Chapter 529: 528. Chapter 523: Working for the Grand Immortal Governor

"Lord Chi, with so much going on in your Yihai Palace, why did you come here?" After wiping out the Gu family, Ding Huan turned to Chi Feitao.

Chi Feitao's mouth was full of bitterness—he thought to himself, only a fool would want to come here.

But he dared not say it aloud, instead quickly bowing respectfully: "Great Immortal Supervisor, I've been stuck at the peak of Immortal King for many years, unable to advance, so I left the Pangu Great World seeking an opportunity to become an Immortal Emperor."

Ding Huan silently thought: I believe that lie like I believe in ghosts.

Everyone else seeking an Immortal Emperor opportunity heads toward the Pangu Great World—only you went the opposite way. Who'd believe that?

"Do you have the star map coordinates of the Pangu Great World?" Ding Huan asked.

Chi Feitao quickly replied: "I don't. After leaving the Pangu Great World, I met the Ten Thousand Realms Trading Guild and followed their spaceship to Luxing Immortal Land."

"Since I already knew Jia Buqin from my time in the Pangu Great World, I came to visit the Jia family—and I'd just left the Gu family when I saw you, Great Immortal Supervisor."

"Get on." Ding Huan summoned the Cosmic Cauldron.

Chi Feitao felt uneasy but had no choice but to follow Ding Huan onto the Cosmic Cauldron.

He sighed inwardly—he, a late-stage Immortal King, feared a Luo Tian Xian so deeply; perhaps he was the only one in existence.

He felt humiliated, yet lacked the courage to refuse.

"Don't be afraid. If I wanted to kill you, I would've done it back in the Pangu Great World—why wait until now?" Ding Huan, seeing Chi Feitao's wariness, spoke plainly.

Even though Ding Huan said he wouldn't kill him, Chi Feitao still couldn't fully relax—thinking of Ding Huan's ruthlessness and cunning, his heart remained tense.

"Second question: last time you told me you knew the location of the Nine Layers' entrance?"

Ding Huan fixed his gaze on Chi Feitao.

He trusted Chi Feitao wouldn't dare lie aboard his Cosmic Cauldron.

Chi Feitao smiled bitterly: "I merely sensed you came from the Nine Layers, so I boldly deceived you, Great Immortal Supervisor."

Ding Huan's voice turned cold: "So you lied?"

Chi Feitao hurried to explain:

"It's not exactly a lie. When I was still a lowly Jin Xian, I was searching for materials in the void with my master. My master saw a Cosmic Position Disc enter a void vortex and vanish."

"You know about the Cosmic Position Disc?" Ding Huan asked, surprised.

This time it was Chi Feitao who froze—he didn't know the Cosmic Position Disc?

Anyone who'd lived over a million years in the Pangu Great World had seen it, right? It wasn't a secret there.

He quickly recovered: "When the Nine Layers' Cosmic Position Disc arrived at the Pangu Great World, nearly everyone saw it."

"It didn't enter the Pangu Great World—only hovered outside in the void for many years."

"I left the Pangu Great World with my master to search for Void Bamboo Marrow. We were already very far away."

"My master's divine sense accidentally swept over the Cosmic Position Disc as it entered a void vortex and disappeared."

"Do you have a Directional Crystal Ball?"

"Yes, yes!" Chi Feitao quickly pulled out a Directional Crystal Ball and handed it to Ding Huan.

In truth, if he couldn't find Luxing Immortal Land, he'd planned to escape through that void vortex.

But he was only an Immortal King, with no top-tier treasures—so he'd never dared enter it.

Ding Huan took the Directional Crystal Ball, lost in thought about the Cosmic Position Disc's whereabouts.

Could the Dao Ancestor have truly found a higher plane?

Perhaps sensing Ding Huan had no intention of killing him, Chi Feitao's courage finally grew slightly:

"Great Immortal Supervisor, my master said the Dao Ancestor entered the Pangu Great World but didn't stay—likely because the Pangu Great World lacks certain cosmic rules."

"After my master attained Immortal Emperor, he also left through the same void vortex the Dao Ancestor used."

Ding Huan nodded: "Your master is correct—the Pangu Great World's cosmic rules are indeed incomplete. But even incomplete, they're vastly superior to Luxing Immortal Land's."

"You abandoned the Pangu Great World for Luxing Immortal Land—you'll never reach Immortal Emperor in your lifetime."

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Great Immortal Supervisor," Chi Feitao hurriedly replied.

"Decide your own path. I'm going to the Xuan Huang Xian Sect to enter seclusion for a while. I need you to do me a favor during this time."

Hearing Ding Huan wanted his help, Chi Feitao immediately said: "Great Immortal Supervisor, command me—I'll spare no effort if within my ability."

Ding Huan said: "The Directional Crystal Ball for the Pangu Great World's void coordinates."

Hearing Ding Huan wanted the Pangu Great World's void Directional Crystal Ball, Chi Feitao's face fell.

He didn't have one either.

Now that Ding Huan wouldn't kill him, he still wanted to return to the Pangu Great World.

Earlier, at the Gu family, he'd asked about it—the only person who held the void coordinates was Jia Buqin.

But Jia Buqin rarely returned to Luxing Immortal Land.

Even if he did return, after Ding Huan wiped out the Gu family, would they hand over the Directional Crystal Ball?

