“Of course, the Five Immortal Realms are vast beyond measure. We are currently in the Southern Immortal Realm, specifically in the Langtian Domain of the Whirlwind Immortal Continent. And even Langtian Domain is just a small border region.”
Hai Dong smiled warmly.
Ignoring the bewildered looks of Christopher Tong and the others, Mark Gu laughed and said, “Alright, let’s head back to my courtyard. We can drink and chat, and I’ll explain everything to you.”
“Yes, Master.”
A moment later, in Mark Gu’s courtyard.
Six figures sat around a stone table.
The aroma of wine filled the air, making everyone feel relaxed and happy.
“Hehe, Master, the wine in the Immortal Realm is really good.”
Christopher Tong took a big gulp, looking at the liquid in his cup with a silly smile.
“If you like it, drink more.”
Mark Gu shook his head with a smile.
In the past, back in the Spirit Dust Realm, due to his status, he rarely drank with his disciples. Now that they had ascended to the Immortal Realm, they had all grown up…
“Hehe, will do.”
Christopher picked up the wine jug and poured drinks for Mark Gu, Hai Dong, and Wu Che, then for Leonard Lin and Andrew Chen, and finally for himself. He raised his cup to everyone and drank happily.
Hai Dong and Wu Che couldn’t help but laugh at Christopher’s antics. He really was a lively character.
“Master, Senior Uncles, since we are new here, could you tell us more about the Immortal Realm?”
Andrew Chen respectfully raised his cup and asked.
Hearing this, Leonard Lin and Christopher Tong quickly perked up their ears to listen.
“Haha, let your Uncle Hai tell you.”
Hai Dong put down his cup and began, clearing his throat.
“The Immortal Realm…”
Over the next half an incense stick’s time, Hai Dong introduced the vast and unknown Four Directions Immortal Realm, the structure of the Five Immortal Realms, the myriad sects and powers, and the cultivation levels within the Immortal Realm.
Christopher Tong and the others were left dumbfounded, forgetting even to drink their wine, listening as if in a dream.
They had thought the Spirit Dust Realm was already quite large, but they never imagined the Four Directions Immortal Realm could be so unimaginably vast!
Not to mention the unknown regions beyond the Five Immortal Realms, even the Southern Immortal Realm alone was incredibly expansive.
And the terrifying levels of cultivation, just hearing about them was enough to make one shudder.
They had just arrived and hadn’t even stabilized their Earth Immortal first rank, let alone the seven major realms that followed.
The Immortal Realm truly was filled with countless powerful beings.
And those at the Immortal Emperor level, there were only five in the entire Five Immortal Realms, each ruling over their respective realms, truly terrifying.
For beings of that level, they probably didn’t even have the right to look up to them.
A single thought from such a being could likely wipe out countless White Moon Sects.
Seeing the dazed looks on their faces, Mark Gu, Hai Dong, and Wu Che exchanged knowing smiles.
This was normal. It was perfectly natural for those who had just ascended from the lower realms to the Immortal Realm to have such reactions.
“Below Great Luo, all are inferior…”
Christopher Tong murmured, then suddenly asked, “Master, you’ve been in the Immortal Realm for over a thousand years. Have you ever seen the gentleman?”
Leonard Lin and Andrew Chen’s eyes sharpened, looking at Mark Gu.
Mark Gu fell silent for a moment before saying, “I’ve seen him from afar once.”
Hai Dong and Wu Che were also puzzled. They didn’t understand who this gentleman was, despite hearing Mark Gu mention him often over the years.
Seen from afar once?
Christopher Tong and the others exchanged bewildered glances.
“Then why didn’t you go up and greet him, Master? Do you know where the gentleman is now? Is he doing well?” Christopher asked expectantly.
Ambrose Lu had done them a great favor.
Now that they had ascended to the Immortal Realm, they naturally wanted to repay him if they had the chance.
“Uh…” Mark Gu’s eyes flickered.
Seeing this, Christopher Tong and the others grew suspicious.
“Master, back in the Spirit Dust Realm, I once naively asked about the gentleman’s strength in the Immortal Realm…” Christopher sighed softly, continuing with self-reproach,
“But after hearing Uncle Hai’s description of the Immortal Realm, I realized how vast and filled with powerful beings it is. Could my previous words have hurt the gentleman?”
Mark Gu paused, giving him a speechless look as if to say he was overthinking it.
“The gentleman once said that when we arrived in the Four Directions Immortal Realm, we would know his strength here…” Mark Gu said, pursing his lips, “But the only information we have about him is his name, so… what’s the gentleman’s full name?”
Christopher Tong and the others bowed and said in unison, “The gentleman’s surname is Lu, given name Ambrose.”
Clang!
Hai Dong and Wu Che froze, their wine cups falling from their hands without them noticing.
“Uncle Hai, Uncle Wu, what’s wrong?” Christopher asked curiously.
“N-Nothing…”
Hai Dong and Wu Che snapped back to reality, thinking it was just a coincidence of names, but their hands trembled as they picked up their cups again.
“Oh.” Christopher responded, his eyes subtly scanning their trembling fingers.
At that moment, Christopher Tong and the others clearly sensed that the atmosphere had become tense.
Mark Gu gave Hai Dong and Wu Che a discreet glance, understanding their reaction.
He then looked at Christopher Tong and the others and continued, “Since you know the gentleman’s name, and considering what he said before, you three can go to any city outside and ask around. You’ll find out everything about him…”
Hearing this, Christopher Tong and the others hadn’t yet moved or spoken, but Hai Dong and Wu Che’s faces changed drastically!!
They stood up abruptly, staring at Mark Gu, recalling the times they had thought Mark Gu’s words were crazy, their voices dry and shaky,
“Brother Gu… you’re not joking, are you?”
“Do you know that speaking recklessly about that person, if overheard by someone with ill intentions, could bring our White Moon Sect to utter ruin!”
Christopher Tong and the others were stunned. Wu Che and Hai Dong’s reaction was too abnormal, and they vaguely understood something but hadn’t fully grasped it.
Mark Gu shook his head, straightened his clothes, and slowly stood up. He raised his hands in a respectful gesture above his head and said solemnly,
“The gentleman is the supreme being of the Central Immortal Realm, titled Immortality, the number one in the Immortal Realm.”
Hai Dong and Wu Che’s pupils contracted sharply!
Christopher Tong, Leonard Lin, and Andrew Chen were left in a daze, their faces growing paler and paler.
Titled Immortality, the number one in the Immortal Realm…
Seeing their expressions, Mark Gu sighed, “Now you know the gentleman’s strength in the Immortal Realm, right? Meeting him was a blessing we four disciples must have accumulated over countless lifetimes.”
Mark Gu looked at them understandingly. After all, it had taken him a long time to calm his own turbulent and anxious heart when he first learned the truth.
The courtyard fell silent, everyone still lost in their thoughts.
Their hearts pounded, their souls trembled,
Tap, tap, tap…
At that moment, the sound of light footsteps echoed in the courtyard, as if a magical force had pulled everyone out of their daze.
They turned their heads in unison.
A man in cyan cloth, hands behind his back, with a smile as warm as spring, quietly approached the stone table.
Mark Gu and the others looked incredulous, their pupils contracting repeatedly, their bodies trembling.
Instinctively, they called out, “Sir…”
