Everlasting. Everlasting Chapter 900 Discussion

“Good! Worthy of your mid-level Ascendant Immortal stage cultivation, you have some skills. However, can you stop us all?” Patriarch Heavenly Sword laughed and attacked again.

At the same time, the other Ascendant Immortals who had been simply watching by the side began taking action as well. The end result was obvious. Tens of Ascendant Immortals besieged the clone of an Ascendant Immortal. Thus, it did not take long for the clone of the cultivator from the Immortal Plane to be killed off. All that was left of him were some scattered streams of energy.

“Even if he had come here with his real body, he would have died all the same, let alone a clone. That fellow is a real idiot. Did he think that this is the Immortal Plane?”

“That's right! How dare he put on airs when he is in our territory!”

“Still, you are quite capable, kid. Even though you are just a minor Human Immortal, you are not afraid of an Ascendant Immortal.” Some of them turned to cast curious gazes at Chen Feng.

“Don't look down on this kid. He has Immortal artifacts on him. He is not some ordinary fellow.”

“Looks like we can now discuss things properly. Isn't that right, Heavenly Premier Ninelink?” Chen Feng deliberately revealed a look of ridicule.

Heavenly Premier Ninelink glanced at Chen Feng, but said nothing.

“Oh, right! Nine Firmaments Palace wants to conquer the entire Eternal World. It is only natural that you wouldn't care about minor characters like us,” Chen Feng continued.

“Shut up!” Heavenly Premier Ninelink's face finally contorted.

“Conquer the whole Eternal World? Is that a joke? Nine Firmaments Palace wants to do that?” Some of the Ascendant Immortals there scoffed.

“Fellow seniors, you may check it out for yourself. You'll understand once you do,” Chen Feng said.

With the exception of Chen Feng, every one of them was an Ascendant Immortal. Even though they were at Nine Firmaments Palace's headquarters, they did not deliberately take action to investigate the situation within the headquarters. However, after hearing Chen Feng's words, several of them sent out their divine senses to scan the place.

It did not take long before all of them found some of the secrets hidden within Nine Firmaments Palace's headquarters.

“Tsk, tsk! To think that Nine Firmaments Palace would have this kind of card up its sleeve. Looks like you really want to try it, huh?”

“Heavenly Premier Ninelink, what do you have to say for yourself?”

“Heh! This is just a way to cultivate. Is this supposed to mean anything?” Heavenly Premier Ninelink's face turned calm once more.

“I have not been around for quite some time now. Unexpectedly, Nine Firmaments Palace would develop to such heights. Looks like the minor sect that I founded back then will not be able to last for much longer.”

“That's easy to fix. Join me. We'll divide Nine Firmaments Palace between us.”

“Alright, alright, stop it, you guys. The reason we are here is to talk about the Planar War.”

“It's chaos here. How can we discuss anything? I don't think we'll be able to come to any conclusion.”

“It's all Nine Firmaments Palace's fault.”

“The way I see it, it's the fault of this kid. Nine Firmaments Palace attacking Extreme Celestial Sect is a normal thing. And yet, this kid raised an army from the Central Plains to join the war.”

“Senior, how should I address you?” Hearing that, Chen Feng could not stop himself from asking.

“Patriarch Iron Stream. What is it, kid?”

“I think you are talking out of your a.s.s just now!” Chen Feng shouted.

“What did you say?!” Patriarch Iron Stream grew furious. He was an exalted Ascendant Immortal. If he had to take the insult from a minor Human Immortal lying down, he would have no face to continue raising his head in the future.

“I am a disciple of Extreme Celestial Sect. Right now, my sect is in trouble. Taking action to help my sect is only reasonable. You, on the other hand. Do you have a pea for a brain?” Chen Feng responded with a derisive smile.

“The audacity! Everyone, do you see? This kid is the one provoking me! If I don't teach him a lesson, how will the juniors view us in the future?” Patriarch Iron Stream said, taking a step forward to send a formidable, grey-coloured stream of energy towards Chen Feng. 

It was not an actual attack. Rather, it was something formed from the aura that Patriarch Iron Stream was exuding. Even so, this level of attack should be enough against a cultivator at Chen Feng's level. After all, even the gaze of an Ascendant Immortal would have been enough to kill off a Human Immortal.

Seeing that, Patriarch Heavenly Sword had wanted to stop the attack. However, he then saw Bi Qing, who was standing beside Chen Feng. Due to that, he decided against interfering.

As for the others, they simply watched from the side lines. Some were in fact, feeling displeased with Chen Feng. In short, Chen Feng's cultivation level was simply not high enough. Every one of them was an Ascendant Immortal. What was a minor Human Immortal doing here?

Unexpectedly, Bi Qing chose not to take action. What happened next caused everyone to gape.

Patriarch Iron Stream's attack made contact with Chen Feng's body, only to automatically disperse. It had failed to affect Chen Feng at all.

Chen Feng then waved his hand and the Longevity Tower flew out. Arriving above Patriarch Iron Stream's head, it spun, enveloping him in a certain power. Due to that, Patriarch Iron Stream froze. Or perhaps, it would be more accurate to say that he had been transformed into a sculpture, incapable of moving at all. Rather, there were no signs of life coming from him at all.

Sou!

Chen Feng swung with the Netherbone Lance, striking Patriarch Iron Stream heavily with it. Although the attack did not kill him, it had still left him badly wounded. The Netherbone Lance was an Immortal artifact, after all. On Patriarch Iron Stream's side, his hurtling body swelled up, but he forced it back to normal. Even so, cracks had appeared upon his body and energy streams seeped out in a chaotic manner. 

