Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The wind howled.
Ambrose Lu stood with his hands behind his back, silent.
Nangong Jing stood respectfully behind him.
His eyes flickered slightly, as Ambrose had not moved or spoken for a long while.
He was puzzled.
But in the next moment, Nangong Jing’s eyes widened!
He saw a colossal shadow slowly condensing in front of him…
“Immortal Emperor of Longevity.”
A voice ancient and solemn echoed in his ears.
Nangong Jing knew this voice came from the colossal shadow.
Could it be…
He looked at the colossal shadow in disbelief.
Ambrose Lu spoke directly, “Return the lifespan he lost while peering into the secrets of heaven.”
The colossal shadow seemed to pause at Ambrose’s directness.
After a moment, it said, “Immortal Emperor of Longevity, peering into the secrets of heaven always comes at a price…”
Ambrose Lu waved his sleeve slightly and said calmly, “I currently hold the position of Immortal Emperor in the Central Immortal Realm. Nangong Jing’s peering into the secrets of heaven is indirectly helping me. Do you understand?”
The colossal shadow wavered for a moment before saying, “Very well, I will give the Immortal Emperor of Longevity this face… But once he breaks through to become an Immortal Emperor, this lifespan…”
Ambrose Lu smiled, “Once Nangong Jing breaks through to become an Immortal Emperor, you can naturally take back the lifespan.”
Nangong Jing was stunned.
Is this even possible… Isn’t this basically cheating?
When he becomes an Immortal Emperor, his lifespan will increase dramatically, and returning what was borrowed will be nothing.
“Then go ahead and return his lifespan,” Ambrose Lu said quietly.
The colossal shadow nodded,
Nangong Jing suddenly felt a surge of powerful vitality pouring into his body, revitalizing everything that had been withered.
“Thank you, Immortal Emperor of Longevity, thank you, Lord Heavenly Dao…”
Nangong Jing bowed in gratitude.
The colossal shadow ignored Nangong Jing and looked at Ambrose Lu, hesitating before saying, “Immortal Emperor of Longevity, a massive hole has appeared in one of the boundary walls of the Four Directions Immortal Realm…”
Ambrose Lu’s eyes flashed, knowing it was caused by his punch in the Southern Immortal Realm. He smiled, “What do you mean?”
The colossal shadow wavered, then gradually faded away…
“Nothing… Just hoping that the Immortal Emperor of Longevity will hold back a bit in the future. The Four Directions Immortal Realm can’t withstand such torment… A few more punches, and it will be riddled with holes. It will be quite troublesome for me to repair.”
Nangong Jing was utterly shocked, but the next moment, his vision went black.
When his sight returned, he was back in the Daoist courtyard.
“Leave, I need to rest.”
After speaking, Ambrose Lu walked inside.
“Yes…”
Nangong Jing took a deep look at Ambrose’s back, bowed respectfully, and turned to leave the courtyard, his heart filled with awe.
The Heavenly Dao of the Four Directions Immortal Realm was so submissive in front of the Immortal Emperor of Longevity. At this moment, Nangong Jing would believe it if someone said Ambrose Lu was the father of the Heavenly Dao.
Especially those last words from the Heavenly Dao, they were truly terrifying.
What did he mean by a few punches would leave the Four Directions Immortal Realm riddled with holes… That was too terrifying.
But Nangong Jing knew, at the level of the Heavenly Dao, there would be no idle jokes…
The Immortal Emperor of Longevity was indeed unfathomable.
…
Langtian Domain, White Moon Sect.
“Junior Brother Gu, what’s wrong with you? Why have you been in a daze every day since that day?”
Wu Che and Hai Dong looked at Mark Gu in confusion.
Mark Gu snapped out of it, “Ah, oh, Senior Brothers.”
“What’s wrong with you?” Hai Dong stared at him closely.
Mark Gu swallowed and forced a smile, “It’s nothing, just that I’m still overwhelmed by the divine might of the Immortal Emperor of Longevity…”
Hearing this, Wu Che and Hai Dong sighed in relief. So that’s what it was, it was understandable.
Not just Mark Gu, they often found themselves overwhelmed by that divine might too.
That earth-shattering punch still made them shiver.
They realized that attacks could be so violent and straightforward, without any complicated seals or techniques, just a simple punch.
“So that’s it, it’s understandable. But Junior Brother Gu, don’t let this shake your Dao heart and hinder your cultivation! The Immortal Emperor of Longevity is a unique existence in all eternity,” Hai Dong sighed.
Mark Gu was silent. He had actually wanted to seek out Ambrose Lu, but after that day, he didn’t dare.
He remembered when Christopher Tong once asked Ambrose Lu what level he was in the Immortal Realm.
Who would have thought… he was at the very top.
“Senior Brothers, you might not believe it, but I once had the honor of drinking with the Immortal Emperor of Longevity.”
Mark Gu said proudly.
Wu Che and Hai Dong were shocked!!!
The two of them flew away in a hurry, their anxious shouts startling countless birds in the forest.
“Master, Master, Junior Brother Gu has gone mad!!”
…
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Imperial Martial Continent, Heaven’s Secrets Pavilion.
Outside the Daoist courtyard, Old Turtle, Chu Ling Tian, and other Immortal Emperors, along with the members of Heaven’s Secrets Pavilion, stood waiting.
Old Turtle glanced at Chu Ling Tian and the others, then stepped forward respectfully, “Master, the various Immortal Realms have been reorganized. We can set off on the Divine Path now.”
After a moment, a figure in cyan cloth appeared.
Ambrose Lu glanced at everyone, then looked in a direction and said calmly, “Since everything is ready, let’s set off on the Divine Path.”
With that, he waved his sleeve!
Immediately, a pitch-black portal appeared!
At this moment, Gu Yinyang looked at Nangong Jing and smiled, “Nangong, the Immortal Emperor of Longevity’s intentions are clear to me. Once I ascend to the Ancestral Divine Realm, the Southern Immortal Realm will rely on you.”
With that, he pushed the shining Immortal Emperor’s Order towards Nangong Jing.
Nangong Jing received it with both hands and bowed, “Immortal Emperor Yin Yang, rest assured.”
The members of Heaven’s Secrets Pavilion were dumbfounded. What was happening?
Their Pavilion Master was going to become the Immortal Emperor of the Southern Immortal Realm? But wasn’t the Pavilion Master running out of lifespan?
They looked at Nangong Jing, their eyes filled with confusion!
“Let’s go.”
Ambrose Lu said, then stepped into the black portal.
Old Turtle and the others followed suit!
“We respectfully send off the Immortal Emperors, wishing you a smooth journey!!”
Nangong Jing and the members of Heaven’s Secrets Pavilion bowed and shouted in unison.
When they looked up, the black portal had disappeared, along with the figures of Ambrose Lu and the others.
“Pavilion Master, why are you becoming an Immortal Emperor? Weren’t you running out of lifespan?”
The members of Heaven’s Secrets Pavilion immediately looked at Nangong Jing, full of confusion.
Nangong Jing smiled, his body shook, and suddenly, a vast vitality burst forth!
Everyone was shocked!
“You don’t need to think too much. This lifespan was retrieved by the Immortal Emperor of Longevity from the Heavenly Dao.”
Nangong Jing shook his head in reverence.
“Hiss—”
The members of Heaven’s Secrets Pavilion looked at each other in astonishment.
