Chapter 466: Terrifying Soul Light

A vast, ancient voice!

It came from the deep canyon below, shrouded in clouds and mist, with the resonance of Dao flowing through it.

Immediately after!

With a "creak"!

An ancient and mysterious great hall opened.

The Beiyu Xianzun Palace!

Back on the Zhisheng Star, after Lu Li broke through to the Martial Emperor realm, he had entered it once.

That time.

Lu Li had paid his respects as a junior.

But this time, he could interact as an equal.

Lu Li's gaze shifted.

The canyon below was deep, spanning a full thousand miles, and the swirling clouds and mist were all manifestations of the power of the Great Dao. Clearly, the Great Dao Alliance treated Immortal Venerable Beiyu well, having also arranged a place with a dragon vein for him.

After observing for a moment!

Lu Li entered the Beiyu Xianzun Palace.

"Heh, I truly didn't expect that in less than ten years, you would have already broken through to such a realm."

Immortal Venerable Beiyu was still sitting upright on his prayer mat.

His expression appeared calm!

Yet in his heart, he was experiencing turbulent waves!

Since the Great Dao Alliance had notified the Liyu Palace, they naturally had also told Immortal Venerable Beiyu about Lu Li. Upon learning that Lu Li had broken through to the True Immortal realm, he hadn't believed it at all in his heart.

You must know!

Just a few years ago!

Lu Li had only just broken through to Martial Emperor on the Zhisheng Star!

In just a few short years!

He had broken through to True Immortal!

Even looking across the entire universe, such an existence had never been seen.

Furthermore, during the fierce beast war in the Di San Jie of the Sheng Xing, he had seen with his own eyes Lu Li condense all his essence, blood, and origin, wanting to perish together with the Devourer Immortal Venerable.

Under such circumstances!

How could he have returned from the dead?

"Palace Master Lu, you truly have great means."

Immortal Venerable Beiyu gave a bitter laugh.

He hadn't expected.

That he, a dignified Immortal Venerable, had actually been deceived by a Martial Emperor a few years ago.

"Presumably, the disappearance of the Saint Martial Profound Sect was also your doing, right?"

At that time!

On the same day Lu Li died.

The Saint Martial Profound Sect had also vanished.

Although he had been suspicious, he hadn't thought too deeply about it, assuming only that the Saint Martial Profound Sect feared having no backing after Lu Li's death and would face retaliation from other forces, thus activating the means left behind by the Saint Martial Great Emperor to relocate the entire sect.

Thinking about it now!

Everything had been calculated by Lu Li long ago!

Even he had been deceived!

"Then, during the fierce beast war in the Di San Jie of the Sheng Xing, why did Immortal Venerable Beiyu not intervene to save me?"

Lu Li's voice was calm.

But soon.

The two of them brushed these matters aside.

These were all in the past; both were True Immortal powerhouses, so naturally, they would not continue to dwell on them.

"According to my deduction, had Immortal Venerable Beiyu intervened that day, the Devourer Immortal Venerable would have been at least severely injured, and the Sheng Xing Court should not have suffered such an easy defeat. Why is it that you have suddenly appeared here now?"

Lu Li asked.

As for the star map to get here!

He had been able to find it back then!

As a True Immortal powerhouse, it was likely already hidden in his mind!

This was not particularly strange!

"Heh, we indeed did not suffer a crushing defeat, but the outcome was not too good either."

Immortal Venerable Beiyu smiled helplessly.

Since Lu Li had become a True Immortal, he now had the qualifications to discuss the Dao as an equal, so naturally, there was no need to hide these things.

Next.

He recounted everything that had happened in the Shenchuan Xinghe after Lu Li left.

It turned out!

After severely injuring the Devourer Immortal Venerable that day!

The Ten Thousand Beast Divine Nest was enraged and launched an all-out war!

In order to fight back!

Immortal Venerable Beiyu naturally mobilized all the power of the Sheng Xing Court!

