Chapter 3664: Dan Chenzi
“Why don’t we talk about why the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is treating you like this instead? What great feud exists between your Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi and the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants?” Jian Chen asked calmly.
When he heard that, Dan Chenzi laughed self-deprecatingly. “A feud? How can there be a feud? How would our Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi deserve to provoke the lofty Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants? In reality, even if we were a hundred times bolder, we would not offend even a regular disciple from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”
“As for why the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants treats our Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi like this, that’s because the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants requires people to refine various pills for them.”
“The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants might be a renowned peak organisation of the Reverent Observance Heaven, but in reality, they’re an extremely selfish sect. If they require God Tier pills, many experts in the Immortals’ World can refine them. With the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ strength, they can ask Immortal Exalts to refine God Tier pills for them effortlessly.”
“However, requesting others to refine pills for them would come at a certain cost. It’s fine if it’s just a one-off occasion, but when it comes to long periods of time, that’s not an expense that the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants wants to pay.”
“As a part of the Daemon race, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is naturally unskilled at alchemy due to their species and bloodline. Meanwhile, they require many pills for their cultivation, so they can only find other people to refine these pills for them.”
“There are many Immortal Exalt alchemy grandmasters in the Immortals’ World, but all of them are figures of great reputation without any exceptions. They are well-connected, and some of them are even close with some supreme experts. As a result, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants has qualms about experts like that. They don’t have the courage to go after them, so the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants lowered their requirements and turned their attention to our Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi. Our Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi isn’t at the very top in terms of strength on the Reverent Observance Heaven, but we possess quite some status when it comes to alchemy.”
“In the beginning, when the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants turned their interest towards us, we had expressed that we were willing to submit to them and become a subsidiary of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. We were willing to refine pills for the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”
“However, our words did not bear much weight. The strongest expert in the sect was me, and I was the only Immortal Emperor. Faced with the forceful Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, our Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi did not even have the right to become a subsidiary. In the end, the entire sect, several hundred thousand disciples in total, were enslaved by the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”
“The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants demanded that all the experts of our Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi refine pills for them day and night and without any compensation.”
“They required complete control and enslavement, not submission.” Dan Chenzi explained slowly.
His face was gloomy as if he no longer held any hope for the future.
After hearing what Dan Chenzi said, Jian Chen could not help but sympathise with the Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi. A sect with a single Immortal Emperor obviously stood no chance before the colossal organisation that was the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. They were no different from ants.
Dan Chenzi sighed gently and continued, “Our Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi stood on the Reverent Observance Heaven for several hundred thousand years. We had developed some connections, but unfortunately, we ran into the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”
“Before the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, the connections that our Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi had developed were absolutely nothing. As a result, we could only accept our fate.”
“Right now, I only have one wish, which is to hopefully last until the day when a certain ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants would suddenly show kindness and release our Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi.”
Jian Chen said, “You said that several hundred thousand disciples of your Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi were captured, but I only see a few thousand of them here. Where are the rest?”
“They’re all dead!” When he mentioned this topic, Dan Chenzi became extremely sorrowful.
Jian Chen narrowed his eyes.
Dan Chenzi continued, “The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants despised these disciples for their low cultivations and the fact that they could not refine any high level pills. The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants refused to spend the resources and time to nurture them, so these disciples were all eaten by the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Only the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal disciples survived.”
“Several hundred thousand disciples were all eaten?” Jian Chen was astounded.
Dan Chenzi’s eyes were hollow. He muttered to himself, “Yeah, they were all eaten. The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants are daemons. To daemons, eating people is perfectly normal, not to mention the fact that everyone in the Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi refines pills, so they bear the presence of pills to various degrees. Eating them is like eating pills to the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”
Jian Chen fell silent. Dan Chenzi was the mighty leader of a sect, yet all he could do was watch helplessly as the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants ate his disciples one by one like pills. He struggled to imagine just how much pain and just how helpless Dan Chenzi felt back then.
A while later, Jian Chen said slowly, “Given the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ past behaviour, it’s best if you give up on the idea that the ancestors of their sect will show kindness and release the disciples of your Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi, as that’s completely impossible.”
Dan Chenzi said nothing, except his eyes became even gloomier. His despair grew heavier as well. Life had become meaningless to him.
“If you really want to change the fate of several thousand disciples of your Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi, there is only one way, which is to resist with everything you have and kill your way out,” Jian Chen continued.
“That’s useless. The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is too powerful. We stand no chance.” Dan Chenzi had grown numb to the world.
“The Immortal Exalt ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants aren’t around right now. There is only a group of Immortal Emperors in the sect,” said Jian Chen.
“So what? Let alone the fact that we stand no chance against the Immortal Emperors left here, even if we do escape, we won’t be able to avoid the fate of being hunted down by the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.” Dan Chenzi shook his head and said, “The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is a remnant of the Immortals’ World, and they have the support of the Sacred Beast clan. There’s not a single organisation throughout the entire Immortals’ World that’s bold enough to oppose the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Nothing good can come out of opposing the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”
Dan Chenzi looked at Jian Chen and said, “Fellow, I can’t tell what your cultivation is, but please hear me out. Seeing how the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants still hasn’t discovered you, leave quickly.”
Jian Chen could see how Dan Chenzi’s fear towards the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had already reached a point where he could not develop any ideas of resistance. Perhaps the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had already become a subconscious symbol of invincibility in Dan Chenzi’s mind.
He did not say anything more, as he knew that no matter what he tried, he could not change Dan Chenzi’s mind anymore.
“Given how ruthless the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is, it shouldn’t just be your Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi that’s imprisoned here, right?” Jian Chen began to investigate.
“Apart from our Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi, there were indeed a few other Immortal Emperors with some mastery over the Way of Alchemy that the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had captured, but these Immortal Emperors are all dead.” Dan Chenzi sighed. “If it weren’t for all the disciples beneath me, I might have ended myself a long time ago as well.”
“Apart from alchemy experts, are there any other people?” Jian Chen said.
Dan Chenzi thought about it for a while and answered with uncertainty, “I’ve been imprisoned here the entire time, so I don’t understand the situation outside particularly well. As a result, I’m not certain whether there are other experts imprisoned here.”
“However, many of the God Tier pills that the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants need requires the essence blood of Immortal Emperors or the organs of powerful immortals to forge. Logically speaking, materials of such a level are very difficult to obtain, but the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is able to produce some once every now and then. They’ve never run out. This has already continued for several hundred thousand years.”
“As a result, I suspect that there are other experts imprisoned in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, facing hellish torture. However, I don’t know where.”
“Thank you for telling me. However, please keep my existence a secret.” Jian Chen clasped his fist at Dan Chenzi.
“Don’t worry, I hate the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants more than anyone. I would never divulge your presence. I do hope you can escape here safely without falling into the hands of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants like the other experts, but if I were to be honest, I also hope that you could kill some disciples of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”
“As long as I can witness the deaths of disciples of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, I will feel great comfort.”
