Since the advent of the Human Clan, the reason the lineage that carries on to this day is called the Changqing Immortal Clan lies in the ’primordial fortune’ contained within their bloodline.

From the time of mankind’s insignificance to the present, only those who survive are fit to be called kings. Only those are worthy of possessing more primordial fortune.

This fortune has allowed the Changqing Immortal Clan to grow stronger over time, gradually evolving this fortune into a unique inheritance rooted within the bloodline, known as source blood.

A unique inheritance comparable to the Immortal Body.

Therefore, since the Human Clan gave rise to Immortals, they thrived and later became known as the Changqing Immortal Clan.

Up to now, the Changqing Immortal Clan has a total of eighteen branches, but most of them had their source blood seized and devoured by the Upper Realm. The remaining five branches have completely broken away from the Upper Realm, living in their respective small worlds, aloof from the mortal world, or as some might say, hiding and not daring to venture out easily.

And the reason for not stepping into the world is partly due to the Upper Realm’s covetous gaze and partly due to Zheng Dongliu’s initial ’Draw a Prison’ strategy.

Because in retaliation against the Upper Realm, which stole much of their source blood, the remaining Changqing Immortal Clan intended to assert dominance in the Lower Realm, but were individually checked by Zheng Dongliu, forming today’s scenario where the Changqing Immortal Clan cannot, and dare not easily step out.

The Resplendent Ancient ’Lu’, the Ancient Immortal ’Qin’, the Vast Northern ’Gu’, the Verdant Blooming ’Hua’, and the Skyward ’Cheng’, are the only remaining Changqing Immortal Clan.

Of course, if one includes the clans such as the Li Family and Zhao Clan from the Upper Realm’s Tongtian Immortal Dynasty, who also seized source blood, then there are still eighteen branches.

However, the seized source blood is ultimately not the most compatible, hence the Upper Realm, especially Li Chengshi, still covets the source blood, aiming to triumph in quantity over quality for further advancement.

And now, because Lu Jin’an became Sect Master of Wan Dao Sect and his identity was exposed, the other Changqing Immortal Clans have turned their attention to the Lu Family.

At this time, the Lu Family head invited the leaders of the other Immortal Clans to visit one by one.

To the remaining Changqing Immortal Clans, it’s clear that the Lu Family is attempting to reestablish its leadership within the Changqing Immortal Clan, a proposal that naturally cannot be agreed upon lightly.

Previously, the invitation from the Lu Family wouldn’t have even been acknowledged, but the Lu Family’s continuous implementation of the cuckoo plan unexpectedly brought the World’s No.1 Immortal Sect Wan Dao Sect under their wing, which demands attention.

Though it’s unclear at the moment what stance the Immortals within Wan Dao Sect hold, the Lu Family’s stance can be discerned now.

Therefore, the leaders of the other four Immortal Clans arrived according to the invitation timings given by the Lu Family head.

As the Holy Emperor of Tongtian Immortal Dynasty, although Li Chengshi did not receive an invitation from the Lu Family head, he received one from the head of Xuanri Mountain.

So naturally, he came personally, following the route given by that head to the small world outside the Lu Family.

Li Chengshi did not come alone, but didn’t bring too many Hidden Immortal Monarchs either, because before coming, he wrote to the other Immortal Clans.

Although there’s irreconcilable hatred between the Upper Realm and the Immortal Clans, since Lu Jin’an became Sect Master of Wan Dao Sect, cooperation in certain aspects against the Lu Family is still possible.

After all, since Lu Jin’an became the trusted Sect Master of Wan Dao Sect, certain interests have aligned.

Therefore, upon learning that the other four Changqing Immortal Clans were also invited to the Lu Family, Li Chengshi boldly arrived here.

The Lu Family, specifically Lu Jin’an, must be taken seriously, as for Lu Zhengyun and other Divine Concealment members, though their strength is considered top-tier among Divine Concealment, they still fall short compared to the most elite.

Therefore, Li Chengshi, bringing ten Immortal Monarchs from Divine Concealment Peak, was completely confident in retreating unscathed.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the head of Xuanri Mountain has already covertly taken control of the Lu Family."

Beside him, Li Chengshi’s sibling, Li Chengjun, mused, "Otherwise, how could he dare to reside in the Lu Family openly?"

Li Chengshi indeed harbored this speculation but was puzzled about when Xuanri Mountain made a move against the Lu Family with no rumors surfacing.

Also... What role does Lu Jin’an play in all of this?

Has he already been possessed?

Li Chengshi held many doubts within himself, but once inside the Lu Family, the truth would be revealed.

With this in mind, Li Chengshi stepped forward towards a gigantic bronze arch.

Between the copper pillars, space rippled while Li Chengjun scoffed, "Not even a guide, the Lu Family truly disregards everyone."

Li Chengshi remained silent, entering the rippling arch first.

With the surrounding space undulating, the landscape transitioned to another world.

Only...

A strong scent of blood immediately assaulted them, causing Li Chengshi to frown, and the ten accompanying Hidden Immortal Monarchs quickly surrounded him protectively.

The sky was a blood-red hue, with crimson mist lingering in the air, reminiscent of a mortal purgatory!

"Your Majesty..."

Li Chengjun was already contemplating retreat when a sound pierced the air, followed shortly by a streak of Flowing Light approaching swiftly.

Li Chengjun’s expression changed, about to act, but Li Chengshi stepped ahead, directly reaching out to intercept the Flowing Light.

As the glow of spiritual power dissipated, a head with wide open eyes appeared before them.

Li Chengjun’s expression shifted: "Cheng Jingxuan?!"

Skyward ’Cheng,’ the contemporary Family Head of the Cheng Clan... dead?!
