“Disciple pays respects to the Sect Leader!”
“Disciple pays respects to the Supreme Elders!”
Once Taiyuan Zhenren and the unknown old crone appeared, a group of Mount Shu elders respectfully bowed.
“Senior sister, I’m leading a delegation to the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion to attend the Six Paths assembly. Mount Shu will be in your care.”
Taiyuan Zhenren also spoke with great respect to the old crone.
Senior sister?!!
The Mount Shu elders present were astonished in their hearts.
The unknown old crone was actually the Sect Leader’s senior sister!
If Taiyuan Zhenren had lived for over three thousand years, then the old crone’s lifespan must be no less than that of Taiyuan Zhenren.
By the time the old crone had made a name for herself, the younger generation of Mount Shu elders had not even been born.
“During this period, Mount Shu will be entrusted to this old body. I have no hope for Tribulation, and my lifespan is coming to an end; this is one of the few contributions I can make for Mount Shu.”
The old crone sighed.
Taiyuan Zhenren, as well as all the Mount Shu elders, showed solemn respect.
This Supreme Elder, knowing she had no hope of overcoming Tribulation, still focused on Mount Shu’s well-being at the verge of death. She ended her seclusion, accepted Chen Yao as an extraordinary talent into her disciple lineage, as her final disciple, to leave a legacy.
What a noble character!
“Senior sister…”
“This old body’s cultivation is not refined, everything is fate, go ahead.”
“Yes.”
Taiyuan Zhenren bowed to the old crone and then led the team away from Mount Shu.
Flying Swords broke through the sky, with colorful lights flowing, flying towards Misty Peak, where the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion was located.
The mortals below could only see streaks of light flying over their heads, mistaking them for signs of immortals. They all bowed in veneration and worship.
Lu Changsheng, within the group of hurrying Mount Shu elders, covertly assessed the foundation of Mount Shu.
The depth of Taiyuan Zhenren’s cultivation was inscrutable, and not even Lu Changsheng could see through it.
The person with the next highest cultivation was his senior brother, Li Changye, who was at the ninth layer of the Dao Palace Realm and possessed the Eternal Wilderness Body. Lu Changsheng suspected that even if Li Changye were to encounter an early-stage opponent from the Void Refinement Realm, he would be capable of fighting. After all, rumors in Mount Shu spoke of Li Changye once standing against three of the same realm from the Demon Sects, slaying three Demon Sects elders.
Li Changye had some similarities with Lu Changsheng, as both of them were exceptionally firm in every realm they reached. Furthermore, with special physiques, they were even more formidable than the cultivators of the same realm.
Apart from Li Changye, who was recognized as the foremost among the younger generation of Mount Shu elders, there were also five elders who had achieved Great Accomplishment in the Dao Palace Realm.
There were about a dozen elders, including Lu Changsheng and Zhao Wuyan, who were in the mid-stage of the Dao Palace Realm.
The rest were either in the early stage of the Dao Palace Realm or at the culmination of the Nascent Soul Realm.
This was just a portion of Mount Shu’s strength, indicating the fearsome depth of its foundation.
Taiyuan Zhenren even felt assured to entrust Mount Shu to his senior sister for guardianship.
The foundation of Mount Shu could not be so simple.
Lu Changsheng learned from Lian that there were four Dao Palace Realm elders secretly guarding the fifth level of the Scripture Pavilion in Mount Shu, and these four Dao Palace Realm elders were not among those who descended from the mountain this time.
“Master, is the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion a lot of fun?”
Lian was brimming with excitement.
“I have heard that the Fairy Pavilion Master once had a dispute with our Sect Leader in their youth. You must not cause trouble in the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, otherwise even I won’t be able to protect you,”
In Mount Shu, Taiyuan Zhenren, Li Changye, and even Lu Changsheng would let Lian cause trouble wherever she wanted. But this time, in the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s domain, if the Fairy Pavilion Master were to catch a handle on her, the situation could either be trivial or severe.
That the Fairy Pavilion Master had a past dispute with Taiyuan Zhenren when they were young indicated that the two were contemporaries.
“Lian understands.”
This little disciple also knew that the Fairy Pavilion Master was a significant figure not to be provoked, and she became much more restrained.
