371: The lucky old man in blue robes
"Hmph, pay attention next time. We are here on a mission, not for you to flaunt your superiority as an Immortal before mortals," the Handsome Youth scolded, reprimanding him without mercy.
"Hehe, Brother Cai is right to teach me a lesson. I will certainly pay attention, I will certainly pay attention." Seeing that the Handsome Youth was no longer pursuing the matter, the Round-faced Youth quickly offered a placating smile.
"Hiss, Im... Immortals?" Hearing the conversation between the Round-faced Youth and the Handsome Youth, the Blue-Robed Elder, frozen in the void, looked utterly horrified.
Although he knew the three were definitely not ordinary people, he never imagined they were the legendary Immortals.
One must know that ever since the three Immortals who descended to the lower realm perished 100,000 years ago, and after the immortal path was destroyed, no Immortal had ever descended again.
The fact that Immortals have now descended is truly shocking.
"Immortals have descended! We are saved! We no longer have to live in fear and hide," the Blue-Robed Elder murmured, regaining his senses and feeling incredibly excited.
Since there are now three Immortals who have descended, they absolutely do not need to hide in their own small spaces anymore.
After all, as long as these three Immortals cast a seal to seal the World Passage, the Demon Race outside the world will not be able to enter for a short period.
And the fact that these three Immortals were able to descend means that they have a way to return to the Immortal Realm.
As long as they can obtain the method to return to the Immortal Realm from these three Immortals, they can go to the Immortal Realm and no longer have to stay in the Mortal Realm, facing those terrifying Demon Race members.
Seeing that the Round-faced Youth had a good attitude.
The Handsome Youth did not continue to dwell on the matter, but instead focused his gaze on the excited Blue-Robed Elder outside the immortal path.
"Which power in this world do you belong to? Do you know of a power called Xuantian Holy Land?" the Handsome Youth asked the Blue-Robed Elder indifferently.
The main purpose of the Celestial Emperor sending them down this time was to find the Xuantian Holy Land, see if it still existed, and only then resist the Demon Race.
Therefore, their primary mission was to find the Xuantian Holy Land. If the Xuantian Holy Land was gone, they wouldn't care about the lives of the people of the Xuantian World.
"Ah? Xuantian Holy Land?"
Facing the Handsome Youth's inquiry, the Blue-Robed Elder regained his senses and immediately searched his mind for information regarding the Xuantian Holy Land.
Although the Xuantian World previously had many continents, there were only about a hundred or so Peak Great Emperor Experts.
Therefore, he had met the Old Ancestor of the Xuantian Holy Land a few times and knew that the Xuantian Holy Land existed as a power.
Having found the information about the Xuantian Holy Land.
The Blue-Robed Elder flew in front of the three Immortals, his face wreathed in smiles, bowing and scraping as he said, "Replying to the Immortals, this humble one belongs to the Cangyan Sect. This humble one knows of the Xuantian Holy Land; it was originally on a continent in our world called the Canglan Continent."
"It's just that recently, for some unknown reason, all the continents merged into one, and this humble one doesn't know where the Xuantian Holy Land is located right now."
"If the Immortals need to find the Xuantian Holy Land, this humble one is willing to search for it on your behalf?"
After the Blue-Robed Elder finished speaking, he looked at the Handsome Youth and the others with a fawning expression.
As long as the Handsome Youth and the others gave the word, he would descend from the void without hesitation to look for the Xuantian Holy Land.
After all, as long as he could curry favor with the Handsome Youth and these three Immortals, it would be easier for him to obtain the method to go to the Immortal Realm.
Therefore, he would not miss any opportunity to please the three of them.
"Oh, the Xuantian Holy Land is still there?" Hearing the Blue-Robed Elder's words, the Handsome Youth's face broke into an excited smile.
The Round-faced Youth and the other True Immortal were also very excited upon hearing this.
Originally, with 100,000 years having passed, they hadn't held much hope that the Xuantian Holy Land still existed; even the Celestial Emperor himself didn't have high hopes.
After all, 100,000 years can change many things. Even if the Xuantian Holy Land was very strong 100,000 years ago, it might have been destroyed in the long river of time after 100,000 years of change.
Now that they heard the Blue-Robed Elder say the Xuantian Holy Land was still around, they couldn't remain calm.
Because as long as they protected the Xuantian Holy Land well, returning to the Immortal Realm would certainly be a great meritorious deed, and soaring to success would be just around the corner.
After a moment of excitement, the three quickly calmed their emotions.
At this moment, the Handsome Youth glanced at the fawning Blue-Robed Elder, revealing a faint smile and saying, "Since you are familiar with the Xuantian Holy Land, then go find its location for us three Immortals. We three Immortals must now go to the World Passage to set up seals and Killing Formations."
