Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1379: Emotional Attachment
Tang Xiu's words were not without foundation. As there were many resources in the Eternal World, a large number of children borne by the main experts of the sect were nurtured with potions before their birth. Some of these children had elite bloodlines that gave them the same strength as the Golden Core and Nascent Core when they were born. In the case of Primastial Spirit Beasts and Ancient Immortal Beasts, due to their powerful bloodlines, the descendants born by them also possessed the strength of ordinary Immortals.
Give your child a first step.
This is a widely quoted sentence on Earth, and also a well-known dictum.
Su Lingyun knew his son was quite impressive, so he was willing to leave a decision regarding cultivation-related matters in his hands.
“Mastered.”
Gu Yan’er flew up gracefully with a smile on his face.
Tan Xiu returned Tang Xing to his mother and followed it up with a smile as well. “Because you're out, I assume you're done cultivating?”
“A little while ago,” replied Gu Yaner with a nod.
“How far are you from breaking through to the Perfect Gold Immortal Stage?”
Gu Yan’er shook his head. ” Since I have not cultivated for that long, there is no chance of breaking through to the Perfect Golden Eternal Stage now. It would not be a problem to achieve it in the next hundred years. ”
Tang Xiu smiled faintly and said, “Come with me, then!”
The two of them appeared above a remote island above the Sea of Misty Spring a short while later. Just when Gu Yan’er felt at a loss as to why they had come here, four shadows emerged from the fog.
“Yang Mulia.”
The leader, Jin Shi, wore a respectful face as he offered an interspatial ring.
Tang Xiu took the ring, examined its contents with his spiritual senses, and nodded in satisfaction. “What is the expansion status of Intelligence Department?”
“Our intel operatives have infiltrated deeply into the Immortal Lyceum, so the intel network is now scattered across the Aeternum, Obsidium, and Chalcedoneum, respectively to the southeast, west, and north. According to our estimates, it will only take three years for the intel network to fully integrate itself in these three regions. However, the expenditure on intel and the purchase of Demon Stones and Demon Crystals has completely consumed the Eternal Crystals and Crystal Essences that you have given me, Your Majesty. ”
“Give me two months.” Tang Xiu pondered for a moment and said, “I will then give you enough Immortal Crystals and Crystal Essences to defend the Intelligence Department for another hundred years.”
“Understanding!” Jin Shi admitted and then asked suddenly, “Your Majesty, we have discovered something recently. An old man with an undetectable cultivation base arrived at our Immortal Lyceum a week or two ago and has inquired about you everywhere. From what we speculated, he should be arriving at the Misty Spring Ocean soon. ”
Tang Xiu asked him, “Who is he?”
“Sycamore Old,” Jin Shi replied.
Tang Xiu raised his eyebrows and was aloof. “I didn't think he'd come looking for me. Good. Since he has come, let me face him! Find out where he is at once and let me know as soon as possible. If you find his location, tell him immediately that I'm here. ”
“Yes Your Majesty!” Jin Shi replied and walked to the side before sending ten Communication Marks. Immediately after, one of them whistled through the misty ocean and shone with golden flames in front of everyone. Jin Shi handed this Communication Board to Tang Xiu, whose eyes narrowed slightly.
The City of Aether.
The old Sycamore stared at the scene across the street through the window of the largest restaurant in the city. The army of the Great Tang Empire dressed in battle armor had surrounded the two black-robed men there. These two men had a high cultivation base and were already in the Crossing Tribulation Stage. On the other hand, the soldiers of the Great Tang Empire surrounding them were all only at the Great Ascension Stage, except for the captains who were at the Heavenly Celestial Stage.
“Big Tang Empire, you are too far!”
An illusory figure suddenly appeared in front of them. The gray-haired woman's eyes were filled with killing intent as she shouted, “Don't blame us for acting sadistic and killing all of you here if you continue this way.”
The captain holding a long spear looked at the woman as if he was their main enemy and said in a deep voice, “You have broken the laws of the Great Tang Empire by daring to kill someone within the city. If You announce Your identity and Your grudge with the deceased, You may have the opportunity to relieve Your guilt. But if you continue to act with less caution, and ignore our advice, we will be forced to arrest you and let the Department of Justice punish you. ”
The gray-haired woman became angry. “This place belongs to the Immortal Lyceum and is the domain of Her Highness Bella. You have taken it by force and even made laws, so why did we give up on you? ”
The captain replied in a cold voice, “Emperor of our Great Tang Empire said these words once: ‘highest powerful government in the Eternal World.’ We can make laws because our Great Tang Empire has the power and the numbers to enforce it. As the old saying goes, ‘submit, and you will prosper, or resist and perish.’ If you are unwilling to obey the laws of the Great Tang Empire, you are free to leave this place. But since you have committed a crime here, you will receive punishment for it. ”
The white-haired lady asked in a cold voice, “With only you all?”
Inside the tea room, Old Sycamore actually approved the words spoken by the captain. The Eternal World really is a place where power reigns supreme. As long as one had absolute power, they could make laws. The words “subject, and you will prosper, or resist and perish” resonate perfectly with his pure mind.
