Chapter 105: Dao Venerable
“Fellow Daoist Zheng, long time no see.”
Seeing Zheng Gushuang walk in, Xu Fengyuan immediately stood up with an apologetic smile and went forward to greet him.
Clearly, from Xu Fengyuan’s enthusiastic tone, it was not difficult to see that some connection existed between the two of them.
But Zheng Gushuang’s expression was solemn, and he was not particularly warm. He waved his hand and said,
“Fellow Daoist Xu, I presume you already know why I have come. In that case, I will not waste words. How do you plan to resolve the matter of Qingfeng Sect?” fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Seeing Zheng Gushuang speak so directly, Xu Fengyuan’s expression also became serious.
“Since Fellow Daoist Zheng has put it that way, I will not waste words either. My current plan is for our two great sects to form an alliance.”
“Only by doing so can we suppress Qingfeng Sect.”
Although the Ancient Wood Sect and the Primordial Sect both had mighty experts at the Peak of the Immortal King Realm, their combined number was only equal to Qingfeng Sect’s. If they fought one-on-one, they naturally would not fear them. But if they were surrounded and attacked by many at once, they would naturally have to be somewhat wary.
Hearing this, Zheng Gushuang nodded. “That was precisely my intention.”
Both of them could represent their respective sects, so after a round of discussion, the two great forces soon formed a complete alliance.
After the matter was settled, Zheng Gushuang thought of Lu Xunxian. His expression turned solemn as he asked, free𝑤ebnovel.com
“I wonder what Fellow Daoist Xu thinks of that Immortal King mighty expert on Tiansheng Continent?”
After Zheng Gushuang finished speaking, Xu Fengyuan’s expression was serious. Only after thinking for a moment did he say, “Since the other party bears no ill will toward our Ancient Wood Sect and Primordial Sect, and even his children are the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of our lower-realm branches…”
“Then we can attempt to make contact with him.”
“But when the time comes, which side that Immortal King ultimately joins will depend on our own abilities.”
When he reached the end, an aura of competition burst out from Xu Fengyuan. Zheng Gushuang was not willing to show weakness either.
After all, that was an Immortal King. To forces like theirs, such an existence was extremely precious as well. If they could win him over, that would naturally be best.
Inside Qingfeng Sacred Land.
Feng Qingyu was in seclusion, but she suddenly received a transmission from her Master, telling her to hurry to the Sacred Hall.
Hearing the solemnity in her Master’s tone, Feng Qingyu suddenly felt an ominous sensation rise in her heart. She could not concern herself with anything else. After undoing the Restriction Seal on her Cave Dwelling, she prepared to hurry to the Sacred Hall.
But just as she walked outside the Cave Dwelling, Feng Qingyu saw something, and her entire body could not help freezing.
A Storage Ring was lying quietly on the ground, emitting a faint silver glow that looked extremely enticing.
“This… who placed a Storage Ring at the entrance of my Cave Dwelling?”
Feng Qingyu’s first reaction was not to put the Storage Ring away. Instead, she looked around vigilantly. After all, she had also cultivated for some time, so naturally, she would not believe in something as good as a windfall falling from the sky.
But after a long while, there was still no movement. Feng Qingyu’s expression was solemn as she looked toward the Storage Ring.
Only after a long while did she finally make up her mind. She walked over and picked up the Storage Ring.
What if? What if such a good thing as a windfall falling from the sky really had happened to her?
When the Storage Ring rested in her palm, Feng Qingyu examined it with her Divine Soul. There was no Restriction Seal. After seeing the things lying inside the Storage Ring, Feng Qingyu’s breathing stopped for an instant. Immediately afterward, she put the Storage Ring away without hesitation.
She had already recognized it. This was her Holy Lord’s Storage Ring.
“Damn it. Why would the Holy Lord’s Storage Ring appear here?”
Feng Qingyu’s expression was ugly. If her Master and the Patriarchs found out, then even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she would never be able to wash herself clean.
