“Greetings, Elder Li.”
“Elder Li, what brings you back from Tianqiong Mountain?”
At the Cloud Mountain Holy Land, the Yunshan disciples guarding the mountain gate hurriedly saluted Elder Li from the Tianqiong Mountain branch hall.
Elder Li, a master at the Divine King Realm, oversees a first-tier branch. Although stationed elsewhere, he still holds a high status in the Cloud Mountain Holy Land.
Elder Li stood proudly, full of vigor: “I have found the person the Sect Leader is looking for and wish to have an audience with the Sect Leader.”
“I didn’t expect Elder Li from Tianqiong Mountain to find the person!”
The Cloud Mountain Holy Land disciples looked on with envy.
The Sect Leader had announced that whoever finds Su Qian’er would receive five Ninth Grade Immortal Pills.
This was truly a fortunate turn for Elder Li.
While Elder Li conversed with the Cloud Mountain Holy Land disciples, Su Qian’er and the Misty Rain Pavilion members were astounded by the grandeur of the Yunshan mountain range.
The Yunshan mountain range, towering ten thousand feet and extending over a hundred thousand miles, is famous for its persistent mist and abundant nature’s spiritual energy, with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures easily found. It is a renowned Cave Heaven Blessed Land in the southern Immortal Realm and one of the Human Race Holy Lands, where the Cloud Mountain Holy Land is located.
Compared to such a colossal entity as the Cloud Mountain Holy Land, the Misty Rain Pavilion, which Su Qian’er established after her Tribulation ascent, seemed as insignificant as an ant.
Who would have thought they’d one day set foot in the legendary Cloud Mountain Holy Land, or even have the chance to meet its Sect Leader?
“Pavilion Master, if you could cultivate in such a Cave Heaven Blessed Land, with your aptitude, you would have already reached the Immortal Emperor Realm.”
“Who would have thought we could one day enter the Cloud Mountain Holy Land; it’s worth dying for.”
The disciples of the Misty Rain Pavilion were full of admiration. Just at the gate of the Cloud Mountain Holy Land, they could feel the terrifying aura of the Yunshan mountain range.
At the gate of the Cloud Mountain Holy Land, there was even a Divine King Realm Xuan Turtle lying quietly, resembling a mountain, showing no interest in them.
The entire Misty Rain Pavilion was not even stronger than a single Mountain-guarding Divine Beast.
“You will accompany me to meet the Sect Leader, while others will be greeted by the Yunshan disciples, who will guide you around the Cloud Mountain Holy Land. However, you will not have permission to see the restricted areas such as the back mountain.”
Elder Li had already informed the Yunshan disciples to treat the Misty Rain Pavilion disciples with hospitality.
Although the disciples of the Misty Rain Pavilion did not have the chance to meet Qiyun True Sovereign, being able to enter the Cloud Mountain Holy Land to see the sights was already a tremendous opportunity, for which they all expressed their gratitude.
The news that Su Qian’er had been found by Elder Li quickly spread throughout the Cloud Mountain Holy Land, with many elders and disciples lamenting having missed such a great opportunity that Elder Li seized.
Su Qian’er curiously observed everything about the Cloud Mountain Holy Land.
Since arriving in the Immortal Realm, she’d never been to such a Human Race Holy Land.
Any Elder she saw was of higher cultivation level than hers.
The cultivation resources of the Cloud Mountain Holy Land were beyond what her small sect could compare.
But all these elders’ gazes were full of envy, while Elder Li carried himself with an air of immense advantage.
Why was this?
Quickly, Su Qian’er was brought to the grand hall of the Cloud Mountain Holy Land.
This was a majestic hall, six hundred feet high, radiating brilliance. As soon as Su Qian’er entered, she became the focus of attention, with dozens of powerful auras fixating on her.
These auras were profoundly strong.
Zhao Lang, the leader of the Snow Wolf Gang, was insignificant before these Cloud Mountain Holy Land elders.
At the main seat sat an elder with an aura of celestial demeanor and profound Dao Bone. His aura was even more terrifying, and Su Qian’er couldn’t determine what heaven-piercing level his cultivation had reached.
Su Qian’er had never seen so many powerful figures before.
Is this the world of the strong?
Li Tiangang hurriedly stepped forward to salute: “Li Tiangang greets the Sect Leader.”
Was this old Daoist the Qiyun True Sovereign of the Cloud Mountain Holy Land?
Su Qian’er, having roamed the southern Immortal Realm for a million years, had heard legends of Qiyun True Sovereign.
Qiyun True Sovereign, a peerless genius of the Cloud Mountain Holy Land, once ranked among the top three on the Qilin Ranking in his youth, dominated the southern Immortal Realm, undefeated, annihilating countless Demon Sects.
Demons in the southern Immortal Realm feared him like the plague.
Later, Qiyun True Sovereign achieved Great Accomplishment in Divine Skills, succeeded as the Cloud Mountain Holy Land’s Sect Leader, and thereafter rarely appeared in the outer world.
It is rumored that Qiyun True Sovereign’s cultivation had reached an unfathomable state.
“Li Tiangang, you have done well.”
Qiyun True Sovereign stroked his beard with great satisfaction.
This way, Lu Qinglian would owe him a considerable favor.
Seeing Su Qian’er looking around, seemingly searching for Lu Qinglian’s whereabouts, he said, “I have already sent someone to inform Lu; she will be here shortly.”
Su Qian’er finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Tiangang mentioned what had occurred in the territory of Tianqiong Mountain: “Sect Leader, besides finding her, I also encountered another matter.”
Upon hearing that even minor sects like the Snow Wolf Gang had obtained Demon Realm techniques, Qiyun True Sovereign and several Yunshan elders grew solemn.
“It’s unexpected that the Blood Sea Palace and Evil Extreme Sect are expanding so rapidly in the Immortal Realm; many sects within Cloud Mountain Holy Land’s domain have been infiltrated.”
Qiyun True Sovereign, holding authority over the Cloud Mountain Holy Land, could soon face a significant threat from the Demon Sects infiltrating his domain.
An elder remarked, “Some sect leaders, knowing their lifespan is near its end with no hope of breakthrough, find immense allure in cultivating demonic arts. The Blood Sea Palace and Evil Extreme Sect can provide them with Demon Sect Techniques to quickly boost their cultivation levels and extend their lifespan, making these sects likely to ally with the Blood Sea Palace and Evil Extreme Sect. Our Cloud Mountain Holy Land is powerless against this.”
“This indeed presents a dilemma.”
Qiyun True Sovereign was also aware of the allure Demon Sect Techniques held for some sects.