“Sweetest. This Aether City was only a small town in the Immortal Lyceum, so it only had a weak Heavenly Cultivator defending it. The gray-haired lady was a late stage Immortal Gold cultivator, which would make it difficult for them to conquer her. ” Old Sycamore sighed sadly.
“Hmm?”
The attendant looked at the scene outside through the window and then greeted him with a fist. “Greetings, Senior Sycamore. This junior is a member of the Intelligence Department of the Great Tang Empire. ”
Old Sycamore furrowed his brows and then asked, “What is this Intelligence Department? And how do you know me? ”
The server replied respectfully, “The Intelligence Department is the intelligence network of the Great Tang Empire. I am in charge of Aether City. In fact, seniors were already on the radar of our Intelligence Department before you even entered the Immortal Lyceum. A few minutes ago, I received a message from the head of the Department to give you the answer you've been looking for a long time. ”
Old Sycamore's expression changed as he asked in a deep voice, “Where is Great Sky Emperor Tang?”
“As long as senior can help me solve the problem outside, you will be able to obtain the location of His Majesty immediately.”
Whooshing sound…
Old Sycamore appeared in the air above the street instantly, suppressing the gray-haired woman with a powerful aura while saying in a cold voice, “You have two options. State your identity and your grudge with the deceased, or accept death. ”
The gray-haired female disciple contracted, and shock filled her eyes. He had never dreamed that a Perfect Golden Eternal Stage cultivator existed in Aether City. And it was also a cultivator with a formidable cultivation base that was higher than the Eternal Gold Immortal Stage.
“Senior, I'm Snowfrost, sect master of the Heavenly Arcanum Sect. The person we chased down to here and then killed was Xuan Fei, the traitor of my sect. He killed my daughter and stole the Immortal Mirror Sol from my sect. Although we did not pay close attention to the laws of the Great Tang Empire, we did not intend to violate them intentionally. ”
Old Sycamore glanced at the captain and said in a cold voice, “He has spoken. It's up to you to decide how to handle it. ”
The Captain pondered for a moment and issued a Communication Mark. He came back again after a few minutes, and a new awareness appeared on his face as soon as he read the information he received. He then said in a neutral voice, “You are indeed the sect master of the Heavenly Arcanum Sect. It seems that a major incident happened in your sect in the past 6 months as well, so you seem to have told the truth. Forgetit. If you are willing to live by the laws of my Great Tang Empire, you can stay in our Eternal Lyceum, but if you feel dissatisfied with them, you are free to leave. ”
Snowfrost pondered over it for a moment and then said in a soft voice, “Actually, the laws of the Great Tang Empire are quite good. They act as a preventive force against criminals and the like. We are willing to stay as long as the Great Tang Empire does not make things difficult for the Heavenly Arcanum Sect. ”
He then glanced at Old Sycamore and asked respectfully, “Can I ask who you are, Senior?”
Old Sycamore replied nonchalantly, “There is no need for you to know. You just need to act according to the laws of the Great Tang Empire, and that is enough. You can all leave now. ”
“Understanding!”
Snowfrost smiled bitterly and left with the other two disciples after cupping his fists.
Swosh …
The tea room attendant shot a jade slip towards Old Sycamore and disappeared afterwards. A little while later, Old Sycamore glanced towards the tea room and furrowed his brows slightly as he had discovered that the maid was no longer inside the tea room.
“This is interesting.”
Covering a distance of five thousand kilometers around him with his spiritual senses, the smile on Old Sycamore's face froze instantly. In just a few seconds, the Great Tang Empire's intel agent, who had not even become an Immortal, had surprisingly disappeared without a trace from this distance.
“How can this happen?
“It was impossible for him to leave so quickly.
“Did my senses fail to detect the concealment array present in this Aether City? No, wait It doesn't feel like a concealment array. Is that possible ... spatial teleportation array? ”
Old Sycamore trembled and immediately raised his guard.
A few days later.
The old Sycamore rushed to the location mentioned in the jade slip that the tea attendant had given him. When he arrived at the remote island, he saw Tang Xiu and Gu Yan’er drinking tea quietly while sitting cross-legged in front of the tea table.
“For a long time, but you're classy as always, Old Sycamore!”
Tang Xiu raised his head slowly and smiled faintly towards Old Sycamore.
Old Sycamore looked at Tang Xiu with complex emotions and asked in a rude voice, “I want an explanation.”
Tang Xiu tapped on the table lightly, and the aromatic tea cup on it floated gently before stopping in front of Old Sycamore. He then smiled and said, This “Teh is to thank you for helping my Great Tang Empire army in Aether City, please take.”
Old Sycamore was silent for a while, but finally decided to accept it. After finishing the cup in one gulp, he asked, “You should tell me now, right?”
The smile on Tang Xiu's face faded gradually, and a wry expression replaced it. “Is that explanation very important? He's dead, and you have your own life. Why should you bind yourself to emotional attachment? ”
