Nine Elders of the Immortal Sect
***
The old man was rather calm. His expression was cold as he glanced at Sun Wanshi and said nonchalantly, "Are you sure that it was really Deva who infiltrated the Upper World with the help of the Heavenly Cycle Star Pavilion?"
"There's no doubt about that." Sun Wanshi nodded solemnly and said, That “Song Zhong has the power of the Deva Dharma Idol, and there are only a few Devas in the entire Great Zhou.
“The Heavenly Cycle Star Pavilion has announced that they will seclude themselves and will not exit. It was impossible for the Yellow Black Heavenly Palace to help these families. Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong were not here either. Other than Deva from the Underworld infiltrating the Heavenly Void World, who else was it?”
"What if it is the Peerless Sky Demon of the Underworld?" the old man said frankly. "What if this is just bait to lure us in?"
“Ah, this..” Sun Wanshi trembled upon hearing this. He said carefully, “No way, Master. The passage of two worlds has long since passed. There's no way that Devil's come to our side in a hundred years, right?
"What gives you the illusion that the Sky Devil won't sneak in?" The old man sneered and stood up. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked towards Guanzhou County. He said in a low voice, “You are still too inexperienced. Have you forgotten the description of the Sky Demon that I gave you earlier?
"This disciple remembers!" Seeing his master seem a little angry, Sun Wanshi hurriedly knelt down. “After the people from the Heavenly Cycle Star Pavilion brought back the news of the Underworld, the nine elders held a secret meeting.
After a secret meeting, Cui Heng of the Underworld was crowned as the Unparalleled Sky Demon of the outside world. He was an existence that would threaten the entire Heavenly Void World. We must gather all our strength to destroy this Sky Demon.”
"What else?" the old man asked in a low voice.
“To prepare for this Invasion of the Unmatched Sky Demon, we must collect all the Heavenly Dew Crystals,” continued Sun Wanshi. “We must destroy the Nine Featured Families and 24 aristocratic families one by one and collect their Heavenly Dew Crystals.
However, in order to hide the truth, we must use the vague pursuit of Deva as a public target to attack ordinary families and small sects.
If we manage to capture that fleeing Deva and hand it over to the nine elders, we can have the opportunity to enter the ancient mystic realm to choose peerless divine techniques. It's a great opportunity.”
"Of all this information, did you not find anything?" The old man looked at Sun Wanshi.
“...” Sun Wanshi said after a moment of silence, “Murid is stupid.”
"Sighs." The old man shook his head and said, “Basically, this means that the power of the Peerless Sky Demon has far exceeded the limits we can withstand. It might even exceed the limit of what the Nine Elders could handle.
“Is the level of battle against this kind of powerful enemy something you and I can follow? I'm ordered to bring you here because I have no other choice. Why do you still intend to interfere in this level battle?
I'm not alive enough. If you want to die, please. I'll cut off my relationship with you first.”
"Aah?!" Sun Wanshi was stunned this time, as if she was also frightened. He said in a vibrating voice, “Then, then what should we do now? Teacher, can we directly leave Linjiang County?”
"What do you think?" The old man said with a disappointed expression, “If I had known earlier, I would not have let you take the pill until you advanced. Your cultivation path is too smooth.
We are here on the orders of the King of Heaven of the sect. Even if we just stay here and do nothing, it is much better than being punished for running away.”
“Then what should we do next?” Sun Wanshi was completely confused this time.
"Let's wait and see" the old man said in a low voice. “Continue observing in secret. Pay attention to the movement of that person in Guanzhou City and whether anyone else has come to visit. Try your best to verify the person's identity.”
"What if it was really the fleeing Deva and not the Unrivaled Sky Demon?" Sun Wanshi asked.
"Although that's the case, I won't take action either." The old man shook his head and said, “We just need to find a way to lure others. How can the ancient mystic realm be more important than my life?
“Wanshi, you have to remember that whatever it is, be it a contribution, an award, or an opportunity, it is not as important as your life. You must be careful. After all, you can fight for everything even after you lose it, but if you lose a life, it is completely lost.
“Murid will follow Master's teachings!” Sun Wanshi prostrated.
However, he was still a little angry.
He had used the Heaven Essence Immortal Pill to become a Deva. Although his forging and suffering in this manner was much less, it also caused his cultivation to stop forever in the Deva Realm, and there was no possibility of breaking through.
Entering the ancient mystic realm and finding an ancient god medicine to be reborn and wash away the impurities in his body was his only hope.
He won't give up.
Therefore, after Sun Wanshi bowed, she pleaded, “Master, I am not strong enough. It's easy to find if I shadow someone. Can you give me a treasure to hide my aura?
"I have to give you something." The old man did not refuse this time. He took out a bronze mirror and handed it to Sun Wanshi. “This treasure is called Breath Concealing Mirror. It can hold your Deva aura and make you seem like an ordinary person. Easier to hide.”
