Taoist Feng Lei is a powerful independent cultivator who has no sect or school. He has always had a good reputation among the independent cultivators in Lingtian Continent.
Although Qi Xinggu had never tried to please him, he had never had a quarrel with him either.
When they heard that the Zixiao Sect had produced a magical weapon, everyone in the Qixing Valley thought of many people, but they never expected that the first person to cancel the agreement would be Taoist Fenglei.
"Master Feng Lei must have been instructed by the Zixiao Sect to do this!" He Zhiyi, who was sitting next to the master of Qixing Valley, said angrily.
"This matter has just been reported. It may not have reached Taoist Feng Lei's ears so quickly." The person on the opposite side also spoke.
He Zhiyi frowned and looked at the other party, "Elder Lu, what do you mean by this? Do you want to excuse Taoist Feng Lei or Zixiao Sect?"
Elder Lu said calmly, "Elder He, what you said is too serious. How can I excuse them? I am just being practical. This matter is indeed a bit strange. Why would Zixiao Sect go to Taoist Fenglei when they don't want to find anyone else? Wouldn't it be better for them to go to Lian Xingchao?"
Lian Xingchao is a rising star. Although he has a high level of cultivation and is powerful, due to his youth and vigor, he is not as compatible with Qixing Valley as it seems. If he is instigated to go against Qixing Valley, the effect will not be bad.
"Moreover, we received the news and were about to discuss it when Taoist Fenglei's news came. Don't you think it's too fast? When it comes to getting information, could Qixinggu be slower than Taoist Fenglei?"
"We should investigate Taoist Feng Lei's affairs. Since Elder Lu mentioned this matter, let's leave it to Elder Lu."
After the Valley Master spoke, He Zhiyi had nothing to say.
The Valley Master looked around at everyone and said, "I called you all here today because I want to discuss the birth of the Purple Sky Sect's immortal weapon. You can share your opinions."
"No wonder Zixiao Sect never customizes magic weapons for us. It turns out they have been hiding for so many years. They want to provoke Qixing Valley and challenge us, right?" He Zhiyi has always been a supporter of the Valley Master.
"Elder He, don't be so angry. It's hard to say what the situation is now. There are thousands of weapon refiners in Lingtian Continent, and not all of them are in our Qixing Valley." Elder Lu couldn't help it again.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was touched by another elder next to him, signaling him to stop talking. He Zhiyi was obviously speaking on behalf of the Valley Master, and contradicting him was just contradicting the Valley Master.
Before the Valley Master could speak, He Zhiyi's face darkened immediately. "Elder Lu, you repeatedly praised the Zixiao Sect. Could it be that you are a spy sent by the Zixiao Sect to lurk in our Qixing Valley?"
"Elder He, be careful with your words." At this time, an old man at the head of the seat spoke, his eyes emitting the light of wisdom, "The ancestors of Qixing Valley have always advocated that the sea embraces all rivers, and there is no separation in weapon refining. Elder Lu is just following the principles that Qixing Valley has always followed."
He Zhiyi glanced at the Valley Master, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he reluctantly said, "It's me, Meng Lang. Please forgive me, Fourth Elder."
Like the Zixiao Sect, the Qixing Valley has elders with numerical rankings, all of whom have transcendent status and even the Valley Master has to give them some respect.
“The impact of the birth of the Zixiao Sect’s magic weapon on Qixing Valley is not that big, it’s just that there is one more weapon refiner who can refine magic weapons in the Lingtian Continent. There is nothing much to discuss about this matter, everyone should just do as before.” After the fourth elder finished speaking, he stood up, gently rolled up his sleeves, and left the meeting hall calmly.
The others did not leave, but since the Fourth Elder had said so, He Zhiyi and the others could not deliberately contradict the Fourth Elder in front of others. They all looked at the Valley Master, whose expression remained unchanged.
"Since the Fourth Elder thinks it has no impact, then let's disperse. We can discuss other matters later."
After Elder Lu and others left, and only a few people from the Valley Master's faction were left in the meeting hall, He Zhiyi could no longer bear it.
"Valley Master, with such a big incident happening, are we really going to do as the Fourth Elder said and ignore it and let the Purple Sky Sect continue to develop like this?"
"There's no guarantee that Zixiao Sect doesn't have other means." Another person also said.
The Valley Master tapped the armrest of the chair, his face thoughtful, "The most urgent task is to find out who made the immortal weapon and what the purpose of the Purple Sky Sect is, at this moment in time."
He Zhiyi's expression slightly changed, "Valley Master is worried that Zixiao Sect's goal is the Wanxian Dao?"
"No matter if it's the Way of Ten Thousand Immortals or not, no one in this world can shake the status of Qixing Valley." The valley master's tone was calm, but his inhuman ambition was revealed.
He Zhiyi's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Valley Master is absolutely right. Leave this matter to me. I will find out who it is as soon as possible."
The Valley Master nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you. I'll be at ease."
On the other side, Elder Lu quickly caught up with the Fourth Elder, but before he could open his mouth, he was stopped by the Fourth Elder.
"I know what you want to say. People in Qixing Valley are now unsettled and have long deviated from the original ideas of our ancestors."
“If we continue to let this go, I’m worried something might happen to Qixing Valley,” Elder Lu said worriedly.
The fourth elder glanced at him and said, "There is no construction without destruction. Perhaps this is the disaster of Qixing Valley. It will come sooner or later. You can go back. You don't need to worry about this matter."
