Chapter 1758: Chapter 688: Urgent Preparations

"The fragrant bait is cast into the night sky, fishing for the golden ao from beyond the heavens?" Xuan Tu’s heart chilled, his right hand trembled slightly, the Jade Cup radiating an aroma, spilling a whiff of amber-colored wine.

Kong Yuanxing furrowed his brow deeply and said, "Could it be the means of the legendary strongest figure?"

Xuan Tu said, "In Xuanhuang Martial Hall, only the Ancestor Master of the sect had the courage to do so."

Qin Ming was silent, could there really be such a thing? He was truly unaware.

The supreme figures among the ancients displayed truly terrifying feats.

Qin Ming asked, "Where did that Xuanhuang patriarch ultimately go?"

Xuan Tu informed him, "No matter how strong a creature is, there comes a time when every hero grows old. Ultimately, he walked alone into the deepest part of the Yewu World, burying himself in the Uninhabited Zone, disappearing forever."

Such... disappearance doesn’t necessarily mean demise.

Like the Chairman, the Two Puppets, the Insect Emperor, in the past they were the strongest figures, vanished from the world, sleeping for long centuries, yet capable of resurgence when the time came.

Kong Yuanxing sighed and said, "Your sect’s patriarch... was very brave."

"Is there another hidden story?" Qin Ming asked.

Kong Yuanxing said, "It is said that two years after Xuanhuang’s patriarch disappeared, his protecting path Supreme Treasure—the Xuanhuang Bell—was stained with his dim, lifeless blood, and fell into the inverted giant city in the night sky."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Tu remained very silent.

Qin Ming regretted inwardly; the sage of the past ventured far, intending to find a hint of life and forge a future, yet regrettably, he ultimately did not experience rebirth and ended in tragedy.

He grew increasingly curious, wanting to explore what lay in the deepest part of Yewu World, when his Taoist practices were sufficiently profound, he was determined to venture into that incredibly mysterious region.

However, now was not the time to dwell on these matters.

Qin Ming spoke: "I believe the two brothers have misunderstood, our cultivation is still shallow, how dare we compare ourselves to the sect’s Ancestor Master?"

Xuan Tu’s expression became solemn, "Brother Zheng Guang, please speak."

Kong Yuanxing’s voice was low, "Willing to listen to the details."

No matter if there was resentment in their hearts, at this moment both listened intently, appearing very serious.

Nearby, Si Yeli in snow garments stood gracefully, with a slender hand holding a jade pot, silently collecting her breath and spirit, listening intently.

Qin Ming said, "Given this, I ask that the two of you first make a Tao Oath."

Xuan Tu and Kong Yuanxing frowned, they didn’t know anything yet, but there’s already a restriction. However, so long as they kept their mouths shut, it wouldn’t have any real effect.

Ultimately, the two swore according to the agreement.

Qin Ming looked at Si Yeli, also asked her to make a Tao Oath.

Seeing this, Xuan Tu relaxed a bit, thinking that the relationship between these two wasn’t as close as he imagined.

Si Yeli smiled faintly, showing no displeasure.

Qin Ming spoke, "Brother Kong, you can write a letter now, inviting the strongest figures of the Traveler Civilization to come forth."

As for the present Xuan Tu, no need to consult with him.

Qin Ming had long passed the word to the upper echelons of Xuanhuang Martial Hall through the Old Demon Liuyu.

Kong Yuanxing shook his head, "No, I say, brother, you casually invite such banner-bearing old seniors, how can I write such a note casually?"

Qin Ming said, "Do you still remember the events of several months ago, when the deeper parts of Yewu World were in turmoil, a glowing Qilin Claw stepped out of the night sky, and a Heavenly Immortal went mad and rushed out."

Xuan Tu and Kong Yuanxing both nodded, naturally knowing about this major event.

Si Yeli showed a different expression; back then, she and Qin Ming were in Yao Guang City, they witnessed the terrifying aftermath firsthand.

Qin Ming said, "You two should have channels to inquire, Demon Court, Strange Insect Alliance, Cultivation Civilization, some of the old seniors gained significantly, they once seized the opportunity to fish for a Heavenly Immortal."

"This..." Kong Yuanxing’s face changed.

They, as Great Saints of the Supreme Martial hall, naturally have the privilege to hear such secrets.

About these matters, Qin Ming had learned before parting with the Six Great Saints, from Meng Zhiyu. The Old Dream Worm actively intervened and personally participated in this event.

Qin Ming said, "You say, if it were a similar opportunity, wouldn’t the absolute strongest figures of your dojo be delighted?"

"What, Brother Zheng Guang, your courage is too great! Not wanting to fish for outer heaven Divine Medicine or unclaimed Supreme Treasure materials, but for a decaying Heavenly Immortal?"

Upon learning part of the truth, Kong Yuanxing was truly shocked.

Is this something a Fifth Realm cultivator should be involved in?

Qin Ming said, "No need to say more about other matters, just ask if the old monsters from your dojo are interested or not?"

Without needing to think, upon hearing such a matter, those Elders would surely be tempted.

When disorder broke out in the deeper parts of Yewu World, those old monsters who would go to great lengths for life extension dared to risk their lives, let alone encounter solitary Outer Heaven creatures.

"This..." Si Yeli’s beautiful eyes became deep, her peerless face grew extremely serious, no longer enchanting.

It goes without saying, news like fishing a decaying Heavenly Immortal is so astonishing, it gave the three Great Saints a sense of suffocation, like the storm before it hits.

Qin Ming sought allies widely, primarily due to lacking a sense of security.

After all, people like Niu Wuwei, Zhou Tian, and Mu Shiniang, now to him, were as familiar as could be. If he invited the strong figures behind them, and one of the old men died, he would feel guilty to these sworn brothers.

Therefore, he wished to enlist the help of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, Xuanhuang Martial Hall, Traveler Civilization, etc., expanding the alliance and inviting experts from all around. He simply could not believe someone as fallen as Heavenly Immortal could still create havoc.

In this era, even something of the Eighth Realm must bow to reality, devolving into Earth Immortal. Even if it could look down on the Seventh Realm, mastering various forbidden skills, it would likely not withstand being hunted by many.

To solve the great menace, Qin Ming naturally wished for absolute certainty.

Qin Ming felt his title of Master Zhi Shan was untainted because it was due to his kind heart that he thought of enlisting strong figures from all over, to minimize casualties.

He mused, "In this way, I’m good, you’re good, everyone’s good."
