After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

A piece of news suddenly spread throughout the cultivation world: there were signs of the Five Elemental Pearls in a newly appeared secret realm in the east.

This news was like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pan, causing all the cultivators in the Cloud Sea Continent to boil over, and they all headed to the secret realm in the east.

At this time, the Hall of Longevity naturally also received the news.

Dongtang Master Zhu Er spoke up: "Holy Maiden, the news of the Five Elemental Pearls could not have appeared earlier or later, but it just happened to appear as soon as the Palace Master went into seclusion. I'm afraid it's a trap."

Lu Shen, the West Hall Master, objected, saying, "Holy Maiden, the Five Elemental Pearls are of great importance. It's better to believe they exist than not. If those people really get their hands on the Five Elemental Pearls, wouldn't all our great cause be in vain? I am willing to lead a group to investigate."

Master Fan Bin of the Northern Hall nodded in agreement, “Holy Maiden, what Lu Shen said makes sense. Only the two protectors, you and the Holy Son, and the four of us knew about the Palace Master’s seclusion. Even the Young Master didn’t know, so no one else could know. It’s just a coincidence.”

Qi Fei, the newly appointed head of the Southern Hall after Zhao Jue's death, watched silently from the sidelines without offering any opinions, having seen all three express their views.

Jing Ji sat gracefully at the head of the table, frowning in thought. She looked at Qi Fei and asked, "Master Nan, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Fei bowed slightly and said, "Holy Maiden, this matter is indeed difficult to decide. If this news is true, it would be a real pity to miss the Five Elemental Pearls; if it is a trap, going there rashly may result in losses. In my opinion, we can first send a dozen people to investigate the truth. If the Five Elemental Pearls are indeed there, it will not be too late to send more people."

After hearing this, Mirror Princess nodded slightly, agreeing that this method was indeed good.

"I'm leaving this matter to you," Mirror Princess ordered.

Qi Fei respectfully replied, "Yes."

Jing Ji continued, "Master is currently in seclusion. We must hurry up with the arrangements at Yixiantian. Young Master is already in the late Nascent Soul stage and will soon reach the Divine Transformation stage. The great undertaking is about to be accomplished, so we must not slacken our efforts."

The four responded in unison, "Yes, Holy Maiden."

"Go down."

The four accepted the order and withdrew. Mirror Princess got up and left, arriving at an unusually gloomy cave.

Painful screams could be heard from the cave from time to time, extremely shrill. If a timid person came here, they would surely be so frightened that they would turn around and run away.

But for Mirror Princess, the voice was as beautiful as music. The suffering of others was her source of joy. The person who shared the same thoughts was the Holy Son, Rei-ei, who was now the source of suffering for others.

Jing Ji slowly walked into the cave, where she saw Lian Ying manipulating strange and evil energy to draw into the bodies of several bound cultivators. Soon, these cultivators were all on her side.

Lianying noticed Jingji's arrival, stopped what he was doing, and instructed the guards beside him: "Take her away, and send a few more over later."

The guards nearby quickly dragged the several suffering cultivators away.

Lian Ying smiled wickedly: "Holy Maiden, is there something important to discuss with you?"

Jing Ji pursed her lips and told him about the Five Elemental Pearls.

Lian Ying's eyes sharpened, and after a moment of thought, he said, "If the Five Elemental Pearls truly exist, obtaining them would be of great help to our great cause; if it is a trap, then it means that the real Five Elemental Pearls have been hidden, and they are trying to divert our attention."

Mirror Princess nodded slightly, agreeing with Rei's opinion.

Lian Ying continued, "You should first keep an eye on the situation of Qi Fei's group of investigators, and there must be no mistakes in the matter of the young master's Nascent Soul transformation."

"I know that," Mirror Princess replied. The two then discussed the details for a while before preparing for their next move.
