After receiving a definite answer from Wan Xu Immortal Venerable, Lu Chen let out a deep sigh. He inexplicably gained another enemy.

In his past lives, he didn't even know how many enemies he had. The bizarre creatures were likely related to him, and now a Blood Ancestor emerged.

Moreover, this Blood Ancestor doesn't seem to be sealed. He could leave Blood Eagle Hall at any time and come looking for trouble.

However, if this Blood Ancestor really wanted to cause trouble, he should have left Blood Eagle Hall immediately after gathering intelligence about Lu Chen.

According to the memory of Evil Shadow Immortal King, the Blood Ancestor could easily aid the Blood Demon in becoming an Immortal Venerate, and the entire Blood Eagle Hall cultivated using his blood.

The Blood Ancestor has at least the strength above an Immortal Venerate, possibly even an Immortal Emperor. Such a powerful being, finding Lu should be effortless, not requiring others to search for him, which left Lu Chen somewhat confused.

Could it be...

Lu Chen suddenly had a suspicion in his mind. Could it be that the Blood Ancestor, despite his strength, remains in Blood Eagle Hall's Small World because he is severely injured and can't leave voluntarily?

Or is it possible that the Blood Ancestor, like the bizarre creature, is in a sealed state and can only move in specific locations?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen stopped overthinking. Since the Blood Ancestor hadn't come for him, it meant the Blood Ancestor had concerns, or perhaps he simply couldn't come for him actively. If so, there's nothing to worry about.

He didn't need to think too much. After all, he didn't know how many enemies his past incarnations had, and it didn't matter to have one more. He should focus his attention on enhancing his cultivation state.

...

Meanwhile.

Nine Heavens Institute.

High above the Nine Heavens Institute, in the clouds, Xuan Qingyun sat cross-legged and opened her eyes, sensing the immortal aura of Tianyan Immortal Domain increasing wildly. Xuan Qingyun immediately speculated the reason in her mind.

Her gaze shifted toward the direction of the Southern Domain, and she muttered to herself, "One perishes, all things thrive. At least it's a worthy demise."

Then Xuan Qingyun sent a message to the Immortal Venerates of the Nine Heavens Institute, "Within three days, all Immortal Venerates must come to me."

Upon hearing Xuan Qingyun's message, all the Immortal Venerates in the Northern Domain hurried toward the Nine Heavens Institute.

Knowing Xuan Qingyun had summoned all the Immortal Venerates of the Northern Domain, people there speculated whether Xuan Qingyun was ready to settle scores with the powers related to Azure Dragon Hall.

When all the Immortal Venerates of the Northern Domain gathered above the Nine Heavens Institute, Xuan Qingyun gave a cold glance at the gathered Immortal Venerates and then said to them, "A Great Power has fallen in the Southern Domain, and the entrance to the Small World where that Great Power lived during life has appeared in the Chaotic Zone. You can send people to seek opportunities."

Upon hearing these words, the present Immortal Venerates looked at each other.

A Great Power fallen?

It's impossible for an Immortal Emperor to call a Great Power merely an Immortal Venerate, right? Could it be an Immortal Emperor has fallen?

But the qi fortune of the current Tianyan Immortal Domain is declining and can't support the presence of multiple Immortal Emperors.

Realizing this, the Immortal Venerates suddenly understood.

Indeed, with Tianyan Immortal Domain's declining qi fortune, it can no longer support multiple Immortal Emperors. Since their Demon Emperor has already recovered his Immortal Emperor cultivation state, all the qi fortune has converged onto the Demon Emperor. Hence, the hidden Immortal Emperor naturally couldn't last long and fell.

If their speculation was true and indeed an Immortal Emperor had fallen, then the Small World of that Immortal Emperor probably holds countless opportunities.

At this thought, the gathered Immortal Venerates were full of excitement, eager to rush to the Chaotic Zone in the Southern Domain immediately.

