"Zhi Wu Immortal King?"
Lin Haotian, Qin Luoshui, Eleanor, and Wu Chen Jian Xian all looked at each other with confusion. This seemingly ordinary man in white robes was a Dao Integration Immortal King?
They had all been taught by Zhang Fan and understood the divisions of cultivation realms in the cultivation world.
It was precisely because of this that they understood how distant cultivators of the Immortal King level were to them.
But this middle-aged man in white robes, who appeared quite benevolent, was actually a Dao Integration Immortal King capable of annihilating stars with a wave of his hand?
"Oh?"
"You can discern my strength?"
Zhi Wu Immortal King was somewhat surprised. He wasn't surprised to be recognized in the Wu Shan Star Domain, as he was the first to break through to the Nascent Soul True Immortal realm in the past million years of the Wu Shan Star Domain, so he had some fame.
What surprised him was that someone in the Wu Shan Star Domain knew he had broken through to the Dao Integration Immortal King realm?
He had indeed entered the Dao Integration Immortal King realm ten thousand years ago, but only the Southern Venerable Heavenly Immortal in the entire Wu Shan Star Domain knew about it.
Perhaps one could know his current realm by purchasing information from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, but the cost of purchasing information about an Immortal King was something even the Southern Venerable Heavenly Immortal could not afford.
"Senior's strength is as vast and immeasurable as the starry sky, as unfathomable as a bottomless abyss. How could we, with our meager strength, discern it."
"However, Master once said that Senior had already broken through to the Nascent Soul True Immortal realm thirty thousand years ago. With Senior's peerless talent, you must have already entered the Dao Integration Immortal King realm by now." Xue Jing said respectfully.
A Dao Integration Immortal King was an absolute titan, even among their Blood Clan. Moreover, with Zhi Wu Immortal King's talent, even the position of Immortal Venerable could be expected, so how could they dare to be disrespectful?
"You, a cultivator who has cultivated a golden Nascent Soul and is a pure-blooded undying blood race member, are someone that even in the Wu Shan Star Domain, few of your peers can match. Yet you still have a Master?"
Xue Jing's flattery brought a hint of a smile to Zhi Wu True Immortal's face. At the same time, he became even more interested in the Master mentioned by this undead blood race member.
Zhi Wu Immortal King's gaze was very gentle, and his aura was as ordinary as that of a normal person, without the slightest oppressive feeling. Yet, as Xue Jing stood before him, he felt as if his entire body was exposed, with no secrets left to hide.
"Master's name is Zhang Fan, and he is also the recipient of the opportunity left by an Immortal King in the Milky Way. However, on our way to Nan Gu Star, we were ambushed by a powerful cultivator who had passed the four-tribulation Nascent Soul. In a life-or-death situation, Master, to protect us, broke through the void and created a spatial rift, entering it along with that cultivator. The Golden Light Immortal Mansion was also refined by me according to Master's instructions."
Xue Jing explained word by word.
"To save you?"
Zhi Wu Immortal King shifted his gaze from Xue Jing and glanced at everyone. This made him discover something even more astonishing.
"A Heavenly Immortal who cultivated a Nascent Soul with a top-grade second-tier Golden Core, a minor accomplished Sacred Body, a great accomplished King Body, and a sword cultivator who cultivated a top-grade second-tier Golden Core. And this last one..."
"His physique is so ethereal, and his cultivation technique is something even I find difficult to discern."
Zhi Wu Immortal King saw that each of them was extraordinary.
"However, to obtain the opportunity I left behind, one must have at least condensed a top-grade first-tier Golden Core. To break through to the Nascent Soul stage with a top-grade first-tier Golden Core, even without having passed the Nascent Soul tribulation, with the help of the Golden Light Immortal Mansion, it should not be difficult to resist a four-tribulation Nascent Soul cultivator, right?"
Zhi Wu Immortal King asked.
