Chapter 204: Test
Editor: Atlas Studios
Ren Baoqi’s identity had clearly increased the difficulty of Qi Ming disguising himself. However, it was also because of his identity that Qi Ming could openly enter the Immortal King grotto-heaven.
All that could be said was…
Danger and opportunity coexisted.
He flew across more than half of the Central World.
The Sacred Land of the Immortal Race, Myriad Immortal Mountain, was located in the center of the Central World. Moreover, it was an immortal holy land formed by immortal mountains with the Central Divine Mountain as the core.
It was not true that there were 10,000 immortal mountains.
To be precise, only Immortal Kings were qualified to establish an immortal mountain around the Central Divine Mountain. The entire Immortal Race had a total of 108 immortal mountains, which meant that there were 108 Immortal Kings.
Existences below the Immortal King realm could only establish an Immortal City.
The immortal mountain was floating in the air, and the immortal city was sitting on the ground.
On the ground around the Central Divine Mountain, there were also immortal cities.
In every immortal city, a large number of immortals and members of the other five races lived there. The status of the other five races in the Central World was very low, and it was quite difficult for them to survive. They could only help the immortals and become their subordinates.
Elsewhere, as long as one was strong enough, one could obtain a sufficient status. It was impossible in the Central World because no matter how strong one was, could one be stronger than the immortals? Could one be stronger than the City Lord? Could one defeat an Immortal King?
Clearly not.
The status of the five races in the Central World was suppressed extremely low.
The Immortal Race was the ruler.
In the Immortal Race, strength was respected.
In the Central World, a total of 129,600 Immortal Cities were established.
Every City Lord who was able to establish an Immortal City in the Central World had at least broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence realm with their cultivation and strength.
“129,600 Immortal Cities.” Qi Ming pondered for a moment and said, “Therefore, the Immortal Race has at least 129,600 existences at the Tribulation Transcendence realm. This is only on the surface.”
“Ren Baoqi’s parents are both the masters of Immortal City and are also existences at the Tribulation Transcendence realm. I don’t know the exact cultivation level for the time being, and Ren Baoqi doesn’t know either.” Qi Ming thought.
Qi Ming had already arrived at the Immortal Race’s Holy Land. When he approached, an invisible force and will swept across Qi Ming’s entire body, but he did not sense anything strange.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
Not long after, he arrived in front of the Exquisite Immortal Mountain. From afar, he could already see the immortal mountain standing in the clouds and astral qi. Clouds and fog surrounded it, and immortal qi surrounded it, like a paradise.
The immortal mountain was not majestic or huge, but it contained a world inside through the Dao of Space.
Ren Baoqi was a legacy disciple of Immortal King Linglong. His status was relatively high in the Exquisite Immortal Mountain. Therefore, he naturally had an independent cave abode in the mountain.
“Greetings, Legacy Disciple Ren.”
“Greetings, Legacy Disciple Ren…”
“Legacy Disciple Ren, you’re back…”
“…”
Qi Ming stepped foot on the Exquisite Immortal Mountain. There were many immortal disciples around. When they saw Qi Ming, they greeted him one after another, their voices very respectful.
Ren Baoqi’s status and identity were indeed quite high.
According to Ren Baoqi’s usual habits and personality, Qi Ming ignored the surrounding immortal disciples who greeted him as if he did not see or hear them.
That’s right.
This was Ren Baoqi’s personality and performance. Towards those existences with low aptitude and no future to speak of, he would not waste any time or expression on them.
In fact…
He felt that talking to them was wasting his time.
“Have you heard? Legacy Disciple Ren’s mission failed this time. He messed up the matter Immortal King Linglong handed to him. The other four Immortal King Legacy Disciples who went with him died, and only he survived.”
“Of course I know. This matter has already spread recently.”
“He failed, but Legacy Disciple Ren was not punished us at all.”
“That can’t be helped. He’s a second generation immortal after all.”
“We can’t compare to him at all…”
“…”
After Qi Ming left, these immortal disciples discussed animatedly. In their words, they revealed their envy, jealousy, and disgust for Ren Baoqi.
It was indeed very difficult for these immortal disciples not to hate Ren Baoqi’s personality and performance.
At this moment, Qi Ming saw two familiar figures in front of Ren Baoqi’s cave abode.
They were Ren Baoqi’s parents.
Qi Ming was shocked.
“Son.”
Qi Ming had just arrived when Ren Baoqi’s mother, Yue Yiling, turned around. She first glanced at Qi Ming. In her beautiful eyes, a strange light rune flashed.
The next moment, Yue Yiling rushed towards Qi Ming. Under his awkward and shy gaze, she hugged him tightly and squeezed him into her arms.
Of course, Qi Ming acted according to Ren Baoqi’s personality.
He felt as if his entire face was buried in the grand mountains. When he touched the delicate pink skin, it was as if he was suffocating.
His nose was filled with a refreshing fragrance.
Good heavens.
This could suffocate a person to death.
