Chapter 997: Chapter 415: Promoted to Half-Immortal, Qingping Trembles_3
Thus, the seas have transformed into mulberry fields, and the mountains and rivers have changed beyond recognition.
Thirty thousand years ago, the Sect Master of Jin Xuan Sect established the sect here, naming it the Jin Xuan Immortal Sect. However, ten thousand years ago, the Sect Master, a True Immortal of Jin Xuan, fell outside the sect, demoting Jin Xuan Sect to a Half-Immortal Sect, where it remains to this day.
One hundred years ago.
The Sect Master of Jin Xuan Sect accidentally discovered an abnormal place beneath the main pulse of the sect, and upon investigation, it turned out to be a sealed Cave Heaven world.
After probing the periphery of the Cave Heaven, they concluded that this world had been in existence for a hundred thousand years already.
What shocked them even more was that the reason the Taishang Mountain Range had degenerated to the lowest level of Immortal Vein was because this Cave Heaven was continuously absorbing the energy of the Immortal Vein.
Combining this with the genealogical records and the past history of the Taishang Mountain Range, it was not difficult to infer that this mysterious Cave Heaven world had existed since the last Yuan Gathering, when the Taishang Dojo was still present.
That is to say, this Cave Heaven was left by the Taishang Immortal Monarch.
This was an Immortal Monarch level legacy.
The Sect Master of Jin Xuan Sect, inheritor of the Jin Xuan Tao Title, and a Jin Xuan Half-Immortal, summoned the five Half-Immortal-level Elders of the sect. After setting the strictest and most severe vows of the Heavenly Tao, he revealed to them the existence of the Cave Heaven.
Subsequently, with excited hearts, the six Half-Immortals began to excavate this Cave Heaven world.
However, the arrays and prohibitions outside this Cave Heaven were extremely strong, layered one upon the other, and they had to keep their excavation quiet, for fear of attracting attention from other sects.
After all, this was an Immortal Monarch level legacy. If the news truly spread, the various dojos and Immortal Sects of the Huangtian Immortal Domain would definitely flock there. Those who could flee quickly might survive; those who couldn’t would have only death awaiting them.
Therefore, they preferred to proceed slowly to ensure that their excavation remained undetected.
Even so, after slowing down considerably, today, a hundred years later, the restrictive array closest to the world’s boundary barrier of the Cave Heaven had finally been worn down.
The Taishang Mountain Range, Jin Xuan Sect, the back mountain.
Six cultivators stood on a stone wall, excited to the point that even an elderly Half-Immortal-level cultivator was trembling with agitation.
The stone wall was flickering with spirit light. In fact, this was an entrance leading to a mysterious and vast Cave Heaven world hidden in deeper space.
“Immortal Monarch level legacy, Immortal Monarch level legacy, ah.”
“Just by entering the Cave Heaven world and obtaining even the slightest clue, we would absolutely have the opportunity to cross the Immortal Tribulation.”
“From today onwards, Jin Xuan Sect will return to the ranks of Immortal Sects,” declared the Jin Xuan Half-Immortal with an excited and decisive tone.
After calming down, the Great Elder of Jin Xuan Sect, Guo Xi, waved his hand and released dozens of small-sized Gu insects.
Guo Xi was a Bug Control Master, which was one of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation. However, unlike Pill Masters or Artifact Refiners, it was not mainstream, tending to be more niche.
He propelled his thoughts to drive the Gu insects, crawling over dozens of meters of spatial ground. Then, they burrowed into the stone wall, whereupon the spirit light on the stone wall flashed, and the insects disappeared without a trace.
“Eh?” Guo Xi’s expression changed slightly.
The Jin Xuan Half-Immortal and the other Elders’ faces also changed, anxiously asking:
“What’s the matter?”
“Is there a great danger inside?”
“What should we do if it’s dangerous at the Immortal Level? We cannot explore it, sitting on a mountain of treasure yet unable to enter it.”
“Great Elder, Great Elder.”
Guo Xi did not immediately respond but closed his eyes instead. Seeing this, the Jin Xuan Half-Immortal gestured for the other Elders to be silent.
A full six breaths passed before Guo Xi reopened his eyes, his face expression going through a phase of confusion. Six breaths was a considerably long time for a Half-Immortal, making the surrounding cultivators grow increasingly restless.
