Chapter 1289: Chapter 36: Are You Looking for Me?

Three Eternal Envoys stood tall in the void.

The surrounding space-time was distorted, concealing all their auras.

To arrive here from the center of the world, the three Eternal Envoys not only had powers reaching the Third Realm of Freedom.

They also mastered various methods to conceal their presence.

Without the latter, if they encountered the Source Demon unexpectedly.

Even in the Third Realm of Freedom, as strong as an Eternal Son.

They would be exhausted just trying to escape alive.

“Something’s amiss.”

After a warning from the silver-eyed middle-aged man, the man and woman behind him also became alert.

They hadn’t realized this point in time because their range of investigation wasn’t as broad as the silver-eyed middle-aged man.

If there were only a few demons in a small range, it wouldn’t be unusual.

However, as the man and woman probed into a larger region, they also found that the demons in the entire area were scarce.

In other areas, not speaking of Source Demons, they would detect a Great Demon at intervals.

Even terrifying Giant Demons approaching the Source Demon level.

Yet here.

The demons rampant in this world had become rare?

At least, according to the investigation results of the three Eternal Envoys, they only discovered some Demon Spirits, which had recently been newly conceived and born.

“Could something major have happened in this area?”

The silver-eyed middle-aged man exchanged a glance with the other two Eternal Envoys, looking solemn.

The absence of any significant demons in such a large area was not a good sign.

With the power of the Qingyun Saint Sect, it was impossible to accomplish this.

Even if they could, they wouldn’t do it.

Unless the power was absolutely overwhelming, cleansing the entire area of demons would only attract more numerous and powerful demons closer.

The demons between heaven and earth are endless, even the Eternal Sect can only defend with difficulty.

For other sect forces, the most effective method is to conceal themselves completely, rather than direct confrontation.

Because they simply can’t fight them all.

Demons don’t die, even if their bodies are obliterated, they will be reborn elsewhere.

“The communication symbol of Qingyun Saint Sect has not been destroyed, nor is it in motion, and hasn’t been tainted by Demonic Qi…” The silver-eyed middle-aged man slightly stirred his thoughts, manifesting a green symbol before him and feeling it carefully.

The communication symbols bestowed upon various Holy Sects by the Eternal Sect possess not only transmission and positioning capabilities but can also simply perceive the surrounding environment.

At least so far, the communication symbol of Qingyun Saint Sect hasn’t suffered any damage or impact.

“What do we do now?”

The female Eternal Envoy asked.

The scarcity of demons in this area was making them uneasy.

“I will take another look.”

With a turn of his right hand, the silver-eyed middle-aged man conjured yet another symbol.

This symbol appeared purple, and as it floated, a hidden surge dispersed in all directions.

“There are no overly powerful demons in the surrounding area.”

A moment later, the silver-eyed middle-aged man retracted the purple symbol, frowning.

The lack of demon presence on a wide scale might indicate the birth of a more powerful demon in this area.

While demons lack thoughts, they possess instincts to retreat when confronted with a more powerful demon.

However, upon investigating with a special symbol, the silver-eyed man did not detect any trace or aura of a powerful demon.

“Strange, very strange.”

The three Eternal Envoys exchanged looks.

Even in the center of the world, it was rare to encounter such a situation.

An entire region devoid of demons and no trace of a more powerful demon.

Of course, this was based on the premise that Qingyun Saint Sect did not have the capability to sweep the surroundings.

And even if they had the ability, there would be no need for such sweeping.

“Should we still go to Qingyun Saint Sect?”

The male Eternal Envoy couldn’t help but ask.

“We are here, carrying the will of the great Eternal Lord.”

The silver-eyed middle-aged man surveyed the surroundings, “If Qingyun Saint Sect were destroyed, naturally there would be no need to go, but from the situation detected by the communication symbol, Qingyun Saint Sect is still there.”

This suggests.

They still have to go.

“Indeed.”

The female Eternal Envoy nodded.

Now, in the center of the world, the forces of numerous Eternal Sects are struggling against the Source Demons.

A great number of powerful beings have fallen, it must be known… the powerful ones who fall to the Source Demons have their minds and wills eroded, their means of retaining life would fail, leading to complete demise.

Thus, the current Eternal Sect urgently needs fresh blood, and part of that blood relies on the many Holy Sects and Supreme Saint Sects still carrying on the legacy.

Although the Holy Sect and Supreme Saint Sect are quite unwilling about this, they do not dare refuse.

The reason the Holy and Supreme Saint Sect can still persist under the demonic disaster is because the forces of Eternal Sect have been holding back the most powerful demons.

If the Eternal Sect forces cannot hold on, other Holy Sects and Supreme Saint Sects would be quickly breached by demons as well.

The Eternal Sect forces holding down the line gives the Holy and Supreme Saint Sect hope to continue their legacy.

“Let’s go.”

“But be cautious.”

Gathering his thoughts, the silver-eyed man continued onward toward the location of Qingyun Saint Sect.

However, compared to before their arrival, the silver-eyed man was much more cautious now.

Given their strength, they could rampage through this area without concern, but the disappearance of a large number of demons made the three Eternal Envoys highly vigilant.

Time passed.

