Old Turtle let out a cold snort, his face full of frustration as he vanished into the sky.
Gulp, gulp…
The sound of people swallowing echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
Everyone looked up at the cloudless sky, still somewhat dazed, wondering if they had seen it wrong.
Had the tribulation been scared off by that old man’s words?
When the old man first spoke, they had laughed.
But when he uttered the second sentence, the tribulation vanished in an instant.
This was simply eye-opening. Since when could a tribulation be scared away?
They vaguely remembered the old man mentioning something about his master…
The more they thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.
“Steward, should we still capture him…”
In the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce team, a cultivator asked the two elders in front.
The two elders raised their eyebrows, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Because at this moment, countless strange gazes were fixed on them… as if waiting to see a good show.
“Old Six, let it go. The other side seems quite extraordinary, and you saw that cultivator vanish into the sky in an instant. He must be a Divine Transformation True Lord, and the master he mentioned is even more unimaginable… Anyway, the tribulation didn’t descend, so we didn’t lose anything. Let’s just drop it for now.”
One of the elders transmitted his voice.
Old Six stared at the Nameless Tavern, his eyes flickering. He then scanned the crowd, forcing a smile and loudly said,
“Hehe, since the tribulation didn’t descend today, our Tianyun Chamber of Commerce didn’t suffer any loss. Naturally, we won’t pursue it further. Everyone, disperse!”
After saying this, the two elders led their followers away quickly, not wanting to stay a moment longer.
Once they were gone, the cultivators present began to discuss fervently.
“They left in such a hurry. Tianyun Chamber of Commerce is obviously scared.”
“What else could they do? They’re businessmen, after all. They care about benefits. Going head-to-head with a Divine Transformation True Lord brings them no advantage. It’s better to swallow their pride and cut their losses.”
“Speaking of which, that Divine Transformation True Lord actually has a master… Scaring off a tribulation, unprecedented and shocking. When did such a figure appear in the Spirit Dust Realm?”
“Tch, if you ask me, it wasn’t scared off. There must be some other unknown reason for the tribulation to retreat.”
“Indeed, Daoist Friend, I share your view. I don’t believe the tribulation was scared away.”
“…”
The cultivators all spoke at once, with most thinking it was just a coincidence.
After all, their subconscious minds wouldn’t allow them to believe what they had just witnessed. If a tribulation could truly be scared away, their worldview would collapse.
…
“Master, it’s done.”
Old Turtle returned to the pavilion, respectfully speaking to Ambrose Lu before sitting down and pouring himself a cup of wine, looking frustrated.
He completely ignored the stunned Chu Xiruo and Mark Gu.
Chu Xiruo recalled what she had just seen and heard, and couldn’t help but cast a difficult glance at Ambrose Lu. “Daoist Friend, aren’t you afraid of being hunted by the Heavenly Dao?”
“Not afraid,” Ambrose Lu said indifferently, then stood up. “We’ll rest at your tavern for two days. Then you’ll come with us to the Western Region.”
Seeing Ambrose Lu stand up, Old Turtle and Mark Gu quickly followed suit.
The Western Region?
Chu Xiruo was taken aback but quickly understood. This young man intended to act on the day the ancestor of the Carefree Courtyard in the Western Region ascended!
“Alright, I’ll rely on you then, Daoist Friend!”
Chu Xiruo also stood up, solemnly cupping her hands, her eyes rippling with emotion. She finally had a chance to return to the Four Directions Immortal Realm.
Ambrose Lu nodded and prepared to leave the pavilion.
“Daoist Friends, my name is Chu Xiruo. May I know your esteemed names?” Chu Xiruo asked with a smile.
Old Turtle glanced at Ambrose Lu, then inexplicably said, “My master is named Ambrose Lu. As for me, you can call me Daoist Turtle.”
Ambrose Lu?!
Chu Xiruo’s pupils shrank, and she was stunned.
Isn’t that the name of the Immortal Emperor of Longevity…
“Daoist Friend… your name…” Chu Xiruo hesitated.
Old Turtle waved his hand and frowned. “What’s the big deal? The Four Directions Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, with countless beings. It’s not that rare for my master to have the same name as the Immortal Emperor of Longevity, right? Besides, it’s not like the Immortal Emperor of Longevity has decreed that no one can share his name. You look quite pretty, why are you so nosy?”
Chu Xiruo relaxed, pursing her lips. “Sorry.”
Ambrose Lu said nothing, and in the next moment, he, Old Turtle, and Mark Gu disappeared from the scene.
Chu Xiruo shook her head. Indeed, the Immortal Emperor of Longevity hadn’t decreed anything about names, so sharing the same name wasn’t a big deal.
But what puzzled her was… even though the Immortal Emperor of Longevity hadn’t decreed anything, it didn’t mean anyone would dare to take the same name as him, right? There was always a taboo in their hearts.
She knew that in the Four Directions Immortal Realm, there were very few who dared to take the same name as the Immortal Emperor, especially among cultivators, who had more taboos. It was more common among mortals.
But that young man and the old man were clearly not mortals…
“Sigh, it seems the Immortal Emperor of Longevity has been gone for too long, and many have lost their sense of reverence.”
Chu Xiruo couldn’t help but sigh. That Ambrose Lu, who shared the same name as the Immortal Emperor of Longevity, was probably the same.
“But the Immortal Emperor of Longevity…”
Chu Xiruo murmured again, her eyes misty.
She was just a small Earth Immortal, with a lifespan of only thirty thousand years.
And the Immortal Emperor of Longevity had been missing from the Four Directions Immortal Realm for over a million years…
No one knew if he was alive or dead.
With the relentless passage of time, many in the Four Directions Immortal Realm had long forgotten the once peerless Immortal Emperor of Longevity.
The four Immortal Emperors still in the Four Directions Immortal Realm had also lived for millions of years, and their lifespans seemed to be running out.
For some reason, news of those four Immortal Emperors had also become rare.
…
“Kid, what are you daydreaming about?”
In the room, Old Turtle looked at Mark Gu and scolded.
“Uh.” Mark Gu snapped back to reality and smiled sheepishly. “Senior Turtle, I wasn’t daydreaming.”
His mind was actually a mess, filled with thoughts about the blocked ascension passage, the Four Directions Immortal Realm, the Immortal Emperor of Longevity, and so on.
And the situation with the demon realms was still uncertain, with so many complicated matters…
“By the way, Senior Turtle, when we’re watching the Ascension Tribulation in the Western Region, won’t the demon realms take the opportunity to start a war?”
Thinking of this, Mark Gu suddenly stood up!
Old Turtle glanced at him meaningfully and said, “Some things, if you can’t figure them out, don’t think about them. Just go with the flow.”
Old Turtle turned around and said, “As for the demon realms starting a war, that’s your own business. After what happened earlier, you should know that my master and I are from the Four Directions Immortal Realm.”
“Although my master is ‘human,’ it doesn’t mean he has to intervene. Worlds like your Spirit Dust Realm are countless, and my master can’t manage them all. But as long as you get along well with my master and your Grandpa Turtle, it’s a small matter.”
Mark Gu was stunned again, his worldview infinitely expanded. Worlds like the Spirit Dust Realm were countless…
