Chapter 175: Two Major Celestial Mansions in the Darkness!
Extreme Ice Celestial Palace.
Han Xingmian couldn’t get any information out of Ya Rou, so she turned her back into an ice sculpture again.
She wasn’t in a hurry.
After all these years, this woman refused to say anything, and Han Xingmian didn’t have much hope this time either.
After a moment, Han Xingmian stood in the long corridor outside the palace, watching the snowflakes fall gently, lost in thought.
“The truth will be revealed soon!”
She murmured softly, worrying about Lin Feng again. She wondered how he was doing now?
In no time, a few days passed.
On this day, Han Xingmian was meditating in the palace when she suddenly felt something and opened her eyes abruptly.
A glint of sharpness flashed in her eyes, and then her figure flickered, appearing in the main hall.
Soon after, Su Sha rushed in hurriedly.
Han Xingmian frowned slightly and asked, “What’s the matter?”
She knew that if it weren’t an urgent matter, Su Sha wouldn’t come looking for her at this time!
Su Sha, dressed in a light blue palace gown, respectfully said, “Mistress, Shen Baixiu from Azure Mystic Celestial Mansion has sent a message, inviting the leaders of all major Celestial Mansions to gather at Cangxuan Mountain in three days!”
Cangxuan Mountain was where Shen Baixiu’s cave residence was located.
Major Celestial Mansions usually had dedicated institutions to communicate with each other for easy exchange of information.
Han Xingmian looked puzzled upon hearing this. They had just gathered not long ago, and now another meeting?
What could be so urgent?
After all, the leaders of major Celestial Mansions were not idle; they didn’t just go out for tea.
Although Shen Baixiu had considerable prestige, he wouldn’t invite everyone for trivial matters.
“There must be some significant event!”
Han Xingmian quickly made up her mind and nodded, saying, “I understand!”
After Su Sha conveyed the message, she withdrew respectfully.
Han Xingmian paced slowly in the main hall alone. She had a vague feeling that this sudden invitation was not simple.
But she had to go!
Han Xingmian’s eyes flashed with determination. No matter what, she would first go and see.
There was still time in the next three days for her to prepare.

On the other side,
Qiongying Celestial Mansion was vast, and not all areas were covered by ice and snow. There were also many places with unique landscapes and dense spiritual energy.
At this moment, on the peak of a ten-thousand-foot mountain.
Ye Xi was sitting under a tree when he suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of confusion in them.
“Strange…”
He had been cultivating in Qiongying Celestial Mansion for these days.
Since returning to the Celestial Mansion, Ye Xi deeply realized his own shortcomings. Although he cultivated a more complete Great Dao,
those were teachings from Lin Feng. Due to the incomplete Great Dao of the Nine States, he lacked personal insights, and his cultivation level was far behind true Celestial Mansion cultivators.
During this period, his cultivation and understanding of the Great Dao in Qiongying Celestial Mansion had greatly improved.
His combat power had undergone earth-shattering changes as well.
Ye Xi was confident that, apart from the few Master’s Wives who were exceptionally powerful, most Celestial Mansion cultivators would not be his match.
But today, he encountered something strange during his cultivation.
A red glow flashed across the sky.

Zhuang Hongyi landed not far away, somewhat surprised, and asked, “Ye Xi, what’s wrong? Not cultivating anymore?”
Ye Xi had been in seclusion, and she was guarding him.
Ye Xi glanced at her and pondered for a moment before speaking earnestly:
“A few days ago, I sensed the Great Dao, and in the depths of my meditation, I felt there was another Celestial Mansion returning in the void!”
“The laws within that Celestial Mansion are more comprehensive than any existing one, like a paradise!”
Zhuang Hongyi’s pupils dilated slightly: “Another Celestial Mansion?”
She paused and added, “It’s not strange at all!”
With the return of multiple Celestial Mansions, it was possible that Ye Xi, sensing too deeply, might have detected the ones they currently knew about.
Ye Xi shook his head, his face showing a peculiar expression: “Just now, I delved too deep and sensed another Celestial Mansion. The laws of this Celestial Mansion are even more complete than the previous one.”
“That Celestial Mansion is also slowly returning to the Nine States!”
As Ye Xi spoke, his expression became serious: “I’m sure it’s not an illusion, meaning there are at least two Celestial Mansions with more complete laws hidden in the dark!”
“Could there be any conspiracy?”
This discovery made him think further. The current situation was indeed quite delicate.
Ye Xi knew that those lurking in the darkness, harvesting the ‘wheat’, were definitely observing every move in the Nine States from unknown locations.
They were waiting for their chance to reveal their scythes!
“But…”
“Why does one feel familiar?”
Just now, when he delved into the Great Dao, the laws of that Celestial Mansion seemed extremely compatible with his own cultivation.
Zhuang Hongyi was stunned upon hearing this. Another two Celestial Mansions? Their laws were even more complete?
Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she said, “Could it be the Celestial Realm?”
The Celestial Realm was also returning to the Three Realms, but due to its vast size, it hadn’t returned yet.
Ye Xi had once suspected this, but quickly dismissed it.
Even the Celestial Realm couldn’t have two of them.
And in his hazy perception, those two Celestial Mansions were not particularly large.
Ye Xi thought for a moment and still felt uneasy. He decided he should inform Han Xingmian immediately.
“Miss Zhuang Hongyi, please wait here for a moment. I’ll be right back!”
Zhuang Hongyi nodded and smiled, “Go ahead.”
Before long, Ye Xi arrived at the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace. It was difficult for others to enter this mysterious palace.
But for him, it was smooth sailing.
Soon, Ye Xi met Han Xingmian and repeated his suspicions to her.
Han Xingmian was also surprised after hearing this: “Is that really possible?”
She thought for a moment and then asked, “Why didn’t I sense anything like that?”
Ye Xi pondered for a while and said, “Perhaps it’s because of the nature of the Great Dao I cultivate.”
“All the Great Dao I’ve cultivated were taught by Master. Though not perfect, they are complex and encompass everything!”
Ye Xi continued:
“After entering the Celestial Mansion to cultivate, my understanding of the Great Dao greatly improved, allowing me to sense the more complete Celestial Mansion in the void.”
Han Xingmian nodded, acknowledging this possibility.
Ye Xi pondered for a moment and added, “Another possibility is that those two Celestial Mansions are indeed returning, which is why my senses have become stronger.”
Han Xingmian fell silent after hearing this. She sensed something amiss.
If there were more complete Celestial Mansions, and no one knew about them, it was abnormal.
Abnormal events often meant something fishy was going on.
Han Xingmian’s heart stirred, her eyes narrowing slightly: “Could it be that Shen Wenshu’s broad invitation to the leaders of major Celestial Mansions is related to this matter?”
Things were becoming increasingly interesting.
After discussing for a while longer, Ye Xi left the Celestial Palace.
