"Forget it, why should I think about those things? I'll just work diligently for my seniors from now on, and perhaps I can reach that level!" Wu Shengqian smiled slightly, already starting to daydream.
Several more days passed, and suddenly a terrifying power erupted from the depths of the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect. This power spread throughout the entire Extreme Cold Immortal Sect, and countless people stared at that place with fear on their faces.
The sky was filled with imperial light, dazzling and intense. A person stood within it, enveloped in the light, with various strange phenomena appearing. He shattered the void, acting with unparalleled rage, just like a god.
This person was none other than Zhao Yu, the sect master of the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect. After Su Chen left, he went into seclusion to cultivate and did not allow anyone to disturb him. After several dozen days of seclusion, Zhao Yu successfully broke through to the Immortal Emperor level.
Now, his life force is no longer as weak and unstable as it once was. The flickering, candle-like vitality that once seemed to be extinguished at any moment has been replaced by a powerful life force.
"I... I actually... broke through to the Immortal Emperor." Zhao Yu's expression was extremely excited, his voice trembled, and his aura was like a vast starry river, deep and calm, no longer showing the slightest weakness.
"Congratulations." Just as Zhao Yu was immersed in joy and unable to extricate himself, Wu Shengqian's figure quietly appeared beside him.
Zhao Yu snapped out of his daze, quickly bowed to him, and respectfully said, "Ancestor."
Wu Shengqian looked at Zhao Yu with a smile in his eyes, "Breaking through to Immortal Emperor, how does it feel?"
Zhao Yu clenched his fists and grinned, "I feel an endless vitality within me, as well as a powerful force I've never experienced before."
Wu Shengqian nodded and smiled, "From now on, you will no longer have to worry about your lifespan."
"Yes," Zhao Yu said excitedly, his heart still filled with unease. The Immortal Emperor realm was something he had never dared to dream of before, because he knew that his cultivation aptitude had reached its limit.
Therefore, he would rather spend hundreds of thousands of years searching for a suitable vessel than ever consider breaking through to the Immortal Emperor and possessing an infinite lifespan.
"I'm leaving. From now on, the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect will depend on you," Wu Shengqian suddenly said, his expression serious.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu was stunned at first, his eyes filled with confusion, "Where are you going?"
Wu Shengqian looked towards the horizon and laughed, " The Guanghan Palace."
Zhao Yu was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What are you going to the Guanghan Palace for?"
Wu Shengqian withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhao Yu, "Naturally, we're going to protect the Guanghan Palace from harm."
Zhao Yu's eyes widened. "Are you going to become the patriarch of another force?"
Wu Shengqian shook his head and smiled, "Senior instructed us to protect the Guanghan Palace. If something happens to the Guanghan Palace, are you sure we can arrive at the scene immediately?"
Zhao Yu was speechless, but inwardly he sneered. "You old codger, if you want to build a good relationship with your seniors, just say so. Why do you have to pretend to be so responsible?"
"Alright, I'm done chatting with you. I'm leaving." Wu Shengqian Qian laughed heartily, took a step, and disappeared from the spot.
Zhao Yu's eyes flickered, and after a long while, he called out, "Someone come here."
"Sect Master." Guo Tianhou appeared in the arena, bowing respectfully, his eyes filled with reverence and a hint of envy. "Sigh, if only I hadn't been so shameless back then, I would have shamelessly asked the senior for a pill."
Zhao Yu looked at Guo Tianhou and said, "Go and prepare a generous gift, send it to the Guanghan Palace, and tell them it's an apology."
"Yes, sir." Guo Tianhou nodded and then withdrew.
After Guo Tianhou had completely left, Zhao Yu murmured to himself, "I wonder if I will be able to reach that level someday in the future?"
A few days ago, Su Chen brought Qin Zixuan back to the Guanghan Palace, which shocked everyone Guanghan Palace.
"Holy crap, who is that man to the Holy Maiden? How did he manage to bring her back from the Star-Shattering Sect?"
"Haven't you heard? The Star-Shattering Sect was massacred. I suspect it was this young master who did it."
"My God, the entire Star-Shattering Sect was slaughtered? Are you sure you're not kidding?"
Why would I lie to you? The news is absolutely true!
"Hiss, if that's really the case, then he's incredibly impressive. Just who is this young master?"
"Anyway, they're not ordinary people. Otherwise, why didn't the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect come looking for trouble after the Star-Shattering Sect was destroyed?"
Everyone in the Guanghan Palace began to speculate about Su Chen's identity, but soon, the news that Su Chen was Qin Zixuan's husband spread, and the entire Guanghan Palace was in an uproar once again.
Some male disciples lost their goddesses, but no one was jealous; instead, they thought the two were a perfect match.
On this day, Su Chen and Qin Zixuan bid farewell to everyone in the Guanghan Palace and left. Qin Yao looked in the direction the two had left, her expression extremely complicated.
Granny An sighed, "Child, you like that Young Master Su too, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yao's face showed a hint of panic, and she quickly shook her head, saying, "No... no..."
Granny An said, "Don't lie to me. Although you've hidden it well, I've lived this long, how could I not see through it?"
Qin Yao remained silent.
Granny An patted Qin Yao on the shoulder and comforted her, "If you like her, go for it. Isn't it normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines?"
Qin Yao bit her red lips and shook her head, saying, "If it were any other woman, my wife, I would try to win her over. But my wife is my sister, and I cannot compete with her."
Granny An opened her mouth as if to say something, but Qin Yao shook her head and returned to the Guanghan Palace, her back view showing a hint of loneliness.
"Alas, fate is cruel," Granny An sighed softly.
The Sea of the Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, with ethereal mist drifting through it like a dreamlike veil. This sea remains calm and still, as if it were still.
Buzz!
At that moment, a sword's cry suddenly rang out, tearing apart the calm of the sea, and the sound waves rolled and surged outwards.
The once gentle sea, under the awe-inspiring sound of the sword, instantly became turbulent, whipping up towering waves.
In an instant, with a loud "bang," a figure, enveloped in countless Sword Intent, soared into the sky from the seabed like Jiaolong emerging from the ocean, creating a huge whirlpool around him, which was extremely terrifying.
The man stood on the sea, his left hand empty, only his right hand. His eyes were closed, and countless Sword Intent swirled around him, radiance scattering down. His long hair moved without wind, and his handsome face exuded determination.
This person was none other than the long-lost Jianxin. Since that incident, he had been cultivating here and fighting against the ferocious beasts of the sea. Now, his Sword Intent was several times stronger than before.
At this moment, Jianxin suddenly opened his eyes, a terrifying Sword-Ray bursting forth from them. He roared, as if he had been holding back for a long time, the sound echoing through the sky, as if he wanted to crush everything!
A terrifying aura surged forth, unleashing towering waves; Sword Intent filled the sky, sweeping across all directions. At this moment, he was like a true sword immortal.
