Chapter 882 -881 Zhu Tian: Why are there more and more Immortals?

Vast Sea Daoist Lord was instructing Daoist Xiantian in his cultivation, helping him smoothly break through from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the mid-stage when a spatial gateway opened right in front of Vast Sea Daoist Lord.

And naturally, Daoist Xiantian was right opposite Vast Sea Daoist Lord.

So the moment the gateway opened, it directly transported Daoist Xiantian over.

Vast Sea Daoist Lord, sensing Yun Zhi on the other side of the spatial gate, didn’t feel any danger and thus didn’t interrupt the teleportation.

Daoist Xiantian saw Guan Shanhai bound and was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

Before, they had captured the National Preceptor of Great Yu of their era and had killed the second National Preceptor. Now, was it finally the turn of the first National Preceptor?

If this had happened during the Great Yu Era, even wiping out ten clans would not be punishment enough.

Then, Vast Sea Daoist Lord was about to step out from the spatial gate, but upon hearing the words of the child Grandmaster clinging to Daoist Xiantian’s leg, prepared to retract his foot.

How could the child Grandmaster let Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s wish come true? He pounced like a tiger and held onto the leg that was about to be pulled back, forcibly dragging Vast Sea Daoist Lord out of the spatial gateway.

“Vast Sea Ancestral Master, you’re finally here! Captive Peak cannot do without you—”

Seeing Guan Shanhai, Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s eyelids twitched. Goodness, Semi-Immortal status wasn’t enough for you two siblings’ bluster; this time you’ve directly escalated to an Immortal, eh?

Clearly, Meng Junzi hadn’t told Vast Sea Daoist Lord what he was going to do when borrowing the outline of Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s Dao Fruit.

Vast Sea Daoist Lord forcefully peeled the child Grandmaster’s hands off and spoke amicably, “Little Tang, I think you are the most suitable for Captive Peak. Although it’s rather difficult, this also represents the trust and trial from the Sect to you.”

“I noticed you when you first entered the Sect and felt that your Dao heart was firm. I believed that you would achieve greatness in the future, and indeed, it has turned out just as I expected. You’ve advanced to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage in just two thousand years and have become a renowned powerhouse of the era.”

“The Ancestral Master believes that as long as you undergo the trials of Captive Peak, you will surely rise to the next level, becoming a strong Semi-Immortal just like the Ancestral Master!”

The child Grandmaster rolled his eyes, not buying the nonsense from Vast Sea Daoist Lord.

He had originally come to Captive Peak seeking a quiet life. Who could have guessed that being in charge here would be more tiresome than being a Sect Leader?

“Grand Ancestor, you’ve been stuck as a Semi-Immortal without progress, haven’t you? Why don’t you interact more with the National Preceptor of Great Yu. Perhaps you might gain insights into cultivation and may even become an Immortal.”

The two shared a smile, both seeing a firm refusal in each other’s eyes.

Guan Shanhai was also shocked by Captive Peak. He only knew that the Master of All Laws had been captured by the Seek Dao Sect but hadn’t expected to find Wu Youdao, who had been missing for so long, here.

Also present was his former adversary, the Nightmare Supreme, and the last Semi-Immortal of Great Yu, the Void Venerate.

Some of his previous confusions were now resolved, only the whereabouts of the long-lost second National Preceptor remained unknown.

“Ancestral Master, Grandmaster, you two take your time to talk; I’ll go in and interrogate him first.”

Yun Zhi dragged Guan Shanhai into the innermost room of Captive Peak.

Daoist Xiantian, meanwhile, was pestering Lu Yang, eager to know the details of how the National Preceptor of Great Yu was captured.

“Actually, the capture of the National Preceptor of Great Yu had nothing to do with me at all… ”

…

“What, a Great Yu Semi-Immortal appeared in Yu State, and the old ancestor Jiang Pingan personally came out of seclusion to resolve it?!”

“Three of the Four Imperial Protectors of Heavenly Court appeared in Imperial City, and all of them are wives of the Qilin Immortal?”

“Imperial City saw the outbreak of a battle between two Immortals, with Great Yu’s National Preceptor Guan Shanhai and Meng Family’s elder ancestor Meng Junzi fighting fiercely in the sky!”

