Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 688: The True Disciple of Grand Heaven Sect Wants an Innate Magical Treasure_1

BOOM!

The door to the Cultivation chamber where Hao Hong was meditating was violently blasted open, and a young man walked in with an arrogant expression.

"Hao Hong?" The young man inspected Hao Hong and then asked uncertainly.

"Greetings, Chai Zhenchuan!" Hao Hong showed no dissatisfaction, even if his Cultivation had suffered a backlash; he was still the first to pay his respects.

The man before him was Chai Hui, a True Disciple of the Immortal King Realm, who could annihilate him with a wave of his hand. Given their vastly different positions and strength, even if Chai Hui were to kill him on the spot, the Grand Heaven Sect wouldn't object; the gap between a True Disciple and an Outer Gate Manager was stark.

"Not bad, you have some insight," Chai Hui said with satisfaction. Many people whose Cultivation was interrupted would harbor dissatisfaction. Usually, Chai Hui would incapacitate such individuals to remind them of their place. Of course, most people weren't so oblivious; in the Grand Heaven Sect, power was everything. Those without it could only bow their heads and submit.

"Thank you for your praise, Chai Zhenchuan," Hao Hong responded quickly.

"Alright, you should know why I've called you here," Chai Hui said calmly.

"I have some understanding," Hao Hong stated, choosing not to feign ignorance. "It concerns a Lower Realm native in the Qiandao Realm who killed a Disciple of our Sect. The victim was in the Immortal Realm, while the perpetrator used Demi Immortal Realm strength."

He was actually overjoyed inside. A True Disciple has indeed been drawn to this matter!

He made a quick calculation. From the time he reported the matter to the True Disciple's arrival, almost seven years had passed. While seven years might seem long, for Cultivators in the Green Nether Fairyland, it was merely the blink of an eye. It was even possible that other True Disciples hadn't emerged from their Cultivation even once during this period.

"Precisely. Recount everything you know," Chai Hui commanded, sitting commandingly in the main seat.

"Yes, Chai Zhenchuan," Hao Hong immediately repeated the information.

Chai Hui listened quietly without interrupting. Only after Hao Hong finished did he speak, "Very good. No issues."

"To be honest, I had planned to teach you a lesson when I arrived."

"Such a significant matter, and you even killed those five ascenders from the Lower Realm. But seeing as you're so sensible, I'll let it slide."

These words caused cold sweat to break out on Hao Hong's forehead. He knew that killing Lu Xing and the other four would undoubtedly stir up considerable trouble. The way he killed them was justified and aligned with the rules of the Grand Heaven Sect. However, this still depended on who was involved. Before a True Disciple, who held absolute power over life and death, justifications and reasoning were useless.

"Thank you for your mercy, Chai Zhenchuan," Hao Hong said immediately.

Killing those five had been an act of venting his frustration. In hindsight, he somewhat regretted it. However, what was done was done, and regret was futile.

"I know you're upset about your nephew's death."

"But in this matter, our Grand Heaven Sect will assist you. After all, however mediocre Hao Rui might have been, he was still an Outer Disciple of our Sect and not someone the Lower Realm natives could trifle with," a chilling light flashed in Chai Hui's eyes.

How could I not know what Hao Hong is thinking? Chai Hui mused. He's merely scheming to use the Sect's power. As for the giant beast of the Qiandao Realm? To a lofty True Disciple like myself, it's a trivial matter I can handle with ease. An Immortal Monarch Realm entity? How strong could it be? I wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the mere pressure emanating from my breath could severely injure an Immortal Monarch Realm Cultivator.

The entire hierarchy and order in the Green Nether Fairyland were based on insurmountable Cultivation Realms. And anyone capable of killing those in higher realms must possess an Innate magical treasure, which would be extremely conspicuous.

"Mmm, Chai Zhenchuan's kindness, I, Hao Hong, will never forget it for the rest of my life. If you have any commands, I will certainly do my utmost," Hao Hong said, tears streaming down his aged face.

Expressing gratitude requires a sufficient display of sincerity, not just empty words of thanks, Hao Hong thought. So, the best way is to cry, and to cry with utmost sincerity. Otherwise, how will he perceive my attitude? Of course, if I could latch onto this Chai Zhenchuan, that would undoubtedly be the best outcome.

