Then, he scattered his divine sense, briefly explaining the situation to the many foundation-building elders within the sect who were watching this. With that, he descended to the ground.
A moment later, within the hall.
In front of everyone, a pale golden Jade Butterfly was floating in mid-air. Whether one looked with their eyes or scanned with their divine sense, there was nothing unusual about it.
“Senior Brother, why has Master Dongli come here?” Shen Ping asked softly, which was also the doubt in everyone’s heart.
A hint of reminiscence flashed in Zhuge Wu You’s eyes as he softly uttered four
words: “Tai Xu seeking Immortal.”
Si Hongxue looked at him, frowning: “Tai Xu seeking Immortal?”
For everyone in the hall, if anyone knew the most about Yuan Shun, it would be
Zhuge Wu You, followed by Si Hongxue.
However, judging by her expression at this moment, it was clear that she was not in the know.
Zhuge Wu You gestured reassuringly for everyone to be patient and began to
slowly explain.
“Yes, Tai Xu seeking Immortal. That was ninety years ago.
“At that time, the sect master returned from his journey, gathered only Qin, Fu, and I, all of whom were late-stage Golden Core cultivators. He shared some secrets with us, one of which was Tai Xu seeking Immortal.”
“Tai Xu seeking Immortal is an event held by the Tai Xu Sect. In the Cultivation World it is confidential and not publicized. It is held once every hundred years, and all invited cultivators can participate in this mission to find Immortals. However, the minimum requirement to participate is to be a late-stage Golden Core, and many are also listed on the Master List.
“A hundred years ago, the sect master was on the Master List, and the last stop before his return to the Sect was to participate in Tai Xu seeking Immortal.” At this point, Zhuge Wu You paused, his face showing a mix of seriousness and confusion.
“Moreover, before this, Qin and I both suspected that the changes in the fog at Xuandan Peak within the sect had something to do with the sect master’s participation in Tai Xu seeking Immortal.
“Even later, when Xuandan Sect turned into a field of corpses and the sect’s Spirit Vein dissipated, including the disappearance of the sect master, we all felt that Tai Xu seeking Immortal a hundred years ago was the original source.”
At these words, everyone felt chilled.
??Is Tai Xu seeking Immortal really about finding Immortals?” Shen Ping asked, puzzled.
Zhuge Wu You shook his head.
“The sect master didn’t say much at the time, but I clearly noticed his unease when he mentioned seeking Immortals. There’s definitely more to it.” “Master Dongli came to remind the sect master that Tai Xu seeking Immortal is imminent. He brought the Two Realms Jade and instructed the sect master to go to Two Realms Mountain in Tai Xu Sect on the third day of the third month next year.”
Zhuge Wu You pointed to the pale golden Jade Butterfly floating in front of
him.
“This is the Two Realms Jade.”
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone’s faces, he added.
-Like you all, I don’t know where Two Realms Mountain is located. I have been to many places in the Daqian Region, but never heard of the name Two Realms Mountain.”
“Perhaps, only the sect master knows.”
Everyone fell silent for a moment, then Shen Ping asked in a deep voice, “So what should we do now?”
Zhuge Wu You put the Jade Butterfly into the Qiankun Ring, then looked at everyone. His eyes became resolute.
“If the sect master still doesn’t return by next year, then I’ll go in his place.” -Since the origin of everything is Two Realms Mountain, there might be clues about the sect master’s whereabouts. Despite the danger, I want to investigate.” -Now that Qin has passed away and Han’s combat power is outstanding, he can stabilize the sect. Even if I die, it won’t have a big impact on the sect.’
“Don’t try to dissuade me, my mind is made up.”
“That’s settled then, you can all go.”
Zhuge Wu You, who has always been good at listening to others, suddenly took a decisive stance on this matter.
Han Yi shook his head, but still voiced his opposition.
“Brother, if there are indeed clues about Master in Two Realms Mountain, let
me go.”
“My strength is no less than the Sect Master’s from over 90 years ago. If the Sect Master could return safely, so can I.”
“Moreover, you’ve seen my life-saving measures; they are definitely far
stronger than yours.”
