Chapter 332: 195. The Ancestor of the Dao has regrets, the Immortal Clan governs the world_2

The Western Purple Immortal Clan, which resides year-round on the immortal islands of the Western Gate Pillar, comprises seventeen surnames, divided into three classes. Among them, the Taishi, Guanyuan, and Tianjing surnames belong to the first class and are also the supreme clans within the Western Purple Immortal Clan.

The clan that he had refined, named Gong Jing’er, belonged to the second class of the Western Purple Immortal Clan.

As for the two immortals he had previously encountered, they were of the third class.

However, although there were three classes, in reality, the difference between the second and third classes was not significant. The only reason for this division was simply because their own ancestors were not powerful enough.

The reason the members of the Western Purple Immortal Clan ventured out of the immortal islands, traveling far to the South Gate Pillar, was actually due to the once every three thousand years governance period of the Immortal Clan, which was about to arrive again.

The so-called governance period of the Immortal Clan involved the major clans leaving the immortal islands, by the decree of the Immortal Court, to rule over all creatures in the Land of the Four Pillars.

Originally, the ruling land of the Western Purple Immortal Clan, according to the initial decision of the Immortal Court, was in the territory of the Western Gate Pillar, but the land of over a hundred domains was simply not enough for the cultivators of the Immortal Clan to divide among themselves.

In order to obtain a better ruling land, some members of the Western Purple Immortal Clan thus traveled far to the South Gate Pillar.

However, where some agreed with this, naturally there were others who opposed it.

Gong Jing’er and the people who had sent her were among those who opposed this. They were concerned that the mobility of the Immortal Clan’s cultivators might lead to their premium territories being seized by clans from other regions.

You must understand, the size and quality of the territories in the Land of the Four Pillars governed by the clan could greatly affect the number of creatures they got to rule over.

"Once every three thousand years, the governance of the Immortal Clan..."

Tan Shuchang hadn’t expected that the presence of the immortal clan in the Land of the Four Pillars was akin to that of officials in mortal dynasties, only, the officials enjoyed the privileges of being superior to others, while these clans vied and competed for the right to rule over creatures.

"So, what exactly is this creature worship?" Tan Shuchang’s gaze shimmered slightly, for in his acquired memories, there was no detailed description about this creature worship.

However, despite the lack of description, the nature of this thing did not seem difficult to guess.

Because the Immortal Clan were like ghosts!

Tan Shuchang involuntarily thought of those three-proof ascended masters’ incarnations, whose originals, after being slain, would directly become ghostly. He originally though that all the immortals in the Land of the Four Pillars were like this; however, after many had fallen under his Star Fate Heaven and Earth, he realized that was not the case; it seemed that these three-proof ascended masters were just an exception.

But now, this exception had found its kin. Only, unlike the three-proof ascended masters who turned ghostly immediately upon death, these immortals could still return to life.

It was as if those three-proof ascended masters were just a lower, or incomplete version of "immortals"!

"Aside from those three-proof ascended masters forcibly summoned by the friend of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon, are not all other three-proof ascended masters like this..."

Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but think of the secret disclosed by Neelakanta before her departure.

"It seems that this world wants to reclaim what it once lost..." upon hearing this, Meng Xian couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

In her tone, there was lamentation and reflection, but no surprise.

"Senior Meng Xian, may I ask, what does Jiawu Realm want to reclaim?" Tan Shuchang was curious about this somewhat baffling matter.

The sudden rise of the world had interrupted his cultivation.

"Being in the heavenly ranks signifies that this world had reached the pinnacle of the mortal to the point of transforming towards the Immortal Realm. However, there already exists a Primordial Heavenly Realm, and under its disapproval, the transformation had to shift towards something like the Land of the Four Pillars. Such newly formed nearly immortal domains undoubtedly teem with various fortunes."

"Thus, inevitably, it attracted some beings. These beings, hiding their faces and using the Land of Yin and Darkness as a starting ground, plotted against this world and resulted in all its fortunes turning to void."

"And this was precisely the origin of the Rage of Heaven’s Will."

At this point, Meng Xian couldn’t help but ask, "How can you still speak the original name of this world? The heavenly ranks are unique; once this world was cast from the heavenly ranks, surely another mortal realm took the opportunity and successfully squeezed into it."

"Perhaps it’s because I gave this world a name..." Tan Shuchang found a suitable reason.

"What name?" Meng Xian was curious.

"Shenxu Heaven! Senior Meng Xian, what do you think of this name?"

"Shenxu Heaven?!"

Although Meng Xian was just repeating Tan Shuchang’s words, her tone drastically changed, and she excitedly asked, "Do you not know that the Heavenly Officer of Shenxu has died? By naming it thus, you are assuming the karma of the Shenxu Heavenly Officer, and it will attract the old enemies of Shenxu." Read latest chapters at Freewebnovel

"The old enemies of Shenxu are..." undoubtedly, Tan Shuchang was hearing of this for the first time, and just as he was about to ask who these enemies were, he saw some peculiar phenomena suddenly appearing in this world.

Then, several figures appeared out of nowhere in this world.

All these figures were clad in silver-white Daoist robes, each possessing the cultivation level of attaining eternal life.

Tan Shuchang naturally did not recognize these people, but although unfamiliar, he recognized their expressions. In the South Gate Pillar spiritual domain, the disciples from the Immortal Sects and the cultivator families mostly had a similar demeanor.

Most specifically, those cultivating the elixirs on Bai Zhi Mountain.

Now, these few individuals were looking down upon this world from above.

"The remnants of Shenxu are here; this world probably doesn’t have any Immortals. Let’s handle this quickly, the extra time will allow us to gather some life rituals since the reign of the Immortal Clan is about to begin..." said one of the figures, presumably the leader, in such a manner.

However, before he could finish his speech, he suddenly saw a figure appear not far from them.@@@@
