Bai Lixin looked up at the sky and heard a sword whistle. A man in long dark robes floated up on a flying sword and landed under the observation platform.
Elder Jianfeng’s eyes lit up, and even his voice trembled with excitement. “It’s Immortal Ye Chuan!”
Bai Lixin had also heard of Immortal Ye Chuan. He had been in seclusion and was rumoured to be the most likely person to ascend from this Upper Elemental Immortal Realm. So Bai Lixin had never met him.
Er …… what is this inexplicable familiarity with the plot? How come I seem to have heard of this setting in the mid-level plan?
Bai Lixin pressed the corner of his forehead, somewhat speechless. It was so similar to Feng Baixiao’s setting. It should just be a coincidence, right?
Immortal Ye Chuan lived in his immortal palace on top of the mountain. It was originally just a place for cultivation, but because of his mysteriousness and reverence, they not only called him Immortal Ye Chuan, but the cave where he cultivated was also the Immortal Palace.
Immortal Ye Chuan looked only twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. He was unsmiling, with a majestic and timeless look. He was the focus of attention even when he stood in front of many cultivators.
Immortal Ye Chuan glanced above the viewing platform and gave a slight nod to the Sect master before hearing the Sect master say, “Immortal Ye Chuan, you have finally come out of seclusion.”
Ye Chuan’s cultivation level was at the ninth level of the Salvation stage before he entered seclusion two hundred years ago, and he had been in seclusion ever since.
Bai Lixin fumbled with his chin and took a glance at Immortal Ye Chuan, who happened to meet his eyes.
The man had no waves in his eyes but he showed a slight look of surprise when he met Bai Lixin’s eyes.
There was a slight commotion at the scene due to the arrival of Immortal Ye Chuan, but it returned to normal in a few moments. The elders directed Immortal Ye Chuan to a seat, but he refused and chose to sit down next to Bai Lixin and watched the competition carefully.
He seldom appeared in front of people and was an attainable existence.
The more people were in the presence of such a person, the more they wanted to express themselves in the hope of gaining his favour. When he’s happy, he occasionally bestows high-level magic weapons or gives guidance to those who had lost their way. Everyone in the audience hoped to get his attention today.
The battle on the field became more intense, and as time progressed, it was not long before Sun Xu took to the stage.
On the stage, Sun Xu was seriously fighting against his opponent. Bai Lixin in the stand looked at Elder Jianfeng beside him, who was so excited that he almost fainted, and then at Immortal Ye Chuan on the other side, who was as calm as a marble statue of stone, and kindly said, “Elder, why don’t …… I switch seats with you? ”
The elder of the sword peak heard the words and his eyes rolled over. He actually fainted.
Seeing that elder Jianfeng was about to slide down his seat, Bai Lixin was quick and held him up with one hand, which prevented him from making a fool of himself.
What the hell? Do old men have such deep-rooted idol worship?
Bai Lixin felt a drop of cold sweat at the corner of his forehead. A pill appeared in thin air with a swing of his empty hand into the void. Just as he was about to feed the pill into Elder Jianfeng’s mouth, he suddenly heard a stormy voice in the distance, “What are you going to do to my master?!”
Bai Lixin was startled and the pill came out of his hand.
Just as the pill was about to hit the ground, a long, slender hand appeared out of nowhere to catch the pill and bring it to Bai Lixin. Bai Lixin looked up and saw that Immortal Ye Chuan had stood beside him at some point and said, “Here is your medicine.”
“Many thanks.” Bai Lixin took the pill and put it in Elder Jianfeng’s mouth. The pill melted in his mouth, and Elder Jianfeng opened his eyes with a ragged gasp. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his idol, Immortal Ye Chuan. His eyes rolled up, and he was about to faint again.
Bai Lixin laughed hard and hurriedly said, “Elder, I don’t have a lot of these quick-acting heart-saving pills with me!”
Only then did the elder Jianfeng smile awkwardly and shakily stand up. He bowed respectfully, “Greetings, Immortal Ye Chuan.”
The sect master stood up and waved his hand at the tournament stage. Sun Xu knelt on the ground in response. “Nonsense, Mr. Cha was saving your master just now. Why are you shouting? ”
Sun Xu gritted his teeth and looked at the people on the stand. He finally said, “It was this disciple who was reckless. I hope the Sect Master and Master will forgive me. ”
“Stop, stop, you are also eager to protect your master. Let’s resume the competition.”
The small episode passed by in a flash, and the crowd’s eyes were once again drawn to the competition arena.
Bai Lixin suddenly heard Immortal Ye Chuan’s voice in his mind saying, “What a shadowy soul. I can’t believe I ran into you here.”
Bai Lixin smiled and said back with a voice transmission, “I’d say the same to you. Did you take over Immortal Ye Chuan’s body this time or are you the original Immortal Ye Chuan? ”
Immortal Ye Chuan was Feng Baixiao, whom he had not seen for a hundred years. Bai Lixin injected his divine sense into immortal Ye Chuan’s body when he received the pill just now. Although it was slightly different, Bai Lixin still sensed Feng Baixiao’s aura fluctuations.
