Qing Wangchuan Emerges!

Yin Qiyue smiled sweetly, her beauty captivating, yet she possessed an aura of authority.

"Patriarch Xu, you flatter us. Since Young Master has arranged for you all to come, the Wen Dao Palace will naturally do its best to receive you. From now on, we will all serve under Young Master, so there is no need for such formalities."

You may call me Qiyue.

Her words were kind, yet they Xu Father dare not be negligent in the slightest.

He had inquired before coming and learned that Yin Qiyue seemed to have a close relationship with the Young Master, which made him even more cautious.

"I wonder what exactly you have arranged for us to do here, Young Master? I just heard my son say that we are to look after some juniors who have just arrived in Middle Thousand Provinces?" Xu Father asked cautiously.

Yin Qiyue took a sip of tea, a barely perceptible glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes:

"Indeed. The Wen Dao Palace grows stronger, but it also becomes increasingly dangerous."

"Patriarch is experienced, and your son is a promising young man. It would be most suitable for you to guide and look after him."

Upon hearing this, Xu Father felt somewhat relieved. The task didn't seem dangerous at all; it was more like a sign of trust and a commitment from the Young Master. He quickly agreed.

"I will certainly live up to the expectations of the Young Master and Palace Master Yin!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe, whose aura was as deep as the ocean and who had been silent all along, slowly spoke, his voice booming like a bell:

"Young Master's judgment is certainly correct. There's no need to be so reserved; now that you've entered the Wen Dao Palace, you're one of us."

"My name is Chen Yan, and I am the Patriarch the Upper Thousand Provinces Chen Clan."

"List...?"

"Could it be the Chen Clan of the Xuantian Pavilion?" Upon hearing this, Xu Father gasped sharply, his face instantly filled with astonishment. "The Xuantian Pavilion reflects Myriad Realms and possesses all kinds of treasures. To actually meet the Pavilion Master today!"

Chen Yan nodded calmly, as if it were merely an insignificant background detail, his tone placid. "Indeed. But it's all just inherited wealth, not worth mentioning."

However, beneath his calm and composed face, a surge of wild joy was brewing in his heart, and he almost couldn't help but let out a long roar!

Finally! Finally, someone recognizes me!

Moreover, he's a newly arrived confidant of the Young Master!

He recognizes the Chen Clan of the Xuantian Pavilion! He knows of my clan's prestige! Does this mean... my name, my sacrifices, have reached the Young Master's ears? Have I... finally caught the Young Master's eye?!

Over the years, Chen Yan has condescended to be here but has never sought an introduction, precisely so that the Young Master may see his value.

It was definitely worth the effort; this moment is the best proof!

Chen Yan suppressed his inner excitement, striving to maintain the demeanor of a reclusive master, but his gaze towards Xu Father unconsciously softened, even carrying a hint of barely perceptible admiration.

Although this person's cultivation level is low, he has a keen eye!

"May I ask your esteemed name?" Chen Yan asked in a gentle tone, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Xu Father immediately straightened his posture, his face displaying the solemn expression befitting the head of the family. He instinctively prepared to introduce himself in the name of the Lineage:

"My name is Xu Hui, and I am [...]!"

As soon as he spoke, Xu Hui suddenly realized something, as if he had choked on something, and quickly stopped talking.

His originally straight back stiffened almost imperceptibly, and a fleeting look of dejection and embarrassment crossed his face.

"Please forgive me... I haven't Lower Realm for so long, I've forgotten the rules."

He paused, and when he spoke again, his tone was tinged with complexity and bitterness, and his voice was slightly lower:

"I am the Former Clan Head Xu Clan of the Dayan Dynasty Heaven Above Heaven Emperor."

Xu Hui deliberately emphasized the word "before" with a barely perceptible pause, then shook his head self-deprecatingly and gave a bitter smile.

"To my shame, my family has recently encountered many misfortunes and turmoil, with many... unpleasant things happening."

His words seemed to contain a thousand unspoken thoughts, yet they could not be fully expressed. In the end, they turned into a soft sigh, "Fortunately, there is always a way out. Thanks to your mercy and assistance, Young Master, I was able to preserve my crippled body and find this place to settle down."

"Wait a minute?!"

Chen Yan's composure shattered instantly. He abruptly stood up, completely unaware that his teacup had been knocked over.

He forced a smile at Xu Hui and Yin Qiyue, his voice trembling slightly. "Palace Master Yin, please come with me!"

The two went out into the hallway.

Before Yin Qiyue could ask a question, Chen Yan suddenly waved his hand and set up a soundproof barrier. He could no longer suppress the turmoil in his heart.

