator. Yet, Xu Disheng used two auxiliary Psychic Magic Treasures as substitutions, trapped Qi Taiqing within the Three-Petaled Spirit Sealing Array, and forced him to ignite the origin of his primordial spirit!

Though this sounded simple, no other Divine Core stage Spirit Master would have been able to bring Qi Taiqing to such an end.

The effectiveness of the Three-Petaled Spirit Sealing Array in sealing Qi Taiqing relied not only on the power of the Paramount Ancient Bell and Xu Disheng's Supreme Spiritual Root, combined with his Spiritual Force, but also on the subtle influence of the Immortal Race's innate violet qi, allowing the array's sealing power to reach a level capable of confining an early Primordial Spirit stage cultivator. With even a single component missing, Qi Taiqing might have broken free within moments, potentially annihilating Xu Disheng and those from the invading Dawndusk Daoist Alliance.
