Enter the Village Quietly

Qingyun Continent, beyond the realm.

A silent spatial portal quietly unfolded.

Chen Yi’s one-star Chaos Clone slowly stepped out, his gaze deep and penetrating as he looked down upon the vast, emerald-green great star below.

Six great suns revolved around it, radiating heat and light, while eighteen bright moons formed a natural grand array, scattering moonlight.

Overall, the Qingyun Continent was more than twice the size of the Purple Star Continent!

But strangely, the aura of the Qingyun Heavenly Dao’s laws seemed somewhat weak and listless, as if it had only just ascended to the pseudo-immortal realm and had yet to fully stabilize.

Does that make sense?

After the Purple Star Heavenly Dao returned to the pseudo-immortal realm and fully stabilized, it struggled to maintain a territory even half the size of Qingyun Continent. Feng Tianyu, the goddess who governed the sun and moon’s rotation, could at most control two great suns and six moon stars.

Yet, the Qingyun Continent, just newly ascended to the pseudo-immortal realm, boasted six great suns and eighteen moon stars?

Not to mention that an early-stage Celestial Immortal, Han Qianxue, was permanently stationed there. If the Qingyun Continent had truly just reached the pseudo-immortal realm, Chen Yi wouldn’t believe it for a second!

So, the Qingyun Heavenly Dao was definitely hiding something!

“Are they afraid of surpassing the lower realm’s standards too much and getting suppressed by the higher realms? Well, I’ll have to learn a thing or two from Purple Star then!”

Chen Yi’s eyes narrowed. He flipped out a cloaking cloak and put it on, then secretly merged into a three-star Chaos Clone, maintaining his optimal state. Only then did he confidently slip inside unnoticed.

At the same time—

Qingyun Continent, Ice Soul Blessed Land.

This place was pure white, without a hint of any other color. Thick immortal spiritual energy condensed into a mist that, when touched by sunlight, reflected dazzling brilliance, adding a layer of hazy, dreamlike beauty to the entire blessed land.

Floating at the center of the Ice Soul Blessed Land was an island.

The island was picturesque, filled with birdsong and blooming flowers, the immortal spiritual energy even more concentrated, almost ready to vaporize into liquid. Amidst the swirling misty sea, nine verdant peaks spread out like lotus petals, supporting a magnificent glazed palace.

The Gao Island Immortal Mansion!

Founded by Immortal Venerable Qianxue, it was the only place on Qingyun Continent where one could attain the Dao and ascend to immortality. Inside its gates, immortals gathered like clouds, living long lives, each carrying out their heavenly mandates, inspiring countless beings to yearn for it.

Deep within the mansion, suspended above a misty immortal vein, the mansion’s master, Han Qianxue, gracefully waved her delicate hands, opening eighteen thousand specially crafted spatial rings.

In an instant, all kinds of resources and a massive accumulation of Immortal Yuan Stones poured out, flooding into the bottomless immortal vein.

Chen Yi, who had sneaked in quietly, felt a surge of heat in his chest at the sight. Although he didn’t understand why Immortal Han was flaunting her wealth to tempt him, he held back his impulse. Instead, he calmly pulled out a specially enhanced cloaking pouch and silently crept toward Han Qianxue.

Wearing a cloak that absorbed all feedback waves, as long as he didn’t reveal himself, he was completely invisible—practically nonexistent in this world!

The Ascension Calamity couldn’t see him, the detection system couldn’t find him, let alone a mere early-stage Celestial Immortal!

“Hm? Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?”

Han Qianxue suddenly furrowed her brows, looking around as her heart inexplicably quickened.

Chen Yi’s footsteps faltered as he silently closed in within a hundred meters, his hand tightening around the concealment pouch.

A woman’s intuition is always sharp—though she understood nothing clearly, an irrational yet piercing sense of unease stirred within her, putting her instantly on high alert!

Though this distance was already too close for her to react in time, it still wasn’t safe enough. After all, the chat group’s anchor point resided within her sea of consciousness; if there was even a one-in-ten-thousand chance she could send out a message, her cover would be blown.

No, this won’t do. Better to wait a little longer—until the moment she lets her guard down!

Fortunately, the adept Celestial Dao of Qingyun offered timely assistance.

“Miss, since your instincts are warning you, it means this journey is fraught with danger. Maybe you shouldn’t go?”

Hearing this, Han Qianxue’s tightly knit brows slowly relaxed. “I can’t not go. Qingyun, watch the house well while I’m away. I have a bad feeling about this.”

The Celestial Dao of Qingyun fell silent for a moment, then said gravely, “Miss, could it be the Deep Space Calamity Spawn? Though their mother body is destroyed, in recent years the number of evil demons reincarnating on the continent has greatly diminished, yet they have not been completely eradicated. If the deeply hidden evil spirits learn you’re not on home soil, it could indeed trigger a widespread disaster!”

Han Qianxue waved her hand dismissively. “All those resources I poured into the Immortal Vein weren’t for show. Use them as you see fit. They won’t be able to stir up much trouble. The root of this ominous feeling must lie elsewhere. I need to carefully analyze it. You should step back first…”

Before she could finish, her vision suddenly blackened. Though she hadn’t fully registered what was happening, her instincts had already flung open her Dao Domain, instantly shifting into defense mode!

But it was useless.

The concealment pouch’s space was surprisingly large. A massive halberd materialized out of thin air, heavy as a mountain, instantly crushing her only partially opened Dao Domain!

Immediately after, a fist launched a sneak attack, striking viciously at her forehead!

“W-who…?”

Han Qianxue struggled to stay conscious, but her opponent was clearly well-prepared. That fist not only dealt a brutal blow to her body, but also unleashed a terrifying, irresistible will crashing into her sea of consciousness, shattering her primordial spirit and will in an instant!

She was powerless, helplessly drifting into despair and forced into unconsciousness.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yi slipped a sack over her head and carried her off in one smooth motion!

The Celestial Dao of Qingyun could only watch helplessly as a dark shadow suddenly flashed by, and then their Miss vanished without a trace.

After a brief moment of system lag, it panicked!

Rumbling thunder!

Disregarding concealment, a vast celestial aura exploded forth!

It was none other than a high-level Celestial Dao that had evolved true Immortal-level laws!

In an instant, terrifying cyan heavenly thunder sealed the entire sky and earth. Each bolt alone could pulverize a pseudo-immortal, and even a true Immortal storming through would be severely injured!

Though Chen Yi’s three-star Chaos clone was maxed out with lightning resistance and remained unfazed, he still stepped forward.

“Celestial Dao of Qingyun, don’t waste your essence. Your Miss is in my hands. If you don’t want her harmed, you’d better behave!”

With that, he swung his halberd backhandedly, cleaving a gaping hole through the cyan thunderous net, demonstrating his power.

Feeling the terrifying power of the thief, Qingyun Tian Dao remained silent for a long time, but in the end, he still relented.
