CHAPTER 981: CHAPTER 310: THE ASCENSION CONFERENCE OF THE TIDAL IMMORTAL REALM

Knew it would be like this.

Why did he go looking for trouble with that Chen Qiu back then, but... but at the time he had just broken through to the Body Integration Realm, wanting to find someone with a big name to show off his skills, was that wrong?

Besides, at that time Chen Qiu was the King of Xuantian, and such a big reward was right at his doorstep. At that time, Xuantian State only had him in the Body Integration Realm, would it have been reasonable if he hadn’t taken action?

Was it his problem?

He didn’t think he was at fault even a bit, but the problem was he ended up being permanently imprisoned here.

Damn it!!!

...

Seven years is a long time, long enough that even the ancestor of Taiping Prefecture, that old man with white hair, had already broken through the Heavenly Dao Shackles of the Vast Continent and smoothly arrived at Qi Tian Continent.

"Is this the Third Grade Continent?"

This old man, now dressed in vigorous attire with no sign of lethargy, instead looking quite spirited, stood curiously at the entrance of a restaurant in a certain city, observing the passersby.

The Third Grade Continent indeed felt denser.

And this Third Grade Continent truly lived up to being a polluted continent, these passersby all looked incredibly bizarre.

Inside the restaurant behind him, there was a storyteller narrating Chen Qiu’s story, recounting how Chen Qiu had seized three "Heavenly Dao Term Groups" on the Vast Continent. He had already heard this story many times on the Vast Continent, but listening to it never failed to intrigue him.

Especially on this Third Grade Continent, where there were new plot developments. It’s said that at that time, someone from the Fourth Grade Continent, the Ling Pavilion Young Master, was also about to obtain a Heavenly Dao Term Group that no one had ever obtained before. However, in order to show off, he did not acquire it immediately but instead invited people from all over the world to a celebratory feast where he planned to obtain the term group and receive the Heavenly Dao Decree.

Fame would spread throughout the world at that moment!

But who knew that Chen Qiu acted first, and it’s said that the Ling Pavilion Young Master was so furious he sought revenge against Chen Qiu, only to be counter-killed by him. To this day, Ling Pavilion is secretly searching for Chen Qiu’s whereabouts.

Yes, secretly, not daring to openly post a reward.

"Not bad, not bad!"

After the segment ended, the ancestor of Taiping Prefecture, who had unknowingly entered the restaurant, applauded joyfully. Despite feeling puzzled that even restaurants have become involved in the storytelling business these days, it wasn’t important. What was important was that he had already heard these stories many times on the Vast Continent.

Although some details were different, the overall content didn’t differ much.

Chen Qiu hadn’t returned to the Vast Continent in many years, and he was more interested in the stories of what happened after Chen Qiu left the Vast Continent.

"But these stories are already several years old, are there no recent stories about Senior Chen Qiu?"

"Recent years?"

A guest among the spectators shook his head regretfully: "Senior Chen Qiu hasn’t made a move in over seven years, there aren’t any stories, and no one knows where he is. He must be in closed cultivation somewhere."

"Of course, it’s also possible that he’s fallen somewhere."

"Falling is impossible."

The storyteller on stage shook his head in denial: "Senior Chen Qiu’s fame has spread across several continents. Anyone who could kill Senior Chen Qiu would immediately become famous. Who could resist such fame? If he had fallen to someone, it would definitely be widely publicized."

"Moreover."

"The last time there was news about Senior Chen Qiu, he was already in the Unification Realm. For someone of that realm, a retreat lasting not just seven, but seventy or even seven hundred years wouldn’t be unusual."

"Perhaps when Senior Chen Qiu comes out a hundred years later, he will be someone at the pinnacle of the Unification Realm."

"True."

Hearing this, the audience nodded in agreement, acknowledging that a closed cultivation of such length is usual for high-realm cultivators, not just for Chen Qiu but for others as well.

However, they had grown accustomed to Chen Qiu’s usually very short retreats, making it difficult to adapt to this prolonged seclusion.

"In retreat..."

The ancestor of Taiping Prefecture sighed with some regret. He had hoped to hear new stories upon arriving at Qi Tian Continent. He had become so tired of hearing the same old tales on the Vast Continent.

Just then—

He suddenly saw a fairy walking towards him through the crowd.

It was none other than the fairy from the Fifth Grade Immortal Realm, from Prince Wei’s Mansion.

"Hey."

The ancestor of Taiping Prefecture grinned: "I’ve already reached the Third Grade Continent, don’t die too slowly, I feel in my lifetime, I might really have the chance to visit that Fifth Grade Immortal Realm."

"Tsk."

Hearing this, the master of Prince Wei’s Mansion tutted softly, rolled her eyes at the ancestor of Taiping Prefecture, then naturally walked over, linked her arm through his, leaned against him, and whispered: "In a few days, there’s a very important event in the Immortal Realm, a lot of big shots are going. I want you to come with me."

"Huh?"

The ancestor of Taiping Prefecture turned his head, full of surprise, to look at the young lady beside him: "Even though I know you are the master of Prince Wei’s Mansion, from what I know, the mansion is only a small power in the Immortal Realm. You said many big figures would be attending this event, do you have the qualifications to go?"

"Looking down on people, huh?"

The woman impatiently and unkindly replied: "I’ll be going with my old friend Ba Dan. Alone, I definitely wouldn’t have the qualifications to enter. Just tell me if you’ll go with me or not."

"Go, why wouldn’t I go, but that’s the Immortal Realm, how would I get there?"

"I’ll have my old friend Ba Dan take you up there."
