Volume 1 Chapter 18: Immortal World
Above the limit of the world's height, just a couple feet away, stood a purple-robed man. He simply observed the world through its membrane as he leisurely moved his hand.
"Where did those guys go? Did they play around again instead of doing their responsibilities?"
His eyes are void, and his gait is something otherworldly. However, when the man's hand tried to do something with the membrane, a supreme pressure descended from the world.
The purple-robed man widened his eyes and tried to pull back. However, the figure was too overwhelming. Too fast!
In a billion billionth of a blink of an eye, Fang Zhaoge indifferently appeared as he looked up to the purple-robed man contemptuously.
"Another shameless creep? What are you trying to do here? State it with a statement or else watch how I pull your spine from your ass!"
The purple-robed man turned pale. He tried to move his hand, but it bore no result! He was stuck as if he was covered by cement!
"W-Wait! Listen to my explanation! I just went around to check the vicinity! I don't have any intention, I promise!"
Fang Zhaoge's mouth twitched.
"Who the f*ck would believe that?"
The purple-robed man was desperate. He was also shocked. A mere world actually contained a being that could suppress him, an Immortal!
Just what sort of monster did they provoke now? The purple-robed man smiled wryly.
"Give me a chance! I'll explain everything to you!"
After a consensus, the purple-robed man was pale and looked like a beggar. His body was also heavily restrained by Fang Zhaoge's pressure. It doesn't seem like the process of consensus was smooth…
"So, why don't you talk?"
Fang Zhaoge was still full of disdain. Wouldn't he be the one who has to kneel if he was any weaker? He might be even directly killed.
He already expected long ago that those forces would definitely send another batch of reinforcements. He knew that his master was a legendary figure even in the Immortal World, so anything related to him would definitely draw interest from those guys.
There's a reason why he furiously increased his proficiency in his two main combat techniques. He was preparing for the worst.
Since that was the case, why would he show mercy to these shameless Immortals?
Seeing the eyes full of disdain, the purple-robed man wanted to rage and show him who's the boss. But when they turned cold, he submissively lowered his head as cold sweats dripped from his chin.
What a joke! Is he even qualified to stand before this being? Who could attain the power beyond a Heaven Immortal expert as a mortal?
The purple-robed man shuddered again. He's full of despair. What if this man ascended to the Immortal World? Just how powerful he would be?
If he told his affiliation, wouldn't his sect be utterly exterminated?
It's all because of that idiotic young master who can't see that he's not qualified to compete against Li Tianwen! Not to mention snatching the legendary man's woman! The patriarch was also a f*cking coward who couldn't do sh*t to his donkey he called his son!!!
'F*ck that young master who covets the Holy Maiden! F*ck your dad! F*ck your grandpa! F*ck your eight hundred eighty eight generations!!!'
After a series of cursing, the purple-robed man simply let the pressure dawned on him and fell. He looked to the man who was full of indifferent and said,
"Esteemed Being, I-I came from one of the regions in the Immortal World, the Sky Mending Range. It was where my sect, the Blue Moon Sect, resided. I was just following orders from my superior! Esteemed Being, please show mercy!"
As the purple-robed man was anxiously rolling on the ground like a ragdoll, Fang Zhaoge thoughtfully looked at him. So it's the Blue Moon Sect, the one that was supposed to instigate a war against the Scorching Sun Sect with the help of the Demon Extermination Hall.
But it seems like the ones he exterminated were only three, and they came from the Pi Xiu clan, the Poisonous Gu Sect, and the Thunderborn Mountain.
That means the smart ones were the Star Institution, the Demon Extermination Hall and the Blue Moon Sect.
Realizing this, Fang Zhaoge revealed a strange expression. Although the two forced were tactful this time around, he still had some doubts.
But the main point was, the Blue Moon Sect had decisively retreated.
He looked at the miserable purple-robed man. Since that was the case, what the f*ck are you here for?
"They already left long ago. Apparently, they realized there's something wrong and left before the decisive battle."
Fang Zhaoge was relaxed as he told the truth. Although he was arrogant, why would he mindlessly provoke a force from the Immortal World? It was also to show that he's tactful and creates an image of a normal despicable cultivator who feared the strong for those forces.
When he was sure he was invincible, then… heh.
The purple-robed man was shaken. So those guys already retreated. They're indeed smart, they're also f*cking donkeys to not tell him, the one responsible for the success of the mission, the existence of such an Exalted Being!
The purple-robed man cursed many times that if the curses came to reality, the ones that were cursed would probably die a million times…
"I-If that was the case, please pardon me for my audacious conduct, Esteemed Being! I'll be taking my leave now!"
Against his poor, untouched heart, the purple-robed man threw out his spatial storage ring to Fang Zhaoge before tearfully rolled away from the world.
Even Fang Zhaoge was feeling bad. The amount of sacrifice for that man to suffer such a humiliation…
The man was also quite good! Fang Zhaoge smiled dazzlingly. He curiously looked at the ring as he tried to open it. However, whatever he tried doesn't seem to work.
