367: Returning to the Ruins, Ferrying Immortals

Several people focused their attention and looked over.

Chen Xuan also focused his mind, ready to get information for free.

Number Seven paused deliberately for half a breath, every word carrying weight: "The Ancient Secret Realm in the waters of the Heavenly Tribulation Continent, I'm sure you have all heard of it. This time the Secret Realm opens, the guixu immortal ferry boat will appear."

guixu immortal ferry boat!

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the five people present changed drastically, each with their own thoughts. Even the phantom of Number Eight, which was about to dissipate, suddenly froze for a moment, clearly shocked by this news.

Number Five's eyes locked onto Number Seven, asking urgently: "Is this news really reliable, Fellow Daoist? The guixu immortal ferry boat has always been mysterious. Its last appearance was two hundred years ago in the outer sea of the Red Immortal Pavilion."

Chen Xuan was completely bewildered.

What exactly is the guixu immortal ferry boat? It seems he can't continue listening to this song today; he'll have to quickly brush up on relevant information later.

Hearing this, Number Seven nodded slightly, his tone certain: "I specifically asked a Cultivator of the Yin-Yang School to perform a divination on this news. The hexagram is clear; the appearance of the Immortal Ferry is destiny, and there is no falsehood in it."

The divination abilities of the Yin-Yang School's Cultivators have always been recognized as precise in the Cultivation World. Being able to get them to perform a deduction shows that Number Seven is very concerned about this matter, so the news naturally cannot be fake.

Number Two chuckled: "Interesting."

"It seems this time's Heavenly Tribulation Continent Secret Realm will be the liveliest one in over a hundred years."

Just as Chen Xuan was hesitating whether to find a way to ask what that guixu immortal ferry boat was...

Number Four spoke up at the right time, still maintaining the posture of a Junior, making an inquiry that fit his persona: "Seniors, seeing your reactions, this guixu immortal ferry boat must be a supreme treasure. However, I am ignorant and have never heard its name. I wonder what its origins are and what kind of divine object it is?"

Number Five spoke without keeping him in suspense: "I have only heard some rumors. No one knows how this Immortal Ferry was born, but one thing is certain: there are countless treasures and opportunities on the ferry. The most famous among them is a book."

"A book?"

Number Four asked in confusion.

Chen Xuan listened more intently than he ever had at work in his previous life, holding his breath and quietly playing the role of an eavesdropper.

"Indeed!"

Number Two took over the topic: "It is said that the book records all the past times of this Cultivation World. Any information you want can be found in it. There are even rumors that only this book records the method for attaining Dao and Immortal Ascension."

Attaining Dao and Immortal Ascension?

No wonder everyone reacted so strongly; even Number Two, a Heavenly Venerate, called it interesting.

No Cultivator could remain unmoved by the words 'Immortal Ascension'. After all, even if one reaches the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, their Lifespan is only three thousand years. To truly exist eternally and live forever, one must ultimately break through the shackles of heaven and earth and achieve Immortal Ascension.

Even a sliver of related news is enough to make tens of thousands of Cultivators flock to it.

Number Eight narrowed his eyes, looked in the direction where Number Seven had disappeared, and said indifferently: "Number Seven, you came specifically to share this information. Could it be that you want to form an alliance with everyone?"

Number Seven shook his head: "An alliance is unnecessary. This information has little meaning to me. It's better to share it; perhaps it can become a topic for conversation over wine in the future."

"Now that the news has been delivered, do as you please."

As the voice fell, Number Seven's figure suddenly dissipated in the Chaos Space.

Number Eight chuckled and whispered: "Truly an old fox."

Number Five hesitated for a moment and tentatively asked the group: "Will everyone go to that Heavenly Tribulation Continent Secret Realm?"

Chen Xuan thought to himself, for a moment unable to tell if Number Five was fishing or if his nature was just naturally straightforward.

