While the two men in front were engaged in a heated conversation, the group behind them was chatting even more fervently.
"Brother Huang, I heard you have a few disciples who are quite interested in formations?" A man from the Formation Realm said to the man from the Desolate Realm. "After we return, send them over, and I'll personally guide them for a few years!"
"My understanding of formations may not be the most advanced in the Formation Realm, but when it comes to teaching disciples, I'm second to none."
"Ah, Brother Zhang, you're too kind," the man from the Desolate Realm replied. "In that case, why don't you send your disciples to me as well? I'll pass on all my secret techniques to them without holding anything back!"
As these two were talking, another pair nearby also started a conversation.
"Your son is in the prime of his youth, and my daughter is at the peak of her beauty. A perfect match, don't you think? So, it's settled—we're family now, haha!" one of them said.
"Haha, indeed!" the other replied. "Why wait? Let's pick a date as soon as we get back and hold the wedding!"
With that, they shook hands warmly, reluctantly parting ways after a long exchange.
Their conversation left Huang Zhen and Chen Xian, who were not far away, utterly stunned.
The two exchanged bewildered looks, their eyes wide with confusion.Wasn't it said that the Formation Realm and the Desolate Realm were like fire and water, always at odds?
What was going on here?
Their faces filled with question marks, they exchanged a glance and made a decision.
Suppressing their auras and cultivation levels to match the others, they split up and approached the two groups.
"Gentlemen, isn't it said that the Formation Realm and the Desolate Realm are like fire and water, always in conflict? What's happening here?" Chen Xian asked directly, addressing the group from the Formation Realm.
However, they didn't recognize Chen Xian.
After all, Chen Xian had made his mark in the Formation Realm tens of thousands of years ago, and these men were probably still in diapers back then.
So, when they heard Chen Xian's words, they looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Who the hell told you that the Formation Realm and the Desolate Realm are on bad terms? What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"
"The Formation Realm and the Desolate Realm are brotherly realms!"
"You'd better shut your mouth right now. If we hear you badmouthing the relationship between the Formation Realm and the Desolate Realm again, we'll banish you from the Formation Realm!"
With fierce glares, they stormed off.
Chen Xian wasn't angered by their reaction. Instead, he stood there, utterly dumbfounded.
Brotherly realms?
On the other side, Huang Zhen received a similar response.
A cold breeze blew, and the two powerhouses stood in the wind, completely baffled.
"Did we get something wrong?" Chen Xian muttered, still in a daze.
Huang Zhen nodded woodenly, then shook his head. He wanted to say something, but no words came out.
What they had just witnessed felt completely unreal.
"Let's head back and figure out what's going on," Chen Xian suggested after snapping out of his stupor. "We'll meet here again tomorrow at the same time."
Huang Zhen nodded.
The only way to get to the bottom of this was to return to their respective realms.
With that, the two parted ways, heading back to the Formation Realm and the Desolate Realm.
Meanwhile, Zhen Yan, holding a star compass, was searching across various dimensions for traces of Lu Benwei.
But after several days, he had found nothing.
"What's going on? Even the Heaven-Spanning Star Compass, crafted by Elder Zhen and a dozen other elders, can't track down this Lu Benwei."
"Could he have reached the 40th level of True Immortal and begun to transcend this world?"
Zhen Yan's expression was grim.
But he didn't dare waste time, so he continued his aimless search, periodically taking out the star compass to calculate.
Still, he found nothing.
Unbeknownst to him, Lu Benwei, accompanied by his dog and others, was completely lost in the sound of people calling him "handsome" in clear voices.
A day later, Chen Xian and Huang Zhen reunited in the city.
After comparing their findings, they finally understood what had happened.
They never expected that the Formation Realm and the Desolate Realm would reconcile in such a manner.
However, they didn't expose the truth. On the contrary, they were pleased with the outcome.
The long-standing conflict between the two realms had been resolved without their intervention. What more could they ask for?
"This person's methods are truly remarkable!" Chen Xian said with admiration. "He resolved the conflict between the two realms effortlessly. Such strategy and planning are truly humbling!"
"Absolutely," Huang Zhen agreed. "At the very least, we would never have come up with such a perfect solution, no matter how hard we racked our brains!"
"If we report this to Elder Zhen, he'll be over the moon!" Chen Xian said with a smile.
"Over the moon? That's an understatement! Aside from the reconciliation between the Formation Realm and the Desolate Realm, the biggest gain is that we've discovered another supreme expert!"
Huang Zhen's face lit up with joy. "Those youngsters think he's at the 20th level of True Immortal, but you and I know better, don't we?"
"Indeed!" Chen Xian nodded solemnly. "From the descriptions of his strength and abilities, his power far surpasses that of a 20th-level True Immortal."
"At the very least..."
Here, Chen Xian paused, took a deep breath, and then said word by word, "At the very least, he's at the 25th level of True Immortal!"