“Besides, those who are weak, even if they go and find out any information, they may not be able to bring it back alive. Dying is utterly pointless.”
“It only makes sense if the news is brought back.”
“Isn’t that right, Senior Brother?”
Zhuge Wu You wanted to retort, but his words faltered. His original firm and decisive tone suddenly didn’t know how to respond.
Han Yi was being blunt, it was pointless for someone with low strength to go. It was better for Qin Wuxian to go if he was still alive. But now that Qin Wuxian was dead, among the sect’s Golden Core cultivators, only Han Yi could compare to him, or even surpass him.
Having him go, if there were any clues, they would likely be found.
“Indeed, I also think Junior Brother Qin is the most suitable.”
Rarely speaking, Si Hongxue said. Her eyes were impartial, composed, and calm.
?The Sect Master disappeared without any news. In a short time, even Junior Brother Han can’t possibly form a Nascent Soul. Although the sect Is peaceful and stable right now, If the Sect Master does not appear for another ten years, it will definitely arouse suspicion.”
“At present, the main task is to continue looking for the Sect Master.”
Zhuge Wu You thought about it and ultimately didn’t rebut. Or perhaps it was that he couldn’t rebut- – the logic set out in front of him was worth more than his martyrdom. If he were to delay the searching for the Sect Master, it would be utterly inexcusable.
He took out a pale golden Jade Butterfly, gave it to Han Yi, and instructed. “However, although the Sect Master’s clues are important, Junior Brother must take care of himself and avoid unnecessary risks.”
Han Yi put away the Jade Butterfly safely, laughed: “Senior Brother, rest assured, knowing my ability to protect myself, I know you have seen how strong I am. Below a True Monarch, no one can kill me.”
A moment later, everyone dispersed.
Han Yi also returned to Vermilion Bird Peak and finaUy calmed down and began to cultivate.
Right now, both his Sword Control Skill and the Ninefold Soul Tower had entered the state of ‘Breaking through the mortal and entering the holy.’ The skills he needed to work on next were Light Body Technique and defense against heat.
At the same time, he wanted to enhance his realm.
According to his guess, if he broke through to the Peak of Middle Golden Core Stage, he could be in the top ten of the Master List. If he could break through to the Late-stage Golden Core, he could even compete with the top three on the Master List, that is to say, he could kill ordinary Early-stage Nascent Soul figures such as the notorious figures like Li Qiushui of Yujing Mountain. There’s still one year before the Tai Xu Immortal Search begins. During this time, he planned to make good use of it, settling down to cultivate.
However…
Expectations run counter to reality.
Seven days later, a piece of bad news came from Qian Du:
The Profound Immortal Pavilion was destroyed. Among them, one Gold Core and three Foundation-builders were missing. Only Fei Chao happened to be not in the pavilion and escaped the disaster. The rest of them, Huo Ming, Liu Ruyan, and Bai Wanqing, were all missing.
When this news was spread to the sect, there was a sudden uproar. Everyone was indignant, but there were no clues, and it was not known which sect was responsible.
On the third day after the news arrived at the sect, a Foundation-building loose cultivator claimed to have received a commission and brought a Jade Butterfly to Xuandan Sect, saying it had news of Huo Ming and others.
Again, everyone gathered in the Xuandan Hall.
The Jade Butterfly was engraved with the word ‘Zhang.’
The mana was injected into the Jade Butterfly, and a shadow emerged.
In the image, there were three cultivators who were unconscious due to their injuries. They were none other than Huo Ming, Liu Ruyan, and Bai Wanqing. Before them stood a young man in a black robe with a calm and composed face. He didn’t seem savage at all. In the space-time distortion, he seemed to see all the people in front of Jade Butterfly from Xuandan Sect.
At this moment, silence spoke volumes.
The Jade Butterfly blinked and shattered on the spot.
Everyone abruptly stood up.
Han Yi’s face was cold, his killing intent soared, and a horrific aura hovered around him, spreading out and permeating the hall. Everyone suddenly felt a chill run down their spines..
