NOVPUBChapter 985: Great Zhou Immortal Sect of the Emperor Realm
"Who are you? Leave immediately. This place has been occupied by our Great Zhou Immortal Sect and is not open to the public."
As Su Jingzhen and the others watched the Star River Ancient Tree, a sharp voice rang in their ears.
The next moment, the space in front of them twisted, and two young men dressed in white robes with a colorful cloud emblem on their chests appeared and shouted at them.
The two emblems shone especially brightly in the near dawn darkness.
The sudden appearance of these two brought Su Jingzhen's thoughts back to reality.
He looked at the two young men with interest, but in the next moment, he was slightly startled. The aura of these two was unmistakably at the mid-stage Spirit Immortal level.
Even two gatekeepers had such a cultivation, this Great Zhou Immortal Sect seemed quite extraordinary.
However, Su Jingzhen had never heard of such a superpower in the cultivation world.
He instinctively glanced at Jian Ling, Lin Xiu, and the others around him.
He noticed that they were all looking at each other in complete bewilderment.
Only Shangguan Tiantong had a look of shock on his face.
"Senior Brother Shangguan, what kind of sect is this Great Zhou Immortal Sect? Is it very powerful?"
Su Jingzhen asked Shangguan Tiantong with curiosity.
"Very powerful! They are a power of the Emperor Realm!"
As he said this, Shangguan Tiantong felt his mouth go dry.
He hadn't expected to encounter people from the Emperor Realm so quickly at the Divine Shepherd Sect's Wood Elemental Secret Realm.
In his opinion, these elemental secret realms shouldn't be of interest to the forces of the Emperor Realm.
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen wasn't alarmed - instead, he was delighted.
The light in his eyes grew even brighter.
He was extremely excited.
His main goal this time was to gather information about Zhang Xiu.
Now that he had encountered people from the Emperor Realm so quickly, how could he not be thrilled?
"Senior Brother Shangguan, do you know anything about this Great Zhou Immortal Sect?"
Su Jingzhen asked again, curious.
However, the latter shook his head with a bitter smile: "My fellow brothers jokingly call me the All-Knowing Cultivation Scholar, but how could I really know everything?
I've put some effort into understanding most of the situations in the cultivation world, especially the geographical locations, but the Emperor's Realm... Even if I'm interested, I don't have the ability to infiltrate it and gain knowledge from within.
All I know is that the notable forces in the Emperor Realm all have Immortal Emperors overseeing them.
And this Great Zhou Immortal Sect seems to rank within the top ten in the Emperor Realm!"
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen immediately understood.
A force with an Immortal Emperor overseeing it was indeed remarkable.
After all, even in sects like the Divine Dan Sect, most of the ten great elders were only at the Immortal Lord level.
It wasn't even clear if the grand elder Zhou Daoqi had entered the Immortal King realm.
The strongest publicly known figure was only Sect Master Li Lingxi, who had reached the Immortal King level.
Of course, Su Jingzhen believed that the Divine Dan Sect had Immortal Emperor level cultivators hidden away, but these were trump cards.
Unlike the Great Zhou Immortal Sect, which openly had an Immortal Emperor.
In comparison, the Great Zhou Immortal Sect should be stronger than the Divine Dan Sect.
However, it was still impossible for two juniors to try to make Su Jingzhen back down.
He had gone from nothing to his current level in just a year - he wasn't someone who could be easily intimidated.
"Since ancient times, the treasures of heaven and earth have belonged to those who are destined to obtain them. How can you say that this place has been occupied by your Great Zhou Immortal Sect?
Besides, the word 'occupied' is highly inappropriate. If this thing truly belonged to your Great Zhou Immortal Sect, you could have simply taken it away. Why leave it standing here?
Since you can't take it away, it's not yours yet. Of course, we all have a chance."
Su Jingzhen stepped forward and said with a smile.
There was a hint of naivety in his words, and the fearless spirit of a newborn calf was on full display.
Hearing this, the two Spirit Immortals from the Great Zhou Immortal Sect curled their lips in disdain.
"Interesting. A local from the outside world dares to question what our Great Zhou Immortal Sect has claimed."
One of the young men scoffed.
The other pointed to the pile of corpses in the mountain stream not far away: "If you want to know why our Great Zhou Immortal Sect has the right to claim this, are these corpses enough?
