Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 1556

Chapter 1556 – Hong Lu’s visit, Golden Crow Great Luo

Yang Junshan and Celestial Sovereign rode the long river spirit boat. They did not head south to Sangzhou, but first headed west to fire valley, and were preparing to bring Miao Banxian with them.

But when Yang Junshan and the rest arrived at the fire valley, they met someone familiar from the Yanzhou.

“Fellow Daoist Hong Lu?”

Yang Junshan was surprised when he saw the newcomer.

Although the Yanzhou’s sea of fire had already been discovered and divided between the various powers, at the very beginning of the formation of the Yanzhou’s Star Palace, after the foreign forces lost their world barrier, there were no longer any obstacles in their way to enter and exit the Yanzhou’s Star Palace. Not only did the situation not get assessed, it seemed that it would worsen at any time.

At this critical moment, as the only two immortals in the Burning Heaven Clan, who were in charge of strengthening their own forces in the sect, why would Immortal Hong Lu leave the Yanzhou Star Palace at this time to find him?

~ It can’t be that Burning Heaven Clan is in danger of being destroyed, right?

Yang Junshan guessed without malice.

It could be seen that under the pressure of the foreign forces, the Four Great Sects knew how to protect themselves, and there was no reason for them to fall out at this time.

Strictly speaking, Yang Junshan and Immortal Hong Lu were of the same generation, so Yang Junshan addressed Immortal Hong Lu’s master as “Senior”.

However, as the gap in their cultivations continued to widen, even Immortal Chihuo had to show respect to Yang Junshan when he first met him, let alone the disciples of Immortal Chihuo.

Furthermore, the dividing up of the Yuzhou’s origin, the Profound Yellow Cloud Sea, had already been long ago. Even now, because of the Circulation Realm, the states which had split up and evolved into Star Palaces, with the distance between them constantly expanding in the sky, it was still enough to transmit the news of Yang Junshan entering the Great Luo Wonderland and suppressing many forces within and outside of the domain to the Yanzhou.

“Hong Lu greets the Jun Shan Celestial Sovereign, congratulations on reaching the Great Luo Wonderland!”

Hong Lu’s actions were respectful but there was also a bit of formality within it.

Seeing that, Yang Junshan laughed: Brother Hong Lu, why are you being so courteous? May I know the reason for this visit? ”

Seeing that Yang Junshan’s expression was gentle and did not have any haughty attitude, most of the restraint on Hong Lu’s body had disappeared.

However, he was not an ignorant person. Although Yang Junshan was of the same generation as him, he could not hit a snake with a stick.

Hearing Yang Junshan’s inquiry, Hong Lu continued to speak respectfully: “Hong Lu has come for the Celestial Sovereign’s protection this time.”

Yang Junshan stared blankly for a moment. Although he had guessed that the Burning Heaven Clan might be in danger and he couldn’t help but bear some ill intentions, he didn’t think that he would actually hit the mark.

Yang Junshan’s expression could not help but become somewhat more serious, and said: “Brother Hong Lu, tell us in detail, what exactly happened?”

“Reporting to Celestial Sovereign, we suspect that there is a Great Net Realm Great Divine Cultivator hidden in the Huang County!”

As expected, the moment Hong Lu opened his mouth, he brought Yang Junshan news that was enough to shock him.

“What?”

Although Yang Junshan did not lose his composure because of this, he still revealed a look of shock and suspicion. Although he did not believe it, but seeing how confident Hong Lu was, he could not immediately deny it.

After Hong Lu said this news, he seemed to have let go of the burden in his heart and spoke with a slightly excited expression. He told Yang Junshan everything that happened when he infiltrated Huang County when the Origin Fire Sea appeared in full detail.

Yang Junshan thought for a while, then said: “That is to say, at that time, Fellow was unable to truly confirm that person’s identity, and was only suspicious? Please forgive me for my bluntness, but from what I know, although Sector lord was unable to stop the evolution of the realm and the might of the Haotian’s mirror had already been reduced, it does not mean that Sector lord did not have the slightest bit of control over the Circulatory World. For an existence of an alien Great Luo Wonderland to avoid Sector lord’s perception might not be easy at all. ”

“Maybe the alien Great Divine Cultivator that’s hiding in the prefectural city of Huanghuang is just a Golden Immortal?” Yang Junshan said again.

Even though Yang Junshan did not say it directly, he was actually expressing a thought. After all, Hong Lu had just advanced to become a Primordial Immortal Sovereign. To be able to scare him away with just a single breath, it wasn’t necessarily true for a Immortal Celestial Lord, even if it was just a Golden Immortal.

Hong Lu might not know about the huge gap between the Primordial Immortal Realm and Golden Body Wonderland, but Yang Junshan was extremely clear about it.

From the early stage of Golden Body Wonderland to the formation of the five elements, to the mastery of the five energies, to the peak of the five energies, almost every stage would be able to create an enormous difference.

Hong Lu had already calmed down from his previous state of excitement. Upon hearing Yang Junshan’s words, he knew that he did not believe him, and so he said: “Actually, when I returned from Huang County and reported this matter to the masters of the four sects, I also believed that the person hiding in Huang County was a Golden Immortal. However, what happened afterwards left us with no choice but to doubt the judgement that was made at the beginning.”

“Oh?” Yang Junshan’s expression turned solemn, and asked: “What happened?”

“Order!”

