Imperial Martial Immortal Continent, Heaven’s Secrets Pavilion.
In the Daoist courtyard, the aged Gu Yinyang sat with his eyes closed.
Shi Wu Shi paced back and forth anxiously.
Nangong Jing stood to the side, eyes tightly shut, his fingers seemingly calculating something.
“Sigh, I wonder if the situation in the Eastern Immortal Realm has been resolved. With the Immortal Emperor of Longevity being so formidable, it should be quick, right?”
Shi Wu Shi scratched his head and spoke anxiously.
He glanced at Gu Yinyang from time to time, his eyes filled with urgency. With only a few months left to live, it was but a blink of an eye for them.
Gu Yinyang opened his eyes and looked at Shi Wu Shi, saying, “You always say I’m eccentric, but it seems you do care about me.”
“Pah! Who cares about you!” Shi Wu Shi retorted with a shiver.
At that moment, Ambrose Lu and his companions appeared in the Daoist courtyard.
“Immortal Emperor of Longevity!”
Shi Wu Shi exclaimed with joy.
Chu Ling Tian and Feng Jiu immediately approached Gu Yinyang, probing him slightly before their pupils contracted.
Gu Yinyang’s lifespan was indeed almost exhausted, frighteningly short.
“Immortal Emperor Yin Yang, you…” Chu Ling Tian’s face showed sorrow; after all, they were old friends.
“Hey, old man, you’re not doing so well,” Old Turtle teased Gu Yinyang, having somewhat understood Ambrose Lu’s plan, showing no worry.
Hearing this, Gu Yinyang gave Old Turtle a bitter smile.
“Immortal Emperor of Longevity, do you have a way to save Yin Yang?”
Shi Wu Shi quickly looked at Ambrose Lu, his eyes filled with hope.
Ambrose Lu didn’t waste words, nodding and saying directly,
“Yes, the method is simple. I just need to send you all to the Ancestral Divine Realm. Prepare yourselves in the next few days, and then follow me to the Divine Path. I’ll break through it for you.”
The method is simple, break through the Divine Path…
Everyone was stunned, but recalling Ambrose Lu’s incredible methods, they believed it.
If anyone in the Four Directions Immortal Realm could break through the Divine Path, it would be none other than the Immortal Emperor of Longevity before them!
However…
“But Immortal Emperor of Longevity… the Divine Path is incredibly far from the Five Immortal Realms. I heard that during the great calamity of the Immortal Realm, it took us six hundred years to return from the Divine Path.”
Shi Wu Shi continued with a bitter face,
“Yin Yang only has a few months left. Wouldn’t he die on the way just after we leave the Five Immortal Realms…”
Hearing this, Gu Yinyang’s eyebrows twitched.
Ambrose Lu glanced at Shi Wu Shi and said calmly, “You don’t need to worry about that.”
Shi Wu Shi immediately fell silent.
Gu Yinyang stood up shakily, bowing in gratitude, “Then I will rely on the Immortal Emperor of Longevity.”
Ambrose Lu looked at him and said softly, “You set up the main hall of the Inspection Hall in the Whirlwind Immortal Continent, blocking the ascension passage privately, violating the Immortal Code I personally drafted. What do you have to say?”
Everyone trembled, silently looking at Gu Yinyang.
Gu Yinyang felt a chill on his scalp. He actually wanted to say, since the Immortal Emperor of Longevity had already destroyed the Inspection Hall, could he just let it go…
Seeing Gu Yinyang’s silence, Ambrose Lu continued, “The first Immortal Code was also drafted by me. Are you saying your Immortal Emperor’s Palace should also be held accountable?”
Gu Yinyang’s eyes changed, bowing and saying bitterly, “The Immortal Emperor of Longevity is right…”
Shi Wu Shi and the others pursed their lips slightly, the atmosphere becoming awkward. They wanted to plead for leniency but, having witnessed Ambrose Lu’s divine power, they dared not.
Ambrose Lu nodded slightly, turning away and saying calmly, “Do you know why I want you to prepare for a few days before going to the Divine Path?”
Everyone shook their heads.
“I’m giving you a few days to properly reorganize your respective Immortal Emperor’s Palaces. Don’t let chaos ensue in the Immortal Realm after you leave for the Ancestral Divine Realm. I won’t have time to manage it, but if I do, your Immortal Emperor’s Palaces won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
Ambrose Lu said slowly.
Everyone looked at each other, hearing the sternness in Ambrose Lu’s indifferent tone, and immediately became serious.
“Rest assured, Immortal Emperor of Longevity!”
The four Immortal Emperors quickly promised.
Ambrose Lu waved his hand, “Go, in five days, come to the Heaven’s Secrets Pavilion to find me. Old Turtle, help Gu Yinyang reorganize his Immortal Emperor’s Palace.”
“Got it, master.”
Old Turtle responded crisply, then called the four Immortal Emperors to leave.
In the Daoist courtyard, only Ambrose Lu and the silent Nangong Jing remained.
“Immortal Emperor, I shall take my leave as well.”
Nangong Jing bowed and was about to turn and leave, giving Ambrose Lu some peace and quiet.
“Nangong Jing, your lifespan is also nearing its end.”
At this moment, Ambrose Lu turned his head and said.
Nangong Jing paused, turned around, his face showing relief, and respectfully smiled, “As the current master of the Heaven’s Secrets Pavilion, it is my fate.”
Ambrose Lu instantly moved in front of him, saying calmly, “Once Gu Yinyang goes to the Ancestral Divine Realm, there will be no suitable candidate for the Immortal Emperor of the Southern Immortal Realm…”
Nangong Jing’s body trembled, looking up at Ambrose Lu in astonishment. As a diviner, he naturally understood Ambrose Lu’s implication!
He bowed gratefully,
“Thank you for your favor, Immortal Emperor of Longevity, but my lifespan is not much longer than Immortal Emperor Yin Yang’s, so…”
“So the next Immortal Emperor of the Southern Immortal Realm will be you.”
Ambrose Lu interrupted, leaving no room for doubt.
Nangong Jing’s eyes widened, but he eventually sighed in resignation.
“You don’t need to worry about your lifespan. You’re different from Gu Yinyang; he burned his lifespan, while yours was taken by the Heavenly Dao. Since that’s the case, just take it back.”
Ambrose Lu said lightly.
Nangong Jing was dumbfounded!
Take it back…
The Heavenly Dao of the Four Directions Immortal Realm, as a diviner, he naturally sensed it, but had never seen it in person!
He knew the Heavenly Dao of the Four Directions Immortal Realm was incredibly formidable, an unparalleled existence. After all, the Four Directions Immortal Realm was vast!
The Heavenly Dao of the Four Directions Immortal Realm was incomparable to the Immortal Emperors of the Five Immortal Realms.
So hearing this from Ambrose Lu, he was utterly shocked!
Nangong Jing even began to doubt Ambrose Lu’s identity… but for some reason, he instinctively believed his words.
“You seem to have some doubts?”
Ambrose Lu smiled.
“Ah, how could that be! I believe every word the Immortal Emperor says, it’s just that…” Nangong Jing quickly said.
“No need for more words, follow me to the Ninth Heaven. Today, I’ll show you the Heavenly Dao of the Four Directions Immortal Realm and have it return your lifespan.”
Ambrose Lu said, taking the bewildered Nangong Jing with him to the sky.
“If it refuses, then we’ll fight.”
