Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 785: This World Moves
The mysterious land of southern Xinjiang, Baiguo Mountain.

The green moss is piled with blue, the white clouds are floating on jade, and the light shakes pieces of haze.

When the world was at peace, a five-colored light falling from afar broke the tranquility.

“Ancestor, Ancestor!”

Before the escaping light stopped, the hoarse voice had already echoed through the mountains.

However, compared with the previous cheerful and lively tone, this time there was a bit more anxiety.

The group of demons that had been wandering around this place, eager to see the Demon Ancestor, couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong with Senior Hua? I remember a few years ago, his youngest son had a problem with his cultivation and nearly went astray. He wasn't this anxious when he came to the Demon Ancestor for help, right?"

"Who said it wasn't? Could it be that something big happened again this time?"

Just as the monsters were speculating, a civet cat boy flew out from Baiguo Mountain, called Hua Meimei and entered the mountain gate.

"Senior Hua, what are you looking for? The ancestor just reprimanded you last time, telling you not to come out of seclusion so many times..."

The raccoon boy led the way while looking back to give kind reminders.

Hua Meimei seemed unable to wait any longer. She trotted a few steps, grabbed the boy and held him under her armpit, then took off into the air and sped forward.

"I know this road better than you do, so don't waste your time!"

The raccoon boy was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, flailing his limbs as he said, "Senior Hua, please don't be rude..."

"What rudeness! Master Hua is here for something important, a very important matter!"

The light of escape flew at a high speed, and in a moment it crossed the bluestone jade steps and arrived in front of a cave.

Bai Jin had already noticed this and stepped out, frowning helplessly. "What are you doing here, you rascal? What's the big deal? If you can't tell me, I won't let you off this time!"

He wanted to scare Hua Meimei, but she suddenly screamed "Ah!" and threw the raccoon cat boy aside. She then fell to her knees and cried out sadly, "Ancestor..."

Bai Jin's eyes twitched, and he suppressed his anger and said in a muffled voice: "The old man is not dead yet, what are you doing?!"

Hua Meimei ignored him and continued crying, "Ancestor, my good brother who risked his life for me is now in imminent danger..."

The raccoon boy who had been thrown aside had just regained his balance when he muttered, "Why is it almost the same as what we said last time..."

He recalled the two figures in his memory, and the only difference was that the one shouting last time was: "Ancestor, my poor little son is in imminent danger..."

Bai Jin had the same feeling, thinking to himself that he was the ancestor of the demon clan, and he had helped him save his youngest son once, so why did he have to save his good brother again?

"Little flower boy, who do you think this old man is? The devil's calamity is coming, and this old man is busy and exhausted. You are not only practicing in a restless and obedient way, but you also bother this old man everywhere. Do you want this old man to take action against every little cat and dog?"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He immediately threw away the crutch in his hand, pointed at Hua Meimei and started cursing.

Hua Meimei seemed to be stunned for a moment, her eyes wide open, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Bai Jinfang breathed a sigh of relief and began to exhort in a serious tone: "Little Hua, I'm not saying anything to you, but the most urgent thing is to..."

But before he could finish his words, Hua Meimei suddenly shouted, "Chen Mu, something happened to Chen Mu!"

"What!!"

Bai Jin's color suddenly changed, in stark contrast to his previous reaction.

"What happened?"

After Hua Meimei explained everything in a few words, he picked up the crutch beside him and hit her on the head with his backhand, shouting angrily, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Hua Meimei cried out in pain, anger welling up in her heart: "You old man are so unreasonable, didn't I tell you that right away?"

Bai Jin had no intention of listening to him. After a brief thought, he immediately wrapped up his eyebrows, turned into a stream of light, broke through the sky, and headed towards the East China Sea at a high speed.

"You drank the old man's ginkgo wine and haven't even paid back the interest yet, how could I let anything happen to you?!"

……

Beiyuan, Zhao State.

In the main hall of Shuiyunjian, Niu Dali led Xu Jingyang to a seat and asked with a smile, "Brother Xu, you've finally come here, why do you look so worried?"

Xu Jingyang subconsciously wanted to force a laugh, but he was so depressed that he couldn't laugh in the end.

After reaching out to stop the spiritual tea offered by the maid, he sighed deeply and said, "Brother Niu, I won't waste any more words. I came here to ask, does your sect still have Brother Chen's life tablet for worship?"

Because Chen Mu took over the Zhongzhou Shangzhen Palace, Fushan Changhe returned the original life plate to Chen Mu in accordance with the rules of the mountain gate. As a result, after they learned that Chen Mu was in trouble, they were unable to judge whether he was dead or alive based on the life plate.

With the thought that Shuiyunjian might still exist, he volunteered to come and report this matter, and also wanted to take this opportunity to ask a question...

Niu Dali frowned immediately: "Brother Xu, why do you suddenly ask this?"

