"What?! Gu Xuan, that lazy bum, is actually a quasi-Emperor level powerhouse?!"

"Yun Zhongzi, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

While fishing on a large rock by the stream, Old Yun suddenly stood up, his face full of astonishment and disbelief!

Even if his fishing rod was swept away, he had no time to care.

Yun Zhongzi shrugged helplessly and said with a wry smile, "Elder Yun, I couldn't believe it at first either."

"But recalling some details from the past eighty years, as well as the various behaviors of his eldest disciple Fang Li, I only realized something was amiss today."

“I went to Gu Xuan and got confirmation; we’ve been fooled by this kid for a long time.”

"......"

After a moment of silence, Elder Yun said somewhat speechlessly, "This boy has deceived everyone, disregarding even his reputation, just for the sake of living a peaceful life?"

"That kid said he was living a peaceful life, but he didn't want to get involved in too many things."

Yun Zhongzi nodded and added, "It also mentions the two words 'cause and effect,' which pervade all phenomena in the world, beyond the world, and in the universe."

“Once you get involved, it’s hard to get rid of. With his current cultivation level, he can cut it off.”

"When the time comes, you will be burdened by karma, and all your cultivation will be lost."

"Unless one reaches the cultivation level of Emperor or above, one can transcend everything. He will not appear in the world before reaching such a level."

"Old Yun, look at this kid, his excuse for being lazy is quite high-sounding."

"If he doesn't go out into the world, what kind of disciples can he take on?"

Elder Yun did not pay much attention to Yun Zhongzi's complaints.

He only heard that severing cause and effect requires the Emperor Realm or above.

This caused some distant memories to involuntarily surface in Elder Yun's mind.

As far as he knows.

Above the Emperor Realm is another realm called the Remnant Immortal Realm.

The cultivators at this level gradually begin to transform their abundant spiritual power into immortal power.

Possessing the power to create the world, they can bring prosperity to a region with a mere gesture, or plunge it into destruction in an instant.

With a single word, hundreds of millions of lives will be affected.

Furthermore, reaching the peak of the Remnant Immortal Realm grants one the qualification to ascend to the Upper Realm.

At that time, the gates of heaven will open wide, and one will attain immortality!

However, according to the ancient books in the Nine Heavens Sacred Land Library.

Since the war outside the realm, the Heavenly Profound Realm

For tens of thousands of years, no one has opened the Heavenly Gate and ascended to the Upper Realm.

The Realm of the Remnant Immortals has long since disappeared from the Tianxuan Continent, existing only in legends.

It seems that a tacit understanding has been reached among the giants at the Great Emperor level.

He secluded himself and did not come out.

He no longer concern himself with worldly affairs.

This made the Quasi-Emperor level experts the most influential figures in the Tianxuan Continent.

For example, the Central Sacred Land.

The Six Saints, One Sect, and Two Palaces each have a Quasi-Emperor level expert in charge, and there is more than one.

This is the essence of the sacred land of immortals.

The sect leaders, elders, and ancestors of the top sects in the other four domains are at most at the late stage of the Supreme Realm.

The only exception is the Great Wilderness Domain, one of the four lower domains.

The weakest overall.

Next is its unfortunate brethren in the Great Wilderness Region, the Northern Region.

However, with the presence of Gu Xuan, a quasi-emperor level giant, the Great Wilderness Domain seems to be on the rise.

At the very least.

This year's grand competition is a sure thing.

My Cloud Soaring Sect is finally no longer at the bottom!

Old Master Yun's thoughts flashed by.

He sat down again and said in a deep voice, "This is not some high-sounding excuse. What Gu Xuan said is true. Once karma is involved, the resulting karmic force will not only affect Supreme Realm experts, but also have a far-reaching impact on Quasi-Emperor Realm giants."

"As for why he took on disciples, it must be because these disciples had a karmic connection with him."

"If you don't accept it, you will be burdened by karma, and all your cultivation will be ruined in an instant."

“Yun Zhongzi, you should not blame him.”

"I see, I've learned something new," Yun Zhongzi said, bowing with his hands clasped in understanding.

"There is no need to trouble Gu Xuan with matters of preaching."

Elder Yun remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "As a quasi-Emperor level giant, he is not only the reliance of my Cloud Soaring Sect, but also the strongest in the Great Wilderness Region, representing our Great Wilderness Region."

"The patriarch of the Medicine King Valley lineage has passed away a thousand years ago, so it's time for Gu Xuan to take over."

"From this day forward, Medicine King Valley will be one of the forbidden areas of our Cloud Soaring Sect, and Gu Xuan will be the seventh Supreme Ancestor of our Cloud Soaring Sect."

"The cultivation of spiritual herbs in Medicine King Valley will be managed by Danfeng. Herb-gathering disciples will no longer need to be assigned to Medicine King Valley. All of Gu Xuan's disciples will be promoted one level to become our sect's holy sons and holy daughters."

"Furthermore, since Gu Xuan has agreed to let his disciple participate in the main sect's grand competition, we must not neglect it."

"Yes, Elder Yun."

Yun Zhongzi had no objection and nodded in agreement.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Elder Yun called out to him, "Never mind, I'll go to Medicine King Valley with you."

That's all.

Two divine rainbows shot into the sky.

They streaked across the sky like shooting stars, one after the other, heading towards Medicine King Valley.

...

In Medicine King Valley.

Fang Li, who won the Rookie of the Year award, has returned.

However, when he saw the ornately decorated courtyard house next to the thatched cottage, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He remembered it clearly.

When I left this morning, this item was not here.

How did a courtyard house suddenly appear here?

The only thing Fang Li could think of was his master's doing.

Only a master with unfathomable power can create things out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards, he hurried toward the sycamore tree where his master was.

Upon arrival.

Fang Li then noticed a beautiful and ethereal stranger standing gracefully beside Jiang Qingqing.

A flash of amazement crossed his eyes.
