Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Time flew by. Half a month quietly passed in the blink of an eye.
Payne was checking on the demon seal at the Azure Ville. Gu Changqing was studying it behind him.
It became a daily task.
Gu Yuan flew in slowly on a cloud. He looked a bit serious when he said, “Sect Master, according to our sources, aside from Amon, there’s another demon servant that was released by the name of Backo.”
“The demons work fast!” Payne frowned and said. “No wonder the expert mentioned the demon seal. I’m afraid we’ll be facing a big challenge even if we’re early.”
Gu Changqing asked, “Grandpa, what realms are the demon servants usually from?”
“Not pass the Real Immortal realm.” Gu Yuan groaned for a moment and said, “Demons from the Real Immortal realm are demon generals. Then, in the Golden Immortal realm, they’re demon lords.”
“Demon lords are too rare. They’re on the same level as the Lord Immortal in the Above Immortal Realm. A bigshot amongst bigshots. They can control Dao however they like. They can even shred worlds apart.”
Payne paused and continued, “Don’t worry if it’s just demon servants. I’m here. I’m not afraid of two or more demon servants!”
Gu Changqing was in awe as he asked excitedly, “Sect Master, what realm are you from?”
Payne smiled. “Not to brag but I’m from the Real Immortal... Intermediate realm!”
Gasp—
Gu Changqing was envious and respectful. “Awesome.”
Payne said arrogantly, “Haha, how else would I be able to create a sect in the Above Immortal Realm?”
Gu Changqing curiously asked, “Sect Master, do you know what realm the expert comes from?”
“Don’t gossip about the incredible expert!” Payne hurriedly stopped him. Then, he quietly said, “From what I can tell, I’m not sure if the Lord Immortal’s worthy enough to wash the expert’s feet.”
Gu Changqing fell deep into thought. A figure flew in from afar.
It was an elder with a horsetail whisk at hand. He stopped mid-air.
Gu Changqing was surprised. He asked, “Cultivator Yunshan?”
“Cultivator Changqing, long time no see,” greeted Yunshan.
Gu Changqing arched his eyebrow and asked curiously, “Cultivator Yunshan, what brings you to my Azure Ville?”
Yunshan was the Sect Master of the Wuchang Palace. He was also a cultivator from the Dacheng realm, same as Gu Changqing. They got along quite well as they used to study Dao together, but they did not visit each other often.
Sigh.
Yunshan sighed and frowned as if he was trying to put the words together.
Gu Changqing had a bad feeling about it. He quickly said, “Cultivator Yunshan, just give it to me straight.”
Yunshan did not reply immediately. He looked at Gu Yuan and Payne instead. He respectfully said, “May I know who these two are...”
“My grandpa and my ancestor,” answered Gu Changqing honestly.
“The two ancestors!” Yunshan did not look surprised. He hurriedly saluted, “Greetings from Yunshan to the two Immortals.”
Payne raised his hand like he was thinking about something. He said, “No need to be so polite. From the looks of it, you’re here for something regarding the Above Immortal Realm?”
Yunshan said, “You’re great at predictions, Immortal. This is a bit hard to talk about. Sorry about that, everyone.”
“Say it,” frowned Payne.
Yunshan quickly put the words together and said, “My ancestor transcended to the Above Immortal Realm a long time ago, too. Yesterday, he sent me a message. He wished that you could hurry back to the Above Immortal Realm.”
“Why?”
Yunshan replied, “My ancestor’s in a sect named Liuyun Palace. He said it was the request of the Lord Immortal.”
“Liuyun Palace? Lord Immortal?”
Gu Yuan and Payne changed their facial expressions at the same time. They were familiar with the two phrases.
They were gossiping about the Lord Immortal earlier, but in an instant, they were wanted by the Lord Immortal. They felt like it was a joke from God.
Payne frowned hard.
The Liuyun Palace was well-known.
They did not have a lot of disciples but they were insanely cool. The lord of the palace was from the Golden Immortal Master realm—unimaginably powerful.
They had not spoken to each other before.
Payne asked, “Can I know what for?”
“He didn’t say why, but my ancestor said you already know the reason.” Yunshan groaned for a moment then bowed again. He anxiously said, “My ancestor said that the Lord Immortal has already invited the Sect Master of the Heavenly Water Sect.”
“What?” Payne did not look happy. His Immortal aura came at Yunshan like a tsunami.
Yunshan was instantly knocked down from the sky. He crashed into the ground as heavy pressure fell on him.
The ground had a man-shaped hole and it was deepening further.
Yunshan was flushed. It was as if he had tonnes of weight on him. He almost suffocated to death.
