Meanwhile.
In the direction of the Cyan Cloud Sect, a streak of cyan light shot into the sky. Faintly visible within was Lin Feng, disguised as Qin Xuan, who was swept up and vanished in an instant.
He had clearly been taken away and placed under the protection of a Venerable Divinity Transformation from the Cyan Cloud Sect.
"Junior Brother Qin!" Liu Mobai exclaimed, feigning surprise.
"It is of no concern. This one shall simply take the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Daoist."
Venerable Linglong smiled at Qin Xuan, her gaze full of profound meaning.
In that split second, Qin Xuan understood everything, and his scalp went numb.
’Venerable Linglong knows I’m a fake, and that Venerable from the Cyan Cloud Sect knows too. They want me to put on an act—to play the part of the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Daoist! But it seems the other two Venerables don’t know. Damn it, they’re screwing someone over again, and now they want me to be the one to screw over two other Venerables...’
Qin Xuan trembled to his core.
’I knew I shouldn’t have gotten involved. Damn it, this has gotten way out of hand!’
Watching Qin Xuan get taken away, Zhao Yan cried out in alarm, but his voice scattered on the wind.
"Miss Xuan’Er, be careful!"
...
"Though you were merely bait, your performance was acceptable and did not disgrace the name of my Holy Sect. Since you are now part of this game, you shall be granted a fortuitous opportunity."
With a gentle flick of her sleeve, Venerable Linglong sent two Demon Child Orders, each engraved with the image of a ferocious demon god, flying toward Qin Xuan and Liu Mobai respectively.
"With these orders, you may enter the Holy Sect’s secret treasury and choose one Golden Core Blessed Land to serve as the foundation for condensing your Demon Pills."
Liu Mobai couldn’t help but ask, "Can Miss Ye Qingxuan also receive one, as the Daoist of the Cyan Cloud Sect?"
Venerable Linglong’s fine brows rose. "Are you questioning this one?"
Liu Mobai broke out in a cold sweat. "No... This lowly one wouldn’t dare!"
Four great Golden Core Blessed Lands transformed into four different illusory scenes and flooded into the minds of Qin Xuan and Liu Mobai.
[Ten Thousand Bone Skull Ridge]
[Blood Sea Secret Realm]
[Eternal Ghost Realm]
[Lava Demon Cave]
Venerable Linglong’s illusory figure slowly faded, leaving behind one final sentence:
"The Blessed Lands have been shown. The choice is yours to make. I trust you will cultivate well and not squander the opportunity born from this Demon Emperor’s calamity."
...
「Beyond the Circulation Realm, in the boundless starry sky.」
Amidst cold, pitch-black stars floated countless Tier Four Nascent Soul Great Demons.
These Great Demons came in all shapes and sizes.
Like the most loyal of hounds, they patrolled the stellar space, seemingly searching for something.
Before these Great Demons stood several figures whose auras were even more ancient and terrifying.
Savage and Bloodthirsty, they seemed to exist only to kill.
They were tall and nearly humanoid but retained distinct bestial features.
They were clad in simple Beast Skins, some with ferocious horns upon their heads, others dragging long, bone-spiked tails. Their exposed skin was covered in colorful totems that radiated a primal aura.
Their bodies radiated the pressure of Divinity Transformation Level Demon Venerables!
One of them, a three-eyed Demon Venerable with a Turtle Shell on its back, was listening to the report of a Nascent Soul Great Demon.
"Reporting to the Venerable, the White Tiger Star Domain has been thoroughly searched. We have found no trace of any remnants from the Holy Blood Sect."
Just then, another Demon Venerable—one with keen senses, shaped like a giant wolf—jerked its head up. Its crimson nose sniffed hard at the void, and its savage, glowing green eyes suddenly lit up.
"Such a rich Origin of the Wood Element’s Life and Death Power... It’s the scent of the Willow Wood Dao Fruit!"
The wolf-shaped Demon Venerable growled, "After ten thousand years... the Land of Fallen Immortals... We’ve finally found it!"
It whirled to face a bird-like Demon Venerable shrouded in shadows beside it, a sharp glint surging in its eyes.
"Bi Fang, you are the fastest. Return at once and report to the Lord Daoist Venerable! Tell him... we have found the spatial ripples of the Land of Fallen Immortals."
"It’s in the old territory of the Vermilion Bird Star Domain!"
"The Vermilion Bird Star Domain... Understood."
The avian Demon Venerable called Bi Fang gave a cunning smile and repeated the coordinate.
In the next moment, without any discernible movement from it, the surrounding stars began to rapidly shift and change position.
Space twisted and starlight flared brilliantly.
The figure of the avian Divinity Transformation Demon Venerable transformed into a streak of cyan light and abruptly vanished on the spot!
