40: Chapter 40 The Pragmatist Immortal Ancestor

Cao Yang and the others returned to the small courtyard. They were all a bit nervous; after all, an Immortal who had not appeared for a thousand years had actually appeared in Nebula City, which made them quite tense.

Soon, Sect Master Mo Nantian also returned. Sect Master Mo Nantian discussed with several accompanying Elders for a while, and most of the Elders felt that the Central Region was currently unsafe and they should hurry back to the Northern Region.

The Sect Master also felt they should return to the Northern Region first, and he was also a bit uneasy about the Moyang Sword Sect stealing the spotlight at the competition.

Soon, the Sect Master bade farewell to the reception Elder of the Xingyun Sect, greeted the Sect Masters of the other two Sects from the Northern Region, and without waiting for them, led the people of the Moyang Sword Sect out of the Xingyun Sect. Once they were out of the Xingyun Sect, everyone boarded the flying ship and sailed in the direction they had come from.

Cao Yang and several Senior Sisters stood at the bow of the ship. Cao Yang had not expected that a trace of Immortal Qi his maid left at the Sima Family would cause such a huge reaction, but it did not matter; it was all a trivial matter.

Cao Yang had secretly sent a voice transmission to Hong Si to protect Liu Yiran. As long as the people he cared about were fine, the rest had nothing to do with him.

Senior Sister Mu Wanying saw that Cao Yang had been behaving very calmly, so she asked, "Junior Brother, who do you think the Immortal who appeared in Nebula City could be?"

Cao Yang replied, "Could it be the Yao Race? After all, the Human Immortal of the Human Race should be among the three major forces; if they wanted to do something, they should not need to do it themselves."

"But why would the Yao Race want to destroy the Sima Family? What does the Sima Family have that is worth the Yao Race going to the extent of dispatching a Yao Immortal to destroy them?" Mu Wanying continued.

In fact, the Senior Sister also could not understand why an Immortal would make a move against the Sima Family, but they had confirmed one thing, and that was that real Immortals existed in this Tianxuan Realm.

While Cao Yang and his group were returning, most of the Sects in the Xingyun Sect had already left.

But the high-level officials of the three major Sects had not left, and several important high-level figures had also rushed to the Xingyun Sect, including the Human Immortal Old Ancestor of the Falling Flower Valley and the Human Immortal Old Pavilion Revered Master of the Xianlin Pavilion.

At this moment, deep within the main Peak of the Xingyun Sect, Nebula Peak, three figures who looked just like Mortals sat facing each other, sitting cross-legged in the high sky. Their aura was restrained, as if they had merged with the surrounding world.

The Old Valley Revered Master of the Falling Flower Valley, Liu Yemei, frowned slightly and asked suspiciously, "Fellow Daoist Xingguang, are you sure it was not that old fellow from the Yao Race who left the Immortal power?" Her gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, staring tightly at Xing Guangming opposite her.

Xing Guangming's expression was grave as he shook his head and said, "Two Fellow Daoists, if it were that old thing from the Yao Race, my Yao-detecting instrument would not have had no reaction. As long as they enter the hundred-mile radius of my Xingyun Sect, you all know that Yao Race members below the Profound Immortal Realm have nowhere to hide." His tone was firm, clearly full of confidence in his Magic Treasure.

Qiu He's voice sounded ethereal, carrying a trace of worry, "Looking at it this way, this mysterious Immortal Realm powerhouse is likely a hidden old monster. But did the envoy from the Immortal Realm not say last time that apart from the four of us, there were no other Immortal Realm powerhouses in this Realm?" His eyes flickered, seemingly thinking about something.

The three fell into silence, and the atmosphere became unusually heavy. They knew deeply that the envoy from the Immortal Realm had the Realm of a True Immortal. If even the envoy had not noticed the other party's existence, then the other party's cultivation was at least at the True Immortal level.

Such strength made them feel unprecedented pressure.

"Two Fellow Daoists, in recent years, the Sects in the Immortal Realm have not had any tasks in the Tianxuan Realm. I think as long as the other party does not slaughter the Human Race on a large scale and does not become our enemy, we should just leave it alone," the three were deep in thought, and Xing Guangming was the first to speak.

"We also think that what you say, Fellow Daoist, makes sense," the Old Ancestor of the Falling Flower Valley and the Old Pavilion Revered Master of the Xianlin Pavilion looked at each other and said in unison.

Both of them were secretly glad that they had not tried to be brave, because they knew in their hearts that if they did not show weakness, their own lives might be hard to preserve. One had to know that the Immortal Sense of a True Immortal could cover the entire Tianxuan Realm, and their conversation at this moment might have already been heard by the other party. Thinking of this, a chill surged in both of their hearts.

