Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 236: Paying Respect to the Mountain, Only Seeking Defeat

Although I don't understand why the Cloud Firmament Sect treats disciples from the Demon Sect as honored guests, looking at the intense situation between the two sides, both independent cultivators and cultivators from small and medium-sized families know that there will be conflicts later.

After perceiving this scene, the cultivators who were affiliated with the Cloud Firmament Sect naturally hoped for the victory of the righteous path.

As for the independent cultivators... they are a group of opportunists who will side with whoever is stronger.

Of course, they wouldn't dare to associate themselves with the Demon Sect due to its bad reputation.

However, if the Cloud Firmament Sect were to show weakness, these independent cultivators might not dare to take advantage of the situation, but they would definitely sit back and watch the show.

In fact, some independent cultivators have already advised their own children, nephews, or disciples not to fight against the Demon Sect when they enter the mortal realm, but rather to focus on collecting resources. That is what they should do.

It is also because of the attitude of independent cultivators, who do not contribute much, that the Cloud Firmament Sect is holding the Foundation Building ceremony to showcase its strength and stimulate them to fight desperately.

However, the Cloud Firmament Sect wants to minimize its losses, while the Demon Sect naturally disagrees, which is why they have come here.

They want to use their own strength and cruelty to intimidate the independent cultivators, so that they dare not attack them.

...

Both the Cloud Firmament Sect and the Demon Sect have their own plans. Some clever people have already sensed that there will be a bloody battle ahead.

And at this moment, the Perfected Being Tao from the Cloud Firmament Sect took the stage as the host to preside over the Foundation Building ceremony.

"Welcome, fellow cultivators, to the Cloud Firmament Sect, to witness the Foundation Building ceremony of our outstanding disciples..."

"Outstanding? Haha, I don't see it that way. Perfected Being Tao, the aura of your disciples is too superficial, some of them are not up to par."

Just as many clever people had expected, the Demon Sect came here to cause trouble. At the beginning of the ceremony, a Gold Core elder from the Demon Sect mocked the Foundation Building disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect.

Upon hearing this, Perfected Being Tao did not get angry, but instead smiled and said, "You think our disciples are not good enough, huh?"

"Of course, the disciples of my Blood Sea Gate have experienced life and death battles, naturally they cannot be compared to the delicate flowers of your sect. Hehe, it may be an exaggeration to say one against ten, but in individual battles, the disciples of your sect are no match for ours."

"Arrogant!"

"I've been looking down on you for a long time, let's fight!"

"If we are not your match, hehe, I hope you can still say that later."

The mockery from the Demon Sect's Gold Core elder filled the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect with righteous indignation. Instantly, more than a hundred Foundation Building disciples volunteered to fight.

It can only be said that the atmosphere in the Cloud Firmament Sect is quite tough.

Seeing the fighting spirit of his disciples, Tao Juran nodded in satisfaction.

However, he did not let the two sides engage in battle. Instead, he released the aura of a peak Gold Core cultivator, suppressing the quarreling parties.

"Alright, everyone, I understand your demands."

These words were not only addressed to the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect, but also to the disciples of the Demon Sect.

"But don't worry, now is not the time for you to fight. Before this ceremony, there will be an opening event. After watching the opening celebration, you can fight then."

At the end, Perfected Being Tao looked at the elder from the Demon Sect.

"I think you wouldn't mind wasting a little time and watching the opening event with us."

The elder from the Demon Sect naturally didn't want to watch, although he didn't know what plans the Cloud Firmament Sect had.

But when the enemy wants to do something, it is what one should prevent. They understood this principle.

However, this place is ultimately the territory of the Cloud Firmament Sect. Although they cannot afford the consequences of tearing their faces, they still have some advantages.

Just like now, more than a hundred Gold Core cultivators collectively released their auras, forcing the people from the Demon Sect to agree to the Cloud Firmament Sect's proposal and watch the so-called opening event first.

"Hmph, since you want to watch, then let's watch. But after watching, I hope you won't continue to delay. Or rather, I hope you won't dare to fight against us."

"Haha, I am not someone who breaks his word, and the Cloud Firmament Sect is not afraid of any challenges. After the opening event, anyone who wants to challenge us, the Cloud Firmament Sect will accept."

"That's for the best."

After making a promise, Tao Juran respectfully said towards the sky:

"Please reveal the Heavenly Treasure Mirror!"

"Hum!"

As Tao Juran bowed, a mysterious and ethereal treasure mirror descended from the sky and floated in front of the cultivators.

After the appearance of the treasure mirror, it rapidly enlarged.

"Boom..."

In the blink of an eye, the mirror grew to a size of eight hundred meters.

The enormous mirror allowed anyone sitting anywhere to see the images reflected in the mirror.

This sudden scene caused many people to start discussing.

"The Heavenly Treasure Mirror, it is said to be a Spirit Communication Law Weapon above the Supreme Grade Law Treasure. It has the ability to observe the world and discern demons and monsters. However, why did the Cloud Firmament Sect bring out this mirror? To discern demons?"

"The people from the Demon Sect entered openly, so there's no need to discern, right?"

"Then it must be for observation... the opening ceremony. The Cloud Firmament Sect wouldn't really show us scenery or performances as the opening, right?"

"...That's impossible."

Just as the crowd didn't understand why the Cloud Firmament Sect treated the disciples of the Demon Sect as "honored guests" and let them sit in the front row, they also didn't understand why the Cloud Firmament Sect brought out the Heavenly Treasure Mirror.

Fortunately, their confusion didn't last long.

As the mirror activated and the mist dispersed, a sect different from the Cloud Firmament Sect appeared within the mirror.

Compared to the abundant spiritual energy and beautiful scenery of the Cloud Firmament Sect, the sect that appeared in the mirror was devoid of any signs of life within a radius of a thousand miles. Instead, there were withered trees and riverbeds scattered across the desolate land.

There were also various corpses and bones scattered on the desolate ground.

As the mirror shifted, the crowd also discovered a putrid and terrifying blood-colored river surrounding a peculiar mountain peak.

"What is this place?"

"Hell?"

"No, this isn't hell, it's the Demon Sect! Blood Sea Gate!"

"Why does the Cloud Firmament Sect want to observe the Blood Sea Gate?"

Many people were puzzled about why the Cloud Firmament Sect was observing the Blood Sea Gate, but soon they would find out.

Within the Demon Sect's residence that resembled a pool of blood and hell, a cultivator who didn't fit in appeared in the mirror.

The cultivator in the mirror looked very young and was dressed in the disciple's attire of the Cloud Firmament Sect.

This cultivator walked straight towards the Blood Sea Gate's mountain gate and eventually stopped in front of it.

Then, a proud shout came from the cultivator's mouth and echoed between heaven and earth.

"Zhong Cang of the Cloud Firmament Sect, here to pay respects to the Blood Sea Gate, seeking only defeat!"

"!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell.

Not only the Blood Sea Gate on the other side, but even the many cultivators of the Cloud Firmament Sect fell silent because of Zhong Cang's words.

It took a long time before discussions started one after another.

"I, I didn't hear wrong, did I?"

"Seeking only defeat?"

"To provoke like this in front of the Demon Sect's mountain gate, how dare he!"
