Chapter 833 The Situation in the Haori Immortal Realm

"What, does Sect Master Yan also have business to attend to in the Hao Ri Immortal Realm?"

Lin Xuan and Yan Chu walked side by side into the Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect.

Yan Chu smiled.

"The Hao Ri Immortal Realm is hosting the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly this time, and all forces will be going. It will be held in a year and a half. Of course, our Tian Huo Immortal Realm is very close to the Hao Ri Immortal Realm, so it's fine to wait another year. I'm just going ahead of time to visit some old friends in the Hao Ri Immortal Realm and catch up."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

Although Lin Xuan had not been in the Immortal Realm for long, he had heard of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering.

The Divine Exceeding Immortal Sect, which initially threatened the Thousand Absolutes Immortal Sect, wanted to enter the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, and only then did it plan to subdue several surrounding major forces.

I just didn't expect to run into Lin Xuan, this devil.

"What's the main purpose of this Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals?"

Lin Xuan had heard of the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, but he knew nothing about this grand event.

"Hehe, if you want to ask me, Fellow Daoist Lin, you should ask the person next to you."

Yan Chu glanced at Nangong Qingyi beside Lin Xuan.

Nangong Qingyi pursed her lips, clearly not wanting to respond to Yan Chu.

“Miss Nangong Qingyi, I didn’t recognize you when we were at Tianshuo Immortal Sect a few days ago. I’m so sorry.”

Yan Chu smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Nangong Qingyi, surprisingly showing some politeness.

Lin Xuan looked at Nangong Qingyi with some surprise.

From the very beginning, Lin Xuan knew that Nangong Qingyi was from the Haori Immortal Realm and that her status was probably not low.

However, judging from the current situation, Nangong Qingyi's identity is probably even higher than she imagined.

"Oh? It seems Fellow Daoist Lin doesn't know much about Miss Nangong Qingyi's identity either."

Yan Chu immediately guessed what was going on by looking at Lin Xuan and Nangong Qingyi's expressions.

Nangong Qingyi looked at Lin Xuan apologetically.

Lin Xuan simply smiled faintly and shook his head slightly.

"Hehe, I don't need to know that much. These things don't mean much to me."

"Oh?"

Yan Chu held Lin Xuan in even higher regard.

Not only is he powerful and decisive, but his confidence and demeanor are also exceptional.

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Lin, please come in. We didn't get to share a drink with you back then, so we must have a good drink together today."

The group of people entered the reception hall of the Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect.

Unlike the Tianshuo Immortal Sect, they did not engage in extravagance or make a big show of it.

This banquet was a small reception, specifically set up to entertain Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan and Yan Chu immediately began toasting and drinking.

It turns out that even immortals love to drink, and their methods are not much different from those of mortals.

It's just that their realm is higher, and the food and drink they eat and drink are more advanced.

"May I ask which faction Fellow Daoist Lin belongs to?"

Yan Chu took a sip of wine, looked at Lin Xuan, and asked with a smile.

"I'm just an ordinary person from a lower plane, with no background."

Lin Xuan made no attempt to hide anything and spoke calmly and naturally.

Yan Chu looked at Lin Xuan with great surprise.

Born in a lower plane with no background, yet possessing such combat power and realm, is truly unbelievable.

"Fellow Daoist Lin's strength already shocked me back then, but this time I am even more astonished. It seems that Fellow Daoist Lin is indeed a genius and a person of great fortune!"

Yan Chu immediately picked up another bowl of wine and drank it down in one gulp.

"By the way, Sect Master Yan, I'd like to know, if I go to the Haori Immortal Domain, can I travel to any other place in the Haori Universe through the wormhole in the Haori Immortal Domain?"

Lin Xuan wasn't particularly interested in the so-called Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly; he was now focused on finding the Nine Cauldrons Immortal Realm.

“Yes.” Yan Chu nodded seriously.

"How should I put it? Every universe has a center, which can be considered the eye of the universe, and this eye connects all the threads within the universe."

"You can travel from the Haori Immortal Realm to any other place, but you need a pass from the Haori Alliance to do so."

"The Haori Alliance?" Lin Xuan frowned slightly.

What kind of messed-up organization is this?

"That's right, it's the Haori Alliance. The Haori Alliance is the strongest force in our Haori Universe because it has four Immortal King level experts!"

"Four Celestial Kings?"

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He remembered that there were only six Immortal Kings in the entire Haori Immortal Domain. Therefore, the Haori Alliance, which had four Immortal Kings, was indeed worthy of the title of the number one power.

