Immortal of the Nine Realms

Elder Xu and others showed respectful expressions, deeply impressed by Fang Chen. The moment Fang Chen returned, he had revitalized the Grand Thousand Dao Sect by uprooting the Profound Ghost Dao Sect. Ever since he arrived, it was as if a withered tree had sprouted new life.

Furthermore, beyond respecting him, they were also profoundly grateful to him. Because of their deep affection for the Grand Thousand Dao Sect, they were unwilling to see it decline.

Fang Chen smiled and nodded. "No need for formalities."

He turned to Pei Qingfeng and said, " Nephew Pei, may I have a word with you?"

Leaving the hall with Pei Qingfeng, Fang Chen got straight to the point and asked, "Nephew, do you happen to know the Ancestor of the Greenwood Sect?"

Pei Qingfeng looked puzzled. "The Greenwood Sect?"

He respectfully replied, "I do not know which sect you are referring to. Is it within the Azure Dao Prefecture?"

"You don't know it…?" murmured Fang Chen. He then elaborated, "The Greenwood Sect is an Immortal Manor located within the boundaries of Immortal Dynasty."

"An Immortal Manor? Wouldn't that mean it has a Profound Immortal?" Pei Qingfeng was surprised and sighed. "I probably wouldn’t be able to recognize such a sect. Such high-level figures probably wouldn't spare a glance at the Grand Thousand Dao Sect."

"You're mistaken. The Ancestor of the Greenwood Sect is aware of the Grand Thousand Dao Sect and knows that this place is the ancestral site of the Three Thousand Dao Sect." Fang Chen gently shook his head. "I was only able to reach here because he guided me."

Pei Qingfeng was somewhat astonished. He had never left Azure Dao Prefecture in his entire life, but he knew that the distance between Azure Dao Manor and Immortal Dynasty was considerable, even for a Nascent Soul.

How could the experts from Immortal Dynasty Manor know about us? Could it be that the reputation of the Three Thousand Dao Sect remains extremely prominent in Central Continent Empire to this day?

"Nephew Pei, do you think it's possible that the Ancestor of Greenwood Sect once practiced in the Grand Thousand Dao Sect?"

Pei Qingfeng was somewhat astonished and asked involuntarily, "Was that person in the Tribulation Realm?"

Fang Chen nodded lightly. "I'm not sure, but it should be."

Pei Qingfeng replied firmly and decisively, "Absolutely impossible. Our sect hasn't produced such a strong figure in many years. In these hundreds of years, only Ancestor Hong Qing has reached the Nascent Soul Realm."

Fang Chen fell silent. He speculated that there must be some connection between the Ancestor of Greenwood Sect and the Three Thousand Dao Sect, but the specific nature of this relationship could perhaps only be clarified when he next met that senior.

Fang Chen changed the topic. "Let's not dwell on this for now. When I arrived, I noticed that the Immortal Qin Clan was heavily guarded, having lay formations everywhere, as if preparing for something big about to happen. Have you heard anything about this?"

Pei Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, then called out Guan’e, Elder Xu, and Elder Huang.

Pei Qingfeng smiled."Martial Uncle, these three often go out and are most informed about external matters."

The three were momentarily stunned. "External matters?"

"Martial Uncle mentioned that, upon arrival, he found the Immortal Qin Clan on high alert, seemingly preparing for battle. Do any of you know what's going on?" Pei Qingfeng asked.

The three finally realized what Pei Qingfeng meant. Elder Xu smiled first. "Sect Master, you've been in seclusion for a long time and might not know about this. Some time ago, there was an interesting incident between the Immortal Qin Clan and the Lang Ya Clan."

"Interesting incident?" Fang Chen chuckled lightly. "What kind of incident?"

"There's a young wastrel in the Qin Clan who, for the sake of Langya Yu, the young lady of the Langya tribe, stole the 'Three Solar Fruit' that the Qin Clan ancestor had been growing for many years. It's well known that the Three Solar Fruit has excellent effects in dealing with the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.

