A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm
Chapter 381: Various PowersChapter 381: Various Powers
Among the two factions of people that had appeared in the teleportation array, one of them were mostly wearing white-robed with golden clouds embroidered upon them, and if Han Li were present, he would've immediately been able to identify their leader as none other than the master of the Northern Glacial Immortal Palace, Xiao Jinhan.
Behind him were four or five other people dressed in Northern Glacial Immortal Palace attire, including Deputy Palace Master Xue Ying and the Golden Immortal, Lu Yue.
Aside from them, there were also three Blaze Dragon Dao dao lords led by Ouyang Kuishan.
As for the other group, they were all dressed in the signature blue robes of the Vast Flow Palace, and they were led by Palace Master Luo Qinghai.
Beside Luo Qinghai stood an effeminate young man who appeared to have been in his early twenties, and even though he was a man, he struck the beholder with the impression that they were looking at a beautiful woman.
As for the rest of the Vast Flow Palace cultivators, most of them had been present during the battle of the Blaze Dragon Dao.
There was an excited look on Lu Jun's face as he stepped forward before extending a respectful salute. "I am the master of Black Wind Island, Lu Jun, and I would like to extend a warm welcome to Palace Master Jin and Palace Master Luo, as well as all other seniors and fellow daoists. It is truly an honor for our Black Wind Island to be hosting all of you."
The man with the Feng surname beside him also stepped forward before extending a respectful salute toward Xiao Jinhan.
Xiao Jinhan merely gave the two a slight nod, then led the way out of the teleportation array.
Meanwhile, Luo Qinghai returned Lu Jun's salute as he said, "You're far too kind, Island Master Lu."
After that, he and the Vast Flow Palace cultivators also emerged from the teleportation array.
Lu Jun's duo immediately stepped aside upon seeing this, and it was as if the two of them were acting as servants, while all of the other Black Wind Island cultivators present were standing respectfully to the side, not daring to make even a single sound.
"So this is the Black Wind Sea. The world's origin qi here is a little sparse, but overall, it's not a bad place," Luo Qinghai remarked as he made his way over to a window of the teleportation pagoda before looking outside.
"I didn't think that we would meet again so soon after we last met in the Blaze Dragon Dao. What a coincidence this is, Fellow Daoist Luo," Xiao Jinhan said as he took a glance at Luo Qinghai.
"I also wasn't expecting to see you again at Wave View City, Palace Master Xiao. May I ask why so many of your Northern Glacial Immortal Palace's cultivators have come to this secluded region on this occasion? If you require the assistance of our Vast Flow Palace, please feel free to tell me, and we'll be happy to do your bidding," Luo Qinghai replied with a smile.
A cold smile appeared on Xiao Jinhan's face upon hearing this, and he took a glance at the Vast Flow Palace cultivators before replying, "Why ask a question you already know the answer to, Fellow Daoist Luo? At the moment, the Vast Flow Palace is truly at the height of its powers.
“Not only does it have the Five Extreme Palace Masters on the Upper Arr Continent, the Seven Vast Flow Disciples are also vastly renowned. Even the young man standing beside you right now possesses exceptional aptitude that I'm extremely envious of. What right do I have to ask all of you to do my bidding?"
Luo Qinghai's smile remained unchanged as he said, "Oh, how rude of me. This is my disciple, Nan Kemeng. Meng'er, pay your respects to Palace Master Xiao. Right now, Palace Master Xiao is the most powerful figure in the entire Northern Glacial Immortal Region. If you can receive some guidance from him, you'll stand to benefit for the rest of your life."
Nan Kemeng's brows furrowed slightly in reluctance, but he still did as he was told, stepping forward as he cupped his fist in a salute. "Junior Nan Kemeng pays his respects to Palace Master Xiao."
Xiao Jinhan merely nodded in response in an expressionless manner.
Luo Qinghai gestured for Nan Kemeng to step back behind him, then said, "As we both know, that place has descended upon the Black Wind Sea. Given your powers and sources, I'm sure you've already uncovered the location of its entrance, right?"
"You have far too high an opinion of our Northern Glacial Immortal Palace, Fellow Daoist Luo. We've only just received wind of this matter," Xiao Jinhan harrumphed coldly.
"Is that so? If you still haven't uncovered the location, then those people from the Dawn Fall Sect most likely haven't found it, either. In that case, it looks like our Vast Flow Palace still has some chances," Luo Qinghai chuckled.
"Are you saying that there are already members of the Dawn Fall Sect here?" Xiao Jinhan asked.
"I'm not sure, I've only been hearing some rumors. Oh, by the way, I also heard that the grand elders of the Dawn Fall Sect seem to have already come out of seclusion," Luo Qinghai replied in an ambiguous fashion.
"You really do have some exceptional sources, Fellow Daoist Luo," Xiao Jinhan said as his eyes narrowed slightly.
"You're far too kind, Palace Master Xiao. No one's sources can compare with the Northern Glacial Immortal Palace's in this immortal region. Baili Yan had done everything in his power to hide himself in the Blaze Dragon Dao, yet you were still able to find him," Luo Qinghai remarked as he took a meaningful glance at the three dao lords behind Xiao Jinhan.
An awkward look immediately appeared on the faces of Ouyang Kuishan's trio, while Xiao Jinhan's expression also darkened slightly upon hearing this.
