Chapter 2213 The Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals, Ancient Secrets

A painting depicting ten thousand immortals paying homage!

This is a famous painting from ancient times.

It is said that this scene depicts the gathering of the five Dao Ancestors and the arrival of countless immortals to offer their congratulations.

Although Chen Xuan didn't know much about the affairs of the True Immortal Realm.

But I've also heard about the Thousand Immortals Pilgrimage Map.

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, his curious gaze quickly turned to the distant cliff.

Before him stood a huge, lifelike stone sculpture.

Among them were five unfamiliar powerful figures standing amidst countless others.

The five of them chatted and laughed as if nothing was wrong.

It was as if everything revolved around the five of them.

However, when Chen Xuan tried to see the faces of the five people clearly, he found that his divine sense and the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eyes seemed to be blocked by a very strange force.

Even if he tried his best, he couldn't do it.

"Could it be the mysterious power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage Map that is blocking my view? Or is it that my cultivation level is too low, and I am simply not qualified to see the true faces of the five powerful figures?"

Chen Xuan pondered silently.

But there were no clues.

After a long while, he seemed to remember something, and his gaze quickly searched the Thousand Immortals Pilgrimage Map.

He discovered that he could see the faces of countless true immortals clearly.

He could even sense the aura emanating from these true immortals.

But no matter how hard they searched, they still couldn't find the Lord of the Immortal Beast Tower.

"Could it be that the Lord of the Immortal Beast Tower is not qualified to attend this gathering? That's impossible, isn't it? Based on my understanding of the Lord of the Immortal Beast Tower, he definitely has a place in this 'Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage' picture."

Chen Xuan was secretly puzzled.

Just then, Bai Zhi, who was standing to the side, seemed to have discovered something. Suddenly, he excitedly bowed repeatedly to an inconspicuous little figure on the Ten Thousand Immortals Pilgrimage Map.

This immediately piqued Chen Xuan's curiosity.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, what's going on?"

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, please don't be surprised. I was deeply moved to suddenly witness the true face of my ancestor. Therefore, I bowed and greeted him."

Bai Zhi said this with a smile on his face.

But Chen Xuan could see that a deep-seated excitement and pride also arose from Bai Zhi.

"May I ask who your ancestors were?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.

"It's the one whose head is only partially visible in the 'Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage' painting!"

"This……"

Chen Xuan was speechless for a while.

The "Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage" painting only shows half of its head.

This is enough to show that Bai Zhi's ancestors were not even ranked in the ancient realm of true immortals.

At the very least, they cannot openly and legitimately ascend the pilgrimage mural before them.

Even so, Bai Zhi was extremely proud.

This is enough to show that the powerful individuals who can occupy a place on the Scroll of Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage are definitely extraordinary.

“Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, don’t underestimate my ancestor just because he left his head on the Scroll of Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage!”

"Let me tell you, the one who created Yaoguang Cave back then didn't even qualify for half a head to be left on the 'Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage' painting. Do you understand what I mean?"

Bai Zhi smiled.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's expression immediately turned curious.

"Understood. This means that your ancestor was clearly stronger than the Lord of Yaoguang Cave."

“Hehe, that’s natural. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen has found the true face of your ancestor on the Scroll of Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage?” Bai Zhi asked.

Chen Xuan shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I haven't figured out why he's not on the 'Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage' painting either!"

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, don't take it to heart. After all, the powerful figures who were able to ascend the Myriad Immortals' Pilgrimage Map back then were all famous figures from ancient times. For example, our ancestor's strength even reached a few steps above the half-step Dao Ancestor level. Even so, he could only barely leave half a head on the Myriad Immortals' Pilgrimage Map."

"Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist."

Chen Xuan nodded.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually feeling quite upset inside.

He also didn't know why the master of the Immortal Beast Tower wasn't in this painting of ten thousand immortals paying homage.

After all, based on the information he had gathered, the master of the Immortal Beast Tower was definitely a powerhouse comparable to the Dao Ancestor in the True Immortal Realm.

In fact, his strength surpasses that of the Dao Ancestor.

"The 'Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage' painting? Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage? Homage? This... could it be..."

Thinking of this, a bold guess instantly emerged in Chen Xuan's mind.

He looked at Bai Zhi, who was still beaming with pride, and immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist Bai, I have a question for you. Who exactly is the sage in this 'Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage' painting?"

"Heh, is that even a question? He was the famous Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals back in the day!"

"The Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals? Who is this person?"

Chen Xuan's expression grew increasingly curious.

"Back then, the Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals was truly the number one person in the ancient True Immortal Realm. Look at these five Dao Ancestor level experts; although they form their own small circle, they, like other True Immortals, have all gone to congratulate the Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals!"

"Oh? So, in other words, there are some powerful figures in this 'Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage' painting who haven't appeared on it yet, right?"

