"The secret realm of the Netherworld Palace?"
Little Yan peered forward, filled with curiosity. She had resided in the Heavenly Origin Great World for a considerable period, though much of that time was dedicated to intense, secluded cultivation. Upon her initial arrival, however, she had explored the region extensively. This experience allowed her to recognize the Netherworld Palace within this great world as a highly distinctive and influential organization. Even the formidable Three Great Clans exercised caution in their dealings with them. Reports suggested this power possessed immense reach, extending across numerous life realms within several neighboring Immortal Domains. She couldn't help but wonder why her brother was present at the Netherworld Palace.
"I have an arrangement with an elder from the Netherworld Palace, so I've come to investigate," Lu Qing replied, sensing his sister's bewilderment. He then shifted his gaze toward the valley's entrance, patiently waiting. Despite possessing the current strength and mastery over the Space Dao to breach the secret realm without difficulty, he chose to show deference to the Netherworld Palace. While he harbored no affection for this Evil Path faction, he did not feel compelled to eradicate them entirely. After all, they did not exhibit the extreme malevolence of the Black and White Temple and held no personal grudges against him. Moreover, the words of the white-haired elder had planted a seed of doubt in Lu Qing's mind, suggesting this organization might be far more complex than it appeared. His objective in visiting this time was to ascertain their true intentions.
Lu Qing made no effort to conceal his presence, operating under the assumption that the Netherworld Palace, with their formidable capabilities, would detect him shortly. As anticipated, a ripple of spatial distortion emanated from the valley ahead, and moments later, several figures materialized. Leading the contingent was an elder clad in dark robes, his aura radiating the power of the Primordial Spirit Nine Tribulations Realm. "It is a distinct honor to welcome you, Supreme. Please accept our apologies for not extending a greeting from afar!" the black-robed elder proclaimed, bowing respectfully toward Lu Qing with a smile. Yet, beneath his composed exterior, a palpable apprehension simmered, as this individual's sudden appearance had been entirely unexpected.
The black-robed elder harbored profound reverence and a significant degree of fear towards Lu Qing. He had personally witnessed Lu Qing single-handedly confront and vanquish the Divine Thought Avatars of three Unity Realm Stage demons belonging to the Black and White Temple. The memory of the overwhelming power displayed during that encounter still sent shivers down his spine. Not long prior, he had received word from their Supreme Elder concerning the colossal energy waves emanating from the starry expanse – a clear indication of Lu Qing successfully navigating the Harmonization Tribulation. Furthermore, subsequent to this tribulation, Lu Qing had annihilated all six Unity Realm Stage elders from the Black and White Temple who had dared to ambush him! The gravity of this feat was amplified by the fact that he had eliminated their true forms, not merely their ethereal projections. This undeniably demonstrated that Lu Qing's current might had ascended to unfathomable heights. Even six formidable elders in the Unity Realm were no match for him. The arrival of such an exceptionally powerful and fearsome individual at the periphery of their Netherworld Palace secret realm, even though Lu Qing present was merely a Divine Thought Avatar, left the black-robed elder deeply unsettled. He recognized that if Lu Qing were to instigate conflict, no one within the entirety of the secret realm could possibly halt his advance.
"Is Qiu Ruofeng not present?" Lu Qing inquired, his brow furrowed upon observing the black-robed elder and his entourage. "Ah, so the Supreme seeks our Supreme Elder. We humbly apologize; the Supreme Elder's Divine Thought Avatar returned to our headquarters not long ago," the black-robed elder responded with utmost deference. "He actually departed?" Lu Qing expressed surprise, having presumed they would remain stationed there until his departure from the Heavenly Origin Great World. "However..." Noticing Lu Qing's displeased expression, the black-robed elder's heart leaped with alarm, fearing his anger. He quickly added, "Supreme, prior to his departure, the Supreme Elder instructed that should you require his presence, he could be summoned instantly via the cross-domain transmission array."
"There is no need," Lu Qing stated, shaking his head. "I shall seek him out myself shortly." Lu Qing possessed a cross-domain communication talisman, a memento from Qiu Ruofeng, enabling him to contact the elder at any time. His initial intention in visiting was based on the assumption that the elder was still within the Heavenly Origin Great World, and he had not anticipated his departure. Nevertheless, Lu Qing remained unperturbed by this turn of events. He then redirected his attention toward another individual present.
It was a captivating woman, adorned in a crimson gown, who was currently gazing at Lu Qing with a look of stunned admiration. Upon seeing her, Lu Qing offered a warm smile. "Master Tower, it has been quite some time." Indeed, the woman was Mo Hongyun. In the early days of Lu Qing's arrival in the Little Cang Realm, she had served as the esteemed chief Talisman Maker within the very Treasure Tower he had established.
The Netherworld Palace buzzed with astonishment as Lu Qing uttered her name, all eyes swiveling to the woman in question. Mo Hongyun, however, felt a tremor of delight course through her, her eyes sparkling. She had been gripped by the fear that Lu Qing had forgotten her, but this moment brought immense relief. With a graceful curtsy, she greeted, "Greetings, Young Master Lu, it has been a long time." "It appears the Tower Master has already resolved your Daoist Body," Lu Qing observed, "My congratulations." In the past, Mo Hongyun's unique physique had drawn the unwelcome attention of Miao Yu, a Supreme of the Joyful Union Sect, forcing her to flee the Heavenly Origin Great World to escape calamity. Now, witnessing her aura had ascended to the Primordial Spirit Realm, Lu Qing instantly recognized that she had achieved complete mastery over her constitution, eradicating the peril that once loomed. This realization, however, brought a sudden recollection to Lu Qing's mind: he still had an adversary, Miao Yu. During his years within the Heavenly Origin Great World, his focus had been solely on cultivation, causing him to overlook this particular individual. He resolved to ascertain Miao Yu's current location and put this matter to rest swiftly. Miao Yu, at best a Five Tribulation Cultivator of the Primordial Spirit Realm, shared a karmic link with him, making it a simple calculation for Lu Qing to pinpoint her whereabouts.
