The perception of immortals is extraordinarily keen.
Jiang Yumo sensed immediately that someone was watching him.
He turned his head at once and happened to meet eyes with Huangfu Baizhi.
She was a strikingly spirited fairy, and there was a trace of spiritual energy around her—clearly a newly ascended immortal.
In this Southern Sun-Moon State of the Heavenly Realm, it had been a long time since anyone had seen such a beautiful newcomer.
Moreover, she seemed talented—a promising prospect.
Jiang Yumo’s thoughts shifted; he turned and suddenly appeared right before Huangfu Baizhi.
"Just ascended? Do you belong to any immortal sect?"
Indeed, Jiang Yumo harbored the intention to recruit.
And he could use the excuse of bringing newcomers back to his sect to probe his junior sister Qin Xihe.
Though Xu Manzhi and Ye Qiacang stubbornly denied knowing Ye Yu, Jiang Yumo was absolutely certain it was not a mere dream.
It must have been a real event.
Only, for some reason, time had reset with slight deviations.
Xu Manzhi’s forgetting that memory did not mean his junior sister had forgotten!
After all, she had loved Ye Yu to the point of life and death—how could she have no recollection?
Of course, if she had forgotten, that would be fine.
Then no one could compete with him!
Therefore, this test was necessary.
Huangfu Baizhi, seeing Jiang Yumo’s proactive approach, felt a bit cautious.
"Who are you?"
"Don’t be so tense. My name is Jiang Yumo, from the Yixing Pavilion Immortal Sect—an all-fairy sect. You look talented, so I wanted to invite you to join."
For some reason, the more Jiang Yumo looked at Huangfu Baizhi, the more pleasing she appeared.
No way around it—spirited women cut both men and women down.
Huangfu Baizhi said in a low voice, "I don’t intend to join any sect for now. But I have a question for you. Do you know where the Wuwei Pagoda Immortal Sect in the Central Heavenly Realm is?"
Jiang Yumo pondered briefly, then shook his head slightly.
The name Wuwei Pagoda was too unfamiliar; it was probably a small sect newly established after the Heavenly Realm catastrophe, so naturally, he didn’t know much.
"The Central Heavenly Realm is not peaceful now. I heard that the Three Corpses Hall’s evil immortals run rampant. For a newcomer like you to rush there is dangerous. I suggest you improve your cultivation first and only go when you can protect yourself.
Of course, maybe when I travel to the Central Heavenly Realm in the future, I can take you along!"
Hearing this, Huangfu Baizhi frowned slightly.
She had heard the name Three Corpses Hall from Ye Yu.
The situation in the Central Heavenly Realm seemed to be just as he said.
This fairy’s words made sense—if she charged blindly, she might not even find the way.
Besides, Ye Yu might not have arrived in the Heavenly Realm yet.
It was better to accept Jiang Yumo’s suggestion and wait a while.
Huangfu Baizhi had decided but still asked in a low voice, "How can I trust you?"
Jiang Yumo no longer restrained the immortal power within him; a terrifying pressure swept out.
"I am an Immortal King Realm!"
Those five simple words carried endless pride.
...
Xuanning State, Western Heavenly Realm.
Ye Yu’s brows furrowed tightly after finishing reading Qu You’s memories. There was good news and bad news.
The good news: Qu You came from the Underworld to the Heavenly Realm thanks to Ying Naiyan and Dong Kui.
Without these two opening the Tongtian gateway, Qu You wouldn’t have come.
This meant Ying Naiyan and Dong Kui had already arrived in the Heavenly Realm, though their exact location was unknown.
The bad news: Qu You had two brothers named Ting Yu and Fen Zhu.
They were called the Three Famished Fiends of the Underworld’s Soul-Sealing Pond.
All were originally hungry ghosts, each with Ghost King Realm cultivation. Even in the Heavenly Realm, they were undeniably top-tier strong.
Not only could they devour immortals alive to absorb their cultivation energy, they could even gnaw through immortal artifacts. Fortunately, the recently slain Immortal didn’t let one get a bite—otherwise, Ye Yu would have been heartbroken.
Moreover, the reason no Xuanning State immortals were found was because these three brothers had devoured them all.
Relying on their strength and extremely abnormal recovery abilities, they devoured over a thousand immortals.
As the number of immortals dwindled, the brothers grew dissatisfied and began dividing territories.
The eldest, Ting Yu, headed to the Central Heavenly Realm.
The second, Fen Zhu, went north.
The youngest, Qu You, stayed in the Western Heavenly Realm, using Xuanning State as his base, gradually expanding outward until the entire west was consumed.
That was why Ye Yu had only encountered Qu You but not the other two brothers.
Honestly, Ye Yu was almost stunned.
How could these three ghosts be allowed into the Heavenly Realm? They were pure troublemakers.
If left unchecked, whether they could reach Ghost Emperor Realm was uncertain, but they would definitely reach the peak Ghost King Realm.
When two peak Ghost King Realm beings stood there, it would be a new catastrophe for the lower-level immortals!
No way.
The eldest, Ting Yu, was the strongest. When they parted, he was about to reach the late Ghost King Realm.
He went to the Central Heavenly Realm.
That was Ye Yu’s home base. His wives were all there!
He absolutely could not let them meet, or it would be disastrous!
Realizing this, Ye Yu dared not delay and immediately sped toward the Central Heavenly Realm.
Two hours later,
he successfully arrived at the Central Heavenly Realm.
Ye Yu was relieved to see that it seemed largely unaffected; immortals still appeared frequently.
Moreover, a few reckless evil immortals even tried to attack him.
It seemed they really hadn’t died.
Ye Yu gladly fulfilled their wishes.
Thinking it through, according to Qu You’s memories, the Three Famished Fiends had only just split up.
The eldest Ting Yu had not been here long, so the ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) damage was limited.
After some time,
Ye Yu finally returned to the Wuwei Pagoda.
Having fought through the Demon Realm, Underworld, Monster Realm, and Mortal Realm, he had finally come back.
Recalling the past journey, it really had been difficult.
Ye Yu sighed and entered directly.
Here he met Zhu Diezhen, Shangguan Jiujiu, Xin Wan’en, and also Pei Chuxia, who had just ascended from the Demon Realm back to the Mortal Realm.
Wait, something was off!
The numbers didn’t add up.
Huangfu Baizhi aside—she had just ascended to the Heavenly Realm and didn’t know the routes yet, so it was normal for her to take time.
But Luo Ning, Jiang Jinhe, Ying Naiyan, and Dong Kui—where were these four?
By the time they should have arrived in the Heavenly Realm, it must have been almost a month.
They had all been told the name Wuwei Pagoda; they shouldn’t have failed to find it!
