Busy streets worship True Immortal (Request for monthly tickets)_2 “What kind of being is True Immortal Chen?

If he truly harbored ill intentions towards us, who within the Nanxun Kingdom could withstand him?

Death would be certain.”

“Indeed!

After all, True Immortal Chen is a True Immortal who emerged from our Nanxun.

Unlike other malevolent immortals, he too wishes for Nanxun to cultivate more True Immortals.”

“Then why not take more people with him?

...

Why limit it only to innate martial artists…”

Various innate martial artists and powers privately discussed these concerns amongst themselves.

Some powers had immense trust in Chen Dengming, including the Nanxun royal family itself.

Within the deep palace of the Nanxun royal family, the contemporary Emperor of Nanxun personally led several princes and princesses to visit a modest-looking palace building, as if the person living inside was someone within the royal palace worthy of the Emperor’s reverence.

Soon, the palace doors were opened by a young eunuch.

An old eunuch, his hair white as snow and skin as wrinkled and thin as chicken skin, slowly walked out from inside the palace.

He emitted an aura of late twilight and a scent not typical of ordinary eunuchs— rather, it was an elusive sweet fragrance, as if it came from one of the Fragrant Concubines within the deep palace.

Smelling this sweet fragrance, the young Emperor of Nanxun’s face brightened as he said, “Mr.

Wei, has your ‘Qiankun Sunflower Law’ by any chance reached complete perfection?”

The old eunuch’s lips, dry and shriveled as threads nearly sewn together, never parted, yet he managed to produce a youthful sounding voice that everyone could hear.

“The old one has not achieved complete perfection.

Ascending to heaven to turn mortal to immortal is far too difficult, yet I have successfully wrested some additional years of life from heaven.

It appears I may live a few more years.

I feel I have reached the limit.

Over the years, however, I have consistently failed to perceive the ‘connection to heaven’ that Wang Shiduo once spoke of—it seems I truly possess no Spiritual Root…”

The Emperor of Nanxun complimented, “Minister Wei, you are too modest.

Your martial arts prowess is peerless within Nanxun and you are a contemporary of True Immortal Chen.

True Immortal Chen values loyalty and fancies peers distinguished in martial arts.

Now that he has summoned heroes from all around to pursue the Dao of Immortality together, should you join them, a new grand avenue might just be laid out before you.”

The old eunuch Wei Jinzhong shook his head and calmly said, “Your Majesty, there’s no need to comfort the old one.

I am willing to leave seclusion and lead a few princes and princesses to pursue the Dao of Immortality, just as it was during the time of the Ascension Convention years ago.

However, once I enter the Cultivation World, I can only do my best to protect them.”

The Emperor of Nanxun was overjoyed and immediately urged the princes and princesses to thank Mr.

Wei, then he said sentimentally, “This is all because True Immortal Chen personally stated he would offer some protection and resources to those leaving Nanxun.

This is already a very favorable outcome.

Over the years, we have indeed sent some expendable warriors through the channel of the Immortal Pool into the Cultivation World.

However, once these warriors entered, their fates have been uncertain, and none have ever returned.

This uncertainty has kept our royal family’s knowledge of the Cultivation World still at an unknown stage.

But now, with the protection promised by True Immortal Chen himself, it is different!

This is a celestial fate, an immense celestial opportunity.”

The old eunuch’s eyes suddenly gleamed as he gave a sardonic smile, and he murmured into the Emperor’s ear, “Your Majesty, you need not speak of such superficial things to me.

Over the years, the only significant figure from Nanxun has been True Immortal Chen and another remarkable person.

True Immortal Chen has taken many people from Nanxun, and this time he has likely brought back that child from those years, Chen Jing.

Wang Shiduo, however, has not returned.

It is unknown whether he has become a True Immortal or not…

Your Majesty also desires a True Immortal from the royal family, so that you need not live in fear anymore, afraid that suddenly a few immortals might emerge from the Immortal Pool to threaten the lands and the rule of Nanxun, threatening your throne!”

The Emperor of Nanxun fell silent, then he sighed and nodded his head.

He indeed harbored such intentions.

He had always felt a sense of crisis, worried that, just like in the past, eighteen Immortals might suddenly emerge from the Immortal Pool and collapse the Traversing Mountain Range.

The sound of that mountain range breaking nearly made him tumble from his throne, informing him of how laughable and unstable the supreme imperial power truly is in a world with immortals.

Not to mention, the Wang’s family might also have produced a True Immortal like Wang Shiduo.

The imperial throne of his Nanxun Li Family had also been seized, while the Wang family was even closer to the dragons.

If Wang Shiduo were to return to Nanxun to seize the throne for the Wang’s family from his Li Family, what could his Li Family possibly use to resist?

All these were threats, making him a sleep-deprived emperor, often waking from nightmares.

Thus, the royal family must produce an Immortal, even if it takes several generations of cultivation in the Cultivation World.

Only those powers with no grand vision would worry whether True Immortal Chen might intentionally harm them.

The royal family possesses great schemes and visions; even with the knowledge of potential harm, they must try if there’s even the slightest chance, especially since True Immortal Chen is very unlikely to harm a fellow Nanxun native.

…

Another dozen days later.

In front of Chen Mansion, the street was bustling with traffic and crowded with people.

In the past, when the night wind swept through the streets, one could only hear the rustling of miscellaneous litter and leaves, despite knowing that this place was the famed residence of True Immortal Chen from Nanxun.

It was usually not a place frequented by many.

But lately, the area was exceptionally lively even at night.

Many distinguished families and Sects from Nanxun, including myriad innate martial artists, traveled thousands of miles to gather here.

So many innate martial artists, encompassing more than half of Nanxun’s population.
