The Sect Leader never expected that the Immortal Being would truly appear.

He had indeed sensed the awakening of the Immortal Being, but he didn’t expect the Immortal to appear in the world so quickly. This was a complete surprise.

The Sect Leader excitedly introduced himself, “Congratulations on your awakening from the river of history, Immortal. My name is Xie Bingzhi, the leader of the Immortal Sect. The era we are in now is three hundred thousand years away from the era you know. Oh, you may not know about the Immortal Sect. We are one of the four major demonic sects, aiming to awaken you from your slumber…”

The Immortal Being quietly listened to the Sect Leader’s endless introduction. When the Sect Leader stopped talking, he chuckled and said leisurely, “Child, don’t be so excited. I already know everything you just said.”

The Sect Leader calmed down, realizing that he had overstepped and lost his composure, “The Immortal knows everything.”

The Immortal Being shook his head, “It’s not that exaggerated. Who dares to claim omniscience? Even Ying Tian and Kylin can’t claim to know everything, let alone this Immortal who has been gone for three hundred thousand years. The sea has changed into mulberry fields, the stars have shifted, the world has changed, who could have predicted today’s events back then?”

A drop of golden liquid appeared out of thin air in the Immortal Being’s hand. With a flick, it landed in the Sect Leader’s hand.

The Sect Leader could feel the terrifying life force contained within.

“You were injured by a powerful enemy. Without a hundred years, it would be difficult to heal. This drop of Immortal Liquid can help you speed up your recovery.”

“Is this the legendary ‘Immortal’ Dao Fruit?” The Sect Leader’s hands trembled. This was the first time he felt the power of an Immortal.

The Immortal Being smiled kindly, “The Dao Fruit of an Immortal does not easily appear in the world. This is just a drop of dew from the ‘Immortal’ Dao Fruit.”

The Sect Leader immediately took it. The golden liquid turned into a strange energy as soon as it entered his mouth, filling his limbs and body, down to the smallest details.

The Sect Leader could clearly feel that his recovery speed was accelerating.

He had heard that the Dao Fruit of an Immortal was the foundation of every Immortal and was never easily shown to others. The Immortal Being, who had saved the human race, was selfless and allowed him to glimpse a bit of the power of the Dao Fruit of an Immortal.

“This Immortal knows why you awakened me. The struggle of the proud sons of heaven, becoming an Immortal is an eternal topic…”

The Immortal Being stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly closed, somewhat murky, as if recalling ancient memories. In the end, he sighed and shook his head, not commenting too much on the past.

He murmured, “Does the human race need this Immortal to save them again…?”

The Sect Leader quickly said, “Immortal, the ancient era is coming again. There are awakening cultivators everywhere. If a war breaks out, only you can save the human race!”

“Well, perhaps saving the human race is this Immortal’s mission. What’s the harm in saving it one more time?”

Just as the Sect Leader was about to say something, he was interrupted by the Immortal Being, “However, this Immortal only has a soul left now, and the Dao Fruit is not yet perfect. I can only temporarily reside in the statue and cannot protect you like I did at the end of the ancient times. If I want to return to my peak state, I need a body to rely on.”

“Can I do it?” The Sect Leader volunteered.

The Immortal Being shook his head, “Your body has already taken shape, and you have made many mistakes in your cultivation. It’s hard to reverse the situation, and the chance of condensing the Dao Fruit is very slim.”

“I heard that Yun Zhi of the Seek Tao Sect is known as the strongest among the five major Immortal Sects. Can her body do it?” The Sect Leader suggested again.

The Immortal Being shook his head, “Heh, the strongest of the five major Immortal Sects? As far as this Immortal knows, the five major Immortal Sects are just five sects with some foundation in the Central Continent. Not to mention the four directions, the overall strength of the five major Immortal Sects is probably not as good as the Great Xia Dynasty that rules the Central Continent.”

“In this case, how strong can the strongest of the five major Immortal Sects be, and can it allow this Immortal to become an Immortal again?”

The Sect Leader quickly bowed his head in apology.

“There is still some time before the real outbreak of the Great World War. It’s enough for this Immortal to cultivate back to the peak. This Immortal needs a body that has just started to cultivate. With his body as a vessel, this Immortal can return to the realm of Immortals. If I’m lucky, I might be able to suppress Ying Tian, Kylin, and others, and become the first of the five ancient Immortals.”

“By then, even if this Immortal takes action to protect the human race, the risk of falling will be greatly reduced.”

“The Immortal is wise.”

“You go and gather all the believers in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages. This Immortal will personally select and see who is qualified to be possessed by this Immortal.”

“Yes.”

“Immortal, I want to ask you a question.”

“Child, you ask.”

“Who exactly refined the stars in the sky into continents?”

It is said that the Immortal Being witnessed this event that ended the ancient era with his own eyes.

The Immortal Being closed his eyes and shook his head, “Your cultivation is too low. This is not something you should know.”

The Sect Leader was somewhat disappointed, but he also admitted that he was far behind the Immortal.

Before leaving, the Sect Leader hesitated and asked, “Your name seems… not an ordinary name?”The Sect Leader actually wanted to say, “I really couldn’t think of a name, so I randomly came up with ‘No Shame’. Why would an immortal have such a strange name?”

The Immortal remained silent, his face dark.

Realizing his mistake, the Sect Leader excused himself and left.

…

After leaving the secret chamber, the Sect Leader quickly summoned the three Deputy Sect Leaders and the elders. However, only Deputy Sect Leader Jin arrived. After inquiring, he found out that Deputy Sect Leaders Liu and Gao had gone to the Seek Tao Sect with the immortal treasure.

“They’re risking their lives for power?” The Sect Leader gritted his teeth. He could guess what those two fools were thinking. They wanted to make a name for themselves in the Seek Tao Sect to compete for his position.

But why did they have to go to the Seek Tao Sect?

They might have entered alive, but could they come out alive?

“How long has it been since the Five Elements Sect visited the Seek Tao Sect?”

“Just half a day, there’s no reply yet.”

The Sect Leader took a deep breath: “No need to wait for news. They must have been captured by the Seek Tao Sect. They might even know our headquarters’ location by now!”

“There’s only one plan now.”

“Surrender?”

The Sect Leader was furious: “Surrender my ass! Have you ever seen a demonic sect surrender to the righteous path?”

“So, are we making history now?”

Suppressing the urge to strangle this elder, the Sect Leader said: “Hurry up and move our base to the fifth backup location!”

“Oh.”

To prevent the higher-ups from being captured and revealing the locations of the headquarters and backup bases, each Deputy Sect Leader was only informed of one backup location.

For example, Deputy Sect Leader Liu knew the location of the third backup base, and Deputy Sect Leader Gao knew the location of the fourth.

In just two short months, they had to move from the second base to the third, all because of the Seek Tao Sect.

The Immortal Sect moved swiftly, quickly packing up and heading to the fifth backup base.

The Sect Leader peeked into the secret chamber: “Immortal, should I carry you, or will you walk yourself?”

The Immortal: “……”

What’s with this feeling of impending doom?
