83: The new Saint of the Beginning, Mu Wanjun

The Star Plucking Holy Land was annihilated.

This caused a tremor across the entire Xuan Yun Continent; an ancient Holy Land was actually annihilated overnight, with not a single person surviving in the entire Sect!

Even more astonishing was that within the Star Plucking Holy Land, there were over twenty Saints, more than ten Saint Kings, several Great Saints, and… five Immortal Saints!

This terrifying strength shocked the world.

The Star Plucking Holy Land was merely an ordinary Holy Land, so why did it suddenly possess so many Strong Ones?

This lineup, even an Immortal Holy Land couldn't produce!

This sent shivers down the spines of countless forces.

For tens of millions of years, the Star Plucking Holy Land had never shown its true colors, even being terrifyingly low-key, and the strength it displayed had always been at the bottom among Holy Lands.

If they had been hiding all this time, then that would be truly terrifying.

Ten thousand years of hiding, just for one day to shock the world.

What kind of courage was that?

But now, even such a powerful lineup was annihilated, becoming merely a ripple in the long river of time!

Many forces were curious about the existence that annihilated the Star Plucking Holy Land, who could slaughter Immortal Saints like dogs!

One must know, that was not a Supreme, nor a Saint, nor a Saint King, but an existence above Great Saints, a Saint who had achieved Immortality!

Many major forces speculated that this person was very likely a False God!

A False God is a God Realm Strong One not recognized by this world, without the Dao God Seat Dao Fruit, unable to Ascend, and forever wandering this world.

They have always been searching in the Mortal World for the Dao Fruit that can grant the Dao God Seat.

However, for tens of millions of years, there has never been a False God who succeeded in achieving a true God Seat!

And the most likely places for False Gods to exist are within those Forbidden Grounds!

Every time there is a dark turmoil, there are people who hunt those Immortal Saints.

Many suspect these hunters are False Gods!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be powerful enough to casually hunt Immortal Saints!

After all, this continent has not given birth to a God Realm Strong One for far too long; it certainly wouldn't be a God Realm Strong One who did it!

The annihilation of the Star Plucking Holy Land was merely the beginning.

Following the sealing of the Buddhist Sect in the Western Heaven Region and the emergence of the Daoist Sect, the subsequent emergence of powerful forces and races such as the Demonic Sect, Ghost Race, Yao Race, Divine Dynasty, and Ancient Race reignited the entire continent.

In an instant, the situation surged.

Everyone realized.

The Great Era is approaching!

…

Middle Ancient Region, Taichu Holy Land.

Since the Primal Beginning Holy Master returned from the Star Plucking Holy Land, he went to meet the Old Ancestors in the Forbidden Ground and told them what he had seen!

But he only received one reply.

“Wait for the opportunity; the true Great Era has not yet arrived!”

This left the Primal Beginning Holy Master puzzled!

At this moment.

Inside Qingyan Pavilion.

Mu Xianer's face was filled with worry, her eyes hiding deep concern.

“Father, Great Ancestor is probably not doing well!”

Since she returned from the Star Plucking Holy Land, she discovered that her Great Ancestor seemed to have reached the stage of a flickering lamp, her Qi fluctuating, awake for less than two hours a day, and the rest of the time in a deep sleep!

If a solution isn't found soon, she might completely pass away in at most ten days!

“Xian'er, I know, but we truly are powerless now…”

The Primal Beginning Holy Master's face was bitter; his mood was also very bad. The current situation in the world was changing rapidly, the Old Ancestors only told them to wait for the opportunity, and now the Great Ancestor's situation weighed heavily on his mind. All of this made him feel a deep pressure!

Furthermore.

Last time, at the Star Plucking Holy Land, that fellow promised him Undying Holy Medicine, but in the end, he ran off alone!

“Father, didn't Young Master promise us Undying Holy Medicine? Why don't you let me go find him…”

“Besides, hasn't it been investigated? That young man is from Immortal Seeking Sect, and Young Master seems to have some connection with him, very likely also from Immortal Seeking Sect. As long as we go to Immortal Seeking Sect to ask him for the Undying Holy Medicine, everything will be resolved!”

“I just don't understand, why have you been against me going to find Young Master ever since you returned from the back mountain Forbidden Ground?”

Mu Xianer was very confused. She simply wanted to go retrieve the Undying Holy Medicine that Young Master had promised, so why did her father always obstruct her in every way and not let her go!

Her face still held stubbornness; she didn't want to give up. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she had to try.

“Xian'er, I…”

The Primal Beginning Holy Master could only force a bitter smile.

