The moment he saw Cui Heng, an incomparable surprise filled Pei Qingshu’s mind.
150 years of pursuit!
150 years of searching!
He finally saw Immortal Venerable again!
This made him extremely excited, and even his body trembled slightly.
He did not look like the “Deva Pei” that the entire Heavenly Void World regarded as a taboo.
At the same time, he was amused by his previous nervousness.
If he had known that the person here was Immortal Venerable.
Why would he still be nervous?
He would definitely have rushed over in great joy to pay his respects to Immortal Venerable!
At this moment, Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong were also stunned. Their eyes widened as they looked at Pei Qingshu, who was kneeling on the ground.
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed this scene.
Deva Pei actually knelt down to someone!
This was too unbelievable.
Even if Immortal Venerable’s strength had reached an unbelievable level and might even have reached the legendary realm, there was no need for Deva Pei to have such a huge reaction.
Moreover, what did Deva Pei call himself just now?
Disciple?!
He was actually a disciple?!
Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong noticed this and their hearts were in turmoil.
Could it be…
Could it be that Deva Pei was actually Immortal Venerable’s disciple?!
That’s right, that must be it!
70 years ago, Pei Tianren appeared out of nowhere and even grasped a martial technique that allowed him to become a Deva without using the Three Primordial Immortal Pills.
There must be someone helping him behind the scenes.
So this Immortal Venerable Cui had already set up an array in the Heavenly Void World 70 years ago, or even a hundred years ago?
This was too ridiculous!
Immortal Venerable Cui had spent a lot of effort.
Could it be that there was a shocking plan?
As they thought about it, their hearts became excited. Their bodies trembled.
At the side, Hui Shi was also thinking about the relationship between Pei Qingshu and Cui Heng.
However, he was more concerned about Cui Heng’s expression.
When he saw Pei Qingshu, Cui Heng’s gaze softened, as if he was an elder meeting a junior.
“Could this Deva Pei really be Immortal Venerable’s disciple?” Hui Shi couldn’t help but guess.
….
At this moment, Cui Heng looked at Pei Qingshu, who was kneeling on the ground. He looked at his old appearance and could not help but sigh in his heart.
150 years ago, this Deva Pei was still a child.
Now, his temples were white and there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. “Get up,” Cui Heng said indifferently. “Sit down beside me.”
Although he had not really taken Pei Qingshu as his disciple, they did have a master and disciple relationship.
Therefore, he did not correct Pei Qingshu for calling himself his disciple.
“Yes, disciple understand.” Pei Qingshu stood up in surprise and sat on a chair beside Cui Heng. He said happily, “Immortal Venerable, when did you come here? I, I didn’t even know you were here and couldn’t welcome
you.”
Now, he was overjoyed.
This was because Cui Heng had already acknowledged him as his “disciple”. This was also the recognition he had been pursuing for 150 years.
He hoped that Immortal Venerable would treat him as his disciple.
Even if he was just an in-name disciple.
“Not long ago.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and sized up Pei Qingshu. He sighed and said, “From the looks of it, you haven’t been living a stable life for the past 150 years.”
“Disciple is ashamed.” Pei Qingshu lowered his head and smiled bitterly. “To the Nine Immortal Sects, we are heretics and must be killed. If not for that person from Daoyi Palace, Junior Sister and I probably wouldn’t have survived until now.”
“That person from Daoyi Palace?” Cui Heng pondered for a moment and asked, “Do you know what realm he’s in now?”
“He should be above the Fourth Realm of the Immortal World and firmly suppressed the Nine Elders of the Immortal Sects. However, he didn’t obtain the Immortal True Essence and didn’t really break through to the Fifth Realm of the Immortal World,” Pei Qingshu explained.
“In that case, the so-called Nine Elders of the Immortal Sects should only be at the second level of the Fourth Realm, the Taiyi Mystic Deity Realm?” Cui Heng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he turned his head. “Is it just this level?”
“Disciple has seen that person from Daoyi Palace before. There’s no doubt about it.” Pei Qingshu nodded and said, “However, that person from Daoyi Palace said that there’s something strange about the Nine Elders of the Immortal Sects that shocked him. Perhaps it involves a higher level.”
“Is the person from Daoyi Palace still living?” Cui Heng asked.
“His lifespan is almost up.” Pei Qingshu sighed and said, “As long as that person from Daoyi Palace dies, the Nine Elders of the Immortal sects will no longer have any worries. Junior Sister and I will probably be in danger.”
“With me around, you’ll be fine.” Cui Heng smiled.
