“The talents from all the major Holy Lands will soon gather at our Tai Hua Holy Land. We must receive them well and not lose face for our Tai Hua Holy Land, understand?”
“Yes!”
The disciples of Tai Hua Holy Land were busy making preparations to receive the powerful figures from all the major Holy Lands.
Teams dispatched from each Holy Land assembled in Tai Hua Holy Land, meaning that everyone from elders in the Immortal Emperor Realm to the young talents on the Qilin Ranking would come to Tai Hua Holy Land.
The originally tranquil Tai Hua Holy Land suddenly became bustling.
The arrival of disciples from the major Holy Lands was a rare grand gathering.
Several hundred disciples and Elders descended, these disciples and Elders all had the embroidery of an Immortal Sword on the chest of their Daoist Robes and carried Longswords on their backs. The men were impressive and graceful, and the women were elegant, tranquil, and ethereally detached.
“Changliu Supreme Immortal, Frost Sword Skills. These are people from the Changliu Holy Land.”
Wu De, a Daluo Golden Immortal guarding the mountain gate, recognized the identities of this group that had arrived at Tai Hua Holy Land.
“The leader seems to be White Immortal Emperor from Changliu Holy Land. It is said that he once fought with Qingyang Immortal Emperor and was evenly matched. Qingyang Immortal Emperor’s highest ranking on the Qilin Ranking was sixth, while White Immortal Emperor was ranked seventh at the time.”
“In other words, wasn’t White Immortal Emperor already an Immortal Emperor four million years ago?”
“Correct, and now another four million years have passed. White Immortal Emperor’s realm has become unfathomable, capable of leading Changliu Holy Land’s Elders and disciples on such an important mission alone. This is also my first time seeing White Immortal Emperor.”
Wu De’s gaze rested on a handsome man in white at the front of the group.
Wu De had only cultivated for a million years, while White Immortal Emperor had already been an Immortal Emperor four million years ago. These years, he lived in seclusion, and if not for the emergence of the Blood Sea Palace, White Immortal Emperor might not have appeared at Tai Hua Holy Land.
“White Immortal Emperor and esteemed friends, please come inside.”
Wu De led the disciples to escort the people from Changliu Holy Land to the rooms prepared for them in Tai Hua Holy Land.
“It has been a long time since I visited Tai Hua Holy Land. Now that my divine skill has reached Great Accomplishment, it’s unfortunate that Qingyang Immortal Emperor, my opponent, is nowhere to be found.”
White Immortal Emperor became sentimental and heaved a deep sigh.
He had been an evenly matched rival to Qingyang Immortal Emperor, having competed multiple times with both victories and losses. However, during the most crucial competition, White Immortal Emperor was slightly inferior and lost to Qingyang Immortal Emperor, causing his master to be unable to hold his head high in front of Lin Xuantong. White Immortal Emperor was depressed for a while.
After many years of arduous cultivation and mastering his divine skill, White Immortal Emperor wanted to erase this shame. However, Qingyang Immortal Emperor mysteriously disappeared, leaving White Immortal Emperor’s feelings unresolved.
Several days later, people from the Yaochi Holy Land also arrived.
The team from Yaochi Holy Land was led by Liu Mufeng, the Left Envoy.
The Blood Sea Palace was acting unbridled in both Tai Hua and Yaochi territories, so Yaochi Holy Land planned to strike hard and directly sent Liu Mufeng.
Accompanying him were the Holy Son Zhu Tianze, the Holy Maiden Liu Yiyi, and several Immortal Emperors in the realm of Supreme Elders and many disciples, forming a grand procession of several hundred people.
The relationship between Yaochi Holy Land and Tai Hua Holy Land was relatively close, so Liu Mufeng could be said to be an old acquaintance.
Following Yaochi Holy Land, a group dominated by female disciples descended.
All were handsome men and beautiful women, dressed in white surpassing the snow, with Sect symbols shaped like a palace on their chests.
“These are people from Guanghan Holy Land, and the person leading the group is Jin Yun Immortal Fairy, also an Immortal Emperor who became famous several million years ago.”

“I am Wu De. I have seen Jin Yun Immortal Fairy.”
Wu De hurriedly went forward to receive the group from Guanghan Holy Land.
“Hmm.”
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy merely nodded in acknowledgment.
In front of her, Wu De was considered a junior.
“I heard that a female disciple of outstanding talent has recently appeared in Guanghan Holy Land and has become the new Holy Maiden. May I know which Immortal Fairy it is?”
Wu De, as the gatekeeper of Tai Hua Holy Land, although only a Daluo Golden Immortal, was well-informed and knew that Guanghan Holy Land had changed its Holy Maiden.
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy calmly responded, “She is in closed-door cultivation and is not convenient to travel.”
“I see…”
Originally, Wu De wanted to inquire further, but noticing the unfriendly gaze from Jiang Yue Fairy, a candidate Holy Maiden from Guanghan Holy Land, he realized he had misspoken and did not ask any more questions.
Although the various Holy Lands were far from exhausting all their resources in this campaign to eliminate the Blood Sea Palace, they had sent well-known senior figures. They aimed to obliterate the Blood Sea Palace before it could fully gain momentum, with the swiftness and force of a lion hunting a rabbit.
The group from Guanghan Holy Land followed Wu De to their place of accommodation, and on the way, they bumped into the freely moving squad from Yaochi Holy Land.
“Liu Mufeng, is that you?”
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy’s previously calm temperament vanished, a chilly aura enveloped the area, murderous intent rose, and tiny ice crystals began to form in the air.
Both Guanghan Holy Land and Yaochi Holy Land’s teams quickly brandished treasures shining in various colors and were on the brink of conflict.
Wu De and several other disciples from Tai Hua Holy Land turned pale, and sweat streamed down their faces.
Ever since the days when the Guanghan Holy Maiden led people into Yaochi and clashed with the Yaochi Holy Maiden over the candidate Holy Son, the two Holy Lands had been at loggerheads, with very antagonistic relations.
The Guanghan Holy Maiden from those days had now become the current Guanghan Palace Master, and the relationship between the two sides remained tense.
Now that the two groups had met, there was no telling if they would come to blows.
Liu Mufeng gave a wry smile, “Jin Yun Immortal Fairy, with such a formidable enemy before us, our two Holy Lands should put aside past grievances for the time being.”
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy glared at Liu Mufeng, “I find what happened back then unworthy on behalf of my senior sister. Today, out of respect for Tai Hua Holy Land, I will not trouble you. But we will settle this account later.”
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy led the group from Guanghan Holy Land to their assigned quarters, refusing to stay in the same area as Yaochi Holy Land.
