Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years

Chapter 202 Nine Elders of the Immortal Sects

The old man was rather calm. His expression was cool as he glanced at Sun Wanshi and said indifferently, “Are you sure that it’s really the Deva who infiltrated the Upper World with the help of the Heavenly Cycle Star Pavilion?”

“There’s no doubt about it.” Sun Wanshi nodded solemnly and said, “That Song Zhong has the power of a Deva Dharma Idol, and there are only a few Devas in the entire Great Zhou.

“The Heavenly Cycle Star Pavilion has already announced that they are going into seclusion and will not come out. It’s impossible for the Black Yellow Heavenly Palace to help these families. Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong are also not here. Other than the Deva from the Lower World who infiltrated the Heavenly Void World, who else can it be?”

“What if it’s that Peerless Sky Demon from the Lower World?” the old man said bluntly. “What if this is just a bait to lure us over?”

“Ah, this…” Sun Wanshi trembled when he heard this. He said carefully,” It can’t be, Master. The time for the passage of the two worlds has long passed. It’s impossible for that Demon to come to our side within a hundred years, right?”

“What gave you the illusion that the Sky Demon won’t sneak in?” The old man sneered and stood up. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked in the direction of Guanzhou County. He said in a low voice, “You’re still too inexperienced. Have you forgotten the description of the Sky Demon I gave you earlier?”

“This disciple remembers!” Seeing that his master seemed to be a little angry, Sun Wanshi hurriedly knelt down. “After the people from the Heavenly Cycle Star Pavilion brought back the news of the Lower World, the nine elders held a secret meeting.

After the secret meeting, Cui Heng from the Lower World was named as a Peerless Sky Demon from the outer world. He’s an existence that will threaten the entire Heavenly Void World. We have to gather all our strength to destroy this Sky Demon.”

“What else?” the old man asked in a low voice.

“In order to prepare for the invasion of this Peerless Sky Demon, we have to gather all the Heaven Dew Crystals,” Sun Wanshi continued. “We must destroy the Nine Preeminent Families and the 24 aristocratic families one by one and collect their Heaven Dew Crystals.

However, in order to hide the truth, we have to use the pursuit of the escaped Deva as a public target to attack the ordinary families and small sects.

If we manage to capture that fleeing Deva and hand him over to the nine elders, we can obtain the chance to enter the ancient mystic realm to choose a peerless divine technique. It’s a huge opportunity.”

......

“Of all this information, didn’t you figure out anything?” The old man looked at Sun Wanshi.

“…” Sun Wanshi said after a moment of silence, “Disciple is stupid.”

“Sigh.” The old man shook his head and said, “Essentially, this means that the power of the Peerless Sky Demon has far exceeded the limits of what we can withstand. It might even exceed the limits of what the Nine Elders can deal with.

“Is such a level of battle against this kind of powerful enemy something that you and I can participate in? I was ordered to bring you here because I had no other choice. Why are you still intending to interfere in a battle of this level?

I haven’t lived enough. If you want to die, go ahead. I’ll sever my relationship with you first.”

“Ah?!” Sun Wanshi was stunned this time, as if he was also frightened. He said with a trembling voice, “Then, then what should we do now? Master, can we leave Linjiang County directly?”

“What do you think?” The old man said with a look of disappointment, “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have let you take pills all the way to advance. Your cultivation path is too smooth.

We’re here on the orders of the Heaven Monarch of the sect. Even if we just stay here and do nothing, it’s much better than being punished for escaping.”

“Then what should we do next?” Sun Wanshi was really flustered this time.

“Let’s wait and see,” the old man said in a low voice. “Continue to observe in secret. Pay attention to the movements of that person in Guanzhou City and whether anyone else has come to visit. Try your best to verify that person’s identity.”

“What if it’s really that fleeing Deva and not the Peerless Sky Demon?” Sun Wanshi asked.

“Even then, I won’t take action either.” The old man shook his head and said, “We just need to find a way to lure others over. How can an ancient mystic realm be more important than my life?

“Wanshi, you have to remember that no matter what it is, be it contributions, rewards, or opportunities, they are not as important as your life. You have to be careful. After all, you can fight for everything else even after you’ve lost them, but if you lose your life, it’s really gone.”

“Disciple will follow Master’s teachings!” Sun Wanshi kowtowed.

However, he was still a little indignant.

He had used a Heaven Essence Immortal Pill to become a Deva. Although there was a lot less tempering and suffering this way, it also caused his cultivation to forever stop at the Deva Realm, and there was no possibility of breaking through.

Entering an ancient mystic realm and finding ancient divine medicines to be reborn and wash away the impurities in his body was his only hope.

He didn’t want to give up.

Hence, after Sun Wanshi bowed, he begged, “Master, I’m not strong enough. It’s easy to be discovered if I shadow someone. Can you give me a treasure to hide my aura?”

“Mm, I should indeed give you something.” The old man didn’t refuse this time. He took out a bronze mirror and handed it to Sun Wanshi. “This treasure is called the Breath Concealing Mirror. It can restrain your Deva aura and make you seem like an ordinary person. It’s easier to hide.”

“Thank you, Master!” Sun Wanshi took the mirror and hurriedly thanked him.