“Meng Junzi became an Immortal long ago?!”

“So it’s Meng Family Immortal Clan!”

“Defeated by Meng Junzi, the National Preceptor of Great Yu self-detonated high above Imperial City, life and death uncertain?”

“Emperor Xia revived from death, living a second life!”

“`

One heavy piece of news after another spread throughout the Cultivation World, each one shocking enough to stun cultivators, let alone the cascade of updates. Upon hearing these pieces of news, people are momentarily dazed, feeling as if they were transported to an ancient Great Era where celestial battles were incessant.

Great Xia Cultivators had thought theirs was an era without immortals, but the two Immortals from the East Sea battle clearly didn’t belong to their age.

Who could have imagined that Great Xia itself harbored Immortals, and not just one, but two!

So what if the Demon Nation had ancient Semi-Immortals? They had Immortals on their side!

“Speaking of which, I didn’t realize the Qilin Immortal had three wives. I thought he only had two,” someone said with eyes brimming with envy for the Qilin Immortal’s luck in love affairs, as Ao Ling and her two sisters were all peerless beauties.

Some were unsurprised, as if it was a given: “You just don’t get it. That’s an Immortal, a supreme being. What’s having two or three wives to them? For all we know, the Qilin Immortal might be like the Yingtian Immortal, fond of beautiful women, and have married several wives.”

“If you ask me, who knows which ancient beauty the Qilin Immortal might have had a fling with in secret.”

“Great Yu really can’t compare to our Great Xia. The Great Yu National Preceptor couldn’t even defeat an underling of Old Ancestor Jiang.”

“It’s just a question whether the Great Yu National Preceptor is dead or alive. Attacking the Imperial City and then self-detonating was letting him off easy!”

“How did His Majesty manage to live a second life?”

“Supposedly, he stole something from the Heavenly Court called the Heavenly Root.”

“Are there really such wondrous objects?”

…

In the Demon Territory, Zhu Tian, with a frown and troubled look on his face, received the news from the Imperial City.

“Wait, wasn’t it agreed that a Semi-Immortal would be invincible in the mortal realm? How come Immortals are popping up one after another?”

Thinking this, Zhu Tian put more strength into his hands, planing the surface of the wood even more vigorously.

He would engage in some creative work when he was exceedingly bored.

He gently blew a breath, scattering the wood shavings to reveal the item in his hand: a palm-sized round platform with a notch in it.

Zhu Tian then picked up a wooden carving beside him, the statue depicting him dancing gracefully.

He placed the wooden statue into the notch on the round platform, and soothing music began to emanate from it as the statue twirled on its own.

…

When the Gold Clan Leader heard that the young ancestor had emerged and caused a stir in the Imperial City, she took leave from Daoist Buyu and hurried back to the Qiongqi Clan.

“What, our Qiongqi Clan doesn’t have to pay off the debt anymore?” The Gold Clan Leader was extremely excited upon hearing the news, feeling as if they were transforming from a poor kid to a wealthy second generation.

The young ancestor was truly amazing; just a trip to the Imperial City had resolved the Qiongqi Clan’s thorniest problem.

Jin Caiwei couldn’t stop smiling as the Gold Clan Leader and the Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators of the Qiongqi Clan praised her to high heaven.

She stood on high, boldly proclaiming, “Debts and such are trivial matters. Our Qiongqi Clan’s goals have changed. We’re not competing for eleventh or twelfth place anymore. We are now with the Heavenly Court, undoubtedly the strongest force in the strife of the Great Era. We are number one!”

The Gold Clan Leader, inspired by the young ancestor’s words, was boiling with enthusiasm and quickly offered a strategy.

“Young ancestor, I’ve just learned a money-making method from Daoist Buyu, which our Qiongqi Clan could use to rise to power.”

“Oh? What method?”

“Stocking up on rare goods! It involves storing very important items so that when the outside world wants to buy them, the price skyrockets. That’s when we sell them off and naturally make a profit!”

After pondering for a moment, Jin Caiwei thought it was a good idea and wondered why they hadn’t thought of it before, realizing that Gold Clan Leader really had learned something valuable from Daoist Buyu.

“So what are we planning to stock up on?”