Although they had cultivated for thousands of years and their minds should not be so easily disturbed, they were not facing an ordinary temptation, but the temptation of an Immortal Monarch level legacy, tantamount to a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator encountering a True Immortal legacy. If attained, it would be an ascent to the heavens in a single step.
“They’re not dead.”
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
“None of my Gu insects died.”
“However, they have lost contact with me.”
“The world behind this stone wall is a very distant place.”
“However, it shouldn’t be like this.”
Guo Xi showed a puzzled and perplexed expression.
“What shouldn’t be?” Jin Xuan Half Immortal pressed.
Guo Xi looked towards the stone wall that was faintly shimmering with spirit light and said,
“It shouldn’t be undetectable.”
“I released twelve types of Gu insects simultaneously, one of which is the Tianya Worm, named after the idea of ‘ends of the earth,’ implying that no matter how far away, it should be detectable.”
“But just now, when the Tianya Worm entered the stone wall, the connection was abruptly lost. This shouldn’t happen.”
“Two thousand years ago, when I had just become a half-immortal, I traveled out and visited the ancient Immortal Court in the north, then went to the territories of the Evil Clan in the east, and finally, I even went to the Qingling Immortal Domain in the south. I tested it back then – in the Qingling Immortal Domain, I could still sense the Tianya Worm I left in the utmost northern part of the Immortal Realm.”
At this point, Guo Xi paused, seemingly coming to a realization, and his expression involuntarily darkened:
“That is to say, in that instant just now, the place reached by the Tianya Worm was beyond the north-south expanse of the Daluo Immortal Realm.”
He pointed towards the stone wall and concluded decisively,
“This Cave Heaven world, no, it’s very likely not a Cave Heaven world, but some other region. It doesn’t lie in the deeper layers of our current world, not even within the Daluo Immortal Realm.”
“It’s in the depths of the Outer Domain Void, or possibly, another Immortal Realm.”
With these words, all the cultivators present were startled.
Before the crowd could respond, Guo Xi gritted his teeth and took out another insect from his Internal Cave World.
Calling it a Gu insect, however, what he actually retrieved was a woman with a pair of golden wings, as thick as a finger.
If this Gu insect were enlarged many times over, it would be regarded as an Ancient Alien Race, similar to the Four Eyed Golden Winged creature Han Yi encountered in the Void Tower before, but this insect didn’t have four eyes. Apart from the pair of golden wings and its size, there was no difference from humans.
Seeing Guo Xi take out this insect, the expressions of Jin Xuan Half Immortal and the other elders was one of amazement, because they had never seen Guo Xi use this insect before, nor had they come across a similarly shaped insect anywhere else.
Guo Xi looked at the insect he took out, with a touch of reluctance, but still gently prodded it, conveying his thoughts. The insect quickly flapped its wings and, at tremendous speed, dashed into the stone wall.
Only then did Guo Xi slowly start speaking, explaining,
“This is something I found in a relic, it’s not actually a Gu insect. I suspect it belongs to the Ancient Alien Race, but I’ve been unable to find any record of it in all the ancient texts.”
“Using my Bug Control techniques, however, it responds to control just the same.”
“This insect has greater intelligence than others; I hope she can bring us a surprise.”
No sooner had the sensation fallen than the light on that stone wall brightened slightly, shocking everyone. Before they could react, the golden figure that had darted in swiftly flew back out.
Seeing this, the cultivators of Jin Xuan Sect were overjoyed.
“There’s no danger on the other side.”
“That’s great.”
“What is this, a sword?”
“It’s a Half-Immortal Item.”
At that moment, the small person who flew out from the stone wall was dragging a dark-green long sword, the tip trailing behind. The small figure was wobbling, refusing to let go, continuing to drag it out of the stone wall until she finally dropped it.
Exhausted, the small person fell from mid-air and sat on the hilt of the sword, gasping for breath.
At the same moment,
Across nearly half of the Daluo Immortal Realm, inside Immortal Mansion No. 826 within the Age Candle Immortal Court, Han Yi, who had been in closed-door cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes and looked to the side.
There, his Qingping Sword placed nearby began to quiver slightly. This vibration seemed tentative at first, as if it had confirmed something, it grew increasingly intense and even a dense sword intention began to rise.
“Hm?”
“Is this… has a Divided Sword appeared?”
