Chapter 1110: Chapter 693: Volume 13 of the Immortal List, Taixu Pill Emperor Ascends the List_2

```

"Shen Yi still has important matters to attend to and must leave first."

After bidding farewell, he turned and vanished into the Taixu, similarly departing from Hongze.

Originally, he had only planned to go to Shenxu Mountain to refine some elixirs, never expecting so many twists and turns in his life. Let’s not forget, in the Great Nan Continent’s nine prefectures, now there is only Wushan vigilantly watching...

As Shen Yi and Ye Lan’s figures disappeared on the horizon,

Zi Yang and others had long since grown accustomed to this behavior.

Sect Master Shen has always acted this way, yet whenever an incident arises, he never fails to appear.

In contrast, the clamor among the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals grew more fervent.

Donning this silver armor, they are envoys of the Immortal Court, but once they remove their armor, aren’t they all cultivators as well, differentiated only by their connection to the Three Religions.

Regarding such a grand event of cultivation, they naturally took great interest, and coupled with Hongze’s current state, the so-called investigation was likely just going through the motions. The soldiers and generals weren’t overly strict and, after forming ranks, many had already taken out their Communication Jade Scrolls.

In the midst of the noise, gradually a name began to circulate.

...

Great Nan Continent.

In a loft, two Generals of Southern Defense sat side by side, with several temporarily idle Titled Generals below them.

"Taixu Pill Emperor?"

Yang Mingli flipped open the document in hand, slightly raising an eyebrow.

After all, the Demon Slayer Bureau couldn’t avoid dealing with the Immortal Sects, so it was necessary to stay informed about those cultivators’ affairs, although most were treated merely as amusing tales, to be regarded with interest.

This title sounded vaguely familiar.

It inexplicably brought to mind Dan Peak of Shenxu Mountain where Ye Lan was from; if not mistaken, the position of Peak Master there had just been handed over to the newly appointed General Nanyang.

Could it be...

"You should continue reading."

A Titled General seemed to have guessed Lord Yang’s thoughts; after all, they had also speculated in that direction when they first received the news.

Yang Mingli’s gaze swept over the entire document, then his eyebrows lightly raised again.

Above the Grand Marsh, the Taixu Pill Emperor engaged in combat with Qingluan of Tianwu, employing mysterious techniques, and ultimately snapped off the Immortal Wutong branch by hand.

His gaze settled on the name Qingluan.

If memory served, during a casual conversation, he had even brought up this pride of the Three Immortals Sect.

If the speculations were true, and the Three Religions really harbored intentions to act in the Mortal Realm, this individual was undoubtedly a key General not to be dismissed.

Now, this General had met his demise.

Concerning Qingluan, this was no longer a matter that the two inexperienced generals under Old Man Yan could be involved in.

"Tsk, what a pity. If it were like the old days before the split, we would certainly need to seek clarification from Yan Lan," another Titled General smacked his lips.

Qingluan was such an eminent figure that even the Seven Treasures Bodhisattva would send an invitation to preach to this younger generation.

Renowned across the entire Three Immortals Sect, he was the disciple from Tianwu Mountain most likely to obtain the Daluo Dao Fruit.

Even he has suffered defeat; how terrifying then must the Taixu Pill Emperor on the opposite side be, a figure of whom we had never heard before.

"..."

Yang Mingli glanced over indifferently, and the Titled General, aware of his slip, quickly retreated back into the crowd with an awkward smile.

Feng Xi lifted her gaze, timely taking over the discussion: "The Three Religions have just created a situation and now can’t help but start fighting for the fruits. Such a tactic of nurturing gu, those who survive till the end must be true dragons and phoenixes among men, with an imposing presence that dominates their peers."

The mere thought was daunting.

So many Immortal Sects had cultivated top-tier prodigies, to gather all these people and vie for the strongest among them, both their strength and character must be of the highest caliber indeed.

What’s even more difficult to accept is that even these young individuals with great prospects can’t restrain their eagerness; what they are vying for must be something far from ordinary.

Could it be that they covet the position of Human Emperor, aspiring to become the new sovereign of the Human World?

"Let them fight."

Yang Mingli put away the document, leaned back in his chair, and then closed his eyes, "The major trend is unstoppable, but it will take time for those Immortal Sects to determine the victor, which gives us a breather. Perhaps by the time they are engulfed in strife, the world may not have descended into chaos, but the Three Religions might have already."

The Three Religions were never a cooperative force.

The Bodhi Sect contained many Bodhisattvas, each leading their own faction, and the Three Immortals Sect was even more so, with many Daluo Immortal Venerables’ lineages that were antagonistic to one another; they harbored lifelong enmity and did not engage with each other.

Just like Tianwu Mountain and Shenxu Mountain, they never had any serious enmity, but because they always struggled to determine who was superior, their relationship was never very good.

