Chapter 923: Immortal Land

Chapter 923: Immortal Land


While standing on the cliff, Li Yunmu could see a jungle underneath as far as his eye could see. There was a thick layer of clouds before him, extending like an ocean into the distance. Not far away, a few red-crowned cranes were flying with people riding on their backs. When Li Yunmu looked around, the figures sitting on the red-crowned cranes also sensed his existence.


The red-crowned cranes, which were originally flying toward the west, changed direction and aimed for the cliff. In the blink of an eye, a small group of red-crowned cranes descended on the ground. A few young taoists leapt down from them. They all had swords on their backs.


A youth who acted as their leader carefully observed Li Yunmu and suspiciously asked with a frown, “Are you someone from Asura Clan?”


“Do you know the appearance of Asura Clan’s people?”


Li Yunmu sized up the young taoist. The presence coming from the youth’s body was only at half G.o.d realm, while the taoists behind him only had a cultivation base of initial stage sage flux expert, so Li Yunmu couldn’t help but feel somewhat curious. Yin son of heaven and his subordinate black-robed person whom he had seen in divine palace were in G.o.d realm.


That was why he believed that G.o.d realm was the lowest standard for people sent by beyond the heavens through the leaks into the Origin World. He was thus surprised to see a half G.o.d expert as well as sage flux experts in the small world.


With such low strength, weren’t they afraid of courting death after entering the Origin World? Speaking about cooperation also required some strength, so they had to at least be G.o.ds.


“I have seen people of Asura Clan, and all of them have different anomalies. Unlike them, you have the appearance of an ordinary person, so you shouldn’t be an Asura clansman. But if you aren’t from the Asura Clan, how could you enter this small world?”


A hint of doubt appeared on the young taoist’s face as he questioned again and again.


After hearing his words, the expression of the female taoist standing behind the youth became fl.u.s.tered.


She stretched her slim white hand to pull the young taoist’s clothes and softly said, “Senior apprentice brother, you have said too much. This isn’t Profound Sword Pavilion, and we might encounter some mishap if you continue talking irresponsibly. This person of unknown origins, if he is a spy of the Origin World, then we might even be killed by him.”


The young man felt enlightened by her words, and he said while raising his guard, “Oh, correct. This dao friend, if you don’t have anything to do here, then leave this small world of the night pearl. The people of the Origin World aren’t allowed to step foot into this region. If you were discovered by the Alliance, you will be killed until even your soul is gone.”


A hint of fierceness appeared in the young taoist’s eyes then, and the expressions of junior taoists standing behind him turned dull.


Li Yunmu looked at them and the red-crowned cranes, and he felt rather happy in his heart. He hadn’t expected that there would be such a pure person in beyond the heavens. He still kindly warned Li Yunmu even after knowing that he was someone from the Origin World.


“Don’t panic, there’s no one in this small world who can be my opponent,” Li Yunmu said, and his body erupted with G.o.d level presence, intimidating the taoists so much that they retreated backwards and the red-crowned cranes kneeling on the ground became restless.


The young taoist looked at Li Yunmu’s young face and said in panic, “True Immortal!”


Li Yunmu looked at the expressions of the taoists, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips. “What’s your name? Which power from beyond the heavens is this small world affiliated to? Also, how did you all find out that I am a person of the Origin World?”


The young taoist snapped to attention and looked at Li Yunmu in a panic. “My name is Jue Qingji, and the ones standing behind me are my junior apprentice brothers and sisters. This small world isn’t affiliated to any power, but rather belongs to the Alliance. As for how we could recognize that you are someone from the Origin World, it is because the cultivation system of people in the Origin World is different from ours, so we can differentiate with one glance.”


After saying that, Jue Qingzi sensed someone pulling his clothes from behind, and he turned to see the female taoist with a pale expression. All of a sudden, he realized his mistake. He was someone from beyond the heavens, but he was telling all the important matters to someone from the Origin World, which was clearly too much.


After his words, Li Yunmu realized that people from beyond the heavens relied on the difference in presence to check whether someone was from the Origin World or not and didn’t base it on appearance.


Yet except for the G.o.ds of the Origin World, the majority of other people had some sort of anomaly that would give them away as people of the Origin World at first glance. After all, the people from beyond the heavens that Li Yunmu had seen so far had normal appearances.


They were quite similar to people of Earth.


Hold on…


After thinking that far, a sudden flash of enlightenment appeared in Li Yunmu’s mind as he realized something. The people of Earth didn’t have any anomalies, the same as people from beyond the heavens.


On top of that, Earth was the other path which True G.o.d was experimenting with. On Earth, its people weren’t suppressed by G.o.ds. Everyone cultivated to defy the heavens, and True G.o.d had done it so in order to experiment with whether they could rely on themselves to obtain G.o.dhood.


Were the people of Earth created using beyond the heavens as a basis?


Jue Qingzi and the other people from beyond the heavens were still present, so it wasn’t a good time for Li Yunmuto ask the system about it. That meant that he could only suppress his suspicion and enquire about it later.


Li Yunmu then raised his head to look at Jue Qingzi and said with a smile, “Brother Jue Qingzi, the words of your junior apprentice sister are correct. I am indeed a spy dispatched by the Origin World, and I have come to learn about beyond the heavens. I wonder then if you could explain some things to me?”


When he said that, the Jue Qingzi turned pale, but he didn’t say anything.


The expression of the female taoist hiding behind him changed at that moment, and she growled, “See senior apprentice brother, what was I saying? This guy has come to investigate the Alliance! Yet just a moment ago, you told him too much! That was wrong! We should’ve left without showing any consideration!”


After a moment of silence, Jue Qingzi lightly coughed, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.


“Lord has the strength of a true immortal, so you should find the people on the same level to obtain information from instead of people like us who haven’t become immortal yet!” he said slowly. “Our strength is weak, so I don’t know how much we can tell you!”


Li Yunm shook his head, and the presence he released from his body became even more profound. Jue Qingzi’s eyes went wide as he felt his head swaying. The entire world in his eyes seemed to have turned upside down.


Before, it was true immortal realm, but now he had erupted with the presence of a golden immortal realm.


Only the sect master of Jue Qingzi’s sect was a golden immortal.Yet the person of the Origin World which he encountered was surprisingly an almighty who could casually flick him to death.


If he revealed information about beyond the heavens to this almighty and it became known by the Alliance, he would certainly be executed, and even his sect would be implicated.


But if he didn’t speak, then he and those around him would face death right away.


Jue Qingzi’s voice was shaking when he said with a stammer, “Dao friend, if I don’t speak, then will you kill us fellow disciples?”


“Naturally no. Am I someone like people from beyond the heavens who treat people of the Origin World with incomparable cruelty? But although I am kind, I would have to make you all suffer a little in order to learn about the matters of beyond the heavens,” Li Yunmu said with a smile.


Originally, when he just encountered the people from beyond the heavens in this small world, he wanted to completely erase them. But the ones he met were so hilarious and kind that he could not do it.


He had a good opinion of Jue Qingzi and his fellow disciples, so he naturally wouldn’t kill them.
