Above the Mount Taicang mountain range.
Countless divine rainbows tore through the air from all directions. Cultivators, riding various Magic Treasures and Flying Swords, weaved and patrolled among the mountains, attempting to locate the source of the Immortal light.
As time went on, friction and conflict between Cultivators also increased daily, as they vied for heavenly materials or potential clues. The clang of Sword Light and Magic Treasures, along with angry shouts, echoed through the mountains from time to time.
As the acknowledged top Sect in Great Xia, Shenxuan Sect naturally dispatched its Disciples to investigate.
Among them were Lu Fan and Lin Potian.
Both had obtained great Opportunities in the Azure Dragon Immortal Abode, and their cultivation had now reached the peak of Nascent Soul, just one Breakthrough away from the Returning to Void Realm.
With the Immortal Abode about to close, they were unwilling to continue their secluded cultivation and decided to venture out together for practical experience, seeking an Opportunity to Break through their Realm.
Coincidentally, they encountered the emergence of this Immortal Abode.
At this moment, the two stood on a mountain cliff with an open view, gazing at the faintly discernible, ethereal Immortal light in the sky.
"This Immortal light is causing such a commotion, but it's like looking at flowers through a fog, difficult to grasp…"
Lin Potian frowned slightly, a hint of confusion on his face.
"Senior Brother Zhou, what are your thoughts?"
He turned his head to look at an unremarkable-looking Disciple.
The other party was a Returning Void Cultivator and should understand more than him.
As for Lin Potian… it was better not to ask.
Zhou Li pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
However, he was secretly astonished in his heart.
He had cultivated a pupil technique that had always been effective, helping him resolve many dangers, but this time he could not discern its origin at all.
He must continue to develop it in the future; he never fought a battle he wasn't confident in winning.
Just then, the voice of the Demon Venerable, which had been silent for a long time in Lu Fan's mind, suddenly rang out, carrying an unprecedented solemnity and urgency.
"Lu brat, this Legacy has not truly emerged yet, which is why you all find it hard to trace."
"But this place… from this Venerable's observation of its aura, it is highly likely to be the true Legacy of an Immortal."
"This is a great Opportunity related to Immortal Ascension. Quickly inform the Shenxuan Sect; this is not something a Nascent Soul junior like you can get involved in. Once the Legacy appears, this place will surely turn into a slaughterhouse."
"Immortal Legacy?!"
Lu Fan's mind was greatly shaken, and his expression instantly became solemn.
In recent years, news of various Immortal Caves and ruins emerging had been endless, but those truly related to the word "Immortal" were few and far between.
A Legacy left behind by a Combination Realm grand power was enough to make countless Cultivators fight to the death, let alone a true Immortal Opportunity?
If the news was true, it would be enough to make Tribulation Transcendence Realm powerhouses fight to the death.
At that time, Nascent Soul cultivators like him probably wouldn't even qualify as cannon fodder, and perhaps… even those legendary Ascension Realm Old Ancestors might be alarmed.
Thinking of the dangers involved, Lu Fan dared not delay in the slightest. He immediately used the Sect's secret method to urgently transmit the news of this place and the Demon Venerable's speculation to his Master.
...
Upon learning that it was an Immortal Legacy, the many high-ranking officials of the Shenxuan Sect immediately began discussions.
Shenxuan Sect, Council Hall.
The atmosphere was solemn and grave at this moment.
The hall was filled with strong Cultivators, with several Tribulation Transcendence Realm powerhouses present.
Among them were Heaven Jade Perfected Person, who had returned many years ago, and Perfected Person Qinghe, a Tribulation Transcendence Old Ancestor who had recently returned from overseas.
"Suspected… Immortal Legacy?"
A Tribulation Transcendence Realm Guest Elder's voice was low, his eyes flashing with a difficult-to-believe fervor.
This was an Immortal Opportunity; even many Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators might never encounter one in their entire lives.
Perfected Person Qinghe stroked his long beard, his gaze deep.
"If it truly is an Immortal Opportunity, I fear our Sect cannot monopolize it."
"How about inviting Sword Venerable to take action?"