```

Now the distinction has been made, but can one truly tolerate the beheading of their direct descendant, even if it was the Daluo Immortal Venerable?

To merely watch as one loses the chance to partake in this calamity, will Tianwu Mountain contently await the leftover scraps distributed by others when the Three Religions share the fruits of Dao?

What a joke, I’m afraid even the ancestor would not be able to hold back from facing the calamity himself!

"Include him."

Yang Mingli tossed the neatly folded petition to the Titled General.

The Demon Slayer Bureau supervises Shen Zhou, and these Heavenly Prides are certainly not the ones they would overlook.

Listed on the roster, to be given special attention.

"My Lord, where has he fallen?" The Titled General, catching the petition, asked curiously.

"He replaces Qingluan, entering the top five of the first list."

After all, the full details of the news were not completely clear, and it was unknown what the circumstances were like when both parties clashed. Yang Mingli assigned this Taixu Pill Emperor the position belonging to Tianwu’s Qingluan, which was already a great deal of importance.

This list was even being watched by the Imperial Court; to say it caught the eye of the Human Emperor would not be an exaggeration.

"When you have time, go ask Yan Lan and General Nanyang, see if you can find out more."

Feng Xi added, despite the fact that both of them had been in the Imperial Court all year round and might not know more about the Three Immortals Sect than others, having that one channel of information was still better than none.

It was much more convenient for the two of them to inquire than for the rest of the Demon Slayer Bureau’s agents.

...

Now that even the Demon Slayer Bureau had received the news, not to mention the many Immortal Sects.

The news of Qingluan’s death spread like wildfire and had become the most sensational topic in the Three Religions in recent days.

The name Taixu Pill Emperor, although appearing for the first time, was essentially the revered title passed from mouth to mouth among the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, with only the barest hint of pointing to their roots.

Being one of the protagonists in this event.

At this moment, six Peak Masters of Shenxu Mountain gathered in the great hall, all exchanging glances of uncertainty.

It sounded like it was one of their own, yet like the other Immortal Sects, they were also hearing this name for the first time.

"Heavenly Pill?"

Qian Feng, the Taoist, looked around and quickly called out a name.

Among the Eight Great Peak Masters, apart from Mu Yang, who had quietly left the mountain and whose whereabouts were unknown, only Shen Yi could fit these four words of Taixu Pill Emperor.

"He is capable of killing Qingluan?!" Jin Xue, the Taoist, exclaimed with wide eyes.

Even if the eldest disciple took action, it was uncertain if he could decisively defeat Qingluan, especially with the addition of the latter’s Immortal Seal. Despite the overwhelming power of the Taixu Golden Thunder, being the most counter to the Grade Dao Fruit of Tianwu Mountain, a real confrontation would likely see the eldest disciple retreat into the Taixu within half a day to avoid the brunt.

In Jin Xue’s mind, if one did not consider the status, Shen Yi was still nothing more than a junior, not much different from Liu Ruifeng.

"Multiplied by rumor, the spread of this message now means that if not Shenxu Mountain, it must be Shenxu Mountain," said the Golden Thunder Taoist, looking indifferently outside the hall.

"Eldest brother, what do we do?" Another Peak Master gave a wry smile. It was true that Shenxu Mountain and Tianwu Mountain did not get along, and things were unpleasant, but indeed, their rivalry had not yet developed into a vendetta.

Everyone fell silent.

For some reason, Shen Yi’s recent alchemy had been accompanied by a dazzling radiance, far surpassing that of Liu Ruifeng. Still, the Sect Master had entered his deep slumber even faster than before.

"What to do?"

After a long contemplation, the Golden Thunder Taoist spoke in a hoarse voice, "We follow the Sect Master’s instructions."

Since the Sect Master had personally issued the Jade Order, instructing them to safeguard the Heavenly Pill, that decree could not be altered.

Even if it wasn’t Shen Yi who acted, Shenxu Mountain would still bear this burden!

Moreover, this matter also reminded him of another.

That involved Mu Yang, who recently left Shenxu Mountain. His departure coincided much too conveniently, perhaps with malicious intent behind it.

The Golden Thunder Taoist initially did not consider this aspect because if Mu Yang indeed took action, Shen Yi and Ye Lan would most likely not return.

But now it seemed less certain.

If Shen Yi truly possessed the strength to slay Qingluan...

The Golden Thunder Taoist pondered in silence, yet his expression remained unmoved.

Even if it was fratricide among sect members, with Mu Yang dead, according to the Sect Master’s will, the Heavenly Pill was more important.

The entire Shenxu Mountain had to act according to the Sect Master’s intentions!
