Chapter 1124: Eighteen Years Olds Should Do Eighteen Years Old Things
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mu Longyu felt mixed emotions regarding this.
He did not ask about it further, nor did he go to look for Jiang Hao.
He did not plan to look for him outside the Lawless Tower.
If he could meet Jiang Hao in the Lawless Tower, he would ask him there.
As far as he knew, not many people knew that Hai Luo was in the Lawless Tower.
Naturally, he could not let the news spread.
Otherwise, it would bring more trouble.
There were some things that should not be made widely known,
He would not ask too many questions about Mu Yin, either. That would raise suspicions.
If that happened, everything he was doing would be of no use.
After a while, Mu Longyu stood in front of Lawless Tower in amazement. No matter how many times he saw this tower, it left him in awe.
The outside was completely different from what was inside.
Only when one entered the tower could they feel the extraordinary power.
He had been here many times before and had cooperated with the Heavenly Note Sect many times. He was allowed to enter without any hindrance.
He went straight to the fifth floor.
When Hai Luo saw Mu Longyu, he sneered. “The Heavenly King who failed.”
“What would that make you then, Hai Luo?” asked Mu Longyu.
“I have never failed, nor have I been defeated by adversity. Can you really compare yourself to me?” Hai Luo asked icily.
“Just because you haven’t tried becoming an immortal ever doesn’t mean you wouldn’t fail,” said Mi Lingyue. “As expected from you. I wonder which heavenly King it was who said he couldn’t become an immortal even if he wanted to.”
“Ridiculous!” Heavenly King Hai Luo said disdainfully. “I was only saying that to make you all feel better about your pathetic situations.”
“Really? Can you say that to your Master?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked.
“I’m not afraid of anyone. Can someone at the Golden Core Realm threaten a king like me? I have no weakness. No one can control me,” said Hai Luo proudly.
His aura at the early stage of the Soul Ascension Realm radiated.
“Your cultivation realm has improved,” said Mu Longyu. He was rather pleased.
If Hai Luo was willing, he would help him recover his cultivation realm to its peak within forty years.
Even after that, they would still have the opportunity to become immortals.
“The rest of the Heavenly Kings failed to become immortals. It was… expected. But it has made it clearer than ever that becoming an immortal is not easy,” said Mu Longyu.
Mi Lingyue recounted the requirements for the Heavenly Kings to become immortals. All the twelve kinds would have to be present and willing. They also needed a person of great fortune to open the immortal path.
Mu Longyu was astonished.
The news had spread, after all.
It seemed like the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower was not simple at all. However, no such person was here.
The Twelve Heavenly Kings were destined to fail from the beginning.
Before he could sigh, Mi Lingyue said, “Hai Luo’s Master said that he has an answer to the question you asked last time. You can ask him when he visits. He also knows about the recruitment of new disciples. But he did say that there is always a price for everything.”
Mu Longyu was delighted.
The question he asked before was naturally related to becoming an immortal.
The second news surprised him. So, that was why Jiang Hao had approached Mu Yin.
But what did Jiang Hao want in return?
The mention of a price terrified him. What if they were not able to pay it?
“Alright. I’ll wait for him here,” Mu Longyu said.
“How is the situation overseas?” asked the lantern bearer.
“Not very good. The Ancestral Dragon’s Heart has had a strange reaction.” Mu Longyu sighed.
…
In the Imperial City in the South, Bi Zhu was sitting on a swing in the garden.
She was bored. There was nothing to do.
‘There hasn’t been any news… I wonder what’s going on outside.’ Bi Zhu looked outside and sighed.
She had been living quite a peaceful life in the Imperial City.
There was nothing for her to do. She suddenly felt peaceful.
What made her happier was that no Golden Core Realm experts had appeared to warn her.
This was the southern region that she was familiar with.
As for The End of All Things, they were not making any fuss at the moment.
She waited for the gathering to exchange some news.
Gu Changsheng’s words made her a little concerned.
The one at the core of the End of All Things had a spiritual corruption.
If it appeared in the South, who knew what would happen to the place?
Bi Zhu sighed bitterly. ‘What does that have to do with me? The immortal sect is there for things like that. I’m just a simple princess. I can’t do anything about it.’
Bi Zhu finally relaxed.
She should eat and drink and be merry. There was no need to worry about big crises before they happened.
There were large sects in the south and immortal sects in other regions.
If anything happened, they would step up.
After swaying on the swing for a while, she decided to find her royal sister, Wen Xue, and talk about the number one genius of the royal family.
Wen Xue had received the protection of the royal family’s inheritance. She wondered how she had done that. Bi Zhu wanted to learn.
She also wanted the protection of her ancestors too.
As she got up from the swing, she froze. ‘The token I left… Someone used it!’
Bi Zhu was surprised. After some thought, she decided to go and see who it was.
“Auntie Qiao, let’s go.”
The two of them quickly left the imperial family and made their way to the prosperous city nearby.
Lan Qian stood in front of an inn in a sorry state. Her cultivation was a mess, and she had run out of resources.
She could not afford an inn with a formation.
But she needed to stay in such an inn.
Otherwise, it would be easy for her pursuers to notice her location.
“Miss, you need to pay a hundred spirit stones,” said the middle-aged man. “Our array formation is quite impressive. Even Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators can’t break it. I think it’ll meet your requirements.”
Lan Qian hesitated for a moment. “Can I pay it later?”
“This is a small inn. We don’t give credits,” said the middle-aged man.
Lan Qian could feel that she was running out of time and needed to cultivate as soon as possible.
After fumbling around, she found a jade pendant.
Back then, Junior Brother Yun Qi had given it to her.
He said it could be used in the South.
“Can I pay with this instead?” She gritted her teeth and handed the jade pendant over.
She felt a little guilty.
The middle-aged man’s face changed as he saw the pendant.
He bowed to her with the utmost respect. “Esteemed guest, why didn’t you say you had such a token? You can, of course, stay at the inn.”
Lan Qian was surprised. She nodded.
The middle-aged man who had been looking down on her suddenly acted so humbly after seeing the jade pendant.
It shocked her.
How much power did this jade pendant have?
“The first room on the upper floor is empty. I’ll escort you there,” said the middle-aged man. Then, he handed the pendant back to her. “Here. This is yours. Please take care of it well.”
After that, Lan Qian was ushered to her room.
Bi Zhu and Qiao Yi arrived at the inn.
Bi Zhu asked about the jade pendant at the counter.
“Oh, it’s Senior Sister Lan Qian!” Bi Zhu smiled when she heard what had happened. “I haven’t seen her for so many years. Why is she in such a sorry state? Did something happen to the Divine Corpse Sect?”
Bi Zhu was curious.
She was glad for small problems like these instead of earth-shattering crises.
After all, she was only eighteen years old. She could not take on big responsibilities.
