Amidst the kowtows and thanks, Cui Heng slowly descended from the sky and arrived at the Wang Family’s mansion.
At this moment, there was no one inside.
That was because during the battle outside, everyone had gone to the city wall to look at the battle outside.
However, Wang Dongyang, Wang Donglin, Wei Yi, White Tiger Child, and the Human Immortals from the various aristocratic families rushed over and greeted Cui Heng respectfully.
The people from the four Immortal sects followed behind hesitantly. They were afraid of death and did not want to go over, but they did not dare to not go.
It was impossible to escape.
After witnessing Cui Heng’s strength with their own eyes, no one felt that they could escape from him. Those who had that kind of thought must have something wrong with their brains.
A moment later, the people from the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect, the Heavenly Cycle Star Pavilion, White Cloud City, and the Void Dao Sect rushed over. They knelt in front of Cui Heng while trembling. “Greetings, Exalted Immortal!”
“Greetings, Exalted Immortal!”
A total of 12 Earth Immortals and 20 Human Immortals were trembling. They were even breathing carefully, afraid that they would accidentally anger Cui Heng.
After all, Wang Dongyang had said very clearly that this Exalted Immortal wanted to kill them.
The people from the aristocratic families felt glad when they saw this.
Fortunately, they’d knelt quickly earlier on and stood in line in advance.
Otherwise, there would definitely be a share for them among the people kneeling here and trembling
Cui Heng sat at the head of the table. His gaze swept across the group of “Immortals” kneeling on the ground and he suddenly smiled. “This is not a place for confessions and to beg for mercy. Follow me back to Changfeng Prefecture.”
With that, he stood up and waved his sleeve. A cloud immediately rose from the ground and lifted everyone present into the sky.
Then, this cloud carried them through the clouds and fog. In the blink of an eye, they had crossed thousands of kilometers. Before they could recover from the shock of flying at such high speeds, they had already arrived above Changfeng Prefecture City.
Regardless of the Human Immortals or Earth Immortals, they were all incomparably shocked when they saw Changfeng Prefecture City below.
Such flying speed far exceeded their understanding.
It was simply unbelievable!
Zheng Nanxun, Hui Shi, Zhang Shuming, and the others also sensed the change in the sky and hurriedly went to the State Overseer’s Office to welcome them.
However, when Cui Heng landed with a large group of people, they were all stunned.
They did not expect Cui Heng to bring so many people back in one go.
Moreover, he had brought so many people from Langya County to Changfeng Prefecture City. What kind of great divine power was this?
It was too shocking.
“Ancestral Grandmaster, this is?” Zheng Nanxun came over and asked curiously.
“A bunch of damned people and a bunch of debatable people.” Cui Heng smiled.
Just this short sentence made the faces of those from the Immortal sects turn pale. Those from the aristocratic families who were originally fine and thought that they were spared, also became flustered.
“Hui Shi,” Cui Heng said to the side.
“Lord Overseer, I’m here!” Hui Shi hurriedly walked over and bowed respectfully.
“Go and interrogate these Human Immortals and Earth Immortals. Ask them if they participated in the siege of the Immortal Dawn Sect a hundred years ago,” Cui Heng said in a low voice. “Don’t worry, they won’t dare to lie.”
As he spoke, the Nine Fire Flame Dragon that was dancing beside him flew to Hui Shi’s side. Its scarlet eyes swept across everyone, making these Human Immortals and Earth Immortals tremble.
They had all seen the strength of the Nine Fire Flame Dragon. It was enough to surpass a Heaven Immortal and was comparable to a Heaven Monarch!
Mere Human Immortals or Earth Immortals were as insignificant as ants in front of this Fire Dragon.
“Yes, Lord Overseer!” Hui Shi immediately nodded and walked towards the group of Immortals. His gaze was sharp as he said in a low voice, “Everyone, follow me.”
The Immortals could only follow, not daring to disobey.
“Thank you, Ancestral Grandmaster!” Zheng Nanxun knelt and thanked Cui Heng excitedly. She knew that this was revenge for the Immortal Dawn Sect.
“Get up.” Cui Heng waved his hand and looked at Zhang Shuming. “Perfected Zhang, follow me. I have something to ask.”
“Yes, Exalted Immortal!” Zhang Shuming hurriedly nodded, but he was a little puzzled.
He felt that although Cui Heng had only been out for a short period of time, he had changed quite a bit and gave off an even more unfathomable feeling.
….
In the State Overseer’s Office.
Zheng Nanxun and Zhang Shuming followed Cui Heng here.
“Have you heard of a peerless demon being suppressed in the core of the earth?” Cui Heng asked the two of them directly.
“The Unparalleled Demon?” Zheng Nanxun pondered for a moment before saying, “Ancestral Grandmaster, I’ve never heard of the Unparalleled Demon myself, but I’ve heard that Master has seen it before. I was instructed that the underground is extremely dangerous. In the future, no matter how high my cultivation realm is, I can’t approach it.”
“There are no records of the Unparalleled Demon in Daoyi Palace, but there are records regarding the core of the earth.” Zhang Shuming suddenly took out an ancient book from his sleeve and handed it to Cui Heng with both hands.
Exalted Immortal, this is a book that our Daoyi Palace found in a pillar when they were renovating the palace recently. It recorded the details of the battle 3,000 years ago, and it contains a description of the core of the planet.
“I originally planned to wait for you to finish dealing with these Immortals and Buddhas from the Upper World before handing it over. I didn’t expect you to coincidentally ask about this. Exalted Immortal, please take a look at this book.
