Chapter 1270: Senior, Please Rest At The Jade Cloud Pavilion For A Few Days (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was a little unusual for them to arrive together.

These people approached them when they saw them but did not start a conversation.

Jiang Hao introduced himself. He hoped that these people would cooperate with him.

This time, he wanted to dig for mines. It would be great if he could break through and advance.

Before the Great Era arrived, he had to go overseas again.

He had, at most, ten years.

The middle-aged man at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm nodded and introduced himself. “Duan Tiancheng of the Hundred Bones Forest.”

“Lu Baiye of the Hundred Bones Forest.”

Next were the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

One of them was from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion, and the other three were from the Ice Moon Valley.

“We’re missing two more people.” Jiang Hao looked outside.

This time, a person in a wheelchair appeared. Behind him was a person pushing the wheelchair.

Jiang Hao’s lips curled up in a smile.

The person in the wheelchair was Bai Ye of the Hundred Bones Forest, who was in the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. The one pushing the wheelchair was Lian Qin, who was at the peak of the Golden Core Realm and from the Hundred Bones Forest as well.

This time, most people were from the Hundred Bones Forest and Ice Moon Valley.

He had not expected Bai Ye to join.

He seemed reluctant to participate.

“Senior Brother Bai,” said Jiang Hao in greeting.

“Apologies for being late, Junior Brother Jiang,” said Bai Ye with a smile.

He had not planned to come but had no choice in the end, as there was no one to replace him.

Even though he did not feel like there was any immediate danger, he did not want to take the risk, especially with Jiang Hao.

“It’s not time yet,” Jiang Hao said.

After that, he signaled the start of the mission and rode away on his sword.

The others followed closely behind.

The only problem this time was that there were others at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm who seemed dissatisfied with not being chosen as the leader of the team.

Such people were common, but with Jiang Hao in the Primordial Spirit Realm, there should not be any problem.

One less person would not matter.

He had to settle it as soon as possible before returning to the sect.

Staying outside the sect for a long time was dangerous.

He was not sure if there were any desperate immortals roaming the southern region.

Encountering five True Immortals again would be troublesome.

…

Overseas, a few days after the incident, the news spread across various sea regions.

The Heavenly Tower received the news immediately.

Mr. Tao had been refining his cultivation, but he had no choice but to leave after receiving the news.

The first person he looked for was Chi Tian.

Chi Tian, who was drinking tea to pass the time, was surprised to see Mr. Tao looking for him.

“You just became an immortal. Although your cultivation realm is stable, you still need to refine it. You’re already stronger than most immortals now,” Chi Tian remarked.

“It’s all thanks to your guidance,” Mr. Tao replied with a smile. Then, he sat down to make tea. “I have some news for you.”

At that moment, Zhu Shen and Tang Ya also arrived.

They were surprised to see Mr. Tao out of seclusion.

“What is it?” Chi Tian was curious.

“It’s about Smiling San Sheng. He apparently came overseas a few days ago and was discovered. A major battle ensued,” Mr. Tao said.

“It’s normal for people to target him. He has many enemies, and many want to know his secrets,” said Chi Tian without much thought.

Underestimating Smiling San Sheng would surely backfire.

Middle to late-stage Immortal Humans trying to take on Smiling San Sheng were asking for trouble.

Mr. Tao continued, “Five people went after him: one middle-stage True Immortal, three late-stage True Immortals, and one at the peak of the True Immortal Realm.”

“What?!” Chi Tian’s hand paused at his teacup. “Such a line-up to deal with someone who just became an immortal? Did they capture or… kill him?”

“He escaped,” Mr. Tao said with a smile.

Chi Tian sighed in relief. “Fate sometimes works in circles.”

He recalled when he and Gu Jin became immortals and immediately teamed up to kill a middle-stage Immortal Human who had long offended them.

This provoked the old ancestor of the target, a True Immortal, who chased them for six months. They only escaped by finding a secret realm.

The new Gu Jin was being hunted at the present.

“Is he still on the run?” Chi Tian asked.

It was time to show his brother some warmth and help out. It was time to revive the reputation of the first Gu Jin.

Mr. Tao shook his head. “Senior, you misunderstood. The Five Demons failed to corner Smiling San Sheng, who killed one of them and then left.”

