Xu Changqing picked up the crystal, gazing at the distorted symbol constructed of flesh and blood within it.

“The crystal is a seal… What’s inside, it seems to be…” Su Lu expressed with a hint of surprise: “Break open a slither of the crystal, let out a faint breath and observe…”

“Alright!”

With a minor exertion of his fingers, Xu Changqing created a split on the surface of the crystal, and a thread of energy escaped.

“This… It seems like the aura of the Immortal realm.” @@novelbin@@

Xu Changqing’s eyes flickered with realization.

...

In the ruins of Xing Tian, he had experienced the passages between worlds. The sense of this sealed object was a lot like that.

“Little Qingzi, you’re in luck, this indeed is an Immortal Realm Symbol Summoning!”

Sensing the information, Su Lu chuckled: “Possess this, and you will have a chance to ascend! So that’s why Linfeng Immortal didn’t smuggle himself into the Immortal realm, he had this!”

“As I thought…”

Xu Changqing reigned in his excitement instantly.

He carefully applied a spell, adding another layer of seal to the crystal.

Su Lu could detect his emotional state from the faint tremble of his hand, and couldn’t help but chuckle quietly to himself.

He admired this determination for revenge.

After all, if Xu Changqing just chose to retire peacefully in this world, then Su Lu would feel much disappointed.

On the contrary, with his mind focused on this object, even without the Immortal Realm Symbol Summoning, Su Lu would still help him ascend to the Abyss.

…

In the examiner’s room,

An exam paper glowed faintly, and Xu Changqing climbed out of it.

He glanced around, seeing no signs of disturbance, and nodded in satisfaction.

Linfeng Immortal was still an Immortal after all, carefree and whimsical. Furthermore, his disappearance was short, people outside had not noticed any abnormalities.

“The Great Luo Imperial Court, I still need to be cautious,”

Xu Changqing thought briefly, then pulled out a piece of human skin and put it on, transforming back into the appearance of Fang Yan.

Causing havoc in the state’s exams, and killing the chief examiner was no small matter.

Though he wasn’t afraid, he didn’t want to attract unnecessary trouble.

Not to mention, if the authorities can’t arrest him, they might go after his mountain village, even if the chance is slim.

“So… It’s better to make it an unsolvable case.”

Xu Changqing casually lit a fireball and threw it on the table.

Whoosh!

The fierce flame swallowed his original exam paper in an instant, then spread rapidly.

The flame wreaked havoc, climbing up along the wooden pillars and curtains, and soon engulfed the entire roof, thick black smoke billowed from the gaps in the windows.

“The place is on fire!”

“It’s on fire!”

Outside the exam room, an examiner witnessed this and was terrified.

Most ancient buildings were made of wood, the loss caused by a fire would be devastating.

Let alone, this was the Imperial Examination Hall! And there were so many exam papers!

“Quickly… bring water to put out the fire!”

“Wait a minute, where is the main examiner?”

The bailiffs and soldiers hastily fetched water to extinguish the flames, a few members of the Demon Bureau were perplexed.

The place that caught fire had to be where Linfeng Immortal was – was this some kind of joke?

As a legendary Immortal, he could extinguish the fire with a simple spell. Why would he let the fire spread?

“I fear… something’s amiss.”

“This is bad!”

They exchanged glances. Some rushed forward, intending to use spells to extinguish the fire, and some quietly retreated, preparing to inform the city’s Demon Bureau.

Just as they were about to take action,

Several characters shone brightly from the burning room, clearly visible.

“Coward?!” “Fool?!” “Idiot!?”

In the eyes of several cultivators, each of these characters seemed alive, transforming into tiny hands and feet, even emitting sibilant laughter.

“Don’t… Don’t come over!”

A Demon Bureau captain seemed to see something terrifying and lost his mind, scurrying outside on all fours.

Another cultivator was in a daze, utterly forgetting about putting out the fire, even when the flames reached his own robe, he seemed unaware.

“You guys…”

An examiner saw this scene and was left stunned.

Immediately after, he went pale and dashed out of the exam room.

Knowing that something terrifying had descended and even Linfeng Immortal couldn’t handle it, he, a mere mortal, decided it was best to dodge the bullet.

In this world, the more you stand out, the faster you die!

Those who survive are the shrewd ones, who knew how to choose.

The fire spread, the lack of effective rescue allowed the fire to destroy this section of the examination hall, and even spread to the Imperial Examination Hall.

This continuous building, built at a huge cost, was instantly turned into a fire dragon.

If the Imperial Court wanted to rebuild later, it may not even be able to afford it!

In such a catastrophe, no one noticed an elegant scholar dressed in green, slowly leaving the Imperial Examination Hall from another direction.

…

Outside Lingzhou City, in the barren hills.

Xu Changqing removed the hide from his body, casually tossed a flame onto it, utterly incinerating it.

This ‘Art of Skin Painting’ was also taught to him by his grandfather. They killed an utterly evil person, sealed their bloodline and soul in a layer of skin, and could use it to mask their own fate and aura.

Even methodologies such as divination would be misled.

Now, destroying it eliminates any future troubles and leaves no trace.

“My dear Grandfather…”

After finishing all this, Xu Changqing said: “I swallowed Linfeng Immortal, and obtained part of his memory. Shuangxuan Immortal has indeed gone to the Immortal realm, what should I do?”

“With the Immortal Realm Symbol Summoning, you can ascend at any time, but I suggest taking it slow.”

Su Lu’s voice came: “You should know, in the Immortal realm, your level of cultivation at most places you in the middle tier, which is quite unsafe. Better to upgrade to the sixth tier in this world first. In this world, your cultivation level is already considered top-notch, as long as you are careful and don’t purposely stumble into death traps, you’ll be safe.”

He paused, then added: “I know you are bent on revenge… but you have to preserve yourself first.”

“In the local mythology of this land, the Immortal realm is a place full of magical fruits, where everyone achieves immortality…why do you make it sound so dangerous?”

Xu Changqing stayed silent for a moment, then asked: “Could it be you were once a resident of the Immortal realm?”

“Haha…”

Su Lu laughed: “You figured it out… Do you remember our initial agreement? I help you become immortal, get your revenge… and in return, you help me ascend to the Immortal realm.”

He didn’t admit coming from the Abyss, but in Xu Changqing’s eyes, this was a kind of tacit understanding.

For some reason, he felt much relieved.

All along, the old man had been his mentor and trump card, yet he had no idea what the old man really wanted.

This ‘inequality’ was the root of fear.

But now, everything seemed clear, the other party also had a demand for him.

“Don’t worry, grandfather, I will definitely bring you to ascend to the Immortal realm.”

Xu Changqing promised.
