496. Chapter 489: There Really Is a God Realm!

Just as Li Hao was explaining his plan to steal the power of the world to everyone, the situation at Qingping Mountain had become increasingly complicated. Not only did cultivators from all over the world sense the coming changes in the heavens and earth, but the Qingyun Sect was also almost swarming out.

For a time, the Qingyun Sect was locked in a stalemate with many other sects.

"Amitabha Buddha, regarding the matter of this place, I Dao Xuan has any explanation?" A Yamato stepped out of the crowd, landed dozens of meters away from the Qingyun Sect, put his hands together in a Buddhist salute, and asked loudly.

The Eight Treasures Monk's Robe is woven from Celestial Silkworm Silk and sewn with gold thread, and is inlaid with the Eight Treasures of Buddhism, pearls, jade, agate and other precious materials.

In the setting sun, his robes shone brightly, shimmering with seven colors, truly making him seem otherworldly.

Although the Yamato's words were not overly aggressive, they undoubtedly contained elements of questioning and coercion.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately chimed in, "Master Dao Xuan, we don't mean anything by it, we just want to ask, has the Qingyun Sect found the Immortal Realm?"

With that shout, the entire valley fell silent.

Whether they were flying in the sky, standing on the ground, or cultivators hidden among the mountains and trees, everyone's gaze was focused on the Qingyun Sect and on Dao Xuan Zhenren.

Even with his profound cultivation, Dao Xuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous facing the gazes of so many cultivators, the burning eyes of almost half of the major forces in the cultivation world.

This time, it's really gotten out of hand.

He sighed silently to himself, momentarily at a loss for words.

Just when Dao Xuan Zhenren was in a dilemma, Lu Xueqi stepped forward.

Her expression was indifferent, her clear black and white eyes like unfathomable abysses as she surveyed the surrounding cultivators, saying detachedly, "When has the Qingyun Sect ever needed to explain its actions to you?"

quiet.

The valley was deathly silent.

All eyes turned from Dao Xuan Zhenren to Lu Xueqi.

Some were taken aback, some were surprised, some were confused, and some were angry; the reactions of all were varied and numerous.

"Who is this? How dare they?"

"You don't know that? She's a peerless genius of the Qingyun Sect. I heard that at such a young age, she already has cultivation comparable to Dao Xuan Zhenren. She's a peerless genius that the Qingyun Sect doesn't produce once in ten thousand years."

"Hiss, no way. How old is she? How could she have such cultivation?"

"That's hard to say. By the way, I also heard that she played a part in the so-called Immortal Seeking Project."

"That can't be right. Wasn't the Immortal Seeking Project proposed by an outsider cultivator?"

"It's true that it was proposed by outside cultivators, but no one has said that no one from the Qingyun Sect participated, has they? Besides, if there weren't any of our own people involved, why would the Qingyun Sect support such a fantastical plan?"

"That's a pipe dream; I don't think so."

"Yeah, you're right. Judging from the situation here, they might actually have found the Immortal Realm."

People were talking about it, but some were quite dissatisfied with Lu Xueqi's attitude.

For example, the Yamato who spoke earlier.

"This is the etiquette of the Qingyun Sect. When elders are speaking, how can children interrupt?" the Yamato reprimanded with displeasure.

Just as Dao Xuan Zhenren was about to speak, Li Hao stepped forward.

He stepped forward, stood before Dao Xuan Zhenren, raised his right hand in a Daoist School gesture of respect, and smiled, saying, "If Zhenren trusts me, then leave this matter to me."

Dao Xuan Zhenren's eyes flickered, and he hesitated without saying a word.

The situation is now out of control.

Even with Dao Xuan's knowledge, he didn't know how to handle the situation. Although entrusting such an important matter to an outsider was somewhat unreasonable, Dao Xuan was at a loss for what to do at the moment.

So he paused for a few seconds, then said, "Very well, this matter arose because of you, so it's only right that you take it upon yourself. Whatever decision you make, my Qingyun Sect will give it our full support."

Li Hao laughed twice, inwardly praising him.

This Dao Xuan is indeed a cunning old fox. In just two short sentences, he not only shifted the blame and the criticism from the crowd to himself, but also managed to curry favor.

Li Hao turned to face the countless cultivators, pondered for a moment, pointed to the large pile of messy items behind him, and said, "As you can see, we have found the legendary Immortal Realm. These things were all excavated from the Immortal Realm."

Quiet!

Dead silence!

An eerie silence fell over the scene.

Everyone stared at Li Hao in utter disbelief.

What did he say?

We've found the Immortal Realm!

These things were unearthed from the Immortal Realm!

The Immortal Realm!

The legendary Immortal Realm!

Most incredibly, they actually dug up so many random and bizarre things from the Immortal Realm!?

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in uproar.

"You guys are talking nonsense. You found the Immortal Realm, so why don't you just say you've become an immortal?"

"If they hadn't found the Immortal Realm, where would these spiritual soils and trees have come from? So I believe them; the Qingyun Sect found the Immortal Realm and brought these things back from the Immortal Realm."

"Impossible. If they found the Immortal Realm and brought these things back from the Immortal Realm, why would they stay in the mortal world? Wouldn't it be better for them to stay in the Immortal Realm?"

