Qiankun Wheel

“This…”

Zhong Qing stroked his chin, “Even if I’m an Immortal Seed, the Celestial Race also has Immortal Seeds, but I didn’t provoke him, so what does the Celestial Race’s Immortal Seed have to do with me?”

“Could it be that the relationship between the Celestial Race and the Human Race has deteriorated to the point where even the appearance of an Immortal Seed in the Human Race must be suppressed?”

Yu Weichen smiled bitterly, “That’s not it. Although the Celestial Race is arrogant and looks down on the Human Race, it wouldn’t be just for that reason.”

“After all, they look down on the Human Race. If they deliberately suppressed an Immortal Seed, wouldn’t that be admitting that the Human Race’s Immortal Seed is not weaker than theirs?”

“There’s an actual conflict of interest here.”

As soon as Zhong Qing heard ‘interest,’ he became energetic, “Oh? What’s the situation?”

Yu Weichen just opened his mouth and said, “I mentioned before that the current Ninth Heaven is the highest achievement of the entire Myriad Races Immortal Dao back then.”

“It is itself a supreme Immortal Artifact, and it is also the strongest among the nine supreme Immortal Artifacts, named Qiankun Wheel. It suppresses the space-time and Luck of the entire Nine Heavens.”

“The space within the Qiankun Wheel is different from any of the other Eight Heavens below.”

“Within it, space-time transforms, endlessly, and it is divided into many regions, with countless methods left by predecessors. Only by deciphering all of them can the true core of the Qiankun Wheel be revealed. Only then can one find the way to leave the Nine Heavens through the core.”

Zhong Qing nodded and said, “What does this have to do with the so-called conflict of interest?”

“Of course, it’s related.” Yu Weichen smiled bitterly, “It’s laughable, as you said, the current Immortal Alliance has declined unknown amounts compared to the Ancient Immortal Dao era.”

“The various Formation Restrictions and methods left by the ancient mighty cultivators within the Qiankun Wheel are all valuable Treasure Troves for the current Immortal Alliance.”

“Understood.” Zhong Qing stroked his chin and said, “Technological progress relies on archaeology, right?”

“Uh…” Although Yu Weichen didn’t understand what Zhong Qing was saying, he generally understood the meaning, nodded, and said, “Yes, and not just that.”

“Back then, in order to create the Nine Heavens and the Qiankun Wheel, many True Immortals even perished within it, leaving countless legacies.”

“It can be said that this Heaven, the Qiankun Wheel, is the greatest Treasure Trove for the current Myriad Races.”

“And Immortal Seeds have extremely high resistance to many environments within the Qiankun Wheel. In fact, many places can only be entered by Immortal Seeds.”

“Therefore, an Immortal Seed like Little Friend Zhong is a tangible benefit for the Immortal Alliance.”

“Moreover, it will create competition with Immortal Seeds of other races.”

Yu Weichen sighed softly, “So, if the Celestial Race knows of your existence, they will inevitably try to suppress you.”

“Little Friend Zhong, you must be careful in the future and not mention this to outsiders.”

Zhong Qing nodded, “Brother Yu, rest assured, I understand.”

He didn’t take the Celestial Race’s suppression too seriously.

But he wasn’t an Immortal Seed to begin with, so he naturally had even less interest in proclaiming himself as one to others.

However, if that Celestial Race truly came looking for trouble, the outcome would be hard to say.

Speaking of the Celestial Race, Zhong Qing thought of Wei Yitian from before.

His gaze shifted, and Zhong Qing asked, “Brother Yu, who was that troublemaking gatekeeper we encountered before, and where does he live?”

Yu Weichen was stunned for a long while before he understood that the “troublemaking gatekeeper” Zhong Qing referred to was Wei Yitian, the Immortal General guarding the Immortal Gate.

Calling the Heaven Protector Divine General guarding the Immortal Gate a gatekeeper, probably only Zhong Qing could say such a thing.

Yu Weichen’s mouth twitched a few times, and he said, “That is Wei Yitian, the Heaven Protector Divine General of the Celestial Race.”

“His guarding of the Immortal Gate, overseeing all who pass through, shows the power of the Celestial Race in the Immortal Alliance today.”

“Although his strength is not among the top-ranked of the thirty-six Heaven Protectors, he is by no means weak. Even I wouldn’t dare say I’m guaranteed to win against him.”

“This person is arrogant and acts erratically, but as a confidant of the Tian Yuan Immortal Lord, his status and power are extremely high. Even other Heaven Protectors rarely dare to provoke him.”

“Little Friend Zhong, why are you asking about his residence?”

“I know he made things difficult for you before, and you might be displeased, but he is, after all, a capable general of the Celestial Race’s Immortal Lord. It’s best not to provoke him.”

Yu Weichen advised, “Little Friend Zhong, with your talent, you will eventually become a Yuan Lord Rank expert. At that time, even an Immortal Lord wouldn’t dare to do anything to you.”

“There’s no need to rush and bother with such a person.”

Zhong Qing smiled faintly and said, “I remember. Brother Yu, don’t worry, I don’t plan to bother with him. I just want to know where he lives, to keep it in mind, so I can avoid him in the future.”

Yu Weichen looked at Zhong Qing with a hint of suspicion and said, “If that’s the case, then good. He is the Tian Yuan Immortal Lord’s man, so he naturally lives in the Tian Yuan Immortal Region, in the Immortal Palace behind the Tian Yuan Immortal Palace. Except when he’s guarding the Immortal Gate, you won’t encounter him, so there’s no need to worry.”

Zhong Qing nodded, “I understand. Thank you, Brother Yu.”

Seeing Zhong Qing’s expression as usual and not looking abnormal, Yu Weichen finally felt a little relieved and said, “Since that’s the case, Little Friend Zhong, I will first take you around the various places in the Immortal Alliance to familiarize yourself.”

Zhong Qing smiled, “That’s exactly what I intended.”

The two then left the Immortal Palace.

Along the way, Yu Weichen led Zhong Qing on a tour of the Langhuan Immortal District, pointing out his own residence and those of several famous Human Race experts of the Immortal Alliance. Afterward, he took Zhong Qing to the Central Immortal Region.

When they met others, Yu Weichen introduced Zhong Qing as a New True Immortal from the Lower Realm’s Second Heaven, never mentioning the word ‘Immortal Seed.’

Zhong Qing himself, of course, would never mention it.

During this time, Yu Weichen also introduced many True Immortal experts to Zhong Qing. Although Zhong Qing didn’t remember many of them, most of the Human Race True Immortals he met were quite amiable at first glance.

Upon hearing that Zhong Qing was a New True Immortal, they all expressed their welcome, and some even enthusiastically presented him with meeting gifts, which Zhong Qing remembered.

The people in this Immortal Alliance were much more generous than the Lord of the Abyss; they knew to give gifts without him even having to ask. He would have to mention this to the Lord of the Abyss later, that this “beloved friend” should learn from them.

Of course, this was also reasonable. Everyone was an Immortal Rank figure. Having Cultivated to this Realm, they were all in the Immortal Alliance, constantly seeing each other. As long as there were no conflicts of interest, no one would bother to cause trouble for no reason.

Being polite wouldn’t cause any loss, and perhaps they could even form friendships and help each other in the future. Why not?

All in all, Zhong Qing had a very pleasant trip to the Immortal Alliance today.

After Yu Weichen escorted Zhong Qing back to the Immortal Palace, he didn’t forget to additionally admonish Zhong Qing not to trouble Wei Yitian.

Zhong Qing readily agreed, and after seeing Yu Weichen out of the Immortal Palace—he immediately turned and went to the Tian Yuan Immortal Region.
