57: Wangxian Palace! Saint!

“You sure have a lot of questions, kid.”

Grand Elder Xuan Yan saw that he still had questions and lightly tapped him on the head.

“Just curious.”

Su Yang rubbed his head.

Grand Elder Xuan Yan shrugged and said, “No one knows the final outcome of the Three Immortal Emperors. After all, that final battle wasn’t something cultivators of the Myriad Spirits Realm could observe.”

“Everyone only knows that after the final battle ended, ancient Magical Artifacts were left scattered everywhere.”

“Some say that in this battle, both Immortal Emperors and our own Eternal Immortal Emperor all died.”

“Others say that the Three Immortal Emperors each found a way to preserve a sliver of life for themselves, and will return one day in the future.”

“As for the truth... no one knows.”

At the end of his explanation, Grand Elder Xuan Yan looked at Su Yang with a very meaningful gaze.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing and Grand Elder Xuan Jian also cast seemingly calm, yet ineffable, glances at him.

Su Yang was still processing the shocking ancient secrets the Three Grand Elders had just revealed, so he didn’t notice their gazes.

It had been eight years since his Transmigration.

This was the first time he learned that such terrifying events had occurred in the Myriad Spirits Realm.

“Alright, kid, don’t overthink it. Just listen to it as a story.”

Grand Elder Xuan Jian stood up and said, “You are now our three’s Disciple, with a seniority above that of an Elder, so you should have your own Immortal Cave.”

“These two mountain ranges are Dragon Spiritual Veins, filled with Immortal dwelling treasures everywhere. Go search around yourself and settle into an Immortal Cave you like.”

“The three of us need to discuss your special Cultivation method. We will find you once we have reached a conclusion.”

Su Yang immediately stood up and cupped his hands, “Yes! Disciple bids farewell!”

Leaving Xuanqing House, Su Yang patted Gu Yue’s head on his shoulder.

“Gu Yue, you should have Cultivated to the Nine-Tailed Peak form before, right? So you’re definitely older than my current Three Masters...”

“You’re old! Your whole family is old!”

“Cough cough... Alright, alright, I misspoke.”

Su Yang didn’t expect this fellow to care about that; indeed, all females are the same.

Reconsidering his words, “You have experienced a longer period of time than my Three Masters. Did you experience the Burial Immortal Valley battle?”

“What if I told you I’m younger than your Three Masters, would you believe me?”

Gu Yue finally smiled, her tail gently brushing his face.

“How is that possible???”

Su Yang was greatly astonished.

He had been thinking about the Burial Immortal Valley battle, but Gu Yue’s words had completely shifted his attention to her.

The Three Masters had only Cultivated to the Body Integration Stage after ten thousand years.

Above the Body Integration Stage, there were two major Realms: Undergoing Tribulation and Mahayana.

The further one progressed, the longer the Cultivation cycle. It was said that advancing one major Realm could take 50,000 to 100,000 years.

The Nine-Tailed Peak form was equivalent to the Human Race’s Mahayana Stage.

If Gu Yue had reached the Mahayana Stage in just ten thousand years, then she would be a truly terrifying existence.

“Hehehe~~~ You look so cute when you’re surprised~~~”

“Only you are allowed to be a Genius, can’t Big Sister be a Genius too?”

Seeing his astonished expression, Gu Yue was very pleased and continued to smile charmingly.

“Are you serious?”

“Why would Big Sister lie to you?”

“If you’re so amazing, how did someone cripple your Cultivation?”

Su Yang grew even more curious.

Gu Yue’s smile abruptly stopped, and she gave Su Yang a solid glare, “If you can’t chat properly, then don’t chat. Really~~~ Hurry up and find your Immortal Cave~~~ I want to start Cultivating quickly!”

Su Yang: ...???

It seemed this was her sore spot.

Helpless.

If she was even younger than the Three Masters, it meant she was even less likely to know more about the Burial Immortal Valley battle.

Alright.

Since he had learned what he needed to, he should properly find his own Immortal Cave.

Here, two Spiritual Veins converged, making the Spiritual Qi very abundant. Finding a comfortable Immortal Cave to live in meant he could Cultivate here in peace from now on!

