Chapter 1149: Hidden Immortal Hall
At this point, Li Qiye slightly frowned. He thought about something and looked over at the old man: “Your Su Clan wouldn’t open this secret pathway unless a disaster fell upon you. Not too many things could necessitate this action, could it be that some items in the ancient temple have gone missing?”
“How, how does Virtuous Nephew know about this?!” The old man was shocked. Only members of their clan knew about these treasures. No outsiders should have been privy to this information.
“Nothing surprising.” Li Qiye continued: “So your clan has truly lost them?”
The old man wryly coughed: “Well, yes. A few things happened back during our forefathers’ generation. An ancestor in that period fell in love with a woman from the charming race at the Heaven Spirit World. Later on, due to various reasons, she was detained by her race, so my ancestor personally went to their world.”
“Thus, he brought that item along. If the other party did not let her go, he would send that place back to the origin.” After hearing this, Li Qiye could faintly guess what happened.
The old man smiled and continued: “I heard that the ancestor talked to that race and said that he only wanted to marry her. No one knows what happened afterward. The ancestor who brought along the item was never seen or heard of again.” The old man sighed at this point: “In the successive generations, our clan sent various people to the Heaven Spirit World to try and find them, but we never found anything. The treasure disappeared from that point onward.”
“But you lot recently obtained some news.” Li Qiye stared at the old man.
The old man gently nodded: “A few days ago, we finally received a response, so we summoned the family for a meeting. A bit later, my daughter insisted on going to the Heaven Spirit World, so we opened the secret pathway.”
With that, he looked over at Li Qiye: “Ever since she went to the Heaven Spirit World, there have been no new messages. It has been a while, so I’m worried that something might have happened to her. Right now, we still need to wait for a bit before we can open the pathway once more, so I came here to seek your a.s.sistance. I heard that you have another method to reach the other worlds.”
Li Qiye replied: “I understand, I will personally go to the Heaven Spirit World. Don’t worry, I will bring the sect master home.”
“Nothing would be better.” The old man was very happy. He had heard of Li Qiye’s tales, so Li Qiye was the perfect person for the job.
He told the old man: “Just wait back at the Su Clan for the good news.”
The ecstatic old man quickly bid his farewell.
Li Qiye looked into the distance in silence after the old man left. Heaven Spirit World… There were a few things there that he didn’t know how to face.
“After all is said and done, one has to pay everything back one day.” Eventually, he withdrew his gaze and gently sighed: “Everything should end in this generation, both feuds and hatred.” [1. Hatred here is most likely a romantic hate because it would be strange to include feud otherwise.]
He called for Gu Tieshou and told him: “Contact the War G.o.d Temple. Tell them that I want to go to the Hidden Immortal Hall. Make sure they understand that I must go, there’s no room for discussion.”
After seeing his demeanor, Gu Tieshou didn’t dare to say much and acknowledged the command before leaving right away.
The War G.o.d Temple was the oldest lineage in the Mortal Emperor World. After millions of years, very few knew where it was located. Some said that it was built in the middle region while others believed that it was situated at the eastern Hundred Cities. Some even thought that it was in the depths of s.p.a.ce.
Despite the fact that there were very few cultivators who could find its exact coordinates, it still had many disciples that stayed at the Mortal Emperor World. Thus, it was not difficult to contact them.
There were even fewer people who knew about the Hidden Immortal Hall. The number could be counted on one’s hand. It was a secret of the temple, a secret which only the highest level ancestors knew where it was hidden.
The hall was shrouded in primordial chaos alongside many ancient temples. After being polished by countless years, every brick and stone that made up these temples had an air of ancientness. One could feel the flow of time by looking at them.
While walking in this chaos, travelers could sense a moving immortal intent. This intent gave them wings, making them feel as if they had turned into an immortal. It seemed like one could climb to an immortal land from this place. It was a wondrous feeling.
Li Qiye slowly walked through these halls. He basked in the chaos and immortal intent while channeling their profundities. Others might be unaware of what this temple was hiding, but Li Qiye knew full well. The items hidden here could definitely make even Immortal Emperors salivate with greed.
