Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 754: That Lord
Long Xuan—
The founder of Tianjige, the first Pavilion Master.
Seventy thousand years ago, he answered a mysterious call and departed from the First Seven Star Mountain in the Fairy Pond Small World.
After that, he entered the Cangnan Continent and established Tianjige.
He then instigated a series of persecutions against the Dragon God Sect.
Thirty thousand years ago, Long Xuan mysteriously disappeared, his whereabouts unknown.
Ye Yun could never have imagined that this incredibly mysterious person was hiding in the Changhe Immortal Palace.
Long Xuan, also known as the Dragon Fairy, was one of the Palace Masters of the Eight Major Immortal Palaces. It was said that among all eight, he was the most powerful.
Ye Yun recognized Long Xuan because, during his time at Seven Star Mountain, he had scanned the memories of the Seven Star Ancestors.
Long Xuan, known by the current Seven Stars Clanspeople as Dragon Xuan Ancestor, held an incredibly high status. He was also the only one who had left the Immortal Pond. Therefore, all Seven Star Ancestors knew what Dragon Xuan Ancestor looked like.
"Who are you?"
Looking at the unfamiliar white-robed youth before him, Long Xuan furrowed his brow.
This fellow opposite me actually managed to call out my true name instantly—what is his background?
These two outsiders have reached the Divine Monarch Realm; I wonder which power they belong to.
As far as I know, no such power exists on the Cangnan Continent.
"I’m just a passerby..."
Looking at Long Xuan, Ye Yun’s heart filled with delight. He clapped his hands and laughed, "Long Xuan! You mysteriously disappeared thirty thousand years ago, and to think you entered the Changhe Immortal Palace and became a Palace Master! How truly unexpected!"
For Ye Yun, the last time he was in the Fairy Pond Small World, he had regrettably failed to find any important clues regarding the Pavilion Master of Tianjige.
However, the ways of the world are truly wondrous. A loss may turn out to be a gain.
Ye Yun had actually found Long Xuan unintentionally within the Changhe Immortal Palace.
This can certainly be considered an unexpected joy.
As the founding ancestor of Tianjige, Long Xuan’s value and significance were immense.
"AH..."
"OOHHH..."
"SQUEAK..."
Just then, the five Palace Masters injured by Ruyi Jade Spider suddenly began to make all sorts of strange sounds. These sounds, one after another, were rapid and intense, like a fierce squall.
Long Xuan glanced over, his brow furrowing.
He saw Warrior Fairy, Sword Immortal, Poem Fairy, and the others all acting abnormally. Some were hunched over, some leaped up and down, some lay corpse-like on the ground, and others danced wildly. Without exception, they were all emitting strange noises from their mouths.
They resembled five clowns performing a New Year’s farce.
Especially Painting Immortal, the most beautiful among them, who was capering about like a monkey, making all sorts of bizarre and comical gestures that were unbearable to watch.
"TEE-HEE, this is so much fun!" Gazing at the scene, Ruyi Jade Spider burst into laughter, a sound like silver bells echoing through the space.
"Ruyi, these poisons of yours are truly eye-opening..." Ye Yun praised.
"Master, I’ve spared their petty lives. Rest assured, they definitely won’t be poisoned to death!" Ruyi Jade Spider said proudly.
"You little fiend, dispel their poison immediately, or I’ll make you pay!" Long Xuan snarled through clenched teeth, a CRACKLING sound emanating from the bones within his body.
Ruyi Jade Spider retorted furiously, "You say dispel, so I should dispel it? Who do you think you are?"
Still in her true spider form, her eight eyes swiveled in unison as she spoke, looking rather menacing.
"Well said. And who do you think you are?" Ye Yun stepped forward, positioning himself directly opposite Long Xuan.
"You—you intend to fight me?" Facing this fearlessly composed white-robed young man, Long Xuan’s expression turned grim.
He possessed a cultivation base at the fifth layer of the Divine Monarch Realm and was the foremost expert beneath Immortal Weng. For tens of thousands of years, almost no one had dared to challenge him.
With a flick of his wrist, an ancient Star Compass suddenly appeared in Long Xuan’s hand. The Star Compass spun rapidly, emitting a WHIRRING sound.
