“Father Niu, are you alright?” Shen Ying asked.

“Yeah,” Lonemoon nodded. “I won’t die.” His immortal bones had formed, but he exhausted all his Immortal Qi to defend himself against that 82nd divine lightning bolt. Now that things have settled down, he was a spent force. All he feared was his newly formed immortal bones would break. Yet, this realm did not have a single bit of Immortal Qi. He could not heal his bones even if he wanted to.

“Chef, do you have any idea?” Shen Ying turned to ask Yi Qing, who was standing behind her. She took one glance at Lonemoon and knew he was putting on a strong front.

Yi Qing nodded, “Let me heal his meridians first.”

He sat down behind Lonemoon and activated his Spirit Qi. Golden light emanated from Lonemoon. After a few minutes, the colour returned to Lonemoon’s face. He was indeed looking much better. The wounds that formed from the lightning tribulation slowly healed.

No matter what, however, Spirit Qi could not compare to Immortal Qi. Lonemoon’s wounds weer recovering extremely slowly. Shen Ying sat next to him for three full hours before Yi Qing finally opened his eyes. Lonemoon kept still and regulated his breathing.

“He’s alright now?”

Yi Qing shook his head, “I only managed to recover his superficial wounds. His internal wounds…” Spirit Qi was simply too weak to heal immortal bones. “He has to ascend quickly, otherwise…”

Yi Qing could not finish his sentence. It was obvious: If Lonemoon did not ascend, he would become a traveling immortal.

Shen Ying frowned and turned to open the door, “Little Green, bring that jerk who produced the lightning bolts over here.”

“Yes, Sect Master,” Si Yu responded. The loud punching noises outside finally stopped. Si Yu dragged a swollen immortal to the doorway and threw him into the room.

The immortal rolled two full rounds on the floor before he finally stopped.

Shen Ying picked up a fruit from the table and took a bite. A few seconds later, she said, “Begin.”

The immortal stiffened. Begin what? He raised his head and saw Shen Ying’s body trembling uncontrollably. Suddenly, the wounds all around his body hurt ten times more. He lost whatever backbone he had left, “I’ll talk… I’ll talk.”

He was an immortal after all. He rested for a while after Shen Ying stopped hurting him, and his wounds slowly healed. He took a deep breath and said, “I… I’m just an immortal door guard of the Qing Tong Immortal Abode. I… I never intended to break anyone’s immortal bones. I’m just following orders. I have no other option.”

“Following orders?” Yi Qing’s expression darkened. “We have never offended immortals from the Upper World. Whose orders are you on? Why did you do this?”

“I… I am following the orders of the abode master.” He barely raised his head to glance at Yi Qing and Shen Ying and fell silent. A few moments later, he continued, “My master is Stygian Immortal Xun Li. His orders were for me to stop people in this realm from ascending into immortality. I am just a lowly Earth Immortal – I cannot refuse his orders.”

“Why is he doing this?” Yi Qing asked.

The immortal hesitated and a look of panic flashed across his face. Immediately, he said, “I.. I don’t know either. This small world is all that my master has. I don’t know why he wants it to go to waste like this.”

“What do you mean this world is all he has?” Yi Qing raised his eyebrows. “What exactly does that mean?”

“My master created this world.” He glanced fearfully at the three of them once again and said, “You are probably unaware of this because you’re living in this world, but compared to the 3000 other planets, the Azure World is really small. Back then, the immortal god Ge You gave my master a meridian. My master used this meridian to create a realm and summoned hundreds of thousands of spirits into it. That was how the Azure World formed. This world thus originally… belonged to my master.”

All of them remained extremely still, in shock upon hearing this.

Never had they imagined that the Azure World was created by an immortal from the upper world.

“I think… you had better let me go,” the immortal tried his luck. “I’m a mere Earth Immortal, but my master is a Stygian immortal. He holds all the Azure World in the palm of his hand. If you anger him…”

“…” None of them said a word. They trained so hard to ascend to immortality. Now, this immortal was telling them that no matter how hard they tried, they would never ascend to immortality. Further, this entire world was randomly created by an immortal somewhere out there. How could they accept this?
