103: The Great Secret Realm of Nine Mysteries

Facing the Old Pavilion Master's fawning, the eighth-rank Puppet simply nodded indifferently.

The instructions its master gave it were merely to watch over this person, help collect Demon Crystals, and scout for information at the border; that was all.

"Venerable One, how about we set off in three days?"

While fawning, the Old Pavilion Master kept observing the Puppet's expression.

Of course, he did not know that this was merely Ye Ming's Puppet.

"Fine!" the Puppet said indifferently.

Its master had said that as long as they departed within five days, it would be fine!

Afterwards, the Old Pavilion Master followed the Puppet into the inn to stay, intending to set off for the border in three days.

On the other side.

Nine Profound Immortal Sect.

Ye Ming returned silently to his Immortal Mountain.

In the Immortal Palace, Ye Ming withdrew his Primordial Spirit that was in seclusion, and then he himself sat cross-legged.

He was in no rush to leave; there were still a few days left before the half-year mark, so he would just stay in seclusion for a few more days!

A few days later...

A surge of the power of Law spread from Daozi Immortal Mountain.

Not long after, a layer of black clouds formed over the sky of the Immortal Mountain.

In an instant, countless fist-sized water droplets fell from the black clouds, each containing the terrifying power of Law.

If not for the Formation on the Immortal Mountain, this rain could have smashed countless large craters into the entire mountain.

This was the scene after successfully mastering the Law of Water, and it was also something Ye Ming deliberately displayed; after all, in the eyes of others, he had been Cultivating the Law of Water for the past half year.

Meanwhile, Little White and the others, who were still eating barbecue on the mountaintop, were the first to notice the abnormality.

When the black clouds in the sky unleashed the power of Law, they were not alarmed but delighted instead.

"Master has succeeded!"

Little White stood up on its hind legs, looking up at the rain falling from the black clouds with great joy.

A Yao Beast beside it also remarked with great emotion: "Master is truly amazing; he has already mastered four Laws while only at the Void Refining stage!"

"Indeed, but we must Cultivate harder, otherwise we won't be able to keep up with Master's pace. Don't you agree, Sister White?" Another Yao Beast agreed, and as it spoke, it looked toward Little White.

"Let's go, let's go. Why are we still eating barbecue? No more eating; it's time for seclusion!"

Little White quickly reacted. After wolfing down the roasted meat on the grill, it rushed down the mountain, preparing to go into seclusion!

"Sister White, wait for me!"

Seeing Little White go into seclusion, Ye Linger immediately chased after it. She also wanted to catch up to Ye Ming's pace and clear away all obstacles for him, not wanting to be a useless pet.

The other Yao Beasts did not delay either. After tidying up their things, they all walked down the mountain to go into seclusion in the pavilions.

Ye Ming had set up a top-grade Spiritual Vein beneath their pavilions, so they wouldn't have to worry about insufficient Spiritual Qi while in seclusion.

Meanwhile.

Deep within the Immortal Sect, three Grand Elders also sensed the abnormality on Ye Ming's side.

"It seems the Daozi has succeeded!"

"The Daozi's mastery of this Law of Water is not low; it has already caught up to the other three Laws!"

"Such terrifying enlightenment talent hasn't appeared in our Immortal Sect for fifty thousand years!"

"Indeed, this talent is already comparable to that little girl from back then!"

The three Grand Elders all gazed with gratification toward where Ye Ming was. Their deep gazes seemed to be able to see Ye Ming, who was sitting cross-legged in the Immortal Palace.

In the Immortal Palace, Ye Ming also felt the gaze of the three Grand Elders, but he was in no rush to leave seclusion, instead pretending to stabilize the Law he had just mastered.

It was not until two quarter-hours had passed that Ye Ming stood up and walked out of the Immortal Palace.

Just as he reached the entrance of the Immortal Palace, a golden road extended from the horizon, accompanied by the voice of a Grand Elder.

"Daozi, come over for a moment!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the voice, Ye Ming cupped his hands toward the golden road and then stepped onto it.

With a flash of golden light, Ye Ming soon appeared in a Peach Blossom Spring. Here, flowers and trees were lush, the grass was fragrant, birds were singing, and many Spirit Beasts he had never seen before were playing to their hearts' content.

Upon arriving here, Ye Ming's mood could not help but relax. He really wanted to lie flat here; it was just too comfortable, and even the air was sweet and fresh.

However, Ye Ming did not forget his business. He dispelled the thought of lying flat here and walked along a small path.

Not long after, a pavilion appeared at the end of Ye Ming's line of sight.

Arriving at the pavilion, the three Grand Elders were leisurely drinking tea. However, this time they were not drinking enlightenment tea, but a type of ninth-rank spirit tea.

The Grand Elders did not have much enlightenment tea; it was only brought out to be brewed on important occasions.

Although Ye Ming had an entire enlightenment tea tree, he could not bring it out; he needed to find a suitable opportunity to bring it out and drink it openly.

"Daozi, come, first accompany us for a cup of tea!"

The kind-faced Grand Elder said to Ye Ming with a smile and made room for him.

The other two Grand Elders also took the initiative to nod at Ye Ming, similarly revealing a smile.

It was evident that these three were extremely satisfied with Ye Ming.

After Ye Ming cupped his hands in greeting, he sat down to drink the spirit tea.

The spirit tea was sweet upon entering the mouth and carried a natural fragrance that left a lingering aftertaste.

After finishing this cup of spirit tea, a gentle spiritual power surged through his body, not only cleansing his body and Soul of impurities but also increasing his Cultivation to a certain extent.

However, the increased Cultivation was a bit negligible at the Mahayana stage, but it was still quite excellent for tasting!

After finishing one cup, the Grand Elder poured another for Ye Ming.

However, only when Ye Ming finished drinking did the Grand Elder speak about the matter at hand.

"Daozi, accompany us on a trip to the Nine Profound Great Secret Realm!"

"Yes!"

Ye Ming stood up and replied.

The Grand Elder waved his hand, and a ten-thousand-foot vortex appeared above the pavilion.

Subsequently, Ye Ming followed them into the vortex.

The Nine Profound Great Secret Realm was the superior version of the Tai Xuan Minor Secret Realm. It was a major Secret Realm controlled by the Immortal Sect and was also the location of the true form of the nine heavens profound pagoda.

Although the nine heavens profound pagoda was the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden's Immortal Artifact, she had left it in the Immortal Sect to benefit the sect.

No one could persuade her otherwise; she insisted on leaving the nine heavens profound pagoda in the Immortal Sect, which no one had expected.

It was precisely this time that she was schemed against by the Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm and directly lost contact with the Immortal Sect.

No one knew whether she was dead or alive; the nine heavens profound pagoda could not sense her aura, and the Soul Lamp left in the Immortal Sect had also extinguished.

This situation was practically the same as being dead, but the Immortal Sect had never given up on the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden. Two Grand Elders and twelve Elders had already infiltrated the Demon Realm to search for her.

The Immortal Sect had five Grand Elders and one hundred and eight Elders. If not for the fact that the Nine Profound Spirit Domain needed the Immortal Sect to hold the fort, the sect would have long since exhausted all its power to wreak havoc in the Demon Realm.

Unfortunately, with great power comes great responsibility. As the hegemon of the Spirit Domain, they could not make decisions lightly; the slightest carelessness would mean falling into the Demon Realm's treacherous schemes.

Once they fell into a trap, the entire Spirit Domain would have no peace and would be seized by the Demon Realm, a consequence the Immortal Sect could not bear.

The Immortal Sect could now only place its hope on those two Grand Elders and twelve Elders who had infiltrated the Demon Realm.
