Qingyun Sect, Jingxing Realm.

After Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue arrived at the Qingyun Sect, he did hear from the patrolling disciples that Li Yu was not in the sect and told him to return another day.

However, Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue did not know if Li Yu was really in the sect. Perhaps it was as Heavenly Venerable Lei Ming had said, he just did not want to see them.

“Young friend, can you please inform him that I’ve sent the Sons of Destiny to Cultivator Li?” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue asked.

“Alright, please wait a moment!” The disciple turned around and flew into the sect.

Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue walked to the forest at the side and arrived in front of the frozen figures. He sensed them carefully and could not help but be surprised.

These people were still alive. Their breathing was normal, but they could not move.

They did not sense any restriction aura or special magic power fluctuations. It was as if they were the ones who stood there without moving.

This was somewhat unbelievable.

How did he do it?

Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue was even more surprised. Even he could not do this. “Cultivator Li is indeed a god!”

After a moment, the disciple returned. A man with an extraordinary aura walked over with him. He had sharp brows, starry eyes, and a handsome appearance.

“This is our Elder Nie!” The disciple introduced.

“Elder Nie, nice to meet you!” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue walked forward and cupped his hands. “I’m the Realm Master of the Heavy Mountain Realm—Zhong Yue!”

Elder Nie’s eyes lit up when he heard Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue’s introduction. He was slightly surprised as he did not expect the person in front of him to be Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue.

Elder Nie had heard of Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue in the Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue’s name was also on the Heavenly Dao Rankings, but Elder Nie had never seen this person before.

After all, he was a high and mighty Heavenly Venerable. How could ordinary people in the Immortal Realm be fortunate enough to interact with him?

Coupled with his restrained aura, no one with a lower cultivation could tell what realm he was in.

“So it’s Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue. Nice to meet you!” Elder Nie cupped his hands in return with a smile.

Although Elder Nie was surprised and even a little excited to see the Heavenly Venerable descend upon the Qingyun Sect, he did not lose his composure.

“I’m flattered, I’m flattered. Just call me Zhong Yue. I’m here today to give you a gift!” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue said humbly.

As he spoke, he flipped his right hand, and a porcelain bottle-like magic treasure appeared. Immediately, a figure flew out of the bottle and transformed into a young man.

This person was handsome and did not seem old, but his gaze was calm and experienced that did not match his age.

Even though he was suddenly released and had arrived in this unfamiliar place, there was still not much emotion in his eyes. He only sized up his surroundings slightly before looking at the words Qingyun Sect on the mountain gate again.

“This is the Son of Destiny and the owner of the Withered Tree Sword. Gu Zheng, I heard that Cultivator Li is searching for the Sons of Destiny, so I specially sent this child here!” said Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue.

Elder Nie’s eyes brightened. He did not expect this person to be the owner of the Withered Tree Sword. Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue had really given him a big gift. “Thank you, Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue. I’ll thank you on behalf of the sect master in advance. However, the sect master is not around. When he returns, I’ll definitely inform the sect master!”

“There’s no hurry. I’ll pay you a visit in the future when you return, Cultivator Li!” Celestial Venerable Zhong Yue smiled.

“Seniors, sorry to disturb you. May I know what this place is?” Gu Zheng suddenly bowed and asked in a deep voice.

“Kid, you’re in luck. This is Li Yu’s sect. In the future, you’ll cultivate well with Cultivator Li here!” said Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue.

Upon hearing Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue’s words, Gu Zheng’s calm gaze revealed surprise, and a smile surfaced on his lips.

So this was…

“That’s Quite a Large Sect! That’s our Qingyun Sect’s current name!” Elder Nie smiled.

“That’s Quite a Large Sect?” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue raised his brows as his eyes brightened as if he finally knew the answer to an unsolved mystery.

“So that’s what it means. Hahaha, I was wondering why the Heavenly Dao Rankings said That’s Quite a Large!” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue laughed.

“Hehe, that’s right. I wonder why there’s a word missing from the Heavenly Dao Rankings!” Elder Nie smiled awkwardly.

However, this was not a big deal. So what if his name was? As long as he was powerful enough, even if his name was Gou Sheng or Tie Dan, others would still address him as a senior expert.

“Haha, this missing word has puzzled countless people!” Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue laughed. Then, he patted Gu Zheng and said, “Go!”

Gu Zheng was also pleasantly surprised. He did not expect to be sent here after going around in circles.

This sect filled him with curiosity.

“Elder Nie, I’ll take my leave then!” Celestial Venerable Zhong Yue cupped his hands.

“Take care!” Elder Nie cupped his hands as well.

After sending off Heavenly Venerable Zhong Yue, Elder Nie brought Gu Zheng into the sect and flew to the Nine-tailed Mountain.

In an instant, Gu Zheng was completely stunned. His calm gaze was already filled with surprise and joy.

Was this… the Immortal World?

…

In the Chaotic Divine Region, Gongshu Ling’s efforts were useless against the Dusk Drum.

‘No, it must be the way I beat the drum that’s wrong!’

However, how could he sound the Dusk Drum?

Gongshu Ling could not understand!

Clearly, this was not an easy task.
