"You've all heard, haven't you? The Eternal Sect established the Hall of Inviting Immortals, and it was established many years ago. Their Divine Firmament True Monarch was able to return smoothly from the lower realm and escape Lin Wudi's suppression. The Hall of Inviting Immortals also contributed a lot to this, although afterwards, they were wiped out by a cultivator from the lower realm named Lin Jinglong."

"But the Temple of Immortals has now been rebuilt."

"They are using the power of cultivators from the lower realms in an attempt to expand the foundation of the Eternal Sect."

"Therefore, we cannot sit idly by. Many cultivators in the lower realms are also very talented. Today, our Heavenly Dragon Sect will also establish a new branch, which will be organized by Tianxiao."

All eyes fell on Tianxiao's face.

They were all incredibly surprised, even Lin Ye was astonished.

In other words, Tianxiao, who just became an elder today, actually has the opportunity to become a hall master again?

Although he was just a newly established hall master.

He only had Wan Liancheng's dozen or so personal disciples and about a dozen lower-level cultivators at the Immortal Realm under his command.

But his identity has changed once again.

This was completely unexpected by everyone.

Even Lian Shang on the other side was somewhat stunned.

The reason he gave away the Heavenly Dao Fruit was simply to reciprocate and give Qi Shenglong face.

Unexpectedly, Qi Shenglong had already given Tianxiao the best arrangement. He even began to regret that he should not have given away the Heavenly Dao Fruit in the first place.

Qi Shenglong had no intention of mistreating Tianxiao.

He sighed inwardly; at this point, he couldn't raise any further objections.

Even knowing that Tianxiao was a member of Qi Shenglong's faction and was now being given important responsibilities, he had just apologized. Could he really refuse Qi Shenglong's offer?

That scene would be too ugly.

Qi Shenglong was furious, and things were not going well for him either.

Wang Liang stared wide-eyed at Tian Xiao, wondering what kind of incredible luck this guy had.

He had just picked up a Heavenly Dao Core, which was bad enough, but then he also obtained a Heavenly Dao Fruit. Even the Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm that he could use was only a wisp.

Tianxiao is now on equal footing with him.

Who knew he'd be in the lead now!

They even want to be on equal footing with Lian Shang.

Is there no justice left in this world?

Qi Shenglong smiled at Tianxiao and said, "It seems that no one else has any objections. I will talk to the remaining elders about this matter, and they will support your work. If you need anything, just come to me."

Tianxiao nodded subconsciously.

He was still in a daze.

"Why, why does Sect Master Qi value me so much?"

Qi Shenglong then glanced at Lin Jinglong.

He said with great appreciation, "Although you are from the lower realm, if you have good aptitude, you will have the opportunity to become true disciples of our Heavenly Dragon Sect in the future. Just focus on improving your cultivation level and making more contributions, and you will have plenty of opportunities."

Lin Jinglong nodded to him as well.

He felt that Qi Shenglong was very strange.

They set up an organization to compete with the Hall of Inviting Immortals, and put Tianxiao in charge. However, they pretended to be Tianxiao's subordinates, but in reality, they were the Nine Clans of the Heavenly Dao representing the Elders' Council of the Lower Realm.

Lin Jinglong had the same doubts as Lin Ye.

Could it be that Qi Shenglong has already seen through their identities?

They just didn't intend to say it out loud; instead, they planned to use them and even secretly cooperate with them.

He glanced at Lin Ye, who nodded in agreement.

"That's strange!"

Lin Jinglong thought to himself.

Soon after, the matter came to an end, and Lin Jinglong, Tianxiao, and the others returned to their respective strongholds.

The newly established department was decided by Qi Shenglong.

It is known as the Hall of the Banished Immortals.

This indicates that his core subordinates are all immortals banished from the mortal realm.

But in reality, there are no real immortals in the Hall of Banished Immortals; they are all imposters.

After everyone dispersed and returned to their base...

Others were still discussing it.

Lin Ye suddenly appeared inside the stronghold. He said to the bewildered Tianxiao and Lin Jinglong, "I know you are suspicious, and I am suspicious too. But since my master is not saying anything, we shouldn't ask too much, lest we guess the wrong way and expose something."

“Indeed, it seems that Sect Master Qi has indeed discovered something, but he has no intention of revealing it, so let’s not speak up.”

Huangfu Kong added.

Lin Jinglong glanced at Tianxiao and slowly said, "Give me the Heavenly Dao Fruit."

Tianxiao was completely convinced of Lin Jinglong's abilities; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to accept the Heavenly Dao Fruit so easily before. Now, he handed the Heavenly Dao Fruit over.

Lin Ye understood what was happening when he saw this.

In the end, Tianxiao was just a third-tier True Monarch.

Lin Jinglong's combat strength is enough to defeat even Ye Changhen, so he might not be weaker than Lin Ye.

He was also filled with emotion.

Perhaps Master knew Lin Jinglong's background.

That's why the Hall of Immortals was established, allowing the Heavenly Dragon Sect to leverage its influence to cooperate with Lin Jinglong and the Elders' Council.

Who knows?

After Lin Jinglong accepted the Heavenly Dao Fruit, Lin Ye suddenly asked curiously, "What are you going to do with the Heavenly Dao Fruit? People from the lower realm can't absorb the Heavenly Dao from the upper realm."

"There's such a saying?"

Lin Jinglong held the golden fruit and asked curiously.

"Indeed, it seems that the Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm is filled with resentment towards the people of the Lower Realm because Lin Wudi stole too much of its power. You must know that the Heavenly Dao also has a will, but that will is hidden around each of us, invisible and intangible, and that is called the Heavenly Secret."

"What you hold in your hand is a wisp of heavenly secret."

"The Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm is so hostile to the Lower Realm, how could it possibly allow you to refine this power?"

Lin Ye shook his head repeatedly.

He felt it was best to leave the Heavenly Dao Fruit to Tianxiao; even if Lin Jinglong obtained it, it would be meaningless.

"I don't believe in that, the will of Heaven?"

Lin Jinglong gave a mocking smile.

Although he is not Lin Wudi, nor does he possess the combat power that Lin Wudi had back then, which allowed him to fight against a ninth-level True Monarch, nor could he guard the Immortal Gate alone like Lin Wudi and plunder a large amount of power from the Upper Realm.

This caused the Heavenly Dao of the lower realm to expand more than tenfold.

But if Lin Jinglong couldn't even refine a wisp of heavenly secrets from the upper realm, then he would be underestimating his invincible bloodline.

"Invincible bloodline, devour and refine it!"

Lin Jinglong crushed the Heavenly Dao Fruit, and a wisp of heavenly secret naturally entered his body.

Lin Ye shook his head repeatedly upon seeing this scene.

"If you don't believe me, fine. But I warned you before. Since you've already crushed the Heavenly Dao Fruit, you've wasted one. Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to leave it for Tianxiao?"

Just as he was about to leave.

However, he sensed a fluctuation in Lin Jinglong's aura behind him.

A booming sound emanated from his body, like the thunderous roar of a tiger or leopard!

Lin Ye's expression froze. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Jinglong in surprise. He saw that Lin Jinglong's expression was distorted, his body was radiating heat, and his aura was vibrating. He had obviously begun to refine that wisp of heavenly secret!

"Once you fall into my hands, would the mere Heavenly Dao dare to resist?"
