How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

"System, activate the Heavenly Pride Battlefield."

"Ding, the Battlefield of Prodigies is manifesting..."

Suddenly, a loud bang came from somewhere in the sect, and a huge building rose from the ground, attracting the attention of all the sect disciples.

"This building has a really peculiar shape, what exactly is it?"

"It's probably another new facility manifested by the sect. Every now and then, facilities manifest, and sometimes elders emerge from seclusion. I just don't know what this thing is for yet."

"Oh, I had forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it, senior brother. That's exactly right."

"Let's wait for the elder's notification and find out what it is before we go to investigate."

"Elder Shen, please inform the disciples that the facility that just appeared is called the Prodigy Battlefield, and it's used to hone their skills. Once you enter the battlefield, an opponent of similar strength will be automatically generated. Also, the Prodigy Battlefield is open to all disciples free of charge."

"Yes, Sect Master." Shen Zhixia went to make the arrangements as Lu Chen instructed.

"System, use four purple character summoning cards."

"Ding, character summoning..."

Above the Wanfa Sect, the space suddenly trembled, and then four figures slowly walked out from the spatial rift, each exuding a majestic imperial aura.

"I am the Great Emperor Dan Chen of the Myriad Laws Sect."

He held a huge imperial weapon, a pill furnace, in his hand. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it lightly. Countless phantom pills flew out of the furnace, and the air was instantly filled with a rich medicinal fragrance.

"I am the Great Emperor Cang, the master of all laws."

He held a great hammer, an imperial weapon, and was surrounded by countless phantom images of divine weapons. His gaze seemed to be able to discern the material of everything.

"I am the Great Emperor Xuan of the Wanfa Sect."

He walked out slowly, his fingertips lightly flicking, and countless runes intertwined in the air, instantly enveloping the entire space.

"I am the Great Emperor of the Myriad Laws Sect, the Ink Talisman Emperor."

With a light tap of his pen, countless golden runes flowed like light, writing the three large characters "Wanfa Zong" in the air, each character containing terrifying power of law.

When the disciples of the Wanfa Sect saw that the four people in the air were actually the sect's Great Emperors, they all jumped up excitedly.

The elders and disciples bowed and said, "Disciples greet Emperor Danchen, Emperor Qicang, Emperor Zhenxuan, and Emperor Mofu."

"Yes, get up, everyone."

Sensing the location of the sect leader, the four flew straight towards Wanfa Peak.

One of the female disciples jumped up excitedly and laughed, "That's great! Dan Dao Peak has a Great Emperor now! When the peak recruits disciples, I definitely want to participate in the assessment."

"I want to go to Zhudao Peak to learn weapon crafting."

"The major mountains will start recruiting disciples after this opening ceremony."

The four emperors approached Lu Chen and respectfully bowed, saying, "Your subordinates greet the sect master."

"No need for formalities, please rise."

"Dan Chen, from now on you will be the peak master of Dan Dao Peak; Qicang, you will be the peak master of Zhu Dao Peak; Zhen Xuan, you will be the peak master of Huan Zhen Peak; Mo Fu, you will be the peak master of Xuan Fu Peak."

"Yes, Sect Master, we will certainly live up to your expectations."

"Very good. In ten days, it will be the day to open the mountain and recruit disciples. At that time, each peak can recruit disciples. Go down and familiarize yourselves with the situation."

"Yes, Sect Master."

After the four left, Lu Chen looked at the cultivation upgrade card in the system space and felt a surge of joy.

Without further hesitation, Lu Chen silently recited "use". The next second, the cultivation enhancement card instantly transformed into a dazzling golden beam of light, surging into his dantian.

In an instant, a pure energy far exceeding his own cultivation level by a thousand times surged through his body like a raging tsunami. Wherever it passed, his previously taut meridians were instantly widened and tempered, becoming increasingly resilient and expansive. Under the scouring of this immortal-level energy, the true essence of the Great Emperor realm rapidly transformed and purified, shedding its mortal aura and gradually acquiring wisps of immortal charm.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be drawn to him at an extreme, frantically converging around Lu Chen to form a visible vortex of spiritual energy that continuously poured into his body. The originally unbreakable barrier of his cultivation realm, under the support of the immense energy and Daoist principles brought by the system's cultivation card, became as if it were nothing, rapidly dissolving and crumbling.

Lu Chen held his breath and focused his mind, fully activating the "Divine Demon Technique" to guide this vast energy. Unexpectedly, he did not encounter the difficulties and obstacles he had imagined. He directly crushed the Heavenly Dao barrier between the Half-Immortal Realm and the Great Emperor Realm, and an aura that transcended the mortal world slowly rose from his body.