"Don't tell me I have to use divinity?"
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. Fang Zhaoge smiled wryly as he looked at it. So he needs to attain divinity first before he can open it?
Although his strength was comparable to billions of divinity, in the end, it's still combat strength. He has no true divinity, only the strength comparable to attaining divinity.
"I need Senior Sister's help, it seems."
After circling the whole world a few times to ensure its safety, Fang Zhaoge descended on the Sword Peak, where Li Mengzhi was practicing Eight Slashes Severing a Thousand Seas.
Her movements are elegant and also cold! Decisive and objective. Fang Zhaoge silently inspected her with a nod. It's just that her mass was too big, and they kept moving around as she moved…
He means nothing. That's the truth! He thoughtfully cupped his chin. Although the sight was gorgeous, maybe he should tell her to use bindings next time. Those things could hinder her movements, speaking objectively.
Fang Zhaoge coughed out when her eyes turned to him. Li Mengzhi smirked as she stretched her arms.
"You like what you see, Junior Brother?"
"Absolutely. However, Senior Sister, why don't you consider bindings? Those masses of yours could hinder your movements, you know?"
Fang Zhaoge looked at her seriously. Even if he liked the view, he liked it more if she could survive in battles! Li Mengzhi is Li Tianwen's daughter, so that makes her his Little Mistress!
Li Mengzhi looked at him touchingly. Turns out, her Junior Brother considered such a possibility for her.
"Don't worry. I'm at home right now. If I go out, I'll definitely use bindings."
She answered softly. She's not stupid. This Junior Brother didn't like it if others were staring. Li Mengzhi giggled inwardly. This Junior Brother is really cute!
As for Fang Zhaoge, his thoughts were filled with all of the possibilities that could be in the ring. Perhaps there would be a treasure? Or some magical pills?
He turned to Li Mengzhi, who smiled to herself and asked decisively, "Senior Sister, I caught an immortal before. He gave me his spatial ring, could you open it with your divinity?"
"Hm? A spatial ring?"
Li Mengzhi leaned over in interest. She grasped the ring and blinked her watery eyes, "Eh? Blue Moon Sect? You caught a Heaven Immortal expert from the Blue Moon Sect?"
"How did you know he was a Heaven Immortal expert?"
Fang Zhaoge scratched his head. Even he didn't know the purple-robed man's realm. Li Mengzhi's mouth twitched. Of course you didn't, all you do is beat people up to the ground.
"In the Immortal World, it's common sense to perceive an expert belonging by its stripes. You see the stripes at the circular of the ring? There are 4, which is equivalent to a Heaven Immortal expert! As for the affiliation, just the color and the signature divinity are enough. However, as you do not have divinity yet, you couldn't sense it yet. Hence, your confusion."
"Of course, you also have to know the prominent sects and forces that deserve to have their own signature divinity."
A long, intricate yet clear explanation with Li Mengzhi's clear, smooth tone makes it easier for him to understand. Fang Zhaoge nodded, instantaneously perceiving every word she said. However, a matter drew his interest.
"Senior Sister, how's the cultivation system in the Immortal World?"
Noticing the interest and curiosity from Fang Zhaoge, Li Mengzhi thought of something and she smiled wryly.
"It's actually the same as us. They just have additional realms above the King God realm. However, in the Immortal World, mortals do exist, and they are treated like ants. I know you thought it was no difference in this mortal world, but no, the difference was immense, too immense."
"If mortals in the mortal world have governors that are cultivators above them, and were under the jurisdiction of certain forces, in the Immortal World, they were truly like animals. Immortals are indifferent, they no longer heed the morals and treat everything as 'fated' as long as it has nothing to do with them. They treat naturality like a code, saying that if they have no fate, then what's the point of taking the mortals under them?"
"They no longer treated themselves as humans, but as gods. Hence, they are indifferent towards mortals! It's because if one was born from immortal parents, they will be born as a Pseudo Immortal cultivator! That's why they considered mortals as people under them, since they are immortals since they were born. And it's true! No one could prove that mortals could overcome the immortals except if they become immortals themselves!"
"That's why Junior Brother, you… you are incredible. You are fantastical, a never-seen-before prodigy!"
"It's also why my father brought me to the mortal world with my mother. Because he refused to bend to such a ridiculous custom… And why he, who has such a ridiculous standard, was willing to accept you as his only disciple!"
Fang Zhaoge froze like a statue as he listened to Li Mengzhi. He also looked up to the sky, where the membrane of the world blocks all the interferences of the outside world to protect its inhabitants.
The Immortal World, the world cultivators yearn for… it's actually a world devoid of humanity and was filled with these immortals yapping about naturality, being gods and fate?
"Man…"
Fang Zhaoge covered his face with his hands, and Li Mengzhi sighed. Just what in the actual fu–