“Impossible!” Chi Tian did not quite believe it. “He just became an immortal. How could he kill a True Immortal, especially when surrounded by five such experts?”

Mr. Tao sighed. He did not believe it either, but that was the news he received. “Smiling San Sheng has reached the early stage of the True Immortal Realm.”

Chi Tian frowned. ‘True Immortal Realm? Impossible!’ He thought.

He had seen him not so long ago.

At most, he would be at the late stage or peak of the Immortal Human Realm.

The transition from Human Immortal to True Immortal required a profound understanding of immortal essence—a complete metamorphosis.

Who consolidates their cultivation and then has a breakthrough right away?

Such epiphanies were not that easy to come by.

“So… Smiling San Sheng killed someone and left?” Chi Tian asked.

Mr. Tao nodded.

“The ones who attacked him were the Five Demons. I wonder if you’ve heard of them, Senior?”

“The overseas demons… The previous Twelve Heavenly Kings. It’s said they were very bold. I heard they were quite daring, collectively severing their connection to the twelve sea regions’ fortune. Unfortunately, seven of them died in the process.” Chi Tian sighed.

He had been in the Jade Cloud Pavilion for so many years and had heard a lot of things.

Mr. Tao nodded. “Yes, but they came out this time. It’s a bit surprising. There has never been an Immortal Human or higher who has dared to show themselves openly overseas. Their attack on Smiling San Sheng was clearly an attempt to gain something from him. Now, having failed, they might lash out in shame and cause trouble for everyone. And the timing couldn’t be worse. It’s right before the Great Era.”

“So, you want me to intervene on the Heavenly Tower’s behalf?” Chi Tian asked.

“Yes. To thank you, we’d like to invite you to rest at the Jade Cloud Pavilion tonight so that you’re in top shape to deal with the remaining four of the Five Demons. If you can deal with the four of them, we’ll extend the invitation to the Jade Cloud Pavilion for four or five days for your hard work,” said Mr. Tao.

Chi Tian replied righteously, “Although we aren’t brothers, you treat me better than my own brother does. I’ll handle this for you. How many tonight?”

“Two,” Mr. Tao said.

Chi Tian stood up and patted Mr. Tao on the shoulder. He said seriously, “Come to me if you need anything. Few would dare disrespect me. If my name isn’t enough, I’ll find someone bigger And more powerful to back you up. I’ll sort it out for you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go rest.”

Chi Tian then left.

Mr. Tao sighed.

Then, he looked at Zhu Shen. “Gather information on the whereabouts of the Five Demons and be cautious. They’ve been famous for years, and their sudden appearance will attract attention in the sea regions.”

Having become an immortal, Mr. Tao understood deeply how troublesome the Five Demons could be if they caused chaos.

Normally, such powerful beings would not appear recklessly.

If they dragged people into trouble, it would be serious.

No one openly could stop them.

Luckily, they had Senior Chi Tian here, who made them feel a little at peace.

Could they really survive after offending Smiling San Sheng?

He was formidable and powerful experts backed him up.

And if he was indeed the one who became immortal back then, then…

His progress was too fast.

In the blink of an eye, he had become a True Immortal.

Even someone as talented as Zhang might only be in the middle stage of the Immortal Human Realm. She might not even have advanced beyond that.

…

The Shangguan Clan also received news about Smiling San Sheng.

“Smiling San Sheng was surrounded and fled?” Shangguan Qicheng was a little delighted.

“Looks like Smiling San Sheng isn’t invincible, after all. After becoming an immortal, he was still beaten up like this. We’re all immortals, but the number one in history is hyped up so much. It seems like he isn’t any better than ordinary immortals. When he became an immortal, I thought he was so powerful that no one could suppress him. Who knew he couldn’t even handle five immortals?”

“Indeed,” an elder in the hall said. “Our Shangguan Clan has records of an immortal who faced five immortals head-on. They were evenly matched. He fought them to a standstill and retreated when he had no other choice. He became famous after that battle. Those five could only watch as he left.”

The Shangguan Clan felt a little at ease at their decision to not maintain a friendship with Smiling San Sheng.

The so-called greatest of all time was not so powerful after all.

Even after becoming an immortal, he still suffered defeat.
