Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 145 Brother Fang, what do you think?

"I wonder which mighty expert came..."

"Such a terrifying aura!"

"Could this be a Golden Core or...?" Experts like Jin Nan lay in a miserable state on the ground, only able to forcefully raise their heads to look at the phantom. Due to the brilliant sunlight, they couldn’t see anything clearly.

Every single cultivator present felt a sense of unease. Never in their wildest imaginations would they have expected to attract such a formidable being by conducting a simple spiritual test. They realized that the ordinary person named Fang Chen had already been taken in by some venerable old monster in the cultivation world as his disciple. They just hadn't had the chance to take him away for proper training.

This powerful being left a mark on Fang Chen that was triggered during the spiritual test and what happened next was...

"A divine immortal!"

"A true divine immortal!"

Many people around them kneeled in worship, their faces full of reverence.

"His sect... Is actually this terrifying?" Even Abbess Zhu Yue was shocked. No wonder Fang Chen had the inheritance of the Purple Lightning Talisman.

Fang Chen himself was stunned. The phantom couldn’t be anyone else other than Daoist Yun He!

So Daoist Yun He had left a hidden mark on him as a precaution from others taking him away before he could enter the Three Thousand Dao Sect!

"A bunch of little cats and dogs dare to compete with me for disciples? Do you not want to live anymore? This is my first warning. Don't force me to give a second one. If that happens, don’t blame me for annihilating your souls, giving you no chance to reincarnate!"

The phantom Daoist Yun He swept over the crowd with a cold gaze before disappearing.

Once he disappeared, the terrifying pressure that targeted only cultivators immediately vanished. Elder Jin Nan and others struggled to get up from the ground, and when they looked at Fang Chen again, their eyes carried a deep sense of awe.

"I can't believe it..." Li Daoye was dumbfounded. He had never expected Fang Chen's background to be so terrifying. The master of the other party hadn't even appeared, but he was able to suppress all the Foundation Building cultivators with a mere projection!

How powerful must that be? It was beyond the ability of Foundation Building Realm cultivators and he had to be in the Golden Core Realm at the very least!

“That’s an existence at the Golden Core Realm at the very least... My goodness, no wonder he has so many talismans! No wonder he can wield treasures made of Moon Sinking Gold! A disciple valued by someone like that... Can't be measured by common sense. They are all monstrous existences...” Li Daoye’s heart surged with waves of shock. After the shock, he became somewhat excited. As it turned out, the thigh he was hugging was an extraordinarily big one! MUAHAHA!

"How could this happen... He has already been taken as a disciple by a more powerful immortal?" Xia Yu stared at Fang Chen blankly. Suddenly, a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. He had excellent talent and was about to join the Heavenly Southern Sect, yet was still inferior to Fang Chen.

The civil and military officials of Grand Xia were puzzled initially, but began to understand what happened. Finally, they understood why Fang Chen had suddenly regained his cultivation.

The Grand Xia Emperor also remembered that Fang Chen had mentioned meeting a Daoist, which led to the recovery of his cultivation. Considering the current situation, that Daoist must be the existence who had just suppressed all the immortals on the ground and rendered them unable to move.

Some were shocked while others were terrified.

Ancestor Xia Yu's lips trembled slightly. He had lived for over a hundred years, but he encountered such a situation for the first time. He recalled the scene where he threatened Fang Chen at the Fang Manor not long ago, and a chill ran through his body as he shivered uncontrollably.

His junior brother and sister were not much better off. Even though Li Daoye’s background was surprising, the recent events left them feeling fearful. Fortunately, they hadn't offended Fang Chen earlier and had refrained from saying anything inappropriate. They felt extremely thankful for their actions, or rather, what they didn’t do earlier..

"I thought... The crown prince could suppress him this time..." Ye Qinghe murmured to himself. He had thought that with the crown prince's excellent talent, after joining the sect, it wouldn't take long to surpass Fang Chen in all aspects. However, who would have thought that Fang Chen had already been taken in as a disciple by an immortal silently?

The empress looked surprised, then suddenly glanced at Consort Hua. When Consort Hua sensed her gaze, her face became a bit unnatural and she avoided eye contact.

Seeing that, the empress couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

A profound silence enveloped the surroundings, and everyone remained immersed in the recent shock. It wasn't until Elder Jin Nan broke the silence that the deathly quiet atmosphere was shattered.

"Little brother, as it turns out, you’re already a disciple of a sect. Everything earlier was a grave misunderstanding. Please forgive us, and I hope you can ask your esteemed master to accept our apology..." apologized Elder Jin Nan politely, clasping his fists towards Fang Chen.

"Senior, there's no need to be so formal." Fang Chen nodded.

"I’m not a senior, not a senior at all! We should be considered peers, and your esteemed master can be our senior." Elder Jin Nan waved his hands repeatedly in response.

Daoist Ya and others also chimed in, echoing Elder Jin Nan's sentiments.

Upon seeing that scene, Xia Yu's expression became increasingly complex.

Even these immortal masters had become so polite, which showed how powerful Fang Chen's sect was. There was no way he could compare to Fang Chen in martial arts, and he wasn’t as good as the divine general when leading troops. He was even inferior in the ways of cultivation!

He was not willing to accept it! Xia Yu clenched his fists slightly and his eyes turned red.

Jin Nan and the others dared not let Fang Chen test his spirit anymore, but everyone did not doubt that his talent was definitely above Xia Yu's.

Otherwise, how could Fang Chen be admitted to the sect by those powerful experts?

Even Jin Nan and those beside him believed the same, so they instructed Xia Yu to arrange a seat for Fang Chen so he can sit next to Jin Nan.

When he saw how Fang Chen could sit beside Elder Jin Nan while he could only stand somewhere in the plaza, unwillingness and humiliation surged in Xia Yu’s heart.

Unfortunately, no matter how unwilling he was, he could not change what had happened. The spiritual testing continued, but there was an additional figure in the seats compared to before.

The person who occupied it was the divine general of the Grand Xia Empire!

The sixth princess, who had previously mocked Fang Chen, could only hide behind Fire Cloud Immortal and quietly stare at Fang Chen from afar.

The testing continued with the young members of the court and their families. Many could only produce one chime, and some couldn't even manage that. Two and three chimes were rare, and not a single person could produce four. The confidence that was present earlier among the participants had diminished. The younger participants in the later rounds became increasingly nervous, fearing disappointing results.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Five chimes!

The attention of the crowd was focused on Li Huafeng, their faces filled with envy. Being able to produce five chimes was enough for him to be accepted into one of the immortal sects and embark on the path of cultivation.

"Congratulations, prime minister!"

"Li Huafeng was talented in martial arts from the beginning, and now he proves his talent in cultivation."

Li Guozhu also wore a joyful expression. The Li Family was producing a cultivator, a status even more prestigious than having a prime minister in the empire.

Li Huafeng, however, maintained a stoic expression. While grateful for the opportunity, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of dissatisfaction. His talent was not comparable to Xia Yu, let alone Fang Chen. That was a regrettable aspect.

"Does anyone object to him being my disciple?" Daoist Ya looked at Li Huafeng and asked the crowd.

There were no objections from the crowd. However, Elder Jin Nan turned to Fang Chen and asked, "Brother Fang, what do you think?"

That question made Li Huafeng break out in a cold sweat. The old grudge between him and Fang Chen from their youth was well-known, and now, with that question, he couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. Li Guozhu was also slightly shocked, taking in a sharp breath.

They all knew about the previous conflicts between Li Huafeng and Fang Chen when they were younger. The enmity they developed back then wasn’t trivial at all!
