The Truth About Immortals: The Immortal Patriarchs of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land Return-The Beam Above Was Crooked

Before long, a piece of news sent the entire Mystic Realm into an uproar once more!

The immortals had returned!

Immortals who had ascended thousands, even tens of thousands of years ago had actually returned!

And their strength was even more terrifying!

The moment many immortals returned, they discovered that the factions they had once belonged to had long since been destroyed.

In their fury, they unleashed monstrous slaughter!

Among them, Xuanyuan Jiankong of Mo Prefecture was the most prominent!

In a single day, he forcibly wiped out two Sacred Lands.

Even the returned immortals within those two Sacred Lands were erased alongside them by Xuanyuan Jiankong.

Xuanyuan Jiankong's strength was suspected to rank among the very strongest of the returning immortals.

Rumors later emerged that Xuanyuan Jiankong had become a Sacred Inheritance Disciple of some great faction in the Immortal Realm, similar to a True Disciple.

Yet the difference in status between the two was like that between a firefly and the moon.

Most people had no idea why immortals who had ascended and departed were able to return.

But they knew that the Mystic Realm was about to face upheaval unlike anything in its history!

Northern Eastern Continent, the headquarters of the Demon-Monster Allied Army.

It was still within that pitch-black, sinister palace.

Upon twelve floating demonic pillars.

All twelve leaders of the Eastern Continent Demon-Monster Allied Army had gathered here.

Above the twelve floating demonic pillars.

Mo Xuan, clad in a blood-red robe, sat cross-legged there.

The Myriad Transformations Demon Lord and the others remained incomparably respectful.

At that moment, the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord asked with a trace of fear toward the unknown on his face:

"May I ask, Lord Mo Xuan, does the higher realm have any countermeasures for the return of the Mystic Realm's immortals?"

The Myriad Transformations Demon Lord was panicking inside!

One moment ago, they had been imposing and unstoppable, conquering and slaughtering wherever they went.

But the next, they had become like homeless dogs. Not only did they have to hand back their gains and territory, they now had to hide and cower here.

Such a sudden rise and fall left the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord somewhat unable to process it.

Now, the immortals' return made him feel even more terrified.

One had to know that during this war, their Demon-Monster Allied Army had destroyed an unknown number of factions.

Who knew how many of those factions had produced immortals?

If those immortals came knocking now.

The so-called Demon-Monster Allied Army would likely become a complete joke.

Immortals!

Even though the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord could control the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions, they were still existences he had to look up to.

Upon hearing the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord's words.

Mo Xuan, seated high above, gave a soft laugh and said disdainfully:

"What are you panicking for? Immortals are merely somewhat stronger cultivators. There is nothing to fear."

"What do you mean by that?" The Myriad Transformations Demon Lord was slightly stunned.

The others also pricked up their ears to listen.

Mo Xuan chuckled. "You call them immortals because your horizons are too narrow. Immortals? Are they worthy?"

"Whether immortals truly exist in this world, even those people from the so-called Immortal Realm probably do not know."

"The realm you call the immortal realm, above the Ascension Realm, is actually called the Void Return Realm!"

"Above the Void Return Realm is the Unity Realm, and above that is the True Spirit Realm."

"Of these so-called immortals who have returned, the vast majority are merely in the Void Return Realm. A small number are in the Unity Realm. Only Xuanyuan Jiankong is different—he is at the peak of the True Spirit Realm."

"But that is all. There are dozens of True Spirit Realm experts in my clan! Even above the True Spirit Realm, there are quite a few!"

"So in my eyes, your panic is utterly laughable!"

Mo Xuan's tone was full of disdain.

"This..."

The Myriad Transformations Demon Lord froze. Immortals were merely cultivators a little stronger than those in the Ascension Realm?

He had never considered such a question before.

He had only believed that after ascending and becoming an immortal, one could live forever and endure as long as heaven and earth.

But Mo Xuan's words had now shaken and shattered the worldview he had always held.

However, after his surprise faded, the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord asked with some confusion, "But Lord Mo Xuan, since your clan is so powerful, why do we still have to..."

"Do not ask what you should not ask!"

Before the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord could finish, Mo Xuan snorted coldly and cut him off.

"Yes, yes. This subordinate spoke out of turn."

The Myriad Transformations Demon Lord hurriedly lowered his head.

Mo Xuan cast him a cold glance. "Do not ask about things you are not meant to know. There are some matters that even I know little about."

