Chapter 176: Return to the Immortal Realm, Witness the Miracle!
Azure Mystic Celestial Mansion, all factions gather!
Shen Baixiu’s power is formidable, and he holds great prestige among the various Celestial Mansions. His call is still taken seriously by everyone!
Not long after, the leaders of the main factions within the major Celestial Mansions gathered once again.
It happened suddenly and somewhat mysteriously!
For a moment, many familiar friends among the attendees gathered together, whispering softly.
“How did this happen? Didn’t we just meet recently?”
“Immortal Shen, what’s the purpose of this gathering?”
“Haha, let’s not worry about it. It’s rare to gather like this. There will be plenty of good wine, so let’s drink up!”
“Indeed, let’s start with a toast!”
In the crowd, Ling Xiao sat in an inconspicuous corner at the edge of the immortal mountain, below which was a cliff thousands of feet deep.
He held a fishing rod, with a golden fishing line hanging down to the clouds…
If one didn’t know better, they might think he was fishing in the sea of clouds. In fact, his hook was cast hundreds of miles away into a large lake.
Others knew him as a dedicated fisherman and found nothing strange about it.
No one dared to disturb him.
At this moment, Ling Xiao seemed lost in thought, the fishing rod in his hand trembled, but he didn’t notice the fish on the hook.
His gaze occasionally drifted to the sky, a look of concern flashing in his eyes.
Ling Xiao sighed lightly, thinking to himself, “Sigh, can I really avoid this day?”
“d*mn it, that scoundrel Desolate Heaven Emperor stole my Celestial Mansion. Could he have really run off?”
Thinking of this, he had no more interest in fishing.
The reason Ling Xiao initially tried to cooperate with him and contacted Ye Xi was because of the diary he read.
In the diary…
He learned that the Desolate Heaven Emperor and the Celestial Court had long been enemies, and their conflict was irreconcilable.
Moreover, in the diary, Lin Feng said he wanted to play chess against heaven and win half a move!
In the diary, Lin Feng was a powerful, idealistic, ambitious, strategic, passionate, fearless, and rebellious person!
“But why hasn’t he appeared yet?”
“Where has he gone?”
Ling Xiao couldn’t help but doubt whether his judgment was wrong.
Could he have misjudged him?
The current situation was urgent; the Nine States and the major Celestial Mansions were on the brink of disaster!
After pondering for a moment, he shook his head.
Ling Xiao believed that no matter what, the Desolate Heaven Emperor wouldn’t be foolish enough to do something so extreme.
Hide?
When the three realms merge into one, whether it’s the Infinite Celestial Realm or the Celestial Court, once they gain absolute dominance, no cultivator can hide from them!
Everyone would be prey!
Including him!
This was also why Ling Xiao was willing to temporarily set aside his grudge and cooperate with the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
On the other side of Azure Mystic Mountain, Han Xingmian sat lazily.
She was dressed magnificently, beautiful beyond compare, like a vibrant flower in full bloom.
However, out of respect for her reputation, no one dared to sit within several meters of her.
Only she herself.
Han Xingmian scanned the area, frowning. Until now, Shen Baixiu hadn’t shown up.
Although she was anxious inside, she could only wait.
With the leaders of the major Celestial Mansions gathered, various exotic flowers, fruits, and rare fine wines naturally couldn’t be missed. Young and beautiful maidservants continuously served them.
In open areas of the mountain, female cultivators danced gracefully, playing music.
“Haha, Immortal Shen is truly busy. He still hasn’t shown up.”
“It’s fine, let’s wait a bit longer.”
“Anyway, we’ll continue dancing and drinking. It doesn’t matter if we wait a little longer!”
“Haha, indeed!”
Many of the Celestial Mansion leaders were somewhat dissatisfied, but they didn’t dare express it openly.
They were all present, yet Shen Baixiu, as the host, hadn’t arrived yet.
Wasn’t this too disrespectful?
So, after a while, a rainbow flashed across the sky and landed at the front.
Shen Baixiu smiled and bowed to the crowd, saying:
“I’m truly sorry for keeping everyone waiting. I had some urgent matters to attend to. Please accept my apologies!”
