On the 60th birthday of the system, my son’s engagement was annulled!

“Master, one of them is my younger sister, named Nangong Qingyi. She cultivates the Dao of Dance and has exceptional talent. I believe she has the potential to become a Celestial King.”

Nangong Yue was lavish in her praise of Nangong Qingyi.

Li Qingyue simply chuckled upon hearing this.

"Since she's your sister, Yue'er, then just accept her."

Li Qingyue didn't care whether Nangong Qingyi was as talented as Nangong Yue claimed. In Li Qingyue's view, even if she was a useless piece of trash, their vast Eight Immortal Palaces could afford to support her, and Xuan Yue Hall was not lacking in resources.

"There is another one, a fellow Daoist I met in the Hao Ri Universe, named Lin Xuan. He is a space-type cultivator and also possesses powerful lightning energy. His combat strength is extremely strong. I would like to recommend him to join our Eight Immortal Palaces and become a steward of our Eight Immortal Palaces."

Nangong Yue's words made Li Qingyue frown slightly.

Taking on disciples is a matter that the heads of the seventy-two halls can decide at will; it is a right that a hall head should have. However, it is different for the stewards.

Deacons need to be registered in the departmental roster and require the lord's consent. Even Nangong Yue's appointment as a deacon of the Eight Immortal Palaces required the consent of the Kun Department lord.

"This is not easy. It mainly depends on the abilities of the cultivator you mentioned. And because he joined our Eight Immortal Palace midway through his journey, the assessment is extremely rigorous."

"You can rest assured, Master. I believe he is absolutely fine."

Nangong Yue practically patted her chest to assure Li Qingyue.

"Hehe, it seems you're quite confident in the person you're talking about."

Li Qingyue looked at Nangong Yue with amusement.

Nangong Yue felt a chill run down her spine under Li Qingyue's amused gaze and could only cough awkwardly twice.

"Master, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Tell your master, are you interested in that space-type cultivator you mentioned?"

Li Qingyue's words struck Nangong Yue like a thunderbolt, leaving her stunned on the spot.

"No! That's not true. It's just that the person is indeed very powerful, and he even saved me in the Hao Ri Immortal Realm. If it weren't for his help, I would most likely have perished in the Hao Ri Immortal Realm."

Nangong Yue mentioned Lin Xuan's life-saving grace, but she did not reveal Ao Cang's existence.

After all, Ao Cang is a genuine Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon, and even a Celestial Emperor-level powerhouse would be tempted by him.

Although Nangong Yue trusted her master completely, she did not want to cause trouble for Lin Xuan.

"Haha, okay." Li Qingyue laughed heartily.

"In that case, let that cultivator named Lin Xuan participate in the promotion meeting seven days from now, just use the name of our Xuan Yue Hall."

As Li Qingyue spoke, she tossed a token symbolizing the identity of Xuan Yue Hall to Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue was overjoyed to receive the token.

"Thank you Master!"

Nangong Yue carefully put away the token and immediately left.

Li Qingyue looked at Nangong Yue, who was leaving the main hall, with a very complicated expression in her eyes.

As Nangong Yue walked out of Xuan Yue Hall, she was greeted by more than a dozen people.

"Junior Sister Yue, you're back, why didn't you tell your senior brother?"

More than a dozen figures blocked Nangong Yue's path.

The leader was dressed in a bright red brocade robe, with a handsome appearance, a tall and straight figure, and bright, piercing eyes.

"Senior Brother Yang, I don't think I need to report my return to you."

Nangong Yue looked at the person in front of her, her tone indifferent, conveying a sense of detachment.

Yang Xiong was already used to Nangong Yue's distant tone, and smiled indifferently.

"No, it's just that I've been thinking about you a lot these past few years since you went to Haori Immortal Realm."

Yang Xiong made no attempt to hide his feelings for Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue felt a sense of helplessness. Yang Xiong was the son of the leader of Hurricane Hall, one of the Seventy-Two Halls, and his status and position were extremely high. In particular, the leader of Hurricane Hall was also trusted by the lord of Qian Department, one of the Eight Divisions, which further enhanced Yang Xiong's status and position.

"Senior brother, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Nangong Yue didn't want to get entangled with Yang Xiong any longer, so she immediately said goodbye and left the scene.

As Yang Xiong watched Nangong Yue's departing figure, the smile in his eyes gradually faded.

"Senior brother, that woman is really stubborn and will do anything to get what she deserves. Becoming your Daoist partner is something that countless women dream of!"

