Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The light emanating from the spatial gate became more and more dazzling.
The aura of another world began to spread.
This was clearly a passageway between two worlds.
All of a sudden, a slightly thin man with fair skin, blue hair, and green eyes emerged tentatively from the spatial gate before surveying the surrounding environment.
After a while, an ecstatic expression appeared on his face, and he whooped with joy. “We’ve made it! We really made it! This is a new world, and it’s very likely to be the world the Immortal King is situated in!”
A surge rippled within the light.
Immediately afterward, a series of figures with powerful auras began to emerge.
This was a group of over a hundred people and all of them were Return to Void Stage mighty figures while the three at the very center were Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures.
There was a blue-haired man with bright blue eyes that was holding a golden trident and exuding a natural air of prestige and authority.
There was a woman in a red dress with flames burning around her body. Her figure was extremely tall and slender, and her gorgeous eyes were seemingly capable of sucking away one’s soul.
Lastly, there was a man with a concealed aura. He was wearing a plain daoist robe and had an antiquated sword hanging from his waist.
“Is this the Tai Chu Continent mentioned by the Immortal King?”
“What rich vital energy!”
All of the powerful beings exclaimed with curiosity and amazement.
At the same time, an air of pride was emanating from their bodies.
In the Divine Source Continent, they were Exalted Immortals who were extremely revered. Furthermore, they possessed the abilities to topple mountains and part oceans, and their powers would be sure to hold them in good stead even on the Tai Chu Continent!
Indeed, these powerful beings were from the Divine Source Continent.
Ever since An Lin took the Heavenly Dao fragment with him, not only did the Divine Source Continent not fall into decline, it instead began to thrive. It was as if something that had been repressed for a long time was finally released. Vital energy density swelled drastically, and all types of peculiar immortal phenomena appeared. All of the immortals found it easier to attain enlightenment, and there were even three Return to Void Pinnacle Stage Exalted Immortals who had reached Dao Integration Stage.
“Ms. Yang Lingqian, can you contact the Immortal King?”
At this moment, one of the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures turned with a rare, respectful expression to a Return to Void Initial Stage female cultivator in a red dress.
Yang Lingqian extended a slender hand and looked at the crimson bracelet on her wrist. Her cheeks were slightly flushed as she replied in a quiet voice, “I… I can sense that he’s here in this world, but I don’t know his exact location.”
“Hehe, then let’s stir up some big event in this world and let the Immortal King come to find us!” A Return to Void Pinnacle Stage Exalted Immortal chuckled.
The Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure holding the golden trident furrowed his brows slightly. “That’s not a good idea. The Immortal King definitely wouldn’t be pleased if we were to stir up trouble in this world.”
“He Shen, you’re now at the Immortal King Stage already as well. Do you really have to worry about what the Immortal King thinks?” That Exalted Immortal still wore a mysterious smile on his face.
“Exactly. If you ask me, Immortal King An Lin was only on par with Feng Wuya back then. However, you’re even more powerful than Feng Wuya was, so why do you have to settle for a place below Immortal King An Lin?” Another beautiful Exalted Immortal chuckled.
“Ouyang Tai, Shi Zhen, do you know what you’re saying? Those are extremely blasphemous words! Without Immortal King An Lin, how would the Divine Source Continent have been able to undergo such a drastic transformation? Where would you be today without Immortal King An Lin?!” Yang Lingqian wore an enraged expression as she scolded them.
“The transformation to the continent is a result of the Heavenly Dao’s will, what does it have to do with Immortal King An Lin? I really don’t understand why you insist on attributing these changes to Immortal King An Lin.” An elderly man stroked his beard and shook his head.
“I suspect it might be because someone is feeling insecure about their position as a cabinet minister as they went through a backdoor to get there. As such, they’re trying desperately to uphold An Lin’s status as the premier being in the Divine Source Continent.” Shi Zhen chuckled.
“After all, He Shen, Yan Ji, and Wang Chen have all reached the Immortal King Stage and are more powerful than Feng Wuya was. In the past, An Lin was only about on par in power with Feng Wuya, so it really would be inappropriate for him to hold the title of the most powerful being on the Divine Source Continent.” Another straightforward Exalted Immortal offered their opinion.
“You…!” Yang Lingqian’s eyes widened, and she was enraged beyond words.
She knew that these people were becoming more and more arrogant as their cultivation bases quickly progressed. However, never did she think that they would dare to say something like this. Were they prepared to completely disregard An Lin?
Before they had used her sensory ability to open up this passageway between the two worlds, these people had retained a shred of respect toward her. But now, were they going to immediately turn on her after arriving in the new world?
“Alright, stop bickering.” He Shen put an end to their quarrel.
Yan Ji chimed in, “Exactly. In any case, Immortal King An Lin is our old boss. Even if we want to split the jurisdictive power and resources on the Divine Source Continent among us, we have to secure his approval first.”
“I’m not interested in all that. I just want to know who is more powerful between myself and Immortal King An Lin,” Wang Chen wore a cold expression as he said in an indifferent voice.
Yang Lingqian was struck by a sense of sorrow upon hearing this conversation.
She knew that they were still trying to retain a shred of dignity for An Lin in their words, but they did not respect him from the bottom of their hearts. Instead, they were merely extending this courtesy to him as they were still somewhat in awe of his feats in the past.
“We should be in the deep sea at the moment. Let’s go to the surface and see what this world is like,” He Shen suggested.
All of the Exalted Immortals expressed their agreement.
He Shen held a very high position in their hearts, and even Yan Ji and Wang Chen wore respectful expressions when interacting with him.
After An Lin had left, he was the first person on the Divine Source Continent to have reached the Immortal King Stage. As such, he was a cultivating pioneer. Thus, he commanded much more respect than An Lin did.
All of the immortals floated to the surface together.
“This seawater is white in color. How interesting.”
“These tree roots are so massive, and they extend directly into the seabed. Is this some sort of gigantic tree?”
“I can sense extremely rich life force energy within this tree. I really want to uproot it and take it away!”
“Don’t be rash. Let’s rise to the surface and see what kind of tree this is first.”
“Is this a broken formation? I can feel the power of the formation, but it has been shattered by the tree trunk. This is indeed no ordinary tree…”
The immortals discussed spiritedly among one another at the sight of the phenomena before their eyes. All of them were extremely excited and curious.
The immortals rose to the surface of the sea and were greeted by the sight of the blue sky, as well as an unfathomably massive tree.
“My God… How could this tree be so tall?” Ouyang Tai was astonished.
“There’s no end in sight! Is this a divine tree? I wonder if there will be treasures at the top…” Shi Zhen’s eyes glowed with a scorching light, and she was itching for action.
“How about we make this divine tree our first base?” an Exalted Immortal suggested.
“But a place like this must have been conquered by a certain power already…” another Exalted Immortal responded hesitantly.
Shi Zhen chuckled. “Such an extraordinary object can only become the possession of the Immortal King forces. No one else deserves this.”
The immortals either expressed their approval or remained silent upon hearing this; there were very few objectors.
They were the most powerful immortals on the Divine Source Continent, and they naturally harbored ambitions to conquer this new world. In their eyes, conquering this divine tree would be a simple task.
All of the Exalted Immortals turned to the three Immortal Kings. As soon as they gave the word, everyone would spring into action.
It was also at this moment that a dense group of black dots appeared near the divine tree.
“All those who dare to invade our Central Heavenly Gate must die!”
