There’s no denying it, the renowned Mountain God Yi Xun’s duty at the Six Thunder Arena today was the most boring of his rotation career.
He basically spent the whole day under the scorching sun, buffeted by the sea breeze, utterly bored.
Ti dragged on slowly, and as the challenge period ended, Yi Xun stretched lazily, preparing to return to do a day’s cultivation howork.
The Five Immortals Arena is extrely important, and it’s always guarded by the Grand Venerable’s direct disciples in turns, each serving for three years. Yi Xun had already been on the job for two years and eleven months.
In half a month, after the annual auction event on Five Immortals Island, his current rotation would end. The next ti it would be his turn to guard the Five Immortals Arena would be in twenty-seven years, allowing him a few free years.
At this mont, a Talisman Light suddenly descended from the sky, landing in Yi Xun’s hand.
For martial artists to send and receive Talisman Communications is an everyday occurrence, but when Yi Xun glanced at the Talisman Communication, his expression beca graver, and he quickly headed toward the Heavenly Fortune Hall of the Five Immortals Hall.
The ssage was from the Grand Venerable of the Five Immortals Hall and was quite simple, saying that he was to be summoned for an important matter.
It is known that under normal circumstances, the Grand Venerable of the Five Immortals Hall, who is also Yi Xun’s master, would only need to send a Talisman Communication when assigning tasks to Yi Xun. It was rare for such a formal summons to the hall to convey instructions.
This rare situation indirectly indicated the potential importance of the matter the Venerable wanted to address this ti.
"Greetings, Master." Upon reaching the Heavenly Fortune Hall, Yi Xun greeted respectfully, "May I ask why Master has summoned the disciple here, what important matter needs to be addressed?"
Dressed in black, with a streak of long beard floating under his chin, the Grand Venerable said nothing but handed a Jade Scroll to Yi Xun while transmitting a Divine Soul telecommunication, "This matter is of great importance, known only to us and not to be disclosed to anyone else. Destroy it after reading."
Receiving this instruction, Yi Xun’s expression beca extrely grave, using Divine Soul telecommunication even within the hall indicated the grave significance of this event, almost.... But after just a glance at the Jade Scroll, Yi Xun’s expression turned incredibly peculiar once again.
"Master, this.... just orders the disciple to wait there the whole night? What exactly should I do? I ask Master to give guidance?" Yi Xun transmitted a Divine Soul telecommunication, totally confused.
"You shall wait as stated in the Jade Scroll until dawn. What exactly to do, you’ll know when the opportunity arrives," the Grand Venerable replied.
"When the opportunity arrives....."
This statent left Yi Xun utterly bewildered, filled with mysterious implications.
However, as the Master was unwilling to elaborate, he couldn’t question further, having to accept this inexplicable task, crushing the Jade Scroll into powder in front of the Master.
"Oh, Master, today I saw people from the Heavenly Temple at the Five Immortals Arena. Have they co again?" Yi Xun asked.
"Sa old, was driven away by your master already! Rember, you absolutely must not be careless about that matter." The Grand Venerable reminded again.
Even after leaving the Heavenly Fortune Hall of the Five Immortals Hall, Yi Xun was still unclear why that seemingly confused matter was given such importance by his Master?
In fact, it’s not just Yi Xun who doesn’t understand, but his Master, the Grand Venerable, also didn’t comprehend the mystery within.
"Since the Supre Elder returned to seclusion, every single piece of advice given either brings imnse benefits to the Five Immortals Hall or helps the hall survive mysterious fortunes. This ti, however, is different from all previous occasions; what will happen?" After Yi Xun left, the Grand Venerable also murmured in confusion.
In fact, the order he gave to Yi Xun wasn’t his own idea but was directed by the Supre Elder. The sudden imperial decree from the Supre Elder instructed him to arrange in that manner, whose mystery he also doesn’t know.
.....
"Young master, those few bald n circled around Five Immortals Island, visited a few rchants, then went to the headquarters set by Five Immortals Hall on Five Immortals Island.
A guy nad Grand Venerable received that group of five; the bald leader said they were here under the Mountain Master’s order, personally delivering the Mountain Master’s handwritten Jade Book, speaking a lot of polite phrases.
Afterward, that Grand Venerable read the Jade Book and just ntioned the matter was of great importance and needed to consult the Supre Elder, though the Supre Elder was rarely seen. If and when they get directions from the Supre Elder, they’ll respond....."
Back at the Five Blessings Inn, Big Ears Nie Ting relayed everything he heard in full to Ye Zhen.
Unfortunately, this information alone still left Ye Zhen puzzled.
The so-called order from the Mountain Master given by the bald n from the Heavenly Temple, at the very least, must be a head figure from the Three Great Holy Lands of the Heavenly Temple, like the Green Dawn Peak Master, the Mountain Master of Thunder Prison Mountain, or the owner of Sun and Moon Heaven.
Suffice to say, that Jade Book being from the hands of these individuals was no simple matter.
Unfortunately, Ye Zhen didn’t know the specific content.
Based on this alone, Ye Zhen could only discern a connection between the Five Immortals Hall and the Heavenly Temple, but what exact relationship was unclear.
However, from what is observed now, they are definitely not enemies.
The only unexpected finding is the Supre Elder!
The Five Immortals Hall has soone even the Grand Venerable calls Supre Elder.
Disciples of the several Venerables of the Five Immortals Hall, like Yi Xun, Cui Shi, etc., all have the cultivation at the Peak of Ninth Stage Realm King Realm, stuck at the Dao Realm bottleneck.
Thus, it’s deduced that several Venerables of the Five Immortals Hall are likely people of the Dao Realm.
It’s only with several Dao Realm existences that the Five Immortals Hall can guard such a vast foundation, keeping powerful entities at bay.
Ye Zhen previously thought the Dao Realm was the highest force in the Five Immortals Hall, but unexpectedly, there was still a Supre Elder.
Then what sort of cultivation would this Supre Elder possess?
"Young master, soone is coming." Before Ye Zhen sensed it, Big Ears Nie Ting’s ears twitched, then turned and walked towards the courtyard gate.
A few breaths later, Big Ears Nie Ting, with a strange expression, side-stepped, accurately speaking, was forced to give way as three pale-faced, gray-robed n were slowly pushed inside.
Notably, the leading pale-faced man, with the aura of Eighth Stage of Realm King Realm, was particularly terrifying, rendering Big Ears’s face exceedingly pale.
Ye Zhen’s perception, however, was entirely different from that of Big Ears.
Ye Zhen perceived a massive influx of chilling Yin energy brought in by those three pale-faced n.
The courtyard felt like stepping into the presence of three cold poisonous serpents; a re glance could send chills down one’s spine.
The Nine-Headed Beast in the grass was already sticking out several heads, eyes flashing fiercely, and the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten had mysterious black patterns undulating on its wings.
At one side of the courtyard, Ling Qianbi who had been brewing tea suddenly stood up like a drawn sword, an imnse Divine Soul Aura surged overwhelmingly in every direction.
Just as Ye Zhen was about to summon the Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire to dispel the chilling Yin energy, the lead pale-faced man suddenly spoke up.
The distinctive raspy voice left Ye Zhen montarily stunned.
