Ling Yin sat in the hall and did not say a word from beginning to end. It was only now that Yi Huanzhen saw her softly say, “There is no need to be too afraid of the matter of the Heavens beyond Heaven. Instead, there are more sects’ opinions among the various sects now. It seems like they are separated from each other.”

“Yes, that’s right, Junior Sister is right …”

Excellency Xuanyang kept stroking his beard and nodding. Normally, he had always been at odds with Ling Yin, and it was rare for him to agree with him like this.

After a while, I saw him looking at Daoist Qingxuan again, “Senior Brother Sect Leader, I think what Junior Sister said just now is very reasonable. Right now, all sects in the world have different intentions, and I, Xuan Qing, am worthy of being the leader. However, to this day, I am truly nameless …”

At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, “How about this time, I, Xuan Qing, call myself the leader of all the sects in the Ancient Land of Xianyuan, the leader of all the righteous sects? In this way, all the sects can no longer have internal strife, and can work together to fight against foreign enemies.”

At the end of his sentence, Excellency Xuanyang looked at Ling Yin and asked, “Junior Sister Ling Yin, what do you think?”

Actually, what Ling Yin said just now only said that the sect masters seemed to be divorced from each other. On the surface, they seemed to have the same aura, but secretly, they were fighting over each other. They never said that they wanted Xuan Qing to be the head of the sect or anything like that.

At this moment, it seemed that she was the one who suggested it, causing Excellency Xuanyang to take the lead.

At this moment, Ling Yin did not respond, but above the hall, Daoist Qingxuan fell into deep thought. It seemed that he had wanted to say this long ago, but he had not said anything.

Today, he had summoned the other six Excellency to this Heavenly Pivot Peak. They were not just discussing the matter of Heaven beyond Heaven. It seemed that Excellency Xuanyang’s judgement of appearance had really hit Daoist Qingxuan’s mind.

At this moment, Excellency Mei Yue said, “If Xuan Qing takes the lead, Cangfeng Valley will definitely be the first to object. Yu Xu Guan and Qinghong Sect will definitely not be convinced. Most importantly, the Heavenly Gate …”

“That’s right.”

“The Heavenly Gate is already on guard against Excellency,” Li Yuan Xuan Qing said. “If Xuan Qing were to take the lead at this time, the Heavenly Gate would probably make a big fuss about it and say that our Xuan Qing harbors evil intentions, wanting to control all forces in Xianyuan’s ancient lands.”

“En …”

Above the hall’s head, Daoist Qingxuan’s expression was solemn as he stroked his beard and nodded. He had thought about all this, but if Xuan Qing did not claim to be the head, the entire ancient land of Xianyuan would be a pile of sand.

Although there was a Heavenly Gate in the Eastern Region, in the end, the Heavenly Gate was only an organization formed by various sects. It was very difficult for such an organization to truly condense the various sects.

If all the forces in the world couldn’t gather together, and if there wasn’t a single leader among so many sects, it would be impossible for them to fight against the Outer Heavens.

Just as the hall fell into silence, Yi Huanzhen suddenly said, “Since Qing Emperor, the world has become a tray of scattered sand, but Heaven beyond Heaven, we may not necessarily see a sincere unity.”

“Junior Brother, what you said is …”

The Profound Hidden Mirror looked at him, and its eyes narrowed slightly, as if it could sense something.

Li Yuan Excellency nodded and said, “Junior Brother Huanzhen is right. The Heavens beyond Heaven can sow discord between various forces in the mortal world. It’s not impossible for us to treat them with their own methods.”

On this day, when twilight fell, a few Excellency came out of the Heavenly Pivot Hall. Before they left, Daoist Qingxuan called Ling Yin again, “Ling Yin, wait.”

“Senior Brother … Is there anything else?”

Ling Yin stopped. After the others left, Azure Mysterious True Master came down from the head of the hall and looked at her for a while before asking, “How is your recent cultivation?”

Ling Yin slowly turned around and looked out of the hall, saying, “There is a layer of dreams that cannot be solved.”

“Dream realm?”

Hearing this, Daoist Qingxuan’s expression froze. He naturally knew that the dreams of cultivators were particularly important. He asked, “What kind of dreams are they? Can you tell me?”

“I don’t remember …”

Ling Yin shook her head and looked at the white clouds outside the hall. She said, “Every time I wake up, I forget what that dream is like. I only vaguely remember that I transformed into a mysterious bird and was imprisoned in a cage.”

“This …”

Hearing her words, Daoist Qingxuan’s expression became even more solemn. He stroked his beard and muttered to himself, “There’s actually such a strange dream …”

“Senior Brother, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to Purple Night Peak first.”

“You go …”

Seeing her disappear into the clouds, Daoist Qingxuan’s eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper. Finally, he left the hall alone and walked towards the back mountain.

“Sand–Sand–”

Lian Feng Tower’s fallen leaves seemed to be unable to be completely cleaned up, and in the direction where the rustling sounds came from, that lonely figure was exceptionally miserable under the cold wind and setting sun.

He still remembered that back then, there was at least a youth, Yi Chen, who would often come here and talk to him for a few words. However, very few people would come here now.

“Even if Lian Feng goes to the sky, he won’t be able to reach a foot. Withered Pine hangs upside down against the cliff

However, fourteen words were still left on the precipice of Lian Feng Tower. The fourteen words seemed to be perfectly natural to Lian Feng Tower.

“Martial Uncle.”

In the distance, Daoist Qingxuan walked over. The old man in front of him wielding a broom and sweeping the floor was Yi Chen, who taught Daoist Kusong the roar of the withered dragon. He was also the former Purple Night Peak Excellency.

