Encountering the Profound Maiden Palace's Heavenly Prodigy Again

On Eastern Sea Island, at the Eastern Sea Academy, with its high gates and long eaves, shrouded in mist, the place was magnificent and awe-inspiring, attracting a constant stream of Confucian Scholars and a sea of people.

"Welcome, esteemed Immortal Maiden."

Saint Zeng, one of the four Senior Grandee of the Eastern Sea Academy, personally led the welcoming party, which included many Great Confucian at the Immortal Emperor Realm and God King Realm.

A gentle breeze swept by, and hundreds of graceful figures landed. Their Flying Swords returned to their sheaths. These Immortal Maiden were all of exceptional beauty, with bright eyes and white teeth, and their elegant figures captivated the young Confucian Scholars.

Is Palace Master Yan here?

Among these Immortal Maiden, a woman with an exceptionally beautiful Qingling Jueli appearance, dressed in a light green fairy dress, spoke in a gentle tone that was as refreshing as a spring breeze.

Saint Zeng respectfully replied, "Palace Master was worried about something happening and has not left Eastern Sea Island. The arrival of the Profound Maiden Palace has relieved the pressure on our Eastern Sea Academy. We have prepared guest rooms and invite all the Immortal Maiden to rest."

"Uncle Zou and the others are back."

A Confucian Scholar reminded Saint Zeng.

"It seems everything is going well for them; they've even had guests."

With a single glance, Saint Zeng across vast distances and had already spotted Saint Zou and Lu Changsheng flying on their swords.

The group from the Profound Maiden Palace also followed Saint Zeng's gaze and looked westward.

The four Senior Grandee of the Eastern Sea Academy are quite well-known in the Immortal Realm.

Saint Zou has been in the Immortality Realm for a long time and is now Eighth-Grade powerhouse, a figure of great importance.

To the west, thousands of Confucian Scholars returned on Flying Swords. One group was rather peculiar, possessing all sorts of Law Treasures, and a Big Yellow Dog was sunbathing on a gourd.

"It's you?!"

The woman in the light green fairy dress from the Profound Maiden Palace and Lu Changsheng stared at each other, recognizing one another.

This woman in the light green fairy dress is none other than Yuexi, the Profound Maiden Palace's Number One Prodigy who fought against Lu Changsheng at the Heavenly Court Assembly!

What are you doing here?

Lu Changsheng sheathed his Flying Sword and landed on the main hall square of the Eastern Sea Academy.

"I'm here on my master's orders... But what are you doing here?"

"Moon Immortal Maiden, I am the one who invites Young Friend Lu to visit the Eastern Sea Academy."

"You Eastern Sea Academy aren't afraid at all..."

Yuexi muttered to herself.

Everywhere Lu Changsheng goes, something big happens, and the Eastern Sea Academy still dares to invite Lu Changsheng over.

Yuexi scrutinized Lu Changsheng closely. Lu Changsheng's aura grew increasingly unfathomable, and his demeanor became more and more extraordinary. "You've also taken that step?"

"Same to you."

Lu Changsheng was also sizing up this Heavenly Prodigy from the Profound Maiden Palace.

Yuexi Peerless Beauty, like Divine Maiden, and only a handful of women like Xia Ningxue could compare to her.

These past years, I don't know where Yuexi has been cultivating, but she has also broken through to the Immortality Realm.

The peerless Heavenly Prodigy of the Eight Divine Palaces are all Peerless Genius, one in a billion.

The foundation of the Eight Divine Palaces is far deeper than Lu Changsheng imagined. During the turmoil of the Three Realms, the Eight Divine Palaces were willing to invest resources, and the growth rate of the Heavenly Prodigy of the Eight Divine Palaces was even more astonishing.

Yuexi's master is Sword Maiden Qiongxiao, ranked third among the Twelve Sword Maidens of the Profound Maiden Palace, and she herself possesses the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden Physique, so it's not surprising that her cultivation has improved rapidly.

"It is a great joy to have friends coming from afar. Since you have traveled so far, we extend a warm welcome. The Palace Master is currently practicing calligraphy and will receive you all in the Wencheng Hall in three days."

The Saint Zeng gestured for them to enter.

The two great Saint Zeng, Saint Zou, personally received the guests and hosted a welcoming banquet. The Eastern Sea Academy was packed with people, with all the wise men and women gathered, young and old alike.

