“Awe-inspiring Immortal?”
Ye Qingyan looked at the young man before her. She could tell at a glance that his bone age was no more than a million years, yet his cultivation had already reached the True Immortal realm. He could be considered a super genius even among the myriad worlds.
“The name is indeed grand, but I wonder if you can bear it.” Ye Qingyan said indifferently. The name ‘Awe-inspiring Immortal’ is not ordinary. A True Immortal is an immortal, and an Immortal Emperor is also an immortal.
Awe-inspiring Immortal… without a powerful destiny and luck, he probably would have died young.
“Thank you for the Immortal Venerable’s concern. This junior’s name was bestowed by my grandmaster. My grandmaster said that I have an extraordinary destiny and will amaze all immortals in the future!”
Bu Jingxian’s tone seemed humble, but it revealed a strong sense of pride.
That's normal, though. His grandmaster is naturally Danqing Immortal Emperor, the father of Myriad Transformation Immortal Venerable. Being named by an Immortal Emperor shows that Bu Jingxian is not just for show.
Ye Qingyan was slightly surprised, but that was all. She had encountered countless talented people, even those hailed as peerless geniuses who appear once in eternity, but in the end, they all turned into piles of withered bones.
Even someone as strong as her father still fell in the great calamity.
“May I ask, Immortal Venerable, is Daoist Murong here?” Bu Jingxian asked at this moment.
Ye Qingyan’s eyes narrowed slightly. She looked at the master and disciple pair of Myriad Transformation Immortal Venerable and Bu Jingxian, and her red lips parted slightly, saying, “The marriage proposal you mentioned just now… is it for Murong?”
“Haha, Fellow Qingyan is right. Since you came to my Danqing Great World as guests, my unworthy disciple has been in love at first sight with that little girl named Murong. Since meeting her, he has been neglecting food and sleep every day, and his cultivation has also suffered. As his master, I really don’t want to see him continue like this, so I shamelessly came to propose marriage for my unworthy disciple!”
Myriad Transformation Immortal Venerable laughed. It was unknown whether he was really doing it for Bu Jingxian or to have an excuse to come to Qingyan World.
Perhaps both!
Ye Qingyan’s heart was as clear as a mirror, but some things were better left unsaid, as the two sides had not yet fallen out.
Ye Qingyan gave Wei Qizhao, who was beside her, a subtle look. Wei Qizhao understood and said, “Princess, Myriad Transformation Immortal Venerable, I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you.”
“Hehe, no problem!” Myriad Transformation Immortal Venerable couldn’t wait for Wei Qizhao to leave, so naturally, he wouldn’t object.
Wei Qizhao nodded slightly to Ye Qingyan and then left the hall.
At this time, Ye Qingyan sat in the main seat of the hall, with a condescending air. She said in a cold voice, “You’ve come at a bad time. Murong is not in Qingyan World at the moment. She was sent out by me to perform a mission some time ago. I don’t know when she will return. Why don’t you go back first?”
Ye Qingyan’s implication was already very clear; she was refusing. But Myriad Transformation Immortal Venerable seemed not to hear it. He smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. For my unworthy disciple, I can afford to wait.”
He was planning to stay in Qingyan World.
Although Ye Qingyan was unhappy, she didn’t explicitly refuse.
At this time, Bu Jingxian said, “I wonder, Immortal Venerable, could you tell this junior where Murong is? I’ll go find her!”
Ye Qingyan frowned. She had already clearly expressed her meaning. Myriad Transformation Immortal Venerable was one thing, but what was Bu Jingxian? A True Immortal, so what if he was a genius? She could kill him countless times with a single thought. How dare such an ant go against her?
Ye Qingyan revealed a hint of coldness, and Bu Jingxian instantly felt a great terror in his heart. A chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the crown of his head, and his soul was almost frozen.
Just then, Myriad Transformation Immortal Venerable came before him and said with a light smile, “My unworthy disciple doesn’t know how to speak. I hope Fellow Qingyan will forgive him.”