"Although Master has cultivated a top-grade first-tier Golden Core, he has not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. Moreover, the strength of the cultivator we encountered was not ordinary. I believe he had at least cultivated a silver Nascent Soul."
"Still in the Golden Core stage?"
Zhi Wu Immortal King was astonished. He had thought that the Master they spoke of was a Nascent Soul cultivator, as anyone who could obtain his left-behind opportunity was at least at the peak of the Golden Core realm, possessing strength comparable to ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
And after obtaining his left-behind opportunity, with abundant cultivation resources, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage would not be difficult.
Furthermore, it was quite incredible for a Golden Core cultivator to subdue a cultivator who had cultivated a golden Nascent Soul.
Just as Zhi Wu Immortal King was about to speak again, a heaven-shattering dragon's roar suddenly sounded. Xue Jing sensed movement within the Golden Light Immortal Mansion. He took out the mansion and threw it into the starry sky, where it transformed into a giant immortal mansion tens of feet high.
A stream of bloody light flew out from the Golden Light Immortal Mansion, then transformed into a giant blood-colored flood dragon that soared through the starry sky.
"Blood Demon Flood Dragon!"
The Blood Demon Flood Dragon, which had been in seclusion for several years, finally emerged from its cultivation. Everyone discovered that the Blood Demon Flood Dragon had become completely different from before. As its massive body moved, it possessed a hint of the charm of a dragon soaring through the nine heavens.
"To think it's a flood dragon containing the bloodline of a blood dragon, and it has already grown dragon claws and dragon horns. It seems to be beginning its ancestral return."
Zhi Wu Immortal King's smile deepened upon seeing the Blood Demon Flood Dragon.
"Where has Master gone? Why can't I sense Master's aura?" The Blood Demon Flood Dragon let out a deep dragon's roar from its mouth, lowering its massive head to ask Xue Jing and the others.
Zhang Fan had planted a spiritual seed in its consciousness space. With this spiritual seed, it could sense Zhang Fan within a certain range.
When it had successfully cultivated and emerged from seclusion, preparing to show off to its Master, it discovered that it could no longer sense its Master's aura.
"Master, to protect us, has fallen into a spatial rift. We don't know Master's whereabouts now." Xue Jing said with a heavy expression.
"Spatial rift?"
The Blood Demon Flood Dragon's two lantern-like eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent. Its gaze shifted, and it fixed on Zhi Wu Immortal King not far away, asking with a displeased expression, "Who are you?"
"Blood Demon, do not be rude!"
Seeing this, everyone's faces changed greatly, and they quickly shouted.
"Heh heh."
Faced with the Blood Demon Flood Dragon's somewhat displeased questioning, Zhi Wu Immortal King did not get angry. He chuckled softly and slowly extended his palm. The Blood Demon Flood Dragon felt its massive body shrink uncontrollably, then become as thin as a fingertip, like a newly hatched young snake, falling into Zhi Wu Immortal King's palm.
"So terrifying!"
The Blood Demon Flood Dragon, coiled in Zhi Wu Immortal King's palm, trembled. A Dao Integration Immortal King, even if only a trace of its aura leaked out, made it feel its soul tremble.
"The Blood Demon Flood Dragon only contains a very rare trace of the bloodline of a blood dragon. But I see that the blood dragon bloodline in your body is rich, and you are beginning to return to your ancestors. Have you cultivated the body-refining techniques of the blood dragon clan? Did your Master also teach it to you?" Zhi Wu Immortal King asked, looking at the Blood Demon Flood Dragon coiled in his palm.
"Yes."
The Blood Demon Flood Dragon no longer dared to be presumptuous and answered honestly.
"Just who is Zhang Fan? A mere Golden Core cultivator, yet able to break through the void and create a spatial rift."
"Everyone by his side is also extraordinary, at least having condensed a top-grade second-tier Golden Core, and there is even a minor accomplished Sacred Body."
Zhi Wu Immortal King's heart was filled with doubt, and he very much wanted to see what kind of divine being their Master was.
