Chapter 430
by fanqienovelChapter 430: Fall into Ecstasy
Ji Yue Bai was the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect.
Over the years, as the war between the Human Race and the beast tribes intensified, everyone in the Qingyun Sect who was above the Transformation stage, except for him, had been summoned by the alliance.
The alliance was formed by the Human Race to combat the beast tribes.
During wartime, the alliance held absolute authority; all Immortal Sects and factions had to unconditionally cooperate with the alliance. If they did not comply, they would face severe suppression from the alliance.
Moreover, no Immortal Sect or faction could hope to escape being summoned by the alliance. If the alliance failed, and the Human Race was destroyed by the beast tribes, they could not escape destruction.
If the alliance strengthened, it would be even less tolerant of those attempting to flee during wartime. At that point, the alliance would conduct a reckoning, and there would be no living space left for any sect or faction that tried to evade summoning.
However, if they did not evade the summons, although cultivators above the Transformation stage were sent to the battlefield, it did not mean they would all die.
Even if they died, they could still earn cultivation resources for those left behind.
As long as the sect survived, even if only Nascent Soul stage cultivators remained, the sect could eventually develop again if the Human Race overcame the beast tribes.
Thus, facing the alliance’s summons, Ji Yue Bai could only watch helplessly as all disciples and elders below the Transformation stage were sent to the battlefield.
Fortunately, the alliance rules stipulated that sect masters could be exempt from the summons.
If the sect master were also summoned, and if they were to die, there would be no one left to guide the young disciples, placing the sect at risk of losing its legacy.
At that moment, Ji Yue Bai was pondering the future arrangements of the Qingyun Sect.
Suddenly, he saw a figure appear before him.
This unexpected situation startled him.
However, upon sensing the overwhelming aura emanating from the individual, he immediately understood that this person was not someone he could provoke.
“Junior Ji Yue Bai greets the senior,” Ji Yue Bai hurriedly bowed respectfully to Li Xiaojun.
“There’s no need for such formalities. I have been entrusted by an old friend from the Immortal Realm to deliver some items to the sect master of the Qingyun Sect. You are the sect master, right? Here you go,” Li Xiaojun said as he took out a storage ring and handed it to Ji Yue Bai.
Seeing the ring being presented, Ji Yue Bai instinctively took it.
“Senior, are you from the Immortal Realm?” Ji Yue Bai asked in surprise.
“What? Does it not seem like it?” Li Xiaojun smiled and then released a powerful pressure comparable to that of the Heavenly Immortal realm.
In the next moment, Ji Yue Bai was overwhelmed by the immense pressure and fell to the ground.
The entire grand hall felt as if it was on the verge of collapse due to the tremendous pressure.
Fortunately, Li Xiaojun’s divine sense was released and then retracted promptly.
Ji Yue Bai, pinned to the ground by the overwhelming pressure, was now drenched in cold sweat.
“Senior, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have doubted you,” Ji Yue Bai said respectfully to Li Xiaojun as the pressure vanished.
“It’s good that you realize your mistake. The items have been delivered; I shall take my leave,” Li Xiaojun said to Ji Yue Bai before preparing to depart.
“Senior, wait.”
Ji Yue Bai quickly called out to Li Xiaojun.
“Is there anything else?”
“Excuse me, senior, could you tell me which senior from the Immortal Realm asked you to bring us these items?” Ji Yue Bai hurriedly inquired.
Hearing this, Li Xiaojun thought for a moment and said, “It is a senior who ascended from your Qingyun Sect over five hundred thousand years ago. Her name is Wen Qinglan, and she is now a Profound Immortal stronghold.”
“You probably don’t know the ranking in the Immortal Realm. After tribulation stage cultivators ascend, they enter the human immortal barrier, then move on to Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, and Golden Immortal. The Golden Immortal is the most powerful being in the Immortal Realm, equivalent to the tribulation stage cultivators in the mortal world. However, there are currently only two beings who have broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, so your sect’s Wen Qinglan is considered a super strong powerhouse beneath the Golden Immortal,” Li Xiaojun explained with a smile to Ji Yue Bai.
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Ji Yue Bai displayed a look of excitement and surprise.
However, in Li Xiaojun’s keen divine sense perception, he noticed that Ji Yue Bai wasn’t just excited; he also seemed somewhat anxious.
Li Xiaojun clearly understood what Ji Yue Bai was worried about.
Because the Qingyun Sect now was not the same as it had been five hundred thousand years ago.
Ji Yue Bai must have thought that if this senior found out, who knows what might happen.
“Are you worried? Are you anxious?” Li Xiaojun asked Ji Yue Bai with a smile.
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Ji Yue Bai’s heart sank, realizing he had been discovered.
Just as Ji Yue Bai grew even more anxious, Li Xiaojun lightly said, “Before coming to the Immortal Realm, I asked Wen Qinglan if she wanted to bring these items, considering that your Qingyun Sect has not had anyone ascend for many years, and perhaps it has been destroyed. She said it was fine; if there’s a sect named Qingyun Sect, whether or not it’s the same one she once passed down, she instructed me to deliver these items to the sect master.”
After saying this, Li Xiaojun continued lightly, “So you don’t need to be worried or anxious. These items were originally meant for you.”
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun, Ji Yue Bai finally regained his composure from his overwhelming anxiety.
“Thank you, senior.” He quickly bowed respectfully to Li Xiaojun and then explained, “Although our Qingyun Sect is not the direct continuation of the Qingyun Sect from five hundred thousand years ago, it was established by our ancestors after gaining the legacy of the Qingyun Sect, and the name has not changed.”
Hearing this, Li Xiaojun nodded, “I’ve given you the items. Develop and cultivate well. If you have the chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, when you encounter the Human Race, you can directly mention Wen Qinglan’s name, saying you are a descendant from the realm of Master Qingfeng.”
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Ji Yue Bai was immediately filled with joy.
At that moment, he was truly thrilled.
He never expected that their Qingyun Sect had influence in the Immortal Realm as well.
In that moment, Ji Yue Bai felt as if he had found his organization, and the immense joy made him tremble with excitement.
“Alright, I’m leaving now.”
Li Xiaojun waved goodbye to Ji Yue Bai and then disappeared.
“Senior, wait…”
Just as Ji Yue Bai wanted to ask Li Xiaojun to wait, Li Xiaojun’s figure had already vanished without a trace.
He wanted to ask this senior for his name and then request help from the Immortal Realm seniors to eliminate the beast tribe attacking them.
If possible, the disciples and students of the Qingyun Sect sent to the battlefield could return safely.
However, the senior had already left, and he could only give up.
After the senior left, Ji Yue Bai finally examined the items in the storage ring.
To his shock, the space inside the storage ring had a diameter of over a hundred meters.
Inside, the only things Ji Yue Bai recognized were a big pile of superior grade spirit stones.
In addition, there were several spirit stones that were even more powerful than the superior grade spirit stones. He guessed they must be the immortal essence stones from the Immortal Realm.
As for the other items, he had hardly seen them before.
Fortunately, when Ji Yue Bai opened the storage ring, a jade slip was emitting light.
Soon, he took the jade slip in hand, pressed it to his forehead, and read the information with his divine sense. He quickly understood the names and uses of all the items in the storage ring.
Upon learning the functions of the items inside the storage ring, Ji Yue Bai instantly fell into a state of ecstasy.
