Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World-Chapter 806: The Path Of All Immortals (Part 1)

When Eternal One Sect discovered him, they realized he had the makings of a great cultivator.

Sect Leader Mao, impressed by his abilities, took him in as a disciple and personally trained him for over a decade.

Pehong Chen did not disappoint him—he was one of the best among the top talents and had an impressive battle record.

Most notably, he was the fastest to master the Eight Gods Blade among all the Eternal One Sect disciples.

Yes, it was the Eight Gods Blade, not the Seven Gods Blade.

Eternal One Sect had passed down a weakened version of the Seven Gods Blade to its disciples, but its power was far less than the original Eight Gods Blade.

Many of the sect’s elders were aware of this.

As the top disciple and a natural genius, Pehong Chen wasn’t kept in the dark about this fact.

When Pehong Chen began his training, Sect Leader Mao had explained the differences and weaknesses of the Seven Gods Blade and the true Eight Gods Blade.

Without hesitation, Pehong Chen chose to train with the Eight Gods Blade.

Pehong Chen bowed to his master and the two elders, calmly saying, "I heard Elder Tau has returned."

Knowing why he had come, Sect Leader Mao looked at him kindly and said, "I will find another way to retrieve the complete Eight Gods Blade for you."

This disciple was always his pride.

The attempt to demand the full version of the Eight Gods Blade from the Green Lotus Sect was intended to strengthen Pehong Chen and further enhance the skills of all the disciples practicing the blade technique.

Other sects believed that Eternal One Sect would abandon the Eight Gods Blade because of its weaknesses, but how could they give up such powerful combat techniques?

If Eternal One Sect could train an elite force of warriors specialized in the Eight Gods Blade and gain access to its complete version, they would become unstoppable.

This was Eternal One Sect’s plan—once they had that power, could the Green Lotus Sect still stand as their rival?

Pehong Chen’s expression remained stern, "So, the Green Lotus Sect refuses to return it. I heard that the person who has mastered the Eight Gods Blade there is also a top-tier genius. If given the chance, I must meet her and see whose blade is truly stronger—mine or hers."

Timothy Tau said with regret, "That person is still in the Golden Core stage. Before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the Green Lotus Sect probably won’t let her out easily. Your duel with her might not happen anytime soon. When I went to the Green Lotus Sect this time, I didn’t even get to meet her before Qing Huacheng drove me out."

"If they’re too scared and want to hide like a coward, such a person isn’t worthy of being my opponent," Pehong Chen said, his gaze sharp as a blade.

Sect Leader Mao, seeing this, was pleased, "Pehong, have you advanced in your blade technique?"

Pehong Chen nodded, "Not to boast, Master and Elders, but during my recent seclusion, I did make some progress."

Sect Leader Mao was overjoyed, "Good! In that case, your ranking among the top talents should rise. Ordinary top-tier geniuses are probably no longer your match. When the Path of All Immortals opens, you should have the upper hand."

"Indeed," one of the elders added, "But if Pehong can break through to the Nascent Soul stage before the Path of All Immortals opens, you’ll have an even greater advantage."

Pehong Chen said calmly, "I will do my best." He then asked, "Master, Elders, do you know if Amalia will also participate in the Path of All Immortals? If she do..."

Sect Leader Mao pondered for a moment, "I’ve heard that her cultivation is only at the mid-Golden Core stage. By the time the Path of all Immortal opens, she may not have reached the Nascent Soul stage yet. It’s uncertain if the Green Lotus Sect will let her participate."

Pehong Chen’s expression didn’t change, "If the Green Lotus Sect doesn’t let her join, we’ll make sure she do."

Sect Leader Mao laughed at this, "You’re right, Pehong. I’ll find a way to make sure she participates."

Watching his master treat Senior Brother Chen like a cherished son, Geling Yan couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy.

If only his Master treated him with the same care.

If only he were as talented as Senior Brother, a true top-tier genius...

While things were peaceful at the Green Lotus Sect, the outside world was abuzz with the news of the emergence of an divine artifact there.

People from miles around had witnessed the scene—the enormous thunder tribulation cloud in the sky.

In the days that followed, the foot of the Green Lotus Sect’s mountain had become crowded with visitors.

"Did you hear? the Green Lotus Sect had a divine artifact appear a few days ago," said a customer in a tea house, where almost all the patrons were cultivators.

"Who hasn’t heard by now? Everyone thought the divine artifact market would end up monopolized by the people from the Artifact Refining Valley, but then the Green Lotus Sect shows up. Aren’t they all sword cultivators, though?"

"Such a large sect, who said they all have to be sword cultivators?"

"You’re missing the point. If this news is true, Artifact Refining Valley must be in big trouble right now. I wonder how they’ll respond."

A young cultivator, confused, asked, "Would the Green Lotus Sect having an Artificer who can make divine artifacts really affect Artifact Refining Valley that much?"

Everyone who heard the question immediately knew this person was new to the world of cultivation.

Some people were happy to explain it to him.

"The impact would be huge! Artifact Refining Valley has been the leader in artifact refining for a long time. Their arrogance is well-known. Why do people still put up with it? Because there’s no alternative. But now, if there’s another option, what would you do?"
