Junior sister took first place again

"Master Nanming."

When they reached Hanshan Mountain, Immortal Master Jiyun put down his teacup, stood up and bowed to Immortal Master Nanming. The other three immortal masters also bowed to him.

Nanming Immortal Venerable nodded in return.

"Thank you for waiting. I was delayed for a while while going to get something necessary. Now we will start immediately. Everyone, please—"

Without waiting for the crowd to exchange greetings, Immortal Venerable Nanming simply waved his hand, and a transparent barrier immediately rose up in the area.

Then, an exquisite green jade scroll emitting a halo and engraved with the auspicious beast Qilin appeared in the air and opened horizontally at lightning speed. The 100,000 mountains in the painting appeared vividly in front of the few people.

It turned out to be the sacred artifact of the Xingchen Sect - the Ten Directions Scroll!

Inside is a vast fairyland that is no less vast than any other state. Not only is the spiritual energy rich and there is no danger, but more importantly, it is shrouded in fog. Once inside, no matter what means are used, no one can be found.

Even if the Immortal Venerable Nanming personally used the other party's horoscope or hair and skin to calculate, he could not find the direction, and could only rely on luck to find it.

This is a completely independent world, which can guarantee that what is said today will never be known to a fifth person.

Seeing Immortal Venerable Nanming take out the Ten Directions Scroll, not only did the pupils of several sect leaders shrink, but even Immortal Venerable Yunhua looked at the scroll in the air in surprise, and then frowned solemnly in his heart.

Senior brother hasn't come out of retreat yet. He came here with only a divine thought and brought a divine weapon to ensure that no word of today's meeting can be leaked. It seems that things have developed much more difficult than he had previously calculated.

Thinking of this, Yun Hua Xian Zun bowed solemnly to everyone and said, "The sect master has arrived. I will take my leave first. The three sect masters, please come in."

Immortal Master Jiyun and the others knew that Immortal Master Yunhua was now temporarily taking over the position of Sect Master and had many things to do. In order not to be rude, he had come here in person to receive them first. Upon hearing what they had said, they simply said goodbye to him.

After Immortal Venerable Yunhua came down the mountain, the eyes of several sect leaders darkened, and their spiritual thoughts flew into the Ten Directions Scroll one after another, starting today's business.

Nanming Immortal Venerable didn't waste any words. After entering, he once again released a barrier to isolate the grass and beast creatures in the painting, and said seriously:

"The demon clan has undergone a change. An evil demon that transcends the five elements has appeared within the demon clan. This has been going on for over three hundred years."

The three sect leaders were stunned by Nanming Immortal Venerable's words. Shuyin Immortal Venerable frowned and asked decisively:

"Then why did you wait until now?"

"Wait! Three hundred years?"

Immortal Master Jiyun took over the conversation, his expression solemn, "Three hundred years ago, my master ascended to heaven, and the Demon King of the Sun Palace fell...?"

Immortal Master Jiyun looked closely at Immortal Master Nanming. After being reminded by him, the other two suddenly remembered this special year and cast inquiring glances at Immortal Master Nanming.

As expected, Immortal Nanming nodded, confirming Immortal Jiyun's guess.

"Both of these events are closely related to this demon. I originally thought it had been slain, but I never imagined it was merely dormant."

"It wasn't until more than a decade ago, while observing the stars, that I discovered its presence again. However, divination revealed that no one in the world could slay it. The only hope for survival was to wait for the destined one to appear."

Wushuang Xianzun then asked pointedly, "The Sect Master is saying that since the chosen one has already appeared, why not make arrangements to bring him to meet us?"

"The Chosen One is too weak right now. The fewer people who know about it, the better her safety will be. If all your attention is focused on her, it will draw too much attention."

Nanming Immortal Venerable said calmly, and then continued to tell the three people in front of him what he needed to say.

"This demon clan has been hiding behind the scenes. Perhaps they have existed for even longer than I know. The conflict between humans and demons has become increasingly acute, and I'm afraid the demon clan is also involved."

"I invited you here this time to inform the various clan leaders that all states should do their best to ease the tensions with Youzhou. If war really comes to a head, delay it until a later time. Otherwise, once the two clans go to war, it will surely be the time for the demons to invade."

"Secondly, the heavens have changed. The demons are now more powerful than ever before, and now they have a new demon that is not within the Five Elements. Regardless of whether humans and demons go to war or not, the day of their massive invasion of the Five States is imminent."

"The situation of the person with destiny is more complicated than I thought. The only solution now is to open the Cangwu Secret Realm in advance to allow her and her disciples to grow up as quickly as possible, so that they can have the strength to resist the invasion of the demons."

"That's why I sent a message to the three sect leaders. After spreading the news, arrange for candidates from each sect as soon as possible to prepare for the Cangwu Trial."

After Nanming Immortal Venerable finished speaking, the reactions of the several sect leaders varied, but without exception, they all looked unhappy.

Fortunately, these people are all capable and hard-working. To have reached their current level of cultivation and become the leaders of top sects, they have all gone through many ups and downs.

After a while, they adjusted their mindsets and began to discuss together the general rules of the major sects for these matters.

For example, when will the Cangwu Secret Realm be opened? How will the various states and sects in the abyss be adjusted? And so on.

It was not until the sky was slightly drunk that the four sect leaders came out of the Ten Directions Scroll and dispersed.