"As soon as you find the Xuantian Holy Land, immediately bring their person-in-charge to the World Passage to meet us Immortals."
Originally, with the strength of the three of them, they absolutely did not need an ant of the Great Emperor Realm to help them find the Xuantian Holy Land.
But since the Xuantian Holy Land still exists, their main task has become resisting the Demon Race and protecting the continent where the Xuantian Holy Land is located from being destroyed by the Demon Race.
100,000 years ago, three True Immortals perished in this Mortal Realm.
If they don't set up the defenses properly, let alone achieving a great meritorious deed, they might even lose their lives here.
"Yes, yes, Immortals, please go ahead with peace of mind. This humble one will definitely find the Xuantian Holy Land, and then bring the Great Emperors of the Xuantian Holy Land to the World Passage to meet the Immortals."
Hearing that the Handsome Youth was going to the World Passage to set up seals and Killing Formations.
And that he had entrusted the task of finding the Xuantian Holy Land to himself, the Blue-Robed Elder nodded and agreed excitedly.
Now that the World Passage was guarded by three Immortals, and he could run errands for the Immortals to build a relationship, this was simply a double blessing.
"Mm." Looking at the Blue-Robed Elder's obedient manner, the Handsome Youth nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he took dozens of Immortal Crystals from his storage ring, flew in front of the Blue-Robed Elder, and said, "You are very sensible. These Immortal Crystals are your reward. As long as you work diligently for this Immortal, this Immortal will certainly not treat you unfairly."
"Hiss, so many Immortal Crystals?" Seeing the Handsome Youth produce dozens of Immortal Crystals in one go, the Blue-Robed Elder gasped.
One must know that in the tens of thousands of years he had lived, he had gone through countless life-and-death crises and only managed to obtain a few dozen Immortal Crystals.
Now, the Handsome Youth rewarded him with dozens in one go—this happiness came too suddenly.
"What, is it not enough?" Seeing the Blue-Robed Elder staring blankly at the Immortal Crystals, the Handsome Youth asked lightly.
Facing the Handsome Youth's question.
The Blue-Robed Elder instantly recovered, carefully put away the dozens of Immortal Crystals, and then said to the Handsome Youth with a face full of smiles, "Enough, enough! It's just that this humble one has never seen so many Immortal Crystals before, which is why I was distracted. Please forgive me, Immortal."
"Since it's enough, then go." The Handsome Youth waved his hand, signaling the Blue-Robed Elder to go handle the task.
"Yes, Immortal. This humble one will go immediately." The Blue-Robed Elder bowed respectfully to the three Immortals, then flashed and disappeared from the side of the golden immortal path.
Seeing the Blue-Robed Elder leave.
The Handsome Youth said to the Round-faced Youth and the other Silver-Armored Youth, "Brother Meng, Brother He, let's hurry to the World Passage and set up the seals and Killing Formations, striving to eliminate all the Demon Race members who have invaded the Mortal Realm this time."
"Mm, alright." The Round-faced Youth and the other Silver-Armored Youth nodded. The three of them transformed into streaks of light and sped towards the Xuantian World Passage.
Above the New Continent.
The Blue-Robed Elder descended from the void and excitedly chased after the Peak Great Emperors who had left the void not long ago.
Since he had to search for the Xuantian Holy Land, he certainly wouldn't go alone.
After all, the New Continent is so vast; who knows how many days he would waste searching alone. If he made the Immortals wait too long, it would make him look completely incompetent.
Therefore, he planned to mobilize these Great Emperor Experts, asking them to contact all the Great Emperors they could reach on the continent and have them help search for the Xuantian Holy Land together.
"Fellow Daoists, wait! This old man has something to tell you!" As soon as the Blue-Robed Elder saw the backs of these people, he shouted smugly.
He wasn't afraid that these people wouldn't follow orders. As long as he brought up the Immortals and claimed it was the Immortals' command, these people definitely wouldn't dare to disobey.
And as long as these people helped find the Xuantian Holy Land, all the credit would belong to him.
If those Immortals were pleased, him returning to the Immortal Realm with them wouldn't even be an issue.
"Fellow Daoist Qi, what is the matter?" Hearing the Blue-Robed Elder's voice, everyone stopped. One of them, a Green-Robed Elder, turned and asked the Blue-Robed Elder.
Seeing that the Green-Robed Elder had already spoken, the other Peak Great Emperors did not ask further questions but stared at the Blue-Robed Elder with confused expressions, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Seeing that all these Peak Great Emperors had stopped.
The Blue-Robed Elder appeared before them, smiling, and recounted what had just happened on the immortal path.
He then casually informed these few people of the false command that the Immortals wanted everyone to search for the Xuantian Holy Land.