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly of our Haori Immortal Domain was also proposed by them. The conditions for participation are extremely harsh. One of the most difficult conditions is that the force must have a Golden Immortal. If there is no Golden Immortal, then the force needs to be comprehensively evaluated to see if it has the potential to become a Golden Immortal-level force."

Lin Xuan had some guesses about this requirement; it seemed that only those at the Golden Immortal realm could participate.

"Approximately how many forces in the entire Haori Universe will be able to participate in the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly?"

Lin Xuan was still somewhat curious about this, as it allowed him to comprehensively assess the overall strength of a universe.

"Take our Haori Universe for example. There were about 1,663 participating forces in the last session. This session should have more, probably over 1,800."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly. It seemed that there were quite a few Golden Immortal Realm experts in the Haori Universe. Of course, this was also because the Haori Universe was too big. There were 100,000 Immortal Realms inhabited by humans alone. When divided like this, the Golden Immortal Realm seemed particularly rare, since the Haori Immortal Realm occupied more than half of the Golden Immortal Realms.

"Hehe, this Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals only happens once every three hundred years. This is a rare opportunity. Fellow Daoist Lin must go and have some fun. Consider it an experience of the grandest event in our Haori Universe."

Yan Chu looked at Lin Xuan with a smile and said.

Lin Xuan smiled and nodded. Although he also wanted to witness the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, his primary goal was to find Lin Fan and the others.

"And Miss Nangong Qingyi, when I heard that your old master Nangong Gun King had made another breakthrough, it was truly a cause for celebration. I hope you can convey my regards to the old master."

Yan Chu looked at Nangong Qingyi, raised his wine cup with a smile, and spoke with extreme politeness.

Lin Xuan thought to himself, "As expected." If it were just a Golden Immortal Realm family, Yan Chu, the sect master of the Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect, wouldn't have needed to be so polite.

However, Nangong Qingyi comes from a family of immortal kings, so that's a completely different story.

Although the Immortal King and Golden Immortal realms are only one realm apart, based on current understanding, these two realms are worlds apart, with a frighteningly large gap.

Even if a thousand or even ten thousand Golden Immortals joined forces, they would not be a match for a Celestial King.

“My great-grandfather usually stays in seclusion. Not to mention me, even my father rarely gets to see him. Of course, if we do get to see him, I can also do some favors for Sect Master Yan. I hope Sect Master Yan understands.”

Nangong Qingyi smiled and cupped her hands in greeting. She knew very well that Yan Chu was so respectful to her mainly because of her great-grandfather, Nangong Wendao, who was known as the Overlord Spear Immortal King.

"Haha, that's natural. After all, Grandpa Nangong is a Celestial King. It's normal for him to go into seclusion for a hundred years. I can understand, I can understand."

Yan Chu laughed and didn't say anything more about it.

Lin Xuan simply listened quietly, without asking about Nangong Qingyi's background.

There are some things that Lin Xuan doesn't need to ask so clearly about.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the exchange of toasts, another banquet came to an end.

As customers of the Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect, Lin Xuan and his companions were naturally arranged to stay in the sect's VIP pavilion.

Lin Xuan and Nangong Qingyi lay together.

Nangong Qingyi's jade-like arms, as white as lotus roots, rested on Lin Xuan's chest, and she leaned against him.

Don't you want to ask me?

Nangong Qingyi stared at Lin Xuan, her blue eyes filled with questions.

Lin Xuan closed his eyes and said, "It's up to you. If you want to talk, I can listen. If you don't want to talk, I won't pry into your affairs."

Nangong Qingyi pursed her lips, realizing that she was the one who couldn't hold back first.

"I was born into the Nangong family in the Haori Immortal Realm. The Nangong family is one of the three major families in the Haori Immortal Kingdom, and they have an extremely large amount of power and authority in the Haori Immortal Kingdom."

"Of course, the Haori Immortal Kingdom is now on the verge of collapse, and the Haori Alliance has taken its place. The current Haori Immortal Domain is the battle between the Haori Immortal Kingdom and the Haori Alliance."

"Ok?"

Lin Xuan was quite curious about this matter.

"Is the struggle between the old and new overlords in the Haori Immortal Realm still ongoing?"

Nangong Qingyi nodded slightly.

"The struggle has lasted for 100,000 years. After all, there are only six Immortal Kings in the Haori Universe, and the Haori Alliance alone has four Immortal Kings. The Haori Immortal Kingdom is naturally at a disadvantage. However, because the Supreme Emperor of the Haori Immortal Kingdom is a Three Tribulation Immortal King, the Haori Immortal Kingdom is still able to stand in the Haori Universe."

