Chapter 1229: 1233 one hundred thousand years

Xuanming Island, Xuanming Clan.

Xuanming Garden, Xiang Lan and a tall, slim youth in a green robe sat in a green stone pavilion, with Xuan Hong and Xuan Yu standing by.

Xiang Lan’s face was pale, appearing to be severely injured in vital energy.

"This is a trap, they are all dead. For now, let’s not clash with the Tianyue Sect. With Taoist Friend Xuan traveling outside, they wouldn’t dare to truly annihilate our Xuanming Clan."

Xiang Lan’s tone was weak.

Xiang Li and the three others were trapped in a Third Rank Immortal Formation, Xiang Lan and Xuan Lang faced off against Nangong Sihong and his team, with the Azure Water Lion Qilin Beast assisting. Xuan Lang died in battle, and the fact that Xiang Lan managed to escape was already quite fortunate.

"I’ve already instructed to activate part of the restrictions in the Clan Protection Formation. This time it’s all Taoist Friend Xu from the Heavenly Ghost Sect’s fault for misinforming us and causing us to fall into their trap."

The youth in the green robe complained.

Xuan Yang, Taiyi Golden Immortal Early Stage.

"We were caught off guard despite being cautious. Personally leading the attack on Heavenly Moon Island, Ouyang Teng, Lin Hao, and others were not present. Given it involved a set of Middle Grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts, it’s impossible not to feel tempted. We’ll settle this debt with them later. I need to retreat for healing, and I’ll leave the clan to you for now."

Xiang Lan instructed.

"Taoist Friend Xiang, rest assured and heal, we have the clan covered."

Xuan Yang readily agreed, looking solemn.

After a few words, Xuan Yang and the other two left, allowing Xiang Lan to heal in peace.

······

Profound Yin Island, Heavenly Ghost Sect.

In a tranquil manor, a tall, slim elder in a gray robe and a tall, slim man in a yellow robe sat in a green stone pavilion, Ning Chu, Chen Yin, and Liu Ling stood aside, looking grave.

"The Tianyue Sect had long discovered the identity of our insider but didn’t expose him, allowing him to continue feeding us information just to deal with us this time."

Ning Chu’s face was full of sorrow.

In less than five hundred thousand years, the Heavenly Ghost Sect lost two Taiyi Golden Immortals, a heavy loss.

"The situation cannot be changed, and nothing can be done now. Ouyang Old Ghost and his team acted too convincingly, with Ouyang Teng and Nangong Sihong personally leading, also bringing the Azure Water Lion Qilin Beast and Golden Immortal Cultivators of the Myriad Beasts Sect. Otherwise, Junior Brother Xu would not have met his demise."

The gray-robed elder sighed.

Lin Dian, Taiyi Golden Immortal Middle Stage.

Tens of thousands of years ago, Nangong Sihong led an attack on Profound Yin Island, killing a Taiyi Golden Immortal and severely injuring Lin Dian, who has yet to recover.

"Nothing can be done now, and we’ve already been very cautious. The Li Family Immortal Clan heavily rewarded for the Water Immortal Lord, and the Tianyue Sect has planned this for hundreds of thousands of years, including complete sets of Middle Grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts. With Ouyang Teng and Nangong Sihong personally leading, who wouldn’t fall for it?"

The man in the yellow robe slowly said, his tone full of helplessness.

Xu Lei, Taiyi Golden Immortal Early Stage.

Had it not been Ouyang Teng and Nangong Sihong leading, and unrelated to the Water Immortal Lord, Xu Hua and his team wouldn’t have fallen for it.

"Strengthen the defenses! Junior Brother Xu, you should take some elite disciples and leave Profound Yin Island! With Ouyang Teng’s strength, combined with the Nangong Family and the Azure Water Lion Qilin Beast’s assistance, our Clan Protection Formation might not hold."

Lin Dian instructed.

"Senior Brother Lin, what about you if I leave?"

Xu Lei was full of concern.

"There must always be a Taiyi Golden Immortal to garrison Profound Yin Island. Rest assured, if Ouyang Teng and his group really attack, I’ll make sure they don’t leave unscathed, even at the cost of my life."

Lin Dian said solemnly.

