“Tianzhu Palace …”

Tai Huazi stroked his white beard and his gaze gradually grew deeper. He slowly said, “Ten thousand years ago, it was an abandoned land. There was a lack of spiritual energy and everything withered. No one was able to survive there. Until many years later, a wondrous person passed by and named it ‘Tian Zhu’ …”

After he finished speaking, he took a few steps forward and looked at Zi Weisi, who was motionless. He asked, “Tianzhu City has never interfered in the affairs of the outside world, but this time he did the opposite. What do you think is going on?”

Zi Weisi slowly regained his senses and said, “Azure Dragon hasn’t appeared since he appeared a hundred years ago. Everything that happened today is being taken care of by Sick Qilin. This person is unfathomable and brilliant. What he did is really hard to guess …”

At this point, Zi Weisi stopped and looked at the change in Tai Huazi’s expression. Finally, he thought for a long time before asking, “I wonder what Daoist saw when he was comprehending the Profound Realm …”

Hearing this, Tai Huazi’s calm face seemed to have finally changed slightly. However, this ripple quickly calmed down. His two eyes looked as deep as a valley. Even Zi Weisi could not see his heart at this moment. He did not know what he was thinking.

When their cultivation reached the realm of a Sage like Tai Huazi, outsiders thought that they had long since transcended the mortal realm and weren’t disturbed by the mortal world. However, in reality, the more a Sage they were, the more their minds couldn’t be in chaos.

If a Foundation Establishment disciple who had just entered the Dao was in a state of chaos, with the help of his master or elder, he would be able to calm down very quickly. However, if a person who had already entered the Sage realm was in a state of chaos, the consequences would be unimaginable. Retrogression in cultivation would only be the lightest consequence.

As for the path of cultivation, it was originally heaven-defying. The higher one went, the higher one would be able to peek. The more one was like this, the more cautious one would need to be.

Tai Huazi had experienced three thousand calamities in the past and had finally entered the Sage realm. There were twelve realms for sages. Every time he advanced to the next realm, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens. He had to comprehend the Heavenly Dao and see the secrets of the heavens before he could break through to the next realm of sages to prove the Grand Dao. This was “enlightenment”, which meant comprehending the great fortune of the unity of heaven and man.

However, when they comprehended the Profound realm that time, the three of them actually saw the same terrifying dream at the same time. This was a strange thing that they had rarely seen in ten thousand years, and it actually happened to them.

In the end, the Sage realm was extremely profound. If they hadn’t reached the next realm, they didn’t know what the next realm would be like. It wasn’t just about increasing their strength. Therefore, the three of them were in a state of chaos on the spot, causing their cultivation to not only fail to break through to the next realm, but even retreat back to the previous realm.

Even though it had been many days, Tai Huazi was still a little uneasy when he thought about it. The terrifying scene in his dream seemed to linger in his mind all the time. As long as he closed his eyes, he would be able to see it. Therefore, it was difficult for him to cultivate calmly now. Even if he closed the Death Pass, it would be useless.

Seeing that he was silent at this moment, Zi Weisi stopped asking. He only said, “In a year’s time, Xiao Yichen will most likely go to the Peerless Society.”

“Peerless Society …”

Tai Huazi frowned deeply. After a while, he slowly unfurled his brows. Then, he turned around and walked deeper into the secret realm. He said faintly, “Forget it, Zi Weisi, you can go back first. If there is anything else, I will send you a message.”

“Yes …”

Zi Weisi nodded lightly and then went outside. When he was about to leave, Tai Huazi suddenly turned around and called him, “Also, there is something I forgot to tell you.”

“What did Adept say?”

Zi Weisi immediately stopped, turned around, and looked at Tai Huazi with a solemn expression, not moving at all.

After a while, Tai Huazi said, “Xuanqing Sect.”

“Xuanqing Sect …”

Suddenly hearing these three words, Zi Weisi said with a look on his face. “This sect is definitely not as simple as the outside world has seen. The seven mountain peaks are even more extraordinary. In recent days, I have often sensed Tai Huazi’s anomalies in Spirit Ruins Realm or related to this sect. If you have time, you should check it out, but remember, don’t let Qing Xuanzi discover you. This person’s cultivation is probably already …” Spiritual Bloodline Force nodded.

Zi Weisi nodded and walked out. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared. “Alright, I understand. If Adept has nothing else to do, then I’ll take my leave first …”

Tai Huazi was the only one left in the secluded secret realm. He stood there motionlessly. Every time he thought back to what happened back then, it was like a nightmare that wrapped around him, causing him to lose his mind when he comprehended the profound arts. That was why his cultivation had become more and more difficult to advance in the past few years.

Most of the time, when it was late at night, he always felt that there was someone outside the window, but when he went out, he discovered that it was only the wind blowing and the shadows of the trees swaying.

…

Xiao Chen had already left Hill of Illusory Ruins a few days later. He did not go to Tianzhu City. Although he knew that Tianzhu Palace might know something about his father, when he was in Acheron Valley, Sick Qilin had already given him an obvious hint. This hint was the Unparalleled Meeting in a year’s time. At that time, he might be able to solve some mysteries.

Only a year later, it was also the day when Ku Lingzi predicted that Three Corpse Demon would fully take shape. However, when he went to Wuwang Sea, he was fortunate to have a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi. This Qi was a wisp of primordial Chaos Qi when the heavens and earth first opened. However, he did not know if he could continue to suppress Three Corpse Demon at that time.

