All under heaven are bustling, all for gain.
All under heaven are in turmoil, all for profit.
Even a Holy Land like the Kunlun Immortal Sect is no exception.
With Purple Sun Old Ancestor personally speaking and Xie Liuyun mobilizing countless of his good brothers, the Kunlun Immortal Sect naturally dared not underestimate this Sword Immortal from Dongcang Province.
At this very moment.
At the Kunlun Immortal Sect mountain gate, on the Cloud Terrace, numerous Immortal Sect Disciples were already neatly arrayed.
Their numbers were no less than several hundred.
These Disciples wore moon-white or light-green Daoist robes, embroidered with Kunlun cloud patterns, each with condensed Aura and extraordinary cultivation.
The weakest among them had Soul Transformation cultivation, and the one leading them was none other than the current Sect Master of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, Real Person Lingyun.
This prominent figure, renowned throughout Zhongzhou, personally arrived to welcome him at this moment.
However, this was also normal.
After all, within the Kunlun Immortal Sect, the Sect Master was not the highest-ranking person, let alone the strongest.
For example, Real Person Lingyun was actually only at the Peak of the ninth level of Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
He wore the Sect Master's jade robe, his face was gaunt, and his eyes were gentle and peaceful, without a hint of oppressive Aura outwardly displayed.
As the Immortal Boat landed smoothly.
Xie Liuyun and Purple Sun Old Ancestor led everyone out.
The moment Han Xuanji stepped out and his figure appeared in everyone's sight.
Real Person Lingyun and the hundreds of Immortal Sect Disciples behind him all shouted loudly:
"Welcome Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal's esteemed presence to Kunlun!"
Hundreds of people shouted in unison, their voices condensed as one, soaring straight into the sky.
If this scene were to spread, it would surely cause a stir throughout the world.
This was the number one Immortal Sect in Zhongzhou; an ordinary Ascended Immortal would not receive such treatment.
Even if the Sect Masters of other Immortal Sects arrived, they wouldn't have such a grand display.
And this was still after Han Xuanji specifically requested not to be too high-profile, otherwise, the Kunlun Immortal Sect might have arranged an even grander spectacle.
Li Taiqing, Lu Fan, and others stood behind Han Xuanji, even though they were mentally prepared.
But their hearts still raced, their blood boiled, and their chests were filled with an unprecedented sense of pride.
To be able to receive such courtesy from a myriad of ancient Immortal Sects, what an honor!
At Han Xuanji's heels, Little White Tiger held its head high and puffed out its chest, its tiger eyes wide open, trying to put on an arrogant, disdainful posture, taking tiger-like steps as if it truly were a Sacred Beast.
However.
Its round body swayed from side to side as it walked, looking exactly like a cute beast.
Li Taiqing and the others burst into laughter upon seeing this fellow acting so pompously, but due to the occasion, they could only desperately tighten the corners of their mouths.
Han Xuanji still maintained his calm, unruffled demeanor.
He nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the grand scene, unperturbed.
"You are too kind, Han does not deserve such a grand ceremony."
Han Xuanji's voice was gentle, yet it easily overpowered the hundreds of people's shouts, calming everything.
"You do!"
Real Person Lingyun took a step forward and responded loudly, his tone sincere beyond measure.
"Senior, your sword-slaying of the Blood Spirit Demonic Lord is truly a blessing to the world, and it comforts the spirits of our Kunlun heroes who perished in the past."
"Please."
He turned sideways, making a gesture to lead the way, his demeanor respectful.
In reality, Han Xuanji had underestimated the prestige brought by slaying the Blood Spirit Demon Lord.
Many people within the Kunlun Immortal Sect had relatives and friends who died at the hands of the Blood Spirit Demon Lord, so Han Xuanji, by helping avenge this great hatred, was naturally a distinguished guest of Kunlun.
Han Xuanji suddenly noticed that most of the Kunlun Disciples looked at him with gratitude, and with a thoughtful expression, he slowly followed.
Li Taiqing and the others also strode forward with their heads held high, feeling as if they had reached the Peak of their lives.
Especially Lu Fan, who was frantically bragging to the Demonic Lord in his mind:
"What do you say?"
"Even if you were once the Demonic Cult Master, a generation's Demonic Lord, I'm afraid your glory was not as great as mine is now."
"…"
The Demonic Lord was speechless; he had no interest in talking to Lu Fan.
