444: Chapter 444 Taiyi Taishang, Boarding the Ship

Immortal Realm.

Taiyi Immortal Sect.

This was a series of immortal mountains floating above a sea of clouds.

The plaza was paved with Ten-thousand-year Immortal Jade, shimmering with radiant light.

Surrounding it were 108,000 immortal peaks piercing the sky, with immortal mist churning and cranes crying out.

In the center of the plaza hung the Taiji Immortal Platform, wreathed in purple mist, with Immortal Qi so thick it was liquid.

The palace eaves were upturned, carved with dragons and phoenixes, and ethereal immortal music drifted through the air.

"Buzz!"

The Taiji Immortal Platform shook as figures flew out one after another.

"Is this... the Immortal Realm?"

Someone spoke with a trembling voice, eyes wide, their Divine Soul shaken to the core.

The Prodigies of Noble Families, who usually prided themselves on their vast knowledge, now felt like frogs at the bottom of a well.

The immortal mist melted upon touching their clothes, and the exotic fragrance entered their bodies, instantly clearing their Meridians.

Although they couldn't absorb this power and convert it into immortal energy, the Spiritual Qi within it was terrifyingly potent, melting into their bodies with an absurd level of purity.

Everyone stood dazed on the spot, their hearts and minds intoxicated.

Immortal Realm, outside the Taiyi Immortal Sect plaza.

"What are you standing there for now that you've arrived? Board the ship immediately!"

A Taiyi Immortal Sect Disciple shouted harshly, his face full of impatience.

"Be quick about it!"

"If our Sect Master hadn't been merciful enough to grant you ants a place, you wouldn't even be able to touch the edge of an immortal ship. Don't waste our time!"

"A bunch of frogs in a well! It's one thing to have never seen the sights of the Immortal Realm, but you dare to dawdle? Get on the ship now!"

"You're just eyesores, wasting our time!"

The Disciples spoke one after another with biting tones, showing no respect to the Prodigies who had come from the Five Regions and Two Heavens.

Seeing this, many children of Noble Families quickly bowed and apologized in low voices: "We are but mortals. Seeing the magnificent scenery of the Immortal Realm for the first time, we were momentarily awestruck and looked a few extra times. We apologize for the disturbance and hope for your forbearance..."

"Forbearance? Do a bunch of lowly things like you even deserve it?"

The Disciple interrupted sharply.

"Looked a few extra times? What do you think you are?"

"If it weren't for the grand event in the Immortal Realm, you wouldn't even have the right to step foot here! And you want to look more? Get lost!"

"If you don't want to board the ship, then get lost. We'll throw you all into the mining area to dig!"

A young man in brocade robes shouted coldly, his tone extremely domineering.

"Digging?"

Everyone's expression changed abruptly. Someone couldn't help but step forward: "Young Master, we are Prodigies here to participate in the Immortal Realm grand competition, not mining slaves!"

Slap!!!

A crisp slapping sound suddenly rang out as the young man in brocade sent the speaker flying with a single blow.

"I am Xu Qingyun, a True Disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect!"

"If I say you're going to dig, then digging is your fate!"

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being trash with no discernment. You don't even know how to cherish the opportunity to board the ship!"

"You don't even know how to be obedient dogs. If we don't send you to the mines, what else can you lowly things do?"

Xu Qingyun's face was grim, his tone violent, and his eyes were filled with condescending disdain and contempt.

A young man who had walked out from the Taiji Immortal Platform looked up, his brow furrowing.

"What are you barking for? A mere Saint doing chores here—what right do you have to give us orders?"

He said displeasurably.

The Taiyi Immortal Sect Disciples waiting for them were mostly in the Saint Realm.

Although these newcomers came from the Five Regions and Two Heavens, their own strength was mostly much greater than these people.

Being told to go dig in the mines was naturally something they wouldn't accept.

"What is your name? How dare you question us?"

Xu Qingyun immediately became frantic with rage.

"Desolate Heaven Domain, Qin Yutian."

Bang!

After speaking, he struck out with a palm, directly sending Xu Qingyun flying.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Someone actually dared to strike a member of an Immortal Sect.

"A bunch of cowards... people are riding over your faces, and you don't even dare to let out a fart!"

Little Heavenly Horned Ant said disdainfully.

He and Lin Jiuyang stood beside Qin Yutian, and they were instantly surrounded by the Immortal Sect Disciples.

"It's over, it's over! You've ruined us!"

Some of the timid ones, seeing themselves surrounded, immediately cried out in terror.

"Sirs... no... this has nothing to do with us. We don't know them!"

"Yes! We don't know them at all!"

They hurriedly began to beg for mercy.

