News from the Upper Realm

Xu Qianfeng's eyelids twitched at these words.

This Senior Zhong Qing looks young and amiable, but isn't his Killing Intent a bit too heavy?

The Shangqing Immortal Sect hasn't been destroyed yet, and he's already thinking about slaughtering their True Immortal Ancestor?

How much hatred is there?

If it weren't for the methods the other party had displayed before, Xu Qianfeng would only think that person had water in his brain if someone else had said this.

But for these words to come from Zhong Qing's mouth, it was a bit frightening.

To be honest, although he was displeased with the Shangqing Immortal Sect, he couldn't even imagine what kind of storm the downfall of one of the Four Great Immortal Sects would stir up in the Second Heaven.

Xu Qianfeng was about to continue trying to persuade him.

He saw Zhong Qing, as if having made up his mind, stand up directly.

"There's no time like the present, let's make it today. Come, disciple, how do we get to Shangqing Cave Heaven? Lead the way for your master."

As soon as his voice fell, Zhong Qing's figure flickered and he disappeared from the spot, taking Lin Feng and Du Hao, as well as the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor, and even Xu Songnian by Xu Qianfeng's side, with him.

Only Xu Qianfeng was left stunned on the spot for a long while before he reacted, his expression instantly changing drastically.

Without even thinking, he knew that Zhong Qing must have gone to the Shangqing Immortal Sect.

This trip was no small matter.

Regardless of the outcome, a True Immortal Rank battle would certainly cause a huge stir in the Second Heaven.

Moreover, the Yuhua Immortal Sect was already involved in this matter. If it truly led to the Shangqing Immortal Sect's True Immortal Ancestor descending to the Lower Realm, they would not be able to escape responsibility.

After much thought, Xu Qianfeng gritted his teeth and turned to walk into the main hall.

In the deepest part of Yuhua Cave Heaven, within a Secret Realm that only the Sect Master was qualified to enter.

A green jade altar, entwined with nine Dragons, could be clearly seen.

Xu Qianfeng came before the altar, formed hand seals, and transformed them into profound and unfathomable imprints containing the aura of the Dao, which he struck into the altar. The patterns covering it gradually lit up.

At the same time, the nine jade Dragons seemed to come alive, coiling around the altar and gradually rising, intertwining in the shape of a lotus platform, their Dragon mouths open, spitting out streams of radiant light.

These nine streams of light merged together, finally forming a shadow.

Although only a vague human figure could be discerned, the boundless and terrifying aura emanating from it inspired awe in anyone who beheld it, making them involuntarily want to prostrate themselves in praise.

"Is it a disciple from the Lower Realm calling upon this humble self?"

This voice, at first listen, was indistinguishable by gender or age, containing a peculiar, extraordinary and transcendent rhythm.

Xu Qianfeng's body trembled, and he immediately knelt to the ground, performing a grand bow.

"Xu Qianfeng, the twelfth generation Sect Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, respectfully greets the Old Ancestor, the Holy Venerable!"

The blurry figure nodded slightly: "What is the matter that you call upon this humble self? If this humble self remembers correctly, it has not been a million years since you ascended to the position of the twelfth generation Sect Master, so it should be far from the time for abdication and succession."

"Has something happened in the First Heaven?"

Xu Qianfeng quickly said: "Reporting to Old Ancestor, it is not about the First Heaven, but matters of our Second Heaven."

"The other day..."

He narrated everything about Zhong Qing.

After listening, the blurry figure remained silent for a moment before finally speaking.

"You just said that the cultivation aura displayed by that young man was only at the Great Emperor Rank. Is that true?"

Xu Qianfeng was startled, and nodded: "How would I dare deceive the Old Ancestor?"

The moment his voice fell, the blurry figure's body trembled.

The next moment, the figure suddenly rippled like water, and was on the verge of disappearing.

Xu Qianfeng was shocked. Why was this Old Ancestor leaving after only a few words?

