Chapter 1020 Experts from the Immortal Dimension

The middle-aged Dao Emperor had been aware that the surrounding cultivators could still hear his discussion with his junior brothers, but Shun Long's approach couldn't help but stun him at that moment, as the bulky short man turned around and glanced at him with a look of unconcealed surprise.

In fact, even his junior brothers couldn't help but throw the clean-shaven old man a dubious look before one of them soon asked

''Old man, have you been living under a rock for the past year? What are you even talking about? Do you not know that the Northern Sovereign has been gathering soldiers for her army lately?''

The person who had just spoken was the tall middle-aged man who had initiated their discussion earlier, the look on his face carrying more surprise than scorn as he looked at Shun Long.

In fact, not just people in the northern region but pretty much everyone in the entire continent had been aware of the movement of the 4 peak-stage Sovereigns from the Tianxuan dynasty, so how could this old man not know about it?

Just like the Northern Sovereign, the Western, the Southern, and the Eastern Sovereigns were also recruiting soldiers for their own armies, making it clear that they were preparing for something huge. Of course, whether all this was under the orders of the Tianxuan dynasty or not was still unknown to most people. Nevertheless, the short Dao Emperor seemed to have realized what Shun Long was really asking about, causing him to fall silent as he began to contemplate things.

It was not like this matter was a secret or anything but things were indeed as his junior brother had said; Unless Shun Long and his group had really been living under a rock for the past year, there's no way they wouldn't have heard about it.

However, whether it was the clean-shaven old man's hidden aura that even an early-stage Dao Emperor like him failed to sense or the way he carried himself, they both made the middle-aged man somewhat tense and uncertain of how to proceed.

At the same time, there was no reason for him to offend an unknown expert, especially not for something as simple as this matter, so after taking a deep breath the short Dao Emperor began to explain things solemnly to Shun Long and his group

''Fellow Daoist, please don't take offense at my junior brother's words. He's always been straightforward like this and I'll make sure to reprimand him later. As for the thing you seem to be curious about... it's true that a little more than a year ago, Sovereign realm experts from the 'Immortal Dimension' began to descend to our central continent in large numbers. Back then, most people were still inside the 'City of Immortals' so it's natural for fellow Daoist to not have heard about this matter just yet.''

The short Dao Emperor's words were like a hammer, momentarily stunning Shun Long and the rest behind him, all of them now staring at the middle-aged man with wide eyes.

Even children in the central continent had heard rumors about the legendary 'Immortal Dimension', but no one had ever heard of cultivators from that place descending into the central continent.

No... there had been a few instances of that happening in the past, but such cases were almost as rare as the 'City of Immortals' appearance, if not even rarer!

And yet, the short Dao Emperor merely nodded his head, as if Shun Long's and the others' reactions had been the expected result by everyone who heard this type of news before he continued

''Fellow Daoist seems to understand the gravity of the situation as well. Indeed, even in the history of our entire central continent, cases like this have been pretty much nonexistent. Nobody has ever heard of so many experts from the 'Immortal Dimension' descending at once, so it's no wonder you'd be surprised. I was the same when I heard about it!'' The short Dao Emperor then lowered his voice and looked around him warily for a brief moment before his voice rang out once more, this time clearly more subdued than before

''What's more, I heard that all of them were at the late stages of the Sovereign realm, and most of them were even peak-level Sovereign realm experts as well. Luckily there didn't seem to be any 'Earth Immortals' among them, otherwise our entire continent would have been in danger! These people appeared about half a year before the 'City of Immortals' closed and seemed to be looking for something, causing a huge fuss in the heart of the continent.

They even ended up clashing with some of the more prominent figures of the central region as a result. I heard that a few commanders under the Western Sovereign also perished during one of their clash, rousing up the entire Tianxuan dynasty! This is probably why the 4 peak-stage Sovereigns have been gathering their forces lately...''

The middle-aged Dao Emperor didn't hide anything from Shun Long, his voice getting more and more animated as he explained everything that had taken place during this last year. Shun Long even heard from the man how one of the Elders of the 'White Tiget Chamber of commerce' ended up almost losing their life as well, only to be saved by their mysterious pavilion master who interfered just in time.

It seemed that during this past half a year Shun Long had spent traveling from the Zhong city to the Desolate East, the entire central continent had been flipped upside down. And the cause behind that... were the mysterious Sovereign realm experts who had descended from the 'Immortal Dimension'!

After thanking the man and giving him a high-grade spirit stone as payment for his information, Shun Long glanced at the long queue in front of him that had already been reduced by half before a serious expression covered his aged face.

Others may not have been aware of it, but Shun Long was perfectly clear about it; For so many cultivators from the 'Immortal Dimension' to appear in the central continent simultaneously, there were only 2 possible reasons!
