Yi Feng brought Gong Chen to the Immortal Realm.
Feeling the fresh air of the Immortal Realm again, Gong Chen's body trembled slightly.
He looked at Yi Feng beside him with great respect.
Being able to return to the Immortal Realm was something he had never dared to imagine before.
However, even though he had returned to the Immortal Realm, he still felt very uneasy.
What exactly did he mean to his master, and why had he been chosen for such an important role?
Was it luck?
Or did he have some special quality?
He didn't believe he had such incredible luck, nor did he think he had any outstanding qualities that would attract such a powerful master.
After hesitating for a moment, Gong Chen cautiously voiced his question.
Then he added, "Why does Master only recruit people from Dark Shadow Island?"
Yi Feng's eyelid twitched when he heard this.
This... this stupid question... How could someone as weak as him dare to trick powerful experts anywhere else besides Dark Shadow Island, where they couldn't use their cultivation?
Others could flatten him with a single palm!
He may have had problems with his spiritual roots, but his brain worked just fine.
To be honest, if he hadn't met these people on Dark Shadow Island, but somewhere else instead.
They definitely wouldn't have sworn to follow him.
Of course, he couldn't say this to Gong Chen.
"For now, I'm only recruiting people from Dark Shadow Island," he replied.
"Why?" Gong Chen asked respectfully.
"The secrets of heaven..."
Yi Feng spoke slowly, shaking his head gently, and said mysteriously: "Cannot be revealed."
Ah, this...
Gong Chen was at a loss for words.
The next moment, he realized something and immediately shut his mouth, not daring to ask further.
Master said, the secrets of heaven...
What the Immortal Realm called "secrets of heaven" weren't the true secrets.
Those so-called secrets calculated by the old monsters of the Immortal Realm were nothing more than personal fate or tribulations, or the rise and fall of certain powers. At most, they could only predict some future calamities of the world.
But the true secrets of heaven, no one could calculate.
Master mentioned the secrets of heaven... It must not be the ordinary kind referred to in the Immortal Realm.
It seems that Master is planning something earth-shattering! Only this could warrant such caution from Master.
What could it be?
Gong Chen pondered silently.
Suddenly, his confused mind grasped onto something, and his eyes widened.
Only recruiting people from Dark Shadow Island...
And Dark Shadow Island was the most dangerous place of exile in the Immortal Realm.
Equivalent to a death row prison, from which no one could escape.
Those who could be on Dark Shadow Island were all serious criminals of the Immortal Realm.
The only ones who could banish people to Dark Shadow Island... Gong Chen's eyes widened even more.
It was the Heavenly Immortal Palace!
Could it be... Gong Chen was frightened by the idea that popped into his mind.
Could Master's plan be related to the Heavenly Immortal Palace?
It must be.
Gong Chen was somewhat shocked.
But thinking of Master's strength, he gradually calmed down.
He had seen a few of those old fogies from the Immortal Palace, and they were indeed powerful.
But compared to Master, they were still far behind.
No matter what Master was planning for the Immortal Palace, even if it was to destroy it, Gong Chen thought nothing was impossible.
If it was really about destroying the Immortal Palace and establishing a new one to control the Immortal Realm... hehe...
As Master's closest subordinate, he would at least be an elder.
An elder of the Immortal Palace, Gong Chen felt elated just thinking about it.
It was truly delightful.
Involuntarily, he glanced at Yi Feng beside him, as if seeking confirmation.
And coincidentally, Yi Feng turned his head and smiled at him.
Yi Feng's smile seemed to give him some kind of affirmation, instantly making Gong Chen clench his buttocks.
He thought to himself: It really is so.
With Gong Chen as his bodyguard, Yi Feng was no longer afraid. He took Gong Chen to a tavern in the city, eating and drinking to his heart's content, thoroughly enjoying himself.
But far away, countless miles distant, there were others enjoying themselves even more.
Three newly acquainted lackeys of Lu Benwei and the others descended.
Here were jade palaces and jeweled towers.
A scene of revelry and prosperity.
The pure fragrance of wine permeated the air. Just deeply inhaling the scent of this wine seemed to stabilize one's realm somewhat.
All around, immortal maidens dressed in silk occasionally floated by.
They were the attendants of this place.
Yet even these mere attendants had realms they couldn't discern.
"This..."
"Is this the Azure Sky White Jade Tower, the number one pleasure house in the Immortal Realm!?"
The three of them were stunned by the scene before them.
My goodness.
In an instant, the great Lu had brought them from the competition venue to this legendary top pleasure house.
The three of them looked around curiously, like country bumpkins entering a village.
The reputation of the Immortal Realm's number one pleasure house was certainly not exaggerated.
Those who could afford to indulge here were all great powers.
Even the lowest attendants here were at least Profound Immortal realm. Although the three of them came from decent backgrounds, this was their first time coming to such a place.
After being dazed for a moment, the three looked at the five elders beside them.
"Li Tian, Li Di, Li Ren, pay respects to Elder Lu, Dog Elder, Night Wind Elder, Milk Elder, and Spirit King Elder!"
The three quickly knelt down and respectfully addressed the skeleton, centipede, dog, bear, and soul entity at the head of the table, each flanked by two immortal maidens.
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
