Chapter 111: Floating Life Elder, Shocking Discovery

The old man muttered.

He looked aged but his aura was strong, bearing the dignity of one long in high position; on his golden bright robes were embroidered the three characters 'Floating Life Pavilion' in vigorous, flourishing script.

He extended his divine sense to feel around, confirmed the direction, then flew toward the far east.

The spiritual energy is extremely rich; there's no mistake, it's that side.

The other side.

In the magnificent and imposing Qingyun Hall.

The Bright Moon Empress had just left a moment ago; after reporting, three figures entered the hall.

"Gudu Qiu Bai, Ying Mei, Mo Feng, we have greeted the Sect Master."

"We have dutifully followed the Sect Master's decree, eradicating the remaining forces of the Blood Slaughter organization."

Upon entering, they saw that imposing figure on the main seat.

The three of Gudu Qiu Bai spoke in unison, clasping their fists.

Feng Qingyang, seated on the main seat, glanced at the three, then his solemn voice rang out.

"Hmm, well done."

"In ten days, it will be the day my Azure Cloud Sect opens its gates to the continent to recruit disciples; when the time comes and disciples increase, our sect will appoint you three as core elders."

First, he painted a big pie.

Eh…… no, rewards for merit, punishment for fault; he is indeed a Sect Master who clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments.

As for the matter of destroying the Blood Slaughter, that was their own doing.

Offend my Azure Cloud Sect, no matter how mighty you are in the Central Region, it won't take more than a few days to be uprooted; once the decree is issued, everything will be destroyed.

Right, speaking of Blood Slaughter, when Lin Wuji transmitted back that day, upon reporting to him, he also presented an imperial blade, which he casually tossed directly into the Resource Hall.

Our Azure Cloud Sect deals only with immortal-tier items; this imperial artifact is truly a bit lowly, but for now it can still be made do with.

The key is that among the Azure Cloud Sect's strong ones, none wield a blade; we can only wait to summon a strong one who uses a blade, then after he achieves merit, we will bestow a reward upon him.

Feng Qingyang thought to himself here.

The three in the lower hall, hearing the Sect Master's words, hastily said emotionally: "Thank you, Sect Master, for your favor; we will fight for Azure Cloud our whole lives, fight for the Sect Master; as long as the Sect Master's decree descends, we dare not disobey."

At this moment, the Sect Master loomed ever larger in their eyes; they had contributed little to destroying the Blood Slaughter organization, feeling ashamed.

After the news from the Central Region spread quickly, many powers, seeking to curry favor with them Azure Cloud, voluntarily helped the three encircle and suppress the Blood Slaughter assassins; they truly contributed both strategy and manpower.

Ten days later, opening the gates to recruit disciples?

They also grasped a key piece of information; now the three were certain that the Sect Master indeed had another major move underway—no wonder, after rushing all the way, they found that the influx of geniuses from the other four great regions into Azure Cloud Immortal City was so great.

After speaking, the three respectfully stood at one side of the hall; they are still the Sect Master's guards, standing their post for the remaining time.

Meanwhile.

The elder of the Floating Life Pavilion, flying all the way from the nine heavens, soon arrived at the mountain range belonging to the Azure Cloud Sect, the Azure Cloud Range.

He found this place blessed with spiritual beauty, the spiritual energy abundant and extremely rich; he thought, 'No wonder it is the seat of an imperial sect, a fine immortal holy land; judging solely by the sect's location, it is already on par with their Floating Life Pavilion.'

After again using his divine sense to gauge the exact location, he continued flying onward.

Soon, lowering his head to look down, he saw a staircase that rose straight to the clouds.

He was slightly surprised, then continued flying.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"You dare intrude my Azure Cloud Sect? Get down here, Emperor!"

The Black Emperor, who was patrolling the mountain gate, spotted the old man in the nine heavens and angrily shouted; then, moving his divine sense, a vast imperial might rolled over.

"Huh? What?"

"Ah!"

The Floating Life Pavilion elder, who was flying, only felt a deafening sound echo in his mind; after a final wave of overwhelming pressure transmitted, he cried out and fell to the ground.

Seeing the incoming person crushed down, the Black Emperor stepped forward with merciless strides.

"You junior, why are you so ignorant of the rules? In this part of my Azure Cloud Sect, flying across is forbidden; you still dare to intrude Azure Cloud?"

The Black Emperor walked up to that old man, looking down upon him.