The Inquiry Immortal Pavilion was located at Misty Peak in Yue Country, covering ten thousand miles, with countless mountains rising high, piercing the clouds, shrouded in mist.
Inquiry Immortal Pavilion is one of the Six Righteous Paths, currently ranked fifth, yet two hundred thousand years ago, at its founding, it once surpassed Mount Shu.
Even if Inquiry Immortal Pavilion has fallen from grace, it still possesses the heritage of two hundred thousand years.
This time, the Sect Meeting of the Six Paths is to be hosted by the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion. To prepare for the event, all disciples of the sect have been mobilized, creating an extraordinarily lively atmosphere.
“The last Sect Meeting was on Mount Shu, one thousand five hundred years ago. The Pavilion Master contended with the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, and in three battles faced three defeats. Now that it’s our turn to host, we must reclaim our honor,” someone declared.
“Shush, have you forgotten? The Elders forbid us disciples from mentioning this matter. If the Pavilion Master overhears us, we’ll undoubtedly be punished,” another cautioned.
Disciples of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion whispered among themselves while preparing the venue for the Sect Meeting.
“The people from Mount Shu have arrived!”
“Such formidable momentum!”
“Worthy of being the current first among the Six Righteous Paths!”
No one knew which disciple shouted first, but as all from Inquiry Immortal Pavilion looked towards the sky above Misty Peak, they saw a group of Elders from Mount Shu approaching on their Flying Swords.
“Mount Shu.”
On the main seat of the Sect Meeting, the Pavilion Master of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion whispered those two words.
Beneath the Pavilion Master, a host of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion Elders rose to their feet, greeting the arriving Mount Shu Elders with equal ceremony.
A group of Mount Shu Elders descended, every one of them with the bearing of a sage and carrying a longsword on their backs.
Taiyuan stood still, like an immeasurable mountain, causing most of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s Elders to feel a sense of helplessness in their hearts.
Taiyuan, a man who dominated an era. In the past, the Pavilion Master of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, relying on her exceptional talents, challenged Taiyuan and was defeated in all three battles.
“Fairy Su, how have you been recently?”
Taiyuan took the initiative to speak.
“Hmph, both of us are old folks who have lived for three thousand years. I’m hardly any ‘fairy,’” the Pavilion Master replied with a cold tone. Yet, Lu Changsheng faintly sensed that the Pavilion Master of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion did not seem to dislike the title Taiyuan used for her.
Lu Changsheng gazed at the main seat and saw an elegant fairy with the face of a goose egg, fine eyebrows, a delicate nose, and wearing a moon-colored Daoist Robe.
The Pavilion Master of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion was actually a woman.
Lu Changsheng’s gaze shifted slightly downward. Near the closest seat to the Pavilion Master, he saw a figure of extraordinary grace and extreme beauty, carrying a longsword on her back.
Their gazes met in midair, and they nodded to each other in acknowledgment.
It was Xia Ningxue, the Holy Maiden of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.
Xia Ningxue’s seat was only second to the Pavilion Master, which spoke volumes about her status.
“Lu, have you ever heard of a certain secret within our Mount Shu?” Zhao Wuyan conveyed secretly to Lu Changsheng.
“I would like to hear the details,” Lu responded.
Could it be that the earnest Elder Zhao also had a moment for gossip?
Lu Changsheng’s passion for gossip was thoroughly ignited.
“It is said that back when Fairy Su of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion was not the Pavilion Master, she pursued our master but her love went unrequited. In a fit of pique, she cultivated Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s forbidden technique ‘Supreme Forgetting Love Art,’ vowing to sever all romantic ties. Yet, for three thousand years, she has remained entangled with our Sect Leader…” Zhao revealed.
“Is that so?”
Lu Changsheng suddenly understood.
No wonder the relationship between the Pavilion Master of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion and Taiyuan was so complicated. The secret shared by Zhao Wuyan was likely true.
“Ahem, nonetheless, you must keep this matter a secret from others.”
“Understood.”
Lu Changsheng conveyed his comprehension with a look.
“The Temple Master of Hidden Dragon Temple and a host of Elders have arrived!”
Not long after the people from Mount Shu reached Misty Peak, the party from Hidden Dragon Temple, another one of the Six Righteous Paths, also descended on Misty Peak.
