Aspiring to the Immortal Path-Chapter 849: Gathering

The Vast Wilderness Continent, the Mistcrown Vault.

This was a region of rainbow skies, as if all the colors in the world had gathered here to create the most enchanting glow.

But what created this multicolored light was the most dangerous thing in this world.

Golden winds that flayed to the bone, chilling winds brimming with wickedness, lethal ghostly winds, black winds that ate away at the flesh—any kind of dangerous wind that one could imagine was found here. They were mixed together in this place, intertwining and merging, forming dangerous clouds and perilous torrents. They formed a region in the skies of the Vast Wilderness Continent called the Forbidden Death Zone.

These were the Domain Astral Winds of the Vast Wilderness Continent!

Unlike Verdant Cloud, Blood River, or Rosecloud, the Domain Astral Winds of the Vast Wilderness Continent were divided into two parts. One part was the ordinary Astral Winds, passable so long as one was at Immortal Platform, through which one could access the endless void. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

But there was another section of the Astral Winds, these rainbow Astral Winds located in the center of the continent called the Forbidden Death Zone.

Worth nothing was that these Astral Winds could not be seen from the void.

If one entered the void and looked back at the Vast Wilderness Continent, they would find that the area of the Forbidden Death Zone was perpetually black, all color disappearing.

This strange phenomenon had attracted the interest of countless people, and in the past some great Titans had attempted to test the limits of this region. But none of them returned. The rainbow Astral Wind region was like a terrifying behemoth. There was no problem with lingering next to its mouth, but recklessly going in was seeking death!

In this Astral Wind region floated an immense structure. No matter how the Astral Flames blasted it, it refused to fall, exuding an ancient and supreme majesty amidst the rainbow winds.

The Court of Myriad Domains!

After being shattered by the Martial Lord, the main body of the Court of Myriad Domains had fallen out of the void into the Vast Wilderness Continent, entering this rainbow Astral Wind region.

Fortunately, although the court had entered the Forbidden Death Zone, it was not in the unreachable depths.

It was located on the lower end of the forbidden zone, so one only needed to hold out against the rainbow Astral Winds for a time to get there.

This was possible for many cultivators.

But the court's defensive formation kept out both the Astral Winds and these same cultivators. Even if the cultivators could get through the Astral Winds, they were helpless against the formation.

Yet over these last ten thousand years, there were always people who refused to give up on the Court of Myriad Domains.

A cultivator called the Abundant Treasures Celestial Lord discovered that the defensive formation would weaken at certain intervals, upon which he identified the right moment and managed to enter the court.

Through this adventure, the Abundant Treasures Celestial Lord grew rich, and his strength soared.

Such a transformation drew the covetous gaze of others.

Through various schemes, the Abundant Treasures Celestial Lord's secret was ultimately uncovered, and not only that, the other parties attempted to kill him. But the man was not called the Abundant Treasures Celestial Lord for nothing, and he used all of his many treasures to escape. He was filled with hatred, but the other party was too powerful for him to take revenge, so he decided to announce the secret so that it became impossible to maintain the secret of the court.

From then on, everyone knew about the Court of Myriad Domains, and they even knew when the time of weakening would come. As a result, such times became grand occasions for the Vast Wilderness Continent.

On this day, a cultivator flew out of the distance.

He stopped outside the Astral Wind region, looked around, and then chuckled. "It seems this old man is first."

With a wave of his hand, he summoned a lotus platform, seated himself on it, and closed his eyes.

More cultivators began to arrive before long, and when they arrived, they immediately found a place to rest.

By the time Tang Jie's group arrived, several hundred cultivators had gathered.

Several hundred Violet Palace cultivators gathered in one place was unheard of back in the Rosecloud Domain, but in the Vast Wilderness Continent, it was only the beginning.

Tang Jie looked around and saw no sign of Kun Wu. Realizing that their group hadn't arrived yet, he said to Yun Tianlan, "Ancestor, I'll head out."

Yun Tianlan nodded and waved his hand. "Go. You can leave everything to me and go about your business."

Although Tang Jie had gathered the experts from the Rosecloud Domain and brought them here, Tang Jie had no plans on moving together with them. The Rosecloud Domain was his ultimate trump card, and he couldn't let others find out about them. Before then, he would stick with Kun Wu's alliance of wandering cultivators while secretly keeping in contact with the Rosecloud Domain group. As Yun Tianlan had never been to the Vast Wilderness Continent and nobody knew his actual level of power, he hid his cultivation and only displayed himself as a Soul Projection Celestial Sovereign.

Tang Jie flew out with Xu Miaoran, finding their own spot to sit down.

It wasn't long before Kun Wu's group appeared.

Spotting Tang Jie in the distance, Kun Wu and the Wind Moon Scholar flew over. "Brother Tang is truly trustworthy and showed up. This is…"

They turned to Xu Miaoran.

Tang Jie replied, "This is my wife, Xu Miaoran."

The two of them immediately understood and said, "We pay our respects to Junior Sister."

Xu Miaoran returned their bows.

