Ye Xi's eyes flickered, and he gratefully said, "Thank you, Master Sister!"
Han Xingmian shook her head and sat down on a chair on the side. She slowly said, "However, the cultivators in Jiuzhou are too weak now. This cannot go on!"
She paused and continued, "The major immortal mansions want to cleanse the power of Jiuzhou, not just for resources."
"But to use thunderous means, to impart Divine Abilities and help the cultivators of Jiuzhou become stronger quickly, in order to resist the Immortal Court!"
Han Xingmian looked deeply at Ye Xi and said, "You should also understand that the Immortal Court is returning, but because it is too vast, it will take longer."
"The Three Realms will be unified, and the Immortal Court will not miss this opportunity to rule over the Three Realms."
Ye Xi's face looked grim, and he was well aware of this.
Not to mention...
Lin Feng had long been on the Immortal Court's wanted list, and he and Yuan Ruoyu, Ye Qingge, and others were probably also targeted.
Once the Immortal Court returns, the first people they will target are those related to Lin Feng, completely eradicating them and their influence.
At this point, Han Xingmian continued, "Moreover, from what I know, the ambitions of the Immortal Court are not limited to Jiuzhou. They have already started targeting some immortal mansions."
"That's why the major immortal mansions are returning together."
Ye Xi's heart stirred, and he asked, "The major immortal mansions also don't want to be brought under the Immortal Court's control. Jiuzhou and the immortal mansions can cooperate!"
Originally, the return of the major immortal mansions brought about the revival of the Great Dao.
Coupled with the Immortal Court imparting more perfected techniques and arts, it was indeed a great thing for the cultivators of Jiuzhou.
If both sides could strengthen their cooperation and resist the Immortal Court together, they would have a better chance of success.
Han Xingmian still shook her head with a smile and said, "Cooperation is only possible when the strengths of both sides are similar!"
"Now Jiuzhou is weak and the immortal mansions are strong, so Jiuzhou can only become a vassal."
"Unless..."
She narrowed her eyes and whispered, "The cultivators of Jiuzhou can quickly strengthen their power to the point where the major immortal mansions also fear them."
Ye Xi nodded, understanding this reasoning very well.
But currently, it was difficult for the overall strength of the cultivators of Jiuzhou to make a qualitative leap.
However, no matter what, they couldn't give up easily.
A glimmer of hope ignited in Ye Xi's eyes as he thought to himself, "As long as I can hold on until Master returns, there is still hope."
Lin Feng was Jiuzhou's last hope.
Han Xingmian keenly sensed his change and smiled charmingly, asking, "What exactly did your Master go to do?"
"Master, I've told you everything I know. You won't keep anything from me, will you?"
Ye Xi smiled bitterly and explained again, "I really don't know the specifics."
"You also know that Master is always mysterious."
"He only told me that he was going to do something grand and as long as he could accomplish it, Jiuzhou would be safe."
Han Xingmian snorted coldly and turned her head.
She also understood Lin Huang... no, it should be Lin Feng's character. No matter what he did, he wouldn't easily let others know.
Even the closest people to him.
And now, she could believe that Ye Xi really didn't know. This kid called her Master Sister so sweetly.
Han Xingmian also didn't want to turn him into an ice sculpture again...
In the main hall.
After a moment of silence, Ye Xi suddenly asked with a serious expression, "Master Sister, there is something I don't understand. Do you know the answer?"
"Speak!"
"Is the return of the immortal mansions really just to join forces with Jiuzhou to resist the Immortal Court? Are there any other reasons behind it?"
Ye Xi continued, giving an example, "The Immortal Court set traps and harvested the Transcending Tribulation cultivators in Jiuzhou. This is well known."
"When the immortal mansions return, they also generously impart techniques. Could there be some hidden secrets behind this?"
This has always been his doubt.
According to reason, since the major immortal mansions fundamentally look down on Jiuzhou, why would they waste so much time and effort imparting techniques and cultivating the growth of Jiuzhou cultivators?