Hong Lu heavily spat out two words, then explained, “After the origin of the sea of fire has been divided, the spatial passageway of the Earth Fire Abyss Prison would have been completely integrated into the starry sky, with foreign powers constantly entering the Yanzhou, many of them being in the Primordial Immortal Realm, and even some being in the Golden Immortal Realm. Furthermore, these foreign Great Divine Cultivator s belong to different races, and they aren’t in harmony with one another.

Hong Lu paused for a moment, and seeing that Yang Junshan was seriously listening to his explanation, he continued: “In fact, even before the date of the Heaven Transforming World, the foreign forces of the Yanzhou had never been at peace, fighting and killing each other without rest. This is also the fundamental reason why our local sects were able to retreat and guard the three counties of the Yanzhou after our vitality had been greatly damaged.”

Yang Junshan could not help but nod his head when he heard it, but upon seeing this, Hong Lu continued: “But this time it is very different. According to the information that we gathered in various parts of the Yanzhou, those foreign Great Divine Cultivatoll seemed to have been summoned, and they all gathered at the Huang County. After returning, they all seemed to have come to an agreement with each other, and brought their respective forces to different regions to define their boundaries.

“We have interacted with the foreign forces for many years and have a good understanding of their ways of doing things. Most of the time, the strong eat the weak and the strong are respected. Unless there is an existence whose strength and status is enough to suppress all the forces of the Foreign Lands, including those of Primordial Immortal and the Golden Body Wonderland … ”

Yang Junshan’s expression was extremely solemn and respectful at the moment. It had to be said that Hong Lu’s analysis was very logical, to be able to suppress all the different races and powers from outside this region.

Thinking about it, Yang Junshan suddenly thought of something, and asked: “Since fellow cultivator has been to Huang County, have you made any guesses about the identity of that mysterious?”

Hong Lu’s face reddened, and said hesitantly: “I’m not afraid of the Celestial Sovereign’s jokes, at that time, I was completely intimidated by the other party’s aura and only had the word ‘escape’ in my mind.

Hearing this, Yang Junshan laughed out loud, and said: “Looks like Fellow Daoist Hong Lu has already guessed his identity. Speaking of which, I have sparred with that mysterious once.”

Hong Lu first looked at Yang Junshan in shock, but Yang Junshan did not elaborate. Hong Lu, who had reacted, quickly replied, “Since Celestial Sovereign has already confirmed it in his heart, Hong Lu is here to plead for Celestial Sovereign to help us once again in times of crisis due to the fact that we are of the same branch in the Circulatory Cycle Faction.”

Yang Junshan did not directly answer, but slightly frowned as he thought about something.

Although Hong Lu was anxious in his heart, he did not dare show it on his face, nor did he dare to urge them on.

Seeing that, Celestial Sovereign, who had not spoken up all this while, opened his mouth to interrupt Yang Junshan’s train of thought, and laughed: “What is this noble one thinking, fellow cultivator Hong Lu is still waiting for your reply.”

Yang Junshan reacted with a “Wu” sound, but Hong Lu, who was at the side, consecutively said “I don’t dare”.

Yang Junshan laughed: “Fellow can be rest assured, these words do not mean that I have underestimated the various sects in Yanzhou, but in my opinion, that Golden Crow Clan’s Great Divine Cultivator is not here for the Yanzhou, if not, he would not have hidden himself until now. Furthermore, fellow, do not underestimate the background of our Circulatory World, rest assured that we will return and pay respects to Senior Chi Yan on behalf of me, in the future if I have the time, I will definitely visit and disturb you.”

Hearing that, Hong Lu was overjoyed, and immediately said: “Since the Celestial Sovereign is here, we will definitely feel the glory of your presence, and at that time we will definitely sweep the floor and wait patiently.”

With Yang Junshan’s promise, Hong Lu could finally return without worrying. In fact, the current situation in Yanzhou did not allow him to leave for long.

After Hong Lu left, he took Miao Banxian’s long river spirit boat and turned south, traversing the void between the Xishan Continent and Star Domain of the Yao County. After traversing through the Yao County, they had to leave the vicinity of the Yuzhou’s Star Palace.

Yang Junshan and Yang Hua sat facing each other, while Miao Banxian, who was an honorary disciple, stood by the side and brewed spirit tea for the two Celestial Sovereign s.

When Yang Hua saw that after he left, Yang Junshan had been deep in thought and could not help but ask with a smile, “Was this sovereign guessing how the mysterious Golden Crow Great Divine Cultivator of the prefectural city of Huang, who was suspected to be a Immortal Celestial Lord, managed to avoid the Haotian’s mirror’s surveillance?”

Yang Junshan let out a “Wu” sound, picked up the spirit tea from before and drank it, then said: “This is noroblem, how is it possible for the noble Golden Crow Demon Emperor’s clan to not have a few secret techniques and abilities? Not to mention the Fusang Tree! Don’t forget, that cultivator Di Ying from the Golden Crow Clan from back then once collected a few Fusang Trees from the everlasting dense forest. ”

Yang Hua still had more to ask, but Yang Junshan had already opened his mouth: “Actually, I am more interested in that Golden Crow Great Divine Cultivator’s scheme to hide the Yellow Province. I have a feeling that he doesn’t care about a mere Yanzhou’s land, it is possible that he is here for the Immortal Palace.”

The three of them flew diagonally downwards, and after an unknown amount of time, the split outline of the Sangzhou gradually appeared in the sky.
