"Wasn't Jian Xieshen dead a long time ago? How could he be alive again? Who resurrected him from the dead?" Xuanyin Yue asked.
Tu Shen exhaled softly and explained everything to all the cultivators present, starting with the activities of the ghost cultivators in the Slaughter Heaven Domain, the truth behind Jia Xieshen's resurrection, and the existence of the fake immortals that had worried Ling Yun and his group. "I've told this matter to many of my old acquaintances, but none of them believe me, and they even think I'm crazy. Only Tian Jianshen and Yuan Tian believe me, especially since they've witnessed that kid's abilities in real combat."
"That kid once defeated Xie Zuzhou's avatar, so I also believe in his abilities." Xuanyin Yue and the others nodded in agreement with Long Nu. "However, Jian Xieshen's resurrection and the existence of those fake immortals are beyond my understanding, but it is an undeniable fact that two of them have destroyed the Heaven Heart Plateau, which has existed since this domain existed."
Chu Xingyan then asked. "Where's Ling Yun? Why didn't he stop those two fake immortals? With his abilities and the people around him, they should have been able to stop those people, right?"
"Do you remember the strong tremors that occurred a few days ago?" They nodded at Tian Jianshen. "Ling Yun took his people away from this domain, especially since those fake immortals were also targeting him. Some of them were indeed powerful and had the ability to defeat those people, such as the Life Goddess Sheng Ming. However, the majority of them were just weak cultivators, and he moved them to another domain for their safety."
"Which domain?"
"The former domain of the Primordial Chaos Dragon." All of them turned to Tu Shen directly. "I don't know the exact location of that domain, but I once stayed there for more than a month to help cultivate Ling Yun's first daughter, particularly because she was born with mutated spiritual veins similar to mine. I can say that this domain is the safest in this realm because it is protected by ancient formations created by Long Hun and Huang Lingzhu, making it impossible for anyone to break into it. Even if someone managed to break in, they would face thousands of beasts, most of which had already reached the Three Immortal Realms."
"Huang Lingzhu?"
"Huang Lingzhu is the Time Lord and the strongest immortal," Tu Shen then warned them. "They haven't managed to find Di Tousen, so I believe they will return to the domain to look for him again. With our current strength, we will never defeat them even if we make extensive preparations to face them, but we have no choice but to prepare, especially since there's a possibility that they will also attack us."
Long Nu and the others looked at Di Yuantian, especially since he was their main target, making him sigh heavily. "You guys don't need to protect me, but I sincerely hope that all of you will be willing to accommodate my disciples for now, especially since all of them are seriously injured."
"I will summon my disciples now, and I will ask them to bring your disciples to my sect." Tian Jianshen was the first to decide, and he immediately did it without thinking twice.
In the end, Long Nu and the other sect leaders also did the same. They asked disciples from their respective sects to bring Di Yuantian's disciples there.
"So, where exactly is Di Tousen? Why hasn't she appeared, despite the collapse of your floating island? Chu Xingyan questioned Di Yuantian.
Di Yuantian could only shake his head. "I've contacted my ancestor, but she hasn't responded to me, and I don't know her exact whereabouts. I think she's probably not in this domain, but I'm not sure, especially since she never mentioned her next move to me."
"What a selfish bitch!" All of them glared at Chu Xingyan, but she nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders. "Look at this place! This place is very messy, and all of these disciples are seriously injured. Moreover, those people came specifically to look for her, so she is the main cause of today's incident, but she chose to hide like a coward. Not to mention, she has her abilities, and she should have been able to prevent today's incident from happening by warning them much earlier, yet she didn't do that, right?
All of them agreed with Chu Xingyan, but Tu Shen then spoke to her. "You're not wrong about that, but you should know that the situation will be even more troublesome if Di Tousen falls into the hands of those fake immortals. What do you think will happen if they use her abilities, which are almost similar to those of the seers? Those people will find out things more easily, and they will devise plans far beyond our imagination, leaving us far more helpless to deal with them."
