    The sky was grand and vast.


    White clouds rumbled, moving below one’s feet.


    A huge lion growled lowly as its four limbs stepped on the air, flying towards the cloudyer.


    This lion’s body was like snow, it waspletely white.


    Its thick mane swayed in the wind, strong air currents were created below its feet.


    On the lion’s back, there was a huge chair, two Gu Immortals, one male and one female, were sitting


    together.


    The female was old and looked like she was in her sixties, but her eyes were shining brightly, she was


    excited and could not sit still, looking around.


    And the male had the appearance of a young man, he had a sharp nose and long thin eyes, his body


    was emitting a cool and experienced aura.


    “Great-uncle, your steed is really amazing, it can travel on the clouds, in just half a day, we have


    already flown tens of thousands of li.” The female Gu Immortal praised.


    “This is a deste beast qi grand lion, it is not flying on the clouds, but it has the ability to control air


    currents, thus it can fly.” The young looking man exined patiently.


    “A lion that can control air currents and fly in the air, I have never seen such a thing. Deste beast…


    what does that mean?” The female Gu Immortal asked.


    The young-looking male Gu Immortal smiled silently: “Qi He, you just ascended to be a Gu


    Immortal, it is normal that you do not know aboutmon knowledge of the Gu Immortal world. This qi


    grand lion has qi path dao marks on its body, once it matures, it can soar through the skies. But this


    type of lion is very rare now, it is almost extinct in the five regions, it can only be seen in white heaven


    and ck heaven now.”


    “As for deste beasts, they are a certain rank of beasts. Like how Gu Masters have rank one, rank


    two and rank three, other than deste beasts, there are ancient deste beasts and immemorial


    deste beasts. Deste beasts are equivalent to rank six Gu Immortals, because one deste beast


    can fight evenly against a rank six Gu Immortal. And ancient deste beasts are equivalent to rank


    seven Gu Immortals, while immemorial deste beasts are equivalent to rank eight Gu Immortals.”


    The female Gu Immortal, Qi He, heard this and her eyes shined, she assessed the qi grand lion again,


    thinking: “No wonder I felt such danger from this lion. Thanks to great-uncle, I survived the tribtion


    from ascension and became a Gu Immortal. If I had to fight this lion, I might get torn to shreds.”


    The young-looking Gu Immortal, Qi Zai, was hundreds of years old, he had rank seven cultivation level,


    he only looked so young because of lifespan Gu.


    He was old and experienced, seeing Qi He’s face, he could guess what she was thinking.


    Stretching out his arm to pat this junior’s shoulder, Qi Zai consoled: “Little He, don’t worry, most people


    are like this after bing immortal. When the matter I have to deal with is settled, we can return to Qi


    Sea grotto-heaven, your seniors are there, if the seniors know that our Qi n has another Gu


    Immortal, they will be very happy. You will live in the grotto-heaven for some time and learn from your


    elders. Remember to observe carefully and ask questions.”


    “Thank you for your advice, great-uncle.” Qi He had a serious expression, standing up and bowing to


    Qi Zai solemnly.


    “Mm… let’s sit down and talk.” Qi Zai nodded, showing a proud expression on his face.


    Qi He sat down, showing a confused expression, she hesitated for a while before saying: “Our Qi n


    has a lot of Gu Immortal elders, why are we not imitating Southern Border super forces like Wu n


    and Shang n?”


    Qi Zai smiled as he said: “You want to ask, why is it that we elders who have be Gu Immortals are


    not acting like Wu n and Shang n, looking after our descendants. Instead, we allow our juniors to


    get bullied and suppressed, is that right?”


    “I wouldn’t dare to.” Qi He said anxiously.


    “In the past, when I had just be an immortal, I had the same question as you.” Qi Zai sighed, he


    showed a look of reminiscence: “The reason is quiteplex, it will take some time to exin.”


    “The underlying cause of this rtes to our Qi n’s ancestor, he was one of the Heaven Surveying


    Five Xiangs thousands of years ago.”


    “Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs?” Qi He asked.


    “The Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs were five publicly recognized Gu Immortal experts in Southern


    Border during that time. The five of them had rank eight cultivation level, at the peak of the Gu Immortal


    world. They often coborated and explored white heaven and ck heaven together, they had a close


    rtionship, thus they were known as the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs. Our Qi n ancestor was


    one of the Five Xiangs, Qi Xiang. And our Qi n cultivates qi path primarily.”


    “Rank eight Gu Immortals!” Qi He was lost for words.


    Qi Zai sighed: “In the absence of rank nine, rank eights dominate! Every rank eight Gu Immortal is a


    legend, their actions have huge impact. And back then, the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs were


    extremely famous, even in the other four regions. And because these five people had simr interests


    and a close rtionship, they often fought enemies together. In most situations, rank eight Gu


    Immortals work alone. Thus, in white heaven and ck heaven, other rank eight Gu Immortals would


    avoid the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs if they encountered them.”


    “During that time, Southern Border’s Gu Immortal world had the edge over the other four regions


    because of the Five Xiangs, they had incredible fame. But dozens of yearster, the Heaven Surveying


    Five Xiangs disbanded.


    As he said that, Qi Zai’s tone became deeper.