One or two years later.

The three Eternal Envoys finally arrived near the Qingyun Sacred Mountain.

“That’s where the Qingyun Saint Sect is located.”

The man with silver eyes looked at a gray peak in the distance.

Through the contact runes, he sensed and confirmed that it was the Qingyun Sacred Mountain.

“Seems alright.”

The two Eternal Envoys behind him carefully observed for a while and slightly relaxed.

With their strength, they could naturally see the runes operating all over the gray peak.

This meant that cultivators were stationed inside.

If it were broken by ‘demons’, it would be a ruin.

“But we can’t be careless.”

The man with silver eyes did not act rashly: “Why is the Qingyun Saint Sect still here when so many ‘demons’ have disappeared in this area?”

“Indeed.”

The other two Eternal Envoys nodded with solemn expressions.

The more normal the Qingyun Sacred Mountain appeared, the more abnormal it seemed to them.

“I will first send an avatar to sneak into Qingyun Sacred Mountain and investigate. Only after confirming there’s no issue will I inform the Sect Master of the Holy Sect.” The man with silver eyes was cautious and didn’t plan to have the Holy Sect’s Sect Master come out to greet them immediately.

He wanted to see what allowed the Qingyun Saint Sect to stand in this area.

“Hmm.”

The two Eternal Envoys behind him nodded.

This was the safest approach.

If the Qingyun Saint Sect had no issues, then they were just overthinking, with no loss incurred.

But if some earth-shattering change occurred, this action could save lives!

The three Eternal Envoys came with a mission and absolutely couldn’t afford any mishaps here.

With the combat strength of the Three Realms, and with all three present, losing them would still be quite a loss for the Eternal Sect.

Especially since the three Eternal Envoys had already visited some Holy Sect Supreme Sect, carrying with them seedlings of the Holy Sect Supreme Sect’s powerful individuals.

The man with silver eyes had a brief thought.

He split a portion of his aura, forming a figure, which was an avatar.

The avatar resembled the man with silver eyes in appearance but had a much weaker aura, making it easier to conceal.

The avatar of the man with silver eyes stepped in, his figure vanished, and his aura merged into the Qingyun Sacred Mountain.

As an Eternal Envoy, he had visited Qingyun Saint Sect many times, and the rune defensive array of Qingyun Sacred Mountain was sourced from the Eternal Sect.

Under these circumstances, the man with silver eyes had an unparalleled understanding of the rune defensive array, so he could easily infiltrate Qingyun Sacred Mountain’s interior.

The sect’s defensive array before and after the change of heaven and earth was completely different.

After the change, the sect’s defensive array was more inclined to suppress aura and isolate Demonic Qi, which was the result of assistance from the Eternal Sect at the center of the world.

Buzz~

Following the familiar oscillation of the rune defensive array.

The man with silver eyes smoothly reached the interior of the Sacred Mountain.

The disciples of the Holy Sect continued their cultivation in an orderly manner, with elders fulfilling their duties.

The man with silver eyes observed for a while but didn’t find anything.

“Sect Master of the Holy Sect?”

The man with silver eyes arrived at the highest hall of the Sacred Mountain and saw the Sect Master of the Holy Sect in closed-door cultivation.

The Sect Master of Qingyun Saint Sect was only a Sixth Realm longevity expert, while the man with silver eyes was still in the Third Realm. With such a huge disparity in strength, even if he was just an avatar, the Sect Master couldn’t detect him.

“I have basically scouted the entire Qingyun Sacred Mountain.”

The man with silver eyes stepped out of the hall and looked down: “Except for that place.”

The man with silver eyes turned his gaze to Qingyun Institute, where he vaguely perceived a void through his own senses.

He didn’t sense anything there; rather, he couldn’t sense the time and space deep within Qingyun Institute at all.

“Let’s go take a look.”

The man with silver eyes hesitated briefly before deciding to investigate.

At this moment, he was merely an avatar, so even if he encountered an irresistible danger, he would only lose an avatar at most.

Thinking of this, the man with silver eyes stepped to the entrance of Qingyun Institute.

…

Deep within Qingyun Institute.

Lin Yuan surveyed the silver-eyed man who had wandered around Qingyun Sacred Mountain.

In fact, Lin Yuan had already noticed when the three Eternal Envoys approached Qingyun Sacred Mountain.

After all, through the contact runes, Lin Yuan was well aware of the whereabouts and locations of the three Eternal Envoys.

From when the three Eternal Envoys stopped not far from Qingyun Sacred Mountain, to when they deliberately sent an avatar to sneak in until now, they were all under Lin Yuan’s watch.

“Quite vigilant.”

“Let’s meet them.”

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly and flipped his right hand.

…

At the entrance of Qingyun Institute.

The man with silver eyes was still considering how to enter.

Then he noticed the changing of time and space around him, finding himself silently shifted to another spatial position.

Before the man with silver eyes could react

Outside Qingyun Sacred Mountain.

The real body of the man with silver eyes, alongside the other two Eternal Envoys, suddenly felt space collapse, as if the space itself was captured.

“Where is this?”

The real body of the man with silver eyes and the other two Eternal Envoys looked around, their scalps tingling with shock.
