After questioning Wuyue, she stood behind me and kept silent for a while. Then, she asked me about Liu Ruxu's situation.
At that moment, Liu Ruxu was by my side. However, it wasn't good for them to meet in such a situation. After I told her about the situation, Wuyue nodded and didn't say anything.
As the two of us were conversing, the Snake King, who was standing behind Yao Yao, stared at me with a gloomy expression. Looking at his expression, I knew that he didn't need to say anything to know that I was the one who had barged into the Liu clan.
At that time, it was useless even if he found out. With his cultivation, I might not be able to defeat him, but with Yaoyao around, he could only swallow his anger.
Speaking of Yaoyao, I was still curious about her advancement. When she had just arrived, everyone's gazes were focused on her. I didn't want to communicate with her, but now that everyone's gazes had dispersed, I might as well ask her about it.
Of course, I didn't walk over to ask Yaoyao directly, but secretly used a secret technique to send her a telepathic message.
Yaoyao wasn't surprised when she heard my telepathic message, and her expression didn't change. She stood at her original spot and sent me a telepathic message. She told me that ever since she advanced to Yang God, she had formed a Monster Core in her body. However, this Monster Core was different from the others in the Qingqiu tribe.
The Monster Core in her body was wrapped in a layer of blood-red mist.
At first, she was shocked and didn't know what the blood mist was.
However, as she continued to cultivate, she realized that the blood mist didn't cause her any harm. Instead, it increased her cultivation speed.
After some exploration, she realized that the blood mist was the Fox King's blood essence that she had obtained when she had advanced to Yang God Realm.
When the Fox King's blood essence had entered her body, although it had increased her cultivation, it hadn't been fully effective. After she formed the Monster Core, the power of the Fox King's blood essence had been fully displayed.
Hence, apart from the secret technique that she had cultivated, she had been able to advance so quickly because of the support of the Fox King's blood essence.
After hearing what she said, I felt relieved.
The Fox King's blood essence was a drop of blood essence that Monster Emperor Jun had left in the Qingqiu tribe before he left.
Monster Emperor Jun was an ancient God, and his blood essence naturally had the power of a God. It was reasonable that Yaoyao's power had increased greatly after absorbing it.
In other words, after Yao Yao absorbed the Fox King's blood essence, her body also has the power of a god, her blood essence more or less also has the power of a god.
It was indeed feasible to solve the bloodline problem of the Qing Qiu Clan with her Blood Essence.
Just as he was thinking, an auspicious cloud suddenly flew over from afar. At first, it was very far, but in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of him.
Before I could react, the people of the Metaphysics Association and Mount Longhu knelt down.
Now, I realized that it was President Li and Celestial Master Zhang.
After realizing this, my heart skipped a beat.
Let's not talk about Celestial Master Zhang for now. President Li … Ever since I came into contact with the Metaphysics Association, many things that happened were inextricably linked to him. Most of the time, he was no different from Nangong He and the sacrificial evil spirit. He had been controlling many of my affairs in the dark. However, the strange thing was that after so many years, I had never seen his true face.
While he was thinking, the auspicious cloud had already landed among the crowd.
Looking up, there were five people and one beast standing on the auspicious clouds.
Except for Ye Pianpian and another woman who looked exactly the same as her, the other three people had white hair and long beards.
Among the other three people, two had white hair and long beards, while the other person was wearing casual clothes. He looked about the same age as me, and his face was firm and determined, but he also had the air of an immortal.
In front of them stood a colorful exotic beast.
From the figure, I could vaguely recognize that it was the qilin that I hadn't seen for a long time, but its appearance had changed greatly.
I was a little surprised. When I had left the Peng Lai Immortal Region, the qilin hadn't left with me.
At that time, I was still guessing what the Peng Lai Sovereign was planning.
However, I had never thought that the qilin would change like this when I saw him again.
I didn't know the reason for the qilin's change, but I didn't want to look into it. My eyes returned to the three people.
Two of the elders were wearing long robes. One of them was the Peng Lai Sovereign that I had met before, and the other had his hair combed into a bun. He wore a jade hairpin and held a horsetail whisk. Judging from his appearance, he must be Celestial Master Zhang of Mount Longhu.
As for the other youth, I didn't dare to make a conclusion about his identity.
Whether it was his appearance or his clothes, they were completely different from what I had imagined Old President Li to look like.
I stood in the distance with a solemn expression and didn't dare to act rashly. However, Ye Pianpian was the first to notice me. She nodded at me from a distance, and I calmed down and nodded slightly in response.
At this time, the young man next to Ye Pianpian suddenly turned his head and looked at me with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
I had only seen the power in his eyes from the sacrificial evil spirits. Even when I was targeted by the Peng Lai Sovereign, I didn't have such a strong feeling.
With just one glance, I was certain of his identity.
With his cultivation, he must be Old President Li of the Metaphysics Association!
After realizing this, I took a deep breath. I didn't know what I was feeling, and I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.
The few people on the auspicious clouds had already separated and returned to their respective camps.
The Peng Lai Sovereign stayed where he was, while Celestial Master Zhang brought the woman who looked the same as Ye Pianpian to the people of Mount Longhu. As I had imagined, the youth brought Ye Pianpian back to the Metaphysics Association.