Previously, I told you about the battle 3,000 years ago, but that was only my guess based on some clues. Some of the records in this book completely subverted my previous understanding.”
“Oh?” Cui Heng was a little surprised when he heard this. He took the ancient book in his hand and sized it up carefully. He realized that the cover was already worn out, and even the title could not be seen clearly.
He could only vaguely see the words “Dao Yi”.
However, before he could flip through it, he received a system notification.
[Congratulations! You have discovered an item that can be converted into currency! Do you want to convert it immediately?]
Clearly, this ancient book was also related to the foundation of civilization and had gone through a certain amount of history. He could absorb some kind of aura from it and transform it into system currency.
“Convert!” Cui Heng ordered the System.
Converting currency would not cause any damage to the item itself. Even such a fragile ancient book did not change after being converted into currency.
[Currency +145]
To be able to obtain such a harvest from just a book was definitely a great harvest.
Then, Cui Heng flipped through the ancient book.
He realized that this was a book about the situation.
The author should be a Heaven Immortal mighty figure.
It was about the battle from his perspective, the situation at Daoyi Palace, and the enemies that Daoyi Palace had encountered.
The beginning was clear. The Nine Immortal Sects were not the only ones who besieged Daoyi Palace.
Instead, it was the Ten Immortal Sects.
The Sect Masters of these ten Immortal Sects were all Heaven Monarchs, and they all had an extremely powerful elder.
According to the description in the book, the strength of these elders was far above that of a Heaven Monarch. They were experts at the Fourth realm of the Immortal World and were known as “Mystic Deities”.
At that time, the Daoyi Palace was far stronger than Zhang Shuming had guessed.
As an ancient inheritance that had dominated this planet for more than 7,000 years, it had enjoyed the support of the mortal world for 4,000 years.
Daoyi Palace’s foundation was extremely deep, and its strength was also very powerful.
3,000 years ago, when they were invaded, Daoyi Palace had seven Heaven Monarchs, 12 Heaven Immortals, more than 20 Devas, and even an expert at the Fourth Realm of the Immortal World.
Moreover, the strength of this Fourth Realm expert was above the Mystic Deity realm.
He was known as a Taiyi Mystic Deity.
In the current Heavenly Void World, such an expert could definitely be said to be a giant-like existence. He would not have any problem crushing the entire Heavenly Void World’s forces based on their surface strength.
At the beginning of the battle, the Daoyi Palace suppressed the Heavenly Void World.
A single Taiyi Mystic Deity could suppress 10 Mystic Immortals and 12 Heaven Monarchs. Coupled with the various Heaven Immortals and Devas, the absolute advantage brought about by a high realm was too great.
However, after a certain battle, the ten Mystic Immortals of the Heavenly Void World went to the core of the planet once. When they appeared again, they actually had the characteristics of being indestructible.
No matter how many times they were killed, they could be resurrected!
What was even more terrifying was that they also possessed a strange evil worm that could pollute one’s mind and make one fall into madness, causing the Daoyi Palace to suffer an extremely huge loss.
In the end, the Taiyi Mystic Deity of Daoyi Palace held a secret meeting with the ten Mystic Immortals of the Heavenly Void World. Both sides compromised.
The Daoyi Palace moved its main strength to the Heavenly Void World and became the 11th Immortal Sect. Moreover, they removed books that recorded the past history and make the Daoyi Palace in the mortal world a branch sect.
The Ten Immortal Sects promised not to send any more Sky Ruins Evil Bugs into the mortal world and promised not to attack Daoyi Palace again. They would also help Daoyi Palace obtain the secrets of the Immortal Body.
At this point, the records ended.
It was signed with two words—Northstar.
It could be seen from the words that the author was not satisfied with the outcome of this battle. He felt that the Daoyi Palace was completely digging their own graves by making such an agreement. He also felt vexed by their Ancestral Master’s actions. He actually made such an agreement for the sake of the mystery of the Undying Body.
This ancient book also provided Cui Heng with a lot of useful information.
First was the Fourth Realm of the Immortal World. It seemed to be divided into two realms, the Mystic Deity realm and the Taiyi Mystic Deity realm. The latter’s strength was ten times greater than the former.
The distance between their strength was slightly smaller than the gap between the Early to Mid-stage Golden Core realm.
However, from the description of the ancient books, neither the Mystic Deities nor the Taiyi Mystic Deities seemed to have the Golden Immortal nature.
The Mystic Deities of the Ten Immortal Sects should have obtained the Golden Immortal attribute after going to the core of the planet, obtaining an Immortal Body.
In order to obtain this secret, the Taiyi Mystic Immortal of Daoyi Palace made this agreement that could be said to be a humiliation to the country.
However, Cui Heng had also been to the core of the planet before, but he did not discover any abnormalities there.
What did the ten Immortal Sects obtain from the core of the planet back then? Other than the Immortal Golden Body and the Heavenly Void Evil Bugs, was there anything else?
This puzzled Cui Heng.
However, what he was more concerned about was why the former Ten Immortal Sects had become the current Nine Immortal Sects.
And the one that had disappeared.
Now, Cui Heng already knew the names of the Nine Immortal Sects of the Heavenly Void World.
Comparing it with the information recorded in this ancient book, one could obtain the information about the missing Immortal Sect
Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace!
This was in the sixth message Jiang Qiqi had left behind on the Immortal Sword.
