Chapter 939 (2/2)

“Good…”

“Then let’s do that.”

…

In the void of the Land of Immortal Remnants, Qu Yuanhai was meditating on a floating meteorite.

On the very meteorite he was seated on, he had also laid a Concealment Formation.

The place he was in within the Land of Immortal Remnants was quite remote, with few people ever visiting, but even so, for safety’s sake, he had set up a Concealment Formation, not wanting to be discovered.

The reason for such caution was because he and his disciple’s nephew had fortuitously obtained a strand of Immortal Yuan ten days prior.

This was Immortal Yuan, after all!

Something countless people dream of possessing, rumored to even enable one to ascend to immortality.

Although he didn’t know how to use the Immortal Yuan to ascend to immortality, his all-knowing Senior Brother, who was also the Sect Master of Liuyue Dao Sect, would surely know.

Thus, upon obtaining the Immortal Yuan initially, he concealed it at once.

As Immortal Yuan was extremely precious, naturally, he could not let others know of its existence, especially those from the Cangyun Realm.

If they were to discover that he possessed Immortal Yuan, they would certainly come to snatch it at all costs.

Even if he could deliver the Immortal Yuan back to Liuyue Dao Sect, it would bring unimaginable disaster to the sect.

Therefore, after obtaining the Immortal Yuan, his first thought was to hide and then find a way to send it back to Liuyue Dao Sect.

But Immortal Yuan was exceedingly special, its aura nearly impossible to conceal, making the task of taking it out exceedingly difficult.

Moreover…

To prevent those two cultivators from the Xuanqing Realm who were pursuing him in the exit of the Land of Immortal Remnants, a Magical Treasure from the Ancient Era capable of detecting Immortal Yuan had been placed.

Even if he could completely conceal the aura of the Immortal Yuan, making it undetectable to others, he still could not escape the detection of that Magical Treasure.

So…

After waiting for a few days until his disciple’s nephew’s aura of Immortal Yuan dissipated, he let him leave early to notify his Senior Brother.

His Senior Brother had once, during an excursion in a Secret Realm, accidentally acquired a fragment of a small and badly damaged world.

This small world was not big and was already in ruins.

Even so, this small world could be used to hide Immortal Yuan.

Placing the Immortal Yuan inside the small world would render the Magical Treasure incapable of detection.

In this way, they could bring the Immortal Yuan back to Liuyue Dao Sect.

At this moment, Qu Yuanhai, having waited near this area for nearly ten days since his disciple’s nephew left, estimated that it wouldn’t be long before his Senior Brother would arrive.

Qu Yuanhai, alone on the meteorite, was both anxious and somewhat excited.

During this time, he had been continuously observing the surroundings, taking every precaution, and praying ceaselessly, only hoping that no incidents would occur in these next few days.

Perhaps due to the remoteness of the location he had chosen or possibly the efficacy of his prayers, no other cultivators had appeared in the vicinity since his disciple’s nephew had departed—not a single one.

Unfortunately…

It seemed that heaven wouldn’t always look favorably upon him.

Today, while Qu Yuanhai was meditating, he suddenly sensed something unusual, as though someone had come nearby.

Qu Yuanhai was startled, his heart skipping a beat.

Then, hastily, he used the means he had left behind to investigate.

Under Qu Yuanhai’s scrutiny, he detected a lean figure shrouded in rising Demonic Qi, approaching his location; by its aura, it seemed like a practitioner of the Jiuyou Demonic Path, and its cultivation appeared to be only at the early stages of Mahayana.

Qu Yuanhai dared not extend his Divine Sense, only using the means he had left behind to carefully observe.

These means had been prepared just for situations like this.

Now, hidden inside the Concealment Formation, he could indeed probe the other with his Divine Sense, but the other party would similarly be able to detect his presence.

However, it was fortunate that he was inside the Concealment Formation and should not be discovered by the other party.

At the moment, Qu Yuanhai only hoped that this person had come here by chance and would leave quickly.

But fate was contrary to his wishes, as the Demon Cultivator from the Jiuyou Demonic Path flew directly towards his location.

Even upon arriving in front of the meteorite where he was hiding, the person stopped directly, observing the meteorite where he concealed himself.

Seeing this, Qu Yuanhai’s eyebrows knitted tightly.

He still harbored a sliver of hope at the time, wishing that the other party hadn’t discovered him, so he did not act but continued to take careful precautions while observing the newcomer…
