Chapter 3483: Decline From the Height of Prosperity

“Over three million years ago, before the war with the Saints’ World, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens on the Reverent Observance Heaven had a Grand Exalt. Both the sect’s might and prestige was extremely glorious across the thirty-three heavens of the Immortals’ World. They were extremely powerful, such that no one in the Immortals’ World dared to provoke them.”

“At that time, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was an undisputed uncrowned king!”

“Although they said the Immortals’ World had five Grand Exalts and the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt was the greatest expert, the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt had always been alone, without a sect. He had always been an independent cultivator. As a result, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was an existence that no one dared to harass, that no organisation dared to contend with. They were an undisputed monarch.”

“During their peak, not only did the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens have a Grand Exalt, but they also had ten ancestors underneath and almost a hundred great elders. Every single ancestor was an Immortal Exalt and every single great elder was an Immortal Emperor. They had even more Immortal Monarch regular elders beneath them.”

“During the height of their influence, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was like the blazing sun that illuminated the world, bringing it limitless light. Their glow reached every inch of shade.”

“A powerful background obviously left every disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens without any fear for anything. Whether they were high level disciples or low level ones, they were all proud because they believed that as long as they had not broken any rules of the sect, as long as justice existed in their hearts and they had not done anything against their conscience, their seniors of the sect would be there to help them even if they made a hell of a mess.”

“The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had a set of extremely strict rules. These rules even restrained and guided the behaviour of disciples when they were out. As a result, every single disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was filled with a sense of righteousness and justice. When they travelled outside or were training, they never abused their power to harass others. If they did something like that, severe punishment from the sect awaited them.”

“Back then, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens possessed an extremely great reputation throughout the entire Immortals’ World. They won the praise of many organisations, and every disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was like an embodiment of justice. They did not fear authority. They did not fear any organisation. They punished the wicked and stood up for the weak.”

“During that time, as long as there were disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens around, there was light. There was justice. As a result, many immortals across the entire Immortals’ World wanted to join the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. They took glory in becoming disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

“As the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens upheld and enforced justice, they obviously provoked some enemies with powerful backgrounds or some disciples with extraordinary identities in certain peak sects. There were no regular organisations that were bold enough to provoke them. However, the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens feared nothing. Regardless of who it was or what their identity was, as long as they harassed the weak for no good reason and committed heinous deeds, the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens would kill all of them.”

“During that age, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens offended many experts and great organisations in the Immortals’ World. However, due to their strength, these organisations could only put up with them. They did not dare to do anything to the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

“One of the events that created the greatest disturbance occurred five million years ago.” The master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets glanced deeply at the sword spirits and continued, “This incident from five million years ago once created a huge uproar in the Immortals’ World, but Zi Ying and Qing Suo shouldn’t know about this. They accompanied a Grand Exalt. In my eyes, this incident could already be considered as tremendous, but it can probably only be considered as insignificant in the eyes of Grand Exalts. It would not have raised his attention.”

“Five million years ago? What exactly happened?” The sword spirits grew curious as well because they were indeed uncertain about the details. With their old master’s cultivation, a short period of secluded cultivation would last several hundred thousand years or millions of years. These small matters truly would not be enough to disturb him. There would be people beneath him to deal with them.

Grand Exalts could learn whatever they wanted about the world with a single thought and there were very little secrets to them, but why would a lofty king constantly pay attention to the daily affairs of ants?

This was absolutely meaningless to Grand Exalts.

The master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets said slowly, “The ancestor of the Wind clan, the Mistress of Contrary Winds, was a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. She united with an expert of the demonic path, the Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the Demon Exalt of Bone Corrosion, as a partner. In the end, after many years, the two of them produced a son.”

“At their heights in terms of cultivation, it was already very difficult to produce any descendants, so their child was obviously doted on by the two of them. He got whatever he wanted, no matter how ridiculous his demands were.”

“Several thousand years later, the Mistress of Contrary Winds and the Demon Exalt of Bone Corrosion’s child practised demonic arts and massacred countless immortals in an immortal region for no reason. He even extracted the souls of infants for cultivation. In the end, he was discovered by the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. In the end, the only son of the Mistress of Contrary Winds and the Demon Exalt of Bone Corrosion was slain by the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens under the reason of purging the demonic path. His soul was completely shattered.”

“With the death of their beloved son, the Mistress of Contrary Winds and the Demon Exalt of Bone Corrosion were racked with grief. The two of them rushed over to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens murderously and demanded that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens hand over the murderer of their son. They swore they would avenge their deceased child. In the end, not only did the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens refuse their request, but it even intensified the conflict between them. In the end, an ancestor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens personally injured the Mistress of Contrary Winds and the Demon Exalt of Bone Corrosion.”

