"This is an ancient powerhouse. Her cultivation is extremely high. Even among the god-level powerhouses, she is considered one of the top existences," the young cultivator said with a look of reverence.
"The power of an ancient powerhouse is indeed something that the later generations cannot hope to match." Xiao Lingyu nodded in agreement.
"I heard you say 'Nuwa' just now. In fact, these two words are the honorific title of this ancient senior. However, even now, the top powerhouses of the Immortal World don't know these two words. How did you know, Fellow Daoist?" the young cultivator asked with narrowed eyes.
"I saw it in an ancient book that I came across by chance." Xiao Lingyu lied.
"Haha, I see."
The young cultivator smiled and said casually, "I thought that Fellow Daoist came from the same place as this ancient powerhouse."
Xiao Lingyu's expression did not change much. She only seemed to be curious and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist know where this ancient powerhouse came from?"
The young cultivator said, "Of course I do. She is the founder of our Inquiry Organization. How can we not know the origins of our ancestor?"
Xiao Lingyu continued, "The ancient book did not mention this senior's origins. I wonder if Fellow Daoist can tell us a little about it?"
The young cultivator tapped his finger rhythmically on the table. After a moment of silence, he said, "The ancestor's matters should not be revealed to outsiders. However, the ancestor is no longer in the Immortal World. Moreover, she is a person with great magical powers. Even if some information about her is leaked, there won't be any problems. Moreover, since Fellow Daoist can see the ancestor in the ancient book, I think you are fated to meet her … The ancestor came from Earth."
Xiao Lingyu's expression was still very calm. She said, "I heard in the Cultivation World that many powerful people in ancient times came from Earth."
The young cultivator nodded and asked, "Fellow Daoist, where did you come from?"
Xiao Lingyu had already expected the other party to ask, so she replied without any hesitation, "A continent that is not very famous in the Cultivation World."
This answer was too general. It was equivalent to not answering at all.
The young cultivator wasn't dissatisfied with this answer and immediately said, "Has Your Excellency confirmed my identity?"
Xiao Lingyu straightforwardly threw a storage pouch on the table and said, "There are two million immortal crystals here, please check."
The young cultivator looked into the storage bag with his immortal sense, then put it away and said, "Tell me the characteristics of the person you're looking for. It's best if you can show me an image."
Xiao Lingyu placed a jade slip on the table just like she did in the room on the second floor of the mercenary branch. The jade slip contained the introduction of Anya and Anya's image.
"Keep this jade token well. As long as we complete our mission, this jade token will shatter. Then, you can go to any of the major cities in the Immortal Plane to look for our spies. You'll know where to find her," the young cultivator said, placing a jade token on the table.
Xiao Lingyu took the jade token and carefully sensed it. He found that there was a soul imprint on it. Only then did he understand the young cultivator's meaning.
After the spies completed their mission, they actually used the method of killing a person to remind Xiao Lingyu that the jade token was a soul jade token.
"Don't worry. He is someone who deserves to be killed. Our Investigative Organization has imprisoned many such fellows. It would be a pity to kill him for nothing. Thus, we decided to make use of him." The young cultivator, who had seemingly seen through Xiao Lingyu's thoughts, explained.
Xiao Lingyu wasn't a soft-hearted person, so he naturally wouldn't think much of it. After putting away the jade token, he didn't rush to leave. Instead, he said, "Can you tell me some stories about the experts on Earth?"
The young cultivator smiled and asked, "Are you very curious about this?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, "I'm a little curious. It's mainly because I read an ancient book that described the cultivators on Earth to be very powerful. I want to know more."
The young cultivator said, "If it's just out of curiosity, it's better not to know too much."
Xiao Lingyu frowned and didn't understand. "Why is that?"
The young cultivator smiled faintly and said, "It's better for us to talk business. If you didn't call out the name of the ancestor, I wouldn't have said those things to you. Fellow Daoist, please go back. If you're fated to encounter some things, you'll naturally come across them. "
Xiao Lingyu thought about it, but he still swallowed some of his words and went downstairs.
He originally wanted to say that he was also from Earth, but he didn't have any evidence to prove it. Moreover, he wasn't sure what the young cultivator's relationship with Earth was. Thus, after much consideration, he gave up on this plan.
After leaving the shop, Xiao Lingyu was at a loss.
The task of finding Anya had been handed over to the two major forces in the Immortal World. With their help, he didn't have to worry too much about this matter. However, what should he do next?
I have to continue cultivating and prepare to break through to the fifth transformation of the Nine Revolution Chaos Formula. The expert from the Demon World who was invincible in the Three Realms in the past will regain his strength in a million years. The life essence that he left in my body will also disappear along with my life essence. If I don't cultivate diligently, I'm afraid after a million years …
Thinking about this, Xiao Lingyu's face became more determined.
