Earth.
Hua nation.
Inside a beautiful mountain.
This mountain did not have a famous name. Located in the Shaanxi and Gansu region, it used to be one of Sino Nation's "life forbidden zones". There was a Feral King and a large number of high-ranked, middle-ranked, and low-ranked Ferals living there. Later, when Sino Nation surrounded and exterminated Feral Kings everywhere, the Feral King here was not killed. Instead, it escaped to Sino Nation territory.
However, even without the Feral King, the high-ranked Ferals in the depths of the mountain were not to be underestimated. Because the mountains were connected to each other, it was a no-man's land that stretched for hundreds of miles, so there were not many martial artists who came here to train.
However, luxurious palaces had risen from the depths of the mountain.
These palaces were either located on mountain peaks or in valleys, and without exception, all of them emitted faint immortal light.
The first batch of immortals who returned from Earth all had legacies on Earth, so they naturally had places to go after returning. As for the second batch of immortals, most of their sects and forces had either moved to the celestial battlefield or their legacies had been destroyed, so they had to find a place to build their own residences.
Among those who returned this time, the weakest was a Sky Immortal, so building a residence was naturally a piece of cake for them. Even the weakest Sky Immortal had a Mystic Treasure Palace, so they just had to find a flat piece of land and place the Mystic Treasure Palace on it.
Because the Eight Immortals had chosen to stay in this mountain temporarily, there were many Golden Immortals, True Immortals, and Sky Immortals who followed them.
The rest were scattered. They either snuck into the mortal world, or found another mountain, and some even went overseas.
At this time, the Eight Immortals and a dozen Golden Immortals were gathered in an immortal palace that emitted a faint immortal light.
Iron Crutch Li was the eldest among the Eight Immortals, but this time, the immortals were led by Lü Dongbin.
In fact, in terms of combat ability and status, Lü Dongbin was not inferior to Iron Crutch Li.
He was a perfected Golden Immortal, and a Sword Immortal at that. His strength was second only to Modolo and the White Sky God King among all the Golden Immortals in the universe.
In terms of status …
Lü Dongbin had once served under the Jade Emperor and was on good terms with the various immortals in the Heavenly Court. Even the Grand Luo mighty figures had to give him some face.
The Eight Immortals were on good terms and did not care about such things. After all, Lü Dongbin would always discuss with them when something big happened. Iron Crutch Li was indifferent and did not bother with such things.
"Fellow Daoists."
Lü Dongbin was all smiles as he said, "I've sent a Golden Immortal back to the celestial battlefield to relay the news of the Hundred Races Alliance's defeat, and I'm sure we would receive a reply soon. In fact, I've gathered all of you here today to discuss the legacy of the homeworld."
The gazes of the many Golden Immortals twitched, and one of them, who was dressed in Daoist robes and had white hair and beard, rose to his feet and coldly said, "Mortals these days are too arrogant. I found several talented children in a city a few days ago and wanted to take them in as my disciples, but a bunch of people claiming to be from the Martial Arts Department (MAD) came to stop me in minutes, even mentioning Jiang He and Wang Hou to scare me."
The Golden Immortal's face was filled with rage.
A cold light flashed across his eyes.
Lu Dongbin's gaze sank, and he said in a deep voice, "You didn't attack, did you?"
The old Golden Immortal snorted coldly. "I'm a Golden Immortal. How can a few mortals enter my eyes?"
It was only then that Lü Dongbin breathed a long sigh of relief, though he was laughing inwardly … it seemed that Jiang He's name was quite intimidating.
Looking around, Lü Dongbin smiled. "Now that Jiang He has repelled the legion of the Hundred Races Alliance single-handedly, the threat to the homeworld is temporarily averted. There is no rush to return to the celestial battlefield, and I'm sure every Brother would more or less have the idea of taking in disciples on the homeworld. After all, the Dao of the homeworld is reviving and Fortune Qi is flourishing. The people of this era would definitely be blessed by Fortune Qi, and a batch of elites would definitely be born in the future … there are many benefits to taking in disciples."
"But …"
Lü Dongbin's tone changed then, and he said, "I've asked around, and it turns out that the mortals are no longer the same as before. They promote martial arts and immortal arts, and everyone could be said to cultivate them. Moreover, Jiang He and Wang Hou had already mentioned that anyone who wants to take in disciples and teach in the Hua Nation must get their permission … or be killed!"
The many Golden Immortals were all enraged at that.
Some accused Jiang He and Wang Hou of being too overbearing, while others sneered and said, "We are Golden Immortals, and we are no weaklings in the celestial battlefield. Do we have to listen to other people's whims when we take in disciples?"
Lü Dongbin, however, ignored the Golden Immortals' attitude and flatly said, "I've learned that Wang Hou is a demonic genius even if he was outshone by Jiang He. He possesses great Fortune Qi, and it has been less than eleven years since he started cultivating. At the end of his martial path, he created a brand-new martial path, and on the day that the Dao of the homeworld was revived, Fortune Qi blessed him … his future would be limitless if he doesn't die."
"As for Jiang He, I don't have to say much. If any of you really have the intention of taking in disciples, it would be best if you could talk to those two first."
The air in the immortal palace turned quiet.
Talk to Jiang He and Wang Hou?
Wouldn't that mean they were lowering their heads to them?
It would have been fine if those two were veteran Golden Immortals who had cultivated for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. However, any one of the Golden Immortals present was older than Jiang He and Wang Hou multiplied by ten. Would they be willing?
Most importantly, the two fellows who were still young in the eyes of the Golden Immortals possessed the ability to easily kill them.
That was when Lü Dongbin's face twitched and he looked out of the palace, exclaiming in surprise, "The brother who had gone to the celestial battlefield to report has returned so quickly?"
There was a flash of confusion in his eyes.
How many days had it been?
Even if he had used the warp portal without stopping and rushed back regardless of consumption, he was probably on his way back to the homeworld … and it would be two days at the earliest.
Still, Lü Dongbin understood the reason in the next instant.
At the horizon outside.
A unique Daoist Aura spread across the place.
A Grand Luo!
A Grand Luo had actually returned to the homeworld, and it was probably because he had brought back the Golden Immortal who had gone to report the news, which was why he was able to return so quickly.
In that very moment, Iron Crutch Li and the other powerful Golden Immortals all twitched as they sensed something. They were about to rise to their feet and speak when a voice spoke beside their ears, "Don't alert anyone else."
… …
A huge ship emanating immortal radiance was drifting with the waves amidst the boundless oceans.
Jiang He was sitting in front of the grill, grilling meat on the deck.
Wang Hou, who was skewering meat and greasing it, looked up at the skies. Stars swirled in his eyes, and a shooting star could be vaguely seen flashing through the starry skies.
"What is it, Minister Wang?"
"A Golden Immortal has entered Earth …"
Wang Hou spoke, a look of doubt in his eyes.
Just now, he seemed to have sensed another aura?
Still, he found nothing after a closer look.
"Was I mistaken?"
"No, how could I be mistaken after cultivating martial arts to my level?" A thought occurred to Wang Hou, and he mused to himself for a moment before saying, "Jiang He, an elite might have entered Earth."
Since he had controlled the Star Map to monitor the stars and could fool him … there was a high chance that it was a Grand Luo.
