Two Days in the Sky, Shaking the World
A town a hundred miles away from the Qingyun Sect.
Since news broke that the Qingyun Sect was carrying out a plan to seek immortality, the most nervous people were undoubtedly the other sects that were also leaders of the righteous path, as well as the demonic sect.
Among them, the Demonic Sect, which has a blood feud with the Qingyun Sect, is of the greatest concern.
Especially since this news came from Biyou, the Ghost King couldn't help but take it seriously.
Of course, if it were the old Biyou, even if the Ghost King cared, no one else would pay much attention. But things are different now; the current Biyou is no longer the weak and delicate Biyou of the past.
Starting more than a year ago, Biyou's cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds.
In a short period of time, he had already become one of the top experts in the Demonic Sect.
Such a change has indeed attracted a lot of attention. Some even predict that Biyou's achievements will surpass those of the Ghost King, and even all the masters in the history of the demonic path. Because throughout the ten thousand years of demonic history, few people have been able to reach such a level of cultivation at Biyou's age.
The Ghost King was also quite pleased with Biyou's transformation.
So when he heard Biyou say that the Qingyun Sect was searching for immortals, the Ghost King was startled.
Immortal!
There are so many legends about immortals in this world.
But as for who has truly seen an immortal, there is not a single person.
Even a demonic leader like the Ghost King had never seen a true immortal.
However, although he had never seen them, there must have been a reason for the many legends of immortals and gods that had been passed down for so many years. Therefore, the Ghost King had never refuted or denied the existence of the Immortal Realm.
But he absolutely refused to believe that the Qingyun Sect could find the Immortal Realm.
The Ghost King's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
If the Immortal Realm were so easily found by mortals, could it still be called the Immortal Realm?
Inside a small courtyard in the town.
The courtyard has two sections, front and back, with a huge sycamore tree planted in the back.
It was nearing the dead of winter, and the howling wind felt like a steel knife scraping against one's bones, sending chills down one's spine.
Beneath the enormous sycamore tree sat a refined-looking middle-aged man dressed in a long black robe.
He is none other than the Ghost King, the Taoism, and the current chief of the Demonic Path.
"The Qingyun Sect is in turmoil; a strange object flew into the sky and disappeared in an instant."
Just as the Ghost King was deep in thought, a streak of azure sword light arrived in an instant. It was a message relayed by a scout from the demonic path who had discovered the unusual activity of the Qingyun Sect.
The Ghost King frowned slightly.
Has the Qingyun Sect really begun that absurd plan?
"Hmph, seeking immortality? How absurd! How could a mere mortal possibly find the Immortal Realm with such strange and ingenious techniques?"
The Ghost King scoffed disdainfully, showing little optimism about the Qingyun Sect's immortal-seeking plan. However, despite his disapproval, the Ghost King hadn't come for this plan in the first place.
He pondered for a moment, then said, "Go and fetch Miss."
"Yes."
A Piao Miao, eerie sound came from a dark corner of the courtyard. Then, the shadows on the courtyard wall seemed to come alive, wriggling almost imperceptibly, as if something hidden in the shadows had left the courtyard.
Soon, Biyou arrived at the backyard.
She practically ran in, her face full of anticipation, and excitedly asked, "Father, has the Qingyun Sect started yet?"
When the Ghost King saw Biyou arrive, he couldn't help but show a gentle smile.
He nodded slightly and said, "The Qingyun Sect has already begun its search for immortals, but in my opinion, it's just a joke. Compared to the Qingyun Sect's plan to seek immortals, I'm more worried about that mysterious and unpredictable weapon refiner."
As the Ghost King spoke, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Although the Qingyun Sect intended to keep the news of the Treasure Mirror a secret, too many people witnessed it that day, and with so many people talking, it was inevitable that the information would leak out. Although Biyou never mentioned the Treasure Mirror, the matter was not kept hidden for long, and within just a few months, it had spread throughout the world.
This is one of the reasons why cultivation sects all over the world pay attention to the Qingyun Sect.
After all, regardless of whether the search for immortality is real or not, this treasure mirror, which can transmit sound over thousands of miles and also transport items, is a real treasure.
Even a fool would understand the importance of this treasure.
Having this treasure would be an extraordinary aid, whether for gathering intelligence or stealing treasures from other sects. Most importantly, this item is not unreplicable; rather, there are skilled weapon refiners capable of crafting it.
A weapon refiner of such skill would be indispensable to any sect.
At the same time, weapon refiners are rare in the cultivation world, and highly skilled weapon refiners are even rarer. Therefore, refining magical treasures is an extremely troublesome matter. Seeing that Li Hao's weapon refining skills are so extraordinary, they naturally have the idea of taking the opportunity to build a relationship and get a weapon refining master to help them refine treasures.
Of course, these are just the thoughts of ordinary practitioners.
What's the point of cultivating connections with the Demonic Sect? Since he's a rare master craftsman, they might as well just snatch him back. Even if they can't snatch him back, they can't let him forge magical artifacts for the righteous sects, led by the Qingyun Sect.
This is the Ghost King's true purpose.
From the very beginning, he never paid any attention to the so-called Immortal Seeking Plan.
The only person he truly cared about was Li Hao, who was rumored to be incredibly powerful.
Biyou didn't know what the Ghost King was thinking, but seeing the change in his expression, she could guess some clues.
