Chapter 326: The Young Palace Master Has Blossomed

Upon hearing Zuo Tianyang’s words, Ji Ruo Lan, although previously prepared, was still taken aback.

It was now completely clear that this Zuo Tianyang was indeed her grand-disciple Zuo Yang.

“Ancestor, didn’t my master come?” Zuo Tianyang asked Ji Ruo Lan.

Having spent over one hundred years at the Zhengyang Sect, Zuo Tianyang felt a sense of belonging there.

After all, he had been sheltered by the Zhengyang Sect for over a century, and he also had a master.

“Your master is inside the sect,” Ji Ruo Lan replied to Zuo Tianyang.

If she had known that Kenai Ling’s partner would be her grand-disciple, she would certainly have brought her own disciple along.

That was a bit of a miscalculation.

However, it seemed that Zuo Tianyang still recognized her as his Ancestor.

“Ancestor, I have a lot to take care of. Let’s talk later when I’m done.”

Zuo Tianyang did not forget the purpose of his trip.

He came out mainly to compile a list of the immortal families submitting to them, and he also needed to inform these families about how many resources they would have to contribute each year, among other things.

He also had to receive representatives from other Immortal Gates one by one.

In short, he had a lot to do, and it would take an entire day of work to finish. Once he was done, he could catch up with his Ancestor.

…

Time flew by, and eighteen years passed.

The Sword Demon Palace had undergone a complete transformation.

At this time, the Sword Demon Palace had a total of over one hundred disciples, all of whom possessed at least top-grade spirit roots, with several even having top-grade spirit roots.

These were the disciples recruited by the Sword Demon Palace over the past eighteen years.

Top-grade spirit roots were already a rare talent, chosen from among countless others.

Inside the Sword Demon Palace, there was a hall where a boy of around seventeen or eighteen was engaging with a woman.

After finishing, the boy appeared fresh and invigorated.

As he walked out of the palace, a young man in his twenties approached him.

“This shipment is quite nice; here’s a reward for you,” the boy said, tossing a superior grade spirit stone to the young man.

“I’m glad the Young Palace Master is satisfied. Next time, I’ll make sure to bring you even better women…” the young man replied with a grin.

“Not bad,” the boy said, patting the young man on the shoulder in acknowledgment.

Soon, the boy left.

Then, the young man walked inside.

On the bed in the palace, a woman was lying.

Upon seeing this, the young man waved his hand, and the woman on the bed instantly vanished.

Just as the woman vanished, far away in the Sword Demon Palace, in a city lord’s office, the woman suddenly appeared on the bed.

The next evening, the young Palace Master of the Sword Demon Palace arrived at this palace once again.

Upon entering, he found another beautiful and alluring woman inside.

Time flew by, and another year passed.

One year later.

“Little Yezi, why are there no women today?”

The young Palace Master entered the palace he visited every night but found it empty.

“Little Yezi, where are you? Where did you disappear to?”

“Who just hit me? Are you looking for trouble?”

“Little Yezi, why did you hit me?”

“Ouch, it hurts! Stop hitting me!”

On that day, the young Palace Master of the Sword Demon Palace had his backside severely impacted by a disciple named Little Yezi; it was truly unfortunate.

Meanwhile, Little Yezi, who struck the young Palace Master, soon vanished under mysterious circumstances.

Not long after, a young man appeared on Earth.

Little Yezi of the Sword Demon Palace was, of course, disguised as Li Xiaojun.

He originally planned to stay for a few more years, but not long ago, he received a call from his daughter, Liu Hongxia.

Liu Hongxia informed him that the most significant secret realm on Earth, the Kunlun Immortal Realm, had finally opened.

Previously, after the revival of spiritual energy on Earth, many secret realms were opened, but one remained closed—the Kunlun Secret Realm.

“Dad, I heard that although the Kunlun Secret Realm offers a path to become an immortal, it seems that you can only enter but not exit. Historical records show that nobody who entered the Kunlun Immortal Realm has ever come back. Some say they ascended to the Immortal Realm after becoming immortals, while others say they all died inside…”

Liu Hongxia shared what she had found out about the Kunlun Immortal Realm with Li Xiaojun.

“It’s fine. With my cultivation level at the Golden Immortal Realm, why should I fear a secret realm?” Li Xiaojun waved his hand casually.

He truly wasn’t afraid because he had the system backing him.

If he encountered danger in the secret realm, Li Xiaojun could easily teleport back.

“I’ll go check the Kunlun Immortal Realm first. If it’s safe, I’ll let you know, and then you can come in,” Li Xiaojun told Liu Hongxia.

“Okay, Dad.” Liu Hongxia nodded.

She wouldn’t do anything that lacked certainty or carried unpredictable risks.

Soon, Li Xiaojun entered the entrance of the Kunlun Immortal Realm.

At that moment, Li Xiaojun was on high alert; as soon as there was any danger, he would choose to teleport back to Liu Hongxia’s side.

However, the situation that worried Li Xiaojun didn’t occur. He smoothly followed the spatial passage to the destination.

After a while, Li Xiaojun appeared above a forest.

The next moment, Li Xiaojun suddenly felt immense gravity, nearly causing him to lose his balance and fall from mid-air.

“What powerful gravity!”

Li Xiaojun was astonished.

He realized that the gravity here was similar to what he experienced inside a black hole.

Unless Li Xiaojun could tangibly feel the strong gravity, he wouldn’t have believed it.

He couldn’t comprehend how such a strong gravitational force could allow lush vegetation to thrive on the surface of this secret realm.

Releasing his divine sense perception, Li Xiaojun discovered that his divine sense perception range, which had been one hundred billion kilometers, was now compressed to only a thousand kilometers.

This situation left Li Xiaojun feeling somewhat uneasy.

Even a powerhouse like him at the Golden Immortal Realm was suppressed to this extent; if anyone else entered here, especially those who hadn’t become immortals, they would probably be crushed by the immense pressure.

Those who previously entered the Kunlun Immortal Realm on Earth were likely already dead.

…

On the other side, although Li Xiaojun’s divine sense was restricted to a one-thousand-kilometer range, he found himself on a continent.

At present, he stood in the southern part of the continent, less than one hundred kilometers from the coastline.

What made Li Xiaojun nervous was that within his divine sense perception, over a thousand kilometers of territory, there were no animals in sight, only various plants.

To Li Xiaojun, any creature surviving under such gravity should at least be an immortal.

As for why the plants could thrive in such gravitational conditions, Li Xiaojun found it completely perplexing.

He intended to study it but ultimately decided to observe the situation in the secret realm a bit longer.

Just as Li Xiaojun was preparing to observe the secret realm, Liu Hongxia’s call request came in.

“Dad, how’s it going over there? Is there any danger?”