After all, this East Imperial Continent was the place where the ancestors of Earth cultivated. Xiao Lingyu didn't have any better place to go. Thus, he was prepared to stay here and cultivate diligently while waiting for news from the two major forces.
Even if he wanted to stay, he couldn't stay in the East Imperial Continent forever. Right now, his focus was to break through to the Immortal Lord Realm and help the strange cub to advance to the Monarch Realm.
First, he purchased a jade slip with the map of the East Imperial Continent. After checking it, Xiao Lingyu left the East Imperial Continent and headed to the other nearby cities.
The East Imperial Continent had a vast surface area, and it was naturally not the only city in the East Imperial Continent. In order to not attract any attention, Xiao Lingyu decided to sell the remaining sand crystals in other cities and use them to exchange for a large amount of immortal crystals for him to purchase some special materials.
However, the distance between the cities in the East Imperial Continent was generally very far. Xiao Lingyu didn't want to use his Spiritual Abode on such a prosperous continent. Thus, it was inevitable that some time would be wasted.
Although he was in a hurry to cultivate, Xiao Lingyu didn't care about this little bit of time. After two years, he only had a little more than a hundred sand crystals left. His storage artifact also had an additional five million immortal crystals.
"I'll go to another city. Then, I can sell all these immortal crystals. I can also go to the East Imperial Continent to start collecting some materials."
With this hope, Xiao Lingyu rushed to the next city at full speed.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to reach his destination in two days, Xiao Lingyu was stopped by a group of cultivators.
The leader of this group of cultivators was an early-stage Immortal Monarch. He first sized up Xiao Lingyu and then asked coldly, "Sir, what are you trying to do by trespassing into the territory of the Nan Hua Immortal Sect?"
"Nan Hua Immortal Sect? This place is 100,000 miles away from the encampment of the Nan Hua Immortal Sect. How can you say that I'm trespassing? "Xiao Lingyu frowned and asked.
The Nan Hua Immortal Sect's location was naturally marked in the jade slip map. Xiao Lingyu wasn't an arrogant person. He wasn't someone who liked to cause trouble. Why would he trespass into the territory of an immortal sect? This route had been carefully calculated by him.
"Hmph, since you dare to trespass into the territory of our Nan Hua Immortal Sect, why are you feigning ignorance? This place has been under our Nan Hua Immortal Sect's territory for 50 years!" The Immortal Monarch snorted coldly.
Xiao Lingyu knew that it was very common for a large sect to expand its territory. Therefore, he didn't dwell on this issue. Instead, he said apologetically, "I'm not a cultivator from around here. Therefore, I didn't know that your immortal sect had made great progress. Please make an exception for me. I'll leave right now."
As he spoke, Xiao Lingyu tactfully handed over a storage pouch.
There were a thousand Immortal Crystals in the storage pouch, which was not a small sum.
"Hmph! Where do you think our Nan Hua Immortal Sect is? How can you come and go as you please? "
What Xiao Lingyu didn't expect was that the Immortal Monarch didn't let him go even after taking his storage pouch. Instead, he seemed to want to make things worse.
"Then what do you want?" Xiao Lingyu asked with narrowed eyes.
"Nothing. I just want you to come with us to our sect's encampment. You can leave after you've made things clear," the Immortal Monarch said calmly.
"What's there to talk about? Even if this is really your Nan Hua Immortal Sect's territory, why didn't I see any of your people guarding the perimeter before I came in? Why did you wait until I came in and then say that I'm trespassing? You said that this is your territory. Why didn't you make a sign? "Xiao Lingyu was a little angry and questioned coldly.
"I advise you not to get too worked up. This is our territory. I just need to send out a signal, and Immortal Emperor experts will come. Then, you'll have a hard time. Why don't you come with me obediently?" The Immortal Monarch said with a threatening tone.
The Nan Hua Immortal Sect was indeed a top sect on the East Imperial Continent. There were indeed more than one Immortal Emperor experts in the sect.
"I suspect that you're not from the Nan Hua Immortal Sect. You're robbers!"
Xiao Lingyu's aura began to rise. Since the Immortal Monarch threatened him, he had to let him know that he wasn't to be trifled with.
"What? You still want to fight? I think you're tired of living! "
The Immortal Monarch sneered and shot out a stream of light into the sky.
The stream of light shot into the sky, and then suddenly exploded, like fireworks blooming.
Xiao Lingyu didn't think that the Immortal Monarch was a disciple of the Nan Hua Immortal Sect. Therefore, he didn't hold back. The Extreme Speed Wings appeared on his back and he rushed forward.
"You want to rush out? It's not that easy! "
The Immortal Monarch shot out an immortal talisman and spat out a ray of light.
