Chapter 16: Immortal Treasure Hall

I am the junior; let the Hall Master receive me personally.

I am truly ashamed and dare not accept it.

In the Immortal Treasure Hall.

Purple Fairy opened her mouth, her words tinged with startled honor.

Beside her stood a middle‑aged man.

He wore a blue long robe, dressed in the manner of a Daoist.

This person is the Hall Master of the Immortal Treasure Hall, known as Qingyun Daoist.

His status, though not equal to the heads of the major top powers.

It is not far behind; having been renowned for several thousand years, his strength is unfathomable, making him a contemporary strongman.

And such a being actually came personally to greet, which Purple Fairy truly did not anticipate.

"Purple Fairy, you are now the ninth‑generation Saint Mother of the Ancient Lu Family, of noble status, unlike before," Qingyun Daoist said, very courteously, and continued: "Saint Lu has already informed us in advance; just follow me."

This Hall Master of the Immortal Treasure Hall is divine‑bright and restrained; in every gesture his bearing is extraordinary.

And I, surprisingly, cannot feel any Divine Power fluctuations on him.

If we speak solely of strength, I am far from being his match.

Just as Purple Fairy followed Qingyun Daoist forward.

A voice of Jin Hui Laolao echoed in her mind.

She has been monitoring the other side ever since entering the Immortal Treasure Hall.

She concluded that she is far inferior to this person, and for a moment was somewhat shocked.

"The Immortal Treasure Hall is not weaker than the contemporary hegemon‑level forces; as its Hall Master, it is naturally not simple."

Hearing the transmitted voice, Purple Fairy responded, feeling it was normal yet also very surprised.

It is said that the Immortal Treasure Hall has branches in every of the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

That would mean that existences like Qingyun Daoist number at least three thousand.

No wonder there are countless Supreme Treasures here.

Yet no one dares to seize them.

Purple Fairy pondered.

At the same time, Lu Zhangsheng, still in the womb, was also learning about the outside world.

When he discovered that his mother had arrived at the Immortal Treasure Hall, he began to prepare.

But after a long while, the system showed no response at all.

That means he cannot sign in for now.

"What's going on? Could it be that the Immortal Treasure Hall does not belong to a special place?" Lu Zhangsheng saw this, and his previously full of anticipation was instantly extinguished, leaving him disinterested.

The Immortal Treasure Hall, its name sounds rather extraordinary, yet who would have known it would turn out like this.

He still cannot be too early to rejoice; he felt rather helpless.

Could it be that we must wait until I am born?

Then go searching one by one for those special places? Lu Zhangsheng calculated.

It is less than five months until his birth.

So far he has only signed in twice, receiving two rewards.

Although, speaking of it, whether it is the Primordial Dao Fetus or the Supplementary Heaven Immortal Scripture.

Both belong to the sole destiny of the present era.

But Lu Zhangsheng thinks that being able to come a few more times is always good.

However.

It's also the system's fault.

Regarding the so‑called special places.

There is no standard at all; even if one is born and goes looking, it would be troublesome.

"Take it slow," Lu Zhangsheng sighed, stopped pondering, and calmly observed the outside world.

"Purple Fairy, ahead is the Treasure‑Dividing Heaven Rock."

At this moment, Qingyun Daoist spoke.

Purple Fairy and Jin Hui Laolao immediately looked forward.

At this moment, they stood on a clearing.

Not far away, a massive cliff rose.

The sheer cliff towered, reaching ten thousand zhang, piercing the clouds, covered with dense intricate patterns.

Moreover, a breath that seemed to come from primeval wilderness constantly swept over; a person standing there felt as tiny as an ant.

It was obvious.

The cliff ahead.

Is, according to legend, the first marvel of the Xuanhuang Great World, the Treasure‑Dividing Heaven Rock.

Yet clearly, when they came earlier, they did not see this cliff.

But after walking in and approaching, it appeared before them.

"Truly extraordinary," Purple Fairy mused, beginning to sigh, somewhat trembling; Jin Hui Laolao beside her felt the same, speechless at the cliff.

Qingyun Daoist wore a smile on his face.

The Treasure‑Dividing Heaven Rock is the foundation of the Immortal Treasure Hall.

Not to mention the few people before us, even those of Saint‑master level.

Even the first time they saw it, they would show such shock.

He was quite certain that this object fell from the Immortal Realm in a distant age.

Of course, Qingyun Daoist wouldn't reveal such secrets, lest it sound a bit self‑aggrandizing.

"Why won't you let us pass? There was no such rule before."

"Yeah, does the Xianbao Pavilion do business like that?"

"I must report this to the Master of Qingyun Pavilion."

At that moment, a series of chaotic voices came from afar, full of discontent.

Purple Fairy heard it, turned her head immediately, and saw that beneath Fenbao Heavenly Rock hundreds to thousands of cultivators had gathered.

But they could not approach; all were stopped ten zhang away, unable to move a single step, clearly being barred from passing.

"This is..." Seeing this, she looked at the Master of Qingyun Pavilion with a puzzled gaze.

Xianbao Pavilion specializes in business for cultivators, such as rare treasure pills, techniques, divine abilities, and so on.

It also trades for artifacts obtained from Fenbao Heavenly Rock; as long as the appropriate price is paid, transactions are possible.

Because its prices are fair, its foundation deep, and it offers guarantees, for countless years the Xianbao Pavilion's reputation in this regard has not only won people's trust but also been praised by all major forces of the age and every cultivator.

Otherwise, Purple Fairy wouldn't have come here.

Yet now the Xianbao Pavilion is blocking guests outside, which is indeed puzzling.

"It was indeed not like this before, but today is different; we need to receive two distinguished guests."

Qingyun Daoist smiled and began to explain patiently: "To make things convenient, we can only inconvenience these people."

Hearing this, Purple Fairy was startled; being welcomed and called a distinguished guest by the other side, she considered herself one of them.

And the other guest? Certainly not Jin Hui Laolao; even if she came alone, she wouldn't receive such treatment from Qingyun Daoist.

"Hey, isn't this the former saintess of Taiyi Sacred Land, Ziyun Zi Fairy?"

"Not seen for centuries; never thought we'd meet again today."

At that moment, a voice laced with mockery and surprise came from behind.

Purple Fairy had just been speculating who the other distinguished guest mentioned by Qingyun Daoist was.

But upon hearing those words, her gaze instantly changed.

Her complexion also began to look somewhat unpleasant.

Because from that voice.

She already knew who it was, and immediately turned her head.

Not far away, a palace‑clad woman appeared, her beauty stunning.

The woman looked dignified and noble, exuding an aloof aura; especially her phoenix‑like eyes carried an overbearing air, and she was now staring straight toward them.

The two met each other's gaze, coldness flashing in their eyes, clearly ready for a clash.

Beside them, Jin Hui Laolao saw this and couldn't help feeling puzzled.

Although they hadn't interacted long, she already knew the temperament of her own Holy Mother.

She is generous, humble, never seeks trouble, and is extremely courteous to everyone.

But the current reaction was beyond her expectations.

So.

What exactly is the identity of that palace‑clad woman? Please upvote, please continue reading!
