Through the millennia of the Three Sacred Lands, each time the disciples of the Celestial Saint Palace formed forces during Descent, these noble families should have joined, whether their members were direct descendants or not, at least dispatching a Nirvana Realm cultivator as a façade.

Not once has it been as desolate as it was for her, Qin Yi!

Why?

Just because she's not a Saintess?

But her disciple is!

No matter how hard Qin Yi tried to negotiate, the answer from Chen Tianchen's side was unwavering—that the Chen Family had declined and could no longer send people to support the Nanxuan Alliance. Even when Qin Yi mentioned the thought of using True Self Realm Chen Family members to hold key positions within the alliance, Chen Tianchen refused without hesitation.

This result was something Qin Yi never expected.

When she walked down Ziwei Mountain, she appeared somewhat lost in spirit.

Looking back at the towering mountains of Ziwei, she couldn't help but speak softly: "Senior Brother Li, is little Yi really so detestable that they wouldn't even want to be involved with me?"

"Never mind, the Chen Family treated you this way because they want clear positioning. Previously, the palace deprived them of interfering in Si State and Qing State. Actually, they're indeed unable to join your Nanxuan Alliance, but it's not your fault, little Yi." Li Ze, who rarely spoke at Longevity Hall, could only smile and comfort Qin Yi.

"It's still Qin Yi who is inexperienced. If Master Mo came, the Chen Family would sell her some face one way or another."

Li Ze: "..."

If Mo Qingyue came personally, at that time, it would be Chen Zhixing standing in my place, helping her form the alliance.

So.

Is Qin Yi dissatisfied with him now, starting to hint at him with words?

Comparing him to the junior Chen Zhixing....how can he compare!

Li Ze lowered his head, choosing not to speak further.

He was quite self-aware.

Even though among his peers he was considered extraordinarily gifted, now at seven hundred and six years old, he managed to attain the Peak Third Layer, he had a slight hope of proving longevity in the future.

But if you want him to compare to Chen Zhixing.

You must know, Chen Zhixing was at the Nirvana Seventh Layer, battling even with the Peak Third Layer, daring to boldly boast and let the Sunx Family's Supreme 'look up at the sky'.

What does 'look up at the sky' mean, back then above Sunx Family's Supreme stood Chen Zhixing!

Holding the Sword Cyan Pheasant alone, his spirit rose straight to the heavens.

One person returned to the south, in less than a week pacifying the Southern Domain turmoil.

Such a peerless talent, you ask how can Li Ze compare?

It's no exaggeration to say, when he first heard of Chen Zhixing's deeds, he drank with his friends for three days, with a slight admiration for this junior, feeling he accomplished the feat they wished for in youth but could never achieve.

Back then, he won the position of Master of the Noble Family, yet managed to disregard it, committing to helping the world as his duty, choosing seclusion after earning great fame.

If life could have such a moment, this life would not be in vain!

Not to mention, compared to Li Ze, who was unsure if he could prove the Dao in this life, everyone believed Chen Zhixing would someday prove longevity without any issues.

Not even if Chen Zhixing refused to join the Holy Land!

Refused to become a disciple of True Monarch Tihu!

Yet such a thing, happening to a person like him akin to a Banished Immortal, isn't it just as it should be?

...

After leaving Ziwei Mountain, Qin Yi visited several Southern Domain Families in succession.

But the results were similar to the trip to Ziwei Mountain.

Everyone knows what the Nanxuan Alliance is about, naturally unwilling to let their descendants join, even if some patriarchs wanted to deal with their rebellious members, they wouldn't choose to touch this bad omen now.

Walking without results, eventually Qin Yi even visited the Ancient Race residing in the Southern Wilderness massive mountains, and truly brought out a talented woman from the Ancient Race.

Guu Xun.

A Nirvana Realm Ancient Race member, a direct descendant of the Ancient Race's Longevity True Monarch, and she's beautiful, a type that upon first sight, would captivate one's heart.

