The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1371

Chapter 1371: Gu Sect (I) Chapter 1371: Gu Sect (I) Cain stood in the sky, his eyes glowing as he went through the memories of the Divine Transcendence Masters he had devoured.

The Everstrife Empyrean World stretched out beneath him, a boundless expanse divided into eighty-one continents.

Each continent was so massive that attempting to quantify its size seemed impossible.

Mountain ranges rivaled entire worlds, forests spanned millions of kilometers, and oceans within those landmasses were said to house leviathans larger than some Seed Worlds.

Trying to measure these continents by any normal means was simply futile, as even the greatest scholars could not find a proper comparison.

On each of these continents, there were hundreds or even thousands of organizations of all types-families that had grown into dynasties, sects that hoarded secret arts, schools that prided themselves on ancient traditions, and churches that worshipped lofty powers.

The forms of these organizations varied greatly.

Some centered on martial might, others on esoteric arts.

Some flourished through alchemy, forging divine pills, while others focused on runes and so on.

Yet, the one constant was that power ruled all: the strong stood tall, and the weak served or perished.

Organizations led by Peak Divine Transcendence Masters were considered Holy Tier Organizations.

Such entities, while powerful, could not truly influence the large-scale political tapestry of an entire continent.

They were recognized for their might, yet they remained fundamentally second-tier.

When it came to shaping the fate of a continent, their presence alone would not define the balance of power.

Things were different, however, when one spoke of Lord Tier Organizations-those led by Third Realm life forms!

The sheer power held by a Third Realm being was immeasurable, far beyond the comprehension of even the mightiest Divine Transcendence cultivators.

These entities possessed brute force incomparable to lower existences, and more importantly, they had a mastery over the principles and rules of the universe that made them appear like true, divine authorities.

When a Lord Tier Organization made a move, the entire continent felt it.  Crossing from one continent to another without the strength of a Third Realm life form or access to high-level space-time formations would take years of non-stop flight, even for Divine Transcendence cultivators.

Thankfully for Cain, his target lay within the Everlife Continent, a place near Aether’s location.

Right now, Cain’s eyes were fixed on a massive city in the distance-so colossal that it dwarfed even the largest headquarters he had known.

In comparison, the Tiamat Sect, Moon Cult, or Sun Church seemed almost modest in size.

The sprawling metropolis before him felt endless, its walls stretching beyond the horizon, each section more fortified and intimidating than the last.

“Gu Sect,” Cain’s eyes sharpened as he spoke the name of the organization in control of this gargantuan city.

The Gu Sect was an entity that had persisted for more than five hundred million years, at some point in its lengthy history ruling the entire Everlife Continent.

Although its power had waned over the eons, it remained a behemoth-one of the top three organizations on this continent.

More importantly, it was a Lord Organization, meaning its leader was a Third Realm life form.

The knowledge that a Third Realm master helmed the Gu Sect caused Cain to clench his fists, not out of fear but out of excitement.

To infiltrate an organization led by such a being was no small challenge.

The risks were immense, but so were the potential rewards.

If Cain succeeded here, it would be the first step in forging a true organization of his own within the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe.

Taking a deep breath, Cain descended to the ground.

He allowed his full willpower to flow into his Rebirth Heart while his Inner World remained hidden and isolated from detection.

One never knew what challenges lay ahead, and keeping his secrets was paramount.

Calmly, Cain made his way toward the Gu Sect.

The city surrounding it teemed with life-thousands of cultivators orbited around it, like planets drawn to a star.

The moment he approached, countless eyes focused on him.

Many forms stood around the city, belonging to the six different Sacred Races that lived in the Everstrife Empyrean World.

Cain’s gaze sharpened as he took in the variety of individuals present.

The Gu Sect did not discriminate in terms of race; all six could join.

Yet that did not mean harmony flourished within its walls.

On the contrary, it thrived on conflict and strife.

The reason all six races coexisted, or at least tolerated each other’s presence, was because the Gu Sect was a demonic sect that promoted infighting and bloodshed among its members.

Like insects trapped together in a jar, the members of the Gu Sect fought among themselves, eliminating the weak so the strong could rise by consuming the others.

This brutal philosophy nurtured a relentless environment of survival of the fittest.

A faintly amused smile appeared on Cain’s face as he observed this from a distance.

Although he could sense the killing intent and animosity in many of the gazes aimed at him, none dared make a move.

Even if they wanted to attack him, they realized that challenging a lone cultivator who dared walk straight toward their gates without fear might be suicidal.  Finally, Cain reached the north entrance of the city.

To call it majestic would be an understatement.

The gates were tall beyond measure, carved with ferocious beasts and fearsome demons, runes and sigils shimmering faintly in the stone.

Yet Cain did not lose focus.

He turned toward a booth nearby and calmly approached it.

Standing behind the booth was an old man from the Inferno Dameon Race, a member of the Hell Clan.

The old man’s eyes narrowed the moment he noticed Cain and a surge of animosity filled them.

There was no need for words; the old man’s expression said it all.

He disliked Cain’s race and presence and did not bother to hide it.

Cain silently shook his head.

He had not even uttered a single word, and yet hatred was already directed at him, purely for what he was.

Of course, Cain had no interest in wasting time on this sort of prejudice.

His purpose here was bigger than a petty confrontation.  “I am Cain Laurifer.

I came here to join the Gu Sect,” Cain said, his voice clear and calm, offering no sign of agitation despite the old man’s hostility.
