“Well, let’s go to the worldlet and have a look tomorrow.” Daofu nodded, looked around at the people present, and said in a clear voice, “This time, we called you here because we have something to announce. I think some people here have heard about the Kunlun Immortal World. The five of us are the representatives of various sects in the Kunlun Immortal World. In the past, every few decades, the Kunlun Immortal World would come down to look for those destined to go with us. Now, to waste no time, we called you here straight away.”
“The Kunlun Immortal World?”
“Gee, they are really from the immortal land!”
“Doesn’t that mean that we are all destined to go with them? And we can go to the Kunlun Immortal World to cultivate, can’t we?”
“…”
Many people began to discuss the matter animatedly.
The eyes of many lit up with excitement, for that even more advanced world appealed to them.
However, many shook their heads secretly. If they went off with the immortals, it might be many years before they came back next time. As they had long been accustomed to the secular life and had loved ones in this world, they had no desire to go visit the immortal land right away. Of course, most of those who shared this thought were elderly people.
Among them were the Warlord of Chan Clan, Gai Xingkong, Lei Tiannan, Ji Wushuang, and many others.
“What kind of place is the Kunlun Immortal World?”
The middle-aged man, Langfan, said casually, “It’s a vast world that is abundant in Spiritual Qi and resources. Of the 2,800 people who went to the Kunlun Immortal World 56 years ago, the weakest of these people now has the strength that is half a step away from the Elixir Realm. Do you know what the strength that half a step away from the Elixir Realm is? It’s way stronger than the Heaven Peak Stage. According to the most orthodox way of naming the cultivation realms, there are the Qi-refining Stage, the Foundation Stage, the Innateness Realm, and the Elixir Realm.”
“To become the pillar of society, one must reach the early stage of the Elixir Realm. If one enters the Elixir Realm Middle-Stage, one will begin to possess supreme power. When one reaches the Elixir Realm Last-Stage, one will be able to establish a sect in the Kunlun Immortal World. A cultivator at the peak of the Elixir Realm is a master who can dominate part of the world. After that, what waits ahead is the Origin Realm. Those in the Origin Realm are giants in the Kunlun Immortal World. The Wu Dao Grand Masters, God Realm, Earth Realm, and Heaven Realm are just the terms the martial arts world uses.”
“And one more thing,” Langfan grinned and said, “in here, you’re never going to reach the Elixir Realm because this world is damaged, and the spiritual Qi here is exhausted. No one can get that far in this world. If you want to make further progress, you must go to the Kunlun Immortal World. By the way, I’m Langfan from the White Horse Sect.”
“So the poaching has already started, hasn’t it?”
Yuan Bing couldn’t help but ridicule Langfan.
He turned up his nose at Langfan’s way of doing things.
“May I know what realm Your Excellency is in?” asked a young man in the crowd, who was looking at Langfan with admiration.
“Elixir Realm Middle-Stage”
Langfan waved nonchalantly and added, “You should all go to the Kunlun Immortal World. That’s the only way out. Some of the people who entered last time have even become martial artists at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage. They’re awesome. Since they can do it, why can’t you?”
“There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. What do we need to pay for then?” another middle-aged man asked.
“What you need to do is just complete some tasks for the training.” Wuxi glanced at the man and replied, “Undertaking the tasks will also hone your cultivation. Basically, every sect has its own training system. The greater contribution you make, the better resources you will get. With resources, your cultivation will improve faster.”
“…”
Seeing that the five seniors from the Kunlun Immortal World had patiently given detailed answers to the questions raised, the tension many had felt gradually dissipated and was replaced by excitement.
They had a chance to go to a more advanced land.
The Kunlun Immortal World!
What kind of opportunity was this?
And the Elixir Realm!
It turned out that the Earth Realm and the Heaven Realm were not orthodox terms, while the Innateness Realm and the Elixir Realm were.
“I’ll give you seven days to think about it. We’re here mainly to recruit the disciples of the sects in the worldlets. You’re just tagalongs.” Langfan waved his hand and continued, “In seven days, if you decided to go with us, come here and wait. I’ll take you to the Kunlun Immortal World. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that once you enter the Kunlun Immortal World, you can’t return to the secular world at will. But as the passageway is currently stabilized, it’s possible that you can go back every few years.”