The only thing that made Qin Yi slightly uncomfortable was, during a casual chat between the two, talking about her previous visit to Ziwei Mountain, this Ancient Race noble lady outwardly showed great admiration for the Ziwei Chen Family. However, Chen Yi still felt from her tone and posture that she seemed to harbor hostility toward the Banished Immortal of the Ziwei Chen Family.

This made Qin Yi somewhat uncomfortable.

But soon, Qin Yi put this matter aside.

People are not perfect; liking someone is their own choice. No matter how big the name of Chen Zhixing the Banished Immortal gets, he can't make everyone in the world like him.

It's quite normal for people not to like him.

After Guu Xun joined the Nanxuan Alliance, the morale within the alliance surged in a moment, just because this Ancient Race noble lady casually mentioned at a banquet that she was of marriageable age and planned to see if she could meet her ideal person soon.

She did not specify her requirements.

This means everyone has a chance.

The opportunity to marry an Ancient Race noble lady....whoever marries her would truly reach the heavens in a single bound.

Not others, but even Li Ze, who often grew close to Qin Yi, had some thoughts about this Ancient Race lady who seemed wise and fair upon first glance.

Her charm is simply unimaginable!

On another day.

Personnel of the Nanxuan Alliance began searching for void nodes near the gaps between major families on Zhengnan Island, and this day, Guu Xun, who was supposed to head to the Qingyou transition area to station, sought out Qin Yi.

"Sister Qin Yi."

"Xun'er?"

"Sister Qin Yi, Xun'er doesn't like Qingyou's climate. Can sister help Xun'er change the station to a place with more humid air?"

Guu Xun, clad in a palace gown, smiled radiantly, seemingly seeking Qin Yi just for this trivial matter.

Qin Yi also thought it was a small matter and agreed after briefly considering.

Switching a station, especially at this early stage before the Descent outbreak, supposedly guarding in Nirvana is just a formality; the primary task is networking for future real outbreak preparation.

It's just a pity for Senior Brother Li. Previously upon hearing that Guu Xun's station was at the Qingyou transition area, he volunteered to station at Youzhou.

Thinking of this Senior Brother, who became elusive after meeting Guu Xun, Qin Yi also sighed slightly in her heart.

Then she showed a smile:

"Of course it's okay, but where does Xun'er plan to go?"

"Jiangzhou!"

...

Guu Xun'er hates Chen Zhixing!

She is eager to kill him immediately!

The reason she agreed to leave the mountains with Qin Yi during her visit to the Ancient Race is to personally exact vengeance!

But her cultivation is insufficient.

No matter how diligently she has practiced, over the years, she only managed to break through to Nirvana Realm at the start of this year by a stroke of luck.

Compared to her arch-enemy Chen Zhixing, she's still worlds apart.

Yet to seek revenge, to kill a man, it's not just about having high cultivation.

She's a woman, beautiful, with a good family background.

She possesses the natural advantages of a woman, and Guu Xun has more advantages than ordinary women.

Jiangzhou, Linjiang City.

When Guu Xun entered this ancient city, thriving for three millennia at its pinnacle, she was momentarily captivated by its prosperous scene.

Moonlit winds and flowers.

Drum towers and long streets.

Flowing water beneath small bridges, a talented man's high singing from the brothel.

Scenes of beauty and song truly made one's heart linger.

Of course.

After a brief gaze from afar, Guu Xun soon recovered.

Retracting her gaze from the window, she softly instructed outside:

"Granny Rong, let's first rest at the alliance's station, and tomorrow send a visiting card to Ziwei Mountain. Speaking of which, we are old friends with that Chen Family Banished Immortal, yet it's a pity we've not met in years."

"The old woman knows."

Granny Rong agreed, driving the carriage outside the curtain.

If one didn't speak, who could know this elderly-looking, seemingly ordinary old lady was actually a Nirvana Peak expert?

Also near life's end.

Prepared to die at any moment.
