Give him time to grow!

Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord ultimately accepted the Immortal Artifact.

However, as a return gift, she directly bestowed upon Zhong Qing the best-located Immortal Palace in the Langhuan Immortal District.

The Immortal Palaces within the Immortal Alliance were not casually built; after all, they were residences for True Immortals and had to be constructed from Materials of at least the Half-Immortal level, with multiple Formation Restrictions laid out by Immortal Formation Masters, capable of withstanding the power of True Immortals to a certain extent.

Inside, they were further expanded using spatial Formations; an Immortal Palace that outwardly appeared to be only tens of miles wide actually contained tens of thousands of miles of space, with Spiritual Veins embedded to transform the internal environment, at an unimaginably high cost.

It could be said that every Immortal Palace was a Small World.

The Immortal Palace given to Zhong Qing was a hundred miles vast on the outside alone, with mountains, rivers, and peaks rising and falling within, spanning a massive hundred thousand miles, and the Spiritual Qi concentration was so high that it had even given birth to Immortal Qi.

Compared to it, the Nether Emperor's Dao field in the Lower Realm back then was like a beggar's den.

Its location was in the center of the Langhuan Immortal District, close to Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Palace, and directly connected to the Central Immortal Region by a Star Gate.

It could be said that the value of this Immortal Palace might even be comparable to some Immortal Artifacts.

Besides this, Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord also directly dispatched over a thousand immortal maids and palace servants of captivating beauty to serve in Zhong Qing Immortal Palace.

Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord sent a few palace maids to lead Zhong Qing to the Immortal Palace, while Yu Weichen remained behind.

“Little Friend Zhong, you should go and see the Immortal Palace the Immortal Lord gave you first. This Lord still has some matters to report to the Immortal Lord. Once these matters are handled, I will come find you and also help you familiarize yourself with the Immortal Alliance, inside and out.”

Zhong Qing smiled slightly and nodded: “Alright, then I will await Brother Yu.”

After Zhong Qing left, Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord and Yu Weichen also retracted their gazes as they watched his retreating figure.

“After so many years, the Human Race finally has another Immortal Seed.”

Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord sighed softly: “Then, let’s discuss the matter of this Immortal Seed.”

“Yes, Immortal Lord.”

Yu Weichen nodded and then recounted everything that happened after he went to the Lower Realm and met Zhong Qing, as well as the events encountered on their journey to the Upper Realm.

As Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord listened to Yu Weichen’s narration, a hint of surprise occasionally flashed in her eyes.

A moment later, Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord’s gaze shifted slightly.

“Is what you said true?”

Yu Weichen nodded: “Naturally, it was all witnessed by this Lord personally.”

After pondering for a moment, Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord slowly spoke.

“There’s no need to worry about Hong Yucheng. This Immortal Lord will speak with him personally. Although this person has a somewhat harsh personality, he is, after all, a True Immortal of our Human Race and should be able to see the bigger picture.”

“However, what you said about Zhong Qing having a pure-blooded Qilin by his side, which Lin Chi of the Qilin Clan calls a Holy Clan, is quite intriguing.”

Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord’s eyes flickered, seemingly deep in thought.

“It is said that the first Qilin to be born in the world was a black Qilin and a golden Qilin. The black Qilin was called the Profound Yin Qilin, and the golden Qilin was called the Holy Yang Qilin.”

“Qilins possessing the Bloodline of these two Qilin ancestors are called Holy Blood Qilin, known as the two great Holy Seeds within the Qilin Clan.”

“But those are matters far more ancient than the ancient times. Nowadays, these two great Holy Seeds are almost extinct, with only a very small number of blood descendants remaining.”

“And Xuan Lin Immortal Lord’s True God is a Profound Yin Holy Blood Qilin.”

“As you said, the Qilin Zhong Qing brought has an aura similar to Xuan Lin Immortal Lord, so it is likely of the same clan.”

“If that is the case, no wonder Lin Chi was so excited.”

“I fear he will report to Xuan Lin later…”

Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord mused: “It’s not necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps we can use this opportunity to draw closer to the Qilin Clan.”

“But no matter what, this young True Immortal seems to be more than just an Immortal Seed.”

“To have such combat power right after ascending to True Immortal, to be able to casually produce Immortal Artifacts, and to have a Holy Blood Qilin by his side… his origin is likely extraordinary.”

“Moreover, the most important point, as you said, when you inquired in the Second Heaven, there were no previous records of this person, nor did he originate from an Immortal Sect.”

“Which means…” Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord paused, then continued: “He very likely did not originate from the Second Heaven, but from the First Heaven!”

Although he had already considered this possibility, Yu Weichen was still uncontrollably shocked when Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord spoke it aloud.

“But it is well known that the First Heaven is contaminated by a curse, and no one, no matter who, can escape it.”

“Even if he is an Immortal Seed, if he were tainted by the curse, it would be impossible for him to Breakthrough to True Immortal.”

Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord nodded: “That is true, but it also depends on the person.”

“Do you believe that if he originated from the Second Heaven, it could explain his many extraordinary qualities?”

Yu Weichen was momentarily speechless, then shook his head.

As an Old Ancestor of one of the Four Great Immortal Sects, he was well aware of the Second Heaven’s full capabilities.

Zhong Qing himself might be exceptionally gifted, but where in the Second Heaven would one find a pure-blooded Qilin, or the resources to casually produce Immortal Artifacts?

“Then, Immortal Lord, do you mean… could it be that…”

Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord’s eyes flickered: “Indeed, within the Nine Heavens, an astonishingly talented Immortal Seed who achieves True Immortal status would not appear without reason.”

“The Second Heaven does not have such conditions, but the First Heaven does.”

“The First Heaven is the oldest and the earliest realm into which all races migrated within the Nine Heavens. Even this Immortal Lord cannot claim to know all the secrets that remain there.”

“In this Immortal Lord’s view, Zhong Qing is very likely cultivated by those ancient existences in the First Heaven.”

“If that is the case, his successful Breakthrough to True Immortal indicates that those old fellows have found some way to resolve or circumvent the curse.”

Hearing this, Yu Weichen’s eyes also shook violently: “If that’s true, it would be extraordinary.”

The First Heaven, as the largest and most populous layer within the entire Nine Heavens, was almost rendered useless due to the curse.

Even True Immortals feared the curse like a tiger, to the extent that the Immortal Alliance had to completely seal off the First Heaven, almost equivalent to abandoning it.

Many old monsters from the Immortal Alliance’s early days were also forced to seal themselves in the First Heaven due to the curse.

If there truly was a way to resolve the curse, then the entire Nine Heavens would likely experience a massive upheaval.

Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord gently shook her head and said: “It’s probably not that simple. Zhong Qing might be an exception; further observation is needed.”

“But whether he came from the First Heaven or not, he is now our hope, the Human Race’s only Immortal Seed.”

“He must be cultivated with utmost priority, and we must never let him perish prematurely like that person before.”

“This Immortal Lord will bear the pressure from the Celestial Race.”

“Now that he has just entered the Immortal Alliance, Heaven Protector Yu, you must look after him diligently.”

“No matter the cost, we must give him time to grow.”

Yu Weichen nodded and said: “The Immortal Lord is right. This Lord will not shirk this duty.”
