Chapter 889: The Secret Of Immortal Dao (2)
Li Xiaofei began asking a few more questions, but Prefect Kou Zhengyang’s responses left him rather disappointed. They knew nothing about what lay beyond the skies. They had absolutely no knowledge of the dense network of surveillance satellites orbiting the continent.
As for the Outer World, not only the Song Dynasty but every nation and power on this continent was completely in the dark.
“To this day, no one has ever reached the world beyond. There are rumors that people in ancient times once ascended. But no one knows where they ascended to. Even those from the immortal sects are clueless.”
The three of them spoke one after another, voicing what they knew. At the same time, each of them couldn’t help but feel a rising curiosity.
This Immortal Li doesn’t even seem to know these basic facts, could he really be a reclusive rogue cultivator, hidden from the world for years? Could it be that he has mastered some secret method of ascension, which is why he’s so interested in the Outer World?
Li Xiaofei, upon hearing all this, began forming a few theories in his mind. But he would need to ask within the immortal sects themselves to confirm them. Only there could he hope to uncover the truth.
“As for the tribute issue,” Li Xiaofei said at last, “you don’t need to worry about it. I’ll handle it myself. Do any of you know where the Myriad Saints Immortal Sect’s mountain gate is located?”
“This...” The three men exchanged glances and offered bitter smiles.
Kou Zhengyang replied, “The immortals and their envoys come and go by flying through the skies, traveling thousands of li in a single breath. People like us have no way of knowing their paths. All we can say is that the Immortal Sect’s mountain gate must lie in a place of great fortune and spiritual abundance. But where exactly that is, we mortals cannot even guess.”
With a wave of his hand, Li Xiaofei grabbed the young Daoist Xue Qing, who had been lying motionless in the courtyard, feigning death. He was pulled into the air, suspended helplessly before them.
“You’re not seriously going to tell me you don’t know, are you?” Li Xiaofei asked with a calm, almost casual tone.
Xue Qing’s eyes burned with hatred, but he remained silent.