"Yes, yes, this Nangong Yue, born into the Nangong family of the Haori Immortal Domain, whose strongest member is only an Immortal King, and she herself is not favored, yet she can still be so arrogant!"

"Senior brother, although Nangong Yue has good talent, there are many women in our Eight Immortal Palaces who are more powerful than her!"

The dozen or so people around Yang Xiong began to speak up for him, and many of them even started to verbally abuse Nangong Yue.

"Hehe, that's what makes a woman interesting. I'm not someone who's obsessed with beauty, and there are plenty of women prettier than her, but I'm just particularly fascinated by her personality."

Yang Xiong coldly curled the corners of his lips, looking at the distant sky with an unusually fervent gaze.

The dozen or so people around him looked at each other, none of them understanding what Yang Xiong was thinking.

Nangong Yue found Lin Xuan and Nangong Qingyi's lodging place through telepathy.

"Alright, everything is settled. Qingyi, you can come directly with me to the Xuan Yue Hall of the Eight Immortal Palaces. There is no need for any assessment. You can become a disciple of our Eight Immortal Palaces directly."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Qingyi was overjoyed, as she had thought she would have to pass an assessment before she could join the Eight Immortal Palaces.

The Eight Immortal Palaces are a well-known and powerful force in the entire Immortal Realm, and their conditions for recruiting talent are extremely demanding. Nangong Qingyi was initially quite apprehensive, fearing that she would not pass the Eight Immortal Palaces' assessment.

But to my surprise, my third sister gave me such a big surprise: I could join the Eight Immortal Palace without any assessment. This is something that countless people would never dare to dream of.

Lin Xuan glanced at Nangong Yue with slight surprise.

While using privileges is a normal thing, the fact that Nangong Yue was able to open such a big back door for Nangong Qingyi is enough to show that Nangong Yue's status in the Eight Immortal Palaces is not low, at least in the Xuan Yue Hall.

"What about Lin Xuan?!"

After her initial excitement subsided, Nangong Qingyi immediately pressed for more information. Lin Xuan wasn't particularly concerned about joining the Eight Immortal Palaces; if given the opportunity, he only wanted to leverage their status to help him find a place within the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect.

"Seven days from now, our Eight Immortal Palaces will hold a promotion ceremony. This will be an internal assessment meeting for our Eight Immortal Palaces. If you pass the assessment, you will be able to become a steward of our Eight Immortal Palaces."

Nangong Yue's words slightly disappointed Nangong Qingyi, who had hoped to also get Lin Xuan into the Eight Immortal Palace.

"Don't be disappointed, little girl. The deacons are middle-level members of our Eight Immortal Palaces. At this stage, it is up to the lords of the Eight Palaces to make the decision. Even my master cannot directly decide the appointment of a deacon. But with your strength, Lin Xuan, passing this test will be a piece of cake, no problem at all."

Nangong Yue first jokingly scolded Nangong Qingyi, then looked at Lin Xuan and affirmed.

Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head upon hearing this.

Whether it will work out or not depends on the performance on the day. I wouldn't say I have any absolute confidence.

"This is our Xuan Yue Hall's token. With this token, you will be eligible to participate in the promotion meeting in seven days."

Nangong Yue tossed the token given to her by her master, Li Qingyue, to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan took the token. The front of the token had the four large characters "Eight Immortal Palaces" written on it, and the back had five characters written on it. The top two characters were "Kun Department" and the bottom three characters were "Xuan Yue Hall".

"This is the token of our Xuan Yue Hall. By holding this token, you are representing our Xuan Yue Hall."

Nangong Yue immediately began to explain to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly and put the token into his inner space. For Lin Xuan now, ordinary spatial storage tools were no longer of any use, and his inner space was much more convenient.

“Generally speaking, our Eight Immortal Palaces hold a promotion meeting every five hundred years. This promotion meeting is a competition among the seventy-two halls to promote inner disciples, core disciples, deacons, and even elders, and even more so, elders of the Divine Dragon Hall, and even lords and hall masters!”

"And you represent our Xuan Yue Hall. If you can successfully advance, then our Xuan Yue Hall will also have corresponding rewards. If you successfully advance, you will become an official steward of the Eight Immortal Palaces. At this time, you will need to choose one of the seventy-two halls to join. However, generally speaking, those who successfully advance from whichever hall they come from will join their original hall."

The beginning of this passage naturally explained the importance of their Eight Immortal Palaces' advancement ceremony to Lin Xuan, while the latter part focused more on informing Lin Xuan that he should join their Xuan Yue Hall after successfully advancing.
Lin Xuan smiled upon hearing this, but did not respond to Nangong Yue.