As a Cultivator of the Demonic Path, coming to this Kunlun Immortal Sect, he was actually already filled with apprehension.
However, he also knew that with Han Xuanji's ability, he must have already known of his existence, but simply hadn't pointed it out, so thinking this way,.
Fortunately, in a while, he would be able to reshape his Physical Body.
In this life, he planned to join the Shenxuan Sect and be a good person.
And just as Han Xuanji stepped into the Kunlun mountain gate, the familiar System prompt quietly sounded:
"Detected a sign-in location: Kunlun Immortal Sect mountain gate."
"This is a six-star sign-in location. Do you wish to sign in?"
Six stars?
Han Xuanji suspected he had misheard, but he quickly reacted and silently chanted in his mind:
"System, sign in!"
"Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at the Kunlun Immortal Sect mountain gate. You have obtained the entry "Double Pupils.""
"The Dao of this place has been exhausted and cannot be signed in again."
"Double Pupils: One born with Double Pupils has an extremely noble fate, is naturally sacred, and possesses the ability to perceive the flow of all Laws in the heavens and see through the trajectory of destiny."
"As expected of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, it is indeed extraordinary."
Han Xuanji's heart stirred, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes.
Extremely noble fate, naturally sacred!
The power of these Double Pupils was beyond doubt; perhaps in terms of immediate combat power, they were not as good as a High Grade Immortal Artifact, but they undoubtedly greatly elevated his potential.
As expected of a six-star reward.
He didn't expect such a big surprise as soon as he arrived at the Kunlun Immortal Sect.
However, Han Xuanji was not in a hurry to claim the entry.
His expression was as usual, his steps did not falter in the slightest, as he followed Real Person Lingyun and the others into the heart of this ten-thousand-year-old Immortal Sect.
Along the way, auspicious signs gathered, and Spiritual Qi was so dense it formed mist.
Everyone passed through a formation, instantly moving to an Immortal Hall shrouded in mist and brimming with Dao.
Soon.
Immortal tea and spiritual fruits were served, and Han Xuanji took his seat.
As for Li Taiqing and the others, they were taken away by Xie Liuyun, and Little White Tiger also followed to freeload food and drink.
Real Person Lingyun expressed his solemn gratitude on behalf of the entire Kunlun Immortal Sect for Han Xuanji's act of demon-slaying, his words earnest and sincere.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Han Xuanji put down his teacup.
He seemingly casually brought up the question in his mind:
"Han has one thing he doesn't understand.
The Kunlun Immortal Sect has profound Legacy, and there are many strong individuals within its gates. Although this Demonic Lord was powerful, it shouldn't be to the extent that even the Kunlun Immortal Sect was powerless, right?"
Han Xuanji could sense it.
The powerful Auras of the Kunlun Immortal Sect rose and fell, with many Tribulation Transcendence Realm powerhouses, and even a considerable number of Ascension Realm powerhouses; he could detect at least six.
Upon hearing this, Real Person Lingyun's gentle smile faded, replaced by a hint of helplessness.
He was silent for a moment, then sighed softly:
"Sword Immortal Senior, you are astute… It's not that Kunlun has no one, nor that we intentionally allowed the Devil Head to wreak havoc."
He looked out at the misty Peaks outside the hall, his voice low.
"All of this… is because these Kunlun mountains themselves are a huge prison."
His words echoed in the hall, causing Purple Sun Old Ancestor, who was beside him, to also show a solemn expression.
In reality, even within the Kunlun Immortal Sect, very few people knew about this matter.
Only those who reached a certain level of strength and status were aware.
"Prison?"
Han Xuanji was deep in thought.
The Kunlun Immortal Sect had a long Legacy; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the ancestor of all sects, so how could it be connected to the word 'prison'?
"Exactly."
Real Person Lingyun nodded,
"The four Holy Lands of Zhongzhou have ancient Legacies. Besides the Kunlun Immortal Sect, there are also the Taiyi Dao Sect, Shushan Sword Sect, and Qionghua Spirit Sect, all founded by four True Immortals who achieved the Dao."
Han Xuanji nodded.
This was something many people knew, and he had heard of it too.
Then, Real Person Lingyun's expression became solemn, and he said word by word:
"Little do people know, there were once five Holy Lands in Zhongzhou."
Han Xuanji's heart stirred, as if he had guessed something.
