"Emperor Jiang is my junior brother?"
Nine Nether was initially taken aback, then immediately asked, "Is he a disciple Master accepted before ascending? How come I've never heard about this?"
"He came after you, that's all you need to know." Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly, "Before you, there's also a senior brother specialized in Demon Subduing, but for tens of thousands of years, he hasn't broken the seal and has been waiting in the Cultivation Realm for me."
"A Demon Subduing Senior Brother?" Nine Nether's eyes widened in shock, "He hasn't ascended in tens of thousands of years!"
"..." Wang Chongtian and the three Elders were already paralyzed with fear, their bodies completely still.
The ancestor before them was terrifying beyond belief.
None of them had expected that Gu Chenfeng had accepted disciples before Nine Nether.
And it was tens of thousands of years ago.
Tens of thousands of years ago, Nine Nether hadn't even been born yet.
After recovering from the shock, Nine Nether quickly asked, "Master, where is the Demon Subduing Senior Brother now?"
Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly, "In the Medicine God Hall, which is also a power I established."
"The Medicine God Hall is also the ancestor's?" Wang Chongtian and the three Elders exclaimed in unison, their eyes almost popping out.
"That's correct." Gu Chenfeng replied with a faint smile, "However, in terms of current strength, the Medicine God Hall still has quite a gap compared to the Taiyi Divine Hall."
Although there aren't many people in the Taiyi Divine Hall, even the disciples with the lowest cultivation have reached the Integration Stage realm.
Though Wang Chongtian is the Vice Hall Master, having cultivated in the Taiyi Divine Hall for many years, his cultivation has already reached the pinnacle of the Late Stage of Half-Immortal.
The three Elders' cultivation has also reached the Late Stage of Half-Immortal.
If the four of them combined their forces, they might be able to contend with the Demon Subduing senior.
Besides that,
the Taiyi Divine Hall also has quite a few Demi-Immortals and Mahayana Stage experts. As for the Tribulation Stage and Divinity Transformation Stage, those need not even be mentioned.
The strength of the Taiyi Divine Hall is formidable enough to sweep across the entire Cultivation Realm.
Nine Nether frowned and asked, "Master, do you know how to descend to the Lower Realm?"
Gu Chenfeng chuckled, "Why? You want to descend?"
"Yes!" Nine Nether clenched her fists fiercely, "I absolutely cannot allow there to be traitors in the Divine Hall, I must eliminate the Taiyi Immortal Sect completely! And that person from the Immortal Realm, I will not let him off!"
"But secretly descending to the Lower Realm bears extremely severe consequences. If discovered, you would face harsh punishment and might even have your cultivation abolished."
Nine Nether had finally ascended to the Immortal Realm, her cultivation reaching the Late Stage of Immortal King, and she wasn't willing to risk having her cultivation abolished.
"There's a way for you to descend," Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly, "But you need to ascertain his background first. To reach the Lower Realm, his supporting forces must not be weak."
"Besides, you do indeed need to come to the Lower Realm. In the battle between the Medicine God Hall and the Soul-Devouring Sect, the Demon Monarch struck, and after being heavily injured by the Demon Subduing senior, he was rescued by someone from the Demon Realm."
"The Demon Realm?" Nine Nether's face drastically changed, then she said, "After ascending to the Immortal Realm, I heard of the Demon Realm's existence but have never encountered anyone from there."
Gu Chenfeng said with some gravity, "In this upcoming war between humans and demons, those from the Demon Realm will likely make moves in the shadows, though not too flagrantly, as they also fear alarming the Immortal Realm."
"However, if we aren't prepared, the Cultivation Realm will undoubtedly be besieged by the Demon Race, and those few Ancient Sects alone likely won't be enough to withstand the current Demon Race."
Nine Nether furrowed her brows, "Given that the Demon Realm will intervene, this is all the more reason for me to descend."
Gu Chenfeng added solemnly, "First, send someone to investigate the Immortal sect behind the Taiyi Immortal Sect. If their backing is strong, the Taiyi Divine Hall in the Immortal Realm could be in danger."