Now that Immortal Ye Chuan was the first to identify him, Bai Lixin gave him some face.
“Ye Chuan is just one of my identities. I would banish my consciousness into the lower realms when I am in seclusion so I could search for what I wanted. That’s how I met you. ” Immortal Ye Chuan whispered his secret. Bai Lixin frowned slightly before asking, “What about Feng Bai Xiao’s body?”
“I have got all the things I needed to find in that realm, so that body would be of no use.”
Bai Lixin’s heart thumped. If Immortal Ye Chuan took his consciousness out of Feng Baixiao’s body, wouldn’t Feng Baixiao be judged as “dead” by the world’s sub-god? S419M had said that if the son of the world died, the whole world would collapse.
But the realm has not collapsed. Could it be that when Immortal Ye Chuan took Feng Baixiao’s body, Feng Baixiao’s consciousness did not dissipate but survived?
Bai Lixin narrowed his eyes and looked toward the heroic Sun Xu on the fighting stage.
This is the only reason why the world is still maintaining the status quo.
If the Son of the World’s soul was not destroyed, then the most likely place the soul was residing was in Sun Xu’s body!
No wonder I always felt an unexplained sense of dissonance in Sun Xu’s body. No wonder I felt an uncomfortable aura from him when I was in the lower plane.
It was because he and the Son of the World had always been at odds with each other!
It had been a long time, but Bai Lixin remembered the incident when Feng Baixiao was falsely accused of defiling the female cultivators.
If that incident was not the work of the immortal beside him, then it was the work of the Son of the world!
He remembered that in the original plot, there was an ancient evil soul sealed in the soul of the Son of the world. It was an ancient power that specialised in the secret art of picking yin and supplementing yang. It had been decapitated and sealed in the souls of successive generations of the Feng family.
The son of the world, Feng Baixiao, broke the seal on his soul when he died.
He kept teaching Feng Baixiao the art of stealing yin to supplement yang. Feng Baixiao fell deep and was unable to extricate himself. This is why Feng Baixiao kept a harem. However, this evil soul was not doing things for the good of the son of the world.
He intended to wear Feng Baixiao’s soul down, sacrifice and refine the body so that it could take over his body in one fell swoop and inherit everything from the Son of the world! Be it status, cultivation, or women.
But how could he possibly succeed?
The Son of the World is like an immortal legend!
In a fierce battle, this evil spirit appeared before the Son of the World as the last boss, after the Son of the world had conquered the beautiful maiden and crossed five hurdles.
The result was predictable: the Son of the world succeeded in defeating the evil spirit, or the demon of the heart. From then on, he embarked on the road of double cultivation with his harem. Relying solely on the art of dual cultivation, the Son of the World took a group of female cultivators with him and successfully ascended to the heavens.
Since Feng Baixiao’s body had been taken over by the Nine Heavenly Demon King, this plot was completely interrupted.
But looking at the female cultivators already gathered around Sun Xu, it dawned on Bai Lixin that the plot of this world was still going on silently.
Bai Lixin shook the chaff out of his mind helplessly.
“If you don’t mind, would Mr. Cha like to visit my Immortal Palace?” Immortal Ye Chuan suddenly sat up from his chair and whispered.
Although his voice sounded soft in Bai Lixin’s ears, it was powerful. Everyone in this grandstand heard it.
He was the first person to be promoted in front of so many people, so how could he refuse in front of so many people?
Bai Lixin let out a dry smile and delivered the three top-quality pills to the Sect Master before nodding his head and saying, “Then I’ll respectfully comply with your request.”
Immortal Ye Chuan summoned a flying sword from mid-air. With his hand around Bai Lixin’s waist, he gently lifted him and brought him to the flying sword. Without looking at the crowd, Immortal Ye Chuan’s middle finger turned into a sword and pointed. The flying sword then swiftly flew away.
“Did you find me for something important?”
“Little Cha, something has happened to your master, Xuanyuan Yixiao.”
“What happened?!”
“He was captured by the immortals of the Immortal Realm. They are searching for you—the Iris. Someone leaked the news about you.”
Bai Lixin was shocked. He had met Daoist Yixiao in the Upper Elemental Immortal Realm only once. The only people who knew about his identity and relationship with Xuanyuan Yixiao were Feng Baixiao and the feathered people they saved.
Naturally, Feng Baixiao was not in consideration. Then the one who leaked their relationship…
A heavy cold glint appeared in Bai Lixin’s eyes.
It must be those two Feather Clan people!
“Is my master’s life in danger now?”
“As far as I know, not yet. He should be safe until they get your whereabouts. But the immortal who captured your master is ruthless; even I am no match for him. So there’s no telling how he’ll torture your master if he gets angry. I was thinking of going down to the mountain to look for you and then think of a countermeasure, but I never thought I would meet you here by chance.”
Bai Lixin gritted his teeth and nodded, “I understand. Let’s go to your Immortal Palace first.”
