Chapter 33

The sect elders who had plotted Itachi's 'expulsion' from the sect at this point were pale. They never expected that the son of the sect leader would return with a cultivation that they would probably never achieve in their entire lives. Besides, the boy is only ten years old, and what does that mean?

When he is older he will probably have a much higher cultivation than that seen by the people of this Empire, after all, it was the first time these elders had seen a Profound Emperor Realm cultivator at the age of ten.

Even the Sacred Grounds might not have this kind of person among their ranks.

Itachi just ignored the looks of these elders, he really didn't care about them, with his current strength these elders were nothing more than ants that could be dealt with at any moment, so what would be the point of picking on them?

Gong Yuxian looked at her son and then at the sect elders, she was very disappointed with these elders who seemed to have been blinded by the indoctrination of the sect. As Itachi's mother, she knew some of his personality, so she didn't worry about him taking revenge, but still, she was disappointed.

"If they weren't blinded by indoctrination, then my son might never have left the sect..." She thought.

Thoughts of replacing these elders also crossed her mind but that would have to be dealt with in the future, this was because she was also surprised to realize that her son was in the Emperor Profound Realm.

"My son is so talented." She thought happily hugging Itachi tighter.

...

Having returned to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, Itachi was happy, and now in the sect meeting room it was just him and his mother talking about the time he spent in Heavenly Sword Villa, he told his mother that the sect people treated him very well, especially the sect leader, but he didn't hesitate to say that this was just a facade and that they were actually trying to brainwash him so that they could control him.

When she heard that the Heavenly Sword Villa wanted to brainwash her son, Gong Yuxian was about to stand up and declare war against this sect, but in the end, she was stopped by Itachi who said that if they fought against this sect they were likely to lose, this is because the Heavenly Sword Villa has the support of a Holy Ground.

"So what should we do?" Gong Yuxian asked Itachi and herself.

She was no fool, her son would one hour or another appear to the outside world, and at this time Heavenly Sword Villa is likely to come after him and also the sect. And thanks to the support that Heavenly Sword Villa has from a Holy Ground, it will only be a matter of time before they are extinct.

"We can only prepare for a future battle, besides, if it's like you told me, it will take them a few years before they target our sect, moreover, we can also delay their conquest of territories. And the best way to do that is to conquer other areas and strengthen them." Gong Yuxian said.

Itachi also thought the same way, he knew about Ling Yuefeng's plans so it wouldn't be a problem to delay them while he strengthens himself. With his current cultivation he feels that he can fight a cultivator of the peak of the Profound Emperor Realm, but he will only be sure of that statement once he fights someone of this level.

Another thing was that a war is not won alone, and this he learned in the shinobi world, and for this reason he was willing to gather allies that could help him in battles, and also strengthen them, and who better as an ally than the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace itself? Itachi would be a fool not to strengthen this sect that is in his hands.

"Mother, I left something for last..." Itachi said with a rare smile on his face.

Gong Yuxian looked a little confused at her son but nodded as she followed his footsteps to a secluded area of the sect.

...

In a far corner within the sect, Itachi pulled out a square shaped item from within his storage ring, this item is precisely the Deep Ladders that he asked Ling Yuefeng to give him control of. With this item, he could bring the Deep Ladders to the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace causing his sect to rapidly strengthen.

By pressing the button that was on the left side of the square item, a quick tremor happened in the sect, causing some of the elders to look confused in a certain area of the sect. And when they looked more closely, they realized that a huge Staircase had appeared, and these Staircases seemed to emit an extremely dense Profound Energy.

Curious about what had happened, all the sect elders went in this isolated direction of the sect, even the Seven Fairies and the disciples were no exception and ran in this direction.

Upon arriving at the place, all these women were surprised by the scene ahead.

There was a huge staircase that seemed to have no end, the Profound Energy of the staircase seemed to increase as each step higher. But this was not what surprised the female disciples, but that the son of the sect leader had returned.

This news for the female disciples was much more encouraging than these Deep Stairs.

The opposite also happened, the sect elders were surprised that such a treasure appeared in the sect, but when they saw an item in Itachi's hand, they knew who was responsible for such an achievement.

"Good, good, you have indeed brought us a great surprise, child." A somewhat old voice, but one that contained a small touch of affection sounded, making all the sect elders bow heavily as they realized whose voice it was.

The former sect leader had finally come out of seclusion!
