Qiankun Grotto-Heaven Is An Actor

"None of these sects dare to offend the Yaoguang Holy Land."

"Sigh, it looks like I'll have to rely on myself..."

Huang Xuan left the Qiankun Grotto-Heaven with a sigh. He shot into the sky, piercing through the clouds and heading into the distance.

"If I had known the Yaoguang Holy Land was so overbearing, I should have destroyed them in my past life!"

Huang Xuan thought fiercely.

The Great Emperor was invincible in his time, capable of destroying any force with a single hand. Even a Supreme Dao Holy Land was a trivial matter!

But now, it was useless to say more.

He absolutely could not return to the Yaoguang Holy Land.

He could not go to any Supreme Dao force.

Living under an Emperor Weapon for a long time exposed him to too great a risk!

And it was unlikely anyone among the nine Immortal Sects of the Eastern Domain would take him in...

It seemed he could only join smaller sects for now and find a way to obtain more cultivation resources later.

"I remember the closest sect to here should be Yellow Wind Valley. I'll go there."

Huang Xuan confirmed his target and increased his speed, planning to head to the nearest city to take a Space Domain Gate.

The Eastern Domain was vast and boundless. If ordinary cultivators flew, it would take hundreds of years to reach its end.

For long journeys, besides top-tier powerhouses traversing the void, the fastest and most common method was to use a Space Domain Gate!

By teleporting to the closest Space Domain Gate to Yellow Wind Valley, he could save a lot of time.

"Young friend, please wait."

A grey-robed old man appeared on Huang Xuan's path forward, standing there with a smile.

"Who are you?"

Huang Xuan looked at him warily. They were high in the sky with no one around. If the old man had impure intentions, he would be in great danger.

Upon clearly seeing the Eight Trigrams Seal pattern on the grey-robed old man's chest, he suddenly realized, "You're from Qiankun Grotto-Heaven!"

"Indeed."

The grey-robed old man chuckled and looked Huang Xuan over with satisfaction, saying, "Are you willing to join my Qiankun Grotto-Heaven?"

Huang Xuan was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't you reject me? What is this charade?"

He then reacted and added, "You were just putting on a show for the Yaoguang Holy Land, weren't you?!"

"Young friend is indeed exceptionally intelligent."

The grey-robed old man nodded with a smile, becoming even more satisfied with Huang Xuan. Not only was his aptitude top-notch, but his mind was also sharp.

Talent like this was extremely rare nowadays.

That was why his Qiankun Grotto-Heaven was willing to take such a great risk to recruit Huang Xuan!

"So, will you consider it?" the grey-robed old man said.

He was confident that Huang Xuan would not refuse him!

As expected, under his expectant gaze, Huang Xuan nodded. Just as he was about to speak, a figure in white suddenly descended from the sky!

Hua Yunfei was truly impressed. This Qiankun Grotto-Heaven sect was quite the acting troupe.

Huang Xuan had nowhere else to go, and he could have easily recruited him into the Kaoshan Sect.

Unexpectedly, someone else intervened!

"Who are you, sir?"

The grey-robed old man stared vigilantly at Hua Yunfei. This person had descended from the sky, completely evading his divine sense until he appeared within his line of sight!

Hua Yunfei didn't waste words. He pointed at Huang Xuan and said, "Him, I want him. You can leave!"

"Uh..."

Huang Xuan looked at Hua Yunfei inexplicably. He didn't seem to know him, did he?

"Senior, you..." Huang Xuan tentatively began.

However, before he could finish, the grey-robed old man suddenly snorted and said, "Huang Xuan has just agreed to join my Qiankun Grotto-Heaven. It's not appropriate for you to interfere like this, sir."

If he couldn't see through Hua Yunfei's strength, he wouldn't have bothered talking so much.

"Indeed, it's not appropriate."

Hua Yunfei nodded. "But, so what?"

"You!"

The grey-robed old man's expression turned cold. This person was being rather unreasonable!

"How about this, to make it fair, we'll let Huang Xuan choose. If he chooses Qiankun Grotto-Heaven, I will leave immediately, no regrets."

