Chapter 280
The Immortal Realm Formation forms a small world, using the power of distorted spacetime to connect the human realm and the immortal realm. This formation consumes a great deal of spiritual energy.
Even at the edge of the formation, Ying Ning could sense a trace of a fragment of a divine artifact.
Now that Yingning's body contains the Phoenix Spirit, the Ancient Hou Pearl, and half of the Pure World Lotus, she is particularly sensitive to the aura of divine artifacts.
It seems the Immortal Realm has invested heavily in the formation.
Not far away, a cold figure made a hand seal with his slender hand. Li Ziqing's cold eyes showed a rare hint of fatigue, but his movements were still graceful and nimble.
Just like a hundred years ago, he wielded the Unyielding Sword to slay demons.
The celestial formation has been activated, and disciples from various sects are bidding farewell to their elders.
"Be careful on your journey, and remember what I said," Yuan Yuan said, still feeling uneasy.
"Mu Liang, stop sulking around like this. If anything happens, the three of you should work together." The chubby middle-aged man also seemed a little sad at this moment.
Although these three did not spend much time in the Yijian Sect.
But they are indeed the three most talented people in the last hundred years.
I don't expect them to stand out from the crowd.
I only hope for your safe return.
"Be careful in everything you do, I'll be waiting for you to come back—!" The formation had already started operating, and you could even hear Yuan Yuan shouting his instructions.
“Teacher Yuan, we will be back.” Yingning waved.
Little did she know, at that moment, someone's gaze fell upon her.
Even through the crowd, Li Ziqing saw through Ying Ning's disguise with just one glance.
Her half-moon-like face and the exquisite mandala at the corner of her eye are truly unforgettable.
He lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
The celestial array teleported all the disciples to the ethereal peak of the celestial realm in just half an incense stick's time.
Looking up, one sees the celestial realm brimming with spiritual energy.
Layer upon layer of shimmering white palaces stand atop the floating clouds.
The disciples of the human realm had never seen such a scene before. As soon as they stepped out of the barrier, they exclaimed in amazement at the surrounding scenery, and some even wiped their eyes and shed tears.
"The Immortal Realm...we've really arrived in the Immortal Realm."
"This is the Immortal Realm."
"The Supreme Immortal Realm is where the Great Dao resides. I never imagined that one day, we, mere mortals, could also step into the Immortal Realm."
"The air here is so clear and refreshing."
"This must be the spiritual energy described in the book."
"I feel like my body is full of power..."
......
The celestial realm is rich in spiritual energy, and these disciples, who are all born with spiritual roots, are experiencing for the first time such a vast amount of spiritual energy condensing within their bodies.
Several people actually stepped directly into the early stage of cultivation.
A very thin Flying Cloud Sect disciple's voice trembled:
"I...I think I'm already at the Qi Refining stage."
“I also feel that my body is a little different,” another disciple, who was a bit shorter, said loudly.
At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the summit of Misty Mountain.
The newcomers were all dressed in lotus-patterned purple robes. Yingning noticed the sect tokens on their robes and realized they were elders and inner disciples of the Tianyin Sect.
The Grand Elder of the Tianyin Sect walked up to Li Ziqing and said, "Greetings, Immortal Venerable."
"I'll trouble you, Immortal Venerable, to protect me this time. Leave the rest to me."
Li Ziqing nodded and was about to leave when his gaze fell on Ying Ning again. He saw her waving at him, her eyes sparkling with joy.
A dull ache returned to his chest.
For the first time ever, Li Ziqing asked, "Where will these disciples from the human realm be assigned?"
The Grand Elder of Tianyin Sect hadn't expected the Immortal Venerable to suddenly ask about such a trivial matter, so he could only cautiously reply, "Elder Qingzhu has already arranged accommodations; it's the Chen Palace of the Sword Sect."
It was a desolate celestial palace that had been abandoned for many years, and Li Ziqing didn't think much of it.
He turned around and, under everyone's gaze, walked to Ying Ning's side and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"The Lady of Forgetfulness from the Underworld has come to the Celestial Realm?"
Li Ziqing also scrutinized her disguise. Subconsciously, he felt that she was hiding something, a secret that might make him lose control.
It was as if an extremely fine thread had appeared out of thin air and hooked onto the flesh deep within his chest.
He felt a sharp pain whenever he looked at her.