"Thank you sir!" Sun Wanshi took the mirror and hurriedly thanked him.
According to him, with this precious mirror, it would be easier for him to investigate the situation in Guanzhou City, and his chances of success would be higher.
When I enter the ancient mystic realm, I will definitely find a god medicine that can change my body! thought Sun Wanshi.
….
At an inn in Guanzhou City.
If that's the case, they're still alive. After all this time, have they stepped into a new realm? Are they already comparable to Nascent Soul realm?
My description given by the Heavenly Cycle Star Pavilion was only based on a portion of my strength when I was in the Late Completion Golden Core Realm. However, for the Nine Elders to be so nervous, it meant that they should not possess the strength of the Nascent Soul realm.
Then is it the middle-stage or late-stage Golden Core realm? To deal with me, they need to collect all of the Heaven Dew Crystals in the world. What's the point of this?
Objects that have accumulated the good fortune of the state and are fused with some spirituality of the will of all living beings can be used to nurture the spirituality of Dharma or supernatural treasures. But what else can be used for it?
When Sun Wanshi left, Cui Heng left an almost undetectable mark on his body.
The effect of this mark was similar to the Golden Core Divinity he created at the Late Completion stage.
He could treat the sign as an extension of his sense of divinity.
This way, there would be no secrets in Sun Wanshi's conversation with her master.
Cui Heng understood everything.
The biggest advantage was the information about the Nine Elders.
From the conversation between Sun Wanshi and his master, he roughly understood that the Nine Elders might not have stepped into the Nascent Soul realm.
However, the Nine Elders should have understood the method to gather the power of the Heavenly Dew Immortal Crystal and were confident in using this method to destroy the so-called "Devil of Heaven".
Although the "Devil Heavens" described by them only displayed a small portion of Cui Heng's strength and were only at the Late Completion Golden Core Realm, it was enough to prove that the "Nine Elders" it definitely has some unknown powerful method in their hands. .
"What method is this?" Cui Heng instinctively became curious.
This was a characteristic of cultivators in the Nascent Soul realm. As long as one cultivated to Nascent Soul realm, they would be curious about the unknown. It's almost instinctive.
The higher the unknown level, the stronger the reaction to the unknown.
“When Hui Shi or Pei Qingshu come, I can ask them about the situation.” Cui Heng slightly nodded and averted his gaze. He thought to himself, "I can put my trip to Daoyi Palace higher on the agenda list."
Daoyi Palace already had the Mystic God Taiyi 3,000 years ago, and its cultivation level was above that of the Nine Elders.
Now, the Daoyi Palace was being oppressed and targeted by the Nine Immortal Sect. Perhaps because something had happened to this Mystical God Taiyi.
Even if there were no problems, it was likely that he was at odds with the Nine Immortal Sect. Otherwise, they would not have ended up in this situation.
In this way, it is possible to learn some secrets from this former Mystical God Taiyi.
At the same time, it could increase his Nascent Soul cultivation.
….
Song Zhong did his best to rush back to Linjiang County. He directly went to Naxian Hall to look for Hui Shi.
Currently, Hui Shi was discussing the entire structure of the Naxian Hall with Pei Yue.
"Trs. Song, why are you back?” Pei Yuezhi was a little surprised to see Song Zhong was in such a hurry.
He was just an expert of the Inner World. Even though his name was the servant of the Naxian Hall, he still respected Song Zhong and Tang Huaiyi.
“The problem in Guanzhou City has been resolved, but there is another important thing,” Song Zhong explained. He did not directly say what was important because he had been taught by Tang Huaiyi before he came and knew how to report the situation.
"Important issue?" Pei Yuezhi was a little surprised when she heard this. Then, he glanced at Hui Shi beside him and smiled. “I still have some other things to deal with. You guys chat first.”
With that, he stood up and left.
"..." - ".Song Zhong was a little embarrassed upon seeing this. After Pei Yuezhi left, he lowered his voice and said to Hui Shi, “Deva Chen, is this alright? After all, this is the territory of the Pei.” family
“No problem. Actually, he should have known my identity, but he didn't do anything. This means it is the will of Deva Pei.” Hui Shi waved his hand and smiled. "Trs. Song has returned in a hurry. Do you have any news of His Eternal Majesty?
“True, His Eternal Majesty is in Guanzhou City!” Song Zhong nodded.
"That's cool!" Hui Shi immediately became excited and said happily, “Follow me to pack my luggage. We will soon go to pay our respects to Eternal Majesty. I have gathered a lot of information and I am just waiting to report it to His Eternal Majesty.
….
After Pei Yuezhi walked out of the Naxian Hall, he pondered for a moment before making a decision.
He called a waiter and said in a low voice, “Prepare the carriage and bring me a box of my great-grandfather's favorite fruit. Then, send me to the Heart Nourishing Courtyard in the south of town.”
The Guardians of the Heart courtyard is the residence of Deva Pei. It was the backbone of the Linjiang Pei family and the core of their operation.
