Chapter 579 Shou Chang Descends to the Mortal Realm for Details (Part 2)
Let's see how many companies jump out.

Su Che thought for a moment, slightly puzzled. He, the Third Young Master Su, had indeed visited the ancient underworld city of Luofeng.

That place was certainly eerie enough, but as for whether it could offer any endless benefits, Su Che really couldn't see where the benefits lay.

"Xuandu Palace has decided that, just like the future Underworld competition, no one above the True Person level will be allowed to participate, and the same rules will be applied. The Ancestral Master has already made a plan. This time, you will lead the team. Select a few handsome and talented young masters like your senior brother and me, and bring a few important sect artifacts to show the world."

"I'm not qualified to lead the team."

Upon hearing this, Su Che quickly waved his hand.

Just kidding. If we're talking about years of cultivation, Senior Brother Li's pets might have been around longer than I have, and he associates with experts at the Void Step stage. I haven't even managed to condense my Core Formation yet.

"Actually, it's not complicated at all."

Li Shouchang said, "The game in the ancient underworld is another matter. That match was fixed, and we were guaranteed to win. But this time is different."

"When the predecessors of the Celestial Masters Sect sealed the demon, they had already foreseen the current situation. Therefore, that powerful Earth Immortal made a backup plan."

"Backhand?"

"That's right. That void rift was once personally suppressed by the Earth Immortal Ancestor of the Celestial Masters Sect. It is said that he even built an immortal palace in it. No Heavenly Demon above the Heavenly Tribulation level can unleash its power in it, otherwise it will be directly annihilated."

"Moreover, there are still arrangements left inside that immortal abode, which can directly separate this void rift from this world, but someone needs to be in charge to activate it."

Li Shouchang explained, "Xuandu Palace means that each of our sects will send a team in. Whoever can find that immortal abode first and complete the separation will be considered to have made a great contribution and will be able to obtain a talisman for entering and leaving the ancient underworld. This matter is extremely dangerous, and we don't know how many sects are preparing to participate. However, our sect, Shenxiao Sect, and Tianshi Sect have all confirmed their participation."

"As for the East Sea Sword Palace, the Southern Demonic Sect, and even the Buddhist Kingdom in the west, Xuandu Palace's intention is that since they are related to this world, they are welcome to come as long as they are willing."

"The immortal abode of a Celestial Master Daoist immortal?"

These words were somewhat unexpected for Su Che.

Originally, it was thought that the matter would come to an end after the master of the Celestial Masters Sect suppressed the Nine Yuan Demon Lord, but unexpectedly, he lingered here for a while.

“Yes,” Li Shouchang said with a hint of doubt on his face. “I heard that the connection between the Blood River Realm and this place was also a plan by the Celestial Masters’ sect. It was to take back the remains of the Azure Emperor that had fallen into the hands of the Mighty and Fearless Heavenly Demon King. After all, the Five Emperors of the Ancient Five Directions are the ancestors of my Xuanmen. How could they fall into the hands of the Heavenly Demon? But such a plan is a bit too childish.”

Using the void gaps to directly connect this world with the Demon Kingdom of the Lord of the End of Dharma sounds absurd, yet the masters of the Celestial Masters sect actually did it.

You must know that if you're not careful, this could end up corrupting the entire world with demonic influence. Isn't this the kind of daring and decisive spirit of those cultivators from the ancient times?

"So this is a good opportunity to see Junior Brother Su's skill in maneuvering and diplomacy."

Li Shouchang laughed heartily: "It is truly exhilarating to fight alongside you and me, brothers."

"So, should our Xuanmen act in unison and travel in groups, or should we fight individually? Has the patriarch made any arrangements?"

Su Che remembered that Huang Tiandao and Shenxiaodao were very close, but Huang Tiandao didn't seem to like Tianshidao at all, and even seemed to have some enmity with them.

"Our patriarch said we should follow your arrangements. In this round, we won't fight over the talisman or think about the rare treasures in the immortal palace. After all, this is the Celestial Masters' home ground, and they definitely have other plans. The main thing is to cooperate with each other, show our sect's prestige, and prepare for the upcoming Underworld Assembly."

Li Shouchang said solemnly, "Our patriarch has already made calculations. There are heretical demons behind this scheme with ulterior motives. We must be careful. I have heard that a demon saint has already entered the Central Plains from the East Sea."

Demon Saints? Since the ancient demon gods perished, the remaining primordial creatures are mostly few and far between, posing no real threat. Only a few remnants remain in certain places in the East Sea. The powerful beings still existing among them are all revered as Demon Saints, but they are closely guarded by various sects like the Xuanmen, so they generally do not appear in the world, either traveling far into the cosmos or hiding in secluded, lush mountains and clear waters.

Why are such old monsters coming to the Central Plains now?

"With the Xuandu Palace guarding the Central Plains, the Demon Saint himself should not be able to come in person; at most, he may send an avatar. However, we must still be careful, as their supernatural powers are unbelievable."

Li Shouchang's expression turned serious: "This round will test Junior Brother Su's abilities."

"I will certainly do my best to do so and not tarnish the reputation of our sect."

“Junior brother, I have been preparing to set up a thatched hut at Zhixin Temple these past few days to welcome all of you fellow disciples to the mortal realm.”

Li Shouchang said, "It will be troublesome for you, Junior Brother, to make a trip to Chunhua Qiuyue Tower in three days."

Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon Pavilion?
Upon hearing this word, Su Che was somewhat bewildered.

Of course, Young Master Su knew this place. It was a well-known brothel in Jiankang City, and a particularly vulgar one at that.

There was absolutely no talk of selling one's art but not one's body, talking about feelings, or how difficult things were at home.

As long as they come, it's a joyful occasion, and a particularly vulgar one at that, a pure and innocent kind of joy.

What's wrong, Senior Brother Li? Do you think the Red Sleeve Pavilion run by the Demonic Sect is boring and want to have some fun?
"Even in the midst of the bustling world, one can still have a clear mind and a beautiful woman can serve as my alchemical furnace. If you are interested, senior brother, I will make arrangements right away and ensure that you experience the beauty of spring in the Great Liang."

Su Che still quite liked this Senior Brother Li. Food and sex are human nature, so let him have his fun if he wants.

"No."

Li Shouchang looked shocked and said, "Junior Brother Su, please don't tease me like this. I am a gentleman."

"I am also a gentleman, Senior Brother Li."

Su Che looked at Li Shouchang, wondering what he meant.

"Junior Brother Su has misunderstood. The one who presides over the Xuandu Palace is Master Puxiang."

Looking at Su Che's bewildered eyes, Li Shouchang said, "Alas, my dear brother, you haven't been cultivating for long enough to know this man's character."

"what?"

"Anyway, you'll find out when you go see him. He'll be waiting for us, the leaders of our various factions, at this place in three days."

Li Shouchang looked at Su Che and said, "I think the patriarch must have known that this person was in charge of this matter, which is why he had such keen insight and arranged for you to lead our team."

Su Che frowned slightly.

It seems that I have been personally attacked by Senior Brother Li.