They could just form an alliance with the Immortal Court and stand against them, right?
Following Lin Feng, Ye Xi had encountered various conspiracies and tricks.
This made him extremely cautious and more aware that anything cannot be judged solely by its appearance.
Digging deeper into the secrets is the key.
What's more important is that Lin Feng also warned him not to trust the major immortal mansions, as there are bad people in them too.
It's possible that Jiuzhou just solved the trap of the Immortal Court and fell into another trap...
With these words spoken.
Han Xingmian fell silent, her eyebrows furrowed. After a long while, she said, "I also find this a bit strange."
"Although the major immortal mansions usually have interactions, it is difficult for them to reach a consensus on the same matter."
Han Xingmian continued, "But this time, the major immortal mansions returning to Jiuzhou seemed like a well-planned scheme, everything fell into place."
"The process went smoothly in a somewhat eerie way."
You should know that there are hundreds of immortal mansion ruins, big and small.
Of course, most of them are only the size of a city.
And there are only six of them that are extremely large in scale and powerful, like the Ziyuan Immortal Mansion and the Qiongying Immortal Mansion.
They are called the Six Great Super Immortal Mansions within the immortal mansions.
Han Xingmian thought for a moment and explained to Ye Xi, "You don't know much about the major immortal mansions."
"There are many secrets that are difficult to explain to you. In any case, I am also investigating your doubts. Just wait for the news!"
Ye Xi nodded. With the help of the Jibing Immortal Palace, it was indeed much more convenient.
He couldn't intervene in this aspect.
But now he was certain that there must be a problem with the return of the immortal mansions.
Suddenly!
Ye Xi thought of something and asked with a serious expression, "What if the techniques taught by the major immortal mansions have traps?"
Just thinking about this possibility made his heart sink.
The incident of the Immortal Court cutting leeks had been exposed, and now many cultivators in Jiuzhou saw entering the immortal mansions as their hope of becoming immortals.
They also had great trust in the techniques taught by the major immortal mansions.
If in the end, someone really took the opportunity to teach techniques with traps.
Then there would be many victims.
After careful consideration, Ye Xi felt his scalp go numb. In this situation, the immortal mansions were using the guise of spreading the Dao to teach techniques on a large scale. How many cultivators could resist the temptation?
Not to mention others, even the Yuchi Holy Land and the Liyue Immortal Dynasty would not be able to resist this temptation.
Han Xingmian pondered for a moment, her expression also becoming serious. She slowly said, "It is not impossible!"
"But if they do this, what is their ultimate goal?"
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in her eyes as she thought of something. She said in a deep voice:
"To cultivate more Transcending Tribulation cultivators, to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation of the immortal mansions, and become immortals of the immortal mansions."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xi felt completely confused and asked, "But isn't it a bad thing to cultivate more immortals of the immortal mansions?"
Han Xingmian's face turned ugly as she shook her head. "You don't know..."
"For countless years, there have been many cultivators who Transcended Tribulation in the major immortal mansions, but in the end, all those immortals of the immortal mansions disappeared."
Ye Xi's heart trembled, feeling his scalp go numb.
Han Xingmian's eyes flickered as she sighed and said, "Alright, you can go back for now. If there is any discovery, I will send someone to notify you."
"Don't act rashly!"
Ye Xi bowed and left, walking out of the hall door, only to find a girl in palace attire waiting for him.
Ye Xi greeted her, "Miss, sorry for the wait."
Su Sha glanced at him, her gaze clearly showing some surprise, and blurted out:
"I thought... you would have turned into an ice sculpture and been sent out."
Ye Xi: "..."
Who does she think she's looking down upon?
Then, Su Sha escorted him out of the Qiongying Immortal Mansion and all the way back to Zhongzhou.
Coincidentally, the light curtain on the Transmission Array of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion lit up. Unknowingly, it was time for the diary to be published again.
In the Jibing Immortal Palace, a projection array also lit up.
Han Xingmian watched in a daze, murmuring, "What kind of person will I be in your diary?"