Even if he didn't care about the matters of the Second Heaven, he should at least give a statement, right?

But the next moment, the words the figure left behind before completely disappearing left Xu Qianfeng dumbfounded.

"This humble self will descend to the Lower Realm immediately. You are to immediately take people to Shangqing Cave Heaven. You may use the power of the Yuhua Immortal Artifact. You must not let anything happen to that person!"

As the words fell, a ray of light containing boundless profound aura suddenly shot out from the altar and entered Xu Qianfeng's body.

Xu Qianfeng's body trembled: "This is... Immortal Qi?"

This was not the Immortal Qi possessed by Pseudo-Immortals, but true True Immortal Qi, sublimated from the power of the Dao Fruit.

Connecting this to the Old Ancestor's words before he disappeared, Xu Qianfeng understood.

The reason why they would suffer backlash when using the power of the Cave Heaven Immortal Artifact was precisely because they themselves were Pseudo-Immortals, without True Immortal Qi, and naturally found it difficult to bear the burden of a Great Rank Immortal Artifact's power entering their bodies.

Now with this Immortal Qi entering his body, although he could not use it to enhance his own strength, he could use it to bear the power of the Cave Heaven.

Before this Immortal Qi disappeared, he could use the power of the Yuhua Cave Heaven without limitation.

As he understood this, Xu Qianfeng was also shocked.

One must know that he had just connected to the True Immortal Ancestor of the Yuhua Immortal Sect in the Upper Realm through the altar. Who knows how many heavens separated them from the Second Heaven, and directly transmitting Immortal Qi across realms would undoubtedly consume a huge amount of energy.

And for the Old Ancestor to descend to the Lower Realm immediately, even at the cost of consuming energy to transmit Immortal Qi to Xu Qianfeng to use the power of the Cave Heaven to help Zhong Qing.

What was the identity of that Senior Zhong Qing, to make the Old Ancestor attach such importance to him?

One must know that the Upper Realm did not care about the Second Heaven. The Four Great Immortal Sects were said to be the Legacy of True Immortals from the Upper Realm, but in reality, they might not even contact them once in hundreds of thousands of years. Even if the Yuhua Immortal Sect was on the verge of destruction, the Old Ancestor probably wouldn't be in such a hurry.

"This matter is definitely no small matter."

Xu Qianfeng's expression was grave, and he hurriedly got up and left.

Meanwhile, the ripples in the Second Heaven had just begun to spread.

Although the people in Yuhua Cave Heaven would not spread the news, the battle at the Cave Heaven entrance earlier was earth-shattering, and the commotion could not be hidden at all.

Such intense direct confrontations between Immortal Sects were rarely seen in the Second Heaven even in a million years. How could the various major forces not be concerned?

Of course, the most concerned were naturally the other two Great Immortal Sects.

This was only natural; there were only Four Great Immortal Sects in total, and two of them were directly fighting, while they were still unaware. Who could sit still?

The Creation Immortal Sect and the Taiqing Immortal Sect immediately used all means to gather intelligence.

They soon received a piece of news that shocked them beyond measure.

Ling Tian, the Sect Master of the Shangqing Immortal Sect, led a group of Elders to personally attack Yuhua Cave Heaven, even deploying their sect's supreme treasure, the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Void Grand Formation.

And the final result was that the Shangqing Immortal Sect suffered heavy losses, with several Elders reportedly dying, and Sect Master Ling Tian fleeing back to Shangqing Cave Heaven.

It was said that a mysterious powerhouse not from the Yuhua Immortal Sect had intervened, leading to this outcome.

Before they could recover from the shock of this news.

Another bombshell piece of news arrived.

Just now, Xu Qianfeng, the Sect Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, led a full ten Elders and dozens of Protector powerhouses from within his sect, almost all of their elite, out of Yuhua Cave Heaven.

Even the famous Yuhua Immortal Boat was dispatched, carrying the group of powerhouses, heading directly towards Shangqing Cave Heaven!