Within a ten-mile radius from here to the ancient tree is the safety barrier set up by our Great Zhou Immortal Sect. If you dare to enter this ten-mile radius, you will be killed without mercy!"
The young men from the Great Zhou Immortal Sect didn't want to waste any more words on Su Jingzhen and the others.
As they spoke, a killing intent already condensed around them.
With a hand seal, a barrier indeed appeared between them and Su Jingzhen's group.
Su Jingzhen extended his divine consciousness and saw that this barrier completely enveloped the area within ten miles of the Star River Ancient Tree. 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Seeing this, the expressions on everyone's faces turned strange.
This was indeed eerily familiar.
Su Jingzhen never expected that the tactics he used against Changyang Tiansha and the others would be turned against him one day.
"Senior Brother Shangguan, if I kill these guys, will the old-timers from the Great Zhou Immortal Sect of the Emperor Realm jump out and crush me?"
Su Jingzhen asked Shangguan Tiantong again.
He had already asked Bai Suzhen to secretly investigate, and she hadn't detected any overly outrageous auras nearby.
He speculated that after the Emperor Realm forces had annihilated the Divine Shepherd Sect with overwhelming force, the cleanup work might have been left to their younger generation.
This question clearly stumped Shangguan Tiantong as well, and he smiled bitterly once again: "Junior Brother Su, you're embarrassing me. I don't know these things either."
Su Jingzhen nodded and simply looked at the two members of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect in front of him: "What if I enter this ten-mile area and kill you?
The Great Zhou Immortal Sect is a powerful force from the Emperor Realm. Surely you wouldn't resort to having the older generation step in after the younger ones have been defeated, would you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent.
The question was incredibly bold.
Not only were the two from the Great Zhou Immortal Sect stunned, but even the people around Su Jingzhen looked at him with strange expressions.
After all, this was a powerful force from the Emperor Realm.
Everyone couldn't help but think, "As expected from you, Su Jingzhen!"
After a moment of stunned silence, the two young men from the Great Zhou Immortal Sect also laughed.
They immediately replied with disdain: "If you really have the ability, we can guarantee that no one from the Great Zhou Immortal Sect will hold you accountable."
"Haha, I was waiting for you to say that."
Su Jingzhen chuckled and formed a hand seal. The space in front of him twisted, and a recording began to play.
He had actually used energy to record the images and voices of these two individuals.
In situations where the strength is roughly equal, argument requires reason, and reason requires evidence.
This was a lesson he had learned after suffering many losses in his past life.
With this recording, he wouldn't have to fear the Great Zhou Immortal Sect in the future.
After all, the ability to annihilate the Divine Shepherd Sect with overwhelming force wasn't solely the power of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect.
And within the Emperor Realm, he now had the Holy Maiden Little Ling as his backer.
Moreover, from what Li Lingxi had told him earlier, their Divine Dan Sect also had intricate connections with the Emperor Realm.
Given all these relationships, even if the Divine Dan Sect was weaker than the Great Zhou Immortal Sect, they weren't truly inferior.
Seeing Su Jingzhen's outrageous move, everyone was stunned once again.
However, the two young men from the Great Zhou Immortal Sect had a dark expression on their faces.
"It seems like you're very confident. The scenery and spiritual energy here are excellent. The green mountains are perfect for burying bones, and they'll make a great resting place for you."
As soon as the two young men from the Great Zhou Immortal Sect finished speaking, a line of golden text suddenly appeared before Su Jingzhen's eyes.

Clearly, Shengana had once again been won over by his unrestrained boldness.
She had directly delivered a triple hit.
Su Jingzhen's lips curled into a smile, and in the next moment, another line of golden text appeared.
[Daily Fixed Points: Zhang Xiu: 4, Shuang Jiang: 15, Feng Qingya: 18, Luo Yuebai: 18, Dantai Xuening: 60, Qiu Yaoyao: 45, Shengana: 11]
[Remaining Available Points: 16,588]
The daily fixed points had arrived.
Su Jingzhen was stunned for a moment.
But then he saw a glimmer of light shining from the top of the Star River Ancient Tree.
It was the dawn breaking through the darkness of the night.
A new day had arrived.
The daily fixed points had already reached over 170 points, which delighted him.
But what excited him even more was that he saw this as a sign.
"The first rays of the sun are breaking through the darkness. This is telling me that taking on the Great Zhou Immortal Sect is the right move."
