"Hidden Void Drill?" -> term "Hidden Void Drill" (Yin Kong Zuan? but not in glossary). It's a treasure name. Not in provided glossary. Should we translate? According to rules: cultivation/treasures must be translated by meaning, not romanized. "Hidden Void Drill" literal meaning: "Hidden Void Drill"? Actually "Hidden Void" hidden void, "Drill" drill/awl. Could be "Hidden Void Awl". But we need to translate by meaning. However we need to see if any standard translation exists? Not given. We must translate meaning. So we need to produce English translation: "Hidden Void Drill"? Let's think: "Hidden Void Drill" maybe a treasure that can drill into hidden void? Could be "Hidden Void Auger". But we need to be faithful: translate meaning, not add. So we can translate as "Hidden Void Drill". That seems plausible.

We need to check for any other named entities: "Wang Yu" is a character name not in the glossary; per the rule, personal names should be romanized in pinyin with capitalization: Wang Yu. "Old man" is generic, not a name. "Cooking King Immortal City" is in the glossary. "Immortal Realm" is in the glossary. "Thieves' Sect" is in the glossary. "Yun Xiantai" is in the glossary. "Wuji Shanmai" is in the glossary. "Shanmen" is in the glossary. "Dao Yi Shengdi" is in the glossary. "Zhu Tian Wan Jie" is in the glossary. "Bai Yuan" is in the glossary. "Shīzūn" is in the glossary. Also "Wang family" could be considered a clan name; per the rule, we should list named entities for characters, so we would include "Wang Family". Regarding "Wang Lao San" (the third son of the Wang family), it's ambiguous whether it's a nickname used as a name. If it is a habitual nickname, we would romanize it as "Wang Lao San"; if it's merely descriptive, we would translate it as "the Old Third of the Wang family" and not list it as a named entity. To be safe, we will treat it as descriptive and exclude it from the list of named entities. Thus we will only include proper nouns: personal names (Wang Yu, Bai Yuan), place names (Cooking King Immortal City, Immortal Realm, Thieves' Sect, Yun Xiantai, Wuji Shanmai, Shanmen, Dao Yi Shengdi, Zhu Tian Wan Jie), sect names (perhaps "Dao Yi Shengdi"), etc. Additionally, the treasure "Hidden Void Drill" needs to be translated and added to the glossary as a named entity.

Also, Yun Xiantai, Wuji Shanmai, Shanmen, Dao Yi Shengdi, Zhu Tian Wan Jie, Immortal Realm, Cooking King Immortal City, Thieves' Sect, Bai Yuan, and Shīzūn are already in the glossary.

Also, the Wang family may not be needed, and Wang Yu is Wang Yu.

Also, the term "old man" is not a name.

Also, the term "Wang family Old Third" may not be required.

Also, the Wang family appears again.

Also, the Wang family appears many times.

Also, the Wang family maybe we should include as "Wang Clan". But it's a family name; could be considered a named entity (the Wang family). I'd include "Wang Family". However the rule says exclude generic forms of address (not ranks). "Family" is generic but attached to a surname makes it a proper name? Usually "Wang Family" is a proper noun referring to that clan. I'd include.

But we need to check if any other named entities: the Wang family treasury is probably not a name.

The term "Wang family treasury" appears in line 【25】: "Leaving the treasury, Wang Yu's father alone left the family." Actually "treasury" is just a treasury, not a name.

The term "Wang family treasury" is not present.

The Wang family appears.

The term "Wang family Old Third" appears.

The Wang family appears many times.

The Wang family maybe we should include as "Wang Clan". I'll include "Wang Clan".

But we need to be careful: The glossary list expects JSON array of objects with raw_term and original_term. We need to list every named entity that appears in these lines. We'll need to produce entries for each unique named entity.

Let's go through each line and extract named entities:

【1】 Hidden Void Drill is the English translation of the Chinese term meaning "hidden void drill". We'll add an entry with raw term "Hidden Void Drill" and original term "hidden void drill".

Wang Yu corresponds to Wang Yu. Also, father is a generic term, so no entry is needed.

This is also normal; not to mention Wang Yu, even among peers of the old man, few have heard of the Hidden Void Drill, let alone seen it.

Hidden Void Drill and Cooking King Immortal City correspond to Cooking King Immortal City.

Cooking King Immortal City and Immortal Realm correspond to Immortal Realm.

If it weren't for a fortunate coincidence in his youth, the old man wouldn't know of the Hidden Void Drill's existence.

But I never expected that, after so many years, seeing the Hidden Void Drill again would actually be in our own treasury.

He simply told Wang Yu about the Hidden Void Drill.

Upon learning it was a treasure of the Cooking King Immortal City, with a single function but an extremely strange ability.

Frowning, he remained silent for a long time, and Wang Yu finally spoke in a low voice.

"So the Thieves' Sect is the Cooking King Immortal City, and the Cooking King Immortal City is the Thieves' Sect? All these recent events were caused by the Cooking King Immortal City?"

Faced with Wang Yu's guess, the old man made no decision, merely saying.

"I dare not say it was done by the Cooking King Immortal City, but it is certainly related to it."

Wang Yu? Actually line 【14】 reads "Okay, then I will..." spoken by the old man, which is not a named entity.

"You stay in the clan, I'll go myself." spoken by the old man, which is not a named entity.

Before Wang Yu could finish speaking, the old man interrupted.

"Dad..." spoken by Wang Yu, which is not a name.

The Wang family and the Cooking King Immortal City are not on the same level of strength, so even if they grasped the clue of the Hidden Void Drill, they must handle it carefully.

Moreover, when they go to question, it cannot be just the Wang family's word; they must bring in other forces and unite to put pressure on the Cooking King Immortal City.

