Chapter 755: Chapter 754: No Need to Mind Him

In the Pure Sky, at the Golden Que Cloud Palace, a gathering of immortals is bustling about, each showing their celestial arts, all in preparation to celebrate the triumphant return of the Respected God-hidden, an air of harmony pervades the place.

“Crossing Business Envoy— no, Crossing Business Immortal Monarch, I failed to recognize the importance of your stature in the past and was disrespectful to you without choosing my words wisely.”

The Honghu Messenger kept kowtowing persistently, as if he wouldn’t stop unless the Crossing Business Immortal Monarch forgave him.

Sitting on the imperial throne, the Crossing Business Immortal Monarch raised his eyelids lazily, just clutching his arms. He saw that the one paying homage was his old rival, the Honghu Messenger, and waved his hand: “Ah, it’s Honghu, rise, I am not of a petty nature. Let bygones be bygones.”

“Summon a seat.”

“I dare not, I dare not.” The Honghu Messenger hurriedly thanked the Crossing Business Immortal Monarch for not bearing grudges.

Golden Immortals refer to him as “Immortal Monarch”. The Crossing Business Envoy had already advanced to become a Golden Immortal a long time ago, but he had kept his capabilities hidden, not making them known to the world.

Now that he has gained the confidence of the Respected God-hidden, he has sky-rocketed in status, going from the least experienced golden immortal to the deputy Immortal Emperor in one leap.

“If it weren’t for Immortal Emperor Jiang Li following the Supreme to other worlds, if the Ancestor hadn’t gone to the Underworld for our expedition, securing a bright future for us, I wouldn’t have had the chance to be this deputy Immortal Emperor. It’s the Supreme’s favor.” The Crossing Business Immortal Monarch spoke humbly; he would never spill out all his words, leaving room for himself to retreat.

The Crossing Business Immortal Monarch shuddered when he thought of the events of a year ago.

He had come close to dying.

While the Respected God-hidden did indeed gain the treasured Jiang Li, the fact that Jiang Li was able to grow meant that his failure to report on the Nine Provinces issue caused the Respected God-hidden to lose control over the Ten Thousand Realms.

The Respected God-hidden has a strong desire for control. He does not like such occurrences.

Luckily, the Crossing Business Immortal Monarch was constantly paying attention to the Observer civilization. He came to know about the existence of the Black Tide. From the Buddha’s teachings, he inferred the concept of a Parallel World.

He boldly hypothesized that the Respected God-hidden could use Jiang Li to venture into other worlds and enhance his power.

The Crossing Business Immortal Monarch was uncertain of whether such a thing could occur, but it was his only chance to survive, and he had to grasp it at all possible costs.

Fortunately, he won the gamble. The Respected God-hidden benefitted greatly from this.

Since then, the Crossing Business Immortal Monarch’s career has soared, becoming the foremost among Golden Immortals.

Although his cultivation was the weakest among the Golden Immortals, his power was unmatched among them.

The Buddha and the Ru Saint were still fighting in the Daluo Sky, the Ancestor had gone to the Underworld, Immortal Emperor Jiang Li ventured into the Parallel World. The Immortal Realm was his alone which naturally made him the acting Immortal Emperor. Even his superior, Minghuo Immortal Monarch, had to bow down and serve him.

The Respected God-hidden also promised him that after the establishment of the new world, he would put the Demon Race and the Human Race on an equal footing and let him be the Demon Emperor.

The future was bright.

“Crossing Business Immortal Monarch, there’s something I don’t understand. Since I have taken over the world you were in charge of, why did you emphasize not to touch the Nine Provinces first?” the Honghu Messenger asked.

The Crossing Business Immortal Monarch shook his head: “The Nine Provinces are my pain point, the first I want to destroy. But the Nine Provinces are also where Immortal Emperor Jiang Li ascended, and when the Supreme proposed to destroy the Nine Provinces to cut off Immortal Emperor Jiang’s Red Dust ties, the eyes of Immortal Emperor Jiang turned red. The Supreme feared that Immortal Emperor Jiang would lose control and promised to be the last to destroy the Nine Provinces.”

“I see, thank you, Crossing Business Immortal Monarch for solving my doubts.” The Honghu Messenger stepped back.

A portal to the Parallel World appeared, and a great and holy breath emanated from the other end.

“We pay our respects to the Supreme, to the Immortal Emperor.” The group of immortals interrupted their celestial arts, and the Crossing Business Immortal Monarch came down from the throne to prostrate himself to the Respected God-hidden and Jiang Li.

The crowd of immortals shouted ‘Eternity’, creating a grand scene that stirred one’s heart.

