Chapter 3313: East Xuanzhou Realm Group, North Sea Immortal Domain

Apex of the Green Lotus

The young man in the golden shirt was named Su Yuxin. He was in the early stage of the Integration Realm, a newly promoted Integration cultivator of the Su family, having reached this stage less than three thousand years ago. In recent years, he had frequently traveled outside.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Zhang, welcome to our patriarch’s birthday celebration. Please come in,” Su Yuxin said, making a welcoming gesture and personally ushering them into Golden Python Ridge.

After flying for over a million li, they saw numerous buildings, as well as many cultivators and exotic birds and beasts.Su Yuxin led them to the airspace above a towering emerald-green mountain peak. The peak was dotted with many structures, including tranquil manors and standalone pavilions.Wang Qingshan and his two companions stayed in a quiet manor, while Immortal Jade Butterfly and her group resided next door. “We have many guests celebrating with us, so please bear with us if our hospitality is lacking,” Su Yuxin said courteously, giving a few instructions before departing.

“It’s a bit strange for Senior Su to personally greet us! Is he just being hospitable?” Wang Xiukun said curiously.When an Integration cultivator visited the Wang family, Wang Moshan usually greeted them personally, unless the guest was very important, in which case another Integration cultivator of the Wang family might greet them.“Perhaps. Since we’re here, let’s make the best of it,” Wang Qingshan replied dismissively. He also noticed something amiss but chose not to point it out.His acquaintance with Su Yuxin wasn't deep enough to warrant such a personal welcome. Could it be because he had advanced to the late Integration stage? Or was it due to Immortal Jade Butterfly?Unable to figure it out, he decided not to dwell on it. In any case, this trip was merely to expand his network and exchange cultivation resources.

In a secret chamber, Su Yuxin was speaking with a pale, yellow-robed old man. The old man had a round face and small eyes, and his complexion looked poor.This was Su Yilei, in the middle stage of the Integration Realm, the patriarch of the Su family.Su Yilei had led his clansmen into Tianyi Valley to search for treasures, where they encountered two seventh-rank high-grade Six-Eyed Sand Spiders. The Su family suffered heavy losses; apart from Su Yilei, all other clansmen were killed.This expedition to Tianyi Valley cost the Su family two Integration cultivators and more than a dozen Void Refinement cultivators, a devastating loss. To make matters worse, news of their weakness somehow leaked, leading rival forces to frequently cause trouble and seize many of the Su family’s interests.Su Yilei was severely injured and unable to appear publicly. Su Yuxin, having only recently entered the Integration Realm, was not strong enough to resist, so they had to concede.As the saying goes, "the kind are bullied, and the weak are ridden." The Su family's concessions only emboldened their rivals, who became increasingly aggressive. The Su family was forced to hold a grand birthday celebration for Su Yilei, partly to dispel rumors and partly to use the event to deter rival forces by showcasing the Su family's extensive connections.

“What? Fellow Daoist Wang has advanced to the late Integration stage?” Su Yilei asked in surprise.“Yes, that’s right. When we last met, he was still in the middle Integration stage. After more than a thousand years, he has actually advanced to the late Integration stage; I was quite startled myself,” Su Yuxin explained.“Perhaps we can use his strength to help us through this current predicament. You must treat him well. My injuries haven’t fully healed yet, and I need to recuperate for a while longer before making an appearance,” Su Yilei instructed.“Understood, Patriarch,” Su Yuxin replied, accepting the order and departing.

“Wang Qingshan! There are many capable people from Xuanling Continent! Even Xuanling Heavenly Venerate originated from Xuanling Continent,” Su Yilei murmured to himself.He took out a blood-colored pill, swallowed it, and as it dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth, he quickly circulated his cultivation to refine its medicinal power and heal his injuries.

In the Northern Cold Ice Plain, Ice Soul Mountain Range, within a white manor spanning a thousand mu, Ye Yuhuan was speaking with Ye Xuanfeng, both wearing solemn expressions. “An Immortal artifact fell to the lower realms? Is this news reliable?” Ye Yuhuan asked, frowning.Ye Shenghong had contacted them primarily to make them aware of news regarding an Immortal artifact.

