第两千零二十七章 天岚仙子

"Go ahead."

Lin Xuan waved his hand. There was no need to try and retain him.

"Thank you, Grandmaster."

The woman in a court dress bowed respectfully before transforming into a streak of light that flew off towards the distance. The surroundings soon fell silent as the girl with the baby face stood still, her head lowered, not daring to breathe. A grandmaster of the Core Formation realm had arrived here, and she felt quite intimidated.

Lin Xuan shook his head. He could easily guess what was going through her mind, for he too had once been a low-rank cultivator. Suddenly seeing such an advanced senior cultivator made him both fearful and eager to learn more.

To put it simply, if a high-level old monster suddenly appeared now, his feelings would be similar to hers.

"Lead the way in front of me. You needn't be afraid; just follow my instructions carefully, and I won't make things difficult for you. In fact, there will be some benefits for you." Lin Xuan said calmly.

"Yes, thank you, Grandmaster."

The girl's face lit up with joy. After all, the other party was a Core Formation realm cultivator. Even if they just took out one treasure item, it would be enough to last her a lifetime.

She hurriedly bowed and led Lin Xuan towards the ancestral hall of the grandmasters.

Lin Xuan had his own purpose for coming here as well.

The Nine Palaces Instant Sword Array was something he knew about from when he was in the mortal realm. Back then, he didn't pay much attention to it, only thinking that it was a good array but not necessary for cultivation. However, later on, he changed his mind. The reason? He had obtained the middle section of the Mo Yue Clan's treasure from the Hundred Toxin Divine Lord, which turned out to be the Core Formation realm part of this array. This meant he now possessed half of the Mo Yue Immortal Technique, making it much more feasible for him to cultivate.

Who knew how long it would take before he could advance to the Spirit Separation realm?

But Lin Xuan was a man who planned his moves carefully. Even though he didn't need to worry about the rest of the cultivation techniques now, early preparation was always better.

Especially when there was an opportunity, one shouldn't let it slip away.

If the Nine Palaces Instant Sword Array in the Far Horizon Immortal Pavilion truly had anything to do with the Mo Yue Clan, perhaps there would be clues regarding the Mo Yue Immortal Technique through sacrifice.

---

He didn't need to tell Liu Ying and the others about this. It was better to rely on himself than to ask for help. Lin Xuan decided to go to the ancestral hall himself to seek out any clues.

Following the lead of that girl with the baby face, they encountered no obstacles as they quickly arrived at the ancestral hall.

Although it was called an ancestral hall, it wasn't a large hall but rather a place where all cultivators who reached the婴灵 realm from each generation could be enshrined. However, their treatment varied depending on their rank.

The元婴 cultivators of each generation were grouped together like in a family's ancestral hall, while those at the离合 realm had individual shrines and received more respect and offerings.

Following the girl's lead, Lin Xuan entered a beautifully decorated room.

Once inside, he was momentarily stunned before his expression turned to one of bemusement. The shrine enshrined here was him!

On the golden pedestal were tablets listing his name: Far Horizon Immortal Pavilion, 2379th Supreme Grandmaster Lin Xuan. Hanging on the wall behind it was a scroll painting in ink and wash depicting his likeness. His appearance and demeanor were vividly portrayed.

"Why did you bring me here?"

Lin Xuan had long known that the Far Horizon Immortal Pavilion enshrined his spirit tablet, but seeing it firsthand still felt strange.

"Of course not, Grandmaster, I beg your forgiveness," the girl was shocked and quickly knelt down. However, she also looked a bit委屈: "But you didn't say where we were going, so I thought..."

Lin Xuan scratched his head; he had made a mistake. If he hadn't been clear, anyone would have brought him here.

"I'm going to the spirit tablet of Fairy Tian Lan."

"Tian Lan Fairy?" The girl tilted her head, momentarily unable to recall which grandmaster it was.

After all, the Far Horizon Immortal Pavilion had been passed down from ancient times and now had over 2300 generations. Countless元婴 and离合 cultivators had lived through these years; even if a cultivator had an excellent memory, how could she remember every single ancestor?

