"Where exactly does this map come from?"
Everyone's eyes were on Luo Ming and Hong Xuan.
Hong Xuan articulated each word clearly, saying, "To report to the Saint Master and fellow daoists, this map comes from the hand of a reclusive figure of unrivaled prowess!"
"He is the one who, just a few days ago, used a Great Sun Taoist Map to obliterate the existence of the Lihuo Demon Venerable!"
On hearing this, all those in the great hall gasped in shock!
"To obliterate the existence of a Demon Venerable!"
"No wonder, no wonder... An existence that surpasses a Supreme, only that senior could have such boldness..."
"He was actually able to draw the Wan Shan Ju Long Tu, it seems, we have all underestimated him!"
The crowd began discussing among themselves.
The Spirit Transcendence Venerable's expression grew even graver, saying, "Looking at it now, there must be great secrets hidden within the Cangli Mountain Range, for Supremes who enter there have only to either barely survive to ascend to the path of immortality and depart, or they face a certain death with no way out... Could that senior actually come from within the Cangli Mountain Range?"
He posed each question deliberately, "Could this senior be an Immortal?!"
Could he be an Immortal!
The faces of everyone present were filled with complex expressions.
To be an Immortal, throughout the entire Xuantian Realm, even over a thousand years, it is rare to encounter even one.
Moreover, once one becomes an Immortal, one can ascend to the Immortal Domain and will not remain in the world for long; hence, many Immortals only have a brief opportunity to leave behind their heritage in Holy Lands before they depart.
Therefore, it can be said, the Xuantian Realm today is a place where Supremes are revered!
If an Immortal truly has appeared, then whoever it may be, they must pay great attention!
It could very well be an event that affects the entire Xuantian Realm.
Upon hearing this, both Hong Xuan and Luo Ming showed a hint of self-mockery on their faces.
"At first, we also thought that this senior might be an Immortal."
Luo Ming spoke up, saying, "But in reality, it seems that this senior's strength is definitely above that of an Immortal!"
"Because, even the messenger of the Evil God, a Supreme Demon General, when burning his Demon Soul to unleash Immortal-level power, failed to breach that senior's dwelling together with another, even when they joined forces."
"Merely that senior's dwelling has the power to kill an Immortal!"
Hiss!
The crowd in the hall collectively inhaled sharply.
An existence that surpasses Immortals!
Isn't that too terrifying?
"It's hard to imagine... what kind of background this might be..."
"Above the Immortals, when did such an existence appear in our Xuantian Realm?"
"Could it be one of the legendary Earthly Immortals who have always remained in the mortal world?"
The crowd was full of questions and doubts!
Hong Xuan shook his head, saying, "This senior is very likely a powerful being from the Immortal Domain!"
"Because... he has a Pantao Tree!"
He has a Pantao Tree!
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with an astonishing numbness!
The Pantao Tree...
That is an Immortal Seed, only seen in the Immortal Domain...
Now, someone has actually planted it in the mortal world?
"It seems, this truly is a powerful Immortal from the Lower World!"
The Spirit Transcendence Venerable spoke with utmost seriousness, "Only this could explain this painting..."
The Primordial Yang Venerable nodded, saying, "With this in mind, it seems this Immortal could be plotting for the entire Cangli Mountain Range!"
"He bestows the Dao Map... what exactly does he want to do?"
Everyone was speculating.
```
"Two Saint Masters, fellow Daoists,"
At this time, Luo Ming continued to speak, "In my view, this senior certainly did not lack strategies. Since he has bestowed upon us the Dao Map of the Cangli Mountain Range, it must be to facilitate our entry into it!"
"This also means that the great anomaly of the Cangli Mountain Range is very likely about to occur."
Listening to Luo Ming's words, everyone's expressions turned solemn.
This could be the only explanation!
Just at that moment, outside the Taiyan Holy Land, a rainbow light almost at the Supreme level approached rapidly and finally stopped. The arrival was an elder who spoke loudly,
"Report to the Saint Master quickly, the Cangli Mountain Range, the earth splits open, the mountains collapse, anomalies abound, and something undetectable has emerged!"
This was a Sub-Honored level figure of the Taiyan Holy Land, who had been keeping watch over the Cangli Mountain Range. Upon receiving the news, he came to report at the fastest speed!
His voice reverberated throughout the Taiyan Holy Land.
Within the ancient bronze hall, where the eight Supremes were in closed-door discussion, all their faces changed upon hearing the news!
They all looked towards Luo Ming in unison, their eyes filled with a complex and indecipherable light!
He had been right; something indeed had happened to the Cangli Mountain Range!
"It seems that everything truly was in that senior's calculations. We just obtained the Dao Map, and the Cangli Mountain Range has begun to split open, with something emerging..."
Spirit Transcendence Venerable's old eyes held some disbelief, as the calculations were too precise!
What existence could it be?
"Quickly put away the Dao Map! We must activate the great formation."
Primordial Yang Venerable reminded.
Now, with the anomaly having occurred, the two great Holy Lands could not remain indifferent.
Luo Ming Supreme swiftly put away the Wan Shan Ju Long Tu.
"Saint Master, what should we do now?"
A Supreme asked.
"The Cangli Mountain Range is a matter that concerns the entire Xuantian Realm. We, located in the Southern Territory, are the first to be affected and cannot shirk our responsibility!"
Primordial Yang Venerable spoke gravely, "Originally, to face all of this, even with the current power of our two Holy Lands, we would probably be somewhat strained. But now, since there is an Immortal strategizing behind the scenes, perhaps we have a chance..."
"Saint Master, how can you be sure that this senior from the Immortal Domain has good intentions and isn't just trying to use us?"
A Supreme couldn't help but speak up.
Primordial Yang Venerable chuckled self-deprecatingly, "For two reasons. First, to the strong ones above the Immortals of the Immortal Domain, although we are all Supremes, I fear we are nothing more than ants, with no value to be exploited!"
"Secondly, facing the anomaly within the Cangli Mountain Range, we have no choice but to follow this senior's calculations."
"Moreover, I feel that this senior must have good intentions; otherwise, he would not have bestowed the Enlightenment Tea, which is hard even for Immortals to obtain, on Hong Xuan and Luo Ming to continue their broken path to Supreme!"
He glanced at Luo Ming and Hong Xuan, "Therefore, I believe this senior!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Luo Ming and Hong Xuan nodded even more, their eyes showing admiration, "That senior is extraordinary and transcendent, certainly not of a wicked nature; he is worth trusting!"
Having only met him once, they were already convinced by the senior's demeanor.
"Good, if that is the case, then let us take action!"
Spirit Transcendence Venerable finally said, "We will immediately organize a team to explore the Cangli Mountain Range, and at the same time, send out messages to the Central Province, Northern Border, Eastern Wilderness, and Western Desert regions!"
"This matter is significant; it's absolutely not something our Southern Territory can withstand alone!"
Everyone nodded gravely.
"Additionally, we should also contact our ancestors in the Immortal Domain... This matter is too great, especially as it involves beings from above the Immortal Domain!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions grew even more solemn.
...
That day, the Southern Territory was shaken!
The Cangli Mountain Range experienced a massive tremor, the land split open, the mountains collapsed... Countless mystical beasts fled from within, once again impacting the surrounding nations!
Above the Cangli Mountain Range, there were even more wonders whose myriad dark clouds spanned the sky, with numerous demonic shadows howling... The entire Southern Territory was in an uproar!
Utterly in an uproar!