She felt ashamed.
My stupid daddy.
That guy is the one we need to worry about the least, okay?
Instead of worrying about the group owner, we should worry about whether Lu Xueqi Little Piggy might be secretly holding back some Rocket -building technology.
However, in this case, Biyou would have no way of explaining it to the Ghost King.
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Father, Qingyun Sect is heavily guarded right now; it's not a good time to start a war. Besides, I've heard that Qingyun Sect has spent a lot of resources on the Immortal Seeking Plan. Regardless of whether the plan succeeds or not, we can just watch the show."
Upon hearing this, the Ghost King couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The fact that Qingyun Sect has spent a lot of sect resources on its Immortal Seeking Plan is no secret.
The whole world is now waiting to see Qingyun Sect make a fool of itself, and the Ghost King is no exception.
The thought of the Qingyun Sect wasting so many resources on such a ridiculous plan made him feel that the weather was exceptionally nice today, and even the biting cold wind felt unusually comfortable.
"Yao'er is right. Since the Qingyun Sect is determined to court death, why should we bother to wake them up?" The Ghost King sneered. "I can't wait to see Dao Xuan's expression."
Biyou sighed silently in her heart.
My foolish daddy, there's no way you're going to see Dao Xuan make a fool of himself now.
With that unpredictable group leader around, the Immortal Seeking Plan will definitely be without any problems. Perhaps the only issue is how to better utilize the resources of this world to tap into the resources of the Immortal Realm.
Meanwhile, countless cultivators shared the same thoughts as the Ghost King.
It includes not only righteous leaders, but also some independent cultivators and small sects.
The evil in human nature makes them indifferent to whether seeking immortality is beneficial to the development of the cultivation world. Instead, they are more interested in seeing the righteous leader who is famous throughout the world suffer a major setback, in order to satisfy their despicable desires.
Shortly after the Demonic Sect acquired the Qingyun Sect's Immortal Seeking Plan, the news spread like wildfire throughout the world.
In an instant, the whole world was paying attention.
Heavenly Sound Temple, the Demonic Cult, and so on.
However, the attention from the outside world was no longer a concern for the Qingyun Sect. They were witnessing a scene they had never seen before in their lives, a scene they had never imagined.
As the treasure broke through layers of fierce winds and came into contact with the void that cultivators could never reach in their entire lives, they finally saw the Piao Miao world hidden above the fierce winds of the nine heavens!
After an unknown amount of time, the dim and ethereal scene on the Haotian Mirror suddenly changed.
The mountains resemble dragons, lying prone on the earth.
The scenery Piao Miao, as if hidden in a mist, and could not be seen clearly.
Even so, all the elders of the Qingyun Sect couldn't help but stand up from their prayer mats. They stared dumbfounded at the hazy and Piao Miao phantom of the world projected above the nine heavens in the holographic projection, unable to believe their eyes.
World!
A world hidden in the heavens!?
What kind of world could be hidden high in the heavens!?
Tian Buyi's eyes widened like a bull's, and he said in a trembling voice, "Immortals really exist in the Immortal Realm!?"
The wrinkles on the Cangsong's face trembled.
He stroked his long beard, but unconsciously plucked off a few precious hairs.
In the past, this would have been enough to make him regretful for a long time.
But at this moment, Cangsong had no time to pay attention to the beard issue. His entire Divine Capital drawn to the holographic projection before him, Divine Capital to the world that seemed to rise above the heavens.
The Immortal Realm!
Once upon a time, this was such an Piao Miao and illusory term.
Once upon a time, this was a term that existed only in legends.
But at this moment, they saw the true Immortal Realm, an irresistible temptation for any cultivator.
However, compared to the shock of the Qingyun Sect's arrival, Li Hao was no longer moved.
His eyes were fixed on the magical artifact, and he said in a deep voice, "Begin the second stage."
Lu Xueqi calmly replied, "Yes."
Phase Two?
Li Hao's words brought everyone in the Qingyun Sect to their senses.
They looked at Li Hao blankly.
Shuiyue couldn't help but ask, "Brother Dao, what does this second stage mean?"
Li Hao calmly said, "Seeking immortality is not just about seeing the Immortal Realm and confirming Immortal Realm existence. If one cannot successfully enter the Immortal Realm, how can it be considered seeking immortality?"
Successfully entered the Immortal Realm!
The elders of the Qingyun Sect looked at each other, each with only one thought in their minds.
Madman!
They initially thought Li Hao simply wanted to confirm the existence of the Immortal Realm, never expecting him to be so reckless as to enter Immortal Realm.
Isn't that ascension?
Yes, ascension!
Is there any other way to ascend to immortality besides in broad daylight?
While feeling absurd, everyone couldn't help but look at the giant baby in the holographic projection that had begun to split apart.
But then the giant artifact broke in half, its thick lower half radiating an unprecedentedly dazzling light. The crimson flames illuminated the dim sky like a blazing sun. Even through the holographic projection, the intense light made people instinctively shield their eyes, unable to look directly at it.
At this moment, the Jade Dynasty World seemed to welcome another sun.
All people and all living beings can see the dazzling light in the sky, as blinding as the sun.
Those who did not know the reason knelt on the ground, trembling.
Those who knew the situation fell silent.
Was the quest for immortality a success or a failure?
