Chapter 2515: Reaping an Immortal’s Cave Abode
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
...Even Cloud Peng, the Sacred Supreme, had some understanding of the underlying facts. Although shocked, he could barely accept it. However, the True Immortal dignitaries present were undeniably caught off guard by this outcome, each showing expressions of disbelief.
"Well done, Heavenly Rui Jiang’s. You really hid it well."
Immortal Monarch Haoran from the Gui Family was immediately infuriated, his face darkening like a pot bottom.
For this Immortal Cave Mansion Relic, to win the prestigious competition, the Gui Family invested considerable effort and family resources. They carefully selected Gui Yongming, a clan member with outstanding cultivation base and talent, even boosting his Bloodline Talent to the world’s best, Grade A level.
Originally, they thought that even against the Tianrui Shen Family’s contender, their odds of winning were fifty-fifty. But unexpectedly, Gui Yongming was defeated in the first round by the seemingly inconspicuous Jiang Mu Xian, wasting their significant investment and efforts.
How could he not be angry?
"Immortal Monarch Haoran." Immortal Monarch Haoran was in a good mood this time, laughing aloud and reminding him, "You are a renowned Immortal Monarch. Accept your loss with dignity and don’t tarnish the Sacred Race’s reputation."
"Hmph!"
Immortal Monarch Haoran’s face changed a few times before he ultimately couldn’t find a reason to act out.
The only slight consolation was that if the Tianxing Guyi couldn’t win this Immortal Cave Mansion Relic, their longtime rival, the Tianrui Shen Family, probably couldn’t either.
The Tianrui Shen Family’s contender, Si Huazang, wasn’t much stronger than Gui Yongming.
Predictably, although Si Huazang won the duel against Wu Yingjie from the Tianxing Wu Family, he was consistently suppressed by Jiang Mu Xian in the subsequent second round.
Those selected for the prestigious competition had virtually similar cultivation bases, all at the Advanced Stage of the Purple Abode Realm, with only slight differences in levels. In such cases, the advantage of Bloodline suppression becomes extremely evident.
Not to mention, Jiang Mu Xian had undergone extensive "devil training" under Wang Baoguang, substantially enhancing his combat abilities.
Encouraged by the initial victory, Jiang Mu Xian regained his confidence, initially shattered by Wang Baoguang, performing increasingly well, in better condition the more he fought. In less than thirty rounds, he successfully defeated the panicked Si Huazang.
"Well done!"
Immortal Monarch Haoran shouted joyfully, almost moved to tears in his excitement.
Because of this Immortal Cave Mansion Relic, the Jiang’s family had repeatedly encountered difficulties. He had completely given up on it, but didn’t expect that fate would bring about Mu Xian’s rise, reclaiming the Immortal Cave Mansion.
"Heavenly Rui Jiang’s Jiang Mu Xian wins."
Seeing the victory decided, Cloud Peng, being the final judge, conclusively announced the result, while politely asking Qingyuan and others: "Do any of you have any objections to the result of this battle?"
"The process was fair, open, and impartial, and we have no objections." Saint Qingyuan and Saintess Water Moon promptly expressed their support.
"No objections to the result." Immortal Monarch Guanghui from Jin Guang Heavenly Abode also expressed his opinion.
But her gaze remained fixed on Jiang Mu Xian, her tone rather regretful: "It’s a pity you belong to the Tianrui Sacred Dynasty, otherwise I would certainly invite you to join Jin Guang Heavenly Abode."
With representatives from the three transcendent forces voicing no objections, although the Immortal Monarchs from the Si Family and Gui Family were extremely unwilling, they had to accept their loss gracefully, affirming no issues with the result.
Jiang Mu Xian won the duel openly and squarely, leaving no room for criticism.
To cause a senseless commotion over this, Cloud Peng was not just for show. If the situation escalated, the Si Family and Gui Family couldn’t afford to lose face over this.
"Since that’s the case, I hereby announce that Heavenly Rui Jiang’s Jiang Mu Xian has won the prestigious competition, making the contentious Immortal Cave Mansion Relic his." As he spoke, Cloud Peng handed the "Relic Key," temporarily entrusted to him for safekeeping, over to Jiang Mu Xian.
Though called a "key," it was, in fact, an ancient "Token."
Cloud Peng followed procedures from start to finish, fair and impartial, without any bias. The disposition naturally legitimized the result, preventing anyone from inciting repercussions.
As the result was announced,
The various families could no longer remain present, and each took their leave.
Soon, only Immortal Monarch Haoran, Saint Qingyuan, Saintess Water Moon, and Cloud Peng remained on the scene.
"Shouzhe, oh Shouzhe." At this moment, Cloud Peng also shed his serious facade, playfully teasing Wang Shouzhe, "You really know how to play."
"Thank you, senior, for ensuring justice." Wang Shouzhe didn’t respond to his tease but instead smiled and politely thanked him, "Without your presence, this matter might not have been easily settled."
Wang Shouzhe spoke honestly.
Strictly speaking, within an Immortal Cave Mansion, the most valuable items are the potential Immortal Scripture legacy and the Little Heavenly Abode itself. Those are extremely significant for ordinary Immortal Clans like Jiang’s and Wu’s Family, but for Sacred Races like Gui Family and Si Family, their importance is merely average.
The primary reason for such substantial friction between the two families was the longstanding rivalry. The Immortal Cave Mansion was merely a trigger.
Correspondingly, the reason this prestigious competition concluded smoothly wasn’t primarily due to the contest itself, but because of the Primordial Taoist Palace’s stance. If it weren’t for Cloud Peng, the Envoy from the Primordial Taoist Palace, there wouldn’t have been a prestigious competition. Without Cloud Peng’s presence, the Gui Family and Si Family wouldn’t have conceded so easily.