"Alright, now you two come with me."

Nangong Yue said no more, waved her hand, and prepared to lead Lin Xuan and the other into the Eight Immortal Palaces.

"Oh right, tell Ao Cang to hide well. After all, there are many experts in the Eight Immortal Palaces, including quite a few Immortal King level experts. It will be very troublesome if he is discovered."

Nangong Yue's reminder was very necessary.

Lin Xuan glanced at Ao Cang, who was still perched on his shoulder.

Ao Cang was somewhat helpless, but he could only obediently fly into Lin Xuan's inner space.

If the Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon were to appear in the Eight Immortal Palaces, it's quite possible that a lord or palace master at the Immortal Emperor level would personally come down to snatch it.

At that time, Lin Xuan, being only a Golden Immortal, really wouldn't be able to stop him.

The Eight Celestial Palaces.

As a super sect that has stood in the Immortal Realm for millions of years, the Eight Immortal Palaces have a very rich historical background, and the establishment of the entire Immortal Court appears quite elegant and grand.

Lin Xuan and Nangong Qingyi were quite amazed as they walked through the Eight Immortal Palaces.

The architecture in the Hao Ri Immortal Realm is far inferior to this millennia-old structure; they are not even in the same league and are incomparable.

"Our Eight Immortal Palaces have a history of over 14 million years since their establishment. In the entire Immortal Realm, we can be considered an old-established power. Although we do not have any powerful Immortal Venerables guarding us, even ordinary Immortal Venerables are unwilling to offend our Eight Immortal Palaces."

"Besides our reputation, we also have excellent relationships with many top forces in the immortal realm."

At this moment, Nangong Yue acted as if she were the hostess, introducing the Eight Immortal Palaces to Lin Xuan and Nangong Qingyi.

"Then what about Big Brother's Nine Heavens Immortal Palace? What kind of power is that?"

Nangong Qingyi suddenly asked.

Nangong Yue simply smiled faintly upon hearing this.

"Nine Heavens Immortal Palace is a newly emerging force, with a history of just over a million years. Although it has a strong momentum for development, it lacks sufficient foundation and is far inferior to our Eight Immortal Palaces."

After walking and stopping for two hours, the group finally arrived at Xuan Yue Hall.

"Steward Nangong, the Hall Master went to the Divine Dragon Hall. It seems that all seventy-two Hall Masters went there."

Nangong Yue originally wanted to take Lin Xuan and Nangong Qingyi to meet her master first, so that her master would not disbelieve what she said. However, she did not expect that her master had already set off for the Divine Dragon Palace.

"The promotion meeting is considered one of the grand events within our Eight Immortal Palaces, so before each meeting, the hall masters would go to the Divine Dragon Hall to report for the meeting."

Nangong Yue continued to explain to Lin Xuan and the other person.

Lin Xuan pursed his lips but didn't say anything more.

"The conference is in seven days, Lin Xuan. I will compile a list of those to be promoted to stewards this time, so that you can prepare accordingly."

Nangong Yue went to great lengths to help Lin Xuan enter the Eight Immortal Palace, preparing everything for him.

Nangong Qingyi looked at her usually calm and collected third sister with some curiosity. Ever since they escaped from the Haori Immortal Realm together, Nangong Yue's attitude towards Lin Xuan had changed a lot.

Lin Xuan also sensed it, after all, he was a Casanova with several confidantes, so he was very perceptive about these things.

But Lin Xuan really didn't want to think about these things now, after all, he had too many things to do.

He will find the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect in the Nine Cauldrons Immortal Realm, bring back Lin Fan and the others, find his first wife Jun Mengyu, find Li Hongyi who has cultivated the Supreme Forgetfulness, find Zhan Tai Mingyue and Xiao Ya'er who disappeared in the Great Wilderness Empire, find Wu Yilan and her son and Fan Lishi, find his nephew Lin Yang's son Lin Tian and Lin Lin who took him away, and revive his lover Gong Wuyue...

Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh as he thought about these things. He had so many things to do. The most direct way to solve these problems was to improve his strength. Once he was strong enough, these problems would probably not be problems at all.

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Nangong."

Lin Xuan smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue frowned slightly; she didn't like the title "Fellow Daoist Nangong."

"If you'd like, you can just call me Nangong Yue."

After finishing her speech, Nangong Yue left the accommodations arranged for Lin Xuan and his companion.

Nangong Qingyi's lips curled up slightly.

"I never expected that my older sister would be so captivated by you." (End of Chapter)