In the end, the old man still decided to go himself.

Not daring to defy his father, Wang Yu finally nodded in agreement.

But fortunately, they now have some clues; knowing the Cooking King Immortal City, they can follow the vine to melon and eventually catch those thieves.

Just thinking about the IOU left by those thieves makes Wang Yu's teeth itch with anger.

It's utterly bullying, simply outrageous.

Wang Yu's father, but not a name.

Wang family hall is generic, Old Third maybe.

"All right, no need to guard here anymore; the matter has some leads, and Father personally went to handle it."

Old Third.

The term "Wang family Old Third" could be translated as "Old Third Wang". We'll treat it as a named entity: Old Third Wang. However we need to decide.

Wang Yu nodded, and immediately, under Lao San's questioning, he told him everything about the Hidden Void Drill and the Cooking King Immortal City.

After hearing Wang Yu's explanation, Lao San of the Wang family was stunned for a moment.

"Cooking King Immortal City? They're fine cooks, why would they turn into thieves?"

"Don't speak nonsense; the matter is not yet settled. Father only said the Hidden Void Drill is a treasure of the Cooking King Immortal City, which does not equal it being done by them."

Some things must not be spoken rashly, especially when the Wang family's strength is far inferior to that of the Cooking King Immortal City.

After being scolded by Wang Yu, Lao San of the Wang family finally closed his mouth, somewhat unwillingly.

But in his heart, he had already concluded that this matter was surely the doing of the Cooking King Immortal City.

However, despite Wang Yu's repeated warnings, he still dared not act on his own.

Father has personally stepped in; if he now acts on his own and messes things up, he'll likely get punished again.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been punished by his father the most, and has not lacked beatings.

At last, the Thieves' Sect affair has yielded a clue, and the finger points directly to the Cooking King Immortal City.

Inside the Cooking King Immortal City, Bai Yuan, who had just finished handling city affairs, suddenly sneezed for no reason.

Bai Yuan.

Recently, the Cooking King Immortal City has been in a closed-city period, already cut off from the Immortal Realm, and it will be another half year before it reconnects with the Immortal Realm.

Thus, there are not many affairs in the city, and Bai Yuan and the others know nothing of what happens in the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, they do not realize that many forces in the Immortal Realm have already united because of the Thieves' Sect affair, preparing to launch a punitive expedition against the Cooking King Immortal City.

They only need to wait for the Cooking King Immortal City to open its gates, then they will march straight in.

At this moment, Bai Yuan had not yet anticipated the coming trouble.

On another side, the group from Yun Xiantai that had retreated intact from the Wang family's treasury.

After venturing deep into the Wuji Shanmai, they happened upon an immortal mountain by chance.

Immortal Mountain (generic? "Immortal Mountain" means immortal mountain, not a proper name). Not include.

On its summit lies a spirit spring, and moreover, the scenery around the peak is beautiful, with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth clearly much richer than elsewhere.

Gazing at this towering peak piercing the clouds, Yun Xiantai could not help but exclaim.

Dao Yi Shengdi corresponds to Dao Yi Shengdi, and Shanmen corresponds to Shanmen.

After traveling so many places, this is the most suitable spot they have encountered to serve as the Shanmen.

Immortal Realm forces is generic.

Such a suitable ownerless land is probably truly only to be found in the Wuji Shanmai.

After all, the Wuji Shanmai has no inhabitants; aside from this place, anywhere else that had such a feature would likely have been discovered long ago and taken over.

Standing to the left and right of Yun Xiantai, everyone also surveyed the immortal mountain before them, and indeed it was not bad.

Zhu Tian Wan Jie corresponds to Zhu Tian Wan Jie, Dao Yi Shengdi, and Immortal Realm.

Shīzūn, we have also accumulated quite a bit of capital recently; we can consider founding a sect.

Qi Xiong at the side proposed.

Regarding this, Yun Xiantai nodded.

It's been a while since coming to the Immortal Realm, it's also time to have a foothold.

In the future, Ye Xiaozi walking the Immortal Realm also needs to have a root.

Although Zhu Tian Wan Jie has Dao Yi Shengdi, but everyone now is in the Immortal Realm, cannot just go back anytime.

Therefore establishing a Dao Yi Shengdi in the Immortal Realm is still very necessary.

In the future, if there is an opportunity, let the Dao Yi Shengdi of the two realms have more contact and exchange, that would also be beneficial with many advantages and no harm.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, establishing a sect and founding a mountain is inevitably necessary.

Moreover, having now found such a suitable Shanmen, what reason is there to hesitate?

"Good, right here we will establish the sect and found the mountain, so that my Dao Yi Shengdi will also stand in the Immortal Realm in the future."

"But Shīzūn, this is Wuji Shanmai, there are many demon beasts and immortal beasts; establishing a sect here, wouldn't there be some......"

"What's that? We cultivators, what fear these risks."

"Wuji Shanmai is dangerous, then my Dao Yi Shengdi should all the more be established here, to protect peace in one region."

Establishing the sect is imminent, everyone becomes more excited as they speak, feeling only a heroic spirit filling the chest, somewhat like a mighty spirit that swallows mountains and rivers blocked in the chest.

Speaking of excitement, Hong Zun couldn't help but open his wine gourd, gulped a big mouthful of wine, then staggered and flew up, saying to everyone.

"Shīzūn, fellow senior brothers, let me go explore this mountain first, to take the lead for everyone."

"Haha, I, Hong...... Bang."

Laughing, he flew toward the mountain peak, but just as he entered this mountain range's range, everyone only saw a white light flash, and Hong Zun was directly blown away.
