Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 516: Holding Back Big Moves?

For the next six months, Fang Chen and his group didn't encounter any attacks from Golden Core Realm cultivators. It seemed that after the fall of those three Immortal Seedlings, Heavenly King Zhen’s Manor had given up on pursuing Fairy Yu. However, Fang Chen didn't dare to let his guard down. How could such a force give up on revenge just because a few Immortal Seedlings had perished.

Wouldn't their reputation be tarnished if they let them be just like that?

What this period of silence might suggest was that the enemy was preparing to make a big, decisive attack.

Apart from that, he had to keep his eyes open against any retaliation from the Immortal Giant Sect, Innate Dao Sect, and Great Expansion Dao Gate. Each of these major sects had lost an Immortal Seedling, and their losses were much greater than Heavenly King Zhen Manor's, considering that Gai Wu hadn't been an Immortal Seedling.

"Lord Fang, we'll reach the teleportation formation in half a day. By using it, we can enter the territory of the Immortal Dynasty Holy Land," Qinghu's ruler said as she surveyed the surroundings with a hint of joy on her face.

As long as they passed through that teleportation formation, they would soon reach their destination.

"I remember you said that a major sect controls this teleportation formation?" said Fang Chen.

The Qinghu ruler nodded slightly.

Fairy Yu hesitated. "Lord Fang, why don't we take a different route?"

Fang Chen smiled, "It's alright, we might as well take a look. If there were any Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who dared to attack us, they would have done so long ago. Why wait until today?"

"That's true," muttered Fairy Yu, feeling puzzled.

Half a day later, they arrived at a massive city, similar in scale to the former Azure Cloud Empire. The only difference was the cultivators in this area.

Qi Refining Realm cultivators were everywhere, and there were quite a few Foundation Building and Golden Core cultivators as well. Occasionally, one would even catch a glimpse of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Mortals still made up the majority of the population. However, unlike other places, the mortals here didn’t find cultivators exactly mysterious.

As soon as Fang Chen and company entered the city, they felt many Golden Core Realm cultivators secretly sweep them with their eyes. The Qinghu Empire’s ruler and the others were a bit nervous, but Fang Chen and Fairy Yu remained calm, not paying much attention to these prying eyes.

Nearby, a Golden Core Realm cultivator with a clasped fist respectfully reported to a young man in a purple robe, "Sir, that is indeed Fairy Yu and that sword cultivator of unknown origin. The Void Immortal Sword Sect has denied that this sword cultivator is their disciple."

The purple-robed youth's gaze shifted back and forth between Fang Chen and Fairy Yu. Furrowing his brow, he murmured to himself, "I can't see through this person's cultivation. He should be hiding an aura-concealing treasure."

After pausing for a moment, he took out a bronze mirror and aimed it at Fang Chen. However, the mirror didn't reveal anything.

To the purple-robed youth, this lack of reaction indicated that Fang Chen was not registered with any major sect in the Central Continent Empire.

There was another Golden Core Realm with them whose eyes were dark and sinister. He interjected, "Sir, this is a rare opportunity. Why don't we try to keep them here?

The purple-robed youth glanced at him and said calmly, "I can't make a move on them because of the restriction against Nascent Soul cultivators making a move. As for you, can you defeat Immortal Seedlings? They've already killed three Immortal Seedlings. Going up against them is inviting your own death."

The Golden Core Realm cultivator felt a bit embarrassed. Although they were at the grand completion stage of the Golden Core realm, they were well aware that they were far from being able to match Immortal Seedlings.

The purple-robed youth smiled faintly and said, “This matter is no longer just between our manor and the Void Immortal Sword Sect. The Immortal Giant Sect, Innate Dao Sect, and Great Expansion Dao Gate have all entered this quagmire.

“I received news a few days ago that the crown prince has returned from the Giant Antler Empire and is heading toward the Immortal Dynasty Holy Land. Second Miss has also left the Celestial Dome and is rushing there as well. They are also Immortal Seedlings. With these two intervening, everyone will have to give some face. By then, Immortal Seedlings from many sects will be gathered there. We just need them to fall into the trap.”

