Kui Hai and his companions realize their mistake and apologize to Wen Ping. The news of the Celestial Level Vein Technique and the high price of the Vortex Map spreads rapidly throughout Divine Flight City, establishing the Purple Treasure Pavilion as a major power. Fearing the Purple Treasure Pavilion's rise, the Thousand Crafts Sect and Zeming Palace agree to temporarily set aside their differences and form an alliance to stop its development.

"Rest assured, Peak Master, I will relay this message to the Palace Master unchanged." Since the Thousand Crafts Sect’s stance was clear, Mingzhu felt there was no need to stay and turned to leave.

Before Mingzhu left, Feng Xian Liuyi added, "Tell Palace Master Zhuo that if necessary, I, Feng Xian Liuyi, can go to Zeming Palace alone for a detailed discussion!"

Upon hearing this, Mingzhu’s steps faltered.

Visit Zeming Palace personally!

She never expected Feng Xian Liuyi to be so determined. After all, many people from Zeming Palace had died at her hands. Going to Zeming Palace was akin to walking into a trap.

It was evident that the Vortex Map and Vortex Killing Artifact from the Purple Device Pavilion exerted enormous pressure on the Thousand Crafts Sect.

"Understood by Mingzhu."

Mingzhu responded and, after bidding farewell, turned into a streak of light and left the Thousand Crafts Sect’s premises.

...

Purple Device Pavilion.

The auction had ended, but Si Haixian and the others were still basking in the joy it brought.

Those who acquired the Four-Vortex Vortex Map started absorbing it right there in the Purple Device Pavilion.

Wenping didn’t stop them, as long as nothing like what happened to Si Haixian occurred, it wouldn’t impact the Purple Device Pavilion.

"I’ll leave the Purple Device Pavilion in your care. If Master Zi Ran returns to the sect, you can also visit the sect." Wenping advised Celestial String before preparing to activate the Teleportation Array.

Just then, the Sound Transmission Stone in his pocket began to stir.

Wenping took out the Sound Transmission Stone.

Chen Xie’s voice immediately came through.

"Sect Leader, the resolve of the Thousand Crafts Sect and Zeming Palace to ally against us is strong, with the Thousand Crafts Sect particularly more determined than Zeming Palace. Given the current situation, an alliance between them is inevitable."

Upon hearing this, Wenping hadn’t yet reacted when Celestial String beside him frowned, also unable to believe the truth.

"How could they, having been opposing each other for hundreds of years, suddenly unite in peace?"

Chen Xie responded, "Elder Celestial String, don’t doubt it. The threat and fear brought by the Purple Device Pavilion are beyond what you imagine."

After explaining, Chen Xie further inquired to Wenping, "Sect Leader, should we send Black Shadow to follow them into Zeming Palace and the Thousand Crafts Sect to keep an eye on the Palace Master of Zeming Palace and the Sect Leader of Thousand Crafts Sect?"

"I happen to have some Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivator corpses you can convert into Black Shadows." Wenping paused for a few moments, then instructed, "Have they returned yet?"

"Not yet, but they’re already discussing their return." Chen Xie replied.

"Then let them return, and send Black Shadow to watch them. In any case, every move of Zeming Palace and the Thousand Crafts Sect must be monitored. It’s not yet extravagant to use Celestial Unrestricted corpses to convert Black Shadows, so when sending Black Shadows to watch over the Palace Master and Sect Leader, be careful. Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm cultivators can’t detect Black Shadows, but that doesn’t mean Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm cultivators can’t."

Though Wenping cautioned, he really didn’t care much about Zeming Palace and the Thousand Crafts Sect.

Why monitor them?

It’s just to prevent any flies from suddenly buzzing around and biting the Immortal Sect.

Even if bitten, it wouldn’t hurt but it’d certainly itch!

"Black Shadow?"

Celestial String beside him was a bit surprised.

Is this the means of the All-Knowing Tower?

Zeming Palace and Thousand Crafts Sect can really be watched!

No wonder the All-Knowing Tower claims to know everything!

"You’ll understand when you visit the Immortal Sect." Wenping faced Celestial String’s surprise without further explanation, instead continuing, "Have you informed Master Zi Ran about Mingzhu’s matter?"

"I already have! At the time, Master Zi Ran didn’t say much, just mentioned everything could be discussed after the auction ends."

"Understood. If there’s nothing else, carry on with your own matters." At this moment, Wenping dismissed the thought of immediately returning to the sect and instead decided to meet Zi Ran and You Yue first.

