Azure Cloud's Grand Occasion, Each Going Their Own Way
The palace complex of the sect leader 'Direct Disciple is a magnificent palace filled with an aura of Immortal Qi.
"When Azure Cloud Sect opens its sect, it will unify the Immortal Realm!"
"The wind rises, the clouds sway, even gods bow their heads and immortals are bewildered!"
"The great changes in the Immortal Realm are about to begin with us."
Lin Bai, dressed in the robes of Direct Disciple, casually recited the poem while shaking his head.
"Not bad, junior brother, the quality of your recent works has indeed improved a lot."
Faced with his senior brother Shi Hao's praise, Lin Bai quickly waved his hand and laughed, "Haha, thank you for the praise, senior brother. It's just basic stuff."
Inside the Immortal Palace, the four disciples— Shi Hao the First Personal Disciple), Lin Bai (the second disciple), Hua Qingyu the third disciple), and Lin Feng the Fourth Disciple)—sat facing each other at the amethyst immortal table.
"Eldest brother, second brother, do you have any thoughts on the training mission that Master has issued this time?"
Hearing his junior sister's words, Shi Hao pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's go to the Immortal Rainbow Dao Domain."
"As you just heard, Sequence Disciple Yun Lan and the other disciples are going to the Nine Heavens Dao Domain. Since there are many of them, let's leave the Nine Heavens Dao Domain to them."
"Let's go to Xianhong and strive to take over all of Xianhong's Xianzhou as soon as possible to set an example for the other junior brothers and sisters in the sect."
"I agree with what the senior brother said," said Lin Feng, the junior brother who had not said a word yet, raising his hand in agreement.
"My Grandfather can also help us; he will come with us to the Immortal Rainbow Dao Domain."
Lin Feng's Grandfather, Lin Anye, was once the Gravekeeper the Heaven Desolate Immortal Tomb An Ye Immortal Emperor. He has long since broken through to the Immortal Venerable level and become a Seven-Star Gold-Rank Elder in the Elder Division.
"Good, with Elder Lin's help, we have gained another strength."
Following that, Hua Qingyu also suggested that she could ask Senior Shui Xian for help. She had the closest relationship with Mu Shuixian, the Grand Elder the Inner Sect, among the elders in the sect, and they had a connection before she even joined the sect.
The former Water Immortal Empress of the Barren Martial Realm has now reached the Immortal Venerable Realm. It's just unknown whether she still remembers the 100,000-year Great Dao Contract she signed before joining the sect...
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao nodded again. "Let's not trouble the other elders for now. We'll talk about it after we've established ourselves in the Immortal Rainbow Dao Domain."
In terms of connections within the sect, no one can compare to them except the sect leader. If they wanted to, they could summon most of the elders with just a word.
"By the way, Senior Brother, Black Emperor and Little White just contacted me with their tokens. They want to join us on the mission."
"Oh? Aren't Black Emperor and the others overseeing the construction of Sky City? It seems our Azure Cloud Sky City is nearing completion. Let's head ahead and await the arrival of Black Emperor and Little White."
Both the Black Emperor and Little White were at the peak of the Immortal Venerable realm, just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the God Lord realm. With these two great helpers, they were now even more formidable.
After Shi Hao finished speaking, the four of them discussed the details and plans for the mission.
They plan to support a small force to compete, as small forces are easier to control and their loyalty to the sect is easier to manage, while they can also gain perfect training. Of course, this is all just theoretical for now, and everything will depend on the circumstances.
After the group finished discussing, Lin Feng suddenly added, "By the way, I wonder where Ye Daozi will go."
This Ye Daozi is particularly mysterious; he is the second person in the sect, besides his master, whom he cannot see through.
Not to mention his extraordinary talent, he is also very mature in his actions and speech, despite being the same age. His face and eyes are usually calm and composed, and he is as steady as an old dog with no flaws!
"It seems that Ye Daozi went to the Nine Heavens Dao Domain. He looks like he has something on his mind, which is different from his usual state."
At the same time, it wasn't just them who were discussing it; more than 80% of the elders and disciples of the entire sect were also discussing it, each going their own way.
The Northern Sea Dragon Clan on the back mountain of Azure Cloud Immortal Peak, together with the Ancient Demon Heavenly Court's former subordinates from Ao Yuan and Ao Yu's side, planned to join forces to travel to other continents in the Ancient Azure Dao Domain. The team they formed was also unprecedentedly powerful.
In the Core Disciple area, senior brother Gu Jianfan and senior sister Gu Linglong were also organizing manpower. Almost all the Core Disciple were involved, except for one person...
The same applies to both the inner and outer sects. The senior disciple of the outer sect Ji Ni Tai Mei, even declared that he would establish a small force Ji Sect to compete in the various immortal continents.
In a small courtyard within the inner sect, Zhao Jinzhu, dressed in the robes of an Inner Sect Disciple, stared in astonishment, his mouth agape.
"Brother Li, are you really sure about this?"
"I thought you would act with your Core Disciple, but I didn't expect you to go this far!"
"Brother Li, listen to me! The two of us are too weak to compete and our lives are in danger at any time!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yin, dressed in the attire of Core Disciple, simply shook his head. "Brother Zhao, I've only come to say goodbye. Let's meet again when I return."
"Under the protection of the sect, I will never grow up. I am not reconciled. I, Li Yin, must make a name for myself in this Immortal Realm and serve the sect!"
Li Yin's eyes were firm, and his white hair made him appear both godlike and demonic.
At this moment, Zhao Jinzhu seemed to see again the fearless youth on the Ascension Road in the Lower Heavens Desert, who was unafraid of powerful enemies, refused to accept his fate, and would fight back even if he fell into the demonic path.
"Damn! Let's finish! We're the best partners, neither of us can be missing!"
"Brother Li, I may not have much else, but I have plenty of magical treasures. Don't worry about the resources. If it's not enough, I'll get some from my master first. If that doesn't work, I'll get my master to help me out!"
Time slowly passed.
The next morning.
Today is the opening day of the Pill Refining Conference, which is scheduled to begin promptly at Shen Hour Third Quarter (around 4:45 PM in modern times). Tens of millions of alchemists have already flocked to Penglai Immortal Island.
Of course, there will be far fewer alchemists actually participating in the conference; many of them will just be there to make up the numbers or simply to observe.
Penglai Immortal Island is large enough to accommodate even twice as many alchemists as there are now, and there is no need to worry about order. In order to cope with this conference, the forces on the island have mobilized almost all their strongmen to patrol the entire island continuously for twelve hours.
Of course, with the deterrent power of the God Abyss Pill Pavilion, few alchemists would dare to cause trouble today, unless they wanted to lose their secure job in alchemy.
"Wow! This is truly a rare grand occasion for the Alchemist Realm! There are so many people here this time, even more than at the last conference."
"Absolutely! Let me tell you, this is not the limit at all. There will be even more people coming around noon. I heard that nearly 80% of the alchemists from the Upper Three Dao Domains will be here for this Pill Refining Conference!"
"Holy crap! Eighty percent? That's terrifying! Is there some big event happening this year?"
"You don't know yet? The new generation's chief disciple of the Pill Pavilion will personally lead the team to this conference, and there's also the most important thing! I heard that a senior from the Pill Pavilion will also be coming!"
