Chapter 516: Battlefield of Golden Immortals
Lord Tian Li shuddered at that!
He was one of the Thirty-Six Decan Lords of the Celestial Court and held considerable status in the Celestial Court itself, or he wouldn’t otherwise be assigned the heavy responsibility of watching over an immortal city.
And yet, he could not wrap his head around the report his lackey had submitted.
A human youth, with a cat and a dog...
Could he be the son of a Saint?
Still, Lord Tian Li perished the thought the instant he thought of it. “No, I’ve never heard of any of the Saints having children... however, who in the Three Realms could be so powerful that he has two Grand Luo as escorting servants?”
Grand Luo were beings who had reached Dao.
It was still acceptable for Grand Luo acting as one’s escorts, but them addressing him ‘master’ meant that they were clearly servants... and which Grand Luo in the whole wide world would stoop to be someone else’s servant?
As various thoughts flashed through his mind, Lord Tian Li, not daring to drag his feet, promptly offered fist-palm salute to his friends in his yard, saying, “Apologies, but I’ll be stepping out for a moment.”
With that, he jogged out toward the main entrance.
When he saw Jiang He from afar and sensed the vague Grand Luo’s Dao presence, he was shocked inwardly, “That youth is a frightening Grand Luo himself!”
“Senior...”
Lord Tian Li greeted Jiang He, offering a fist-palm salute and said respectfully, “I did not know of your arrival. Apologies for not receiving you.”
“I’m not that senior,” Jiang He replied courteously.
After that, Lord Tian Li led Jiang He, Dumbo, and Trumbo into his city and asked for the reason of their visit, to which Jiang He ordered Dumbo to replay the memories it had captured just before.
Lord Tian Li watched the silent footage while Trumbo dubbed it, playing all the characters by itself.
“So you’re Mister Jiang He from the homeworld.”
Lord Tian Li came to a realization then.
To tell the truth...
Since those rumors had spread out of Tian Li City, how could he not know as the governor of the city?
In fact, he had even received those people from the immortal sects, demonic sects, and daemonic cultivators, having a jovial time with them...
And deep inside his mind, he did agree with those people.
“Mister Jiang.”
Offering another fist-palm salute, Lord Tian Li asked reverently, “Being a powerful Grand Luo, do you have to bother yourself with such minor characters?”
“It’s mere rumors. You don’t have to take notice, Mister Jiang...”
Jiang He’s expression darkened.
Smack!
Beside him, Dumbo had already raised its paw and smacked Lord Tian Li in the face.
“B*stard! My master coming to you is giving you face!”
“Bleh! Insolent scrub!”
Dumbo’s eyes were filled with disdain as it spat at Lord Tian Li, and said, “Trumbo, come with me...”
Whoosh!
The cat and dog hence turned into divine lights and disappeared from the hall.
Lord Tian Li climbed out of the floor then, his face contorted with rage.
Though a Golden Immortal like him should hold respect in the presence of a Grand Luo, that did not mean a Grand Luo could humiliate him as they liked, since he was backed by the Celestial Court.
“Jiang He!”
He bellowed, “Killing is prohibited in Tian Li City! Are you not afraid of the Celestial Court’s wrath if you allow your slaves to kill?”
“Don’t think that you could strut in the celestial battlefield just because you’re a Grand Luo!”
Immortal light shone out of Lord Tian Li’s body, making him appear a little imposing.
Nonetheless, Jiang He narrowed his eyes at Lord Tian Li and calmly smiled. “It is my lawful right to protect my reputation... you, on the other hand, are a mere Golden Immortal who dares to raise his voice in my presence. Don’t you believe I would kill you with a slap?”
“You dare?”
Even so, Lord Tian Li’s expression changed drastically.
Despite Jiang He’s calm words that almost appeared joking, he felt a bone-chilling killing intent.
In the next instant, the two divine lights returned—Dumbo and Trumbo had returned to the residence and reported respectfully, “Master, those who spread the rumors are executed and the disciples of those immortal sects, demonic sects and daemonic cultivators all suppressed. Master, should you wish so, I just need a thought to kill them.”
“Let them go.”
Jiang He was no bloodthirsty murderer, after all.
Turning away from them to look at Lord Tian Li again, he said, “You’re Lord Tian Li, yes? Take me to the Jade Emperor at the Celestial Court.”
“Eh?”
Lord Tian Li’s gaze twitched.
A servant of his level would not know that the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian had visited Jiang He at the Hollow Jade Palace, let alone Jiang He’s fame in the Celestial Court.
‘The Celestial Court?’ Lord Tian Li thought.
‘I may be unable to win against you here, but do you think you could step out of line in the Celestial Court?’
“When shall we leave?” he then asked.
“Right now.”
“Very well!” Lord Tian Li said. “I’ll go prepare, let’s head there together later.”
***
There were several colossal Secret Realms deep in the celestial battlefield.
One of those is known as the battlefield of Golden Immortals.
At a subterranean river deep within...
“Phew~”
Wang Hou was sitting cross-legged on a boulder over the banks, breathing out a long, turbid breath of qi.
Some Blood Qi was still latching on to his body, and his entire appearance appeared a little ragged...
Even so, his eyes were incredibly bright.
“The battlefield of Golden Immortals is truly mystical... If I’ve benefited so grandly by just slaying fourteen Golden Immortals of foreign races, wouldn’t I be transcendent if I could kill up to fifty of them?”
“Still...”
“The suppression over me in this place is getting stronger.”
“My Grotto-Heaven has been condensed as best as I could, and I’m just a step away from Realm King...”
“I really hope that I could run into Modolo and White Sky God King before I ascend...”
Wang Hou licked his lips.
His abilities... were rather curious.
Back when Martial Dao was established, Wang Hou’s cultivation was equivalent to Golden Immortal and would not lose out to a Grand Luo in combat ability.
Later, after Jiang He founded the new fourteen tiers of martial arts, Wang Hou recultivated, building a new foundation in martial arts...
He was now Grotto-Heaven, the twelfth-tier, and still equivalent to a Golden Immortal.
Nonetheless, if he was willing, he could ascend up to the thirteenth-tier—Realm King—at any given moment.
As for his ability...
Jiang He estimated that Grand Luo with some depth would not be a problem for him.
He had long since heard about the mystical aspects of the celestial battlefield, and therefore held back his cultivation... he certainly did not expect that only a year after entering the battlefield of Golden Immortals and only killing the fourteen Golden Immortals of foreign races, the benefit he gained was almost preventing him from holding back his cultivation.
“I cannot kill indiscriminately now... I need to kill the vassals of the God race and Demon race, and it would be ideal if I could lure out Modolo and White Sky God King. It is only after killing them that I shall ascend.”