The Emperor's body emitted a series of thunderous crackling sounds. His physical body was repeatedly forged by immortal energy, and every inch of his skin and every drop of his blood was undergoing a qualitative transformation, causing his physical strength to soar to an extremely terrifying level. His dantian and qi sea continued to expand, transforming into a small immortal pool. The true essence in the pool was completely transformed into pale golden immortal essence, which carried the pressure of heaven and earth as it flowed. His divine soul also surged, and he was able to clearly perceive the rhythm of heaven and earth within a radius of thousands of miles, and even capture the fragments of the Heavenly Dao Laws floating in the air.

A moment later, Lu Chen's aura completely stabilized, and a powerful, ethereal, and majestic aura far surpassing that of a Great Emperor swept out, even causing the air to slightly distort.

He slowly stood up, clenched his fist, and felt the surging immortal energy within his body. A smile appeared on his lips: Half-Immortal Level 1, achieved!

Seeing Lu Chen's change, Hua Ruoxi's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and with a "crack," the cup fell to the ground and shattered.

Hua Ruoxi ignored the broken cups on the ground, and just looked at Lu Chen quietly, saying, "Sect Master, you are too strong. You seem to have changed again, becoming ethereal and otherworldly, as if you have returned to your true nature."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Hurry up and clean up the broken pieces of the cup on the floor."

"Oh... okay, I'll take care of it now."

Northern Territory...

Inside the Northern Sea Ice God Palace...

Seeing that only the two patriarchs had returned, Bing Xuanji rushed to Xue Qianyin's side, grabbed her hand, and asked anxiously, "Senior Sister, why hasn't the Empress returned? Didn't you and Second Senior Sister go there with the Soul Imprint?"

"Yes, Great Ancestor, why are only you and the Second Ancestor back? Didn't the Empress come back with you?" Bingxuanji asked as well.

"Sigh! Let's sit down first and talk about it then," Xue Qianyin said with a sigh.

"Ancestor, what exactly happened?"

"Alas! This matter is complicated, but rest assured, the Empress is currently safe."

"Ancestor, with your combined abilities, there should be very few places on the Xuanhuang Continent that could keep Her Majesty the Empress, right?"

"Following the Soul Imprint, we found our way to the Myriad Laws Sect in the Eastern Region, where the Empress resides."

"What? The Empress is at the Myriad Laws Sect? Why would she go to the Myriad Laws Sect?" Bing Xuanji suddenly stood up and said in surprise.

"Indeed, it was within the Myriad Laws Sect. Later, the two of us were invited into the sect by the sect leader and met Empress Bingli. However... however, the Empress was unwilling to return to the Ice God Palace and even became the disciple of the sect leader, the Great Emperor, of the Myriad Laws Sect."

"What? The Empress has become the disciple of the Sect Master of the Myriad Laws Sect? Senior Sister, the more I hear this, the more confused I get."

"Third Sister, you heard right. The Empress did indeed become the disciple of the Sect Master of the Myriad Laws Sect. She said that she would definitely be able to cultivate to the peak in the Myriad Laws Sect, and she also asked the two of us to come back and lead the Ice God Palace to develop well."

"Ancestor, we have waited for the Empress for so long, how can she just give up on our Ice God Palace like this?" Bing Xuanji said excitedly.

"Xuan Ji, shut up! The Ice God Palace's current glory is all thanks to the Empress. Her choosing her own path of cultivation doesn't mean she's completely abandoned the Ice God Palace. Currently, we've established friendly relations with the Myriad Laws Sect through the Empress. If our Ice God Palace really encounters any trouble, the Empress won't ignore it. Right now, our Ice God Palace should focus on nurturing our talented disciples; let's not think about anything else."

"Ancestor, it was my fault. I misspoke."

"Xuan Ji, you must cultivate diligently from now on and break through to the Quasi-Emperor realm as soon as possible," Shuang Hua said.

"Yes, Second Ancestor. I will entrust some affairs of the Ice God Palace to Nianxi to handle, so that I can have more time for cultivation."

"Xuan Ji, you don't need to worry too much. The Sect Master of the Myriad Laws Sect gave us six peaches of immortality, which increased the lifespan of each of us three old women by two thousand years. In this way, we can probably protect the Ice God Palace for about three thousand years. During these three thousand years, our Ice God Palace must cultivate several more quasi-emperors."

"Ancestor, this is wonderful! Three thousand more years is enough!" Bing Xuanji said excitedly.

At that moment, four unfamiliar and powerful imperial auras emanated from the Eastern Region.

When everyone heard that these were the four Great Emperors of the Myriad Laws Sect, especially the two patriarchs, they were glad that they had made the right choice.

"Third sister, come with us back to the forbidden area for seclusion. Although the Empress has become a direct disciple of the Imperial Clan, we cannot rely too much on the Myriad Laws Sect. In these three thousand years, we hope that we can also break through one or two minor realms."
