Lu Chen was zoning out, looking into the distance, when the aura of an Immortal Venerate swiftly approached him.

In the next moment, Taihua Immortal Venerable's voice came from behind Lu Chen, "Lu, our last group of disciples has departed. I wonder if you could send a clone to accompany us to the Eastern Region?"

For the better part of the last six months, the Heavenly Splendor Hall had sent several batches of disciples to migrate to the Eastern Region. Since the Heavenly Splendor Hall had substantial properties and influence, it was not easy to relocate completely all at once. Moreover, many local forces of the Heavenly Splendor Hall were unwilling to leave the Southern Domain.

Initially, it would take at least ten years for the Heavenly Splendor Hall to fully migrate to the Eastern Domain. However, to leave before the Blood Ancestor emerges, they had no choice but to abandon some ancestral properties.

As for those families or forces reluctant to leave the Southern Domain, the Heavenly Splendor Hall did not force them, only asking them to hand over some treasures or Immortal Crystals.

Perhaps because the Divine Thought of Xiyue Immortal Emperor descended upon the Southern Domain, none of the local forces opposed the Heavenly Splendor Hall's departure. Furthermore, when the migration fleet of the Heavenly Splendor Hall passed through these forces' territories, they allowed them to pass unchallenged, as if they didn't see them.

However, even so, Taihua Immortal Venerable was still a bit worried. This was their last batch of people migrating to the Eastern Domain, and this fleet held many treasures and the heritage of the Heavenly Splendor Hall.

Throughout the journey, there might be some reckless individuals attempting to seize them. Despite the abundance of Immortal Venerates in this batch, who could safeguard the final fleet, witnessing the absolute suppression of immortals by Lu Chen's Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array made them feel reassured with him around.

Lu Chen naturally understood what Taihua Immortal Venerable was considering and turned, saying, "Of course, no problem, but..."

Lu Chen hesitated, suddenly remembering something.

"Your Immortal Venerates of the Heavenly Splendor Hall are preparing to migrate to the Eastern Domain. Shouldn't you also be waking up your former Hall Master?"

Hearing this, Taihua Immortal Venerable's heart skipped a beat, knowing it would come eventually.

Regarding Star River Immortal Venerate, he really wasn't sure how to handle it.

He advocated for eliminating Star River Immortal Venerate. After migrating to the Eastern Domain, Star River Immortal Venerate no longer served as his pillar of support and had no use to him.

But the other Immortal Venerates of the Heavenly Splendor Hall, including the Elders and disciples, certainly wouldn't like that approach.

Taihua Immortal Venerable hoped that Star River Immortal Venerable had already perished. Otherwise, if Lu Chen saw that the Heavenly Splendor Hall was unwilling to take action against Star River Immortal Venerate, he might develop some negative impressions.

Living under someone else's roof requires humility. Taihua Immortal Venerable sighed slightly and said, "Ever since the Heavenly Dao lifted the Realm restrictions, many Immortal Venerates have already broken through to the First Layer Heaven. By rights, someone with Star River Immortal Venerate's talents should have long broken through the First Layer Heaven and emerged."

"The fact that he hasn't emerged yet raises the suspicion that he might have already perished."

Upon hearing Taihua Immortal Venerable's words, Lu Chen furrowed his brow slightly. He didn't suspect Taihua Immortal Venerable of lying, as he had some understanding of the Heavenly Splendor Hall's current situation, having been there recently.

There indeed had been no news of Star River Immortal Venerate emerging, and previously, there were numerous rumors suggesting that Star River Immortal Venerate might have already perished within the Heavenly Splendor Hall.

Lu Chen couldn't help but wonder if Star River Immortal Venerate had truly perished. Then again, if an Immortal Venerate were to perish, the immortal power within them would return to the Tianyan Immortal Domain, potentially causing a resurgence of Immortal Aura within the Heavenly Splendor Hall.

However, aside from those few large-scale surges of Immortal Aura and during the time when Immortal Venerable Tianfeng perished, resulting in a resurgence of Immortal Aura, he hadn't heard of any other surges within the Heavenly Splendor Hall.

Thus, Star River Immortal Venerate likely remained in a self-sealed state.

Lu Chen knew that the Heavenly Splendor Hall was reluctant to take action against Star River Immortal Venerate and didn't put Taihua Immortal Venerable in a difficult position. Right now, he calmly remarked, "After all, Star River Immortal Venerate was your previous Hall Master. Before you leave, you should at least inform him. Don't let him come out of seclusion to find the entire Heavenly Splendor Hall gone, leaving him all alone. Imagine how disappointed he would be with you then."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, sweat formed on Taihua Immortal Venerable's brow. Somehow, he felt reminded by Lu Chen to dispose of Star River Immortal Venerate posthaste.

Taihua Immortal Venerable immediately said, "You're right, Lu. I'll go to his place of self-sealing to wake him shortly."

Lu Chen said, "Alright, you go do that. Just let me know when it's time to depart."

Taihua Immortal Venerable replied, "Thank you for your trouble, Lu."

After speaking, Taihua Immortal Venerable immediately turned and left, heading straight to Star River Immortal Venerate's place of self-sealing.

When Taihua Immortal Venerable arrived at the self-sealing location, he found the Immortal Venerates of the Heavenly Splendor Hall present, seeming to have anticipated his coming and waited for him.

Seeing the wary glances from the Immortal Venerates, Taihua Immortal Venerable understood they were there to prevent him from taking private action against Star River Immortal Venerate.

Although Star River Immortal Venerate was once powerful, his time had come, and his current strength was surely less than a tenth. Being in a self-sealed state made attacking him very easy.

Taihua Immortal Venerable cleared his throat and said, "I didn't expect you Elders to be here. That's perfect; we'll go in together."

Taihua Immortal Venerable then walked towards the massive stone door standing several meters high. Star River Immortal Venerate's self-sealing site was inside a mountain filled with numerous formations. The stone door was also enchanted, making entry challenging.

Taihua Immortal Venerable had visited before, intending to see if Star River Immortal Venerate had broken through to the First Layer Heaven. However, upon sensing the multitude of formations, he chose not to enter.

This time, they absolutely had to wake Star River Immortal Venerate, even if it meant finding a way to break through the formations.

Quickly, the Immortal Venerates followed Taihua Immortal Venerable to the stone door. As they approached the door, a powerful Immortal power burst forth from the cave, forcefully pushing everyone back, seemingly preventing them from entering.

Taihua Immortal Venerable turned to the Immortal Venerates behind him and said, "The formations around the Star River Hall Master's abode are numerous. To awaken him, we must break through. Juechen Immortal Venerable, you're proficient in formations; I'll leave the external formations to you."

Upon hearing Taihua Immortal Venerable's words, Juechen Immortal Venerable immediately stepped forward, "Alright."

Then, Juechen Immortal Venerable raised his hand, releasing a surge of immortal power towards the stone door. As the power neared the door, it was instantly repelled. After analyzing the formation type, Juechen Immortal Venerable remarked, "Just a standard sealing array. It shouldn't be difficult to break."

Speaking this, Juechen Immortal Venerable struck with a palm, opting to forcibly break the array.

Unexpectedly, as that strike landed, it seemed to trigger a mechanism.

The stone door suddenly unleashed a terrifying might, and before the Immortal Venerates could react, an overwhelming Immortal power sent them flying.
