“You’re… you’re going to get taken away?” the snake asked Senior Yang, unsure how to process this information.

“I probably will,” Senior Yang said. “I have only so long before they realize that I am here. I will be taken away now, and given that I lost most of their treasures, I have my doubts whether I will survive henceforth or not.”

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm “Senior!” the snake spoke, hearing the pessimistic tone in the man’s voice. 

“No need to worry I suppose,” senior Yang said. “It was always coming. I was only wrong to hope that I would get to ride someone’s Immortality out of here. I suppose I’m going back the normal way.”

The snake worried. He wanted to use the talisman, which was meant to call for his clan to take him away in case of life and death urgency, to send the senior away and hide him. 

However, it was the Tortoise that had held onto it. So he couldn’t do anything.

The phoenix had yet to unlock her Soul Space so she couldn’t provide him with her talisman either.

The Dragon— well, the Azure Dragon was dead. He couldn’t help them at all. His soul space would take decades to decay before the things inside of it could be brought out. He could tear it out with his Immortal Qi if he was there, but that was dangerous for the current him.

As for the White Tiger, his talisman had already been used by his wives the first time he sent them away. As for going back again, he mentioned that he no longer required a talisman. 

Something about his master giving him a better artifact.

The snake felt frustrated. He had heard the tales of wars and heard of the millions that had died in the past. Not just fighters that fought in the wars, but the casualties that involved innocents. 

It was a horrible tale that he wished no one else would have to suffer from.

“Can’t you do something?” he asked. “Maybe try to fight them?”

“I can,” the man said. “But I’ve remained here for so long that I don’t have enough Qi to fight with someone who has just come from the heavens. Besides, I will die even if I simply tried to—”

Senior Yang’s eyes are unfocused instantly and stopped speaking. The snake quickly looked in the direction where the feeling had been coming from and stared.

“What’s… going on?” the snake asked. “I cannot feel anything.”

“They set up a veil,” the senior said. “That’s… why would they set up a veil?”

Senior Yang could not imagine why someone such as the people that had come down would set up a veil. Just the fact that they had set up a formation to create the veil was confusing enough given that it would anger the heavens.

But on top of that, setting up a veil wasn’t necessary at all. He already knew he was there. What other necessity would there be for them to…

“Are they… hiding from the other realms?” he thought. “Are they trying to hide themselves from the demon realms?” 

“Why would they try to do that?” the snake asked. “The humans own these realms. They don’t have to hide from the demons. The only ones they would have to hide from are us, and we already know.”

The snake realized something and became a little scared. “Are they going to kill us?” he asked.

“They won’t,” Senior Yang said. “Even if they do, they can’t hope to do it quietly. You probably don’t have to worry either, given that the Tortoise is the main body.”

The snake nodded. “But it still takes a while to get my body back if I die, or so I’ve been told,” he said. “And I will only remember what my brother remembers.”

The senior nodded. “I suppose we can only wait and try to figure out what exactly is going on.”

Godslayer sensed everything that happened before the veil was put into place. “That is definitely someone descending alright. Someone has come here from the outer realms, and the only ones that have the power to do so are the strong ones.”

“The weaker ones can’t come?” Alex asked.

“More like they don’t have the resources to break through the heavenly barrier that keeps away people of stronger realms,” Godslayer said. “The only way to not have to deal with the heavenly barrier is to actually travel through the space, but that is not so easy of a task either.”

“What about the Void?” Alex asked.

“If there is a natural Voidgate, sure. But I don’t know how someone would manage to create an artificial one at all,” he said. “That sort of stuff is practically impossible.”

“Is it really impossible?” Alex asked.

“Well, not Impossible, but highly probable because of the requirements,” Godslayers said. “Whatever, these people didn’t come from the validate. They came through teleportation formation. The only question is why they are here and why they are hiding?”

Alex wondered for a moment if they had come here to find Senior Yang, but quickly let go of the theory as it didn’t seem right. He had a gut feeling that it was not correct. 

Still, just in case, he was worried for the senior. There was quite a lot he wanted to learn from him still as his knowledge had increased so much after coming to the Eastern Continent.

There were so many more questions he wanted to ask about.

The elders around Alex were looking around in confusion as well. They could somewhat sense what was happening, but they couldn’t tell anything at all.

All they could tell was that it wasn’t someone fighting, breaking through, or learning a new dao.

“Could this be a Birth Omen of some sort, your Majesty?” Elder Yao asked.

“No, this is no Birth Omen. We would be lucky if this were something as simple as a Birth Omen,” Alex said. 

“Immortals from the Immortal realm have arrived in this world, so brazenly at that. We will now have to see what the future holds for us.”
