Chapter 1554: Chapter 88: The Wang Family Rolls Up the Immortal Dynasty! A Great Wind Arises (Seeking Monthly Pass)_5

As he spoke, he looked toward a beautiful woman nearby, grinning shamelessly as he said, "Lu Yao, you have so many female disciples under your name. How about sending a few to investigate the situation and find out their origins?"

The other party rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this. "By the time you think of this, it’ll be too late to make a difference."

The speaker was a middle-aged beauty dressed in a green skirt.

She had thick, jet-black hair styled in an intricate and elegant bun adorned with a few golden orchids. Her eyebrows and eyes were not overly exquisite or striking but exuded a tranquil and natural charm. Although she showed the passage of time, there was none of the weariness it could bring. Instead, she carried a grace and atmosphere that no young girl could match.

A simple, flowing green silk dress accentuated her slender figure, naturally giving her an aura that felt untouched by worldly dust, akin to an Immortal in the woods.

This middle-aged beauty was none other than Staying Immortal Holy Land’s [True Monarch Lu Yao].

Don’t be misled by her youthful appearance—she was over three thousand years old, one of the more highly ranked True Monarchs in the Immortal Palace.

This time, she had come after hearing of two impressive young female cultivators, drawn here merely for the spectacle.

As for the old man who had spoken earlier, he was [True Monarch Guiyi], the master of Return to the True Holy Land in the Immortal Palace.

With her fingers, she casually pinched a sunflower seed, skillfully extracting the kernel before speaking unhurriedly, "I already had my disciples inquire—they said these girls are from Dong Qian Lingyun Holy Ground."

"Lingyun Holy Ground? So, these two girls are disciples under the old fellow Yunxu?" Purple Void Sword Monarch chuckled upon hearing this, "That guy is hopeless! With such excellent seedlings, he couldn’t keep them and actually let them slip away."

[Yunxu] was the title of Jiang Zhencang, the master of Lingyun Holy Ground. In Da Qian, he was commonly referred to as "Master Jiang," whereas in the Immortal Palace, they were more accustomed to calling him "True Monarch Yunxu."

Both are True Monarchs of the Transcendent Void Realm and part of the Immortal Palace lineage. Purple Void Sword Monarch encountered Jiang Zhencang often on extraterritorial battlefields, and they were, naturally, quite familiar.

"Well, isn’t this perfect? It’s the Immortal Palace’s fortune now." True Monarch Guiyi, tearing into a beast hoof and smeared with grease, exclaimed with glimmering eyes, "Especially that girl named Lici. She carries a superior Taotie Bloodline, making her ideal for inheriting this True Monarch’s legacy. I’ll take this disciple—don’t any of you fight me over her. Not that you could win if you tried."

"True Monarch Guiyi," Purple Void Sword Monarch frowned slightly as he reminded him, "Weren’t you recently saying that you intended to pass your legacy to your direct disciple [Jiang Qinghong]? You even claimed his Tianjiao Rating A aptitude assured him a boundless future."

"Jiang Qinghong? Who is that?" True Monarch Guiyi’s face assumed a look of "confusion." "When did this True Monarch ever say he would pass on his legacy to him? Purple Void, don’t believe unfounded rumors."

The surrounding luminaries instantly fell into an awkward silence, collectively feeling pity for Jiang Qinghong.

Suddenly losing one’s prophesied inheritance...

Yet it was hardly surprising. After all, which Transcendent Void Realm powerhouse wouldn’t want to accept an Unparalleled Heavenly Child as their disciple? But in truth, most Sacred Lands were simply incapable of finding an Unparalleled Heavenly Child as their successor.

Still, when conditions permitted, given the choice between a Great Heavenly Proud and an Unparalleled figure, any rational person would naturally choose the latter—assuming the Unparalleled talent didn’t have significant issues with their character, background, or lineage.

They might not even retain sole discretion in such matters. After all, the Codex itself tends to favor selecting a superior inheritor.

"Congratulations, congratulations, True Monarch Guiyi."

Purple Void Sword Monarch and True Monarch Lu Yao, though touched with envy and jealousy, begrudgingly offered their congratulations to Guiyi.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to take Wang Licui; it was simply a matter of her bloodline and cultivation techniques not matching theirs, leaving them no choice but to envy from afar.

Just as True Monarch Guiyi wore an expression of smug delight—

A wheezing male voice suddenly sounded from above the misty skies, "Hah, made it in time! Indeed, an Unparalleled Heavenly Child with Taotie Bloodline—haha, Heaven truly favors me, Liu Qiankun!"

True Monarch Yuan Yuan, Liu Qiankun of Devour Heaven Holy Land!

True Monarch Guiyi’s face immediately darkened, inwardly struck by an overwhelming sense of crisis.

That shameless fellow wasn’t supposed to be out of seclusion!

...

Cold Moon Immortal City.

In the southwestern direction, far from the city’s central region, lay a vast and empty plaza.

This area used to be the Imperial Household’s mining site. Over two thousand years ago, the mine’s resources were entirely exhausted, leaving the land unused. The Yao family later purchased it and built a massive docking yard on the original site, designating it as the landing point for cloud ray flying boats within the Immortal City.

Unnoticed over the span of millennia, the docking yard’s surroundings transformed dramatically.

What was once a desolate outskirt mining area became a bustling commercial hub, accompanied by an explosive growth in population. However, particularly noteworthy was that the original network of intersecting roads was preserved. These thoroughfares, after being widened and reconstructed, became the Yao family’s cargo transportation routes.

Meanwhile, the docking yard itself underwent countless modifications during these two millennia, evolving from a simple plaza into its current complex yet organized form, now serving as a major nexus for both human traffic and logistical operations.

Afternoon.

Radiant sunshine poured generously over the docking yard, warming the space and its people.

In one corner of the docking yard, inside a shop bearing the signboard "Weichi’s Vehicle and Horse Association," Shopkeeper Chai lay leisurely in a rocking chair, simultaneously enjoying his midday rest and flipping through a booklet titled [Immortal City Daily]. He skimmed the publication for updates on current prices, seeking potential opportunities for business ventures.