“This junior has been rude. Please forgive this junior, Immortal Venerable!” Bu Jingxian also quickly apologized.
Usually, Bu Jingxian was used to being arrogant because of his grandmaster Danqing Immortal Emperor’s favor. Today, he had restrained himself somewhat in the face of Ye Qingyan, but a person’s habits are not so easily completely restrained, so subconsciously, he didn’t respect Ye Qingyan too much.
Ye Qingyan snorted coldly, and then she said, “If you are willing to wait, then wait!”
Then, Ye Qingyan had people arrange accommodation for the two, while she returned to her own palace.
In the palace, Wei Qizhao had been waiting for a long time.
“How is it?” Ye Qingyan asked. Earlier, she had asked Wei Qizhao to leave to contact Murong.
Although she was opposed to Myriad Transformation Immortal Venerable bringing his disciple to propose marriage to Murong, she still respected Murong’s decision, so she asked Wei Qizhao to inform Murong.
“Reporting to Your Highness, this old servant cannot contact Murong!” Wei Qizhao said.
“Cannot contact?” Ye Qingyan’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed. Qingyan World was based within a battleship and separated from the mortal realm, but in the end, they were currently within the mortal realm. Although the Great Dao of the mortal realm had recovered, with Wei Qizhao’s cultivation, a single thought would be enough to cover the entire mortal realm, but now he couldn’t contact Murong, which was strange.
“What’s going on?” Ye Qingyan asked again.
Wei Qizhao replied, “Neither the transmitted messages nor the divine senses sent out received any response, like a clay ox entering the sea, never to return.”
“Your Highness, this old servant believes that the mortal realm is not that simple!” Wei Qizhao added.
“You mean… there is someone in the mortal realm stronger than you?” Ye Qingyan asked.
Wei Qizhao’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Immortal King realm. Someone stronger than him would only be an Immortal Venerable. As for an Immortal Emperor, Ye Qingyan didn’t think in that direction. After the great destruction of the mortal realm, being able to become an immortal was already defying the heavens, becoming an Immortal Venerable was defying the heavens among defiance, a true occurrence unseen in all ages. As for existences at the Immortal Emperor level and above?
Compared to that, Ye Qingyan would rather believe that her father had faked his death to train her to manage a larger situation.
But was that possible?
Obviously not!
“Perhaps it is also possible that Murong is within some peerless secret realm. After all, the mortal realm gave birth to a figure like the Heavenly Emperor, so it is expected that there are some strange places,” Wei Qizhao said.
Ye Qingyan nodded. What Wei Qizhao said made sense. She herself had visited the mortal realm and had not discovered any beings above the Supreme level. If there really was a strong Immortal Venerable, upon detecting her presence, it was impossible that they wouldn’t come out to meet her.
That was the magnetic attraction between strong individuals.
However, even if Ye Qingyan racked her brains, she wouldn’t know that there was an Immortal Venerable who had discovered her, but that Immortal Venerable was currently on the path of chasing his wife and had no interest in paying attention to her.
“What about the other matter?” Ye Qingyan’s face suddenly became extremely serious. Besides asking Wei Qizhao to notify Murong, she had also asked her to find out who had told Myriad Transformation Immortal Venerable the news.
Qingyan World could move. She had never told the outside world about her return to the mortal realm, so apart from the people of Qingyan World, no one knew the coordinates of Qingyan World.
Myriad Transformation Immortal Venerable being able to find them accurately meant that someone had informed him.
Even if Myriad Transformation Immortal Venerable was not an enemy at the moment, such a person’s behavior was equivalent to betrayal!
And whoever could contact Myriad Transformation Immortal Venerable would not be low in cultivation or status.
At this time, Wei Qizhao also became extremely serious. He said a name in a heavy tone.
Ye Qingyan’s pupils shrank, and she said in disbelief, “How could it be him?”
…
