Chapter 3707 - 3707: Searching for Clues
When the seven ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants arrived, they did not combine their strength this time. After all, they were no longer within the vicinity of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. The area was not protected by the will of a Grand Exalt, so it was much easier to look into the past.
The Space-splitting Venerable took action personally, merging his soul with the world and peering into the past of this place.
Before an expert like the Space-splitting Venerable, there were very few matters in the world that could remain hidden. If he wanted to, it was completely possible for him to flip through time and look into the past.
Of course, that was assuming that the traces left in the space there had not been erased or covered up.
When the Immortal Devouring Orchid killed all those experts from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants in the past, Jian Chen had personally erased the presences here as he hid in the dark.
However, Jian Chen’s actions could only fool Immortal Emperors and some weaker Immortal Exalts. Before the Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the Space-splitting Venerable, it was nothing more than child’s play.
As a result, the Space-splitting Venerable saw what had happened back then very quickly. He learnt all about the experiences of the ten Immortal Emperors and the eighty-one Immortal Monarchs’ in battle as well as the details of their death.
The Space-splitting Venerable’s face darkened. Normally, the death of so many experts would definitely leave him enraged, as the experts who perished here almost amounted to a third of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ higher forces.
But at this moment, all he wanted to do was find the culprit behind the destruction of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. As a result, despite his killing intent surging from all the experts of the sect that perished here, he still designated it as second priority.
“A mutated Immortal Devouring Orchid suddenly appeared in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. It killed many experts of our sect here, but I still haven’t found the person behind the destruction of our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants,” said the Space-splitting Venerable.
“An Immortal Devouring Orchid? Don’t tell me it’s the one raised by the Star Clustered Ancestor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in the past?” one of the ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants said with a cold gaze.
She was a beautiful young lady. She only seemed to be around twenty years old. She wore a green dress; she was alluring.
She was one of the seven ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. She was known as ancestor Yue, a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt!
The five other ancestors’ breathing became ragged. They were all furious. Ancestor Ling of the seven ancestors could not help but say, “In the current Immortals’ World, probably no one apart from the wretched remnants of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens possesses the courage to behave so viciously towards our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. The person who destroyed our sect must be closely related to the Immortal Devouring Orchid. If we can find the Immortal Devouring Orchid, we’ll definitely be able to find the person who destroyed our sect.”
“Yeah. For the past three million years, there hasn’t been a single person or organisation on the Reverent Observance Heaven that is bold enough to provoke our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, yet when we were gone this time, a large number of experts in the sect were massacred, followed by almost the destruction of the sect. These two matters must be connected,” said ancestor Zang of the seven ancestors. He was also a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.
“We can’t eliminate the possibility that because the Immortal Devouring Orchid killed a large number of our clansmen, it lured out experts in hiding that had grievances with our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Maybe they planned on shifting all the blame to the Immortal Devouring Orchid after our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants was destroyed,” said ancestor Ling.
“Regardless of whether the person who destroyed the sect is connected with the Immortal Devouring Orchid or not, we need to find it,” said the Space-splitting Venerable. Shortly afterwards, he used a secret technique and tried to grasp a wisp of the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s presence from the past through his exceptional abilities. Then he could use the presence to find the traces of the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
But very soon, the Space-splitting Venerable opened his eyes. They were filled with malice. He growled, “Everyone, lend me a hand!”
When they heard that, the six ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants were all slightly surprised. They already knew that the Immortal Devouring Orchid from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor at most. With the Space-splitting Venerable’s cultivation, he still required assistance to track down an Immortal Emperor?
“Don’t tell me the Immortal Devouring Orchid has a very powerful backing as well and has many karmic ties? Or maybe it possesses some kind of treasure that can obscure the heavenly secrets?” Despite their surprise, the six ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants did not hesitate at all. They all appeared behind the Space-splitting Venerable.
The Space-splitting Venerable gathered their strength and tried again.
But after quite a while, they still found nothing.
They could only learn about the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s existence through the traces that lingered here. They could not find any more clues that pointed towards further information regarding the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
The faces of the seven ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants became extremely ugly.
Since they could not find the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s traces, this clue they had found after so much difficulty turned into another dead end.
The seven ancestors left and returned to the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. When they saw the sect in ruins, they were all filled with sorrow again. They seemed like they were about to bleed from their eyes that had already become bloodshot.
Now, there were only two creatures that remained in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants—the Dragon Blood Fish.
The seven of them arrived at the edge of the pool where the Dragon Blood Fish lived. Gazing at the Dragon Blood Fish that had already dived to the bottom of the pool, the Space-splitting Venerable said, “There’s no need to look any further. The intelligence of the Dragon Blood Fish has already been shattered. They’re still alive, but they know nothing at all.”
When they heard that, the six other ancestors only felt their hearts contract. Oppressive feelings filled their hearts. They basically all wanted to howl out.
“The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has already been emptied out, and the Immortal Devouring Orchid has vanished. All of the traces in the sect have been erased, and even the intelligence of the Dragon Blood Fish has been shattered. Our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants stands at the peak of the Reverent Observance Heaven, renowned as the greatest organiastion on the Reverent Observance Heaven, yet we can’t even find the people responsible for destroying our sect,” ancestor Ling bellowed furiously. The killing intent that he gave off was so powerful that it almost became tangible.
During this period, they had tried to find the whereabouts of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens through all kinds of methods. However, they found no one at all apart from the expelled spies that had originally been planted in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens by various organisations.
It felt like all of the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had been covered up by a great force. Even with their combined strength, they could not bypass this force.
“Looks like the origins of the organisation opposing our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is quite impressive.” Ancestor Zang ground his teeth. “Perhaps this really is connected to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, or how could there be such a great coincidence that we can’t peer into any of these secrets at all?”
“The sect is protected by several forbidden artifacts. They can even overwhelm mid Immortal Exalts. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens doesn’t have the required strength at all. It’s probably some enemy who was lurking in the shadows the entire time that chose to strike at this time. That way, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens would draw away our attention instead.”
“Our sect has been robbed of all resources, yet the Dragon Blood Fish that are the most precious resource in the entire sect haven’t been taken away. That means that the people responsible know the origins of the Dragon Blood Fish. Everyone who knows the true origins of the Dragon Blood Fish have extremely great status.”
The ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants began to make guesses.
