Chapter 1033 - Fight!

The appearance of the Featherlight Immortal Envoy abruptly quelled the brewing conflict at the Phoenix Stage.

Through the murmurs of the older generation, many of the younger ones, unaware of his identity, learned of his identity and were so shocked that they could barely compose themselves.

Though legends spoke of ascension to immortality, most believed immortals were mere myths, not real beings.

Void Immortals, the strongest existences on the Tianwu Continent, were revered as Supreme Beings.

The very concept of the Void Immortal realm stemmed from humanity’s longing for immortality.

But now, a true immortal stood before them—an earth-shattering revelation

Only now did they know for sure that immortals existed. More than that, their home, the Tianwu Continent, was only a speck of dust in this universe.

The Featherlight Immortal Envoy swept his gaze around; many felt as if he could see through them. Even the Legendary realm apex experts were no exception, unable to suppress their shock.

“Everyone, I’m only here for routine business this time.”

Zhang Daoling and the others’ gazes turned serious.

He waved his hand, and eight ancient tokens immediately flew out toward Chen Fan and the other Peerless Peak disciples’ direction.

The crowd’s gazes trembled.

Even Ji Huang, Beishan Ling, and the others’ expressions changed slightly. They narrowed their eyes, sharp intent flashing within.

The eight Immortal Draft Tokens all went to the Peerless Peak!

Under countless gazes, the eight disciples accepted their tokens and looked up at the Featherlight Immortal Envoy.

“Every millennium, the immortal gate opens, and I hope to enter this time. This opportunity is not one you should pass up.”

With a slight nod toward Chen Fan and the others, the envoy’s figure flickered and vanished from the Phoenix Stage, leaving without sparing a glance at anyone else.

Below, the Warring Nation’s prince, Princess Tianluan, and other top talents of the central continent wore grim expressions.

They were also monstrously talented, no inferior to Beishan Hong, yet the eight Immortal Draft Tokens had gone exclusively to Peerless Peak’s lineage.

Did this mean they weren’t even worthy of the envoy’s notice?

Immortal Draft Token wasn’t necessary to enter the immortal gate’s trial, but the token indicated that the possessor had received the envoy’s attention.

The token also signified that the Featherlight Immortal Envoy believed that they had an eighty to ninety percent chance of opening the immortal gate and entering the Upper Realm. They could become disciples of the Featherlight Sect and ascend to immortality.

Of course, this wasn’t absolute. Throughout history, a few without the token had still ascended during the trial, but such cases were exceedingly rare.

“Junior Brothers and Sisters, while this token has little practical use, it signifies the Featherlight Immortal Envoy’s recognition. He personally came to invite us to the immortal gate’s trial—an opportunity you must not miss.

“Over the past iterations, only twenty-seven people across our entire continent have received this token. Yet today, the envoy granted eight at once, all to our peak. Hoho, it seems like he has recognized that we have a greater chance of opening the immortal gate.”

Huang Wuji’s voice transmission rang in Chen Fan and the other’s ears.

“Those who catch the Featherlight Immortal Envoy’s interest usually perform outstandingly during the immortal gate’s trial, ranking at the top of the Immortal Draft Monument.”

Hearing this, Chen Fan and the others finally understood—the Immortal Draft Token held no real power; it was merely proof that the envoy had taken notice of them.

As a disciple of the Featherlight Sect, the envoy descended to the Lower Realm solely to seek out extraordinary talents and guide them to the Upper Realm.

The Lower Realm was like a land of barbarians compared to the thirty-three heavenly domains, far inferior in both the quality and quantity of geniuses. However, occasionally, a rare prodigy would emerge, their talent rivaling even the elites of the Upper Realm.

Not only that, geniuses who ascended from the Lower Realm to the Upper Realm were like carps leaping over the dragon’s gate, completely unleashing their talents and becoming more outstanding than the geniuses of the Upper Realm. This was precisely why immortal sects established envoys to search the Lower Realm for talent.

The Featherlight Immortal Envoy arrived suddenly and left just as swiftly, as if his sole purpose was to distribute the Immortal Draft Tokens.

Seeing all eight tokens go to Peerless Peak disciples, many peerless prides of heaven below revealed looks of envy.

They didn’t believe they were any inferior to Chen Fan and the others, yet they had failed to catch the envoy’s attention.

Did this mean, in the envoy’s eyes, they were inferior?

A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the successors of many major forces when looking at Chen Fan at the others, showing their restless intentions.

Chen Fan and the others, naturally aware of these stares, found them amusing but didn’t take them seriously.

They were disciples of the Peerless Peak—they should be unrivaled!

Suddenly, Zhang Daoling’s voice rang out, pulling the crowd’s gazes onto himself.

“Gentlemen, do you still wish to fight?”

Ji Huang and Beishan Ling had been about to battle Zhang Daoling, but Featherlight Immortal Envoy’s arrival had dissipated the tense atmosphere.

Now that the Featherlight Immortal Envoy has left, should they still fight?

Ji Huang and Beishan Ling’s gazes flickered, looking somewhat gloomy.

If the Featherlight Immortal Envoy hadn’t come, or if he hadn’t revealed Zhang Daoling’s current level, they wouldn’t have hesitated.

However, now that they knew that he was just one step away from becoming an immortal, calling him the strongest on the entire Tianwu Continent wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Despite also being Void Immortal Supremes, they were smart enough to know that they wouldn’t be a match for him even if they joined forces.

However, if they didn’t fight, would it not be the same as accepting that they were afraid of Zhang Daoling? Wouldn’t they lose face?

On the path of martial arts, one had to forge ahead relentlessly!

Ji Huang and Beishan Ling exchanged glances before a sharp light surfaced in their eyes.

So what if defeat was certain?

At their level, all that mattered was the pursuit of immortality.

If battling Zhang Daoling allowed them to catch even a glimpse of enlightenment, it might push them a step further.

After all, for Void Immortals, even the slightest improvement was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. This fight was an opportunity.

“Hoho, Zhang Daoling, please offer us your guidance!”

Their voices rang out simultaneously as their auras surged like a raging sea, shaking the universe.

The hearts of the crowd below trembled violently.

So, they were still going to fight in the end?

Zhang Daoling nodded, then shot into the sky. His calm voice echoed, “Come up, gentlemen.”

Ji Huang and Beishan Ling immediately shot up into the sky, disappearing from the crowd’s sights.