"It is a rare item that is even listed among spiritual medicines. But that young wastrel stole it and gave it to Langya Yu, helping her overcome the first calamity of the three." Ṝ₳𐌽Ó𝔟Ëʂ

"This should have been a spiritual fruit the Qin Clan ancestor prepared for his own use." Elder Xu chuckled. "This incident caused quite a stir, and relations between the two clans have become very tense because of it. As for the mobilization of troops, it should be a pretense for the Langya Clan. I believe both sides will handle this matter properly."

Guan’e and Elder Huang also smiled, evidently treating this matter as a joke.

Fang Chen sighed lightly in his heart. These three didn't know that the Spirit Blood Sect was behind this all. If the Spirit Blood Sect's plan succeeded, the Immortal Qin Clan and the Langya Clan would inevitably go to war.

With the Spirit Blood Sect stirring the pot, other tribes might also become involved, ultimately escalating into a major conflict involving hundreds of families. The consequences would be even more severe than those of the Hidden Cloud Region.

"Martial Uncle, it's rumored that the Qin Clan’s ancestors practiced in the Three Thousand Dao Sect in the earliest days. Over the years, they have managed to acquire quite a bit of Dao inheritance through various means." Pei Qingfeng chuckled lightly. "The Qin Family is facing some trouble, but we can easily watch from the sidelines without getting involved."

Fang Chen's eyes lit up with interest. "The Qin Family also originates from the Three Thousand Dao Sect?"

Elder Xu immediately smirked. "Although the Qin Family has that wastrel young master, the family's illegitimate son is quite outstanding. At a young age, he had already reached the peak of Foundation Building Realm. A few years ago, he even visited our sect to look for benefits. If it weren't for Sect Master intervening, he might have stayed even longer."

"You're talking about Qin Nie," remarked Fang Chen.

The others looked somewhat surprised.

Pei Qingfeng curiously asked, "Martial Uncle, you also know about Qin Nie?"

Fang Chen smiled. "I've heard a bit about him, but not much. Please, tell me more."

"When you speak about Qin Nie, his incredible luck comes to mind first. His mother was just a maid in the Qin Clan, yet she had an affair with the Clan's master, getting pregnant with Qin Nie.

"Shortly after his birth, Qin Nie displayed exceptional talent in cultivation. Despite being an illegitimate child, he received careful nurturing from the Qin Clan. Now, at the age of only thirty-three, he has achieved the peak of Foundation Building Realm. There are rumors that he might condense the Golden Core before he turns forty."

"Now that the legitimate heir of the clan has encountered trouble, it's possible that the position of heir will pass to Qin Nie," Elder Xu explained.

"Thirty-three years old and already at the peak of Foundation Building Realm, his talent is indeed remarkable." Fang Chen nodded thoughtfully.

At the conclusion of the Hidden Cloud Region conflict, Qin Nie was probably just over ten years old, but his cultivation talent remained a question mark. His rapid advancement may not have been free of the Spirit Blood Sect's influence; his cultivation could very well have used Spirit Blood Pills to bolster his cultivation

The Spirit Blood Sect nurturing such a young master of the Qin Clan suggests their ambitions extend beyond current schemes. They likely see Azure Dao Manor as more than just a playing field, occasionally using it to obtain Blood Spirit Divine Pills.

With that in mind, Fang Chen decided to make a trip. He'd gather information on the current situation between the Immortal Qin Clan and the Langya Clan before making any further decisions.

At that moment, Guan’s expression changed, and she took out a Communication Talisman. After a moment's contemplation, she frowned and looked toward Fang Chen and Pei Qingfeng.

"Martial Uncle, Sect Master, someone from the Qin Clan has arrived at the outer courtyard, and they seem to have quite a background," she reported.

The others exchanged strange looks; it seemed too coincidental that the Qin Clan's arrival followed their recent discussion.

Pei Qingfeng paused for a moment before turning to Fang Chen. " I'll go and see why the Qin Clan member is here."

Fang Chen nodded. "I'll come along."

While the Qin Clan member's arrival had made them uneasy, their Martial Uncle's presence reassured them a little.