Ding Huan slapped Chi Feitao's shoulder: "Don't worry—I know someone who has it: Jin Xingzhi, the Immortal Emperor of the Jin family."

"Take my letter of introduction to Jin Xingzhi and say I'd like a copy of the Pangu Great World's void coordinates."

He then pulled out a leather scroll, wrote some polite phrases, stamped it with his Great Immortal Supervisor seal, and handed it to Chi Feitao.

"I'll await your news, Great Immortal Supervisor," Chi Feitao thought furiously inside.

Once Ding Huan obtained the Pangu Great World's Directional Crystal Ball, he'd return with him.

If he could return to the Pangu Great World alongside a Great Immortal Supervisor, how could Yihai Palace fail to flourish?

"Good." Ding Huan activated the Cosmic Cauldron's protective array and let Chi Feitao depart alone.

Www▲ttkдn▲cO

More than half an hour later, Ding Huan's Cosmic Cauldron returned to the Xuan Huang Xian Sect.

The corpses of the Xuan Huang Xian Sect and the Immortal Pill Valley had already been cleared away by Cang Diyi and Xue Xiyun—now it finally looked like a proper Immortal Sect again.

"Huan Ge." Cang Diyi hurried forward as Ding Huan returned.

Ding Huan pulled out a pile of rings and handed them to Cang Diyi. "Find a way to rebuild the Xuan Huang Xian Sect. I'll be cultivating here for a while."

"I can't accept these," Cang Diyi quickly refused.

Ding Huan waved his hand. "Take them. These things originally belonged to you—I took them from the Gu Jia family. If there are still disciples left in the Xian Dan Valley, help rebuild it too."

"Don't disturb me while I'm in seclusion unless something truly important happens."

"Yes, Huan Ge." Cang Diyi didn't know that Ding Huan had wiped out the Gu Jia family in such a short time—it was simply too unrealistic.

He was still wondering how the Gu Jia family could have collected so many rings.

Last time Huan Ge destroyed the Gu Jia family's spaceship, wasn't it only about a hundred or two rings?

When Cang Diyi left.

Ding Huan took out seventy-two top-grade Xian spirit veins and began arranging the Sect's Xian Source Array.

To cultivate, he naturally needed dense Xian spiritual energy.

Though the Gu Jia family seemed wealthy, they'd only extracted a dozen or so Xian spirit veins—these few meant nothing to Ding Huan.

After arranging the seventy-two top-grade Xian spirit veins, Ding Huan worried his cultivation might create too much disturbance, so he set up a Hidden Spirit Xian Array.

The cosmic laws of Lu Star Xian Land couldn't compare to the Pan Gu Great World, but cultivating here was far better than in the void.

With over seventy Xian spirit veins supplying spiritual energy simultaneously, the area where Ding Huan was in seclusion was soon completely enveloped in Xian spiritual energy.

Only the Xian Array Ding Huan had set up prevented any divine sense from penetrating inside.

"Brother-in-law, we've been here so long—why haven't the Gu Jia people come to kill us?" Xue Xiyun returned to Cang Diyi's side, her eyes swollen and red.

She had personally buried every fellow disciple of the Xian Dan Valley, interring all the sect members. In the endless process of digging graves, filling them, and making offerings, she had grown.

After burying the last corpse of a Xian Dan Valley senior sister, she swore within her heart: this lifetime, she would avenge the sect and uproot the Gu Jia family completely.

Cang Diyi shook his head. "I don't know."

He too was puzzled—he had killed the two Xian cultivators guarding this place, and the two Jin Xian stationed at the Xian Dan Valley as well.

Logically, the Gu Jia people should have stormed here long ago. In fact, they'd been here for five or six days already, and not a single soul had come.

Before entering seclusion, Huan Ge had told him to rebuild the Xuan Huang Xian Sect—but how could he rebuild it?

Huan Ge couldn't stay here forever. Once he left, what would become of the rebuilt Xuan Huang Xian Sect?

Even if Huan Ge didn't leave, as long as Jia Buqin returned, they'd still have to flee.

While Cang Diyi was still puzzling, a communication pearl on his wrist lit up:

"Cang Dao you, I'm Qi Ning of the Wanjie Merchant Guild. Could you tell me where you are?"

Cang Diyi immediately sent a thread of his Dao sense into the pearl and replied: "At the Xuan Huang Xian Sect."

Even after sending the message, he still wondered: why was Qi Ning, elder of the Wanjie Merchant Guild, seeking him out?

If she wanted to befriend Huan Ge, Huan Ge had clearly told her to get lost when he left.

Cang Diyi didn't wait long before a spaceship shot from afar and landed outside the Xuan Huang Xian Sect.

As soon as Qi Ning stepped off the ship, her gaze fixed on the place where Ding Huan was in seclusion—a blur, utterly impenetrable to divine sense.

Cang Diyi quickly said: "Elder Qi, that's where Huan Ge is in seclusion. Don't scan it with your divine sense."

Hearing that Ding Huan was indeed here, Qi Ning was overjoyed, her face beaming with smiles:

"Younger Brother Cang, since the Gu Jia family has been completely uprooted, if you wish to rebuild the Xuan Huang Xian Sect, the Wanjie Merchant Guild can offer you some assistance."

Cang Diyi froze. After a long moment, he asked uncertainly: "Elder Qi… did you just say the Gu Jia family has been completely uprooted? What do you mean?"
