548: Chapter 567: Four People!

The starry ancient paths crisscrossed outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, and the one Ye Xuan was on was merely one of them, while his battle with Sun Radiance Heavenly Lord was just a minor episode.

In the Taixiao Starry Sky, countless stars twinkled, a place beyond the heavens and the domain of Saints, where even Daluo Golden Immortals could not find the location of Nuwa Palace without the existence of the starry ancient paths.

Ye Xuan journeyed with the Peng Demon as companions, chatting and laughing along the way.

To the unknowing eye, they might seem like old friends who had not seen each other for many years, but only the parties involved knew that their cordial words were mere probes and tests – where was there any real affection?

“It seems that Brother Ye is determined to win over the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden.

Should there be any need for me, please do not hesitate to ask, Brother Ye.

I will be bound by duty to assist,” said the Peng Demon, as they walked.

Throughout their journey, the Peng Demon eagerly took the opportunity to address Ye Xuan as “Big Brother” and referred to himself as the “little brother,” which prompted a cold sneer from Ye Xuan.

The Peng Demon was extremely cunning and without pretense, maintaining a very low profile even though he stood at the pinnacle of Daluo.

But such a person was decidedly frightening, a true little villain with terrifying cultivation, and when these attributes were combined, Ye Xuan could not help but take him seriously.

Because a person like the Peng Demon would pretend to be your brother one moment and then betray you with a stab in the back the next.

Ye Xuan was quite confident in this judgment, for he, too, possessed such traits.

“Little brother jests.

I have heard that Quasi-Saints will be present at the Nuwa Palace gathering; it will not be easy to wed the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden,” Ye Xuan said with a slight smile.

“Don’t worry, Brother.

Even if a Quasi-Saint does arrive, with the Immortal Extinguishing Sword at your back, you will surely be undaunted,” Peng Demon replied with a chuckle.

Hearing Peng Demon’s words, a realization flashed through Ye Xuan’s eyes; it turned out that the Peng Demon had come not for him, but for the Immortal Extinguishing Sword behind him.

What surprised Ye Xuan, however, was that the Immortal Extinguishing Sword was wrapped in black cloth, its aura completely concealed without any indication of its presence.

How could the Peng Demon know that what he carried was the Immortal Extinguishing Sword?

Boom!

The starry sky trembled, the ancient path shone.

Just as the two were engaging in conversation, at the end of the starry ancient path a magnificent palace emerged, floating within the limitless starry sky.

Nuwa Palace!

Resplendent with golden hues, throngs of auspicious qi, and enveloped by supreme Immortal Light from all directions, an ancient and vast force washed over everything, bestowing an immeasurable sense of solidity.

Whiz!

Starlight scattered, and the Nine Heavens fired in rapid succession.

Starry ancient paths connected to Nuwa Palace, with Great Divine Power wielders racing towards it.

“Big Brother, ahead is Nuwa Palace; we must hurry and not delay,” said the Peng Demon, darting towards the palace first.

Ye Xuan gave a slight smile and turned into a ray of light, following behind the Peng Demon.

Ding-Ding-Ding.

Like the ringing of morning bells and evening drums, akin to the Nine Heavens Immortal Sound, the vast and ancient bell tones echoed within Nuwa Palace.

Starry ancient paths started to disappear, and in front of Nuwa Palace, thousands of Great Divine Power wielders from all directions were gathered.

A feast for the eyes, overflowing with figures of all kinds, Heavenly Immortal Light rose and Demon Light bloomed.

As celestial and demonic powers converged in front of Nuwa Palace, the place became exceedingly lively, to the point where even the Heaven and Earth Laws grew slightly chaotic.

Everyone gathered here was someone of repute within the Three Realms, with lifespans unimaginably long.

Even the greatest Daoist sects would treat these individuals as distinguished guests, daring not to show the slightest neglect.

Swish, swish!

As streaks of light transformed into shadows and revealed their forms, when Ye Xuan and the Peng Demon arrived in front of the Nuwa Palace, they naturally caught the attention of the great powers from all directions.

When they saw the Peng Demon and Ye Xuan arriving together, everyone’s eyes narrowed slightly before shifting away, waiting for the great doors of the Nuwa Palace to open.

At that moment!

Ye Xuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, surveying the powerful beings in all directions.

Wherever his gaze landed, a trace of solemnity flickered across the depths of his eyes.

Strong, incredibly strong, terrifyingly strong!

That was what Ye Xuan was feeling because even the weakest amongst those present had cultivation at the Daluo second water dividing ridge, and there were dozens at the Daluo third water dividing ridge, with their levels varying from the Seventh Layer Heaven to the Ninth Layer Heaven.

Among these thousand-plus people, there were a few figures that Ye Xuan committed deeply to memory.

One was a yellow-robed Daoist with a withered face and lifeless eyes, shrouded in a dull yellow glow.

Though there was no detectable aura around him, the other powers kept a thousand-zhang distance from him.

Another was an imposing figure with a shadowy glow covering his body, wearing an Emperor’s Crown and a cold Emperor’s Robe, arrogantly standing in the center with his hands behind his back.

His eyes emitted an air of disdain for all when they opened and closed.

There was also a black-clad young man, like Ye Xuan with a sword obliquely inserted behind him, his black hair scattered behind his head, currently meditating with closed eyes, giving off a feeling as if his power was sheathed like a sword in its scabbard.

An elder with white hair and beard, wearing a moon-white Daoist robe, emanated an aura akin to an Immortal Daoist bone.

A subtle Daluo Immortal Light rippled around him as he engaged in smiling conversations with the great powers from all directions.

Through the perception of his own energy, Ye Xuan could tell that all four of these people were of the Daluo Nine Layer Heaven.

If they could break through the Daluo Realm, they could step into the ranks of the Quasi-Saints.

Of course, these were only the terrifying individuals Ye Xuan had sensed.

There were others whose presence was concealed, and even when Ye Xuan probed, he could not determine their cultivation level.

And the Quasi-Saint, whom Ye Xuan had always regarded as a major foe, had not appeared at all.

This made Ye Xuan frown, unsure whether the rumors of the Quasi-Saint attending the grand event at the Nuwa Palace were true.

Perhaps because Ye Xuan’s gaze was completely unguarded, when he scrutinized these four individuals from the Daluo Nine Layer Heaven, they, reacting to the sensation of his energy, also looked towards Ye Xuan.

The yellow-robed Daoist with the withered face gave Ye Xuan a faint glance, then closed his eyes, showing no further signs of acknowledgement.

The imposing figure shrouded in shadowy light looked coldly at Ye Xuan, surprise flashing briefly in his eyes when they opened and closed, but he then looked away, again without any further indication.

“Good sword!”

The black-clad young man suddenly opened his eyes, which shone like lightning and swords, intensely fixing his gaze on the Immortal Extinguishing Sword behind Ye Xuan, his voice hoarse and stiff as if he hadn’t spoken in a thousand years.

The elder in white no longer smiled when he looked at Ye Xuan.

His face turned gloomy in an instant, with a trace of murderous intent flicking across his eyes before quickly dissipating without a trace.

“Big brother, it seems you’ve already caught someone’s eye!” the Peng Demon transmitted his voice secretly, chuckling.

“Do you know who these four people are?” Ye Xuan whispered.

It wasn’t surprising that Ye Xuan did not recognize these four; he had only stepped into the Earth Immortal realm for ten thousand years, so how could he know these figures?

This made him inquire of the Peng Demon.

“Listen closely, big brother; these four come from rather significant origins,” the Peng Demon said with a slight smile, quickly divulging the backgrounds of these four individuals to Ye Xuan.
