Chapter 423: 423 Immortal Prison
Earth Immortal?
Upon seeing the golden armor on the man, Old Daoist Yu Ming was astounded.
How can an Earth Immortal exist in this world?
After the collapse of the Way of Heaven, whether you’re an Earth Immortal or Celestial Immortal, you’ll fall from your realm and at most be able to maintain as a Human Immortal.
He has lived for more than a thousand years and encountered all sorts of strange things. He has met reincarnated mighty beings from ancient times and even living Celestial Immortals from the ancient eras. None of them surpassed him in cultivation.
A living Earth Immortal? How is this possible?
The founder of Guang Yuan Sect came from the Heavenly Court. Among the sect’s records, there is a hand-rolled book that details information about the Heavenly Court, including how the heavenly soldiers and generals are classified.
Only an Earth Immortal can serve as a third-rank general, wearing a golden armor, which is an Earth Grade Spirit Treasure.
Feeling the oppressive force emanating from that golden armor, Yu Ming had only ever felt such a pressure before when he was in the presence of a living Celestial Immortal – after achieving his own profound cultivation.
This is bad!
A layer of fine sweat beads instantly appeared on his forehead.
To encounter an Earth Immortal with an unknown background could be a terrifying experience. Battle? Would lose. Flee? Can’t escape. Both life and death are controlled by others.
Why did he have to stumble upon this kind of situation on this particular trip inside?
Could it be related to the recent changes in the Way of Heaven?
Yun Hua, who stood behind him, was also astonished. Wasn’t it said that no one else existed in the Heavenly Court?
She was about to ask her master, but observing the terrified expression on his face, she felt a knot in her stomach and dared not ask further.
…
“There are people?”
Gu Yang had just taken a bath and was merrily heading back to his camp when he discovered two more people in the barracks and his steps involuntarily slowed down.
Encountering other people within the Heavenly Court was something he never anticipated.
Had the inhabitants of the Heavenly Court awakened?
Or, were they intruders from outside?
From their attire, they seemed to be the latter.
One of them had an elusive aura that painted an unfathomable impression.
Hollow Void?
He was uncertain, but without a doubt, the old man in the Daoist robe was the most powerful individual he had ever encountered—more so than even Lord Chi Ming’s incarnation.
It could only be the Hollow Void realm.
Such a being is actually present in his world.
In the face of such a figure, he felt somewhat unsure.
Most importantly, he knew nothing about the other party’s background.
Encountering a Hollow Void realm expert in a place like the Heavenly Court would definitely require careful consideration from anyone.
He just arrived here two days ago and had already gained countless benefits.
A treasure like this, discovered by two groups simultaneously, and these two groups discovering each other simultaneously– suspicion was inevitable.
The most frightening thing was that he was currently on the weaker side.
“Wait, this is the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Law prohibits private fights. If discovered, they can be stripped of their cultivation at the least, and at worst, executed.”
Remembering where he was, Gu Yang felt settled.
Moreover, during the Simulation, there was no mention of these two, which meant they would not pose a significant impact on him, much less any fatal threat.
Feeling more confident, he continued approaching them, thinking of how to start the conversation, just as the Hollow Void elder bowed in respect, “Greetings, High Immortal.”
High Immortal?
This surprised Gu Yang and almost threw him off balance, but luckily, he reacted promptly and realized that the golden armor he wore had caused the misunderstanding.
“Did they mistake me for an Earth Immortal?”
In the Heavenly Court, those who wear golden armor are heavenly generals, and typically, only Earth Immortals qualify to serve as such.
His rapid promotion was due to his exceptional merit, which others could hardly replicate.
After all, he was credited with slaying a Celestial Immortal demon beast. Although the Demon-Slaying Sword did most of the job, without him, who knows how long that demon beast would have wreaked havoc in the Heavenly River.
With the Way of Heaven gradually recovering, there was a chance that the demon beast would eventually break loose and cause chaos in the Heavenly Court, which would lead to immeasurable losses.
After understanding this, Gu Yang gave a slight nod and casually asked, “Where did you come from?”
Old Daoist Yu Ming replied in fear and trepidation, “I’m just a simple country folk, of no importance. I wouldn’t dare bother the High Immortal with my story.”
Gu Yang clearly understood his fear. They were worried that revealing their origins might bring disaster to their sect.
