404: Chapter 404 Li Xian'er was taken away by the Immortal Venerable

"What? How is that possible? Doesn't the Tianlong Sect have three Immortal Emperors? Are Xianer and the others okay?"

Ye Mo immediately asked nervously.

"It's not clear yet. Their Primordial Spirit soul lamps haven't shown any issues, so I suspect they might have been captured, or perhaps they are on their way back right now,"

Li Tianqi said.

"What on earth happened? How could a perfectly fine Tianlong Sect be wiped out?" Hearing that Li Xianer and the others were safe, Ye Mo relaxed slightly.

"The details are still unclear, but the news circulating now is that the son of the Tianlong Sect's Sect Head offended a powerful expert, and subsequently, all three of the Tianlong Sect's Immortal Emperors were slain overnight."

Many Disciples of the Tianlong Sect managed to escape.

Even now, they found it hard to believe that the Tianlong Sect, which had stood firm for tens of millions of years, was wiped out in an instant just because they offended a single person.

To each of them, the Tianlong Sect was a colossal entity, yet they never expected it to be destroyed just like that.

"So what is the state of the Tianlong Sect now?" Ye Mo pressed further.

"The Disciples of the Tianlong Sect have already fled to various Star Domains." Li Tianqi was clearly somewhat worried.

The Tianlong Sect had tens of thousands of Immortal Lords. One could only imagine what would happen when they arrived.

"Is no one keeping them in check?"

"No. That expert didn't seem to care about the Tianlong Sect at all. After slaying the Tianlong Sect's Immortal Emperors, he left."

"In other words, the Tianlong Sect is now completely disorganized and leaderless?"

Ye Mo said thoughtfully.

"Indeed. Chaos is very likely to break out next. Those Disciples of the Tianlong Sect might kill each other to fight over territory."

This seemed to be a foreseeable outcome.

"Those Immortal Lords would surely fight fiercely for power and status, eliminating any opposition."

When that time came, they themselves would likely be dragged into it.

"Father-in-law, roughly when will you be able to Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor realm?" Ye Mo asked.

"I have only just entered closed-door cultivation to make the Breakthrough. It will take at least several tens of thousands of years."

Li Tianqi shook his head and continued, "Don't think that once I Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor realm, I can unify the world. That's impossible. Many of the Tianlong Sect's Disciples must have cultivated Heaven-Grade Cultivation Techniques. Even if I Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor realm, I might not be a match for them."

"No way, an Immortal Emperor can't beat an Immortal Lord?" Ye Mo asked in surprise.

"My talent is actually quite average, and I only Cultivate a Yellow-Grade Cultivation Technique. However, those powerful Immortal Lords of the Tianlong Sect almost all Cultivate Heaven-Grade Cultivation Techniques. Although they might find it difficult to Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor realm, their strength is not inferior to an Immortal Emperor's at all. Moreover, we don't know if some of them have already broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm long ago and just haven't made it public."

Li Tianqi had never thought about dominating the world.

Nor did he have that kind of confidence.

His current thought was simply to have enough time to Breakthrough in peace and quiet.

Because his time was also running out.

Furthermore, his Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor realm was not a hundred percent guaranteed; in fact, there was a high probability of failure.

Many Immortal Lords wanted to Cultivate their Source Power to the highest level, which would significantly increase their probability of a Breakthrough.

But Li Tianqi had no time to Cultivate his Origin.

"Then let's play it safe first. If someone tries to recruit us, we'll join them."

Ye Mo thought about it; it was best to adapt to the circumstances.

Although his Origin and immortal Qi had reached the Immortal Emperor level, there were probably quite a few Immortal Lords in the Tianlong Sect who had reached this level as well.

After that, Ye Mo did not enter closed-door cultivation again.

Upgrading his Chaos Origin to Intermediate provided limited enhancement to his strength, so it was better to spend his time on having children.

January 1st, Year 9201.

Ten Immortal Lords and over a thousand Immortal Kings descended upon the Qingshui Immortal Domain.

Subsequently, they occupied the Qingshui Immortal Domain and renamed it the Yun Ji Immortal Domain.

The leader of these people was none other than Immortal Lord Yun Ji.

Three days later, Immortal King Guang Churou arrived with an Immortal King.

This Immortal King was none other than a former Disciple of the Tianlong Sect named Dang Fang.

Upon seeing Li Tianqi, Dang Fang was instantly startled, as he unexpectedly could not perceive Li Tianqi's cultivation level.

"Who is this?" Dang Fang immediately asked.

"I am an Immortal Lord of the Tianqi Star Domain, Li Tianqi," Li Tianqi replied.

"Oh, the Tianqi Star Domain. Then why are you here?" Dang Fang asked curiously.

"Because Ye Mo is my son-in-law. I came here to stay for a while, but I didn't expect such a change to happen to the Tianlong Sect. Now, I'm afraid I won't be able to return either," Li Tianqi explained.

"I see."

Dang Fang nodded without any suspicion, then looked at Ye Mo. "Ye Mo, now that the Qingshui Immortal Domain has been renamed the Yun Ji Immortal Domain, our Senior Brother Yun has decreed that all Immortal Kings of the Yun Ji Immortal Domain must send a few of their most talented children to the Yun Ji Star. You shouldn't have any objections, right?"

Yun Ji's move was primarily to keep these Immortal Kings in check.

"Allow me to discuss this with my wives."

Ye Mo replied.

Naturally, he did not want to send his son to be a hostage, and he already had the intention of meeting this Yun Ji in person.

"Alright, I will stay on the Tianhe Star for a day. Once you have made up your minds, you had best send them to the Immortal King Palace tonight."

Dang Fang naturally did not expect Ye Mo to have any thoughts of resistance. After speaking, he looked at Li Tianqi again. "Immortal Lord Li, you said Ye Mo is your son-in-law. Has Ye Mo ever had any children with your daughter?"

Unexpectedly running into Li Tianqi, who was also at the Immortal Lord cultivation level, Dang Fang certainly would not miss this opportunity.

Li Tianqi naturally understood what he meant, so he immediately said, "No, my daughter didn't spend much time with Ye Mo before she went to the Tianlong Sect."

"Your daughter went to the Tianlong Sect? Who is she?" Dang Fang immediately inquired.

"Li Xianer," Li Tianqi answered truthfully.

"What! Your daughter is actually Li Xianer?!"

Li Xianer possessed the Saint Purple Spirit Root, an event that had caused a sensation throughout the entire Tianlong Sect at the time.

"You know my daughter? Do you know where she is now?"

Li Xianer had still not returned. Although her soul lamp was fine, Li Tianqi was still very worried.

"She was taken away. The person who took her is the very Immortal Venerable who wiped out our Tianlong Sect," Dang Fang replied.

"What! Which Immortal Venerable was it?" Li Tianqi pressed.

"I don't know. At that time, we didn't even see his face before the planet where the Tianlong Sect was located was destroyed by him," Dang Fang shook his head.

That Immortal Venerable first killed the three Immortal Emperors of the Tianlong Sect.

He likely learned of Li Xianer's existence from the memories of the three Immortal Emperors, and then carried her away.

Upon learning that Li Tianqi was actually Li Xianer's father, Dang Fang immediately changed his mind. His subsequent words even carried a hint of flattery: "Senior Sister Li is also considered my Senior Sister. Since that's the case, there's no need for Ye Mo to send his children to the Yun Ji Star. However, Immortal Lord Li, if it's convenient for you, could you come with me to the Yun Ji Star? I believe Senior Brother Yun would be very pleased to meet you."