"Sect Leader, Elder Mulong might not hold out much longer. The Sky-Split Race seems to have awakened something stronger than the Demon Emperor. Just now, this will descended into the Howling Abyss from underground."

"Stronger than the Sky-Split Race Demon Emperor, above Heaven Unrestricted? What’s Mulong’s situation now?"

"Whether it’s above Heaven Unrestricted is unclear, probably we’ll only know when Elder Mulong returns. However, when the will descended, the billions of demons in the Sky-Split Race trembled, even the Demon Emperor with Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm strength wasn’t spared. Following that, the overall assault of the Sky-Split Race became several times more intense, indicating that the will commanded them to quickly kill Elder Mulong."

"Keep an eye on it, I’ll be back soon."

"Understood!"

After Chen Xie responded, Wenping put away the Sound Transmission Stone, then directed his gaze to Celestial String, who had a look of shock but didn’t dare to interrupt.

"Sect Leader, what’s the situation with the Howling Abyss and Sky-Split Race?" Celestial String found himself even more bewildered by the Immortal Sect.

He knew about the Howling Abyss.

Located in the Black Domain.

One of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands in Heaven-Gazing Gorge.

Rumor has it that even Heaven Unrestricted cultivators have only a one-in-ten survival chance if they get lost in it, illustrating its terrifying nature.

From Elder Chen Xie and the Sect Leader’s conversation, it seemed the Immortal Sect had an Elder Mulong fighting in the Howling Abyss and possibly even stirred a presence above Heaven Unrestricted.

Above Heaven Unrestricted...

He had heard of the realm, but didn’t know much—only knowing it represented the heavens above Heaven-Gazing Gorge!

The Sovereign of You Country and the Master of the Hidden Tower were said to be in this realm!

So the Immortal Sect wasn’t just supported by the Sect Leader and Sword Demon, the two Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm powerhouses.

There were even stronger existences!

Facing Celestial String’s doubt and astonishment, Wenping couldn’t be bothered to answer, replying indifferently, "If you’re truly curious, ask the other elders... If your power was even half as strong as your curiosity, you wouldn’t have been unable to withstand even a single punch from Feng Qian."

Saying this, he went back inside the Purple Device Pavilion, leaving Celestial String standing awkwardly at the spot. Yet, after the awkwardness, an unprecedented fierce determination surged in Celestial String’s heart—a determination to grow stronger!

Just speaking plainly.

He couldn’t even take one punch.

Two punches nearly cost him his life.

This was indeed a bit shameful.

Meanwhile, just as Wenping returned to the Purple Device Pavilion and sent off Kui Hai and the others, a member of the Long Family arrived.

Long Haomiao, along with Long Ye and three Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted elders, reached the third floor and bowed as soon as they saw Wenping.

"Long Haomiao of the Long Family, greets Sect Leader Wen! My father is occupied and cannot meet Sect Leader Wen in person, hence I ask Sect Leader Wen for understanding." Saying this, Long Haomiao glanced to his side, then hurriedly turned around, discovering Long Ye hiding behind him. He immediately ordered, "Second brother, come forward and pay respects to Sect Leader Wen!"

Having decided to establish good relations with the Immortal Sect, Long Haomiao naturally needed to position Long Ye at the forefront.

After all, Long Ye was now responsible for all matters in Divine Flight City.

Standing behind Long Haomiao, Long Ye originally intended to keep hiding, but was summoned by Long Haomiao, so he had no choice but to step forward again to bow to Wenping, pretending not to recognize him, saying, "Long Ye of the Long Family, greets Sect Leader Wen!"

"You rascal..." Seeing Long Ye simply utter one sentence, Long Haomiao was instantly exasperated, "Sect Leader Wen, forgive him for being shy and less articulate. Truth be told, all these days, he’s constantly mentioned you to me, speaking of his admiration for you, especially your sword strike that killed Bei Tianhan, which has made him worship you wholeheartedly. If not forbidden by my father, he’d want you as his master."

Long Haomiao’s torrent of flattery amused Wenping, who then smilingly asked Long Ye, "I never expected Young Master Long to admire this sect leader so much."

Seeing Wenping’s smile, hearing his words, Long Ye felt embarrassed and wanted to bury his head in a brick crevice.

So humiliating.

Big brother.

At least think through these tall tales.

With such baseless claims, wouldn’t it worsen his impression on Sect Leader Wen?

Big brother!

You’re running out of footing!