He thought briefly and continued, "I took back Brother Chen's life token when he returned last time. After all, my Shuiyunjian is weak, so I did this to prevent those with ulterior motives from using it to target me..."

Although he had expected it, Xu Jingyang still felt a chill in his heart and shook his head in disappointment.

Seeing that Niu Dali was becoming more and more confused, he did not hide anything. After taking a deep breath, he told Niu Dali that Chen Mu was trapped and his life or death was uncertain.

The voice grew fainter, and Niu Dali's expression grew graver. He clenched his right hand, which was resting on the edge of the seat, and muttered, "How could this be?"

Xu Jingyang also looked dejected, but he still said graciously, "Brother Niu, please don't get hurt for now. Our sect's ancestor Tianxing has already gone to ask the True Lord for help. He should be arriving at the East Sea Immortal Palace by now."

"The True Lords of Transformation are the top cultivators in this world. With their help, why worry about not being able to save Brother Chen?"

"To be honest, Brother Niu, although I am only at the Golden Core stage, I am still willing to go to the East China Sea to help. If you are also interested, why not come with me..."

Niu Dali stood up suddenly and was about to agree, but suddenly thought of someone.

After a pause, he replied in a deep voice, "Brother Xu, please go ahead. I'll catch up later."

Xu Jingyang nodded when he heard this, and without asking the reason, he bowed his head and turned to leave.

Niu Dali was silent for a moment, then took a step forward, heading towards a field of red leaves.

"Such a big thing, there's no reason to hide it from her..."

……

East China Sea, Iwakawa Sea area.

A flash of silver lightning flashed across the sky, and dark clouds surged like waves.

Above the boat, smoke and mist were mixed.

The air was choking and a heavy rain was about to fall at any moment.

As the footsteps approached, Liu Tianxuan came to his senses and looked towards the cabin door.

The He family patriarch bowed and walked in. After taking a few steps closer, he whispered, "Ancestor Liu, at least a thousand unfamiliar cultivators have entered our Yanchuan Sea area in recent days, and most of them have impressive cultivation. Do you think we should... notify the Dragon Palace to prevent the situation from getting out of control..."

He raised his eyes slightly, a hint of fear flashing in them.

He is also the leader of a clan, and his cultivation has reached the late Golden Core stage, but he still feels fear in his heart. This shows how many foreign cultivators have gathered in the Yanchuan Sea area today.

Liu Tianxuan's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Chen Mu alone would attract so many foreign cultivators. And judging from the scale, it was still expanding.

"With all this going on, why do we need to pass on the news?"

He spoke slowly, then, seemingly activating his internal injuries, he coughed uncontrollably twice. Seeing this, the He family's head quickly said, "The ancestor's injuries haven't healed yet. Why don't you go back for now?"

Liu Tianxuan waved his hand, calmed down a little, and looked up at the distant sky again.

There was a mysterious and profound wave lingering there, which ordinary people could not detect, but he knew that it was left by the two True Lords who came yesterday.

"If the True Lord cannot be found, what's the point of more people coming?"

He sighed secretly: "Chen Mu... is he really going to die like this?"

"The devil's calamity is approaching, but the Xuanmen's foundation is suffering losses."

"It seems that things are about to change in the Taiyi Xuanling Realm..."

As he was thinking, his heart suddenly trembled, and then he realized something and turned to look at the other side.

Then I saw the waves surging in the sea towards the far east, the mysterious energy rolling, and endless spiritual energy passing through the sky, and the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly dispersed.

Instantly, all the cultivators in the Yanchuan Sea area felt a surge of inspiration. The outside cultivators were not very familiar with this situation and were inevitably surprised. They couldn't help but ask, "Who came here and caused such a commotion?!"

The local monks all bowed their heads and waited, with no time to respond, appearing extremely respectful.

Liu Tianxuan's heart moved, and he thought to himself: "Dragon Palace, they are here as expected..."

With the True Lord passing through, there is no reason why people from the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea would not come.

"I just don't know who is coming?"

"Prime Minister Gui has only been in the country for a short time, so it makes sense for him to come..."

Not long after, the sedan chair approached, and when everyone saw the grand scene, they were stunned again.

Hundreds of armored warriors led the way, dozens of beautiful maidens held fans and incense burners, surrounding a jade chariot that looked imposing. The people accompanying them were actually a group of dragon sons and daughters!
After careful identification, it is clear that there are the eldest princess, the second prince, the fifth prince, the seventh princess...

The identity of a person who can have such a grand ceremony is self-evident.

"It's actually the Dragon Palace Master's mother!"

Everyone's heart was shaken, and they quickly bowed and said, "We respectfully welcome the Dragon Queen..."

The jade curtain moved slightly, and a graceful figure like an eternal figure stepped out. With a faint smile, she ignored the greetings from below and soared upwards.

"How come you two fellow Daoists came here so suddenly without informing me?"

