Chapter 151: The Mysterious Altar
"Spare you?"
Lu Xiaoyao let out a cold laugh.
"Because of you, I actually attacked my own sister and the Holy Lord and the others. If my father weren't so powerful, my sister and the Holy Lord might have died at my hands."
"And then you could have smoothly completed your Possession of me!"
Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao had laid bare his intentions, the Extreme Frost Immortal King's face turned deathly pale.
Just as he was about to continue making excuses, Lu Xunxian struck without warning.
With a mere raise of his hand, the Extreme Frost Immortal King was bound in place and dragged through the air before Lu Xunxian.
"Spare me, Senior! Spare me, Senior!"
The Extreme Frost Immortal King was still begging for his life, but Lu Xunxian didn't say a word. With a raise of his hand, he refined the Extreme Frost Immortal King and split the result into five portions.
"These are the Extreme Frost Immortal King's insights. I'll leave them to you all now."
"Although the Extreme Frost Immortal King has perished, before his death he had genuinely broken through to the Immortal Monarch Realm."
While refining the Extreme Frost Immortal King into inheritances, Lu Xunxian had glimpsed his memories.
Though the Extreme Frost Immortal King had weathered the Immortal Monarch Lightning Tribulation and become an Immortal Monarch, his True Spirit had been nearly completely destroyed in his battle against those several Peak Immortal Kings. That was why he had created the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm.
On one hand, it was to conceal himself so his remaining enemies couldn't find him.
On the other, it was to lure in talented prodigies and find a suitable vessel for Possession.
What he never expected was to attract a monster like Lu Xiaoyao instead.
Staring at the inheritances before them, shimmering with an alluring glow, Ye Wushuang and Gu Feng couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Senior, these are far too precious. Can we really accept them?"
"You don't want them? If you don't, I'll just give them to someone else."
"We do! We want them!"
Seeing that Lu Xunxian was about to take them back, the two stopped holding back and accepted the Extreme Frost Immortal King's inheritances.
After receiving the inheritances, the two began refining them right there within the Inheritance Secret Realm.
Lu Xunxian then turned his gaze to Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun.
Lu Xiaoyao's face still carried a trace of self-reproach. After all, he was the older brother, yet he had actually attacked his own sister--even if it was because the Extreme Frost Immortal King had manipulated him.
Lu Xunxian naturally noticed this and stepped forward, patting Lu Xiaoyao on the shoulder.
"You already did well. You just need to keep tempering your Divine Soul so that next time, you won't be affected."
"Mm, big brother, you already did really well."
Lu Qingyun also stepped forward to console him.
Hearing their words, Lu Xiaoyao finally felt a bit better, though he simultaneously resolved in his heart that once they left this place, he would devote himself to cultivating his Divine Soul. Next time, he absolutely would not allow such tricks to succeed again.
"Alright, what's standing before you right now is just my avatar. I have some matters to attend to in the Thirty-Three Heavens, so I'll be going first."
With that, Lu Xunxian's avatar vanished from sight.
Off to the side, Luo Qianxue opened her mouth as if to speak, then stopped herself. There were things she wanted to say to Lu Xunxian, but he simply hadn't given her the chance.
"Forget it... next time, then."
Luo Qianxue thought to herself.
After Lu Xunxian's departure, Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun also began refining their inheritances. Seeing this, Luo Qianxue could only follow suit, hoping to finish refining the Extreme Frost Immortal King's inheritance before the Secret Realm closed.
Meanwhile, Lu Xunxian's avatar had not actually left. Instead, it descended beneath the Inheritance Secret Realm.
Below the Inheritance Secret Realm lay an enormous altar. The blood qi from the earlier battle between Saint Emperors was being absorbed by the altar as it churned with activity.
Gazing at the altar, Lu Xunxian's expression grew somewhat grave.
From the Extreme Frost Immortal King's memories, he knew this altar was no ordinary object. It was precisely because of this altar's aid that the Extreme Frost Immortal King had been able to cultivate to the Peak of the Immortal King Realm in such a short time.
But the most critical point was that even Lu Xunxian couldn't see through this altar. He could only sense that its Karma did not belong to the Immortal Realm.
