The plan of the Shangqing Patriarch

“Although paper cannot wrap fire, this matter will be exposed sooner or later.”

In the Immortal Palace, Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan instructed Yu Weichen: “But the later the time, the more time Zhong Qing will have to be safe.”

“So before that, try to conceal the fact that Zhong Qing is a Human Race Immortal Seed as much as possible.”

After Yu Weichen took his leave, the vast hall was once again left with only Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan.

Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan watched Yu Weichen leave, pondered for a moment, then waved her sleeve.

A light screen appeared before her.

On the light screen, a figure gradually emerged.

If Zhong Qing were here, he would immediately recognize that the figure on the light screen was Hong Yucheng, the Shangqing Ancestor of the Shangqing Immortal Sect, who had fought him with an Incarnation in the Second Heaven previously.

“Immortal Lord, why have you summoned your subordinate?”

The Shangqing Ancestor, who was originally arrogant and looked down on everything, appeared very respectful in front of Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan.

Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan’s majestic gaze penetrated the light screen and fell upon Hong Yucheng.

“Hong Yucheng, Heaven Protector Yu just brought a New True Immortal of the Human Race from the Lower Realm, named Zhong Qing. Do you know him?”

“I heard that there were some frictions between you two, is that true?”

Hong Yucheng’s gaze narrowed, and after a moment of pause, he spoke: “Replying to Immortal Lord, that is indeed true.”

“That Zhong Qing destroyed a lineage of my Shangqing Sect in the Second Heaven of the Lower Realm, and also damaged the Shangqing Cave Heaven, one of the four great Cave Heavens that my colleagues helped me refine to suppress the Luck of the Second Heaven…”

A moment later, Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan slowly spoke.

“I already know about the matters between you.”

“Right or wrong aside, it’s actually just a small matter.”

“The Four Great Cave Heavens are Great Grade Immortal Artifacts, suppressing the Luck of the Second Heaven. As long as the damage is not too severe, they can self-repair.”

“Besides that, other matters are not deep-seated grudges.”

“Zhong Qing is a junior, he just ascended to True Immortal, he is young and impetuous, so it’s normal for him to be a bit impulsive.”

“Yucheng, as an Immortal Alliance Heaven Protector and a Human Race Senior, you should not bicker with a junior.”

“Presumably, you already know that Zhong Qing is an Immortal Seed who has appeared again in the Human Race after millions of years. He has extraordinary talent and boundless prospects.”

“Now that our Human Race is declining, Zhong Qing can be said to be the future of the Human Race.”

“I hope you consider the bigger picture and put this matter aside for now.”

Hong Yucheng’s expression was calm, showing no emotion, and he nodded very naturally.

“What Immortal Lord says is true.”

“Your subordinate naturally understands such principles.”

“It’s just a trivial matter, why bother Immortal Lord to inquire?”

“Even if Immortal Lord didn’t say anything, your subordinate never took this small matter to heart.”

“Since Zhong Qing has already joined the Immortal Alliance, from now on he will be a Human Race colleague of the Immortal Alliance. Your subordinate will naturally not lose sight of the bigger picture for a small matter.”

As he spoke, his expression remained normal, without any hint of reluctance, as if he truly thought so.

Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan gazed at Hong Yucheng for a moment before speaking.

“Yucheng, it’s naturally for the best that you can consider the bigger picture.”

“This Immortal Lord also knows that Zhong Qing was at fault first in this matter.”

“As compensation, this Immortal Lord will use my private quota to increase your resources in the Immortal Alliance by 20% for the next ten thousand years.”

Hong Yucheng’s body trembled, a hint of joy seemed to flash in his eyes, and he cupped his hand towards Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan.

“How dare I trouble Immortal Lord with such concern, your subordinate is deeply grateful.”

Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan nodded slightly: “It’s good that you can understand.”

She paused, then spoke: “You must know Zhong Qing’s importance to our Immortal Alliance Human Race now.”

“No matter what, since he has already joined the Immortal Alliance, this Immortal Lord will protect him, no matter the cost. If anyone wants to harm him, this Immortal Lord will not tolerate it.”

Hong Yucheng quickly bowed his head and said: “Yes, Immortal Lord, your subordinate understands.”

Only after the light screen disappeared did Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan let out a sigh of relief.

It was only then that the majestic Aura that this Human Race Immortal Lord carried at all times finally disappeared.

In its place was a hint of emotion, a hint of loss, a hint of melancholy, and even a hint of fragility.

Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan gazed at the Void Realm in front of her, muttering to herself: “I hope this time, it can truly bring a turning point for the Human Race.”

Her gaze seemed to penetrate through time, seeing a certain figure.

“Teacher… I gave your Grand Yang Divine Seal to that young man. I hope your spirit in heaven can protect him and help him grow up safely.”

“This way, the burden on me can be lightened a little…”

Meanwhile, to the west of Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Palace, in another grander and more magnificent Immortal Palace.

Shangqing Ancestor Hong Yucheng watched the light screen in front of him disappear, slowly straightened his body, and his expression turned gloomy.

There was also a hint of coldness in his eyes.

A moment later, this coldness appeared on his face, turning into a sneer.

“What a Zhong Qing.”

“To be so highly regarded by Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan.”

“An Immortal Seed? Truly extraordinary.”

“But this may not be a good thing.”

“The current Immortal Alliance is not controlled by the Human Race.”

As his voice fell, he raised a hand, and another light projection rose in front of him. After a moment, it gradually solidified, turning into a tall figure emitting an incredibly powerful Aura, with a hint of grandeur.

Hong Yucheng also lowered his head accordingly.

“Immortal Lord.”

The shadow slowly opened its eyes, its eyes flashing with golden light, just like the pattern on its forehead that emitted the same light.

The shadow’s gaze fell on Hong Yucheng, and he said indifferently.

“Hong Yucheng, you are a Heaven Protector of the Human Race, yet you come to me, what is the matter?”

Hong Yucheng lowered his head and said in a deep voice: “Immortal Lord, a major event happened within the Immortal Alliance today, does Immortal Lord know?”

The shadow’s gaze moved slightly, and he narrowed his eyes.

“What do you mean, what major event in the Immortal Alliance could I not know about?”

A slight curve appeared at the corner of Hong Yucheng’s mouth.

“For example, the Human Race has produced an Immortal Seed who has already ascended to True Immortal.”

The next moment, the shadow trembled violently, and an immeasurably terrifying Aura suddenly flowed out.

“What did you say?”

…

At the same time, to the west of Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Palace.

In another even larger and more magnificent Immortal Palace.

Zhong Qing was enjoying exploring this Immortal Palace, which had just become his, with great interest.

Qilin Xiao Hei and Xiao Ga, as well as Chicken One, Chicken Two, and the others, had all been released by him.

They were now running around excitedly in the Cave Heaven within the Immortal Palace like a bunch of wild children.

And Lin Feng, Du Hao, and the other Disciples were also exploring the Cave Heaven with great interest, each finding a suitable Cultivation Dao for themselves.

Cultivating here was much better than in the Small World.

“Hahaha, Little Friend Zhong, how do you feel about this Immortal Palace gifted by Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan?”

Zhong Qing heard the laughter and looked back.

He saw Yu Weichen approaching on a cloud, with a smile on his face.

“Brother Yu, you’ve arrived?”