“No need, no need! We came early ourselves.”
“Yes, let’s have a few drinks first.”
Nine Heavens Sword Sect’s Qin Jian and a few others hurriedly stood up, flattering him.
Han Xingmian glanced at those people indifferently and sneered, muttering under her breath, “Flatterers!”
Then, she looked at Shen Wenshu and asked, “Immortal Shen, why don’t you tell us why you called us here?”
Immediately, many of the Celestial Mansion leaders nodded, as not everyone was so idle.
Eyes turned toward Shen Wenshu on the high platform.
The previous noisy atmosphere instantly quieted down, clearly showing that everyone wanted to know the reason.
Shen Wenshu still had a smile on his face, scanning the crowd.
Then he said, “I wouldn’t have called everyone here just to drink and reminisce, or for trivial matters. How could I trouble all the fellow daoists?”
Shen Wenshu’s voice suddenly rose, excitedly saying, “I’ve called you all here to share a significant piece of news, a huge piece of good news!”
“But, please allow me to keep it a secret for now!”
Shen Wenshu glanced at the sky, saying mysteriously, “It won’t take long. I assure you, everyone will find it worthwhile!”
“In the heavens, I will witness a miracle with all of you!”
After these words, there was another moment of silence.
Many faces showed confusion, wondering what was so mysterious.
Witness a miracle?
For these Celestial Mansion leaders, who were among the top figures in terms of cultivation and perspective, they had seen almost everything.
Things that ordinary cultivators yearned for were just common occurrences to them.
Miracles weren’t common to them!
But!
Hearing this from Shen Wenshu’s mouth made everyone anticipate it greatly.
“What could be so mysterious?”
Qin Jian stood up again, laughing, “Since Immortal Shen says so, it must be something extraordinary!”
“We’re already here… It doesn’t matter if we wait a bit longer.”
Qin Jian felt quite awkward. Last time, when dealing with Xuanqing Sect, he suffered a big loss and feared that Shen Wenshu might hold a grudge against him.
Fortunately, Shen Wenshu had been busy lately and had no time to deal with him.
Now, he naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to show off.
In the crowd, Xiao Xinghe, the patriarch of the Xiao family, sneered and bluntly said, “Some flatterers have truly disgraced our Purple Origin Celestial Mansion!”
“Look at how powerful the past generations of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect were. How could they become worse over time? Even a spineless person can be a sect leader!”
“Coward!”
His voice wasn’t loud, but it reached Qin Jian, who could hear clearly.
Qin Jian’s face turned red, glaring at Xiao Xinghe and gritting his teeth, “What did you say?”
Xiao Xinghe merely glanced at him coldly, unwilling to engage further!
Qin Jian could be insulted.
But he still gave face to Shen Wenshu and didn’t want to start a fight here.
It was enough to disgust him.
Qin Jian felt the glare from the surroundings, grinding his teeth in hatred, but dared not retaliate!
He could only sit back down angrily.
“I hope I don’t fall into your hands, otherwise… I’ll make sure your Xiao family is exterminated!”
Qin Jian could only think this to himself.
On the other side, Han Xingmian heard Shen Wenshu’s words and felt that the matter was even more complicated.
Her eyes flickered as she constantly pondered something.
Next, Shen Wenshu continued to invite everyone to drink, with various delicacies being served.
It seemed that he really just invited everyone to witness a miracle.
Time slowly passed.
On Azure Mystic Mountain, cups clinked, laughter echoed.
Suddenly!
A burst of dazzling light erupted far away in the sky, the clouds surged, space quaked, and a loud explosion sounded.
Glimmering rays of immortal light descended from another dimension.
Han Xingmian suddenly sat up straight, her chest trembling, her gaze narrowing.
This time, everyone raised their heads.
Their faces were filled with shock, their eyes fixed intently on that divine space.
“A perfect Dao law!”
“This is the Immortal Realm?”
“With such an Immortal Realm, why bother ascending to the Celestial Realm? We can directly transcend and become immortals! Haha, becoming immortals and founding a lineage is just around the corner!”
“But, how did an Immortal Realm suddenly appear?”
“It’s truly a miracle!”
At this moment, someone exclaimed in disbelief.