Soon, the high-level officials of the three major forces received orders from their Old Ancestors, prohibiting them from investigating the matter of the Sima Family and prohibiting their Disciples from discussing it.

On the ship, Cao Yang thought to himself, "Three old things, you are still sensible, otherwise you would have had a hard time."

Withdrawing his Immortal Sense, Cao Yang also heard from the conversation of the three that the three major forces had backers in the Immortal Realm; of course, this might also be something the three said deliberately for him to hear.

But it did not matter, as long as they did not cause him trouble.

Soon, Cao Yang and the others returned to the Moyang Sword Sect in the Northern Region.

Except for Cao Yang, everyone finally felt relieved, feeling that it was better to stay in their own Sect; it was too dangerous outside.

Cao Yang gave the top-grade precious sword obtained from the competition to his Revered Master and returned to his Immortal Cave.

Cao Yang released Hu Shan Tutu and Hong from the Small World. Before Cao Yang went out last time, he had thrown Hong into the Small World. Originally, Hong was furious, but the scenery inside the Huangqing Small World was quite good, so Hong endured it.

To Cao Yang's surprise, in just over two days, Hu Shan Tutu had actually become best friends with Hong.

Cao Yang thought it was interesting; a fox and a sword spirit had actually become best friends.

Hong saw that Cao Yang's Realm had actually broken through to the True Immortal level, and she found it unbelievable. One had to know that without Medicinal Pills and miraculous medicines, wanting to break through from a Human Immortal to a True Immortal would take at least ten thousand years, and only those with Heaven-Defying Aptitude could possibly do it. Many Disciples could not break through to the True Immortal level even when their Lifespan was exhausted.

For someone to break through from a Mortal to a True Immortal in a few days, besides taking priceless Advanced Immortal Pills or receiving an empowerment from a great power, she could not think of anything else that could do it. But both of these had many drawbacks, and Disciples of major forces would not easily choose these two Breakthrough methods.

Perhaps the Cao Yang in front of her not only had a solid Foundation and a stable Realm, but also gave her the feeling that he was no weaker than the previous Young Lord.

Hong could only sigh in her heart that Cao Yang was also a Hong Si with great Luck, full of secrets.

Cao Yang pulled Hu Shan Tutu into his embrace, causing the beauty to let out a coquettish cry: "Young Master is hateful, bullying people as soon as we meet."

Although she said he was hateful, her fox tail revealed itself consciously.

Cao Yang touched her without hesitation and said to the beauty in his arms: "Tu Tu, do you want to achieve Immortal Ascension? I have an Immortal Pill here that can help you achieve Immortal Ascension on the spot. It is not a Human Immortal you will become, but an Earth Immortal, the kind without any side effects."

"Young Master, is that true? Does the Tianxuan Realm really have such Advanced Medicinal Pills?"

"I have not read much, Young Master, please do not lie to me."

One had to know that the Yao Immortal Hall Revered Master of the Ten Thousand Yao Palace guarded even an ordinary Immortal Pill like a treasure, unwilling to take it.

Let alone a Medicinal Pill that could make someone an Earth Immortal in one step, and without any side effects. To be honest, Hu Shan Tutu did not quite believe it. Even if the Young Master really had such a precious Immortal Pill, would he be willing to let her take it? She was just a maid the Young Master had already obtained, not worth the Young Master spending such a precious Immortal Pill on.

Looking at Hu Shan Tutu's slightly open little mouth and her incredulous expression.

Cao Yang paused and continued: "I have already said, you are not only my maid, but also my Dao Companion. No matter how precious the Immortal Pill is, it is not as precious as you. In my heart, you are the most important. In the future, we will reach the Peak together and accompany each other for a long time."

Saying this, he spent 10 check-in counts from the System Store to redeem a first-rotation golden pill, and a golden, egg-sized Immortal Pill appeared in Cao Yang's hand.

"Come, hurry and take this first-rotation golden pill. This ring can help you block the sensing of the Heavenly Tribulation in the Tianxuan Realm."

At the same time, he spent 5 check-in counts from the System space to redeem a blue ring for Hu Shan Tutu to wear. This ring was not only a storage Immortal ring, but could also block the Heavenly Tribulation of the Tianxuan Realm and the traction of the Immortal Realm.

Hu Shan Tutu looked at the blue ring on her finger, moved beyond words.

Suddenly, she hugged Cao Yang tightly, and tears fell uncontrollably.