But in the end, the difference in strength was significant; even though they lost one True Immortal fierce beast, the Sheng Xing Court fought extremely difficultly, and in less than a year, they had lost nearly half their strength.

Immortal Venerable Beiyu knew!

If it continued!

Even if they exhausted all the power of the Sheng Xing Court, they would be unable to defeat the fierce beast army!

For this reason!

He fought while retreating.

Preserving strength, after letting everyone retreat to the Zhisheng Star, he used the Sumeru Mustard Seed to bring everyone to the Xuanhuang Continent.

"So that's how it is."

Lu Li nodded lightly.

If it was to preserve strength, it was acceptable.

After all, the fierce beast forces in the Shenchuan Xinghe indeed far exceeded those of the Human Race; continuing to fight by force might not necessarily yield any benefits.

However, given this Immortal Venerable Beiyu's personality, I fear there was more self-interest in this move; otherwise, had he come to the Xuanhuang Continent alone, at most he would only have been recruited by the Great Dao Alliance or major forces. How could he have obtained such an excellent place to reside?

"Palace Master Lu asking so much, presumably it is for the sake of Yan Shoufeng and the others from the Saint Martial Profound Sect, right?"

Immortal Venerable Beiyu asked calmly.

Jiang Wuyan and the others were secretly arranged by Lu Li to enter the Saint Martial Profound Sect's team for training; apart from Yan Shoufeng and a few others from the Saint Martial Profound Sect, no one knew.

Although True Immortals are strong!

They cannot foresee the future!

"Exactly."

Lu Li nodded lightly: "May I ask Immortal Venerable Beiyu, where are they now?"

Just now, high in the sky.

His perception had already probed this entire area, yet he had found nothing!

"They had already secretly broken away from the Sheng Xing Court's control half a year after the Saint Martial Profound Sect left, and disappeared into the universe's starry sky," Immortal Venerable Beiyu said.

"They left?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Li's mouth.

Yan Shoufeng, Jiang Wuyan, and the others were able to break through to become Saints, so their vision was naturally not poor; I imagine they saw the inevitable defeat of the Sheng Xing Court and thus escaped early.

In that case!

There was no need to worry too much.

"Then may I ask, from which starry sky did they finally disappear?" Lu Li asked.

"The Feihun Star Territory!"

Immortal Venerable Beiyu did not hide it.

"That place?"

In Lu Li's mind.

The star map left by the Five-Colored Sparrow kept flipping, points of spiritual light flickering, and a route emerged in his mind.

When he left back then!

He had given the star map left by the Five-Colored Sparrow to Jiang Wuyan.

And told them!

If their training was sufficient, they could come to the Xuanhuang Continent to rendezvous.

And that map!

Recorded almost all routes from the universe's starry sky to the Xuanhuang Continent. According to the map's guidance, there was only one route from the Feihun Star Territory to the Xuanhuang Continent. Since they disappeared from there, they must have come here along that route.

"Why, does Palace Master Lu want to go find them?" Immortal Venerable Beiyu asked tentatively.

"Naturally."

Lu Li did not hide it either.

"They are all familiar people; naturally, I do not wish for them to perish in the universe's starry sky."

"Heh, Palace Master Lu truly has a compassionate heart."

Immortal Venerable Beiyu just smiled.

"However, the universe's starry sky is so vast that even True Immortal powerhouses find it difficult to traverse. Wanting to find people within it is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack."

"I must try." Lu Li nodded lightly.

Immortal Venerable Beiyu's expression froze.

This kind of futile effort!

He hadn't expected Lu Li to be so persistent.

But soon, he returned to calm: "Yan Shoufeng and the others have already been gone for several years. Even if Palace Master Lu wants to search for them, there is no need to rush. Why not first discuss the matter of an alliance between our two sects?"

"An alliance?" Lu Li frowned.

"Palace Master Lu arrived here before me, so presumably you already know the situation of this Xuanhuang Continent. Since the fierce beasts are like lingering ghosts, and we both come from the Shenchuan Xinghe, why not join hands? This way, we can also possess more self-preservation power."