"It looks like Island Master Lu still has some matters to report to Palace Master Xiao, so I won't stay here and act as an eyesore any longer," Luo Qinghai said with a smile as he glanced at Lu Jun.
A slightly awkward look appeared on Lu Jun's face upon hearing this, and he said, "Not at all, Palace Master Luo. Both of you are esteemed guests of our Black Wind Sea, so..."
However, he was cut off mid-sentence by Xiao Jinhan, who said in a cold voice, "If you wish to leave, then feel free to do so, Fellow Daoist Luo. I'm sure we'll meet again soon."
Luo Qinghai cupped his fist in a salute toward Xiao Jinhan with a faint smile, following which he quickly led all of the Vast Flow Palace cultivators out of the teleportation pagoda.
They didn't linger in Black Wind City, either, flying directly toward the city gate before quickly vanishing into the distance.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jinhan looked on at their departing figures with a contemplative look in his eyes, but it was unclear what he was thinking.
"Palace Master, he seems to know a lot about the situation," Xue Ying remarked as she approached Xiao Jinhan.
"He's always been renowned for being a sly old fox, so it's no surprise that he's managed to gather some information," Xiao Jinhan replied in a cold voice.
"Do you think he's already ascertained the location of the Infernal Frost Immortal Manor?" Xue Ying asked in a slightly hesitant voice.
"That's hard to say, but it doesn't matter even if he has found out the location. While it's true that he's quite slippery and cunning, he doesn't possess sufficient power to pose a significant threat. In contrast, I'm much more worried about the Reincarnation Palace and the Dawn Fall Sect," Xiao Jinhan replied.
"The Reincarnation Palace has always been a formidable foe, but as for the Dawn Fall Sect... Are you referring to their grand elder, Feng Tiandu?" Xue Ying asked.
"That's right. There are only two people who I view as substantial threats in the entire Northern Glacial Immortal Region. At this point, Baili Yan is no longer worthy of concern, so Feng Tiandu is the only one left," Xiao Jinhan said in a cold voice.
Xue Ying didn't know how to respond to this, so she could only stand off to the side in silence.
Xiao Jinhan also stood in silence for a while before turning to Lu Jun and the man with the Feng surname as he instructed, "Give me a detailed rundown of all of the information that you've gathered thus far."
……
Meanwhile, there was a massive gray flying boat racing through the boundless Soul Stirrin Winds of the Black Wind Sea.
The boat was 2,000 to 3,000 feet in length and had been entirely constructed from some type of gray bone material. It appeared a little old and dilapidated, and there were even some large holes on some parts of the boat, while its surface was riddled with some indistinct patterns.
In the face of the boundless Soul Stirring Winds, the boat was made to resemble a small raft in a turbulent sea, looking as if it could capsize at any moment, but if one were to look closely, they would discover that the indistinct patterns on the boat were releasing a thin layer of gray light that kept the Soul Stirring Winds at bay.
The ghastly wailing and sobbing ringing out from the Soul Stirring Winds were also kept out by the layer of gray light, and that was why the boat was able to travel through the Soul Stirring Winds without any trouble.
Seated with his legs crossed at the bow of the boat was a thin and wizened middle-aged man.
His cheeks were extremely sunken, while his skin was green and purple in color, giving him the appearance of a zombie. Furthermore, there were countless dark azure chains wrapped around all parts of his body, and they were occasionally swaying around in the air of their own accord, presenting a very peculiar sight to behold.
The zombie-like man was looking directly forward with two balls of green flames shimmering in his pupils, and there was a complex gray array engraved onto the boat beneath him, extending in all directions to all parts of the boat.
Right at this moment, a figure emerged from within the boat before arriving beside the zombie-like man.
It was a man who appeared to have been 30 to 40 years of age, and he was dressed in a gray brocade robe.
His left eye was tightly shut, and there was a deep scar on his eyelid, indicating that he had been dealt an extremely severe injury there.
"Can you still keep going, Senior Martial Brother?" the gray-robed man asked.
"I'm fine," the zombie-like man replied.
"It's a good thing that we have this flying boat of yours. Otherwise, there's no way we'd be able to pass through these Soul Stirring Winds," the gray-robed man said with a smile.
"These Soul Stirring Winds are indeed quite formidable, but there are many ways to pass through them," the zombie-like man replied in an indifferent voice.
"I would say that there are no more than three people in the entire Northern Glacial Immortal Region that can say that. I may be the master of the Dawn Fall Sect, but even I wouldn't dare to make such a bold claim," the gray-robed man said with a smile.
A hint of pride flashed through the zombie-like man's eyes upon hearing this.
"Rest assured, Senior Martial Brother, I'll be sure to do everything in my power to help you obtain the treasures required for you to reach the High Zenith Stage," the gray-robed man vowed with a serious expression.
"You have my thanks, Junior Martial Brother," the zombie-like man replied with a nod.
"There's no need to thank me, Senior Martial Brother," the gray-robed man said as he hurriedly waved a hand in response.
Right at this moment, a thought seemed to have occurred to the zombie-like man, and a cold gleam appeared in his eyes as he said, "There's been too much on my plate lately, so I didn't get a chance to ask, but have we still not managed to uncover the identity of the culprit who killed Fang Pan and Zhong Luan?"