"You only need to serve my clan well, and you will receive your benefits!"

"My clan will eventually rule the world and once more dominate all races in this world."

"Also, you may cultivate properly during this time. With the fusion of the two realms, the laws of heaven and earth that once suppressed you are gone. I believe that before long, you will break through to the Void Return Realm and become the immortals you once dreamed of becoming."

Mo Xuan swept his gaze over everyone as he offered this reminder.

Heavenly Dao Sacred Land.

The Heavenly Dao Sacred Land was exceptionally lively today.

It was far livelier than at any previous time.

Because today, some immortals who had once ascended from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land had returned together!

Yes, you heard that right. Together!

As an ancient Sacred Land with a foundation spanning fifty thousand years.

The Heavenly Dao Sacred Land had produced no fewer than eight hundred, if not a thousand, immortals since ancient times.

And among these immortals, an exceptionally brilliant individual had emerged.

Within the Immortal Realm, he had founded a faction.

The immortals who ascended from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land afterward all joined that faction.

And the name of that faction was the Holy Heaven Palace!

Sacred Land Main Hall.

At this moment, the Sacred Land Main Hall was not holding a meeting, but hosting a grand banquet.

The banquet stretched from inside the hall to outside it.

Those qualified to dine inside the main hall were the twelve Grand Elders, thirty-six core elders, one hundred and eight True Disciples.

As well as the five immortal patriarchs who had just returned.

Inside the main hall.

A redwood table dozens of meters long stood in the center, its seats filled on both sides.

At the very front sat the five immortal patriarchs side by side.

True Man Qingwei and the First Elder, Hong Yun, sat respectively below them to the left and right.

Below them were the twelve Grand Elders, then the thirty-six core elders, and finally the one hundred and eight True Disciples. Their ranks were clearly defined.

Jun Wangyou sat among them as well, silently eating and keeping a low profile.

But though he wished to keep a low profile, others had no intention of letting him.

The gazes of the other one hundred and seven True Disciples darted back and forth between the five immortal patriarchs and Jun Wangyou.

As for the reason, everyone understood. They were all a bunch of vulgar people!

At last, Jun Wangyou truly could not endure it any longer. He raised his head and glared angrily at everyone.

All the True Disciples immediately lowered their heads.

Some stared at their noses, some stared at the sky, and some seemed to be holding back laughter.

Jun Wangyou immediately felt utterly helpless. He had not wanted to come in the first place.

True Man Qingwei had dragged him here by force.

"Why is it so hard just to keep a low profile?"

Just then, one of the immortal patriarchs above suddenly smiled and asked:

"I heard that our Heavenly Dao Sacred Land recently produced a peerless genius who broke the Eternal Extreme Realm. Which one is he? Stand up and let this patriarch have a look."

Jun Wangyou helplessly rose to his feet and bowed toward the patriarchs above.

"This disciple, Jun Wangyou, greets the patriarchs."

When the five immortal patriarchs saw Jun Wangyou's appearance, their eyes immediately lit up.

The patriarch who had spoken earlier smiled even more broadly.

"Not bad, not bad. He is indeed a handsome and distinguished young man. Just that face alone practically says, 'I am a genius,' hahaha."

Another patriarch also laughed. "Putting everything else aside, little Wangyou, with that face of yours, you could make your way anywhere in the Immortal Realm."

"Many ancient great clans are always recruiting sons-in-law. Little Wangyou, I think you ought to give it a try. You are guaranteed to be chosen."

"Cough, cough...!"

Jun Wangyou's face instantly flushed red. He finally understood.

No wonder True Man Qingwei was so improper. The beam above was crooked.

At that moment, another immortal patriarch spoke teasingly:

"Little Wangyou, this master knows a female immortal. She is not that old, only about thirty thousand years older than you. She is a powerful expert,

but she has not had a Dao companion all these years. This patriarch thinks you can give it a try. What do you say? Shall I put you in touch?"

Jun Wangyou was completely speechless and shot a pleading look at True Man Qingwei.

True Man Qingwei ignored him completely, thinking, My good disciple, even I can't save you. If I step in, I'll only get beaten too.

Everyone in the main hall burst into laughter.

Quite a few True Disciples secretly took out recording stones and recorded the scene.

And countless years later, this scene became a lifelong disgrace that Jun Wangyou could never escape.

He even traveled against the river of time for it, ruthlessly beating up the bastard who had recorded the scene with a recording stone!
