章 1456: Return to the Immortal Insect Valley, Meeting an Old Acquaintance (Part 1)

"Immortal Insect Valley…"

Standing within a chamber suffused with the fragrance of medicinal herbs, Jiang Chengxuan softly read aloud the information on the jade slip in his hand.

His expression carried a trace of surprise as his brow furrowed slightly.

The three words, relayed from the Reclusive Immortal Alliance's intelligence network, instantly drew his thoughts back to a time thousands of years ago.

Back then, he and Shen Ruyan had only recently reunited in the Xuanming Immortal Domain. His cultivation had merely been at the peak of the True Immortal realm, and he was in the process of seeking an opportunity to break through to the Celestial Immortal stage.

To that end, he had accepted an invitation to attend the Myriad Treasures Gathering held by the Tianlong Merchant Guild in the Central Continent, hoping to exchange for the materials he needed to advance.
