477: Internal strife

“What about my Big Brother?!” Chen Teng wasn’t too surprised to learn his own worth.

Not everyone could discern his value; it was just that he usually liked to research things, which led to his Cultivation being somewhat superficial.

Otherwise, with his Forbidden Penguin strength, he would also be among the top-ranked existences among the many favored children of Heaven!

“This one? This one is impressive, at least 500 Immortal Crystals! This old man has been judging people for so long, and has never made a mistake!” When Chen Xuan was mentioned, the old man’s eyes lit up.

The Qi he exuded when he was just preparing to resist him was definitely not something an ordinary Human Immortal could possess. Perhaps, if someone with a lower Cultivation came, they might not even be his opponent!

“What? Only five hundred? You’re joking, right? My Big Brother is…” Chen Teng wanted to say something, but Chen Xuan stopped him with a look.

“Senior, how exactly are the Cultivation Realms in the Immortal Realm divided?”

The elder heard this, smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said, “Are you talking about the Realms after the Great Ascension Stage?”

“Precisely so. Please enlighten me, Senior.”

“Since you want to hear it, this old man will tell you. After the Great Ascension Stage, they are, in order: Human Immortal Realm, True Immortal Realm, Tianxian Realm, Profound Immortal Realm, Golden Immortal Realm, Immortal King Realm, and Immortal Emperor Realm!” The elder said slowly.

“Then what is the difference between these Realms?”

The elder looked up slightly, gazing into the distance, seemingly lost in thought. After a moment, he began to explain:

“Any cultivator who can Breakthrough to the Great Ascension Stage and successfully enter the Human Immortal Realm can already be considered an Immortal. As they continue to Cultivate and advance, starting from the True Immortal Realm, every Realm’s Breakthrough requires overcoming countless difficulties and obstacles.

As for the Tianxian Realm, it is an even rarer existence. The Profound Immortal Realm and Golden Immortal Realm above it are even more difficult to achieve. And when a cultivator finally reaches the Immortal King Realm, they can dominate a region and be revered by tens of thousands.

However, if one can master multiple Laws and achieve the position of Immortal Emperor, then they stand at the peak of the Immortal Realm, looking down upon all living beings!”

“Of course, young friend, don’t look down on the Emperor Realm of an Immortal Emperor. Although Immortal King and Immortal Emperor belong to the same major Realm, the difference in strength between the two is like heaven and earth, a chasm that is difficult to cross!”

As he spoke, a hint of longing involuntarily flashed across the elder’s face, and he murmured to himself:

“Immortal Emperor, ah, that is the supreme Realm that so many people dream of, but unfortunately, throughout history, very few have been able to reach this Realm…”

“Then in the Immortal Realm, is there…”

“Alright, young friend, matters of the Immortal Realm cannot be fully explained in a short while. Let’s prioritize our journey for now. Once we reach our destination, you will naturally understand everything clearly.”

...

Qin Feng and the others were here.

They had just been slapped out by An Yuexi, and now the four of them were sitting together discussing Chen Xuan’s matter.

“No, he’s just a fledgling who just Ascended from the Lower Realm, so why are you guys so timid?

Hmph, in my opinion, I only need to go myself. With a swift strike, I can easily complete this task to Perfection. I really don’t understand what else you have to worry about or be afraid of?” Zhao Tianming looked disdainfully at the three people in front of him, a contemptuous smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

Hearing this, Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and responded calmly, “Haha, Fellow Daoist, if you insist on going to try your hand, then please do so. We will never stop you, Fellow Daoist.” After speaking, he cupped his hands towards Zhao Tianming, indicating an attitude of letting him act freely.

Qin Feng, seeing this, also nodded in agreement and said with a smile, “That’s right, that’s right. Such a world-shaking great merit can probably only be obtained by you, Fellow Daoist!” In his words, he seemed to be full of confidence and praise for Zhao Tianming, but in reality, there was a hidden meaning.

“Get lost, get lost! If you’re going, go quickly. Don’t keep nagging us here!” Tang Sirui directly started to shoo him away.

Clearly, he was already very annoyed by Zhao Tianming’s reckless and impulsive behavior.

One must know that the reason they were able to Cultivate all the way to the Immortal King Realm was definitely not by blindly rushing forward like Zhao Tianming.

After all, even the Time Immortal King was wary of that young man who had just Ascended, and even the Time Immortal King herself did not dare to easily deal with him personally. So, one can imagine what they amounted to in front of that young man. Being able to keep their own lives was already quite good!

Seeing the reactions of the others, Zhao Tianming snorted coldly and said loudly:

“Good, since all of you are so afraid of death and cower, then this master will go alone to meet that ignorant brat!”

With that, he flung his sleeve, resolutely leaving the others behind, and strode quickly towards the direction of the Mining Field.

However, after only a few steps, Zhao Tianming suddenly seemed to remember something, and his footsteps abruptly halted, an awkward expression appearing on his face:

“No, are you really not going to try and persuade me? You’re just going to watch me leave like this?” Zhao Tianming looked at Qin Feng, Ye Xingchen, and Tang Sirui with disbelief, his eyes full of expectation that they would say something.

However, the three of them remained silent, just standing there quietly, as if they hadn’t heard him.

“What do you mean by not speaking? Do you think I’m an idiot?”

“Uh, aren’t you?”

“Fellow Daoist, you go. We really won’t stop you.”

“Shark arm.”

Hearing this, Zhao Tianming trembled with anger and couldn’t help but curse, “You bunch of cowards!” After speaking, he quickened his pace without looking back.

Just like that, Zhao Tianming walked alone for a while.

As he walked, he suddenly felt a sense of alarm, abruptly stopped, and looked back. Not far behind him, Qin Feng, Ye Xingchen, and Tang Sirui were following him unhurriedly.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Tianming was both annoyed and amused. He shouted at the three, “Didn’t you say you weren’t coming? What are you following me for?”

“Nothing, I’m just strolling!”

“Is this your home, damn it? I can come and go as I please, what’s it to you?”

“What are you talking about, Fellow Daoist! You go ahead and scout the way for us, and we’ll support you from behind!”

“If you say that, then I’m not leaving!” Zhao Tianming had an excuse.

“Don’t you want the merit?”

“That’s right, don’t you want to advance further?”

“Pah, shark arm, coward, I should indeed look down on you!” Tang Sirui directly cursed.

Zhao Tianming heard this, his eyes widened in anger, and veins bulged on his forehead:

“Tang Sirui, damn it, I’ve tolerated you for a long time! Today, it’s either you die or I live!” Before his words fell, his figure flashed, like a fierce beast, and he pounced directly towards Tang Sirui.

In that instant, Tang Sirui was not to be outdone. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he dodged sideways, avoiding Zhao Tianming’s fierce attack. However, how could Zhao Tianming give up? He swung a punch with the momentum, bringing forth a gust of wind that went straight for Tang Sirui’s face.

Seeing this, Tang Sirui quickly raised his arm to block. With a muffled “bang,” their fists collided fiercely, stirring up an invisible wave of Qi that spread in all directions. Immediately after, they both retreated a few steps, but quickly moved forward again, engaging in intense close-quarters combat.

One must know that neither of these two were ordinary individuals. Tang Sirui was the Sea God who shook one side, controlling the power of the ocean, able to stir up monstrous waves with a flick of his hand; and Zhao Tianming was the Blood Spring Immortal King of the Law of Blood, his body permeated with blood Qi, and every move he made contained endless power.

At this moment, the two of them were entangled in battle, punching and kicking, refusing to give an inch, truly reaching the extreme.