Elder Lu hesitated for a moment before bowing.
…
After another two days of seclusion, Gao Han went to the Divine Artifact Peak to find Peak Master Yao on the third day as agreed. When Zhongli Tingzhou found out, he shamelessly followed him, as the saying goes: marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; marry a dog, you follow the dog.
Master Yao Feng had been waiting for them for a long time. Knowing that Gao Han was coming to see them, he went out personally to invite him in.
Very few people knew that Gao Han was the one who caused the thunder tribulation of the immortal weapon. Only those who knew that he was the disciple of Senior Tian Dao knew that he did not attract anyone's attention along the way.
"Why did the Peak Master invite me here?"
The two followed Master Yao Feng to his residence. After Gao Han entered the room, he did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Master Gao is a man of quick words, so I'll just speak frankly." Master Yao Feng didn't like that either, and was even more delighted when he heard that. "I wonder if the two Masters have heard of the Way of the Ten Thousand Immortals?"
“It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”
Master Yao Feng showed a look of understanding, "The Ten Thousand Immortals Dao is actually a long-standing grand event in Lingtian Continent. According to legend, a great war between immortals once broke out in Lingtian Continent in ancient times..."
"A war between immortals?"
"This battle between immortals is a real battle between immortals." Yao Fengshang pointed to the sky.
Legend has it that after overcoming the calamity one can ascend to become an immortal and achieve immortality. It turns out to be true.
"But why did the immortals start a war in Lingtian Continent?" Gao Han asked.
Master Yao Feng shook his head. "I don't know about that. Not many people know why. We only know that after that battle, very few cultivators have successfully ascended."
“So that’s how it is.” Gao Han had been wondering, since Master Zixiao and Master Tiandao were both powerful figures ten thousand years ago, why didn’t they ascend to heaven after so much time? It’s not that they didn’t want to ascend, but that they couldn’t.
"In the past, when a cultivator ascended to heaven, the heavens would send down golden light as a reward, and the cultivator would be able to use this golden light to fly to the immortal world. But later, all the immortals died, and it became like this."
Gao Han nodded and said, "What does the Wanxian Dao have to do with all this?"
“The Wanxiandao is a site left behind by immortals. It is said that the secret of ascension is also contained there. So over the years, all sects and schools have sent their disciples to participate in the Wanxiandao to seek the opportunity to become immortals.” When Master Yao Feng said this, his face became very serious.
"There is one thing that the two uncles may not know. If we cannot find the secret of ascension, our uncle and Senior Tiandao may face the crisis of exhausting their lifespans."
"They cannot ascend to heaven and will remain in Lingtian Continent forever. On the surface, they appear to be extremely powerful and no one can defeat them, but in fact, they are not truly immortal."
Speaking of this, Master Yao Feng's expression became extremely gloomy.
"Master Uncle and Senior Tian Dao became famous more than 10,000 years ago. At that time, there were very few people in Lingtian Continent who could rival them. If it weren't for the death of the immortals and the loss of the opportunity to ascend, they would have ascended 10,000 years ago and would not have stayed in Zixiao Sect all the time, being threatened by the end of their lifespans all the time. They have really contributed too much to Zixiao Sect."
"In order to find a way to ascend to heaven in the Wanxian Dao, we sent people in to search for it, but unfortunately, none of them could find it."
The master's mystery was finally cleared, and Gao Han probably knew why Master Yao Feng was looking for him.
"Master Yao Feng wants me to enter the Wanxian Dao to find a way to ascend?"
Master Yao Feng said seriously: "I hope you can represent Shenqi Peak to participate in the Wanxiandao."
"Does the Ten Thousand Immortals Path have to be divided into different paths?"
"That's one reason." Peak Master Yao said with a serious face, "Another reason is that in the past, no disciple from Divine Artifact Peak has ever been able to successfully obtain a quota. This is a matter of honor and disgrace. This time, Divine Artifact Peak must obtain a quota."
Gao Han: “…”
Zhongli Tingzhou sneered and said what Gao Han was thinking: "So after laying the groundwork for so long, in the end it was all for the reputation of Divine Artifact Peak?"
Peak Master Yao's momentum suddenly withered. "As the peak master of the Divine Artifact Peak, I don't care about my personal honor or disgrace, but we can't let the Star Artifact Valley monopolize the weapon refining in the Ten Thousand Immortals Dao forever. Uncle Gao has only been in contact with weapon refining for a short time, so he may not know that the current weapon refining method in the Spiritual Heaven Continent is actually incomplete."
Gao Han was surprised, "What do you mean?"
"It's very simple. When a true immortal weapon comes out, there will definitely be red rays of light and golden light that is the same as when a cultivator ascends to heaven. This is the sign that a treasure has been born. But you only had a thunder tribulation that day, and no rays of light or golden light. This shows that the immortal weapon you refined is not a true immortal weapon."
"Is it the same for other forces, including Qixing Valley?" Gao Han asked.
Master Yao Feng nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. That's why Qixing Valley pays more attention to the Wanxian Dao than we do, because it is rumored that the weapon refining method in the Wanxian Dao has the method to refine real immortal weapons."
“The immortal weapons currently in Lingtian Continent can only be considered pseudo-immortal weapons. Their power is not even one percent of the real immortal weapons. Of course, if there are methods to refine immortal weapons in the Wanxian Dao, there may be immortal weapons. If we can get these immortal weapons, we can drive the demons out of the demon battlefield and drive them back to the different space.”
