Chapter 178: It Must Be My Master Who Is Missing Me!
Infinite Celestial Realm!
Completely revealed, amidst the swirling mists, majestic mountains, and the resplendent celestial palaces…
And those ancient immortals.
Each one brought immense visual impact and heart-stirring awe!
“They have truly returned…”
On the Azure Mystic Celestial Mansion, the elders were immensely moved.
Their appearance proved that the vanished immortals were not harvested, but had merely gone to the Infinite Celestial Realm.
For them, this meant they could now safely undergo tribulation.
Suddenly!
Within the Infinite Immortal Domain, an elderly immortal with white temples flew forward on a crane, so everyone could clearly see his face.
Then, a loud voice echoed through the heavens and earth: “The three realms have merged, and the great calamity is imminent. We immortals should not be entangled in worldly affairs.”
“But! The Celestial Court has vanished, harvesting all.”
The crane rider paused for a moment, then sighed softly, saying: “We can only reappear among humans, hoping that all cultivators can weather this calamity.”
“The Celestial Court is too strong; it cannot be matched by the Infinite Celestial Realm!”
Continuing, the crane rider said: “Therefore, the gates of the Infinite Celestial Realm will open widely, hoping that the Nine States and various celestial mansions’ tribulation period cultivators can quickly ascend and help us!”
“For the sake of all living beings, let’s recreate the Celestial Court!”
His words carried far, thanks to his use of immortal arts, allowing many cultivators to hear them clearly.
At once, every cultivator who heard this was in an uproar, then their faces lit up with joy.
Whether for personal reasons or for the sake of all living beings, they should undergo tribulation and ascend!
Moreover, recreating the Celestial Court!
This was a huge temptation. Did it mean that once they appeared after undergoing tribulation and ascended to the Infinite Immortal Domain, their future would be boundless?
Once successful, they could become part of the recreated Celestial Court, bypassing hundreds of thousands of years of detours…
Even if they failed, it wouldn’t matter!
At least then they would have already become immortals, which is better than now!
After finishing, the crane rider solemnly bowed to everyone, then rode away on his crane.
The other immortals also slightly bowed and turned to fly into the celestial palaces, disappearing deep within the realm.
This scene made everyone envious and filled with emotion.
The major celestial mansions and Nine States cultivators discussed it fervently.
“How cool! No wonder these immortals are so long-lived!”
“Yes, why would anyone want to stay when there is such a paradise?”
“This time, if it weren’t for the great calamity, they wouldn’t have appeared. It’s so touching!”
“The aura in the celestial realm is so pure and dense. I don’t ask for much; just give me a celestial palace and a few beautiful immortals, and I’ll live in peace!”
“An opportunity has come! I’m going to undergo tribulation!”
“Haha, friends, we’ll meet again in the celestial realm.”
“I wonder if I’ll still have a diary to read after ascending?”

Azure Mystic Celestial Mansion.
The elders also withdrew their gazes, each with flickering eyes, unknown what they were thinking.
At this moment!
Han Xingmian took a deep breath and suddenly looked at Shen Baixiu, asking:
“Immortal Master Shen, did you know about the return of the Infinite Celestial Realm?”
As soon as he spoke, everyone turned to look at Shen Baixiu.
Their gaze was directed at him, seemingly casual.
But it was also the doubt in everyone’s hearts.
The Infinite Celestial Realm was merely a legend, so why would Shen Baixiu know about its return in advance?
Was there some unknown secret?
For these celestial mansion elders, they could ascend anytime, even if no issues had been found yet.

However, any hint of doubt must be clarified to feel at ease.
Even if they wanted to become immortals, they dared not risk their lives, so this question was particularly important to everyone present.
Shen Baixiu glanced at Han Xingmian, his expression proud and unflustered, then said:
“To be honest, I did receive the news in advance!”
Han Xingmian: “Oh? Why didn’t the other celestial mansions receive the news, yet you did?”
“Or perhaps, Immortal Master Shen has always been in contact with the Infinite Celestial Realm?”
At this point, Shen Tu Lie stepped forward, his face dark, saying: “What do you mean, Han Xingmian?”
“Why be so aggressive? Immortal Master Shen is not under your command from the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace!”
Shen Tu Lie paused, then scanned around and said: “Immortal Master Shen sincerely invited everyone to welcome the return of the celestial realm. Could it be that he intended to harm everyone?”
The atmosphere immediately became silent, and no one could respond.
So far, Shen Baixiu had done nothing wrong, so they couldn’t blame him.
But, the problem needed to be clarified.
Shen Tu Lie wanted to say more, but Shen Baixiu stopped him with a gesture, smiling at everyone: “I know everyone has doubts.”
He smiled bitterly and spread his hands, saying helplessly:
“To be honest, I only received the message from the celestial envoy three days ago, and I learned that the Infinite Celestial Realm actually exists and is about to return to the Nine States.”
“I immediately informed everyone upon receiving the message.”
Shen Baixiu continued confidently: “As for why the envoy chose me, I don’t know.”
“It might just be a coincidence.”
Han Xingmian frowned slightly but didn’t say anything further.
She naturally didn’t believe Shen Baixiu’s explanation.
But it was impossible to verify the truth; only Shen Baixiu knew.
Others also pondered silently…
Shen Baixiu’s explanation was reasonable. The celestial envoy choosing to inform the Azure Mystic Celestial Mansion might indeed be a coincidence.
After all, the Azure Mystic Celestial Mansion was one of the six super celestial mansions; notifying him was enough.
The envoy couldn’t notify every celestial mansion.
That would make the envoy seem too cheap!
Han Xingmian didn’t pursue it further, simply bidding farewell and leaving, as staying wouldn’t change anything.
“Immortal Master Shen, the return of the celestial realm is significant. I must also take my leave, thank you for your hospitality!”
“Yes! I must also take my leave.”
“Heh, wait for me, let’s go together, we’re on the same path!”
After Han Xingmian left, the other celestial mansion elders also bid farewell and departed. Today’s events were too shocking.
They needed to prepare for the impending changes.
Shen Baixiu didn’t try to stop them, smiling and seeing them off.
His purpose had been achieved.
Shen Baixiu knew that after today, regardless of whether they believed it now, their hearts would be shaken!
Before long, a large number of cultivators would undergo tribulation and ascend!
Only after everyone had left…
Shen Tu Lie grinned and remarked, “This move is truly ingenious!”
“Now, cultivators won’t have any doubts anymore, except for that demon, Han Xingmian.”
Shen Tu Lie’s eyes suddenly turned cold, filled with murderous intent.
Shen Baixiu remained calm, looking deeply at him, and said: “I know what you’re planning, but now, this woman can’t be touched!”
“At critical moments, one must remain composed. The Extreme Ice Celestial Palace’s strength is not as simple as we imagine. She still has her uses now!”
Shen Tu Lie reluctantly nodded, then sneered: “She can’t be touched, but someone else can. It’s perfect for making an example of someone!”
“Ye Xi, the disciple of the Desolate Heaven Emperor, is precisely our target. Let’s consider it interest for Ya Rou!”
Shen Baixiu thought for a moment, without speaking, tacitly agreeing.
To him, a small figure like Ye Xi was insignificant. Killing him would be killing him.
At this moment.
Under a tree on a mountain peak, Ye Xi suddenly sneezed, muttering:
“Is it because my master misses me? It must be!”
Ye Xi felt a sense of relief. He remembered that his master had once told him that this kind of situation meant a distant friend was worrying about him.
