593: The fourth

“Big news, big news! Princess Huaying of the Xinlai Ancient Kingdom has challenged Young Master Ting, the third outstanding talent of the Zhou Family!”

Five years later, this news spread among the young Cultivators in the Chaotic Sea, Xin Lai Realm, and Xuanyun Realm, capturing the attention of the current young generation.

After all, both of them, whether by identity or talent, were top-tier existences within this vast area of ten million li, and were among the objects of admiration, worship, and challenge for many young Cultivators.

In the southern part of the Chaotic Sea, on a medium-sized island named Qingfeng Island.

Inside Yuhua Restaurant in Qingfeng City.

The young Cultivators gathered there were discussing animatedly, talking about the widely circulated news of the past month.

“Fellow Daoist, how did you come to know this?”

Although the news was widespread, there were still Cultivators who didn't know the full story.

Therefore, some puzzled Cultivators quietly asked those gathered there.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist, you don't know. More than a month ago, Cultivators from the Xinlai Ancient Kingdom entered the Flowing Light Sand Realm, set up checkpoints, and temporarily designated the Flowing Light Sand Realm as a Forbidden Ground.”

“After that, news spread that five years ago, Princess Huaying had challenged Young Master Ting to another battle five years later.”

“Speaking of the love-hate relationship and entangled grievances between Princess Huaying and Young Master Ting, there's a lot to tell. Let me slowly narrate it...”

Young Cultivators all yearned for fame.

When it was revealed that these two famous young talents had a hidden entanglement unknown to outsiders, it immediately captivated all the Cultivators present.

“It is said that Princess Huaying is as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, and her mastery of the Dao of Li Huo has long been renowned throughout the Xinlai Ancient Capital. Countless young talents in the Xinlai Ancient Kingdom have fallen for her, but Princess Huaying has always remained unmoved. I heard that the only person who had a slight chance of winning Princess Huaying's heart died five years ago.”

“The death of this person just so happened to bring about the acquaintance of Princess Huaying and Young Master Ting...”

A busybody spoke with great relish, his voice rising and falling.

Making all the Cultivators listen attentively, not daring to miss a single detail.

However, among them, a figure seated by the window remained indifferent, unmoved.

This figure was about twenty-something years old, with a face that wasn't exceptionally handsome, but possessed a steady demeanor.

“Princess Huaying, Young Master Ting... nothing more than that...”

The young man sitting by the window glanced at the Cultivator who was vividly describing the secret affairs between Princess Huaying and Young Master Ting, like a storyteller, and slowly shook his head in his heart.

Ever since his Awakening of past memories, he knew that in this Chaotic Sea, apart from the Xuanhuang Dao Monarch, the Old Ancestor of the Zhou Family, there was no one else worthy of his attention.

The young man listened for a moment, found it quite uninteresting, left a few Spirit Stones on the table, and with a light movement of his body, headed out of the restaurant.

The young man's departure did not alarm the Cultivators in the restaurant.

However, if there were Cultivators who had been to the Dead Silent Sea, they would recognize that this young and steady figure was none other than Immortal Master Qiyu, who had made a formidable name for himself in the Dead Silent Sea.

As Immortal Master Qiyu's half-foot just stepped out of the Yuhua Restaurant, a sudden alarm blared in his heart.

Just then, a seven-colored mysterious light rose in Immortal Master Qiyu's mind.

Within the beautiful seven-colored mysterious light, an enchanting figure with a seven-colored tail slowly walked over.

“Little Fellow Daoist, why the rush to leave?”

The enchanting figure's voice was soft, making it impossible for anyone to object.

“Venerable...”

Immortal Master Qiyu's face changed drastically.

“Damn it, how could this be...”

Immortal Master Qiyu bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and his vital blood spread, transforming into the Dao technique from his memory, allowing him to temporarily escape that charming yet dangerous environment.

“Soul Burning Secret Art!”