He suddenly grabbed his hair like a teenager, letting out a suppressed, almost screaming growl from his throat:

"Heaven Above Heaven! He actually comes from Heaven Above Heaven!! How could he possibly come from Heaven Above Heaven!!!"

Yin Qiyue was startled by his sudden loss of composure, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

"Senior Chen, what's wrong...?"

She looked at the usually composed and powerful Patriarch the Chen Clan family, a figure of great influence in the Upper Thousand Provinces, who now seemed to have gone mad, and her heart was filled with doubt.

Could it be that she regretted everything she had done because she felt the Young Master wasn't from Upper Thousand Provinces? She was just about to say something to comfort him—

But then Chen Yan suddenly turned around, and with a thud, knelt down directly in front of her, his head bowed deeply, his voice trembling violently with extreme excitement and awe:

"Palace Master Yin! Fairy Qiyue! I... no, your subordinate Chen Yan, am willing to serve you from now on, and follow your lead without question! If you order me east, I would never dare to go west! I only ask... I only ask that you, Fairy, put in a good word for the Chen Clan before the Young Master in the future!"

Startled by this unexpected and generous Grand Gift, Yin Qiyue took a half-step back and hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"Senior Chen! What are you doing? Please get up! You're making me feel terrible! What happened? Heaven Above Heaven... what kind of place is that?" She keenly caught the key words, and her heart was filled with doubts.

Chen Yan was helped up by her, but his body was still trembling slightly from excitement.

"Although I had suspected it before, I didn't expect it to be true!"

He took several deep breaths to barely suppress his surging emotions, and looking into Yin Qiyue's beautiful eyes, which still held a hint of confusion, he quickly explained in a hoarse voice:

"Palace Master Yin, don't you understand yet?! This person comes from the Heaven Above Heaven! The Heaven Above Heaven! What does this mean?"

"This means that the Young Master is not from the Upper Thousand Provinces at all, but from the Heaven Above Heaven!"

As he spoke, Chen Yan couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I knew it, I knew why they were giving away Nine-Turn Pill like they were free..."

"The Heaven Above Heaven... what exactly is that place?" Yin Qiyue pressed, vaguely sensing that she had touched upon a level far beyond her imagination.

This is the fourth time I've heard those three words.

Yin Qiyue didn't understand what these words meant, but Chen Yan did!

Chen Yan's eyes revealed boundless awe and longing, his tone urgent yet incredibly clear:

"The Lower Thousand Provinces and Middle Thousand Provinces need no further explanation."

"Above Middle Thousand Provinces lies Upper Thousand Provinces, a vast and boundless expanse, teeming with powerful clans and Dao Lineage. My Chen Clan is but a small force among them!"

"Those in the Lower Realm only know that it is the end of the Dao Path, but they do not know—"

He paused, his voice suddenly becoming incredibly solemn, even carrying a hint of pilgrimage-like devotion:

"Above Upper Thousand Provinces lies the heaven! Above Heavens and Myriad Realms... is... the Heaven Above Heaven!"

"Even its existence is unspeakable; it is the taboo of taboos."

"That is the source of all paths! It is a place where only true descendants of immortals and gods, and Great Power, can dwell! We cultivators spend our entire lives searching for it, and we don't even have the right to look up to its existence—the 'Immortal Realm'!"

Chen Yan's voice trembled. He had thought that the Young Master was just a member of a collateral branch of the Qin Clan, but he never expected that the other party was actually a member of the Qin Clan, which was high above the Ten Directions Immortal Court and controlled the order of Myriad Realms!

And their status is definitely not low!

I've won the lottery!

It's laughable that I just thought Xu Hui was an ordinary cultivator, but I never expected his background to be so terrifying.

It's not an exaggeration to call him "senior" on my knees.

Upon hearing this, Yin Qiyue froze on the spot, her red lips slightly parted, and for the first time, her beautiful face showed utter shock and blankness.

"The Heaven Above Heaven are... the Immortal Realm?"

Only now did she truly glimpse the terrifying origins hidden beneath the tip of the iceberg of the master she had always followed—an origin so powerful it could shake the heavens.

The Young Master is actually an Immortal!

While both sides were in shock...

Suddenly, the clear sound of Copper Bell could be heard in the morning mist.

A young man in a divination robe arrived in this world, his cinnabar talisman still wet on his fingers, and the lingering Incense and Fire Qi rising from his fluttering robes.

He had a tag on his waist with three characters written on it.

Qing Wangchuan.