"What! Immortals have descended? Fellow Daoist Qi, are you joking with us?"
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Qi. This isn't a small matter; you shouldn't talk nonsense."
After listening to the Blue-Robed Elder's account, all these Peak Great Emperors looked horrified as they stared at him.
They had also heard the loud noise in the sky earlier.
However, they had only assumed it was the Blue-Robed Elder going crazy in the void, so they hadn't paid much attention.
Now that the Blue-Robed Elder claimed that the noise was caused by Immortals descending, it was truly astonishing.
"Hmph, Fellow Daoists, do I need to lie to you?"
The Blue-Robed Elder's expression turned cold. He directly took out the dozens of Immortal Crystals the Handsome Youth had just rewarded him with from his Storage Space and suspended them in the air for the others to see.
With these dozens of Immortal Crystals as proof, he believed these people would no longer have any doubts.
After all, the largest number of Immortal Crystals they had ever obtained at one time was only a few. Besides true Immortals, it was impossible for anyone to produce dozens of Immortal Crystals at once.
"Hiss, so many Immortal Crystals! No one but an Immortal could produce these. Fellow Daoist Qi is telling the truth!"
"Th-that's right! Only True Immortals can produce so many Immortal Crystals! We are saved!"
Looking at the dozens of Immortal Crystals floating before them, these Peak Great Emperors were both excited and greedy.
The fact that the Blue-Robed Elder produced so many Immortal Crystals proved that he wasn't lying; three Immortals really had descended upon the Xuantian World.
With the protection of these three Immortals, they wouldn't need to hide in small spaces, waiting for the Demon Race to search for them.
However, looking at the dozens of Immortal Crystals before them, they truly had an impulse to kill the Blue-Robed Elder.
If they hadn't considered that the Blue-Robed Elder was carrying the Immortals' command and had contact with the three Immortals.
They would have already teamed up to kill the Blue-Robed Elder and divide the dozens of Immortal Crystals the moment they appeared.
"Heh, Fellow Daoists, what do you think? You should believe my words now, right?" Seeing the greed in their eyes yet their reluctance to act, the Blue-Robed Elder sneered and asked.
The reason he dared to take out these dozens of Immortal Crystals as proof was that he was certain they wouldn't dare to make a move.
After all, the deterrent power of an Immortal was no joke.
"Haha, we believe you, we believe you. Fellow Daoist Qi is truly blessed to be appreciated by an Immortal. Please look after us more in the future, won't you?"
"Exactly, Fellow Daoist Qi. We will go and contact the other fellow Daoists on the continent and ask them to help search for the Xuantian Holy Land. Please put in a good word for us in front of the Immortals!"
Hearing the Blue-Robed Elder's words, these Peak Great Emperors all withdrew the greed from their eyes and began to fawn over the Blue-Robed Elder with beaming smiles.
Now that the Blue-Robed Elder had gotten in touch with the Immortals first and was carrying the Immortals' command, they truly couldn't afford to provoke him.
Even if the Blue-Robed Elder was just a dog in the eyes of those Immortals, he was a dog running errands—not someone that ants like them could afford to offend.
"Easy, easy. As long as you all assist me in finding the Xuantian Holy Land quickly, I will certainly put in a few good words for you when I report back to the Immortals." The Blue-Robed Elder agreed with a smile.
"Hehe, good. We will go and notify the fellow Daoists we know and ask them to help with the search."
"Fellow Daoist Qi, we shall take our leave now. We will contact you once we have news of the Xuantian Holy Land."
Seeing that the Blue-Robed Elder agreed to speak well of them, these Peak Great Emperors clasped their fists, smiled, and took their leave, transforming into streaks of light and flying off in various directions.
They prepared to notify their respective powers and the Great Emperor Experts they knew, asking them to help search for the Xuantian Holy Land together.
Seeing these people leave, the Blue-Robed Elder revealed a mocking smile and continued to chase after the Great Emperor Experts who had not previously ascended the Void immortal path, preparing to use the same trick—the fake Immortal command—to make them help search for the Xuantian Holy Land.
As for the credit after finding the Xuantian Holy Land, it would definitely belong to him alone. As long as he served the Immortals well, even if these people had opinions about him, they wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
As the Blue-Robed Elder caught up to one Great Emperor Expert after another and informed them about the Immortals descending and the search for the Xuantian Holy Land.
These Great Emperor Experts returned to their respective powers and immediately informed their own powers and the Emperor-level powers they knew, asking them to help search for the Xuantian Holy Land.
And as the news of the search for the Xuantian Holy Land spread.
The news of the Immortals descending and the Demon Race being outside the World Passage quickly spread throughout all the Emperor-level powers on the New Continent, causing waves of heated discussion.
