"He's called Zhong Huai. He's from Tianyu Ancient Village."
"But he's been stationed at Demon Port for a long time. He's currently leading a fleet out to sea and may need several months before he can return."
Liu Yuanyuan replied.
Tianyu Ancient Village?
And he was stationed at Demon Port?

That was perfect.
He had been looking for them.
"Good."
"Once we leave, I'll wait by the sea for him to return." Jiang Qiao glanced at Liu Yuanyuan. This woman had probably revealed the information in hopes of luring him to Demon Port.
But it didn't matter. He was already in Demon Port.

Something was probably about to happen.

[Shedding Mortality and Ascending to Immortality]
The words "ascending to immortality" overlapped with the "Receive Souls and Ascend to Immortality" on the Soul-Calling Banner. "Ascending to immortality" was easy enough to understand—it meant becoming an Immortal.

This term was more commonly associated with dead spirits going to the underworld or summoning wandering ghosts and spirits from outside. How could it also lead to ascending to immortality?
"Ever since I came into contact with the people from the Nether Sea,"
"I keep encountering information related to Immortals."
"For example, the Great Qi Dynasty had many legends about Immortals. Great Qi's founding ancestor was a remnant of the Return Journey Research Institute, an old monster who escaped from the Nether Sea."
"And there's Blue Star."
