"Alright, show me your progress with the Peerless Immortal Technique," Elder Sun said to Yuan.
Yuan nodded and showed off his progress, which had reached the third level.
'To think he'd enter the third level of the technique after just a year of training… As I thought, his talents when it comes to comprehension are monstrous.' Elder Sun thought to herself.
"Okay, now show me your other—"
Elder Sun's words abruptly cut off, her voice trailing into silence.
Her expression suddenly changed, the light curiosity in her eyes vanishing as a serious and worried look took its place.
A sudden, almost palpable tension filled the air.
Elder Sun's brows furrowed, and her gaze sharpened, as if she had sensed something deeply unsettling. It was not just concern—it was the kind of reaction that only came when something was terribly wrong.
Noticing this, Yuan asked her, "What's the matter, Elder Sun?"
"Sorry, but let's end our training here. Something else came up."
Without explaining further, Elder Sun left the scene in a hurry, leaving Yuan to ponder what caused her to make such an expression.
'Don't tell me… Is it because of that…?' he wondered, as he had an idea what made Elder Sun leave.
After leaving the Immortal Sun Peak, Yuan wandered the Inner Court to see if any of the disciples were gossiping, and they did not disappoint.
"Did you hear? All nine Immortal Clans gathered for a meeting for the first time in decades."
"If the Nine Immortal Clan suddenly became active, something big will surely happen soon."
Hearing this information, Yuan realized the Nine Immortal Clans were planning on sealing the Desolate Continent with the Immortal Ensnaring Vault.
This meant that Elder Sun's sudden departure was most likely because the life-saving treasure she had secretly given Tian Yang had been activated, signaling that he was in danger.
'At this rate, the opening of Han Zexian's Tomb will happen in about a year…'
A few days later, Elder Sun returned.
"Sorry for suddenly leaving you like that," she apologized to him.
"There's no need to apologize. That said, I'm curious. Did something happen?" Yuan knew it was unlikely Elder Sun would tell him about the situation, but he still asked.
To his surprise, Elder Sun said with a deep sigh, "I gave Tian Yang a life-saving treasure before he left the sect, and I sensed its activation. I don't know what he's gotten himself into this time, but he's likely in a life-or-death situation."
"That doesn't sound good. Are you going to leave the sect to save him?"
Elder Sun shook her head.
"Unfortunately, I don't know where he is right now. I am only able to sense the activation of the treasure, not where it was activated from…"
Yuan fell silent for a moment before speaking, "Have you heard of a place called the Desolate Continent?"
"The Desolate Continent? Of course, it's a lawless place. Why did you bring it up?" fгeewebnovёl.com
"Well, to be honest, I heard a few of the disciples talking about Tian Yang visiting that place."
"What?! Is that true?!" Elder Sun's eyes widened with disbelief.
