From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 611 Reunion with Hua Tiandu in the Golden Immortal Palace (Still three updates)

Immortal Ascension Gate, Golden Immortal Palace
Sun Xihua's wrinkles seemed to deepen on her aged face, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked at Li Chengqian. She had long been convinced that Ruyi Zi's disappearance was inextricably linked to Li Chengqian and had been looking for an opportunity to strike. But now, facing two such young, powerful figures at the Cave Heaven Realm, all her prepared questions and methods seemed utterly pale and powerless.

To launch an attack? What could be used to launch an attack? We are inferior in strength, and our potential is worlds apart! Sect rules? In the face of absolute strength and potential, rules are often meant to be broken.

If she were to make a move now, not only would she be unable to subdue Li Chengqian, but she would also completely offend these two future pillars of the sect, and might even incur the wrath of the sect leader and the three patriarchs. For a moment, she felt extremely stifled, as if a breath was stuck in her chest, unable to come up or go down.

Deng Ao's expression shifted rapidly. He had originally planned to use his status as a senior elder to favor Hua Tiandu in certain matters and check Li Chengqian. But now... check him? Check my ass!

With two experts at the Cave Heaven Realm joining forces, who else present besides the Sect Leader and the three Ancestors could withstand them?

Most importantly, they're young!

Having achieved such accomplishments in less than four years since entering the sect, heaven knows which great being he is the reincarnation of. Now that he has reached the Cave Heaven Realm, he must have recovered a lot of his memories from his previous life, and his methods are many times more numerous than those of ordinary cultivators!
Thinking of this, he sighed inwardly, knowing that from this day forward, the power structure of the Feathered Ascension Sect was completely established, and no one could shake Li Chengqian's position. He even began to regret whether he should have stood on Hua Tiandu's side so early and so firmly.

The other elders, such as Lin Feiyan, the teacher of Elder Tianxing, showed expressions of satisfaction. The emergence of such a prodigy in the sect was a sign of great prosperity for the Yuhua Sect!

Feng Baiyu took in everyone's reactions, understanding their situation perfectly. He coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the hall: "Chengqian, Qingxue, your cultivation has greatly improved, truly a blessing for our Feathered Ascension Sect! Please take your seats!"

Previously, even the deputy sect leader's seat in the Golden Immortal Hall was like Schrödinger's cat, dispensable. But now, having achieved the Cave Heaven Realm, with a rank comparable to the Supreme Elder, coupled with the deputy sect leader's status, he is bound to have a fixed position in the Golden Immortal Hall.

Li Chengqian and Fang Qingxue didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly in the seats below Feng Baiyu. Feng Baiyu then straightened his expression and asked, "Chengqian, how did your investigation into the gods' affairs at the Ruins of Return and the Graveyard of Doomsday go?"

Li Chengqian cupped his hands and delivered the prepared statement: "Reporting to the Sect Leader, Qingxue and I encountered the God Emperor Hentian and a divine son of the Divine Race named Yaoli in the Doomsday Graveyard, along with his seven subordinate God Emperors. After a battle, we annihilated them all and searched their souls to obtain some information."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall tensed up. The Divine Son of the Divine Race was at least at the Cave Heaven Realm, and he commanded seven Divine Emperors. This force was not to be underestimated, yet Li Chengqian and his companion had annihilated them all? Although they knew that the two were at the Cave Heaven Realm, hearing such a feat was still shocking.

"Based on the fragmented information obtained from the soul search, it can be confirmed that the God Race is indeed planning a great calamity against my Xuanhuang Great World, the scale of which is probably far greater than any previous one. They seem to be looking for a key node or figure, but the specific details, the timing of the attack, and the method of attack are unknown even to Yao Li, the Divine Son. It seems to be directly controlled by a higher level of the God Race."

Li Chengqian's words made the atmosphere in the hall even more solemn.

Feng Baiyu said in a deep voice, "I have already discussed this matter with the leaders of both the immortal and demonic paths, including the Taiyi Sect, the Innate Demonic Sect, and the Linglong Blessed Land. The great calamity is approaching, and there will be no distinction between immortals and demons; survival is paramount. All parties have reached a preliminary consensus that they need to temporarily set aside their past grievances and work together to deal with the threat from the gods. The specifics of how to unite still need further discussion."

