Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Insignificant_Part 1 Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Insignificant_Part 1 Li Fuqiang and Nan Bowan locked eyes, both recognizing the gravity reflected on each other’s faces.

Their breathing had become somewhat labored.

However, speculation, no matter how plausible, was just that—speculation.

Only with accurate verification would it become a fact they had to confront.

Therefore, initially, the high-ranking members of the Flame Dragon Organization like Li Fuqiang merely harbored some apprehension toward Zhu Yangyuan.

But after hearing what the other party said, it was no longer just apprehension.

More accurately, it was awe.

The shift in their attitudes stemmed not only from Zhu Yangyuan’s own strength but also from a concern over his identity.

Xu Fan, on the other hand, observed Zhu Yangyuan with great interest, yet he was not excited by the opportunity mentioned by the other.

In his eyes, the realm exhibited by Zhu Yangyuan was at most that of a Martial King, and he hadn’t even reached the latter stages of being a King, barely passable.

But there was more to this person than what Xu Fan could see at the surface.

Zhu Yangyuan subtly exerted a slight oppressive force toward Xu Fan, which was quite illogical.

Furthermore, Zhu Yangyuan’s aura seemed ordinary but was actually profound, different from any cultivator Xu Fan had encountered, both domestically and internationally, leaving Xu Fan slightly confounded and unable to discern the truth for a moment.

Xu Fan didn’t respond and waited for the other party to continue speaking.

Zhu Yangyuan slowly stroked his rough beard, his eyes, once narrowed with a gleam of sharpness, now opened slightly, and he spoke in an even tone, “Old man still has some discerning eyes.

Young friend Xu Fan, I take it you have just reached the Foundation Establishment, haven’t you?”

Xu Fan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, looking back at him, silently pondering, and thought to himself, “Indeed, there’s something odd!”

The cultivators of Sea Blue Star did not have the “Foundation Establishment” realm.

This was a unique realm for cultivators, and, more colloquially, it was called the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Therefore, almost all Ancient Martial Artists, even those from the Ancient Martial World, would find this realm unfamiliar and perplexing.

Just like Li Fuqiang and Nan Bowan, who were also showing expressions of bewilderment at the moment, obviously unclear about what Foundation Establishment meant.

The fact that Zhu Yangyuan could articulate Xu Fan’s true realm

indicated that he was no ordinary Ancient Martial Artist, and not even an Ancient Martial Artist at all.

He was more likely the sort of cultivator Li Fuqiang had mentioned before, who emerged from the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, which only opens its portal to Sea Blue Star once every 60 years.

“Interesting, I didn’t expect you to perceive the essence of it,”

A hint of surprise crossed Xu Fan’s face, pausing briefly before saying to Zhu Yangyuan, “So, you must be at least at the stage of condensing a Golden Core.”

At that, a faint self-satisfied expression on Zhu Yangyuan’s face turned into astonishment and the motion of stroking his beard involuntarily halted.

His eyes suddenly snapped open, and the murky look in them became bright and sharp, fixated on Xu Fan.

Listening to this inexplicable conversation, the surrounding crowd was entirely puzzled and clueless.

After that, Xu Fan and Zhu Yangyuan began to scrutinize each other, as if in a standoff of their auras.

The atmosphere remained tense for a good while before Zhu Yangyuan cracked a smile and said in a relaxed tone, “Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Formation are not something the average person would be privy to, yet you know of them.

Do you understand what that means?”

Finishing his words, his aura suddenly surged tumultuously, filled with the scrutinizing intent of someone superior, and he asked with a demanding tone, “Xu Fan, these are secrets, and the five sovereigns have even made rules about this.

Who told you, or how did you come to know?

Speak up now!”

As soon as he spoke, Li Fuqiang and Nan Bowan couldn’t help but show a change in their expressions.

As expected…

As expected, this man was from the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.

But the portal between the two realms hadn’t been opened yet.

Clearly, he was a Banished Immortal who had stayed on Sea Blue Star during a previous opening of the portal.

Although the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm was connected to Earth, the intervals were too long, occurring once every 60 years, and each time, it was open for only seven days.

The most they could do was to bring some promising youths who appeared during the opening of the passageway to The Immortal Realm to recruit disciples for their respective Sects.

However, seven days was ultimately too short, even for the Leading Immortals of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm to find all the good seedlings.

Therefore, in addition to the Leading Immortals, the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm took an extra measure by arranging Envoys to settle on Sea Blue Star for the long term, to observe the Cultivators here and scout for suitable candidates in advance, so that they could send these preselected talented youths into The Immortal Realm once the passageway opened.

Yet, the Envoys stationed on Sea Blue Star were essentially living in exile.

The reason being that resources were scarce here, Spiritual Energy was lacking, and their powers would even be actively suppressed, so no one was willing to live in such a place that was nearly “where not even a bird would shit”.

As a result, these Envoys were originally erring disciples from various Sects.

Depending on the severity of their mistakes, they would be exiled to the lower realm for a Jiazi for lighter offenses and several Jiazi for heavier ones.

Consequently, people started calling this group of Envoys banished on this star, the Banished Immortals.

“So it’s a Banished Immortal.

My sincere apologies!”

Li Fuqiang, Nan Bowan, and Qian Zongsheng hastily walked forward, approached Zhu Yangyuan, bent over to salute, and said in unison with reverential attitudes.

“Step aside.”

Zhu Yangyuan instructed casually and then paid no further attention to the three men, as the smug expression on his face reappeared.

It was the deportment of someone from a high position, which could be understood as a kind of haughtiness.

To this indifferent attitude, Li Fuqiang and the others did not take offense at all and immediately stepped aside as told.

Although the other party was “banished here for punishment,” he still carried the name of a major Sect from the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, with a powerful background, and no one dared to overlook that.

Moreover, his own strength was among the top on Sea Blue Star, with very few who could match him.

Most importantly, with the opening of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm imminent, there were plenty wishing to enter The Immortal Realm, and Banished Immortals had significant discretion in this matter.

This last point was precisely why Li Fuqiang and the others did not dare to be negligent.

ƝονǤο.сօ

Zhu Yangyuan’s attention then returned to Xu Fan, and the smug look on his face intensified.

However, Xu Fan found it amusing within.

Banished Immortals?

Heh…

Suitable to deceive children.

But he didn’t mock Zhu Yangyuan for this title, as there was no need!

He simply retorted sternly, “I know about this matter; am I getting in your way?

Or is it that only the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm is allowed to know about Cultivation, and no one else is permitted?”

“…”

Zhu Yangyuan did not expect Xu Fan to be so spirited and outspoken, saying such recklessly daring words, and was momentarily dumbstruck.

“It must be said, you have guts, talking to me like this even after knowing my identity.”

Zhu Yangyuan’s tone gradually turned icy.
