The Bewildering Immortal Temple Grand Gathering, a far loftier affair than the Little Solitary Mountain Gathering where rogue cultivators convened, was not held amid the mountains, forests, pools, and marshes of the Divine Fire Immortal Domain. Instead, it was located within a secret realm jointly controlled by various sects in the central region.
Rogue cultivators found this secret realm difficult to locate.
More than ten days later, Suxin took out a silver-white token and shattered the illusion, using her mana to reveal a corner of the secret realm's scenery. Only then did Wei Tu, who had been following behind her, realize that their group had arrived at the "Bewildering Immortal Temple."
"It is not that our immortal sects are guarding against rogue cultivators. There are simply too many of them, a mixed bag of good and bad, and no shortage of spies from foreign races among them... For the safety of the immortal sect cultivators, we have no choice but to take this measure..."
Suxin parted her crimson lips and explained this to guest elders like Wei Tu, who were attending the Bewildering Immortal Temple for the first time.
As her words fell—
The Azure Spirit Sect guest elders all showed faint looks of realization, their minds considerably eased.
Wei Tu, too, nodded to himself, inwardly agreeing.
He had personally experienced the Ghost Shadow Palace and the Mist Ghost Clan's incursions into the human realm. When it came to vigilance against foreign races, he had far more right to speak on the matter than the rogue cultivator community tucked away safely in the rear of the Divine Fire Immortal Domain.
—Such precautions were indeed necessary against foreign races.
Certainly, this would drive a wedge between rogue cultivators and immortal sect cultivators, leading to vicious incidents such as Qiao Menghan being