The sound is ethereal, but those who pay attention can hear a hint of displeasure in it.

Pingyang and Xuyun appeared, bowed their heads and said, "This is an urgent matter. We are sorry for our impoliteness. We hope that Fellow Daoist Jin will understand."

After all, the East China Sea is the Dragon Palace. They rashly entered and caused such a big commotion, so they really need to be given an explanation.

Seeing the two of them like this, the Dragon Mother stopped talking. Looking at their solemn faces, she turned to the main topic and asked, "Have you two Taoist friends made any progress?"

Pingyang and the other man looked at each other, sighed and shook their heads.

"The secret realm is elusive, as Fellow Daoist Jin knows. It's no easy feat for us to cross the realm and search for it..."

The Dragon Mother frowned slightly, seeming to be quite regretful.

"So, has Young Master Chen really fallen into a dead end?"

Pingyang didn't answer immediately, so Xuyun asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Jin, are you so concerned about Chen Mu?"

The first question could be considered a casual greeting from the host, but the follow-up questions felt a little unusual.

If an ordinary person were to listen, he would not be able to hear or sense anything else, but Xuyun has practiced Taoism for thousands of years, so how could he ignore it?

The Dragon Mother's eyes flickered slightly, and she admitted frankly with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xuyun, you may not know that Young Friend Chen and my Dragon Palace are very close. If he hadn't declined, he would have become my Dragon Palace's ideal son-in-law by now. How could I not be concerned about such a young man?"

This explanation is reasonable...

Xuyun nodded slightly and returned to the topic, "The Immortal Palace's secret realm has been hidden, and ordinary methods cannot break through the numerous barriers. After discussing with fellow Daoist Pingyang, I decided to set up the 'Six Extremes Delusion-Breaking Xumi Formation' and send one person's soul to escape into the universe in order to determine the true location of the Immortal Palace..."

"Sumeru Formation?"

The Dragon Mother wasn't too surprised. She simply said, "This is indeed a good idea. I just wonder...how likely are the two Daoists to actually set up a grand formation? And which Daoist is willing to take the risk and escape with their souls?"

At this time, Master Pingyang took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "Chen Mu is our Beiyuan Immortal Talent, you can go down and find him."

Xuyun's expression was somewhat touched, but he still agreed with what Pingyang said.

Seeing this, the Dragon Mother smiled meaningfully: "It seems... Mr. Chen is truly a genius from Beiyuan."

Xuyun pretended not to hear and said in a deep voice, "As for the 'Six Extremes Delusion-Breaking Xumi Formation,' Fellow Daoist Jin's arrival is just in time. With the strength of the two of us, it is indeed difficult to support such a large formation. However, since Chen Mu and Gui Gong are so close, I believe Fellow Daoist will not stand idly by, right?"

The Dragon Mother was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "So you are waiting for me here..."

She thought about it and accepted it happily: "After all, Mr. Chen is in danger in my East China Sea, so I should lend a hand."

Upon hearing this, Xuyun and Pingyang both felt relieved.

The Dragon Mother seemed to be living a life of luxury and had never had to do any housework, but the two of them knew that her cultivation and combat power were no less than any of theirs.

With her help, they can save a lot of time...

High in the sky, three people hid their figures and prepared for the formation. The quiet atmosphere in the field changed, and everyone's minds suddenly became active.

"I didn't expect that Dragon Palace would actually help out. I wonder whose favor they're giving?"

"This fellow Daoist is taking it for granted. When has the Dragon Palace ever considered the face of others? This move must be of my own will..."

"I just don't believe that the Dragon Queen won't consider it even if two True Lords speak up."

Many people couldn't contain their curiosity and made many guesses, but they didn't dare to say too much for fear that the people in the Dragon Palace would hear it and bring trouble upon themselves.

Little did he know that the dragon sons and daughters were all thinking differently at this time, so he had no time to eavesdrop on what they said.

Ao Yun's expression was the most complicated among the few people. He was surprised and puzzled, but also regretful and admiring. Even the look he gave Ao Yi was filled with a hint of pity.

Recalling his eldest sister's promise to the Queen Mother, he couldn't help but ponder, "Chen Mu, Chen Mu, on what basis could you possibly have persuaded me, your eldest sister who never smiled at the Queen Mother since childhood, to make such a solemn promise?"

He didn't know for sure, but did anyone know...

Ao Chunyin clenched his teeth, his gaze fixed on Ao Yi for a while, then drifted to the distant sky, as if penetrating the void and landing on someone's figure.

"He really is having an affair with my eldest sister, and I've been trying to show my affection to him time and time again."

"He didn't tell me about this. Is he trying to make me laugh?"

"It would be better if those who are hypocritical and insincere were dead!"

Thinking of this, she was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized it and secretly spat three times.

"Forget it, being hypocritical isn't a capital crime. Chen Mu, it's better for you to be alive..."