He paused, then turned his gaze to Hua Tiandu, and continued, "The great calamity of the Divine Race is imminent, but we also need to strengthen ourselves. Tiandu has now advanced to the Longevity Realm, and the conditions for opening the Heavenly Martial Treasury are ripe. The Heavenly Martial Treasury was left behind by Immortal Venerable Panwu, and its treasures are boundless. If we can obtain it, it will be of great help to our Feathered Ascension Sect in dealing with the great calamity. Therefore, the sect's next important task is to help Tiandu open and seize the Heavenly Martial Treasury!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Tiandu's spirits lifted. He stepped forward and declared loudly, "Tiandu will certainly do his utmost to live up to the sect's expectations! However... the Heavenly Martial Treasury is of great importance. Once opened, both the Immortal and Demonic Paths will not stand idly by; they will likely obstruct it and even attempt to seize it." Deng Ao immediately chimed in, "Tiandu is absolutely right. The Demonic Sect harbors wolfish ambitions and must be guarded against. This operation requires meticulous planning and the deployment of sufficient forces to ensure its success." As he spoke, his gaze seemed to intentionally or unintentionally sweep over Li Chengqian.

Sun Xihua suppressed his complicated emotions and echoed, "The Heavenly Martial Treasury is related to the future of the sect, and we should do our best to support Tiandu."

Feng Baiyu looked at Li Chengqian and asked, "Chengqian, what do you think?"

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Li Chengqian again. Hua Tiandu even held his breath. He knew that Li Chengqian's identity was now completely different. His position in the sect was extremely important, second only to the Three Saints and Feng Baiyu. If Li Chengqian interfered, the plan for the Heavenly Martial Treasury would likely face many unexpected changes.

Li Chengqian remained calm, a faint, enigmatic smile still playing on his lips. He gently stroked the armrest of his chair and slowly said, "Since the Heavenly Martial Treasury is Senior Brother Hua's opportunity, it should naturally be under his leadership. I have no objections and will follow the sect's orders. However, Senior Brother Tiandu, are you sure you can control the situation after opening the Heavenly Martial Treasury?"

He looked at Hua Tiandu with a deep gaze.

"This..." Hua Tiandu was speechless for a moment.

He claimed to be the successor of the Heavenly Martial Treasury, but in one fortuitous encounter, he only obtained the Great Origin Technique and the Great Desolate Ancient Furnace, and learned about the Heavenly Martial Treasury. However, he was uncertain about what would happen inside once the Heavenly Martial Treasury was opened. Whether the Dao artifacts inside, or the remnant divine soul of Immortal Venerable Panwu, would recognize him as the successor of Panwu, was still unknown.

“Regardless, Tian Du is the successor of Immortal Venerable Panwu, possessing the Great Origin Technique. Only he can open the treasure vault, and only he has the fortune to obtain Immortal Venerable Panwu’s inheritance. Vice Sect Leader Li, don’t you have any other thoughts?” Sun Xihua suddenly spoke up.

"Hehe, I definitely don't have it."

Hua Tiandu felt a sense of relief at first, then a tension in his heart. After all, a place like the Heavenly Martial Treasury was bound to be fraught with danger, and whether he could successfully obtain the treasure depended entirely on himself. However, this was the best outcome he could imagine.

Feng Baiyu nodded: "Since that's the case, then it's settled. Tiandu, you should prepare as soon as possible and draft a detailed plan. Chengqian and Qingxue, you will participate in this operation. The most important thing is to be wary of the Taiyi Sect and other powerful enemies that may appear."

"Yes," Li Chengqian and Fang Qingxue replied in unison.

As Li Chengqian left the Golden Immortal Palace, he chuckled inwardly. He knew perfectly well that Hua Tiandu had long been secretly colluding with the Taiyi Sect, as evidenced by his engagement to Yan Shuiyi. However, Yan Shuiyi was probably currently entangled with Fang Han, unknowingly cuckolding Hua Tiandu.

Hua Tiandu and Fang Han, one a reincarnation of a malignant tumor from the Gate of Immortality, the other a reincarnation of a spirit artifact, are both destined by fate and are destined to be mortal enemies. Although due to his interference, the two do not have much interaction now, once the truth is revealed, Hua Tiandu will inevitably fight Fang Han to the death.

"When dogs fight, they all end up with nothing but a mouthful of fur," Li Chengqian thought to himself. "They don't even know what's going on inside the Heavenly Martial Treasury. What great benefits do they expect to gain? They're just doing all the work for me!"
