429: Events on Guanxing Peak

In the Xuanming Great Domain, Azure Dragon Domain, Tianning Peaks, above the Cangyuan River.

A handsome young figure was speaking to an azure blue pearl, though it was unclear what was being said.

After a short while.

The young figure bowed and left.

Only an azure blue pearl remained, quietly suspended above the Cangyuan River, emitting a faint glow.

Inside the precious bead.

A black snake shadow watched Zhou Leren's departing back, deep in thought.

"Chaofeng Ancient Realm, Eastern Barrens, Chaotic Sea, Xi Wu (West Crow) Island..."

Inside the precious bead, information flashed through the black snake shadow's mind.

After Zhou Leren returned from the Two Realms Mountain.

He immediately came to the Cangyuan River.

He relayed the news he had received from the xumi pagoda's artifact spirit to Mo Xuan.

As for the xumi pagoda itself, it could not leave because it was suppressing the connection between the two realms.

Moreover, the xumi pagoda's base was originally a part of the xumi pagoda.

After being shattered yet again.

It was then suppressed by Old Man Tianji.

Under this double damage, it was quite weak at the moment.

It was a good opportunity to use the power of the two realms to repair itself.

Furthermore.

Although the Xumi Heavenly Palace was completely gone.

Its Legacy still needed to be passed down.

"The Chaofeng Ancient Realm's power ceiling is too high. With my current strength, although I can be revered in these two realms."

"But if I go to the Chaofeng Ancient Realm, I probably won't amount to much."

Inside the precious bead, the black snake shadow pondered.

Although he knew of the Upper Realm's existence.

Mo Xuan had no intention of Ascending to the Upper Realm.

As for what Old Man Tianji said.

Whether it was truly impossible to Breakthrough to the Void Refining Realm in the current Lower Realm.

He would only know after trying it himself.

If even he couldn't Breakthrough.

Then he would reconsider.

Additionally.

Mo Xuan's heart stirred.

An invisible Divine Sense followed the ethereal connection, sinking into the distant stars in the sky.

"Zhou Liye..."

Mo Xuan murmured in his heart.

The scale taken by Zhou Liye had never disappeared since his strength increased and it was brought back into his Divine Sense.

It was just that the perception was too distant, seemingly crossing layers of Void Realm planes.

Even with his current strength, even with the connection, he probably couldn't travel there smoothly.

He would probably have to wait until he Breakthrough to the Void Refining Realm, and his Nascent Soul completely transformed into a Primordial Spirit, possessing the ability to permanently reside in the Void Realm, before he could cross such a vast distance.

Moreover, it was unknown whether Zhou Liye was in the Chaofeng Ancient Realm.

With this connection, he could go to the world where Zhou Liye was without breaking the Seal and having strong individuals from the Upper Realm open a passage.

However, all of this would have to wait until his strength in this realm could no longer advance.

Inside the azure blue pearl.

The black snake shadow's heart settled.

He suppressed these thoughts deep within his heart.

The precious bead sank into the Cangyuan River.

Its light receded.

Outside the Cangyuan River.

Zhou Leren took a step and arrived on Qingyang Peak.

After thinking for a moment.

He sent out a Divine Sense message.

It landed in the ear of a young figure sitting cross-legged on Qingyu Peak, whose golden and black Qi intertwined and flickered unsteadily.

On Qingyu Peak.

Zhou Xiangyu's heart stirred.

He calmed the fluctuating Qi on his body.

After thinking for a moment, he got up and found the cold young lady who was wielding a long sword.

After speaking to Jiang Ningchan.

Zhou Xiangyu descended Qingyu Peak, left the Tianning Peaks, and flew towards the direction of the Sword Domain... North of the Sword Domain.

There was a mysterious peak constantly shrouded in mist, making it hard to discern clearly.

However, the people living near the base of the mountain all knew that Immortals resided within that mysterious peak.

