Chapter 708: The Immortal Emperors Treasure (1/2)

As soon as the two unholy daredevils—Chen Xiao and Qing Buyi—returned to the world of immortals, they severed their cultivation with the intention of attaining the void realm. Neither of these two unruly hooligans cared about what was happening to their clans.

Meanwhile, crown prince Zhao Shenguan happily left for Xiankan and requested to ascend to the throne. No one paid heed as to whether or not he actually succeeded.

……

Lu Yun gazed upon Qing Yu with an ardent gaze, causing her to duck her head in embarrassment.

“Let’s become dao partners!” She suddenly looked up directly at him.

“Yes!” Momentarily stupefied, Lu Yun quickly nodded emphatically.

To become dao partners in the world of immortals was equivalent to getting married in the world of mortals. Lu Yun’s heart pounded, then with one swift kick, he punted himself—er… his replica off into the distance.

“If anyone’s going to become dao partners, it should be the original person!” Lu Yun glared at his replica and started to feel inexplicably jealous of himself.

Qing Yu rolled her eyes at both of them.

“Milord, you can’t become dao partners yet!” Ge Long came charging out of hell. With a wave of his hand, the four swords that’d merged with the gates returned to their resting places in the evil coffins and made their way back to the netherworld.

“Milord, the kingdom of hell has just evolved. If you form a dao bond now, the creation of the heavenly palace world will be halted!” The old servant furtively scanned the surroundings before continuing in a cautious tone, “If that happens, the heavenly palace world will be subjugated to the kingdom. You wouldn’t want milady’s accomplishments to be limited, would you, milord?”

Upon hearing that, Lu Yun turned and looked hesitantly at Qing Yu.

“Whatever you say,” she responded with a smile. Nothing else mattered to her now.

“Alright, then let’s wait until you ascend to immortality,” Lu Yun laughed heartily. “We shall join as dao partners once your heavenly palace matures into a world!”

There was still more than a month's time until Qing Yu’s ascension. That amount of time would pass by in the blink of an eye, and Lu Yun wasn’t in a hurry either. After her ascension to immortality, he would be able to go about his business uninhibited and truly unleash his great ambitions.

While his hell was evolved from that of human dao, the true world of the heavenly palace had been born from the Dao Flower. It was the very opposite of Lu Yun’s kingdom in hell.

“Milord, I believe it would be best if you paid a visit to the central world before the mistress ascends to immortality. You should take the central world and have it merge with the heavenly palace,” Ge Long suggested in a grave manner.

“The central world?” Lu Yun blinked. Naturally, he knew of its location. The Sovereign World established by the Sovereign Ranking Battles was also the central world, wherein lay buried countless ancient immortals and their teachings and legacies.

He’d always wanted to go there again, but the proper opportunity had never arisen. Furthermore, the gate to the central world was through Destiny City.

After the first Sovereign Rankings held in Destiny City two years ago, the organizers had hosted a second one. A great number of talented immortals gathered once again in Destiny City, and geniuses sprang up one after another.

Unfortunately after that, the void that hosted the battles and contained the Sovereign World never opened again.

Thankfully, this didn’t pose a problem for the cultivators and immortals of the world. Their mentalities had long been corrected and set on the right path. The Sovereign Ranking Battles existed for the sake of mutual exchange and progression, not for fighting over ancient legacies and inheritance.

“That’s right, let’s pay a visit to the central world!”

“The central world is the heart of the world of immortals,” Ge Long explained. “It once housed the primordial immortal court and was also the final battleground of the ancient war one hundred thousand years ago. Therefore, it suffered the most severe destruction and has almost become a dead world where the immortal dao cannot manifest.”