The Golden Core Realm cultivators took sharp breaths. They were just the lowest-level celestial soldiers of the manor, so naturally, they didn't have access to such news. The thought of Gai Hong and Gai Yunuo coming forward made their emotions surge, and they couldn't wait to rush to the Immortal Dynasty Holy Land.

"Are you sure they are heading to the Immortal Dynasty Holy Land? Are they going to seek help from the Ning Family? I heard only Ning Tieniu survived from the four Immortal Seedlings that had fought with them."

"They are mostly likely headed to the Greenwood Sect for the Vast Origin Fruit." the purple-robed youth said with a slight smile. "As long as Demoness Yu consumes this fruit, she can hide from karma, and the manor would have a hard time finding her. It would be akin to searching for a needle in the ocean."

The Golden Core Realm cultivators were enlightened. "I see, then we must not let them have their way."

The purple-robed youth smiled faintly. "Not to mention whether they can reach the Greenwood Sect, even if they do, how precious is the Vast Origin Fruit? Even if the Greenwood Sect doesn't care about offending the manor, they wouldn't simply hand over the Vast Origin Fruit to an outsider."

“They won't be achieving what they are setting on this trip for. If anything, a few more lonely tombstones would pop up in the Immortal Dynasty Holy Land."

Fang Chen listened quietly in soul form.

It seemed that the eldest son and second daughter of the Heavenly King Zhen were going to step forward for Gai Wu. The former was in the Fusion Realm, while the latter was in the Soul Splitting Realm. They were both in the Middle Three Realms.

However, it didn't matter how high their cultivations were; they couldn't take action personally. The problem lay in their network of relationships. If these two were once Immortal Seedlings who successfully treaded the Ancient Immortal Road, then they would undoubtedly have many matured Immortal Seedlings in their circle of friends.

If these people intervened, with their prestige, it wouldn't be difficult to call over a number of fresh Immortal Seedlings. If there were only seven or eight people, it wouldn't be much of a problem for Fang Chen

However, if there were dozens of them and they were armed with treasures and formations—not to mention that Heavenly King Zhen's celestial soldiers would be lending them a hand as well—they would pose a threat that couldn't be underestimated. Fortunately, he became aware of this beforehand and could prepare accordingly.

At the same time, he confirmed the effect of the Vast Origin Fruit too. It would be immensely helpful to Fairy Yu, so that was good news.

Before long, they arrived at the central area of the city, where a majestic teleportation formation caught their eyes. Around it were stationed a number of cultivators.

It went without saying that an owned teleportation formation this substantial would have a fee tied to it.

The Qinghu Ruler took the initiative to inquire and then returned to report, "Lord Fang, the fee is three hundred spirit stones per person. In addition, activating the teleportation formation requires five thousand spirit stones. If we split the cost, each person needs to contribute one thousand three hundred."

"Do you have enough spirit stones?" Fang Chen asked with a smile.

By now, Fang Chen’s wealth had reached a staggering 530,000 spirit stones. All of which were from those Golden Core Realm cultivators, especially those three Immortal Seedlings.

The Qinghu ruler nodded lightly. "I do."

Although she was only at the grand completion stage of Foundation Building Realm, she had once been the ruler of an empire, presiding over a vast territory. of the Qinghu Empire, controlling a vast territory. She had stashed quite a few low-grade spirit stones, so she could afford to pay the travel fee.

Just as everyone was about to fish out their part of the fee, they saw a purple-robed youth leading a group of Golden Core Realm cultivators approaching slowly. One of the elders watching over the teleportation formation brightened up and hurried over from the other side, bowing to the purple-robed youth with a smile. "Lord Zhao, why do you have the leisure to personally lead a group for patrol today?"

The purple-robed youth smiled faintly and pointed at Fang Chen and Fairy Yu. "Elder Gu, you wouldn't fail to recognize these two, would you?"

Curious, the elder turned to the two. After a moment, he smiled at the purple-robed youth and replied, "Of course I recognize them. However, the Point Star Gate has always maintained neutrality and avoids causing harm easily. If it's business that comes to our door, we have no reason to refuse."

Obviously, the elder had long noticed the identities of Fang Chen and Fairy Yu. He only showed up when the purple-robed youth appeared, and now, his words carried a hint of warning, clearly warning the purple-robed youth.