“Whiz!”
They could come back once in a few years. Now, many were tempted.
Adding that Langfan had referred to them as tagalongs, the sudden blow to their self-esteem caused them to believe that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
However, Langfan did not tell them the full story. Like, more than 50 years ago, nearly 3,000 people entered the Kunlun Immortal World, but now, how many hundreds of them were still alive?
In fact, they were more interested in the people of the secular martial arts world because they had not been influenced by the sects. By contrast, the disciples of some sects were usually loyal to their sects. So, in the face of some problems, they tended to let their loyalty cloud their judgment. For instance, in a battle between two sects in the Kunlun Immortal World, when one party found out that the opponents also came from the same sect from the worldlet, they probably would not bring them to fight against their old fellows. Such things had happened more than once.
“That’s all for today. We’ve told you everything you need to know. Now, go back and make preparations. We’re now heading for the worldlets.” Langfan waved at the crowd and announced that the meeting was dismissed.
“Phew…”
Zhang Guangyou and First Elder breathed a sigh of relief. They didn’t expect that the seniors had come because of this matter.
Moreover, the five people were not from the same force. That was the key. Even though Lord Nan had come as well, since he was just one man, Zhang Guangyou reckoned that when his son came out of the Ancient Mine, Lord Nan could hardly take on his son.
“I…”
Zhang Guangyou’s eyes blinked. He wanted to ask if the other party knew his father, Zhang Mu, and how he was doing in the Kunlun Immortal World.
But given the circumstances, he didn’t dare to say anything for fear of being noticed by Nan Shisan.
However, even though he did not ask, Nan Shisan still looked over at him.
“Wait a minute. Now that you’re done with your business, it’s time to let me deal with mine.”
“Hiss!”
Meeting Nan Shisan’s cold eyes, Zhang Guangyou felt a chill down his spine.
“The third prince came here and established the Wind Snow School. After developing for several years, the Wind Snow School built its branches in all the five worldlets and became the number one sect.”
When Nan Shisan spoke, his tone was as calm as water.
Yet, the next words were spoken in a colder voice.
“But, to everyone’s surprise, many years later, the Wind Snow School was seriously frustrated by the Heavenly Knights Sect. It is said that the Heavenly Knights Sect was founded by Zhang Mu. Now, the Wind Snow School is only left with one main sect. Hahaha, is the Heavenly Knights Sect really that powerful? Since I am here, I will destroy the Heavenly Knights Sect even if it means I won’t have much time for the recruitment.”
“Buzz!”
As soon as Nan Shisan said the last word, his right hand was filled with a large amount of energy, as if he was about to kill Zhang Guangyou and the others right on the spot.
At this time, Ye Tianlang hurriedly said, “Senior, you can’t do that. The Heavenly Knights Sect is located in the Kun Xu World, but their members are basically from Mount New Moon.”
“What makes you think you’re qualified to speak here?”
The attack that was brewing in Nan Shisan’s right hand suddenly altered. The energy turned into a five-meter-long machete and pounced on Ye Tianlang like a flash of lightning.
In an instant, Ye Tianlang’s hair stood on end.
He knew that he had no way to fend it off.
“Am I going to die here today?”
Ye Tianlang’s face turned pale.
Just when the attack was about to reach him, Daofu waved his right hand slightly.
“Nan Shisan, don’t be so hot-tempered.”
“Eh?” Nan Shisan’s face darkened. “You wanna fight me?”
Daofu smiled and shook his head slightly. “No, I don’t. It is the Heavenly Knights Sect that has a feud with the Wind Snow School. So, it should be a battle between the two sects in the worldlet. Yet, these people in front of us now represent the secular Mount New Moon. I just think that you should go to the worldlet if you want to fight, not here.”
What Daofu was implying was that Nan Shisan shouldn’t scare the group of people in front of them with the strike. Daofu wouldn’t mind if Nan Shisan went off to the worldlet and attacked the Heavenly Knights Sect. However, Daofu would not like to see any discord in this place.