“Originally, with the Mistress of Contrary Winds and the Demon Exalt of Bone Corrosion’s strength, once they were out for revenge, they could even give a headache to a tremendous entity like the twelve courts of heaven. After all, at their cultivation, not even a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt could necessarily stop them if they focused on fleeing.”

“However, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had a Grand Exalt.”

“It was also because of the Grand Exalt’s presence and the inflexible attitude of the upper echelon of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens that the Mistress of Contrary Winds and the Demon Exalt of Bone Corrosion dared not go overboard. However, this matter buried a seed of hatred in them. After all, how could they just let go of the grievance from the death of their son?”

“Of course, that’s only one of them. There was also the Immortal Sect of Five Qi. They’re also a peak organisation with an Immortal Exalt. They were not as great as the Wind clan, but they still could not be underestimated. In the past, the most beloved direct grandson of a great elder from the Immortal Sect of Five Qi was slain by the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens due to committing some heinous crimes.”

“In the past, the great elder of the Immortal Sect of Five Qi was only an Immortal Emperor. He obviously did not dare to say anything about the death of his grandson, but now, after several million years of cultivation, not only did he break through to Immortal Exalt, but he also became the paramount ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Five Qi.”.

“There’s also the Immortal Ascension sect of the twelve courts of heaven. They also had some grievances with the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

“The Immortal Ascension sect is one of the twelve courts of heaven. They’re a tremendous organisation only second to Grand Exalts in the Immortals’ World. They’ve stood at the peak of the Immortals’ World for countless years, yet in the end, even an organisation as great as them developed grudges with the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

Reaching there, the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secret sighed heavily. “The world has always followed the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak. This is a law that has never changed since time immemorial in the Immortals’ World; this place has never had any equality between immortals. There has always been differences and conflicts between ways, even hostility, as a matter of fact.”

“As a result, the dark side that unfolded throughout the Immortals’ World had already become all too common. In particular, the disciples of those large clans with impressive backgrounds were influenced by their births and the environments that they grew up in, such that many of them developed a haughty attitude in their childhood, controlling the fates of mortals and viewing life as worthless, even committing some vile deeds not fit to be seen.”

“These arrogant wastrels couldn’t be provoked by any regular organisation, so it obviously fed their arrogance. In the end, when they encountered the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens who feared nothing and bore a heart of justice, they obviously could not escape death.”

“The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had always followed the principles of enforcing justice and punishing the wicked. As a result, as long as their disciples did not kill the innocent and could prove the person they killed deserved to die, their seniors in the sects would support them through all of the consequences. They would even earn the support of their ancestors.”

“Apart from these examples, there are other similar cases. In short, during that time, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had made quite a few enemies in the Immortals’ World. Even though they upheld justice and punished crooks, standing up to all cases of unfairness, that was not what the victims thought. To them, there were only lost benefits. There was only hatred buried in their hearts.”

“However, because the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had a Grand Exalt, no one dared to touch them at all. Even the Immortal Ascension sect from the twelve courts of heaven could only swallow the humiliation.”

“If he remained around, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens would obviously be free of worries, maintaining their superior status and shining brilliantly. Unfortunately, he perished during the war with the Saints’ World three million years ago.”

“If the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had only just lost him, they would still be a colossal entity that stood supreme with their strength. Even at worst, they would be an existence on par with the twelve courts of heaven. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had ten ancestors beneath their Grand Exalt after all. Three of them were late Immortal Exalts.”

“However, the Immortals’ World was far weaker than the Saints’ World during that war. As a result, under those circumstances, the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had no other choice but to charge at the front and defeat those stronger than them. Their peak Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals faced off against Infinite Primes, while their peak Immortal Monarchs faced off against Chaotic Primes. During that time, all the opponents that the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens faced were basically a minor realm of cultivation higher than them, or they downright challenged those a major realm higher.”

“Sigh, the experts of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens truly bled during that war. All three late Immortal Exalts perished in battle. They used their lives and blood to forge a sturdy fortress, reducing much of the pressure that the Immortals’ World was under.”

“However, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ sacrifices also made them suffer extremely severe losses. After the war, only three of the ten ancestors remained. The Immortal Emperors that almost reached a hundred in number were left with less than ten. All of the experts that survived were heavily injured. No one was in proper condition.”

“It was that war that greatly wounded the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”