At this moment, an Immortal Venerate openely asked, "My lord, is that Great Power of Immortal Emperor cultivation state?"

Xuan Qingyun replied flatly, "It can be considered of Immortal Emperor cultivation state, but the fallen one is not an Immortal."

Hearing Xuan Qingyun's reply, everyone was stunned again. Not an Immortal?

Does this world have other Great Powers besides Immortal Emperors?

Could it be a bizarre creature?

Xuan Qingyun continued, "Alright, prepare yourselves and set off. For now, not many know."

The crowd saw that Xuan Qingyun didn't plan to explain further, so they all respectfully said, "We shall follow Heavenly Maiden's decree."

With those words, the Immortal Venerates immediately set off towards the Southern Domain.

...

The Northern Domain's numerous Immortal Venerates heading to the Southern Domain could not have gone unnoticed by the other realms. Ever since Xuan Qingyun regained her Immortal Emperor cultivation, other realms' powers have been watching Nine Heavens Institute's every move, fearing the Demon Emperor might descend south.

Now, with Nine Heavens Institute suddenly sending so many Immortal Venerates south, and covertly too, other realms couldn't help but worry if the Demon Emperor had some new plans.

However, people didn't expect that the Immortal Venerates of Nine Heavens Institute didn't go to Barbaric lands to settle scores with the Azure Dragon Hall and its former Northern Domain powers, nor did they stop in the Central or Eastern Domains, but headed straight for the Southern Domain. They seemed to have a clear target.

Soon, various forces also began sending people to the Southern Domain to see what exactly was attracting the people from Nine Heavens Institute.

Time quickly passed, and years went by.

Beast Alliance.

In a pavilion on the summit of a mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, immortal cranes occasionally flew past.

Lu Chen, dressed in white robes with gold trim, sat on a stone bench in the pavilion, quietly sipping tea.

Since his current body followed Xiyue Immortal Venerable back to the Beast Alliance, she had been avoiding him all these years. Despite being provided with excellent food and drink on this mountain, he had not seen Xiyue Immortal Venerable even once.

Although he was treated well, his primary purpose for coming to the Beast Alliance was to get close to Xiyue Immortal Venerable and cultivate feelings with her. Without a chance to meet, how was he to cultivate feelings?

At that moment, a scent suddenly wafted into Lu Chen's nose, and he put down his teacup, slightly raised his nose, and sniffed the air, then said with a smile, "The person hasn't arrived, but the fragrance has. Xiyue Immortal Venerable's body is still so sweet."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Xiyue Immortal Venerable appeared in the pavilion. Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xiyue Immortal Venerable's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

What did he mean by her body still being so sweet? Did that imply he had touched her body before?

This was an insult to her!

Xiyue Immortal Venerable held back her anger, only considering him a mere clone, unworthy of her wrath.

Lu Chen then continued to ask, "I wonder what brings Xiyue Immortal Venerable here today?"

"Could it be that traces of the bizarre creatures were found in the Eastern Domain?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Xiyue Immortal Venerable chuckled lightly and said, "I thought, Lu, your divine skills were so vast that there was nothing you didn't know."

Then Xiyue Immortal Venerable directly said, "Do you know that the Nine Heavens Institute has been sending people to the Southern Domain recently?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen gazed in confusion at Xiyue Immortal Venerable. He indeed hadn't caught any wind of this matter.

The major forces were all secretly watching the movements of the Nine Heavens Institute's people, and even if they knew of the Nine Heavens Institute's actions, they dared not spread the news to avoid alerting the enemy.

Of course, the main reason they didn't dare to spread news of the Nine Heavens Institute was the fear of offending the Demon Emperor, so this matter was known only to the higher-ups of those major forces.

Lu Chen then said, "I didn't know about this. What did the Nine Heavens Institute send people to the Southern Domain for? Was it to reinforce the strange sealing at the Sunset Mountain Range?"
