Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

Chapter 544 - 542: Cultivators Gather in the Northern Territory, Saintess of the Sea Spirit Hall, Arrival of a True Celestial Realm

The other disciples of the Sea Spirit Hall turned to look when the tall woman who had remained silent before suddenly spoke up.

"Saintess, what have you discovered?"

This woman, whose expression was somewhat composed, was surprisingly the Saintess of this generation of the Sea Spirit Hall...

In terms of cultivation, she was only beneath the two Celestial Realm elders of the Sea Spirit Hall, possessing Celestial Realm Second Layer cultivation herself!

And she was only thirty-two years old.

Having such cultivation at such an age was truly unprecedented within the Sea Spirit Hall even in nearly ten thousand years.

She was hailed as the most talented disciple in the Sea Spirit Hall in nearly ten thousand years.

Thus, her becoming the Saintess of the Sea Spirit Hall was a completely natural progression.

Even those disciples who consider themselves geniuses within the hall had no objections.

The Saintess of the Sea Spirit Hall pondered for a moment before saying, "Just passing through the small town earlier, I seemed to have felt a subtle sense of pressure."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of many disciples of the Sea Spirit Hall subtly changed.

To make the Saintess of the Sea Spirit Hall feel pressured... it suggests that at least a Celestial Realm master was present.

Could it be that a Celestial Realm Grandmaster was hidden in that small town just now?!

Immediately, these disciples of the Sea Spirit Hall became more restrained, as many of them were in the Mortal Realm and Earth Realm, with few having reached the Celestial Realm...

...

Lu Ye was unaware that his spiritual sense probe had made the Saintess of the Sea Spirit Hall significantly more alert.

Two days later, news suddenly broke from a certain part of the Northern Territory about an extreme anomaly in the Heaven and Earth Source Qi in that area, suggesting Mist Heaven Hall may soon manifest there.

Lu Ye also received this news, opened the map, and realized the rumored location was actually near Yunlan River, not too far from Cloud Leaf City.

Lu Ye naturally remembered that place.

After all, he had once slew a Sect Leader from the Realm of Chaos and the Supreme Elder of the Cyan Thunder Sect there.

"Could it really be here?"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye decided to set off to visit, coincidentally near Cloud Leaf City Jiang Family, allowing Jiang Qingge to visit home.

Taking into account that she hadn’t appeared in Cloud Leaf City for quite some time since leaving the Jiang Family.

Arriving at Jiang Qingge’s room, Lu Ye informed her of the matter, asking, "Mist Heaven Hall seems to have appeared outside Cloud Leaf City by Yunlan River, would you be interested in going together? You could also visit the Jiang Family then."

"Ah? It’s actually there?" Jiang Qingge responded in surprise, immediately stood up, and nodded, "I’ve been wanting to visit my father and them."

Lu Ye communicated via Communication Jade Token with Sang Xiyao about the possible emergence location of Mist Heaven Hall, and soon received a message from Sang Xiyao.

Since that’s the case, she decided not to come over and could directly vacate the whole courtyard.

After vacating the courtyard at the inn, Lu Ye immediately left with Jiang Qingge.

Yunlan River.

Originally, this was just a water body approximately a hundred miles from Cloud Leaf City, not considered bustling.

But starting today, a large number of cultivators suddenly flocked to this place, with almost none of them having a weak presence.

As more cultivators arrived one after another, some indeed noticed the Heaven and Earth Source Qi here was distinctly different from other places.

It seemed something... was about to break the realm and emerge.

"Could it truly be that Mist Heaven Hall will manifest here? This commotion..."

"Oh, I seem to have been here a few years ago, and I remember this place."

A martial arts grandmaster from the Northern Territory recognized Yunlan River, suddenly recalling witnessing a battle here a few years ago.

Nearby, an Innate Realm person said, "Isn’t this the place where Elder Chen Beixuan originally gained fame? Looks quite familiar."

Chen Beixuan...

Upon hearing this name, many arriving cultivators were stunned.

Lately, there seemed to have been a period devoid of news about this individual in the Northern Territory.

Uncertain if this time’s Mist Heaven Hall... this genius rising from the Northern Territory will get involved?

"For such a grand event in our Northern Territory, surely Elder Chen would not miss it, right?" someone remarked.

"Not necessarily, I’d assume given Elder Chen’s current prowess, he might not even be in the Northern Territory anymore. If not, he wouldn’t be aware of the current situation."

It’s a recognized fact that the Northern Territory is resource-poor.

At his current level, seeking resources elsewhere after leaving the Northern Territory is fairly reasonable.

At this time, a small flying boat traversing through the sky was seen approaching from the distance, its flag clearly bearing the words "Celestial Profound Sect."

"It’s the Celestial Profound Sect from the Eastern Territory. I remember this force had some friction with Elder Chen before, didn’t they?"

"They’ve actually come to the Northern Territory. If they run into Elder Chen, it’ll be interesting."

Many held a mindset of enjoying a good show.

Onboard the Celestial Profound Sect’s flying boat, some disciples felt somewhat uneasy as well.

They had heard about the individual who once feuded with their Vice Sect Leader, seemingly originating from the Northern Territory.

During that time, Celestial Profound Sect lost a Vice Sect Leader and later relied on the Celestial Curtain Prefecture people to take action...

But the final result was less than satisfactory.

Indicating that the opponent’s strength had reached an unimaginable level, back then, possessing the power to slay individuals from the Celestial Curtain Prefecture in Mortal Realm Ninth Layer, and later even taking down a Celestial Curtain Prefecture master in Earth Realm Fourth Layer.

Currently... if everything is normal, being on par with Earth Realm Late Stage would be quite achievable.

Eastern Territory individuals are relatively unfamiliar with Lu Yan who caused a huge stir in Yuan Province and Qing Province, not realizing he is another identity of Lu Ye.

Thus, speculating Lu Ye as Chen Beixuan in Xuanzhou on par with Earth Realm Late Stage is quite a bold guess.

And Earth Realm Late Stage, even flipping through every corner of the Celestial Profound Sect, one couldn’t find a person at such an absolute peak.

Encountering Chen Beixuan, wouldn’t that really be a distressing scenario?

Yet the Mist Heaven Hall in the Northern Territory represents an opportunity-filled location for those with substantial strength, missing it would be a pity.

Therefore, Celestial Profound Sect braced themselves and dispatched a team to the Northern Territory.

On the flying boat of Celestial Profound Sect, several Mortal Realm elders frowned deeply, being outside the Great Elder and Vice Sect Leader factions.

Disagreeing with the Vice Sect Leader’s previous actions.

After all, dragging the sect into such a massive trouble, having everyone in the sect shoulder the blame.

If the interception had succeeded initially, all the extraordinary wealth would have been his alone.

"Let’s hope that Elder Chen Beixuan is...indeed not present in the Northern Territory right now."

Several elders exchanged glances, and the thought involuntarily appeared in their minds.

Meanwhile, the cyan-robed woman who had left Cloud Leaf City previously returned once more.