This peak was named Star Gazing, and on Star Gazing Peak, an Immortal sect resided above the clouds, consuming mist and dew, feeding on Qi to achieve longevity, named Xingai Grotto-Heaven.

However, the usual tranquility of the mysterious peak was no more at this time.

Star Gazing Peak.

Inside the magnificent and ethereal Star Gazing Hall.

A tall, burly Cultivator, appearing to be in his thirties, sat at the head of the Star Gazing Hall.

Beside him.

A delicate young lady stood.

Below, in the main hall.

Several Cultivators of different appearances, attire, and auras sat.

Behind them.

Each brought two or three young Cultivators, all of extraordinary appearance.

The several Cultivators with profound auras sitting below were calm and composed.

At the head of the hall.

The burly Cultivator and the delicate young lady standing beside him had grim expressions.

Looking at the faces below.

Mu Qingli sneered inwardly.

He had seen all these people before.

But they certainly weren't acting like this back then.

These several Cultivators were all Late Nascent Soul Stage Old Ancestors of their respective forces within the Sword Domain.

Their cultivation was powerful.

However, in the past, they were always respectful towards him and Star Gazing Peak, without the slightest hint of presumption.

But in recent times, things had changed too much.

"Third Young Master, what do you think of this Old Man's proposal?"

Just as silence fell in the main hall.

An old man in purple robes smiled slightly, picked up the spiritual tea beside him, took a sip, and unhurriedly asked the burly Cultivator at the head of the hall.

"Now that Xingai Grotto-Heaven is in turmoil and the domain is unstable, we, who all received Venerable Xingai's favor in the past, do not wish to see this situation occur."

"Therefore, we thought that if Xingai Grotto-Heaven were to form a marriage alliance with us, combining our strengths, we would surely be able to stabilize the overall situation."

The purple-robed old man paused, then continued.

His face showed obvious worry, as if concerned for the common people of the domain.

"Heh heh, that sounds nice."

At the head of the hall, the delicate young lady sneered.

These people were merely taking advantage of the sect's current weakness, hoping to gain something from within.

After Venerable Xingai's fall.

Xingai Grotto-Heaven was besieged by various forces.

By the time she returned with the command token.

All her Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters were already injured.

Now, they were still recuperating.

Only Third Senior Brother was in slightly better condition, overseeing the various affairs of Xingai Grotto-Heaven.

"Seventh Young Miss, we have also watched you grow up. To us, Seventh Young Miss is like our own junior."

"Naturally, we wish for our families to be even closer, making it more convenient for us to look after you."

The purple-robed old man chuckled.

"Today, we have brought extremely outstanding junior Disciples."

"Seventh Young Miss, take a look. If you find someone you like, why not take this opportunity to settle it and announce it to the entire domain?"

Opposite the purple-robed old man, a stern-faced middle-aged Cultivator in white robes continued the conversation.

As the white-robed Cultivator's words fell.

Behind the several Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators who were seated.

One after another, young talents of extraordinary appearance puffed out their chests.

With a confident smile on their faces, they looked towards the delicate young lady.

Mu Qingli was furious.

These people were actually taking advantage of others in such a way.

Showing no regard for past relations.

If it weren't for the snake shadow token being here.

They would probably have swarmed in long ago and cleanly divided Xingai Grotto-Heaven.

The Soul Transformation Legacy, for these old monsters trapped in the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

Its allure was imaginable.

Even with that token.

They found it difficult to suppress their inner desires.

But in the end, they still had some scruples.

They didn't dare to openly make a move.

But having lived for so long.

The methods they had seen and used were certainly not few.

If direct methods didn't work, they would resort to indirect ones.

"Everyone, no need to say more."

"Our sect, from top to bottom, will not agree."

"Please leave."

Third Young Master's face was ashen.

His voice was deliberate, his tone chilling.

"Third Young Master, you better think carefully."

As the burly Third Young Master stood up to usher them out, the purple-robed old man's voice turned cold as he looked at Third Young Master.