A flicker of disgust and disdain crossed Chai Hui's eyes. Another sycophant, and a worthless, groveling piece of trash at that, he thought. I don't particularly detest sycophants; after all, I have plenty of such lackeys. But someone like Hao Hong? I wouldn't want him even if offered freely. No Potential, no background; taking him as a subordinate would just mean feeding another useless mouth. If I didn't urgently need to understand matters concerning the Qiandao Realm, and if the Innate magical treasure weren't so precious that I worried about mishaps if I sent someone else, I would never have bothered to meet a mere Outer Gate Manager. Someone like him would probably go his entire life without being able to exchange even a few words with me. Being able to converse with me now is already a tremendous favor, yet he still dreams of pledging allegiance?

"You?" Chai Hui said impatiently.

"I wouldn't dare. I was presumptuous," Hao Hong immediately sensed Chai Hui's displeasure and realized he was being looked down upon. This meant his plan to curry favor had failed. However, he didn't dare show any dissatisfaction and hurriedly admitted his mistake.

Persistent pestering is out of the question, Hao Hong thought nervously. Who knows if Chai Hui might lash out in annoyance?

"Heh, at least you have some self-awareness." Chai Hui glanced at Hao Hong, then casually took out a bottle of Elixir from his Storage Bag and tossed it on the ground. "Your performance had flaws, but it wasn't too bad. Take this little trinket as a reward."

After speaking, Chai Hui stood up and left.

"Many thanks for Chai Zhenchuan's reward!" Hao Hong's voice was very loud.

Chai Hui naturally heard this shameless flattery and was quite pleased. This way, my reputation will surely rise even higher, he thought with satisfaction.

He had no time to spare, as he needed to make a trip to the Lower Realm's Qiandao Realm to retrieve that Innate magical treasure as soon as possible and prevent any mishaps. Such treasures, if not claimed promptly, could easily be snatched by others.

Meanwhile, Hao Hong unhesitatingly picked up the crystal Jade bottle containing the Elixir that Chai Hui had thrown on the ground. In Hao Hong's eyes, even the bottle itself was made of extremely precious material; after consuming the Elixir, the crystal Jade bottle could be refined into a Magical Artifact.

Opening it, the fragrance of the Elixir wafted out, invigorating his spirits.

"As expected of a True Disciple, so generous! It's actually Lotus Fire Pills!" Hao Hong's expression was one of utter elation.

Dignity? After being insulted by him earlier? What's that? Hao Hong scoffed internally. That's nothing. It's not like I haven't experienced it before. I've cultivated all the way from the Demi Immortal Realm to the Immortal Monarch Realm. Throughout this journey, I've always had to grovel before those more powerful than myself. The entire Green Nether Fairyland is like this. Unless you're the son of an Immortal Emperor or a direct Disciple of an Immortal Venerate, everyone has to go through it. Even Immortal Emperors and Immortal Venerates have stronger beings above them. To achieve true freedom, one must reach the Ancestor Immortal Realm. Starting from obscurity, who hasn't been like this? How many haven't experienced suppression and exploitation? Even those lofty Ancestor Immortals have had such experiences in their past.

"With this bottle of Lotus Fire Pills, I can save at least several thousand years of arduous Cultivation." Hao Hong naturally knew the value of this bottle of Elixir. In the Immortal Monarch Realm, obtaining even a single pill would cost him dearly, yet Chai Hui had casually tossed him an entire bottle. Items from the Immortal Monarch Realm were practically worthless to an Immortal King Realm Cultivator.

This bottle of Elixir is probably the least valuable item in Chai Zhenchuan's Storage Bag, Hao Hong suspected. He simply couldn't offer anything worse, so he gave a bottle to dismiss me.

However, if Chai Hui had given something better, he wouldn't have dared to accept it. After all, an innocent man gets into trouble for carrying a treasure, he thought. If I really accepted something valuable, I wouldn't survive a month. With such a prominent figure visiting, who knows how many eyes were drawn here? A single bottle of Lotus Fire Pills is manageable. Although precious, the efforts to seize it through trickery or force will be much less intense.

"I need to grease some palms; otherwise, I won't be able to keep this bottle of Elixir." Hao Hong felt a pang of reluctance. He had received a benefit, so he had to offer a cut to his superiors to ensure his own safety. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

From this entire bottle of Elixir, perhaps only a single pill will end up in my hands; the rest will have to be surrendered, Hao Hong calculated grimly. Otherwise, I can forget about cultivating peacefully in the future. I could easily be targeted and face difficulties.

Cultivation itself requires vast resources, and even more so after becoming an Immortal.

Besides, that's just how things are in the Grand Heaven Sect, he acknowledged. If I share, I might get to keep one pill. If I don't, not only will I get nothing, but if I encounter someone ruthless, they might even kill me. I'm just a mere Outer Gate Manager, not an important figure in the Grand Heaven Sect.