Number Four shook his head decisively, looking sincere: "My cultivation base is shallow. It's better not to join the excitement of such a Secret Realm. It's more practical to go into closed-door Cultivation instead."

After these words, Number Two was the first to turn into a stream of light and leave, and the others also left one after another. This piece of Chaos Space returned to silence.

The surrounding scene suddenly returned to normal, and Chen Xuan was still in the inn.

He casually put the Chaos Void Jade into his storage ring and looked up to see Qin Tianxing and the other person glance at him, then look away and continue drinking and watching the dance, without any intention of asking questions.

Chen Xuan didn't say much either, pouring himself a cup of flowing sunset drunkenness and gulping it down, beginning to review the gains from this Chaos Void Jade group chat in his mind.

Number Five is likely from the Huangji Prefecture and seems not very bright, though it's hard to say if he's deliberately acting to fish for information. Number Seven took the initiative to throw out the news of the guixu immortal ferry boat but didn't mention his purpose at all; he clearly wants to lure everyone into a game. Whether he just wants to muddy the waters or has other plans is unknown, but it's definitely not out of simple kindness.

As everyone knows, free things are often the most expensive, especially information. This seemingly free news might be the bait to hook everyone.

But one thing is certain: Number Seven's target must be that guixu immortal ferry boat.

While Chen Xuan was secretly speculating like this, a figure in a white dress appeared gracefully in the inn, her hem fluttering slightly, every step like a blooming lotus.

Qi Yue stood among the tables, her temperament pure and transcendent. Her plain dress highlighted her slender figure, and her appearance far surpassed the women dancing on stage, like the bright moon in the sky making the stars lose their luster.

She just glanced indifferently at the stage and the audience. That cold gaze made the dancers instantly stop their movements, bowing and retreating to the side in silence, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Then she walked slowly to Chen Xuan's side, bowed slightly,

"Sect Master!"

Chen Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he felt that Qi Yue's voice was no longer as soft as usual, but rather chilly.

He caught a glimpse of the halted music and dance on stage from the corner of his eye. His mind raced, and he immediately shifted the blame, smiling at Qin Tianxing: "Brother Qin, next time you chat with me, it's better to pick a more elegant and quiet place. Such noise makes us lose our style."

Qin Tianxing's hand holding the wine cup paused. Before he could speak, he sensed a cold gaze locked onto him.

Oh no!

From the corner of his eye, he quickly glanced at Qi Yue beside him. Seeing that although her eyes were downcast, a faint low pressure surrounded her, his mind raced.

Although taking the blame for his adoptive father was a duty, if he offended this seemingly gentle but actually intimidating Elder Qi Yue because of it, who knows how many hidden losses he would suffer in the future. This deal wasn't worth it.

In a flash of thought, Qin Tianxing immediately turned to look at Wang Er: "Wang Er, I told you long ago that Brother Chen has always liked elegance and quiet, yet you insisted on choosing such a noisy restaurant with singing and dancing. I asked you to do a small thing, and you were so inconsiderate!"

Hey!

Wang Er secretly thought he had miscalculated by not bringing that kid Zhu Yang along. He could only bow and cup his hands, looking ashamed: "It was my lack of consideration. I didn't take the Sect Master's preferences into account. I hope the Sect Master will forgive me."

The blame was accepted cleanly. Chen Xuan nodded inwardly, turned to look at Qi Yue, suppressed his smile, and asked seriously: "You're not at the Sect Cultivating, but came here specifically to find me. Did something happen?"

Qi Yue suppressed that trace of imperceptible emotion in her eyes, lowered her head, and replied respectfully: "In response to the Sect Master, a distinguished guest came to the Sect today. I didn't dare to make a decision on my own, so I came to ask the Sect Master to return and decide."

"A distinguished guest?" Chen Xuan's eyebrows rose slightly.

Qi Yue looked up, "The other party claims to be from the Huangji Prefecture. I cannot see through the depth of their cultivation base."
