Chapter 1069: Terrifying Realm, Dreadful Puppets
Editor: Henyee Translations

“I, from the Wu Xin Sect, agree to set up the Mystic Heavenly Array of Cosmic Fate!”

“I represent the Divine Shadow Gate and agree with Sect Master Jiang’s proposal.”

“I, from the Icy Heart Sect, agree to Jiang Sect Master’s arrangement of the Mystic Heavenly Array of Cosmic Fate.”

Under the awe inspired by Daolord Pantheon and Shen Ruoyan, a silence first fell over the summit of Wuliang Mountain. Soon after, one voice after another began to express their agreement.

Eventually, even those sects that harbored concerns had no choice but to join the consensus.

Jiang Chengxuan’s proposal to set up the Mystic Heavenly Array of Cosmic Fate had won unanimous approval from the sects present. This moment could be said to be the most unified that Floodgate Realm had been in hundreds of years, all thanks to Jiang Chengxuan’s prestige or perhaps his charismatic leadership.

“Excellent! On behalf of all beings in Floodgate Realm, I thank you all for your righteousness. I, Jiang Chengxuan, will commit myself fully to this cause!”

It was only then that Jiang Chengxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his face breaking into a warm smile. He knew that his trip here was worthwhile as the troubling issue of the celestial calamity that had plagued him for so long was finally seeing a turnaround.

After gaining absolute authority in the discussion, Jiang Chengxuan streamlined the meeting. The details for setting up the Mystic Heavenly Array of Cosmic Fate were quickly distributed among the sects, who was responsible for what resources, and which sect had experts skilled in divination were all meticulously organized.

The location for setting up the Mystic Heavenly Array of Cosmic Fate was ultimately decided to be within the Haoran Sect. Naturally, no other sects objected, as there was arguably no safer place in Floodgate Realm than the Haoran Sect, the only sect guarded by three Daolords.

As everyone began to relax with the progressive implementation of the Mystic Heavenly Array of Cosmic Fate, in a certain part of Floodgate Realm, within a barrier, a tremendous horror was quietly brewing.

Dark and crimson malevolent energies swirled and churned continuously, transforming the area into a realm devoid of Floodgate Realm’s essence. Both Dao principles and spiritual power were morphed into an existence akin to that of the demonic abyss.

Amidst the thick, lava-like malevolent energy, indistinct figures could be seen bathing within, motionless and lifeless like statues, completely filling this hellish scene.

If anyone from Floodgate Realm were there, they would recognize that the mysteriously vanished sects and their disciples were all present here!

However, at this moment, these disciples had all been turned into puppets!

Their bodies still fluctuated with Dao principles and power, but these were utterly malevolent, clearly having been transformed into something demonic.

In this place, the six vanished super-sects of Floodgate Realm had transformed into tens of thousands of puppet disciples!

Such a force was terrifyingly formidable within the Floodgate Realm.

What kind of being could create such a horrific spectacle?

Just then, in this demonic realm, a sinister, chilling laughter suddenly echoed, unending and pervasive.

Instantly, numerous demonic shadows appeared, flitting between the rows of disciple puppets.

Their appearances were bizarre and foreboding, and an overwhelming aura of supreme horror radiated from them.

As these demonic shadows passed by the puppets, they would lean in close, inhaling deeply through their nostrils as if savoring something, and with that, invisible screams of agony echoed through the void.

“Wait a little longer, just a little longer. Once I loosen the barriers of this realm completely, the time for my true form to descend will come.”

“Heh heh heh!!!”

In this realm of demons, a voice filled with eager anticipation rose, utterly eerie, as if it belonged to neither man, beast, ghost, nor demon, echoing the dread akin to that of a legendary demon from tales of old.

…

Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, decades had elapsed.

Throughout these years, the tense atmosphere in Floodgate Realm remained unrelieved.

However, amid this tension, there was no despair; instead, each sect was busy preparing for the Mystic Heavenly Array of Cosmic Fate with hopeful anticipation.

Finally, on a cloudless day, processions of disciples from various sects appeared at the foot of Haoran Sect’s Cloud Mist Peak.

Numerous disciples of Haoran Sect watched from a distance, unclear about the purpose of this large assembly but sensing from their demeanor the significance of their sect in these proceedings.

“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience!”

Atop Cloud Mist Peak, a voice resounded, followed by the figures everyone had been waiting for emerging slowly from the misty clouds.

Naturally, it was Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruoyan.

Looking down at the groups of disciples from various sects dressed in colorful robes below Cloud Mist Peak, they also felt a sense of nervous anticipation.

“Master Jiang! Long time no see!”

“Master Jiang, we have prepared all the necessary resources, ready to set up the formation!”

As they landed, numerous sect leaders greeted them respectfully, their voices filled with deference.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruoyan returned the greetings without any display of arrogance.

“Let’s not delay any further. Follow me to the site of the formation.”

Without much further ado, Jiang Chengxuan led all the sect representatives towards the interior of the Haoran Sect.

Along the way, the visiting sect disciples exchanged looks with the Haoran Sect disciples around them, each with their thoughts and emotions.

The disciples of the Haoran Sect felt both curious and proud, while the visiting sect leaders were inevitably struck by the strength of Haoran Sect.

Soon, under Jiang Chengxuan’s guidance, they arrived at a vast ceremonial ground that he had prepared for setting up the Mystic Heavenly Array of Cosmic Fate.

The ground itself was infused with many of Jiang Chengxuan’s arrangements and contingencies, and the sect representatives stepping into it felt an extraordinary resonance with the universe, as if their powers were amplified a hundredfold just by being there.

Especially those from various corners of Floodgate Realm skilled in divination, they felt this most acutely. The place held a deep understanding of the laws of causality.

After experiencing this, even those who were initially skeptical about the arrangement were now completely convinced and filled with admiration.

Whoever had set up this place, their mastery over the art of divination must have reached a nearly inhuman level. Just the preliminary setup alone was enough to demonstrate such profound knowledge of divination that it surpassed their understanding.

“Truly terrifying, the master of Haoran Sect.”