“This was personally told by Patriarch Shenghong, so there’s definitely no issue. I heard that a traitor from the Myriad Treasures Gate in the Northern Sea Immortal Realm absconded with a certain treasure. The Myriad Treasures Gate dispatched several True Immortals to pursue this person, forcing them to self-detonate. The treasure also vanished and is said to have fallen to the lower realms,” Ye Xuanfeng slowly explained.The Immortal Realm has many Immortal Domains, each vast, far exceeding the Xuanyang Realm. The Northern Sea Immortal Realm is just one of them, and Myriad Treasures Gate is a top-ranking major force in the Northern Sea Immortal Realm.The Ye family’s ancestor, Immortal Liuyun, also resided in the Northern Sea Immortal Realm and established the Ye family there. Immortal Liuyun often cultivated in seclusion or traveled. Ye Shenghong was a clansman who ascended to the Immortal Realm within the last two hundred thousand years. He never actively contacted them; the grand formation was merely established to conveniently look after their lower-realm clansmen and occasionally transmit cultivation techniques and secret arts. This was also one of the reasons the Ye family remained prosperous.

“What kind of treasure is so important that it would cause such a major upheaval for the Myriad Treasures Gate? Since it’s a precious treasure, ordinary disciples wouldn’t have access to it, right?” Ye Yuhuan questioned.“I heard it’s a low-grade Immortal artifact that possesses the Law of Time. Not just True Immortals, even Golden Immortals would covet it,” Ye Xuanfeng said, his eyes gleaming with fervor.

“What? A low-grade Immortal artifact possessing the Law of Time? But there are so many spirit realms; how can we be sure it’s in a realm within the Eastern Xuanzhou World Cluster?” Ye Yuhuan asked, frowning.There are many realms parallel to the Xuanyang Realm, and the Xuanyang Realm itself has several directly affiliated realms. Similarly, the Immortal Realm has many directly affiliated realms. For ease of nomenclature and management, major Immortal Realm powers group a certain number of spirit realms together, calling them a "world cluster."The Eastern Xuanzhou World Cluster contains tens of thousands of spirit realms, and the Xuanyang Realm, Sky Demon Realm, Kunlun Realm, Demon Realm, Guangyun Realm, and Qianguang Realm all belong to it.Cultivators from the Eastern Xuanzhou World Cluster who ascend to the Immortal Realm are most likely to appear in the Northern Sea Immortal Realm, though they may also appear in other Immortal Domains.

“I heard that the low-grade Immortal artifact had a special imprint on it. A Golden Immortal from the Myriad Treasures Gate used a secret technique to detect that this treasure is within the Eastern Xuanzhou World Cluster. The specific realm isn’t clear, but if we find this treasure, it will be a great merit,” Ye Xuanfeng said with some excitement.“With so many realms in the Eastern Xuanzhou World Cluster, where do we even begin to search? We have no clues,” Ye Yuhuan said with a wry smile.

“If it were that easy to find, Patriarch Shenghong wouldn’t have needed to contact us. First, instruct our clansmen to keep an eye out for individuals or forces frequently selling high-grade spirit herbs. This item absolutely cannot fall into the hands of other forces,” Ye Xuanfeng stated gravely.“Even if other cultivators obtain the Immortal artifact, they won’t be able to bind it or use it, right?” Ye Yuhuan asked, puzzled.“That Immortal artifact can produce good fortune jade dew, which ripens spirit herbs. It only needs to absorb enough energy to produce the dew, and it can be used even without being bound, though at a lower efficiency. If an Immortal personally controls it, the efficiency is much higher. In other words, if this treasure is found by a cultivator, it would be difficult for them not to advance to the Mahayana stage. If an entire race obtains it, it would be even more extraordinary. The Ice Lion is preparing to set sail! You personally lead the team! Send people to keep an eye out,” Ye Xuanfeng instructed.“Understood, Patriarch Xuanfeng,” Ye Yuhuan replied, accepting the order and leaving the manor.

She arrived at a vast white stone plaza where thousands of cultivators stood in neat formation. Wang Changsheng and his three companions were among them. The Ice Lion floated high in the air.Ye Yuhuan soared up, followed closely by Ye Tongtian and others, boarding the ship one after another.“Depart!”Ye Yuhuan formed a hand seal, and the Ice Lion immediately emitted a dazzling white light, soaring into the sky and quickly disappearing into the horizon.