"Do not……"

Bai Zhi shook his head firmly.

After a long silence, he finally said, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, I don't know how your family records it. According to the oral account of our Bai family ancestor, when he participated in the pilgrimage of ten thousand immortals, every single powerful expert in the ancient True Immortal Realm went to pay homage to that Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals."

"Think about it, even the five most powerful Dao Ancestors at the time personally went to offer their congratulations. How dare anyone else not go?"

At this, Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.

"In other words, almost all the powerful figures from ancient times, except for the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals, left their mark on this 'Pilgrimage of Ten Thousand Immortals' painting?"

"They were any of the top-ranking powerhouses from ancient times."

"It's roughly the same idea!"

Chen Xuan laughed.

At this moment, he was somewhat certain that the famous Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals was the first Lord of the Immortal Beast Tower.

Otherwise, with the strength of the first generation of the Immortal Beast Tower Master, how could he not be qualified to ascend the Ten Thousand Immortals Pilgrimage Map?

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, we juniors shouldn't take things for granted. Back then, our ancestors were already very powerful. Otherwise, we juniors wouldn't be able to enjoy the benefits they brought us."

"Even if your ancestors were not qualified to leave even the slightest trace on the 'Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage' map back then, you don't have to do this."

Seeing that Chen Xuan remained silent for a long time, Bai Zhi smiled and comforted him.

Chen Xuan shook his head calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, you misunderstand. I don't mean any blame. I'm just curious about who this Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals is, the only one missing from this painting of Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage. Why haven't I found any records about him in many ancient texts?"

"Hehe, the Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals was a legend back then. Apart from powerful families and True Immortal forces like ours who left a mark on the Ten Thousand Immortals Pilgrimage Map, the Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals was simply a supreme being to ordinary True Immortals. Where in ordinary ancient books would you find any record of the Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals?"

"Does this mean that ordinary ancient books are not qualified to record matters concerning the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals?"

"That's natural. The Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals holds a transcendent position and his strength far surpasses that of the Five Great Dao Ancestors. Ordinary ancient classics would be courting death if they dared to record anything about the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals. Only powerful families like ours, which have been passed down from ancient times, have even a few words about the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals."

At this point, Bai Zhi smiled slightly at Chen Xuan and began to explain again.

"According to our Bai family's records, this Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals' most skilled fighting method is controlling powerful demonic beasts. He commands many incredibly powerful demonic beasts."

"Some of these demonic beasts are even stronger than the Five Great Dao Ancestors!"

"That is why he became a figure admired by thousands of people all by his own efforts."

"Even in the countless years since his death, the Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals remains the ultimate goal for countless powerful individuals."

By the end, Bai Zhi's expression was full of pride.

After hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.

"After hearing what Fellow Daoist Bai said, I am even more certain that the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals is the first generation Lord of the Immortal Beast Tower."

"No wonder the first generation of the Immortal Beast Tower Master was unable to leave any mark on the Myriad Immortals Pilgrimage Map."

Chen Xuan muttered secretly.

At this moment, he felt even greater respect for the first generation master of the Immortal Beast Tower.

It wasn't just because he received the inheritance of the Lord of the Immortal Beast Tower.

It is also because of the immense power of this once-powerful figure who single-handedly protected the human race.

"Now that I have received the inheritance of the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals, I will also become an existence comparable to the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals!"

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, and soon his expression returned to normal.

……

Tianyuan Valley, within the ancient celestial array.

Seeing that Chen Xuan and Bai Zhi had not returned for a long time, the Jade Ink Saintess's expression became extremely solemn.

"I never imagined that after so much time, those two late-stage Celestial Immortal experts would still not have returned safely."

"It seems that if that's the case, we can't stay here forever."

At this point, a look of solemnity flashed in Fairy Yu Mo's beautiful eyes.

She quickly glanced at the powerful figures from Yaoguang Cave behind her.

"Gentlemen, when the Blood Sea Frenzy Song pauses again, we must do our utmost to get through this area covered by the demonic sound."

"Therefore, once the operation begins, everyone must give it their all. Whether we can pass through safely depends on your own fate."

As soon as Fairy Yu Mo finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the room.

Yet no one dared to oppose anything at that moment.

Huo Lingyan of the Tianhuang Immortal Sect frowned immediately upon hearing this.

"Are they going to use us as cannon fodder too? If that's the case, then our Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect has no need to rely on the Yao Guang Cave. We'll just proceed according to our own plan!"

"I have secretly calculated the results of the previous operations. As long as we use some methods to penetrate the area covered by the demonic sound, we still have a 50% success rate."

"When the next window of opportunity arrives, our Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect must act immediately."

Thinking of this, Huo Lingyan immediately moved her lips slightly and transmitted her voice to everyone.

"Get ready, we'll set off immediately before the next lull in business."