Originally, this time, he went to explore what had happened to his father back then. First, he wanted to know what had happened back then. Second, he wanted to find the person who planted the Three Corpse Demon into his body. Only by finding the person who planted the Three Corpse Demon into his body would he be able to remove it.

However, when they arrived in Acheron Valley, the clues regarding their father were interrupted. It was as if it was really as Fairy Red Butterfly had said. Back then, after his father entered Acheron Valley, he never came out again.

The clue here was broken, so there was only a second clue. The second clue was the Ten Saints back then. Several of the Ten Saints had participated in the hunt for their father back then, but they had disappeared at the same time.

Not only did those people disappear, but even the other people who did not participate in the pursuit seemed to have disappeared from the world as if they were amongst the Ten Saints.

This matter was also very strange. Previously, in the Qinling Mountains, he suspected that Xiahou Jie of the Seven Summers Hall in the Snow Region was one of the Ten Saints, Poison Saint Tibetan Feng Yun. If that was the case, what about the other eight people besides his father?

It was midwinter, and Fei Xue was thousands of kilometers away, freezing everything and turning it into silver.

On the desolate ancient road, there was only a lonely figure of a carriage galloping forward. The driver of the carriage was Zi Yuan, while Xiao Chen sat in the warm carriage, his heart somewhat heavy.

He lifted the curtain and a cold wind blew in, mixed with pieces of broken snow. It hit his face and was a little cold.

At this time, Zi Yuan’s voice rang out from outside, “Your Excellency, we’re not far from the town. Sister and the others are waiting for us in the town.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Chen only responded softly and put down the curtains. He wasn’t in a hurry to get there, so he took a carriage and arrived at the small town Zi Yuan mentioned in the evening.

Due to the heavy snow these days, there weren’t many pedestrians coming and going in the small town today. Xiao Chen and Zi Yuan went to the designated inn, and Bai Luan and the others were already waiting in the house.

“Your Excellency.”

Seeing him enter, Bai Luan and the others immediately cupped their hands. Xiao Chen nodded slightly and took off the mink fur on his body. He placed it in Zi Yuan’s hand and asked, “How was it? Did you get it?”

“Yes.”

Bai Luan frowned slightly and nodded. Then, she told him about the Wushuang Society. It turned out that this Wushuang Society was a unique Immortal Martial Meeting in the Spirit Ruins Realm. At that time, any Spirit Ruins Realm sect or clan could participate.

At the same time, if he wanted to obtain the qualifications to go to Ancient Immortal Realm, he had to go through the Unparalleled Gathering. At the Unparalleled Gathering, there were many talented people, and this time, it was probably no small matter.

The night outside gradually dimmed. Bai Luan paused for a moment and then said, “In addition … I have also heard about it, but it is only a rumor. Some people say that the Ten Saint Gathering will appear again, and it will be the Peerless Gathering in a year’s time.”

“Oh?”

This time, Xiao Chen was refreshed. After disappearing for so many years, the Ten Saints suddenly appeared in the world again. What was going on? Could it be that he also wanted to compete for the qualifications to enter Ancient Immortal Realm? However, it seems that things are not that simple …

That day in Acheron Valley, Sick Qilin hinted that he was going to the Peerless Society. Could it be that he had some intention?

The Ancient Immortal Realm …

To obtain the qualifications to enter Ancient Immortal Realm was not to say that one had obtained a quota to enter Ancient Immortal Realm. The former was only a necessary condition for the latter, and the latter was even more difficult.

At this moment, Zi Yuan suddenly said, “If this Wushuang is like this, then Xiao Meng’er from the Xiao Clan will definitely go.”

When she said this, she looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Will Your Excellency also go there at that time?”

Xiao Chen gradually frowned. It wasn’t that he couldn’t go, but whether he was strong enough. If even a person like the Ten Saints could compete for this unparalleled qualification, then with his current strength, it was probably far from enough. Even Xiao Meng’er might not be able to win steadily.

One more thing was that the death energy in his body was gradually beginning to recoil. The twenty-year period that Fairy Su Wen had mentioned was approaching, but he still didn’t have a clue about the unique Undying Heart in the world. He was still able to suppress it now, completely relying on the wisp of grandmist purple energy in his body.

The room slowly fell into silence. No one spoke again. After an unknown amount of time, the night outside was already completely enveloped. No one was lighting the room, and it gradually dimmed down.

On the corridor outside, when the shop assistant passed by, he saw that there was no candle in the room, but he knew that the unusual person inside did not dare to disturb him, so he quickly walked away.

After a long while, when Xiao Chen was about to say something, a Spiritual Energy suddenly came out from the jade in his sleeve, and the jade paper that Bai Luan and the others were carrying also started to flicker.

“Something happened to Lustless Heaven?”

The expressions of the few of them froze, and Xiao Chen put the spirit jade back into his sleeve. Without further ado, he immediately walked outside, followed by Bai Luan and the others.

…

Three days later, the group returned to Lustless Heaven. However, the scene in front of them caused everyone’s expressions to change. Originally, Lustless Heaven was ten thousand feet high in the sky, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely abundant. It was far away from the secular disturbance, just like the Outer World Immortal Realm. However, at this moment, the entire Lustless Heaven was enveloped by a dense baleful aura, and it couldn’t help but look a little terrifying.

“How could this be …”

Zi Yuan’s face was shocked, but seeing that the nearby islands had not been damaged, and the restriction array was still intact, without any signs of fighting. In this way, it would not be an invasion … But why would it be like this? Why is there such a terrifying killing aura everywhere …
