466: Conversation, the situation in the fairy world

After bringing Lin Yan and his group to this place, the Grand White-Robed Venerable quietly retreated.

The white-robed figure, with his hands clasped behind his back, slowly turned around and showed a kind smile to Lin Yan, who was leading the group.

The latter returned the smile and then led everyone towards the pavilion.

“Fellow Daoist, you must not be from my Southern Immortal Domain, correct?”

The Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court chuckled, silver light constantly flashing in his silver eyes.

Hearing this, Lin Yan just nodded slightly and didn't say much. Explaining the matter of ascension would be troublesome, so it was better to gloss over it.

“My name is Xiao Yufeng. May I know Fellow Daoist’s name?”

The Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court didn't mind and asked, appearing very polite, clearly understanding what had happened before his arrival.

“Lin Yan!”

Lin Yan was also very interested in the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court, and he suspected that the other party had another reason for inviting him.

“So it’s Brother Lin. I invited you here this time to discuss something. Would Brother Lin be willing to grant me your presence?”

After the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court finished speaking, he extended his right hand and gestured towards the direction of the building.

“Alright!”

Lin Yan responded, and the two walked towards the building, one after the other. As for Big Yellow Dog and his group, they didn't follow, knowing that the conversation between the two would surely involve some secrets unknown to ordinary people.

They arrived at a platform on top of the building, from which they could see the entire distant lake, and stopped in front of the redwood railing.

The two looked out at the lake, which was sometimes calm and sometimes stirred up waves, without speaking, falling into a brief silence.

“Brother Lin, do you know anything about the Vermilion Bird Palace?”

The Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court suddenly spoke.

“I don’t know. If Brother Xiao has something to say, please speak directly!”

Lin Yan replied indifferently.

“Countless years ago, the entire Immortal World was ruled by a vast and mysterious power, revered by all immortals, and no one dared to challenge it. It was at its peak.”

“The Vermilion Bird Palace was one of the Four Symbols Palace under its command, governing the Southern Immortal Domain, while the other three immortal domains were ruled by the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise Palaces.”

“As for the Central Immortal Domain, it was the headquarters of this power, suppressing the entire Immortal World.”

“But later, for unknown reasons, this power suddenly disintegrated, and all its high-ranking members disappeared without a trace. Thus, the Four Symbols Palace also completely vanished into the river of history.”

“However, it wasn't annihilation but rather reclusion. No one knows where they are hidden, and as time passed, it gradually became a mystery.”

“But apart from a very few people, almost no one in the world knows about the existence of such an Immortal World behemoth countless years ago.”

“Now, the Vermilion Bird Palace has made a comeback, and other immortal domains will surely follow suit. Perhaps they are preparing to overturn the current order and rule the entire Immortal World once again.”

At this point, the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court’s expression was very solemn, as if he was worried about something.

Hearing this, a look of contemplation and sudden realization flashed in Lin Yan’s eyes.

So the Vermilion Bird Palace and the power behind it had such a history. No wonder they showed such disdain towards the current overlord of the Southern Immortal Domain, the Myriad Immortals Court.

Perhaps, in their view, compared to their past glory, the current Immortal World was like a pile of loose sand, not worth worrying about.

This also meant that the Vermilion Bird Palace and the power behind it had the confidence to suppress the Immortal World again.

“Brother Xiao, what is the current structure of the Immortal World, and do you have any contact with other immortal domain powers?”

Thinking of this, Lin Yan couldn't help but ask.

The Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court gave a wry smile and said, “This is precisely what worries me. The current Immortal World also has a nascent power that can almost be called a hegemon. I am actually a part of that power.”

“Although it may not compare to the glory created by the Vermilion Bird Palace and the power behind it in the past, it is extremely close. Perhaps in a while, it will be able to completely rule the entire Immortal World and replicate the legend.”

“But now that they have made a comeback, there will inevitably be a great battle between the two sides, unavoidable, because only one side can win and secure the position of Immortal World overlord.”

Hearing this, Lin Yan also understood why the other party seemed so troubled. The great battle between the two sides was already destined, unless someone was willing to surrender, but that possibility was extremely slim.

He just didn't know whether the Vermilion Bird Palace and the power behind it had recovered their full strength from back then. This might be the key factor in determining success or failure.

Seeing that Lin Yan didn't continue to ask, he tentatively said, “May I know your stance, Fellow Daoist?”

The reason he asked this was naturally because he valued Lin Yan's strength. Even as an Immortal Dao Saint realm expert, he couldn't see through the other party's depth.

But he could be sure that the other party must have also stepped into this realm. Therefore, even looking at the entire Immortal World, he was an extremely formidable fighting force. If possible, he wanted to win him over to his side.

Lin Yan shook his head slightly and said indifferently, “I don’t want to participate in the matters between you.”

“But Brother Lin, you are already at odds with them, unless you are willing to give up the bronze fragment...”

The Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court said with a serious and sincere tone.

“It seems Brother Xiao knows the origin of this item?”

Lin Yan asked with some curiosity. He had never figured out the origin of the bronze fragment since he obtained it.

But what surprised him was that the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court not only gave a wry smile but also explained, “Even I don’t know the origin of this item, but I’m afraid it is a treasure-level existence even among the powers behind the Vermilion Bird Palace.”

“Therefore, unless Brother Lin gives up the fragment, he will inevitably be targeted by them.”

At this point, his meaning was also very clear: since they were likely to become enemies, it was better to join forces with them.

Lin Yan also understood this principle. After a moment of contemplation, his voice was calm and carried an undeniable meaning as he said, “There is no reason for something that has come into my hands to be given up. As for how the Vermilion Bird Palace chooses, it has nothing to do with me!”

Although the Vermilion Bird Palace and the power behind it were undoubtedly incredibly powerful, Lin Yan had never been threatened since he began cultivating.

He only did what he wanted to do. If the other party insisted on snatching it from him at that time, then he couldn't be blamed for taking action!

Moreover, he vaguely sensed a unique aura from this bronze fragment, as if it didn't belong to this world. Perhaps it wasn't even an item of the Vermilion Bird Palace at all, but merely a coincidence of shared objectives.

Hearing this, the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court smiled. It seemed that there might be an additional helper in the future great battle.

After the two continued to converse for a while, they summoned Big Yellow Dog and his group, and the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court also distributed the rewards for the Myriad Immortals Assembly.

However, his expression was a bit strange, clearly not expecting that all the rewards for this Myriad Immortals Assembly were swept up by the people around Lin Yan.

Big Yellow Dog and the others were all delighted, as these rewards contained many insights into reaching the Immortal Venerable realm, which were of crucial importance to them.

No wonder many of the strong individuals who had previously received rewards had entered the Immortal Venerable realm and achieved the reputation of a magnate because of them.