I came back to my senses and felt that it was unimaginable.
Judging from the old president's age, he should be an old man, but it was too strange for him to maintain his appearance like this.
There were many cultivation techniques, and it wasn't strange to say that there were techniques to maintain one's appearance. However, with the old president's cultivation, he was no different from an immortal, so he naturally wouldn't pay attention to his appearance. What he displayed was undoubtedly his original appearance.
After thinking for a while, I didn't continue to dwell on this issue. Instead, I thought about the specific cultivation of the old president, Celestial Master Zhang, and the Peng Lai Sovereign.
In terms of strength, the three of them were the ones with the highest cultivation. Thus, it was necessary to know their true strength.
Thus, I asked the sacrificial evil spirit if it could see their cultivation. The evil spirit nodded and told me, "These three people's cultivation is similar to mine, half a step into the Sunset Realm."
Half a step into the Sunset Realm?
I was stunned for a moment, but then understood. It should be above the great circle of the Dawn Realm, just a hair away from ascending to the Sunset Realm.
When I went to the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, I thought that it was the real Immortal Realm, and that the Peng Lai Sovereign was also an immortal. But later, I realized that even though the Peng Lai Immortal Realm was in the sky, it wasn't the real Immortal Realm. Thus, their cultivation was in line with my speculations.
As I was thinking, the evil spirit continued, "The Immortal Destiny of the mortal world has run out. It makes sense that these people call the Mountain and Sea Realm the Longevity Sect."
Although his words were spoken with certainty, they were also filled with mockery. I immediately understood what he meant. The reason these people wanted to open up the Mountain and Sea Realm was to seek Immortal destiny, to truly ascend to the Heavens....
Given their cultivation bases, they were already true immortals in the mortal world. If they wanted to advance further, they would have to truly ascend to the Sunset Realm. Thus, they were probably the ones who wanted to open the Mountain and Sea Realm the most.
As for the Demonfolk I was worried about, they probably didn't care at all.
I couldn't help but think back to Nangong Hao's attitude back then. He and the others didn't seem to care at all about what the Mountain and Sea Realm's opening would bring to the mortal world. All they cared about was their own gains and losses.
Now that I thought about this, I couldn't help but look over at the evil spirit.
He was also someone who wanted to open the Mountain and Sea Realm, but he was different from everyone else. He wanted to bring the Demonfolk out of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Although I didn't like his goals, in some ways, he was the purest of them all.
As matters stood, my heart was in chaos. I could only wait and see what would happen when the Mountain and Sea Realm opened. As for what would happen, I would have to wait and see.
Even as I was thinking about all of this, the young-looking president suddenly waved at me, indicating for me to go over.
Seeing his movements, my first reaction was shock. After pondering for a while, I took a deep breath and walked over.
I had only taken a single step when the evil spirit spoke up. "You can go over by yourself. There's no need to be nervous."
Clearly, he meant that he would keep an eye on the president and that I didn't need to be afraid.
With his guarantee, I felt much more at ease. I collected my thoughts and expressionlessly walked over. When I arrived in front of Old President Li, I tidied up my clothes and cupped my hands towards him. I respectfully called out, "Old President."
Although my emotions were complicated, I owed him a debt of gratitude, and he had taken care of me on many occasions. No matter what his motives were, I couldn't ignore that fact.
He seemed very satisfied with my attitude. He smiled and patted my shoulder. "Relax. There's no need to be so polite.
I called you over because I felt that we should meet. "
Although the president had the appearance of a young man, his words were filled with the vicissitudes of life. He was no different from Lord Penglai and the others.
I didn't know how to respond to his words, and my heart was still filled with anxiety. Suddenly, he took out something that looked like a jade plate from his robe. "Do you recognize this?" he asked.
I lowered my head to take a look. There were dragon carvings and some simple drawings of human faces. At first glance, I recognized it. It was one of the ten great divine tools, the Kongtong Seal.
It was said that the Kongtong Seal was the divine tool that protected the Di Kingdom in the Eastern Sea. This seal had existed since ancient times. The five Sky Emperors were carved on it: Tai Hao, Yan Emperor, Shao Hao, Zhuanxu, East, South, West, North, and the Yellow Emperor in the center. A golden jade dragon coiled around the seal.
It was said that it could make people immortal. Since ancient times, many alchemists had gone out to sea in search of this seal. However, in the end, they couldn't find it.
Old President Li's actions had always been profound, so I wasn't surprised that he had a godly weapon in his hands. However, I didn't know why he wanted to show it to me. Just as I was considering whether I should ask him, Nangong, who had been silent all this while, suddenly shouted. "The time has come."
When I heard his voice, my heart trembled. Like everyone else, I turned to look at Nangong.
The Mountain and Sea Realm was about to open, and I didn't have time to worry about the president's situation. I was just about to bid him farewell, but before I could say anything, the president smiled at me and patted me on the shoulder. "Don't disappoint me, kid," he said.
I was stunned. I still didn't understand what he meant, but I didn't think too much about it. I nodded and returned to Nangong's side.