Yuexi of the Profound Maiden Palace and Lu Changsheng of Taihua Mountain are both renowned geniuses in the Immortal Realm Heavenly Prodigy. Even if they cannot become the Great Emperor of the Human Race in the future, they will still be great figures on the same level as Su Wudi and Sword Maiden Qiongxiao, with potential even surpassing the four Senior Grandee of the Eastern Sea Academy.

A group of young Confucian Scholars from the Eastern Sea Academy, who were not qualified to attend, watched from the outside.

"Is that Immortal Maiden the Heavenly Prodigy Yuexi from the Profound Maiden Palace? She's beautiful, extremely beautiful. If I could win her heart, my life would be complete."

"I think you're overthinking it. Immortal Maiden Yuexi is like the bright moon in the sky; how could we mortals possibly reach her?"

"Sacred Lord Lu possesses Immortal Bearing and extraordinary handsomeness. If only I could become his dao companion."

"The disciples under Sacred Lord Lu are all exceptional individuals; to gain the favor of any one of them would be an opportunity that is extremely rare and hard to come by."

The group of young Confucian Scholars chatted amongst themselves, making the place a bustling hub of activity.

"Where are the other two Saints?"

When Yuexi met the four Senior Grandee, only Saint Zeng and Saint Zou were present; the whereabouts of the other two Saints were unknown.

Saint Zeng replied, "Saint Zheng and Saint Duanmu went to the Ancient Xu State and the Guzhu State respectively to save the common people and resist the Blood Sea Hall."

"The Blood Sea Hall has been cultivating Devil Cultivation Method at any cost, resulting in rapid advancement. Now, its power is immense, and it may require the combined efforts of all the Sects to suppress it."

"Yes..."

The Saint Zeng stroked his beard, and all the Great Confucian in the hall were filled with worry.

The young Confucian Scholars outside the hall, protected by the Barrier the Eastern Sea Academy, may not yet understand that the Three Realms are undergoing a Calamity, in which even Saints could easily perish.

Yuexi took a sip of the fine wine. "Is there anything unusual about the seabed near the Eastern Sea Academy?"

Saint Zeng, Saint Zou, and the other Great Confucian exchanged glances and shook their heads.

Lu Changsheng overheard their conversation and realized that the rumors he had read in ancient books might be true.

The mission of the Eastern Sea Academy, a Confucian Sect, is to guard the tombs buried in the endless seabed.

Yuexi's visit to the Eastern Sea Academy with a group of the Profound Maiden Palace disciples was likely related to this tomb.

Lu Changsheng originally only intended to visit the Eastern Sea Academy, but unexpectedly got involved in a High Antiquity tale.

Lu Changsheng spoke up to confirm his suspicions, "The Profound Maiden Palace sent you here, could it be to help the Eastern Sea Academy guard the underwater tomb?"

Yuexi and the Great Confucian of the Eastern Sea Academy were slightly surprised. "You knew?"

"It seems the rumors are true..."

Lu Changsheng smiled bitterly. This matter involved the Eastern Sea Academy and the Profound Maiden Palace, so it was probably not simple.

I don't know if getting involved in this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Rear Mountain the Eastern Sea Academy, in the Jade Garden, a young girl in white sat upright, holding Spirit Brush in her hand. Her black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, her gaze was calm as water, her face was expressionless, her lips were thin and light red, and her skin was fair and flawless.

A female disciple from the Confucian Sect walked in lightly. "Palace Master, people from the Profound Maiden Palace have arrived."

The girl in white didn't look up, but instead focused on copying the calligraphy. "Who's leading the group?"

"Sword Maiden Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden Yuexi, the Disciple of the Sword Maiden of Qiongxiao."

"Her cultivation level is still a bit lacking."

"Sword Maiden Qiongxiao is delayed by something, she will be here shortly."

"Um."

"Uncle Zou also invited Sacred Lord Lu of the Taihua Sacred Ground and his Disciples."

"Why are people from the Taihua Sacred Ground here too? Could it be Lu Changsheng, the one who defeated Imperial Son Ku?"

"Exactly."

"This person was able to defeat Supreme Emperor Body despite being of a higher level; he is worth meeting. Bring them to the Wencheng Hall to see me in three days."
