Chapter 541 - 541: Let the “Honest Man’s” Reputation Spread in the Immortal Realm
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Lightning Immortal was called Nangong Chu, and he was born in the Elixir Mansion’s Nangong Immortal Race in the Virtual Jade Heaven.
The position of Lightning Immortal originally belonged to an elder of the Nangong Immortal Race. Later on, due to Nangong Chu’s talent in cultivating the lightning technique, he obtained a fragment of the Lightning Immortal position by chance. Therefore, he became one of the new 8,000 Lightning Immortals after the elder retired.
Other than the Immortal Lord of Justice, the other immortal positions had a term.
Every ten thousand years, it would change.
However, the change that happened once every ten thousand years was meaningless to the immortals. It was because it was “hereditary,” no matter how it changed.
When the previous generation of immortal races retired, they would announce to the outside world that any immortal cultivator, even a mortal, was qualified to compete for the immortal position. However, the person who eventually obtained the position of Lightning Immortal was often an immortal that they had already decided on.
If something unexpected happened, the immortal cultivator, who was supposed to be the Lightning Immortal, would give up his position for various reasons, such as feeling that he was lacking in virtue and voluntarily giving up or accidentally falling into an ancient ruin for ten thousand years. Afterward, they would decline the Lightning Immortal position that they almost got!
However, the probability of such an unexpected incident happening was very low.
After all, the immortal races knew the details of the immortal position’s test. They might even know the final answer in advance.
Therefore, every time something unexpected happened, it wasn’t that the immortal races’ members who partic.i.p.ated in the immortal test were too stupid, but that a few people “extended their rebellion period.”
They took pleasure in causing trouble for their immortal races.
Nangong Chu was naturally not the one who had “extended his rebellion period.” When he saw a puppet blocking his way, he couldn’t help but frown.
However, he knew that the puppet was brought by the eighth Immortal Lord of Justice and was his trusted aide.
As the saying goes, “One should respect the others.” Therefore, Nangong Chu cupped his fists and said politely, “Please inform Immortal Lord Fang that the Big Dipper Lightning Immortal, Nangong Chu, has something to ask of him.” The power that corresponded to each grade of immortal position was clear.
Therefore, there was no such thing as “looking down on others.”
When Fang Jinyu stepped into the Immortal Palace, everyone could see his power as a grade 6 immortal official.
Nangong Chu’s immortal position as a Big Dipper Lightning Immortal was graded 7.
The cat-eared puppet girl’s eyes flickered with a bright light when she heard it. She said, “Master has gone to the Land of Presumption and will only return after a year.”
“The Land of Presumption?” Nangong Chu was surprised to hear it.
It was because the Land of Presumption was essentially a weakened version of the “Boundless Realm.” However, unlike the “Boundless Realm” used to banish True Immortals, the Land of Presumptuous was specially used to suppress True Immortals.
Rumors say that the Green Supreme refined it. However, it wasn’t used much after it was refined for some reason. It was kept in the Immortal Palace.
Any immortals from the Immortal Palace could enter the Land of Presumption.
Nangong Chu had especially gone there once because of the reputation of being refined by the Green Supreme. However, the Land of Presumption was bizarre. It was simply the mortal world of the mortal world!
A day in the Sea of Realms meant a year had pa.s.sed in the Land of Presumption!
Based on the prediction, a day in the immortal realm meant nearly 140,000 years had pa.s.sed in the Land of Presumption.
Therefore, in the past, the person who had stayed in the Land of Presumption for the longest time had only stayed for one or two days.
It was also why Nangong Chu was surprised when he heard that Fang Jinyu wanted to stay in the Land of Presumption for so long. It was because a year in the immortal realm meant that 50 million years would pa.s.s in the Land of Presumption!
Although a True Immortal’s lifespan was endless and 50 million years was nothing, Nangong Chu couldn’t understand why Fang Jinyu wanted to stay in the Land of Presumption for so long.
There was nothing special about the Land of Presumption other than the strangeness of time.
Afterward, Nangong Chu turned around and left. Since Fang Jinyu wasn’t around, he would wait for a while. He felt he didn’t need to go to the Land of Presumption to find Fang Jinyu. It was because going to that place was no different from suffering.
When the cat-eared puppet girl saw Nangong Chu leave, she returned to the place specially vacated for her in the Immortal Lord of Justice’s Mansion.
All kinds of tools required to refine spirit tools, elixirs, and talismans were here. Other than that, there were also many related ancient books.
Afterward, the cat-eared puppet girl happily began to refine elixirs.
However, even though the cat-eared puppet girl had extraordinary strength, she was still a beginner in alchemy.
It was especially true this time. She almost blew up the alchemy furnace in the Immortal Palace because she was in a hurry to get started.
The cat-eared puppet girl didn’t show any signs of panic or guilt when she saw the thick smoke billowing from the place.
However, an ancient book in this place couldn’t stand it anymore. It quickly revealed its true form and chanted a spell. An immortal wind immediately blew over, dispersing the smoke and extinguishing the burning immortal flames.
“You new girl, why are you so reckless? You should be careful to avoid being punished by the Immortal Lord of Justice!” The ancient book existed before the ancient era. Therefore, he manifested an old man’s appearance after he revealed his true form. At this moment, he hunched over and spoke in a bad mood.
“I’m not acting recklessly! My lord said that since the things here don’t belong to him, he let me refine them at will. It will be fine even if I burn this place down..”