Ren Baoqi’s mother, Yue Yiling, was indeed a beautiful woman. She was elegant and had an extraordinary bearing. She was peerlessly beautiful, and her figure was even more fiery and had a pair of magnificent peaks.
Qi Ming already had a deep understanding of it.
“Ah…” Yue Yiling sighed, “My poor son, I was so worried. How could Immortal King Linglong let you do such a dangerous thing?”
“Fortunately, you are fine. Otherwise, how can I continue to live…”
“Cough cough…”
Ren Baoqi’s father, Ren Yinfang, stood at the side and coughed lightly, “Be careful of what you say. If Immortal King Linglong sees this, we will be scolded.”
“Hmph.” Yue Yiling glared at Ren Yinfang, “What’s wrong? Immortal King Linglong let my son go on such a dangerous mission and almost failed to return. Can’t I say something?”
“Ren Yinfang.” Yue Yiling shouted, “You’re too cowardly.”
“Ling’er, what are you saying…” Ren Yinfang was speechless.
At this moment, a figure landed out of thin air. White light flashed as the aura of the Dao of Heaven Secrets surged, turning into a blurry fog that had an invisible pressure.
“Greetings, Immortal King Linglong!”
Ren Yinfang and Yue Yiling’s pupils constricted, and shock appeared on their faces. Ren Yinfang immediately knelt on one knee, and Yue Yiling also let go of Qi Ming and pulled his right hand to kneel down together.
“You want to blame me?” Immortal King Linglong was a ruddy and slightly plump old man. He was dressed in a green robe and was indeed as otherworldly as an immortal.
“We… We don’t dare…” Ren Yinfang said, “Yue Yiling is only worried about our son’s safety, that’s why she said these words. I hope Immortal King Linglong can forgive her.”
“I know you wouldn’t dare to.” Immortal King Linglong said, “Ren Baoqi is my legacy disciple. If the two of you don’t believe me, you shouldn’t have sent him to the Exquisite Immortal Mountain back then.”
Yue Yiling did not speak either.
“The two of you can go back.” Immortal King Linglong waved his hand.
“Yes.” Ren Yin stood up and pulled Yue Yiling up, “Let’s go.”
“Son.” Yue Yiling held Qi Ming’s hand tightly and was very reluctant, “Remember to come to the Moon Immortal City to find us. Remember to protect yourself. Nothing is more important than your life.”
Qi Ming nodded and looked slightly cold.
“Let’s go.” Ren Yinfang said.
Ren Baoqi’s parents left.
“Greetings, Master.” Qi Ming bowed as he said with anger, “I failed to complete Master’s request. I… I…”
“Get up and talk.”
Immortal King Linglong waved his right hand, and an invisible force acted on Qi Ming’s body, causing him to involuntarily stand up.
“The responsibility for this mission’s failure is not on you. I underestimated Qi Ming’s methods and abilities. If I knew that his abilities had reached this level, I wouldn’t have sent you over. At the very least, I would have sent a City Lord.”
“In the next period of time, cultivate well in seclusion and make sufficient preparations to head to the Immortal King grotto-heaven. This is the most important thing.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“As for the other four Immortal Kings, I’ll help you deal with them. The fault won’t fall on you.”
Immortal King Linglong continued, “No matter what, the legacy disciples of the Weapon Venerable Immortal King and the others are all dead, and only you are still alive. Indeed, the rumors during this period of time are quite harsh on you.”
“Disciple thanks Master.”
Qi Ming wanted to bow.
“You don’t have to kneel for no reason.” Immortal King Linglong waved his right hand again, and another invisible force stopped Qi Ming, “You have to change your personality. Also, there are some things about you that needs to change. On the path of immortal cultivation, you have to abandon your inner demons and sharpen your heart. Don’t think that I don’t know what you’ve done.”
“Yes, Master.”
Immortal King Linglong nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he left and his figure disappeared into thin air without any signs.
“Huff…”
Qi Ming heaved a sigh of relief.
This conversation with Immortal King Linglong did not seem strange, but the latter had already probed him three times.
First, when Ren Yinfang and Yue Yiling were still around, he used divine power spells to spy on Qi Ming. After sending them away, he forcefully held Qi Ming up with his Dharmic powers. This was also a test.
Thirdly, Immortal King Linglong stopped Qi Ming from kneeling and bowing. This was the last time he combined spells and divine powers to probe. Although it was extremely obscure, Qi Ming still sensed it.
In the past, Ren Baoqi respected Immortal King Linglong from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, every time he saw him, he would kneel when his mood fluctuated.
That was why Immortal King Linglong said that it was not good for Ren Baoqi to kneel for no reason.
Immortal King Linglong had never stopped Ren Baoqi from kneeling in the past. This was the first time he did so. This meant that Immortal King Linglong was probing Qi Ming.
Qi Ming’s Physical Transmutation divine power technique was indeed too heaven-defying. Coupled with the fact that he had used other divine power techniques, he really hid the truth from Immortal King Linglong.