Several other cultivators quickly gathered around Kun Wu and the Wind Moon Scholar, all of them members of Kun Wu's alliance. More and more cultivators showed up, with the wandering cultivator group assembling thirty-some people. Four of them were at Soul Projection, twelve at Deification, and the rest were at Infant Tending. The four Soul Projection cultivators were very proud, not even glancing at the others upon arrival. They simply exchanged a few words with Kun Wu and the Wind Moon Scholar before finding a place to sit.

Upon seeing this, Tang Jie surmised that this alliance had probably been organized by these four.

After around half a day, nearly a thousand cultivators had gathered around the Astral Wind region, with some high-tier cultivators like Earth Immortals beginning to appear.

Seeing so many cultivators of such high level had Yun Tianlan's group aghast. Compared to the Vast Wilderness Continent, the Rosecloud Domain was truly too small. Only in circumstances like these did people realize that they had just been frogs at the bottom of a well.

And more high-tier cultivators were still arriving.

A man with white eyebrows and a large forehead appeared. Kun Wu and the Wind Moon Scholar both went up to greet him, and with one glance at the man, Tang Jie knew that this was probably the true organizer of this alliance.

He was an Earth Immortal.

The two cultivators behind him were both at Soul Projection.

Kun Wu and the Wind Moon Scholar brought the white-browed man before everyone and said, "This is Reverend Whitestone, the leader of my Jadestone Alliance. I trust that everyone can see that the reverend is an Earth Immortal. With him around, so long as we don't run into those High Antiquity exotic beasts or those fierce berserkers, we should be fine."

Everyone went up to greet Reverend Whitestone, Tang Jie and Xu Miaoran included. But the two thought to themselves, An Earth Immortal has gathered so many Violet Palace experts. Does he really intend to be a nanny to everyone? We're probably just here to be cannon fodder. From this, they concluded that the court was probably crawling with dangers. They weren't the only ones who had come to this realization, but being used by someone else was at least better than having no value at all.

The court was too dangerous, and if one fell behind, it would probably take only a few moments for the dangers within the court to devour them, or else for other cultivators to do the deed. For this reason, even though they knew that they were being used, they were still willing to be used.

After seeing everyone, Reverend Whitestone nodded in satisfaction. "Everyone, be at ease. This one has been to the court twice and returned safely each time. You could say that I am very familiar with the Court of Myriad Domains. I can ensure that everyone remains safe."

He's entered and returned safely twice? Tang Jie's heart thumped. Everyone knew the dangers of the court, and many people were only willing to go once. If this person could come and go twice and even be willing to go a third time, he either was a reckless daredevil or had something else to rely on. Reverend Whitestone didn't seem like a daredevil, so it was probably the latter.

But he kept his realizations to himself, joining everyone in thanking Reverend Whitestone. Alas, these mighty Violet Palace experts from all around were nothing special here and had to lower themselves. Even those four Soul Projection cultivators showed utmost respect to Reverend Whitestone.

After saying a few more words, everyone sat down and continued to wait for the opening.

An entire day passed.

The wandering cultivators arrived first, followed by the cultivators of major sects, usually arriving in groups numbering in the dozens. Thus, the number of people gathered below the Astral Wind region quickly hit several thousand.

Tang Jie was dumbstruck by this grandiose sight, but then he realized that only such a force could resist the invasion of the Primordial Fog.

As the opening time drew closer, too many people had gathered to count them all, but one might find eight Violet Palace experts out of every ten people, with the remaining two people being at Immortal Platform, perhaps even a True Immortal.

As all these experts gathered and began calling out to their friends, Tang Jie felt like he had returned to his past life, those numerous bigshots loudly talking to each other as they boldly occupied the good spots that had been occupied by those who had come earlier, and the weak could only yield while inwardly seething.

Tiers soon appeared below the Astral Wind region.

At the very top were the sects that headed the various states, like the Celestial Splendor Sect of the West Bull State or the Myriad Mountains Gate of the Gray Heron State. Beneath them were the country-level sects.

The Star Radiant Gate was among them, but alas, Tang Jie saw no sign of Reverend Yellow Heaven.

The Wind Moon Scholar knew what he was thinking and soothed, "Don't be anxious. The Court of Myriad Domains will remain open for a time, and people will be coming in later. That Reverend Yellow Heaven might not have been able to come back in time and might be a few days late. You'll get your chance to meet him."

"I hope so," Tang Jie sighed.

Behind the country-level sects were the prefecture-level sects. At this stage, some of the stronger alliances of wandering cultivators managed to squeeze their way in, and the divisions were no longer as obvious.

But at the forefront of the state-level sects were still two empty clearings that no one had occupied.

Xu Miaoran curiously asked Tang Jie, "Why is there no one there?"

Tang Jie chuckled. "That spot is naturally left for the strongest sects."

"You're saying…" Xu Miaoran said in realization.

Tang Jie said nothing, looking into the distance.

A group of a hundred cultivators had emerged from that direction, and if all went as expected, there would be another group of cultivators coming from the opposite direction.