Unfortunately, she wasn't Aning.
Li Ziqing's cold eyes were deep and unfathomable, filled with an unfathomable darkness.
Yingning looked up and saw Li Ziqing's current appearance.
He has clearly lost most of his immortal soul, and now it seems that even his seven spirits are incomplete.
Even though Li Ziqing was deliberately concealing his physical condition, Ying Ning still noticed the faint evil aura surrounding him, which was the same as the Ghost Domain.
May the Immortal Venerable be well.
"I didn't expect you to still remember me." The scars on her face were obvious, but her eyes were slightly upturned, and she had lost some color.
"The Immortal Realm is not a place where you can run wild."
"Yes, we really can't let ourselves run wild."
"But if I were to act recklessly, the Immortal Venerable's current body wouldn't be able to withstand it, would it?" Judging from her tone, she seemed to still remember the last time he attacked her.
"you..."
"Take care of yourself."
Li Ziqing was clearly aware of his physical condition. After being exposed by Ying Ning, he only said one sentence before flicking his sleeve and creating a spatial rift in thin air, disappearing from everyone's sight.
After seeing Li Ziqing leave, the Grand Elder of Tianyin Sect immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though the incident at the Immortal Trapping Cliff happened a long time ago, it still left a chilling memory for the elders of the Immortal Realm.
Those who participated in the events of that year experienced a decline in their cultivation.
There were even a few whose elixirs and immortal veins were completely destroyed.
Without entering the cycle of reincarnation, one has no chance to ascend to immortality.
From then on, Li Ziqing seemed to be a strange existence in the immortal realm.
They respected him, but they feared him even more.
The current Immortal Venerable no longer cares about the Sword Sect's affairs, and has been searching throughout the Six Realms, seemingly still searching for the reincarnation of his little disciple.
Fortunately, the Demon Lord Xi Yunliu was also missing, so the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm reached a strange balance, not interfering with each other and there was no war.
......
The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Sound Sect withdrew his memories and looked at everyone:
"The Celestial Sound Sect of the Immortal Realm will lead you all to the Imperial Palace."

When the third dream arrived, Jue was already prepared.
In his dream, Wei Jue charged into the rear of the demon army and found the Demon King Luo Zi, who had escaped for many days. His spear pierced through the lesser demons blocking the Demon King's path and pointed directly at the massive Demon King:
Where is she?
Luo Xu chuckled, never expecting that Wei Jue would take a liking to a small spiritual herb:
"I'll tell you the secret: you can have any woman you want."
"I like a little magical herb."
"How about I send you a few demon snake women to play with?" Luo Xu joked, but his offensive didn't stop.
"You guys go!"
"Let Lord Weijue also taste the secret arts of our Demon Realm." The Demon King's voice was filled with sinister killing intent.
Luo Xu was still recovering from serious injuries. His nighttime raid was originally intended only to dampen the fighting spirit of the divine army, but he unexpectedly gained something from it.
Knowing he was no match for the enemy, he had his protectors cast a secret spell before fleeing in the prepared direction. Before leaving, he arrogantly declared:
"As the Divine Lord of Jue, you must enjoy the grand wedding night that I, the King, have prepared for you."
After Wei Jue severed the body of the last demon general, a sudden feeling of powerlessness struck him, and it seemed as if something inside his body had been ignited.
That primal desire in his blood almost made him lose control and transform into a dragon.
"mean..."
When Wei Jue found Ying Ning, it was in a Xuan Tie Heavenly Cage where she was imprisoned.
She huddled in the corner of the cage, hearing her own footsteps, her body seemingly still trembling, yet she dared not lift her face.
Wei Jue looked at her hands; they were a little dirty.
Her hands were still bound to the cage by a black iron chain, preventing her from using her divine power.
Therefore, he used a divine power to sever the locks of the cage.
Yingning, seemingly startled, looked up and saw that it was Wei Jue who had come. She then stood up shakily, her voice soft and aggrieved:
"For the final decision..."
The man stepped into the black iron cage, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
He closed the iron cage door.
"I..."
But Wei Jue didn't give her a chance to speak. He grabbed her white neck and kissed her fiercely.
He let the black iron chains binding her swing and struggle incessantly, then, with instinctive desire, he controlled her hands and pinned her down beneath him.
He bit her soft lips, his lower body already transformed into a dragon!
