Chapter 248 Chapter 248: Blessed by Heaven
Xu Shan and the Divine Empress emerged from the Spatial Crack into a breathtaking landscape.
They found themselves in the Realm of Immortals, a realm that was unknown for most people. Many people had imagined what this place was going to be like, but none was able to pass through the barrier of immortality to enter the realm.
The land possessed ethereal beauty and unparalleled power, at least in the place where Xu Shan appeared.
The sky was adorned with swirling clouds of vibrant colors, and magnificent mountains stretched as far as the eye could see.
As they stood there, Xu Shan sensed a strong presence nearby. He turned his gaze towards a secluded valley, where a figure clad in a robe of shimmering gold stood, radiating an aura of immense power.
Simply looking at the man, Xu Shan had a feeling that the person was much stronger than him. Not just him, that person was stronger than the young man that had invaded his world.
The man had a long white beard, his fingers were adorned with intricate golden rings, and his eyes sparkled with wisdom and kindness.
The man was accompanied by a group of youngsters. Although the youngsters weren't even adults yet, they were already touching the threshold of the Immortal Celestial Realm Cultivation.
"Grand Elder, I see some people there. They don't have the attire of our sect. Weren't outsiders not allowed here?" A young girl next to the old man asked, her eyes suspiciously looking at Xu Shan.
"Could they be bad people, here to steal?" A young boy asked. "Just look at that man's face! He doesn't look like anything good!"
He didn't know where he was. However, from the old man's words, he came to understand that he was in the proximity of a sect. Since the old man was a member and very strong as well, it made Xu Shan believe that the sect wasn't weak either.
Although he would've preferred to end up at a different place so that he could've gathered more information before coming in contact with such high profile people, but with no other choice, he could only settle with the fate he was dealt with.
He didn't tell them that he came from a lower world. Instead, he told them a different story about how he used a teleportation talisman which brought him here for some reason.
The Great Elder's eyes sparkled with interest as he listened to Xu Shan's words. He didn't know how much truth was in the words of these people, but he had no easy way to find out.
He could use some harsher methods to verify their words, but these people hadn't tried to harm them. And they didn't seem to have any bad intentions, so he let it go.
If anything, he was more interested in Xu Shan. A young man who was blessed by the heaven, he was sure this guy wasn't an ordinary person. He might even be a member of an Overlord Family.
"Xu Shan." In his mind, he kept thinking about the name. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of any great family with the last name Xu.
He thought of two possibilities. Either the man before him had given him a fake name to hide his identity, or he was not from this Kingdom as the great elder only knew the name of families within this Kingdom.
"Can you tell me a way out of this place?" Xu Shan asked, feeling many more powerful auras in the area. His presence was slowly getting noticed by more people from the sect.
"I can tell you, but you won't be able to leave on your own. This is a special realm within our sect. Only one of the Elders can take you out," the Great Elder explained. "How about it? For the time being, you can tag along with us. When we leave, I'll take you with me."
"But Great Elder?" The girl next to the Elder exclaimed. "They are outsiders. What if they're lying? We should call the Enforcement Elder and let him take care of it!"