“Please, don’t be mad. It has nothing to do with me!”
He was helpless, too. His ancestor set him up to be a potentially dead messenger.
Payne slowly relaxed.
Yunshan crawled out of the hole. He had dirt all over him. His horsetail whisk was broken, too. He was a mess.
He did not dare to stay much longer so he hurriedly said, “That’s all for the message. I’m really sorry. Farewell.”
He immediately left.
He would stay as far as possible from an angry Immortal. So scary.
Gu Yuan looked very worried. “Sect Master, I’m afraid the Lord Immortal’s coming for the expert. This isn’t good.”
“It looks like I’ll have to return to the Above Immortal Realm,” sighed Payne. He looked around and said, “Gu Yuan, stay on your guard. The demons are for you to handle.”
Gu Yuan said, “Should I visit the expert first? It’s the Lord Immortal!”
“Not appropriate.” Payne shook his head. “We aren’t that close to the expert yet so we can’t disturb him like that.”
“Alright, stop talking. There’s a lot of people observing us. I’m leaving!”
Then, Payne left on a cloud immediately.
Gu Changqing and Gu Yuan looked worried. They said, “Farewell, Sect Master.”
Nighttime.
At the four-part architecture.
Creak.
A door slowly opened.
Li Nianfan walked out wearing a loose robe with a towel in hand. His hair was slightly wet.
He bumped headfirst into a red figure at the door.
Li Nianfan was taken aback. He quickly checked his clothes to ensure he was not nude. Then, he said, “What are you doing here?”
Was the Phoenix listening to his shower?
The Fire Phoenix twitched her nose. She asked curiously, “What a unique aroma. How did you do it?”
She finally asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time.
Li Nianfan smiled and casually said, “Oh, it’s shower gel. I made it myself. It’s infused with several types of flowers.”
“Shower gel?” The Fire Phoenix was confused.
“It’s a thing for showers,” said Li Nianfan while he walked back into his room.
The Fire Phoenix most probably did not care about that. Would Immortals need to shower?
Li Nianfan stood at the door of his room and reminded, “Daji, I’ve prepared the water for your bath. The temperature’s just right, so hurry up.”
Daji yelled, “Yeah, coming.”
The Fire Phoenix stood at the door. She felt like she was missing out on something.
Suddenly, Daji walked over, carrying her clothes. She gracefully stepped into the bathroom.
The bathroom was big and had a big bathtub. The water was drawn by Li Nianfan. It had a layer of white bubbles on top.
Daji smiled and excitedly took off her clothes to soak in the bathtub.
Phew—
The nice temperature made her sigh in relief. Her small face was blushing as she shut her eyes and enjoyed the moment.
However, she heard a ‘creak’ sound. The door swung open. The Fire Phoenix rushed over.
Daji was shocked. She glared at the Fire Phoenix, “What are you doing?”
The Fire Phoenix sneered as if she figured it all out. “The Master loves to pretend he’s an ordinary man, so he showers. But we’re never dirty. We’re dustless, so what are you showering for?”
She stared at the water that Daji was soaking in. She made an intriguing sound then dipped her hand into the water. Then, she tasted it.
Suddenly, her eyes went wide. She looked like she was in disbelief. She dipped her head into the water to drink it.
“This... Is this really water from the Feixian Pond?!”
Daji looked mad. “Get out of here!”
“You damn fox, you didn’t bring me along for something nice like this?”
The Fire Phoenix was flushed from anger. “I knew something was off. You were so excited to shower. There must be something wrong! You have to bring me along next time!”
Water from the Feixian Pond!
She had a very deep impression of the Feixian Pond.
In the eldritch era, the Feixian Pond was well-known for its properties.
Feixian meant to transcend into an Immortal!
It had insanely amazing properties.
Everyone had the chance to soak in it after transcending into an Immortal.
Once ordinary people soaked themselves in the Feixian Pond, they could gain a lot of Insights, Dao, and Wisdom. They would be a body for Basics of Wisdom with improvements. If demons entered the Feixian Pond, their blood could be improved.
According to legends, the Feixian Pond was a gift and a blessing.
However, the Feixian Pond gradually disappeared in a faraway era.
The Fire Phoenix did not expect that the water they used to shower with was water from the Feixian Pond!
That was beyond her imagination.
She stared at Daji and said with jealousy, “You’ve bathed in here so many times already. Move, let me!”
Daji sunk further into the bathtub. “No way, get out of here!”
“Then we’ll just take the bubble bath together!” The Fire Phoenix took off her clothes on the spot and leaped into the bathtub.
“Argh—So nice...”
“What are you doing? Get out, now!”
“Nope! Scoot! Scoot over!”
