Chapter 784: Chapter 418: Black Nematode!
The Heavenly Immortal Realm corresponds to the Ninth Tier within the Pot Cave Heaven.
In terms of address, in the time domain of the North King, there were quite a variety of designations.
Some were referred to as Immortal Monarchs, others as Heavenly Monarchs, and still others as various Holy Venerates and Old Ancestors.
Within the Taoism lineage, there were more Immortal Monarchs, while other factions were primarily led by Old Ancestors.
And this seemed to be more fitting for the description needed for breakthroughs into the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
After all, each cultivator from the Immortal Cultivation World at the Ninth Tier has, more or less, spread their teachings far and wide.
They disseminated their Inheritance Dharma Veins to countless Small Worlds.
Even to this end, they did not hesitate to exhaust a large amount of resources to refine various Inheritance Divine Weapons or Magic Treasures.
And then they cast them into the chaos of time and space and temporal vortexes.
Letting them find their own fortunes over the span of long ages.
Nowadays, in the time domain of the North King.
So many Small Worlds have Returning to Void and Harmonization powerhouses emerging as soon as they come into existence.
It can be said that these Heavenly Immortals played an indispensable role in this.
...
The young master from the Cao Family of Old Heavenly Immortal lineage made quite a spectacle of himself at the auction in the Xuanling Realm, believing he was being clever.
In the eyes of this young master, by taking the initiative to back down, he did not tarnish the face of any background forces behind him using the might of the Old Ancestors. NovelBin
Such an action, in the eyes of those higher up, was merely a squabble among juniors, hardly worth mentioning.
After all, in normal circumstances, just as the Cao Family’s young master did not actually wish to offend a power suspected of having a Heavenly Immortal in the background.
The local guardian here, just by being a bit sensible, would surely not dare to make an enemy of a Heavenly Immortal family.
And he himself could thus secure that piece of Spiritual Medicine and gain the favor of the Old Ancestors.
Thinking of this, the Cao Family’s young master looked excitedly once more at the projection of the Spiritual Medicine on the auction block.
This was a truly genuine, high-quality item.
Combined with other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the family, it was possible to refine Life-extending Pills that even a Heavenly Immortal could use.
Although theoretically, after becoming a Heavenly Immortal one could achieve tens of thousands of years or even longer lifespan.
But in reality, hidden dangers in the process of cultivation, the aftermath of battling Dark Calamity, or injuries to the Primordial Spirit obtained while fighting peers within the same realm.
Not to mention the unnoticed flaws inherent in the breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal itself.
All of these factors resulted in some of the Heavenly Immortal Realm Great Divine Power Users growing old after a few thousand years, with their Divine Souls also heading downhill.
Unfortunately, the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family was one with numerous flaws...
He had a particular fondness for Spiritual Medicines related to life extension and consolidation of the Divine Soul.
The young master from the Cao Family fixed his gaze on Elder Lu.
He had already seen the hesitation and the lean towards compromise in Elder Lu’s emotional fluctuations.
Just as he was beginning to smile to himself,
Elder Lu and Deacon Xiahou suddenly became serious.
With a cold demeanor, they looked at the old and young members of the Cao Family and said,
"We hold respect for the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family,"
"But rules are rules!"
"Guest number 112, you have disrupted the order of the venue."
"You have lost your right to auction and must now leave the venue and pay compensation."
"Considering that you did not cause too much damage, we will not be too harsh on you."
"Huh?"
The young master from the Cao Family opened his mouth wide, uncertain if he had heard correctly.
"Do... do you realize what you’re saying?"
"Does the power behind you agree to you offending a Heavenly Immortal?"
The young master from the Cao Family’s face turned red.
He had never experienced defiance from any power before.
Had he not witnessed the battered Xuanwu Realm on his way over and known that the power behind the scenes was substantial,
the young master from the Cao Family would have already harbored murderous intentions.
The Cao Family’s old servant also sighed silently and moved next to the young master, subtly releasing his own aura.
This old servant’s realm was not higher than that of Elder Lu.
However, the array of Magic Treasures on him posed a great pressure on Elder Lu.
But this time, Elder Lu hardened his scalp and bellowed:
"Dare to resist?"
"This venerable sees that your audacity knows no bounds!"
"Do you really think the Xuanling Realm is still as it used to be?"
"The place protected by the World-saving Heavenly Venerate is not for you to be reckless!"
Elder Lu stood righteous and imposing, with a graceful air and even a hint of sunlight seemingly breaking through around him.
The old servant and young master from the Cao Family frowned slightly, silently communicating and planning to first leave the venue and then contact their family to see how to deal with the situation.
The old servant suddenly sensed danger approaching and called out in a low voice:
"Young Master, be careful!"
The next moment, accompanied by a white light that flashed and vanished above the hall,
The previously aggressive old and young master from the Cao Family.
Suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The cultivators present were not ordinary cultivators.
They could tell that it was not the Cao Family’s old and young master who had vanished on their own accord.
It was that very white light that had swept them away!
These cultivators naturally guessed that it must be a great power behind the auction house that had taken action.
No wonder Elder Lu had suddenly become so assertive.
It was just unclear whether the one who had taken action was the same entity that had eradicated the Xuanwu Sect.
And how many such powers were there under the World-saving Heavenly Venerate?
"Cough cough, those who violated the order have been taken away,"
"Fellow Taoist friends, let us continue the auction and move on to the next treasures!"
Deacon Xiahou cleared his throat, put on a smiling face to soothe everyone,
And as the auctioneer returned to the stage,
The cultivators in the venue once again focused their attention on the auction items.
Because of the disturbance caused by the Cao Family’s old and young members,
The Spiritual Medicine had fetched a price surpassing the initial estimates by far.
Apparently, the young master from the Cao Family had clued some cultivators in on the importance the Heavenly Immortals placed on this medicine.
Naturally, they leaned toward getting their hands on the Spiritual Medicine to use it as an entry token to make contact with the power behind the scenes.
