Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1543: Greeting the Immortal Senior

The old man in coarse clothes looked solemn: “What exactly are you talking about, sir?”

At this moment, he dared not act rashly.

The white-clothed youth before him was too mysterious and eerie; how could he suddenly appear within the barrier?

Moreover, the barrier was completely intact.

That is to say, this youth definitely could not be from the Ancient Realm.

Could it be…

An astonishing possibility suddenly surfaced in his mind.

This is an immortal!

He must be an immortal from the Immortal Realm!

Only an immortal could reverse the path up the Panlong Immortal Steps all the way to the Ancient Realm, arriving beneath the Formless Tree.

Upon realizing it was an immortal, the old man’s expression immediately became excited.

“Greetings, venerable immortal.”

Without hesitation, the old man kneeled down, his expression unimaginably respectful.

Ye Yun smiled.

Unexpectedly, the old man mistook him for an immortal, which was quite interesting.

“Stand up…”

Ye Yun smiled faintly.

The old man stood up, his expression somewhat restrained.

“You’re from the Dragon Dao, aren’t you?” Ye Yun asked.

“Yes, venerable one, I indeed come from the Dragon Dao, and I am the only gatekeeper of the Panlong Immortal Steps, the last generation of gatekeepers…”

The old man said, his expression a bit gloomy at this moment.

Ye Yun said: “What do you mean by this?”

The old man was taken aback for a moment; this venerable immortal, who could come to the Lower Realm alone but was unaware of the Dragon Dao, must be from another faction.

“Venerable one, the Dragon Dao now only has me left. Over all these years, I have guarded the Panlong Immortal Steps, waiting for the successful evolution of the Formless Tree…”

The old man slowly said.

“Isn’t the Dragon Dao very strong in the Ancient Realm? Why are you the only one left?”

Ye Yun was surprised.

“Venerable one, since extremely ancient times, my clan members of the Dragon Dao have continuously ascended to immortality through the Panlong Immortal Steps, and by thirty million years ago, the last batch of clan members also left the Ancient Realm…”

The old man said honestly.

“Did Dragon Sky also leave?”

Ye Yun suddenly asked.

Since the old man had mistaken him for an immortal from the Immortal Realm, he took the opportunity to inquire about some past secrets.

“Dragon Sky? I didn’t expect the venerable would know about Dragon Sky?”

The old man was astonished.

Ye Yun smirked coldly: “What’s so strange about that?”

“No, no…”

The old man quickly tried to smooth things over, whispering: “The operation to ascend the Panlong Immortal Steps three thousand years ago was also fraught with risk; Dragon Sky didn’t make it in time. Later, the Panlong Immortal Steps were completely severed, and he disappeared, whereabouts unknown now…”

“Hmm…”

Ye Yun nodded silently.

From the old man’s words, several crucial pieces of information were revealed.

The first point is the Panlong Immortal Steps, which seems to be dilapidated, with some parts already broken. Forcing through poses significant dangers.

Thirty million years ago, some clan members of the Dragon Dao invited God Emperor Territory powerhouses from the Three Teachings Six Paths Nine Gates, naturally wanting to enhance their strength and improve their chances of passing the Panlong Immortal Steps.

The second point is Dragon Sky.

This guy, thirty million years ago, was probably still relatively weak and lacked the strength to pass the Panlong Immortal Steps.

Even if he grew stronger later, Dragon Sky, being just in the God-Emperor Realm, wouldn’t dare to venture alone on the perilous Panlong Immortal Steps.

As for his whereabouts now, no one knows.

“Venerable one, did you descend from the Panlong Immortal Steps, and if so, could you see the extent of the damage?”

The old man cautiously inquired.

“Hmm…”

Ye Yun put on a show of mimicry: “The damage is becoming more severe, and for you ants of the Lower Realm, passing through is exceedingly difficult!”

“Indeed, the Panlong Immortal Steps are becoming harder to traverse…”

The old man’s expression was dim, his head lowered, appearing very dejected.

Ye Yun extended a finger and performed the Stasis Technique.

The old man was immobilized.

Then Ye Yun activated the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye, invading the old man’s mind.

Inside his mind was a seven-star formation radiating light, blocking all possibilities of intrusion.

If Ye Yun were to invade.

This formation would inevitably self-destruct, causing the elder to perish as a result.

Ye Yun withdrew.

At this point, his expression was somewhat unpleasant; the only clan member of the Dragon Dao had actually been implanted with a seven-star formation.

It seems it’s not just Dragon Sky who is so cautious, but the entire Nine-tailed Divine Dragon Clan as well.

The Stasis Technique was released.

The old man returned to his previous dejected state, completely unaware that someone had just probed him.

“Venerable one, this time I invited all God Emperor Territory powerhouses of the Ancient Realm to ascend the Panlong Immortal Steps. Hearing what you said, I feel our chances of success are too slim…”

The old man sighed.

Ye Yun’s expression shifted, asking with great interest, “Are you so eager to go to the Immortal Realm?”

“Venerable one, the Ancient Realm is just the Lower Realm. Reaching the God-Emperor Realm is already the pinnacle; to advance further is utterly impossible. Hence, not yearning for the Immortal Realm is impossible for us. For the Immortal Realm, I have waited for thirty million years…”

The old man smiled bitterly.

“I could take you to the Immortal Realm, but…”

Ye Yun laughed, leaving the sentence unfinished.

What?

The venerable immortal is willing to take me to the Immortal Realm?

Upon hearing this, the old man was immediately overjoyed.

“Venerable one, as long as you take me to the Immortal Realm, I’ll do anything!”

The old man knelt again.

“You’re just an ant from the Lower Realm; I really don’t have anything for you to do…”

Ye Yun laughed heartily.

This remark immediately caused the old man to panic once more.

Having finally gained such an opportunity, would he lose it because he had nothing to offer?

The old man pondered, realizing indeed he had nothing noteworthy to offer.

The Dragon Dao had only him left; many resources were taken by the clan members, and the remaining resources were in his possession.

Even if those resources were offered, the venerable immortal might not regard them highly.

Perhaps being overly anxious, a spark of inspiration flashed in his mind, like grasping a life-saving straw.

He hurriedly lifted his head, loudly proclaiming: “Venerable, I might offer a piece of valuable information!”

“What valuable information?”

Ye Yun’s face showed a hint of interest.

“Venerable, our Ancient Realm possesses a highly powerful treasure that, in ancient times, even immortals coveted, but eventually, this treasure flew away…”

The old man proclaimed loudly.

“What treasure could make other immortals yearn for it?”

Ye Yun spoke calmly.

“It is the Giant Demon Clan’s Mount Xumi, an extremely mystical treasure. By ranking, it surpasses God level. After our Dragon Dao acquired it, we attempted to refine it but failed. Mount Xumi killed many of my clan members and flew away as a dark light!”

The old man eagerly stated.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun’s eyebrows twitched, and he laughed out loud.

Unexpectedly, the old man knew the whereabouts of Mount Xumi.

And what he said matched precisely with the situation Ye Yun encountered in the Black Abyss before.

This confirmed that.

Ye Yun’s previous conjectures about the Black Abyss were absolutely correct.

He laughed and asked, “Where is Mount Xumi now?”

“After our extensive investigation, Mount Xumi flew away, breaking through the barrier between worlds and entered the Divine Land…”

The old man responded without hesitation.
