CHAPTER 429: CHAPTER 405: IN THE RIGHT PLACE

Ling Yun Immortal already knew Disciple Shi Nian’s Cultivation level with just one glance—it was at the Profound Immortal Middle Stage.

Such Cultivation, in a super Sect, could indicate an unknown status.

At the very least, it should correspond to that of an elite disciple, right?

However, the fact that Ling Yun was assigned to guard a tower in a remote city shows that her status among the elite disciples wasn’t very high.

It seems the overall standard of the Immortals Sect is quite high.

Shi Nian also had a rough estimate in her heart.

Seeing Shi Nian appearing to be daydreaming, Ling Yun Immortal couldn’t help but ask with concern, "What’s the matter? Is the flying speed too fast? My bad, I was only thinking of returning to the Sect as quickly as possible, I forgot that you’re still in the Golden Immortal Stage, and you might not be able to withstand this speed."

As she spoke, Ling Yun Immortal quickly reduced the speed of the flying boat.

Shi Nian felt a bit awkward: "No worries, I can adapt."

Ling Yun Immortal didn’t believe her, and slowed down to a speed suitable for the Golden Immortal Stage before showing a smile, "Jin Hua, if there’s anything in the future just speak up, don’t keep it to yourself, okay? I might not have many advantages, but being understanding is one of them..."

Ling Yun Immortal kept on talking incessantly.

Shi Nian nodded somewhat helplessly.

Right now, she had only one feeling.

Jin Hua...

If she had known, she wouldn’t have used the name Jin Hua!

Nevertheless, the contrast between Ling Yun’s face and her endless chattering was actually quite endearing, and coupled with the Ling character, Shi Nian vaguely thought of everyone back at Ling Tian Peak, softening her gaze.

The journey to the Immortals Sect was rather long; it took the two almost half a month flying on the flying boat before they finally arrived at Immortals Mountain, where the Immortals Sect was located.

The vastness of the Immortal World, compared to the Lower Realm, is truly beyond comparison.

Ling Yun Immortal had already reported to the Sect in advance; seeing her return with Shi Nian, the disciples guarding the gate did not ask any further questions and let them pass directly.

"Jin Hua, I’ll take you to see my Master first. My Master, well, she’s really nice, very gentle, and treats us exceptionally well." Ling Yun Immortal hesitated for a moment before adding, "However, my Master isn’t particularly good at fighting, and is more of a laidback person, so in terms of her position within the Sect..."

Ling Yun smiled sheepishly, "It’s not particularly high. If you like tranquility, following my Master is a good choice; if you’re after greater combat power, it’s better to choose another Master."

Ling Yun was quite candid, which made Shi Nian smile as well: "I actually don’t like fighting and killing either."

Upon hearing Shi Nian’s implied preference, Ling Yun laughed delightedly, "In that case, it looks like I’m really going to have a new junior sister."

Ling Yun happily led Shi Nian to Jade Pavilion, where her Master, Qiong Yu Immortal, resided.

On the way, Ling Yun briefed Shi Nian about the general situation.

In the Immortals Pavilion, excluding the founding Emperor Wan Hua of the Sect, there were seventeen other Immortal Emperors; of these, thirteen were female Immortals, and the remaining four were male Immortals.

Her Master, Qiong Yu Immortal, was one of those thirteen female Immortals, but her Cultivation was only at the Immortal Emperor Early Stage, so among these strong Immortals, she was at the bottom.

Additionally, Qiong Yu Immortal herself disliked competing, usually staying inside Jade Pavilion, either teaching disciples or engaging in secluded Cultivation.

Tallying up, it had been a full thousand years since she last stepped out of Jade Pavilion.

Shi Nian listened with amazement.

Ordinarily, being indoors for just ten days to half a month can earn one the title of a homebody.

And what about Qiong Yu Immortal?

She’s stayed inside for thousands of years!

Truly, she is the epitome of a homebody.