    “Why?” Qi He asked.

    Qi Zai sighed, continuing: “I am not sure about the exact details. Supposedly, back then the Heaven


    Surveying Five Xiangs found a huge secret while exploring white heaven. This secret represented an


    unimaginable achievement, but only one person could obtain it. All of the five Xiangs wanted to get it,


    but they did not relent. Because their strength was simr, and because of their rtionship, they


    created a bet.”


    “Bet?”


    “That’s right, this bet had a thousand year duration. The rules of the bet were: The five Xiang could only


    watch as their descendants developed on their own. A thousand yearster, whichever n had the


    most Gu Immortals would be the winner.”


    Qi He considered the time, a thousand years had already passed, she quickly asked: “Then who won?”


    Qi Zai smiled bitterly: “A thousand yearster, two ns had the same number of Gu Immortals, the


    victor could not be decided. The other three ns were unwilling to give up, thus, with two ns


    against three, another round of betting was decided upon. Thus, a thousand years, two thousand


    years, three thousand years… until now, the five ancestors already died long ago, but the bet is still


    ongoing.”


    “So that’s it!” Qi He heard this old secret and was tongue-tied.


    After a while, she epted this fact and sighed: “That means without this agreement, Southern Border


    would have five more super forces?”


    But Qi Zai shook his head: “Among the five Xiangs, there were lone immortals and demonic path


    members, developing ns is something only righteous path members generally have the patience to


    do.”


    “Our Qi n had Qi Xiang, who are the other four Xiangs?” Qi He asked again.


    Qi Zai responded: “Qi Xiang, Ni Xiang, Bai Xiang, Xue Xiang, Chi Xiang, they were known as the


    Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs. The following ce I am going is where the current generation Ni


    Xiang is.”


    “Why does great-uncle want to go to Ni Xiang?”


    Qi Zai hesitated for a moment before smiling: “Alright, it is not an issue to tell you. Recently, a huge


    matter happened in Southern Border’s Gu Immortal world,rge numbers of Gu Immortals died around


    Yi Tian Mountain. One of our elders from Qi n died there. Thus, we are here to find the current


    generation Ni Xiang, so that they can help us deduce the truth.”


    “Ah! Yi Tian Mountain…” Qi He cried out.


    Regardless of what had urred in Fang Yuan’s previous life, this time around, the battle of Yi Tian


    Mountain involved both mortals and immortals. Thus, Qi He had heard about it long ago.


    But she only knew that Southern Border’s forces sent their mortal experts to attack Yi Tian Mountain


    and exterminate the demonic path in order to defend the righteous path. In Southern Border, there had


    been no demonic path power that was so brazen to create a force. Thus, the righteous path was trying


    to take them down.


    Qi Zai thus told Qi He the gambling contest of Yi Tian Mountain.


    Qi He finally realized that the truth was like this.


    She muttered: “The difference between immortal and mortal is as far apart as clouds and mud. Those


    rank four and five experts are just pawns of the immortals.”


    This truth had great impact towards Qi He, who had just be a Gu Immortal.


    Qi Zai heard this and smiled internally.


    When Gu Masters be immortals, not only would their strength and cultivation change, their


    mentality also had to change.


    At this moment, Qi Zai could use the matter of Yi Tian Mountain to stimte Qi He’s growth, so that


    she could adapt to her new identity.


    Soon, there was silence.


    Only the qi grand lion was still running in the air, Qi Zai and Qi He had turned silent.


    Clouds moved around them, the world seemed vast.


    Because there were Gu formations on the chairs, they did not feel any wind or noise.


    Could any mortal see such a sight?


    Qi He saw this and felt how huge the world was, mortals were like insects, herplex feelings faded


    gradually, she thought: “That’s right, I am a Gu Immortal, I am not a mortal anymore. Mortals and


    immortals are different, I need to remember this.”


    After telling herself that, Qi He’s mood returned to normal, even her mind had undergone a change.


    Qi Zai nodded internally at this, saying: “Actually, during thesest few thousand years, among the


    descendants of the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs, our Qi n is the most prosperous. Xue Xiang’s


    descendants cultivate blood path, they are almost wiped out. Chi Xiang’s descendants are staying


    inside their immortal aperture and live like livestock, they do not have any urge to improve themselves,


    they arezy and only want to eat, they are nothing significant. Bai Xiang’s final traces of bloodline


    have all died recently. As for Ni Xiang, even though they have several branches in Southern Border,


    there are no longer any Ni n Gu Immortals.”


    Qi He understood why, she nodded: “Bing an immortal is really difficult, if not for great-uncle’s


    help, I would have died in the cmity and tribtion already.”


    Qi Zai smiled, shaking his head as he said to Qi He with deep meaning: “Actually, Ni n had the most


    hope in producing Gu Immortals. But because of that, the other ns obstructed them, resulting in their


    pitiful state now.”


    “Three thousand years after the bet was created, Ni n had a greatly talented refinement path Gu


    Immortal, Ni Ren, he was the final Gu Immortal in Ni n’s history. Before dying, he nned for his


    n’s future. He broke the rules of the agreement, helping Ni n and selecting Immortal Gu to refine


    into his future descendants’ bloodline.”
