Chapter 907: Chapter 907

After spending hundreds of years creating the Six Desires Hongmeng Heavenly Skill, Chen Hai’s path ahead was now clear and smooth.

Now, having already reached the Perfect Daluo Golden Immortal state, he was indeed just one step away from the Quasi-Saint Realm.

By his own estimation, it would take no more than one to two years to make that crucial step forward.

For the average person, such time might not seem long, but for cultivators like him, it could pass within the time it takes to take a nap.

In the Cultivation Hall, Chen Hai sat cross-legged.

He originally planned to strike while the iron was hot, to continue cultivating in the hall for some time longer, no matter what was happening outside, until he became a Quasi-Saint.

Perhaps it was because, despite his plans to dominate within the Mirror Moon Space, he ended up being defeated by Li Xuanfeng, leaving him feeling agitated, as if a stifling pressure remained within his heart. He sat on the mat in the center of the hall for half a day, unable to enter the right state of mind.

"Having stayed in this Cultivation Hall for hundreds of years, never stepping outside, I have no idea what the current situation outside is like."

"Forget it, I should just end my seclusion for now and take a stroll outside the Immortal Mountain, wandering around a bit."

"Once my mood improves and the stifling feeling dissipates, I’ll naturally find it more effective to return and cultivate again."

Frowning, Chen Hai pondered for a moment before standing up, opening the door of the Cultivation Hall, and stepping outside.

As the founding patriarch of the Black Water Lineage, he did not wish to alert others about his exit from seclusion.

Concealing his aura with the Six Desires Law, he appeared completely unremarkable, resembling a novice cultivator who had just entered the Immortal Realm.

At present, there were at least several thousand cultivators of such strength on the Black Water Immortal Mountain.

Blending in with the fourth and fifth-generation disciples, Chen Hai was inconspicuous, entirely the kind of person one might overlook by accident.

He was exceptionally familiar with the Black Water Immortal Mountain.

In less than an hour of wandering, he had already left the mountain gate, heading directly towards the territory beyond the Immortal Mountain.

Apart from Gu Cangsheng, who was sweeping at the foot of the mountain and noticed Chen Hai’s departure, giving him a few more glances, no one else on the Immortal Mountain knew of his whereabouts.

Just as he left, Heavenly Maiden Shi Qingying, accompanied by two attendants, arrived at the foot of the Black Water Immortal Mountain.

Many in the surrounding areas were aware that Chen Hai was the founding patriarch of Black Water Immortal Mountain.

Though it had been many years since visiting the West Barbarian Mountain territory, Shi Qingying quickly discovered this information after disembarking from the Spirit Boat and made her way directly to the Black Water Immortal Mountain.

After all, the Black Water Immortal Mountain was already renowned in the region.

Although people from other territories on Golden Dawn Island mostly gathered within the few thousand miles of the West Barbarian Mountain territory, due to their significantly weaker strength compared to Black Water Immortal Mountain, even if they united, they still had a substantial gap in power.

"Elder, I have urgent business that requires consulting with your patriarch Chen Hai, could you please inform him for me?"

Pausing, Shi Qingying surveyed the surroundings, her gaze quickly landing on Wan Zhongshan.

With a smile, she walked over to Wan Zhongshan, clasping her hands in greeting.

She came here intending to persuade rather than confront, due to her relationship with Chen Hai.

In Shi Qingying’s view, it would not be bad for Chen Hai’s Black Water Lineage to fall under the sway of the Demon Palace.

After all, with the return of Supreme Xuanyuan as a Primordial Chaos Great Power, the Demon Palace was destined to dominate the Primordial Land.

Under overwhelming forces, without allying with such a significant power, ordinary forces would find it hard to survive in this world.

"Seeking our founding patriarch? Who are you?"

Leaning on his broom, Wan Zhongshan scrutinized Shi Qingying for a moment before asking.

On the Black Water Immortal Mountain, Chen Hai’s status was high, and not just anyone was qualified to meet with him.

Moreover, since Chen Hai went into seclusion, it had been hundreds of years since any external visitors were received.

Though Wan Zhongshan knew of Chen Hai’s departure, he would never casually reveal his whereabouts to outsiders.

"We are from the Demon Palace, coming from the southern Zhan State!"

"Elder, we indeed have an urgent matter to discuss with Chen Hai, I kindly ask you to inform him for us!"

Slightly furrowing her brow, Shi Qingying responded.

Mentioning the Demon Palace was not wise; as soon as the words left her mouth, Wan Zhongshan’s expression turned cold.

"Our patriarch does not see outside visitors."

"What of the Demon Palace? Go back to where you came from!"

Keeping a straight face, upon knowing that Shi Qingying’s group came from the Demon Palace, Wan Zhongshan no longer bothered to engage with them, picking up his broom and resuming his sweeping at a leisurely pace.

Back in the day, as Commander of the Enemy-breaking Camp of the Heavenly Mansion at the Star Stone Mine, clashes with the Demon Palace were frequent.

He grew increasingly displeased with anyone stemming from the Demon Palace.

"Old man, what’s the meaning of your attitude when asked to relay a message?"

"Just a small force on a remote island, do you understand the true significance of the words Demon Palace?" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Let me assure you, the fact that we haven’t directly attacked is a stroke of luck for you!"

"If you don’t appreciate it, and dare to put up airs, I truly wonder who gave you the courage for such audacity!"

Seeing Wan Zhongshan’s indifferent demeanor, Shi Qingying furrowed her brow, unsure of how to persuade him.

The two attendants accompanying her, however, soon looked grim.

One even stepped forward, pointing at Wan Zhongshan, and began to berate him angrily.

These two attendants, though not as powerful as Shi Qingying, were nonetheless Golden Immortal Realm powerhouses.

Due to Shi Qingying’s orders, they had been deliberately restraining their aura. Now, enraged, they unleashed their ferocious aura without restraint.

While speaking, the invisible force emanating from the two attendants pressed down on Wan Zhongshan.

"Little Golden Immortals dare to cause trouble at the foot of our Black Water Immortal Mountain? I’m curious who gave you that courage!"

Tossing aside his broom, Wan Zhongshan’s expression darkened.

With a ’pop’, as a Daluo Golden Immortal, his aura surged powerfully, and the robe he wore burst apart under the sudden force of his aura.

One of the unprepared attendants stumbled under the oppressive force, nearly falling headfirst.
