This kind of discussion gradually disappeared when Xiang Jianjue came out of seclusion eleven years later and continued to practice in the Yuanjianmai, keeping to himself.
It was a clear and sunny day.
On Wuming Peak, the wooden door that had not been opened for a long time creaked open and a young woman slowly walked out.
The woman was dressed in a white gauze dress and had a cold face. She looked to be about twenty years old, with a head of black hair that fell like a black waterfall to the ground.
Forty years of seclusion have left no traces of time on her face.
This person was naturally Xiang Sheng who had just come out of seclusion.
She casually put her fingers together and cut her long hair in half. The half that fell to the ground turned into fragments in an instant and floated away.
"Forty years..."
Xiang Sheng looked at the scattered hair with emotion in his eyes.
She had never been in seclusion during her cultivation so far, and she had never expected that this seclusion to refine the Wanlian Pearl would take so much time.
It is true that time does not exist in practice.
However, thinking about what he had gained from this retreat, Xiang Sheng felt that these forty years were relatively short.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng glanced at the empty and deserted peak, and frowned slightly.
Why is no one here?
She was about to go down the mountain to look for it, but at this moment, a stream of water swept over from the sky and landed in front of her.
The water dissipated and a hunched old man walked out.
Xiang Sheng's expression suddenly relaxed, and he stepped forward and said respectfully, "Uncle Master Xuan."
"You are the Palace Master now, why should I call you Uncle Master? I should call you Brother."
The Xuan Palace Master chuckled and said, "With Wuming Peak here, the generation hierarchy is a bit confusing. But it doesn't matter. Let's discuss our own affairs."
Xiang Sheng readily accepted the advice, "Senior Brother Xuan."
The Xuan Palace Master smiled happily: "I didn't expect that you would come out of seclusion in just forty years.
Except for Xiaoliu who is in seclusion in the Spiritual Pagoda, the rest of your brothers and sisters are all outside, so there is no one to celebrate with you for a while."
"Are they all outside?"
Xiang Sheng's gaze suddenly focused, "Is there any news about the fourth divine beast?"
"Yes and no."
Palace Master Xuan shook his head and said, "A few years after you went into seclusion, clues about divine beasts were reported from all over the cultivation world, but most of them were deliberately released by the Pantheon to confuse the public.
But if it is not bad, what if it really gets mixed up in it, wouldn’t it be a missed opportunity?
So the Sect Master asked you brothers and sisters to act separately."
Xiang Sheng frowned, "It's too dangerous to act separately."
"It's not dangerous."
The Xuan Palace Master chuckled, "Right now, the Pantheon's thoughts aren't on the divine beasts. They're spreading false news just to buy time so they can deal with another matter."
Another thing?
Xiang Sheng's eyes flickered slightly.
The Xuan Palace Master was vague about the details, most likely because he didn't want to elaborate. She didn't ask any further questions and simply said, "Senior Brother Xuan waited here for me to come out of seclusion. I'm sure it wasn't just to tell me this."
Upon hearing this, the Xuan Palace Master directly handed over a red crystal with the divine beast, "Junior sister, look, what is this."
Xiang Sheng picked up the red crystal, examined it for a moment, and said, "This seems to be the condensation of the flesh and blood of some monster."
"Junior sister, you have good eyesight."
The Xuan Palace Master praised softly, "This thing was brought back by your third senior brother. It was extracted after the death of a snake demon.
The snake demon had already reached the early stage of transformation (Nascent Soul stage) during his lifetime, but he had no concentrated mind. He seemed to be a snake beast with only magical powers, which was very strange.
Your third senior brother wanted to follow the clues, but news about other divine beasts came in.
This matter seems strange, but it is unlikely to be related to God, so your third senior brother put it aside for the time being."
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly, "Senior Brother Xuan, do you want me to continue investigating this matter?"
"No."
The Xuan Palace Master shook his head: "This matter is just incidental. The real thing to investigate is another matter."
As he spoke, Palace Master Xuan handed over a jade slip.
Xiang Sheng took the divine sense and scanned it, his eyes immediately narrowed.
The jade slip contained information related to her.
"This is the news that came from Xitian City in the Wuji Immortal Sect's territory fourteen years ago."
The Xuan Palace Master said solemnly, "This person has declared that in fifteen years he will gather his fellow Daoists and go to the tomb of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor to seek the method of ascension."
Xiang Sheng's eyes were slightly cold.
The Earth God of East Continent and the Method of Ascension, no matter which of these two words is brought out, it can attract the attention of the entire Western Continent cultivation world, let alone the two words put together.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, I am afraid that a year later, there will be a lot of people joining in the fun.
Moreover, most of the people in Dongzhou who are close to her would probably not be able to resist going over to check the authenticity.
"Xitian City is too far away. We don't know if this is a trap set by the Pantheon against you."
The Xuan Palace Master said in a slightly solemn tone: "After you go there, be careful about everything."
He didn't even need to ask whether Xiang Sheng was going or not.
From Xiang Jianjue's change of cultivation, he could tell that Xiang Sheng was cold and heartless to outsiders, but very kind to her own people.
Xiang Chang was bound to wade into this muddy water.