Another Tribulation Transcendence Realm Guest Elder's eyes gleamed. He had not personally witnessed Han Xuanji take action.
However, he had witnessed him Undergoing Tribulation and knew that he was absolutely a Master of immense cultivation.
Xuan Weizi pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"The news has not been fully confirmed yet; it is not appropriate to disturb this eminent person."
"The most pressing matter is to quickly confirm what kind of Legacy is in the Mount Taicang mountain range."
He turned his gaze to Heaven Jade Perfected Person: "Heaven Jade Old Ancestor, you hail from Cangzhou and are most familiar with this place. How about you lead a few Guest Elders to investigate?"
Heaven Jade Perfected Person nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Soon.
The Shenxuan Sect dispatched four Tribulation Transcendence powerhouses to Cangzhou.
With the speed of Tribulation Transcendence Realm powerhouses, they arrived at the Mount Taicang mountain range in moments.
Such a commotion immediately startled many people.
"The Shenxuan Sect actually sent four Tribulation Transcendence powerhouses. It seems they are confident in taking over this place."
"It really is an Immortal Opportunity. I also saw a Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse arrive the day before yesterday."
"Alas, as expected, this kind of Opportunity has nothing to do with us Loose Cultivators."
...
The few people sensed this ethereal aura.
They also confirmed that this place was definitely not a fake.
Perfected Person Qinghe turned his gaze to a young man dressed in a green robe with a refined temperament, who was seated below him:
"Junior Brother Heaven Jade, you are from Cangzhou and are most familiar with the local history. Do you have any insights?"
Heaven Jade Perfected Person pondered deeply, then slowly raised his head, his face showing an unprecedented solemnity.
He closed his eyes for a moment, seemingly recalling ancient records.
Finally, he opened his eyes, a hint of realization and shock flashing within them:
"Fellow Daoists."
Heaven Jade Perfected Person's voice carried a subtle tremor,
"If my guess is not wrong, what is about to emerge from Mount Taicang is very likely the Immortal Cave of the legendary Green Lotus Sword Immortal!"
"Green Lotus Sword Immortal?!"
The few people present were simultaneously moved, even the two overseas Guest Elders showed surprise.
Beings bestowed with the title of Sword Immortal were all Sword Dao grand powers above the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
Heaven Jade Perfected Person took a deep breath, his tone becoming even more certain:
"Ten thousand years ago, there was indeed a peerless Sword Immortal named 'Green Lotus' who came from beyond the heavens. He slayed demons and purged evil in this Realm for a thousand years, cleansing the world and accumulating immeasurable Karma!
His Ascension place was precisely in Cangzhou. When he Ascended, the Immortal light shone for ten thousand li, and sword cries echoed through the nine heavens. All living beings within a ten-thousand-li radius benefited from him!
To this day, many mortal families in Cangzhou still worship the memorial tablet of 'Green Lotus Sword Immortal,' with incense burning continuously!"
His words were like a thunderclap.
Everyone's breathing involuntarily quickened a few beats.
If it was truly so, that would be an extraordinary Opportunity.
Moreover, Legacies left by such great Cultivators of the Righteous Path generally wouldn't be too dangerous.
If it were left by a demonic Cultivator, they would still have to worry about whether there were any tricks inside.
...
Shenxuan Sect, ten thousand li away.
Han Xuanji also received news from Heaven Jade Perfected Person and others, learning that an Immortal Immortal Cave had emerged.
This even attracted him.
"If it truly is an exiled Immortal Legacy… perhaps I can find a Legacy regarding Sword Intent becoming a Domain."
Han Xuanji thought to himself.
His current Sword Dao Realm had already reached the pinnacle of Sword Intent becoming a Domain, but advancing further always felt like something was missing.
If he could obtain the other party's Legacy, it wouldn't be bad.
Even if he couldn't directly step into a higher Realm, he would still gain some benefits.
However, since the Legacy had not yet emerged, Han Xuanji was not in a hurry to go there.
Some three-star sign-in locations within the Sect and the Azure Dragon Immortal Abode could still be signed in at.
Although there might not be anything good, it was better than nothing.