He didn't want to be like this either, but an Old Ancestor in the Sect was skilled in divination and said that they had entangled with a great terror this time, and there would be a calamity.

Especially his daughter, Mu Xianer, the Old Ancestor said she would face nine deaths and one life. To avoid it, she could only stay within the Taichu Holy Land!

Originally, he could have gone to that person to ask for the Undying Holy Medicine, but he was also stopped by that Old Ancestor, who said the Karma was too great, and their Taichu Holy Land probably couldn't bear it!

Thinking of that person blasting an Immortal Saint with one punch, his heart trembled. It was better to avoid such a figure!

Therefore, he dispelled the idea.

Perhaps this was the Great Ancestor's fate!

“Father, what exactly are you afraid of?”

Mu Xianer could feel the worry in her father's eyes, even a sense of fear!

Especially these past two days, he would come to find her from time to time, repeatedly warning her not to go out!

This behavior was even abnormal, as it had never happened before!

“No, nothing. Anyway, this matter ends here. Just stay at home obediently during this time!”

The Primal Beginning Holy Master didn't dare to stay there any longer, fearing exposure, fearing that his daughter would guess!

Rather than letting her fall into danger, it was better to let her suffer for a while!

Watching her father leave in a hurry, Mu Xianer looked at the gradually disappearing back, a trace of sadness flashing across her face, and she murmured to herself.

“Father, what are you hiding from me…?”

…

Taichu Holy Land, a certain tranquil place.

After coming out of the back mountain Forbidden Ground, Mu Xianer arrived here somewhat dejectedly.

She stood beneath a pavilion, looking up at the three large characters carved above the pavilion's entrance.

“Mingxin Pavilion”

In a daze, she hesitated whether to go in, lingering indecisively.

“Xian'er? Since you're here, come in!”

A melodious voice came from within the pavilion, greatly easing Mu Xianer's mind.

She bit her lip, took a deep breath, and then stepped into the pavilion…

“Aunt…”

Mu Xianer entered the pavilion and saw a purple-clad woman sitting cross-legged on a futon, meditating calmly. She softly called out.

Mu Xianer's appearance was somewhat similar to the woman's, but their temperaments were completely opposite. The woman gave off a feeling of being ethereal and detached, as if she had no worldly desires.

The purple-clad woman moved her finger slightly, and a futon landed beside her.

“Sit down and calm your mind!”

She motioned for Mu Xianer to sit on the futon beside her.

Inside the pavilion, there was not much decoration: a bed, two futons, and an incense burner!

Mu Xianer hummed in acknowledgment and sat on the futon.

From the incense burner came a soothing scent.

Calming Grass.

Mu Xianer often came here, so she knew very well what was burning in the incense burner.

Calming Grass, an ordinary Spiritual Plant, its only purpose was to calm one's mind!

After a long while, Mu Xianer's inner restlessness greatly diminished. She turned her gaze to the side, her eyes slightly shifting.

The aunt before her was the previous Saintess of the Taichu Holy Land, named Mu Wanjun.

Back then, she was graceful and immensely talented, one of the most powerful Prodigies of her generation.

However, for some unknown reason, over a hundred years ago, her Dao Heart suddenly shattered, and she returned to the Holy Land, confining herself to this small Mingxin Pavilion, from then on, asking nothing of the world.

She had stayed there for one hundred and eighty years, unmoved by anyone's pleas. No one knew what truly happened to her back then, and she never mentioned it!

Some said that her Dao Heart shattered because she was defeated by the Ziwei Holy Land Saintess while competing for a treasure and couldn't accept it.

But Mu Xianer knew this wasn't true, because her aunt had once told her that besides that person, no one among her peers could defeat her!

As for who that person in her aunt's words was, Mu Xianer didn't know!

However, she did know one thing that might be related to this matter.

Back then, her aunt seemed to have had a marriage engagement with a Prodigy from a small Sect.

It was said that the Prodigy from that small Sect also had marriage engagements with many major forces back then, but later, for some unknown reason, all the forces went to break off their engagements.

But…

Thinking of this, her eyes flickered.

She knew that her aunt also seemed to have gone back then, but it was said that she didn't go to break off the engagement, and it was after that trip that her Dao Heart shattered!

It seems that Sect was called… Immortal Seeking Sect!

Immortal Seeking Sect!!

Suddenly, Mu Xianer's pupils involuntarily constricted, as if she had thought of something.

Immortal Seeking Sect, isn't that the Sect where Ye Fojian is?

And Young Master…
