That day, Ye Yu and Zhuo Lanqing left Wuwei Tower together.
They set out on the journey to Taiyan Dao.
As for the route, there was no need to worry at all.
On the invitation from Taiyan Dao that Dan Ting had delivered, there was a guiding butterfly.
Once infused with immortal energy,
it could point the way, making navigation very convenient.
Zhuo Lanqing followed the guiding butterfly, flying through the air.
Though her eyes looked ahead,
her spiritual awareness lingered on Ye Yu behind her.
She had originally thought
that after three months, when the Xianjun inheritance secret realm opened,
she and Ye Yu would act alone.
But unexpectedly, this time came early.
Even attending the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference was alone time together.
Honestly, Zhuo Lanqing still found it hard to believe it was real,
like a dream.
Not bringing Bai Xichu and Bai Miaoling, but bringing her instead.
So then, what exactly did Ye Yu mean?
Could it be that he had other thoughts about her?
Thinking this, Zhuo Lanqing’s pretty face flushed red.
“Even if you’re very curious, there’s no need to keep your spiritual awareness fixed on me all the time, right?”
Ye Yu’s voice suddenly came from behind ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) her.
This made Zhuo Lanqing extremely flustered.
She almost forgot
that Ye Yu was truly mid-stage Earth Immortal Realm,
nearly a whole major realm above her.
He could naturally clearly sense the spiritual awareness of a lower-realm immortal watching him.
So embarrassing.
Zhuo Lanqing hurriedly began to explain, “I-I, well, I was curious.
So... uh, curious.”
Because she was so nervous, her words became incoherent.
Ye Yu didn’t mind and quietly said,
“Actually, there’s nothing really worth being curious about.
Originally, I wanted to bring Shangguan Jiujiu and you together to see the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference,
to see the world in the Heavenly Realm.
As for Bai Xichu and Bai Miaoling, I never planned to bring them.
It was simple: they’re too noisy, and I wanted a few quiet days.
But now that Shangguan Jiujiu has fallen asleep,
bringing Bai Miaoling along is naturally the best choice.
But then Bai Xichu would be unhappy.
Rather than that,
it’s better to let those two stay behind,
so I can still have some peace.”
Hearing this,
Zhuo Lanqing slightly nodded,
but a faint, imperceptible sadness showed in her eyes.
Perhaps the answer she wanted was not this.
Taiyan Dao’s Xianmen address lay atop a celestial mountain in the central Heavenly Realm.
It was not far from Wuwei Tower.
After only two hours,
guided by the butterfly,
Ye Yu and Zhuo Lanqing arrived at this place.
Outside the huge Xianmen, ten Earth Immortal Realm immortals stood in formation.
With the invitation,
Zhuo Lanqing and Ye Yu successfully entered the Xianmen.
Inside, they found
a world apart.
The grounds were vast, and the immortals residing there numbered at least in the thousands.
Since entering the Heavenly Realm, this was the first time Ye Yu had seen so many immortals gathered together.
Zhuo Lanqing was also deeply impressed.
Was this the hidden Xianmen Shangguan Jiujiu had spoken of?
It was indeed far more prosperous than Wuwei Tower.
Moreover, the place was filled with rich immortal energy,
obviously supported by many formation arrays,
truly magnificent.
Here, Ye Yu and Zhuo Lanqing once again encountered the tall-crowned immortal who had delivered the invitation — Dan Ting.
He remained as gentle and refined as before.
He first cupped his hands and saluted Zhuo Lanqing and Ye Yu, thanking them for coming.
Then he led them to Taiyan Dao’s lecture hall,
stating this was the true venue for the Xianmen Conference.
Each Xianmen master could bring only one person inside.
Their Xianmen, Wuwei Tower, brought two immortals,
which was quite fitting.
After Dan Ting’s explanation,
Ye Yu and Zhuo Lanqing suddenly understood:
the immortals outside were not the real hosts; this was the main venue.
In comparison,
their Wuwei Tower’s number of participants was probably the smallest.
This made Zhuo Lanqing feel quite embarrassed.
However, Dan Ting’s words showed no hint of disdain.
He led them to their assigned seats,
and on the front table lay their Wuwei Tower’s nameplate.
It was clear Taiyan Dao was sincere in their reception.
Dan Ting also said that if they needed anything, they could find him,
then slowly left.
Ye Yu looked around and roughly counted.
There were at least nearly two hundred immortals here.
Since only two people could enter from each Xianmen,
that meant at least one hundred Xianmen
were attending this Ten Thousand Immortals Conference.
That was truly quite a number.
When Ye Yu looked back,
he saw Zhuo Lanqing shrinking and timid beside him.
Curiously, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Zhuo Lanqing transmitted her thoughts, “Compared to them, the number of immortals in our Xianmen is the smallest, isn’t it?
Really a bit shabby.
If I’d known, I wouldn’t have come.”
Hearing this,
Ye Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
That was interesting.
Back in the dream realm,
he had seen Zhuo Lanqing’s future fate:
five thousand three hundred years later, she would become a peak Xianjun strong.
And under her leadership,
Wuwei Tower would be famous throughout the Heavenly Realm.
Unexpectedly,
such an existence was so timid at the start.
That wouldn’t do.
Ye Yu raised his hand and patted Zhuo Lanqing’s shoulder.
The gesture made her tense instantly.
“Be more confident.
Out here, the identity you have is what you give yourself.
As long as you don’t say it,
who knows our Xianmen was just founded?
I say our Wuwei Tower is a hidden Xianmen with over a hundred thousand years of inheritance.
But if you, as the Xianmen master, show such fear,
others will naturally look down on our Xianmen.”
Zhuo Lanqing thought carefully and felt this made sense.
She didn’t believe
that among so many Xianmen present,
only their Wuwei Tower was newly established.
Not to mention, the Heavenly Immortal Realm guardian sect beasts alone
could likely wipe out more than half of the Xianmen.
Plus having Ye Yu, who could kill Golden Immortal Realm cultivators.
With such a lineup,
how could it not look like a hidden Xianmen with a hundred thousand years of inheritance?
Zhuo Lanqing immediately felt confident,
and her gaze gradually grew firm.
A moment later,
when nearly all the Xianmen masters had arrived,
a figure suddenly appeared on the high platform in front.
It was a tall elder, white-haired but youthful-faced,
with the aura of an immortal cultivator, looking quite imposing.
“I am Qian Li Zhenren, acting immortal master of Taiyan Dao at present.
I thank all Xianmen masters for coming to Taiyan Dao’s Xianmen Conference despite your busy schedules.
To not waste your valuable time,
I will speak plainly!
Since the Heavenly Realm catastrophe,
countless Xianmen have become history, leaving many ruins.
This is a heartbreaking matter.
However, even more heartbreaking is that many immortals have fought fiercely over these ruins,
even causing immortal falls.
This is truly unacceptable.
No matter who falls,
it weakens the power of the Heavenly Realm.
Therefore, I wish to call upon you all—”
Before Qian Li Zhenren finished speaking,
a thin-bodied immortal slowly stood and interrupted,
“Zhenren, do you mean
that from now on, no one is allowed to seize resources in the Xianmen ruins?
If it is unclaimed land,
the capable should occupy it.
Taiyan Dao’s rules are just too broad, aren’t they?”
