Chapter 718 - - 541 Offering Treasures_2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

According to the Heavenly Court’s calculation of time, the establishment of Heavenly Master’s Mansion in the Immortal Court has not yet exceeded a hundred years.

…

In the Immortal Realm, the True Immortal realm is the lowest level.

Responsible for planting spiritual herbs, feeding immortal birds, mining spiritual ores, and so on, the role of a Heavenly Soldier is already considered a good position. At least they don’t have to do too many miscellaneous tasks, and they can also receive the stipend of the Immortal Court.

After Lou Zhen ascended, he was assigned to the Heavenly Master’s Mansion, and because he was not a direct descendant of Dragon Tiger Mountain, he worked as a handyman.

This descent to the mortal realm was also a temporary assignment…

…

A time ratio of one to one hundred is equally a loophole that can be exploited.

It only took two days’ time for the Day Roaming God to report back to the South Peak Emperor from Dragon Tiger Mountain and for Xu Jinghui to descend, which is already considered a quick response. If it involved actions like mobilizing an army or campaigning in the mortal realm, there would be at least ten days to several months of delay.

At this point, Duge finally understood why there are Five Peak Emperors stationed in the mortal realm, why Emperor Donghua would personally descend to deal with evil demons.

The Heavenly Court is probably worried about not being able to respond in time, fearing that Alien Warriors would destroy the mortal realm!

…

Even Dragon Tiger Mountain has the Mountain Protection Array left by Heavenly Master Xu, and the South Peak Emperor resides in the mortal realm permanently, so the defense of his domain will only be stronger than Dragon Tiger Mountain’s, not weaker.

Theoretically, Duge should proceed gradually, first causing chaos in the mortal realm to demonstrate his abilities, unsettling the world to draw out the South Peak Emperor as the surest strategy.

But now, with only nine days left until the end-of-month rankings are announced, Duge no longer has time.

Moreover, he has the same worry: once he causes chaos in the mortal realm, it might not be the South Peak Emperor who comes, and then it would be even more difficult to wrap things up.

In the previous Alien Battlefield, Duge won amidst chaos because he had enough control and self-preservation abilities, but in this world, it is more appropriate to defeat each challenge one by one.

…

South Peak’s Suspended Mountain.

Duge and Xu Jinghui stood outside the domain of the South Peak Emperor, waiting for his summons.

“Ancestor, aren’t we taking too much of a risk doing this?” Xu Jinghui licked his lips and transmitted his voice to Duge, “If we fail to persuade the South Peak Emperor, we…”

“I’m not panicking, so what are you panicking for?” Duge gave him a glance and responded, “Just follow the plan, we have to ensure the seeds blossom in various places across the Five Great Continents. We can’t fall behind here. Otherwise, if we disrupt the grand design of our lord above, no one can shoulder that responsibility. If we seek wealth and honor, how can we not take some risks?”

“…” Xu Jinghui swallowed and said no more.

“Act naturally, you’re here to seek fortune, not to die,” Duge said to the two behind him, frowning slightly, “The more relaxed you are, the less likely you’ll die. The South Peak Emperor has managed the mortal realm for many years, with the way you look now, it’s obvious you have guilty consciences.”

“Ancestor, I can’t help it!” Xu Jinghui said with a mournful face.

“Didn’t you rehearse well on Dragon Tiger Mountain?” Duge glared at him, “You’ve been through the tribulation of thunder, and experienced the humiliation of Dragon Tiger Mountain. What pain and suffering could be worse than these two things in this world?

If you can’t control your fear, just think about the pain and humiliation of being pierced by a thousand swords. You’ve already been trampled into the valley, what are you waiting for if not a chance to turn things around? Do you want to live through life like a spent arrow, without ever making a mark?”

Strangely enough.

As soon as Duge spoke these words, the nervousness in Xu Jinghui and the other’s hearts really disappeared in an instant.

Not long after.

The fog outside the Suspended Mountain dispersed, and two Day Roaming Gods appeared before Xu Jinghui, glancing at Duge who was wrapped in a black robe. They respectfully said, “Immortals, the Great Emperor invites you.”

“Thank you, Divine Envoy, for leading the way,” Xu Jinghui said with a smile, gesturing with his hand.

The Day Roaming Gods turned and led the three of them straight into the domain of the South Peak Emperor.

The domain of the South Peak Emperor, much like Dragon Tiger Mountain, boasted beautiful scenery, with several mountains suspended in the air, shrouded by clouds and mist.

However, unlike Dragon Tiger Mountain, the Spiritual Energy here was exceptionally rich, at least three times that of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Moreover, besides disciples cultivating on the various mountain peaks, there were also Day Roaming Gods, Night Roaming Gods, and various other Yin Gods and Underworld Soldiers guarding the area.

The palace of the South Peak Emperor was on the highest mountain peak, flanked by rows of Underworld Soldiers, with banners fluttering in the wind, and in front of the grand hall stood a tall flagpole, bearing the two big characters for South Peak.

The Day Roaming God led Xu Jinghui up to the front of the grand hall, where a polite young man in white armor took over. He exuded an air of transcendence and, like Xu Jinghui, was also of the True Immortal’s Cultivation Level.

Similar young True Immortals, at least a dozen more, stood outside the palace of the South Peak Emperor.

Looking at these True Immortals, Duge silently sighed. It was fortunate that he had not followed the Day Roaming God’s forceful entry into the domain of South Peak, otherwise, entering truly would have been akin to courting death!

Dragon Tiger Mountain is merely the mortal realm stronghold of Heavenly Master Xu, whereas the South Peak Emperor truly holds office here…

“Emperor, the two from Heavenly Master’s Mansion, Xu Jinghui, have arrived,” the young man directly led Xu Jinghui into the grand hall and reported with a bow.

Duge looked up to see, in the center of the grand hall on a golden chair, sat a middle-aged man in a blue robe with a beard reaching his chest. He was busy amending various memorials from everywhere, occasionally marking with the pen in his hand. He worked swiftly and with focus. When he heard the young man’s report, he finally looked up at Xu Jinghui and the other.

Xu Jinghui and the other hurriedly saluted, “Xu Jinghui (Lou Zhen) pays respects to the Emperor.”

“Dispense with the formalities,” the South Peak Emperor glanced at them indifferently, his gaze resting on Duge, asking, “Is the matter at Dragon Tiger Mountain settled?”

“To report to the Emperor, I have come precisely for this matter,” Xu Jinghui said.