"Ancestor, I will immediately dispatch someone to investigate," Wang Chongtian respectfully said and then formed a Sword Point sign to relay orders.
Nine Nether impatiently asked, "Master, what method can allow me to descend?"
Gu Chenfeng chuckled lightly, "You should go to the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion in the Infinite Immortal Realm; the Immortal Mansion might have a way to bring you down."
"What? The Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion?" Nine Nether's face abruptly changed.
Taking a deep breath, Nine Nether was utterly astonished, "Master, that's the domain of an Immortal Emperor. Not to mention myself, even an Immortal Monarch has no qualification to set foot in the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion."
"What are you afraid of?" Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly, "Just mention my name when you go, and no one will dare stop you."
"Master, are you sure about this?" Nine Nether asked half-doubtfully, still feeling quite concerned.
The Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion is a dominating force in the Immortal Realm.
Gu Chenfeng smiled gently, "You'll know when you get there."
"Master, I will set off for the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion right away, I'll descend to the Lower Realm very soon." With excitement, Nine Nether left this sentence and her ethereal Golden Body vanished.
Gu Chenfeng slowly stood up, chuckling, "When I'm sure the Taiyi Divine Hall has no relation to the Taiyi Immortal Sect, I can return at ease. If there's any problem, send someone to find me at the Medicine God Hall."
Wang Chongtian quickly inquired, "Are you leaving so soon, Ancestor? Won't you stay a few more days?"
Gu Chenfeng replied with a faint smile, "I have important matters to attend to."
An Elder respectfully asked, "Ancestor, should we have someone keep an eye on the Taiyi Immortal Sect?"
"There's no need." As Gu Chenfeng walked out of the main hall, he shook his head, "The Taiyi Immortal Sect poses no threat; just find out the Immortal's background and let me know."
Outside the main hall.
The people of the Taiyi Divine Hall observed Gu Chenfeng's emergence, their demeanor instantly turning respectful.
Gu Chenfeng ascended slowly, addressing the crowd sternly, "With a great war looming, everyone must be prepared. From today, the Taiyi Divine Hall will emerge, and disciples may roam freely in the Cultivation Realm, but they must not misuse their power to bully or oppress the weak."
"The Medicine God Hall, Artifact Refining Pavilion, Ancient Divine Sect, Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association, Su Family, Carefree Valley, Celestial Pavilion, and Yin Yang Family are all our own people."
As his words fell, Gu Chenfeng's figure flicked out of sight.
"Farewell, Ancestor!" Wang Chongtian and the three Elders respectfully saluted.
"Farewell, Ancestor!" The crowd of the Taiyi Divine Hall shouted with reverence, their resounding voices filling the air.
When Gu Chenfeng appeared again, he was already above the outer Taiyi Divine Mountain.
Gu Chenfeng muttered to himself, "Without cultivation reaching the Demi-Immortal Realm, one simply cannot perceive the existence of space. The Taiyi Divine Hall has remained in seclusion for many years, and its power is exceptionally formidable."
"After so many years, the strength of the Flame Soul Sect and Chaos Pavilion must also be incredibly strong; perhaps they have forgotten about this Ancestor."
Gu Chenfeng sighed lightly, then flew off.
This time, Gu Chenfeng's destination was the Fire Spirit Race, with a very clear aim: to seize the Reincarnation Profound Crystal.
The Reincarnation Profound Crystal is the treasured heirloom of the Ice Soul Race, containing extremely pure and vast Ice Attribute Power. Obtaining this treasure might enable Gu Chenfeng to break through to the Tribulation Stage.
However.
After Gu Chenfeng had journeyed some distance from Taiyi Divine Mountain.
A pair of mysterious, illusory giant eyes appeared once again in the void.
"Why do I feel like someone's watching me? Is it an illusion?" Gu Chenfeng frowned, halting as if aware of something, gazing into the void, but he saw nothing.
"Your sense is very sharp indeed." A cold chuckle sounded from behind Gu Chenfeng.