Of course, it was not that Chen Feng was incapable of killing off Patriarch Iron Stream. He could have simply sucked him into the Longevity Tower and he would no longer be able to escape. Only, this was not the time to be doing something like this. 

Seeing that caused an uproar amongst those present. The way they looked at Chen Feng changed. Bi Qing was the only one who was unfazed. At any rate, Bi Qing had long since viewed Chen Feng as an equal.

The Longevity Tower returned to Chen Feng's hand. Rotating once, it then disappeared into his body. Waving the Netherbone Lance in his hand, Chen Feng then smiled.

“What is it? If you're still unconvinced, feel free to come at me again. However, I cannot promise you that I will hold back this time.”

Despite having received a beating and shocked to see Chen Feng in possession of two good Immortal artifacts, Patriarch Iron Stream desperately wanted to regain his reputation. There was only one way to do that, and that was to kill Chen Feng.

This time, however, no fight erupted. Bi Qing stepped forward and said coldly, “Enough.”

Patriarch Heavenly Sword came forward as well. Smiling, he said, “If you try anything again, do not blame me for taking action.”

“Patriarch Heavenly Sword, what does this have to do with you?” Patriarch Iron Stream grew displeased.

“Right, I forgot to tell you fellows. This kid is an elder of my Heavenly Sword Faction. If something happens, it is only natural for me to help him,” Patriarch Heavenly Sword said with a serious look on his face.

With Bi Qing and Patriarch Heavenly Sword stepping forward, Patriarch Iron Stream dared not take action anymore. He was already no match for Patriarch Heavenly Sword. And yet, there was also Bi Qing, who appeared to possess an unfathomable level of might.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

The four Heavenly Premiers Absolute, Eternal, Heavensight and Four Cardinals returned. After returning, Heavenly Premier Absolute waved his hand to bring out a cosmos pouch. Next, the cosmos pouch opened up and a high number of cultivators fell out.

They were none other than the cultivators who were besieging Extreme Celestial Sect. There were at least one million of them in total.

Speaking of which, Nine Firmaments Palace had taken a considerable number of losses this time. They lost over tens of Earthen Immortals and hundreds of Human Immortals. As for those beneath the Human Immortal stage, the number of casualties was practically uncountable. Additionally, due to Chen Feng's partic.i.p.ation, many buildings and cities were destroyed. Most importantly, Nine Firmaments Palace's headquarters had been terribly devastated by the earlier battle.

If Nine Firmaments Palace had managed to conquer Extreme Celestial Sect, then this would have been acceptable. However, not only did they fail, they even lost more of their cultivators. Even though they were supported by the cultivators from the Immortal Plane, two of them were killed off and one lost his clone. And now, in the face of the many Ascendant Immortals gathered there, Heavenly Premier Ninelink knew that his side had lost.

There was no way for him to bridge the difference in power here. Today's outcome was already very obvious. Nine Firmaments Palace had to withdraw.

Heavenly Premier Ninelink's rage was at an all-time high. However, he revealed none of it. Instead, he simply gritted his teeth and kept it to himself. You fellows have managed to press me down this time. But soon, all of you will be paying the price for what happened today! Nine Firmaments Palace is not to be trifled with!

Since the conclusion had been determined, Heavenly Premier Ninelink simply accepted it all, saying nothing in the process. At any rate, all the cultivators from his sect that were sent out to attack Extreme Celestial Sect had been brought back. Saying anything else about it was pointless.

“As Ascendant Immortals, it would be better for us to not interfere in the matters of the world of cultivation of Eternal World,” one of them said.

Only, his words ended up offending a high number of the Ascendant Immortals there.

Almost all the Ascendant Immortals who took action earlier grew displeased.

“Don't interfere? That's easy. I suggest that you all just ascend to the Immortal Plane,” Patriarch Heavenly Sword was the first to speak up.

“But even after ascending to the Immortal Plane, one can still open up a pa.s.sageway to return.”

“What is this? You want to fight me again?”

“Tch! Others may be afraid of you, but I have never viewed you as a threat, Patriarch Heavenly Sword.”

“Then let's give it a shot! I'll teach you a lesson today!”

Chen Feng, who was standing nearby, grew speechless. Most of these Ascendant Immortals seemed like exalted existences with a highly steady atmosphere. However, the moment conflict arose, they were not much different compared to cultivators on lower levels. Naturally, that was simply the nature of some.

Next up, the tense atmosphere subsided and the Ascendant Immortals began discussing in earnest. This was the reason why they had gathered up, after all. Chen Feng, as a special case, was able to partic.i.p.ate in the discussion. The most important reason for that was the fact that he had managed to beat back an Ascendant Immortal earlier. No matter where one may be, strength was the most important thing.

The topic of their discussion was the upcoming Planar War. The discussion was a very heated one. And yet, it was not as filled with conflict as before. As for Chen Feng, he simply sat down quietly, not speaking at all.

“Chen Feng, you are now a lord with your own territory as well. Do you have anything to say?”

Although Chen Feng had remained silent, some people decided to speak to him. The one who asked him that was Patriarch Heavenscry. He had maintained a neutral stance in the earlier fight. And now, his action of asking Chen Feng ended up s.h.i.+fting the attention of the Ascendant Immortals towards Chen Feng.

“I have nothing to say.” Chen Feng shook his head.

“In other words, Island Lord Chen plans to partic.i.p.ate in this war?” Patriarch Heavenscry said smilingly.

“Naturally, I am someone from Eternal World. It is only right that I partic.i.p.ate. When the time comes, I will lead a group of cultivators from East Dragon Island to join the war,” Chen Feng said.