The Crossing Business Envoy marveled secretly. Ever since the Supreme absorbed the first Heavenly Dao’s power, his aura has become increasingly elusive, unreachable, able to purify the soul, as if he was about to transcend all.

The Respected God-hidden has reached a height that he cannot comprehend. This height lacks theoretical references, lacks precedents, and is overwhelmingly powerful.

Only such power can consecutively defeat the Heavenly Dao of other worlds.

The immortals were filled with pride, their Heavenly Dao was the best in the world.

Respected God-hidden led the idler, Jiang Li, leisurely back to their original world, looking at the preparations for the celebration, he nodded approvingly.

This Du Ye was more capable than the previous Immortal Emperor.

“I have destroyed 30% of the Heavenly Dao, tripling my strength.”

“Congratulations, Respected One!” The crowd of immortals bowed again.

Respected God-hidden seated himself on the emperor’s throne, granting Jiang Li the seat next to him: “Let the banquet begin.”

Inside the Golden Que Cloud Palace, the atmosphere was lively and harmonious. If one could ignore that these immortals held the power over hundreds of worlds in their hands, and that they were, in fact, the most powerful killers, then the grand banquet at this moment would match any mortal tale of the Immortal Realm—relations are harmonious, unrestricted, carefree, free from the strife for power, beyond the three realms, not subject to the five elements.

A Heavenly Immortal kneeled on the ground, reporting to Respected God-hidden: “Respected One, Lord Du Ye has been worried that Jiuzhou could become a variable, and he has constantly instructed me to observe the state of Jiuzhou with Heavenly Vision and Heavenly Hearing. Just now, for some unknown reason, the momentum of Bai Hongtu, the acting Human Emperor of Jiuzhou, surged and reached a new realm, echoing throughout Jiuzhou. It’s estimated to be akin to that of an Earth Immortal.”

Respected God-hidden waved his hand dismissively: “He is only an Earth Immortal; there’s no need to concern ourselves with him.”

“Yes.”

Respected God-hidden could figure out with just a moment’s thought that Bai Hongtu must have reached the Mahayana Realm.

So what? The Mahayana Realm required time to mature. Now, there was no time for a newly reached Mahayana Realm to grow. Even if he did not understand how to break through the Mahayana Realm, it wouldn’t matter. Once he created a new world, he would define the Transcendance Tribulation Stage to be followed by the Mahayana Realm, and then Immortality. He’d see what waves this threshold could make.

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Li was pleased and felt happy for Bai Hongtu.

Suddenly, the Immortal Realm trembled, the crowd of immortals swaying to and fro, even the emperor’s throne shook.

“It’s the Immortal Ascension Ladder! Someone has used the Immortal Ascension Ladder to connect to the Immortal Realm!”

“That’s impossible, the connection of the Immortal Ascension Ladder to the Immortal Realm shouldn’t cause such a strong reaction!”

“I’ve read in ancient books that when the first Immortal Ascension Ladder was created, it was unstable. When connected to the Immortal Realm, it caused the entire realm to tremble, just like what’s happening now!”

Respected God-hidden slowly stood, staring in a particular direction.

He sensed a person using the Immortal Ascension Ladder to arrive at the Immortal Realm. This person walked with steady and forceful steps, each one seeming to topple the whole world; the tremors in the Immortal Realm were caused by this.

A slight smile crossed Respected God-hidden’s face. There was no doubt about the strength of the newcomer. If it had been the former him, he would have studiously avoided such a formidable opponent.

But now… This was like walking into a trap.

Thump, thump, the footsteps drew nearer to the Golden Que Cloud Palace.

The footsteps were quiet, but they drowned out all other sounds, leaving the entire Golden Que Cloud Palace in silence, all waiting for the arrival of the person creating those footsteps.

A figure cut through the immortal fog, standing in front of the Golden Que Cloud Palace. This man was dressed in imperial robes, brazen and untamed, full of self-confidence, it was him that Respected God-hidden had sensed.

“He looks just like Jiang Li, quite interesting…”

Thump, thump.

No sooner had Respected God-hidden opened his mouth to speak, a different set of footsteps interrupted him.

Respected God-hidden was taken by surprise. He had only sensed one person, where did this second individual come from?

A second figure cut through the immortal fog and arrived in front of the Golden Que Cloud Palace. He looked almost identical to the first figure, but their auras were completely different. The newcomer was as ordinary as an average person who’d accidentally wandered into the Immortal Realm.

The crowd of immortals had no idea who was stronger between Jiang Li and the first emperor. Judging from their momentum, the first emperor was much stronger than Jiang Li.