"That makes sense. If they've been to the Immortal Realm, why would they come back? But if they haven't been to the Immortal Realm, then the previous burst of spiritual energy and these spiritual materials don't quite make sense."

"Wait, did they find the Grotto-Heaven of Gu Xian? If so, everything makes sense."

"Yes, yes, if they found the Grotto-Heaven of the Gu Xian, that would also make sense."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but most people didn't believe Li Hao's words.

There's nothing we can do; the affairs of the Immortal Realm are simply too unbelievable.

Just as everyone was arguing, Li Hao suddenly spoke up, "I know you won't believe me easily, but what do you all think if I can produce enough evidence?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Shock!

They looked at Li Hao with suspicion and uncertainty; even the most steadfast opponents couldn't help but feel doubt at this moment.

Did they really find the Immortal Realm and excavate these things from the Immortal Realm?

Li Hao did not elaborate further.

He casually made a hand seal, and the thirty-six gems on the Haotian Mirror flashed with red light, quickly projecting a huge holographic projection above the Haotian Mirror.

The holographic projection consisted of two layers. The upper layer showed the ascension process of the Immortal-Seeking I, while the lower layer showed the process observed by the elders of the Qingyun Sect. To accommodate the cultivators from afar, Li Hao deliberately enlarged the holographic projection proportionally.

Therefore, the holographic projection displayed at this moment is much larger than that displayed at the Qingyun Sect Immortal-Seeking I, which was originally tens of meters tall, is now close to a hundred meters tall.

As the holographic projection changed continuously, everyone seemed to witness the ascension of the Immortal-Seeking I and its entire process of breaking through layers of gales. Moreover, there were also conversations between many elders of the Qingyun Sect and Li Hao and others, explaining the progress of the Immortal-Seeking I.

At first, everyone was a little confused, but gradually they understood the mystery behind it.

At the same time, their hearts were pounding with anticipation as the Immortal-Seeking I made its continuous breakthroughs.

Some people even quietly cheered for the Immortal-Seeking I.

When the Immortal Realm, high above the heavens, first appeared and disappeared, the scene erupted in unprecedented passion.

"Look, there's still another world in the sky."

"Hiss, this, this is the highest heavens, could it really be the legendary immortal Immortal Realm?"

"It must be the Immortal Realm, otherwise what other world would be located above the Nine Heavens?"

"The Immortal Realm... the Immortal Realm really exists!?"

People stared wide-eyed at the hazy world projected on the holographic screen, expressing their excitement in various ways.

Especially when Immortal-Seeking I successfully broke through the Great Thousand Worlds, a frenzied cheer erupted in the valley.

"Haha, it worked! It worked!"

"My God, it really worked! What is this? Is this some kind of smuggling into the Immortal Realm?"

"Incredible, absolutely incredible! To be able to enter the Immortal Realm in such a way is truly unimaginable."

"This is the strength of the Qingyun Sect, the leader of the righteous path, truly terrifying."

"Bah! If it weren't for Master Li, the Qingyun Sect could have entered the Immortal Realm on its own. If you ask me, Master Li deserves at least half the credit for the ' Immortal-Seeking I ' being able to enter the Immortal Realm."

"That's not right. Without the strong support of the Qingyun Sect, Master Li might not have been able to refine such a treasure. In your sect, would you be willing to gamble half of your sect's resources for Piao Miao hope?"

"Of course we'd like to. Master Li's abilities are beyond question."

"Pshaw, hindsight is 20/20."

"Wait, holy crap, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Immortal Realm is hundreds of times that of the Qingyun Sect! The Qingyun Sect is the foremost Grotto-Heaven in the world today!"

"Damn it, no wonder there was such a strong spiritual energy storm before. The spiritual energy in the Immortal Realm is too dense! Everywhere here is hundreds of times better than in our mortal world. Damn it, if we were born in the Heavenly Realm, we'd all probably have a chance to achieve immortality."

"Alas, only today do I realize the injustice of heaven and earth, the injustice of heaven and earth!"

"Ah, the Immortal Realm, truly lives up to its legendary Immortal Realm. Compared to the Immortal Realm, our mortal world is like dog shit compared to the Immortal Realm."

"Damn it, if Laozi could go to the Immortal Realm, I might even have a chance to become an immortal god!"

The crowd's eyes burned with envy, and some even burst into tears, lamenting the injustice of heaven and earth and wondering why they weren't born in the heavens but had to suffer on earth.

However, when the holographic projection played the part about the Haotian Mirror connecting the two realms and bringing a large number of spiritual treasures from the Immortal Realm, the scene fell into an eerie silence again.

Everyone stared at the Haotian Mirror with bloodshot eyes.

This treasure can actually connect to the Immortal Realm!

Hiss!

What does that even mean?!

Since it can connect the two realms, does that mean it also has the potential to send people to the Immortal Realm?

Thinking of this, everyone's breathing quickened, and some could hardly contain their excitement.

The atmosphere then underwent a peculiar change.

Fanaticism!

Crazy!

Greedy!

The evil in human nature has taken hold of most people's hearts.

Sensing the change in the atmosphere around them, the members of the Qingyun Sect couldn't help but become tense.

Only Li Hao remained completely calm, even wanting to laugh.

Because that's one of his goals.

He's waiting now, waiting for the first idiot to jump out.