"You dare to hit me... good... very good!"

"You dog! Do you know who my father is?"

Xu Qingyun clutched his face, speaking with extreme coldness.

He stood up; half of his face was now a bloody mess, the injury quite severe.

"Oh? Were you calling me?"

"Good son! Did your father not teach you how to behave while you're out?"

Qin Wushang stepped forward and responded.

He was also among this group, and naturally, he didn't want to be sent to the mines just like that.

"You! Presumptuous!"

"Who are you to dare insult my Young Master like this!"

A woman shouted angrily at Qin Wushang.

"Your Excellency!"

"This has nothing to do with you. Please step back."

Lin Jiuyang said with a raised eyebrow.

"How does it have nothing to do with me?"

"They're about to send this Demon Seed to the mines. If I don't stand up now, I'll have to endure being sent to dig!"

Qin Wushang gave a wicked and fierce smile.

The aura he emitted was terrifying, shocking even Qin Yutian.

"What a strong fellow!"

"He's almost the same as the Imperial Son... he might even be on the same level!"

He exclaimed in his heart.

"Everyone! People are riding over your faces. If you don't even dare to let out a fart, are you even human?"

"Did you go through all that hardship to come here just to be insulted?"

A female voice rang out, and a woman in a purple dress walked out.

Lin Ziyao.

She had already been prepared to board the ship, but when she saw Lin Jiuyang being surrounded, she turned back.

"You should have left!"

In the distance, Ye Hongfu sent a voice transmission to warn her.

"His people are here, how can I leave!"

Lin Ziyao said, her Saint Venerable aura exploding. The terrifying pressure caused Xu Qingyun's face to change.

But soon, he regained his arrogance.

"What are you all doing here?"

A voice rang out as a white-robed old man descended from the sky and landed in the center.

The moment he landed, the pressure Lin Ziyao was emitting instantly vanished.

"Revered Master! Revered Master! He hit me!"

"This lowly thing actually hit me! He used his Saint King cultivation to oppress me!"

Xu Qingyun clutched his face, putting on a look of grievance.

"You have no other skills, but you're quite good at barking. After barking and losing the fight, you call for your elder. You've certainly got a knack for that."

Qin Wushang spoke first.

The white-robed old man looked at him after hearing this, his cloudy eyes showing great surprise.

"A demonic cultivator...!"

He murmured. He clenched the fist of the hand he held behind his back, and immortal light began to gather.

"Grandpa Chen! Wait!"

Just then, there was movement from the Taiji Immortal Platform, and a woman flew over.

She landed in front of Qin Wushang.

Xu Qinghe!

"Grandpa Chen! This is a friend of mine! He is highly regarded by our Sect Master!"

"Please do not make things difficult for him!"

Xu Qinghe's initiative to speak took Qin Wushang by surprise.

"Little Sister!"

"You're saying he's your friend?"

Xu Qingyun pointed at Qin Wushang and the others, his hand trembling.

"That's right!"

"He is a very good person... Brother, can't you show some restraint?"

"Sect Master Juechen has already manifested an avatar and met him! Stop being so willful!"

"If both Sect Masters appear at the same time, they'll definitely throw you into the back mountains!"

Xu Qinghe stood with her hands on her hips, grumbling with dissatisfaction.

"Since that's the case, then you all should offer an apology to Qingyun, and we'll let this matter drop."

The white-robed old man thought for a moment and announced his decision.

But Xu Qingyun naturally wouldn't accept it.

"No!"

"He dared to hit me! Then he must kneel... all of them must kneel and kowtow to apologize to me!! And go to the mines for a hundred years!"

He said viciously.

Having been slapped in public, how could he continue to act like a big shot in the Immortal Sect?

"Brother! Are you crazy?"

Xu Qinghe was shocked and shouted.

"Don't be afraid!"

"I'm here!"

She turned to look at Qin Wushang and said slowly.

Qin Wushang raised an eyebrow.

Taiyi Immortal Sect, Taishang Immortal Sect...

Are these two things one Sect?

"Grandpa Chen!"

"When he passed the Immortal Staircase, it was multi-colored immortal light, while most of them were gold and red—otherwise, they wouldn't have been sent here. Do you really want to send them to the mines?"

Hearing this, the white-robed old man's expression changed.

"Multi-colored?"

"Yes! I guarantee it was multi-colored immortal light, and even Sect Master Juechen's avatar appeared!"

"Although Taiyi and Supreme have merged, well... I don't want to say too much, you should know the situation, Elder."

Xu Qinghe's words were quite vague.

But the white-robed old man nodded and waved his hand: "Disperse, those who should board the ship, board!"