At this moment, Feng Qingyu was conflicted over whether she should hand over the Storage Ring. But in the end, she still dismissed that thought. If the Storage Ring still had a Restriction Seal, then naturally, she would not lay a finger on it.
But now that there was no Restriction Seal, it was no different from an ownerless object. Swallowing it for herself was only human nature.
After putting away the Storage Ring, Feng Qingyu continued hurrying toward the Sacred Hall.
【Ding. Congratulations, Feng Qingyu has obtained one portion of a Peak Saint Emperor Realm cultivator’s accumulated foundation. A billionfold portion of a Peak Saint Emperor Realm cultivator’s accumulated foundation has been fed back to the Host.】
【Ding. Congratulations, Feng Qingyu has obtained one portion of a Mid True Immortal Realm cultivator’s accumulated foundation. A billionfold portion of a Mid True Immortal Realm cultivator’s accumulated foundation has been fed back to the Host.】
【Do you wish to synthesize?】
Inside Myriad Dao Academy, at the same time Feng Qingyu accepted the Storage Ring, the System’s voice rang out.
“She accepted it? Synthesize it for me.”
Looking at the billionfold amount of accumulated foundation fed back to him, Lu Xunxian chose to synthesize it without the slightest hesitation.
【Ding. Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one portion of a Peak Immortal Emperor mighty expert’s accumulated foundation.】
【Ding. Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one portion of a Mid Dao Venerable mighty expert’s accumulated foundation.】
As the System’s voice fell, the resources inside the Storage Ring were instantly reduced by quite a bit.
But when he heard the System’s voice, Lu Xunxian’s expression became solemn, and he could not help asking,
“System, what realm is the Dao Venerable Realm?”
However, the System gave no response at all. It seemed that it only reacted when receiving feedback.
Seeing this, Lu Xunxian no longer placed his hopes on the System. He secretly began speculating about what realm the Dao Venerable Realm was.
“Going by this system’s usual pattern, the True Immortal Realm is the second realm after the Saint Emperor Realm. This Dao Venerable is probably also the second realm after the Immortal Emperor Realm. I just do not know what realm comes before Dao Venerable, or whether there are any other realms after Dao Venerable.”
Very quickly, Lu Xunxian analyzed that Dao Venerable should be the second realm after Immortal Emperor.
He simply did not know whether there were any other realms after Dao Venerable.
Although he could simply seize an Immortal Venerable’s accumulated foundation and then secretly hand it to Feng Qingyu to test it.
But as stated earlier, Lu Xunxian was an extremely reasonable person. Without a justified reason, he absolutely would not seize someone else’s things.
Thus, he shook his head and no longer thought about it. His current strength was already more than enough.
At this moment, Fu Qitian rushed back.
“Master, I have fulfilled the mission without disgracing your command.”
“Mm. In that case, let us return.”
Lu Xunxian nodded. Then he looked toward Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun beside him. With a single thought, the surrounding scene returned to the Ancient Wood Sacred Land.
Next, unless something unexpected happened, they only needed to wait for the Tiannan Secret Realm to open, participate in the Tiansheng Grand Tournament, and ascend to the Immortal Realm after it ended.
Inside Qingfeng Sacred Land’s Sacred Hall, Feng Qingyu arrived in a hurry.
“Master, what happened?”
Feng Qingyu looked toward Lin Changkong, whose expression was solemn, and asked aloud.
Although she already had a rough guess in her heart, since the Holy Lord’s Storage Ring had appeared at her place and no longer had any Divine Soul Restriction Seal, he had most likely met with disaster.
Lin Changkong’s expression was solemn, and his voice carried a trace of heaviness. “The Holy Lord has fallen.”
“What! The Holy Lord has fallen? Who killed the Holy Lord? In the vast Tiansheng Continent, who could possibly have the ability to kill the Holy Lord?”
Although Feng Qingyu had already guessed this, when she learned the truth, she still looked shocked.
After all, the Holy Lord was at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm, a terrifying existence who stood at the apex of Tiansheng Continent.
Just how terrifying must the existence capable of killing the Holy Lord be?