"Tian Lan Fairy was the nineteenth-generation grandmaster and a cultivator of the 离合 realm," Lin Xuan sighed and gave her some guidance.

"Oh, I understand now."

The girl's face lit up. With such detailed information, there was no reason to get lost. She immediately led Lin Xuan towards the third level.

They passed through winding corridors until they arrived at a small courtyard that looked nothing like an enshrined spirit tablet place but rather like the private chamber of a noblewoman.

"Grandmaster, this is where it is."

"Hmm, stay outside and don't go in."

"Yes, Grandmaster."

The girl obediently bowed and stood still. Lin Xuan then entered the room.

Inside, the decor was ancient and elegant, far from resembling an enshrined spirit tablet place. His eyes fell on a divine inscription.

"Far Horizon Immortal Pavilion's nineteenth-generation grandmaster Tian Lan Fairy."

This was indeed her. Following that, Lin Xuan's gaze shifted to the wall behind.

Another ink-and-wash scroll painting showed a woman in white robes, looking no more than twenty-seven or eight years old, also an outstanding beauty. However, this painting didn't reveal anything extraordinary. Lin Xuan then turned his attention to the altar before him.

On it lay an jade eyeball, and inside was a brief account of her life story.

And unlike others who wrote such accounts, these were usually left by the supreme grandmaster just before their lifespan expired.

Lin Xuan picked up the jade eyeball scroll and without hesitation, sank his divine sense into it.

The first part detailed Tian Lan Fairy's life. It included how she embarked on the path of cultivation and some major events in her life. Lin Xuan skipped over these parts as they had nothing to do with what he was looking for.

He spent several hours reading before suddenly raising an eyebrow, his expression turning serious.

Sure enough, his guess was correct; the Nine Palaces Instant Sword Array did indeed have something to do with the Mo Yue Clan.

That happened when Tian Lan Fairy just recently advanced to the 离合 realm.

Even in ancient times, a cultivator of the 离合 realm would be considered top-notch. After advancing successfully, Tian Lan Fairy was elated and went out on a journey. She arrived at Tianzhou...

Tianzhou?

Lin Xuan's expression changed; during ancient times, that place had been more advanced than Yunzhou in terms of cultivation.

Later, she coincidentally saved a Mo Yue Clan shaman and exchanged cultivation insights with the tribe for some time.

What happened during this period was not mentioned in the jade eyeball scroll, but it hinted that there were connections between the Nine Palaces Instant Sword Array and the Mo Yue Clan.

"Sure enough."

Lin Xuan raised his head, his face showing signs of joy. It seemed he had guessed correctly; the Nine Palaces Instant Sword Array at the Far Horizon Immortal Pavilion was indeed related to the Mo Yue Clan.

Although Tian Lan Fairy didn't explain what happened, she did clearly state the location of the Mo Yue tribe. With time passing, perhaps there would be some remnants left there. Lin Xuan had already made up his mind; he must visit Tianzhou once.

Since he had found what he was looking for, Lin Xuan wouldn't stay here any longer. After burning a stick of incense at Tian Lan Fairy's spirit tablet, he departed gracefully.

"Grandmaster."

The girl with the baby face was still waiting outside. Seeing Lin Xuan come out, she smiled widely. Although she was curious about his purpose, she didn't dare speak casually.

Lin Xuan waved his sleeve and a streak of red light shot out. The light dissipated to reveal a peculiar-looking throwing knife.

"You've been good. I said I would give you some benefits. Take this Fiery Blade; it's a treasure from the Spirit Realm, and its quality and power should far exceed your current treasures."

"Thank you, Grandmaster."

The girl was overjoyed. Lin Xuan waved his hand as green light enveloped him before he left the ancestral hall.

Over the next two days, Lin Xuan stayed in the Far Horizon Immortal Pavilion to wait for the second婴灵to join him.

Although he didn't know the outcome of the Pine Wind Academy, the lack of any spiritual signs meant that the little one was safe. During this time, Lin Xuan wasn't idle either; with a Core Formation realm cultivator present here, Liu Ying and the others would surely come to seek cultivation insights!~!