Xu Lei agreed and left Profound Yin Island with a group of disciples.

······

Time flies, and a hundred thousand years passed.

Myriad Beasts Island, Myriad Beasts Garden.

Chu Buyu, Qin Yuying, Yuan Rui, and Mo Bingbing sat in a green stone pavilion, discussing something.

"You’ve all ascended to the Golden Immortal stage, strengthening our Myriad Beasts Sect. Here’s a little token from me, please accept it!"

Chu Buyu took out two jade slips and handed them to Yuan Rui and Qin Yuying.

They had recently ascended to the Golden Immortal stage, while Lin Yutong had already reached that level tens of thousands of years ago.

"Thank you, Junior Sister Chu (Lady Chu)."

Yuan Rui and Qin Yuying expressed their gratitude and accepted the storage bracelets.

After talking for a while, Mo Bingbing and the others took their leave.

Upon their departure, Shen Lang arrived. He was currently still at the Golden Immortal Early Stage, with a minor achievement in law comprehension.

"Has something happened?"

Chu Buyu asked.

"There’s news of a Dao Stone."

Shen Lang’s expression was serious.

"What? A Dao Stone? Where is it?"

Chu Buyu inquired urgently.

"I only know it’s related to Jin Hong Immortal Master. Rumor has it he possesses a Dao Stone and is wanted by a different clan. I managed to get hold of an artifact he used, which reveals the situation of his innate divine skills. His birth time eight characters are unclear, but he is an ascender."

Shen Lang took out a golden short blade about a foot long and a golden jade slip, and handed them to Chu Buyu.

"Jin Hong Immortal Master? If he had a Dao Stone, why wouldn’t he offer it to the major powers for safety?"

A voice full of confusion arose.

As soon as the voice fell, Shen Long emerged from Qingpeng Pavilion, his aura noticeably stronger.

"Golden Immortal Great Perfection! Congratulations, husband."

Chu Buyu was overjoyed.

"Jin Hong Immortal Master entered the Seven Stars Immortal Mansion and supposedly obtained a Qinglian Casket containing a Dao Stone, said to be a Hongmeng Immortal Artifact. However, he has been out of contact for years. Shen Hu, who ventured out, saved a Human Clan True Immortal from being chased by heterodox cultivators, wiped them out with a soul search, and learned they were hunting for Jin Hong Immortal Master. I can’t confirm whether Jin Hong Immortal Master possesses a Dao Stone."

Shen Lang reported truthfully.

"Any other rumors besides the Dao Stone and Hongmeng Immortal Artifact?"

Shen Long pursued the question.

"It’s said he also has a sixth-grade Dao Pill and high-level Divine Soul Cultivation Techniques. Such rumors are widespread; any famous immortal has similar tales. After my investigations, I’ve ruled out others. It’s true Jin Hong Immortal Master entered the Seven Stars Immortal Mansion, but the Qinglian Casket and Dao Stone are uncertain. I’m hoping Wang Rui can deduce or divine the whereabouts."

Shen Lang said slowly.

Shen Long nodded: "Wife, call Wang Rui over to see if he can deduce the whereabouts of Jin Hong Immortal Master."

Chu Buyu agreed and produced a law disk glowing red, channeling a spell, and said, "Wang Rui, come to Myriad Beasts Garden, I have something to discuss."

"Yes, Lady Chu."

Wang Rui agreed.

Before long, Wang Rui arrived.

"Congratulations, Master, on coming out of seclusion."

Wang Rui sensed Shen Long’s formidable aura and quickly congratulated him.

"These are the details about Jin Hong Immortal Master and the artifact he used. See if you can deduce his location."

Shen Long handed the golden short blade and golden jade slip to Wang Rui.

"Yes, Master."

Wang Rui accepted and left with the items.

"Jin Hong Immortal Master! Qinglian Casket."

Shen Long appeared thoughtful, then said to Shen Lang, "Don’t rush back to the Ancient Cloud Continent yet. Enter the Myriad Beasts Tower and bring your laws to great achievement first, strength is most important."

Shen Lang’s current strength was too weak; there were many issues he couldn’t address. If he were stronger, he could solve many problems.

Shen Lang did not oppose and agreed.
