Everything was quiet, and no one dared to make a sound. Even the four Core Formation elders were as quiet as cicadas in winter, and didn't dare to make the slightest movement.
The black-robed man's sudden appearance left them completely flabbergasted. His eyes pierced through the air, which was a terrifying power that not even the legendary deva patriarchs could possibly wield.
"Um … Senior, are you the life essence spirit of my Waterswamp Kingdom?"
Down on the trial platform, the bashful young man in the white robe rubbed his hands together sheepishly. Smiling timidly, he waved his hand in greeting.
"Life essence spirit?" The black-robed man said. After a moment of silence, he shook his head. "Your life essence spirit is still in that alternate dimension within the water vapor. You're too weak to summon it out!"
"So that's how it is …." The young man breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, this person wasn't his life essence spirit. After all, it would be very awkward to call a human his life essence spirit.
WHIZZZ!
It was at this point that a burst of pressure could be felt off in the distance, and a green beam of light shot through the air. A moment later, the light faded away to reveal a white-haired old man.
"It's the patriarch!"
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
It was none other than the patriarch of the Spirit Stream Sect. Ignoring the kowtows, he looked up at the black-robed figure up in the air, a serious expression on his face. After a moment of hesitation, he clasped hands and bowed.
"I am the patriarch of the Spirit Stream Sect. Greetings, Senior. How should I address you?"
"I am Haotian!"
The black-robed man was naturally Cheng Hao who had transmigrated from Shrouding Heavens World. This time, the way he transmigrated was a bit special. He was actually summoned by someone. This way of descending was very novel for Cheng Hao.
"Senior Haotian," he said, "what business do you have with the Spirit Stream Sect?"
Patriarch Spirit Stream bowed his head even lower. From what he could sense, this person was like a bottomless pit, like a world that existed outside of heaven and earth. Obviously, this person surpassed the level of deva patriarchs, and was most likely a demigod.
"It's nothing much. I was traveling in the starry sky outside the realm, and I just happened to sense that a spatial door had been opened in this world, so I came over to take a look. You don't have to be nervous!"
Cheng Hao smiled and casually made up a reason. He didn't care if the other party believed him or not.
With his strength at the peak of Human Immortal, his perception of danger was very sensitive. Unlike the Divine Tomb World and Shrouding Heaven World, where there was a sense of tension and crisis at all times, this world gave him a very comfortable feeling, without the slightest sense of oppression or tension.
In the One Thought Eternal Bitwall, Cheng Hao had read some plots in the Late Night Book House. He had skipped through some of the plots, so he had a basic understanding of the framework of this world.
The world he was in right now was called the Arch-Emperor World, and was the world inside of the almighty Kui. Although Kui had been dead for many years, the world inside of him hadn't collapsed, and had remained intact.
There were two most powerful experts in the Arch-Emperor World. One was Daoist Heavenspan from Heavenspan Island, and the other was the Hell-Emperor from the Wildlands. Both of them were on the verge of being in the Celestial Realm.
In the Arch-Emperor World, the levels were, from low to high, Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Deva, Demigod, and Celestial. Outside of the Arch-Emperor World were the Archaean, Sovereign Lord, and other such levels.
Although Cheng Hao had never fought a celestial before, he was fairly certain that the celestials here were on the same level as the sages from the Shrouding Heaven World. In fact, they were on the same level as the fist-wills of the Human Immortal Martial Path.
As for Daoist Heavenspan and the Hell-Emperor, they were both at the peak of the Demigod Realm and on the threshold of the Celestial Realm. Without leaving the Arch-Emperor World, they would never be able to break through to the Celestial Realm.
Therefore, as long as Cheng Hao stayed in the Arch-Emperor World, and didn't seek death, he would be able to do whatever he wanted without facing any danger. Although Daoist Heavenspan and the Hell-Emperor were strong, as long as they weren't in the Celestial Realm, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
There were no powerful experts who could threaten his safety, which was why Cheng Hao felt so comfortable in the Arch-Emperor World. After all, he had thirty years to work on his cultivation.
"What's your name, kid?" Even as Patriarch Spirit Stream pondered the implications of Cheng Hao's words, Cheng Hao looked over at the white-robed young man.
"Senior, my name is Bai Xiaochun." The young man smiled shyly. Then, he looked at Cheng Hao in the sky expectantly. "Senior, it seems that we are fated to meet. It just so happens that this junior summoned you here. Well, as a senior, do you have a greeting gift?"
"Heh heh …." Cheng Hao said with an enigmatic smile. Finally, Bai Xiaochun bowed his head in embarrassment. Then, he waved his sleeve, causing a piece of jade to appear in his hand, glowing with white light.
"I left a branding mark on it. If you need anything, crush it, and I'll be able to sense your location!"
Ignoring the look of delight on his face, Cheng Hao looked over at Patriarch Spirit Stream, who was standing off to the side.
"Prepare an immortal's cave for me. I'll be staying in this world for a while!"
"Don't worry, Senior," Patriarch Spirit Stream said, nodding respectfully. "Junior will prepare everything for you!"
"Very good. I'm going to take a tour of this world. You may all disperse!"
Cheng Hao was very pleased with Patriarch Spirit Stream's understanding of the situation. Nodding, he sent the power of the stars swirling around him, causing the image of a god-spirit to appear. Then, to the awe and reverence of the Spirit Stream Sect disciples, Cheng Hao took a step forward and vanished.
Seeing Cheng Hao disappear, Patriarch Spirit Stream, the Nascent Soul stage Patriarch Spirit Stream, sighed in awe, and said, "He can use Spatial Bending to travel 10,000 kilometers in the blink of an eye. He can travel through the starry sky. Just what level is this Senior at?"
"Patriarch," one of the Core Formation elders said, sighing, "it's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse that a godly figure like that has come to our Spirit Stream Sect!"
"Regardless of whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's not something we can control. Everyone, please send the disciples away." Looking very serious, Patriarch Spirit Stream waved his hand dismissively at the elders, then flew off into the distance to prepare an immortal's cave for Cheng Hao.
Down below on the trial platform, Bai Xiaochun chuckled as he was escorted off the platform by a group of disciples. His small, fair face couldn't help but smile.
"Hahahaha! I, Bai Xiaochun, really am a genius! I casually used a divine ability to summon an immortal! From now on, if anyone dares to mess with me, I'll just wave my sleeve and turn them into ash!"