“Thank you, Immortal Venerable!” Pei Qingshu hurriedly bowed.
“Do you know what state the Nine Elders of the Immortal sects are in?” Cui Heng asked again.
“The Nine Elders of the Immortal Sects have been in seclusion all this while. There are rumors that they are about to come out of seclusion recently,” Pei Qingshu said. “The person from Daoyi Palace judged that the Nine Elders need to suppress the strange power in their bodies, so they have been in seclusion.”
“What is that strange power?” Cui Heng asked.
“I’m not sure. The person from Daoyi Palace didn’t say anything either.” Pei Qingshu shook his head.
“Looks like I have to take the time to go to Daoyi Palace.” Cui Heng smiled and stood up. He said to Pei Qingshu, “Follow me to take a walk in the sky.”
“Yes, Immortal Venerable!” Pei Qingshu hurriedly stood up and nodded.
In the next moment, he felt his vision blur and heard the sound of the wind whistling in his ears. When he focused his gaze, he realized that he was already in the clouds.
Cui Heng stood beside him and looked into the distance. Suddenly, he said, “Qingshu, have you been to the Lower World?”
“No.” Pei Qingshu shook his head. He did not understand why Cui Heng would suddenly ask this, but he still answered truthfully, “I’m not allowed to leave the Heavenly Void World.”
“If you’ve been to the Lower World, you’ll discover that the Heavenly Void World is actually surprisingly small.” Cui Heng’s gaze was deep as he said in a low voice, “A world with a round sky and land still has visible edges of the earth and the sea. This world is very small.”
“…” Pei Qingshu did not say anything. He did not quite understand what Cui Heng meant.
“Previously, I was wondering if the Nine Elders of the Immortal Sects were at the Sixth Realm of the Immortal World or even higher. After all, they were already at the Fourth Realm 3,000 years ago.” Cui Heng smiled. “From the looks of it, it shouldn’t be possible. How can so many divine dragons appear in such a small pool?”
“Immortal Venerable, you’re overthinking. How can the Nine Elders of the Immortal Sects be at the Sixth Realm?” Pei Qingshu was surprised that Cui Heng would have such thoughts. “There’s probably no Fifth Realm Immortal in the entire Heavenly Void World.”
“So, after hearing what you said earlier, I made a decision.” Cui Heng pointed below and saw a scarlet flame flying towards the surrounding realm.
It was the Nine Fire Flame Dragon.
Its claws held the descendants of the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect.
“I plan to destroy an Immortal sect first,” Cui Heng said indifferently.
After figuring out the strength of the Nine Immortal Sects, he planned to send a Nine Fire Flame Dragon over to investigate the situation and also test the true strength of the so-called Nine Elders.
This Nine Fire Flame Dragon had already been raised to the late-stage Golden Core realm.
If the Nine Elders of the Immortal Sects had really not reached the Fifth Realm,
Perhaps they were really going to be wiped out.
“Exterminate an Immortal sect first? Try?!” Pei Qingshu was shocked. His voice was trembling, and his heart was filled with shock.
Although Cui Heng had always been that supreme Immortal Venerable in his heart, he was still extremely shocked when Immortal Venerable spoke about destroying an Immortal sect so simply.
What was an Immortal sect?
This was the source of civilization in the entire Heavenly Void World, and also the source of all martial arts. It was a peak faction that had existed since ancient times.
They could be said to be the Ancestral Masters of most people in the entire Heavenly Void World.
To a certain extent, as long as they were living beings of the Heavenly Void World, it was impossible for them to have the power to fight against the Immortal Sects.
Both Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong had learned martial arts from outside the Heavenly Void World.
Daoyi Palace did not belong to the Heavenly Void World to begin with.
However, even if they joined forces, they would not be able to completely suppress the Nine Immortal sects, let alone destroy any of them.
Now, Cui Heng made it sound so easy.
“How powerful is Immortal Venerable?” Pei Qingshu exclaimed in his heart.
“It’s just an attempt. It might not succeed.” Cui Heng smiled and said, “Tell me how you’ve lived all these years. And the Li Mingqiong you know.”
“Yes, Immortal Venerable.” Pei Qingshu nodded and was about to start explaining when Cui Heng suddenly waved his hand to stop him. “You’re still calling me Immortal Venerable?” Cui Heng looked at him with a faint smile. “Didn’t you already call yourself my disciple?”
“I…” Pei Qingshu’s eyes widened when he heard this. He was overjoyed in his heart. “Master!”
