Translator: Tamon Translation Checker: Silavin As the Absolute Domain covered the Soaring Immortal Mountain, it became the first ever Immortal Mountain, in every sense of the word, on the Nine Province Continent. Not a day went by that one could not see Demons cultivating on it. The great rewards they reaped every time they cultivated here made the Demons acclaim Soaring Immortal Mountain as their holy land. Due to the Immortal Land, of course. It boosted their training speed to unseen heights. They also were not the only ones to gain from personal growth, since Chen Changan reaped a ton of Domain Points as a consequence. All was quiet on this blissful morning on the Soaring Immortal Mountain as the sun crested from the east. Chen Changan welcomed the dawn of this new day in his own way by practicing tai chi in the Eternity Temple. Ling Bao’er and Foxy copied his every move behind him. The flow changed as Chen Changan practiced, from swift to slow, from sharp to gentle, the rhythm not breaking once. It painted Chen Changan in a mystical light, with Yin and Yang blending around him in perfect balance, further deepening the mystery the two girls had when they watched him practice. Two lights streaked the sky before landing in the Eternity Temple. Ling Hai and Ling Qingshan made themselves small, not wanting to disturb his practice, as they patiently waited to the side. They were most happy to do it too, since witnessing such an incredible display of mystical forces at work in the practice of this simple art shocked them to the core. [What is Senior practicing? Yin and Yang are revolving; the Dao is showing itself! How magical!] The might behind this punch made them recall how Chen Changan slapped the Immortal into the afterlife. Once he finished his practice, Chen Changan felt fresher than ever, not feeling the soreness or tiredness one would get from the usual training. Only then did he notice the two. “Why have you come?” He figured it had to be over something important to warrant their visit. [Here’s to hoping more Immortals are coming for a fight.] “Dad.” Ling Bao’er greeted. Ling Qingshan nodded. He was gratified beyond belief to have his Daughter learn from Senior. Ling Hai offered an invitation with the utmost respect. “Senior, the Ancient Phoenix Sect entrusted us to give you this.” “An invitation?” Ling Hai replied, “Senior, the Continent Assembly, held once every three centuries, will begin three days from now, this time organized by the Ancient Phoenix Sect in Ghost Province. The powers that be will all be there, and due to Senior’s meteoric rise and your name spreading to every corner, each faction of Ghost Province hopes Senior could attend.” “Ancient Phoenix Sect, you say.” Chen Changan mutters. [Master’s letter had me going there to find Ming He, a close friend of his.] Not that there was a point to it now since he had the Absolute Domain to shore up his Eternal Body. That did not mean he was not interested in seeing what kind of friend his Master had. “I wonder if you know of someone in the Ancient Phoenix Sect.” “Ask away, Senior.” “Ming He, does the name sound familiar?” Ling Hai and Ling Qingshan started. “Senior, Ming He is the Holy Lady of the Ancient Phoenix Sect. She controls it.” Chen Changan was stunned. [To think she’s that important.] He pegged Ming He at least an Elder, though not the very top. Then, again, it made sense. An Elder would not be enough to protect him. With Ming He as the Holy Lady of the Ancient Phoenix Sect, his safety would be assured. “The Ancient Phoenix Sect is holding the Continent Assembly.” Chen Changan squinted in thought as he took the invitation. Ling Hai and Ling Qingshan eased their breath. They thought he’d refuse. Ling Hai bowed. “Senior’s participation will cause a stir in the Ghost Province and will make the assembly livelier.” Ling Bao’er’s eyes lit up in excitement. “Master, are you going? Can I come as well?” “Ya, yi, ya, yi!” Chen Changan smiled. “I took the invitation, but I’ve yet to agree about going.”