"For such a trivial matter, you still need to divine?" Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, a faint, mocking laugh escaping him.
In the small world of the Changhe Immortal Palace, though the sun still shone brightly and the sky was clear as jade, at this very moment, it had become enveloped by the power of Ye Yun’s Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye. In other words, no matter how adept Long Xuan was at divination, he would gain nothing.
Can’t divine it? Long Xuan’s heart sank, his gaze towards Ye Yun growing even more inscrutable.
However, the thought that he was currently within the Changhe Immortal Palace restored his composure—this white-robed youth opposite him, no matter how formidable, could he possibly be a match for Time Elder?
The other Palace Masters weren’t entirely clear on Time Elder’s true strength. Only he, Time Elder’s most favored disciple, truly understood how terrifying his master was.
"Long Xuan, there’s no need for further divination. I know you’re from Seven Star Mountain in the Immortal Pond. I also know you possess the bloodline of the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon. And I further know... you’ve racked your brains and spared no effort to deal with the Dragon God Sect, correct?" Ye Yun asked calmly.
In his statement, he had prefaced with two truths, then bluntly added the matter concerning the Dragon God Sect. Ye Yun simply wanted to observe Long Xuan’s reaction.
"You certainly know a great deal. Who on earth are you, Your Excellency? Did you enter the Changhe Immortal Palace specifically to find me?" Long Xuan’s face stiffened as he stared coldly at Ye Yun.
To be honest, he felt as if he had just been stripped bare.
This white-robed young man opposite me, with his vast Divine Skills, how could he possibly know about matters of the Fairy Pond Small World? Could it be... he has been to the Immortal Pond?
"Why would I be looking specifically for you? I came seeking longevity..." Ye Yun glanced around, chuckling nonchalantly.
Previously, in the Immortal Pond, Ye Yun’s Primordial Spirit had infiltrated the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion. He had encountered a Star Compass imprint that suddenly detonated, leading to the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion’s demise. Consequently, Ye Yun hadn’t obtained any useful information.
Long Xuan, as the founding ancestor of Tianjige, also cultivated the same Divine Skills. He must surely have a similar Star Compass imprint in his mind.
This time, Ye Yun planned to be more cautious and see if he could obtain some useful clues.
"Hmph! If you wish to seek longevity within the Changhe Immortal Palace, then you should conduct yourselves with humility! Today, I, Dragon Fairy, shall teach you a thorough lesson, lest Time Elder accuses you of not understanding etiquette!" Long Xuan sneered and suddenly lunged, reaching out to grab Ye Yun.
"Trying to make a move on me? You’re still a bit too green!" Ye Yun laughed heartily.
He extended his palm and pressed down from a distance. An immense, powerful force instantly bore down upon Long Xuan.
Long Xuan found it difficult to breathe, his face flushed crimson, and he was rendered completely immobile. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
How can this be? This person’s cultivation base... it’s even higher than mine! Gazing at Ye Yun, tumultuous waves surged through Long Xuan’s heart.
He had always been conceited and proud. Even though he had entered the Changhe Immortal Palace later than some, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, eventually surpassing the other seven. He ranked first among the Eight Major Palace Masters. Simultaneously, he was also Time Elder’s most cherished disciple.
Yet, Long Xuan had never imagined that despite his formidable power, he would be utterly helpless before this mysterious white-robed young man.
The other party’s cultivation base was at least at the tenth layer of the Divine Monarch Realm... or perhaps even the Half-step Divine Venerate Realm!
"Your Excellency... are you from the Divine Land?" Long Xuan’s eyes widened, his gaze burning intently into Ye Yun as he asked.
Racking his brains, he could only conclude that cultivators from the Divine Land would possess such formidable strength.
"Long Xuan, I am indeed from the Divine Land. It was that eminence from the Phoenix Clan who asked me to find you..." Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, smiling.
These words were a complete fabrication based on his own conjectures, uttered solely to test Long Xuan’s reaction.
"That eminence... actually sent you to find me? How is this possible?" Long Xuan looked utterly shocked and incredulous.
