216: Invincible in the lower realm, yet enemies come from the upper realm?

As soon as the other person finished speaking, Feng Ming felt his head buzz.

"Holy crap, calling me the Lower Realm... doesn't that mean she's from the Upper Realm?"

"But the question is, where is the Upper Realm, and what kind of existence is the Lower Realm?"

At this moment, Feng Ming couldn't help but think about the Immortal Worship Assembly that Lu An'an had told him about earlier.

If there was such a thing as the Upper Realm, then it must be where the Immortals lived.

Feng Ming even wondered, could there really be a Three-Story Building in this world?

And if the place he belonged to was called the Lower Realm, did it belong to the Second Floor or the First Floor?

If that were the case, the existence of the Immortal Worship Assembly would make sense.

But this was still enough to shock Feng Ming to his core.

After all, when he heard about the Immortal Worship Assembly before, he had only treated it as a story, thinking it was just a symbolic activity, similar to praying for blessings.

But now, Feng Ming realized that this wasn't just an activity; there was actually something to it.

In other words, King Haoyue possessed knowledge or things that ordinary Cultivators couldn't access.

For example, matters related to the Upper Realm.

Seeing that Feng Ming didn't speak, the other person asked, "You're silent; are you admitting it?"

Feng Ming swallowed hard and said.

"I didn't say I wasn't! But what do you mean by the Lower Realm? Are you an Upper Realm Immortal?"

The other person spoke calmly, "I'm not exactly an Immortal, but I am indeed from the Upper Realm. You must be from the Bright Moon Dynasty."

Feng Ming was surprised; he hadn't expected the other party to be so clear about this.

"That's right! How did you know?"

The other person chuckled, "King Haoyue is the Lord of the Lower Realm, and you live in the Lower Realm. Is that so hard to guess?"

"It's just, does King Haoyue know that you've come for Starry Sky Enlightenment?"

Feng Ming was stunned, "What if he knows? What if he doesn't?"

Then, the other person lowered her voice and said, "If he knows, then pretend I never said anything. From now on, we'll mind our own business—you do your enlightenment, and I'll do mine."

"If he doesn't know, I have some advice for you."

Feng Ming was taken aback. There was a distinction like that?

"What advice?"

"You want to know? But first, you must swear a Blood Oath to prove that everything you've said is true; otherwise, I won't tell you."

Feng Ming was a bit bewildered. This didn't seem like such a big deal, yet she wanted him to swear a Blood Oath.

But what was the point?

Was she afraid he was lying to her?

However, Feng Ming was fearless. After all, what he said was the truth. He hadn't even told his wife about something as important as Starry Sky Enlightenment.

What did King Haoyue matter?

Thinking of this, Feng Ming cooperatively swore a Blood Oath.

Seeing Feng Ming so cooperative, the other person suddenly became a bit excited.

King Xia really doesn't know!

Thinking that he had nothing to lose anyway, Feng Ming swore the Blood Oath on the spot.

Seeing Feng Ming so cooperative, the woman also suddenly became excited.

"It seems King Haoyue really doesn't know. But that's normal; being able to achieve Starry Sky Enlightenment is a rare opportunity. You must never tell King Haoyue about this, or you'll be dead for sure."

Feng Ming was somewhat puzzled, "Why? Am I not his subject?"

The other person chuckled, "Don't think too highly of yourself. In his eyes, subjects are no different from pigs or dogs; he can kill you whenever he wants."

"Just like the sheep in your pen, you can be taken to be sliced for meat at any time. I'm telling you not to tell him because he himself doesn't have the ability to achieve Starry Sky Enlightenment!"

"An ordinary man is innocent, but treasuring a jade ring makes him guilty. If he knew you could achieve Starry Sky Enlightenment while he couldn't, how do you think he would feel?"

Feng Ming frowned, not quite understanding what this Fairy was thinking.

He didn't overthink it and asked directly, "I understand the issue you mentioned, and I wouldn't be stupid enough to go around talking about such an important matter. But doesn't he worship you every year? How could he..."

"If he knew that a sheep in his pen could actually achieve Starry Sky Enlightenment, what kind of reaction do you think he'd have?"

Feng Ming didn't sense any pity for King Haoyue in her words; instead, there was a hint of resentment.

Could it be that King Haoyue's flattery had backfired?

The other person chuckled, "King Haoyue does indeed hold the Immortal Worship Assembly and worships Immortals, but not us."

Feng Ming half-understood and continued to probe, "Then you mean there are many Immortals in the Upper Realm, and he either didn't worship the right ones or didn't worship them all?"

It's better to overlook an entire village than to snub a single household; clearly, showing favoritism had offended someone.

Feng Ming asked tentatively, "You mean there are many Immortals in the Upper Realm?"

"You don't need to fish for information. If you want to know about the Upper Realm, you can just ask me directly. Meeting through Starry Sky Enlightenment is fate!"

"To tell you the truth, even in the entire Upper Realm, you are only the third person besides me and my Revered Master who can achieve Starry Sky Enlightenment!"

"Moreover, the fact that you can achieve Starry Sky Enlightenment with a Lower Realm body shows that you have extraordinary talent. As long as someone like you doesn't die, you will surely rise in the future. So, whatever you want to know, I can tell you. Consider it forming a good relationship."

"I'm just someone from the Lower Realm, and you're from the Upper Realm. Is that really necessary?"

The other person said, "I told you just now, it's true that I'm from the Upper Realm, but I'm not an Immortal. There are no Immortals in the Upper Realm either. It's just that compared to you, we live a bit longer and are more powerful, but we still grow old and die."

Feng Ming suddenly realized, "In that case, what price must I pay for the Fairy to clear my doubts?"

Feng Ming didn't believe the other party would be so generous just for a so-called good relationship.

Where there is giving, there must be receiving; he understood this very well!

The woman laughed, "You're quite perceptive. If you insist on a reward, then when you rise in the future and are qualified to participate in the Immortal Worship Assembly, choose our Ethereal Palace."

Ethereal Palace?

For some reason, when Feng Ming heard this name, an image of a woman in white clothes with fluttering sleeves naturally appeared in his mind.

"Your Sect wouldn't happen to only accept female Disciples and no male Disciples, would it?"

The other person was momentarily speechless, "You're overthinking it. We don't look at gender when recruiting Disciples; we look at the strength of their Divine Sense."

Feng Ming felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing this. Indeed, Divine Sense was ethereal and untraceable, which fit the name.

"Then I'm sorry, I misunderstood. It's mainly because my physique isn't strong enough. I was afraid that if I went to a Sect full of beauties, I wouldn't be able to handle being put through the wringer by the Fairy Sisters."

"You really are narcissistic," the other person said crossly.

She spoke with a hint of annoyance.

Feng Ming didn't feel like joking with her anymore, as there was too much he wanted to understand.

He immediately poured out all the questions in his heart.

"Fairy Sister, are there many Schools in your Upper Realm? What are they? And does the Immortal Worship Assembly have anything to do with you? Where do you all live?..."

If he could, Feng Ming would have liked to ask everything, including how to get to the Upper Realm and where the passage was.
