“In fact, compared to the Great Five Elements Subworld that is currently undergoing integration, the void area in the Tianling Province where a new Five Elements Subworld has just been born seems to be even more important.”

“What used to be a deserted place that nobody cared about has suddenly become a crucial area, tightly guarded by the Garrison Hall.”

“It is said that several Dao Integration experts have been sent there to guard.”

Huangfu Song sighed.

Li Fan nodded in agreement.

Logically speaking, it’s almost impossible for two Five Elements Subworlds to be born successively in the same area. Yet, it has happened now, something that cannot be explained by mere coincidence.

“Perhaps, that void area in Tianling Province can actually nurture Five Elements Subworlds?”

With this thought, Li Fan’s mind started to churn.

“Nine years ago, when I first entered the cultivation world, the wood-attributed subworld within the Five Elements Subworld had already been discovered.”

“I want to achieve Nascent Soul in the Great Five Elements Subworld without alarming the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, but it’s extremely difficult.”

“Though I’m not afraid, it will inevitably waste many opportunities of reincarnation.”

“And since the initial Five Elements Subworld was relocated, the Tianling Province void area has become a blind spot ignored by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.”

“For more than twenty years.”

“Moreover, the power capable of nurturing the Five Elements may be even higher in hierarchy…”

“In the next life, I can work on both fronts and choose the better option.”

Li Fan fell into contemplation.

Huangfu Song thought Li Fan was still shocked by the news and smiled faintly, not disturbing him, and drifted away.

Once it involves a real emergency, the efficiency of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance immediately rises.

A day later, Huangfu Song received a notification and immediately went to the Lingyang Immortal City.

Someone was already waiting there.

Without delay, Huangfu Song led his men, boarded the Dust Crossing Boat, flew out of the Green River Deep Gorge, and headed straight for the Lingyang Immortal City.

On the return journey, luck was on their side.

The usually turbulent Ten Thousand Miles of Burning Sands was unexpectedly calm.

It only took two and a half days to reach their destination.

Lingyang Immortal City, Square of Transmission.

“Friend Qi! It’s a pleasure to meet you!” Huangfu Song greeted with a smile to a handsome, feminine-looking white-robed cultivator named Qi Buyi.

Li Fan also observed this female cultivator named Qi Buyi, as Huangfu Song had mentioned before. Despite only being at the Nascent Soul stage, she was highly regarded by Lu Xichan, the Chief of the Strategy Hall.

Many affairs of the Strategy Hall were handled by her alone.

And she never disappointed Lu Xichan.

Everything was managed orderly and without mistakes.

“Huangfu friend, are all the people here? There’s no time to waste. Let’s set off quickly.” After exchanging pleasantries, Qi Buyi said.

Huangfu Song nodded in agreement, and then the group arrived at the entrance to the teleportation array at the foot of the Heavenly Venerate statue.

Qi Buyi had apparently made prior arrangements.

The guarding cultivator saw Qi Buyi leading the group and merely went through a symbolic inspection before letting them pass directly.

In the next moment, they arrived in a space where a silver screen filled the air, with miniature clouds of black and yellow representing the boundaries of the Great Five Elements Subworld.

Qi Buyi held a jade plaque, adjusting the destination of the teleportation array.

“Huangfu senior, why is this long-distance teleportation array set up inside the statue of the Heavenly Venerate?”

“This fine statue is now being used for such a purpose, which seems somewhat disrespectful,” Li Fan remarked, his curiosity piqued by the unconventional choice of location.

While waiting for the teleportation array to take shape, Li Fan sent a message to Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song’s face darkened, and he glanced at Li Fan.

“Hehe, young friend, don’t overthink it. The Heavenly Venerate has long achieved eternal life, free and unfettered.”

“He wouldn’t care about this.”

“However, it is said that this long-distance teleportation array was designed this way when it was first built. As for the reason, only the Venerable Ones would know.”

Not sure what he was thinking, Huangfu Song, despite being somewhat dismissive of Li Fan’s question, continued to explain.

“Venerable Ones?” This was the first time Li Fan had encountered this term.

He felt a slight stir in his heart but kept a calm exterior.

As the long-distance teleportation array activated, Li Fan pondered the matter of the “Venerable Ones” inadvertently revealed by Huangfu Song amidst the twisting, elongated, fantastical scenery.

On the surface, these two words were easy to explain.

But connected to the “Heavenly Venerate,” they became more complex.

Venerable Ones—whose teachings did they spread?

Naturally, it was the new laws of the Heavenly Venerate, defying the natural order.

Two figures suddenly flashed in Li Fan’s mind.

One was a young man full of vigor, and the other a girl in white clothes as pure as snow.

They were the ones Li Fan had seen when he used the Purple Heaven Soul Viewing Technique to search the souls of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance cultivators who had once besieged Zhang Qianmo in the Fallen Immortal Realm.

The young man had formed his golden core in ten years, and the girl had reached the Nascent Soul stage in twenty years.

They were fortunate enough to witness the Heavenly Venerate’s teachings firsthand and were the first beneficiaries of the new laws.

They traveled the world voluntarily, spreading the new laws for the Heavenly Venerate.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s embryonic form was even established by this group.

Previously, Li Fan wasn’t sure if these people had survived from the ancient times of many tribulations to the present.

But today, an unintentional remark by Huangfu Song confirmed it for Li Fan.

Those Venerable Ones of the past still existed in the world.

Moreover, they held significant positions within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

“Earlier, I speculated that the Tianxuan Mirror might be the true ruler of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. But now it seems that the Venerable Ones are the hidden power behind the alliance.”

“Wait, no.”

At this thought, Li Fan suddenly froze.

“The Tianxuan Soul Lock.”

“Maybe…”

Just as he was about to grasp the truth, the long-distance teleportation array ended.

A strong feeling of dizziness hit him, interrupting his thoughts.

Clearly, many in Huangfu Song’s team had also not experienced the long-distance teleportation array before.

Caught off guard, their figures swayed, nearly falling to the ground.

They appeared quite embarrassed.

Qi Buyi didn’t show any unusual expression, just professionally took out Pure Body Elixir from his bosom and distributed it to everyone.

Li Fan memorized the flash of insight he just had and swallowed the elixir.

The elixir, glowing with a green light, melted as soon as it entered his mouth, working quickly.

Moments later, the discomfort in his body vanished completely.

Under Qi Buyi’s lead, the group once again used the teleportation array on the Tianxuan Province plaza to reach Zhu Bi City.

Then Qi Buyi summoned a Dust Crossing Boat, which carried them towards the Great Five Elements Subworld.

Upon entering the cabin, Li Fan immediately noticed the differences between this Dust Crossing Boat and the one Huangfu Song had used before.

The hull isolated the interior from the exterior. Inside, he lost all sense of the external environment.

Even though the boat was traveling at great speed, Li Fan felt as if he was in a stationary courtyard.

He couldn’t perceive any changes outside.

Neither through the naked eye nor divine sense.