"Actually, my Master is very impressive." Ling Yun added with a touch of embarrassment, "My Master excels at music and rhythms, and in the way of music and rhythms, no one can match her."

Music and rhythms?

Shi Nian raised an eyebrow, suddenly recalling the Immortal Emperor Zi Huan.

Zi Xu should still be in the Lower Realm, diligently teaching the Human Clan.

But what about Immortal Emperor Zi Huan? Had he truly perished?

Recalling Immortal Emperor Zi Huan’s last words, asking his inheritors to go to his Burial Ground, Shi Nian always felt there was some mystery hidden within.

Shi Nian had forgotten about this matter before, but just now, upon hearing the path of musical rhythm, she suddenly remembered it.

The Burial Ground of Immortal Emperor Zi Huan seemed to be located in this Central State Region!

She thought back and could even recall a fairly precise location.

What mysteries... could that place hold?

Shi Nian furrowed her brow slightly, feeling that she should make a trip there.

It wasn’t that she loved to meddle in other’s affairs.

However, in order to enhance the overall strength of the Human Clan in the Lower Realm, Lin Bai and Zi Xu were vigorously promoting the cultivation methods of the Four Arts. Once the people who cultivated the Zihuan Secret Technique ascended to the Immortal World...

Who knew if Zi Huan would have any contingency plans?

By then, cultivating such techniques might actually harm the Human Clan practitioners.

Therefore.

Before that portion of the Human Clan who practiced Immortal Emperor Zi Huan’s Secret Technique ascends to the Immortal World, she must eliminate this hidden danger.

Still a ways to go, Shi Nian seemingly offhandedly said, "Immortal, are you proficient in musical rhythm? I seem to have heard that in this Central State Region, there is an Immortal Emperor who is not only skilled in musical rhythm, but has also reached the peak level in the Four Arts."

Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised: "Are you talking about Immortal Emperor Zi Huan? That’s been an ancient figure from ten thousand years ago. I didn’t expect that you would know of him."

Shi Nian chuckled, "I happened to hear others mention it."

The reason she asked was that when she was in the Lower Realm, Dongfang Zhang had instantly recognized the legacy of Immortal Emperor Zi Huan, indicating that Immortal Emperor Zi Huan wasn’t exactly low-profile; on the contrary, perhaps a bit too high-profile.

"Immortal Emperor Zi Huan indeed pioneered a unique path. My Master was inspired by him and embarked on the path of musical rhythm. Master often laments that if she could obtain the cultivation technique of Immortal Emperor Zi Huan for corroboration, then perhaps she could make a breakthrough. Regrettably, Immortal Emperor Zi Huan perished in that catastrophe ten thousand years ago, and his legacy has since vanished without a trace." Ling Yun shared all she knew.

Shi Nian’s gaze flickered slightly.

The legacy of Immortal Emperor Zi Huan...

She had it!

However, she suspected that this was not the core legacy of Immortal Emperor Zi Huan. The real secret might actually lie within his Burial Ground.

Shi Nian didn’t divulge these thoughts; she planned to first assess Emperor Qiong Yu’s character before making her next move.

As they spoke, Ling Yun brought Shi Nian to the Jade Pavilion.

"Sister Ling Yun, you’ve returned." Several charming young ladies immediately showed a delighted expression upon seeing Ling Yun.

Ling Yun also smiled at them, then said, "I have urgent matters at hand; I’ll come talk to you later."

The young ladies nodded, and their eyes also revealed a hint of curiosity when they looked at Shi Nian.

Shi Nian observed and found that in the eyes of these young ladies...

They all reflected the naive and foolish impression typical of university students.

Shi Nian couldn’t help but whisper, "Immortal, have they also not left the Pavilion in a long time?"

Ling Yun smiled awkwardly, "Everyone in Jade Pavilion doesn’t really like to go out. It’s been a few hundred years since the younger sisters last left."

Shi Nian: "..."

Very well, coming to Jade Pavilion was the right choice.