Su Yang flew towards the mountain range... Inside Xuanqing House.

After seeing Su Yang off, Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian all had extremely serious expressions.

“What do you think of this Disciple we’ve taken in?”

“It’s hard to say. He gives off a feeling of both righteousness and evil.”

“Indeed. If you say he’s evil, he gained the recognition of a divine sword. If you say he’s full of righteousness, his Cultivation method is not at all orthodox.”

The Three Grand Elders found Su Yang more and more unsettling as they spoke, exchanging bewildered glances.

“It is rumored that after the Burial Immortal Valley battle, the Three Immortal Emperors would return in their own ways. Do you think this Su Yang could be... the Reincarnation of one of them?”

“It’s not impossible. His talent is terrifying enough to manifest as tangible sharpness that can sever mountains and rivers. An ordinary person would never be capable of this.”

“If it’s a righteous Immortal Emperor or our Eternal Immortal Emperor, that’s fine. But if it’s that Demonic Path Immortal Emperor who has Reincarnated, us three old bones won’t be able to handle it.”

The three deeply agreed.

They exchanged glances, knowing full well that the seriousness of this matter had far exceeded their ability to bear.

“Let’s go! Let’s go see that person!”

“Indeed, we must ask for that person’s opinion!”

“Let’s go!”

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian nodded in tacit understanding, and simultaneously vanished from Xuanqing House.

When they reappeared, they were in another place a thousand miles away.

The three flew side by side, landing in a deserted mountain.

After walking for half an hour, they arrived before an ancient divine temple.

This divine temple was constructed from ancient and rough Spirit Stones, simultaneously rugged and possessing astonishing grand details. Its sheer scale made Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian, all in the Body Integration Stage, feel insignificant.

Above the divine temple was a huge plaque, inscribed with the three characters: [Wangxian Hall].

These three characters were not ornate, nor did they glitter with gold; instead, they exuded a profound sense of age and vicissitude.

The steps leading up to the hall numbered a full eight thousand.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian dared not ascend the steps without being summoned.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing respectfully cupped his hands and bowed towards the divine temple.

“Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect seek an audience with the Grand Elder.”

“We three have an important matter to discuss with the Grand Elder.”

No sooner had Grand Elder Xuan Qing’s voice faded than a young girl in white appeared at the top of the steps.

“You’re finally here.”

“Hurry up, hurry up, you’re making me anxious.”

Hearing this clear and playful voice, Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian all respectfully performed a grand bow to her.

“Xuan Qing,”

“Xuan Yan,”

“Xuan Jian,”

“Greetings, Saintess!”

The Saintess on the steps impatiently waved her hand, and the three below the steps instantly appeared beside her.

“Stop with the nonsense, hurry up and come with me to see the Elder.”

“May I ask, Saintess, does the Grand Elder know we are returning?”

“Already knows.”

“And also knows why we have come?”

“Knows, knows, knows, you talk too much, hurry up, hurry up.”

This young Saintess was clearly very impatient with their dawdling, and quickened her pace forward. Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian were somewhat puzzled.

Although the Saintess was usually cheerful and lively, she was generally dignified and proper.

Why was she in such a hurry today?

But they dared not ask.

They quickened their steps to follow the Saintess.

The Saintess led them into the hall. The layout inside the Wangxian Hall was very peculiar, with labyrinth-like rooms, yet each room was interconnected. Furthermore, in each room, several black-robed cultivators were meditating and Cultivating.

As they traversed these rooms, Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian maintained solemn expressions, not daring to show the slightest negligence or disrespect; even their breathing seemed cautious.

Passing through these special rooms, they arrived at the rear hall.

The Saintess led them to an iron room deep within the rear hall.

“You have arrived.”

As soon as Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian entered the room, they heard a hoarse voice.

In the main seat of the room, an old man with a hunched body under a black robe slowly raised his head. His gaze, sharp as a divine sword, instantly brightened the dim room.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian immediately knelt on the ground.

“Xuan Qing,”

“Xuan Yan,”

“Xuan Jian,”

“Greetings, Grand Elder!”