Immortal Master Qiyu dared not hesitate. With a pang in his Divine Soul, his figure turned into an afterimage, ready to escape from the restaurant.

Just then, another tall figure holding a small bell appeared in his peripheral vision.

The tall figure tossed the small bell into the air.

Dong!

A bell chime rang out.

Immortal Master Qiyu's thoughts suddenly froze, and the Soul Burning Secret Art stopped functioning.

Immediately after, a mysterious light swept over.

Immortal Master Qiyu lost focus.

His aura calmed, and he tilted towards the inside of the restaurant.

Buzz~

However, before he could fall to the ground, Immortal Master Qiyu's figure quietly disappeared.

Inside and outside the restaurant, it seemed no Cultivator noticed this change.

At the same time, on Qingfeng Island, above the clouds, stood several figures.

“Fellow Daoist Qian Mei, do you see if this is that person?”

The tall figure holding a small bell and the few people around him looked at the young figure wrapped in mysterious light, floating in the air, with no trace of relaxation on their faces.

“Alright.”

Venerable Qian Mei Hu, whose figure was enchanting and whose every gesture exuded charm, nodded.

She formed hand seals, activating a secret art obtained by her Family from the South Sea Divine Island deep within the Inner Sea.

Buzz~

Venerable Qian Mei Hu's eyes narrowed as she looked at the young figure before her, who was frowning and unconscious.

In just an instant, Venerable Qian Mei Hu slowly shook her head.

This secret art could reveal traces of the Divine Soul Origin. Although the young man's Divine Soul Origin was thick, it was not pure, with many auras entangled within it.

“No, although there's an aura, there's no substance.”

Venerable Qian Mei Hu sighed softly.

“This is already the fourth one...”

She was tasked by the Zhang Family and several other Nascent Soul Venerables to investigate the Reincarnation of Dao Lord Yuheng.

So far, they had already found several figures with a similar aura to Dao Lord Yuheng.

However, none of them were his true body.

“I think we are getting close to the target.”

At this moment, someone spoke from above the clouds.

“We only need to investigate all the places this person has been to and the people he has met over the years, and then compare them with the movements of the previous three people. This way, we can narrow down our search target.”

“If we can find similar people in the future, we can also proceed in the same manner, unraveling the clues to find that person.”

“Indeed.”

“This matter is extremely difficult for others, but for us, it is quite simple.”

Another Nascent Soul Venerable added. They were all veteran Nascent Soul Venerables from the Void Refining major powers within the Thousand Island Alliance, and this matter was personally ordered by a Dao Monarch, so they faced no obstacles in their actions.

“It should be so.”

Venerable Qian Mei Hu nodded.

Then, with a flick of her finger, she took the unconscious young figure and, with several Nascent Soul Venerables, disappeared above Qingfeng Island.

Just as this young figure was subdued by Venerable Qian Mei Hu and the others.

Inside True Monarch Ming Yu's Immortal Cave in the Qingtian Sect of Junyu Island, Yao Yubai awoke from his meditative state, looked into the distance, a slight smile playing on his lips.

At the same time.

Outside the stone wall of the Xuan Dao Peak Forbidden Ground.

The Daozi of the Xuandao Palace, ‘Qin Wuyou,’ slowly rose, bowed to the stone wall, and then slowly walked out.

‘Qin Wuyou’ did not stop, but his gaze seemed to fall into the endless Void Realm.

Inside the stone wall.

Dao Lord Xuan Tian looked at the indestructible azure lamp suspended in the air, his expression constantly changing.

“The refining progress seems to be getting slower and slower...”

“Could it be that even with the Ye Family Bloodline, I cannot completely master this Heavenly Venerable's weapon...”

“Should I look for another method...”

Dao Lord Xuan Tian looked at the ordinary qing deng before him, which seemed to possess no power, and murmured softly to himself.

Too many things recently, my thoughts are not flowing well, and it's a bit of a difficult birth. My apologies, my apologies~