In his opinion, with this precious mirror, it would be more convenient for him to investigate the situation in Guanzhou City, and his chances of success would be higher.

When I enter the ancient mystic realm, I will definitely find a divine medicine that can transform my body! Sun Wanshi thought.

….

In an inn in Guanzhou City.

Cui Heng’s slightly closed eyes slowly opened. He looked in the direction of Sun Wanshi and his master and said in a low voice, “Nine Elders? Are they referring to the nine Mystic Deities who obtained the Immortal True Essence 3,000 years ago?

If that’s the case, they’re indeed still alive. After such a long time, have they already stepped into a new realm? Are they already comparable to the Nascent Soul realm?

The description of me given by the Heavenly Cycle Star Pavilion is only based on a portion of my strength when I was at the Grand Completion Golden Core Realm. However, for the Nine Elders to be so nervous, it means that they shouldn’t have the strength of the Nascent Soul realm.

Then is it the mid-stage or late-stage Golden Core realm? In order to deal with me, they need to gather all the Heaven Dew Crystals in the world. What use can this have?

This thing that has gathered the country’s luck and fused with some of the spirituality of the will of all living beings can be used to nurture the spirituality of Dharma treasures or magical creatures. But what else can it be used for?”

When Sun Wanshi left, Cui Heng had left an almost undetectable mark on his body.

The effect of this mark was similar to the Golden Core Divinity he’d created at the Grand Completion stage.

He could treat the mark as an extension of his divine sense.

This way, there would be no secrets in Sun Wanshi’s conversation with his master.

Cui Heng understood everything.

The biggest gain was information about the Nine Elders.

From the conversation between Sun Wanshi and his master, he roughly understood that the Nine Elders might not have stepped into the Nascent Soul realm.

However, the Nine Elders should have grasped the method to gather the power of the Heaven Dew Immortal Crystal and were confident in using this method to destroy the so-called “Sky Demon”.

Although the “Heaven Demon” described by them had only displayed a small portion of Cui Heng’s strength and was only at the Grand Completion Golden Core Realm, it was enough to prove that these “Nine Elders” definitely had some unknown powerful methods in their hands.

“What is this method?” Cui Heng instinctively became curious.

This was a characteristic of cultivators at the Nascent Soul realm. As long as one cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm, they would become curious about the unknown. It was almost instinctive.

The higher the level of the unknown, the stronger the reaction towards the unknown.

“When Hui Shi or Pei Qingshu come, I can ask them about the situation.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and retracted his gaze. He thought to himself, “I can put my trip to Daoyi Palace higher on the list of agenda.”

The Daoyi Palace already had a Taiyi Mystic Deity 3,000 years ago, and his cultivation level was above the Nine Elders.

Now, the Daoyi Palace was being crazily suppressed and targeted by the Nine Immortal Sects. Perhaps it was because something had happened to this Taiyi Mystic Deity.

Even if there was no problem, he had most likely fallen out with the Nine Immortal Sects. Otherwise, they would not have ended up in this situation.

In this way, it was possible to learn some secrets from this former Taiyi Mystic Deity.

At the same time, it could increase his cultivation of the Nascent Soul.

….

Song Zhong did his best to rush back to Linjiang County. He went straight to Naxian Hall to look for Hui Shi.

At this moment, Hui Shi was discussing the overall structure of the Naxian Hall with Pei Yue.

“Mr. Song, why are you back?” Pei Yuezhi was a little surprised to see Song Zhong in a hurry.

He was only an Inner World expert. Although he was the steward of the Naxian Hall in name, he still respected Song Zhong and Tang Huaiyi.

“The matter in Guanzhou City has been settled, but there’s another important matter,” Song Zhong explained. He didn’t directly say what the important matter was because he had been taught by Tang Huaiyi before he came and knew how to report the situation.

“Important matter?” Pei Yuezhi was slightly stunned when he heard this. Then, he glanced at Hui Shi beside him and smiled. “I still have some other things to deal with. You guys chat first.”

With that, he stood up and left.

“…” Song Zhong was a little embarrassed when he saw this. After Pei Yuezhi left, he lowered his voice and said to Hui Shi, “Deva Chen, is this fine? After all, this is the Pei family’s territory.”

“It doesn’t matter. Actually, he should already know my identity, but he didn’t do anything. This means that it’s the will of Deva Pei.” Hui Shi waved his hand and smiled. “Mr. Song has returned in a hurry. Do you have news of Immortal Venerable?”

“That’s right, Immortal Venerable is in Guanzhou City!” Song Zhong nodded.

“That’s great!” Hui Shi immediately became excited and said happily, “Follow me to pack my luggage. We’ll immediately go to pay our respects to Immortal Venerable. I’ve gathered a lot of information and am just waiting to report it to Immortal Venerable.”

….

After Pei Yuezhi walked out of the Naxian Hall, he pondered for a moment before making a decision.

He summoned a servant and said in a low voice, “Prepare the carriage and bring me a box of my great-grandfather’s favorite fruits. Then, send me to Heart Nourishing Courtyard in the south of the city.”

The Heart Nourishing Courtyard was the residence of Deva Pei. It was the backbone of the Linjiang Pei family and the core of their operations.