Nonetheless, Nan Shisan was not afraid of Daofu. He sneered and said, “It’s not up to you to tell me what to do.”
“Lord Nan, the owner of Mount New Moon is Zhang Hanyang. Zhang Hanyang played the biggest role in destroying the four branches of our Wind Snow School. He is also the son of the Young Master of the Heavenly Knights Sect and the grandson of Zhang Mu. He has been progressing in cultivation at an incredible speed. And we must nip him in the bud,” Zhan San said in alarm.
“Which one of them is Zhang Hanyang?” Nan Shisan asked coldly.
“Zhang Hanyang is not here.” Zhan San turned to look at Zi Yan and said, “But this young beauty is Zhang Hanyang’s wife. Also, Zhang Hanyang’s parents are present. As long as we hold them hostage, Zhang Hanyang will definitely come here and give up his own life.”
“Zhan San, you’re courting death!”
Zhang Guangyou was so furious that his face turned pale.
“Kill!”
Chen Changqing wasted no time arguing. In an instant, a long sword appeared in his hand.
“Kill!”
Instructor Liu and First Elder took out their weapons one after another.
Seeing this, the members of the Wind Snow School also put on a stern look and unsheathed their weapons. If not for the presence of the five seniors, the two parties would have already gotten into a fight.
However, Nan Shisan was here. For First Elder and the others, he was someone who could crush them all.
“Rumble!”
A muffled sound came out.
Nan Shisan lifted a foot and stepped in the air. Next, gusts of wind as sharp as blades wrapped up Zhang Guangyou and his men.
At the sight of this, Daofu slightly furrowed his eyebrows. But as Nan Shisan did not strike to hurt anything, he decided to remain silent.
“Are you Zhang Hanyang’s wife?”
At this time, Nan Shisan finally noticed Zi Yan. As a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, he exclaimed, “Never knew that there is such a gorgeous woman in the secular world. She is not inferior to some Saintly Women of some sects. Good. Come and sleep with me.”
His words made the faces of Daofu and the other seniors stiffen a little.
They were surprised to know that Nan Shisan was actually into this kind of thing.
“The beauties in the secular world are just beautiful skeletons walking among us. Nan Shisan, don’t forget your status.” Daofu couldn’t help remind him.
“Old man, if you point your finger at me one more time, we might have to have a life-or-death battle,” Nan Shisan replied with a frosty face.
Then, he turned to Zhang Guangyou and the others again.
“I’ll either kill them all, or have you in my bed and keep them alive for now. Between you and Zhang Hanyang’s parents, which one shall I hurt? It’s all up to you.”
“Rumble!”
Zi Yan felt as if a bomb had exploded in her head.
Zhang Guangyou’s face was deathly pale. But as he made to speak, he felt tremendous pressure bearing down on him and bending his body, precluding him from uttering a word.
First Elder and Third Elder, who were at the Heaven Peak Stage, managed to stand upright and could still speak.
“Don’t push us too hard.”
“And what if I do?” Nan Shisan replied blandly, “The third prince of our Wind Snow Temple has come to the secular world and established the Wind Snow School. Hence, there is a historic enmity between me and the Heavenly Knights Sect. Today, I have every right to attack them. If you had a powerful backer, I wouldn’t complain if you called him here and killed me. Sadly, you don’t. The people in the Kunlun Immortal World don’t take innocent lives, but they won’t show mercy to their enemies either.”
That remark could be considered as an explanation to the more than 1,000 martial artists at the scene.
It also made him sigh softly and fall silent.
If he continued to talk Nan Shisan out of it, he might make an enemy out of Nan Shisan’s master, Nan Feng, the third prince.
“Even though you have your reasons, you can’t bully others like this.”
The Warlord of the Chan Clan took two steps forward and said slowly, “Lord Nan, you come from the Kunlun Immortal World. If you fight against your foe, the Heavenly Knights Sect, it won’t be a big deal. But now, you’re up to something to hurt a vulnerable woman. It’s hardly justifiable.”
“Huh?”
Nan Shisan’s eyes turned chilly as he looked at the Warlord of the Chan Clan.