As for his identity, he was Daoist Master Xuan Yin’s junior apprentice-brother, also known as Xuanqing Sect’s junior-uncle … At the same time, he was Daoist Qingxuan’s master.

“Qing Xuan, what are you doing here today?”

“I’m just here to see Martial Uncle.”

Daoist Qingxuan slowly walked over. Under the setting sun, one of them stood upright, his aura extraordinary, and the other looked like a candle in the wind, endless vicissitudes.

“How about you discuss the matter of Heaven’s Beyond today?” Daoist Kusong asked casually as he swept through the fallen leaves on the ground, not raising his head to look at him.

Azure Mysterious True Humanity said, “Heaven’s Beyond Heaven has been secretly splitting up all forces in the world, causing open and secret strife among all sects, incessant contradictions …”

Hearing him say this, Daoist Kusong suddenly stopped. At this moment, he raised his head and two gazes landed on him. It was like a gaze coming from below the abyss, as if it could pierce through everything. He said, “You plan to let Xuanqing Sect take the lead at this time.”

Daoist Qingxuan took a deep breath and walked towards the edge of the cliff. He slowly said, “If there is no leader in the Righteous path, how can we fight against a strong enemy? How can we fight against the Outer Heavens?”

“Sigh …”

Daoist Kusong let out a sigh and said, “Qing Xuan, back then, your comprehension was the highest. That’s why Senior Brother Xuan Yin handed over the entire Xuanqing Sect to you. Now, don’t lose yourself in this 10,000 meter world.”

“Martial Uncle’s words are too heavy.”

Daoist Qingxuan turned around. At this moment, his gaze seemed to contain a trace of paranoia. He added, “When Master left back then, he said that the most regrettable thing was that he was unable to see Xuanqing Sect rise again. But now, I have never forgotten his words. I want Xuan Qing to return to its former glory …”

“You … sigh!”

Daoist Kusong shook his head and sighed. The two of them stood quietly without saying a word to each other. The night gradually fell. Azure Mysterious True Humanity said, “It’s already late today. I have to go back. Take care, Martial Uncle.” After saying that, he went back and forth again.

Daoist Kusong looked at his paranoid figure with a worried expression on his face. In the darkness of the night, it was as if another sigh had sounded.

‘”Ever since the beginning of the Immortal Devil Path, the path of cultivation has been filled with devilish puzzlement everywhere. It is the Heavenly Devil, not the Dark Devil … Qing Xuan, your perception is second to none among the three thousand years and more of the Sect Leaders of Xuanqing Sect. Once you sink, you will never be able to extricate yourself, alas.”

…

Ancient Immortal Realm, Butterfly Gathering valley.

“Martial Uncle, what should we do? If this turbid immortal world spiritual energy seeps in, I’m afraid it will actually contaminate the immortal energy of our Immortal Realm …”

At the entrance of the valley, Fairy Shuiyue was leading many disciples to purify the immortal spiritual energy that had seeped into Butterfly Gathering valley.

In the past month, the entire Ancient Immortal Realm had been in turmoil. Countless immortal spiritual pulses had been destroyed, and from time to time, the heavens and earth would undergo drastic changes. The immortal spiritual energy had also increased by a lot.

The spiritual energy of the Immortal Dimension should be the purest, but for some reason, some of the spiritual energy of the Immortal Dimension seemed to have been “contaminated”, becoming muddy and flowing everywhere.

Butterfly Gathering valley’s immortal energy was extremely pure. Once the turbid immortal world spiritual energy entered, it would definitely be a great loss. Therefore, he could only let his disciples continuously purify the infiltrating spiritual energy. However, if this continued, there was no way. He had to cut off the source of the spiritual energy.

But even Fairy Rain Butterfly didn’t know where the source of the turbid spiritual energy came from. At this moment, she frowned deeply and thought to herself, could it be that Divine Devil Abyss’s aura had tainted the spiritual energy of the Immortal Dimension?

Obviously, this turbid spiritual energy must have flowed throughout Ancient Immortal Realm, and it was not only on Butterfly Gathering valley’s side.

“Shui Yue, take your men outside and cut off the’ditches’ where the spiritual energy flows from outside.”

“Alright.”

Fairy Shuiyue did not hesitate to cut off the spiritual energy outside of Butterfly Gathering valley. It was better than letting the spiritual energy seep in and purify it.

Just like that, another month passed. During this month, quite a few disciples of Butterfly Gathering valley went out to cut off Spiritual Energy’s flow every day to prevent the turbid spiritual energy from seeping in and staining Butterfly Gathering valley’s immortal energy.

Xiao Chen had been trapped here for more than half a year. The spiritual energy in the Immortal Dimension outside was getting stronger and stronger. He could feel that the rain and dew in the Immortal Dimension would condense in the next few months. No matter what, he had to think of a way to leave this time.

Coincidentally, these two days happened to coincide with Fairy Rain Butterfly’s monthly seclusion, and Fairy Shuiyue had something to do outside. He had to leave this place before Fairy Shuiyue returned.

Behind Butterfly Gathering valley, there was a green valley. There were more than a dozen multicolored lakes inside. The spiritual energy was very dense, and bathing in the lake could stabilize one’s cultivation. Therefore, this was the place where the little fairies would usually bathe and play with water.

On this day, Xiao Chen secretly came here. From afar, he heard the laughter of the fairies. The lake was covered in light smoke. Vaguely, he could see more than a dozen fairies playing with the water in the lake.

If the mortals had seen this scene, they would have been dizzy and their souls drunk. However, Xiao Chen was not a mortal. He took a piece of clothing and quickly slipped away. He also lured a few immortal deer here and stepped on plum blossom marks where the fairies put their clothes.