Chu Xingyan didn't refute Tu Shen, but she still thought that Di Tousen was a coward, especially since she chose to save herself and others suffered because of her.
Soon, many people arrived at the scene, all from various sects in the domain. Additionally, Huang Zhimei's parents, Huang Xiaotian and Xiao Huan, also arrived.
Xiao Huan immediately spoke to them, "It's not that Ling Yun doesn't want to help us, but he's facing some serious problems right now, so he needs to focus on those first."
"What do you mean by that, Xiao Huan?" Xuanyin Yue asked.
Xiao Huan released a soft sigh before telling them about the problems in the Thousand Beast Realm and some other things, including the movement of the Ancient Devil Race, which shocked them. "According to my daughter, Ling Yun is in the Ancestral Burial Domain right now to retrieve one of the body parts of the Primordial Chaos Dragon, and he is currently fighting with the souls of the ancient beasts that protect it."
"The Ancestral Burial Domain?" All of them looked increasingly shocked.
Long Nu then spoke. "I've been to that domain, especially since several of my ancestors were buried there. There wasn't a single living creature in that domain, and the entire area was filled with beast souls from the past. I once saw the soul of a dark phoenix there, and it was still very powerful even though only its soul remained. Moreover, the number of beast souls there is not small, and their number reaches into the millions. If he goes there alone, he will face many tough challenges from them, and he might die if he is not careful."
"Not to mention, those fake immortals are also targeting Ling Yun, and some of them might follow him to that domain, which makes his situation even more worrying," Tu Shen added.
Long Nu nodded in agreement. "Ling Yun is indeed the sole heir of the Primordial Chaos Dragon, but he's still not on par with his predecessor. Those beast souls are simply much stronger than him, and he will face great danger if those fake immortals also attack him."
"Ling Yun isn't alone there." Long Nu turned to Huang Xiaotian. "Zhimei told us that Huang Lingzhu sent two immortals to protect him from those fake immortals, but he had no choice but to face those beast souls himself, especially since he had to prove his worthiness to retrieve one of the Primordial Chaos Dragon's body parts from their custody."
"Since Ling Yun has been chosen as his heir, I'm sure he will succeed in taking it, but he needs to work hard to do that." Long Nu thought for a moment before flying away. "I'm quite familiar with the Ancestral Burial Domain, so I'll go there to help him."
"Her decision is truly unusual," Xuanyin Yue muttered as she looked at Long Nu, who continued flying away.
"Hahaha." Tu Shen laughed at that. "Long Nu is a dragon, remember? Although the Primordial Chaos Dragon isn't directly related to the dragon race, all dragons regard him as their ancestor. In fact, not only the dragon race but also all beast races regard him as their ancestor. Therefore, you shouldn't be surprised if she decides to go to that domain to help Ling Yun, and she might make it easier for him to obtain it."
Xuanyin Yue nodded in agreement. "After this, we have to start preparing, but I hope that those fake immortals will not come to this domain again."
"So, what are your plans now, Yuantian?" Tian Jianshen asked.
Di Yuantian released a heavy sigh. "I think I'll leave this domain for now, so those fake immortals won't come here, and they will come after me. This way, all of you and my disciples will be safe from them."
"I think it's pointless." Tian Jianshen and the others agreed with Tu Shen. "Their target is Di Tousen, so the only solution we have now is to find her. If we manage to find her, Xiaotian can contact his daughter, and we will send her to the Chaos Dragon Domain."
Huang Xiaotian nodded in agreement. "The problem is, where should we look for her?"
"There." Xiao Huan pointed north. "The most sacred place in this domain is the Heaven Tower, right? Since that place was destroyed a long time ago, I think she might be hiding there. Therefore, we have to go there now, and I hope she really is there."
"Let's go there now." Tu Shen and Tian Jianshen immediately flew towards the northern region, and the others followed behind.