"Although our Nangong family is still nominally a subject of the Haori Immortal Kingdom, we have also joined the Haori Alliance. This has led to extreme dissatisfaction within the Haori Immortal Kingdom towards our Nangong family, so our Nangong family is not doing very well now."

Nangong Qingyi recounted her family affairs to Lin Xuan in detail.

Lin Xuan looked at Nangong Qingyi with amusement after hearing these words.

"What? Is your Nangong family hedging your bets?"

As a subject of the Haori Immortal Kingdom, yet he joined the Haori Alliance, isn't that a betrayal of his own people?

If Lin Xuan were the emperor of the Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom, he probably wouldn't want to let the Nangong family go either.

"Sigh." Nangong Qingyi slowly sat up, wearing only a thin veil.

"It's not that our Nangong family is willing to do this, but that what Haori Immortal Kingdom has done has gone too far. When Haori Immortal Kingdom dominated the Haori Universe, it was extremely tyrannical and oppressive. Their royal family members killed people in the streets and committed numerous atrocities, but just because they were royal family members, nothing happened to them."

"At its peak, the Haori Immortal Kingdom had a total of seven Immortal Kings, five of whom were members of the royal family. Later, one of these royal family members actually colluded with evil spirits, attempting to overthrow the entire Haori Universe!"

"This matter was eventually exposed, which enraged the other Immortal Emperors. They forcefully killed two Immortal Kings of Haori Immortal Kingdom, and the Immortal King who colluded with evil spirits fled to the territory of evil spirits. Haori Immortal Kingdom killed three Immortal Kings at once, and Immortal King Chengde immediately formed the Haori Alliance. This was the beginning of the decline of Haori Immortal Kingdom."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly. It seemed that the Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom was indeed unpopular, otherwise so many powerful figures would not have been willing to join the Hao Ri Alliance to deal with the Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom.

"And what about your Nangong family?"

“My great-grandfather instructed us not to get involved in the battle between the Hao Ri Alliance and the Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom, so as not to offend either side.”

Nangong Qingyi pouted, clearly somewhat dissatisfied with her great-grandfather's method.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile when he saw Nangong Qingyi's appearance.

Clearly, Nangong Qingyi wanted the Nangong family to completely join the Haori Alliance to deal with the Haori Immortal Kingdom, so that the Haori Immortal Kingdom would disappear completely from the annals of history.

Who are the four Celestial Kings in the Haori Alliance?

Lin Xuan continued to ask questions.

"The four Immortal Kings include my great-grandfather, the Overlord Spear Immortal King. The other three are: first, the Chengde Immortal King who founded the Haori Alliance; second, the Divine Thunder Immortal King, the master of the Divine Thunder Palace; and third, the Divine Weapon Immortal King, the number one weapon-forging master of my Haori Immortal Domain."

"In the Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom, my great-grandfather was also a member. If we don't count my great-grandfather, the other two are members of the Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom's royal family. The first one is their Supreme Emperor, named Hao Ze Immortal King, and the second one is their current ruler, Hao Yu Immortal King."

Lin Xuan gained a clearer understanding of the situation in the Hao Ri Immortal Realm.

"Hearing you say that, it seems that the Hao Ri Immortal Realm is indeed not peaceful."

"The constant infighting and tensions are why I don't want to stay in the Haori Immortal Realm or in my family. I'd rather travel around the vast world."

Nangong Qingyi's words did indeed seem quite carefree.

"What? Is there also some undercurrent of unrest within your Nangong family?"

Lin Xuan looked at Nangong Qingyi with an expression and eyes that seemed to see through everything.

"Yes, our Nangong family is now divided into two factions. The First Elder's faction supports the Haori Immortal Kingdom, but my father supports the Haori Alliance more."

"The Grand Elder has a million-year-old foundation in our Nangong family. In terms of seniority, he's even of the same generation as my great-grandfather. His influence is profound, and many people listen to him. This has led to extreme instability within our Nangong family, with two factions arguing fiercely."

Nangong Qingyi sighed deeply, appearing extremely helpless about the internal affairs of her family.

Wherever there are people, there will be conflict, especially within families, where conflict is perfectly normal.

Even within the Lin family now, there are likely to be open and covert power struggles.

"It seems that my trip to the Haori Immortal Realm this time will not be peaceful."

Lin Xuan sat up, realizing that his Celestial Immortal Realm was no longer sufficient.

"Oh, by the way, Lin Xuan, I believe there's something in the Hao Ri Immortal Realm that you'd be interested in."

"what?"

"The Divine Fruit of Myriad Spaces".
