“Madam is in the Guanghan Holy Land, taken in by the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace as a Direct Disciple.”
Daoist Earth Hound, having found the master who defied fate to save him, was overjoyed.
Xia Ningxue truly was in the Guanghan Holy Land.
Lu Changsheng had encountered the second disciple of the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace in the Nether Sea and, sensing a trace of Xia Ningxue’s aura on her, thought that Xia Ningxue must be cultivating in the Guanghan Holy Land.
In the small world where Mount Shu resided, Xia Ningxue’s aptitude was second only to Lu Changsheng’s; it wasn’t strange for her to be valued by the Holy Land.
“Here are some Immortal Pills for your cultivation.”
Lu Changsheng casually took out a Purple Gold Bagua Gourd filled with Elixir Pills for Daoist Earth Hound to cultivate with.
As expected, the master has plenty of Elixir Pills.
Daoist Earth Hound found that his master still had as many treasures as before.
“You will practice within the sect, while I will take a short trip.”
Lu Changsheng transmitted his voice to his disciples. Now, with the cultivation of a sixth-layer Golden Immortal, even the Holy Land could not underestimate him, and thus Lu Changsheng believed he was qualified to pay a visit to the Guanghan Holy Land.
Daoist Earth Hound led the way, and Lu Changsheng followed to the Guanghan Holy Land.
Located in the Land of the Extreme North, the Guanghan Holy Land was adjacent to one of the forbidden lands of the Immortal Realm: the Nether Sea.
Surrounded by ice glaciers, the Holy Land was extremely cold; even Loose Immortals needed to use True Qi to protect their bodies from being frozen by the cold air.
“Madam is the Palace Master’s youngest disciple. The Palace Master of Guanghan Palace has nine Direct Disciples, and Madam, possessing the highest aptitude, has become the Holy Maiden of Guanghan Palace.”
“Besides the Holy Maiden, a Holy Land also has a Holy Son. In addition to the Holy Maiden and Holy Son, there are several candidates as substitutes, so even if the Holy Maiden or Holy Son perishes, they can be replaced immediately.”
“Among them, the second disciple of the Palace Master is one of the substitutes for the Holy Maiden. Before Madam joined the Holy Land, she was originally the prime candidate for the Holy Maiden. After Madam became the Holy Maiden, her relationship with her… became rather poor.”
Daoist Earth Hound talked endlessly along the way.
After all, Daoist Earth Hound had cultivated in Guanghan Holy Land for a period of time and knew quite a bit about the Holy Land, providing Lu Changsheng with a lot of useful information.
Xia Ningxue was actually being nurtured as the Holy Maiden by the Guanghan Holy Land.
Lu Changsheng and Daoist Earth Hound utilized Spatial Talismans to rapidly traverse the space above the ice glacier.
With coordinates left by Daoist Earth Hound and no shortage of Spatial Talismans, Lu Changsheng took a shortcut using Spatial Talismans and quickly arrived deep within the ice field.
A barrier that spanned a million miles surrounded the Guanghan Holy Land, making it impenetrable even with Spatial Talismans.
Daoist Earth Hound led Lu Changsheng to the mountain gate of the Guanghan Holy Land.
All the spiritual energy of the immense ice field was absorbed by the Guanghan Holy Land; the quantity of nature’s spiritual energy across such a vast expanse was incredibly substantial.
“As expected of the Holy Land, such grandeur, the Spirit Gathering Formation has actually trapped the spiritual energy of an area spanning millions of miles. Accumulated Thunder Mountain is nothing compared to this place.”
Lu Changsheng had never been to a Holy Land before and had underestimated the strength of such a place.
A Holy Land that could endure from ancient times to the present possessed unfathomable depths, with just its Spirit Gathering Formation reaching an extent of millions of miles.
Moreover, Guanghan Holy Land was situated in the desolate Land of the Extreme North—empty of human inhabitants, without disturbances to cultivation, meaning also that there were no other sects competing for the spiritual energy.
The mountain gate of the Guanghan Holy Land was guarded by hundreds of disciples dressed in white robes and skirts, arrayed in strict formation, with the team’s leader particularly radiant in white, her face as frosty as ice.
This group also bore the guild insignia of a palace on their chests.
When Daoist Earth Hound recognized the features of the woman leading the team, his face turned ugly, and he awkwardly stepped forward to greet her, “Jiang Yue Fairy, I am the Mountain-guarding Divine Beast of Fairy Xia’s sect gate, and this is a friend from Fairy Xia’s past. Please allow us entry into the Holy Land.”
“You?”
Both the team leader and Lu Changsheng recognized each other.
Lu Changsheng had given Jiang Yue Fairy an extra glance because of Xia Ningxue’s aura in the Nether Sea and had been misunderstood as being fresh.
The team leader obviously had no good feelings toward Lu Changsheng and rolled her eyes, “You can’t go in.”
Lu Changsheng frowned.
Was she taking revenge for the incident in the Nether Sea as retribution?
If that was truly the case, her pettiness was indeed too great.
Daoist Earth Hound also became anxious; why did the Guanghan Holy Land turn around and fail to recognize even its own defender upon his return?
Lu Changsheng said, “Forgive me for the incident that day, Fairy. I’m here this time only wishing to meet an old friend.”
Jiang Yue Fairy snorted coldly, “Fairy Xia said she won’t meet.”
Daoist Earth Hound exclaimed, “Impossible!”
It was Xia Ningxue who had arranged for Daoist Earth Hound to seek out Lu Changsheng; now that he was found, how could she possibly not want to meet Lu Changsheng?
Lu Changsheng’s face turned progressively steely.
He had humbled himself before this Jiang Yue Fairy, just to see Xia Ningxue. Yet she persisted in finding ways to make it difficult.
Although Lu Changsheng generally had a good temper, his patience had limits.
The Guanghan Holy Land was obviously giving him a hard time.
“You better leave quickly. Our Guanghan Holy Land is not someone you can afford to offend. If we start fighting, you’ll die without a whole corpse.”
Jiang Yue Fairy, along with several hundred Guanghan Holy Land disciples, blocked the mountain gate, preventing Lu Changsheng and Daoist Earth Hound from entering.
Jiang Yue Fairy’s cultivation was very high, her aura more formidable than the King of Chaos’s. And among the several hundred Guanghan Holy Land disciples, there were Earth Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and even Daluo Golden Immortals.
If a fight broke out, Lu Changsheng and Daoist Earth Hound would be outnumbered.
Moreover, this was the Guanghan Holy Land’s territory. There might even be an Immortal Emperor present in the Holy Land. Causing trouble here was obviously unwise, and it could additionally cause troubles for Xia Ningxue.
Lu Changsheng’s gaze fixed on Jiang Yue Fairy, “It’s not that Fairy Xia is unwilling to see me, but rather the Guanghan Palace Master has ordered you to stand guard at the mountain gate, to prevent me from entering.”