"A creation from the Dao Realm, perhaps? Forget it--I'll put it away for now."
Lu Xunxian shook his head lightly, then stored the altar away.
Only after completing all of this did Lu Xunxian leave the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm, his consciousness returning to Heavenly Dao Mountain.
And all of this had gone completely unnoticed--even by Gu Daoshi.
Inside the Qingfeng Sacred Land, on the Tiansheng Continent.
"Grand Elder, we haven't been able to find any information on the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of those two Sacred Lands. However, according to rumors, they appeared out of nowhere."
The Qingfeng Sacred Land's scout reported, standing before Ren Tianfeng.
Ren Tianfeng's expression was dark. He waved a hand to dismiss the scout, then turned his gaze toward Chengtian Province and murmured.
"I didn't expect those two Sacred Lands to have hidden their Holy Son and Holy Maiden so deeply that even the Tianji Pavilion has no information on them."
By this point, Ren Tianfeng had already visited the Tianji Pavilion, but unfortunately, even the Tianji Pavilion--which boasted of knowing everything--had not a shred of intelligence regarding the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of the Primordial Sacred Land and the Ancient Wood Sacred Land.
After some deliberation, Ren Tianfeng quickly formulated a plan.
He decided to report to the Main Sect in the Upper Realm and have them take action.
If the Main Sect in the Upper Realm learned that Feng Qingyu had two children with such extraordinary talent, they would likely spare no cost to seize them from those two Sacred Lands.
He wasted no time. Soon, Ren Tianfeng had Lin Changkong bring Feng Qingyu before him. After all, if it were true, it was only natural to consult the opinion of Feng Qingyu, the birth mother.
Upon hearing the plan, Feng Qingyu naturally had no objections and nodded in agreement.
Before long, all the Saint Emperor Patriarchs within the Sacred Land were summoned before Ren Tianfeng.
"Esteemed Patriarchs, there is a matter I need to communicate to the Main Sect in the Upper Realm. If this succeeds, it will absolutely allow our Qingfeng Sacred Land to surpass the other four Sacred Lands in one stroke and become the undisputed hegemon of the Tiansheng Continent!"
Hearing Ren Tianfeng's rousing words, every Saint Emperor present felt a surge of excitement. With their combined aid, the Transmission Array was activated once more.
Before long, Ren Tianfeng's Divine Soul was transmitted to the Main Sect in the Upper Realm.
At that moment, Hu Pogu was troubled. The deaths of his two disciples had yet to be avenged, leaving him in no mood for cultivation.
It just so happened that Ren Tianfeng's Divine Soul arrived at that time. Hu Pogu could only hope it would bring some good news.
"Greetings, Elder Hu."
Seeing Hu Pogu appear before him, Ren Tianfeng hastily cupped his fists and spoke with respect.
Hu Pogu merely waved his hand dismissively, then asked.
"Is there something urgent you've come to report?"
"In reply to Elder Hu, I do indeed have an important matter to report."
When it came to the matter at hand, Ren Tianfeng's expression turned serious as well, and he quickly laid out the situation in full detail.
Upon learning that those two individuals might be the children of a Qingfeng Sect disciple, Hu Pogu was first stunned, then wild joy bloomed across his face.
"Hahaha! This truly is tremendous news!"
"If we can bring those two into our Qingfeng Sect, it will absolutely elevate us to a whole new level!"
"I'll assign an Immortal King Elder to fully assist you. You must bring them into our Qingfeng Sect."
But just then, Ren Tianfeng hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back. In the end, he couldn't help but say it.
"However, at this point it's merely that disciple's speculation, based on the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of those two Sacred Lands bearing a strong resemblance to her children."
Hu Pogu: ???
"The reason I've come this time is to implore Elder Hu to visit the Tianji Pavilion and purchase information on the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of those two Sacred Lands. If we can learn their true names, we'll have far greater certainty."
Ren Tianfeng hurriedly explained.
The wild joy on Hu Pogu's face was replaced by solemnity. After a long pause, he finally spoke.
"I understand the situation. Go back for now."
"Yes, sir."