Hua Yunfei wasn't being overly forceful.

"Alright!"

The old man in the grey robe's expression softened. Since the other party was willing to reason, things would be easier.

He looked at Huang Xuan and said, "Young friend, you just nodded, so you've agreed to return to Qiankun Grotto-Heaven with this old man, right?"

"Here, I can guarantee that as long as you agree, after you join the sect, resources will definitely be tilted towards you, and you'll be cultivated with great effort!"

Hearing this, Huang Xuan was tempted.

What he lacked most now were cultivation resources. With resources, he could rise rapidly.

He could also gain the strength to find the Xuanhuang Emperor's Mausoleum faster!

At this moment, Hua Yunfei transmitted a message to Huang Xuan, saying only four words!

Instantly, Huang Xuan's eyes widened, and then he suddenly looked at Hua Yunfei!

After a long silence, Huang Xuan looked at the old man in the grey robe and said, "I'm sorry, senior. I am willing to leave with this senior. I deeply appreciate Qiankun Grotto-Heaven's sincerity."

"Why? Didn't you just..."

The old man in the grey robe didn't believe him and wanted to press further, but Hua Yunfei interrupted him, saying, "Huang Xuan has already made his choice. Stop your nonsense and quickly return to the sect to report!"

"You!"

The old man in the grey robe's chest heaved, and he was so angry he almost made a move!

Damn it, the duck that was about to enter his mouth just flew away like this!

Who exactly was this guy who suddenly appeared, and what method did he use for Huang Xuan to choose him without hesitation?

"This angers me!"

The old man in the grey robe flicked his sleeve, his face looking grim as he charged into the distance, leaving in anger.

If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist making a move.

Suddenly, the corners of Hua Yunfei's mouth curled up. He stared directly at the retreating back of the old man in the grey robe, his pupils turning golden, with a deep purple glow in his eyes.

"Ah!"

The old man in the grey robe suddenly clutched his head and cried out in agony, his face contorted and ugly. He felt a powerful soul force surge into his sea of consciousness!

That soul force was forcibly altering his memories!

The old man in the grey robe wanted to resist, but to his surprise, with his Heavenly Human Realm cultivation, he was completely helpless against this sudden soul force!

In less than the time it takes for a cup of tea to steep, the old man in the grey robe stood there with a confused expression, muttering to himself:

"Huang Xuan has already disappeared. This kid is too fast. As expected of a top-tier prodigy, he's got some skills!"

"I'll go back and report to the Grotto-Lord. They shouldn't blame me for not finding him, right?"

His figure faded and disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, Hua Yunfei had already taken Huang Xuan and rushed into the higher layers of clouds, entering the Flying Boat hidden there.

"The environment is nice!"

Huang Xuan was indeed the reincarnation of a Great Emperor, having seen many things. This luxurious Flying Boat, which made the residual soul of a Sage covet it, was only described as "nice" by him.

Seeing the two return, Lin Yang and the other four immediately stepped forward.

None of them had met Huang Xuan before, and they looked at him with curiosity. Who was this person that Hua Yunfei personally went to pick up?

Huang Xuan, however, was not in the mood to pay attention to them. The four words Hua Yunfei had transmitted to him earlier still made his heart unable to calm down.

"Great Emperor Xuanhuang!"

These were the words Hua Yunfei had shouted at him, his tone extremely certain, as if he knew Great Emperor Xuanhuang was him, which was why he addressed him as such!

Huang Xuan didn't understand. He and Hua Yunfei had never met before. How did he know his identity?

Could it be...

This guy not only possessed an Ultimate Emperor Weapon but was also a Great Sage-level expert?!

To see through his identity, the lowest cultivation required would have to be Great Sage, or a Sage holding an Ultimate Emperor Weapon!

Others would have to use their divine sense to enter his body at close range and examine him thoroughly in all aspects before they might be able to figure it out.

But looking at Hua Yunfei, he wasn't holding an Ultimate Emperor Weapon, nor did his cultivation seem to be at the Great Sage realm.

Where was the problem?