After the pressure dissipated, the Floating Life Pavilion elder blinked open his eyes in a daze and saw a small black dog barking loudly at him.

Huh! Wait, why does he look increasingly familiar the more I look!

"You... aren't you, Senior Black Emperor?"

The Floating Life Pavilion elder exclaimed aloud, changing from his usual unchanging expression.

"Oh? You've also heard tales of this Emperor?"

The Black Emperor asked doubtfully; he had sealed himself for a hundred thousand years, yet this old man from who-knows-where could actually recognize him.

"Mid Great Saint Realm, nothing particularly special about it?"

"Floating Life Pavilion of the Central Region? What are they doing coming to my Azure Cloud?"

At this moment, the Black Emperor noticed the characters embroidered on the old man's clothing.

As a former great emperor who wandered the Central Region, it's normal that some minor powers haven't heard of him, but this Floating Life Pavilion he knows.

As a major power capable of ranking among the top ten in the Central Region, he naturally recognizes it.

Seeing the Black Emperor acknowledge him, the old man was utterly shocked!

He had only seen the Black Emperor's portrait in his family records; combined with that immense pressure, he speculated and asked, never expecting it to be true!

It's too shocking! I never expected to be able to see Senior Black Emperor here!

Wasn't it supposed to have perished together with the Narcissus Empress a hundred thousand years ago?

Although the Floating Life Pavilion elder had many questions, his cultivation was insufficient to qualify to ask; he merely said respectfully:

"Reporting to Senior Black Emperor, I have seen you in our family records; a hundred thousand years ago, a certain elder of our clan met you once, and out of reverence for you, Senior, it was entered into our family chronicle."

However, Senior Black Emperor is a mid-stage Great Emperor realm powerhouse; why does it look like he's guarding the door?

Could it be that a fallen dog is being bullied by a tiger?

It even joined the Azure Cloud Sect, but even if the Azure Cloud Sect is an imperial sect, it's not awesome enough to have a Great Emperor expert guard the door, right?

The family records state that Senior Black Emperor is a mid-stage Great Emperor realm powerhouse, independent throughout the ages, his might shaking the Five Domains, of a ferocious and combative nature, his whole life unruly and untamed.

The old man finished speaking and then randomly guessed in his heart.

"Oh, you're saying that whoever, it turns out he's your ancestor; indeed I've met him once."

"Although Black Emperor can't recall who that whoever is, it doesn't prevent him from speaking solemnly."

"Speaking of which, I, the Emperor, just now also count as having saved your life; if it weren't for the Emperor blocking you, you would now be nothing but scraps after being sliced by my Azure Cloud Sect's grand formation."

"What business do you have barging into my Azure Cloud Sect? If you don't speak honestly, don't blame the Emperor for turning hostile."

After Black Emperor finished speaking, he coldly stared at the old man.

The speed of his face-changing caught people off guard.

Floating Life Pavilion? Better not provoke my Azure Cloud Sect, otherwise I won't give you face either.

The elder of the Floating Life Pavilion, stared at by Black Emperor, felt a chill down his back; this is a Great Emperor! A Great Emperor powerhouse fixing his gaze on you—how could you not panic?

"Senior Black Emperor, I, acting on the orders of our Pavilion Elder, have come to present an invitation to your esteemed sect."

Meanwhile, Feng Qingyang in the Qingyun Dian also sensed what was happening here with his divine sense.

"An invitation? What is that?"

"My Azure Cloud Sect has no relation with the Floating Life Pavilion, yet they specially sent an elder to deliver this to our door?"

Feng Qingyang instantly became interested.

【"Ding, detected that this side quest is not bad; now I have obtained it for the system."】

【"Now issuing another new quest: the sect will achieve first place in the Five Domains disciples' grand competition in one year; completion will yield rich rewards."】

"Oh? That works too."

"In one year's Five Domains disciples' grand competition, this means the old man's delivery is essentially an admission ticket for the competition."

Interesting; having shown the world the mighty ones of Azure Cloud Sect, next year they will know how terrifying the Azure Cloud Sect disciples are.

With the boost of the Spacetime Tower, the disciples' strength will definitely increase greatly in one year.

Feng Qingyang thoughtfully said.

A sect can't rely only on strong experts; the disciples' strength must keep up, otherwise there will be a gap between the old and the new.

Thinking of this, Feng Qingyang sent a mental transmission to Black Emperor.

"I approve; let him enter the sect."
