Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 356

Chapter 356 I Have Never Forgotten Who I Am!
“Rumble!!”

A supreme fell, and heaven and earth mourned.

This was the second supreme to perish on the Continent after “Su Bai” slew the Fifth Ancestor of the Heavenly Palace.

And this time, it was again one of the Heavenly Palace!

Beings at the supreme level are extremely hard to kill; a one-on-one between equals almost never ends in death. Even when Su Bai, with ten times his usual power, stepped into the Emperor Realm to kill the Heavenly Palace’s Fifth Ancestor, it still took him a long time.

Three supremos combining their strength could blast a supreme apart, but that alone was usually still insufficient to actually kill one.

However, the Sixth Ancestor of the Heavenly Palace had used the soul-slaying spikes!

Previously, the Heavenly Lord had entrusted those soul-slaying spikes to him for safekeeping. Apart from giving a few to kill the traitor within the Spirit Clan, all the rest were in his possession!

And during the fierce battle just now against the Heavenly Dao Sect’s supremos, he had secretly transferred seven soul-slaying spikes to the other side.

With Su Bai’s tacit approval, the ascendants among the Heavenly Dao Sect’s supremos naturally knew who their allies were.

Normally, even a supreme could be killed if a soul-slaying spike struck both the Sea of Consciousness and the dantian. For extra assurance, the Heavenly Palace’s Sixth Ancestor, in order to guarantee the death of the Fourth Ancestor, had actually used as many as fourteen soul-slaying spikes!

With that, how could the Fourth Ancestor possibly survive?

With a single blow, the Heavenly Palace’s Fourth Ancestor fell on the spot!

“Ah—Fourth Brother!!”

“Old Six, so you were the traitor all along!!!”

“You damn Old Six!!!”

The Heavenly Palace’s Third Ancestor’s eyes bulged with rage, his face filled with hatred.

They had never expected Old Six to betray them.

“Old Six, are you really going to give up your chance to become a True Immortal?!”

“The Heavenly Dao Sect is destined to be destroyed—don’t you understand what that lord’s methods are?” the Third Ancestor roared, disbelief written all over his face.

“Become an immortal?”

“Hahahahahaha!!!”

The Heavenly Palace’s Sixth Ancestor burst into laughter, and his mirth carried a sneer.

“Third Brother, you’re far too naive!”

“Did you ever think that lord actually wanted to help us become immortals?”

“He only treated you and me like dogs. We’re useful to him and that’s all!”

“When we cease to be useful, that will be our end!”

“If you had a chance to become an immortal, would you hand it to someone else?”

The Sixth Ancestor shook his head.

“You—!!”

Hearing this, the Third Ancestor ground his teeth in fury, yet could find no words to refute him.

Indeed, if he had a chance to become an immortal, he certainly wouldn’t willingly give it up. Even if there were more than one quota, he’d rather hoard everything for himself than let others have a share!

Still, even if the chance were only a sliver, he would fight for it!

Besides, even if he wanted to resist, that lord’s strength was not something they could oppose!

“You will die!”

“You will die horribly!!”

“That lord will awaken before long, and then under heaven and on earth he alone will be supreme!!”

“What Heavenly Dao Sect, what Su Bai—before that lord, they will all be as nothing!”

“Don’t you know just what sort of world-defying power that lord possesses?” the Heavenly Palace’s Third Ancestor grated, staring at the Sixth Ancestor, utterly unable to understand why Old Six had sided with the Heavenly Dao Sect!

“Hahaha! What you said is correct!”

“That lord’s strength is unfathomable, invincible!”

“But he is the continent’s criminal, the scourge of the human race!!”

The Sixth Ancestor of the Heavenly Palace laughed, then his face twisted into one of painful struggle.

“It was he who corrupted you, it was he who destroyed the Heaven-Defying Sect, it was he who built the Heavenly Palace and established the Immortal Alliance!!”

“It was he who continually squeezed the people of the continent, denying everyone the chance to cultivate, hoarding all the resources!”

“Now, he’s even planning to refine the whole continent!”

“Do you really believe that a man who treats living beings like grass and chaff will, when he emerges, make you all into true immortals??”

“Tell me—do you yourself believe that in your heart!!”

The Sixth Ancestor clenched his fists and roared in agitation.

His voice rang through the Nine Heavens, heard clearly in every corner.

So the Heavenly Palace harbored secrets like these!

Who, exactly, was that big shot?

“I have never once forgotten who I am!”

“I am the former guardian of the human race, I am the Great Elder of the former Heaven-Defying Sect, I am the new pillar for the human race after the Sect Master left!”

“When the old Heaven-Defying Sect was destroyed, I did everything I could to stop it, but our strength was too unequal!”

“At that time, I wanted to die to end it all, but if I died, what would become of the continent!”

“What would become of All Under Heaven!!”

“What would become of the human race!!!”

“Originally, that big shot intended to take more than ninety percent of the continent’s resources!”

“It was I who persuaded him that doing so would leave no one able to cultivate, that resources would dwindle; only then did he relent, taking only half!”

“Only then did he give the human race a breathing space to develop!!”

“I have never forgotten that I am human, that I belong to the human race!”

“But you—have forgotten who you are!!”

The Sixth Ancestor continued, and in one breath revealed all the secrets.

Even Nameless looked up to the sky at the Sixth Ancestor, his expression complicated.

He had thought the Great Elder had truly and completely betrayed the Heaven-Defying Sect…

But in fact, from beginning to end, the Great Elder had acted for the human race!!

Indeed, some people change their hearts, but others always stay true to themselves!

Even while in the Heavenly Palace, he had done everything he could to help the human race!

“I… wronged the Great Elder…”
